And as a German I know why... We don't understand the lyrics. I only understand "I am an emgineer" or "I do engineer" and this give the song a positive sympathic feeling :-)
Ja, Geiles Lied auch nach über 30 Jahren hörbar ! ♥🎶 Viele Erinnerungen gerade durch den Kopf sausen. 🎶 Da war die Welt noch unbeschwert und Toleranter als Heute.
When I was only 18 I gave birth to my son in The Royal Herbert hospital. This video gave me goose bumps. I saw the chapel inside the hospital where I was churched before coming home. In those days we had a little church service before coming out of hospital. I am going to send this video to him so he can see where he was born.
Was 13, last year of primary school. Decades later, now 48 years young and still banging this tune. God, the 80's were epic, as a kid here in South Africa 🇿🇦
Amen to that,Back in the 80s it seemed like a buddy always had a tape full of good music and most of the time it ended up in your car or whoever had the wheels,in 86 i was in High School and i ended up with one of the aforementioned tapes and this song was in it, loved it from day one,matter of fact i never cared much for their "obsession" song but this one is my favorite, dont get me wrong, obsession is a great tune but they played it to death,this one is a hidden gem.
How handsome is Bill Wadhams!?! Those cheekbones you could cut glass on! The gorgeous hair! The strong jaw! The Greek statue nose! The perfect philtrum! The sexy gaze! The towering height! He certainly remains one of the 80s' jaw-droppingly beautiful celebs. [Saw him about seven years ago in concert and he has actually held onto those astounding looks.] And then of course there's the great music..."I Engineeer" is one of the band's very best, and a stellar contribution to the New Wave canon.
...i remember when this tune came out (Summer 1986), and was GUTTED that it bombed; now, seeing all the GERMAN love it's getting, knows that I've should've MOVED there! ..ha-HAAA!! ...got a bit of a Human League / Depeche Mode vibe, too....
@@HendrikNBG :ja, ja... und nach ein paar Wochen und Monaten war nichts. In Deutschland hat man nie was richtig geschätzt. Dann lieber im 20.Platz in USA, dafür aber jahrelang gute Musik..
A Masterpiece, a totally underrated song. It sounded a little in Ecuador and I loved it since the very first time. Most people don't remember it. What a pity.
Das lied hätte genau so heute raus kommen können. Wir hören zzt nen 80iger sender und da läuft das so ein zwei mal am tag und ich denk mir jedes mal so...das doch nicht aus den 80zigern🤔🤔
It was back in the day in the 1980’s and it is one of the one hit wonders of the club dance play in 1986 or 1987. I grew in the 1980’s and I stillloved that song from Animotion.
I was at this place today-Which at this time was a closed + derelict + was the Royal Herbert Hospital In 1990, the empty and disused site was purchased by a property developer and developed into 228 luxurious flats and apartments called the Royal Herbert Pavilions. Completed in 1995, today's site incorporates a leisure club, private bar, tennis courts, swimming pool and outdoor nature reserve. Also that same year-Kate Bush filmed the video for Experiment IV in the then abandoned hospital as well
I'm from the US and have never heard this song until today. Only have heard "Obsession". Anyway, I was listening to RTL Luxembourg and they played this. Sounded really cool and looked it up. Good stuff.
This is in my top 10 most favourite song of the 80s,it reached no. 4 in South Africa and charted for 19 weeks. It did better than Obsession which got to no. 9, I love everything about this song.
If was around this time that MTV was going full corporate and shoving lame ass Bon Jovi down everyone's throat, thereby accelerating the downfall of all the cool and quirky New Wave/experimental bands (like Animotion).
I am a software engineer, I make games, and I am currently in tears. 🤣 From now on I see no reason to reply to any bug report with anything more than a link to this clip.
Ja das stimmt eigentlich! Wenn ich mich heute so umschaue, da frag ich mich was passiert ist. Außer die Doooofen a'la Merkel, die werden immer schöner. Naja ist alles Geschmacksache. Wenn de doooof wie Belschak bist, wirste eben Polizist! In Merkels Polizeistaat!
The people in this video are so aesthetically angular. I love it. I miss the 80s.
Only Germans appreciated the engineering genius of this song - not even Top 50 in America, Number 2 in Germany
"Obsession" received around-the-clock airplay on FM radio stations in the U.S., "I Engineer" did not.
I'm Norwegian and LOVE this song! I have a download of this, along with "Holiday" by The Other Ones.
I really love the stuff Americans don't!
And as a German I know why... We don't understand the lyrics. I only understand "I am an emgineer" or "I do engineer" and this give the song a positive sympathic feeling :-)
It's an absolute anthem, better than obsession, but I never heard it either.
I didn.t also not work in Holland. Totally unknown here. Brilliant song

hast so recht war die Welt ein bisschen besser
@@dreijaner nicht nur ein bisschen, mehr Respekt auch gab, als Heute.
die "Guten alten Zeiten " einfach tolle Musik und unvergessen !!!!!!
Das stimmt
Absolut!
I salute as well!
Mega mega mega. Ich höre es gerade zum ersten Mal. Vorhin lief es im Radio. Ich höre es seitdem in Dauerschleife

This melody is perfectly 80's Engineered! Classic

I am turning 51 in couple of days -- lekker in Suid Afrika
Same, but a kid in Southern California.
Just awesome song. Nou gaan ons braai....
Apartheid was epic?
@@RestlessWandererOriginal Stick to the topic. We are talking about music.
It's really upsetting that this song is not on spotify
I also cant find it on Spotify, only covers
I can find only the Remix :D perhaps its Different from Country to Country
From Germany
@@trembling3674 Thank you! Until I followed your instructions, I couldn't find it either!
Better than most bigger songs. Australian radio let them down.
I remember this song. It was a Top 3 Hit here in Germany in 1986.
Sonic
Yes, the good old times..
It was a great song!!
i love this song
What was this song about?
Also bist du Deutscher?
Awesome song. Of course loved by people with good taste. Period.

Yes! When I saw him I was shocked!
I totally agree 😉
His eyes killed me dead as a teen and still do.

We heard this in Mexico in the 80s and it was huge. One of the best pop songs ever.
It’s 2023 - and I am loving this track. ❤
Even at 2024....
Astri Plane, british girl, came to US , stayed and jiined the group
Underrated song!
Maybe underrated in the US - All over Europe the song was pretty successfull - here in Germany it reached No. 2 in 1986...

Kinda several
In fact, they seemed to prefer Obsession
80's forever.Greetings from Berlin.(Fechi's design factory)
The 80ies, Best Decade, Great Music
Also best movies, fashions, toys, shows and cartoons. Also the food even tasted better!
A Masterpiece, a totally underrated song. It sounded a little in Ecuador and I loved it since the very first time. Most people don't remember it. What a pity.

It's a masterpiece....still love it after all these years!

One of my favs
I really missed this song back in 1986.
Wer hat den Song auch über 80s 80s im Radio entdeckt und sich direkt in den Song verliebt?
Am 12.08.23 dort gehört. Bin ein Kind der 80er. Erinnert mich an meine Jugend.
Da werden Erinnerungen Wach...immer gerne!!
Love it 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩
Love this song !!!!!!!
For eternity ...
I prefer this to "Obsession" !
It was on the radio today, I'm really grateful ☺️

Hermosa canción por más que pasen los años siempre será una de mis favoritas.
This song is finally on Spotify!!
It was just great songs in the 80's love it forever
This song was a hit in South Africa. I still own the vinyl album.
You have a good taste in music.
This is also one ofmy best song when i was in grade school now im 50 still listening and wacth thank to the one who downloaded this song
Several years looking for the title of this song and the name of the band, OMG! Animotion
Couldn't you of just typed some of the lyrics you knew into google lol
Where you from?
@@mikekaraoke
I remembered the music and very few parts of the text, vague memories.
What parts of the lyrics did you remember, & where you from?
This good band had three very different soundubd CDs and over a dozen great songs .they went from dance to aor .love the new mixes on debut.
I grew up in the 80s in America. How have I never heard this amazing song?
It was on MTV and radio very briefly in the spring of 1986.
If was around this time that MTV was going full corporate and shoving lame ass Bon Jovi down everyone's throat, thereby accelerating the downfall of all the cool and quirky New Wave/experimental bands (like Animotion).
Magic!
Ihr größter Hit.Zu Recht!
awesome mid eighties pop video!!
I didn't know that this song from Animotion was? Very good song.
I am a software engineer, I make games, and I am currently in tears. 🤣 From now on I see no reason to reply to any bug report with anything more than a link to this clip.
Song is timeless
In anul 86 mi-a placut la nebunie aceasta melodie o gasesc si azi la fel de reusita!! O trupa cam necunoscuta, nu stiu daca azi mai exista.
Big MUSIC!!!!!!
So are you!!!! ;-)
ging ich mit 15 voll drauf ab... fast noch besser 2024...
Not heard this since my childhood in the 80s ...
Nice flashback!!
Hab damals wegen der bässe meine Autoboxen geschrottet 😀
Ich auch aber richtig fette Boxen 🥊 JBL LX 80
Ja mann das ist der Klassiker geile mucke laut machen und irgendwann kannste die Boxen zusammen fegen🤣🤣🤣
Un clásico buenísimo
Love this song 🎵 ❤
Das hat Wissenschaft
My favorite Animotion song actually.
die 80er - was sahen wir toll aus
Ja das stimmt eigentlich! Wenn ich mich heute so umschaue, da frag ich mich was passiert ist. Außer die Doooofen a'la Merkel, die werden immer schöner. Naja ist alles Geschmacksache. Wenn de doooof wie Belschak bist, wirste eben Polizist! In Merkels Polizeistaat!
@@birgitmatzat472 du übertreibst nur ein wenig 🤣 ohne Witz heul wo anders hier ist nur Platz für gute Musik
Genauso
Haven't heard this one in ~30 years!
And why is that, You should of bought this single or album later on when it came out-I saw music video for it on TV other days on a 80's channel
One of my lesser favorites written by phenom hit-writer Holly Knight (although I love 99.9% of everything she composes)!
Super Musik :-)
Ja!!
I loved the new wave pop movement, so much great work came out of that, in America and Europe
The coolest decade of all time, not only in terms of music 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
Who listening this awesome song in 2021 ?
Me!!!
Not really allowed to do this, but I will. That guy is Sami! Finish!! Hi, buddy. I'm Apache, and you guys are GREAT!
OMG war das ne geile Zeit.
It looks like this song is shooting up in popularity since it's now on Spotify.
