1983 will always go down for my fav year in pop music, so many great songs from that year, an unusual nice warm summer in the uk as well, everything apart from unemployment was magical, music saved a lot of people, doubt we will ever see a year like 83 again, Young, love in the air, and a feel good emotion.
1983...The best year of my life...met my first real girlfriend....passed my driving test first attempt (no theory)..loved the music too...would go back to this year in a heartbeat and not change anything !!!
Brilliant tune not on Spotify why?? 1983 got to be the best time apart from if you worked down a mine! Had a fantastic time driving my 1963 Mini Cooper down to Bournemouth from Widnes!! Such a laugh no mobile phones. No speed cameras, no global warming, not care in the world just pure joy! and the girls were fit!!
two singles released by them on their label, then another elsewhere after they were dropped. Not enough songs for a best of. Highly unlikely to be any label's priority, regardless of how good the song is.
I dn't understand. I listen to this song more than 50 times a day. Also the "Sinhala version" of this song is in our country, (o ye ojaa ye) love this from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️❤️
and when performers' knickers were unmissable if you worked as a cameraman on there. See also 'upblouse' shots. That said it was pretty much one of three music shows in the UK at the time.
Suddenly Im back to long hot school summer holidays,riding miles on my BMX chasing as I thought then the love of my life.Strange how you remember theses things the older you get.
Always loved this song and have it in the car - not many people remember Jimmy the Hoover... Why not? This is what coloured the canvass on top of the pops ! I wish they had more fortune, but would love to know what they are all doing now... if you are out there, Derek et al, let us know 🙂
am 40 years old but do remember this when I was 2 and heard it last year for the first time in 36 years. I have a superb long term memory and not much childhood amnesia.😁
Same with me, although not a lot of people beleive me....i can remember crystal clear being on holiday with my parents in malta when i was just 2 years old..i still can to this day and i described it all to my parents who were gobsmaked... i often seem to know a year by song instantly..my mind must have always subcontiousley linked music with things that have happened each year in my life ...or perfumes take me back to a particular year or moment...
With a little bit of tinkering to bring the sound a bit more up to date this could probably work really well in a remixed version. So many ingredients in there that add to the overall sound and make it really catchy.
Just found this video a couple of days ago, I loved this song when it was first released. Hubby & me were creased up laughing at D-D’s dancing! I “googled” him & it turns out he worked at La Westwood’s shop in the Kings Road. Some guy online said he met D-D the first time the guy went to the HEAVEN discotheque….. Woke up this morning to news that La Westwood has passed away at the age of 81! Coincidence? 😮
@@glenshea1967 I thought his dancing was cool; it brought new meaning to the phrase “having a proper knees-up.” I tried to copy it and ended up kneeing someone in the groin.
The year I was 9, got diabetes, and watched my violent dad beat mom on a daily, the year my sister was born the day I was admitted to hospital, anger and sadness 😔
1:52 My Chum gets 3 seconds of cam time?! RIP Maddog. 2:40 More Maddog, considered one of the best "punk" drummers in Los Angeles at one time. They're just miming for teen TV here but this song was #1 in the UK.
I’m not gay but I liked Derek Dunbar’s style, including the hair! He is actually Scottish, and worked at Vivienne Westwoods fashion store in Kings Road before forming the band with several others, they got a lot of help from Malcolm McLaren who was best buds with Westwood. The second single Kill Me Kwik was well received by the critics but failed to chart and J the H (and Derek) disappeared from the radar after that. I heard he now lives in the Czech Republic (that was a couple of years ago.);He must be 64 now, hard to imagine!
Good song, but obviously mimed. You don't hear it on the finished show, but the director says "Roll track, cue the dancers, and ACTION!" Then the performers begin miming and pretending to play the instruments.

If it was the first time you dipped your wick then you will never forget it or her
Marty. Are you still with her
I'd say 2009 is my "forever year" if I could go back. Granted I was born in 1989, so I'm a bit younger.
Still ...
1983 was truly fantastic
1983. What a great year for music, so many good memories. Send me back ..
Memories, this reminds me of our good days with my mum.
Rip mum 😢. You loved this song, you would sing along

1983 was a notably hot summer, especially August

They were really fun and joyful, weren't they. Loved this but loved kill me kwik even more ❤
A masterpiece of innovative creativity and, you will not hear a better virtuoso xylophone solo.
Pure shite in other words
@@Roger_Ramjet you are listening to it though
The year I left school some off the best times off my life the eighties magical
From the year that I left school. A time when everything was simple,...a great summer song.
Scott. Same here mate. I left school when this song was out. Lot of good bands and takes me back to being a teenager again.

I started senior school this year remember this in the summer holidays, ☀️ the Kiora advet use to be the advert of 1983
Summer of 83 .just left school hot sunny days.Takes me back.

The 70s and 80s were the best
You are so right. Life is so shit now. I was eleven turning twelve when this came out. No men no money worries
Absolutely. I'd go back to that time in a heartbeat
Agree 100%...im still waiting for someone to hurry up and build a time capsule lol
Staple of every 89s various artists albums
This makes it into my summer Top Ten. Great Memories of the music & people at Buddies Nightclub, South Shields during early to mid-nineteen eighties.

Take me back to this era please..
Said me in 2022.😁🤡
Thats my Aunt Karla Duplantier on the drums!!
How is she? I'm a friend from back in the punk days in LA. My best to her!

Was she from Zambia
I’m sorry to hear about your aunts health. Tell her that her music brings back happy memories to many people. xx
Scott Clarke Thank you, she’s been immobile and unable to speak for about 15 years or longer but her eyes still light up for music for sure! 🥰
I love this song

The Guy singing is the uncle of someones brothers sisters brothers sisters kids....small world when you think.
A great song I even named my hoover Jimmy from wally noddah
Last time i heard this song when i was 5 years old 😱and i still remember.
Was in jukebox in Dieters bar In Elsen Heide near Paderborn.well played.
C'mon! Get this on Spotify, already!
Despite the dodgy dancing, this is a joyous track.
Gd. He had a dodgy dance but the dancers where fit.
@@glenshea1967 I thought his dancing was cool; it brought new meaning to the phrase “having a proper knees-up.” I tried to copy it and ended up kneeing someone in the groin.
What a pity this band didn't go on to be more successful.
In all fairness, their name implies a vacuum cleaner and music-wise, well, if this is their best effort....?
Think it was their only hit and it was great. Reminds me of a girl I got know. Awww.
Edmund. Are you still in contact with her?
Always reminds me of my cousin Breland
woh woh ee yeah yeah great lyrics
omg , im so old
Yep, i feel your pain....
Know how you feel.
And the worst thing is: you're three years older now!
Scrap that: make it five!
No way does this artist remotely look like how I envisioned all these years (38 years!). The exact opposite!
Oh, I just thought the same thing! And trying so hard to look send, looks anything but! Shame, good-looking man! XXX
That was supposed to read sexy, system changed it! XXX
Was Jimmy the Hoover related to Ronnie Dyson?
I think it was his uncle.
Zamrock pioneer (with The Peace) Flintio Chandia played bass on this one.
Oye ojaye ❤
Wow wow yea yea
At least Jimmy the hoover didn't suck. You're welcome.
He called himself Jimmy the Hoover because he wanted to become a household name.😀
Wonder if he has been double vaxed.
@@glenshea1967 Yes by J.Edgar Hoover.

Happy days….
I have searched and searched and this song is not available ANYWHERE! Not on iTunes, CD, or ANY 80's compilation. There must be some publishing issue.
Sri Lankans assemble here 😂❤

Srilankan version is in another level
Version??? Are you sure he paid the relevant compensation to the original musician and lyricist to make a version?😊
check out the Sri Lankan version called" Oye Ojaye"
halcyon days the 80s
The year I was 9, got diabetes, and watched my violent dad beat mom on a daily, the year my sister was born the day I was admitted to hospital, anger and sadness 😔
1:52 My Chum gets 3 seconds of cam time?! RIP Maddog. 2:40 More Maddog, considered one of the best "punk" drummers in Los Angeles at one time. They're just miming for teen TV here but this song was #1 in the UK.
wish i could find this on shazam or i tunes
oh yeh.. oja yehh..
Some seriously smart chicks dancing
Jimmy the hoover? yea well i have Henry the hoover
OYE OJAYE sri lanka song
Me to best year
Why is this song not on Spotify or Apple Music or anything haha
Just searched on Spotify not there grrrr
What is this type of music called? All along i thought it was an african song
Anyone know if this guy from South Africa or Zim? This has a real southern African vibe to it.
He is from Zambia and yeah it sounds a bit like Zambian pop of the time
❤️ 🇱🇰
F for the people who are trying to find this song
I have a bowl made out of this record
Jimmy The Hoover referring to cocaine I bet.. 😁
He's actually quite hot, dodgy hair aside. The things you only realise when you're an adult lol.
