30-some odd years later, I still think this is a fantastic song. I remember my aunt, in buying the album for me, said that the rest of the album sounded very different from Safety Dance. I said, that's ok. And I'm glad for it. This is a gem that I'm glad made it to the US release.
Originally, this track was on the EP 'Folk Of The 80's' (1980). In my opinion, it's one of Men Without Hat's best tracks out of their entire music catalog.
Despite "Safety Dance" is the song that let me feel the biggest euphoria and no other song could do that to me, I play Antarctica most oftenly:) I got bored with Safety Dance and Antarctica is now my favourite track of Men Without Hats
Yes, Berlin, OMD, or just about any other synth-pop band of the era. I’d say this song was a bit ahead of its time, as in the subject matter, not the music itself. BUT, from about 1983 till today, October 28, 2020, I have not heard this song, yet when the word Antarctica is mention with a certain inflection I instantly sing this chorus, with its strange and catchy pronunciation of the word. So here’s my point- Music and the mind are incredibly interdependent, and our ability to recognize certain sounds and the triggers they set off, similar to how certain smells do the same thing, instantly put you “there” in a place or more often with a person with whom you associate that smell, most notably your early girlfriends perfume. This recollection ability far surpasses what our conscious mind can recall without the proper stimuli. Music especially has powers of imprint on the mind and the triggering of memories far exceeding what was previously thought was possible, being compared to a powerful computer’s ability to recall information not noted for decades. Some of us can recall and repeat the whole of songs we haven’t heard in 38 years. Can you repeat what your 5 grade teacher said everyday of school? How about, if you’re old enough, you’re wedding vows from 35+ years ago, or a sermon, or a lesson, whatever? But with music, it is recalled verbatim without consciously seeking that memory. Incredible. I never knew they had a video for this. Never knew that three of the band members were brothers. Never knew they were from Canada, not England. And Ivan’s voice and delivery made the song. That’s not as common as you’d think.
I love how they are from Montréal, one of my favourite cities. I remember one of the first times hearing this song blasting in my car while I was on my way to a meeting in Montréal when I just started a new job!
Never new what this music was about but it planted a seed that lead me to explore the caps. Had to see what was there. This song has haunted me for a long time. Thanks for posting.
What a great song, and great, original music and sound for the time. Ivan's voice is so powerful. Being such a hard rock and heavy metal fan, I'm shocked at how much I loved Men Without Hats. This video, well, it's weak. I could have done so much more with it, but seeing them young and hungry, is still great. I do wonder if Ivan really played that great bass line? Wahi' Valleys
Antarctica -- Antarctica Antarctica -- Antarctica Ice age is here, right in your town Antarctica, look what you've done And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme And I, I feel like you really know what I mean Nightfall's heartbeat, the street's in a mess On reflection, the beach is endless And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme And I, I feel like I really know what I mean It's my turn -- it's my turn Antarctica -- Antarctica No day, no night, and always the sound Ice protector ??

Somos privilegiados los que conocemos y gozamos en lo más profundo de nuestro corazón este gran y poderoso género cómo lo es el Rock llevándonos a un mundo de magia y sueños 😈🤘🏿
This sounds a bit too modern to be from 1980. It's got that 1982 sound. I'd be interested to hear the 1980 version. Funny how two years can make a difference.
Pretty sure the recordings on the EP and ROY LP are the same. The LP version is edited and considerably shorter but if you listen to them back to back the vocals and everything are identical. I think the EP version has an extra verse as well.
From the USA album "Rhythm Of Youth", but it is really released on their EP "Folk Of The 80's". It looks like this is from their EP since the one guy in the back isn't in their videos from "Rhythm Of Youth".
I think the song Things In My Life and The Great Ones Remember should have been singles too from their debut album Rhythm Of Youth. These two songs as well as The Safety Dance, I Like and I Got The Message...should have been the only five singles released from this album.
Recuerdos vienen a mi mente maravillosos años 80, recuerdo que antes de entrar a la disco nos tomábamos unos tragos y después a bailar con las chibolas y a chapar como locos .
Great choice of songs! This gem 💎 was played in LA on KROQ by Richard Blade during the glory days of this great radio station. Thank you 🙏 Richard for all the wonderful memories
+Samuel Lacher *This song very well portrays the way that I feel when I come into my house from outside. My father grew up in Minnesota, so he keeps the air conditioner set to a temperature that he grew up in and is comfortable with. It is comparable to that of Antarctica's.

Pasan los años y sigue sonando mejor que la primera vez que lo escuché. Saludos desde Perú!

Claaaaro de niño pasaba por alguna calle de comas con mi madre y ahí escuché esta canción la recuerdo , año 85 - 86 tal vez ..
Hola ,, soy del 74 , y se lo que dices , recuerdo mucho está canción desde muy pequeño , es del 82
Rythum of Youth was definitely one of the great albums of the 1980's. All the songs were excellent!
30-some odd years later, I still think this is a fantastic song. I remember my aunt, in buying the album for me, said that the rest of the album sounded very different from Safety Dance. I said, that's ok. And I'm glad for it. This is a gem that I'm glad made it to the US release.
Hate to break it to you, it's been almost 40 years(!).. I would steal my older brother's cassette and listen to this song on his walkman.
And I would've been that auntie/tia, I would by music for my nephews. I don't care for Safety Dance, and I can't pinpoint it, but this is my favorite.
This song mesmerized me when it was released in 1980 and still does today 44 years later...one of the greatest new wave songs!
Originally, this track was on the EP 'Folk Of The 80's' (1980). In my opinion, it's one of Men Without Hat's best tracks out of their entire music catalog.
when was the video filmed? 1980 or 1982 ?
szymikon1980 It was filmed in 1980, shortly after the EP was released.
Thanks, I wondered how did he look in 1980 compared to Safety Dance videoclip filmed in 1983.
szymikon1980 You're welcome.

One of the more underrated songs in the 1980s. I never really understood why this song cratered so badly back then.
They should have released it in the UK in 1982, it was just the type of sound that was doing really well at that time over here.
@@ajs41 IIRC they did release it there at the time. I think that the field was just too competitive back then.
Best song.
40 years later, I'm still bumping this song ... I just love it!
Good intro..
Solamente ésta canción le barre a todo el maldito regayton.
Tiene razón 😏
@RG4 Ismaelike ya esta escuchando la musica
Son distintos géneros. No es para compararlos
Correcto estas en lo.cierto 👍🏼👍🏼🎸🎸
I bought this tape as a teen and to this day I will randomly exclaim “Antarcticaaaaaa!”
Ah, the 80s. Where "shot on VHS with weird color settings" constituted a creative music video.
It's better than any music video produced in the last 25 years in my opinion.
This is pretty much Men Without Hats one synthesizer "heavy metal" song. Absolutely dark, ominous and great! Wahi' Valleys
Wonder if they ever did it during the Sideways era.
Encontramos la canción que buscamos en todo lugar!!! Siiiiiiii!!
Tal vez sea esto un efecto Mandela yo también la estabo buscando por años porq un día la esc uche en la radio 😲
This has always been my favorite Men without hats song.
what is your second favorite song of them?
@@__Mr.White__Arctic
nice @@marioxavi1998
What a fucking cool Prince Charming ! Can t believe I ve never heard it before ...
This has always been in the back of my mind since the 80's. I had to find it tonight. I remember most of it. Its a really catchy tune.
Compositionally it reminds me of a few early Berlin songs.

Best band from Montreal. Martha and the Muffins are my other favourite Canadian band.
One of my favorite songs from the 80's. Can't wait to see them tomorrow night at the Brooklyn Bowl!

Antarctica -- Antarctica
Antarctica -- Antarctica
Ice age is here, right in your town
Antarctica, look what you've done
And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme
And I, I feel like you really know what I mean
Nightfall's heartbeat, the street's in a mess
On reflection, the beach is endless
And I, I feel like I've cheated your scheme
And I, I feel like I really know what I mean
It's my turn -- it's my turn
Antarctica -- Antarctica
No day, no night, and always the sound
Ice protector ?? (Antarctica)
It's me that's found
And I, I feel like I'm really part of your scene
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
Pictures moving, and always the whirls
Antarctica, where are you now (Antarctica)
And I, I feel like I'm really part of your scheme
And I, I feel like you're losing your dream
Antarctica -- Antarctica -- Antarctica
It's my turn
Antarctica -- Antarctica
Water's bending all out of shape
Antarctica
I say jump boy before it's too late
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
And I, I feel like I'm lost in your scheme
Antarctica -- Antarctica
Antarctica -- Antarctica
And I, I feel like you know what I mean
And I, I feel like I'm really lost in your scene
It's my turn -- it's my turn
It's my turn -- it's my turn
It's my turn -- it's my turn

The Interesting 1980´s Song and Merry Christmas
Es una joya esto!
me transporto a cuando tenia 7 años este tema
Correction: This is on the USA release of the album Rhythm Of Youth, but it is originally on their first EP called Folk Of The 80's.
Alot of people were listening to the Cars and missed alot of this music.
Esta cancion tiene 41 años. Mamma mia!! Como a pasado el Tiempo, me recuerda cuando era un Adolescente, y bailarín!!
Antarctica...!!!lo maximo este tema ochentero...
tu si que sabes de musica amigo, bien por ti
Don't know what you're saying but the music is dope
Somos privilegiados los que conocemos y gozamos en lo más profundo de nuestro corazón este gran y poderoso género cómo lo es el Rock llevándonos a un mundo de magia y sueños 😈🤘🏿
Creo q iría al género synth pop o new wave
The song also appeared on their 1980 EP "Folk of the 80's".
Was that an earlier version?
Yep
This is also on the USA release of Rhythm Of Youth too.
This sounds a bit too modern to be from 1980. It's got that 1982 sound. I'd be interested to hear the 1980 version. Funny how two years can make a difference.

This inmortal song goes better than codeïne after breking my Clavicle today
this was Men without hats
now Men without jobs😅
oooooohhhhhhh.....yeeeeeahhhhhh!!!!
Awesome song
perfect in 2018
Always wish they would have lowed the volume on the keyboard and amped up the crunchy guitar on this particular song.
You mean rhythm guitar? Yeah, I too think that it should be 30% louder.
its like that because the high piched keyboard reminds you of cold antarctica
