The fact that you weren't sure at first if this was a new release or 80s says everything we need to know about the longevity of this absolute banger of a classic. Just one of those songs that we danced our butts off to back in the day.
Girl. When you described the guy you were expecting about to come on the track....i was dying cuz I knew in just a few seconds that exact guy was indeed about to come on the track! 💙 You're too fabulous, Empress!
This was I think the biggest most popular new wave dance track! I can remember people just rocking out dancing by themselves to this at the clubs in their new wave hair and getups!
New Order are definitely worth checking out. I would suggest the tracks Ceremony, Temptation, Bizarre Love Triangle and True Faith. I always considered New Order to be the thinking man's dance music. If you would like to hear how they came to their signature sound, also check out Joy Division, as New Order rose from the ashes of that band after lead singer Ian Curtis sadly took his own life. Great reaction as always!
Great list Dane. I would add a double album call Substance 1987. And Other songs that needs to be heard. 1.Ecstacy 2. 1963 3. Regret 4. Paradiso 5. Sunrise.
New Order had a great bassist and used the bass almost as a lead guitar, just as they'd done as Joy Division before becoming New Order after the suicide of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis. It was part of what made them standout from most bands. They have a really good catalog of music. Enjoyed your reaction as always Empress.
1983. Groundbreaking. New Order really put their drum machine through its paces on this one. They also dropped a remix of this song called "The Beach" that plays around with a vocoder and other effects. My best friend's sister liked the band a lot back then and used to play this song from her room. It would have driven us nuts if not for the superior synth work and tricky little guitar bits smuggled between the phrases in their music. New Order dropped many new wave pop hits and dance club bangers in the eighties -- "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Shellshock", "Temptation", "The Perfect Kiss" -- but I preferred the vibes of their album cuts like "Your Silent Face", "Elegia", "Love Vigilantes", and "Age of Consent" among others.
New Order was famous for NOT including their song titles in their lyrics, hence no mention of "Blue Monday" in "Blue Monday, no mention of "True Faith" in "True Faith" and no mention of "Bizarre Love Triangle" in "Bizarre Love Triangle" (my favorite three songs by the band). :-) This brings back such fun memories of dancing with my friends in college back in the 1980s.
***WHAT YEAR WAS THIS MADE?*** ...letsgetTOOOOOiiiiitttttttttt..... released Spring 1983 (I bought my copy the SAME DAY as Michael Jackson's 45 of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' "), then re-issued, early 1998 ("Blue Monday 88"), THEN, re-issued again, Fall(?) 1995, for a remix compilation.... It was covered by the Rave-punk Band Orgy, in 1999, and it's THE most popular selling 12" single of ALLTIME.....so, thereyaGO....ha-HAAA!!
With these kinds of songs, you have to close your eyes and imagine yourself in an 80's dance club with your hair teased up to high heavens and big shoulder pads.😉
Yes! Dance music for goths, punks, freaks, wavers, vampires, fun people. Dark underground clubs. jaja! I was there. late '80s, early '90s. New wave punk dance music.
Interested to see this reaction after seeing her reaction to Neneh Cherry’s Buffalo Stance. Full of enthusiasm for music and a warm, addictive personality. 🙂 New Order are one of my favourite bands of all time too. Pioneers in dance music.
It came to light in a big way here in the UK in early 1983 when it was a massive hit in the singles chart. It spent pretty much the whole of 1983 in the charts. I know it was a few years later that it became popular in other countries.
83 version is the original, longer version-88 version shortened for quincy jones produced remix for music video Substance 87 is great hass all the EP singles etc from the early 80s, best versions in my HO...
LOVED your reaction as usual Empress! This was one of those songs that would cause me to immediately run out to the dance floor and go off back in my clubbing days! 😂 🕺🏼
Hiya Empress and all This song is thought to be about either drug addiction, child abuse or a failed relationship. The line, "How does it feel? To treat me like you do," could refer to either the drugs or a partner. The lyrics written by the group's guitarist/lead singer Bernard Sumner, who copped to being (along with the rest of the band) under the influence of LSD while making the song. They were wired to their teeth and you could feel it in their music - you get an actious feeling in the bottom of your gut as you are dancing away the marvelous chemicals inside you giving you rhythm and the beat making you feel like a virgin, orgasmed sound for the very first time and the constant pump feeling though your entire being while you're throbbing your body against another............. Never experienced it lmao = but I was told by a friend of a friend who experienced that :)} You are correct Madame Empress they are British and it's a known that Monday SUCKS so much that it's in the British dictionary as: Monday in January, typically the third Monday of the month, that is characterized as the most depressing day of the year.
Gosh I feel old. LOL!!! I was in my.....teens when this first came out. 😝 GOD BLESS YOU GIRLY, & GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! 😎 OUR HOME SWEET HOME. 👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿🇺🇲🤘🏿🤘🏾🤘🏽
Great Dance moves girl! It was almost u were a really in the 80s reacting to this! How people combined disco, and robot body popping moves to figure out how to dance to this new sound! 🤣🙏❤️
@@EmpressReacts That's how it was back then. Disco was dying off during the early and mid '80s. In the late '70s and early '80s.. New wave/post-punk/dance-punk had taken over disco as the new dance music. We needed something new to dance to and it was fun jaja 80s and '90s We also danc3ed to R&B/funk, electronics, rap,/breakdancing, and freestyle music.
Not my favourite New Order song (probably from over exposure) but one of the most important songs in pop history. A pivot point song, where new genre branches grew, or was it a flowering declaration? 🤔 Either way, it is an iconic song in the history of new wave, synth-pop, EDM, Techno etc. New Order are an amazing band, always one of the "big boys" of their scenes, always cool, highly revered. Geez, I even love their fun, daggy, sporting anthem "World in Motion" (co-writen with Lily Allen's dad, Keith), their only UK number one. My favourite New Order songs would be "The Perfect Kiss" "Thieves like Us" "Regret" "Temptation" "World (Price of Love)" "Bizarre Love Triangle"
I agree with everything you said. It's not my favorite either, but you can't deny the impact. It led to so many other things...even a movie, in a way! (24 Hour Party People)
Definitely the pivot point as you say. New Order and Joy Division were the starting points for genre's that haven't even been named yet such as Goth, Electropop etc. They didn't jump on the bandwagon, they were the bandwagon.
Such a good song Empress! Of course the remake of this was in Wonder Woman 1984 film. Please patrons request their hit "True Faith." Thanks! Definitely a bop! Ironic: Blue Monday on Monday.
I loved this the first time I heard it from my bassinet in 1983. It's still on my playlist today. The next time it plays near a flat surface you are next on my dance card, Cupcake!
@@EmpressReacts lot of sampling but the whole is what is spectacular here.....the chorus is lifted from kraftwerk, the bass in some spots from an italian spaghetti western the good, the bad and the ugly. but they essentially put together some of this equipment themselves it was so primitive. even tho the dates say 83 i think it was writter earlier.
I was at there first concert in Holland i believe 1984, and i will be at there concert in September 2023. Al is extracted from Joy Division from Ian. So sad he took his own live, the world did not understand him, he was way in front of the music at that time. Remember the album Closer with Isolation and Love will tear us apart, the story of his live
Empress you Must watch Kylie Minogue’s live version of this mixed with “Can’t get you out of my head” The way she comes out of the CD player is too cool. “Can’t get Blue Monday out of my head” 🔥
It's a timeless classic you''ve discovered & it came out in 1983. New Order pioneered and paved the way for many electronic bands. Besides you may have heard of a cult band called Joy Divsion? New Order are the leftovers of it. I'm sure you'll fall for True Faith another classic by them!!
Hahahahaha stumbled upon this video and loved it , I used to see new order in Manchester ,Leeds and Liverpool in the bars and clubs, watching you dance sitting down reminded me how the tot at the time used to dance sitting down.
Nice impro Empress 💕💕 a song from my twenties this song was part of that soundtrack for myself just a few years into my London life, engineer by day, clubbing in north london nights, athletic track weekends
Great songs and great bass when you hear the song you get hooked and they were successful for44year and just were playing live in 2021 Blake Monday was the biggest salting 12 million 12 inch
nice 2 c ur gen discovern vis ole song, was big on v floors. yeah it still does sound new suprisingly. was releasesed a decade after first release n charted again in v top ten. yeah great bass line.
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but you look a lot like Olympic gold medal winner Elodie Ouédraogo, including your smile and facial expressions. :-)

🤣🤣I thought it was going to be an instrumental at first
Warsaw = Joy Division = New Order. Pure greatness. RIP Ian Curtis
79 - 89 was such an epic run
“Is this an old song, or a song of today?”
The answer: Yes 😆
Perfect reaction! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I swear I couldn't tell🤣

I interesting fact....the intro rapidfire drum pattern was taken from the song "Our Love" by Donna Summer from her "Bad Girls" album.
Wow that is interesting
@@EmpressReacts you should react to Donna Summer.
1983 UK jam of the century!!!

I’ve noticed that Neneh Cherry’s Buffalo Stance has that very New Orderesque bass riff in it.
1983 remixed in 1988 what it really got popular in its long 12-inch version form
It really came to light in 1987 on an album called substance
It came to light in a big way here in the UK in early 1983 when it was a massive hit in the singles chart. It spent pretty much the whole of 1983 in the charts. I know it was a few years later that it became popular in other countries.

You would love the Machinations. An Aussie group with a similar vibe. All the best from Melbourne Australia
Oh man! Did we LOVE New Order! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 innovative very early 80s synth pop/rock.
When the synths kick in towards the end, almost seems like perfection.
Blue Monday is neither old or new, it's timeless.

Or it could also mean what the band said and just be nonsensical

Classic masterpiece,timeless tune even in 2022 sound still fresh
This was the national anthem of the night clubs back in the 80's. I used to dj back then and this was the banger to pack the dance floor.

This girl is so crystal. I love her.
Those guitar chords were actually bass chords. This master piece from 1983 is still the most selling ever 12" in the UK.
How good is Hooky
Gotta love it when Empress gets her groove on
😎😍
Such a good song Empress! Of course the remake of this was in Wonder Woman 1984 film. Please patrons request their hit "True Faith." Thanks! Definitely a bop! Ironic: Blue Monday on Monday.
Love "True Faith" by New Order!
@@Marcus-Oh-really-yes A patron needs to request it!
It was in Atomic Blonde, too.
This came out in 1983.. a group named Orgy did a good cover of this in 1998
what a wondrous creation inspired by the futuristic and artful minds of Donna Summer and her producer Giorgio Moroder-See Our Love for reference.
Donna Summer had something to do with this song?
@@EmpressReacts Donna (RIP) was one of the pioneers of techno, disco and new wave. Legend, pretty lady.
This song is a copy of Our Love by Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder
Sure remember this song. My sister used to play this a lot along with ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat.
I loved this the first time I heard it from my bassinet in 1983. It's still on my playlist today. The next time it plays near a flat surface you are next on my dance card, Cupcake!
😁😁😁🥰
The beginning drum beat is from Donna Summer's song OUR LOVE off of the Bad Girls LP.
Wow interesting ‼️
@@EmpressReacts lot of sampling but the whole is what is spectacular here.....the chorus is lifted from kraftwerk, the bass in some spots from an italian spaghetti western the good, the bad and the ugly. but they essentially put together some of this equipment themselves it was so primitive. even tho the dates say 83 i think it was writter earlier.
All the freaks would run like a mob to the dance floor when this was played at the disco...Still amazing.
🔥🔥🔥
I've always loved this song
I’ve never seen this lyric video before, so kool!!!!
Haha that's amazing how you guessed about the type of singer you were expecting!
🤣🤣exactly
I was at there first concert in Holland i believe 1984, and i will be at there concert in September 2023. Al is extracted from Joy Division from Ian.

Ooo I wanna see it
It's a timeless classic you''ve discovered & it came out in 1983.
New Order pioneered and paved the way for many electronic bands.
Besides you may have heard of a cult band called Joy Divsion? New Order are the leftovers of it.
I'm sure you'll fall for True Faith another classic by them!!
Interesting ‼️
80s will always be awesome
Hahahahaha stumbled upon this video and loved it , I used to see new order in Manchester ,Leeds and Liverpool in the bars and clubs, watching you dance sitting down reminded me how the tot at the time used to dance sitting down.
Glad you enjoyed it
I said this about other songs but...If I had a dollar for every time I danced my ass off to this song at a club, I'd be a MILLIONAIRE! 💰
🤣🤣
Another album that everyone seem to have when you searched their CD collections during the 1990s.
Interesting ‼️
this song was considered first electronic song around year 1986
Oh wow
This song is an 80's classic. That's why Kylie Minogue mixed it into 'Can't Get You Out of My Head" for her iconic Brits Awards performance.
Oh wow, I bet that sounded 🔥
1983 only released on 12 inch vinyl. Synth classic, I have 2 copies! 🙏❤️
Ceremony is a great place to start. The bridge from Joy Division to New Order. Lyrics by Ian.
Nice impro Empress 💕💕 a song from my twenties this song was part of that soundtrack for myself just a few years into my London life, engineer by day, clubbing in north london nights, athletic track weekends
Empress of Cute,Empress of Groove,bringing the Tunes, that make you want to move !
😍
their other two iconic moments are bizzare love triangle and true faith
fun fact, the highest selling UK 12" of all time, but they spent so much on the record cover they lost money every time someone bought a copy lol
That’s so New Order
Interesting ‼️
80s magic
Absolute classic
The biggest selling 12" of all time....! Still makes sense
Wow interesting ‼️
The 12" single version was the most sold 12" ever
This was the end of the 70s and the beginning of 80s CLUB music... DJs went crazy
Interesting ‼️
Great songs and great bass when you hear the song you get hooked and they were successful for44year and just were playing live in 2021 Blake Monday was the biggest salting 12 million 12 inch
You should react to Midnight by Yazoo. Or any song from their album Upstairs At Eric’s. Great band.
nice 2 c ur gen discovern vis ole song, was big on v floors. yeah it still does sound new suprisingly. was releasesed a decade after first release n charted again in v top ten. yeah great bass line.
Thanks for the info!
1983
British music is the best 🇬🇧
Girl you are as smokin cute as the song. You have a new subscriber.
Peter Hook is a near to a god.
Legendary
Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but you look a lot like Olympic gold medal winner Elodie Ouédraogo, including your smile and facial expressions. :-)
You should listen to crystal by New Order 6:51 minutes Long
For the most part, New Order named their songs completely randomly. The names have little or nothing to do with the songs themselves.
My Dear,you might also like LIVING ON VIDEO by TRANS X
