Loved Swing Out Sister back in the day, Corrine Drewery was my crush at the time, nobody could rock the Bob haircut like she did, my favourite track from them is Somewhere In The World, it's a laid back Blue Eyed Soul sound and has a great video 🇬🇧
80s pop! The Brits owned the airways in the 80s when it came to pop tunes. Haircut 100, ABC, Everything But The Girl, Heaven 17, Bananarama, Human League, Spandau Ballet, Culture Club, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Duran Duran, Yazz, New Order, Dead or Alive, Eurythmics, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, UB40, Bronski Beat, Blancmange, Erasure, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), Thompson Twins, Wham, Depeche Mode .. ... ....
This is on my playlist and I listen to it at least once a week. When I was in college, I interned at a radio station in San Francisco when this album came out. I met the band when they were in town touring and promoting the album. They were very nice and Corinne was very tall! 😃
The way it's structured is so wild, it's like it just keeps building up and up. I don't quite have the musical vocabulary to say what they're doing, but I think it's key changes ? Also the singer is STUNNING
Written by Swing Out Sister. Corinne Drewery fell off of a horse 🐎 in a riding accident. She wrote the lyrics while she was in rehab. She and the other members like 👍 it. But, their record label hated it! 🙄 But, the band pushed on. They performed in Indonesia 🇮🇩 a few years ago. They still sounded good 👍. CB did not lose much range! 🤯 They were scheduled to play in The Philippines 🇵🇭, but canceled due to Charlie 19.
This group is fabulous. They have another amazing hit called "Twilight World", and they have continued to release music in Europe after having a few hit albums here in the U.S. They are a great combo of jazz, pop and R&B.
1986 the year i started loving english songs so much and following the charts. i remember hearing this song when it came out and it was and still fantastic. swing out sister has very good songs like twilight world, you on my mind, fooled by a smile and surrender. the week it entered the top 20 songs in the charts in november2nd 1986 these are some of the song that were in the top 20 the same week: through the barricades (spandau ballet). true colors (cyndi lauper.) you keep me hanging on (kim wilde). showing out (mel and kim). suburbia (pet shop boys). don't give up (peter gabriel and kate bush) living on a prayer (bon jovi). ask (the smiths). you can call me al (paul simon). true blue (madonna). don't get me wrong (the pretenders). midas touch (midnight star). notorious (duran duran). all i ask of you (cliff richard and sarah brightman) from the phantom of the opera. take my breathe away (berlin) from top gum. walk like an egyptian (the bangles). you're in the army now (status quo). can you feel the amount of competition ? many great songs. this is why the 80's were seriously the best.
another example of how a video can get in the way of the sounds... some bands were let down by their video directors... this song and their album brought a different vibe to the scene... so many of the British bands were fearless -- thanks for finding them and this tune
I really don't like music videos. I wish reactors would only listen to studio versions of songs, and with no video whatsoever. Use their ears, not their eyes.
Such a groove! This was on repeat on my playlist back in the day. Love the horns and the vocals are on point. Some great moves from Corey too - you were feeling it big time! Suggestions: DOWN TO EARTH by CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT also from 1987 is something worth checking out. Or their other tracks MISFIT and ORDINARY DAY. Best described as another British Jazzy, Soul, Funk pop group!
Thanks Corey & Fenom for a great review. Perhaps your colleague might consider going back to sleep. Please review Heartache Avenue by The Maisonettes. Another banging tune.
Regarding Swing Out Sister, given your attention to musical technicalities, listen to their song: Happier than sunshine. It starts off in 4/4 and switches to 6/8. Follow the bass line. It's an amazing song.
This is definitely one of my go-to feel-good songs. It was on their debut album “It’s Better to Travel”, which is sensational - every song is a gem. I definitely recommend it. Standout tracks are “Twilight World”, “Surrender”, and “Fooled By a Smile”.
I love this song, and I don't typically like feel good music, but I really like your reaction too, honest negative criticism is so much more interesting.
This group created amazing music over the decade. Check out more of their songs and you will hear the maturing of their music. Just fantastic! Listen to their songs Precious Words, Where In The World, Waiting Game, You On My Mind, and Twilight World. Many more but this will give you a deeper sample of what they produced.
Not my idea of “timeless”, but this came out the year my first son was born and it was fun in its day when it popped up on the radio. Don’t forget that PART of “pop” is variety. You can’t keep playing the same 20 genius songs. This is a snapshot in time and it is instructive even if it doesn’t make your playlist.
The reaction guy in the hoody was half asleep when the show started and still half assed asleep when the song ended !?! 😮 He said the song was monotone-- is he saying he only likes singing notes that are up, down and all around the map? What does he want, SCAT????? Maybe I too would want LOUD, SCREAMING NOTES UP ,DOWN ,AND ALL AROUND THE BLOCK JUST TO WAKE ME UP IF I WAS AS HALF ASLEEP AS THAT DUDE !!!!!😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Someone wake him up, clue him in to what constitutes QUALITY MUSIC !! TELL HIM IT AIN'T ONE DIMENSIONAL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always ask the question whenever I see people react to this version: "why did you react to the black and white version?". There is one in color. That's the one I first watched back in the 80's. 😎
Good song. I never knew the name of the band. I love the fun feel of the video. She was fun...and sexy without being nearly naked! OLLIE, sometimes less is more 😊
Corey, spot on in your reaction and more importantly in your analysis. Same to to you Fenom. Olli, you just need a a readjustment, kinda lame that you couldn't even come up with a more specific reason for the vibe not reaching you. Maybe you're not into lower registers for women, but Corinne has a beautiful range IMO.
OllieWoo looks bored with most of you guys reactions, I think he just waiting for some hip hop and rap !! He's narrowed minded.... Corey and Fenom you guys are doing a great job, wish the reaction channel was just the two of you !!
SWING OUT SISTER - " Am I The Same Glrl " ( Official Music Video) Remastered .. Hi You Guys here is another on of their Mega Radio 📻 hits songs Make Sure to TYPE ( Official Music Video ) Remastered Full 4:30 plus minutes in order to get the Full version accept No Imitations what i mean is 3: 30 min is not original it cuts off early
Corey Roy: “I got this joint so wantcha’ all to check out” Fenom: “Probably heard it, but never seent the video” Olliwood: “Man, why y’all wake me up so early for this corny-assed White shit?”
LOL, I gotta be with Olli on this. I like the song, but it don't set me on fire. It's cool, in a party, it can most def go on the play list, but it won't be at the top. Now Corey may cut a rug to it, and that's cool too, but I prolly won't. Fenom be over in the corner, bopping his head, while he tries to get some insider trading info.
This has been one of my all-time fave songs since it came out. There's a great live version of it from 1989: th-cam.com/video/_C4OXrE6De4/w-d-xo.html Also, the original video was in color & looked even better, not like this "official" monochrome version: th-cam.com/video/a75FC9vBkmc/w-d-xo.html
I get what he's saying about the singing being monotone, but you kind of have to take the song as a whole. While she's kind of sitting in the same groove the whole song, the horns and the other instruments are changing and carrying a lot of the melody, and the key changes make everything so dramatic and big. It's like the song is changing constantly the whole time it's playing
Olli with his bored face is tiresome, he looks like that in a few reactions. What is it with younger people that as soon as they sit still they have to start swigging on a drinK?. Not enough time before or after the reaction, just have to have it there and then?
no entiendo que hace ahi OlliWooDDA , no le gusta la musica , es mas, parece que esta aburrido, deben de poner otra persona para que reaccione, por el le voy a poner no me gusta a su video verlo me ha dado pena, colera , no disfrute de la musica por su cara aburrida.
Corrine was in fashion but loved to sing. She was hospitalized for a very long time with a horrible head injury after being thrown by a horse. She said she was trying to get her mind back and started writing these songs in the hospital. You should check out Waiting Game, Where in the World, Fooled by a Smile and a great cover, Am I the Same Girl. Beautiful, classy fun and funny lady with loads of talent.
Swing Out Sister seems like a synth pop group if you only know this song but they are a great live band that excels in the 60s-70s bacharack/Webb/Barry classic pop. Their second album is a straight up masterpiece.
Loved Swing Out Sister back in the day, Corrine Drewery was my crush at the time, nobody could rock the Bob haircut like she did, my favourite track from them is Somewhere In The World, it's a laid back Blue Eyed Soul sound and has a great video 🇬🇧
87 was a great year. I definitely remember this song. A good feel song.
80s pop!

What I call good quality pop music. Their single Surrender was great too.
Yes they did and I listened to every one of the Artists you named.
wonderful song, madly in love with Corrine back then, and still am, they are still making great music.
I was in love with her, too. She was and is just a delight.
I love this song. Makes me think of summer in the 80s.
This is on my playlist and I listen to it at least once a week. When I was in college, I interned at a radio station in San Francisco when this album came out. I met the band when they were in town touring and promoting the album. They were very nice and Corinne was very tall! 😃
KUSF?
@ No, it was KKCY, “The City”. They aimed to be the 80s version of the old 60s KSAN.
The way it's structured is so wild, it's like it just keeps building up and up. I don't quite have the musical vocabulary to say what they're doing, but I think it's key changes ? Also the singer is STUNNING
Easy on the eye, Corrine.
The singer was working in fashion design and after a serious horseriding accident decided to Break Out, formed a band and made this song 🎉😊❤
I loooooove Swing Out Sister!!!!
Haven't heard this song in years😮 thanks Gentlemen
I love the joy that listening to all this great music gives Corey.

I'm glad to see someone finally reacting to this. The whole album is very good. Her voice is fabulous.
Corinne classy coool and gorgeous ❤

1986 the year i started loving english songs so much and following the charts.
i remember hearing this song when it came out and it was and still fantastic.
swing out sister has very good songs like twilight world, you on my mind, fooled by a smile and surrender.
the week it entered the top 20 songs in the charts in november2nd 1986 these are some of the song that were in the top 20 the same week:
through the barricades (spandau ballet).
true colors (cyndi lauper.)
you keep me hanging on (kim wilde).
showing out (mel and kim).
suburbia (pet shop boys).
don't give up (peter gabriel and kate bush)
living on a prayer (bon jovi).
ask (the smiths).
you can call me al (paul simon).
true blue (madonna).
don't get me wrong (the pretenders).
midas touch (midnight star).
notorious (duran duran).
all i ask of you (cliff richard and sarah brightman) from the phantom of the opera.
take my breathe away (berlin) from top gum.
walk like an egyptian (the bangles).
you're in the army now (status quo).
can you feel the amount of competition ?
many great songs.
this is why the 80's were seriously the best.
I think of this song as the 80s female version of The Bee Gees Stayin’ Alive. Open the door go out and strut your stuff, ladies.
Check out "Am I the Same Girl" you probably remember that one more.
Love that one ❤
I still play my 45 and I still have the Album. I love them😊
This is amazing!! when you guys did Level 42, Swingout Sister crossed my mind as the next act you guys should do...I kid you not!
Check out: Am I The Same Girl and La La means I love you. Both covers by swing out sister.
❤ Swing Out Sister!
Loved the song & bought the album.
Great song for dancing to.
another example of how a video can get in the way of the sounds... some bands were let down by their video directors... this song and their album brought a different vibe to the scene... so many of the British bands were fearless -- thanks for finding them and this tune
I really don't like music videos. I wish reactors would only listen to studio versions of songs, and with no video whatsoever. Use their ears, not their eyes.
I love the music and positive message. I remember watching the video when I was little ❤.
A pure hearted song. I fell in love with this one day as a kid seeing the video. Also like Twilight World by them. Good jazzy band
Corny or not, this was just one of those songs that was "right" for the times
It was a huge blowback in 1987 to the TV shows that featured Sonny & Cher and the like.
corny but made it to no.6 worst corny songs that also charted high quit listening to it mister !
Not corny in the least! It was a banger in its day!
Why is it corny? It’s just fun pop, better than the miserable stuff lots of kids listen to.
@@JoeCruz-hs2ytAgain why is it corny, it’s feel good pop, not miserable rap etc music.
Super Band....❤...
.great cool sound
Another good song by them is "Am I the Same Girl" A cover of the song by Barbara Macklin, and there was an instrumental but called "Soulful Strut"
Maybe a typo but it was Barbara Acklin. Soulful Strut by Young Holt Unlimited was the original.
There is a live version of this song at a Prince’s Trust concert where Mark King of Level 42 is playing the bass…
This song is one fine piece of 80's SophistiPop!
Swing Out Sister is fire! Their version of La La Means I love You, is nice. My son turned me on to them.
Automatic Subscription. This group is awesome...
Such a groove! This was on repeat on my playlist back in the day. Love the horns and the vocals are on point. Some great moves from Corey too - you were feeling it big time! Suggestions: DOWN TO EARTH by CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT also from 1987 is something worth checking out. Or their other tracks MISFIT and ORDINARY DAY. Best described as another British Jazzy, Soul, Funk pop group!
It was uplifting as heck, especially at the end. Positive vibes.
Loved this song.
I like the bridge in the song where it goes, "Some people stop at nothing..."
I'm seriously getting a flashback watching this video 😊
The marching band at Buckingham Palace in London, played this song instrumental, it was great!! 🎤🎶🎺💜
Thanks Corey & Fenom for a great review. Perhaps your colleague might consider going back to sleep. Please review Heartache Avenue by The Maisonettes. Another banging tune.
Solid 80s tune
I've loved this song from the very first time I heard it!

Jazzfunk has always been huge in the UK
Love your reactions 😄 if you like the 80s, Mike and the mechanics, the living years is definitely has a message worth a listen, thanks guys ✌️
Love this song ❤😊🎉

Damn i feel old AF now...lol. nice 1 IZ 🏴☠️☘️
Agreed with Ollie about her singing.
it is so funny watching Corey get excited about music and Ollie has no reaction, LOL.
Nice song and sexy lead singer.
The reaction guy in the hoody was half asleep when the show started and still half assed asleep when the song ended !?! 😮 He said the song was monotone-- is he saying he only likes singing notes that are up, down and all around the map?

MEANT TO SAY 4:22 MINUTES TURQUOISE GREEN BACKGROUND W/ SWING OUT SISTER PRETTY FACE ON THUMBNAIL CHECK OUT 🔥 TOO ITS 🔥
Another good hit song from the group is Somewhere in the world.
brilliant - try their other tunes on this album especially twilight world
Theres a color version of the video which I think fits the song a little bit more.
Break Out and Twilight World are gems...
Great band, great voice. Check out their song, “ not gonna change “, remixed by the one and only Frankie Knuckles 😘❤️😉🇬🇧
Never cared for the song but the reaction was AWESOME🤣😁🤟🏼♥️
Check out "Butterfly" from Swing Out Sister. Really good song IMO
First! Wow! Peak 80s, love 87/88 era, also if reacting to this, react to Breakfast Club, Right on Track!
I always ask the question whenever I see people react to this version: "why did you react to the black and white version?". There is one in color. That's the one I first watched back in the 80's. 😎
@@私に私 deleted from where? You can find two color versions on TH-cam
Brit sophisticated pop at its best
This is the official coming out song.
I don't remember this and I was in the club a lot during these years. She reminds me of Basia or Gloria Estefan.
Basia is a very good comparison!
check out some Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood (Sight And Sound In Concert: Jethro Tull Live, 19th Feb, 1977)
or perhaps - Jethro Tull - My God (Nothing Is Easy - Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970)
Put you to sleep? The
instrumentals were smokjn' in this sing.
Good song. I never knew the name of the band. I love the fun feel of the video. She was fun...and sexy without being nearly naked! OLLIE, sometimes less is more 😊
Please try Chris Rea - On The Beach. You won’t regret!
Corey, spot on in your reaction and more importantly in your analysis. Same to to you Fenom. Olli, you just need a a readjustment, kinda lame that you couldn't even come up with a more specific reason for the vibe not reaching you. Maybe you're not into lower registers for women, but Corinne has a beautiful range IMO.
' Transmission Vamp 'is another British band you guys will have to check out ,song Baby I don't care .
Next crazy poppy song is "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.
This is one of those songs that you hear at the grocery store all the time but you have no idea who the band is.
You guys most def need to check out Lisa Stansfield, who btw had the same haircut as this singer.
Gotcha covered: www.youtube.com/@thisisitreactions/search?query=stansfield
@@thisisitreactions thank you my Dudes!
Thank you so much for reminding me of this gem! This is very dated and I see Babyboy was not impressed. I don't blaqme him, you had to be there!
The monotone was the point.
OllieWoo looks bored with most of you guys reactions, I think he just waiting for some hip hop and rap !! He's narrowed minded.... Corey and Fenom you guys are doing a great job, wish the reaction channel was just the two of you !!
Feel like he goes into them already decided to hate it lol
And he holds his farts in too.

Also, the original video was in color & looked even better, not like this "official" monochrome version:
th-cam.com/video/a75FC9vBkmc/w-d-xo.html
This is a good song but their best is *"TWILIGHT WORLD'* in my humble opinion, hope you check it out
Did not like it then, do not like it now. But hey thats life🙂

Vocal acrobatics were not a thing back then - that one-up-manship didn't start until the 2000's.
I don’t like vocal acrobatics.
Olli does not look well.

Young guy doesn't know good music when it's right in front of his face. I guess it needs some droning, mind-numbing beat to appeal to him. Sad.
The gayest song you guys have ever done.
It's just a happy, feelgood song
Corrine was in fashion but loved to sing. She was hospitalized for a very long time with a horrible head injury after being thrown by a horse.
