Kathy is very attractive and pretty, and she has great facial features which many models wish they had. The problem was that punk hairstyle she wore all those years which didn't do her justice.
I’ve heard this song before, but this is the first time I’ve seen this music video. Finding gems like this is one of the reasons why TH-cam is my favorite entertainment source.
Absolutely! I also watched initially assuming I didn't know the song, but by the chorus, the memory came back. Never saw the video back in the day. It's a bit disturbing how Belinda looks like DiCaprio in the Basketball Diaries... lol...
4 minutes of pure joy from the Go-Go's...! Takes me right back to 1984. Wish things today were as joyful and trouble-free as they were in the 80's. Sigh.
Really? Happy and carefree times? Patient Zero spread AIDS from Africa in 1980, and it was a full blown pandemic by 1983. The divorce rate was at 50%, so many of us had bad or non existent parents. After that, GenX couldn't get any jobs because the economy was tanking since 1974. And Reagan, a closer Communist, made it even worse with his policies, and trillion dollar deposit. The Millenials were spoiled and fattened up to be led to slaughter later. The only people who were carefree were The asshole Silent and Boomer generations who fucked everything up.
Yes, I remember being their Greatest album on cassette and thinking they had saved the best for last when Turn To You, which was last on the album, came on.
In 1984, pop fans told the Go-Go's that they would "Turn To You" ! In July 2024 they are still turning to this Darling "Girl Pop Band"! Truly an underrated tune! Young Rob Lowe looked great in that video. He was a great compliment!
If I had a magic wand and could turn any music video into a full length movie it would be this one. I need backstory and resolution for all these characters.
Yeah, I can't quite figure out the message. Everyone is enjoying the music but is that only made possible by the fact that the band is all male (or looks that way)? The men on the dance floor are being gentlemen and respectful to the ladies they're dancing with, but is that only because they look uber feminine? Would they be as gentle with women who looked more 'Tomboyish?' Do I ask too many questions? Probably.
@@stephaniegormley9982 story of women musicians in the early 60’s who can’t book a gig due to sexism so they have to go full reverse Mrs Doubtfire, except for the drummer, this ruse lead to romantic / comedic complications and hijinks straight out of Shakespeare
Oh yea, I knew that even when I was 22 years old in 84.I felt so smart, like I was the only one who knew what it meant. Gina looks quite pretty playing drums more feminine. Kind of like Dolly.
Everything about this song is great, the vocals, drums, guitar, arraignment etc. There last album was the best in my book. Shame they only made 3. Head over heels is a seriously great song too.
I am so happy this video is finally available. I had been racking my brain in trying to remember which of their videos had Rob Lowe in it. I remember being a kid and watching it when it was first released. Rob Lowe had already starred in The Outsiders and I thought he was the most handsome man on Earth.
This is EXACTLY how rich people parties at country clubs were in the early/mid eighties. Body language and dance moves, even the vocal intonations in the small talk at the beginning. This song is so much BETTER than say "Vacation" or even "Head over Heels" Jane Wiedlin is so GEORGEOUS here like a young Elizabeth Taylor
I’ve loved this song for over thirty years. I’ve found nothing that even comes close to in regards to energy, execution and sheer enjoyability. And it rocks. Power Pop at its pinnacle.
Wow! Why am I just seeing this for the first time today? What evil operative kept this from me in '84? Wardrobe must have paid a visit to Flip and Cowboys and Poodles, dig the madras and dinner jackets, nice Rob Lowe pre-Brat-Pack appearance by the way.
@@wynstonsmith7194 Ha! I think the real reason I missed this video is, I was no longer paying attention to the Go-Go's in '84 (I graduated high school in '82, they were huge in my peer group in '81). Part of the tragedy of an exploding music scene, missing cool stuff you thought was lame, but really wasn't.
@@johnnymfan5065 It should have charted higher in my opinion. If you think about, there are a lot of bands that would kill to have a single chart anywhere in the top 40.
@@swtv1754 Yea all the new wave bands with different sounds were on major labels but could never get a song into the top 40, even though they were great songs. Im glad I had the radio station WLIR and MTV in the first few years. We played it 24/7 in my home.
Two very amused thumbs up 👍 👍for this unusual video from The GoGos-I almost forgot about this clip-it was not played for a lotta years ANYWHERE- much less YT-& I was VERY pleased to find this on my home page-the ladies look GREAT in this video-both in AND out of drag! Still look AND sound GRREAT 2day,these gals sure do!👏👌
Until tonight I never knew this song was made into a video. I considered myself a big Go-Go's fan back in the 80s, especially their first album. Always watched their vids on MTv too. Just never saw this one.
...FINALLY, this classic gem is back on TH-cam!!...a HEART-FELT-THANKS for uploading this!!...now I'm going back to my "80's Time Machine" and relive the best years of my life!!!...
@No One I never knew that. But it makes sense now. Jane was a brillant songwriter. That song had a very good raw production especially for 1984. Capture the Light was another excellent track.
One of the BEST early vids of the MTV generation! Incredibly fun and goofy, Jane looks like a young Elizebeth Taylor! All the girls looked great in and out of drag!
@silverbird58 I can listen to all types of music. Even big band music, ANDREW Sisters, Rosemary Clooney, old country back to Jimmie Rodgers. (Spelling?) Of course the 50's and 60's on up. I was born in the early 60's. My first favorite group was the Rolling Stones. And I like Abba, Connie Francis, name it. Blues, bluegrass, soul, rockabilly, Classical music too. :)
I liked The Go-Go's alot! This was/is my favorite of there's. And yes, they do need to be inducted into the RARHOF! They were sorely dismissed in their brief but solid career, even to this day, the Bangles get a little bit more respect. Ironic, since the Go-Go's paved the way for them. The Go-Go's had a good time party sound, much like the B52's.
The Go Gos are now in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. LETS ENJOY WHAT THEY HAVE CREATED..
I’ve been listening to the Go-Gos since 1982 and never saw this video.
Me too! I am just watching this for the first time ever today and it's May 11, 2024. Where was this hidden gem all these years? Lol

Jennifer Lawrence should play her in the bio-pic.

I remember when it played on MTV. It is now decades later that I realized that was Rob Lowe!
same here. I NEVER saw this on Mtv and my TV stayed on that channel.... Channel 33 back in 1983

I've been going through the Billboard charts every night looking for songs I missed (like this one). I started with 1977 and I'm already up to 1984.

Put them in the rock and roll hall a fame
They should have been in the Hall long ago
They don't belong, they are not a shitty rap group🤣🤣🤣
Who cares about the hall of fame. But theyre great
Its comical that Joan Jett is in and they aren't.
They deserve to be in the rock and roll Hall of fame along with the Bangles.
This was a such a good song. It's so underrated.
GoGo's look better as a boy band than most boy bands. Icon piece of the 80's cast.
That is true. They do it well.
4 minutes of pure joy from the Go-Go's...! Takes me right back to 1984. Wish things today were as joyful and trouble-free as they were in the 80's. Sigh.

Featuring Bill Carlisle, Jim Wiedlin, Charlie Caffey, Karl Valentine, Gene Schock...and Rob Lowe!
This is literally the best Go Go’s song ever.
I agree, I have always said this since it first aired on radio back in the day.
Agree 100% It really showcases Belinda's incredible range
Yes, I remember being their Greatest album on cassette and thinking they had saved the best for last when Turn To You, which was last on the album, came on.
It's Belinda's least favorite track.

FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN THE OFFICIAL VIDEO!! Love The Song! - One of my Top 5 Go-Go's Songs!
That song never gets old!
Notice the drummer is the only one in the GROUP who's NOT in drag, but out on the floor, among the party GUESTS, she's the only one that IS .
Why is that? I am sure there is a clever reason for this.
Oh yea, I knew that even when I was 22 years old in 84.I felt so smart, like I was the only one who knew what it meant. Gina looks quite pretty playing drums more feminine. Kind of like Dolly.
Well, she's the only Lesbian in the group.
@@Themanwhocameback2 Yea, you got it. And,also, Jane is bisexual
@@Themanwhocameback2 That's relevant how?
One of their best tunes! NEVER heard on classic rock radio 📻 today.
This song has so much power. Belinda's voice! Jane was absolutely beautiful: like an Elizabeth Taylor type.
Jane very much had a Beatles style wig.
Everything about this song is great, the vocals, drums, guitar, arraignment etc. There last album was the best in my book. Shame they only made 3. Head over heels is a seriously great song too.
I love Belinda but I can't understand why she hates this song. It's one of their best, and her vocals on this are one of her best ever!
Their third album sounds GREAT today. This is another gem from that record. Rock and Roll Hall ...now.

This was shot in the historic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. The house is 46,000 square feet and was built in 1928.
