80s British pop. Our dance club music. Heavy synthesizer sound for smaller groups. Brit pop dominated the clubs. Pet Shop Boys did that song in Allstate commercial…. Let’s Make Lots of Money.
*For anyone unaware, this is considered one of the greatest debut singles in popular music history, and is one of the quintessential and landmark singles of the Second British Invasion of the 80s in the US.*
It is 😊
Pure Quality right there, can't go wrong with the Pet Shop Boys.
Artists.
They're singing about the girls in the West end of London where all the girls go to party at night. The west end is considered Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Trafalgar Square area
"Let's Make Lots of Money" is great--such an 80s theme and sound.
Opportunities.
Madonna took elements of that song to make her hit Vogue .
Love this song. You guys should check out Haddaway “What is Love” and New Order “Blue Monday” it’s a similar vibe to this song.
Totally agree, both great songs!
Haddaway "What is love" - "A Night at the Roxbury version" though :-)
Try “what have I done to deserve this “ a great duet with dusty Springfield, pet shop boys remind me so much of my schooldays. I believe this is about the rich girls from the west end of London meeting the rougher east end boys, coming from different worlds but coming together in night clubs ect, I stand corrected if that’s not right.
That’s was a truly great track with Dusty’s voice
@@catman2629 yeah agreed she was great on that track.
Love the Pet Shop Boys. So many great songs already mentioned below
I think it’s about class. The West End of London being higher class as compared with the East End.
It's funny though that the "West End" is actually Central London.
@@jamesalexander5623 Yes, but they are referring to West London as in Fulham and Chelsea. That set.
You would be right!
@aquablushgirl No. They are referring to the West End which is 100% in Westminster.
Westend Affluent part of town ..
Eastend Docks, PPP. Rascism, Petticoat lane, skinheads, wild, back in the day, poor side of town.
The Pet Shop Boys are still around and touring. I’ll be seeing them in concert in October 2022. To relive my 20’s 😱😉😁
Pet Shop Boys is one of the biggest European pop groups of all time. Songs like Opportunities, Suburbia, It's a Sin, What have I done to deserve this?, Heart, Domino Dancing, Left to my own Devices, New York City Boy and their amazing covers of Always on my Mind, Go West and Se a vida E (That's the Way Life is) are pop classics of the music history.
Love comes quickly, and also a B side song on the Opportunities single, was that what it was. I usually don't listen to b side.
Lil Durk looking Ahh
Huge catalogue of hits from these guys - and well deserved.
For more 80's Pet Shop Boys: It's A Sin, Heart, Domino Dancing, Always On My Mind, Suburbia, Opportunities
For 90's Pet Shop Boys: Being Boring, Go West, Se A Vida É, New York City Boy, Was It Worth It
For 2000's Pet Shop Boys: Home And Dry, Miracles, Minimal
For 2010's Pet Shop Boys: Vocal, Winner, The Pop Kids, Love Is A Borgeouis Construct
In the 90's I went to a U2 concert in Oakland with 2 opening acts. They were the Sugarcubes, an Icelandinc band, and Public Enemy. On the way home on the train a couple of big thug looking guys were talking about the concert and they asked me if I went and did I like it. I told them yes and we talked about the concert and they were so blown away by the Sugarcubes! We talked for about 20 minutes and I let em know about differet bands and stuff cause they wanted to hear more cause it was cool! I just love when people are willing to go out of what they know and try new stuff and love it! That is why I am loving watching you guys! You are willing to try new things and to see your smiles and how big your eyes get is just great!
Sugarcubes - holy crap - that goes way back to the time machine - BJORK was an icon then...
@@anthonyv1719 Chuck D and Bjork. Good times.
Can't image two more different bands than the Sugarcubes, Public Enemy and U2. Then again I saw the Fabulous Thunderbirds opening up for Rush. Who thought that was a good match?! Not much love from the audience for the opening band that night.
@@norwegianblue2017 It was wild and awesome teaching these guys about that type of music!
Leash for Love. Birthday and Hit. Amazing songs. Bjork was awesome in The Sugercubes.
"Relax" by Frankie goes to Hollywood.
The video's crazier than the song.
Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls” is a song that was heavily inspired by “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash. Anyone familiar with that classic track would recognize it as one of the first raps which read like a social commentary. And that is fundamentally the same goal the Pet Shop Boys had in mind with “West End Girls”. Or looked at from a different perspective, in reality this track doesn’t read like a song about “girls” at all. Rather the titular “West End girls” and “the East End boys” referenced later in the track allude to the two contrasting economic realities of the Pet Shop Boys’ hometown of London, England. More specifically, the West End was the well-to-do section of the city, while the East End was the exact opposite.
Can't be described its the 80s love thst era growing up
I LOVE LOVE LIVE THIS SONG!!! It is one of my favorite 80”s songs and it brings back memories. It’s been my ringtone for like 10 years. 😊Glad you enjoyed it. They made some great songs! Dig into them, you’ll like them. Fun fact the All State commercial were the guy is driving down the highway and the emblem starts singing is the Pet Shop Boys song Opportunities( Lets make lots of money).
I got on to Pet shop boys being stationed in Germany, I didn't think they got the credit they deserved. The song's lyrics are about class, and inner-city pressure
You want more 80's fire then try New Order's Blue Monday. You have to do it! The 7 min version
You should check out their song"what have I done to deserve this" a collaboration with the great Dusty Springfield y'all would dig it ✌️
One of my favourites of theirs .. and they still performing :-)
East End boys and West End girls describes a London dive bar scene
Pet Shop Boys ... FOREVER..
❤❤
The Pet Shop Boys admitted in interviews they were influenced by early 80s NYC hip hop r & b
First album I bought as a teen in the 80's. Check out Opportunities and Suburbia.
I'm a East end girl lol😀 East end boys are the best ...real people we are from London
I used to listen to the Pet shop Boys in London in 1984 when i was 12.
“Always on my mind” (cover of Elvis song) is my favourite. xx
Thank you for all the ‘80s lately! Brings back my youth. Did I here y’all say y’all thinking of moving to Texas? I’m down here and can help out if needed. I promise I’m not some weirdo lol
More Pet Shop Boys tracks to listen to below. (They haven't really done many bad songs so this is just the creme de la creme in my view. They aren't all singles but the ones that aren't demonstrate how clever they are). Chris Lowe is up there with Vince Clarke as a synthesizer master. They were the pioneers of many sounds that are still used in tracks today.
"It's Alright"
"Dreaming of the Queen"
"Being Boring"
"One Thing Leads To Another"
"Jealousy"
"So Hard"
"Left To My Own Devices"
"Rent"
"Losing My Mind"
"The Theatre"
"The End of the World"
"It Couldn't Happen Here"
"I'm Not Scared"
"I Want a Dog"
As I mentioned, some are not singles but album tracks. But take 'One Thing Leads To Another' as an example of their greatness. Listen to the track, then pull up the lyrics and read the verses from the bottom line upwards.
This is one of my Go-To songs, been on my playlist! Love this song!!! Thanks for reacting, I’m so glad I got to listen to this today 🥳😍✌️❤️🔥
Are we gonna see you bumpin this at the street light with the window rolled down? Because that beat hits with a good system in a car.
The Pet Shop Boys are fantastic, the English themselves chose this song as one of the best 100 British musical compositions, this is a mix of rap, pop, ahead of its time
it's a sin, Suburbia, Opportunities, Always on my mind, Heart, What have I done to deserve this, Where the streets have no name, Can you forgive her
You will be there in no time be safe out there Keep On Keepin On y'all peace out!
Appreciate ya!!
This song is so good🔥 Synth Pop/New Wave. Good stuff, I'm not really a Petshop Boys fan though, there are better artists who do what they do. Please react to Canadian Rapper Classified 🙏 At least one of his songs. That's Ain't Classy, Unexplainable Hunger, or Anybody Listening
I predict 100k and more will come very quickly as both of you are so charismatic and a pleasure to watch and listen to.
React to “Life in a northern town” by The Dream Academy!!!!!
This song is fire! It stays in rotation after all of these years. One of the best duos of all time. This would sound good in your ride.
80's classic! The song "It's A Sin" is fire.
My favorite is "Absolutely Fabulous". Funny TV show, great tune
Pet Shop Boys
-Formed in London in 1981
-Synth-pop duo
Neil Tennant (singer)
Chris Lowe (keyboard)
-100+ million records
-Chorus was actually originally written as a rap but it sounded way better sang.
-The song was performed by Pet Shop Boys at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony.
-In 2005, the song was awarded Song of The Decade between the years 1985 and 1994 by the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters.
-Huge club song & an absolute staple song of the 80's.
LYRICS:
"The song's lyrics are about class, and inner-city pressure. Tennant later said that some listeners thoughts the song was about prostitutes, but was actually, "about rough boys getting a bit of posh."
"Sometimes you're better off dead, there's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head". The lyrics were inspired by TS Eliot's poem 'The Waste Land'"
Tennant later said of 'The Waste Land': "What I like about it is, it's the different voices, almost a sort of collage. All the different voices and languages coming in and I've always found that very powerful. So on 'West End Girls' it's different voices. The line 'Just you wait till I get you home' is a direct quotation."
One of their favorite hangouts (The Kings Head & Dive Bar) gets a mention in the lines:
"There's a madman around
Running down underground
to a dive bar in a West End town"
"The lyric 'From Lake Geneva to the Finland Station', refers to the train route taken by Vladimir Lenin while being smuggled by the Germans to Russia during World War I. It is assumed that the lyric was inspired by the book To the Finland Station by Edmund Wilson."
*Some of the info is from Wikipedia
You can check out "Can You Forgive Her" and "Rent" also.
As I understand it "Eastern Boys" means you're from the Wrong Side of the tracks, while "Western Girls" are raised in a more affluent area, Bad Boys & Good Girls... there always seems to be an attraction.
I always loved this song, never knew what the song was about until now!
80s synth pop is awesome, you should react to their cover of Always On My Mind
Since you like this, I think you'll like Der Kommissar by a group called After the Fire. A one hit wonder but what a jam it is. You will be dancing.
Great reaction bro! You need to check out Pet Shop Boys Opportunities it’s fire 🔥
This song always reminds me of in the late '90's when I was driving south on i95 into Boston. A pickup truck on the other side of the highway doing 100+ smacked into one of the jersey barriers they move back and forth to change the number of inbound and outbound lanes during commute hours, flipped into the air sailing over my car raiding down concrete bits all over the place, and landing upside-down on top of the car that was tailgating me.
It's strange the memories music can trigger.
This is one of my favorite Pet Shop Boys songs. I'm a huge fan and have been for a long time.
Great reaction! Pet Shop Boys are awesome and still going strong! West End Girls is such a classic, indeed smooth and with that awesome synth sound to it!
this is my their favorite song. second is "being boring". I listen to this song and I remember when I was 18 years old, and on Saturday mornings I would take my motorcycle and go to a friend's house to go play volleyball at the company's club where we worked. music was at its peak here in brazil at that time. good times.
Great song love the group
I've enjoyed this song for decades but never worried too much about the deep meaning :) It's something to do with cultural differences in London, I've got that much, but otherwise I'm happily ignorant. It's just so much fun to listen to and sing along with.
I will highly recommend "Rent". A beautiful catchy song.
Yes, probably my favourite from them and that's really saying something.. Quite poignant.
In Suburbia is a great track too 👌
This was their first single and hit.neil Tennant is the singer Chris Lowe the music guy.i believe Dr who actor David Tennant when picking his stage name decided to change his last name from MacDonald to Tennant cause of Neil.
There are lots of songs.oppartunities(let's make lots of money), suburbia,go west,heart, Domino dancing, it's a sin,what have I done to diserve this ft dusty Springfield and losing my mind ft Liza minnelli who is Judy garland (Dorothy,wizard of Oz)daughter.
Yessss
Hi! Please rect to other hits from Pet Shop Boys, like Rent, It's a Sin, Suburbia, Always on my mind, Heart, What have I done to deserve this, Left to my own devices, Go West.
Pet shop boys were the techno music masters!!
Regards from Chile!! 🙂
loved it! and they had some club mixes that were really fire!
'80s to a T ... the first 45 seconds puts you in that time and place that only those who lived in that time and place can relate to.
Top synth duo
More or less the whole song is done on an Emulator-II sampler. Including the solo you’re talking about. Bass is done on a Roland SH-3A analog synth. Excuse my nerdiness 😜 Fire song.
Rockstar Games used this in GTA V Non Stop Radio
80s synth pop at its finest
Real strong 80's feel
This song is played on the Non Stop Pop radio station in GTA V.
One of the coolest bands that I've went to see they were with the band Berlin when I saw them so that you know there's only two guys in the band just a singer and then the synthesizer keyboard player fantastic they do a lot of cool songs as well you would like them they're considered to be funk but techno as well
The West End of London, rich powerful and full of multi-million £ properties. The East End of London, poor, working class, industrial, with a large immigrant population since the middle ages. East End boys and West End Girls would meet each other, in the pubs, bars, restaurants and clubs of Central London, in the West End itself. It describes a (welcome) culture clash. :)
God please bless the mother of his child as well. I've seen too much.
Everyone needs Love
"how much do you get? and how often?" "which do you choose the hard or soft option" this is about fucking
An absolute classic! ❤️👍
Definitely a skate song back in the day.
The extended remix was a big club dance hit
Every time I hear this song the lead singer's voice reminds me of Jorma Taccone from the band "Lonely Island". I know it should be the other way around but it's not, lol!
1979 to 1984 was the NEW WAVE sound…. Depeche Mode came out that movement …PET SHOO BOYS DOMINATED MUSIC FOR A WHOLE DECADE OF THE 80s!!!!! THEY WERE FROM ENGLAND BUT HAD A HUGE HUGE MEGGA HUGE FANBASE IN AMERICA🔥🔥🔥🔥
Y'all's reaction show is #1 or 2 point blank period, I really love All My Brothers and Sisters doing this! But y'all are my favorite . Keep moving forward ⏩, keep doing you , I love it , listen 👂 to more ' Lionel Richie - featuring' Alabama ECT ' !! Awesome 👍 Guys!!!!!!!!!!!
West End Girllllllllllllllls. Blast from the past.
The song is about social class - boys from poor backgrounds (East End of London or Eastend boys) chasing girls from wealthy families (West End of London or Westend girls)..
vibes right here
love the channel so much bro
Thank you so much!
Check out the singer Haddaway “What is Love” for another primo mid 80's Club Classic.
This brings me right back to being underage in a bar for the first time in Quebec City.
Great react, you 2 are one of my Fav content on reaction. If you like that you 2 might enjoy Robbie Nevil "C'est La Vie" one of Fav in this time period.
Check out The Shep Pettibone Mastermix or the Dub Version !!! Thats so much more Dope than the Single Version ....Believe it !! Damn !!
It’s about London. The East End is working class, the West End is high class.
'Getting Away With It' by Electronic
They did a great cover of “Alone Again, Naturally” with Elton John.
classic 80s! ♥
If you'd been alive and living in London in the 80s you'd understand the meaning of the song perfectly
This is slightly posh gay British people going to New York in the early 1980s, picking up what is going on in the clubs and in rap/hop-hop, working with a producer there using the latest drum machines and synths - I think the original version was with Bobby Orlando. West (posh) and East (poor) is class divide in London.
I saw you both smiling!😅
There's no place like LONDON ❣️❣️❣️
Que maravilhoso! ! !
It's so nice to see that you appreciate the 80's. Please check out "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. I think you'll love it.
Always On My Mind (Willy Nelson cover) and Domino Dancing would be my top 2 Next picks.
Wonder if the chorus sound is from the CMI Fairlight or Emulator II synthesizers
Love that song in GTA 5 ❤️
gwar does a sick cover of this song
pet shop boys, the communards, bronsky beat c'est la même époque
