This song is catchy has but it actually a powerful message. We live in PSUEDO world of consumerism and classism. Found out if you from the East End of London, you are a working class and West End you come from the well off or rich area
it was so exciting being a teenager in the 80's when the Shoppies first hit the charts. My first concert at 16 was their Performance tour. Later I went off to Uni and forgot about them for a few decades - only to discover all the albums from Behaviour onwards that I'd missed during lockdown enforced WFH. Now a huge fan again 35 years later.... all thanks to You Tube + Covid!
Glad that all these Top Of The Pops appearances from the 80s have been posted today! Watching them all, thanks Pet Shop Boys for the great music, keep going, and wishing Chris and Neil all the best.
When I first heard this song on the radio back in 1986, it blew me away. I knew at that moment I needed to buy that record. That was my all-time favorite from the 80s. ❤ 😃 👍
Marvelous, i love you Boys. ❤️ ❤️ Magic song that began everything and now we are part of us and you Neil and Chris are a huge part of our lives. 🙌🏻 Million kisses 💋 💋 💋 💋
Che Meravigliosa Melodia anni 80!!! Grazie a Dio che lo' Vissuta anche se in Carrozzina per un grave incidente che tutt'oggi porto le conseguenze!!! i ♥️80!! un' Buon Giovedì a Tutti Voi 💕
irrumpieron como pocos con un sonido so british, minimalismo tecno y privacidad inglesa al maximo ..... la síntesis del ADN del pop y la nueva música que la generación necesitaba,,,, fresca.... amplia... introspectiva
The first version of the song was produced by Bobby Orlando and was released on Columbia Records' Bobcat Records imprint in April 1984, becoming a club hit in the United States
For those in the US this aired 01/09/1986, and was number one for two weeks 01/11/86-01/18/86. West End Girls reached number one in the US on 05/10/86, or for those in the UK 10/05/86.
in the first few seconds before Neil starts to sing, the blue light reflects on the lower part of his face and I was thinking he's wearing a mask......The performance is awesome :)
Whenever I hear this 80's music I seem to imagine the victoria's secret models walking down the runway or on the red carpet with their dreamy fabulous clothes. 🌞🌹🎉
Neil Tennant was no fool. He worked with Bernard Sumner on Electronic. The guy is a legend in the formative world of post punk Electronica, along with New Order. These guys literally built the new wave sound. That, and no smiles on TOTP, fuck them!
Dressed like a bouncer but looks cool as fuck. You wouldn't put a bomber jacket with a shirt and tie but I think I'm putting that look in my rotation when autumn. cones back

Chris can't help smiling here :) "Hey Neil, we've made one of the best songs ever."
Excellent performance. Wish I was there, but I wasn't born yet.
! I was 5 when this came out 😀
Excellent playback.
I was 4 in another continent :/
I was 13 and 1500 km away.. sh....
I was 8
"Boy" smiles in this vid! Great times the 80's, this could be the decades theme song.
Aah eighties was a magical decade
I was the West End Girl, living in Nottinghill Gate. He was the East end Boy from Algate East. I'll never forget it. . . . .
This sounds like something from the era of the Krays.
Pet Shop Boys forever
Still love this song!
It was featured in the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics - it was a standout! 😊
Go U.K !❤
Remember this in 1986
God I’m old
Still sounds great today
Still my all time favourite song. So began a life long love of their music.
Yessss 🥰🥰
Great song, love it.
This fantastic song about London culture, feels like something from the era of the Krays.
It probably was.
Glad that all these Top Of The Pops appearances from the 80s have been posted today! Watching them all, thanks Pet Shop Boys for the great music, keep going, and wishing Chris and Neil all the best.
epic live performance
Love this song, from Lake Geneva to the Finland Station!

I was only 7yo and born in Brazil. Heard this song the first time in 1989. I gone crazy and picked up a tape to record it while playing on the radio.
teared up for a era i wasnt alive to enoy this masterpiece the way they felt
These top of the pops are great treasures of music. It’s funny how Neal danced a bit in the early days lol. Superb timeless music.
I was 5 years old when this came out
O Melhor sempre!! Abraço do BRAZIL!!!
The clapping is perfect !! Good times ! 80’z always 🔥🔥

Hoy en dia, no hay ningún artista que supere a los de los años 60 70 80 90
I remember in 1986 ,❤with 6 years this music..
Remember this gem 💎 when I was a kid, very radio friendly.. heard it a lot places anyone of “ what where you doing “ at that moment lol 😂
For those in the US this aired 01/09/1986, and was number one for two weeks 01/11/86-01/18/86. West End Girls reached number one in the US on 05/10/86, or for those in the UK 10/05/86.

Boy I was -30 years old when this concert was happening 😆
I think Neil Tennant was around 30 too at that time.
Wonderful Sound...I love it 🤩
Ай ту
Paul Rutherford dancin in the background? Top tune.
Upvoted and subscribed. Wasn't the 1980s music the best by far. Just really uplifting - well maybe not 99 Red Balloons lol.
Wow!!! I love the videos ♥ I love the PSB ♥♥♥♥♥
80s New Wave rules!
from there to eternity

Listening to this music all the time when playing gta V. Tried it as well at the karaoke

3:03 'From Lake Geneva To The Fulham Station'
I’m getting Pet Shop Boys vibes. Yes I’m THAT old (West End Girls - if anyone wants to check them out)
Sucks getting old, but man, those were the days, and I wouldn't change a thing
Pet Shop Boys 2022 🔊
