What I love about Billy is that he never takes himself too seriously. His music yes ...but never himself. He's having so much fun in this video, his cheeky expressions are soo cute ! 🔥🔥🇬🇧
To hell with the Hall of Fame. It's a load of crap anyway. They wouldn't know what rock is even if they tripped over it in the streets. Guys like Billy never cared about stuff like that. You don't need some piece of shit hall of fame to know how good you are! If you know how good your stuff is, then who gives a shit whether you're in the hall of fame or not. It's overrated at best anyway.
I just lost my Mum 4 weeks ago; but she and I shared a MAD PASSION for Billy Idol!!! She taught me to dance - and I mean Dance!! - and I had my hair cut like Billy back in the eighties and had every move of his and his dancers down to a T. She used to get such a kick out of watching me recreate all his videos back when Much Music and MTV had videos!! Lolololol ❤❤💪😈 Thank God for Billy Idol - it's made me snarl and throw my right fist up again again when I thought I'd never snarl again!!!!! 👄👅💪😜😈❤❤❤
When you think about it, Billy Idol has had quite a remarkable career. Chiseled good looks, iconic hair, and a unique voice & style that appealed to several different demographics. His style was very "punky" and his attitude was cocky enough to bring in the youth of the 1980's who were looking for "cool" artists, but yet his songs were accessible to all, which made Billy a pop idol for a nice stretch of time in the 80's & 90's. He's unique in every conceivable way, and no one looked or sounded like him during the roaring 80's, and that kind of talent has afforded the man right to tour and earn a living in the music world until he dies. 5 decades on, and Billy is still giving audiences what they want. Don't ever stop Billy --We Love the sneer!! 🤜🤛
@@izzy_6283 Izzy, that is very true! I was a teenager in the '80s. Those were the best days ever in most ways. Especially music, movies and television shows. And, girls of course were HOT and beautiful those days too.
@@angelamaildin7976 Yes, Angela! EVERYTHING was WOW in the 80's. I'm glad I got to see it all. Now I miss the 80"s badly. Especially the way things are now, BLEHH!! (Puke) Lol!

Sorry to hear about your mom. I lost mine in 2015 and she was only 53 and unexpected. You never get over it. Sounds like she had good taste in music. Shout out to England.

A great song from Billy Idol that reached No.13 in The UK back in February 1988. My sister, who sadly passed away on 2 September 2022 was a big fan of Billy.
so sorry for her passing ..although i feel certain that she is still quite jamming out to this...the music that we love, just like our souls, it's something that's forever
Stranger, stranger, stranger, stranger It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet On a hot summer night Don't be afraid of the world we made On a hot summer night 'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by Yeah you can see the look in her eye Then you know that it's Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight Stranger, stranger For all the dreams and schemes, people are as they seem On a hot summer night Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young On a hot summer night A sometime someone you're not Don't wait to see what you got 'Cause you know that you're Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight We'll walk until my feet drop I'm a train when I'm hateful Yeah, lay right down now And ride until your head breaks I'm a-walkin' 'til my brain pops I will move with the beat now I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb I'm a ribbon in the heat now New York! Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
This song is basically incredibly good. The best part is that he sings good in English but with a heavy accent on a pop rock synth wave hybrid. This has a somewhat comical vibe to it and goes hard.
Thanks so much for your kind words it softens my heart. Your support over the years has kept me going in my career, I hope you don't stop supporting me. I'm really blessed to have you as one of my fan and from now hence forth, you're one of my favorite fans. Much love from me to you.💋
Happy memories of this song. When we were younger, my 3 brothers, 2 sisters, Mum and my late Father would travel to Ireland in a minibus every Summer to see my Grandad, so very happy memories x
Public confession: I am somewhat of a Billy Idol fan. Yesterday I was working and had on Eyes Without A Face. As TH-cam often does I let it then go to Rebel Yell, White Wedding, etc. Then it jumped to Hot in the City. I am 57 and admit I had never ever heard this song before. I am hooked!
The tunes are still around... For as long as there's yt and spotify and similar. Scour old record stores, some people have sold their old vinyl, pick it up and reuse it.
My favorite song on the Billy Idol (1982) album. Love playing this song on my home stereo. You aint lived until you've played Billy Idol albums loud on your home stereo.

Check out his live performances. His singing is great and the band is really tight. Steve Stevens is a great player too!
That is what made music so good back then NO POXY AUTOTUNE electronic box!
Billy idol is a hot stud even as an old man
He.will.never.get.old
He's a grandpa now..his daughter Bonnie had a daughter and names her poppy rebel
He's not old. He's got more go in him than I have at age 49 !😆
Age is just a number. He's still gorgeous .

And sings about New York while posing in front of an Elvis adorned Confederate flag, yet he's British.

Another awesome song out of the 80's!!
What a decade!!
Love this song, awesome from start to finish. It is the voice and production/ musical arrangement that makes it a classic.
Love this song. Takes my back to NYC in the 80's. What a great time to be alive!
One of my best 80s classics.
Classic tunes I had the privilege of growing up in the 80s so many great bands back then miss it😢
There is just nobody like the Idol - nobody. He writes, he sings, he moves just right.
No one calls him The Idol.
Anything from the eighties good or bad just warms my 💓. Miss it so much
My favourite song from him. Used to blare it when I was babysitting back in the day as a teenager...lol
His music is awesome and timeless.
OMG, haven't listened to this for years....deliciously, delectable song, Billy is a God!
As long as we have Billy Idol it’ll ALWAYS be hot in the city! Legend 🤘🏻
