All these commenters talking about how much they loved it as little kids! This song popped up in the car as I collected my 4yo granddaughter from preschool today, first time she'd heard it, and we ended up playing it about five times. Every time the song finished she'd yell "Again! Louder!" Clearly the magic is still there.
I remember that when this came out, my best friend and I were obsessed with how beautiful Kate Garner was. Watching this again now, over 40 years later, I can see we had excellent taste even at that young age. What a stunning woman, and such great style. 💛 🔥
@@nhmooytis7058 Well, I know I certainly enjoyed going out every Friday & Saturday night & dancing until four in the morning then going for something to eat before arriving home just as the sun was coming up. Good times.
Same! And I recently watched a Boy George documentary type video where he was actually talking in it and his mum was in it, he's showing old venues he'd go to in the 70's etc anyway he mentioned Haysee Fantayzee so Im here!
IKR ! ! ! "wuf ticket"- yer mama - one of the fifrst rap songs lol. my dad played it when i w3aws a kid, iw as like wtf?!? checked it out on here, found it, killer early 80s shht.
In the US military at the time, I was on temporary duty in England when this song was popular, and I remember adults commenting how riveted their kids were by this song. It wasn't nearly as popular in Germany. And, here I am over 40 years later.
As did I, and you are right. Much diversity of great genres, like Madness, Duran Duran, Iron Maiden. But, at the same time, that time bequeathed abysmal musical drivel like Soft Cell (execrable), Billy Bragg (hateful), Pet Shop Boys (beyond contempt).
I heard this song once when I was probably 8 years old; 51 now. Ever since then that chorus has been ingrained in my brain. I haven't been able to find the song again until tonight. A voice came to me and said "Google, 'shiny shiny don't jump behind me'." This was the first thing that popped up. It feels like a full circle moment for me. 😊
This was the very first single I ever bought, lol. I think I was 8. I played it so much one day that my dad ended up frisbeeing it out of the window. Not happy! My mother bought me the album about a week later and I made sure my dad got to know every single track on it.
😂, i like ur story. That’s how crazy I would drive my parents during the 80’s with D🌹M, The Cure, INXS, New Order, well it’s a long list but my dad will scream at me tell me lower that volume. Those were the happiest days of my life👍
Love that story and this song. I drove my parents to distraction with heaps of 80s singles, dressing up like Boy George scared the shit out of them. I mainly remember my Toot Toot in 1985 as I had no idea it was about some oversexed jealous woman going on about her vajayjay.
This song/video used to mesmerize me. Still, to this day, I think: what incredible, unclassifiable music this is. So alive, poaching from every genre. And visually: you can see the group’s influence on the looks of someone like Perry Farrell and Linda Perry.
I understand what you mean! I heard this for the first time a couple weeks ago and first thought it was cheesy and a song which should have stayed buried in 80s obscurity, yet I found myself listening to it again...and again...and again. Before you knew it I listened to 3 or 4 different versions of it (such as Top of the Pops and extended remixes). Something VERY ADDICTIVE about this song!
Oh wow! I was at the Hollywood Palladium during then too! Fantastic times! We would drive from Torrance to go there. One time my cousins, who are my age, came to visit me from the Central Valley, they couldn’t believe they were in an actually Hollywood nightclub! Lol I think they were shocked how people looked and dressed! Lol I miss that place. A lot of movies were filmed there, too. 😁
Love this kind of crazy, creative, New Wave stuff. I recently found out that KROQ has a HD station that plays all of this "ROQ of the 80's" that I grew up with. in LA area 106.7 My life is almost whole again!
Yeah,my collection has grown epicly. Music of that time was SO much better. I still listen to my collection LP,cassettes and CDs all the time. Everything from Exploding Parakeet to Dada to Polyrock to Class Action to The Quarks. New wave to the nth degree. At least some bands like Fantastic Plastics,The Epoxies,The Polysics,The Cinema Eye,etc. are/were still trying to keep things alive. Even "lost" bands like Scream Bloody Murder from Dayton,OH merged industrial/new wave REALLY well.
Born in 69 grew up a true valley kid. San fernando valley lived in northridge. Lost my first studio aprtment to the northridge earthquake. The 80 and 90 were the best for music. New wave and goth was actually cool.
Cool song and such an underrated band. I have the album and every single song is a good one. Very clever, fun lyrics. I wish they made more music, though the music they did make never, ever, ever gets old. I'll throw on the CD every now and then, to this day, and it's as exciting as when I first heard it.
Back then I thought this song was just annoyingly catchy, listening to it now I realize it's actually quite a unique, well crafted and well produced little pop song. Wow, Kate's body is so incredibly lean and fit! She's very sexy in this, her whole attitude. I like how he moves too, with the whole gypsy tramp thing he has going on. They made an interesting duo, visually and sonically. The 80s were such an expressive time of experimentation and style, I miss it!
Great analysis! Was thinking the exact same same but prols couldn't have put it so well. ....but I was thinking more Dickensian ne'er-do-well rather than Gypsy tramp. 😀
This masterpiece of a song along with this this video has been stuck in my head for months! I was 10 years old and heard it maybe twice on the radio. It stayed with me. I tried to get my sister to see, but she couldn't get past the first minute. The beauty of this song is that is annoyingly addictive. My only gripe is that this gem wasn't longer. It's a crime that in the US this only made it to #74 in the summer of 83. Still better than anything out today. This is one of those videos that you play once and watch a dozen times before you're satisfied. (-:
Corrcet on your last bit of sentence, but there are far better things to listen too, fun or not, and I am alowed to give my opinion, since it is a comment placed platform.@@anonymiss495
Jeremy dances like my great grandfather did. My great grandfather was a moonshiner in the Appalachian mountains. (Dale Hollow Tennessee/Kentucky line). They had these weird dancing style called clogging or something like that. Their music and dancing traditions came to the us from scotland I think. The clogging was slightly similar to scottish highland dancing or Irish riverdancing where you kind of stay in one place and do fancy stuff with your feet while you are basically jumping up and down.
Jig is an old English word for 'the old dance'!Many of the surnames in Appellacia are English and Scottish, and you had clogging and jigs all the way down to Devon on boards in pubs etc.
If you like songs that made no sense try songs from the psychedelic 60's. eg.."I looked in the sky where an elephant's eye was looking at me from a bubble gum tree"
I were 8 years 1982 and I remember my cousin had this on a mixtape. The words shiny shiny and the spoons never left my head and then in 2000 when you know Napster was big I looked it up and found it again - What à brilliant tune ❤️
I'm here in 2023, still love them, still throw on the CD every now and then. Every single song is great, not one bad one in the bunch. I like the Sister Friction and Holy Joe EP too.
At nearly 50 I still love this song so much , I learned to play the spoon solo when this came out and I can still play it now lol. Fantastic upbeat fun song 🙂
When this came out in the 80s, I used to have my portable cassette stereo (running on D cell batteries) set up at our home made BMX track that me and my brothers had made and at the 2:07 mark when he goes "Do, Do, Do....Cop on the line..." That's when I would launch off the scariest jump we had, but this song gave me the confidence to jump it. Mind you I probably stacked more times than I care to remember.....
Brilliant New Wave Song and great music video. Peaked at No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July of 1983, their only ever U.S. hit. Off of their album, Battle Hymns For Children Singing, which I own on CD. I own the 12 inch single of this song, released on RCA Records. This crazy tune is literally all over the frickin’ place. LOL. But I love it.
Such an odd title for the album. I heard somewhere, not entirely certain if it's true, that the title came about because when they were first touring and being interviewed on shows, someone asked Jeremy what the album was to be called, and they had not considered that question yet. Supposedly he made the title up on the spot.
American, from the Seattle area. Remember when this song came out in about 1983. It was an earworm for over 30 years, as I could never find it anywhere and nobody played it, but I could remember the sound. Couldn't remember the words or the title. Just the beat of the chorus and a couple lines, running through my head just often enough to drive me nuts. Finally skimmed the top 40 charts for 1983 and played on TH-cam anything I couldn't recognize. When I came to this one, I knew it immediately, within about 10 seconds.
A song about nuclear war. Teenage me in the 80s used to worry all the time about this. At the height of the arms race, the USA and USSR between them had enough warheads to kill us all multiple times over. Songs like this were part of the resistance that any decent human felt.
@@BobPapadopoulos That's a good way of looking at it. This track mixed with a nice spread of coke made things positively slippery and fulfilling. Would repeat.
Get a life. I've been on the receiving end of beatings from people fucked up on drugs. And before you start spewing your shit, alcohol is legal at least, your shit ain't
Now all you hear on Seattle radio these days is dreck. The once-solid KNDD that used to play all sorts of acts in the early 90s is reduced to throwing out some dry-as-a-bone Grunge glop and a mess of unknown contemporary noise; KEXP is NOT the same as KCMU (shame that Shake the Shack finally died); and Bellevue College's KBCS is about all that's palatable. I used to listen to KNHC's "Save the Wave" ages ago, and was a bit surprised to see that it's still going, but that's not much to counter all the automated, repetitive JACK track programming on the dial. Thank dog that WFMU streams all over the planet, as do Canadian college stations, like CFUV, and CJUM, with actual DJs.
One fave memory was shopping at the FLIP store on Melrose Ave. in LA as a teen and watching this music video played on the TV monitor by the in-house "video DJ" - love the "scratching" effect at the end! #80s classic
@@sexobscura They claimed to be avant garde but really it's pretty similar to a lot of other stuff around at the time, and a lot less cutting edge than some of it.
Cos they were dumb and stupid, but then again things equally stupid (yes Madness and Cure and Madonna and Dexys and Bon Jovi and Beastie Boys and Bros and Wet Wet WetI'm looking at you and THEY made careers out of it and continue to be exalted as something amazing). The 80s had way too much dumb stuff like this and most of it disappeared, but this got enough attention at the time, don't feel sorry for it or them! Loads of PROPER records by actual ACTS didn't even get this 5 minute dumb stage!
This was on a mixed tape we had when I was growing up! It was my lil brother, Shane's favourite song on the tape, he is no longer with us so I just added this to my 80's mix playlist. We used to sing Shaney Shaney....the ending is unique for the times!
Good times come to me now Good times come to me now I ain't lying 'cause there ain't no time No city, it's a pity, 'cause I dress divine City smokes, people choke Big meanie, he's a genie, and we ain't got a hope No chance, no chance Well, I feel fine, no, it ain't no crime I was dreamin' of a demon, and I ate a dime The dime floats, the colonel boasts Send 'em up the hill, boys, this ain't no joke No chance, no chance, no chance, no chance Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Your sure look fine, your shoes - they shine I taste your face, your love is mine Mercury Dan with a spikey hand I'm a hot retard, marquis de sade No chance, no chance, no chance, no chance Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na Saw a cop on the line, machine gun shine I was dreaming, not believing, that I was alive My mind broke, the cop - he choked Get out of here, boy, or I'll use the colt No chance, no chance You sure look fine, your shoes - they shine No heat can compete with this blue-eyed liar The child spoke, "We ain't got a hope press the button Press the button, it's all remote" No chance, no chance, no chance, no chance
Mercury Dan with a spikey hand ???? I am not sure this is right, he says something different , can't understand but is not spikey hand, nor Mercury Dan it sounds like ''merit to them in Vietnam'''. although the first word could not be "merit".

When this came out in the 80s, I used to have my portable cassette stereo (running on D cell batteries) set up at our home made BMX track that me and my brothers had made and at the 2:07 mark when he goes
"Do, Do, Do....Cop on the line..."
That's when I would launch off the scariest jump we had, but this song gave me the confidence to jump it.
Mind you I probably stacked more times than I care to remember.....
Brilliant New Wave Song and great music video. Peaked at No. 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July of 1983, their only ever U.S. hit. Off of their album, Battle Hymns For Children Singing, which I own on CD. I own the 12 inch single of this song, released on RCA Records. This crazy tune is literally all over the frickin’ place. LOL. But I love it.
Such an odd title for the album. I heard somewhere, not entirely certain if it's true, that the title came about because when they were first touring and being interviewed on shows, someone asked Jeremy what the album was to be called, and they had not considered that question yet. Supposedly he made the title up on the spot.
eauhomme Heard something about that. If you don’t mind me asking, are you British or American? I’m an American fan of Haysi Fantayzee.
American, from the Seattle area. Remember when this song came out in about 1983. It was an earworm for over 30 years, as I could never find it anywhere and nobody played it, but I could remember the sound. Couldn't remember the words or the title. Just the beat of the chorus and a couple lines, running through my head just often enough to drive me nuts.
Finally skimmed the top 40 charts for 1983 and played on TH-cam anything I couldn't recognize. When I came to this one, I knew it immediately, within about 10 seconds.
eauhomme This music video is cool as well. The random vintage images and imagery.
A song about nuclear war. Teenage me in the 80s used to worry all the time about this. At the height of the arms race, the USA and USSR between them had enough warheads to kill us all multiple times over. Songs like this were part of the resistance that any decent human felt.
Bring back the 80s
I'm totally at peace with the amount of drugs I've done while listening to this song.
I always catch myself thinking "Man, I'd like to have, piled up, all the drugs I've done in my life... I'd have so many more drugs to do now."
@@BobPapadopoulos That's a good way of looking at it. This track mixed with a nice spread of coke made things positively slippery and fulfilling. Would repeat.
Get a life. I've been on the receiving end of beatings from people fucked up on drugs. And before you start spewing your shit, alcohol is legal at least, your shit ain't
@@evertonnut1 Ha ha ha , what a story, Mark...
@@evertonnut1 Pump your brakes. It's not the drug's fault you were involved with a bad person. Maybe blame the person rather than the drugs?
The 80s absolutely ROCKED
Nope. No way.
This song was my everything at age 10
Made my skin crawl back in the day, still does.
Gawd she's so beautiful
I remember hearing this song on a Seattle radio station long time ago - 1983 or 1984 or so. Catchy as heck.
Now all you hear on Seattle radio these days is dreck. The once-solid KNDD that used to play all sorts of acts in the early 90s is reduced to throwing out some dry-as-a-bone Grunge glop and a mess of unknown contemporary noise; KEXP is NOT the same as KCMU (shame that Shake the Shack finally died); and Bellevue College's KBCS is about all that's palatable. I used to listen to KNHC's "Save the Wave" ages ago, and was a bit surprised to see that it's still going, but that's not much to counter all the automated, repetitive JACK track programming on the dial. Thank dog that WFMU streams all over the planet, as do Canadian college stations, like CFUV, and CJUM, with actual DJs.
God I miss the 80's!!!
Very catchy tune. Kate Garner was really gorgeous
This is how I knew I liked girls! She’s a beauty!
Met Miss Garner 82 ...Love Haysi Fantayzee xxxx
I wish I had met her in 82 miss lee love her too xxx
Her Father was The Late Chas Hodges ❤
Ah, remember this song so well from Spring 1983.
Kate Garner was mesmerizing in this vid.
No curves. Nice eyes though.
Way ahead of their time. She was beautiful
Pity she didn't feature as much as the bloke did.. well I think it was a bloke.
She also appears in the Eurythmics 'Who's that girl' vid. Amongst other luminaries!
Those abs😍
❤ she had beautiful eyes
One fave memory was shopping at the FLIP store on Melrose Ave. in LA as a teen and watching this music video played on the TV monitor by the in-house "video DJ" - love the "scratching" effect at the end! #80s classic
Why does this band never get mentioned, really good album...Had a unique sound...
too avant-garde
looking back and I think it was ahead of its time , the music editing and sampling was something that nobody did at the time
@@sexobscura They claimed to be avant garde but really it's pretty similar to a lot of other stuff around at the time, and a lot less cutting edge than some of it.
@@anonb4632
It has the essence of both Einstürzende Neubauten and early SPK to my ears
Cos they were dumb and stupid, but then again things equally stupid (yes Madness and Cure and Madonna and Dexys and Bon Jovi and Beastie Boys and Bros and Wet Wet WetI'm looking at you and THEY made careers out of it and continue to be exalted as something amazing). The 80s had way too much dumb stuff like this and most of it disappeared, but this got enough attention at the time, don't feel sorry for it or them! Loads of PROPER records by actual ACTS didn't even get this 5 minute dumb stage!
I used to love this song 💗🌵
This was on a mixed tape we had when I was growing up! It was my lil brother, Shane's favourite song on the tape, he is no longer with us so I just added this to my 80's mix playlist. We used to sing Shaney Shaney....the ending is unique for the times!
Kate Garner was a babe
I've only heard this today! not bad at all 👍
Wow I so remember this song. My sister played them a lot. ‘John Wayne Is Big Leggy, ‘Holy Joe’ were the other ones on repeat lol
Great taste, I love those songs too! "Holy Joe" I'd play over and over and over before I went out in my younger years.
My mate Calum loves this song.
What in the wide, wide world of sports did I just watch?!
Something good, real goooood!
World Of Sports .....classic sports show back then lol
Love this song!
Michael Imperioli in the middle playing chess with a crow. HAHAHAHA. Mad.
He then went on to have a stare down with another crow/bird at his being made ceremony in The Sopranos! 😄
Still listening April 26, 2024
Good times come to me now
Good times come to me now
I ain't lying 'cause there ain't no time
No city, it's a pity, 'cause I dress divine
City smokes, people choke
Big meanie, he's a genie, and we ain't got a hope
No chance, no chance
Well, I feel fine, no, it ain't no crime
I was dreamin' of a demon, and I ate a dime
The dime floats, the colonel boasts
Send 'em up the hill, boys, this ain't no joke
No chance, no chance, no chance, no chance
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Your sure look fine, your shoes - they shine
I taste your face, your love is mine
Mercury Dan with a spikey hand
I'm a hot retard, marquis de sade
No chance, no chance, no chance, no chance
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Shiny, shiny, bad times behind me
Shiny, shiny, sha-na-na-na
Saw a cop on the line, machine gun shine
I was dreaming, not believing, that I was alive
My mind broke, the cop - he choked
Get out of here, boy, or I'll use the colt
No chance, no chance
You sure look fine, your shoes - they shine
No heat can compete with this blue-eyed liar
The child spoke, "We ain't got a hope press the button
Press the button, it's all remote"
No chance, no chance, no chance, no chance
Mercury Dan with a spikey hand ???? I am not sure this is right, he says something different , can't understand but is not spikey hand, nor Mercury Dan
it sounds like ''merit to them in Vietnam'''. although the first word could not be "merit".
Its so catchy
@@egvNY marquis de sade
Ale jaja to jest bez sensu ,ale brzmi fajnie .
the lyrics are crazy genius
I agree, all their lyrics are genius. Especially "John Wayne is Big Leggy". Insanely clever and super duper fun!
Kate is Gorgeous
I love this song takes me back
Another favorite of mine,luv some 80s 🎶 🎵 luv 💖 💕
