and its based on a true story! based on a club he was in, in i think japan?? people were dancing with their reflections in mirrors rather than each other lol
Billy was heavily influenced by elvis i totally can see him as a punk rock elvis if elvis had come out in the 80s this is what we would have got or close to it
I was just a kid when he was at the height of his fame. My parents didn't want us to be 'rebellious' and didn't wants us to listen to him. lol And now I listen to his music and I always smile. The 80's were time like no other, definitely one of the greatest decades in music. He is included.
I am from Perú and it seems that he will be playing for the VERY FIRST TIME here and let me tell you....DANCING WITH MYSELF LIVE WILL BE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ME TOO. I CAN NOT WAIT!!
Billy’s voice is a diamond.... despite being a punk rocker since the Generation X, his vocals are the best among other pop or rock singers... As for his songs, he has written some great diamonds that are left in music history
CyberPunk album is pretty good and he went off on a limb to take chances with it. Also Generation X band, got the name for each generation because of Billy.
@@ivanmartin1457 Yes it does.. It's only down hill from any era. This means that some day you too will look at music, entertainment, and society and say "I remember the good old days"..
I remember meeting Billy Idol at the El Mocombo, Toronto in the early eighties. He had left Generation X and was now on his own. Someone I knew in the audience was good friends with them. So took me back stage before his performance. Some of my friends had tried to convince me that he had sold out by leaving his former band. I didn't say too much to him. But he went out of his way to be very friendly. He walked us down the stairs later saying he had to get ready to go on. H was very sweet. No attitude. I was impressed.
Never meet an artist before they are set to go on stage. They are getting ready for the show, warming up, trying to focus, nervous and so on. Emotionally they are not usually at their best at that moment.
Oh no, my 13 year old daughter loves this song, and thinks it is hilarious when her 50 yr old Dad, cranks this up in my work truck and start dancing while I am driving with her. 😊
I’m 64 and still dancing with myself.I was told Billy was born in 1955,the same as me,and his birthday is coming up on November 30th.So Happy 64th Birthday Billy Idol,and thanks for the great music!
My father was a professional dancer and I spent a lot of time dancing in public with him! Problem I was shy so at home alone I’d blast and dance with myself!, Billy always makes me HAPPY!!!!🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I used to dance with my oldest niece to this song. She'll be 11 this September and almost as tall as I am. I remember the summer nights of her bouncing on my hip as we rocked out this song. I hope she never stops dancing with her auntie. 💜
3 seconds of song and you are already moving. Impossible to stand still. I'd love to be like Phil in Groundhog Day and relive '80ies and '90ies forever
I remember this song in this movie called "Flushed Away". Ever since that movie came out, I wouldn't stop listening to this song. It fits my personality, very catchy, and very nostalgic! Thank you, Billy Idol, for making this masterpiece! :)
I was 10-12 YO on new year’s eve skiing vacation and found a Billy Idol cassette, heard it all the way back home on my walkman and this is still one of my favorite songs ever

Hace dos años un amigo del colegio fallecio por circuntancias de la vida y esta cancion es lo unico que me queda y no pude ni despedirme , donde quiera que estes amigo espero encuentres tu luz y sigas rockeando como lo haciamos en los conciertos
On my mix tape walking round New York with my Purple Mohecan - those were the days. London clubs in the 80's we all danced with ourselves - I used to get annoyed when folks tried to talk to me :) Come to think of it I did that in the 70's, 90's and 2000's too - it was always about the music, dancing in front of the front right speaker at oh so many clubs.. So pleased I was around then :)
I can't describe how this song makes me happy. It literally shouts in your face that its alright to not have so many friends, go on a super party or having girlfriend. There is something magic about being alone, its your world and your reign, and as the lyrics say "there's nothing to loose, and nothing to prove". This is not a level, a terrible battle or an epic moment, just a recess when you can hug your soul for a while
I hope you are happy, but consider this track for rotation in your "I'm sorta sad but want to be kinda happy" playlist? ... th-cam.com/video/Nl5oRU8fOYA/w-d-xo.html

I always thought he said the girls of tokoyo. I used to dance to this. I received no luvs for it .. 😔. /Lucky for them I danced to plenty of songs about masterbation.. 🥴. This is gonna be my new emoji bc I got an ish load of personalities
There are so many emotions that convey with me in this song. Those school dances where no girl would go out with me,the dj's that would never take my song requests, Flushed Away, the movie that was such an essential part of my childhood that I literally thought was just a weird fever dream I had, making my own dance to go along with this, lip-syncing every word and sound coming from Billy Idol's mouth, singing along to it on the radio, and my relationship with my friend and this song. At first he just teased me on how true I fit in this song, and then he got into it, and despite the 86 millions views this video has, the fact he says that we're the only fans of this song period cracks me up every time. This song is forever a part of me even if I do get married some day. This will also probably be what makes me feel close to that friend when I might not see him anymore.
Billy idol live forever the most melodic rocker in the entire world lots and loads of love and best wishes and may god almighty always keep u safe and healthy love from pakistan
Escuchando esta joya después de verlo en vivo en Chile, por primera vez a sus 66 años. Tremendo Billy Idol, calidad que trasciende generaciones 🎧💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥
Billy Idol, dancing with myself, always makes me wanna get up and dance. Been a Billy Idol fan since 82, when i saw the rebel yell video. Last week heard his latest track, awesome as ever.
I’m twelve, this is my favorite song and it has been since I can remember . My dream is to be in a band with my brother him being the main guitarist and me the drummer. I hope with the music I create I can bring back some of the magic from the 80’s because there is just no other music that can compare. My father was in many bands and I wish to follow his footsteps, I have major confidence issues but I hope can overcome it through music.
You don't need confidence, you've got something better. You've got the fire of rock. Always follow the sacred fire inside you ;) Good luck. It is so good to know that there are still youngs willing to carry the torch. Rock on kid and never stop!

Billy Idol is a talented singer/songwriter. Has a great body of work. Very underrated by many!
I'm recutting this song with minor changes in the title and lyrics. "I'm talking to myself"
The Elvis of Punk!!! I grew up through the 80’s. So many fond childhood memories from his music. Most underrated rock star and guitar hero ever.
Saw someone call him David Bowie lite, and I haven't stopped laughing since 😂 Man's great on his own
Billy was heavily influenced by elvis i totally can see him as a punk rock elvis if elvis had come out in the 80s this is what we would have got or close to it

nothing beats dancing in ur room with this on full volume
Doing it right now 'OK'. I would ask you to join me, but...
Of course you just do it yourself 😂😂😂
Literally am doin that rn
would you consider dancing to this in your room with full volume on? th-cam.com/video/Nl5oRU8fOYA/w-d-xo.html
I couldn’t have said it better.
I can't describe how this song makes me happy. It literally shouts in your face that its alright to not have so many friends, go on a super party or having girlfriend. There is something magic about being alone, its your world and your reign, and as the lyrics say "there's nothing to loose, and nothing to prove". This is not a level, a terrible battle or an epic moment, just a recess when you can hug your soul for a while
When I'm kind of sad, I like to listen to this song. Is perfect
I hope you are happy, but consider this track for rotation in your "I'm sorta sad but want to be kinda happy" playlist? ... th-cam.com/video/Nl5oRU8fOYA/w-d-xo.html
Stimmt,bin wieder 20 !👍🤣wunderschön
I played this song while taking my kids to school this morning and they loved it!
This song will always be in my heart as a 80s song please don't let this song die
This is brings so much Nostalgia! 🥲
Don't worry, it's not going anywhere. It's a classic and classics never die.
I was 19 when this Amazing album came out. I was so beyond happy then. Now I am old🥲
I Need To Go Back To The 80s Immediately!!!

This is one of those songs that, when it comes on the radio, I automatically crank the volume up to 'ears bleed' level.
My better half always complains when I pump this up in the car. My response is always: 'if it's too loud, then you're too old!' 🤣
True that.Only way to give true dignity to 80s sounds is to "Crank that baby up"!

When my kids were about 8 and 6 and I tried to get them to listen to Billy Idol they would cover their ears and run away yelling.
A dozen years later and guess who is now one of their favorites?
On the floors of Tokyo, or down in London town to go-go
With the record selection and the mirror's reflection
I'm a-dancing with myself
When there's no one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself
Oh oh, dancing with myself
Oh oh, dancing with myself
Well, there's nothing to lose and there's nothing to prove
When I'm dancing with myself
Oh oh oh-oh
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself
So let's sink another drink cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself
Oh oh, dancing with myself

I'll ruin this song for you now:
The Lyrics aren't about being lonely, but about Masturbation
Thank you
I always thought he said the girls of tokoyo. I used to dance to this. I received no luvs for it
.. 😔. /Lucky for them I danced to plenty of songs about masterbation.. 🥴. This is gonna be my new emoji bc I got an ish load of personalities
There are so many emotions that convey with me in this song. Those school dances where no girl would go out with me,the dj's that would never take my song requests, Flushed Away, the movie that was such an essential part of my childhood that I literally thought was just a weird fever dream I had, making my own dance to go along with this, lip-syncing every word and sound coming from Billy Idol's mouth, singing along to it on the radio, and my relationship with my friend and this song. At first he just teased me on how true I fit in this song, and then he got into it, and despite the 86 millions views this video has, the fact he says that we're the only fans of this song period cracks me up every time. This song is forever a part of me even if I do get married some day. This will also probably be what makes me feel close to that friend when I might not see him anymore.
Remember when music was fun? No? Put this song on repeat
Do you think this is fun? fun enough for 2021?? th-cam.com/video/Nl5oRU8fOYA/w-d-xo.html

The closing shot where it's zooming out and then showcases everyone dancing from afar is a very pleasing moment.
Fun fact. My mom when she was 13 her first concert she went to was Billy idol & me at 13 my first concert was none other billy idol 🤘
Very cool.
That's carazy
Billy Idol, dancing with myself, always makes me wanna get up and dance. Been a Billy Idol fan since 82, when i saw the rebel yell video. Last week heard his latest track, awesome as ever.
I'm here because I enjoy dancing with myself, I mean, litterally, not only the song.
Melvin Franco same 😊
LOL!!
Finally a song about being alone that isn't also about being lonely!!!
Right ,I get that it's time to pull your self up by the bootstraps and rock on
I’m twelve, this is my favorite song and it has been since I can remember . My dream is to be in a band with my brother him being the main guitarist and me the drummer. I hope with the music I create I can bring back some of the magic from the 80’s because there is just no other music that can compare. My father was in many bands and I wish to follow his footsteps, I have major confidence issues but I hope can overcome it through music.
You got this little dude
You don't need confidence, you've got something better. You've got the fire of rock. Always follow the sacred fire inside you ;) Good luck. It is so good to know that there are still youngs willing to carry the torch. Rock on kid and never stop!
I believe in you buddy
you got this dude
You're awesome, I hope to hear your music someday!
