I am 63 now. The eighties was fantastic and this song reminds me of that time. I have a great stereo equipment now. I have this record somewhere. I have to listen to it again.
Brilliant, im a young 23 year old and ripping up the town!!!, now 54 years old n sitting blasting this out remembering all the good times i had...Happy Days
I seem to find myself saying that about all of the 8 million bands I loved in the 80's! So many great bands, no many didn't get the recognition deserved.
I saw them before they went all corporate funk sounding. I thought they were a great post punk band. I think whoever wrote the songs in this style was a good songwriter but I just can't be doing with this degree of blue-eyed funkiness.
The "second British invasion" was great for the decade, British bands poured out of garages,cities, clubs, art school bringing back soul, Motown, r&b and introducing reggae, ska, dub, Irish and Scottish influences, mixing it up with synthpop, new wave, postpunk, pop, attitude, cool, accents, style helping make the 80's the most musically widely varied decade. Thanks guys!
One of the most iconic sounds of the Eighties...Typically lively, upbeat music with a great melody, a fantastic sax solo and a banging bassline to boot! [ (sigh) I want those days back. ]
2023 its 36 years later and the prescription from the Doctor is the same - consume these classy catchy tunes at least once daily for the rest of your life and you will feel much better.
UrZ Fight4URight , acid attacks, stabbings everyday in London, atm card fraud, Islamic extremists attacks, scotter robberies ,London in 2018 is terrible, I would take the 80s anyday
Jemand hier in 2024...blablabla...😳STOP: Jemand hier, der sich wünscht dieses Lied von dieser Gruppe aktuell live anno Juni 2024 zu hören? Der möge mir zustimmen, danke❤️
Saw them play this at Wembley Stadium supporting Rod Stewart in 1985. Dr Robert inserted a lyric criticising Rod for playing Sun City in then apartheid South Africa. Legend.
Esta canción nunca te cansará.Es una obra de arte.Une una guitarra superfunky, con un supersaxo, una voz supersexy, unos coristas negras y unos arreglos con violines de lujo. Simplemente genial, sencillamente perfecta. Enhorabuena por siempre. YA NO SE HACEN TEMAS ASÍ, una pena.
Formed 1981 this was their prime 1986 broke up when the 90s started and 80s unlucky somehow finished want them back Dr Robert slick guy tight band beats nearly anything and everything now in the last 30years
Imagine, this song being number 2. During the summer holidays. Constantly on repeat on the radio. And your grounded....indefinitely Those lyrics speak volumes.
Don’t be sad this era has gone . It won’t be long before younger musicians and young people will rediscover it and recreate it in a retro way 👍 This is the way ♥️
1986, the Black Lion in Aberdare, sadly now an excellent Italian restaurant; it was the night after the night before she looked so amazing, smiling as she entered the room, everyone looked then smiled in my direction, I have never felt so embarrassed; Theresa was an amazing Mam to our beautiful daughter Debbie; sadly now deceased. Theresa, you will always be so special to me and I sincerely hope you have found the love you so sadly sought for after Debbie died; just remember, there was nothing either of us could have done to save Debbie. Yes, I turned off Debbie's life support machine but at least Debbie died between the two of us! Dave. 💔
This is STILL one of the most beautiful tunes every written and that vocal just melts my heart......love. And that perfectly soulful acoustic arrangement aaahhhh
The execution of the video and the music arrangement, the intro, the bridge are just immaculate. It's stylish, sarcastic, politically correct and of course, incorrect. Sheer brilliance.
I still remember the long summer nights on the beach on those years at the end of the '80... this song was a real must!!! so sad, believe me, so sad for the nowadays generations, forced to be hurted by something called music but music's not... what a shame!
@@sebastianwelcome2080 The annoyance is that when music was really good ('60s - '90s), it was so bloody difficult to get hold of. You either had to buy it from a record shop or record it iff the radio.
I must have been about 9 or 10the first time I saw this video. I was smitten with the guy who stood there in his night gown and enormous fringe singing.
That saxophone solo is the best moment of the 80s🤩
2024 - and this tune took me back to my teenage years …nice❤
I am 63 now.
The eighties was fantastic and this song reminds me of that time.
I have a great stereo equipment now.
I have this record somewhere. I have to listen to it again.
I’m 62, the 80’s seemed so much happier…I’ve got this in the loft somewhere!
Even all these years later, whenever I hear certain tunes from the 80s it transports me right back to those days!
Im only 11 and I think this is amaxing .my dad introduced me to the 80s and its my favourite eara to listern to
Nice one. It IS the best decade for a fabulous array of different styles. Keep listening; you'll be glad you did.
Brilliant, im a young 23 year old and ripping up the town!!!, now 54 years old n sitting blasting this out remembering all the good times i had...Happy Days
yeah buddy...
I'm a little older but doing the same😎
I with you my friend...happy days!!!
I m italian. Excuse me but what does it mean ripping up ?
Andrew Bluebells really true. I know this and felt the same👍👍👍
Probably one of the most underrated bands of the 80's.
Blow Monkeys, say no more!

Calm down son.... they wur bog standard.
Correct!
57 years old and I feel like I was when I was 20 when this was out. Still sounds great.
great stil uk music
Here ~ You're showing my age !!!!
Such a cool tune then.
Such a cool tune now ...!
Timeless.
Huh? 1987 - 20 = 1967 so that would make you 53 in 2020.
56 here.....Me too! Good memories.....
This track never gets old. Absolute classic.
That's what you call soul
The UK produced the best 80's music..
And you can quote me on that
And 90's & the rest 👍 the US copying our rock music in the 70's too
So true!!
False, Germany produce the best 80s music. Modern Talking, Alphaville, Sandra, Arabesque, CC Catch and much more.
The "second British invasion" was great for the decade, British bands poured out of garages,cities, clubs, art school bringing back soul, Motown, r&b and introducing reggae, ska, dub, Irish and Scottish influences, mixing it up with synthpop, new wave, postpunk, pop, attitude, cool, accents, style helping make the 80's the most musically widely varied decade.

@@yogiaol false Germany was big in the 90s with Eurodance . 80s was UK and USA
Probably the best era in human history

@Simon Barnett b4145 is not go away. it has a purpose. in 1y u will see

It’s funny when you lived in the 80s you never knew just how great it really was .
One of the BEST tunes of the 80s. Hands down. So so good. Mike drop.
In a Porsche 924S on my way to pick up my future wife and this song blasting on the Alpine stereo...great times
it's funny when you lived in the 80s you never knew just how great it really was .
We was just kids lol best era for having fun music laughter we 80s kids had it good simple
@@tomcurley9342 I agree 100%
Exactly... U didn't... Until now..... Great memories..
Never a truer word said.....
@@tomcurley9342 you're absolutely spot on.
Watching Police Academy (3 or 4) at the age of 6, thinking this track is great! Instant love! Great example of 80s musical talent
OMG, i can't believe it youtube brought me to 2 of the best hits from them ❤
Kid in the 70's...teenager in the 80's....brilliant memories of music and having great laughs!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s the year 2020 and we want our saxophone riffs back !!!!
Yeah I agree mate
I'll run it past Stormzy and Little Mix, but between you and me, I wouldn't hold your breath.
Sophisticated pop I believe !
Guau muy buena canción 80sables inigual
It was impossible to sit still in the 80s at the disco listening to this song. Amazing bass line, percussion and sax solo.
How I miss these kind of music, the 80s and the Style
It reminds me the new jack swing style. Typical style of those years.
The same 👍🏻
Yep. No class these days. Ps they are still going. Saw them supporting level 42 at the Albert Hall 3 years ago
I'm 71 and still think it's great.
Loved dancing to it in sloppy Joe's derby.
2023 its 36 years later and the prescription from the Doctor is the same - consume these classy catchy tunes at least once daily for the rest of your life and you will feel much better.
Awww I want to go back to the 80's when life was simpler and not so cruel.
Grass is always greener, I'm afraid.
?? Margaret Thatcher, Riots in Brighton , the Falkland War and and and...
It was simpler because U was young
things are far worse now......
UrZ Fight4URight , acid attacks, stabbings everyday in London, atm card fraud, Islamic extremists attacks, scotter robberies ,London in 2018 is terrible, I would take the 80s anyday
yeah...….in a time when we weren't SLAVES TO THOSE BEEP SMARTPHONES.
The 80s was the best decade of music outstanding stuff
June 2024...Now it‘s Blow Monkeys Time, isn‘t it?❤️❤️❤️
MASTERPIECE OF POP !!
That hairstyle. So popular in the 80's and I LOVED it. Still do!
Jemand hier in 2024...blablabla...😳STOP: Jemand hier, der sich wünscht dieses Lied von dieser Gruppe aktuell live anno Juni 2024 zu hören? Der möge mir zustimmen, danke❤️
Das wäre hervorragend.🥰
Very good band, saw them live 6 years ago and still find them as fresh as they did in the 80s 👍
You look to young to remember the 80s😎
Dr Robert looking fine as usual and that sax, on my! I miss the 80,s 🥲
A time when music was music. Take me back to the 80s.
This Was The " B- Side " To
" Unsatisfied ".
From The Brilliant Vocals Of Mr Lou Johnson.
Cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂 For This Timeless Casino Anthem.
Saw them play this at Wembley Stadium supporting Rod Stewart in 1985. Dr Robert inserted a lyric criticising Rod for playing Sun City in then apartheid South Africa. Legend.
2020. Still effortlessly classy.
This actually was the 80's personified... Beam me up Scotty
this is what you call blue eyed soul

Enhorabuena por siempre.

Si Sr., caí aca x otra song, y me encontré con esta masterpiece !!
Añares que no la escuchaba y como sonó en los '80s la long version.
Yo no veo ningun coristas negros?
Nadie es NEGRO.

I like that funky guitar sound a similar sound is on another 80s song I can't wait by noo shoes

This is exactly 30 years old and I still love it! 80's music is unique!!
Prestigio Thunder
Yes Definitely
But of the same Genre as Curiosity killed the cat and Swing out Sister👍 new wave pop jaz .
Older 36 years old the year i was binned by my girlfriend at the time
36 😅
Love The Blow Monkeys. I'm in my 60s but remember them from the early 1980s. Very nostalgic.
l knew there was a 80s band but didn't know they was from that long ago in the early 80s
Formed 1981 this was their prime 1986 broke up when the 90s started and 80s unlucky somehow finished want them back Dr Robert slick guy tight band beats nearly anything and everything now in the last 30years
Reminds me of pretending to do my Maths homework in 1987 but listening to this with half a headphone stuck in my left ear. Still sounds as good today
thanx .
Ditto
Che Bello è che Sballo a Ballare.... Che Ricordi..
Difficile a sentire nel 2023 questa Musica.. 💪💯🕺😘
Imagine, this song being number 2.
During the summer holidays.
Constantly on repeat on the radio.
And your grounded....indefinitely
Those lyrics speak volumes.
I want to back in the 80's
Me too
I found this hidden treasure after more than 30 years. Thanks TH-cam 🥰
How can we recreate this era ? Can’t we all just go to a place and just live happily 80s style ..... who’s coming with me ?
You recreate it by Just going on youtube to listen and relax!!!
Digging your scene xx
I'm coming please
Deborah Rees .....is there room for a 59, soon to be 60 year old......⚡️🌈💥
@@1960dave1960 that's my age too,,, cant believe where the time has gone,, what an era 😊😊
The 80’s had lots id great bands like these awesome guys there was also Brian Ferry and Spandau Ballet and they were all so handsome !!!!
Dr Roberts is the best Medicine for depression !!!
What a rough life lesson! Jane
Released in 1987, amazing stuff
Certain songs take me straight back to a better time, this is one of those songs.. The power of music.
Thank God for TH-cam
You took the words right out of my mouth lol.
😃
Tell me about it 👍
allah akbar
😊👍
I met Robert and had a lovely chat.Nice guy.
Great song and video from the brilliant Blow Monkeys. Bring back the 80s ♥️.
This is elegant music of 80's
An 80's classic go to for me. Whenever my hair gets too long it looks JUST like his and I end up listening to this track.
I’ve never heard this song before and I’m already in love with it!! ✌️☺️
Stay in love with ok.
@@philjennings6725 I am, I’ve been playing this song on loop for a while. ✌️😙
77 now and never tire of listening to it.
Wow. I'd forgotten how much I used to love this track 😊
80's music = by default even the crap stuff is good and the good stuff is sooooo good.
I heard the 1987 album “Only a Grocer’s Daughter” back then and fell in love with it! !😉🤟
I'm gonna be 59 next week and this song reminds me how great sax was 😉
Still a banger of a tune from the brilliant 80s.
Don’t be sad this era has gone . It won’t be long before younger musicians and young people will rediscover it and recreate it in a retro way 👍 This is the way ♥️
I’m a 70s man myself with a sprinkling of the 80s and this was one of the better offerings from that era.
I will love this song forever and ever and ever and ever.... fabulous 80'💖🎼
This song still cheers me up a lot!!!😊❤
Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Straight from the Golden Age of Pop.
tolle band - sowas gibt es nicht mehr.....fanous band you cant find nothing like this today
1986, the Black Lion in Aberdare, sadly now an excellent Italian restaurant; it was the night after the night before she looked so amazing, smiling as she entered the room, everyone looked then smiled in my direction, I have never felt so embarrassed; Theresa was an amazing Mam to our beautiful daughter Debbie; sadly now deceased.

Yes, I turned off Debbie's life support machine but at least Debbie died between the two of us! Dave. 💔
Just love the sound of this song. 30 years later still one of my favourites..
A few songs make me feel so alive like this one. I can't stop listening
This is STILL one of the most beautiful tunes every written and that vocal just melts my heart......love. And that perfectly soulful acoustic arrangement aaahhhh
I'm 26 years old and I feel sad at the time I'm in, really in the 80s it made sense music and good taste
You can still enjoy it online though. I'm 24 and feel the same way about 80s music. Something about it is just so idealistic and bright sounding.
80's iconic music
OMG @ 2’39 KILLS it. Unreal tune. Great band proper underrated
Heard it on the radio and just searched like crazy for it while the tune was still on my mind. Its just got the right rhythm!
The execution of the video and the music arrangement, the intro, the bridge are just immaculate. It's stylish, sarcastic, politically correct and of course, incorrect. Sheer brilliance.
The song was made in the 80s but could belong to the 90s even 00s. You should here an acoustic version of this.
No wonder I like it. Good comment.
Couldn't agree more, Peter. That's a well thought out, lucid and intelligent comment. I particarly like the funny hats they wear in it.
AGREED .. THE WHOLE COMPOSITION WORKS SO WELL
I must agree!
Great song, one of the best bands of the 80’s…..so underrated
I've already commented, but I'll do the same again in a few years, I MISS THE 80'S ffs please take me back......
I still remember the long summer nights on the beach on those years at the end of the '80... this song was a real must!!! so sad, believe me, so sad for the nowadays generations, forced to be hurted by something called music but music's not... what a shame!
FANTASTIC , LOVED DR ROBERT.
Saw them last week. Still brilliant. Did a great version of this and Digging Your Scene. Very underrated!
You are lucky
Reminds me of them good old 80s nights, neon lights and suits in niteclubs, big haired 80s girl's..wooooo id go back in a heartbeat
Omg, wow i can't even begin to describe the feeling of finally finding this video wow after so si many years. Police academy brought me here
Brilliant. Forgot how talented these 80's musicians were.
this is never history its always reminds me of summer bbq
Even this song did not last long, still this is one of the unforgettable in my list!
Umm what ae you chatting about, Heard it on the radio last week
You talk a'lot of shit
レコード回して何百回も聴きました。ほんと好き。
such an underrated song
True!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Back when pop music was mysterious, stylish and characteristic.
you can say that again although there are some good artists still around from the 90s into the 21st century and some that came in the 21centry
