God I still crush on Kathy Valentine. Those smokey eyes 🥵 p.s Who else remembers that Jane Weidlin also played Joan of Arc in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure? 😂
Jane also played a singing telegram messenger in the film "Clue". She got about 3 seconds into her telegram before she was shot and the door closed on her. Then there is Colleen Camp in that French maid uniform... hot!
These are all great women who paid their dues in rock and roll and found the success that they worked for. They fell out, then came back together and, in the end, still remained friends professionally and personally. And they still hold the record for a woman's group that attained their level of success with all original material they composed themselves. Long live the Go-Go's!
Back in 1981 shortly after the Go Go's recorded this music in studio C at A&M Records, I worked in the same studios with friends recording their first album. Andy Armer (my friend) was teaming with Herb Albert's nephew Randy. They had co-written Herb's #1 instrumental hit "Rise". Herb was selling them studio time for 50% of the going rate. I watched Herb lay down some tracks in another studio while I was there. It was great being young and at a place where memorial music was being made. I still have a pack of A&M matches. I used to go over to Marvin Gaye's house in Hidden Hills and play basketball with him and others, swim in his pool, play pool, kind gentle man. RIP Marvin. The 80's were a great time to be young and alive.
@Timothycpollock I certainly was. I also spent time with the Academy award winning actress Kim Basinger, who lived in Woodland Hills at the time. Sweet lady.
@@petemartin7589 @lawson862011 Amen to that. We lived out our young lives in the best era. Having the best of times. I would almost sell my soul to go back to those days. Cheers
If Madonna, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees and ABBA can be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, then it's time that The GO-GO'S, The Runaways and Pat Benatar should be inducted!They've all earned it!
As a 21yo in 1981 in the Navy going through tech school I was cleaning my barracks dorm room one Sat AM and had my small portable TV turned on to American Bandstand. On came the Go-Go's and I was hooked! And immediately fell in love with Jane and still am!
So when this song came out in 81, I was in the Navy. In those days, everyone was into AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Molly Hatchet, etc. Well, the moment I heard this song, I was hooked. The up-beat vibe and driving bass made it totally irresistible. Now, image in the Navy is EVERYTHING. No matter what, you absolutely MUST maintain that image of being a hard-as-nails, take-no-bullshit, hard-drinking/smoking/fighting hell-raiser or things get out of control pretty quickly, and I did a pretty good job at maintaining my image (I had to. I was only 20 at the time and a shop supervisor). Consequently, when I heard this song I knew I had to be REAL discrete when purchasing and listening to it. So come Christmas Eve, 1981, my roommate, one of the roughest, toughest, meanest, foulest-dispositioned third-class petty officers that ever wore the uniform was driving me over to Lindbergh Field (San Diego) for my flight home and Christmas leave when Our Lips Are Sealed came on the FM. Matt ROCKED OUT. When he mentioned what a great beat it had, I took a deep breath, debated momentarily whether I should open just a crack the vaulted door into my inner, most vulnerable self and said "Matt, I've got the tape at the top of my duffle bag. If you want it, I'll give it to you when we get to the airport", which I did. I still get a laugh at the thought of big ol', tough-as-nails Matt Smith (yeah, that really was his last name) getting off to this song.
For those asking about the ‘extra’ love verse Belinda sings, it is... ‘Careless talk through paper walls We can't stop them, only laugh at them Spreading rumors so far from true Dragged up from the underworld, just like some precious pearl’ They’ve always done it live, it just wasn’t in the studio version. Fun Boy Three didn’t use this verse, either.
@@imgoingtocountdownfromthir4580I don't think the Go-Go's were real big in the UK in the 80's? It would have been awesome to see/hear Jane and Terry perform this❤❤❤!
And here i am again. Can't stay away from the best girl band ever. Gina bangin out the rhythm with the gorgeous leggy Kathy on bass. Jane on rhythm guitar with that lovely bum, Belinda, and forgive me for not knowing the name of the brilliant lead guitarist. You are poppin gal. Proper band, never mind the female bit. Proper musicians and entertainers. Luvvem all.
The list of the acts eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 have been announced, and once again, THE GO-GO's have been overlooked. If Madonna, Earth Wind & Fire, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees and ABBA, are in the Hall of Fame, why on earth haven't THE GO-GO's been so honoured? They are SOOOOO deserving!!
Kathy Valentine is having fun with the bass line in that outro! Listen closely, it's a variation of the bridge part, but played off of the G and C chords in the chorus.
What a talent, what a voice and stage presence plus charisma. Super star professional and perfkrms with ease. She enjoys her audiences as much as performing. Wow!❤❤❤❤❤
It seems that this is the world...in music too. Many underrateds...unfortunately... But,on the other hand,they will remain in our memories,souls...and so on....
The dynamics in this live are far better than the original recording, it really brings out the chemistry of Gina and Kathy with the hooks in the song, they are truly underrated and old rocker fan Al downunder
I only rediscovered the Go Go's and realise how great they are with so many great songs and like the Bangles, theres many similarities. Both bands have professional bass players who can add great texture and rhythm to the songs. Both have a lead singer that went on to their own successful solo careers and friction and breakups because of that and reform again to play again to very happy crowds. Each girl is so different with pocket rocket smiling Jane on rhythm guitar, Hip swaying Kathy on bass and Belinda belting the numbers out sometimes without shoes on! This is the era when great melodies were made and music was fun and its good we can still hear these bands as they were so a new generation can discover them too...
@@edwardpate6128 Yeah thanks for that, i didnt realise she was in it and as i only just found out about Wedlin in the gogo's i wouldnt have made the connection years ago anyway! haha. I had a look at her in her scenes and shes great and such a pretty face- she could have been picked up as a actor if she was spotted as shes very camera friendly- Good enough for Hollywood!
I love The Go-Go's and their music so much. Such incredible talented women who can rock. So happy they finally are get inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where they belong. It's about time that is happening The Go-Go's deserve that recognition. 🥰❤️
Can you hear them? They talk about us Telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them? See right through them They have no shield No secrets to reveal Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed There's a weapon That we must use In our defense Silence When you look at them Look right through them That's when they'll disappear That's when we'll be feared It doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Pay no mind to what they say It doesn't matter anyway Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Hush, my darling Don't you cry Quiet angel Forget their lies Can you hear them? They talk about us Telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them? See right through them They have no shield No secrets to reveal Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Pay no mind to what they say It doesn't matter anyway Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Our lips are sealed Oh, our lips are sealed
Back then I really didnt know who belinda was but I didnt know who any artist was was to busy partying now thatim older and calmed down to realize things and life around me belinda has to be by far one of the greatest singers prob my favorite now
After learning about this band it has endeared me toward belinda she didnt think she should have an argument about the money she obvipusly got ripped off from she was having a great time enjoying herself belinda you gave as much as anyone to this band you are a fantastic person amd beautiful looking woman respect to you belinda
Fantastic and Supentist. I'm so glad they are all alive. Most bands have 1 or 2 succumb, on their path of self-destruction. rock and roll don't play around
@@jumpinjojo just follow Rolling Stone magazine list of top rated drummers. Have you ever heard Gina Schock play? Play some Gogos tunes in TH-cam and maybe you'll change your mind.
I was there. I have this thing called a "photo-album" filled with pictures that recorded events on a Viva-tar camera with film developed at a "Fotomat". I miss everything. I'm not even sure I feel bad that it will die with me. A true golden moment in time.
God I still crush on Kathy Valentine. Those smokey eyes 🥵

Yes!!!

Kathy was obviously themost talented, but got overlooked
Being old now is worth being young back then 🤘
That has to be the most profound thing I've read in about a month...I like that. I'm carrying that with me. Thank you.
Old now? As they say, once over the hill you roll FASTER!!!!
I'm 60 and young as ever.
David Lane Amen!
agreed..
Jane was my favorite. She looked fun.
The bassist though,,, she was AMAZING.
Kathy Valentine. Those eyes were so smoky they'd bring you to tears.
@@ray.shoesmith I agree... and that sexy zip front number she was wearing... smokin' hot. They only gave her a 2 second closeup in her bass solo.
Age is only a numbers. All it matters is what inside your body. I am already 70 and ready for 30 more years.
That was 21 years ago ...I miss those girls
Kathy Valentine is such a sexy lady....stunning
How did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame take until 2021 to admit The Go-Go's ???
At least they're there.
The rules
Stupid politics
Politics,like everything else. Ridiculous but at least they're acknowledged!
Can you imagine having a mom like one this girls. Proudest daughter and boy ever.
Iconic legends who taught themselves how to be awesome. So glad I was old enough to watch their rise to stardom. Bad asses making great music.

I dont care if you are now 61 years old now, Belinda you are still the most beautiful woman in the world to me💖💖💖
2:39 she reminds me so much of Dolores O’Riordan (R.I.P) when she sings it right here
Beautiful in the 80's and Gorgeous now. They sound amazing.
And today (5/12/21 they have been voted into the Hall of Fame
I met Jane Wiedlin in 1990 at Washington D.C.. Awesome personality and actually an animal rights activist.
Had a cameo in Star Trek IV.
True joy.
Their happiness while playing brings an emotional response and happy tears to my eyes.
Truely.
Thank you 💖
I love ALL of them....💕💕💕💕💕
Kathy's dress and boots combo is just awesome :)
And hair
A performance for the ages. Pure joy!!!

Seriuosly? The runaways?
That’s always been one of my favourite songs but this is the first time I’ve seen a live version and it’s even better. What a great band!
Everything great about the 80's right here.
I absolutely love Belinda has her shoes off. TOTALLY relaxed. Awsome. 😂
My Oh My to see them all grown up to become such beautiful women. What a delight!
Yes that they are, The Bangles ladies did as well
Look at em still having fun. They were my guilty pleasure back in the 80s.
fuck right.... that 2nd vocalist (Jane) nailed it!!!!! I'll listen to just that over and over. Her voice is mesmerising.
She wrote the song with her lover, Terry Hall.

The song seems rushed. Still love them.
Brilliant song jane ! + terry hall never forgotten
JT’s guitar solo reminds me of Prince’s at the George Harrison tribute (While My Guitar Gently Weeps).
A few month later the world would change, But The Gogo’s are forever 🩵
I was just thinking the same. World would forever change in just a few months…
Always wanted to see both the Go Go’s and Fun Boy Three perform it together
Terry Hall, He lives on, Greetings from Manchester x
Gina cracks that snare drum backbeat like a shotgun, Kathy grooves the basslines like the gorgeous pro that she is! old rocker downunder
What a voice she was touched with talent.
The bass on this version is the best ever.
fun boy three knocks it out of the park
The Go Go's Makes me feel like I'm in my 20's again, and that was a long time ago....................

R.I.P. He contributed a lot to British music.

This was a song about their Virginity...."Our Lips are Sealed"
Love it when Kathy brings her bass into the song
Belinda carlsie and the go go's
RIP Terry Hall. Your music will live forever!
let's not forget the lady on rhythm guitar, the song is half Jane's, and the Go-Gos was the first and best version.
@@racketman2u I much prefer FB3's version, this version isn't very well known in Britain.

David Young The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is meaningless. It shouldn't exist. Think about it.
Still rocking
They had a solid rhythm section. Kathy had great bass lines. Very catchy.
Yep, and it was Gina Schock who saved them. A pro who made them practice every night.
New York's one and only iconic band to beat all the rest, if you say the Go Go's everyone looks...
Honestly one of the best bands of the 80s. Makes me mad that we all have to age! Belinda Carlisle will always be one of my favorite singers.
No worries, We all age like a fine wine. check out the corrs of Ireland. all woman in there mid 40s. all about the diet and exercise.
40 age 2 decades 80 ‘s when they in 20 y2k
Nice 1 our lips r selealed

man, actual live music. they are in their early 40s here and they still sound great and look great.

Listen this is a trip back to my teenage years. And with Katty playing bass!
It seems that this is the world...in music too.
Many underrateds...unfortunately...

According to documentary she learned the catalog on a coke binge that is hard core
Fantastic! No frills, no mixing board, just talent that endures!!
Um, every band has a mixing board. You can't do a live show without it. You are obviously talking about something else..

I was there. Awesome concert. They were as good as they could be
Good for you. Must have been awesome!
Good band….great drummer overall impressive
Jane looks so good in leather pants and Kathy looks so good in her outfit too
Love the song since I was young. When I first heard the song I thought they were saying, "HONEST, I FEEL"
I was 14 when this song came out . Ah the cool 80's miss them
The zenith of pop music. It's been downhill ever since.
Happy memories.. Belinda was an IT girl when I was young mmmmm still looks amazing xx
I love The Go-Go's and their music so much. Such incredible talented women who can rock. So happy they finally are get inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where they belong. It's about time that is happening The Go-Go's deserve that recognition. 🥰❤️
This has always been a great, feel good song to listen to.
I saw them back in the mid 80’s in Connecticut in their prime !
Awesome show .
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet angel
Forget their lies
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Oh, our lips are sealed
This is their most popular best song. It never gets old for me. I don’t know why
Girl power!
One of the best bands to come out of the 80's!
Back then I really didnt know who belinda was but I didnt know who any artist was was to busy partying now thatim older and calmed down to realize things and life around me belinda has to be by far one of the greatest singers prob my favorite now
Belinda still hot as fuck
I love the Go Go's. Saw them in the 80's. They are unbelievable!!! Miss them so much. Belinda seems not to own a pair of shoes. Love that too!
Jane is spectacular
The bass and lead, dancing near the end...yeah, that warmed my....heart.
