The 80s spoiled us…Proof! I must admit, until now, I have completely forgotten about The Payolas. Amazing songs. Having access to MuchMusic, from Canada, I was able to glean music and bands MTV didn’t air. The whole world was a stage. And music fans were not without a menu full of options. The Payolas came with a bit of a punch. Great music. The 80s spoiled us…
@@jaymeskasp5267 from the movie Valley Girl with Nicholas Cage and Michael Bowen. About 15 or 20 minutes into the movie, maybe a 1/2 hour, when they're cruising Hollywood Boulevard for the 1st time in the movie. Michael Bowen's daughter, Alexa, is a friend of mine. I've hung out with him a little. He's a super cool cat!!
I told that to my wife whilst driving in a rough part of town; our 8 year age difference was evident! Of course it didn’t make sense given the radio/touch screen of modern cars but was funny. Nice pull!
Great song by The Payolas, The Eyes of a Stranger. If you got to grow up anytime in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic cars, movies, music and concerts from the greatest eras in pop culture that will never be repeated, YOU were very blessed! Rock on!!!
I'm wiping away a tear ..... This is 2020 and I was 20 when this song came out (1982) lol. I remember that summer well. A lot of great songs came out that summer. This was definitely one of my favorites. Never get tired of hearing it to this day. Thankyou mister Hyde!
outside the orpheum. what a great place to see live music. my memories were granville street, hastings street smiling budda commodore . all of it. life was good music was great and it lives on.

Valley Girl always makes me remember. Heavy rotation on KQAK San Francisco. One of the best FM stations of the era. Later Live 105, but the QUAKE was there at the very start.
I had a very close female friend (with benefits) that had an uncanny resemblance to the BEAUTIFUL young lady in this video. She's been gone 22 years now. Lung cancer @ age 29. I think of her every time I watch this. It's rough. GREAT SONG.
it is not the early 80's without this song and without valley girl !! I remember having the movie soundtrack ; I love every song. It was late spring 1983. I saw it at the drive in and at the theater in Washington DC on a huge curved screen .
I love what Randy was about here, same with Julie; they were both unique Characters (Randy was punk, Julie had parents who ran a health food shop). I feel they were different, but not really.
" Can I touch you to see if your real " has to be one of the best opening lines of any 80's song ever. It hooks you in almost immediately and the guitars in sync with the synthesizers works perfectly.
Man! I almost completely agree with you... I just told my wife the other day the opening line has to be the best ever man! I really can't think of any other song lyric that catches you this quickly. Definitely hooks you immediately!
Payola guitarist Bob Rock (the one in the glasses) went on to be a major rock producer. His credits include Metallica's Black album, he's also produced for Loverboy, Aerosmith, The Cult, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and even Michael Buble. Quite a career for the payola guitarist.
Tom Dulle But Bob Rock is not nice as a person. He deliberately let the Metallica's St. Anger album go out of the studio unfinished and terribly produced.
I never understood why Metallica worked with him again. I had heard the "Black" sessions were very contentious. so as the old saying goes...fool me once shame on you. fool me twice shame on me. They knew what they were getting into working with Bob again, so they are at least 50% to blame, and Metallica has done a wonderful job over time of alienating themselves in the industry. They should have had their pick of producers. I'm guessing that St Anger is a situation where they pissed off better options. A good producer is a good producer, but that doesn't mean that they are a good fit with everyone.
Funny to hear all these keyboard warriors calling out Bob Rock. I bet none of you twerps have ever met him let alone be in his company. Metallica certainly choose who they work with and what they release not Bob. It's not all $$ with Mr Rock..he does some punk/indie stuff too for projects he likes.
@@mrfrogg46able Lol, they're definitely a Canadian band... Only the singer, Paul Hyde, was British born and moved to Canada in his teen years. The rest were Canadian born and i'm pretty sure Hyde eventually became a Canadian citizen and still lives in Canada. So regardless of what you claim, they're definitely a Canadian band and have always been one.
@@mrfrogg46able - Actually only one was an english immigrant, and he immigrated at like 13. He very much considers himself Canadian. Thus it's a Canadian band. Cope.
Thank u for the sweet,poignant, great memory of me sitting on a bridge alone when i 18 staring down at the city of angels wondering what its all about..
One of the reasons this song sounds so great (in addition to being a terrific song from the start) is because it was produced by the late, great Mick Ronson, David Bowie's right hand man and guitar player in the Spiders from Mars. ("Suffragette City", "Jean Genie", etc. - examples of Mick's work from the Ziggy era). Great band, The Payolas.
OH OH OH A true believer HA ! Mick WAS ZSATSFM and Transformer (lou REED) To this day the licks on" Im so Free" "Moonage Daydream" are not surpassed . The fucker was a monster RIP M.R.
The girl working the theatre box office is named "Jade Blade" (stage name) she was the founding member /singer/guitarist of one of the first "all female Punk bands" The Dishrags. Originally from Victoria BC, Canada (based in Vancouver) Releases : Past Is Past (1979) ep 7" Death In The Family (1980) ep 7' Love/Hate (1996) complete discography cd
This song brings out a wave of emotions...love, hate, wanting, loneliness & a wish to have a time machine to take everything back and finish what we started...funny how music you love can bring so much pain😔💔
This takes me back to the mid-1980s, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills....staggers my mind to see how far I've gone from where I was raised. I'm sure this sense of nostalgia is felt by many who came of age in the 1980s. What a wild ride to come into adulthood - Less Than Zero was the reality.
I spent many an 80's weekend in Hollywood via Palm Springs. I MISS those days. I was a very different person back then. Hollywood has changed drastically as well. This song encapsulates that heady time.
Valley Girl Soundtrack 1983 Top 3 pick from this list for me, remember the industrial grey impression I got as a teen listening to this. The riff, devoid of fills, lets you imagine a cityscape, with forlorn love as the theme
One of the best songs of the 80's hands down....the lyrics were well thought out and the music was authentic..not so much synth and his voice - so strong and clear. They didn't get enough recognition but KROQ in LA was the GO-TO radio station that broke everyone that was then considered "ALTERNATIVE' annd they played the other Payolas songs....I listen to this now and I think, wow so powerful.
I remember seeing the Payolas singing this song in Calgary at the Max Bell Arena in 1982. The song wasn"t even on the radio yet, but I was singing it the next day and then the radio joined in . Good times ! Ticket was twelve dollars, general admission. Place rocked.
This song was on the 1983 "Valley Girl" soundtrack that starred Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman. Its my favorite soundtrack for a movie and this was my favorite song from it!!!!!

No, it could not be a hit today, precisely because it's good. The music industry, like the film industry, is going through a self inflicted imploding process.
@@robertthomas2601 exactly,it could not be a hit today because woke millennials would find some obscure person offended by something insignificant in the song or video
I feel like the late 70s through to the mid 80s were when the UK and the Commonwealth countries really came through with amazing music and damn near dominated the global music market.
Can I touch you to see if you're real? 'Cause in nothing there's something I feel Will my heart take the strain Or will it break down again? In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger Have I been sleeping for all these years? Is it magic that makes you appear? When you walked in the room I felt my heart race But knew I'd been fooled when I looked at your face In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I see a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I see a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger You've got the eyes of a stranger
Nothing quite like Running down the Trans Canada Highway is a 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco Listening to great 80's canadian music, in heat so bad you stick the the vinyl 80's car interiors.
@Mr and Mrs. Smith not to mention they only have one good song lo...im canadian we are dog shit in music, about equal as shit under the boots of american and british musak
This kind of Music is to be expected for a normal radio station in Canada, which I will miss in Germany.... Haha, had a VW Jetta MkIV in Toronto and moved it to Montreal for work and the stereo played all kinds of music, strange to my European ears.
love the Payolas. Actually I love that Reggae/New Wave/Ska sound of quite a few bands of the era. The Specials, Police, Madness, Tenant's... great music from the 80's that I can't seem to let go of.
Wow, I got here from Queensrche and was about to click off but listened a bit and some long-dead wires reconnected in my brain and I remembered this song. So I listened a bit more and got to thinking Geoff and the guys would rock this out.
Bob Rock & Paul Hyde from My Hometown BC Canada, PAYOLAS started out in the Punk scene in Victoria & along with other awesome Bands "DayGlo Abortions, NoMeansNo, Death Sentence, D.O.A., Subhumans, Pointed Sticks, House Of Commons etc etc... OFFSPRING kick ass, It was nice 2 see them salute these legends!!!
My name is Jamie, I would love to start the 80s all over again. The 1980s were a blast for playing great music. The 1980s were a great era for playing great music. I hope my eyes our not of a stranger. I am writing for Toronto, Ontario.
+harry Hand The 70,s were better though IMO ..i was born in 1976 but love the 70,s more than the 80s ''both were good though'' I am from Ireland but i love the early 80,s Canadian new wave bands ..
You know Jamie, if you can hire a venue, and get a DJ to play nothing but 80's all night. I bet you would have the best time of your life! You know we are never too old to re-start something bold!
I can recall going too cheap night at that Theatre age 10-18 ish, 1980- 88 ish we’d then Pop into Bennys Bagels after. The 80’s! The decade that Fun was the first priority in life and everything was affordable. Vancouver was a Amazing City back then.
holy smokes i loved this song. im 53 in 2023 and i am a genuine product of 80s new wave and punk. loved and lived every freekin minute of it. and yes i lived in "the valley" van Nuys and Sherman way.
Valley Girl... A Million Miles Away, Johnny Are You Queer? The Fanatic, Girls Like Me, Electric Avenue, Love My Way, Who Can It Be Now? Jukebox, I Melt With You, She Talks In Stereo.. And of course, Eyes Of A Stranger.. A lot of memorable tunes mixed in there... The 80's were pretty wild. I should know...
@@davidellis5141 tragic isn't it. A couple years back I came across a video of him - apparently pursuing a solo career perhaps, talking about the music hevwas into he took the viewer on a bit of a tour of his home studio and just had a very upbeat personality - you could tell he was excited about his musical future.

And before KROQ was Rock n rhythm KNAC 105.5 IN L.A.
Sheels1976 The old over-the-air Heavy Metal radio station KNAC 105.5 "If it's too loud, you're too old!" KROQ from my hometown. Those were the days!

☆☆☆BOB ROCK☆☆☆
The man that changed the shaping of the rock engineering approach and overall power of "The Loudness War"
Can I touch you to see if you're real?
'Cause in nothing there's something I feel
Will my heart take the strain
Or will it break down again?
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
Have I been sleeping for all these years?
Is it magic that makes you appear?
When you walked in the room I felt my heart race
But knew I'd been fooled when I looked at your face
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I sense a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
In your lips I see a danger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
You've got the eyes of a stranger
Nothing quite like Running down the Trans Canada Highway is a 1985 Volkswagen Scirocco Listening to great 80's canadian music, in heat so bad you stick the the vinyl 80's car interiors.

This kind of Music is to be expected for a normal radio station in Canada, which I will miss in Germany.... Haha, had a VW Jetta MkIV in Toronto and moved it to Montreal for work and the stereo played all kinds of music, strange to my European ears.
@Mr and Mrs. Smith Wait...I only know of Rush and Bryan Adams...
80s FOREVER!!!!!
I loved this 9n the valley girl soundtrack, rather I watched eagerly for the scenes with this tune. Way memorable.
Real music
From the movie “Valley girl “ with nick cage.
Amazing Soundtrack
love the Payolas. Actually I love that Reggae/New Wave/Ska sound of quite a few bands of the era. The Specials, Police, Madness, Tenant's... great music from the 80's that I can't seem to let go of.
Nah, and it won't let go of you! When we're old, we'll be rockin to it in our rockers @ the home, with our shades on, of course🙃😎
These guys sound like the Police
@@charleswoodhouse4754No. No they don't.
Ever tried DOE MAAR? A Dutch Ska band of that era.
I was only 11 years old when this song came out, but I've never not gotten chills hearing it. Love the reggae and oi influences.
Wow, I got here from Queensrche and was about to click off but listened a bit and some long-dead wires reconnected in my brain and I remembered this song. So I listened a bit more and got to thinking Geoff and the guys would rock this out.
Great song! It's on the soundtrack of Valley Girl🤘
Remember this song. Very police sounding. Great memories!
Ahhh valley girl ❤
His facial expressions are what I live for. It's that hot crazy 80's.
Those are the drugs.
I was thinking the same thing 😎
Cocaine and danger
I just meet the singer to this band he told me to put it on and everything
Bob Rock & Paul Hyde from My Hometown BC Canada, PAYOLAS started out in the Punk scene in Victoria & along with other awesome Bands "DayGlo Abortions, NoMeansNo, Death Sentence, D.O.A., Subhumans, Pointed Sticks, House Of Commons etc etc... OFFSPRING kick ass, It was nice 2 see them salute these legends!!!
My name is Jamie, I would love to start the 80s all over again. The 1980s were a blast for playing great music. The 1980s were a great era for playing great music. I hope my eyes our not of a stranger. I am writing for Toronto, Ontario.
+harry Hand The 70,s were better though IMO ..i was born in 1976 but love the 70,s more than the 80s ''both were good though'' I am from Ireland but i love the early 80,s Canadian new wave bands ..
Greetings from Toronto
You know Jamie, if you can hire a venue, and get a DJ to play nothing but 80's all night. I bet you would have the best time of your life! You know we are never too old to re-start something bold!
I'm from Vermont, used to listen to this on CHOM from Montreal.
I would take a Time Machine ..a 1 way trip...
When this sing came out I had it on my walkman..I went to France and ket everyone listen to it. You are welco e Europe. 😂
Fantastic, ****ing song. Brings back so many memories of my high school days, in the early 1980's.
Haunting. Perfect. The Payolas are off the chain. Totally dig this. Peace always, Generation X.
Awesome song 👍
Excellently employed in Miami Vice......beautiful.
so 80s so real awesome music from the last great decade mind bending missing that magical time in music history the 80s
Valley gurlz fer Lyfe 🎉🎉🎉
"Where is this love" is a Payolas song that needs the kind of views this great song gets.
I can recall going too cheap night at that Theatre age 10-18 ish, 1980- 88 ish we’d then Pop into Bennys Bagels after. The 80’s! The decade that Fun was the first priority in life and everything was affordable. Vancouver was a Amazing City back then.
holy smokes i loved this song. im 53 in 2023 and i am a genuine product of 80s new wave and punk. loved and lived every freekin minute of it. and yes i lived in "the valley" van Nuys and Sherman way.
Over 35 years and it's still AWESOME !!!!!!
It's almost 2021, and that theatre is still standing in Vancouver
I don't hear this song often...I always forget how f***ing good this song is
.
Valley Girl... A Million Miles Away, Johnny Are You Queer? The Fanatic, Girls Like Me, Electric Avenue, Love My Way, Who Can It Be Now? Jukebox, I Melt With You, She Talks In Stereo.. And of course, Eyes Of A Stranger.. A lot of memorable tunes mixed in there...
The 80's were pretty wild. I should know...
Soooo good
Just one of those songs that you just can't listen to once. The drummer is awesome!!!!!
wow just discovered this group. what a great song.
I love to find obscure songs that are actually good. First time hearing this and I'm hooked.
Thomas Webb search "3 strange days" by School of fish.
@@ms.lisamurphy269 Great song. The singer died very young of cancer.
@@ms.lisamurphy269 that song got lots of airtime when I was in college, so, not terribly obscure.
@@davidellis5141 tragic isn't it. A couple years back I came across a video of him - apparently pursuing a solo career perhaps, talking about the music hevwas into
he took the viewer on a bit of a tour of his home studio and just had a very upbeat personality - you could tell he was excited about his musical future. RIP Josh,💜
Some of The best obscure songs are from valley girl .sixteen candles and breakfast club
Love this song, so many great memories from a time life was so different.
This song this movie is one of my favorite it also reminds me of the love of my life Danny pantoja... totally....
Tiffany I will always love you you make me crazy cuz I'm so in love with you even if u think I have the eyes of a stranger
