Always loved this song and the Bangles. Both Patty and Susanna Hoffs we're hot back then and still hot to this day!!! I always love the 80's girls dancing to the 80's music!! 🔥
So did the 50's 60's and 70's. Those decades had talent, no need for this autotune crap which is focused more on image than talent. Yeah, the 80s rocked too.
My 30 year old daughter has always loved my 80's music, and we've been to see so many artists that began their careers in the 80's over the years. My best concert experience was seeing my, and her, favourite band, The Cure, together. ❤❤
I just love looking at Patty in this video. She was the type of girl many guys going to school during the 80s would fall for. Cute with a twist of elegant beauty. 👍
And she's firey as a confident female can get. I Love everything about her. Don't make me start talking about those eyes of hers. Marry me Patty Smythe!😊
I remember when they said our music had no soul and would be forgotten. Couldn’t have been further from the truth. 80’s was such a great time to be a teen.
Well........This song is good, I always liked it. And theres other great music from the 80's, but the quantity and quality is very small compared to the 70's and 60's. But on the other hand, the music of the 80's towers over the 90's, and it's all gone straight to hell ever since
@@staralchemy111 Is that supposed to be an insult? Not sure why you would post something like that. Yes, it was underrated when it came out, and IMHO, it still is, but I guess with those Tarot cards and black magic, you know everything, LOL.
I agree, it is past tense. Too bad she couldn't keep her youthful looks. By the way, my late sister looked almost exactly like her. She had the same "meanness" as well. Furthermore, when Patty is crooning about her heart can't stand the pain, my sister died of a heart infection {infective myocarditis}. Even weirder, on Wikipedia it says this song is 3 minutes and 46 seconds long. You might think and? This is 226 seconds. {3×60+46=226}. My father died on June 22, or 22/6 like 226. The title of this song is almost funeral ready - Goodbye to you! My sister died on 7.16.2016 and my father died 6.22.2023. This song came out in 1982 or 1983, years before any of my family misfortunes.
I've told my kids and their friends that the 80's were a magical time. Not only did we know how to party, but we had fantastic music to go with it. 80's music still rules and rocks!!!
Still trying to understand the reason so many people are going nuts for Taylor Swift.. she is getting way too much publicity and credit.. Patty Smyth is such an amazing combination of talent, beauty and oomph that is unmatched today.. her Warrior song didn't crack the top 50 in the US Billboard top 100 for 1984.. it was number 51 Think about that for a minute... And the quality of the No:1 hits of today.. We are all thankful for the 80s and the evergreen memories it provided us
I agree 100%. Somebody I know was talking about that they liked The Weeknd of the newer bands. My response was that The Weeknd's best song would just be mediocre compared to thousands of songs from the 80s. And 70s and 60s for that matter.
back when you actually needed talent to play and get noticed, not just hit play on a f*ing laptop and 3000 muppets go wild like you just invented the electrical grid.
You are not the only one. I hope. In my group of friends, I am the only one. I am 51. All my friends have flocked to that new shit like sheep. And never had much more of anything exciting before it (hmm...)
Does anyone else think Fountains of Wayne's (Stacey's Mom) were the lovechild of Scandal and … The Kinks? Some band with some humor. Oh! Not-So-Weird Al Yankovic! Ideal... he's the best!
My God! How are females ever going to lead with their insecurities ? When are women going to realize that men want women for who they are and not for who they are not?

Knuckle up and make it in this world without crying foul. What a joke. Oprah for president..... bring it! What a joke! Eat a bowl of soup and slap a big tampon on that fat pussy, and negotiate with about nuclear arms. Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.

U Guys took Words🗣Right Outta My Mouth😲This Song Exemplifies & Epitomizes The 80’s .Still Killer till This Day 👍 I❤️Miss That Period of My Life.Sooo Much Fun.The 80’s We’re A Blast!
Same here n lost my virginity to a 23 yo woman, 2 years short of Patty's age back then. I also just turned 59 a couple weeks ago, Sept 24. Absolutely loved Patty Smyth.
I certainly appreciated this!! My first year of MTv, this wonderful video was played 500 times. There were less than a hundred music videos in the early years, so Duran Duran and Men at Work also played over and over :-(
Thanks guys, also why would 3.2 thousand people dislike this amazing song?! Either these people dislike every good video in existence or they are just that stupid.
I see people loving Patty and the 80's music. I was lucky enough to see her live on an 80's cruise just before the shutdown of everything. Literally pulled into FL the day before they shut the port down. She can still put on an incredible show. Still looks hot, still has energy, still has a great voice! She was one of my favorite acts on the cruise!
She is SO adorable! I love those cute little silly moves and her facial expressions and her powerful voice in such a feisty cute little package! This song is great :-)
I`m a "children" of the Eighties (1968). The best time ever! The girls, the mood everywhere. Incomparable with the times today. Everything was better. But we are young, we are beautiful and now? Greetings from Germany-Bavaria.
A teen girl asked me a few years ago if the 80's were like she sees in movies and music vids and her mom's yearbook. I told her "Yes", it was just like you see in the movies and it was awesome! Truly the best time to grow up in the history of the world.
The 80's and early 90's were the best years of my life!!! I graduated in '84 and lived the life, being a young Marine stationed in Coronado and Camp Pendleton!!! Wouldn't trade it for anything.
She was so cute... so sassy... and yes, probably had one of the most underrated voices ever. Patty! One of the best pop songs of its - or any - generation.
Absolutely here for the talent and nostalgia! I'm so glad to have been young and happy during some of the best music. Patty and Scandal were one of the best! 💖🎶
soy de Perú y aqui la pasan siempre varias radios ochenteras, no miento en decirte que por lo menos una vez al dia la escucho sonando en el transportes o alguna oficina por donde paso
I hear you, DBGTV!!-I'm 61 and absolutely love the way music can take us back years!!-I've always liked this song from the eighties--another fave was the Pretenders " Precious"--really, there are just so many great ones -80's had some great music
@Fluoride_Jones I am old enough to remember the Comma Shortage of the 1980s. When you didn't have something growing up, you really don't use it when you get older.
@@josephwatson8448 I picture a guy who is off his rocker spewing a socio diatribe about class triggered by an 80s video featuring Patty Smythe. I hate to see what unrelated socio commentary will be triggered by you watching Boy George video.🤮
Patty Smyth; Joan Jett; Stevie Nicks; Pat Benatar; Debbie Harry; Ann & Nancy Wilson; Madonna; Annie Lennox; Terri Nunn So many beautiful rocker chicks from the late 70's-80s.
I was in love with her back when this song first came out and I’m still in love with her😍. When I listen to 38 Special’s “Fantasy Girl”, I think of Patty Smyth. And by the way that’s a great song from that era as well.
This video is probably one of the best videos and songs i have seen . 1.The hair and style is hot and cute 2. She expresses charisma and sheer attitude in just one room.3. She promotes flair 4. When was the first or last time you heard a solo Keyboard with a hot dance? 5.They did not try to go over budget or over do it with gimmicks . Its all attitude!!!!!!!
Class of 1985 here. I love being Generation X. The last great generation without technology being rammed your throat. When you left the house they had to wait for you to show up again. They didn't call you on the road. Don't get me wrong I love technology and glad I am able to experience having every song ever recorded in my pocket but i remember hauling around my record collection too and I'm glad i experienced the difference. You tell that to a kid now and they're all "Huh?" It was a great time the 80's. I'm glad i was in it
Class of '85 here to kids today have no idea how good it was. Like going to record stores and spending hours looking thru the albums, or hitting the local arcades...damn they were good times!!
The dance move Patty does at 0:35 is so damn cute. I remember my girlfriend (now my wife) doing the same move while we were dancing in the clubs 1982-1986. Loved it!
When I see this video, it brings back such a wonderful time. The eighties was an awesome time to be young and Patti Smyth delivering the goods and her good looks and charm go great with her voice.
Patty Smyth reminds me a the dark eyed girl you went out with a couple of times in high school and then remembered her for the rest of your life. All of us have one.
Wow, I forgot just how BLOODY GREAT this song is. Incredible!! Love the keyboard sounds in there, too. Very much like the sounds on that first amazing KINGS album. And I love how the player references parts of the iconic solo in Del Shannon's "Runaway". Very clever. Patty and the band really shine here for sure.
My 9 year old daughter wanted to know what 80 dancing looked like. I said "Oh I know a perfect example" and showed her this video. Now she loves the song and dances just like that to it all the time! 😊
“These last few weeks of holding on, the days are dull, the nights are long” - poetry that sums up exactly what it feels like when a relationship is over yet you’re still trying to collect the pieces and save it.
Was living in Houston, TX back in '82-'83 and got to see the Kinks. Lo and behold. Scandal opened for them. Was a party concert, but Scandal did a damn good job opening, they came out for an encore! The Kinks, ROCKED that night. God, has it really been, almost 35 years? HOLY FREJOLES BATMAN!!!!
+gregory andonian Yes, sir! It has really been 35 years! I try not to think about the 80's too much. If I did, then I'd really feel old! God bless you, Gregory!
Same here...Man, we sure were the lucky ones, right? Got to be a teenager in the late 70's and early 80's. Best of both worlds.What I wouldn't give to go back!
If someone said show me the 80’s, this is the video, the music, the clothes, the hair, Patty looking hot as hell and the dance moves it all perfectly encapsulates the 80’s
Patty Smyth has the perfect voice for hard rock/new wave. She's in the same echelon as Ann Wilson and Linda Ronstadt. Unfortunately Scandals 's 1984's hit, "Beat of a Heart❤", doesn't garner the respect it deserves......

Pure and unadulterated 80’s. Great song !
When music was fun and uplifting. Not this dredge we have today.
The song. The way she looks. The guys in the band. The way she sings. One of the great videos of all time.
The bass player is rockin' 80s cool...lol
I love this song and the band and Patty, so awesome to watch this classic video ❤! 80’s Rule !!
She lives on the borderline of both physical and spiritual relm
She's got sexy legs, man!
OK, but this is like her "Peter Parker/ Diana Prince mode" compared to her/their "WARRIOR" video.
Im sure everyone thinks their generation was the best. But darn it, mine was! The 80s rocked!
I was born in 1957, so the 60s, 70s, _and_ 80s are my music. How lucky am I!!
Born in 58 so the 70’s was my thing. But I’m telling you, the 80’s were just phenomenal. And honestly, the last decade of innocence.
So did the 50's 60's and 70's. Those decades had talent, no need for this autotune crap which is focused more on image than talent. Yeah, the 80s rocked too.
Born in 90's, you re so right sir, your generation's THE BEST
Indeed, although the 70s were awesome also... I did love the 80s
If you grew up in the 80’s, and now have kids that still love 80’s music because of you, you raised them right!! 😊❤🎉

What a great-looking band! Everything about this video just screams 80's and I've always loved this song. 😍🥰
they are so fun and she is a talented singer IMHO and the band is good too!
Lol I had exactly the same thought; the look of this video just screams 80's. Still a good breakup song to this day, though.
U Guys took Words🗣Right Outta My Mouth😲This Song Exemplifies & Epitomizes The 80’s .Still Killer till This Day 👍 I❤️Miss That Period of My Life.Sooo Much Fun.The 80’s We’re A Blast!
They are all so good looking !😍
@@persona2grata I also love "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash. (For a breakup song) 💔
I was 17 then almost 60 now and this song is still on HEAVY ROTATION!!!!...love it .
También fui adolescente a comienzos de los 80 fue una temporada inolvidable . Tengo59 años
Same here n lost my virginity to a 23 yo woman, 2 years short of Patty's age back then.
I also just turned 59 a couple weeks ago, Sept 24.
Absolutely loved Patty Smyth.
The 80's ruled.
Always will
There’s a common theme that runs strong in the comments. We all miss the great times and the music of the 80’s. I do love TH-cam for keeping it alive.
AMEN TO THAT!!!
No one want to leave the Party….
They don't make em like her anymore
U said it, I'm a diff 80s baby and all I want to do is go back cuz I don't understand this world
But seriously It’s a POS song 😂
along with "The Warrior" this is one of the most underappreciated songs ever. And probably the most underappreciated piece of media from 1982.
Agreed
Amen!!!
Songs were pointless pop, but Patti is SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL with A VOICE FROM HEAVEN that you couldn't/can't ignore it.
I certainly appreciated this!!
My first year of MTv, this wonderful video was played 500 times. There were less than a hundred music videos in the early years, so Duran Duran and Men at Work also played over and over :-(
Thanks guys, also why would 3.2 thousand people dislike this amazing song?! Either these people dislike every good video in existence or they are just that stupid.
I see people loving Patty and the 80's music. I was lucky enough to see her live on an 80's cruise just before the shutdown of everything. Literally pulled into FL the day before they shut the port down. She can still put on an incredible show. Still looks hot, still has energy, still has a great voice! She was one of my favorite acts on the cruise!
Great story.
Between her and Susanna Hoffs…Lordy!
The 80s! Wish I could turn back time!!
When a kiss was still a kiss.
Yes me too.
I want to go back to the 80's. Who's with me?
I Still Listen To 80 And 90 Music .Today Music will Never Match Ups.
Me too, that's all I listen to, 80's and 90's music. The music of today sucks BIG TIME.
If you are talking about Donald Trump, I agree with you what's he doing to the U.S is spilling over to Canada where I'm from.
Let's do it
Me, me. I still have the 80's clothes hanging in my closet somewhere .
She is SO adorable! I love those cute little silly moves and her facial expressions and her powerful voice in such a feisty cute little package! This song is great :-)
Oh man, I agree. She was so hot.
Very well summed up and stated.
LOVE THE 80's. "LOVE SONG & VIDEO "
bendietrees - especially those little "Jaggeresque" moves at around 3:16.
Unfortunately for her it was the only hit video from Scandel with Patti Smyth on MTV. 80's music was great though the era!
I`m a "children" of the Eighties (1968). The best time ever! The girls, the mood everywhere. Incomparable with the times today. Everything was better. But we are young, we are beautiful and now? Greetings from Germany-Bavaria.
Born in '71. Graduated 🎓 '89. Those were sweet, innocent, happy times.
A teen girl asked me a few years ago if the 80's were like she sees in movies and music vids and her mom's yearbook. I told her "Yes", it was just like you see in the movies and it was awesome! Truly the best time to grow up in the history of the world.
Don't rub it in😅
Truly a wide open decade.
The 80's and early 90's were the best years of my life!!! I graduated in '84 and lived the life, being a young Marine stationed in Coronado and Camp Pendleton!!! Wouldn't trade it for anything.
@@thebronzetoo cool, I also graduated in 84, and as a young airman was stationed in England.
It was truly a great time to be a rowdy kid with tons of energy........
One of THE BEST songs from the 80's!!
+thebronzetoo Indeed There!!,They are!
She also killed the 90s IMO with No Mistakes
eh
You got that right. One of the best.
Great song who hasn't live though this before..
She was so cute... so sassy... and yes, probably had one of the most underrated voices ever. Patty! One of the best pop songs of its - or any - generation.
Oh my God I missed the 80s. Love this one. Need an update. This is 2024 if you’re listening, you’re awesome.
You got an update from me. Patty Smyth could have sang anything, Pat Benatar, Blondie, - I just love my divas!!! :)
" Here for the 🎼🎶"
🙋♂️🎸📻
goodbye ✌you
Take care .😉
You didn't miss anything but a Flock of Seagulls. Ozzy Osbourne was the best. No glam - no shlam. Just damn good songs with no lipstick.
Thank you 😆
Absolutely here for the talent and nostalgia! I'm so glad to have been young and happy during some of the best music. Patty and Scandal were one of the best! 💖🎶
Wonderful song and era. R.I.P., to members of Scandal who passed away.
Man I miss 80's music. This song is one example of that incredible 80's sound. Where does all the time go?
Wish I knew. It does not seem possible that 40 years have come and gone.
I’m 57 and been a huge fan of hers since I was a teen!!! When it comes on the radio which sadly is rarely, it’s alllll the way up!!
Old school Cool all the way.
You blow
WHY DO THEY NEVER PLAY THIS ANYMORE?! 🤨🤨🤨
I hear this & Warrior on one of my local 80’s station but not often.
soy de Perú y aqui la pasan siempre varias radios ochenteras, no miento en decirte que por lo menos una vez al dia la escucho sonando en el transportes o alguna oficina por donde paso
This 62 year old becomes 21 again each time he listens to this song love it love it love it you go girl❤❤❤
It's sad your generation was never taught about punctuaction, due to its importance in sentence structure.
I hear you, DBGTV!!-I'm 61 and absolutely love the way music can take us back years!!-I've always liked this song from the eighties--another fave was the Pretenders " Precious"--really, there are just so many great ones -80's had some great music
@@Fluoride_JonesIt’s sad you have so little tach and manners. Condescending & being disrespectful are not good qualities punk.
@Fluoride_Jones I am old enough to remember the Comma Shortage of the 1980s. When you didn't have something growing up, you really don't use it when you get older.
@@bradcreel7267 🤣🤣🤣
An incredible song to live by say goodbye to all the negative people in your life.
Picture a 57yr old man CRANKING THIS UP at a red light. Love ya Patty.
And...
Picture a 1% millionaire socialist not paying his employees and wanting to be President of the USA.
joseph watson you must be a blast at parties....
Funny how much I miss the real MTV 🙂
@@josephwatson8448 I picture a guy who is off his rocker spewing a socio diatribe about class triggered by an 80s video featuring Patty Smythe. I hate to see what unrelated socio commentary will be triggered by you watching Boy George video.🤮
The whole decade of the 80s was spot on and awesome to the core!! There will never be another decade to even come close to the 80s!!
I wish I could go back in to the 80's now if I have a time machine
I could argue the 60s comes up bigger, but the 80s is damn close.
And my vote is for the 70's. But nonetheless, the 1980's was the last decade of innocence and optimism for the United States.
The answer is "80's for the win". Yes, you are correct.
80’s music and bands were super gay…. Aside from this song.
In college back then, no pandemic, no restrictions, no worries - just fun and great music.
You forgot AIDS
XD
Boom roasted
Because people controlled the government not the other way around.
@@karlreichert9051 that's also false.
Isn't she lovely on this video??
what guy would not fall in love with this one girl???
Patty you look awesome(and you still do)
love the 80's
Patty Smyth; Joan Jett; Stevie Nicks; Pat Benatar; Debbie Harry; Ann & Nancy Wilson; Madonna; Annie Lennox; Terri Nunn
So many beautiful rocker chicks from the late 70's-80s.
I can easily not fall in love with her. She looks annoying and pissed off. You sound desperate.
puma.will. pounce And the fact that you're a gay man......
shite4brains - Is that you, Johnnie Mac?
Diggin' the Southwest Terri Nunn!
I watch and listen to this song over and over- there is something about this never gets old!
Saw "Scandle" in concert in 1984 with "The Romantics" those were the greatest of times
Soo true, a good feeling.
Ikr. Pointer sisters-"neutron dance "is another one
Why is it that We don´t hear such great songs in the "XXI CENTURY" anymore ! 80´s music is UNBEATABLE !!
Because we have rap and country and they are both crap
It honestly is around.....ya just gotta look for it.
Patty is STILL gorgeous.
I saw her on the jimmy fallon show
She has a new album out and has new videos and promo for it. She great.
Ewww. Just saw her in an interview with the Professor of Rock from a few weeks ago and she has not aged well.
She sings great and looks like Linda Rondstat here !
I was in love with her back when this song first came out and I’m still in love with her😍. When I listen to 38 Special’s “Fantasy Girl”, I think of Patty Smyth. And by the way that’s a great song from that era as well.
80s totally rocked. Music back then had so much life.
Every type.
John Dyer 80s absolutely ruled the greatest decade in men history
Ray Sagastiano hate to say it but I take the seventies over the mid-nineties enough
@@derickarnold3301 I love the 70's,80's & 90's music. There was so much different stuff happening
Before strippers, pimps, criminals and drug dealers took over the music scene.
This video is probably one of the best videos and songs i have seen . 1.The hair and style is hot and cute 2. She expresses charisma and sheer attitude in just one room.3. She promotes flair 4. When was the first or last time you heard a solo Keyboard with a hot dance? 5.They did not try to go over budget or over do it with gimmicks . Its all attitude!!!!!!!
Plus it looks like they were having an absolute BLAST when they were doing it!
Well said!!
BTW lots of solo keyboards in the 80's! And imagine enjoying this song when it first came out! It rocked!! We had an AWESOME time!
Very pretty Patti
Class of 1985 here. I love being Generation X. The last great generation without technology being rammed your throat. When you left the house they had to wait for you to show up again. They didn't call you on the road. Don't get me wrong I love technology and glad I am able to experience having every song ever recorded in my pocket but i remember hauling around my record collection too and I'm glad i experienced the difference. You tell that to a kid now and they're all "Huh?" It was a great time the 80's. I'm glad i was in it
Class of '85 here to kids today have no idea how good it was. Like going to record stores and spending hours looking thru the albums, or hitting the local arcades...damn they were good times!!
The dance move Patty does at 0:35 is so damn cute. I remember my girlfriend (now my wife) doing the same move while we were dancing in the clubs 1982-1986. Loved it!
My LORD!!! What a voice!!! Really beauuuuutiful.......
ok
If this wasn't your generation you missed out. Still love Patty 2023
When I see this video, it brings back such a wonderful time. The eighties was an awesome time to be young and Patti Smyth delivering the goods and her good looks and charm go great with her voice.
just saw a video of Patty singing this in 2020 - almost 40 years later and she still sounds great!!
Like any really good music ..you know when it's hot & you know when it's not...40 years & Patty's is still smokin' hot.
Patty Smyth reminds me a the dark eyed girl you went out with a couple of times in high school and then remembered her for the rest of your life. All of us have one.
man ain't that the truth!!
Yeah I looked up mine on Facebook..... She's on her 5th Marriage .....
Yeah, and for me, her name was really Patty Smith!
I wonder if any of the guys l went out in High School remember me.
@@monicaritvo I'm sure they do!
Wow, I forgot just how BLOODY GREAT this song is. Incredible!! Love the keyboard sounds in there, too. Very much like the sounds on that first amazing KINGS album. And I love how the player references parts of the iconic solo in Del Shannon's "Runaway". Very clever. Patty and the band really shine here for sure.
The keyboards on the album are Paul Schaffer of Late Night Fame and SNL...😍
@@nothingheremovealong6751 I am pretty sure Benji King played the keyboards.
@@nothingheremovealong6751 +
I just read about the Paul Schaefer connection and had to hear the song again. Been too long....
Nice keyboard comparison to Runaway!
I constantly listen to it😊😊😊
My 9 year old daughter wanted to know what 80 dancing looked like. I said "Oh I know a perfect example" and showed her this video. Now she loves the song and dances just like that to it all the time! 😊
Going thru a breakup? Sing this 100x a time you instantly will feel better!!!! oh yeah!
Fo sho ..lol
Yup😂
The 80's music is some of the best ever.
Reason why people of all ages still listen to these songs. 80s was by far the best decade for music. Mtv went a long way of helping.
“These last few weeks of holding on, the days are dull, the nights are long” - poetry that sums up exactly what it feels like when a relationship is over yet you’re still trying to collect the pieces and save it.
Was living in Houston, TX back in '82-'83 and got to see the Kinks. Lo and behold. Scandal opened for them. Was a party concert, but Scandal did a damn good job opening, they came out for an encore! The Kinks, ROCKED that night. God, has it really been, almost 35 years? HOLY FREJOLES BATMAN!!!!
+gregory andonian I was also in Houston in 82..good times before the bust!
+gregory andonian too bad they didn't go to the Ocean club
LakewoodDallas yea, damn good times.
+gregory andonian Yes, sir! It has really been 35 years! I try not to think about the 80's too much. If I did, then I'd really feel old! God bless you, Gregory!
Thank you Marie.
My god, It's because of women like this that kings raged wars against other kingdoms from time to time, such a beauty.
That would be Susanna Hoffs.
@@eecortese Now theres another one that makes me walk like an egyptian ,,,
@@jaime57473 I dig, brother. Those eyes!
Where Katy Perry got her stuff
And yet she married John McEnroe
What a doll! 😍
I turned 18 in 1981. I am truly lucky to have been born when I was. I was lucky enough to experience the 80s as young adult. Thank you God.
I was 18 in 81 as well!! (go Ducks 😄)
Me too. I'm stuck in the 80's when it comes to music. Similar to the 50's folks
Same here...Man, we sure were the lucky ones, right? Got to be a teenager in the late 70's and early 80's. Best of both worlds.What I wouldn't give to go back!
I love this song. Scandal was one of my favorite groups, so glad to see Patty.
Hi Linda hope you're doing fine?
What a great decade to be young! If I did nothing else with my life, I am thankful for the good times I had during this period
And the tunes
pretty much sums it up.
It really was a great time to be young, probably the best times of my life.
MY WORDS EXACTLY, AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BUT THE MUSIC WAS GREAT 1982 YEAR RULED!
@@fairweatherrider1 Mine too
Anyone Listening November 2024?✌💃🚶❤
Always!!❤❤❤❤
Great!!!! Yes me
Yep 😂😂
🙋🏼♀️27/10/24
Yes. I was watching an old John McEnroe interview and he mentioned that Patty is his wife. Hadnt heard this song since the 80s so here I am
the 80's !!! God i miss that time. and love patti, so much talent.
brian centi ya early 80's!!!
brian centi I loved the 80s great times and great fun
Who is the guitarist?
I miss the 80's the way music was memorable it was the soundtract of life
Patti Smith or Patty Smith? Two totally different musicians Patti kicked ass!
The 80s really were great. I was teen through them. Fun memories and tons of them.
Thank you for your music Patty Smyth - you helped an entire generation get through tough times in their lives - will never forget you.
The 80s-does anyone remember the “decade of joy”? We need it back ASAP!
Still one of the best break up songs ever
One of?
Quintessential 80S!
My LORD!!! What a voice!!! Really beauuuuutiful.......
I'm glad I grew up in the 80's!!
SAME
Me and my brother also. 👍
Born in Nov of 1968 , LOVE the 80s
Me too....
me too!
If someone said show me the 80’s, this is the video, the music, the clothes, the hair, Patty looking hot as hell and the dance moves it all perfectly encapsulates the 80’s
Patty Smyth has the perfect voice for hard rock/new wave. She's in the same echelon as Ann Wilson and Linda Ronstadt. Unfortunately Scandals 's 1984's hit, "Beat of a Heart❤", doesn't garner the respect it deserves......
