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.
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.
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
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. ]
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!
The Blow Monkeys made some of the best 80s videos. Costumes, loose storylines, slow fades, cut away arty shots? Yes, please! (And great songs too, obviously!)
WOW! 1987. I was 17. I went to, "The Apartments," in Dublin, where you just stood around looking awkward, until the slow-set came on, when you risked _utter mortfication_ going-up to a girl and asking her whether she wants a dance- But sometimes - just sometimes - she said yes. And it was the most astonishing feeling in life ...
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
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
When I first heard this fabulously fabulousness in 1987 I never thought… filled with hopes and dreams - some came true 👍🏻 I never ever thought your beautiful songwriting/song would continue to resonate with everyone all over the world, as your song continues to address universal themes of Love, Hope, Freedom, Happy times together a wonderful peaceful happy future, it’s down to each and every one of us. ❤x❤xx❤x❤ Thank you Dr Robert, Robert Howard, Thank you Neville Henry, Thank you, Mick Anker, Thank you Tony Kiley, Thank you Crispin Taylor I’ll always love your music 🎶 🎙️ 🎸 🎷 🥁 🎵 💃🏻 🕺🏻
Imagine, this song being number 2. During the summer holidays. Constantly on repeat on the radio. And your grounded....indefinitely Those lyrics speak volumes.
Dr Robert's style and phrasing unique. The 70s and 80s produced such artists that had unique DNA that couldn't be copied 100%. Bowie, Mark Bolan, Elton John to name a few. Today's artists pretty much sound the same.
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
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.
1987, 22 years old just discharged from the army, Dr. Robert was singing, beautifull ladies were dancing around us and pure "cuttie"s on ice 're coming again and again. Those were the days....
2024 - and this tune took me back to my teenage years …nice❤
Me too...I was a teenager too.
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.
Cool dad 👍
Well done to your dad, im 58, good tunes back in that era , respect to daddy from the UK.😎😎😎
Welcome, baby. 😉
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!
59 and you are bang on point
A dozen times you have to ❤
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.
56 here.....Me too! Good memories.....
same @58
This track never gets old. Absolute classic.
That's what you call soul
Wow !! A classic ! Love this song.
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.
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👍👍👍
レコード回して何百回も聴きました。ほんと好き。
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.
❤ here's your reminder that you have exceptional music taste❤
Remindeeer
Another reminder from Tipperary ❤
It doesn't have to be that way 😂

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. ]
@Louis Susan Barrett Its a good song. Enjoy.
@Louis Susan Barrett i
thanx
@Louis Susan Barrett It’s about thatcher! Great Ilusion!
Very serious message
That saxophone solo is the best moment of the 80s🤩
62 still loving this song one of my favorites ❤❤❤
It’s funny when you lived in the 80s you never knew just how great it really was .
this is what you call blue eyed soul
Gracias 80s por dejarme pertenecer a la mejor década de la música. Saludos desde Argentina.
I never got tired to listen this classic
Watching Police Academy (3 or 4) at the age of 6, thinking this track is great! Instant love! Great example of 80s musical talent
Probably one of the most underrated bands of the 80's.
Blow Monkeys, say no more!

Calm down son.... they wur bog standard.
Correct!
Probably the best era in human history
Probably?
My grt uncle is the sax player ❤
It was impossible to sit still in the 80s at the disco listening to this song. Amazing bass line, percussion and sax solo.
Belter. Listening Christmas day 2024 @ 02:15 ;) England UK 🏴🇬🇧
Wow I haven't heard this for years❤80s best decade❤
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. Thanks guys!
@@yogiaol false Germany was big in the 90s with Eurodance . 80s was UK and USA
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 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
2:38 I love this moment
Dr Robert looking fine as usual and that sax, on my! I miss the 80,s 🥲
I want to back to 80s then late 90s the music still love it . Over 40 bars please .

❤ EXACTLY your age ... And I'm one of those girls😂 I could have written this myself❤
The 80s was the best decade of music outstanding stuff
Scuola di ladri , film italiano anni 80 stupendo ❤
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
MASTERPIECE OF POP !!
What a rough life lesson! Jane
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.
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.
@@rubenzamorano5194 vete al oculista
I like that funky guitar sound a similar sound is on another 80s song I can't wait by noo shoes

Cool classic.
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
Auténtica maravilla de cancion, y de grupo. recuerdos inolvidables

DR ROBERT AMAZING
Certain songs take me straight back to a better time, this is one of those songs.. The power of music.
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 was 17 & loving life, what a great era to be a teen.
Released in 1987, amazing stuff
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
I'm gonna be 59 next week and this song reminds me how great sax was 😉
Great song and video from the brilliant Blow Monkeys. Bring back the 80s ♥️.
Jesus, the memories ....
I’m a 70s man myself with a sprinkling of the 80s and this was one of the better offerings from that era.
Not only is this a great song it features my first ever car Ford Fiesta MK2 XR2 trim! Music, car and memory bliss all at once!!!
Nice car the xr2.
I’d love a brand new XR2.
Just love the sound of this song. 30 years later still one of my favourites..
Dr Robert's wedge haircut is brill ! Usually we would tilt our heads sideways to see.... good times.
Ha! Ha! LOL ❤️💇🏻
💓💞💗💕
🇺🇦🏴🇯🇲✝️
77 now and never tire of listening to it.
Surprised to hear this playing in Tesco. I was singing to myself as I filled up my trolley. Not heard it in years.
2020. Still effortlessly classy.
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!
A few songs make me feel so alive like this one. I can't stop listening
Saw them last week. Still brilliant. Did a great version of this and Digging Your Scene. Very underrated!
You are lucky
That hairstyle. So popular in the 80's and I LOVED it. Still do!
Great song. Great band
A time when music was music. Take me back to the 80s.
Nice cool white guy, I must get my tickets to see The Blow Monkeys 🐒
Dr Robert's style and phrasing unique. The 70s and 80s produced such artists that had unique DNA that couldn't be copied 100%. Bowie, Mark Bolan, Elton John to name a few. Today's artists pretty much sound the same.
👍👍👍 all Clones of each other
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.
tolle band - sowas gibt es nicht mehr.....fanous band you cant find nothing like this today
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
One of the BEST tunes of the 80s. Hands down. So so good. Mike drop.
This song still cheers me up a lot!!!😊❤
Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Una maravilla
Still a banger of a tune from the brilliant 80s.
LET THE MUSIC PLAY¡¡
Saw them in Belfast lin march they were absolutely amazing
Che Bello è che Sballo a Ballare.... Che Ricordi..
Difficile a sentire nel 2023 questa Musica.. 💪💯🕺😘
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
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.
Best feel good vibe music ever...especially seeing them live ( 5 times) cant get enough obvs...🕺
Great song, one of the best bands of the 80’s…..so underrated
1987, 22 years old just discharged from the army, Dr. Robert was singing, beautifull ladies were dancing around us and pure "cuttie"s on ice 're coming again and again. Those were the days....
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. ✌️😙
Fantastic tune.
