@@gasser217 Yes, really. If you have to spend money to keep a woman interested, then you're wrong from the get-go. In any case, it's a moronic, throw-away line by a musician not known for clever lyrics. But at least it matches the stupidity of the video.
Smoking that much will kill you early. From SFGate “Although Palmer rejected most of the excesses of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, he was a heavy tobacco user who smoked as many as 60 cigarettes a day.” Rod Serling was worse. The creator of the Twilight Zone smoke 4 packs/day (80 cigarettes), had extreme pain in his fingertips from capillary constriction, and died at age 50.

Yeah. This was the 80's. Lol! MTV ruled the airwaves almost more than the radio (for a few years anyway. When they only played music videos). I actually had the same little black dress with the red belt. Lol! This was always played in the discos. Fun times. What happened in the 80's stays in the 80's. Lol! 😃😎 If you haven't already, you should check out Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel. Fun video. The song is killer too! Came out about the same time.
A good Robert Palmer song was "Some Like It Hot" when he was with the group Power Station in 1984 to 1985. he was the lead with 2 brother guitarists from Duran Duran and the drummer from Chic.
Robert Palmer was like the James Bond of rock-n-roll....British,....cool,...handsome, a sharp dresser & always surrounded by beautiful women!! Oh,...& PS....none of the women were playing instruments!! just for show...
This one is such a fun song. And it's paired as a twin to "Addicted to Love". You'd probably recognize that one, too. Yeah it's about how powerful and beautiful a woman is - but as much as it as about that - it's about being a simp because of it.
Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 - 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He was known for his powerful, soulful voice and sartorial elegance, and for his stylistic explorations, combining soul, funk, jazz, rock, pop, reggae, and blues.( Died at age 54 ).
Robert lead sang in a project called "The Power Station" until they switched singers, but it was at this point in time and it was with 2 members from Duran Duran. John Taylor and Andy Taylor ( not brothers) Check them out, very very late 80's.
Please react to Robert Palmer - "Sailin Shoes, Hey Julia, Sneakin Sally Through The Alley". 3 short songs that kinda blend into one. But they show Robert Palmer's soulful, bluesy earlier side.
Robert Palmer died from a sudden heart attack in a Paris hotel room on 26 September 2003 at age 54. A quiet man in his personal life, Palmer was uninterested in most of the excesses of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, although he was a very heavy tobacco user who smoked as many as 60 cigarettes a day.
I love Robert Palmer. He was an outstanding musician and unique in many ways. He still is a criminally underrated artist. My favorite song of his is "Addicted To Love". P.S.: You both have wonderful voices. Thank you, Asia and BJ❤
I think this and Robert Palmer's other similar videos were a spoof on the ”Maybelline super model clones” of the day back in the 80s... some things don't change much. I've always got a chuckle out of his videos.
Together, you guys both create a "superstar couple". I just love and appreciate all of the enthusiastic energy, sincere thoughtfulness, playful humour and great vibes that you both put into each video. Asia and BJ ... thanks, and keep rockin' the house!
Asia, you'll feel much better once you watch Shania Twain's, 'Man, I Feel like a Woman' (a fellow Canadian) ;) Love the vibe you guys bring to your channel. Love your voice Asia! A big hello from Ontario, Canada!
BJ Asia, you guys are one of my favorite reactors to music. Im not very computer savvy but I had to try and find a way to comment on the robert palmer video. B.J. I love the way you love Asia , comimg from a man . And the way she loves you back. the simple irrissistable video reaction was so funny and authentic. I'm sure I forgot where I was going with this but I'm sure of what I see which is pure love.
Your reaction was fun to watch, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It's also nice to see that you took some meaning out of the video, back in the day we used to talk about the vast army of women that Palmer had in his MV.
I was in the Navy when the song came out. I remember sitting in the barracks clown and the friend of mine came into the room and all he said was oh and ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod. And Dad thank God only his eyes were bulging out. Hahaha
People are going to mention Power Station too. I totally agree with them. It was almost what they call a Super group. It’s when standout artists from other bands decided to get together to do their own thing together. It’s almost always great. Think of 3 or 4 people, each from a band you like and now put them together. That’s what it is. Power Station with Robert Palmer and players who CAN REALLY play! Songs: Some Like it Hot and Bang a Gong are the standouts. Cool band, badass songs.
Robert parmer oooh great voice , great dresser , yes i was a little in love ❤with Robert parmer .you are missed and at times underated . Smooth , cool r i p Robert .
Hey kids love this video back in my day this played on MTV when MTV was videos all day cool your reacting to it love you guys this should be Asia's theme song
Spinoff of Addicted to Love. Written + produced by Robert Palmer. 1987. Ed Martinez on lead guitar. 1 year earlier, he played lead guitar in Higher Love sung by Steve Winwood + Chaka Khan. Live version. See Robert Palmer in David Letterman. Suggested next video: Power Station. Some Like It Hot. RIP Robert Palmer. 🇬🇧
He's great on the mic as well, I mean more than just the singing. He's kinda captivating. There's a great song he does you gotta hear, it's 2 songs in one called Mercy Mercy Me.
The models are dressing and glamour to Robert Palmer videos by adding eye candy and visual distraction to the mix. Try this again in the smoother, more relaxed context of the video I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON. And to get more more muscle and raw power he has a song, DOCTOR, DOCTOR ( BAD CASE OF LOVING YOU ). Or the seductive reworking of the Gap Band single, EARLY IN THE MORNING. It's a video of a live rehearsal as they work out the kinks before the show. His vocals are on point.
This style of video w/ the dancing chics who looked like that were the most recognizable thing about Palmer's music videos. Not all of his vids were like this, but "Addicted To Love" was another one w/ those slickbacked chics w/ red lipstick and miniskirts. That look became an indelible MTV/music video image back then. It's been mimicked in other videos. There was a female singer who had dudes in her vid as a parody. It's imagery that made it into pop culture.
Yes, "she's so fine, there's no telling where the money went" added a note of humor to the whole song. And I love how Robert Palmer had a hard rocking, funky, soulful, nuanced vocal delivery and a very formal personal style. It's very special among rock artists - no big layered hair, no fancy face makeup, no skin tight pants and bare chests. Just a very well groomed front man who can deliver any rock song in a unique way.
Asia got this song. Its a tribute to the power you women got over us poor men. He said he didnt even care where his money went. 😂😂We all been there. Some of us are still there. We just here to worship yall. ✌️❤️ from Ky
A song about respect and female empowerment, (long overdue), and Asia is right, women hold a lot of cards. I think a lot of men admire, and like the company of a powerful women. A cool analysis and reaction from you both 👍👏👏👏 Also, just to add. Relative to the message of this track. It's worthwhile checking out Woman by Little Simz, a female UK /Nigerian rapper fast on the rise. Her music carries strong lyrics, poetic even. Even if you don't react, check her out.
Robert Was A Big Fan Of Marvin Gaye,, He Would Do A Tribute To Him By Combining 2 Of His Songs Together,, ROBERT PALMER "MERCY MERCY ME/I WANT YOU"..R.I.P. MARVIN & ROBERT
Well I like the song the dancers appear to me as sane with their dancing and body language they are simply irresistible. Like the song that so much video.
i have a fun fact for you guys ..... robert palmers other big hit ''ADDICTED TO LOVE '' has similar vibe but all the girls have on guitars .... also if you guys know your late 80s early 90s westcoast hip hop a rapper named ''TONE LOC '' remade robert palmers video addicted to love .... the song was called ''WILD THING''
Asia, I think the models were told to look off-camera like that on purpose, to indicate that they’re “not really into” Robert, they’re supposed to be “aloof”. They’re the kind of girl who gets someone to fall in love just so she can use them, but she doesn’t actually reciprocate the affection… Maybe she’s already looking for someone else who’s richer!
Palmer was the epitome of the 80s male, during the most awesomeist of awesome decades in history. And this song is him singing his praise of the females.
Palmer & UB40 was also a master stroke. Also, Palmers She makes my day, Respect yourself, Bad case of loving you.....oh there are so many. The man was incredible
THIS WAS THE ALL-TIME #1 MOST REQUESTED VIDEO ON MTV & VH-1 ------------THE JAMES BOND OF ROCK & THE PALMER GIRLS ! -----MY FORMER SPOUSE LOVED THIS GUY ! SADLY, HE IS NO LONGER WITH US. RIP, ROBERT PALMER. ------------1986 !! -----------------MJL, 77 Y/O
the song is meant to be a very cool, very rhythmic salute to that moment in time (most all of us has at least one) when we are just totally smitten by another human being (could be man or woman). The spot at 5:27 where they are looking at something: the girls are, as instructed, looking at different cameras, which are purposefully capturing their different facial expressions, and THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE at different places on the video, in the girls independent "spots" as the shots chosen are edited into the video. Got it? The group shots and the independent cameos which appear during the video were all shot during the performance, for effect. Palmers songs and performance are top of the line, and his video directors were award winners.
The back story of this video was interesting. They hired models for the video, and most of them didn't know how to dance. So they just told them move with the beat. Robert did not like it , and was ready to call it quits because of their attitude and inability to dance. If I remember the fact correctly.
“There’s no telling where the money went”
one of the best lines of all time!
"She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went...!?"
Forever one of the truest and most classic lines in music history.
Why? I don't get the point of it.
We all been there. He meant she's so fine he didn't care that she spent his money
@@BoxerRick not all of us a doormats

Sadly we lost Robert Palmer at 54 is was such a cool, suave sophisticated dude. Class.
His hobby was RC model aircraft flying.
I had this fantasy duo in my head, 'cause it seemed like a perfect match: Sade and Robert. Man, that woulda been suavely HOTT!

Yeah. This was the 80's. Lol! MTV ruled the airwaves almost more than the radio (for a few years anyway. When they only played music videos).

I was 18 in 1980 we played hard and partied even harder. 😂😂😂😂
A good Robert Palmer song was "Some Like It Hot" when he was with the group Power Station in 1984 to 1985. he was the lead with 2 brother guitarists from Duran Duran and the drummer from Chic.
The Taylors are not related.
That's a great recommendation!!
Get It On is another great song from Power Station...
RIP robert palmer, the smoothest🤘🤘🤘
AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC WITH A GREAT MESSAGE,, ROBERT PALMER "EVERY KINDA PEOPLE"
No one has ever been smoother than Robert Palmer
What about Robert plant? He’s pretty smooth.
Chuck Berry?
Robert Palmer was a boss. This song just makes me happy.
That video was on MTV non stop when it first came out
Robert Palmer was like the James Bond of rock-n-roll....British,....cool,...handsome, a sharp dresser & always surrounded by beautiful women!! Oh,...& PS....none of the women were playing instruments!! just for show...
He does the same thing in the Addicted to Love video. Same thing same kind of dances same kind of distraction. Robert Palmer's a G
Palmer's "Addicted to Love" has the same type of lady lineup to which one can become addicted .
"I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" is another one of those kind of videos from Palmer.
Okay watch “addicted to love”, then watch Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel like a woman”!
Absolutely...................................Gotta "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" first though
DITTO, Tamara!
Haha... YUP
Oh absolutely they have too lol
I was just going to say the same thing, definitely Addicted to Love first so one can see to what Man I Feel Like a Woman is paying homage.
You guys are on fire today!! Cracking me up with kickass music!!
They talk way too much tho...taking 15 min. to get thru it!!
This one is such a fun song.
And it's paired as a twin to "Addicted to Love". You'd probably recognize that one, too.
Yeah it's about how powerful and beautiful a woman is - but as much as it as about that - it's about being a simp because of it.
Robert Palmer...classy dude...RIP...
SOME LIKE IT HOT...
BANG A GONG...
this drummer was great !!
Robert Palmer/ Power Station
I saw Robert Palmer in Sydney in the late 80's and his voice was as good as his records for the whole two hours.
Back in the days this song and Addicted to Love were like the r rated stuff on tv. The other show that was hot was the Aerobics on Showtime.
"Every Kinda People" was one of Robert's first hits. It really has a good statement. RIP Robert.
I lmao when you asked bj "what else are we"...and you told him to stop..while he was ahead...lol.

Love this brings back many memories. A great artist we lost too young.
We're smart & were uhhh... We're smart & ... what else are we?? 🤣🤣🤣 A Kelly Bundy moment if I've ever seen one😂😂That was awesome!
Good to see BJ lighten up and laugh and smile. Robert also had a band called Power Station- Some like it hot. Check it out.
He always reminded me of a business executive singing a rock song.
Yes, great suit and tie.

So glad for y'all reactions.
Addicted to love is another great robert palmer song and asia is right they're models they were in a few of his videos
Yes this song was played in the Movie Bringing down the house. Where queen latifah was fighting in the woman’s rest room.

They were high fashion models hired for Robert Palmer's (RIP) videos dressed to look identical and have that blank mannequin stare
Very cool. Classic 80s. Back when "MTV" actually played music videos.
"Years ago "Pepsi" used this in alot of ads.

Mom- Cover your eyes and turn that off
My uncle- Pssh, turn it up XD
Robert is true greatness. You’ll like “ Bad case of loving You”
Addicted To Love and Looking For Clues are 2 great songs to react to by Robert Palmer
Now you need to watch the companion video ADDICTED TO LOVE! To see more of Robert and the girls!1🤣
Asia got this song. Its a tribute to the power you women got over us poor men. He said he didnt even care where his money went. 😂😂We all been there. Some of us are still there. We just here to worship yall. ✌️❤️ from Ky
He did another classic too - Addicted to love. - same kinda set up. Boy he had fun when he sang...😅
Was in the movie "American Psycho"...The main character is narrating that he is trying to listen to the new Robert Palmer CD
He did Addicted To Love as well!
DITTO...watch “addicted to love”, then watch Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel like a woman”!
If you'll notice, so many of today's commercials are featuring background songs from my generation, songs from the 70s.
A song about respect and female empowerment, (long overdue), and Asia is right, women hold a lot of cards. I think a lot of men admire, and like the company of a powerful women. A cool analysis and reaction from you both 👍👏👏👏
Also, just to add. Relative to the message of this track. It's worthwhile checking out Woman by Little Simz, a female UK /Nigerian rapper fast on the rise. Her music carries strong lyrics, poetic even. Even if you don't react, check her out.
ADDICTED TO LOVE!! This is a good song but that one is better. Great reaction!
A very great song 🎵
Robert Was A Big Fan Of Marvin Gaye,, He Would Do A Tribute To Him By Combining 2 Of His Songs Together,, ROBERT PALMER "MERCY MERCY ME/I WANT YOU"..R.I.P. MARVIN & ROBERT
Great choice!! Love you guys ❤❤❤
The "Girls" became a thing, check out ADDICTED TO LOVE next! It's also a vibe!
You got to it before me.. But to really enjoy this song.. you've got to listen and watch Shania Twain's "Man, I feel like a woman"..
Well I like the song the dancers appear to me as sane with their dancing and body language they are simply irresistible. Like the song that so much video.
Check out Robert Palmer when he was in the group Power Station. "The Power Station - Get It On (Bang A Gong)"
i have a fun fact for you guys ..... robert palmers other big hit ''ADDICTED TO LOVE '' has similar vibe but all the girls have on guitars .... also if you guys know your late 80s early 90s westcoast hip hop a rapper named ''TONE LOC '' remade robert palmers video addicted to love .... the song was called ''WILD THING''
The videos in the 80's were made for MTV. A so so song got play due to the visuals. Hot For Teacher - Van Halen is another one like this.
Asia, I think the models were told to look off-camera like that on purpose, to indicate that they’re “not really into” Robert, they’re supposed to be “aloof”.
They’re the kind of girl who gets someone to fall in love just so she can use them, but she doesn’t actually reciprocate the affection… Maybe she’s already looking for someone else who’s richer!
This was a great track and video for us Single Soldiers in the day. still admire it now!
BJ was smiling his ass off after passing the test with Asia
They talk too much!
Robert Palmer was suave AF!! Please check out his version of the Marvin Gaye classics "Mercy, Mercy me/" I Want You"❤❤❤
A defining moment on MTV when this video was first introduced.
If you want to see a really young Robert Palmer he had a big hit in 1978 with Every Kinda People. Great live version with cool bassline.
Addicted to Love (great song) set the stage for this video with the background ladies. This video goes to a new level.
Palmer was the epitome of the 80s male, during the most awesomeist of awesome decades in history. And this song is him singing his praise of the females.
Palmer & UB40 was also a master stroke.
Also, Palmers She makes my day, Respect yourself, Bad case of loving you.....oh there are so many.
The man was incredible
Shania Twain has a video where she is the singer with guys with guitars lined up behind lime they are in this video.
He did a similar video call "Addicted to Love"

One of his hits he had in England than in the USA, Robert Palmer "Woke Up Laughin'".
Great song
Good dance song, MTV days 🕺👍😎🤘🎤
Now y'all gotta do Addicted To Love.
Robert Palmer was just soo cool!
