I was a young wannabe filmmaker on my first attempt at directing a movie. It was the second day, going terribly, I have been up for two days straight and we just ended at 2am. Exasperated, I went to my car to relax before breaking down. This song came on, never heard it ever before, and it made my stress melt and filled me with such Joy. I sat there in pure euphoria. 17 years later it still brings me back to that wonderful moment.
Jesuschrist!!! Finally after 20 years I've got heard this song again. I didn't know the name and tried and tried to tell people the beat but they never knew. I was just a child the first time I heard it and some years later appears on a MTV prom. Today, 20 years later I got it.
acabo de escuchar una barra del mundial, del partido de Alemania Vs. Japón y recorde está canción, empecé a buscarla mediante mi silbido y la encontré!!!! Estoy llorando por mi hermosa infancia escuchando esta melodía y recordando a mi único hermano, una enciclopedia de la música pop rock en inglés y ahora ya no está, el covid se lo llevó hace dos años.
@@maesdiur lamento de lo tu hermano. Pero igual que a ti me pasó a mí, escuché esa canción cuando niño en una fiesta del colegio, 5to o 6to grado y luego en el 2003 en la radio. 6 hasta hace poco pude encontrarla y descargarla
Same here - an favorite of my early teenage years, 35 years ago. Found it again just now after finding "The Safety Dance" by the same band (another fond memory). Search for "The Safety Dance" if you haven't found it yet!
Gracias a Men without hats por darle a las tribunas de cada estadio el mejor tema que pueda existir, el tema más universal de las gradas y el que con más pasión se canta en cada estadio
I can remember when this song was number 1 in Austria.🇦🇹 Wonderful time, wonderful song. Still love it. Especially the keyboard. And the 🔔. And the clip. And the 🕺👯. And everything. Thanx! 🙏
Aahhh..... the 1980s, the greatest decade in human history. Iconic music, fashion, movies, technology and everything about life per se. Good times. Better days. Nostalgic. Long live Gen X! Greetings of peace and love from the Philippines.....
Junius Go yeah even now the movies and music of the 80s is continuously revived and based on like the Predator, Rambo, Terminator, Alien, Ghostbusters and many more!
I notice that a lot of 80's movies and TV shows are being remade because precisely that reason I think. Somewhere movies and shows began getting too serious and empty, and maybe it's nostalgia speaking, but I swear things were better in the 80's and early 90's. Happier, more carefree, more heart
Everything was much more expensive to do. Music videos, albums, etc were much more expensive to make. The level of artistry that you see and hear in the 1980's comes from people who were at the very top of their craft. I'll give you another example. A picture came in a roll of 20. Once you used your 20 pictures, you had to pay to get it developed and then pay for copies of the picture. So people were more selecting of what they would capture on film or magnetic tape.
A remake of the Safety Dance video with people dancing at a safe distance from each other would be even more appropriate... Even the lyrics fit the situation :o)
One of the finest and catchiest songs of the 80s that slipped through the cracks over time. Almost all retro radio stations either won't or can't play this song. Glad I found it here.
Just saw Ivan with the new backup band in Boston at the Totally Tubular Festival. What a exceptional thrill. They were every bit as good as when I saw them in 1985. Ivan is ageless!
@@MarieDunaway , Moderate your expectations from the other bands (no idea about The Tubes. They didn't play the Boston show). It's great to see the old bands and hear their hits, but (with the exception of Ivan) their voices are diminished.
@@breuers2gether998 That's the "big bonhomme" they talk about in the song. In Quebec, it'd be bonhomme de neige (snowman). Men Without Hats was a Canadian band. :)
Qué bárbaro , todos los vídeos que están acá son y fueron cántados cada una con su letra x todas las hinchadas argentinas ,algunos temas de los 80 jajaja me iso acordar cuando yo era chiquito y las cantaba ... Y ahora en 2020 ya se argentinizaron parcticamente todas las hinchadas del mundo ... Estos de adaptar canciones es muy nuestro muy argentino
Funny you should say that the world was perfect. I was in the Air Force and we were just waiting for the former USSR to "drop the bomb", as Alphaville sang. We came close to complete destruction of the world twice, in the 80's but yeah, they were still the best times of my life.

Ahh the 80's, back when women didn't mind being called "her, she, & ma'am, stewardess, bar maid, & waitress". In fact they were actually proud of being women. Nowadays its as if they are embarrassed about it & prefer being called "They" or "it".
Hahaha I always loved this song. I bought it on a Video CD. That's a format that never took off! But the song is so cool, still listen to it today, 2024.
Great 80s music is timeless and ageless. Of course my favorite is "Safety Dance", but this is a great tune and great to enjoy, remember the 80s video vibes that they actually played on MTV, hence music television, not what they do now. Great music, love it and still enjoying it now.
When I was in college there was this arcade in the mall called Aladdin’s Castle, they had this HUGE screened video jukebox, I was so addicted to this song/video!!! Anytime I was at the mall I’d have to stop there and watch this video several times! Lol… What great memories!!! For years I craved watching it again, thank goodness RUclips came along!!!
Two days ago, I woke up with this chorus in my head. I honestly don't remember the last time I heard this song, before today. It's interesting how you remember things, and when they randomly hit you.
Exactly, recently I woke up with Star Wars soundtrack from Rogue one playing in my head, and immediately found song on RUclips and started listening, completely unexpected and suddenly
You do that too 🤫. There are some people that wake up every morning singing a different song in their head. Sometimes a very obscure song. But every morning.
@@rapturekevin yeah. Sometimes I will have the same song in my head for days, and other days I will have a new song daily. I don't mind, as long as it's a song that I like
I was on my first trip overseas to Israel. We were in this hotel. I Turned on the radio and this came on. I leave Canada and I never expected to hear this
Yeah , lost 3 friends , my young sister and my dad, in 1980 I turned 13 and for the next 10 years life was awesome, free , fun at school, parties as a teenager, freedom from danger , death , anxiety and awesome friends...Now life has changed for the world
better start in the 70's. 1974 was maybe the most importent year in Rock & Pop. All the GREAT Bands released the best albums. A very long list of edgy works,..
+Michael Chen 1974 hmm? let's see...New Pink Floyd? Nope. New zep? nope. bowie did release diamond dogs in 74 but that album may very well be his worst of the 70s. let's see....Dylan? Nope. The Who? Nope. Roxey Music? Nope. What kind of 1974 have u been listening to exactly?
I had the melody for this rattling around in my brain for literally decades with no song or band to attach to it. I was starting to think I just imagined hearing it. Then one day it played when I was listening to an 80's station. It blew my mind.
I loved this song when I was 15...Now? I am a 46 year-old with a 6 year old...I totally appreciate this in a new way...This is like the first song by a contemporary band that started doing kid's stuff...Like, later, They Might Be Giants did. Or, Barenaked Ladies...
The thing is, there was a sincerity they had that a lot of those later bands lacked. So many of them had an undercurrent of cynicism to them. These guys meant it (I mean, if you could figure out what the hell they were saying). The name of their next album after this was "The Adventures of Women and Men Without Hate in the 21st Century", so they weren't joking around. Thing is, that becomes your death knell if you also live in a cynical world, which is what the 90s was (which is part of why, as another example, someone Seal isn't more popular than he is despite consistently producing solid music), but I saw these guys live a few years ago, and they're just as awesome as they've ever been. And yeah, I'm close to your age (turning 49 soon), so we have the same twin perspectives on this. Now I have kids who were my age when this came out and I get to introduce them to it, and maybe they'll think their Dad's taste in music isn't so bad after all. :-)
Every time I hear this song I am instantly transported back to 1987, driving down the road in my dad's '74 Impala, blasting the radio with the windows down!
Holy moly! A FE video from the 80s! I grew up with this song and probably haven't seen this video since I was a child! I even got to see Ivan at the Super Ex Cool FM concert in the 90s. Awesome!
2023 Y ESTA CANCIÓN SIGUE SIENDO BELLESIMA ES UNICA INIGUALABLE NO ME CANSARE DE ECHARLE FLORES LA NÚMERO UNO DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS VIVA 1987 CUANDO SALIO VIVA MEN WITHOUT HATS VIVA EL HIGH ENERGY 👍😎
I think it charted relatively high, if I recall. But IMO it is a better song than "Safety Dance," which was a massive hit. It's hard to predict those things!
I grew up in the 80's yet never saw this video until now. Seriously, so much fun! If those reading this have never listened to the whole album, seriously , it's a masterpiece! Just brilliant!
I'm actually in tears this brings me truest happiness like taking a ride back to good ole days full of great friends, music full of positive vibes... I haven't quit listening to 80 music and on Facebook stories i always play 80 for positive reaction here lately been grabbing some attention from younger ppl heck I'm trying to get them through BEST music and time of my life
+Bran Don todos estamos igual !! la encontramos muuucho tiempo despues de haberla escuchado en una disco , o en una cancha de futbol ... (en Argentina era muy popular !!)
Love it! This is the first time hearing this! I grew up with 50s, 60s and 70s music, by the time the 80s hit, I was deep in business and didn't have time for anything else. However, the last decade of great music (the 80s) is all new to me now in the twilight of my life and I'm loving it! The current crap being released, just isn't worth the time, the 80S Rocked!!!
Make sure you listen to some A-Ha albums. If it is all new to you, you will be amazed by Morten Harket's voice. He is aging now but still sounds good and they are releasing a brand new cd this month. Mostly considered a one-hit wonder because of how popular their first song, TAKE ON ME was, but this Norwegian trio has had 12 albums and unbelievable success around the world. They are my favorite and i really hope you get a chance to hear them!
I have this song and several others of their songs on a Cassette Tape, the old-school copied type! Unfortunately, my cassette player on my boombox no longer works. But at least I can still enjoy the songs here:)
I miss my childhood….Love the 80’s
Just seen them in concert. Great showman had the audience involved with his dance moves. Still rocking.
You saw Ivan, not the old MWH
Yes .he really connect with the audience.just saw him in concert.

And yeah, I'm close to your age (turning 49 soon), so we have the same twin perspectives on this. Now I have kids who were my age when this came out and I get to introduce them to it, and maybe they'll think their Dad's taste in music isn't so bad after all. :-)
I LOVE THIS SONG. It brings joy to my soul.
Here today June 2024! I miss the “80’s”
Whoah! For sure!
Now in 2050 if youtube is still around people are still going to be asking 😂
Me too. I can't believe I found this again. ❤❤❤
better than nowadays
Me too! Bring it alive listen as much as possible.
DATE WITH AN ANGEL BROUGHT ME HERE....WONDERFUL CLASSIC MOVIE OF THE 80'S...THIS SONG WAS PLAYED
Every time I hear this song I am instantly transported back to 1987, driving down the road in my dad's '74 Impala, blasting the radio with the windows down!
Lmao. 😂 I had a GOLD '72 Chevy Impala
Holy moly! A FE video from the 80s! I grew up with this song and probably haven't seen this video since I was a child! I even got to see Ivan at the Super Ex Cool FM concert in the 90s. Awesome!
Truth In Plane Sight ♥

Los grandes , irrepetibles y fantásticos 80. La mejor década de la historia de la humanidad.
esto solo puede ser dicho por un argento ... me equivoco ???
totalmente...los 80 fueron lo mejor que pudo haber pasado a la humanidad ,en cuanto a música se refiere ...un agradecido ser un ochentoso 🙂
@@franciscomolinos7302 un argentino no puede olvidar 1982 campeon. no se como un argentino podria creer que es la mejor decada de la humanidad.
Cuando un servidor era joven
What wonderful memories this song from the eighties brings back to me. And I realize how fast life goes by too!!!
I still don't understand why this wasn't a massive hit. Fun, silly, and a blast to sing along to.
I think it charted relatively high, if I recall. But IMO it is a better song than "Safety Dance," which was a massive hit. It's hard to predict those things!
This song was really popular in my college days, 1987. It was played a lot on MuchMusic which was always on the big screen in the student lounge.
I guess because we did not know back then if it was the J. Geil's Band, Daryl Hall, or John Mellencamp singing.
This song was in the top 20 on MTV for many weeks, but it never got much radio play.
Canadian bands in the 80s did not get much exposure.
Esta canción no la escuchaba desde la década de los 80 .muy buen tema.la estuve buscando por mucho tiempo hasta q la encontré hoy 22 de mayo del 2020.
Yo vengo de Grande Pa una serie argentina que en el primer capítulo se escuchó está canción
A mí me pasó lo mismo
Es una gran canción.
Antes no existía el Internet.....?
@@rodrigotrujillovilchis4143 no.
This truly deserved to be just as big a hit, if not bigger, than The Safety Dance. Also a song that I can totally imagine Devo performing.
Greetings from Detroit Mich! The 80's were the best!!!! 😎✝️🙏
Que gran recuerdo de esa banda ,! Vivirán por siempre en los corazones ochenteros y en las barras de fútbol argentino!!
riever pleii i oh river pleiii rive rpei riee rpleii oh vamos, river palte.. jajaaj que recuerdos
this song always cheers me up when I am depressed.
Thank you for creating such a nice song.
Something is very wrong. That is NOT the song I remember hearing
and how many ppl listen to the 80s music over and over lmao
I just got back from there concert and this was my favorite song they performed ❤
Just saw these guys live 30 years later... They are still out there and they still sound incredible live!
Not as much hair, though.
Cool!!
I forgot all about this one. I love this song! It epitomizes The 80’s
I grew up in the 80's yet never saw this video until now. Seriously, so much fun! If those reading this have never listened to the whole album, seriously , it's a masterpiece! Just brilliant!
J'ai passé mon adolescence avec ce groupe originaire de Montréal et je les écoute encore.
I'm in 2025 but this song takes me back to my teenage years! Such good memories! Now... It's time to make some more!! WOOHOO!! GO TEAM EARTH!! 😍🥰✌🏻❤️
I'm actually in tears this brings me truest happiness like taking a ride back to good ole days full of great friends, music full of positive vibes... I haven't quit listening to 80 music and on Facebook stories i always play 80 for positive reaction here lately been grabbing some attention from younger ppl heck I'm trying to get them through BEST music and time of my life
Gotta love 80s music out of Canada. 😊
Men Without Hats are phenomenal!!
~Dutch
I remember this song when my niece was born .... She turned 37 years old yesterday 😊
Es raro que tenga 6 Millones de visitas, y que en Argentina la mayoría cantamos esta canción 😎
Such a sweet little ditty, exactly what we need in hectic times like these!!😊🎵🎶🎼
Marina Rhett Sturgill yeah, I'm playing it daily at the moment, it's getting me through Brexit.
Busque esta canción toda mi vida. Me siento re feliz de encontrarla años despues jaja, saludos!!!
+Bran Don todos estamos igual
!! la encontramos muuucho tiempo despues de haberla escuchado en una disco , o en una cancha de futbol ... (en Argentina era muy popular !!)
toda mi vida la busque tambien. probre con varios nombres hasta q la dijeron en la radio...
¿Cómo que en una cancha de fútbol? - cuenta eso..
+Zaíd Díaz Aca en Argentina a la melodía de esa cancion se la canta en las canchas de futbol.
Lo buscaré por aquí, jejeje. Bien. Saludos.
Love it! This is the first time hearing this!
I grew up with 50s, 60s and 70s music, by the time the 80s hit, I was deep in business and didn't have time for anything else.
However, the last decade of great music (the 80s) is all new to me now in the twilight of my life and I'm loving it!
The current crap being released, just isn't worth the time, the 80S Rocked!!!
Make sure you listen to some A-Ha albums. If it is all new to you, you will be amazed by Morten Harket's voice. He is aging now but still sounds good and they are releasing a brand new cd this month. Mostly considered a one-hit wonder because of how popular their first song, TAKE ON ME was, but this Norwegian trio has had 12 albums and unbelievable success around the world. They are my favorite and i really hope you get a chance to hear them!

I love Ah Ha! Good choice!
👍
Excellent!
"Everytime i wonder where the world went wrong".so relevant for today! 1987 was tame compared to now.
Music from the 80's were the best and even their music videos I wish I had a time machine to go and revisit the 80's and meet myself as kid.
I have this song and several others of their songs on a Cassette Tape, the old-school copied type! Unfortunately, my cassette player on my boombox no longer works. But at least I can still enjoy the songs here:)
