REMASTERED IN HD! Music video by Robert Palmer performing Addicted To Love. (C) 1985 The Island Def Jam Music Group #RobertPalmer #AddictedToLove #Remastered
I literally bumped into Robert Palmer on a street in Adelaide Australia on a drunken Saturday night in the 80s as he was walking out of about the only late night club we had there then. I was very young and pretty drunk, he was dressed immaculately in a suit and tie and could have been upset and angry with me but was wonderfully polite and friendly. Has always stayed with me as my brush with fame to this day in my late 50s. RIP Mr Palmer and thanks for yet another great 80s memory 😊
He really had it going on !loved it ,still wanna get up and totally gym to simply irresistible baby ! and someday I wouldn't mind seeing if I'm gonna have to face it
British Vogue Editor Liz Tilberis put him in that suit, and those dreamy models in long-sleeved high necked plain black dresses and sensible heels. At the time, if you worked in a bank, an office, or a department store and you were a woman you wore a dress, your legs covered, dress shoes (read high heels), big curly hair, and this gorgeous make-up, but it gets tiresome.
Let's meet the girls as they are in the video, from ..Julie Pankhurst-keyboards, Patty Kelly-guitar, Mak Gilchrist-bass, Julia Bolino-guitar and Kathy Davies-drum/partially hidden in the back. the girls as they are today, ..Julie-works in retail and is a mother, Patty-landscape designer with 2 children, Kathy-lives in Thailand where she does charity work, Mak-still models in England and Julia-hair and makeup artist.
This was out just after I met my husband Gareth. Were together for 34 yrs until I lost him to cancer at 58 yrs old in 2020. This reminds me of you Gar, miss you love......❤❤
"Addicted to Love" is one of the artist's greatest hits. Love this song. It was good in the 1980s and is good in 2023. It has passed the test of time with flying colors. Well done Robert, well done girls. RIP Robert. It's a pity you left so soon.
@@Eddie-ud4bb Oh my God, I didn't know. That's a huge amount. I agree with you, let's hope other smokers will draw conclusions from this for themselves.
Robert Palmer wasn't underrated, he was a star. Sometimes I'm not sure if people understand what underrated means. Robert was a star for sure. Pitty he left us so early....
The 80s…. No home computers. no cell phones, no huge wealth disparity…. Simpler, more organic, slower, cooler, less crowded…. The last decade before the shit started to hit the fan
Those things existed, they just didn't cosume everyone's lives. And there was a wealth disparity, that's why there were plenty of movies depicting it like 'They Live' and 'Trading Places'.
@@LuisCasstle Of course there was wealth disparity. But nothing like today. Top-to-bottom pay ratios were about 30:1, now they are 500:1, 1000:1, and higher. The disparity gets wider and wider with each passing year
chrisbacos To tell you the truth Chris men like Robert Palmer and many others have influenced me in how I dress and present myself. When you are properly dressed and presented you feel like a man not a permanent teenager. Look at him is this video. Like a man.

Well, this is a new spin on the “anyone still listening in 2024” thing. You must have thought a long time before you came up with that one, huh? Sorry, it’s still basically the same old thing.
So much great music from the 80s. When this video aired on MTV the world stopped for a moment in awe. Amazing tune and the women in this video put it over the top. RIP Robert Palmer. Gone way too soon.
Awe is the best word. I remember a 35 year old coworker talking about it when the video came out saying the women were beautiful, white face, the makeup, black outfits, etc. She was so hyped and when I saw it, I was stunned. Great song and video.
Question, please: I recall this as being one of two songs that defined 80s MTV. The other was "Beautiful World" by DEVO. Are there any others that were as prominent (?)
@@JustinBieberiscool20 Sadly, yes. He died of a heart attack in a Paris hotel room where he had been filming a special, Sept 26th, 2003. Miss him SO much!
Nobody makes music like this anymore. Nothing beats the 80s. Robert Palmer, Starship, Wham!, Huey Lewis and the news, Bon Jovi. It was great. Too bad we can't go back.❤😢
Robert Palmer, now THAT was a musician who knew how to entertain... I'd be honored if some retro music fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Elton John, Phil Collins, the GooGoo Dolls, Sarah McClachlan, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
I don't think people realize today how visually groundbreaking this video was. It set off the whole fashion/front light/flash like aesthetic in videos that dominated for 40 years and counter-influenced back to fashion etc.
saw robert palmer live in new york perform this, probably the most mesmerizing show i've ever seen and this song was off the charts in intensity, just brilliant. the dancing might be better in "simply irresistible" but this song rocks. his passing is a great loss to music, RIP robert.

I met Robert very early in his career. I was working at a radio station and he was an artist coming from England. I chatted with him on the air and I was amazed at how much he knew about American rock and roll music. I was delighted to see him become famous and successful a few years later.
I JUST tapped on this.. Not surprised thati had left a comment.. FIVE YEARS.. ago! No follow-up responses so I'm reaching out to YOU. Amazing that your interested in 1985..🤙
Robert's father was Royal Navy and Robert listened to American rock on the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe broadcasts when the family was living in Malta. His father bought Robert a tape recorder as a birthday present and Robert sang into it--and was not displeased with what came out of it when he played it back. The rest is history.
@@Falconlibrary Daniel, Mr. Palmer was a delightful gentleman to visit with. I remember discussing his current musical influences at the time with him. On that occasion in 1975-1976, he had come to America to work with a regional US East Coast rock band known as a Little Feat, a band which featured guitarist and vocalist Lowell George. He also was on a promotional tour for his album, "Sneakin Sally Through the Alley". I told him how much I loved his album and I think he was pleased to hear it. Cheers!
I remember one day the radio played 3 or 4 of his songs back to back and the DJ came on and said if you just joined us Robert died a few hours ago. I was driving a big rig and I had to get off the road for a bit😪. RIP RP🙏🕊
Every time since the morning of 12/9/80 that a DJ has done this while I’m driving - they really ought to ban those damned “Two-fer Tuesdays” - my heart speeds up & I brace myself for an Announcement. While swerving across traffic & onto a side street That Morning after That Night, I was lucky not only to survive, but to avoid causing a major pileup.
Pandora's Box is a cosmetics case. Zeus commanded Hermes to teach her to deceive like a treacherous dog. Hermes presented her to Hephaestus w/ the phil/box. Zeus 'No man should gaze upon the contents of this phil' The tale is told as a lie itself.
My husband and I got married in city hall in 1986- one day in the car we realized we never had a wedding song- my husband said the next song on the radio will be our song- this is it- my kids laugh at us
[Verse 1] The lights are on, but you're not home Your mind is not your own Your heart sweats, your body shakes Another kiss is what it takes You can't sleep, you can't eat There's no doubt, you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another kiss is all you need [Chorus] Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love [Verse 2] You see the signs, but you can't read You're running at a different speed Your heart beats in double time Another kiss and you'll be mine A one-track mind, you can't be saved Oblivion is all you crave If there's some left for you You don't mind if you do [Chorus] Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love [Post-Chorus] Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love [Verse 3] Your lights are on, but you're not home Your will is not your own Your heart sweats your teeth grind Another kiss and you'll be mine [Chorus] Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love [Outro] Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love

My cousin got married the year this song came out and my 81 year old aunt wanted to get up and dance and the dj happened to play this song. All I can say is I had the coolest 81 year old aunt in the world.
One of my favorites! This song instantly reminds me of good times in the 80's. So very fun to sing in Karaoke bars. The Weird Al version is incredibly funny and so well written to fit the tune.
Lyrics: Your lights are on, but you're not home Your mind is not your own Your heart sweats, your body shakes Another kiss is what it takes You can't sleep, you can't eat There's no doubt, you're in deep Your throat is tight, you can't breathe Another kiss is all you need Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love You see the signs, but you can't read You're runnin' at a different speed Your heart beats in double time Another kiss and you'll be mine, a one track mind You can't be saved Oblivion is all you crave If there's some left for you You don't mind if you do Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Your lights are on, but you're not home Your will is not your own You're heart sweats and teeth grind Another kiss and you'll be mine Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
The best 'rockband' ever. Who older this guys get the better they music. I think they still on stage at 90 of age. I really hope so,because... what should the world be without the Rolling Stones!!!!..???
A solid gold classic. We lost him too soon. R I P Robert, keep on giving them a good time up there in heaven. Such a suave gent, always surrounded by beautiful women!
+Jay.C.Fotografie Unfortunately, people in the Commonwealth either drop dead around 50 or live to be 90. Some folks can handle the drinking, some can't. I have to admit, English beer IS good....
I am a short, round 45 year old tired mother...and yet, this song makes me dance in my living room like some sexy 20 year at the club ! LOL...my kids get a kick 😂
Nothing wrong in dancing, lam much older and still like to dance. It's the music 🎵 in your 💜 heart. The good life just don't belong to the 🌱 young💃🎵😍👍👄💿📀
Great singer,songwriter, and I remember when this was on the radio, I am o l d ... loved the girl on the keyboard, fake yes,, who cares ... music is absolute SHIT from the early 90.s. Thanks bro....
What makes the video is how serious Palmer is and how he stays in character. That, and the girl licking her lips. Top 5 all time. No question about it.
If anyone at the restaurant had known cpr, he might still be with us. When it happened, everyone was hoping someone else knew. At table, without anyone who could help.
Robert Palmer was such a pro. Great songs, production and understated but soulful performance style. Sad he died so young but he left us with many classics such as this.
@@michaelbarnes4092 how did he die young he wasn't young. Do you know something I don't know? Seems like y'all might be in some secret douchebag comment illuminati...

A lot of people try so very hard to be this cool, but you can't fake it. Either you have it, or you don't. RIP RP.
He's naturally cool he's one hot dude ❤
its like being batman you do
Cool is be yourself! Yep!
@@charlesday5970 agreed
Y Robert lo tenía TODO. ❤
Marty in 1980s, "We need to go into the future."
Marty in 2024, "We need to go back to 1980s !!"
Right! 😂
You got that right!
I want to go
Robert Palmer looked like a CEO of a Fortune 500 company and all while still making the top video hits of the 1980's! ❤
haha yeah...if I recall he worked with a fashion designer directly in production...can't recall who it was though....guy looked slick...
Lol! He really does
I thought the same thing.
He looks like he did this on his lunch hour.
You're absolutely right 👍👍💐🌺⚘️❤️
And nailing Princess Diana 👍
The Gentleman of Rock... RIP Bobby.😔
he was the BEST !

Robert was a unique artist. He did his own thing and was way ahead of his time.

This gentleman not only sang well, but also had sophisticated taste.
Impeccable taste!!
Oh and his taste in gorgeous girls wasn't bad either!!

You should check out his PowerStation stuff too.

So sad...
You'll see him again on another frequency. 😉🤗 I watch lots of nde videos and your family members and even pets meet you. 😲😊🤗
Robert Palmer...what style, what talent. What a loss was his tragically early passing.

Murdered I believe
RIP.

It's a pity you left so soon.
It is a pity. At least let it be known that he smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day. Hopefully others can learn from that.
@@Eddie-ud4bb Oh my God, I didn't know. That's a huge amount. I agree with you, let's hope other smokers will draw conclusions from this for themselves.

Robert Palmer was totally underrated. I loved his style and his timeless music, especially this song.
Blackjack, 21!!!
Gorgeous.
He could sing
Robert Palmer wasn't underrated, he was a star. Sometimes I'm not sure if people understand what underrated means. Robert was a star for sure. Pitty he left us so early....
He was huge, lol. In the 70s and 80s
Robert Palmer, the James Bond of 80's rock.
Spot on
Nice one "the 007 of rock music" I gotta remember to use that line next time I'm refering to a kick ass singer/group 😁🤣👍👍..!!
🏴🥃🥃🥃yes 🧐
is he alive?
Well said. Well played!
The 80s…. No home computers. no cell phones, no huge wealth disparity…. Simpler, more organic, slower, cooler, less crowded…. The last decade before the shit started to hit the fan
So true
Those things existed, they just didn't cosume everyone's lives. And there was a wealth disparity, that's why there were plenty of movies depicting it like 'They Live' and 'Trading Places'.
@@LuisCasstle
Of course there was wealth disparity. But nothing like today.
Top-to-bottom pay ratios were about 30:1, now they are 500:1, 1000:1, and higher. The disparity gets wider and wider with each passing year
No social meadia
Robert Palmer is still alive, for me. His songs keeps him with us.
Right. He will never die.
The 80s music really has a timeless aesthetic.
apart from his trousers/pants, they are not timeless.
?! - oops. For a second there, I thought you’d written “brainless.”
Let us Facebook
Well?
@@salicemccool9186
You're describing yourself there.
When MTV did this crazy thing and played music videos. Good times.
tis
I miss the old MTV. I'd put it on on Friday after work and play it 'til Monday morning when I went back to work. It's gone to hell now.
Mtv used to put music videos? hahahaha, where did you get that?
betoen I watched it for years.
***** I watched MTV on its very first day...and for years after. They had fantastic music videos.
My fave song of handsome Robert Palmer. Renowned performer. A masterpiece. Timeless. ❤️
The genius of this video is that the girls can never be mistaken for actually playing their instruments. Iconic imagery.
And of this it remains one of my fav 80s video :)
He hated those girls because they were airheads and had to redo the video a million times to get it finally right!
@@guidoseifert5679 Best Halloween costume ever!!
nonsense. They're really into it, altho the keyboard gal seems a bit mechanical.
I don’t think playing music is why they were invited. Robert always had great eye candy.
RIP Robert I miss your voice. You left us some great songs.
He had that effortless coolness...he is really missed.
just look at the understated style of his clothes. Just effortless hip.
That's one thing I really liked at him. If he was alive today he could today's musicians about fashion and style.
chrisbacos To tell you the truth Chris men like Robert Palmer and many others have influenced me in how I dress and present myself. When you are properly dressed and presented you feel like a man not a permanent teenager. Look at him is this video. Like a man.
I like Robert Palmer too but he's wearing a pair of black suit trousers, a black tie and a white shirt. It's not exactly Alexander McQueen is it?
This song still rocks in 2022,RIP Robert Palmer.
YES IT DOES! LOL
Jesus is coming soon to RAPTURE His Believers.
Don't be left behind! The unbelievers will be left behind to endure the antichrist, Man killing demons, and a plethora of ungodly , unimaginable disasters and horrors.
To avoid that horrible 7 years known as The Great Tribulation according to scriptures;
⁹If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
All these volcanoes and earthquakes are signs in the Bible that Jesus spoke of before his second coming. The King is coming soon! 🙌🏻
May The Lord God bless you
Agree with you this song sure gets me moving
Yes absolutely 💯%
@@ilovejesusreignsforever5512 Hell yeah!!!
anyone listening to this in july 2024, you are a blessed person. it sucks that they don't make music like this anymore. thank god for youtube.
Damn it’s July. I’m always late!
Mr Palmer , what up player ? 😂😂 🎉🎉
was hanging around in the 2060s..then decided to dust off the Delorian ...and well.. her i am lol
Some blessing left for listeners in July?
Well, this is a new spin on the “anyone still listening in 2024” thing. You must have thought a long time before you came up with that one, huh? Sorry, it’s still basically the same old thing.
So much great music from the 80s. When this video aired on MTV the world stopped for a moment in awe. Amazing tune and the women in this video put it over the top. RIP Robert Palmer. Gone way too soon.
Yep, shania twain copied it too much success.
Awe is the best word. I remember a 35 year old coworker talking about it when the video came out saying the women were beautiful, white face, the makeup, black outfits, etc. She was so hyped and when I saw it, I was stunned. Great song and video.
Still Relevant EYE and EAR CANDY!
My 5 year old son was mesmerized!!!
As soon as I got home he took me to wait for it to play again.
Question, please: I recall this as being one of two songs that defined 80s MTV. The other was "Beautiful World" by DEVO. Are there any others that were as prominent (?)
If you look closely, you'll notice Robert Palmer is in this video.
🤣
Where?
No shit, really? I just see hot red lipped babes?
They knew how to sell a song
👍

Timeless 👏🥳⭐️
What a great decade the 1980s were.
I grew up in the 70s and 80s aa well. But what a blessing we have youtube nowadays!
The worst decade in music until '00 and everything since.
The absolute best!
No cell phones.
No social media.
Kids actually went outside to play. We were happier and healthier. At least I know how it was.
I grew up in the 1960s and the 80s music was wonderful!
THIS ONE OF THE GREATEST VIDEOS FROM THE 1980'S FOREVER NOW.R.I.P.ROBERT
MTV must have shown this video every 15 minutes when it first came out, never got tired of it and still love it today.
No words can describe how iconic this is. And I’m not even talking about the legs.
ya think!!!!!!
I loved the way Shania Twain parodied this with her "Man I Feel Like a Woman".
@@Pashasmom1 me too, that's where i came from
Yep. It was IT.
You mean there's more than the legs.....hadn't noticed!!
If you pay close attention there's actually music being played over this video.
Has anyone noticed that there is a man singing in this video?
This guy brought "well dressed" back to rock and roll.
Kim Hunter Him and Bryan Ferry both.
Two words: David Bowie!
one of the most, if the not THE most, iconic videos of the 1980's.
One of the coolest and sexiest music videos of all time.
No backup singers in history have ever made blank expressionism look so freaking HOT as this girls!
Jetset906 coolest thing ever
u really want to call them back up singers? i1ll call them the eye candy of the video
Jetset906 ,
They're not back up singers, these were hired models for this video.
They're awesome, Robert was great, RIP
This deserves at least 1 billion more views.
Only, ONLY Robert Palmer could make this Legendary. R.I.P.
Nobody makes music like this anymore. Nothing beats the 80s. Robert Palmer, Starship, Wham!, Huey Lewis and the news, Bon Jovi. It was great. Too bad we can't go back.❤😢
Robert Palmer was and remains forever as the James Bond of Rock & Roll. Rest in Peace Robert you'll be well remembered.
Yes, he was sexy, savory, classy. The absolute 007 of rock n roll.
uh, no no, the 007 of Rock n' Roll is Bryan Ferry
That's a great description!
I like the way you put that!
Robert Palmer is the James Bond of rock multiplied by the number of backup girls.
Yes something tells me he multiplied with all of them. Probably several times.
Rest In Heaven Sir Robert Palmer. Thank you for the fabulous phenomenal great music.. It was/is addictive
Tanja Petties Very true!
His song & this tune is still a hit to this day of 2018. It's important to pass on this type of music into & sharing with in the future.
you mean his great music was...simply irresistible?
didn't know he died so long ago, Im shocked
Robert Palmer, now THAT was a musician who knew how to entertain... I'd be honored if some retro music fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of 80s/90s classic songs on my channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Elton John, Phil Collins, the GooGoo Dolls, Sarah McClachlan, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
Th creator of this video is and will always be a genius! Simple perfection!
when you watch this 35 years later and realize it's the only dance step you ever learned!
is there any other.......lol
😂😂😂 True, here, too!
😂😂😂😂😂 too funny!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Never fails! It’s mygo to dance move every time
.. And, I still haven't learned it..
I don't think people realize today how visually groundbreaking this video was. It set off the whole fashion/front light/flash like aesthetic in videos that dominated for 40 years and counter-influenced back to fashion etc.
A living Pat Nagel painting, as if orchestrated by Michael Mann
@@Lavaman3682Yes! Nagel fan here....
saw robert palmer live in new york perform this, probably the most mesmerizing show i've ever seen and this song was off the charts in intensity, just brilliant. the dancing might be better in "simply irresistible" but this song rocks. his passing is a great loss to music, RIP robert.
Jesus is coming soon to RAPTURE His Believers.
Don't be left behind! The unbelievers will be left behind to endure the antichrist, Man killing demons, and a plethora of ungodly , unimaginable disasters and horrors.
To avoid that horrible 7 years known as The Great Tribulation according to scriptures;
⁹If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
All these volcanoes and earthquakes are signs in the Bible that Jesus spoke of before his second coming. The King is coming soon! 🙌🏻
May The Lord God bless you
What a legend was Robert Palmer was.sadly missed
If only TV’s in the 80’s had the same quality that they do now…this would’ve easily been the most requested video of all time. Props, Mr. Palmer.
I met Robert very early in his career. I was working at a radio station and he was an artist coming from England. I chatted with him on the air and I was amazed at how much he knew about American rock and roll music. I was delighted to see him become famous and successful a few years later.
I JUST tapped on this.. Not surprised thati had left a comment.. FIVE YEARS.. ago! No follow-up responses so I'm reaching out to YOU. Amazing that your interested in 1985..🤙
Robert's father was Royal Navy and Robert listened to American rock on the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe broadcasts when the family was living in Malta. His father bought Robert a tape recorder as a birthday present and Robert sang into it--and was not displeased with what came out of it when he played it back. The rest is history.
@@Falconlibrary Daniel, Mr. Palmer was a delightful gentleman to visit with. I remember discussing his current musical influences at the time with him. On that occasion in 1975-1976, he had come to America to work with a regional US East Coast rock band known as a Little Feat, a band which featured guitarist and vocalist Lowell George. He also was on a promotional tour for his album, "Sneakin Sally Through the Alley". I told him how much I loved his album and I think he was pleased to hear it. Cheers!
Simply GREAT MUSIC!!!!!
Whats amazing is that you met anyone who became famous! I've lived in LA, San Fran, Nashville never met anyone who tried to become a star and made it.
Robert Palmer is a guy who’s music is timeless
the girl pretending to play the organ is SMOKING HOT
Ya think…
So is girl next to her playing the guitar 🎸 with the white guitar strap.
Those legs...
@@nucapaun3849I doubt it.
What do you mean the "one' playing the organ is , man they are all HOT
Robert Palmer without a doubt one of the greatest of all time. A legend. Incomparable! The guy was a walking and singing flawless gem!
Greatest and way under rated tree lyrics were perfect for that time love them remind of alot of issues in the , 80s
I remember one day the radio played 3 or 4 of his songs back to back and the DJ came on and said if you just joined us Robert died a few hours ago. I was driving a big rig and I had to get off the road for a bit😪. RIP RP🙏🕊
I'm a child of the 70s-80s. The legends are slowly disappearing. RIP Mr. Palmer. Drive safely, Mr. Graham.
Every time since the morning of 12/9/80 that a DJ has done this while I’m driving - they really ought to ban those damned “Two-fer Tuesdays” - my heart speeds up & I brace myself for an Announcement. While swerving across traffic & onto a side street That Morning after That Night, I was lucky not only to survive, but to avoid causing a major pileup.
Darrin Graham it hit me like a ton of bricks to at the time 😥
😢
Robert was one of the smoothest singers ever.
Still rocking to this song in 2024. I am 65 years old. Robert palmer is great.
Still addicted to this awesome song. Anyone else still here in 2024🤩
Oh you know it😃
I'm 52 and still living in the 80's because of songs like these 😉
Hell yeah
Pandora's Box is a cosmetics case. Zeus commanded Hermes to teach her to deceive like a treacherous dog. Hermes presented her to Hephaestus w/ the phil/box. Zeus 'No man should gaze upon the contents of this phil'
The tale is told as a lie itself.
YE S!
When MTV was really Music TV. The 80's videos where something else.
For a few years in the 1980’s Robert Palmer was the baddest Brother alive.
100 years from now people are going to think this video was AI generated.
Truth
You dont need to wait a hundred years, the technology is already available!
no one will think in hundred years, rhat we had such great Music, made by Real men❤
....they won't know this Amazing Artist that is appreciated throughout all time smoked lots of cigarettes. They do now.
Well the women look like cyborgs lol
My husband and I got married in city hall in 1986- one day in the car we realized we never had a wedding song- my husband said the next song on the radio will be our song- this is it- my kids laugh at us
I love this story!
♥️🥰♥️♥️💜💜💜
And you’re still married today ?
Could've been worse, like "You Give Love A Bad Name."
[Verse 1]
The lights are on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your heart sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't sleep, you can't eat
There's no doubt, you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need
[Chorus]
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love
[Verse 2]
You see the signs, but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats in double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine
A one-track mind, you can't be saved
Oblivion is all you crave
If there's some left for you
You don't mind if you do
[Chorus]
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love
[Post-Chorus]
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
[Verse 3]
Your lights are on, but you're not home
Your will is not your own
Your heart sweats your teeth grind
Another kiss and you'll be mine
[Chorus]
Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love
[Outro]
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
Might as well face it, you're addicted to love
> You're in deep.
I always thought it was "You're in heat." Whoops.
Thanks for the lyrics.
Thanks for the lyrics
Now I can sing it with the right text 😀

My cousin got married the year this song came out and my 81 year old aunt wanted to get up and dance and the dj happened to play this song. All I can say is I had the coolest 81 year old aunt in the world.
what a cool story!!, I m right behind at 66...whatever...dance your ass off......
@@ronnietoots6797 16 year old here and dancing on this in my room at night
Too bad you don't have the vid of her dancing to this. 💃💃💃💃🥰
She was in her 40's when this was a hit. Makes sense.
If your here in 2020 you have great music taste edit 2021
✌🏼😎 thanks.
💪🏿
Indeed
Oh, thanks.
I'm only here because I made with my grandparent's a music night
One of my favorites! This song instantly reminds me of good times in the 80's. So very fun to sing in Karaoke bars. The Weird Al version is incredibly funny and so well written to fit the tune.
You know you've truly arrived when there's a Weird Al Yankovic version of one of your songs.
I could watch this over and over a million times ❤❤❤
i have done now im nearly blind
Suave - polite, sophisticated, well mannered and a bit cool... Robert Palmer
I’d like to upgrade that comment to ‘very’ cool
A rock gentleman
Not a day goes by when I don't think about the '80's. So many great songs!!!

The best 'rockband' ever. Who older this guys get the better they music. I think they still on stage at 90 of age. I really hope so,because... what should the world be without the Rolling Stones!!!!..???
A solid gold classic. We lost him too soon. R I P Robert, keep on giving them a good time up there in heaven. Such a suave gent, always surrounded by beautiful women!
I love this song so much used to play this in the car, my son loved it ,sadly we lost Robert Palmer in 2003
+Doug J We lost him to a heart attack I believe . . . high blood pressure - the "Silent Killer".
+Jay.C.Fotografie Unfortunately, people in the Commonwealth either drop dead around 50 or live to be 90. Some folks can handle the drinking, some can't. I have to admit, English beer IS good....
+Doug J What? he's "gone with the wind"?
+Bao Tony He passed on yes . RIP Robert Palmer
@@jeanlafitte268
It wasn't drinking that killed him.
It was smoking three packs a day.
I am a short, round 45 year old tired mother...and yet, this song makes me dance in my living room like some sexy 20 year at the club ! LOL...my kids get a kick 😂
Nothing wrong in dancing, lam much older and still like to dance. It's the music 🎵 in your 💜 heart. The good life just don't belong to the 🌱 young💃🎵😍👍👄💿📀
They never know how to shut up.
LUB. IT.
Ur still young!!!! 🥰
Go girl 🔥🔥🔥🤫
Robert Palmer❤nur unsere Generation kennen diese Klassiker!😢
Jaaaaa😊😊❤❤
I put Addicted to Love on my main ringtone.
I never tire of it.
I love the sound, the rhythm, the voice... RIP Robert
It remains untouchable
My ex used to sing to me
_"I might as well face it you're a dickhead at love"_
Great idea
R.I.P. Sir Robert Palmer - one of his greatest hits !
thanks for your email you are doing great
freddi o gone but never forgotten
freddi o aye lad
Great singer,songwriter, and I remember when this was on the radio, I am o l d ... loved the girl on the keyboard, fake yes,, who cares ... music is absolute SHIT from the early 90.s. Thanks bro....
yes
The classics never gets old they just get better
Definitely
the moment you recognize how cool the 80's- 90's actually were...
Nix Da love that I grew up with this type of music
Nix Da u said it
Nix Da yup the totally cool decades
Nobody could rock a shirt and tie like Robert Palmer!!!
What makes the video is how serious Palmer is and how he stays in character. That, and the girl licking her lips.
Top 5 all time. No question about it.
+James yeah that lip licking is pretty hilarious! I noticed it twice (two different girls)
Probably thinking about pizza.
Thanks. I missed that!
Hell, I'm licking my lips!!
I'm here in sep 24 enjoying real music from the past
Never get tired of watching this music video. Genius! RIP Robert Palmer. He was the best.
Same here, those girls mesmerize...
Dude this what the 80s are like awesomeness
The 80s were AWESOME!!!!!!!
val aiken r
73 was better every track seemed great
only a few of them !
jupp i know i was there -)
Girls talked about how much of a nice guy and respectful he was. Sad he died of a heart attack :-(
Chain smoking 60 cigs a day wouldn't do *anybody* any good.
@@davem8836 Didn't know he smoked and not that much either. We at least have these classics. Thank you Robert Palmer for all you gave us.
of course... what else !
If anyone at the restaurant had known cpr, he might still be with us. When it happened, everyone was hoping someone else knew. At table, without anyone who could help.
@@richardbeckenbaugh1805 Aw that’s horrible. Someone call 911. Experts say it’s best to at least try. Better than nothing.
80s was only pure talent - the entire decade! That is why no decade afterwards and came close to its precision.
Robert Palmer was such a pro. Great songs, production and understated but soulful performance style. Sad he died so young but he left us with many classics such as this.
🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@michaelbarnes4092 how did he die young he wasn't young. Do you know something I don't know? Seems like y'all might be in some secret douchebag comment illuminati...
How did he pass? Some many singers and musicians from the '80s have passed away.
So many singers and musicians from the 1980s that passed away.
The list is too long.
Robert Palmer could show the kids of today what real music was like back in the 80s. He's up there with the best of them.
I also enjoy his music but it is spoiled by the girls just miming the music:=((
The cliche refrain from every sour old goat from every generation.
pfp checks out.
