- Pretenders - Brass In Pocket (Official Video) [1979]
Official music video for 'Brass in Pocket' by The Pretenders. It was written by Chrissie Hynde and James Honeyman-Scott, and produced by Chris Thomas, released in 1979. It features on the debut album ‘Pretenders’, released on 7 January, 1980.
The band's third single was scored number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in January 1980 (making it the first new number-one single of the 1980s) and number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.
Hynde got the idea for the song's title when, during an after-show dinner, she overheard someone enquiring if anyone had, "Picked up dry cleaning? Any brass in pocket?"

Lyrics:
Got brass in pocket
Got bottle I'm gonna use it
Intention I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Got motion restrained emotion
Been driving Detroit leaning
No reason just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I gotta have some of your attention give it to me
Got rhythm I can't miss a beat
Got new skank it's so reet
Got something I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I gotta have some of your attention
Give it to me
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I gotta have some of your attention
Give it to me

One of the best, most under-rated bands of all time.
Love Crissy's voice
Y do people always say that
BECAUSE...IT'S TRUE!@@andreaeden6163
yup.. brah i been saying that since late ‘80s..
@@andreaeden6163 hate that saying - they were very rated
THEYRE NOT UNDERRATED AT ALL 😂😂😂😂
I consider Chrissie Hynde to be the best female rock singer in the last 43 years. She has always been backed by great musicians as well. 👍👍👍
I saw the Pretenders open for Guns N Roses last summer. She sounds remarkably the same! It was pretty amazing
@@maddesi2709 Haven't been to one of her shows yet, but I've seen some recent shows on YT. She's still got it. She'll probably be rockin' into her 90's like Tony Bennett did. All of those healthy vegetables she eats are keepin' her young. 👍👍👍
Your So Right ! She F___ Rocks!!
Best women singers in the past 43 have to be Taylor swift, faith hill, Trisha yearwood - then Chrissie Hynde
@@robertweir5313Taylor Swift before Chrissie? You absolute plank 🙄
61 years old and some tears in my eyes watching this. Chrissie so vulnerable and sweet. But more so seeing two young, talented men who are no longer with us.
😅
Dam that hit deep brother
Always tinged with sadness as far as I'm concerned but this never ages.
At 71, I still dig Chrissy Hind, her sound, her style, her rock and roll....she's still special!
I'm with you Patrick
I'm 74 and I agree with you 👍
75 here and I couldn't agree with you more.

Going 61 and still today this song sounds fresh and sexy! Love Chrissie,she’s super hottie! Love Pretenders
The pretenders finest tune.
Chrissy Hynde is on a freakin' PINNACLE as far as I am concerned.
I'm 56 now and when I hear this, I'm 12 years old again. Singing into my hairbrush, shaking it in front of my mirror...belting it out like I believed that I was something special.
Damn I love this song.
My favorite song to do Karaoke, transports me into a confident badass!
I am 56 and had the same experience 🎉😂
I am 56 and had the same experience 🎉😂
You're special, so special 💗 😊
AMEN!!!!! I'm 57 and I know all about singing in the hair brush. It was fun then and it still is😂😂
One of the perks of getting older is having an encyclopedia of great hits from the past 70 years (!) and waking up in the morning from a dream that has Brass in Pocket as its theme song. The term "Detroit leaning" refers to a posture when driving a car. That was a big deal if you wanted to look cool driving a car. I love Chrissie, she has such a seductive, sultry voice.
There is something verging on telepathic going on here. The pulse of the song - driven by Martin Chambers on drums - pushes and pulls with Chrissie Hynde's vocals in a way that adds so much to this classic. I can still remember buying the single. I was 15. I'm now 60. That late 70s to early 80s era was an incredible time for music. I was privileged to be there.
That's really hard to define. But recognizing the LaGrange point of perfect balance between all seven extremes of dimensional reality would be of great help. And this was one of those songs that always made me smile. Chrissie Hynde is one of my favorites from the 80's.
Me 2
Yes, _we were_ privileged! I even met that caddy, with Fun Boy Three, and Madness, in it, at work
I was born in 1990 and completely agree with this. Late seventies and early eighties is my favorite era in music. So much going on that I like - punk, new wave, power pop, NWOBHM, etc.
Oh Chrissy, you don't have to work to capture my attention. You had me at "got brass in pocket."
My boyfriend once gave me a mixed tape and this was the first track on it,11 months later we married and it lasted for 28 fantastic years. Sadly he passed away 4 years ago. I've managed to put it behind me but now every time I hear this piece I automatically have to smile and laugh to myself. Music is definitely the best medicine 😊
honor to his memory Lady. Strength to you.
@@michaelkaiser1864 That is so nice of you , thanks for that 👌
@@sharonkremer614 my wife and i are like yall. We met through mutual friends at our hangout (a general store). The owner was our den mother and many times confidant.
6 years later my friend was in a bind and needed a place to crash. She was then 19 and i 24. She never moved out lol.3 years later married. 27 years this october.
@@michaelkaiser1864 And who said marriages don't last because that's also a lovely story. It's crazy how a simple but also great piece of music can bring up such beautiful memories. Good luck for the coming future and don't stop believing in the magic of music 😉

Love them period.
I was in the kitchen cooking a while back and heard my 20 year daughter put on this track in her bedroom upstairs , I loved the fact not only a fantastic song that always rocks you but also the generations coming up keeping the old classics alive . I couldn’t help singing at the top of my voice and doing a boogie in the kitchen in my 60’s ..love my daughter and Thank you the Pretenders 🙏❤️🇦🇺
Chrissie is definitely special. Love her. Love this song.

80s kid here who grew up with such classic tunes...it's 2024 they don't make them like this nowadays...
Same here!!
I’m 53 years old and Afro American and I grew up on all types of music and this is one of them brass in the pocket by the pretenders that in the early 80s hit hard and this song I still feel and love this song till this day 👍🏾
why do Americans always have to state their "race" before talking about their taste in music...Im curious.
Me too👍
@@pocojoyo Because, unfortunately, a lot of people in America don’t listen to music outside their own culture, that’s why.
I’m black too and I grew up loving this music. Still do.
@@MsAppassionata Im green and I like this song !

What a legacy her and her band left behind.
Agreed. I saw them play in a bar in 1982. It was a college bar and most of the patrons didn't want to pay the 8 bucks to see the concert because it was their beer money so there was probably around 50 people there. I didn't know they were playing that night but paid the 8 bucks and had 2 bucks left over for a beer. They played on the dance floor and I stood in front a few feet away from Chrissie and watching them play the entire concert. Very fun and cool times.
@@Kawasaki750H2stroke Lucky you! Along with Pat Benatar and Ann Wilson (and Suzi Quatro) Chrissie is a natural rocker. I would have given up the beer and stuck the $2 in her tip jar.😁😁
@@rocco... Yeah she is. Most of the people who paid to get in were sitting at the tables around the dance floor but I stood on the dance floor in front of Chrissie and she kept pointing at me and I was like I think she wants to party with me afterwards LOL. Man I wish I could have partied with her.
@@Kawasaki750H2stroke She would have made an interesting Emma Peel.
@@rocco... Agreed. I think shes pretty hot in this Brass In Pocket video.
Somebody give the bass player his flowers for this one.
Chrissy is such swagger, grace and that je nai sais quoi. Just can't be measured.
well said.
no doubt. something about her most cannot explain
chrissy hynde elle est nikel ! sa voix est genial et sa personnalité aussi ! pas touche a toutes ces meufs du rock !
Oh, I don't know...!
James, Martin and Pete are incredibly handsome dudes
Her beautiful voice really shines in this song.
What a cracking song from the Pretenders which was the first number 1 single of the 80s in the UK.
We are admiring your blade runners from over here across the Atlantic pond.
My wife absolutely loved Chrissy.🌹
I am 55 and have heard this since I was a teenager and never saw the video. It made me cry. Ugh.
makes me cry too ❤️
I am also 55 and it was the first music video I ever saw (you never forget your first, right) What different lives we have led!
Same. like she deserves a happy ending and he was obviously into her.

@@gillymac9363 What's wrong with Earth Song? And/or with crying at this video or Earth Song? 😂😂 *weeps copiously into elbow* Leave David alone!! 😂
72-year old and this is always one that perks me up. Love Chrissie and her music.
I am 51& My Dearest Friend who past away in January of this yr would have turned 57. He use to Sing& dance for me to Lift my spirits up when I was down & stressed.
So I dedicated this to him for his Birthday.
I Miss Corey very much. He was Very Special to me. I'll miss him til I die
I once heard a music reviewer call this song "the most perfectly-composed pop song of all time". I'll never forget that quote! 😊
I always turn up the radio when this song comes on.
Still an absolutely perfect song, I just love the sultry and wistful vocals of Chrissie. Never mind the silly video, this is a true classic.
Love Chrissy, and she was and still is Special ❤❤❤
I have been looking for this song for about 30+ years, with a lack of knowledge about it and only remembering partial lyrics..... and I just found it!
🙌🏼 Chrissie Hynde has thee most beautiful voice (even now - it seems it hasn't changed at all) and the Pretenders are incredible! 💗
Just saw her open for the Foo Fighters in Seattle. 72, and she's still got it.
MTV days....song still rocks today
Christie hynde is absolutely amazing. They’re ain’t too many singers that make me cry. She’s one of ‘em.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams..

I so agree with that statement 😢😢😢
It’s always “now”.
is that from a play, or did he say it?
"Preserve your memories; they're all that's left you." -- Simon & Garfunkel
Chrissie Hynde hit the scene like a meteor.
Writer, singer, looks, musicianship, brains & balls, she was the entire package.
No weakness anywhere.
Hasn't been anyone else like her since.
If Aretha was the Queen of Soul, Chrissie was the Queen of Rock..
Pure talent and unique no one like her.
And a philosopher. She will often hold up a copy of the Bhagavad-gita, the Sanskrit scripture spoken by Lord Krishna. If you look at her picture you can see she wears tulsi mala, the necklace made of scared wood worn by Hare Krishna devotees.
Queen of Rock..
Agreed man, Chrissie was/is fucking amazing. SOOO talented in every respect.
She was always in thick of music revolutions... She came up in same burgeoning punk scene in england
The best 3 minutes and 1 second of music you'll ever hear.
You really are "special" Chrissie. You and the band kicked ass BIG TIME.
40 years later Chrissie is still special
❤❤❤❤❤❤
TAINT. SHE SOMETHING AND A BAG OF CHIPS
Fuck Yeah I Love Her I Love That Chick For Reals Fo Sho Yay Yaya !
Still love this song. She's so beautiful
I was also thinking how special she still is
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!
I was 12 in 1979. I remember this song so vividly. Funny how music becomes the colors, in the paintings, of our lives.
This song got my teenage heartbroken self out of bed!
Great perspective!

ALL CLASS ❤️🎸🎶,✌️😎BOB!
A classic single from one of the most solid, song-to-song albums of the 80s. I cried when Jimmy died, was heartbroken when Farndon died, which brought an end to this lineup. Every song on this album was an intense tune.
It's amazing that the band even survived those losses; Chrissie has said that the determination to make up for the loss, just when they felt they had so much more to give, has contributed to the longevity of the band.
I think the loss was made even worse for her personally by the fact that Farndon died less than a year after he had been fired while Honeyman.-Scott died just two days after he had been part of the decision to sack Farndon. The vibes of guilt and recrimination around the band during those months are easy to imagine - also, the fear of how they might look in the music press.
this was released in the 70s. not 80s
I love Chrissie's delivery on this one - great voice!
Yes, her use of note bends and swells make it sound so anticipating and hot! Also, the audible breathing in her voice, it really adds to the sensuous quality. She sounds both vulnerable, spunky and longing at the same time.
Dang good thing they included the lyrics here--hardest to understand of any song ever in the history of EVER. "Detroit leaning" sounds like she's saying "ditalini."
1980: me buying record
2020: my kids are playing this.
That's why i am here.
It's special, so special.
As a musician, I will take this era in my dreams over this stupid time we are living though now.
Good kids
Good for you! Me too. Kids, and now grandkids. Giving them their inoculations from this vapid age of music. Bravo.

Love her eyeliner.
One of the sexiest and cutest songs ever recorded. Perfect video for the perfect song. ❤
An incomparable song and an incomparable band. For many of us, they defined the late 70s and early 80s.
Yes, absolutely, one of the essential bands of those new wave years. This is such a great song, half-understatedly erotic and with that tight, laid-back beat (there was some buried soul influence to them , kinda like the jazz undercurrent of early Dire Straits).
Rather sad that the influence of such a singular band has waned to nothing...
100% definitely defined that time.
They did define the late 70s and early 80s (1978 - 1984).
@@louise_rose I think Chrissie can't escape her upbringing in Akron, Ohio, (relatively) near Detroit, and all the Motown influence that had on her. You can hear it in her singing voice, I think. There is always in undertone of R & B.
Love you Chrissy 💓. Nobody else like you ♀️. You're special 🤩
Brings back happy memories when i was in my twenties borrowing MTV tapes from a shop in my subdivision and going to concerts. Those days were one of my happiest when I look back now. Going on 62 now.

I'm 61. Nice to know those who appreciate this music
Saw them on the first two US tours. The epitome of rock at the time.
Ha ce morceaux !!! Que des bon souvenirs d'adolescents. Un monde disparu
One of those songs that both absolutely defines a time and era but also completely transcends it to become a universal timeless classic.
Inoubliable
65 and I'm still special when I hear this song. 🎶
I’m 62. From Detroit. Chrissy is from Ohio. When I first heard this song I was in our cover band wagon on the way to a gig. It was so edgy and had a bit of a Motown feel to it. Fell in love with her then and to this day.

@@louise_rose I think can answer the "Brass in pocket" one, It was old British slang for having money to spend.
Love it, 80's music is like a time machine that will take me back to a better place and time until my last breath. 😢❤
So setimental about then and 90,s myself sometimes!😀
Right? This is some powerful music here, revives the memories of being young and carefree!
This was released in the 70s. not 80s
Yes MTV was fascinating, it supposedly folded last year. There was more music shows that weren't contests😅
Nice to see the four original band members. RIP James and Pete.
It’s hard to believe I’m growing old now when I hear this song I was a young teenager now I’m in my 50s it takes me back to that special time nothing will ever be like my childhood 80s! So much great music in all genre.
I agree with you there. I was 6 years old when this song came out. It still sounds as good as it always has. It never lost its touch. It is really great
80’s childhood was the best!
Growing up in the 80’s was the best 🎹🎤 🎶 🎵 🎼 📻
you"re so right!!
I've been going through and making a play list for myself and when listening to certain ones from the early '80's, when my marriage broke up, my parents, kids and I moved out of state to my and my mom's home state I thought, "Oh goody! A NEW start!" Yeah...oh well, so much for that idea...especially for as backwards woman I was...men haven't changed, though music has, and my sons are all grown. I'm a proud Gramma, even though I rarely get to see my granddaughters...but, they're all fine! The WORST thing over the past decades was the loss of my beautiful son, Michael, in 2015...fentanyl. But, he had had back surgery and the script was real...TOTALLY above board and legal. But he had suffered so for year after year and didn't have a clue about fentanyl and what it would do to him...I'd rather it had been me. Thanks to anyone who shares my words. I would listen/read anyone, any time, because at my age (76) I've been through hell and high water, and would never refuse to listen to anyone's words....
I saw her open for Stevie Nicks 6 years ago...Chrissie stole the show. ❤
Chrissy still performing in 2024❤❤❤
I absolutely love Chrissie Hynde

I truly miss music videos on MTV. I wish they would come back. I could watch videos all day. Especially awesome ones like this song.
@@rubytuesday4379 I think it's because we remember how, we heard an watched it, the memories r complete then u watched it the way u remember
RUclips TV has MTV classic and they play tons of music videos!
@@KristenSullivanMusic thank you so much
Yeah, I remember watching MTV and other tv channels/shows in the 1980s/early 90s and getting introuced to lots of exciting new bands that way. Of course many of those videos are now on RUclips, but today's bands and record labels don't really come up with as powerful songs and videos as back then!
Most of the good stuff on RUclips, when it comes to music videos and live clips, is from bands that launched their careers more than twenty years ago, or even forty years ago... :(
Same here..I know we have You Tube..but still miss MTV early 80's.. especially Rick Springfield..
Brings tears to my eyes - such blessed times, Chrissie, James, Pete and Martin you made my world sparkle...
It just brought tears to my eyes too and I don't even know why - probably because she's awesome; that time will never return, we're all getting older and some of us missed out on life. Chrissie clearly didn't.
Feel the same.....I just thought it would go on and on...
they are the coolest of the cool! like all your music!
We think of U2 and REM as starting the jangly guitar revolution, but this album preceded both their debuts.
Back in the day I was being trained for bodybuilding competition and this was my song for it . Perfect. 💝 Chrissie and Pretenders.
Sure it’s been said, but this one”s truly original and “Very Special!”
Back in August 2024 to listen to the classic from the 70's ❤❤❤From South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦

Chrissie Hynde is so special. Her voice is like silk for ears.
1979---I was working for a department store in downtown LA; I went to an electronics trade show which introduced the Sony Walkman to the world, but these little things called 'music videos' were being shown on projection tv's. This video attracted more attention than the Walkman!
@@michelangelo144 The cutting edge technologies at that Trade Show were things like the Bone Fone (google or RUclips it)- which was basically a radio that sat on your neck and shoulders and provided you with personal tunes... Laser Discs were all the rage (I remember one company showing a compiled disc with clips from Jaws II, Elton John video for a song called “Ego”, etc)... the videocassette-format battle between VHS and Beta was big news (Sony had the Betamax machine but still lost out to the VHS format machines)...
Cheers!
understandably so. yeah!
Are you sure it was 1979? Because this video was released in early 1980 according to VH1's The Big 80's which has been off the air for more than 20 years. I used to have the record and not only it's printed and copyrighted 1979. It's also copyrighted 1980. And the album was released in January, 1980.
@@jasondudash5501 the single was released in 1979, before the full album... the video was made to promote the single on British music shows so it was released with the single. That VH-1 show used to drive me nuts with incorrect info.
@@leebarbier5257 When an album is released, sometimes the video doesn't get released until a year later. Especially if the album is released at the end of the year. But I do feel your pain about VH1 music videos showing a year off. But it's usually because they weren't released until then. So I'm only putting what I remember seeing on VH1. Do you remember The Tubes? They've always been my favorite group. My favorite album by The Tubes is The Completion Backward Principle, released in April, 1981. The first song on that album is Talk To Ya Later, which is my favorite song of all time and in my book it's the best rock 'n' roll song ever written! Whenever I watched VH1's The Big 80's, I've always waited for The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later video to come on and to see what year it would show. 1981 or 1982? But I never did get to see The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on VH1's The Big 80's. But I got to see The Tubes' She's A Beauty on The Big 80's and it showed 1983 which is the correct year and the song first charted on April 9th of that year. So if I were to see The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on The Big 80's and it showed, 1982, it would've drove my up a wall! But a high school friend told me he saw The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on VH1's The Big 80's, but he doesn't remember the exact year it showed. But he told me he was almost positive that it showed 1981. But on the music sheet of Talk To Ya Later, the copyright date shows 1982 and I'm mad about that! I wrote to the publisher but I couldn't get them to update it to 1981 instead of 1982. So I don't blame you at all! I feel the same way you do. Especially with The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later being copyrighted 1982 on sheet music. And because I never got to see The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later on VH1's The Big 80's, I put 1981 on the youtube comments of The Tubes' Talk To Ya Later video which is the correct year. And I like it like that.
1978...45rpm....i was in 12 grade...I heard this song... everywhere.....Now it is 2023 ...it is still Great...A Real Classic!!!
I`ve noticed alot of people still dont know what the detroit leaning line in the verse means. It means crusin down the street in a classic detroit car, window down, and arm all the way outside, resting down against the outside of the car door. If you are old enough to have driven those type of cars it was real easy and comfortable to do it unlike with modern cars today,
We are all special because we are all unique in an eccentric way. There will never be another you. Your special for sure!
I wish everyone believed that and we could get rid of the peer pressure, herd mentality, and toxic positivity. Be a much better world without all that bullshit and lying.

Lyrics
I got brass in a pocket
I got bottle, I'm gonna use it
Intention, I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Got motion, restrained emotion
Been driving, Detroit leaning
No reason, just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my, my, my
Imagination
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special (special)
So special (special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me
I got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
I got a new skank, so reet
Got something, I'm winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers, gonna use my, my, my
Imagination
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special (special)
So special (special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me
'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special (special)
So special (special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me
Oh-oh-oh
Anyway you want

I have to agree with peaches, the Chrissie behind is worthy of the teaches of peaches!
I've love you's since I was young. I remember sitting on the bathroom counter, smoking a cigarette while putting on my makeup and listening to your amazing voice. My brother was in a band from as young as I can remember and just hearing him play one of your songs, I thought they were the greatest, I was hooked. I first heard ya when I was 6, 6 years after you beautiful music graced this earth. Now I'm here telling you that your still awesomesauce, I made many people fall in love with your music in my 46 years of life, I'm thanking you for everything you's have done for us, the joyful music you've made that I've partied hard to, laughed with, cried to, shared wholeheartedly with and gave a song to/for. I'm thankful for your band and your music, the fact that your touring, I'm going to try and bring my 19 year old daughter, it would be something for her to remember and treasure always. I really have enjoyed your music and will continue to do so until I can't and hope to make it to your amazing concert. Thank you for being you. Peace and much love sent from Katt, Glen and Dereka. Fur babies, Emma, Enzo, Nia and Marvin in Ontario, Canada.
I sincerely hope CHRISSIE reads your post. I'm a lifelong fan of THE PRETENDERS too and your post flooded me with great memories and brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your kind words.
You'd is not a word

First one I heard was "Stop Your Sobbing," in this new wave girl's apartment. She had this lunch-box purse, listening to the chorus of like five Chrissie Hynde's harmonizing. Pretenders 1 knocked me out. So hard, so rough, so beautiful. Nobody, I mean nobody can wail and moan like Chrissie. I wonder if when she was hanging with the Sex Pistols they had any clue who she was gonna be.
All I really saw in your comment was smoking a cigarette in the bathroom. I quit smoking 1 1/2 years ago. I just made really strong coffee and after seeing your comment now I’m thinking a cigarette would be lovely. Boohoo but it’s no longer ever going to be an option for me to ever smoke again. Oh well. I have the memories and now thankfully I’m much healthier. God is great... He helped me to quit drinking and smoking. Yay... sobriety rocks!! God please bless everyone here!!❤️🤗
Her voice and that bass bounce back in forth and the bass complements her swag the way she sings with so much style
Pretenders! Damn I love Chrissie! What a voice...
