I was 6 and I remember my auntie taking me to the barbers for a skinhead because she knew how to antagonise my old man and they were all calling me haircut 100,how I remember this is beyond me but strangely I do.
Everything everything EVRYTHANG was so good in the 80s. The sheer choices of many different styles of music and all great. And you didn’t have to choose. Toss on something from Parachute, a Fiorucci accessory and hit the clubs. Rinse and Repeat. And Repeat There could never be anything else like it.
Alan Strom 6 months ago I echo most of the sentiments written in these Comments. As KILLING JOKE once said " 80's, I'm living in the 80's!!! " The best and greatest Decade in the history of the Universe. 4.5 Billion years of existence and some of us managed to be there at the right time
That makes me 436 then, LOL!!!!!! On a personal note, I was training with the TA at Ripon Barracks when Haircut 100 had this in the charts. They were, without doubt, some of the worst weeks of my life.
The Artful Todger songs are spiritual and have no age. they either help to build the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of hell. im not sure about this one.... i will have to listen to it a few more times, to be sure....
Maybe even more criminal is that "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" never hit the Top Forty in the U.S. at all. Both songs were better than their chart history would indicate.
@@jameswilson7790 Both songs got huge rotation on MTV, but I don’t recall either of them getting a lot of radio airplay. Everyone from that era knows these songs, but I guess they didn’t buy the records.
The 80's was the most musically diverse decade in my opinion. So many different sounds came out of that decade. I would give just about anything to return to the 80's.
Exactly. What everyone forgets-and all the music critics got wrong. Nothing sounded like anything else until the triple disease of Madogga the vile, Stop Aching Waterbrain and rap came along, sending the rest of the 80s steadliy sliding into a quagmire, from which there was no escape once the 90s dawned!
Same here! I was 16 that summer and had such a blast vacationing at Lake Havasu in Arizona. The ladies were rockin’ and so was the music 🙃 Now, I’m a cool 😎 gramps 👴🏼
I miss the 80s I miss thinking I have my whole life ahead of me I miss the innocents I miss that first grasp of independence I miss thinking I knew it all I miss that feeling of thinking about nothing but girls I miss the first kisses I miss falling in love for the first time I miss falling in love for the first time again a month later I miss never worrying about my health I miss the times when music moved me And I miss my youth
mark hamer : my daughter 19 years old loves the 80s ! Right now she’s into the atomic blond sound track - it’s classic 80s . Have you heard it ? We love 1st wave on serius XM with Richard blade this is the day 😂
I couldn't agree with you more, Mark Hamer. This great song along with so many other great hits from the '80s definitely sounds much better than a lot of the so-called music we hear today. The music we heard back in the days when "Love Plus One" by Haircut 💯 first came out sounds like music that was properly written, whereas today's pop music sounds more like a random collection of bits & pieces thrown together in just 5 minutes to meet an urgent deadline. Mark Hamer, you sound like you have great taste in music and you know great music when you hear it. Rock on, buddy!!😀🎸😃🎸
These dudes, man. Having so much fun. Smiling, dancing, enjoying the music! None of this serious, plaid-shirt wearing, beard-sporting, brooding, experimental, "I'm-a-musician" bollocks. This is nothing will ever surpass the 80s - fun, joy, splendid melodies, expertly-crafted singles.
Whoever said the eighties were awful obviously weren't there.Everthing about the eighties l loved. Even unemployment because l got to work in the USA for a while. And the Music will always be there for everyone to enjoy.
I used to play this for my daughter when she was very young and I would twirl her off the ground holding her wrists, the rest of her body flying as we were spinning. And now she's in her 20s and told me she wants this to be our father-daughter dance when she gets married.
In 1982 I would play this gem at my Fraternaties weekend bashes. The ladies just loved it and asked me to keep repeating Love Plus One..The 2nd story dance floor was actually shaking! Ahh great memories of being 21 in 1982...RR
And this sublime slice of lush pop was considered no so serious in its day. Imagine supposedly disposable pop sounding THIS GOOD. The 80s were peak pop - it doesn't get better than this. No one is this talented today. Six guys - bongos, sax, horns. and they were just kids. We were so lucky. What a great band.
Haircut. ❤ The 80s is everything that you want, all that you need. Peaceful times, great music, normal girls! 😂 If I had the time machine.... 🤔 The aiyaa aiyaa, he had no idea on lyrics
This is what I loved about the old MTV. Honestly, if it weren't for that channel, I probably never would have gotten the chance to hear bands like this and would have missed out on some great music and likewise, groups like Haircut 100 would not have gotten nearly as much exposure as they did. At least I got a chance to enjoy it when it was still awesome.
I consider myself extremely lucky to have been a kid in the 70's. ..a teenager in the 80's..and a 20something in the 90's...great music to be the soundtrack of my life. Now a dad in his 40's. .the soundtrack of my life is the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme song and Doc McStuffins' "Time for your Checkup" LOL. I'll gladly take it over the S*** called music today.
Hey Tripdaddy66......I too was in the same timeframe as you, just a few years older than you. I agree wholeheartly that them times were the best times for GREAT music and lyrics of the century. Today's music I just can't listen to anymore.
love it. Reminds me of 1982(?) I was on vacation in Guadalajra, Mexico. I was walking one sunny morning at this outdoor mall called Plaza del Sol. They were blasting this song on the mall speakers. Will always take me back to the place in time. that location. These memories will die only when I die. thanks
I almost entirely ignored this song when it was a ‘thing’, but now I totally appreciate the brilliance of this song,and especially Nick’s cheeky skills in front of the camera. Thank you, fellas 😊
Still remember seeing this for the first time as a 12-year-old on an afternoon video show (for those of us who didn't have MTV). It was such a fresh change for me both sonically and visually from the heavy long-haired hippy vibe of the 1970s. It and other music from this era really had a big impact on a young preppy kid. Felt like a new era, which in a way I suppose it was.
This and The Lotus Eaters First Picture of You were the sound track to my first love. I was in my late teens. She was blissfully unaware. I left home for the RAF, knowing full well I would never quite get over it. I'm 60 now, and I was right. I've never got over it. Love hurts.
My friend still giggles that I liked this song, when I go over to his house, he will loop this song for an hour, I was in the 80's back in the 80's he was punk.
+Lisa D. Oh god yeah! There's way more to it than that. This present era is caustic. It needs an enema. A release. "Social media" has replaced actually going out! I'm just glad I know the difference, because what passes for social anything these days isn't cutting it with me.
You are so right! Teenagers these days think being social revolves around cellphones which they are slaves to - without even realising it. They even text each other when they are in the same room! No smartphones, Facebook, twitter, etc was needed in the '80's, and we had even more fun!
This was absolutely one if my favorites. I miss the world and music of the 80's. I was so young. This one makes me have bittersweet memories. I can't comprehend being almost 64 in a month. Great music❤❤❤
I'll be 60 next year! When did THAT happen? I embraced all the years inbetween and I'm still having a laugh even now. I hope you have a great birthday Sharon. *hug*
I grew up surrounded with music. My parents were huge classical fans as well as Gilbert & Sullivan etc and they were involved with a church were they ran a lot of fellowship for young & teenagers etc so I was exposed to the music of people who were up to 10 to 15 years older . So I grew up with the 60’s & 70’s and come the 80’s I was 19 and lived through one of the most amazing decades of music the world has ever seen with so many amazing artists with the whole range of talents and personalities to the max. I am a life long lover and addict of good music and I have every record / cd I have ever bought over the years. The only original stuff that I had that I no longer have was my record collection of music bought from the “import” record stores in Sydney which were stolen after a break in which included all of Elton Johns record up to 1979 thankfully I eventually was able to buy them again but they were not the original pressings which is a bit of a bummer. Long live the music from the 80’s !!! 🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️
It's September 13, 2023, and this is the first time I've ever heard this song, and I'm now a huge fan of this music group. I want to hear more songs from these guys.
nah, nither band was ever overlooked, not if you were a teenager with access to MTV in the 1980's. But as far as history goes I get your meaning @@lancetranter5695
wasn't it just, no children no debts and still living at home till 86 when nan threw me out! 35 years later had 5 kids, 4 grandchildren, live on my own with a 6months old kitten and serious debts! to be 13!
The Good Old Days! Never thought I'd be saying that to music of the 80's 😮 Dam those were days my friend,we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance, forever and a day 😮
Then you don't buy the other albums and realize that you are underage and cannot enter into a contract legally, so you keep entering into contracts (their attorneys couldn't touch you).
I love 💕 you always and miss you 1984 ! The year I was 16 years old in high school 🏫 and feel in love 🥰 for the first time in my life. I still love ❤️ that awesome person.

I turned 60 this week...i was 20 when this came out...life goes by way too fast...make the best of it and don't let anyone get in your way.
Im almost 23, thank god i have a father that shared this kinda music with me. Nothing today compares to 80s rock.
i was 12 in 82....the early 80s were magical and dream like.....time flys too fast....i am scared now.....
Im 59. and can't for the life of me figure out why I love this song.
I was 6 and I remember my auntie taking me to the barbers for a skinhead because she knew how to antagonise my old man and they were all calling me haircut 100,how I remember this is beyond me but strangely I do.
60 two weeks ago ..wow i loved it ..all the lads around town were wearing fisherman jumpers and leg warmers....
80's. What time it was to be alive. I loved everything about it.
Me too! I haven't seen a decade since the 1980s.
Everything everything EVRYTHANG was so good in the 80s. The sheer choices of many different styles of music and all great. And you didn’t have to choose. Toss on something from Parachute, a Fiorucci accessory and hit the clubs. Rinse and Repeat. And Repeat
There could never be anything else like it.
62 here. It was great living in a city with vibrant new wave scene.
Me too but I was very young....still glad I was there though 💥❤️
Definitely true... The Best of Times... and... The Best of Times... music... hair... fashion.. clubs... 🔥
Who's loving the Plus One with me in 2024??
You are AWESOME!
Same!
I still love this song. It is really great!
Meeeeeeee i just cant help keep going back in time to were it was golden ❤❤❤❤
Yeah can’t beat it awesome
Yes.
One of the reasons why the 80s was and is still the best! Who agrees?👍
ABSOFRIGGINLUTELY!!
I was the 80's fo sho
I agree

I echo most of the sentiments written in these Comments.
As KILLING JOKE once said " 80's, I'm living in the 80's!!! "
The best and greatest Decade in the history of the Universe.
4.5 Billion years of existence and some of us managed to be there at the right time
Totally agree
Being 55 yrs old this song screams great times, carefree times. Pocket of happiness
What ? do you understand what this song is about.
This song was released in 1982, so, as of this writing, it is only 40 years old, not 55.
It was ALL good
If only we could turn back the hands of time…
Those days were the best. Music was melodious, innovative and joyful. Miss the days.
I'm a 46 yr old black man, when I put this on for my friends, they were like "wtf" is this, but after listening, the rest is history. ....lol
I tend to concur Gary
the drummer is black...thought that was so cool, theyre havin much fun
quality - Its cool to be so uncool brother
So you're now 50 Gary. I'll be 52 this year. You have good taste fella.
Gary Culp still a great track
I get a very sad nostalgic feeling in my stomach when I hear these beautiful songs of the 80s. Time went so fast.
Yes .. I do too 😊
I was born in 95, but grew up on this music because of my father, I get the same feeling.
It's going to slow down pretty quick
I hear ya. It sucks to age!
...and Thank God at least we still can hold on to those memories.
Such joy in 80s music. So glad I lived it.🙂❤
agree 100% we were lucky to live back then.
My early 20's was the defining era of my life and I still love it at 64!
Absolutely!
Brilliant 🎉❤
Yes!!
I don't care how long ago this was, at the time, it made us all feel happy, excited and sunny.
Iain Johnston , my fave song ever!! I'm English/ Thai...born in 68, 80s all the way!
Ah yes. '82/'83. First job. First car. First girlfriend. And songs like this to remember it all by.
Did they ever play anywhere live? Seems like a lot is going on in that song and it would be tough to play. Great song either way. 80's were priceless!
I agree Iain Johnston
It is as enjoyable now as then.
This song is 32 years old.
Nick Heyward must be up to haircut 435 by now.
Cut all the hairs!
That makes me 436 then, LOL!!!!!! On a personal note, I was training with the TA at Ripon Barracks when Haircut 100 had this in the charts. They were, without doubt, some of the worst weeks of my life.
Ah stop, I'm old!
The Artful Todger
songs are spiritual and have no age. they either help to build the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of hell. im not sure about this one.... i will have to listen to it a few more times, to be sure....
The Artful Dodger Is it the new rage to remind us that 80's songs are 30 something years old.
It was criminal that this wasn't a bigger hit in the USA (it stalled at #37) I bought a 45 and still have it.
Maybe even more criminal is that "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" never hit the Top Forty in the U.S. at all. Both songs were better than their chart history would indicate.
@@jameswilson7790 Both songs got huge rotation on MTV, but I don’t recall either of them getting a lot of radio airplay. Everyone from that era knows these songs, but I guess they didn’t buy the records.
@@juliuscepeda9655 I realize that. But I'm saying that history has rendered a bit different verdict on those two songs.
I loved this sing the very first time I heard it and still love it every time I hear it.
Think it was big in Canada but maybe be not
Nothing like the British beat - Haircut 100, Madness, the Jam, Style Council, Thompson Twins, what a time to grow up
The 80's was the most musically diverse decade in my opinion. So many different sounds came out of that decade. I would give just about anything to return to the 80's.
So True!
Though I would say the 70s were even more diverse! Hard Rock, Disco, Punk, New Wave...
Happier times .. .great music.
new wave!!!!! baby
Exactly. What everyone forgets-and all the music critics got wrong. Nothing sounded like anything else until the triple disease of Madogga the vile, Stop Aching Waterbrain and rap came along, sending the rest of the 80s steadliy sliding into a quagmire, from which there was no escape once the 90s dawned!
Summer of '82.. What I would give to live it all one more time!
I know.
Me too
Remember that summer lots of New Wave was hitting
Same here! I was 16 that summer and had such a blast vacationing at Lake Havasu in Arizona. The ladies were rockin’ and so was the music 🙃 Now, I’m a cool 😎 gramps 👴🏼
Me too my friend!
I miss the 80s
I miss thinking I have my whole life ahead of me
I miss the innocents
I miss that first grasp of independence
I miss thinking I knew it all
I miss that feeling of thinking about nothing but girls
I miss the first kisses
I miss falling in love for the first time
I miss falling in love for the first time again a month later
I miss never worrying about my health
I miss the times when music moved me
And
I miss my youth
the 1980s and 1960s-the centurys 2 best decades-though the 1950s are ok.
Im gonna cry
It went by extremely fast.
I miss my HAIR...
I miss feeling like the world was only going to get better.
So underrated
One of the best 80s Hits. What a bass line
Omg RIGHT?!?!?!?!!
Great comment right here.
Thank you
I was born in 1972 so was 10 when this came out and still love it today.
Happier times.
🎉🎉🎉🎉😊Shout out To all the 1972 Beautiful people out here!! 🙌
Me too ,shout out to these People!
Happier times says it all !
The 80s, I was single happy and driving a Corvette . Man things sure have changed. Ugh
Same here
I hope they play 80’s music in heaven
❤❤
They'll play Heaven17 for sure lol.
Same!
From your lips to God’s ears
If they don't, I will be in the wrong place!
Who’s still lovin this classic in 2024..?! 🥳🎷🎷
Me is. 👍
Have you heard the new single, The Unloved Plum? It's from the new album they're working on.Sounds a lot like Pelican West

@@georgewilliams4258 The Unloving Plum. Yes it's a great tune. When he first sings I think of Oasis.
This takes me back to the summer of 1982 when New Wave hit. Good time to be a kid
Good time to be in my early 20s and hitting the dance clubs to all of the fantastic funk, hip hop, New Wave, and dance music. Ah, those were the days.
1982 good year....
awesome time. i was 12 just getting into music like this. loved MTV
Ah 1982, the year I was born!
Awesome days 👌👍
I'm nearly 60. I play this video anytime I have a bad day. Always makes me happy! It's instantaneous!!!!
This is still better than 99 percent of the shit out there today.

These dudes, man. Having so much fun. Smiling, dancing, enjoying the music! None of this serious, plaid-shirt wearing, beard-sporting, brooding, experimental, "I'm-a-musician" bollocks. This is nothing will ever surpass the 80s - fun, joy, splendid melodies, expertly-crafted singles.
This was the beginning of MTV...in the early days it was so new you could be experimental
And they could all really play. Some became sessions players after they broke up.
So well said, Matt. Thank you.
Yeah like The Cure's Pornography album.
m g I have never seen a guitarist play a guitar that high before, it’s under his armpit.
Whoever said the eighties were awful obviously weren't there.Everthing about the eighties l loved. Even unemployment because l got to work in the USA for a while. And the Music will always be there for everyone to enjoy.
Totally agree Shane!
Mmm...govmt. cheese. If you don't remember the cheese, you weren't in the 80's.
The lead singer's facial expressions were so wonderfully awkward in this video.
Not awkward as much as cheeky, as in play along in a ridiculous video
I used to play this for my daughter when she was very young and I would twirl her off the ground holding her wrists, the rest of her body flying as we were spinning. And now she's in her 20s and told me she wants this to be our father-daughter dance when she gets married.
I was living in London in 1982 and the only tickets we get at one of the last minute booths was for a Haircut 100 concert. What a brilliant night.
This song makes me so happy. So happy I was a teen in the 80s!!!!

Great tune
This is such an infectious song. An early 80's gem of a video.
Another great song from the 80s. So much great music from that period. It's unbelievable. We were so lucky to have experienced it all.
The 80s had such great music! I really miss that time and how young I was back then, I'm now 56!
Indeed. Youth is wasted on the young, huh?
I will be 37 on May 22nd 2022 I was born in 1985 I love my 80s 90s and 00s.
Man, I miss the '80's...
the 80's ruled
Lefty Bass "what do you mean MTV had no reality shows or commercials?!"----the young dudes at my job
thats is the small faces
you have good taste
the 80's was interesting and we still had TOTP
Me too
Wish there was a time machine. I'd bail in 2 seconds.
Even at 60yrsold
This song brings me joy. Improves my mood in less than 3 minutes!
This song always had a hot summer day with the windows down on the open road kinda vibe for me. Still does.
right song , right song - wrong girl - at least i was still listening to the song after a year 🤣
Imagine this. There's a ride that can magically take you back to the early 80"s. But it's only a one-way ride. Would you go for it?
Yes I would and I'd invent Google, I mean Lougle
Like....yaaaaaa
Kenji yes if I could take a few people with me❤️
Wouldn't even have to think twice!
HELLLL YESSSSH!!!! Totally!
Haircut. ❤ The 80s is everything that you want, all that you need. Peaceful times, great music, normal girls! 😂 If I had the time machine.... 🤔 The aiyaa aiyaa, he had no idea on lyrics
can anyone please give me a ride back to the early 80s? anyone?
You'd have to hitch a ride in the DeLorean....remember "Back to the Future" also 1980's! LOL!
~steals the time machine from Back to the Future!~ LET'S GO PEOPLE! LOL!
I want to go back to....let's say from 1979- 1986.
wait for me
Anim Doug,falta poc.
I grew up in the 80's. Can't believe it took me 42 years to discover this song. Thank you XM "First Wave".
That is strange indeed, just wanted to check but did you know that man went to the moon ? I mean you may have missed it 😂.
I feel so old at 51 but boy I lived the 80's !!!!
lil 52
Im same age i remember it very well.
Yeah.....I'm right there with you!!! I turned 51 8/20/19!! But I keep working out, and singing!!
I didn't feel so old till my health turned. Would give anything to be able to dance the night through again.
I'm almost 58 now. This song makes me feel 20 again..... And I can live with that! Lol
I was 10 years old when I first heard this song. It still sounds as good as it always did. It never lost its touch
I was 13 months old when I first heard this song
Nothing better ever happened to music than the new wave in the 1980s. End of story. Listening to these awesome songs makes me feel young again.
And we never thought it would end. Just waited for the next new band to come along......and then.....no more.....tears down my face.
True enough
One of the most melodic songs ever created
This is what I loved about the old MTV. Honestly, if it weren't for that channel, I probably never would have gotten the chance to hear bands like this and would have missed out on some great music and likewise, groups like Haircut 100 would not have gotten nearly as much exposure as they did.

It is shite now
Still listening May 27, 2021! Thank God I was a teenager during the 1980's

trippdaddy66. .yeah same hete👍
Yep. The 80s are so underrated so as to seem as if they never really existed. The extant music proves differently, however.
nem36 Absolutely agree! I was born in '72! Feel like I had the best of both worlds growing up in those times.
Yeh 70's and 80's great music great times.
You have to give it to the brits brilliant music the world was a lot better than 🇮🇪

Don’t worry boomers, there are still kids out there that know good music!!!
😄👏
Not boomers. Generation X

What's a great band😊❤❤
Echoes of those beautiful sunlit days in the summer of 82 still ring loud in my soul still spinning this at 54
Happy song among many from the 80’s. Gen Z and Millenials should listen to this stuff and become happier.
Timeless classic.
Remember as if it was yesterday I wish I could turn the clock back 😊
Me too 😊
This song will forever have a place in my heart.
I am in my 60s and will be listening to 80s music throughout my 90s, if I get there.
Same here 🎸🎶🥁😌
Lol I was just thinking that today, we might all be on zimmer frames listening to eighties music.
Nick Haywood, blast from the past. Without doubt, the 80s were the best decade for music and living. Times were simple, people were easy going ❤
That sax harmony is just heavenly. There’s no other song like it.
love it. Reminds me of 1982(?) I was on vacation in Guadalajra, Mexico. I was walking one sunny morning at this outdoor mall called Plaza del Sol. They were blasting this song on the mall speakers. Will always take me back to the place in time. that location. These memories will die only when I die. thanks
nice
Lol I was only 11 and still remember his song and group
+Vladimir Alvarez I am 11 and this is my favorite song
+Jose Schmoe The Wonderful 80s !!!
It's almost as if Marcel Proust were in the room. ;)
Lots and lots of fun back then. Every day was a sunrise.
I couldn't have put it better. All that punk and new romantic nonsense was over and we were just being young and carefree in the warm sunshine.
divisioneight Yes you are so correct
beautiful analogy !!
Catchy great pop songs. This song is now 39 years old. I can still sing all the lyrics.
1982 i remember this when i was in high school.
YEAH !!!!!!! Take me Back there Please.
Nick was one of my biggest crush in the 80s. Time surely creeps upon us. Glad he's aging well :)
This song takes me back to the 80's and happier times . ..great era back then when bands had talent.
yes I like this, but I also like a lot of new stuff, sincerely 03 baby
Just saw them at the Capitol theatre in New York. They were fantastic! Electrified the audience!
One of my most favorite songs from the 80's, along with ABC's The Look Of Love. :)
OMG, yes. Or Be Near Me.❤
I almost entirely ignored this song when it was a ‘thing’, but now I totally appreciate the brilliance of this song,and especially Nick’s cheeky skills in front of the camera.
Thank you, fellas 😊
Still remember seeing this for the first time as a 12-year-old on an afternoon video show (for those of us who didn't have MTV). It was such a fresh change for me both sonically and visually from the heavy long-haired hippy vibe of the 1970s. It and other music from this era really had a big impact on a young preppy kid. Felt like a new era, which in a way I suppose it was.
This and The Lotus Eaters First Picture of You were the sound track to my first love. I was in my late teens. She was blissfully unaware. I left home for the RAF, knowing full well I would never quite get over it. I'm 60 now, and I was right. I've never got over it. Love hurts.
My friend still giggles that I liked this song, when I go over to his house, he will loop this song for an hour, I was in the 80's back in the 80's he was punk.
I'm a Punk, and I like this song.
The 80's were such a fun, carefree time. But maybe it's just me. I was in highschool then.
they were really the best of times I was clubbing and drive inn dancing women mates the best of times
It was! I lived through it too. So different than today. Smartphones? No. Facebook? Nope. But life felt so much alive.
***** Yes, maybe because people talked face to face? But I think there's more to it than just that.
+Lisa D. Oh god yeah! There's way more to it than that. This present era is caustic. It needs an enema. A release. "Social media" has replaced actually going out! I'm just glad I know the difference, because what passes for social anything these days isn't cutting it with me.
You are so right! Teenagers these days think being social revolves around cellphones which they are slaves to - without even realising it. They even text each other when they are in the same room! No smartphones, Facebook, twitter, etc was needed in the '80's, and we had even more fun!
Lovely, wonderful song and video. 80s, musically such an unbelievably eclectic and unique time never to be equaled or repeated, sadly.
This was absolutely one if my favorites. I miss the world and music of the 80's. I was so young. This one makes me have bittersweet memories. I can't comprehend being almost 64 in a month. Great music❤❤❤
I'll be 60 next year! When did THAT happen? I embraced all the years inbetween and I'm still having a laugh even now. I hope you have a great birthday Sharon. *hug*
I'm an 80's kid and I Love to run to this. Thank you Haircut 100 for making this amazing track; its part of my life.
One of the best hits out of the early 80's.....fantastic!!!
yes superb like everybody wants to rule the world , there are no songs today as good as these or close , though Pink is good , like her song Try
And don't forget"my every changing mood"
WHEN MTV WAS AMAZING!!!
definitely dear.
When they actually played music videos!!!!!!!
We didn't have our MTV until I was in college. I saw this well before that on HBO's little "Video Jukebox" filler.
When MTV showed videos
Everything But Music Channel.
I grew up surrounded with music. My parents were huge classical fans as well as Gilbert & Sullivan etc and they were involved with a church were they ran a lot of fellowship for young & teenagers etc so I was exposed to the music of people who were up to 10 to 15 years older . So I grew up with the 60’s & 70’s and come the 80’s I was 19 and lived through one of the most amazing decades of music the world has ever seen with so many amazing artists with the whole range of talents and personalities to the max. I am a life long lover and addict of good music and I have every record / cd I have ever bought over the years. The only original stuff that I had that I no longer have was my record collection of music bought from the “import” record stores in Sydney which were stolen after a break in which included all of Elton Johns record up to 1979 thankfully I eventually was able to buy them again but they were not the original pressings which is a bit of a bummer.
Long live the music from the 80’s !!!
🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️🇦🇺❤️
I would give anything to turn the clock back to the early 80s. The music was wonderful, I was fit, young and strong. Life was great.
Who is listening to this during the Coronas lock down in 2020!
Me
we all need a haircut soon.
Blue Horseshoe - do you love Anacott Steel?
Me! Just relaxing myself after a very hard and streesed day... I'm an essential worker. Only one day off every week
yaaay
I was stationed in what was then West Germany when this came out. Oh the happy times
It's September 13, 2023, and this is the first time I've ever heard this song, and I'm now a huge fan of this music group. I want to hear more songs from these guys.
The whole album has this vibe! 💃🏻 🎉
Research Nick Heyward---- He was /is lead singer of Haircut 100 and luckily still alive !
Another overlooked band (same era) is Bow wow wow 'Do you wanna hold me' check ✔️ it
nah, nither band was ever overlooked, not if you were a teenager with access to MTV in the 1980's. But as far as history goes I get your meaning @@lancetranter5695
@@lancetranter5695 bww was great and she's still beautiful!
After all these years I still love it..I pull it up every so often it just reminds me of how care free the 80' were
wasn't it just, no children
no debts and still living at home till 86 when nan threw me out! 35 years later had 5 kids, 4 grandchildren, live on my own with a 6months old kitten and serious debts! to be 13!
Siriusxm 33 1st Wave- time machine back. Saturday Night Safety Dance mix 5pm until 1am.
Rad dudes and dudettes.
Towards the end of the video when he looks up smirks and then right @ the camera smiles. He knows he has made a classic!
Damn right! I really miss the 80's😥
When Saturdays had a promise... This song is like that.
Classic 80’s brilliance, still have the original vinyl. God they were great times
I met Nick Heyward. So sweet and cute...I miss him/the 80s like crazy :(
I can't ever imagine being in a bad mood while listening to this song.
Nor I. I'd have to turn it off and wait for my mood to improve.
Impossible!
Agree!😉
The Good Old Days! Never thought I'd be saying that to music of the 80's 😮 Dam those were days my friend,we thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance, forever and a day 😮
Classic early 80's..Columbia House 13 albums for 1 cent
Never paying the penny tho...
Every time you move you can start over 👍🏼
Then you don't buy the other albums and realize that you are underage and cannot enter into a contract legally, so you keep entering into contracts (their attorneys couldn't touch you).
Haaaaa.... bringing back memories!
And the anticipation...waiting weeks for 'em to come in the mail!
PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO THE 80’S!!!!!! ❤️
This song still sounds great after all these years 💜🏴
The xylophone player in turtleneck sweater & high-waisted pleated trousers~ 😂
