It was great , wasn't it? Even if I didn't grow up in the 80's era (which I did.....) it would still affect me emotionally because the songwriting was overall infinitely better than today's ignorant -sounding popular music.
BRILLIANT 🤩 Totally Agree Michael Singh👍👍 ….But do you know all the words? 🤔😁😉 I was a Goth/Punk .We all loved it. One of those RTDF, run to the dance floor , which got reduced to RDF, mad huh
@@fluffylynxpuss5043 As the years have gone by my recall is not what it used to be! Maybe something to do with all of the chemical experimentation that occurred in my youth.
At the time I felt it was a bit too minimalistic, and I prefer analog synth sounds (with a pulse and a more textured tone - more overtones, like you'd hear from bands like Simple Minds, Ultravox or New Order, or Tangerine Dream of course) - but forty years later I can certainly see the elegance and sense of style, both musically and visually. Phil is not a great singer but he has just the right attitude! :)
Como músico, las líneas de piano,bajo, sintetizador es alucinante. Es una obra maestra de principios de los 80. Dios bendiga a todas personas que vivieron los años 80s
SOUND………EXCELLENT HAIR AND CLOTHES….EXCELLENT ATTITUDE…..EXCELLENT Sure wish the 80’s never left….At 65 I still play ALL of this diverse music when bands had TALENT and ORIGINALITY.Not some internet,X,or Twitter no talents….
I just love cranking this song on a good 3000 watt car stereo. Every instrument comes out sounding crystal clear. Love human league. Just got back into them and im 56 years old.
Brilliant song, brilliant band, love their style, love the girls dancing, just doing their thing, whilst having a ball ! None of the silly robotic choreographed in synch dancing we see today.
The two beautiful girls really gave them an edge over their contemporaries. And they had tons of great songs. As big as they were, they should have been even bigger.
From the wikipedia page: """ They [the band] eventually came to the Crazy Daisy Nightclub on High Street, where Oakey spotted two girls dancing together on the dance floor, Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall. They were both 17-year-old students on a night out and neither had any experience singing or dancing professionally. With no preamble, Oakey asked both girls to join the tour as dancers and incidental vocalists. """ And I really like the fact that they took on bigger and bigger roles in the band as time went on.
Absolutely! They should have been more of a household name than what they were. I remember in the 90s when they released tell me when and people loving it and wondering who this band the human league were. Then finding out that they were a Yorkshire band that were pretty big in the 80s and had already had two US number ones. Should have been known already.
Have a word with yourself mate, I went to school with Suzanne Sully in the late 60's - early 70's at Charnock Hall infants & juniors. She then left to go to Ashleigh Secondary school instead of Thornbridge. I myself moved to Dronfield in '73. Suzanne always fancied herself then. Remember me from Charnock Suzanne?
This is a formidable track that has stood the test of time. At club volume it is still utter goosebumps to this day. Thank you human league, a touch of grace for sure. I have played this magical track since the 1980s, and will rightly continue to do so.
This is incredible! If it weren't for RUclips, what would happen to all of this incredible music? So glad it's here for the newer generations to enjoy!!
Saw them live at Sheffield City Hall in about 2006. Didn't really want to go but my mate was a huge fan and he didn't want to go alone. One of the best live shows I've ever seen. They were just superb. Still see Phil around town. Even in his sixties with no hair he still looks like a pop star. Nice guy by all accounts.
I was at school in 1981, and can tell you that after seeing them on TOTP the night before, everyone the next day was talking about his hair and make-up. So to all of us - they were the coolest shit ever. So glad to have been part of all that and lived through that moment.
Funny enough. I was at school. When I 1st saw the Human League on the TV. The Human League's single was. The Sound of the Crowd. And that was the night in question. When I simply fell in love with the Human League. And Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy. She looked so cute. Little did I know. That I would be lucky enough 2 get a chance 2 meet up with the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Queens Joanne Catherall ♥️ (6 times) Susan Sulley ♥️ (4times) and king Philip Oakey 2. Nor did I know that my favourite Human League Sweet ♥️ 4 ever. IE Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️. Will be partly responsible 4 the best night of my life ever.
I really love his hair, makeup, jacket, the girls dancing, that there’s three synth players, that he refers to himself in the third person, and that he sings that he lies a lot.
Hmm. I can't fault you for liking it or feeling a sense of nostalgia or being brought back to a specific time and place (I mean, I'm here too...). But fresh? I'd be hard pressed to think of a group from the era that sounds more dated than the Human League....
So many performers were pioners, not only with the looks and sound, but being individual. Lots think it's now thing, but they are so wrong. The 80's was the best era for music, which shows as so many artists are still performing and touring and so popular.
That,ll be Susan on the left And Joe on the right Trust me Susan on the left is still doing it ;) Very Fuckable.............................................
Listening to this in 2022 and it’s so refreshing! I’m so thankful for RUclips. It’s like a time portal, taking me back to my teen years! I have always loved The Human League. My 21 year old daughter loves them too!
Me and my best mate Jim had an amateur "synth duo". I was a Gary Numan fanatic and he was nuts about The Human League. This takes me right back to those days, sitting in his bedroom with this cranking out of a cassette player. Great memories :)
I had exactly the same hairstyle ( 100 % ) as Phil Oakey , just deep black , when i was 15 years old in1980 , and people asked me all the time , if the hairstyle didn't bother me , because i could only see with my right eye . 😊😄 But it didn't , and my bangs was always combed straight down over my left eye .😅 and i really liked/ like that hairstyle .😊
Lol Did she really??? Maybe 26 is different in some countries 🤔 . Everything comes around again, in some cases ,never went away as we’ve been playing our 80’s CD’s & Tapes all along,teaching kids what decent music was, including some 70’s DISCO, like The Whispers : ‘And the beat goes gone’, the iconic Bee Gee’s “Staying Alive”. Sister Sledge, THE Iconic Blondie, UB40, Go West, YES, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, Bad Manners, The Specials,The Cult, WHITESNAKE ,Def Leppard, even some of the Sex Pistols 🎸🎹🎺🎸💁♀️
@@fluffylynxpuss5043 well, I’m 18 and I like most of the bands you mentioned above especially The Whispers, Blondie, Fleetwood Mac and the Sex Pistols. I don’t think age is limited for taste in good music..😊
@@safeashouses211 why? None of that stuff had any longevity or serious sales, apart from the boy band, and that sort of thing as been around for decades.
Thank You ALbum88, WRAS, Atlanta. Without this college radio station, we might never have known about the Human League & the 1000 others that got me through the '80s....Hell, without 88, we might not have even known about the Athens, GA scene.
Still sounds fantastic 36 years later. This song just blew me away when it first came out, perfect next single after Sound of the Crowd (best sleeve ever). It sounded so different, I loved their "look", their Vogue inspired logo, everything. Brilliant.
I remember the 1st time that I saw the Human League on the TV. The Human League song. Was The sound of the crowd. And that was the night. That I simply fell in love with the Human League. and Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ epy. Little did I know. That I would be lucky enough 2 have a great opportunity 2 meet up with the 2 Human League Sweet ♥️ s IE Queens Joanne Catherall ♥️ and Susan Sulley ♥️ and king Philip Oakey 2. Nor did I know that u Queen Joanne Catherall Sweet ♥️. Will be partly responsible 4 the best night of my life ever. Even though the unexpected free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question wasn't planned. The only downside of the night in question. Is that. Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️ wasn't in the free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4. With me. I would of loved it. If Queen Joanne Catherall ♥️, Queen Susan Sulley ♥️ and king Philip Oakey 2 were in the free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth with me.
Human League was 80s to me. The look , sound, chemistry, and song writing. Phill 1 of the best singer/songwriters. Joanne & Susan voices and 2 of the sexiest ladies in music ever. Human League a league of the own. Its 2020 and still 1 of the best.
As someone who started producing synth music in the 80s and never stopped I must say that this is mainly the result of modern, computer-based production tools: they impose a particular workflow and thus discourage the way music was composed in the 80s. If we all returned to composing music with a bare keyboard or guitar, or a band, music would still be as melodic as it was in the day.
11 years old, South London. The worst of times, the best of times. Crying because it happened and it's gone. Take me back? I'll try it all again but this time without the mistakes. Except wisdom is no help when the heart is weak. Our memories aren't perfect but feelings, the qualia of youth beginning, of possibilities - these are eternal. Music takes us back and holds us in the comfortable embrace of a timeless, blameless past until the last chords die out and it's time to flip the vinyl. Play me one more time. Let me fade out, not broken nor forgotten.
Today is Valentine's Day...so I came here to share this video in a group of mine on FB...I interviewed these guyz a long time ago, when the album came out! I loved it then...I love it now...and all during these years! They dared! and we still *LOVE* it... Wishing you Love every day of the year, and not just today! Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock) LovePM
Back in the year when I was aged 15 and thought I knew everything, but I knew one thing for certain I loved this song back then and still do now!! I played this in an Amusement Arcade at the Filey Butlins Holiday Camp. What happened to Tracy my one week holiday romance.
They were one of the coolest and most innovative NEW WAVE bands of the 1980s that brought a fresh sound to the pop scene with their alluring beautiful synth sounds and their unique fantastic vocal harmonies...
+Baroqendmz+ Yeah, it is obvious that you have no comprehension of what being a fan of heavy music is about, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a foolish statement.
james smith: when it comes to guilty pleasures, you need to understand levels of pretentiousness, and "metal" is MORE pretentious than post punk electronic.
Absolutely loved the Human League during their heyday. This is a great trip down memory lane. Now I've been reminded of this tune, I've been on one of those endless RUclips spirals wasting (enjoying!) hours and hours! His hair is a Veronica Lake style, in case anyone is wondering!
Sid Siddique we were so cool back in the 80s and in objective honesty all cool and good things come from the 80s. I'm sure there'll be no argument on that
Went to see Elbow last Monday night and this got played before band came on.... I started to smile.... it still holds up today effortlessly. Brilliant track and band.
Was so happy to have been a teenager in the 1980s
I'd go back in a ❤ beat.
Same, we had the best music. Saying that, the people who were teenagers in the 60's would say they had the best music.
@@witness4Him And both would be right. Many teenagers today say the 80s was the best.
@@coloneljackmustardI'm 20 and can confirm
I was a babe in arms, I will be 40 on Tuesday 27th August lol
So glad i came of age in the 1980s❤
Me too.
Me too I was14.
The keyboards on this are insane. The layers and everything it’s just genius.
Yeah early synth cool sounds ❤
Absolutely brilliant
The joy of mono synths. It forces simplicity, melody, riffs and layering.
No es la canción más famosa, pero es una buena canción, todo está muy bien cuidado, gran canción
The synth sound, the hair, the make-up, the clothes, the dancing. BRING BACK THE 80s!
Best synt band that ever came out ever.never heard anything as good as them .
They are like the marilyn monroe of bands
100%
Can't bring them back. But enjoy it's music.
Can't bring them back. But enjoy the music.
You said it all
the power of 80's music is something fierce
It was great , wasn't it?

Bloody brilliant song - the 80’s were cool..
They were, I was there in my teens dancing to this.
Bloody well right!
Absolutely hands down my favourite Human League song. Just infectious, irresistible to dance to. Stone cold all time classic.

@@mariadaugbjerg6141 it was the last great decade before life became virtual.
In 1981, this sounded like music from another planet.
Agreed, 1981 was not quite ready for this stuff lol including me 🤫🤫🤫
Hey guys, what about his style? How did you guys receive his style, specially the hair? I was born in 80 and I'm a lover of the 80's and 90's :)
Pure simple music from the fantastic 80s !
I would argue that #GaryNuman got there first..
Sound espacial
Human league Sheffields finest! Just luv um! Fantastic music 👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤
One of the best examples of 80s electro-synth heaven. Human League were incomparable.

Masterpiece. The constant synth arp line in the back, and terrific bass. Then the synth stabs coming in.
In days of yore, young ladies wore dresses or skirts. I'm so glad that Sporty Spice or foreign cultures have had no influence whatsoever.

Let me fade out, not broken nor forgotten.

The blend on that asymmetrical haircut is flawless.
One of the best bands of the 80s
My fav human league track..excellent Phil and co
Bring back the freaking 80s man. These songs kick ass. Back in the day man this stuff to me was so cool. And im kinda a metal head.
New Wave perfection! What a brilliant 80's dance track this is! Can't help but move to this everytime!
Today is Valentine's Day...so I came here to share this video in a group of mine on FB...I interviewed these guyz a long time ago, when the album came out! I loved it then...I love it now...and all during these years! They dared! and we still *LOVE* it...
Wishing you Love every day of the year, and not just today!

Amazing songs from this band that remain classic and will never get old 🔥🔥🔥
Back in the year when I was aged 15 and thought I knew everything, but I knew one thing for certain I loved this song back then and still do now!! I played this in an Amusement Arcade at the Filey Butlins Holiday Camp. What happened to Tracy my one week holiday romance.
I've seen Human League countless times and never tire of seeing them
They were one of the coolest and most innovative NEW WAVE bands of the 1980s that brought a fresh sound to the pop scene with their alluring beautiful synth sounds and their unique fantastic vocal harmonies...
Another great song from the fantastic Dare album, never get tired of this!!
The absolute BEST Human League song
That keyboard is freaking awesome. 🕺
I call it this, THE POWER OF A SYNTHESIZER.
🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Does anyone else dig how one lady dances on the bass and the other lady dances on the melody and IT WORKS!!!😊
I hadnt noticed, thanks
Definitely their best single. So underrated
As a metal head I must confess that this band and Spandau Ballet are my two guilty pleasures in life.
james smith human league and blondie are my total faves but I love spandau ballet
actually the metal should be your guilty pleasure; no guilt in liking the brilliant essential HL
+Baroqendmz+ Yeah, it is obvious that you have no comprehension of what being a fan of heavy music is about, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a foolish statement.
Why guilty, THL are a very good band, they even covered the Priest's "Take On The World".... (it ain't great though)
james smith: when it comes to guilty pleasures, you need to understand levels of pretentiousness, and "metal" is MORE pretentious than post punk electronic.
Even sing this brilliant classic at work. I was in Sheffield on the way to Newcastle a few years ago. Love this song. E8. Uk 🇬🇧 💷
Absolutely loved the Human League during their heyday. This is a great trip down memory lane.
Now I've been reminded of this tune, I've been on one of those endless RUclips spirals wasting (enjoying!) hours and hours!
His hair is a Veronica Lake style, in case anyone is wondering!
Sid Siddique we were so cool back in the 80s and in objective honesty all cool and good things come from the 80s. I'm sure there'll be no argument on that
Me too!! 😊
I really need to sleep but I am on a 80s kick and I can't stop clicking on the next one Help it's 2:30am.
