@@RanaRandom not totally true..they love metal but they like rap and hip hop and will dance & shake their butts . They love Snoop Doggy Dogg and was on their show 😄
I hope Blancmange knows that we remember this video because it left a special place in our nostalgic hearts. Not even the Hooters' "And We Danced" video had much impact as this.
I saw this video several times on MTV in early 1986, but I never heard it on the radio, and then I forgot all about it. I rediscovered it a few years ago and it's aged well.
90s kid here, but I also grew up watching Flight of the Navigator. It was one of my favorites, and still is! Was looking for this music video, and then I remembered I could just go to the IMDB page and look up the music in the movie ^^
Dang, I love this video. So hilarious! Watching Arthur's mop flop around as he tries to yank a sink out of the wall, and the constant strangely shocked look on Luscombe's face--one of their best, IMO.
This was my dad’s favourite song when he was 16 years old back in 1986 he has the 7 inch single and taped the music video on MTV (back when they actually played music videos)
One of the worlds best songs imo, listen to the words, and the tune and think about all the friends and love ones you have, reallllly makes you think, and now it's up to each of us
Around the time this song was out, they did an interview with Smash Hits (?) and one of them said it was old fashioned to apologize for being a synthesizer band. I loved that they said that! At the time it was a a bit of a bold statement which is really hard to imagine these days.
I have the record from the 80s. No way to play it but thought about it yesterday. Found it today online. Amazing since I don't think I've heard it since the 80s. Lots of old emotions and memories are neatly boxed and put away with the song in my mind. And now a joy to re-experience them, much older and on the other end of the life story.
Great comment. I am listening to Neil's solo album while I add Blancmange to a playlist. I remember it from 1993 but had largely ignored it since until this week- there are some very good tracks on it, especially Suitcase.
i’ve found it! i was obsessed with flight of the navigator when it released on dvd in the 2000s. this song has lived rent free in my mind for 17 years😭
@@cantagiousca5220 Twisted Sister was the concert the girl went to, not the music video playing. Two completely different 80s music references going on at practically the same time.
Came here after watching flight of the navigator and VHS. Got the title from the credits 😁 nice song 🎶🙂🎶the editor of the video must have been creeped out a little bit by the blonde guy. They only show his close up funny face once 🤔😂🤣😂🤣😁
I remember this music video very specifically from Flight of the Navigator. But it wasn't until now when I got to see this music video in its entirety. And man, these guys are crazy. They sure do like to destroy things. But the song itself is catchy though.
Imagine being 12, getting in a coma or something then waking up 8 years later, getting transported to a high security research center near NASA, turning the TV on and seeing this
This is so ridiculous. The perfect weirdness for a kid from the 70’s to come across while looking for Starsky & Hutch on tv….while talking to the girl from Sex and the City.
Interesting that there's a version of this music video with different edits and footage to this one. The other one has more clips of the house exterior. The other version also features a clip of the chicken landing on the floor which appeared in the Flight of the Navigator film that's missing from this version. Update: Upon quickly researching it seems the other version was a "watered down" version due to the official version being banned in some countries for being too violent.
As a 70s kid, most nuevo wavo stuff seemed real twee to me, esp. this vid when it first came out. Being older now I can look back and think some of thise acts were really legit, like the Cure, Depeche, Spandau Ballet, Cabaret Voltaire, et al. Now I look at this and think, how bruised up were these cats after this shoot? ;)
It does seem rather silly at first, but when you consider the lyrics and song title it starts to make sense that a "home" becomes broken and no longer a home when love goes away. If you've ever lived with an S.O and it didn't work out and needed to vacate the place this video will speak volumes. Or at least it did to me.
If you were traveling beyond the speed of light and you could’ve been gone only 4.4 hours and the rest of us here on Earth would’ve aged 8 years. Time slows down as you approach the speed of light.
I would love to know the story behind this music video. Why they kept the shots as long as they did, was there a deeper meaning behind each of the items destroyed? The effects shots are great for the time and budget, but nearly every shot sits on the artists just a second after the director appears to have shouted "CUT!" if it's a specific editorial choice, it is brilliant in a surrealist comment on the MV medium just as it was solidifying as a standalone genre of video art. If the editing team, on the other hand, was given too few useable shots to cover the runtime of the audio; then it's an enormous save by that team to supply us with as coherent a final product as they did.
Fight of the navigator bought me here I love the 1980s a simpler time
Being a kid back in the 80s, I was first introduced to this song by Flight of the Navigator. ☺
That’s cos starsky and hutch had been cancelled 🤣
Oh... My... God...!!!! I finally get to hear the "No, no, no, no, no, no" song!
What a great movie
Same here
THAT'S what it was! I was trying to work out which film or TV programme had a character watching this video! Thank you.
The first renovating reality TV show.
Imagine living in 1978, being used to watch Starsky & Hutch and suddenly 8 years later you turn on the TV and see this.
😁 poor David!
@Lee It’s a reference to the film ‘Flight of the Navigator’.
"Twisted Sister? Never heard of her." - "It's a him - well, a them."
1978: Disco & Starskey & Hutch
1986: New Wave & Miami Vice
A big jump from the 70s into the 80s
Lmfao
It’s 12:22pm on a rainy Sunday afternoon in Scotland and I’m watching flight of the navigator - so naturally I’ve arrived here at this 80’s classic 😊
Surprised this never appeared on Beavis and Butthead.
"Uh, this sucks."
"Wait, Butthead, they're breaking stuff! BREAK IT!! Yeah, BREAK IT!!!"
I read this out loud in there voices lol
Yeah, but they do actually suck though, as much as I wanted to love them. [I didn't] Q.Q
Lol this would have been a good one
they only care about Death Metal genre ^.^
@@RanaRandom not totally true..they love metal but they like rap and hip hop and will dance & shake their butts . They love Snoop Doggy Dogg and was on their show 😄

It has all the writing of a New Wave classic. The beat, melody, the MTV style and being Brits.
I consider this to be one of the best 80's songs of all-time.
Hahaha 😂.....wait, are you being serious 🤣?
@@orphanoforbit7588 Yes.
The Demo is exceptionally good!
I agree.
Not so much the song but definitely the video
Flight of the Navigator totally brought me here! 🛸

I am a native Floridian and this takes me back to my youth watching MTV in my NASA holding room drinking my coke. I don't remember what kind it was.
Was it New Coke, Diet Coke, Cherry Coke, or Caffiene Free Coke?
Diet,zero sugar,sugar free
Were Big Macs still around back then?
Did you chat with the girl in the purple hair?
When are you getting released?
90s kid here, but I also grew up watching Flight of the Navigator. It was one of my favorites, and still is! Was looking for this music video, and then I remembered I could just go to the IMDB page and look up the music in the movie ^^
You can also just watch the credits. It's the only song listed that remotely could be this.
This video features in the film 'Flight of the Navigator' Awesome band that deserves a lot more credit
Dang, I love this video. So hilarious! Watching Arthur's mop flop around as he tries to yank a sink out of the wall, and the constant strangely shocked look on Luscombe's face--one of their best, IMO.
Watching flight of the navigator and this came on love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cannot believe I'm watching the music video that was featured on my ultimate childhood movie 😊😊😊😊😊😊
This was my dad’s favourite song when he was 16 years old back in 1986 he has the 7 inch single and taped the music video on MTV (back when they actually played music videos)
Your dad is cool!

I've been looking for this since forever. My childhood song from the Flight of the Navigator. Thank you...😭❤
just discovered this song the other day via a random blancmange binge, slowly becoming my favourite from them.
A+++++++ Great synth band. Underrated video or never rated
Around the time this song was out, they did an interview with Smash Hits (?) and one of them said it was old fashioned to apologize for being a synthesizer band. I loved that they said that! At the time it was a a bit of a bold statement which is really hard to imagine these days.
Everything is underrated these days because no one has enough vocabulary to describe what they really want to say.
Being a kid born in the late 90‘s that song is awesome and I found it because of flight of the navigator
I remember seeing this video when it came out ( I was 12 YO )
Thought it was pretty strange but I loved their energy!
I have the record from the 80s. No way to play it but thought about it yesterday. Found it today online. Amazing since I don't think I've heard it since the 80s.

How come Starsky & Hutch isn’t on?
Love the way they pour the paint down the stairs... looks like just how the steps form out of the craft!
Love it man feel young again! Nothing like the "Magical 80's Man!" These boys rock man!
God knows how much i love this track .... all of a sudden i`m like 14 again !! thanks for posting ..peace ya`ll

Who else loves the classics so much better than the music now.
