I remember back in the day watching an interview with Pet Shop Boys about why they covered this song. They said they felt U2 were a "Vegas act". It's now 2023 and WOW how right they were!!!
Uh uh. PSB wanted to turn a rock song into a disco song thinking rightly it's going to be a hit. Bono took the song as sarcasm but after an explanation f2f, all was well.
Marvelous song! Just listen to the background music....there are so many layers of different tones and sounds. It keeps amazing me! The music video is also fascinating. The high energy and sharp colours just blows right from your screen. Too bad they don't make these kinds of songs anymore. Viva 1991!!😃🌞🌞
Pet Shop Boys versus U2. No contest... the Pet Shop Boys are king ! They've so many iconic songs that it would take an age to list them all. One, and Pride are U2s best, but you could name over 10 timeless classics from the Pet Shop Boys.
I love both artists, but you should revisit U2 some more: With or Without You, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Where the Streets Have No Name, I Will Follow, Pride (In the Name of Love), Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, Mysterious Ways, One, Beautiful Day, Walk on, Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Vertigo, Every Breaking Wave
U2 have won the most amount of Grammys than any band. They are at least in the top 15 - 30 best selling artist of all time and have the 5th highest grossing tour of all time. None of these seem as important as the fact they have stayed relevant for decades releasing music in the 1980s to the 2000s constantly reinventing themselves. Pet Shop Boys might be a good band but they don’t have the anywhere near the level of influence and relevancy as U2.
@@henrydavel1440 grammys don't mean squat. they gave a bunch of grammys to terrible music. they gave one to milli vanilli and they didn't even sing. U2 hasn't made a worthwhile album since "all that you can leave behind" as they've been coasting on their legacy and bono is still a turd.
PSB has made better albums and they've been more consistent as i love their cover of "all the young dudes". U2... they've become this bloated band that does these overblown visuals and coasting on their legacy.
@@thevoid99 I agree that Grammys don’t mean squat (especially when Fergie has more than Celine Dion) but I disagree that “All that you can’t leave behind” was their last great album. I think their last great album and my personal favourite is “How to dismantle an Atomic Bomb”. Other than that I mostly agree with you on all your points.
I'd never heard Fallen Angel before, so just youtubed it and yes I can see how it goes well with this song. Thanks for the recommendation I've now added the Bee Gees Fallen Angel to my song list. 👍
@@toddhunter3137 First time I heard Fallen Angel I found it unique since The Gibbs hadn't done anything like it before or after with the exception of maybe Angel of Mercy, a rare solo song by Maurice Gibb and his daughter Samantha.

Summer of 1991: I was about to turn sixteen and the first video jukebox showed up at my favourite beach bar. I think my now long gone friends still hate me for playing this song at least 10 times per day 🤣
El mejor cover que haya escuchado, realmente unos genios sublimes los de pet shop boys , combinando dos canciones distintas y transformarlas en una rola preciosa y magistral...
Mega mashup ! Not only did Pet Shop Boys combine Bob Crewes 60’s iconic “CTMEOOY” with one of U2’s most brilliantly bombastic stadium raves “WTSHNN” but even managed to incorporate 50’s SoCal car culture tributes and clips from U2’s “The Unforgettable Fire” video , that itself was heavily influenced by Godfrey Reggio’s often copied by never duplicated “Koyaanisqatsi” . Brilliant all around !!!
Such incredible talent to take two iconic songs from other legendary artists and make something still recognisably derivative yet this fresh and original. These guys could have written the book on how to do a good cover. And, as usual with PSB, there's that feeling the song could have been recorded yesterday.
Yo los ecuho desde los 7 Años y mi primer concierto fue a a los 8 años fue eletric y en la actualidad fui a ver a dreamworld y no sé cuál es el mejor eletric o dreamworld 😅
I have watched the original U2 video too many times to count plus the U2 super Bowl performance which is still the best ever. Still enjoyed this reinterpretation by Pet Shop Boys.

Can you believe this was released in 1991?
Feels so fresh and new - nothing dated about it
Timeless
PSB are timeless
It feels old tbh. It’s not bad i love it! But i wouldn’t call it fresh and new.
or in 90?
This was recorded between May and June 1990.
The song is perfect, but the mv feels so dated tbh, all the supermodels and random dancing
one of best covers ever!!
Yep , it's a good one. I rate this cover highly as well
