@@christaylor2529 I was 18 when this came out,man the good ole days where you could listen to anything on the radio,real music to begin with and not this whateveryouwannacall it we have today.
I use to listen to this all the time in the summer of 1989. The summer of 1989 was one of the hottest on record in the UK. It was also the year my parents bought their first Volvo. I remember driving down the road with the windows open and the music blaring out. Great times.
Born in 1982. People can't believe I remember "old" songs. But I always had a boom box next to me. 😂❤❤ Money makes the world go round, but it doesn't make a man a man in most cases. 😂
The song was written and composed for Cherry's boyfriend at the time, Esteban Caudillo. Cherry gave him the nickname "Che" because he frequently quoted Che Guevara and talked constantly about revolutionary topics. Thus, Cherry's original lyrics were: "Who's looking good today? Che's looking good in every way." After their breakup, she removed this reference to him.The reference to "his crocodile feet" was Cherry's teasing reference to Che's ever present Lacoste tennis shoes, which he even wore with business suits and tuxedoes.The following lyrics were from a Valentine's Day poem Che wrote for Cherry "Wind on my face, sound in my ears Water from my eyes, and you on my mind As I sink, diving down deep deeper into your soul."The two eventually split due to Cherry's belief that Che was too materialistic and loved money more than her, which was the inspiration for the lyrics: "No moneyman can win my love It's sweetness that I'm thinking of. "BUFFALO STANCE " is the way you stand with your arms crossed" (in the video) 2:21IN THE END, The two eventually split due to Cherry's belief that Che was too materialistic and loved money more than her, which was the inspiration for the lyrics: "No moneyman can win my love It's sweetness that I'm thinking of."
Yep, i was just thinking of this song a week ago & it popped up on the radio. I was singing what I could remember. This takes me back to a happy & simpler time. Big smile on my face!
I will always be in a damn HAPPY state of mind whenever I hear this song. What a CLASSIC song in every way, and the music video is a rare gem too. I'm always dancing and laughing when I see that video. Thank-you Neneh Cherry and thank-you Mistresslyrics for posting this!
I'm a nearly 60 year old woman from Amsterdam. I used to swing to this in the '80s. Still very cute but rap/R&B went off like a skyrocket since those days. Luv it.
This song totally sounded old school but I'm legit shocked it actually turned out to be! Pretty decent production and sound quality. Express brought me here btw.
This song could have came out yesterday...Its amazing Nenah Cherry was ahead of her time..lyrics on point...its hard to understand what she is actually talking about unless u lived that life!!
I saw her live in a club in london back then . not my kind of music . but now I can appreciate it more . The Peter kays car share version bought me here.
I cant believe this only has a hundred thousand hits. This is an iconic hip hop song. Trendsetting and ,lets face it, infectious. Makes you think of your first crush.
to answer Julia Herm's question: Buffalo stance: To stand with your arms tighly crossed looking over to side at somebody. This comes from the pose struck by Bruce Smith of the Buffalo Bills in the late 1980's - taken from Urban Dictionary
I used to watch a video of hers for this tour which featured all the songs on this album back to back as a child.. I love her and especially as we shared the same roots Gambia and Sweden 🖤
Wow...my mind has been blown beyond recognition. It's 7:51 AM and I got up and danced HARD when I heard the instrumental part. Brilliant song, really took me back.
This is so corny from the 80s. It was corny then. But I liked Neneh Cherry. She took Hip-Hop from my beloved Bronx and took it around the world. Hearing this again, all I can do is smile.
I love this song! Haven't heard it in so long & then i watched Jamie's 15 minute meals! Thats what brought me here! Now i remember how much i use to listen to this song when i was a kid & it came out in 1988 or 1989. I also have her cd with this song that i gotta find. Thanks Jamie Oliver for bringing me to this song. Thats the best song for his show!
Still gives me chills. I’m in my 40s now but this is still one of my all time fav songs of all time. 🙌 rereading the lyrics this song was a lot heavier than I realized as a kid. But I’m glad she opened the dialog even back then.
Love this song! It brings back so many great memories of dancing at Maxwell Jump's at Northeastern University. The bar doesn't exist anymore...but the song still lives on! ;-)
This is 1 the 'rock out' abfab tracks. I immigrated from 1 continent to another in 1989, to NYC : culture shock, surprises and my life changed. This is a part of my soundtrack to this year.
@Julia Herms "What does a buffalo stance look like I wonder...." A Buffalo Stance is when you pose with arms folded (like the "Raw Like Sushi" album cover.).
LOVE THIS SONG THE SOUND OF IT IS FREAKING AWESOME THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND SHE IS SO RIGHT NO MONEY MAN CAN WIN MY LOVE IT'S SWEETNESS THAT I'M THINKING OF ❤
I remember this song like yesterday. I remember the music video channel playing nothing but rap songs 24/7. After school, my brother, my sister and all our friends would sit in the living room at our house and watch videos for 2 to 3 hours almost everyday. This song use to be heavy in the rotation. This was the Golden Era of Rap/Hip Hop, which gave us a variety of great music. Today's hip hop is nothing but straight booty doo-doo garbage.
Oh yea i remember those days. You mostly had to watch MTV to catch all the newest and latest rap. And yea most of this hiphop now is pure garbage and makes no damn sense.
I remember that time too!😭 I haven't watched anything on MTV for about 10 years now. I don't even know what the point of calling the channel MTV is anymore.
I'm an almost 60 year old white man and this has to be one of the greatest songs I've ever heard
It still incredible but it was true🔥🔥🔥when it came out... BRILLIANT we loved from the get go.
@@christaylor2529 I was 18 when this came out,man the good ole days where you could listen to anything on the radio,real music to begin with and not this whateveryouwannacall it we have today.
I'm sorry. Especially since this really isn't good
Best song ever
No one cares what your race is

🤣@Volvo..... try 1987 Chevy I Roc z , with no catalytic converter or mufflers😉
Thats 1989 State Side.
Born in 1982. People can't believe I remember "old" songs. But I always had a boom box next to me. 😂❤❤ Money makes the world go round, but it doesn't make a man a man in most cases. 😂
I was born 1982 as well!
Jamie's 30 Minute Meals / 15 Minute Meals brought me here. This is now my favourite song to have on repeat when I'm cooking...
The lyrics is just awesome.......and the beat too........

This a big reason I love TH-cam....people as yourself sharing interesting background info. Thank you!!!!!😃
I thought Cherry was a Lesbian hmm ok
Thank you for this
Joshua Pinner Nope. shes a still-married (20+ years) & she's grandmother as of 2017.
Cheers.
This used to play soooo much at the beaches in Cali in the late 80's. Reminds me of being a kid and being free and having a blast
My #1 song of 1989, and still holds up today.
Wow, I was 29 & my baby was 2 years old. I remember doing dance aerobics to this song until I was blue in the face, lol. Wow, where has the time gone.
Wow....
No it's a typical bad pop song
Yep, i was just thinking of this song a week ago & it popped up on the radio. I was singing what I could remember. This takes me back to a happy & simpler time. Big smile on my face!
I know it’s just the best song ever ever. It never gets old.
Never heard the song with the long instrumental break in the middle. I love it! This song never gets old!! Reminds me so much of being a kid.
February, 2020. Still dancing, still standing in a buffalo stance since the 90's! Love from New Zealand.
This has aged like wine ;-) Brilliant tune.
This song has aged like jenkem.
4 yrs later and still fine like wine 🍷

KILLER SONG!!
The ending synth lead is flames. 🔥
absolutely... its amazing
i love when people take the time to add the lyrics to great songs!
The full version of this song (this version) straight SLAPS
I'm a nearly 60 year old woman from Amsterdam.
I used to swing to this in the '80s.
Still very cute but rap/R&B went off like a skyrocket since those days.

There's no proof of that
Mez Hossain right arms mean hiding. A person that's meant to do something sits however they want but discussed boundaries like Boundary Waters.
SOOOO cool to know! Thanx Mez.....xo
RUN DMC pose
thats why it was in POSE
Unlike most lyrics videos this video is made by professional. The timing of the lyrics is great.
The instrumental is by far the best part! Shame on any videos that cut it out, and when they cut it out on the radio!
Yeah it's that way for a lot of songs. Maybe it's their way of trying to get you to buy the album.
My dad was playing this when I was younger, and I've loved it ever since that day
I used to watch a video of hers for this tour which featured all the songs on this album back to back as a child.. I love her and especially as we shared the same roots Gambia and Sweden 🖤
Wow...my mind has been blown beyond recognition. It's 7:51 AM and I got up and danced HARD when I heard the instrumental part. Brilliant song, really took me back.
One of the best songs of the 80's!!! ^_^
This Song needs to be remastered and on the amazon echo
The 80´s and 90´s....good times.
This is one of my all time favorites ❤. I love the beat .
This is so corny from the 80s. It was corny then. But I liked Neneh Cherry. She took Hip-Hop from my beloved Bronx and took it around the world. Hearing this again, all I can do is smile.
@ DJFreedomlives, its NOT corny, its AWESOME!! i luv this song!!
The instrumental part is so amazing.
That little repeating guitar line/chord thing at the end of the song...gets me every time - you could build a whole song just around that.
Such an amazing hook, I could listen to the end of this song go on repeat for a loooong time
Great song. I can see why so many love this song.
I love this song! Haven't heard it in so long & then i watched Jamie's 15 minute meals! Thats what brought me here!

Where is this type of music today? So much talent...hella catchy too.
I'll be the one to put it simply...this freaking kicks ass!!!
wonderful lyrics by a beautiful woman.
I genuinely think this is one of the greatest songs of all time. The instrumental part that kicks in at 4:35 is truly masterful
That's so beautiful and heavenly for me.
Still gives me chills. I’m in my 40s now but this is still one of my all time fav songs of all time. 🙌 rereading the lyrics this song was a lot heavier than I realized as a kid. But I’m glad she opened the dialog even back then.
this song went to #3 on the pop charts in 1989!!!
1988
I remember it came out late 88 but aint get popular to early/mid 89
Just heard this on the radio and hadn't in forever! LMAO!
wonderful lyrics by a beautiful woman.

Best version
This is the best outro ever.
This reminds me of the summer of 1989. Good times. :)
My gym bought me here. They was blasting this when I walked in.
Yes this bring back memories !!!!
Love this song! It brings back so many great memories of dancing at Maxwell Jump's at Northeastern University. The bar doesn't exist anymore...but the song still lives on! ;-)
"Who's looking good today, who's looking good, in every way." Love it...

POSE brought me here. Love it!
Still an absolute fckin tune.❤
This Vibe still sounds fresh in 2022, get down to the beat
😂
Love that guitar coming in at 4:36. Such a great tune.
Songs like this take me back in time. Is it bad I just want to close my eyes and remain there?
That actually so relable
I’d love to go back to 88’
Thank you so much for taking me back10 years old
I was 8 when this song came out i always liked it makes me feel good ☺ time is flying by
@Julia Herms "What does a buffalo stance look like I wonder...."
A Buffalo Stance is when you pose with arms folded (like the "Raw Like Sushi" album cover.).
Like RUN DMC did a lot
Literally the coolest song of the year it came out 1988
One of the most underrated songs ever.
Im 16 and this is one of my favorite songs. Good music right here
LOVE THIS SONG THE SOUND OF IT IS FREAKING AWESOME THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND SHE IS SO RIGHT NO MONEY MAN CAN WIN MY LOVE IT'S SWEETNESS THAT I'M THINKING OF ❤
I miss this time period so much (late 80s / early 90s) ... so many jams on the radio...
Wonderful 1989 Memorabilia
Yes ma'am! I still have the...gasp!... 12" of this classic. To the folks who fade this glory, you betta RECOGNIZE!
Love the instrumental part at the end
We ALWAYS hang in a Buffalo stance- Buffalo, NEW YORK, that is, my friend... Yes, yes, quite good, quite good.
wow, I bought her album when i was in boot camp in ft sill, ok...1989. Oh the memories. I though she was awesome!
I absolutely love this song so much! Def one of my favorite songs ever!!!
I was in 8th grade when this song was popular. Gawd, I'm old... ROFLMAO
Thumps up for the old guy, please? LOL

Still very relevant today. Underrated
Oh those 80's💝
11 people should even listen to any kind of music...EVER!!!
Ah, 1988... we meet again!!
One of my favorite during my youth age
80s and 90s the best era of music.
this is from the MTV Era when mtv was watchable.....
I remember that time too!😭
I haven't watched anything on MTV for about 10 years now.
I don't even know what the point of calling the channel MTV is anymore.
Her half brother is Eagle eye Cherry, singer of "save tonight"
Jamie Oliver's 15 minute meals brought me here...jammin'
