The eighties were everything for me with practically a song for every moment. Roller skates, break dancing, Walkmans, spandex, neon, big hair, Miami Vice, etc. And we had MTV which exposed us to so many talented singers, bands and song writers. Then they came together to make Band Aid and Live Aid and Christmas Albums. Feel so fortunate to be born in a time where I got to hear the best across 3 decades of sound: 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Keeps me smiling and rocking to this day. ❤
OMG, did you mention Miami Vice?? Hot pink suit, Lamborghini, 9mm semiauto gun, Tubbs at my side, and a mix cassette of Genenis and Missing Persons. I just need to work on my 80's hair...
Can’t believe Dale(and the band) weren’t noted to be innovators to the music industry. Severely underrated music. Great memories of my older sisters listening to their cassettes
Pretty broad statement to say they weren’t known as innovators, but yeah… I gotta agree with you. This is absolute peak music of a well known genre, but not famous stuff at all by today’s standards
I remember her porn star status as being a drawback to the people, I mean the average folk of the day, it was a bit much, her having a garbage bag skirt ant fish bowls on her ta ta's..tags... lol I loved it tho , and the other cool kids did too
How many of us now in our 50's(or late 40's) look back upon songs like this and realize how we took it so for granted back in that era when there were so many incredible songs/bands. . . truly feel grateful to have been in my 20's during the 80's.
+NS9213 People of that age now will be saying the same thing just as our parents did before us so just imagine how awful music will be in the late 2040s early 2050s.
That's true! My entire teenage years were 1980-1986 and twenties were 1987-1989. I'm very biased because the 80s was indeed the best decade of music (not that the 50s, 60s, 70s and the 90s weren't good, they were but not the best, IMHO). :D
I love this song! I actually met the lead singer Dale Bozzio years ago in LA. My friend and I were shopping at a beach shop on Venice Beach and I saw her in the store. I instantly recognized her blond/pink hair. I went over and just told her I was a big fan and loved her music. She was extremely friendly and gracious and she spoke with my friend and I for about 10 minutes. She introduced us to her children who were with her. She told us about the upcoming plans the band had and what they have been up to. She was really cool and sweet. I didn’t expect her to be so chatty and friendly. I always appreciated that.
I remember watching this video on MTV!!!! Back in 82!!!!😊😁🙂😄😃 When my parents finally got cable TV with HBO!!!!! L.O.L.!!!!😂😂😂😂 I never thought the 80s would ever go away!!!! Such good times for me and the music was "Totally Awesome"!!!! Totally For sure!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I'm 51 years old and this song never gets old for me!!!! I love Missing Persons!!!! The Spring Session M album is a classic Pop New Wave Rock album!!!😃😃😃🙂🙂 P.S. point of trivial interest!!! If you re arrange the letters in Spring Session M it Spells out Missing Persons!!!!!😄😄😄😄🙂👍👍👍👍
definitely!.. I literally could not get it out of my head when they came out... I felt like I discovered a new kind of Future for Mankind...you know, totally freakin happy every minute .. it was the Fountain of Youth in my ears..and what a hottie! with such a unique sound.. I still only want to hear new and unique music at the age of 57.... Any one heard of the Minneapolis band called Hippocampus.. they are unique to me and classy, very fresh and diverse..I'm not advertising, and I don't even know if I spelled it correctly but check them out..maybe you will dig them..seen them at the Mn. state fair and was floored...maybe it was the Leinenkugels'

There is no era of music better than the 1980s. I am on social media for those 30 years of age and under and they listen to music from the 80's more often than you might believe.
this sounds absolute crap. CD preference then here: ruclips.net/video/Zt5WpNZj9QI/видео.html&ab_channel=MissingPersons-Topic or This is a delight ruclips.net/video/gw2dQrlZrQQ/видео.html&ab_channel=MY1VICE
I'm a total metalhead and NWOBHM fanatic myself but when I discovered Missing Persons, which wasn't until about '87, I became a big fan. The EP and first album are gold.
I remember early 80s, I was 11-14 and we lived in a valley (diamond bar) in California with no tv reception so we had to get basic cable, local channels only. Those old TV's would have the rotary knob for channels and a tuner knob. I discovered that if I went to channel 13 and kept turning the tuning knob, I got MTV! This is one of those videos
It was so much fun going to clubs back in the 80s, dancing all night to great bands and music. Thank you Missing Persons for all the wonderful memories.
In 1983 my girlfriend recorded this song on a cassette tape over and over on both sides and played it over and over that whole summer. I'm 60 now and don't know whatever became of Lisa, but in my mind the summer of 83 is this song.
I'm 62 and think this song is cool. Last week I called for an office visit by some of clients. They arrived early to find me at my old school drawing board, in my suit and tie, listening to this on my office stereo. We got along famously!
I miss the 1980's... A magical moment in time that I was very blessed to witness and to be a part of. I lived in Los Angeles when the Missing Persons made there debut.
Started the 80s as a high school student and ended it a college grad married with two kids. I remember listening to this song over and over since my destination was unknown. What a time to be alive.
@@billdavis6900My dad was born then too. I’ve always wanted to be born in 1969-1970, kinda mid way between my mom and dads birthday. Glad you guys got to experience such a rad time
The irony... Here I am on a Friday night having a few beers and playing my 'playlist' of 80's tunes, reminiscing of 'the good ole days'. I graduated high school in '79, and college in '83 and had my 'coming of age in the early 80's. And, like the song says: Life is so strange - destination unknown. When I listened to it 30 years ago I thought: hmmm, where will I end up, what will life be like? Now, 30 years later, life is good for me. My wife and I (college sweethearts) make good incomes, have a nice house, great kids, a happy life, etc. So now I'm sitting here with a few beers waiting for my 21 year old daughters (twins) to get home for the weekend from college (where I was when I heard this tune). And I wonder for them: life is so strange, destination unknown. I wonder where life will take them??? The irony...
Dale was a former Playboy Bunny at The Playboy Club in Boston during the mid 70's and posed for Hustler magazine in March 1979 and February 1980, appearing on both covers.
Les années 80, quelle vibration magique il y avait alors ! Beaucoup moins de vulgarité, et beaucoup plus de talent… / 80s years, what a magic vibration there was back then ! Really less vulgarity and really more talent...
Hard to believe..this came out 40yrs. Ago. 1982.I saw her perform this at a dive bar south of BOSTON. sadly...the place was nearly empty, I guess most folks don't know this band.It was around 2002. I am 61..still digging this. ;)
I am 62 yo,great band,1982 may be.and MTV,lots of drugs at the time,great fun things,sooooo much fun.80s and 90s music,EX,and just fun,great bands and music.
That song is 42 years old and just on the radio this morning on the way in the city. A 42 year old song back when this song came out would have been big band or swing music.
Missing Persons is one of the most successful and underrated bands of all time. I love their music and they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Missing Persons rules forever !
God you guys are so lucky to be alive during the 80s I wish I was one of you guys to got to experience the culture the music and the feeling I'm really sad I couldn't be apart of that I just had to be born in 1997 :(
Merica1776 It's a shame that music isn't such an important part of young people's lives like it was back in the 70's and 80's, and even the early 90's. I got to live through all the quantum leaps in youth culture, from glam to punk to rave and it was all kind of taken for granted. Every ten years or so a new thing took off and It's only now you can look back and see just how great it was! It looks like Grunge was the last big youth culture phenomenon as far as music was concerned. It seems like video game culture has taken over from music for the youth of today, more's the pity for us music fans! But at least there's RUclips where all the great music lives on! You should be thankful for that as we had nothing like that back in the day!
music is still pretty important to young people even though it hasn't evolved as much. also edm has been popular. but anyway i mean most your people still listen to music. but anyway theres been emotionally hip hop and edm since the mid 90s. i don't think music will ever not be popular, humans will always love melodies
The sound and visuals of a time so confusing and colorful. This band had virtuosos in it, and Dale was the perfect face of this strain of New Wave. What a fun song.
Somehow I lived through the '80's without hearing these guys' music , but then again I didn't have access to MTV growing up in those years. Love their sound , and so, so glad to finally make their acquaintance 😊
My name is Butch Weatherly from Kihei, Maui, Hawaii and I am proud to be listening to this song very, very loud on November 14th 2023. I wish peace and happiness to all who read this! Aloha!
One of the *BEST* 1980'S Songs! (There are SO many!!) This song had a special feeling about it that was relative to the time at hand. Plus, it was quirky, true and of it's time. Love this song SO MUCH!
I was a teen when this came out and I loved it! *New Wave was my life and revelation.* I thought that New Wave would last forever. Wishful thinking... 📻💙
When you look at Lady Gaga, smile to yourself knowingly cause it's all been done before, Dale Bozzio was ahead of her time definitely. A lot people don't realize that before Missing Persons, she & Terry Bozzio (now ex-spouse), were members of musicians who played with Frank Zappa (she was like a session musician, backup singer, from mid to late '70's). So she definitely had credentials, some of the most nuanced & refined despite the often zany satire of Zappa, he demanded nothing but the best from those who worked with him. Plus, Dale Bozzio had about the cutest petite figure on MTV back then, the ensemble she wore in "What are Words For" was an epic look.
You are right. Gaga is nothing new. To be Zappa you had to be on your game. I grew up with Warren Curacullo who also played with him. Zappa was a note by note master.
Missing Persons ROCK!!!!! Love all their music!! They are the best man!! With a bad ass super nice stereo system you can rock the hell out of this song. JL Audio, Fosgate, whatever, super-nice and crystal clear mids and highs and little bit of bass and it will be just like you are back in that time-warp man, vintage 80's concerts man to the core!! Most don't understand what good music is, and this is exactly what great music is man!! Timeless. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Dale's husband (at the time), Terry Bozzio is one of the greatest drummers of all time, and wrote or co-wrote every Missing Person's songs. He's the was the brain child of this great band.
When I was a little boy, back in the 70s, my mom told me to appreciate all the quality around me. Of course, I wasn't able to completely understand what she meant until I became much older. There is still quality out there, but you really have to dig through a lot of garbage to find it. Missing Persons is a shining gem of the times.
Robert Pickett. May I pass on a bit of wisdom to you You don't get older. You just live through another age. Remember your teen' age' years? Your shoes get older. Just know that people and animals do not become old - They live through the ages. It is 'THINGS' that become old. All the best and good luck ... And teach that to others who never learned it.
I think the 60's, 70's and 80's had this perfect recipe that may never exist again. It was a combination of just the right amount of technology combined with social revolution combined with the simple fact that kids were still learning instruments. This resulted in an explosion of the best music ever.
The early 80's had some of the best alternative music that laid the groundwork for later generations. I was young but can remember and love this music.
I moved from a catholic school to a public school where I was the new kid, this song was brand new, I remember staring out the bus window on my way to my first day of 7th grade with this song on the radio... never forget, all time favorite
When this came out I was in my early 20s and more into classic rock and soul, but after nearly 40 years now I enjoy this song as much as any other from that era...

And nobody gave a shit about what color you were!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved the 80's and 90's.

One huge thing about the 80s: We KNEW we had it great. None of us took it for granted.
The 80s: _Lived ‘em. Loved ‘em. Miss ‘em._
I took it for granted to be sure. I never thought the decline like this would ever happen.

She does seem like she would be approachable, nice to know that she actually is. Thanks for sharing that.
@@LordHolley you’re very welcome, yes she was great!

This is one of those songs that aged so incredibly well and sounds better with each passing year. A true classic.

You mean you don't like the dystopian future we are living in now? 🤔
Right! I will gladly give up today’s garbage especially today’s music fakebook , Netflix internet , all of it! To go back to the 80s!
I dunno the threat of nuclear winter, the fear of HIV, & Ray Gun's decimation of worker unions wasn't so great, though.
Who remembers the US Festival in California. 4 days of incredible bands and artists.
I remember! Glen Helen park in San Bernardino, memorial weekend ‘83.
I lived in Rialto CA. at the time, close to Kolb Jr. High. Could hear the music from there.

One of my all-time favorite songs.

I am 62 yo,great band,1982 may be.and MTV,lots of drugs at the time,great fun things,sooooo much fun.80s and 90s music,EX,and just fun,great bands and music.
Late Summer, early Fall 1982...good times!!!
YES. When my friends would got out dancing for retro 80s night, we always pick this song. Waiting to do that again. HANG IN THERE GUYS.
I still love this song after all these years.
As an 80’s kid… life is so strange. We had a great soundtrack.
One of the MOST underrated/overlooked bands of the era if not more so.
The 80s are awesome
this is a great album. Terry Bozio is an amazing drummer...he was so ahead of time in the early 80's
I've always liked missing persons she's so beautiful
NS9213 you are so right.thank you for reminding me that the 80s are by far the greatest era of music ever!!!
This has such a great 80's feel. Everytime I hear it it brings me back to wonderful times.
+Troy Owens I know what you mean. I am nearly 40 and like much of this sort of music.
One of the best songs to come out of the 80's, period!
That song is 42 years old and just on the radio this morning on the way in the city. A 42 year old song back when this song came out would have been big band or swing music.
Here in January 2021....Our Destination is Still Unknown and yes...."Life is so strange."
She was Lady Gaga about thirty years before her time!
Gaga should take some lessons!
Matt Converse don't even mention Dale Bozzio Lady Gaga in the same breath what are you stupid
no... GaGa was Bozzio 30 years after
yeah...but talented and real
Ha! I thought that too!
Missing Persons is one of the most successful and underrated bands of all time. I love their music and they should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Missing Persons rules forever !
This is as relevant today as it was back then, the 80S!
I love this song . I'm glad I've found it I love (1980's) music New Wave & Punk Rock stuff.
Man, this song takes me right back to the 80's. What a time ! Seems like a whole different lifetime ago.
You said it....that and life was so much better back then than nowv:/
God you guys are so lucky to be alive during the 80s I wish I was one of you guys to got to experience the culture the music and the feeling I'm really sad I couldn't be apart of that I just had to be born in 1997 :(
Merica1776 It's a shame that music isn't such an important part of young people's lives like it was back in the 70's and 80's, and even the early 90's. I got to live through all the quantum leaps in youth culture, from glam to punk to rave and it was all kind of taken for granted. Every ten years or so a new thing took off and It's only now you can look back and see just how great it was! It looks like Grunge was the last big youth culture phenomenon as far as music was concerned. It seems like video game culture has taken over from music for the youth of today, more's the pity for us music fans! But at least there's RUclips where all the great music lives on! You should be thankful for that as we had nothing like that back in the day!
Yea true ... But I think I could live without all this technology really I can it's would be better knowing I can hang out with friends better
music is still pretty important to young people even though it hasn't evolved as much. also edm has been popular. but anyway i mean most your people still listen to music. but anyway theres been emotionally hip hop and edm since the mid 90s. i don't think music will ever not be popular, humans will always love melodies
The sound and visuals of a time so confusing and colorful. This band had virtuosos in it, and Dale was the perfect face of this strain of New Wave. What a fun song.
Somehow I lived through the '80's without hearing these guys' music , but then again I didn't have access to MTV growing up in those years. Love their sound , and so, so glad to finally make their acquaintance 😊
Last seen them in Atlanta,New Years,Dale is 🔥, Great Singer,thank you.Ur the Best Bilismo,Chow Lio,from Galveston,ty
My name is Butch Weatherly from Kihei, Maui, Hawaii and I am proud to be listening to this song very, very loud on November 14th 2023. I wish peace and happiness to all who read this! Aloha!
Cheers from Hawaii Kai, Butch!
Cheers from Slovenia.....good taste is drifting around❤❤❤
Peace on, Butch. This is good. Music to me has always been best when it was unique. This is certainly that.
Very very loud is the only way to listen to this song! Cheers!
You'll love Mental Hopscotch!
One of the *BEST* 1980'S Songs! (There are SO many!!) This song had a special feeling about it that was relative to the time at hand. Plus, it was quirky, true and of it's time. Love this song SO MUCH!
She was Lady gaga of the eighties
This song is fucking legendary!
"Life is so strange." -- Missing Persons, still eerily prescient, prophetic and true to form.
I never took the talent of this band for granted. Their set at the US Festival was stellar.
I was at US '83. Saw Missing Persons there. Their set was perfect.
This is of course is back when MTV was great. I loved this video.
I was a teen when this came out and I loved it!
*New Wave was my life and revelation.* I thought
that New Wave would last forever. Wishful thinking...
📻💙
When you look at Lady Gaga, smile to yourself knowingly cause it's all been done before, Dale Bozzio was ahead of her time definitely. A lot people don't realize that before Missing Persons, she & Terry Bozzio (now ex-spouse), were members of musicians who played with Frank Zappa (she was like a session musician, backup singer, from mid to late '70's). So she definitely had credentials, some of the most nuanced & refined despite the often zany satire of Zappa, he demanded nothing but the best from those who worked with him.
Plus, Dale Bozzio had about the cutest petite figure on MTV back then, the ensemble she wore in "What are Words For" was an epic look.
Besides Dale and Terry the other original members were Warren Cucurullo and Patrick Ohearn also from Zappa's band!
If you weren't the real deal you couldn't play with Zappa. They all were. Warren was a local Brooklyn boy to me who did good.
You are right. Gaga is nothing new. To be Zappa you had to be on your game. I grew up with Warren Curacullo who also played with him. Zappa was a note by note master.
Yes
💯. THIS WAS 2 YEARS •BEFORE• MADONNA‼️‼️
Missing Persons ROCK!!!!! Love all their music!! They are the best man!! With a bad ass super nice stereo system you can rock the hell out of this song. JL Audio, Fosgate, whatever, super-nice and crystal clear mids and highs and little bit of bass and it will be just like you are back in that time-warp man, vintage 80's concerts man to the core!! Most don't understand what good music is, and this is exactly what great music is man!! Timeless. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
It is sad that some modern day losers do not even have a decent stereo system! I even have a fantastic ReVoX reel to reel hifi system. Hahah!
Thanks again to her for sharing this song with us all
Dale's husband (at the time), Terry Bozzio is one of the greatest drummers of all time, and wrote or co-wrote every Missing Person's songs. He's the was the brain child of this great band.
One of the few cassettes I still own.
I wonder if people that are in their 20's today will miss this time as much as we miss the 80's.
As someone in their 20s, prob not. I miss the 80s and I didn't even exist during that era.
When I was a little boy, back in the 70s, my mom told me to appreciate all the quality around me. Of course, I wasn't able to completely understand what she meant until I became much older. There is still quality out there, but you really have to dig through a lot of garbage to find it. Missing Persons is a shining gem of the times.
Robert Pickett.
May I pass on a bit of wisdom to you
You don't get older. You just live through another age.
Remember your teen' age' years?
Your shoes get older.
Just know that people and animals do not become old -
They live through the ages.
It is 'THINGS' that become old.
All the best and good luck ... And teach that to others who never learned it.
I think the 60's, 70's and 80's had this perfect recipe that may never exist again. It was a combination of just the right amount of technology combined with social revolution combined with the simple fact that kids were still learning instruments. This resulted in an explosion of the best music ever.
I miss the 80's. 56 yesrs old here and always would rather listen to 80 or 70's music.
I miss the 80s so much and this band they were so ahead of their time i was in love with dale what an era for music those times rocked
Spring Session M is an early 80's new wave masterpiece.
The name of the album is an anagram
love this song ..I love the 80's music.. I love her voice..
Man I always loved Missing Persons but revisitng 30+ years later its so much better than I even remember. They really put down some hits!!!!
The early 80's had some of the best alternative music that laid the groundwork for later generations. I was young but can remember and love this music.
The videos from this time were incredible. Early mtv was magic.
It's been over 30 years ago and I was young and happy. Life happened and I am old and happy. Music is coming back again.
80s music NEVER LEFT😃😕
If you listen to the lyrics this song is actually very deep with, yes, spiritual meaning. One of my all-time favorites.
I moved from a catholic school to a public school where I was the new kid, this song was brand new, I remember staring out the bus window on my way to my first day of 7th grade with this song on the radio... never forget, all time favorite
When this came out I was in my early 20s and more into classic rock and soul, but after nearly 40 years now I enjoy this song as much as any other from that era...
1980s sound. pretty timeless. vocals of the lady sensation.
Very under-appreciated song! This song is as good today as it it was back then!
2022 Missing Persons
100 percent "RELEVANT"
One of my favorites from back in the day when MTV used to play music videos that were fun to watch
