Massive massive applause & kudos to Chris & Neil for giving our beautiful Dusty one last crack of the whip. That voice. Those hands. Those eyes. Still miss you, Dusty.
Jeez' Kev.... mize well Hit the Bath Tub' & "Open Up The Wrists" over/dat ' "BUZZ-KILL" Opine........ WE Feel ((STRONGLY!!) that the ENTIRE Experience & Vibe is MAGIC!! 🎼🕶
I got to sing with her at a piano bar in the 80s… I was in the Navy and had no idea who she was at the time. I just knew she had an amazing voice. I looked and sang like Georgia Micheal… they would introduce me as him when I sang 😂
This is true. And whoever arranges the music in their songs is a genius. Just listen to the intro to "It's A Sin". Who thought of that and composed the sound?
Ursprünglich hatten die PSB Tina Turner im Kopf, aber dann wollten sie nicht wegen Tina einen Hit landen, sondern wegen der Musik. Aber ich kann mir auch Tina sehr gut dafür vorstellen. Originally, the PSB had Tina Turner in mind, but then they didn't want to have a hit because of Tina, but because of the music. But I can also imagine Tina doing it very well.
This WHOLE Album was put on my 1001 Albums u need 2 hear before u die. SO GLAD it was a suggestion, Dusty's VOICE is Amazing on this Track!! R.I.P., Ms. Springfield!!
The great, late, Dusty Springfield in duet with Neil. She adds color and soul to it and soars in the second half of the song. I'm so glad the PSBs believed in her and pushed for her to be on the record with them. It brought Britain's most talented female singer back to the spotlight where she belonged. RIP, Miss Dusty.
I saw them in concert two weeks ago in Athens. My 18 yo daughter who knows all the lyrics of the PSB songs was with me. It was pure heaven. It was unforgettable.
I remember Dusty Springfield, in a blog, writing about her illness . She suffered from breast cancer. I was very impressed by this. Dusty died in March 1999. Two months after her death, my sister Anneke was diagnosed with breast cancer. A very dark period had begun.... Anneke died in December 2002. Seeing this video makes me feel good. It's good to see a cheerfully singing Dusty.
W pełni zgadzam się z Tobą. Zarówno utwór jak i teledysk. Zawsze kiedy go puszczam powstrzymuję łzy. To moje młode lata i moja muzyka. Pozdrawiam serdecznie ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Polska🇵🇱
Never hated them but, found them mediocre at best. DS brought the Scandal soundtrack to new levels. There were many bands better than the PSB at the time.
This is, and I mean it, one of the greatest songs I ever heard in my life. The melody is so rich and well arranged. And those vocals!! I love how Neil and Dusty's voices blend together so effortlessly. Notice how Dustys part is full of raw emotion, especially at the end, while Neil has this calm, cool-headed background lines. Also, the video is so beautiful ❤ everything about this song is perfect.
I can't get over how great Dusty is after so many years. Her voice. Her beauty. Her presence. No wonder Neil insisted on her and her only for this song. That tells me something I never knew and that is how smart he is.
I met him back in 1989 whilst serving in the Royal Military Police. He was in Chichester, our Training Centre was there. He had visited the Chichester Festival Theatre. I was on a course there whilst stationed in Germany. He was a lovely fella, a pleasure to meet. What you saw was what you got. And yes I'm a fan too
This is the most beautiful, haunting song ever. It has supported me emotionally for more than 35 years. Thank you to The Pet Shop Boys for keeping my head above water for so many years. Repsect.
Rest in heavenly peace Dusty Springfield You were a legend 👏 I remember when this was released in '87 1987 was a great year for music 🔣 80s music is absolutely amazing 👏 😍 Unbeatable
I remember, too. I was 11 and I had got my own record player/dual cassette tape deck/radio for Christmas. I recorded music off of the radio all night while doing homework and reading YM and Sassy! And Michael J. Fox was on the cover of Teen Beat!
nooo, it was an awful time that just produced great art, because all those artists were able to sense that ugly meagerness people hid behind their curtains and gave deep expressions to that feeling of superficial cheer covering some sadness or melancholy.
You should find a radio station within your region. There probably is one. I have heard this on an station in my area that plays all 70s 80s and some 90s music, there's gotta be one in your area, look for it. Or there's spotify
Was that nasty remark to Jennie Rose really necessary? Music is a very personal thing and we all have different tastes, likes and dislikes. What's to get so incensed about?
No doubt at all, the 80's+ 90's best time in every way, now that i'm 58 years young i still listen to the music of the eighties and ninties and really enjoy it, so many good memories coming up with.
For me, i think 1979-87 was the best time, with 88-95 coming a close second, and then 98-2003 a close third for music. I was 11 when this cane out in August 1987
There is no doubt that Dustry Springfield helped this song to become the second biggest hit of the Pet Shop Boys. She had great success in the 60's but this was the surprising return of Dusty in ''88. Gotta give this gal some credit! What a talent. s
That part with Dusty Springfield singing as the song is ending still gives me chills. I also love that the lyrics pose a question instead of giving us a statement.
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!🇬🇧
@@soudontlikeme It doesn't matter how old you are.......being on here and listening to these tunes, takes us to a place where we ache to go again......and we will be forever young.!
The sheer volume of great music that the Pet Shop Boys produced is truly amazing. Hit after hit. Classic after classic, and none it has become dated or obsolete at all. It's as cool and fresh today as it was way back then.
Discovered this beauty over the summer after hearing my dad listening to it. I keep coming back to it, when I found out dusty was in it I was even more obsessed!
The 80s, the best music, the best videos, the best singers male and female, the best groups, the best duos!! The best of everything in music in the 20th century and still in this century!!
Dusty was not shown until 1:38 in the video even though she was singing in some parts of the song before then. This shows how legendary she was. They made her scene special by opening a curtain. Dusty was incredible and the best female singer Britain ever produced.
80's songs never grow old. So much emotion and thought put into the lyrics. The music videos were alot better its like watching a moment in time someone's life.
I was lucky to be born in 84, a year which has been picked by many as the best year for music ever. Nowadays? It’s all absolute rubbish filled with degenerates without any actual talent.
@@LexingtonDeville984 Im in a same boat with you on that thought. Im also made in 1984. Allthough i have to admit i didnt see the greatness of these masterpieces untill i was about 28+. Then again, they say that human brain keeps avolving till 27 or so. Anybody who didnt screw up their brain before that should make a difference between trash and art.
This song debuted in August of 1987....33 years ago. I remember my mom playing this song all the time as a kid. She loves both the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty.
Because most so called artists today have too much technology to assist them. There's not much creativity, today. The Super Bowl halftime show was a perfect example.
Good question. For me personally the 80s was the LAST great decade for music. The DIVERSITY was AMAZING back then. For me the music was more creative and the music videos where soooo much better than nowadays.
In 70s and 80s talented guys wanted to make music and they ruled the record companies,; today record companies rule the artists and the results are not natural because if you have good looks, the record company boss says yes you can show your tits and get million views so why need a nice voice, talented musician?
🤔🤔 The music industry is not about the MUSIC like it was decades ago. Music as we know it now has turned into a BEAUTY CONTEST.. All you really need now is looks and a nice body.
A really perfectly crafted song. the Production was sooo good. the way they floated Dusty's vocals in the beginning verse....and then gave her her spotlight verse...a really nice touch and respect for her. She left this life with this last piece of her legacy. There is a video here on TH-cam with them Pet Shop boys doing this at an awards show...and Dusty came out and joined them!
The 80s were a great decade for music, and never produced much better than these guys! They epitomise the 80s for me! Dusty Springfield's swan song on this track makes me choke up always!
Whenever I see Dusty,my day immediately brightens up. She got that quality that's so rare,when you see her the world lights up,and it's 100% real,she's the true definition of "positivity". Though she was one of the pioneer singers of Rock'n'Roll,but she never really gotten enough recognition while she was alive,still it never stopped her being the sunshine she was. Love you,Dusty,thanks for your voice and your image!
The Dusty in Memphis album earned her the lifelong respect of R&B's top artists including Aretha who recognised her unique style and phrasing. The greatest UK female artist of her or any subsequent generation.
I wonder to what extent people in the 1980s realised they had been living a golden decade for music. I was just a kid back then, but still I can remember some tunes aired at home from tune or played on TV. 1980s music? Definitely my favorite.
I can't say. It was a decade of a lot of good music. Perhaps we were living at the end of a generation that still prevailed in quality, rhythm and lyrics to be successful. Poetry and Melody was necessary. The biggest question however is, why did this end?
In the '80s me and my friends liked the '60s and '70s music and not the current '80s stuff of the time. Now I am discovering the '80s music was actually really good.
The 80's had the second British Invasion of music led by the Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, ABC, Billy Idol, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, etc. It was wonderful times especially watching videos on MTV.
True and that was also the last great generation of British acts. After that they've produced a few good ones on and off but never a whole generation like the one that came along in the eighties. These days Adele passes as the best Britain has to offer, which says it all.
+Pritish Appadoo. The first British Invasion of music was of course led by the Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones, in the 1960's. Since the 1980's, there is yet another British Invasion.
+Reva Nelson Remember David Byrne and the Talking Heads? Unfortunately the song that always pops into my head whether I want it or not is "Same As It Ever Was" which is accompanied by David repeatedly banging his head like a crazy person.
+Reva Nelson Ah, the salad days of MTV when they played music videos. Now, it`s overrun by stupid `reality`tripe. Ridiculousness (just as moronic as the show`s name) that catfish nonsense and a whole host of programs that don`t cost a lot to make. Yet another reason to wish for the 80`s to come back.
Today is Christmas Day, December 25th, 2024. I just happened upon this song of so long ago. Dusty is ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. Thank you UK, for this LEGENDARY icon. There will NEVER be another like Dusty.
Thanks for uploading! An absolute belter of a song. I’m 45yo and heard this for the first time last night. I thought the days of me finding new tunes I love was over. Not quite yet!
This song is so special to me and helped me through hard times like so many other songs from the Pet Shop Boys (Being boring, Suburbia, Domino Dancing etc.)...I was a child in the 80s and Neil's voice gave me so much comfort...I just love the Pet Shop Boys...thank you so much! ♥
This song brings tears to my eyes, it's helped me through the worst times of my life.🤡 Do you understand how dull this comment makes you sound? It makes you sound like a 3 decades shut-in. Good song no doubt, but Jesus it ain't life altering.
I've never understood how someone could worship artists the way people do. News flash the Pet Shop Boys do sit to take a dump, and occasionally they fart, and have diarrhea, just the same as you.
Was in high school when this was released. Was obsessed with Pet Shop Boys. Then I heard that smoky voice and became a instant high school Dusty Springfield groupie!

It drives me nuts when people dare to refer to Pet Shop Boys as "one hit wonders." These guys are STILL GOING! Their body of work is impressive.
So true! 👍
They are one of the reasons that made new wave jams exist ❤
They had quite a few good songs.
They had multiple huge hits off their first album ... let alone what came after ... "It's A Sin" is an all timer
I've never, ever heard of the Pet Shop Boys referred to as one hit wonders. Maybe that's an American thing. Here in the UK they're as popular as ever.
Massive massive applause & kudos to Chris & Neil for giving our beautiful Dusty one last crack of the whip. That voice. Those hands. Those eyes. Still miss you, Dusty.
And what a fabulous last crack of the whip from Dusty - fabulous!
Amen

Great collaboration of Pet Shop Boys and Dusty. This was a dream duet. RIP Dusty, she is as much of a treasure as they are.

Brilliant piece of music. Whoever thought adding Dusty Springfield to this song would be a great move, was a genius.
That would be Neil and Chris. They delayed recording this song until they could locate and contact Dusty.

This is one of the greatest songs ever. Never gets old.

You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world!🇬🇧
Me too!!❤
Me too, cept I'm 60 now. Such good ol' tunes! I also like New Order n Joy Division.
@@soudontlikeme That's a great tune!
@@soudontlikeme It doesn't matter how old you are.......being on here and listening to these tunes, takes us to a place where we ache to go again......and we will be forever young.!
Me too!!!!! 1983 grad 💗
The sheer volume of great music that the Pet Shop Boys produced is truly amazing. Hit after hit. Classic after classic, and none it has become dated or obsolete at all. It's as cool and fresh today as it was way back then.
What a tune. Here we are in 2022. Good music never ages.
Indeed great music is timeless (never ages) and we are still listening to em in 2022 post Pandemic. Hello from Sam India.
Discovered this beauty over the summer after hearing my dad listening to it. I keep coming back to it, when I found out dusty was in it I was even more obsessed!
You flte geeeeet me x
How co
With a tot of whiskey this is good stuff .........
Music will probably never be this good again.
it does exist but it's not in the charts.
Never
No video will ever be this beautiful or creative again.
The 80s, the best music, the best videos, the best singers male and female, the best groups, the best duos!! The best of everything in music in the 20th century and still in this century!!
@@stevenklein3195 Amen! I couldn't have said it any better.
This song is timeless and beautiful! All the women in the beginning of this video are so beautiful. Have a blessed day everyone❤
What did we mere mortals do , to deserve this absolutely stunning masterpiece ? It doesn’t get any better than this ! Rest in peace darling DUSTY XXX
Ma'am Dusty "s voice so amazing
I’m glad they included Dusty Springfield in this song. She is truly an amazing singer.
There are two versions of this song/video, with and without Dusty.
The original video for this always included Dusty!
She was a good singer R.I.P DUSTY
GONE TOO SOON
Beautiful and gifted mary o'brien was an irish blonde with a black.voice
What a wonderful time 1987 88....it makes me cry. Nostalgia 😢
I know that feeling...lying in bed listening to this with a mixture of nostalgia and longing for those innocent days❤
I know what you mean.
Me tooo my son 🥵🍻🕊️😇🎸👣🐔
the opening 1:40 minutes of the music video is genius
Me too
Bloody hell, Pet Shop Boys were amazing. Without ever being a big fan, I couldn't even say my favourite tune of theirs. They had so many. Genius.
Dusty was not shown until 1:38 in the video even though she was singing in some parts of the song before then. This shows how legendary she was. They made her scene special by opening a curtain. Dusty was incredible and the best female singer Britain ever produced.
....i agree...she is singular.....
Absolutely stunning!❤️
RIP Mrs. Springfield and your beaultiful voice.
Does she died?
Yes totally agree she was an icon of Beuty.
@@robertlarson713 so what??
@@elavefelix1252 yes, breast cancer.. :(
I thought it was Shirley from eastenders
I love it when newer bands invite old school talent for collaborations. Such respect for the greats.
Neil Tennant was a massive Dusty fan, he was ecstatic when she agreed to take part
Nobody can sing like Dusty, she was something else.
Good 80s pop song. Dusty Springfield R.I.P
Dusty Springfield R.I.P. the Pet Shop Boys definitely had class
80's songs never grow old. So much emotion and thought put into the lyrics. The music videos were alot better its like watching a moment in time someone's life.
Yes 80s music was more exciting
U so right!.........👍
I was lucky to be born in 84, a year which has been picked by many as the best year for music ever. Nowadays? It’s all absolute rubbish filled with degenerates without any actual talent.
@@LexingtonDeville984 Im in a same boat with you on that thought. Im also made in 1984. Allthough i have to admit i didnt see the greatness of these masterpieces untill i was about 28+. Then again, they say that human brain keeps avolving till 27 or so. Anybody who didnt screw up their brain before that should make a difference between trash and art.
I still prefer 80s music over anything now
When my mum passed away this was one of the songs that has helped me to keep going.... thank you 🙏 Dusty & Pet shop boys 💝🙏
God bless you and your mum and your wonderful taste in music!! 🙌💖🎶
The chorus line got me on this one. My husband passed away, and I just don’t understand.
I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope you have a lot of friends and family to get you through this difficult time.
I'm so sorry for your loss
This song debuted in August of 1987....33 years ago. I remember my mom playing this song all the time as a kid. She loves both the Pet Shop Boys and Dusty.
Can't figure out why this sort of great music is no longer mainstream.
Because most so called artists today have too much technology to assist them. There's not much creativity, today. The Super Bowl halftime show was a perfect example.
They were actually pretty popular in the 80's and 90's receiving radio play too.... sadly times have changed my friend.
Good question. For me personally the 80s was the LAST great decade for music. The DIVERSITY was AMAZING back then. For me the music was more creative and the music videos where soooo much better than nowadays.
In 70s and 80s talented guys wanted to make music and they ruled the record companies,; today record companies rule the artists and the results are not natural because if you have good looks, the record company boss says yes you can show your tits and get million views so why need a nice voice, talented musician?
🤔🤔 The music industry is not about the MUSIC like it was decades ago. Music as we know it now has turned into a BEAUTY CONTEST.. All you really need now is looks and a nice body.
A really perfectly crafted song. the Production was sooo good. the way they floated Dusty's vocals in the beginning verse....and then gave her her spotlight verse...a really nice touch and respect for her. She left this life with this last piece of her legacy. There is a video here on TH-cam with them Pet Shop boys doing this at an awards show...and Dusty came out and joined them!
And what a fabulous last crack of the whip from Dusty - fabulous!
Even in 2024 this song still applies!
Possibly the greatest pop song of 1987, and certainly the best produced
Possibly the greatest pop group of the past 40 years and certainly the best produced and best remixed.
Sure...one of best pop songs about '80 's ,i repeat
@@annaritaranalli2902 yes
1988
@@Lanutriatraviesa Released on the 10th August, 1987 in the UK.
Words cannot express how much I adore this song. It will forever be ICONIC!!!
The 80s were a great decade for music, and never produced much better than these guys! They epitomise the 80s for me! Dusty Springfield's swan song on this track makes me choke up always!
This my all time favorite from the Petshop boys...Dusty killed it in this song!!!
The last minute of this record still gives me chills, after all this time. Absolute masterful pop record.
Barry Gibb singing at the end? Not but sounds like him does it not?
One of great pop songs released in 1987.
What a year!
Best year of my life.
Always..............Loving .THIS.....KISSES.....................
I need a time machine right now!! To go back to the 80’s and 90’s music was so much more enjoyable with way more talented singers then today!
your'e sooooo right 💛
Sorry Tom, love this song and pet shop boys but 60’s & 70’s was the time for real music ☝️
😭🇮🇹😍❤️❤️❤️
I got it.my son I'm coming from the future 👽🎸🍷🍻🎶🌮
Let's just make a stop starting at the 60s, 70, 80 and 90s 😀..
Whenever I see Dusty,my day immediately brightens up. She got that quality that's so rare,when you see her the world lights up,and it's 100% real,she's the true definition of "positivity". Though she was one of the pioneer singers of Rock'n'Roll,but she never really gotten enough recognition while she was alive,still it never stopped her being the sunshine she was. Love you,Dusty,thanks for your voice and your image!
The Dusty in Memphis album earned her the lifelong respect of R&B's top artists including Aretha who recognised her unique style and phrasing. The greatest UK female artist of her or any subsequent generation.
dusty is pure sunshine thats for sure, and terribly underrated and unknown here in the americas :c
I loved the 80's. The 2nd British invasion was amazing. Culture Club, Duran Duran, Pet Shop Boys..... They defined my teen years.
Don't forget Wham!, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Breathe. Thompson Twins, etc.!
Psychedelic Furs, Wang Chung, Pet Shop Boys etc etc yeasss
And you forget The Hottie Samantha Fox.
Tears for Fears, The Outfield …..
I dedicate this to the conductor of heartifical dreams Jennifer Crawford
I wonder to what extent people in the 1980s realised they had been living a golden decade for music. I was just a kid back then, but still I can remember some tunes aired at home from tune or played on TV. 1980s music? Definitely my favorite.
We thought that vibe would never end. 😢
I can't say. It was a decade of a lot of good music. Perhaps we were living at the end of a generation that still prevailed in quality, rhythm and lyrics to be successful. Poetry and Melody was necessary. The biggest question however is, why did this end?
In the '80s me and my friends liked the '60s and '70s music and not the current '80s stuff of the time. Now I am discovering the '80s music was actually really good.
この曲が懐かしくて好きです、日本より愛を込めて。
Great song then, and now. I'm 58 and I remember the '80s like it was yesterday. We'll never see a decade like that again.
Oh Dusty Springfield can just melt the coldest heart with that voice she was just incredible
The 80's had the second British Invasion of music led by the Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, ABC, Billy Idol, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode, etc. It was wonderful times especially watching videos on MTV.
True and that was also the last great generation of British acts. After that they've produced a few good ones on and off but never a whole generation like the one that came along in the eighties.
These days Adele passes as the best Britain has to offer, which says it all.
+Pritish Appadoo. The first British Invasion of music was of course led by the Beatles, the Who, the Rolling Stones, in the 1960's. Since the 1980's, there is yet another British Invasion.
+Reva Nelson Remember David Byrne and the Talking Heads? Unfortunately the song that always pops into my head whether I want it or not is "Same As It Ever Was" which is accompanied by David repeatedly banging his head like a crazy person.
+Reva Nelson Ah, the salad days of MTV when they played music videos. Now, it`s overrun by stupid `reality`tripe. Ridiculousness (just as moronic as the show`s name) that catfish nonsense and a whole host of programs that don`t cost a lot to make. Yet another reason to wish for the 80`s to come back.
+lonelyheroine. Agreed and I stopped watching MTV years ago with reality shows.
Today is Christmas Day, December 25th, 2024.
I just happened upon this song of so long ago. Dusty is ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT. Thank you UK, for this LEGENDARY icon. There will NEVER be another like Dusty.
Evening! Whoever is here is listening to this song. And that, apparently makes you and I legends!
DEFINITELY ! !
GREATEST SONG ! ! TELLS IT ALL.
THE TRUTH ! !
Bless you
Love your positivity! One of my favorite songs ever!
Yesssssssss well said
@@misspeplo3387 i
A Collaboration that's a made in Heaven, and the Pet Shop Boys having Dusty Springfield Vocals equals a Epitaph for all us to remember ♥
That was really nice of them to give her career a boost before she left but they have always been a class act in my book.
34 Years Ago! No way!
All the beautiful ladies are now in their 50's and prob still beautiful.
R.I.P Dusty (1939-1999)
RIP? No way man.
The women are freakin beautifull in this video! Didn't appreciate it when I was a kid. RIP Dusty you're wonderful in this song.
and still flat chested. u have to be
You sure they are XX?
A true legend she dominated this song love the boys for looking her up
Thanks for uploading! An absolute belter of a song. I’m 45yo and heard this for the first time last night. I thought the days of me finding new tunes I love was over. Not quite yet!
This song is so special to me and helped me through hard times like so many other songs from the Pet Shop Boys (Being boring, Suburbia, Domino Dancing etc.)...I was a child in the 80s and Neil's voice gave me so much comfort...I just love the Pet Shop Boys...thank you so much! ♥
I bought their “Best Of…” on audio cassette!! Love their music!
👏👏👏
This song brings tears to my eyes, it's helped me through the worst times of my life.🤡 Do you understand how dull this comment makes you sound? It makes you sound like a 3 decades shut-in. Good song no doubt, but Jesus it ain't life altering.
I've never understood how someone could worship artists the way people do. News flash the Pet Shop Boys do sit to take a dump, and occasionally they fart, and have diarrhea, just the same as you.
I own one of the EMUs they used to record this song with, can I get some unwarranted worship too😂 Just kidding folks.
This Song is a masterpiece
Ditto
Wow. The Pet Shop Boys. Opportunities, West End Girls, Later Tonight, What Have Done To Deserve This. The album was a Masterpiece.
Was in high school when this was released. Was obsessed with Pet Shop Boys. Then I heard that smoky voice and became a instant high school Dusty Springfield groupie!
Never heard of this song before, i have to admitt Dusty's part in this song is pure perfection.
Never?! Dude!!!
This song is unique and iconic! It never gets old!
Never heard it?
