@Scotty* Bucks It could be about just about anything. Politics, a relationship gone wrong, etc.. Depends on the person listening too it. What they take from it. The lyrics honestly don't do much for me, but the music itself, I will listen too all day long. Too each their own I guess.
@@ScottM-mds1hb Yes, the 80's were go good that music in the 90's took a giant leap down the cliff. Imagine, The Fixx compared to Bare Naked Ladies. Wow, the 90's was horrible. I'm sorry if I spoiled someone's day with that comparison. Wow, I remember hearing this for the first time in 1983 in my doctor's office. Good times.
Yeah, I was there too, once you've lived like that, nothing compares, my granddaughter told me when she was 13, "how did you not go crazy from sensory overload with all this great music coming out every week?"
Dude, the 80's decade is 40 years back now, it gives me goosebumps to think about it. Doesn't matter how far we're getting from it, my soul will always be there!
At the beginnings of MTV they played some variety, and I remember DEVO, Bow Wow Wow, Public Image Ltd., the Art of Noise, Duran Duran, and Blondie, and Missing Persons were mixed in there along with pop and 80s metal, and I was GLUED to the television waiting through videos I didn’t love to be there for when a band I liked came on. I was in 1st & 2nd grade, and Lisa Lisa (Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam) and Joan Jet & Annabella Lwin were my first crushes.
Rapscallion, although I'm ten years behind you; I'm right there with you. I was stationed in Landstuhl Germany when this came out. Great time to be young, wasn't it?
If I had one wish, it would be to go back to the 80's. It was a blessing to have lived through that decade. I hope someone comes up with a time machine soon.
I remember driving around in my '69 Falcon with this album blasting out of the stereo cassette deck. The sound system was worth more than the car! I was 18 years old and didn't have a care in the world. That would change in a couple of years, but hearing this song takes me back to that wonderful time!
Had a ‘68 mustang with the pioneer super tuner. House speakers in the trunk, amp sunder the passenger seat. Crazy that our old cars are now worth more than our parents paid for their houses
What I liked about The Fixx is that their songs usually concerned political issues, nuclear war etc. If the music industry did not suck like it does now imagine the issues that would have been made into hit songs....
Most never delved that deep into songs as we usually only heard them on FM Radio or the occasional MTV video after cable came into town. Without seeing the person, we couldn't always make out all the words....back in the day.
Back in the day, I could only work out a simple version of that bass line. Although it was close enough to keep the correct beat in cover bands, it was only in recent years that I found tutorials for the intricate original line.
MTV was indescribable when it first came out. I feel fortunate to have lived through a time where it existed in its best form. What happened later on was ultimate BS. It was so exciting to see a new video and the thing was, videos weren't readily available like they are now due to the internet so ...I mean, I love TH-cam and it's convenience but that magic can never be replicated.
Yep. Waiting all day listening to the radio for that song you wanted to come on, rushing to hit the record button on the cassette deck, the rush you felt when you finally got that song on tape so you could play it whenever you wanted... If you'd asked me then whether I would prefer having any song in history at my fingertips, I would have said yes. But now we know better.
The same rules apply. Instant fame is just as it was, but now the talent bar is lower, and with it, the relevancy of that fame is far shorter. Unless you're an industry plant, of course!
You're right. The 80s were the pinnacle of popular music evolution: the 90s were good overall, but there were subtle signs of rot that are easy to see today in hindsight. And the 00s, the 10s? Don't get me started.
You guys are all referring to your own ages, since the song is not that old. Effed up band, great music. I wonder if they are all living in Saudi Arabia now and regretting life choices or if they got smart. Just as a matter of interest, cause and effect is contrary to a certain religion and yet you have this song.
Look, I'm 61 i remember and love this song. I was an undergraduate at Loyola University of Chicago drinking long island ice teas at Arnies on Rush street.
Huh, not underrated at all? In 1983 I was 14, and this was one of many songs blasting in the arcade I hung out at. So many great memories of the summer of 83. This song is timeless.❤
It's more like they are underrated now, they were at the top back then with numerous hits. Now I'm surprised they aren't as famous still as some of the bands back then and they still are awesome performers.
I was taking my 13 yr old son to baseball practice a few weeks ago and this song came on. I turned it up and he gave me that look. By the end, he was bobbing his head and feeling it. One Thing Leads to Another is a bad jam!
Every so often I need to listen to the Fixx to remind myself that the early 80's had some of the most underrated and precious music in all of history, and it was ours. Those of us who loved it are shared possessors of something brilliant and beautiful in the only wrinkle in time which it could have existed. And we get to know and remember that we lived during a time before the world went completely insane.
Chuck Wasson This bass line kills me. Back when music actually made you walk differently cause you were badass just for knowing it came out not to mention actually walking and listening to it. I can never decide whether this bass line, the one in Dream Into Action by Howard Jones or the one in All She Wants to Do is Dance made me feel like the coolest chick in my clique but I had a shit eating ear to ear trollface grin whenever any of the three came on, I can tell you that.
Me, I am as I'm cleaning the flood residue out of my apartment from a flash flood two days ago at Goodwell, OK. It's one of the few things that helps put a smile on my face.
@@Jerseymatt1865 I'm still mopping up mud residue on my floors. We got 11 inches of rain in four hours which isn't common for the western half of the High Plains region. The 11 inches we got in that one storm would be spread out over a year in normal times or be two years of rain in drought. My car has the windows open to dry it out. Wheat harvest barely started and it's questionable if we will have a wheat harvest which sucks because I work harvest for extra money.
The Fixx great band underrated as hell they should've gotten their place in the rock and roll hall of fame. Just on the fact their music kicks ass. You got my vote. They've earned their place as far as i'm concerned. They're still at it too. Love this song just a real tight jam from beginning to end. I never ever get sick of listening to it. I'm going to play it again.
@John Wadsworth ,More like best thing for them is to NEVER ! make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , the so called Rock n Roll hall of Fame is 90% rap and hip hop artist that place should be sued for false advertising
Synths were recentely invented in the late 70s and weren't integrated into music until the early 80s, so you get this whole new clash of synthetic and organic sounds coalescing together, really, for the first time in mainstream. There's modular synths, but moogs changed the dynamic immediately. You also had punk getting publicity, Michael Jackson. It was truly a time for freedom of speech and expression.
I must be the Oldest Coot looking at You Tube videos of the Fix today... At 63, for this senior's money, this tune was ahead of it's time, & is still great lyrically & musically. 👍
Agreed! MTV is so horrendous that Martha Quinn, Alan Hunter and JJ Jackson must be crying. MTV = Marketing TV to sell teens stupid crap Never forgive them for Jersey Shore
Im only 36 but I grew up listening to songs like this because of my parents. I love 80s music. 70s and 80s had the best music ever and its all I listen to 90% of the time
When this song was a hit, I had a friend who owned a car stereo store. He invited me to sit in his 77 Monte Carlo, popped in the cassette, and played this song. It was the first car stereo I'd ever heard with a subwoofer. In 30 seconds I was about to throw up from the sound pressure. I've tried to recapture that feeling ever since.
+paradisecityX0 Doesn't compare to MTV when it actually showed music...DIVERSE styles of music. The 80s were a party, the 90s were about songs wallowing in depression. If you want to talk about childrens entertainment...Transformers beat the shit out of Power Rangers. Star Blazers destroyed all. Golden age of playstation?...you're ignoring the golden age of coin op arcades and the original home video game consoles. You had to live in that time to understand. 80s were the last decade of 'hometown cops' before we turned into a police state. We could basically do what we wanted as long as we weren't harming anyone. 90s blew chunks...and each decade has been declining since.
The music of the Fixx will never go out of style. This track hit the US hot 100 and peacked at 4 in September 1983. I was a toddler at the time. Now at age 41 this song is still fresh and clear. How fun.
Wow thanks for your facts flashback my friend! I do remember that and that was the beginning of my Senior year in high school. The Class of 1983! So so long ago but can remember it like it was yesterday! Miss the 80's!
I was in first grade during this time and I can still hear this music in my ear, knowing where I was, what I was going through, how the world was, it was just 'that time'... what's funny is you knew that time was special while you were living in it.
Love 80s music. All of it, we used to love rock, pop, new wave and everything in between, but mostly this type of music, The Fixx, and bands that we enjoyed a lot, danced to it and brings back incredible memories. Great music and it is timeless.
The 80s. Hot summer nights. The unique bands. MTV videos, burning rubber in dads big Chrysler, Hormones boiling. What a decade. No decade will ever come close.
I had to come watch this because this song was playing on the radio at the local convenience store when I stopped by this evening. This was my favorite song in late 1983, though I can't really explain why. I was a 17-year-old metalhead, into Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. There's just something about this song. It has such a great groove to it. That dead-simple (but grooving) drum part, combined with a captivating bass line (although, interestingly, The Fixx didn't actually have a bass player at the time, so the part was performed by some studio cat). I liked this song enough that I bought the album (Reach the Beach), and ... I still love that album. It really was a good album.
+Rik Spanks Geez, now I need to buy the album from the iTunes Store. I owned the album on vinyl, but it was stolen (along with the rest of my vinyl) when my storage unit got jacked a couple years ago, but in any case I hadn't listened to it in years because I hadn't owned a turntable in years.
+Rik Spanks Okay, I have to correct my statement about this bass line being performed by a studio musician. I remember reading the credits on the album liner and seeing more than one bassist listed, so I must have assumed "studio musicians". It turns out that the bassist who played on this song, (and on "Saved by Zero"), Alfie Agius, quit the band during the recording of the album, and was replaced by Dan K. Brown. My bad.
I have to admit the only thing the compares to MTV, in its' early days, is TH-cam.Where else can you check out a great song with a great video with a million friends ?
As an 18 y.o. I first heard this song in Dec. 1983 on the radio in Melbourne, Australia. I liked it a lot then and still do. Classic, boppy 80's music. Excellent. 😎 Adam Neira Founder of World Peace 2050 Founded in April 2000 Paris - Jerusalem - Melbourne
So did I , But my music was the 70s ! I loved Aerosmith, Grand Funk, The Rolling Stones and Foreigner. the 80s was the beginning of Punk and Rap, Boy bands and Spanish girls. Spare me.
Me and my friends have a agreement that if ANY song from GTA Vice City comes on the radio you MUST listen to the entire song no matter where you are and it has to be FULL VOLUME LOL. Ilove it!
This is one of those great tracks you can play while driving on a warm day, in the club, at home cleaning ..as a baby at this time , I can only imagine when this song hit the airwaves

I have this album on my phone.
after all these years, this song still kicks ass !
Saw The Fixx open for the Police back in the day. Awesome show.
two of the best bands
Dude, I just saw them 3 months ago at the pedulo in Derry NH.
All original band. A small venue but a great show.
The Fixx great band underrated as hell they should've gotten their place in the rock and roll hall of fame. Just on the fact their music kicks ass. You got my vote. They've earned their place as far as i'm concerned. They're still at it too. Love this song just a real tight jam from beginning to end. I never ever get sick of listening to it. I'm going to play it again.
I saw them three times!
@John Wadsworth ,More like best thing for them is to NEVER ! make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , the so called Rock n Roll hall of Fame is 90% rap and hip hop artist that place should be sued for false advertising
Agree. Stand out band have Pandora station. Stand or fall full version is great
John Wadsworth I agree with youb 100%."WAY"underrated.One of my favorites.
Deeper and Deeper plays in the end crisis for Caddyshack. My favorite by them!
The 80s had the most unimaginable different types of music unlike the few boring types of music today.
this is only true if you only listen to the radio, but there is more music than ever now. Music always continues to grow.
Don't expose your ignorance like that, much better to keep quiet and not be seen as a fool, or just the lazy music fan you are.
What is Radio?
Right! Metal, Madonna, Huey Lewis and the Fixx!
Synths were recentely invented in the late 70s and weren't integrated into music until the early 80s, so you get this whole new clash of synthetic and organic sounds coalescing together, really, for the first time in mainstream. There's modular synths, but moogs changed the dynamic immediately. You also had punk getting publicity, Michael Jackson. It was truly a time for freedom of speech and expression.
I must be the Oldest Coot looking at You Tube videos of the Fix today... At 63, for this senior's money, this tune was ahead of it's time, & is still great lyrically & musically. 👍
I was already an Old Coot when this came out, now I'm 72. You miss the 1980s? I miss the 1960s LOL.
Nah, I'm here too!, I remember the 80's and listening to all the great music!.
I got into trouble in my Marines barracks for jamming this too loud back in 82. Still jamming to it!
I want my MTV (back)!
Agreed!
MTV is so horrendous that Martha Quinn, Alan Hunter and JJ Jackson must be crying.
MTV = Marketing TV to sell teens stupid crap
Never forgive them for Jersey Shore
+jamessrq I thought JJ was dead...
Right.
Remember when the M stood for music?
I want my MTV too.
Im only 36 but I grew up listening to songs like this because of my parents. I love 80s music.
70s and 80s had the best music ever and its all I listen to 90% of the time
When this song was a hit, I had a friend who owned a car stereo store. He invited me to sit in his 77 Monte Carlo, popped in the cassette, and played this song. It was the first car stereo I'd ever heard with a subwoofer. In 30 seconds I was about to throw up from the sound pressure. I've tried to recapture that feeling ever since.
Exactly. This song taught me to JAM!
😂
I will NOT act like I'm not impressed!😎
Love this
🤣😂🤣
I was 27, now I’m 68
One birthday leads to another!!!!!!
Nothing beats the 80's.....nothing
+Leo Maysonet 60s....and I graduated from High School in 1986, so no unfair bias here.
+Leo Maysonet
The 90s does
+paradisecityX0 God, the 90s were LAME for music...not even remotely comparable to the 60s, 70s and 80s
krelbar The highlight of gangsta rap, the Disney Renaissance, the original Power Rangers, the Attitude Era & the golden age of Playstation, etc.
+paradisecityX0 Doesn't compare to MTV when it actually showed music...DIVERSE styles of music.
The 80s were a party, the 90s were about songs wallowing in depression.
If you want to talk about childrens entertainment...Transformers beat the shit out of Power Rangers. Star Blazers destroyed all.
Golden age of playstation?...you're ignoring the golden age of coin op arcades and the original home video game consoles. You had to live in that time to understand.
80s were the last decade of 'hometown cops' before we turned into a police state. We could basically do what we wanted as long as we weren't harming anyone.
90s blew chunks...and each decade has been declining since.
Remember watching this stuff for hours on MTV? Being a teen in the 80s was peak awesomeness.
Dam that bass player is a beast!
Going to see them in New Hampshire in November.
This bass line for this song is addictive. As good as any rap or R&B bass groove I've ever heard. If you can't cut a rug to this you just can't dance.
Exactly 💯. The baseline is so great it imo helped with the songs longevity.
Rap steals other bands riff tracks, r and b is ok.
@@Workerbee-zy5nx70s, 80s and 90s R& B is sampled more than any other genre. Truth…
The music of the Fixx will never go out of style. This track hit the US hot 100 and peacked at 4 in September 1983. I was a toddler at the time. Now at age 41 this song is still fresh and clear. How fun.
Wow thanks for your facts flashback my friend! I do remember that and that was the beginning of my Senior year in high school. The Class of 1983! So so long ago but can remember it like it was yesterday! Miss the 80's!
I was in first grade during this time and I can still hear this music in my ear, knowing where I was, what I was going through, how the world was, it was just 'that time'... what's funny is you knew that time was special while you were living in it.
Love 80s music. All of it, we used to love rock, pop, new wave and everything in between, but mostly this type of music, The Fixx, and bands that we enjoyed a lot, danced to it and brings back incredible memories. Great music and it is timeless.
Agree 100%
Mainstream music today is crap compared to the 70"s & 80's
Masterpiece by a classic band. ❤
My mother used to think this song was entitled "One Hand Washes The Other." True story!
Him: what's that new song...I Reap, I Reap, I Sow?"
Her: "umm.. you mean Are We, Are We, Our Selves'"
Him" < (%*^^*@ > "Yeah! That's the one."
Love this song. This was on heavy rotation on MTV.

Nathan B now look at them yo yo’s, that’s the way you do it
Back in the day when MTV was music videos baby.👍🇺🇸
I want my MTV (back)!
Still jamming in 24'Bro.!!!
Good old analog video.
Smooth motion, no pixelization, no colour blocking, no jaggies.
More, please!
This 80's band had a unique sound to move and groove to. Bring back the 80's.
Saw them live seven years ago at a summer concert series in Los Angeles. They still sound cutting edge, clean, funky rifts and synth. Still great.
John White
Really? I'm green with envy
@@prettygalprettycool5113 clever
@@johnwhite2412 wonder how old the fixx members are by now?
@@prettygalprettycool5113 Mr Curnin still sounded big. I was too far away to tell if he was chugging Ensure between songs.
@@johnwhite2412 lol he probably drank it backstage while everyone else was indulging in illicit drugs and premarital sex.
This is one of those songs that you realize the relevance and brilliance ages like a fine wine and is better today than it was back in the day
The 80s. Hot summer nights. The unique bands. MTV videos, burning rubber in dads big Chrysler, Hormones boiling. What a decade. No decade will ever come close.
cruising mall parking lots was our trophy of generations.
Coming home late and not wanting to wash your face and hands........😊
I had to come watch this because this song was playing on the radio at the local convenience store when I stopped by this evening. This was my favorite song in late 1983, though I can't really explain why. I was a 17-year-old metalhead, into Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. There's just something about this song. It has such a great groove to it. That dead-simple (but grooving) drum part, combined with a captivating bass line (although, interestingly, The Fixx didn't actually have a bass player at the time, so the part was performed by some studio cat). I liked this song enough that I bought the album (Reach the Beach), and ... I still love that album. It really was a good album.
+Rik Spanks Geez, now I need to buy the album from the iTunes Store. I owned the album on vinyl, but it was stolen (along with the rest of my vinyl) when my storage unit got jacked a couple years ago, but in any case I hadn't listened to it in years because I hadn't owned a turntable in years.
+Rik Spanks Okay, I have to correct my statement about this bass line being performed by a studio musician. I remember reading the credits on the album liner and seeing more than one bassist listed, so I must have assumed "studio musicians". It turns out that the bassist who played on this song, (and on "Saved by Zero"), Alfie Agius, quit the band during the recording of the album, and was replaced by Dan K. Brown. My bad.
Album? What's an album?? ;)
A CD is still an album.
Heh, yeah, INXS is another band that we headbangers shouldn't have liked, but again, there was just something ...
I was so naive to think it would always be so good. I took it for granted, had I known I would have appreciated it more.
Oh boy little did you know…
Still mesmerized after all these years by whatever that is going on with this dude's chest 😅
You hear that guitar and you just know it’s about to get funky! 😃 Miss the 80s! 😃
Better than this trap music poisoning the air waves these days!
Yep trap is crap
One of the first songs I listened to as a kid that got me hooked on 80's music.
Listen to that bass player though...absolutely massive groove
Saw the fixx last night nov 5th 2023 in Dallas and they were Outstanding!!
Cy Curnin - vocals
Rupert Greenall - keyboards
Jamie West-Oram - guitar
Adam Woods - percussion, drums
Alfie Agius - bass
You forgot me on the Triangle!
This song is 🔥! Amazing lyrics
I remember watching this video on MTV, still one of my favorite videos of all time.
Thokozile Xaba Damn your hot..
I have to admit the only thing the compares to MTV, in its' early days, is TH-cam.Where else can you check out a great song with a great video with a million friends ?
70's & 80's music can never be beaten! Just Awesome! Some 90's is ok!
One thing most certainly does lead to another...genius. The Fixx had some great songs.
Cool, I knew I'd find this Golden Gem of the Past after awhile.
Keeping the 80's alive . There's nothing wrong with Dreaming ...Rock On !!! Carry On !!!
This was the JAM!! My mom came up in the Motown area, but loved this song, & the 80's era as well. All Hail to classic MTV👍
OMG!!!! Why don’t they do what the say... say what they mean... one things leads to another!!! ❤️my 80s
thats what pisses me off when they don't say what they mean or do what they say. 1-5-21
Yes !!
As an 18 y.o. I first heard this song in Dec. 1983 on the radio in Melbourne, Australia. I liked it a lot then and still do. Classic, boppy 80's music. Excellent.

This song is funky as siht!
The bass totally carries this song! One hell of a song!
I turned 18 in 1980. What an awesome decade to be a young man!!!
I was 15. It was a good time. Just remember "You never know what you had until it's gone forever."
So did I , But my music was the 70s ! I loved Aerosmith, Grand Funk, The Rolling Stones and Foreigner. the 80s was the beginning of Punk and Rap, Boy bands and Spanish girls. Spare me.
I was 18 in '81. It was a great time to be alive.
It was a wild time.. fashion.. people.. and the music.. this never gets old
Getting older SUCKS...but the music never gets old to me ❤❤❤❤❤
Me and my friends have a agreement that if ANY song from GTA Vice City comes on the radio you MUST listen to the entire song no matter where you are and it has to be FULL VOLUME LOL. Ilove it!
The Eighties definitely had the best variety of excellent music.
One of the most underrated groups ever!
Funkiest guitar track, ever. Best 80's song.
This is one of those great tracks you can play while driving on a warm day, in the club, at home cleaning ..as a baby at this time , I can only imagine when this song hit the airwaves
💯% just grooves....
48....and still have to stop and listen to this and sing along. What a timeless jam....takes me back to a WAY better time.
Im stuck working with kids that listen to today's "music". I miss the 80s
