Imagine being 18 in 1984 and driving home with the windows down on a beautiful midwest summer night about 10 PM and this coming on the radio. That happened to me, and I still remember the feeling. It was otherworldly.
For me I was pretty young, but I stayed home from school, sick, and kind of in a weird haze in the morning. My mom had the radio on getting ready for work. For some reason it always stuck with me, and I always wondered why. It didn’t seem significant. Guess it was just the music.
Bro...just watched this clip on VH1 and was thinking "Hmmm I bet the first comment i'll see on youtube about this clip will be regarding GTA Vice City's 'The Malibu Club'..." Nailed it 😆. Good Times bro...gooood times 👍
This is probably one of the best examples of a music video produced during the golden age of music video. It plays to the strengths of the format - the group is well represented and the visuals are fascinating and it's definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Well done Wang Chung et al - this is a masterpiece.
@bleep77 I hear you on the bittersweet nostalgia. This too is a song that illicits the pining of better times past....I'm also adding 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' and Head Over Heels - both by Tears For Fears, Glass Tiger's 'Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone, and The Smiths 'How Soon Is Now?'
Im 53 , was 12 in 1982 when i first heard this song on 2SM Sydney radio station and recorded it on a TDK cassette on my Sony radio cassette recorder , such memories and great times
On the other side of the world in Texas, I was a 8 listening to Casey Kasem's American Top Forty on Power 104 KRBE with my finger on the record button at the end of each song in case the next one was a banger.
I don't about you guys but this song brings me very good childhood memories of Vice City today I'm 23 and i still play it Vice City is the first badass game i ever played just like Gta San Andreas😎😎😎😎
Isn’t it crazy that the time that separates us from the release of this song (nearly 40 years) now corresponds to the time that separates the song to the era of the “dance hall days” (1940s)?
Yup. It'll be the same for "Dirty Dancing" in just a few more years. Goes to show that nostalgia is a never-ending cycle--the folks from "the good old days" were nostalgic for *their* good old days.
@@QEsposito510 Only people that dislike the 50's - 80's are people that are incompatible with those times, a burden. Don't start with the social justice bs, those times were fantastic.

@@savethezombies ..not one of my favourites. But there is Ice House, Simple Minds, Noiseworks, Midnight Oil, tracks like Pump Up The Volume - Marrs, Iron Maiden, Metallica, .....
i remember when that game came out, fukin hell, there was such high expectations and it sold out around here so quickly. i remember me and my friends in school drooling over sneak peak screenshots of vice city in the magazines before it was released, they were good times lol
*Radio Host Voice* "Goooooood Morning, Vice Cityyy. Sun is up, waves are high, and things have been getting crazy out there. Makes you miss of the good ol days, just like this next hit from the 80s. Stay safe everyone." *plays dance hall days*
I was never really a Wang Chung fan as a kid growing up in the 80s, but this song is overwhelmingly nostalgic to me now. It takes me back a simpler time when our days were more care free.
I was born in 95. I heard this on the radio in a video game. It does the same to me. The point of the game was to shoot and rob but I'd just pick a car and drive around listening to the radio. I was a tween then in the mid 2000s and had my whole life. Now Im 30 and it feels I've run out of road
*Lyrics* Take your baby by the hand And make her do a high handstand And take your baby by the heel And do the next thing that you feel We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Dance hall days love Take your baby by the hair And pull her close and there, there, there And take your baby by the ears And play upon her darkest fears We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love Take your baby by the wrist And in her mouth an amethyst And in her eyes two sapphires blue And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Dance hall days love Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love
I am SO Happy to have lived my childhood in the 80s. LIVING those E.T. moments while riding my BMX searching for the next adventure. You might love STRANGER THINGS, but I lived it!
My dad showed me this song when I was in elementary school. Still listening to it today as I’m about to graduate college in May. As time flies, great music will stay
It was a dark winter evening in 1984 on a train going through the green English countryside on my way back to London i remember listening to this on my Walkman.While I listened to this i stared out the window there was something almost mystical about the dark forests and green fields rushing past my window. (Walkman = olden days version of the ipod. Info for those born after the 80's. )
+bearded yeti Ummmm. You're looking at history through rose colored glasses. Cocaine Cowboys in Miami, Bloods & Crips in LA. AIDS hit the news. War in Grenada, Afghani Civil War..Look it wasn't all bad and I'm a child of the 80's but to say the 80's were peaceful is a bit of a nostalgic stretch. Glad you have good memories of it though..Hold on to those.
I'm 63. I was 22 when this song hit the clubs. I'm from NYC, and this song was IT. The Tunnel, The Kit Kat Klub, The Cave. EVERY club had this song going on.
December 1986- My friends and I read in a alternative/wave magazine that Wang Chung would be performing at Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, Co in Jan. 1987. We make the trek by car 125 miles from Sterling Co to Denver in a snow storm that was quickly turning worse. We get to Rainbow Music Hall to find out that the concert was canceled due to weather. We had called that morning and all was fine. We ended up eating at Wendy's and driving for five hours back to Sterling which would have normally taken two hours in good weather. That's my Wang Chung story.
With the opening notes of this song, I'm mentally transported to the city pool when I was kid - hearing this song playing over the radio as we splashed around, blissfully unaware of the future...
Que bom que existe gta para está geração que nasceu de 2000 para ca para fazer gostar destas músicas porque eu que nasci nos anos 90 conheci estas músicas a partir de discos de vinils e MTV kkk
viva o Vice City !!! de todos os gtas que existem e por mais que sejam perfeitos e incríveis eu quero o Vice City SEMPRE, porque é minha raiz, jogava muito, não é só por causa dos flashbacks, o Vice City em si, amo demais !! ♥🔥 e sou fã de flashbacks !!! 🍃
I've said it before, Saturday night, cheap wine, but good wine, '80's music on youtube. Maybe some '80's movies later on...BEST DECADE EVER!!! I miss my friends from those days. I absolutely miss the music.
Airbender 4, yes, I get horrible melancholy when I think about how great the 80s were, especially the music... they were full of optimism. The world now is much more cynical and dysfunctional.
Agreed 1000%. The 1980's music was so different from so many bands-- they seemed to use all the instruments they could get their hands on to layer the sound of a song-- used all the tools in the box, so to speak. Now-- not sure I hear anything different in any genre; country sounds the same, pop/rb/soul sounds the same and they use sampling, looping and autotune-- nobody is going to actually convince me they are musicians/singers learning their craft as much as they are convenience and routine. The 1980's are so far above what's going on today, and it's not even close.
Moments like these are why I keep coming back to TH-cam, depsite the horrible fighting between complete strangers. I don't even know why but i had this song just pop into my head today. It reminds me of much happier days. Thank you to the person who kindly posted it, I appreciate it very much.
The libraries at both my middle and high schools were also our public libraries. (Extremely small town..) A book was "redlined" when an adult would report that it was inapprioriate by age or just was 'questionable'. The recommendations weren't vetted in any way. The librarian simply took a red sharpie and drew a line through the shelfing tag. In other words most were verboten to us students on the advice of elderly women with a lot of cats and even more bitterness. Probably their racist book ever was Gone With The Wind... I see these women behind the warning on this video.
I get annoyed with those get upset, because Vice city brought we here, I mean not everybody and especially the teenage generation who played GTA Vice city (when came released), we were not had the chance to live the whole eighties age, (even many wasn't borned yet), so this was an way to re-discover this magnificie music, so proudly, GTA Vice city brought me here.
Gabriel Sulmonetti Exactly! This was a fucking awesome time be a kid. Anyone who wasn't alive during this time could not understand it. The music and movies of the 80s are pretty much the best way to project those feelings. Not hating on GTA Vice City at all. They have really good taste in music. And glad youngsters have an outlet to learn about that special time/era in pop culture. There was such diversity and creativity in the 80s. I want to rip my ears off when I hear what's on the radio stations today.
Gabriel Sulmonetti I agree with you i'm glad that GTA exposed this generation to 80's music like you said some of these kids weren't born during the 80's and the 90's
I got you, well enjoy, the 1980's was a blast for me ass a young boy ten those teenage years. Nothing but neon lights everywhere and the club scene was awesome. I miss those days, but like another great song by Prince during those times said, Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last and that went for the 1980's.
Andreas Kowalsky Ofc bro look what result they got with GTA V More then 300 Million copies selled in the first fucking weak!! Just wait and yes. it will be for 2017 and then BOOM Headshot GTA VI or another cool name i hope the game is set in the 80's again or at least the 90's
I'm not following you. You bought a kit, but then you made it at the store? Please explain yourself. If you refuse to explain yourself, penalties will be created and enforced.
I used to work at a pet store and sometimes we’d have the 80s station on. Me and my friend Sean would hear this song sometimes and wonder what the hell the lyrics were. He died a few years back, not even 30. Now whenever this (or a few other songs) pop up, I think of him. Rest in peace buddy
Peculiar that you mention '84... I tell people that's the very year when good original music started to die a slow death. Plenty of exciting and talented musicians popped up after 84 extending the era of great music for several more years but by the time I got to high school, 95% of the people were all about rap.
MegaDyneSystems I don't know what the hell you were listening to then. The majority of the 80's was SUPERB and music didn't to start to nosedive till the 90's. As for todays stuff, don't even get me started.
anyone wanna go down to the malibu club, have a beer and making new friends, aswell as dance with bikers, construction workers, soldiers and police officers?

Those 80’s were superb eh? I just don’t recognise the world anymore. And this is one fine tune. I play it a lot. ❤
I was 1 in 1984 and also remember this song coming on the radio while being driven home. J/k

Most definitely. I remember cruise on my motorcycle at night with this song blaring

I really want GTA 6 to be back in Vice City again but with a larger map and the 80s jams again.

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them..
I feel that way and I was born in the 90's. Sometimes I wish I was alive in the 80's just to experience it all..

It reminds me of girls I dated and when MTV was in its beginning phases. Good times. p.s. my cover photo was c.1988
Same here. I was a teen in the eighties and this was my music ❤️
The rockstar guys chose exactly the best songs to symbolize the 80's, simply surreal ROCKSTAR. THANK YOU THE HAUSER BROTHERS

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days love
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days love
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days love

My dad showed me this song when I was in elementary school. Still listening to it today as I’m about to graduate college in May. As time flies, great music will stay
Seguramente tu papá era un niño en esa época.
Congratulations!
It was a dark winter evening in 1984 on a train going through the green English countryside on my way back to London i remember listening to this on my Walkman.While I listened to this i stared out the window there was something almost mystical about the dark forests and green fields rushing past my window. (Walkman = olden days version of the ipod. Info for those born after the 80's. )
cool memory, having a walkman was a big deal, I didn't have one until 1990
I also had that feeling
I was born in 2002 and I know what a walkman is
cw love your comment! That’s life!
Phurise / I was born in 1981 & I know what a telegraph is...what's your point
GTA Vice City .Nice song.
Still listening to this classic . Who else . ❤
Brings back those high school days!!!! The 80s was one of the best decades.♥♥♥♥♥
Natalie Harris Amen .
Natalie Harris I'm almost 17 all over again...1984.
James Johnson I feel the same way♥
Natalie Harris not one of the best, it was the best.
trevorbaldwin1 No argument from me ; )
Anyone listening in 2019 ?? What a tune best years the 80s !!!
Of course!!!
I love 80s music so much. We had such great music, movies, and TV back then
Chris Kilts agreed!! I listen to 80s on the radio now Dab is a awesome thing
@@cnkilts such a nice time!
Me I remember this in 80's myself born 78❤😁
This will forever be a hood classic 😂
You said it Squigga
Certified
Damn right- good songs of any style transcend across all cultures.
Yessir 🫡❤
I'm feeling a little "wang chung" today....that's why i'm here.
one of the most under rated great songs from the best decade of music, the 1980s
The best decade of music? Hee hee.
Not underrated at all
THAT WAS MY MONEY TOMMY!!! MY MONEY!!!
XD
kkkkkkkkkkkk
ZAP ZAP u miss the reference
+Adam S actually I think they're having a seizure
+Adam S no he didnt, "kkkkkkk" means hes laughing
Most of us either remember this from the 80’s or gta vice city, now we have the younger generation knowing this song from cobra kai
Indeed!
Or Hank Schrader having a party for Walter H. White
@FGW man you're 15, lots more good days to come
Don't be sad
xD
You youngsters need to listen to more new wave 👂
Graduated high school in 85, now 57, the 80's were undoubtedly the BEST TIMES!
There’s something magical about this song. Makes me feel a rush of life and love
So true!
Good music for psychopaths killing people
damn. Life ain't like it was anymore. can't beat the 80s. peaceful
True that
+bearded yeti Ummmm. You're looking at history through rose colored glasses. Cocaine Cowboys in Miami, Bloods & Crips in LA. AIDS hit the news. War in Grenada, Afghani Civil War..Look it wasn't all bad and I'm a child of the 80's but to say the 80's were peaceful is a bit of a nostalgic stretch. Glad you have good memories of it though..Hold on to those.
Kbomb123 well then...
+Kbomb123 everything was different then. Even the air smelt better, well I remember in the 90s everything was better than now..
+MysticFantasy70s I couldnt agree more we were coming to the end of a very promising century, we thought it could only get better, but it didn't.
I used to think he was saying "we were cool on Christ."
me too, first time hearing this song; "we were cool on craze"
Atheist?
@@dwayneneal3342 Me? No.
@@JohnnnyJohn yeah you are,that's why you heard what you wanted in the song. You are the devil.
@@dwayneneal3342 So hearing someone say they are cool with Jesus means I don't believe in him? That's quite the leap in logic.
I'm 63. I was 22 when this song hit the clubs. I'm from NYC, and this song was IT. The Tunnel, The Kit Kat Klub, The Cave. EVERY club had this song going on.
Yep! Same age
December 1986- My friends and I read in a alternative/wave magazine that Wang Chung would be performing at Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, Co in Jan. 1987. We make the trek by car 125 miles from Sterling Co to Denver in a snow storm that was quickly turning worse. We get to Rainbow Music Hall to find out that the concert was canceled due to weather. We had called that morning and all was fine. We ended up eating at Wendy's and driving for five hours back to Sterling which would have normally taken two hours in good weather. That's my Wang Chung story.
This is not music. This is crap, because its age-restricted
You know you are old when you remember the 80s song from the actual 80s and not from Vice City
Yeah i guess that makes me old, given that vice city only came out barely 10 years after the 80s ended.SOOOOOO old
mauigio vice city DID NOT come out in the 90's.
Ok you got me 12 years after.
mauigio how did I get you 12 years after?
it has not been 12 years yet.
I guess I'm old then... I just turned 40 :D
With the opening notes of this song, I'm mentally transported to the city pool when I was kid - hearing this song playing over the radio as we splashed around, blissfully unaware of the future...
fuck yes.
As a kid playing GTA and my sister would always join just to drive around and listen to these masterpieces. The good old days
GTA vice city, obrigado por me fazer amar essa música 🤙🏼🇧🇷💚🇧🇷 nostalgia bateu!
Que bom que existe gta para está geração que nasceu de 2000 para ca para fazer gostar destas músicas porque eu que nasci nos anos 90 conheci estas músicas a partir de discos de vinils e MTV kkk
@@adrianogarciaespanhol curto muito músicas dos anos 80/90. Tenho espírito de século 20
@@EduardoMonteiro7 que bom irmão que vc não se deixou levar por estas músicas atuais sem graça parabéns tens bom gosto.
@@adrianogarciaespanhol jamais, bro. Gosto de músicas com letras que transcende a alma. Poluição sonora não é comigo.
viva o Vice City !!!
de todos os gtas que existem e por mais que sejam perfeitos e incríveis
eu quero o Vice City SEMPRE, porque é minha raiz, jogava muito, não é só por causa dos flashbacks, o Vice City em si, amo demais !! ♥🔥
e sou fã de flashbacks !!! 🍃
Life was much moor easyer back in the 80s
I Fucken love the 80’s 😁
Blake Flaten hell yeah man
Take me back home pls get me outta here 😂
I wanna go back.
@@damienthompson4423 me 2
Yeah. Song writers and artists had talent back then.
en mis dias de prepa ponia la alarma en el canal de INFOTV donde solo eran canciones viejitas y cuando escucho esta cancion me trae esos recuerdos
I've said it before, Saturday night, cheap wine, but good wine, '80's music on youtube. Maybe some '80's movies later on...BEST DECADE EVER!!! I miss my friends from those days. I absolutely miss the music.
Airbender 4, yes, I get horrible melancholy when I think about how great the 80s were, especially the music... they were full of optimism. The world now is much more cynical and dysfunctional.
I'm 53 years old and feel exactly the same, I miss all disco night dances
Good ideeas my friend
Agreed 1000%. The 1980's music was so different from so many bands-- they seemed to use all the instruments they could get their hands on to layer the sound of a song-- used all the tools in the box, so to speak. Now-- not sure I hear anything different in any genre; country sounds the same, pop/rb/soul sounds the same and they use sampling, looping and autotune-- nobody is going to actually convince me they are musicians/singers learning their craft as much as they are convenience and routine. The 1980's are so far above what's going on today, and it's not even close.
Great time for me growing up!
from a time when everyone knew they needed a video...but had no idea what to put in it.
well said! :o)
so many videos from those days had nothing to do with what they were singing about in the song; too funny
and it still worked somehow!
Moments like these are why I keep coming back to TH-cam, depsite the horrible fighting between complete strangers. I don't even know why but i had this song just pop into my head today. It reminds me of much happier days. Thank you to the person who kindly posted it, I appreciate it very much.
Just experienced this today! Here I am! 😂 Such great music!
This was a GoooD Song back in the 80’s,… I was young & Now I’m 70yrs old and I Still be Rocking & Rolling
(つ☯ᗜ☯)つ💖💙💜
Simpler times! Love the memories! ❤
The nostalgia is strong on this one 🖖 The 1980s so long old friend
"Age-restricted video" Why? For showing warplanes?
My guess is 1:02
The libraries at both my middle and high schools were also our public libraries. (Extremely small town..) A book was "redlined" when an adult would report that it was inapprioriate by age or just was 'questionable'. The recommendations weren't vetted in any way. The librarian simply took a red sharpie and drew a line through the shelfing tag. In other words most were verboten to us students on the advice of elderly women with a lot of cats and even more bitterness. Probably their racist book ever was Gone With The Wind...
I see these women behind the warning on this video.
the lead singer's just too sexy
The unclothed children, probably.
I was wondering the same thing
Ahh the 80s! The only time in history when it was acceptable to tuck your sweater into your trousers
And the only time it was acceptable to wear a plain t shirt with a suit coat.
With the sleeves rolled up.......
Yes 😂👌
No no never has been and if there’s any justice in the universe never will be 😛😏
Lol..exactly 💖
Well to be fair, the fashion of the 80's was recovering from the fashion of the 70's, which were dark times indeed.
This song predates GTA Vice City by 18 years and now we are 19 years past that god time flies by fast.
😮
TIMELESS 時代を超えた
I get annoyed with those get upset, because Vice city brought we here, I mean not everybody and especially the teenage generation who played GTA Vice city (when came released), we were not had the chance to live the whole eighties age, (even many wasn't borned yet), so this was an way to re-discover this magnificie music, so proudly, GTA Vice city brought me here.
Gabriel Sulmonetti Exactly! This was a fucking awesome time be a kid. Anyone who wasn't alive during this time could not understand it. The music and movies of the 80s are pretty much the best way to project those feelings. Not hating on GTA Vice City at all. They have really good taste in music. And glad youngsters have an outlet to learn about that special time/era in pop culture. There was such diversity and creativity in the 80s. I want to rip my ears off when I hear what's on the radio stations today.
Gabriel Sulmonetti I agree with you i'm glad that GTA exposed this generation to 80's music like you said some of these kids weren't born during the 80's and the 90's
I got you, well enjoy, the 1980's was a blast for me ass a young boy ten those teenage years. Nothing but neon lights everywhere and the club scene was awesome. I miss those days, but like another great song by Prince during those times said, Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last and that went for the 1980's.
I lived the 80s,they weren't that good,rose coloured spectacles!
Its not like its not on the radio
this song is so 80s that if 80s had legs it would be a centipede.
cocaine's a hell of a drug.
Sounds more like LSD
I hate 80
GTA needs to revisit Vice City!!
+dirtybird Vice City with the quality of GTA 5? I'll go blind because I would not see others cities than this one again!
+Andreas Kowalsky Vice City at Ultra HD on PC. Now that would be awesome. Throw in every Top 10 track from the '80s and I'll pay $150 for it.
+dirtybird Dont worry bro just wait some years maybe 3 or 2 And let the magic begins ;) GTA VI
Boss Rokstar V I believe that. So you think the first trailer will be for 2017 or 2018? And the game one year later? ^^ LOL Rockstar's hardworking!
Andreas Kowalsky
Ofc bro look what result they got with GTA V More then 300 Million copies selled in the first fucking weak!! Just wait and yes. it will be for 2017 and then BOOM Headshot GTA VI or another cool name i hope the game is set in the 80's again or at least the 90's
take me back there ,I was15 and free as a bird.
As long as everybody has fun tonight, then everybody will wang chung tonight.
FaceRip I ate some laChoy earlier 😀
LaChoy? How did that work out for you? Was it good?
Yeeeessss 😀 hoping that you realize I bought the kit to make it at the store
I'm not following you. You bought a kit, but then you made it at the store? Please explain yourself. If you refuse to explain yourself, penalties will be created and enforced.
Grocery store like Winn Dixie in their ethnic foods aisle.
This song reminds me of GTA Vice City
cocolexc that’s cos it was on gta vc
Malibu Club anyone?
Marcus Godfrey Lets go. Haven’t been there in ages
Executing people to wang Chung was my favorite
Yes jeje
Malibu Club!
indeed
damn right
fucking barmaid with this shotgun ^^
Fo real
i just played the bloody game few mins ago and i just had to listen to this song
I still have the 45 single of this. I'm glad vinyl records are back!
I used to work at a pet store and sometimes we’d have the 80s station on. Me and my friend Sean would hear this song sometimes and wonder what the hell the lyrics were. He died a few years back, not even 30. Now whenever this (or a few other songs) pop up, I think of him. Rest in peace buddy
Ah, things were so much simpler in the days of PS2.
+lemmh2 I get a PS2 vibe for some reason....was this song in a certain game?
+Hamza Raj GTA: Vice City
+Hamza Raj also featured in blood and bone 2009
+lemmh2 Yeah, isn't that the truth
+lemmh2 still in those days...
Wang Chung was one of the masters of 1980s music video romanticism. Masterpiece.
This song is stuck in my head…
So much better than today's rubbish, TAKE ME BACK TO 84...NOW!!
why?
WTF do you mean why?
+ZefphX Gamez (ZMbE ZefpheX) too many reasons to explain why. I'll tell ya when you're older, junior
Peculiar that you mention '84... I tell people that's the very year when good original music started to die a slow death. Plenty of exciting and talented musicians popped up after 84 extending the era of great music for several more years but by the time I got to high school, 95% of the people were all about rap.
MegaDyneSystems I don't know what the hell you were listening to then. The majority of the 80's was SUPERB and music didn't to start to nosedive till the 90's. As for todays stuff, don't even get me started.
anyone wanna go down to the malibu club, have a beer and making new friends, aswell as
dance with bikers, construction workers, soldiers and police officers?
Meeeeee pleaseeeeee
I miss Vice City so fucking much
ha village people
+johnny knoxville I miss those days playing vice city with my cousins. Vice city will forever be my favorite game.
+johnny knoxville You made my day! hahaha
+johnny knoxville Nah man. I can't stand Kent Paul and his jabbering.
I’ve thought for 35 years that these guys “were cool on Christ”.
You're not the only one. I thought they were singing, "We were cool on Christ . . . . that's all dead now."
I still do
@@2d40 Youŕe saying they made it sound that way deliberately?
I thought we Was Up In Vice! I was like Ayyyy Vice city 😂😂
@@2d40 me too,that's what he says
I miss the the 80s. JCrew the GAP. Hanging in malls. Friday night dances. Beach summers. Freestyle biking. Skateboarding.
"As promised earlier it is Wang Chung and Dance hall Days."

Sorry mate, kinda sprung that on me, could you say it again?
2, 4, 6, 8, James May
Hammond : Can you repeat that once again James?
James: Just play something else then!
Yees man! Stuck in my head for years and James may brought it to life
That is why i started listerning to this song for
GTA Vice City has brought me here, and I regret nothing!
Any one in 2024 with full of nostalgia vibes ,✌️🫰🥹, god I love Vice City game, that drove my childhood 😭❤️, god knows why old songs are sooo good !!! If you reading this , 'you are a beautiful person' :)
I was young, early 20's, when this came out, full of energy and ambition just like the youth in the 1940's in the video. Time, where does it go.
Please bring back the 80's Music!!!!
As you wish...
