Martin Gore often talks about how Depeche Mode were told to hold chickens and other embarrassing things to do on video to make them look silly and to see how far they could be pushed. Maybe Andy thought it would be fun to use the same tactics with Vince. 😁
right, and he started depeche mode, on top of it all. not sure if he's flamed out or not, but he's a decent artist either way. *as for me, i love the duran duran look* , women only for me ! ! ! jajaja
My mother was very ill when this came out and a massive Erasure fan, so to cheer her up I dragged up and did a whole routine, well, well out my comfort zone!
What people forget is how this EP not only got Erasure to Number 1 in the charts in the UK in June 1992 but also spearheaded the Renaissance of Abba. Not long after this charted ABBA Gold was released and Erasure’s influence on this renaissance was mentioned. The rest is history as they say.
Thats lovely peter,your wife is blessed to be so cherished.i heard sad news today and wanted to see something happy.hope you and your wife are having a nice evening.from dublin,ireland.
HOW ARE LITERALLY NONE OF YOU ACKNOWLEDGING THE RANDOM RAGGAE RAP VERSE?!?!? DID YOU ALL STOP LIKE 2 MINUTES IN?!?!? THIS IS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE THING I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MONTHS AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT!
Yeah - I hate it. It totally disrupts the flow of the song. And the woman doing the rap is just really overdoing it. It's like she's SCREAMING. I'm sure she isn't intentionally trying to sabotage the song, but I think it definitely undercuts it. I wish they would take it out.
Erasure don’t get the credit they deserve. They are a top, top duo and their music offers a broad selection, to suit your mood I would think. They make you dance, feel great and even if you’re feeling low, raise your spirit. There’s even an odd ballad chucked in. Erasure , your versatile band! Well done Vince & Andy 👏🏼👍🏼😉
They're so excellent. Oh L'Amour will always remind me of summer time pool parties and innocent fun...summer in the 1980s when I was a kid. I feel sad to think that there are people who don't have great childhood memories to return to or who cynically, inappropriately and bitterly bring politics and the greater world's misery into a simple conversation filled with gratitude for the small and lovely universe that a suburban immigrant child enjoyed. I'm terrifically grateful and hope everybody reading this in the future has some simple sensory triggers that remind them of how unbelievably lovely their life is or definitely WAS at certain times in the past. What treasure. xo
Erasure has some impressive talent They consistently made incredibly catchy songs, and then redid a ton of already catchy songs and just kicked it into overdrive
the world can not thank those two enough for coming up with this brilliant EP... who knows what would have to ABBA Gold.... of course there was Muriel's Wedding and Priscilla around the same time... all in all they kickstarted the revival that keeps on going forever... YEAH
Unbelievable that this song/video is over 30 years old and at 67 y/o still listened/dance to this song to stay in shape and hopefully make it to 100 and still stand strong/dance to it.
Yes, you're right, and they dont even look like swedes... (and btw, its nice to listen to this, but watching is only for eh...fun or something. Male here....).
Still 30 years later I am still scrathing my head that serious Vince agreed to do this video. Anyway it' a winner and I 'love how the not only the song but also the video is a homage although tongue in cheek , to ABBA.
ABBA needs to buy these guys a pint. In the eighties ABBA had gone right out of fashion, to the extent that you were scared to listen to them, although i always loved them. Even the grannies had ditched them. Erasure were a seriously cool late eighties duo with the ledgendry vince clark at the musical helm. I remember first hearing this on the radio around 91. I Could not believe my ears, abba had been resurrected, not only that but far stronger than they ever were. The erasure ep got to no1 in the Uk, and for abba the rest is history.
This is one of the best and funniest, most committed homage covers I've seen, right up there with "You Spin Me Right Round (Like a Record)" by Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon.
I think this is one of my favorite videos, if only because its so fun and clearly they are having so much fun. Vince is often serious looking in the videos but not this one!!
Para la época que salió, no me daba cuenta que eran ellos personalizados...se ven muy bien. Hoy cualquiera hace vídeos así pero erasure fueron pioneros mezclando arte, ingenuo, humor y buen gusto...con el resultado que por su profesionalismo han perdurado en el tiempo.
coincido contigo, pero no olvides que primero salió el video de Queen!!! también fue un hito y un parte aguas en la música y la sociedad, Queen, de los pioneros
Me encanta , me encanta , cuando la pasaban en los 90s siempre gritaba de la emoción nada mas de escucharla y ahora todavía me dan ganas Whoooou hermosa canción la amó
We were in the middle of the War - Yugoslavia, and I was dancing with this hit with my neighbor in the "breaks" of not being attacked, or boomed . It stuck in my mind how we, then the 10 years old were perceiving Abba. Now we of course have another cultural trend. So, gen Z- as a millennium I do understand you, but always firstly search where the original beat /music/meaning comes from. Research is the key to understand the history of the decade. Anyhow, this video was a bombshell in my time, and great support to many communities :D
It's a wonderful interpretation and revival of ABBA's music with a version of their own, followed by beautifully packed electronic sounds and fusions. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
TH-cam rabbit hole indeed. Though I found my way here after starting from this,... and if you like Abba, it is worth a listen to. As is his whole channel, one of the best acapellaists... acapellists... uh... whatever you call it that I've yet seen th-cam.com/video/yR9RSHWpa-o/w-d-xo.html
in 1987 as a young adult, i joined the army, carrying my love of 80's music with me. Shortly after that I deployed to Bosnia and of course I took most of my music with me. The ABBA Esque album was front and centre of what i was listening to at the time and I always thought it was the best!.. there's not many albums that stand the test of time, but this.. THIS.. this is one of them. Absolutely outstanding interpretation and much loved! I love to hate you :)
God, I love these guys. Watching this from my wee home in the Scottish highlands where it’s cold and wet - watching music videos from my youth cheering me up👍🏻❤️🏴
the beauty of music in the 80s and 90s, is the videos were peak wackiness. this would have never happened with a group, from the two thousands or later, too many people worried about what people think of them. i love this song so much, because of the way it's totally nuts on its own.
Amé este vídeo y me encantó el humor y la buena onda que le ponen. Adoro a Erasure y es un gusto para mí que hasta a mi pequeña hija también le guste. Saludos desde Perú.
@@darielgames9811 Yes, that's the fate of cover versions. People like them better because they bring more modern and innovative vibe, that the new listeners appreciate more than the 70's original version. Happens to almost every cover version of an oldie hit! That's why artists do them, as an homage and also to bring these gem back from history into current times and give them a new shiny clothes and makeup. Like here literally! LOL!
![Pet Shop Boys - Always on my mind (Official Video) [4k Upgrade]](/img/n.gif)
How was this their only number one hit?Haven’t people heard Chains of Love or Respect??
A Little Respect is prolly one of my all time favorite celebratory, anthemic pop songs. (But it's also angsty and sad.)
And what about of oh lamour and always
and ALWAYS
And Love to hate you!
Ship of fools 🔥
Vince was possibly the best sport in the history of pop music 😂 He let Andy put him in so many crazy outfits. Freaking love Erasure.
Martin Gore often talks about how Depeche Mode were told to hold chickens and other embarrassing things to do on video to make them look silly and to see how far they could be pushed. Maybe Andy thought it would be fun to use the same tactics with Vince. 😁
Ya know in TikTok dance challenges there's always one guy doing it to not let down his buddy, that's Vince in this! and it's adorable 🥰
All the straight guys in synth pop bands with a gay frontman lol. Erasure, Dead or Alive and Culture Club.
right, and he started depeche mode, on top of it all. not sure if he's flamed out or not, but he's a decent artist either way.
*as for me, i love the duran duran look* , women only for me ! ! ! jajaja
@@Chelaxim Pete Burns from Dead or Alive wasn't 100% gay
My mother was very ill when this came out and a massive Erasure fan, so to cheer her up I dragged up and did a whole routine, well, well out my comfort zone!
Hope your mum is better
You’re a good son
That's so beautiful that you did that, made me tear up 💜
Magnificent!!! What a son you are! XXX
Haha legend 👍
Abba-esque has earned a permanent spot among my favourite EP's
This is the best Abba cover ever, no questions.
Hands down 100% agree
Agreed.. but this Rob'N'Raz Dancing Queen is a very close number two: th-cam.com/video/sPUnPidqn84/w-d-xo.html
What do you say? This is not abba?
@@Nd-sy2on The song was by Abba, but it is performed by Erasure here.
@@bobbbxxx
Erasure were Agnetha and Frida's male alter egos. They're the same people.
OMG Vince as Agnetha is simply killer!
What people forget is how this EP not only got Erasure to Number 1 in the charts in the UK in June 1992 but also spearheaded the Renaissance of Abba. Not long after this charted ABBA Gold was released and Erasure’s influence on this renaissance was mentioned.
The rest is history as they say.
I still have CD single.. Lol..
Wow!! Din't know that. Now I 'm loving this cover version even more than before!
yuck, abba should have stayed buried
Não sabia dessa.
Ummmm, I think Muriel's Wedding predated this, and probably did a whole lot for the ABBA revival.
Qué buena versión! ❤😂😊
I remember the release of this in 1992, it was actually the spark that started an Abba revival in the 90’s.
This video wasnt just a piss take on abba...it showed how much of a friendship vince and andy had as a friends..love that.
I'm not gay but I love Erasure music.
You don't have to be .
Music is for everyone, just enjoy it 😊
X2
X2 is same elton john the musuc is great dont important the music gender
Be like vince.
Trust yourself, I your heterossexuality.
Youre gonna lose this need to justify your tastes like That.
Its freeing.
ABBA FOREVER
i fell in love with my wife on this song. still get butterflies for her when i hear this song. 25th years together and still going strong.
Aw that’s beautiful man. May you feel butterflies forever. ♥️
😭😭😭
🦋🦋🦋
I love that!!!
CongradulAtions. In Jesus name.
Dude, same. Heard this song on the radio on our first date in 1996.
Thats lovely peter,your wife is blessed to be so cherished.i heard sad news today and wanted to see something happy.hope you and your wife are having a nice evening.from dublin,ireland.
Respect to Erasure! Vince and Andy are so talented and their music uplifts!
I love how natural Andy is in drag. Meanwhile, Vince is like totally struggling but being a good sport anyway.
Happy 60th Birthday, Andy!
I saw the video again after 32 years... simply brilliant! 🥰👌👍👍👍
Yes Sir
Estou vendo 30 após ✌️
This is actually the first time I've ever seen the video! Listened to it all the time in the 90s!
HOW ARE LITERALLY NONE OF YOU ACKNOWLEDGING THE RANDOM RAGGAE RAP VERSE?!?!? DID YOU ALL STOP LIKE 2 MINUTES IN?!?!? THIS IS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE THING I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MONTHS AND NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT IT!
90s had those in every other song.
raggae rap = 🤮🤮🤮
MC Kinky
yes it was the trend in the 90's to have a reggae rap verse in songs......
Yeah - I hate it. It totally disrupts the flow of the song. And the woman doing the rap is just really overdoing it. It's like she's SCREAMING. I'm sure she isn't intentionally trying to sabotage the song, but I think it definitely undercuts it. I wish they would take it out.
Vince Clarke's 100% commitment is everything! 😁
♥
He looks like he's secretly loving every minute of it 😆
Indeed. That's a really good point. They are an amazing band and they really went for it in this video. It's so much fun.
especially how grumpy he looks in every other video :D
He definitely got in touch with his feminine side
Simply brilliant
best ABBA cover...
Andy looks like he's living his dream in this. I understand he is a massive ABBA fan... obviously
Love Erasure, one of the best Electronic bands of all time. Fab cover
Such a great uplifting song even in 2024.
Erasure is a legit pleasure to listen to.
ABBA + Erasure = mejor, imposible!!!
Andy and Vince are the best Drag Queens
What a fantastic duo. Vince seems so shy, then he surprises me. Andy never surprises but always delights me.
This song (and album) never gets old!
Erasure don’t get the credit they deserve. They are a top, top duo and their music offers a broad selection, to suit your mood I would think. They make you dance, feel great and even if you’re feeling low, raise your spirit. There’s even an odd ballad chucked in. Erasure , your versatile band! Well done Vince & Andy 👏🏼👍🏼😉

Another lonely Christmas.

He looks so much like Frieda. It brings back many memories of Abba.
Excelente versión. Erasure, lo máximo. Cuando era adolescente su música me hacía vivir.
Erasure, such a great group--
This is wabba
Unbelievable that this song/video is over 30 years old and at 67 y/o still listened/dance to this song to stay in shape and hopefully make it to 100 and still stand strong/dance to it.
Omg, I miss the 90's
musicao Boa memo😘🌻🌻✌
These guys are amazing and I can still listen to their music to this day and groove on.
@@Phil-mg2wtэто не их музыка, а группы АВВА😂
They're actually pretty! I bet Agnetha and Frida had a good laugh over this! 🤣
yeah
Bet making this video was good fun
редкий случай, когда кавер... не могу сказать лучше! Лучше АББА невозможно. Но что-то новое! Спасибо
My all-time favourite Erasure video, by a mile! Also happens to be a brilliant cover of one of my favourite ABBA classics - what's not to love?
@@peeder1417 yes, agreed, it’s a huge spoiler.
Erasure - MASTERS of synth pop
Thank you Erasure so much for your music! Have tons of great memories with many of your songs as soundtracks. You made my youth years happy. 💞
Oh, just glorious! Loved it as 17-year-old, love it all the more at late 40-something.
😘
Bet they had enormous fun and good times making this.
Annifried and Agnetha have changed so much since I last saw them !
:) you mean here? yep.. more "gender " :D
Time does that to most people.
Yes, you're right, and they dont even look like swedes...
(and btw, its nice to listen to this, but watching is only for eh...fun or something. Male here....).
a time when being gay wasn't the reason people were famous, talent was more important
gotta love these guys sense of humour ....hysterical yet a great cover too ....its win win for everyone
The resemblance is UNCANNY
This video is hilarious. How have I never seen it before?
Really? I danced to this at school discoteques.
Same, i just found out about it today at the ABBA's official Facebook fan group
Эта песня, в исполнении Erasure, доставляет мне море эмоций, смеха и настроения.
интер.что сама АББА думала про это ))
Мальчишки отожгли, согласна)))
Это самая гейская ТС! Но сделано очень круто. Пара-па-пам)) Очень круто слелали.
Viva Erasure 4 his funky way !!!🙈🙉🙊
the start of the ABBA revival....thank you erasure
