This song was directed to Billy Idols real sister who married her boyfriend after she got pregnant. Billy Idol disagreed with their decision and wrote this song to express his feelings
That’s what I’ve always heard. I vaguely remember hearing him say this in an interview when I was a little kid.
No its about a women a guy loves marrying someone else. Not hard to look up.
@@pauljohnson3524 in his book he does say it’s about his sister
I've heard it's about his sister.He disagreed with her marriage
Not really. Idol did have a sister who was getting married, but on an episode of VH1 Storytellers, he explained that his sister's wedding just gave him the idea for the song. In the song itself, "little sister" is simply slang for girlfriend. He is singing about a woman/girl he loves marrying someone else while he still loves her. This song was in the Wedding Singer, and later in the movie Idol shows up as himself to help Adam Sandler get together with Drew Barrymore. Funny stuff
There used to be a custom in the US regarding a daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock. Dad would get down the shotgun, go find the baby's father, and force him to marry the daughter. It was called a shotgun wedding. I think Billy is playing the older brother who's taking the dad's role. I like to imagine that he's just come back from a stint in prison, ready to straighten out his wayward sister. Creepy song, in the best way possible.
You are so so wrong........it is about going back on heroin........after being clean for so long, time to start again.
@@kamuzu Sorry dude but you are wrong. I just read (Song Facts ) the song is about Billy's girlfriend getting marred to some one else.
You’re both correct. Billy’s gf got married to someone else and she went back on heroin. Jk.
@@kamuzu Years ago, Chris got pregnant while in High School and not married. She and her family up and moved in one night, nobody knew where? To “Start Again”.
@@ronaldgines171 It's about his sister who was having a shotgun wedding after she was knocked up. He tried to talk her out of it. He was so sure that the marriage was going to fail. Thing is, it didn't. He admitted to this years and years after the song came out. (This was from a 90's interview.) His sister was still married to the father of the child at the time of the interview.
The fact that Billy Idol and Steve Stevens still deliver in 2022 speaks volumes.
Steve is underrated.
@@lazzy2day Everyone should hear his Flamenco guitar work at least once.
Steve was one of the first guitar players I really got into. Not just his talent, which he has excessive amounts of, but his on stage persona, and his ability to get sounds out of the instrument that nobody else can.
My band played at the HFSestival, an alt rock festival that used to be held in DC. IN 2005 Billy did his first show in almost 2 decades. I was worried thinking, "Oh man, this is going to be sad”. He was the headliner, but still. So, he comes out, no shirt, buff as fuck, HUGE grin on his face and they SLAYED us all! Kids who did not even know who he was were completely enraptured.
Steve is such a fantastic guitarist.
I remember when this came out on MTV and it was instantly a hit with everyone.
...I remember it on the radio, before MTV was out, but MTV certainly was a friend to Billy Idol...he had a look as well as a sound
He looked so badass with the spiky hair and the lip curl! Raymo67, this song came out in '82 and MTV went on the air in August of '81.
@@brettkenschaft4239 …I had not yet gotten cable. I first Billy Idol on the the FM radio
@@raymo6795 Oh, ok. Me too ☺️ Just pointing out that MTV was already a thing before this song was released.
It's a cool song with that driving beat, that bass riff, the guitar, usage of space, etc. And the band looked great in the video, they had the colourful look.
Instant classic!😁
Saw Billy in 2015 with the wife. Still on top of his game and his guitar player Steve Stevens totally shreds
Stevens' solo stuff is very good too!!!
Billy Idol is the epitome of cool. I don't think anybody else is as naturally cool as him, would love to see him live.
@@williamkilpatrick6821 Atomic Playboys was a cool album.
Steve Stevens is one of my fav Guitarists of all time, highly underrated but not by his peers🤘
I saw him play around 1992 at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles. He sounded great and had the trademark hair, black leather jacket, and snarl. Great performer, better than I expected!
Really should watch the "Official Video". You just have to see him perform. Billy was with the Punk band "Generation X", and carried some of that into his solo career.
I know, they do this all the time, think he wants to see the lyrics, oh well!
@@richardderrick3549 They might also be concerned that the stream will get blocked. Maybe official videos get blocked more.
I agree- some of these artists you just have to see the video because you are missing so much, many have the lyrics at the bottom and I have seen some other people that react to songs here put like a fog over them or put copyright across the video or something and they seem to have no problem getting things blocked.
@@NeonNights80 True, but everybody else is doing it, though I can see why they would be overseen more!
@@angelado3 It’s called applying a filter. That said, eventually, RUclips’s algorithms will also get pass the filters as well. It’s a matter of time when some artist like Tayler Swift sit down & catches someone reacting in a monetized live stream & reports it to RUclips or sue the RUclips creators directly for copyright infringement. RUclips reactioners/reactionists creators are taking a HUGE risk doing this during live streaming.
Billy always had that laid back swag in his singing. Classically unique
That's the Elvis influence
4.48 Lex actually does the Billy Idol face, Spot on as usual guys!! Love you x
We used to practise the Billy Idol face in front of the mirror - but Lex nailed it at once! The Upper lip thing! :D
4:49 - Not even looking at a video Lex knows exactly when Billy Idol would be giving that face!
"pimp vibe" What a spot on way to explain Billy Idol.
This song is about a forced wedding when a girl (Little Sister) is pregnant.
In the South We call that a shotgun wedding. ("hey, little Sister shotgun.")
Cool song.
Now when a couple get pregnant and then decide to get married on their own accord it can still be called a “shotgun marriage.”
It was actually about his sister, who "got in trouble" and had to get married to save her reputation. A shotgun wedding, so to speak.
I think I saw something that billy said the song wasn’t rlly about her or no ew feeling it was jus his sister was getting married so he based it on a girlfriend who is not a virgin so he is mocking her by saying white wedding
Billy Idol on the Rebel Yell Tour was peak rock and roll. Anyone who missed that will never understand what a bad ass performer he was in his prime. Everybody walked out of that show drenched in sweat from rockin' out. I'm not talking armpit stains - I'm talking everything in your wallet soaked through. He burned the place down and then pissed on the smoldering embers.
EYES WITHOUT A FACE AND GOT TO BE A LOVER! - CLASSIC BILLY
You forgot the "for" in "(Forgot) To Be A Lover"! Blasphemy!! ;)
Billy's guitarist Steve Stevens is one of the best in business, hes so smooth.
Brads leaning forward and snappin his fingers with a creepy ass smile is hysterically on point!!! Great reaction guys!!
Sometimes you just need to enjoy the song and not worry about some deep meaning. A lot of songs were like this in the 80’. Just enjoy the song.
In this episode of Brad & Lex, Idol's voice immediately causes Lex to give us an emphatic "oooh" right before she presents her happy healthy "pop bop" while Brad shares his signature "side to side sway".
I don't understand how Brad can be so intense with a black screen with no lyrics right then- LOL ???
Billy Idol has one of the sexiest voices that's ever been recorded.
This was one of Billy's biggest smashes another monster for him was 'Rebel Yell' and he's still rocking the house today!!!
You guys should react to…
Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face
🎸🤘
Billy Idol is true 80's icon, he delivered so many great songs 🎵 .
One of my favorite artists out of the 80s. Can’t help but sing this every time I hear it
This rocked back in '83 and it still rocks! One of my favorites.
Billy's had many hits, but I believe this to be his very top hit.
I saw Billy on the “Rebel Yell” tour and it was awesome! Great freaking show! He was one of the hottest artists from the ‘80s. Tons of great songs.
yep i seen him in new haven connecticut
Saw him in concert in sunrise FL when I was 11! It was my birthday present and it was awesome💜 Great performance!
You two are a joy to watch
Billy's got some rockers. Lord this tune lit early 80's MTV up.
Billy was one of the first "Punks" in an infamous band called London SS, but before the band was properly formed Billy and Tony James formed Generation X. The Clash and The Damned were also formed from members of London SS. Tony James later went on to help create the band Sigue Sigue Sputnik. You should check out their hit Love Missile F1-11 or 21st Century Boy. They are well, different lets say but very good.
Yeah, they kind of need to watch a video to see the patented Billy Idol "sneer". It's classic!
@@DavidSmith-pg1ob ha ha yip
@@DavidSmith-pg1ob This is true but not during live streaming tho….they risk getting copyright strikes during MONETIZED live streams.
I have often heard Billy referred to as "Punk". But his solo music with Steve Stevens sounds mainstream pop rock. "Dancing With Myself" might have a punk flavor, but all of his hits, of which there were many, are written for mass appeal, and commercially marketed to the extreme. The hair, the look, the leather, the lip, the young ladies slapping their asses (very hot) was all designed to sell albums....the very opposite of "Punk". I have heard of "Generation X" (my generation), but I do not recall MTV playing them. I think the band "Generation X", predates the use of the phrase used by those of us born in the mid 60s....But I think Billy is a Baby boomer
@@raymo6795 Punk is overused for many bands I think. Billy was part of the crowd at Sex Pistols early gigs that ended up in bands. Originally Punk was just a term for these bands that popped up and gave it a go even though none of them were musicians. The Image came later, partly through Malclom McLaren and Vivian Westwood who sold "Punk" clothes in their shop. Yeah I also thnk the look took over from the music, but we eneded up with Goth and Indie where the look arguably was part of the overall image. I'm Generation X as well :) I was born in 1971.
Steve Stevens is such a badass guitarist. When I used to listen to regular FM radio, anytime Billy Idol came on it always put a big smile on my face. Thanks you two.
Love the way she moves in rhythm and looks over, many times, at Mr. Reserved and waiting for him to explode into movement equal to beat, pace and rhythm of song(s). 😂 😂 😂
Bill Idol rocks ,he has such a smooth voice ,I remember back in high when these songs aired ,they hit hard!..😎
Great review &reaction you two!..👍👍💖
The video would amp up the dark vibe…watching Billy Idol is such a treat! His sneer is EVERYTHING!
Lex had the Billy Idol lip curl down.
YES!!!! I was looking for this comment! 🤣🤣
Billy Idol had a great voice. His guitar player Steve Stevens is phenomenal. They had some good songs.
Shot gun wedding. 🎸 This was considered post-punk/dance-punk/gothic rock back then, '80s Alternative rock.His videos were cool, too. Billy Idol was cool. Yall described the vibe 100% lol. Dont forget the spiky hair and boots.
In 1984 when I was17 I was lucky enough to briefly meet Billy Idol and I've never forgotten that moment! He's been my favorite artist since 1983 and I still love him! This song is just so awesome!
My favorite Billy Idol quote. "Wooooooow!"
Another one where you really need to watch the official video, SEEing him rather than just hearing him is part of the magic of his charisma! That Billy Idol lip curl alone is worth it!
Saw him in the early '80s in a small community college gym with the hop over the stage. He jumped onto his monitor and did one of his fist pumps, but was so drunk he fell flat on the stage with a thump. Great show.
Love the interaction between the two of you, so much fun to watch how much you guys truly enjoy each other’s company.
Hey, I love watching you guys! I’m very happy you’re getting to BILLY IDOL as he is one of my favorites. I’ve always been curious why nobody digs a little deeper into his catalogue though. He actually has some pretty amazing songs that go way beyond his normal 6/7 hits that everybody listens to.
BLUE HIGHWAY
WORLDS FORGOTTEN BOY
THE RIGHT WAY
GHOSTS IN MY GUITAR
SPEED
Are some of his best songs but there are so many more!
Yes, so many!! I love Blue Highway
Eyes Without A Face is a good slower track from him that you guys might like. Loving the videos, keep it up guys!
YES!
God shout, I love that song. Mony Mony is amazing too.
“Scratch my balls”. That’s always been a favourite.
"Dancing with myself" i think should be your next reaction song with Billy Idol. 80's rock in a nutshell 👍😀
very true
Yes! Tune! My favourite by him 🥰
I agree and would also love to see what they think of Eyes Without a Face
And I Don't need a gun
Great choice
I saw Billy Idol in concert in 1985 in Mesa, Arizona he sounds the same live to his album,. Great show no one is like Billy Idol...
Billy Idols' music had a 1950's rockabilly feel to it and I think it was just slang. I remember Elvis using "little sister" in some lyrics too.
The hair. The snarling lip. The great music. Billy.
Elvis and Billy had the best snarls.
Yeah! I always thought this was one of his best. With Rebel Yell, and Eyes Without a face.
Billy is great artist. Check out Cradle of Love, Eyes without a face, Dancing with myself. Just to name a few.
One of my favorite Idol songs.
Billy Idol reminds me of Bang Tango, which is the great and unfortumately underrated American rock band.
"Sweet Sixteen " is another great Billy Idol song. Very atmospheric
This and "Rebel Yell" are probably the two most popular of his but I like other songs better... I'd rather listen to "Eyes Without A Face", "Catch My Fall", "Blue Highway", and "Dancing With Myself" and a few others.
I like your videos because she is into the emotion of it and he is into the meaning of it! The 80s were it.
In "White Wedding" Billy Idol is singing hey little sister, what have you done, the song isn’t entirely about his actual sister Jane Broad. At the time of writing the song, his sister was getting married and was pregnant, which helped inspire the song, but it wasn’t all about her. “Sister” is more of a slang in England for girlfriend, similar to “Bae.”
I used to.love this man. The 80's was an amazing time for music...but Inlije more his 70's stiff with his band called Generation X
Your interactions halfway through the vid really made my day. I'm still laughing at the visual of "trench coat, pimp mode." Thanks
Billy idol - eyes without a face. Best song
Lex you totally got it!!! Brad....go with the flow.....Love you guys
He's not able to when it comes to music.
Steve Stevens most underrated guitar player ever
Billy Idol man…. One of my favorite rock acts of all time.
This was the break out hit for Billy Idol. This album and the follow up, Rebel Yell, are two of the greatest albums of all time. You can literally do reactions to every song on both albums, they are really that good.
Lex has Billy Idol's trademark lip curl down pat. Yeah Lex!
Fantastic bass work on this mega track 👍🏴
Another 80s gem that hints of a shotgun wedding: "Keep Your Hands To Yourself" by Georgia Satellite
It's really amazing Lex can pick up the vibes and demeanors of the singers and she doesn't really know them.
Lex, "pimp vibe" 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... awesome!!!!!
William Michael Albert Broad..aka Billy idol.. born in Stanmore London England 🇬🇧.. I remember being into the punk scene.. me and freinds used to buy any records we could..I remember generation x song King rocker.. it skint me because it came out in different sleeves different colour vinyl.. oh the early days of marketing.. such happy days.. 😊
Billy the Only Idol that matters
Lex: “They did a good job, that’s important”! Classic!
My favorite "Billy" song. "White" is all about the "virginity" of a White Wedding Dress, lol. Peace, Love!
I heard this in the mid 80s military 🪖 days this rocks ...magic and wild freedom 😜 in my mid 20s then ...my first Billy idol song ...the bomb.
These 2 kids cheer me up
Great guitar riffing through the whole song.
It's cool watching Brad home in absorbing those lyrics. You remind me of my son. I can bout see the gears working in your heads. 🤣✌️❤️
I remember listening to this song on a transistor radio when it first debuted and liked Billy Idol from then on.
Flesh For Fantasy is another must song to react to 🔥🔥
Great reaction. This song used to be on the radio all the time and people would dance to it at parties and so forth.
4:47 Lex cracks me up. That's why I love this channel.
Absolutely Billy favourite is “To be a lover”, best Billy-vibe you ever get. I can really recommend that song.
Thanks B&L for a great channel 🥳👍
The sneer Lex made at 4:49 is quite appropriate for a Billy Idol song. :)
You know when a record takes you RIGHT back to where you were ... but hope never to go back to - although half of you wishes you could - bad times/good times rolled into one ... playing this record DEAD loud to drown your sorrows ... Still LOVE Billy Idol records. BETTER THAN A PHOTOGRAPH for remembering times gone by.
Great rock song hands down.
The inspiration was originally from his actual sister getting married but "little sister" is slang for girlfriend...in this case an ex girlfriend getting married.
One of the "vital" Billy Idols of the 80's. Another good one is "Catch My Fall".
Billy knows people use this for a wedding song and finds it completely hilarious.
His 2014 album Kings and Queens is a total return to form, without pandering. Check out Postcard From the past or Whiskey and Pills, they sound like they were unreleased songs from the 80s days
I gotta flash back listening to this for the 1st time in a long time....7th grade...there was a kid with spikey bleached blonde hair....totally wasted....for all 1 or 2 days he attended school. This song used to play in high rotation on MTV...back when they played music videos.
I grew up on Billy Idol
I seen him in a closed bar venue in Brooklyn NY. Real hush hush stuff.
Awesome and no it wasn't L'amours rock club to anyone who remembers that place. To all who don't know L'amours y'all missed out on a fantastic rock venue back in the early 80s. Many huge bands played there before becoming big.
"It's a nice day, for a light sweater.
It's a nice day, for a CARDIGAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!"
hehe
When you sit and think about it, Billy Idol has so many hit songs.
Video…must do the video, eyes without a face is a must! Can I come hang out on your couch, I’ll bring the chips and dip…hahaha
Oh, Lex...GREAT lip snarl there!! Perfect Billy Idol vibe!
Great song and great reaction!...there was also a weird thought going around that the song alluded to cocaine- great job
In the 80s, if the word white was there, someone would always say "that means cocaine!" lol whether it made any sense at all!
@@mollyhall2954 very true lol
Western Rock Bill is truly the Genre Master of sound n melody🎵
Billy was cool and still is he appeared in Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer, and it was so fun to watch
Love you guys to check out the beautiful south.. Especially old red eyes is back
For years and years I assumed he used the phrase "little sister" as a generic way of addressing a female, and 99% of the time that would be right, but I recently learned that this was actually about his sister.
Billy Idol was my very first concert. It was pretty amazing. Another great choice guys.
Billy always sings like Jim Morrison if you listen closely. Great song!
she is feeling it, the describtion fits perfect
This song came out along with his song Eyes Without A Face. We thought it was Blue Oyster Cult at 1st lol.
