Thank you so much for Watching
This was SUCH a great reaction to this song. You guys NAILED IT and really got the entire meaning of the song. Well done! I really like how Mel said both the man and the woman in the song are cocky -- that is such a good observation! 👏
Huge hit when it came out. Another example of why the 80s had some of the epic music in our life time
Shawn's reaction is absolutely brilliant he's loving the 80s classics. Well done guys.
I've heard this song so often but watching you getting into it is so much fun. Great reaction!
This song was popular when I was 16 or 17, brings back so many great memories of being a teenager! Thank you guys!
This was A Number one hit in The U.S.
Haven’t heard this song in years. Was waiting for the female to come in. Love your reaction.
(Keep Feeling) Fascination is my favorite from them.
Just what I was going to say.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you BOTH get into it! That you both try to get the feel of the music...
You can not go wrong with ANY 80’s hit is a win, REM ( Everybody hurts) Duran Duran, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany, Thompson twins
Human League were originally created by musicians Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh on keyboards/synthesizers with Philip Adrian Wright as Director of visuals making slides on a screen behind them. They wanted to hire vocalist Glenn Gregory but he was engaged elsewhere so they got Philip Oakey. They were very electronic and even though they released a few albums didn't sell that much. Later Oakey wanted to play a more commercial style and Ware/Marsh left to create Heaven 17 where they got Gregory as vocalist. Oakey got Joanna Catherell and Susan Ann Sulley on vocals, guitarist Jo Callis and keyboard player Ian Burden and they started creating hit after hit. Oakey and Catherell were a couple for several years. She's the dark haired woman
This song when I was little.. The brown hair girl is the first woman I ever dreamt about.. I waked up smiling :) I still love this band.. Thank you very much!
Would you believe I still have there records on vinyl along with my punk new wave new romantic records and still play them today .. this is the music I jump around too singing when having a drink . Brilliant sounds 👍🏻🇬🇧❤️
I've liked this song since it was released way back in 1981. Loving the Spinal Tap cap !
Love it, brilliant song choice! Wins everytime! Best wishes from Uk !Sonique
Its still so damned cool... And I mean that in the fact that its just COLD!! The mechanical nature of it just WORKS.
The group had already split in two before this song and the other ex members became heaven 17 and their song Temptation was another 80s winner.
That's Philip Oakey and Susan Sulley. The current line-up also includes Joanne Catherall. They have like half a dozen bigger hits but I can only remember Human - besides this one of course. Oakey did an album with Giorgio Moroder in '85 and it's got a good song called Together in Electric Dreams.
Oh yeah this was a number one hit in the USA back in 1982. A great song which you can easily understand the lyrics and story.
Brilliant 80's song, great reaction 😁
☆LONG LIVE THE 80'S☆
They have aot of great songs... I love "The Lebanon" and "Human" and "Facination".
And your girl MEEEeeeeeEEEllllLLLL! This was my favorite band in 1981 at age of 13. I loved every song on the album
You have absolutely gotta check out “Human” by The Human League. Written by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis; that song is a quiet storm CLASSIC.
i am laughing so hard with Shawn's dancing as he remains seated...another great reaction
The human League where one of my favorite group when growing up. Electro pop and then some. Fascination is really a great single but also Mirror Man,Lebanon, Love action and so many more. Happy innocent times.
Love, love LOVE your reaction to The HUMAN LEAGUE, Especially this tune, One of my FAVORITES!!
love yours channel love yours reaction one of the best songs from the big hits 80s
Just saw The Human League a week ago in concert supported by Tom Bailey - The Thompson Twins. Cracking!!! 😍
This was the second line up of the group. The first line up was made up of Phil Oakey the lead singer, Martin Ware and Ian Craig-Marsh who were the musicians , Adrian Wright they were very influential but didn’t have huge hits. The best for this line up was Being Boiled, they split up but had committed to a European tour so Phil and Adrian went out and recruited Susan Sulley and Joanne Catheral. They also got Jo Callis of Rizillos fame and Ian Burden. With Martin Rushent producing they had the hits.
It’s a catchy song you will sing in your head for days! Also try a flock of seagulls (I Ran ) it hit the airwaves and was everywhere! Give it a whirl
This channel is one of my favorites! I subbed not too long ago and I love binge watching your reactions!
I love watching you guys react ❤ such great energy
"Mirror Man" and "Love Action" are both also bangers ❤ Love x
Their other hit - Human. Great song too
DJs would always turn the volume off for the “Ohhhhohihoooo” part so everyone can sing it out. Great times! ❤️✌️
it was a must!!!
Please check out two of their other big hits "Human" and "Fascination".
Love the reaction! You guys are great!
Check out "Fascination" by them as well, and "Obsession" by a band called Animotion. 80s pop greatness.
Keep Feeling Fascination, Mirror Man and one of the coolest political songs of the 80s called The Lebanon are musts.
Always loved this song. Great reaction. Another great song with a similar topic is "A little Time" by The Beautiful South.
As a Hull lass, I approve of this comment
It great the Beautiful South are be suggested, my parents put it on every Sunday.
Dude your a natural in front of that camera your expressions are fantastic.not taking anything away from the sweet lady ya like bacon and eggs great together
Communards, Never can say goodbye an 80s classic.
Love Human League thanks for sharing. Much love 💘
*A very historically-significant song as it's regarded as the start of the Second British Invasion of UK music acts that would dominate the US music charts during the early-mid 1980s. The Second British Invasion was even more successful in the US than the first wave, which included the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, so that give you a good idea of the enormous success the second wave had in the 80s.*
Hey guys I hope you know that the guy that's singing is the guy that sung ELECTRIC DREAMS look it up ❤
This song was written about the movie "A Star is Born" , Kris Kristofferson found Barbra Striesand, a waitress and made her a star, listen to the song "Evergreen"
Another good song from them Is:. Human
The best part of this song has always been how the girl puts the guy in his place, very cute!
*Human League Songs: Fascination 1981, Love Action 1981, Mirror Man 1982, The Lebannon 1984, Human 1986*
I haven’t thought about Fascination in so long! Thank you so much for reminding me!
@@jacqueline4514 It's my favorite from them 🙂
That and Lebanon
This was the junior year homecoming theme song at my high school. The cheerleaders & a bunch of football players from our class danced & lip synced to this song. Good times!
Written & Produced by the super producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
Oooo, nice reaction! I think you guys, also, would enjoy their song Human!
What up S & M Squad ❤️ Live from Colorado as always . Try a band called Krokus & the song would be -Eat The Rich, pure 🔥 A great 80’s band
So much drama in this song. This was their first big hit. They continued to amaze with later hits Fascination, the Mirror Man, and H.uman
Obsession by Animotion!!! You’ll love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Try their song Fascination
Early 80s pop at it's finest love it..
Shawn and Mel - human league other hit is called Human can yall react?
When I hear this song it always to remind me of one of those stalker songs I know there's a few more out there I just can't think of their names but yeah it's kind of like come back to me you're going to regret it I said oh that's a stalker song but it's a nice song anyways I like the beat thanks for the reaction stay safe God bless bye
Every Breath you take by The Police was a huge stalker song - Sting admitted it.
What kind of mic/recoding equipment are you using? I swear it sound like people on the bus are yelling. I'm like wtf. Haha
Check out Fascination, Human and I E
Need Your Lovin'. The lead singer's makeup was on point.
Lots of great songs came out in 1982 to 1984 great
The Human League this is one of the best songs I ever heard from the eighties it's still as good today as it was when it was new in the eighties
You need to review (Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League.
By far, their best song!
Both sides in the song our equally messed up, both have huge ego's and are being incredibly selfish in their own way. He has a god complex, can't handle rejection and feels she owes him. She on the other hand believes regardless of him and whatever in roads he provided, was destined to be a star and now that she is; she wants to be on her own and doesn't need him.
He feels used and she feels like a possession.
Honestly I think they deserve each other, it seems they both equally, have their heads shoved up their own asses!
When this song came out i was like 8 or 9.. And I used to sing "Don't you Wallup me baby" don't you wallup me ohhh ohhhh..lol Why? Just sounded like that to me!!! Lol I was 8, had no idea what the song was about.. Lol
Just so you know - he’s talking about killing her. It’s a very dark song about a jilted lover turning into a stalker.
Jimi Lemons. Are you from the US? You seem to watch too much Hollywood rubbish. I don't think he is talking about killing her. He is most likely thinking that they both will regret it because because they still love each other.
@@p.millard557 Did you watch the video? Or do you just have a fixation with the U.S.? An elitist European superiority complex perhaps?
This song hit No.1 in most countries. I’m sure you will like ‘Human’ that was another song that top the charts in the US.
The entire Dare album tracked on the charts at some point. Might want to check out Fascination next.
Very good parallel with Ike and Tina. Well observed. Could not of given a better example.
The truth of THL isn't that far removed from this song (but without the nastiness!). Almost all members left and became Heaven 17, leaving Phil Oakey with the rights to the name. To avoid being sued for a lot of money by the tour promoter of an upcoming tour, Philip decided to recruit 2 female singers, and literally saw Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall dancing in a nightclub and asked them to join the tour.
One of them was only 17 (the other 18) so Phil had to ask her parents for permission for her to go. Weirdly, at the time they both had tickets to see THL on tour, and within a couple of weeks were part of the band!
The 3 of them have been the only permanent members of the band since then, and are joint business partners. Phil had an 8 year relationship with Joanne, and later a brief romance with Susan.
Although THL had only 3 top 30 hits in the US, they had many more in other parts of the world, including 14 in the UK.
They're still touring and making new music; I think they're on tour as I write this.
Phil Oakey and THL may be just about to enjoy renewed interest, as a cover of Phil's song with Giorgio Moroder, 'Together In Electric Dreams' is the soundtrack for the Christmas commercial for a major store chain in the UK, which usually guarantees success for the song, and a lot of interest in the original version.
"A little time" by the Beautiful South you will love it 😀
A music video from back when MTV was worth watching
This was a huge hit back in the day.
Great 80's classic! Please do a reaction video to "Love Overboard" by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
Fun reaction. Check out their song The Lebanon.
Liked your reactions. I would love to see your reaction to 'Human' by Human League, very different, more soulful style produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis but equally good, with a powerful story/message.
I love the Human League. You need to see their video Human.
Proper 80s classic
There is a remix of this 2021 and the bass line drops hard as a mug!!!!!
Dont you just love the 80s
This was a #1 song,along with Human
My daughter loves the human league she has every vinyl they have done she's only 20.think she was born in the wrong era..took her on an 80.s cruise for her 18th birthday the human league was on it and got them to sign her birthday card..
He realizes he loves her and needs her.
👍🏼
You might like a follow up single of theirs from 3 years later - "Louise". It's implied (but not confirmed) that this is a sequel song. It's also really good but has a very different feel it it :)
How I loved this song; I’m in High School
Again! 🤗
A very great song
React to Bushwick Bill "Everclear" its a true story he made into a song. I love both of your energy, I just subbed , your channel has huge potential!!!✌
I was like 13 or 14 when this came out and even then we were like WTF is with this guy. LMAO
It's a totally catchy Stalker song!
Love from Australia
80ieeeeeez❤️🔥

Check out early Human League - Being Boiled Granada TV 1978 with founding members Martyn Ware, Ian Craig Marsh and Phil Oakey. That is so cool. Also take a look at Heaven 17 - Temptation
Try "Fascination"....love the react!
The Human League are from the English City of Sheffield....as are Def Leopard and Pulp.
One of the first video's on MTV
You 2 look amazing!!! Great reaction as always. See u in the next live.
A story of love lost. She moved on. I thought of this song during the OJ Trial.
