Baltimora entered the UK top 40 on 10th August 1985 at no.24 and reached no.3 In the same week the top 10 was: 1 - Madonna - Into the groove 2 - Madonna - Holiday 3 - UB40/Chrissie Hynde - I got you babe 4 - Eurythmics - There must be an angel 5 - Tina Turner - We don't need another hero 6 - Dire Straits - Money for nothing 7 - Billy Idol - White wedding 8 - Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F (from Beverly Hills Cop) 9 - The Cars - Drive 10 - Nik Kershaw - Don Quixote And the climbers and new entries this week were: DIO - Rock n roll children Lisa Lisa/Cult Jam - I wonder if I take you home. Prince - Raspberry Beret Phil Collins - Take me home Kate Bush - Running up that hill Princess - Say I'm your number one I think you'd enjoy any of these tracks from just one week in one month of one year of the 1980s x
Oh man lol..this one is ...nutty ! my wife gives me grief cause i will sing this in the kitchen.just to bother her lol.she says you're a fruit loop! classic pop song!
The guy in the video just mimed to the records. The producer was the real singer. At the time,nobody seemed to question why an Irish man was singing with an Italian accent :)
You'd probably like a lot of Duran Duran songs. They were huge in the 80's. Also, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco, One Night in Bangkok by Murry Head and Things Can Only Get Better by Howard Jones. All very similar stuff to this song but even better imo.
"one hit wonder"...??? LOOOOOLLLL Mate, either you weren't alive in the 80's or you where very distracted... Falco had lots of hits!! At lest in Europe.... Have no clue in the US though... 🙄
You will love “LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN” by Dream Academy.. same kinda style. Please give it a listen! I guarantee you’ll love it! And another awesome song is “THE LIVING YEARS” by Mike & the Mechanics. Both awesome songs! Love your reviews 😊
Harri Palomäki Yeah, that’s what I loved about that era! Today the music all sounds the same but back then it was so versatile. I sure miss those days!
Here’s a few 80s classics for you Falco - Rock Me Amadeus Roachford - Cuddly Toy Spagna - Call Me Five Star - Can’t Wait Another Minute Yazz - The Only Way Is Up Soul II Soul - Back To Life
Only the two last song have I ever heard and can't say I like them at all. But I will give you a few 80's I like more. Yazoo - Only You th-cam.com/video/a4g5MeonGYM/w-d-xo.html Desireless - Voyage, voyage th-cam.com/video/T7YJoGXs2i8/w-d-xo.html Axel F - Beverly Hills Cop Main Theme th-cam.com/video/V4kWpi2HnPU/w-d-xo.html John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire th-cam.com/video/7-u17jx0r0Y/w-d-xo.html Enjoy
I loved this song back in the day and kept meaning to recommend it to you. Glad someone did and you enjoyed it. :) I've never seen this singer before. Those are come Tim Curry-worthy cheekbones and jawline. :)
This one's on my playlist, been there a while. There's a number of remixes of it. It translates very well to radio, sounds great in the car. It was 1985. It fit in perfectly with the new wave movement. The band was Italian, the guy in the video just lip synching it. It doesn't matter, it was the 80s.
This was my song in the 80s and it was a big hit and very catchy...I still bump to it every now and then thank god for sites like TH-cam to walk down memory lane..good to see the youngins reacting to the songs we used to listen to and still do.
I worked at a record store when this came out and it appealled to EVERYONE! Rock n rollers, New agers, Alt rockers, and especially Dance clubbers. Keep rockin buddy you do a great job!❤🎶🎧
hey bro if you like Baltimora check the British group called "ELO" the electric light orchestra listen to theirs song Mr Blue sky and my favorite calling America and Telephone line. hey take your time with the music you cant go through 50 years of 5 different decades of Music experiences form 50's doo op to rock and Motown of the 60'd and 70's Rock and the s pop of the 80's as well as the 90' s mix of Music LOLL! TAKE YOUR TIME it's a Marathon NOT a Sprint. enjoy the journey and dont just RUSH to A goal Enjoy yourself God Richly Bless you!
Yea, I know you get soooo many requests but if you ever come back to these comments, since you like this sort of dreamy synth pop style, then I would say watch Alphaville-Big in Japan.
Roachford - cuddly toy ,and check out a maybe one of the most underated band of the 80' s The Cult - she sells sanctuary - the whitch ,little devil , edie ,heart of soul , wild hearted son , rain .
Mes belles années folles excellent merci à vous reaction j'ai danser danser jusqu'au bout de la nuit sur cette musique très rythmé baltimora love 😍👍👏🙏🎶🎵🎼
I remember this song the most from the closing titles to _Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III._ It's a great song and I honestly can't begin to fathom why it has got so much flak over the years. It was a one-hit wonder, but it's absolutely quintessential 80s.
Do you like 80's films and nostalgia? If so, you have to check out, "When You Grow Up Your Heart Dies" by Gunship! The music video is a collection of 80's movie scenes their fans reenacted! Also, the song is really good. ;)
Hi JB! Since you seem to have fun with some of the 80's stuff, would like to add things to what some of your awesome viewers have suggested. Stray Cats: Built For Speed Brian Setzer Orchestra: This Old House (this isn't 80's, but I think you might like) Depeche Mode: Just Can't Get Enough The Cure: Love Cats New Order: Bizarre Love Triangle Have a groovy day!!!
If you like the 80's, hmm, do you know Eros Ramazzoti", his song "Una storia importante" was a great hit back in the days. Also, the group Modern Talking, not sure if you have heard of them.
Loved this song since I remember hearing it in the 90's. Never saw the video until I was in collage. It's weird, but I don't care. The song is still a master piece of it's time. It's just a shame the musician got only this one hit during the flood of New Wave music during the 80's.
*Bobbing in my chair screaming along* Suggestions: Sandra "Maria Magdalena" Scotch: Either "Delirio mind" or "Disco band" Righeira: "Vamos ala Playa" or "No tengo Dinero"
@darkiee69, can't go wrong with any Sandra hit, but Maria Magdalena is a great starting point. Rabbit hole warning, James! In the same-ish 80s Eurodisco genre I also highly recommend these: Ryan Paris: Dolce Vita Patrick Hernandez: Born To Be Alive Gazebo: I Like Chopin / Lunatic / Masterpiece Laura Branigan: Self Control Desireless: Voyage Voyage Good times were had.
Baltimora entered the UK top 40 on 10th August 1985 at no.24 and reached no.3
In the same week the top 10 was:
1 - Madonna - Into the groove
2 - Madonna - Holiday
3 - UB40/Chrissie Hynde - I got you babe
4 - Eurythmics - There must be an angel
5 - Tina Turner - We don't need another hero
6 - Dire Straits - Money for nothing
7 - Billy Idol - White wedding
8 - Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F (from Beverly Hills Cop)
9 - The Cars - Drive
10 - Nik Kershaw - Don Quixote
And the climbers and new entries this week were:
DIO - Rock n roll children
Lisa Lisa/Cult Jam - I wonder if I take you home.
Prince - Raspberry Beret
Phil Collins - Take me home
Kate Bush - Running up that hill
Princess - Say I'm your number one
I think you'd enjoy any of these tracks from just one week in one month of one year of the 1980s x
And oddly, both this gem and Running Up That Hill were used in the latest season of Stranger Things
Brilliant song. Just a shame he (Jimmy McShane) died so young at 37.
Oh man lol..this one is ...nutty ! my wife gives me grief cause i will sing this in the kitchen.just to bother her lol.she says you're a fruit loop! classic pop song!
Murray Head - One night in Bangkok, it has a similar vibe to this one.
And who wrote the song? Benny and Björn of ABBA. James, are you listening?
Bangkok oriental city but the city don’t know what the city is getting
Sly Foxx - Let's Go All The Way, try it lol.
The guy in the video just mimed to the records. The producer was the real singer. At the time,nobody seemed to question why an Irish man was singing with an Italian accent :)
Jeopardy - Greg Kinh Band
Talking In Your Sleep - The Romantics
Big In Japan - Alphaville
Missing You - John Waite
V. J. Yes! Big in Japan, love that song!
Our love's in jeopardy!
@@jamessutton3461 Or how my young ears heard it as a kid back then: "I love in Japanese, baby! Oooooooohhh" LOL!
You'd probably like a lot of Duran Duran songs. They were huge in the 80's. Also, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco, One Night in Bangkok by Murry Head and Things Can Only Get Better by Howard Jones. All very similar stuff to this song but even better imo.
Howard Jones!!!!! YES!!! I always thought he was underrated.
Loving all those suggestions!!!!....80's music was the best
And Dan Hartman I can dream about you
Tears for Fears - Shout
Love that song, also Head Over Heels
I would like to add their song Change.
@@Ancaladar100 and Pale Shelter
Yes! Also, woman in chains and sowing the seeds of love.
How Soon Is Now? and This Charming Man by the Smiths.
Get the balance right and Everything Counts - Depeche Mode
The first video played on MTV, Video killed the radio star by the Buggles.
Living in the Plastic Age - Buggles.
Another one hit wonder .... ROCK ME AMADEUS by " Falco "
Falco had other big hits .... Der Kommisar, Vienna calling, Jeanny :)
"one hit wonder"...??? LOOOOOLLLL
Mate, either you weren't alive in the 80's or you where very distracted... Falco had lots of hits!! At lest in Europe.... Have no clue in the US though... 🙄
@@cosmin98684 👍 and "Coming Home" (AKA:"Jeanny part 2") 😉
Go visit grandma, drink from the glass and play her this song!
I'm not ashamed to say! I love that song and many other songs like that from the 80s. Keep up the great work brother!
You will love “LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN” by Dream Academy.. same kinda style. Please give it a listen! I guarantee you’ll love it! And another awesome song is “THE LIVING YEARS” by Mike & the Mechanics. Both awesome songs! Love your reviews 😊
Definitely Life in a Northern Town .. a lovely song
Anne Smith Right? How I miss the 80’s!
Not really the same kind of style, but Life In A Northern Town certainly is a jewel of a song.
Harri Palomäki Yeah, that’s what I loved about that era! Today the music all sounds the same but back then it was so versatile. I sure miss those days!
@@jolyn9847 Yes, good times.
Some fun songs

I miss 80s
Bad hair and all!
I always associate this song with the Ninja Turtles 3 trailer!
Thanks for the flashback. I don’t think I’ve heard this song since the decade started with an 8.

Falco - Rock Me Amadeus
Roachford - Cuddly Toy
Spagna - Call Me
Five Star - Can’t Wait Another Minute
Yazz - The Only Way Is Up

Only the two last song have I ever heard and can't say I like them at all.

Wow! I’m shocked. This is one of those obscure 80s band. I have their cassette tape somewhere in a box in the garage
Howard Jones...Like to get to know you well and Things can only get better...great,fun 80s songs!!!!!
If you think this song is fun, you should react to "Walk the Dinosaur"
Thank you for reacting to this song - and reminding me of it. It was one of my fave jams back in the day rocking the dance floor.. 🧡
Great summer sound of the 80s 👌
A very silly, yet really fun song! I love it , and I love your reaction. You are a smart, handsome young dude.
Dude so flam"buoyant" he could keep the titanic afloat.

Gloria - as mentioned several times here might be something for you as it has a slight ABBA feel to it :D

Italo disco 80s

In the same-ish 80s Eurodisco genre I also highly recommend these:
Ryan Paris: Dolce Vita
Patrick Hernandez: Born To Be Alive
Gazebo: I Like Chopin / Lunatic / Masterpiece
Laura Branigan: Self Control

Good times were had.
