If you don't know anything about the music of Pet Shop Boys, you should react to more videos from Pet Shop Boys like Suburbia, It's a Sin, What have I done to deserve this?, Always on my Mind, Heart, Domino Dancing, Left to my own Devices, Go West, Se a vida e, New York City Boy or All over the World. But the way, there are many versions of West End Girls, I recommend you the 10 " mix of West End Girls.
I’m amazed his voice is still the same as an older man. He got to be in his 70s. The band is still active after watching his concert on RUclips, singing the West End Girls song.
"Sometimes you're better off dead, there's a gun in your hand and it's pointed at your head, You think you're mad, too unstable, kicking in chairs and knocking down tables, in a restaurant in a West End town, call the police there's a madman around" - brilliant lyrics. It is like a time capsule watching videos from the 80s, Irina. Did you notice the sign for the movie Fletch starring Chevy Chase?
Pet Shop Boys have had some great hits over their time, and also done some good underground tracks. They even did a track where the verse lyrics make sense read from the last line, upwards. (One Thing Leads To Another)
Agreed. The mid-80s were peak music times for me as a young teen. Videos like this really take me back to those long-gone times with a bit of happy and also slightly sad nostalgia. This was a huge debut number 1 in the UK in January 1986 (nearly 40 years ago now!) The PSBs were all over the place until the end of the decade, racking up eleven more top 20 hits including the Christmas number 1 at the end of 1987 with their cover of "Always On My Mind" and two other number ones ("It's A Sin" and "Heart").
@@coldwhite4240I really think one can say that 1967-1996 was the pinnacle of pop and rock music. Its been down hill since then, with some exceptions. But the trend downwards is definately clear. Mostly due to DAWs and autotune. Its not an artform any more.
I was lucky to be a kid in the 80s. Internet started, cell phones, faxes, email. MTV played real music videos! The best movies and fashion, but the music! Everything came out new in the 80s! All new genres and sub genres of music....hard rock, heavy metal,speed/thrash metal, death metal, progressive rock,post modern punk, new wave, techno, electronica, raver, rap, gangsta rap, hip hop, the Seattle sound/grunge...all came out in the 80s!!! That will NEVER happen again!!
I am going through a bad time in Israel I am depressed so I’m on RUclips looking for something to take my mind off it. Forgot I subscribed to your channel
It is my understanding that the West End refers to West/Northwest of the River Thames; that the East End refers to the East/Southeast of the River Thames. It is also my understanding that the 'East End' references the previously more impoverished areas, whereas the 'West End' references what is considered to be the more 'Posh' part of the London area. Since after the song and video were released, there was apparently quite a bit of development of the 'East End' - such as Canary Wharf, etc.
Здравствуйте, я только что нашел вас и слушал все ваши реакции, и они мне очень понравились. Кстати, я пожилой американец, который тоже говорит по-русски.
These guys worked for the virgin Atlantic guy along time ago, doing ad spots in a magazine. One of the guys tells the big boss, I gotta make a try at music! And the rest is history!!
He is describing the difference between the West of London, the more privileged versus the East End so called lower class. Things have changed since Neil brought this song out thankfully. Love your comments.
Hi Irina This is not a comment on this video. I just want to talk to you. I watched some of your video reactions to my favorite female singers (personally I don't think men necessarily have to sing). If music hits you so hard that it brings tears to your eyes, then that's totally okay. This happens to me regularly too. Especially with this young lady named Aurora. If you don't want to cry, don't look for her on RUclips. Especially not for “Murder Song,” “The River,” or “The Seed.” Warm greetings from Germany
I love that you're paying attention to the ephemera of the times in these older videos; to me that was just how the world was at the time; I love that you are catching that it is not what things are like now...
Good reaction with some interesting comments. This record is now 38 yrs old and still sounds great. So much talent around in these times. Please could you consider doing a reaction to "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure , i think you'd love it.
Irina you tease us with the red lipstick 💄 then dont wear it for the review!! You look so gorgeous 😍 with it on!! But of course you are gorgeous all the time 💖💖💖 that ivory skin omg beautiful. Where was Monty for this one? Lol I miss him snoring in the background 😅😂
Hmmm, ...the cars,... the music was great but the cars,..?,....try starting a 1982 ford Capri on a cold damp morning , trust me you'll soon learn to love your electronic control unit and your direct fuel injection !
Irina you love cars from the 80's so how about reviewing some Cars from the 80s?? You will love this band start with "You Might Think" official video and go from there.
Suburbia and Let’s make lots of money are other hits they made but my personal favorite and very underrated song is called “It’s a sin” Maybe because i can relate to this song. Anyone who felt like the black sheep of the family can relate to that song
Hello Irina if you get a chance you should react to this song. Symphony of Europe - Jan Janko Močnic. There is russian in this song they have various European languages in the same song. It is a very good song.
Now compare this song of east end boys longing for west end girls to another hit in the US. Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" another 'oldie but goodie'. Uptown is really uptown Manhattan and comparable to London's West End. Pet Shop Boys is definitive 80's new wave british rock but Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl"'s theme is somewhat the same but the rocking is much harder. Take a listen. This was is big hit it's day.
I ask you this a few times but ill ask again i would love to know what you think of Albatross Russian Girl video i want to know what a real beautiful russian girl like you thinks of it and how much of it is true
Halloween soon, mayby some monster rock metal? Lordi is good choice during spooky season 🙂🇫🇮 'Devil is a loser' or 'Would you love a monsterman (2006 version)' ...both are fine looking videos.
I enjoyed your reaction. Not to criticize, but as a Russian, I am surprised you missed the line 'from Lake Geneva to the Finland Station' in this song, a reference to Lenin in 1917.
Hi!! It's nice to have different kind of reactions, focused on different things depending on the person. PSB was one of my favorite bands and I'm so happy because I'm 50 and I will see them for the first time live in november. West end Girls is a classic with a social message which is applicable everywhere. But above all was a real hit and put the PSB on the radio. Best regards from Chile!!
Think about your city or some you visited. In the Northern hemisphere, winds tend to blow Eastward. Durring industrialism, the smoke and smells blow East. The "East Side" is almost always left the "cheap end" and the West is posh. Learn history 👌
Soo.....is it like a law over there in Russia that all women there have to be incredibly gorgeous? Just asking. Because I've never seen a Russian woman who _wasn't_ supermodel stunning.
thank you for the question. I am against w*r, I think at the end of the day the wonderful people of Ukraine and Russians share a lot more of similarities then things that divide us, I have experienced loss on both sides, I really want it to end and let the healing, rebuilding begin

Hey irina if you want a great classic track to listen to check out Taylor Dayne 'tell it to my heart' you will love it.

Hes 68.
Love this debut single from PSBs; one of the most underrated and influential pop acts of all time.
What a group, what a decade the 1980s was
It took me years to figure out the first line of the chorus, "In a West End Town, a dead-end world..."😆
"Sometimes you're better off dead, there's a gun in your hand and it's pointed at your head, You think you're mad, too unstable, kicking in chairs and knocking down tables, in a restaurant in a West End town, call the police there's a madman around" - brilliant lyrics.

the synth bass on this is great!
Amazing, genius, the great hit 80, pure voyage..
I was in high school when this song came out in New Zealand. My girlfriend loves the band.
New Wave is such my jam, thanks for this. Great reactions :)
From 1986 and I was only 15. I loved this song in my teen years 🙂
Same. I was 12/13 in '86. Great memories 🍻
Actually, it was in -84
@@Mingus8thought it was earlier than 86😂

Mercedes and Jaguars were some of the best-looking cars from this time period.

The first 45 seconds puts you right back in the good ol' days. Seeing Fletch on the movie marquee is so very funny.
Thank you for sharing that . Love it
Wish I didn’t have a crush on this girl lol
Why? She's so attractive!
Здравствуйте, я только что нашел вас и слушал все ваши реакции, и они мне очень понравились. Кстати, я пожилой американец, который тоже говорит по-русски.
Not my kind of music but love how you danced to the beat always love your video’s. When is the next live? You haven’t done one in a while ❤
These guys worked for the virgin Atlantic guy along time ago, doing ad spots in a magazine. One of the guys tells the big boss, I gotta make a try at music! And the rest is history!!
When this song came out I was working in the west end!!
Forgot how much I like this song. Cool reaction. Very pretty eyes btw, they remind me of winter.
Love Pet Shop Boys!!!
I like watching your reactions and your a beautiful woman
Very good British style disco music from late 80s...
love it!
He is describing the difference between the West of London, the more privileged versus the East End so called lower class. Things have changed since Neil brought this song out thankfully. Love your comments.

"Can You Forgive Her" and "What Have I Done to Deserve This" are pretty ok also. And "Rent".

Epic track🇸🇪
i like your cute little dance to the song.
If you read this you are a west end girl..in a good way
Love your Lamborghini!!!!
What else can i say..................
Hello Irina if you get a chance you should react to this song.
Symphony of Europe - Jan Janko Močnic.
There is russian in this song they have various European languages in the same song. It is a very good song.
38 Special: A simple song 👍
these guys prolly never heard of Al Stewart *eye roll*
you are absolutely beautiful russian 😍😍😍🔥🔥👌
Wow you are so beautiful anyway Domino Dancing by Pet Shop Boys is also a good song
Red Sub Rising: Uninvited I think you'll like it 👍
Red Sun

please respond to the band Blue System. This band was very famous in Russia. The song Love Me on The Rocks was very famous there.
GOD I MISS THE 80'S
Ok coming

thank you for watching,, good point, I appreciate the constructive critiques
In this case you could replace the lyrics with Eastern Boys and Western Girls,
or Russian Boys and English girls
Maybe your right
You'd look cool in a Volkswagon Beetle. :)
I love you baby girl.💛
Russian stop-start-stop-start.. 🤯
Hi Irina,

If you can make it,please listen "Barcelona" from Freddy Mercury&Montserrat Caballe.Fantastic.
Why don't you have your instagram on here?
Dead End World....
East End boys
The car you need..is a '70 Hemi Barracuda...mebbe get a hubby with one...oh yea

This is your uncle or the server who forgot your water..
If someone says they can't help you from my generation then I'd fight for you

PSB was one of my favorite bands and I'm so happy because I'm 50 and I will see them for the first time live in november. West end Girls is a classic with a social message which is applicable everywhere. But above all was a real hit and put the PSB on the radio.

@@RussianReactionReviews I would love to visit Russia! The architecture has always fascinated me.
Hmmm. Maybe the worst pauses ever. Haha. Listen to the song. Hear it.
What your thoughts on the Ukraine? For or against?

This is getting sad
You should do a little research about the artist and music before you cut a video. It would help a lot in your "reaction".

Sorry but you stop to much, your not gonna get in trouble if you dont stop the song every 20 seconds!
