I was 15 & adored these girls...Mel was my fave..I was devastated when she passed away in 1990 at the age of only 23.....fans still remember you Mel...RIP...❤️
Such a shame Mel was only 23 when she left, it sinks my heart that music like this is sadly absent and replaced with tasteless quality, 80s, please return 😢🙏
Yeah, much as I like this song, this was part of the bad 80s music. Stock, Aitken and Waterman produced this song and they’re to blame for huge amounts of “bad” UK music of the era. It’s fun, stupid and repetitive.
Childish infant behaviour for playground school holidays to nonsense music sheet written words to convey the 1985 ideas of Queen Elizabeth II sister two family mail letters of hope about what they Mar________ and no one else knows about boys that where there age being school in the U.K COLEMANN that's why this song is not good it's bad in the year 2021 on TH-cam
Me and my sister used to dress like mel and kim. As soon as their songs came on in clubs, our inner mel and kim came out on the dance floor🤣🤣🤣🤣....we didnt look nothing like them🤣🤣🤣🤣❤❤.
This is one of those songs that was always in the background if you were young and British in 1987. Listening to it now transports you back to that time (good and bad memories). It was very sad that Mel died when she was only 23.
It makes me wonder how their music would have sounded if Mel were still alive. This song is addictive. If you listen to it and you don’t want to get up and groove, I don’t know what will get you up and dancing.
Amazing how contemporary they look in the skinny jeans, ballet flats etc. Two amazingly talented sisters, given the polish (and hit songs) by Stock, Aitken Waterman to become stars. Tragic Mel's star burned out far too soon at just 23 years old. The girls were raised in poverty by their single mum Gladys - they deserved longer together, enjoying their success. Damned cancer!
Kim's motions are firm and precise, like it. But just look at Mel, not a single sharp moment, absolute smoothness!!! Just can't stop watching her dance!
Help me!!! I can't stop replaying this addictive song!!!! I remember how popular Mel & Kim were the summer of 87! I was living near Amsterdam as an exchange student and watched the British networks, and Mel & Kim's videos got lots of air time. I absolutely fell in love with their music, and then I came home to the US and no one had heard of them...ugh! Respectable is my very favorite (FLM a close second), and the video is fantastic! Totally addictive! Great choreography without the need for smut or sleaze. I had no idea until recently that Mel had passed away at such a young age. :( Tragic loss of a lovely talent. RIP.
No misogyny, ✔️ no twerking ✔️, no violence ✔️, no sexually explicit lyrics ✔️, no satanic symbolism ✔️, no nudity ✔️, Mel & Kim you are respectable 🥰 RIP Mel.
@Lisa Surlie no Mel died from pneumonia in January 1990 aged only 23 brought on by treatment for Paraganglioma(a type of cancer) Mel is the one in the peach coloured top & black trousers
I was so dumb (or maybe just young) that I did not even twig that when Kim Appleby got into the charts later that year that it was Kim from Mel and Kim. . . until many years later.
@@cheezees I listen to plenty of stuff new and old thanks So tell me a few artists or songs that in your opinion are up to the standard of 80s pop classics? 🤔
Sincerely, I would like to come back to this time, because we enjoyed dancing and having fun. This era has become obsolete ! Why ? It was just the best !
TheNzfroggy one of P.W.Ls best. I loved that. #SteO Dublin Ireland. top tune bringing bk the 80s and 90s. big hit for poor Mel and kim. loved it p.w.l.Music Maker's. of the day. yeah! Stephen Corbally. thx.
Wow.... This is why we call them the good ol' days. When musicians were RESPECTABLE 😉 with their music, outfits, lyrics, dance moves etc.💃🕺💃🕺 I was in my teens when this came out still love it in my 50s. 🥰 Continue to RIP Mel🙏
They’re both so beautiful. I love their wiggling on the chorus. When I think that Mel left us 31 years ago next month (January 18), from pneumonia, followed by a damn cancer at only 23 years old. If it’s not despicable and unfair, to leave at such a young age. ! Like many, I still listen to this classic 33 years later.
NOW: This is what I call POWER and ENERGY MUSIC!! I'm dancing in front of my screen following your rythm! No Need To Explanation to Complication: Mel & Kim!! We're the 80's! Cesar
The irony is: they are VERY respectable. Because they present themselves as they want to be seen (independent if a bit sassy ladies) rather than the ten a penny slags repeatedly shown on MTV. As a guy I say they are an inspiration to independent ladies everywhere. Kudos to both and RIP Mel!
not the coat that matter but the man in the coat, look at Mel and Kim the way they dressed still their songs are extraordinary. the ladies dress nowadays to force men to listen their songs because no taste
OMG brings me back to memory lane! Forgot about it cause its be soooo long ago.. great song. Its so great to hear it again even being 50 today just brings back those youthful times. Miss those days 😞💗
I love their style of dress and their music! I wish that Mel could still be here with us...how I hate cancer...it takes so many great people. Rest in peace pretty lady.
I was 11 when this song was released. A stunningly beautiful Aboriginal girl did a dance to this for my year 6 class. I feel in love with her and this song. When I told my friends I loved Vicki, I was teased for liking a black girl. When I confided to my sister with new shame that I loved a girl that I shouldn’t, she kicked me up the arse. Told me never to judge, and she introduced me to Vicki’s older sister. Vicki told me they were both Aboriginal Princesses on their land. I never knew if that was true, Vicki’s older sister later fell in love with me when I got older. 🤪 What a complicated web of emotions youth brings us. I have very few good memories from my childhood I’m glad this song allows me to reflect on some joy. 🤷♂️

Two beautiful women singing and dancing, kicking ass in those outfits. Where did the 80s go?
They really nailed it with their outfits, especially the hats.

@Charlie Bank they were pointing out that Mel the one in the orange sadly died in 1990 at the age of 23
I totally agree with you, but it's not a shame she left, but a pity, a huge pitty!
Yeah, much as I like this song, this was part of the bad 80s music. Stock, Aitken and Waterman produced this song and they’re to blame for huge amounts of “bad” UK music of the era. It’s fun, stupid and repetitive.
Right Such a shame , she was very young
sure is my daughter loved them she died at 15 yrs in 1995 so much waste of talented people
R.I.P Mel 1966-1990
She was so young and pretty ☹
To this day I am reminded of a great part of my life and Mel and Kim were and always will be smiles and I'm still smiling now ❤
How good does this still sound all these years later?
Classic!
It holds up very well!

Those dance moves were on point, Mel n Kim were one formidable duo
Sisters know each and respect each other had their patterns down to a fine art in their genes
The choreography may not be especially nuts, but they have so much energy and are to precisely on time that they're a real joy to watch.

I didn't remember this song until I heard it on RPDR today! Memory unlocked.
This one still sounds fresh as the day it was released back in the late 80's.
Sounds like Smell & Quim.
Chitty chitty bang bang
Early 1987, so arguably the mid-80s. Even more impressive.
They're more than respectable.
They're the best.
