I'm so glad that I grew up in the 80s. Hey dose anyone remember "Good Rockin Tonight". It aired Friday nights on the CBC. Terry David Mulligan hosted it.
First exposure to a music video show. So awesome. A real treat. Night Ranger was one of my first video memories. Honeymoon Suite. Def Leppard. Good times. Oh, and of course, Corey Hart and Gino Vanelli.
Yes I do. I remember watching that show every single Friday night in the 80s in my early to mid teens. I watched it on CBC Television from Toronto where this show was broadcast on CBC from Vancouver.
Yes, I do. I would never miss a show. After him, it was hosted by Stu Jeffries. They would always start or end a show with 'Have you heard the news, there's good rockin' tonight."
I always loved Canadian rock from the eighties. It had a rawness, a purity that was not matched by bands from any other country at the time. The music was very unique. As a yank from the States; my 83 Ford Escort's radio cassette player played tapes (yes, tapes) from such bands as Honeymoon Suite, Glass Tiger, Haywire, Corey Hart, Frozen Ghost, and many others from the Great White North. I would give anything to go back to the Spring of 89', driving down some back country road in the area I grew up, while listening to "New Girl Now".
On and on indeed: Paradox, Toronto, Headpins, Rough Trade, Kim Mitchell, Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Blue Peter, Boys Brigade, Pursuit of Happiness, Barney Bentall, Brighton Rock, The Box, and we still havent even left the 80's.
My brother was a DJ and he could lip sync to anything... he looked like the lead singer here and it was 1990 when he died. This was on the radio and he harmonized as I drove him to his cancer treatment. I'll never forget his voice... he was 31. So its bittersweet every time I hear it. Happy tears now.
Annie Young I'm very sorry to hear about your brother and thanks for sharing his story. It's wonderful how some songs can take us back in time to such vivid moments in our lives.
Annie Young Yes, songs take us to special places. My Dad loved Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" which came out just after my Mom died. I have always loved "We Run". Thank you for sharing your beautiful memory with us.
+Annie Young - Hey No Worries about feeling a connection to music and your brother! I was in Brampton, ON learning to live without much of a family or even true friends for that matter. I guess the only that really mattered was CFNY 102.1 FM and the multitude of diverse music being played ABC/Aztec Camera - Yazoo/Paul Young and many artists in between! I took comfort in being the permanent outcast in my family, ethnic community and city where I was born and eventually left forever! Play the music and know that your brother lives on in your HEART!
As I write this, I just heard this over the radio while at work during cleanup and I just paused.....more like froze in time. I couldn't even work anymore. All I could think about was this song and I immediately shouted out does anyone know the name? No one, of course, could help me....but I found out the radio station and followed their playlist throughout the day and here I am. The chorus just froze me and for a split second.....time had stopped and I was flooded by a wave of nostalgia. I know I have heard this song once before as a child. I was born in 1982 so I had some memories of the 80's even though I wasn't old enough during those years. Thank god for music like this. Suddenly flashes of my life appeared before my eyes all because of a goddamn song. Incredible, incredible. One of the best damn melodies of the 80's and they're from my hometown of Canada. Geeez.....no wonder they're not more known.
Awesome hit from the eighties! Greatly agree the fact that so many Canadian bands had a powerful effect in the 80eez! Men Without Hats! Cory Hart! Bryan Adams! Gowan! Parachute Club! Gino Vanelli, Honeymoon suite, Luba, Glass Tiger... And these are the ones I can Think Of! Thankyou Canada! From a french Canadian!
When I hear this song, I feel like something is missing to me. It's difficult to explain. It's like souvenirs from an other life. It made me the same feeling when I heard this song in 1985.
The 1980s were a different world and the also the sounds and images from this decade. It was a magical time and there was a spirit that now unfortunately no longer exists. It was a time that creates a feeling like no other😉.
This is one of those songs that I would hear on the radio and really liked but never was able to find out the artist or title. I would happen to catch it part way through after the DJ had already introduced it (maybe) or when it ended the next song would begin and anyway, I never found out. Gradually I'd hear it less and less and it was finally forgotten. Today driving home from work I put on my Daily Mix from Spotify and they had added this song. How clever of them. I nearly cried at the sudden wave of nostalgia that hit me.
ha ha I remember those days too. Catching the song 2 minutes in and waiting for the DJ so to say something about it but they always had a triple play going or they gave all the details beforehand. Very frustrating for us mix tape guys too 😂
If you like this song you may be pleased to know they are going on tour next year in 2019. If you would like more information about this tour you can go to their official website or to their Facebook fan page.
Living in Buffalo. NY, I spent the 80s listening to CFNY 102.1 out of Toronto-the "Spirit of Radio"- best damn music EVER! I completely forgot these guys...can't imagine why, they still sound great. Thanks for uploading!
Buffalo 'eh? I lived briefly at 174 Woodbridge Ave with my Aunt in 1976 and again in the summer of 1982. I used to spend some of my extra cash at Howard's House of Hocus Pocus! Be well. Velox Versutus Vigilans
We were lucky because the radio stations would just hand over this to us. We didn't have to think. Today, there's a million artists who can publish a song instantly across the world on the internet. Today's music isn't garbage. It just takes effort to find. Give the kids a break. Anyway, it's not like you personally were making any of the good music of the 80s.
This song will always remind me of my co-worker. I sang the opening the lyrics randomly one night while I was having a smoke with my co-worker in her old chevy truck while on break at work. It was a typical a chilly winter night. She turned and said to me that she loved that song and I asked "whats the name of that song? i only know the lyrics" (my memory is terrible for songs). She told me the name of the song and the band. She told me of how it reminded her of her younger days. Rest in Peace Darleen, I'll never forget you.
The old legion men gets me too. How many lost? What they had to endure. In 2021 people bitching about having to wear masks. We have no idea what sacrifice is.
This song reminds me of all the good times i had as kid in Kamloops. My parents gone now, and my older brother who is my hero struggling with his health now, i cant even say how many good memories this song brings.
Agreed! My Dad and I (God rest his soul) attended a myriad of concerts at Ye Olde Winnipeg Arena co-located by Polo Park (and Chi-Chis back in the day). My first ever concert was seeing Styx: Paradise Theater...nosebleed section in the late 70's and we continued actually until 1989 or thereabouts (John Cougar and Neil Diamond were the last two). Good times! Velox Versutus Vigilans
@@burningblue1254 River Heights 'eh? I pulled the odd job as a sub teacher at Queenston Heights school back in the day. From Woodhaven originally but River Heights rocks as a community in my humble estimate. Many historic manors there as well as some good family sized units. It's a classic neighbourhood with an historic mix of homes. And YES the 1970's was an equal era in terms of importance for music. There were a TON of local garage bands that played the circuit around the Winnipeg Area. My Dad used to regale us with stories of bands performing at the then Airliner Hotel and how these bands would do parodies of the current hits on the radio back then (the early 1970's). I remember the joy getting Harlequin cassettes in the 1980's for Christmas!!!😁 Thanks for sharing friend! Velox Versutus Vigilans
Great song! Canada has always flourished with such amazing talent and continue's to do so to this day! I am so proud to be from a place filled with such beautiful and talented people. (Toronto, ON)

I just love the 1980s music. This decade is always going to be my favourite decade. The sound. The hope for a better and more peaceful future. For me, it was a time of coming of age, from adolescence to adulthood. ❤
In the middle of a cold Canadian winter, a good dose of Strange Advance is all it takes to heat things up. One of the finest artists and songs to come out of Canada! I am so damn proud to be Canadian, especially when you see hot guys like this who give us such a good reputation. YOU KNOW IT, YAAAAA!
There still is. Just don't be lazy and look for it. We are in the internet age. Use Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple music, Amazon music, TH-cam etc. Go find it. Depending on the radio to find new music was your first mistake.
It fully encapsulates (my word for the day) the feeling of being a teen in the 80’s - the hope and heartbreak. Someone invent a working time machine already...

I still hear this song when walking through a mall or in a restaurant and it always makes me stop to listen. The video has just as much impact as well. I have yet to hear music with the same quality and impact as it did back then. I'm proud to say the 80's music was part of my era.
jeffiecapello This is one exceptional work that rode the tide of minor begun by Pink Floyd's The Wall in '79, peaking mid-80's, and running to early '90's. Please check out my reply to Disley in the comments.
jeffiecapello I agree the spirit of radio was soundtrack of my teens youth in TORONTO (I was born in 1971), I still go to retro parties w DJ Shannon at velvet underground and sometimes she spins at dance cave - above Lees Palace. These venues are where I hear retro new wave music....

This song was all I listened to on repeat pretty much every night in February to April 2020, It was such a tough time. This song, it makes you feel a certain way, back then my grandmother went into hospital and passed later in march, and it was such a weird time with covid, lockdowns, and no one around and the world in my eyes being ruined. All I wanted to do was to go back in time. This song still gets to me today, the same way it did in early 2020, it's weird how one song can tie so many memories together
Thanks for the strange advance music videos.....how much I miss the 80s, music take my breathe away...so mesmerizing and awesome.....these bands in the 80s just spectacular......bring back many great memories.....
Just wanted you to know that Strange Advance will be going on tour next spring/summer in 2019. There official website and Facebook fan page has all the details.
Strange Advance is touring into 2024. Mostly Drew Arnott and some VERY talented musicians that genuinely know their craft and have a love of music... they sound great live !
Always good to see recognition of Canadian performers. Even from the US. I think I still have my LP of Worlds Away/Strange Advance. Thirty-odd years later.
Some songs have the strange ability to conjure emotions from that time in your life and you may not even know why. For me, this is one of those songs. I'm listening with my soul rather than my ears. Melodie by Boys Brigade was another.
Funny how back then...life seemed so hard. Here we are many many years later and alot smarter...sometimes wish I could go back!! The 70's and 80's were the time for sure!!
I’m here because of the Lux Windows commercial flooded me with a wave of nostalgia after hearing this song in the 5 seconds it was on-screen. Glad I was able to track down the song and bands name. I first heard this tune in the 80’s and haven’t heard it since.
What are you taking about Vancouver is drug and needle infested sewer these days 1985 was ok a million planes from China filled with immigrants from China have landed since 1985 house prices have gone up over 10 Times.
I'm a big fan of Strange Advance as well and wanted you to know that they are going on tour next year in 2019. If you want more details they have a Facebook fan page and an official website
I also remember this tune on muchmusic. I'm almost 50 now and I guess the 80's was our decade. Great memories of muchmusic staff, Dan Gallagher and others who hosted the show...

I was raised during this time in highschool..had a blast...like this song. But i am not going to lament about it ,love all music. I am glad to be alive and having fun listening to new music!!.
There was some amazing music in the 80s but I have to say this is probably in my top 10.The music of the 80s wasn’t all auto tuned these were all talented artists.
I can be walking in a mall and far off in the distance of a large flagship store I could swear I hear this song! I will stop, say to my wife "do you hear that" she will say "hear what" I will then rush to a ceiling speaker that I can hear it the best and stop and with a big grin start moving to the beat. This pissed my wife off to no end but I just can't help it, this song never grows old for me!!!!
I'm 22 but I completely agree with what your'e saying- I would do ANYTHING to have grown up in the 80s- Here's to hoping that the music we have coming will be comparable :)
Man..I haven't heard this song in like 25 freakin years! God, it takes me back to my high school dances in 83/84! I was into the New Wave scene, burgundy hair, baggy suits, frilly shirts, eye liner! LOL! God did I ever love those days!

Electric drums….electric keyboards…..big hair….turned up collars……shoulder pads….skinny ties!….trench coats return…. The beat….the 80s. They were the best of times, they were the wor….no, they were the best of times.
A truly beautiful song,a amazing video clip...oh the 80s...the best decade in music,movies and television..today music is garbage, a lot of technology has damaged movies and television shows are useless and unfunny!
I heard this as the end theme to a film called something like 'the blue line' which was about someone running a marathon I think: possibly a Canadian film. I was impressed with the track and sought it out. Not sure I ever found the film again,but loved this song,thanks for posting.
Who says there's no such thing as time travel. I'm sitting here listening to this and my early teenage years are running though my head again. Thanks for posting this.
The best era of my life! I was so happy back then.! I'd do anything to go back to the 80's the mu$ic was so meaningful and he💜rtfelt back then! U can't beat it!
The 80's wave table tech added an element to music that came out of the 70's. So one has to consider the 70's musics extended into the mid 80's before the rap and grunge.
I'm so glad that I grew up in the 80s. Hey dose anyone remember "Good Rockin Tonight". It aired Friday nights on the CBC. Terry David Mulligan hosted it.

So cool! So many more you could have put on that list (Tragically Hip, Rush, Saga, Guess Who...)
Only the Brits and Canadians were producing this kind of music in the 80's. It is brilliant.
Canadian here, eh. Here's another obscure canuck classic from the era:
th-cam.com/video/nYm0WiQ4W70/w-d-xo.html
"1989" springtime"..good choice😎👍
THE most underrated tune of the 1980’s.
Chiliwack, April Wine, Chalk Circle, Pagliaro, Looking Glass, Guess Who, BTO, Poppy Family, Terry Jacks, it’s goes on and on. So much talent.
Chilliwack! Yeah!! :)
On and on indeed: Paradox, Toronto, Headpins, Rough Trade, Kim Mitchell, Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Blue Peter, Boys Brigade, Pursuit of Happiness, Barney Bentall, Brighton Rock, The Box, and we still havent even left the 80's.

I still hear this song when walking through a mall or in a restaurant and it always makes me stop to listen. The video has just as much impact as well. I have yet to hear music with the same quality and impact as it did back then.
I'm proud to say the 80's music was part of my era.
We sure had some great music then!!
jeffiecapello This is one exceptional work that rode the tide of minor begun by Pink Floyd's The Wall in '79, peaking mid-80's, and running to early '90's. Please check out my reply to Disley in the comments.
Dean Godin We had cfny 102.1 in Toronto then, this was on the major tide there...EH??
jeffiecapello I agree the spirit of radio was soundtrack of my teens youth in TORONTO (I was born in 1971), I still go to retro parties w DJ Shannon at velvet underground and sometimes she spins at dance cave - above Lees Palace. These venues are where I hear retro new wave music....

This song was all I listened to on repeat pretty much every night in February to April 2020, It was such a tough time. This song, it makes you feel a certain way, back then my grandmother went into hospital and passed later in march, and it was such a weird time with covid, lockdowns, and no one around and the world in my eyes being ruined. All I wanted to do was to go back in time. This song still gets to me today, the same way it did in early 2020, it's weird how one song can tie so many memories together
Yup.
I remember buying this album when I was 15 and wore out the record by playing this song over and over, fantastic song
A great Canadian band! Great, great, GREAT song. One of my "desert island" songs.
One of the 80's best songs - Canada has the best singers hands down :)
I miss these songs the eighties the times were so easy back then
No they weren't , just seemed that way...but I would go back in a heartbeat!!
@@jeffiecapello well better than times now it was easier back then in the eighties decades
Still sends a chill down my spine!thanks guys!!!
Thanks for the strange advance music videos.....how much I miss the 80s, music take my breathe away...so mesmerizing and awesome.....these bands in the 80s just spectacular......bring back many great memories.....
Just wanted you to know that Strange Advance will be going on tour next spring/summer in 2019.
There official website and Facebook fan page has all the details.
This amazing song should have broken big into the US market as well.
Still a classic.
Strange Advance is touring into 2024. Mostly Drew Arnott and some VERY talented musicians that genuinely know their craft and have a love of music... they sound great live !
Always good to see recognition of Canadian performers. Even from the US. I think I still have my LP of Worlds Away/Strange Advance. Thirty-odd years later.
Only the Brits and Canadians were doing this kind of music
Lost my music pod 10 yrs ago. Spent last few yrs searching all brit pop 80s. Didnt know til now they canucks!😅
Phenomenal music and song and Canadian at that!
Thanks to CBC's Good Rockin' Tonight for introducing me to great Canadian artists like Strange Advance !
Great decade for Canadian bands. Miss those days, loverboy ,chillawack, chalk cirlce , one to one so many great canadian bands.
The Guess Who, Rush, Triumph , StreetHeart, Gordon LightFoot
Blue Peter
Spoons, Platinum Blonde, Honeymoon Suite, Corey Hart, Parachute Club, The Box, and other Canadian bands!
Payolas
wow! Emotions and tears...the eighties are always living....
Getting those on a tape to listen on a Walkman.. man I miss those years.
Was so simple, people were happier..
OMG I haven't heard this song in so long. I remember dancing to this gem back in the 80's. What a time. Cheers from Ottawa🍁
It is sad to lose loved ones,it haunts you for life.This is an amazing song that has also stuck with me forever.
Some songs have the strange ability to conjure emotions from that time in your life and you may not even know why. For me, this is one of those songs. I'm listening with my soul rather than my ears. Melodie by Boys Brigade was another.
Thanks for posting this... these guys opened for Tina Turner in Atlantic Canada in 81 or 82.
Great memories!!!!!!!
Funny how back then...life seemed so hard. Here we are many many years later and alot smarter...sometimes wish I could go back!! The 70's and 80's were the time for sure!!
This is such a strong chilling song. 🔥💫
I’m here because of the Lux Windows commercial flooded me with a wave of nostalgia after hearing this song in the 5 seconds it was on-screen. Glad I was able to track down the song and bands name. I first heard this tune in the 80’s and haven’t heard it since.
Yes, I remember Good Rockin Tonight , I had some really great friends in the 80's and the music was so great ❤
Strange advance is from Vancouver Bc Canada I live in Vancouver so yay their is a good band from my city!
What are you taking about Vancouver is drug and needle infested sewer these days 1985 was ok a million planes from China filled with immigrants from China have landed since 1985 house prices have gone up over 10 Times.
I'm a big fan of Strange Advance as well and wanted you to know that they are going on tour next year in 2019.
If you want more details they have a Facebook fan page and an official website
@@g-forcepicker2613 WTF does that have to do with his statement you fucking Troll
I remember watching this video on MuchMusic back in the mid 80's when I lived in Kingston, Ontario.
I also remember this tune on muchmusic. I'm almost 50 now and I guess the 80's was our decade. Great memories of muchmusic staff, Dan Gallagher and others who hosted the show...

The energy from this song builds,just love the feeling from this one,thanks.
Great driving song
I was raised during this time in highschool..had a blast...like this song.
But i am not going to lament about it ,love all music.
I am glad to be alive and having fun listening to new music!!.
I'm 67,and was 29 first time I heard this...
Still makes me
feel young to
take on the world
Just came across my 12" single of this song. 9 minutes of greatness. Always one of my favourites. Sure do miss the 80s.
There was some amazing music in the 80s but I have to say this is probably in my top 10.The music of the 80s wasn’t all auto tuned these were all talented artists.
I can be walking in a mall and far off in the distance of a large flagship store I could swear I hear this song! I will stop, say to my wife "do you hear that" she will say "hear what" I will then rush to a ceiling speaker that I can hear it the best and stop and with a big grin start moving to the beat. This pissed my wife off to no end but I just can't help it, this song never grows old for me!!!!
This music is a master piece of art romantic and delicate and whimsical the passion of it all .... Makes you dreams worth while ...
I had cassette of this band, & adored this song. Modern background; excellent beat, never wanted this song to end....
Takes me back to when I first arrived in Vancouver as a boy in 1986 - lost & bewildered but full of wonder & excitement 🥹
I'm 22 but I completely agree with what your'e saying- I would do ANYTHING to have grown up in the 80s- Here's to hoping that the music we have coming will be comparable :)
This song immediately puts me on a ski hill in Quebec, where I was when I first heard it. A most decent memory I must say.
Oh ya. Heard many a great 80s song on thd Murray Hill bus to the slopes up north of Montreal.
Man..I haven't heard this song in like 25 freakin years! God, it takes me back to my high school dances in 83/84! I was into the New Wave scene, burgundy hair, baggy suits, frilly shirts, eye liner! LOL!
God did I ever love those days!
One of my favourite songs of the 80s without question! Just amazing!
This song gets a lot of airplay on Q107 Toronto today even though it never hit #1...good pop 80s tune!
this got played on music choice on cable tv which had a new wave channel until about 2009.
If you like this song you may be pleased to know they are going on tour next year in 2019.

True 80's tune love it
This song sure helped me through my depression-filled teen years, whew!
Here I am in 2022 still rocking out to this awesome song. Oh the nostalgia 🎶❤️🔥
WOW ! Brings back memories of High School!
AWESOME ! THANKS !
What a strange song to run to. Love the 80'S
the Lux Windows commercial is why I am here. I can't get this damn song out of my head. Apparently I was 10 when this came out.
These songs remind me of a simpler time! How quickly time flys.
I LOVE Strange Advance and of course 80's Music!!! xoxoxoxo : )
I noticed you are a fan of Strange Advance and wanted you to know they are going on tour in
2019. If you're interested in knowing more they do have an official website and they have a Facebook fan page as well.
Ahhh the 80s. What a time lost.
Music of these eras (mostly 80`s) reminds me so much of yesterday : great classics and gives memories !!
Electric drums….electric keyboards…..big hair….turned up collars……shoulder pads….skinny ties!….trench coats return…. The beat….the 80s. They were the best of times, they were the wor….no, they were the best of times.
Thank you for posting this song, not many ppl remember these guys from the 80's
The 80's,the best years for rock music.Bring it back.
Had never heard this song but just heard it on CBC radio-- love it !! Sounds very OMD-ish
Ultravox, is much closer in sound and production here. And that electric violin, too!

A truly beautiful song,a amazing video clip...oh the 80s...the best decade in music,movies and television..today music is garbage, a lot of technology has damaged movies and television shows are useless and unfunny!
I heard this as the end theme to a film called something like 'the blue line' which was about someone running a marathon I think: possibly a Canadian film. I was impressed with the track and sought it out. Not sure I ever found the film again,but loved this song,thanks for posting.
Who says there's no such thing as time travel.
I'm sitting here listening to this and my early teenage years are running though my head again.
Thanks for posting this.
The best era of my life! I was so happy back then.! I'd do anything to go back to the 80's the mu$ic was so meaningful and he💜rtfelt back then! U can't beat it!
found today an old tape with this song on it and now i can watch the video here. Thaaanks for posting
The 80's wave table tech added an element to music that came out of the 70's. So one has to consider the 70's musics extended into the mid 80's before the rap and grunge.
