Actually I take it back. This wouldn't be in a nightclub scene, it'd be over a soulful introspection montage, like after Crockett couldn't save his girlfriend from dying. That'd be *peak* 80s.
I'm 26 years old, from Canada (Québec). I usually listen to music from the 80s/90s/00s. This song just pierced my heart and I'm hooked. Australian new wave tracks are incredibly underrated Stay electric!
Our GenX crew grew up with the best music. The saxophone really brought a certain uniqueness to this song. God I miss this music. Thank goodness for TH-cam!
Absolutely! I'm 50 years old and currently on my second battle with cancer. My childhood home is not far from the hospital where I receive treatment. I'll drive by on occasion while listening to all of the songs from the 80's that remind me of my awesome childhood. This song is definitely one of them. It truly was a magical decade to grow up in!
Same here. Love the 80s. All those girls. I wonder where they are now?? When I hear an;80s song I can go straight to a particular period in the 89s. Favourite song is I HEAR THE SECRETS THAT YOU KEEP! Love that song.
My seven-year-old daughter just told me she wants to listen to Electric Blue all night. I just found it last night after having forgotten it for decades. A wonderful rediscovery.
Good parenting definitely has it's own rewards, and you've obviously got it! I'm just sad that there will never be music like this ever made again......we were the lucky ones, us '80's teens.
I'm a migrant who came to this Great Southern Land in 2015 -- same year I first heard this song on the radio onboard a ferry to Manly -- I had to hold my phone near the speaker to Shazam the title :D This song and Great Southern Land are rightfully my migrant songs in AU. 8 years and counting, I am now a citizen and hearing this song brings back so many memories of my start in Sydney. Those who listened to this in the 80's how lucky are you folks that you have such a great soundtrack of your lovely good 'ole days
It is beyond crazy how a song can capture the essence of an entire decade. Not every moment of the 80s was 'great' ... nothing is ever perfect ... but that decade was as close to perfect as one could get on this planet.
Well, besides the world being on the brink of nuclear war a couple of times, yeah, pretty great. My memories of the 80's were also very fond, but still millions starved and died in wars. See the controversy? Nothing has changed since then in that respect.
1987...I was 17 and in my senior year of high school. Some songs hit a certain way and bring me right back to those days. This is one of them. I wish I could be back there again ❤️
i hear u. Something special about music that seems to cut right through time. Hear just one note and ur teleported to the first time u ever heard it...what u were doing..who u were with. Magic. :) C.
I want my mullet back. Hell, I want my HAIR back! Anyone in 2020 listening to this MASTER PIECE !!! You can hear John Oates of Hall and Oates in the background. He produced this song!
I was 12 when this song came out and I remember sitting up all night trying to catch it on the radio to "tape" it on an old cassette. Then i took it with me on a roadtrip with my family to the beach. I remember rewinding it over and over. 34 years later and the song still stings me with intense nostalgia and brings me right back there. Love and peace to any fellow 80s kids who still return to these songs for comfort. ❤
This is arguably the Most '80s song and video ever produced. It has everything-- 1. Electronic drums that sound like thunder. 2. Good-looking gap-tooth lead singer with the most magnificent mullet ever. 3. The keytar. 4. Obligatory hot woman for the eye candy factor 5. Future hot-rod builder Chip Foose on the sax. 6. Catchy, feel-good vibe. 7. Chorus that just delightfully sticks in your head. When this song and video hit MTV, it must have been like the ENTIRE '80s landed at once. The '80s ruled.
I will agree that the factors you mentioned make it a great video but my choice for most 80s sounding is Everybody Wants to rule the world.. I hear that song and its 1985 again but I think we can agree we both have good tastes in music
Absolutely!!!!! Songs like this just bring back youthful memories of a time in your life when possibilities seemed endless and horizons stretched forever. Probably the only time in your life you felt true blissful freedom.
ACDC, INXS, Icehouse, Midnight oil, Crowded House, Air Supply, Little River Band...the list goes on.. a small country with a huge musical footprint. Thank you Australia!
Thank you Iva and the band for one of my all time favourite songs. I remember having a crush on you when I was about 14 and Dad recently went through the garage and decided to re use on of my old folders for some appointment. Some one asked him. “Do you like Icehouse ? “. He had to tell them that it was his daughter (that is me). Thanks for the wonderful memories.
Few artists today can match the uniqueness and quality of music that came out of the 80's. Electric Blue is one of my favorites by Icehouse and whenever I hear it, I am transported back to my college experience. When John Oates co-wrote Electric Blue with Iva Davies, who would think that the song would still be inspirational nearly four decades later.
Ahí está otra vez... Esa nostalgia dulce, esa tristeza ilusionada, esa melancolía hermosa que solo la música de los 80s es capaz de provocar. Esta música no fue hecha para quitarte la tristeza, es una invitación a disfrutar de la dolorosa felicidad de la ausencia y la añoranza. Hoy no encontrarás nada así. Tampoco lo hubo antes. 80s inmortales❤️
I was in elementary school at the time but yeah I would give up cell phones and social media and go back to simpler times because I remember this period in time and never wanted it to end. I wanna go back!

Lyrics If a boy had a chance A chance with someone like you Are you gonna break his heart? Let him cry for the moon? Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes? I just freeze Everytime you see through me And it's all over you Electric blue On my knees Help me, baby Tell me, what can I do? Electric blue Oh, I had a dream For a moment I believed it was true Oh, I'd have given anything Just to be there with you Are you hiding Somewhere behind those eyes? I just freeze Everytime you see through me And it's all over you Electric blue In too deep Standing here waiting As I'm breaking into Electric blue I can see Can see that it may be just a vision for you Electric blue On my knees Help me, baby Tell me what can I do? Electric blue
2023 and still love this song. This and Crazy were pretty big singles in the UK. The whole Man Of Colours album is fantastic. Iva's voice has such a pure quality to it
This video is officially the most 80s video of all time. Guitar keyboard - check Glorious mullet - check Red leather jacket - check Saxophone solo in silhouette - check Denim on denim - check
Since it's the late 80s, that means no script, no plot no acting. Just guys singing into the camera while women on the set as props stare vacantly into the camera.
Going back is a trap. I wish the good parts of the 80s would replace all the bad today. Specifically music, TV, movies - we can keep the technological improvements, but lets have the simplicity of 80s entertainment.
You blokes down under have great music. The 80s were perfect! Icehouse, Mondo Rock, Cold Chisel, Men at Work and many many more. Greetings from Croatia!
This has got to be the most epic mullet of all time. Magical. And that silhouette with the sax over sunset gradient is as iconic as 1980 imagery gets. Absolute love for this one.
We didn’t have smart devices but we were smart. We didn’t need cyber social network but friendly nature and real friendship. We didn’t have play station but playground. Less tv and more books. Maybe I’m wrong but in my opinion the fruits of all these circumstances was all these talents. Now we are nothing without our modern high-tech. How many of us knows the phone numbers of our family member without help of our smart phone ?😊 we have stopped create talent and that’s why no music is like this anymore!!!

I was in college when this album hit the record stores. My first copy was a cassette tape. This music was so cool 😎! It brings back many good memories. Both of my parents were still alive when this song was released, as well as my brother. Bittersweet…
Wow. What a blast from the past. The 80's were the time of the 'Australian invasion' in music. Great band. I miss those years, the music and the good times with friends and family. Cheers all.
We have been asking FB friends to name my hubby's new electric scooter (it's a blue one) and this song game up in a search; perfect from our era. So our scooter is ELECTRIC BLUE, nickname "Blue"
I have become obsessed with this song. Since rediscovering it a couple of weeks ago I've caught myself watching this video multiple times a day, every day, and singing it, in my head, when I'm not watching it. I have yet to get tired of it.
Fui una chica de los 80, bailando esta joya! Pelo con mucho volumen,gloss en los labios, estrellitas plateadas en una mejilla...moda disco! Y..."no llores porque terminó, sonríe porque sucedió" ❤
The mullet, the keytar, the sax solo. This is the Pinnacle of the beautiful 80s
😂😂80 poster for bands
The beautiful girl in the video was always a must
All it needs is to be playing in a nightclub scene in Miami Vice
Job lot..
Actually I take it back. This wouldn't be in a nightclub scene, it'd be over a soulful introspection montage, like after Crockett couldn't save his girlfriend from dying.
That'd be *peak* 80s.
I love how 80s songs dont end, they just fade away 😂
your comment makes me chuckle because although that effect does sound cheesy, i literally don't want some of these 80s songs to end 😭
Not Madonna's material girl and Make it real by jets but u are right
Yo recuerdo bien el año 1988 cuando electric blue salio la primera vez yo tenia 20 años
I feel like it wouldn't sound right if these kinda songs ended. Just the sound of 80s songs probably won't match an abrupt end in my mind at least
Nah that the nature of the mullet .. but you knew that
I'm 26 years old, from Canada (Québec). I usually listen to music from the 80s/90s/00s. This song just pierced my heart and I'm hooked. Australian new wave tracks are incredibly underrated
Stay electric!
we get Canadian tv shows all the time and I always wonder why we never hear the Canadian accent 💙
Still listening down under
Our GenX crew grew up with the best music. The saxophone really brought a certain uniqueness to this song. God I miss this music. Thank goodness for TH-cam!
This was the year of Australian mega hits. Icehouse, INXS, Midnight Oil... I LOVED it and still do. THIS is music!!

Awe the optimistic 80s spirit can never be recaptured but, fondly remembered 😊
It is beyond crazy how a song can capture the essence of an entire decade. Not every moment of the 80s was 'great' ... nothing is ever perfect ... but that decade was as close to perfect as one could get on this planet.
I agree. Of my 6+ decades of existence, the 80s stand out as the best.
We had no idea at the time .... we were so clueless 🙄
Well, it wasn't perfect if you lived in the Soviet Union.
Well, besides the world being on the brink of nuclear war a couple of times, yeah, pretty great. My memories of the 80's were also very fond, but still millions starved and died in wars.
See the controversy? Nothing has changed since then in that respect.
@Paul Michael Freedman Ed DID say it wasn't perfect.
Living in Australia nuclear war wasn't really a thing.
I like how the saxophone guy is just walking around like... is it time for my number yet?
That happened in a lot of songs...INXS Original Sin for example...
Sax solo guys are too cool to bother playing anything other than the solo!
And when he’s done he just holds the sax over his shoulder like “my work here is done”

I know what you mean. I’m laying in my bed listening and thinking the same thing! I was 16 in 1987.
Youre not the only one , longing for the past
Graduated in 86 and definitely know what you mean
High School Senior almost flunked out. Divorced parents that year, having a kid out of wedlock, brother on drugs signed up be a Marine. Crazy time.

This is arguably the Most '80s song and video ever produced. It has everything--
1. Electronic drums that sound like thunder.
2. Good-looking gap-tooth lead singer with the most magnificent mullet ever.

6. Catchy, feel-good vibe.
7. Chorus that just delightfully sticks in your head.
When this song and video hit MTV, it must have been like the ENTIRE '80s landed at once.
The '80s ruled.
It is certainly all that. Well said. This is one of those songs which I never get tired of. A favourite!
The drums sound big due to the rhythm guitar and especially the bass locked in create a great in the pocket rhythm section.
keytar....nyse.
Man, you're right.
I will agree that the factors you mentioned make it a great video but my choice for most 80s sounding is Everybody Wants to rule the world.. I hear that song and its 1985 again but I think we can agree we both have good tastes in music
What an amazing song! I’m so glad I grew up during this era.
Absolutely!!!!! Songs like this just bring back youthful memories of a time in your life when possibilities seemed endless and horizons stretched forever. Probably the only time in your life you felt true blissful freedom.

I wasn’t even born around the 80s but i can tell it was the coolest decade with the best music and this song proves it 🔥
Holy cow. I'm 12 again listening to this song and dreaming about my crush.
I'm 45 now but love these memories from the 80s!
Takes me back when i was 12 also Rebecca..now im turning 45 and it brings back memories
Me too. I'm 46 now but I clearly remember swooning at all his mulleted glory.

1987 was an incredible year for amazing music and Icehouse was one of the greats.
No doubt
In Doctor Who's words: "In the timestream, 1987 is the station of Cool!"
It really was
From this to Eddie Money to 38 Special it all brings it back.
87 was the year Aerosmith dropped Permanent Vacation and I was 100% hooked.

I wish can go back to the 80 all over again
Yeah that's right...
Yes I was saying the same..increible!!👀👏👏👏
The music of the 80's was the best.❤❤❤
I agree
And I wasn't born when this song came out I was born in 2015
Totalmente de acuerdo. No es la musica de mi generacion pero la amo gracias a mis hermanos.
The 80's Rule!
On my playlist always listen when out on earbuds 😊❤ which is everyday and all 80s songs ❤music crap today😅
I NEVER GET TIRED OFTHIS SONG ITS JUST AMAZING
It gives me chills!
Same
So excited and looking forward to seeing Ice House in concert this Summer at Gibbston Valley, Queenstown ,NZ.
Im stuck in the 80,s and bloody 💜 it! Music of today will never ever come close to the 80's!!
From someone who was there and lived through it; Welcome!
agree
It is because the best musicians and composers after the Mozart/Beethowen/Bach/Chopin troupe decided to reincarnate all at once in the 80's
Yes me too!!
Depends on the genre, but pop will never be the same. Rock and metal are still alive and well.
Ahhh 1987, takes me back to junior high! I appreciate these songs so much more current day, the awesome 80s! ❤
I love how the happiest guy in the band is the drummer!
He still plays with them
Timeless! .. thanks from NZ🎵 👍🇳🇿
To be young, so happy and free-spirited in the 80s... that is the spirit of Electric Blue!
I agree!
Such an underrated song, definitely one of my 80's favorites
Awwww the memories....
If someone ever invents a time machine i would go back to the eighties and stay there!
Make sure to bring a sports almanac
walter zeballos ....if you think this is funny, looks at the guitar player in the song 'send me an angel'
I am sorry, I responded to the WRONG message. I was talking about how enthusiastic they seem.

Lyrics
If a boy had a chance
A chance with someone like you
Are you gonna break his heart?
Let him cry for the moon?
Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze
Everytime you see through me
And it's all over you
Electric blue
On my knees
Help me, baby
Tell me, what can I do?
Electric blue
Oh, I had a dream
For a moment I believed it was true
Oh, I'd have given anything
Just to be there with you
Are you hiding
Somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze
Everytime you see through me
And it's all over you
Electric blue
In too deep
Standing here waiting
As I'm breaking into
Electric blue
I can see
Can see that it may be just a vision for you
Electric blue
On my knees
Help me, baby
Tell me what can I do?
Electric blue
It's actually "Can see that it may be just a vision OF you".

If nothing else --- you always have to love the 80s sax solos. It was a player's golden age in Rock.
Facts! Soulful!
Yes,also Foreigners, Urgent
Yes, the sax was something that made many of the amazing songs of the decade
You have to admit the saxophone in this and ACDC with the bagpipes
You Nailed it Jim, so many people miss it. The Sax was so instrumental in the Eighties, it lit up the songs so magnificently. Rock on Eighties.

Perfect 80’s song. Does everything you need it to without trying to do too much.
If I had one wish, it would be to wake up tomorrow morning and find myself returned to the 80's...
synthwave friends! Synthwave. Recapture the 80s!
Amen
Going back is a trap. I wish the good parts of the 80s would replace all the bad today. Specifically music, TV, movies - we can keep the technological improvements, but lets have the simplicity of 80s entertainment.
SAME!!
You and me both! Best times of my life.
You blokes down under have great music. The 80s were perfect! Icehouse, Mondo Rock, Cold Chisel, Men at Work and many many more. Greetings from Croatia!
The 80s we're the best year's of my life. I'm looking for the rest button.
This has got to be the most epic mullet of all time. Magical. And that silhouette with the sax over sunset gradient is as iconic as 1980 imagery gets. Absolute love for this one.
I was just thinking the same thing when I saw that sunset. I don't know what it is but it screams 80s.
Step aside, Billy Ray Cyrus, Iva Davies is the king of the mullet.
There is no music like this anymore
So sadly true
That's right and the 80s was awesome for the music n movies ,clothes etc. A great time to grow up in.
Such nostalgia 😔 80's kid for life!
We didn’t have smart devices but we were smart. We didn’t need cyber social network but friendly nature and real friendship. We didn’t have play station but playground. Less tv and more books. Maybe I’m wrong but in my opinion the fruits of all these circumstances was all these talents. Now we are nothing without our modern high-tech. How many of us knows the phone numbers of our family member without help of our smart phone ?😊 we have stopped create talent and that’s why no music is like this anymore!!!
It gets classed as "too cheesy" but I'd rather listen to the "cheese of the 80s" than the "shite of today"
The 80’s rock was the best ever
If a boy had a chance
A chance with someone like you
Are you gonna break his heart?
Let him cry for the moon?
Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze (I just freeze)
Every time you see through me (see through)
And it's all over you
Electric blue
On my knees (on my knees)
Help me, baby (help me)
Tell me, what can I do?
Electric blue
Oh, I had a dream
For a moment I believed it was true
Oh, I'd have given anything
Just to be there with you
Are you hiding
Somewhere behind those eyes?
I just freeze (I just freeze)
Every time you see through me (see through)
And it's all over you
Electric blue
In too deep (in too deep)
Standing here waiting
As I'm breaking into (ooh)
Electric blue
I can see (I can see)
Can see that it may be just a vision for you
Electric blue
On my knees (on my knees)
Help me, baby (help me)
Tell me what can I do?
Electric blue
Help me baby
Yeah, yeah
Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes? (behind those eyes)
I just freeze every time you see through me (see through)
And it's all over you
Electric blue
In too deep (in too deep)
Standing here waiting as I'm breaking in two (in two)
Electric blue
I can see (I can see)
Can see that it may be just a vision of you (of you)
Electric blue
On my knees (on my knees) (what can)
Help me baby tell me what can I do? (I do)
Electric blue (behind those eyes)
I just freeze every time you see through me
And it's all over you
Electric blue
In too deep (in too deep) (I'm)
Standing here waiting as I'm breaking in two (in two)
Electric blue
I can see (I can see)
Can see that it may be just a vision of you
Electric blue
On my knees (on my knees) (what can)
Help me baby tell me what can I do? (I do)
Electric blue
Electric blue
Electric blue
Electric blue
Thanks ❤
OMG
This is not music! This is heaven 🎼
The musicians in this music video look so genuinely happy!
New Wave forever 😃
80's best music era
This song epitomizes my teenage years all within the 80s. Will music ever be this good again?…….
Same here.
There's a romantic magic to 80s love songs that can't be replicated
This dude is not only a singer, he composed all the music for the movie ‘Master And Commander’ legit genius.
Do you like this songer better or Down Under?
I love Master and Commander, as well as Icehouse! Never realized they were connected like this!
@@milkynasus7030 Australia has more than 2 songs mate
@@Fitzroyfallz Yes ik, im just comparing these two songs
I think he's also composing for Gladiator 2. He is an amazing film composer.
Great song. 100%
Classic.
I was in college when this album hit the record stores. My first copy was a cassette tape. This music was so cool 😎! It brings back many good memories. Both of my parents were still alive when this song was released, as well as my brother. Bittersweet…
Amen to that.
Muy agridulce, pero bueno. Ojala los hayas disfrutado como a esta cancion!! Saludos bro 🇦🇷🇦🇷
Aw
His voice is so clear and he sings so effortlessly❤
One of my absolute favorite songs from the 80's! ❣️
Class of 87!!
Wow. What a blast from the past. The 80's were the time of the 'Australian invasion' in music. Great band. I miss those years, the music and the good times with friends and family. Cheers all.
I want my mullet back. Hell, I want my HAIR back!
Do it bro..
🤣
😆😆😆
@Ted LS well done good Sir
Yeah Gus, he was just too damn hot with it.
I cant remember what I've gone into a different room for but can remember every single word of this song
Haha!!!! Never a more relatable comment!
We have been asking FB friends to name my hubby's new electric scooter (it's a blue one) and this song game up in a search; perfect from our era. So our scooter is ELECTRIC BLUE, nickname "Blue"
One of the best from the 80's
Yes a great song👍👍
This is one of the catchiest songs ever made.
2023, this song has stood the test of time. Brilliant
Agree! Huge feather in the cap of John Oates. I think it's the only success he had away from Hall.
This wonderful song lives on forever, in our hearts and souls ❤
I have become obsessed with this song. Since rediscovering it a couple of weeks ago I've caught myself watching this video multiple times a day, every day, and singing it, in my head, when I'm not watching it. I have yet to get tired of it.
Same. It’s impossibly catchy.
@@andyscott5277 It invades your mind, in a good way. :)
@@LibraGamesUnlimited indeed, a welcomed ear worm 😅
@@andyscott5277 Very much so.
Ever had a song stuck in your head ? Well, this it. I watch this every day.....💜
This song also gets stuck in my head. It always takes me back to the spring of 1988.
One of the best songs of the 80s.
Yes 🇦🇷🤗
I,m 64 and i still love this song.
This is back when music was magical
80s music was saxy. The saxophone used so much back then really made so many songs epic. Men & women having fantastic hair also helped.
That is Totally the Hit the Nail on the Head. The saxophone so made the eighties it goes too unnoticed. One more reason the eighties are so Great.
I agree. 80s music wasn't complete without the saxophone. Music from the decade stood out from the other eras.
synthwave friends! Synthwave. Recapture the 80s!
And who knew that Barrack Obama played the keyboard back in the 80s. The keyboardist looks just like him. Cool.
I was 14 years and i still love. Electric blue what' a song i love the 80s forever❤
what a great video from the 80s
I have loved this song for so long, it feels like it has always existed.
I was 8 and fell in love with icehouse those were the old days. Best mullet on this earth. Namaste.
Man I'm just playing this song over and over and over...
Yeah, that's its Magic!....
That song makes me go way back in my mind. I miss my childhood so much. I miss my daddy. I love you daddy.
just adore this song! 36 years later and I still listen to it and love it more and more and more and appreciate these talents guys.
Definition of a Mullet. Business in the front, Party in the back.
Serious LOL!!! I'm never forgetting that one.
That was so good!!
80's; party in the front and party in the back.
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
Fui una chica de los 80, bailando esta joya! Pelo con mucho volumen,gloss en los labios, estrellitas plateadas en una mejilla...moda disco! Y..."no llores porque terminó, sonríe porque sucedió" ❤
When a time machine is invented, and I am able to go back to the '80s, I want this song playing when I arrive.
