This was the song nobody wanted to record. It was written with Simple Minds in mind, but they turned it down because they didn't want to record something they didn't write. Then Bryan Ferry turned it down, then Billy Idol turned it down (can you just imagine him singing this?), and on and on. Finally, Simple Minds relented and knocked out a quick recording, which of course became their biggest hit and arguably one of the most popular songs to come out of the 80s. From the soundtrack of (not arguably) the best movie to come out of the 80s.
This was both the intro and outro song for the '80s movie The Breakfast Club. It was the quintessential teen movie of the era. As counselors, I think you both would like the movie. As the movie opens, this song plays as we see a quote from David Bowie. "And these children that you spit upon as they try to change their world are immune to your consultations. They're quite aware of what they're going through." Great song coupled with a great movie. Thank you for reacting to this one.
Or more of an indictment of the public's music taste: The Smiths very rarely charted in the top 10 in the 1980s, and it wasn't because greater music was beating them out.
@@ChristopherStendeck What is funny about this song is that the lead singer didn't want to do this song since they didn't write it ! It was his wife Chrissie Hyndes of the Pretenders that talked him into doing it ! Billy Idol was supposed to be the singer on this but he didn't like it !
This song was made for the movie The Breakfast Club where teenagers from different social circles get stuck in saturday detention. They become friends, but will they greet each other on monday or will they ignore each other and stick with their other friends?
Great reaction. I am very familiar with this song since childhood. It’s very strange that while watching your reaction I thought to myself ‘this song could be covered in a variety of styles and still sound good. Acoustic, country, reggae, hard rock, etc. anything’. And then she says almost the same thing afterwards during the comments. Wow. It is a very clever and catchy song. I also noticed how strangely it is arranged for a western pop song. It starts off with an intro, then only 1 verse and 1 chorus. Then it goes straight into an extended bridge before repeating the INTRO then going into the 2nd verse/chorus. VERY clever and it reminds me of stuff The Beatles did with their songs.
March 24, 1984; the day that 5 completely different teenagers learned about social differences and became friends! The Breakfast Club is a must-watch movie!
Simple Minds had lots of hits (Alive And Kicking, Belfast Child, New Gold Dream, Waterfront, Promised You A Miracle, Sanctify Yourself, She's A River,...), but IMO their best stuff is on the Live In The City Of Lights album. The live versions of Oh Jungleland, Once Upon A Time, Ghostdancing and Book Of Brilliant Things are fantastic.
Thank you for doing this song...i love this band...love you guys reactions....thank you for doing my pick.. it is a great feel good song and that keyboard riff is to die for...if you liked this then try the song alive and kicking by this same band
I just love y’all love of music keep up the great work. And what the hell you have billion people in your land y’all are doing a good job you need more subscribers LOL.
If you were alive in the 80’s then you have heard this song. Or if you’ve ever watched The Breakfast Club which is one of the greatest 80’s movies there is.
As many have said a great song from a great movie " The Breakfast Club"! John Hughes wrote and/or directed many great movies in the 80's that were packed with great music! I recommend you watch his movies! Great stuff!
Those eyes are beautiful oh and k i r t i s aren't too bad either LOL she is gorgeous you're one lucky man hold her tight and it's a great reaction to a fantastic song by the way
Try these Songs from Simple Minds. New Gold Dream, Promise you a miracle, Alive and kicking, Speed your love, Waterfront, All the things she Said. You won't be disappointed.:-)
I consider you positive and insightful. Thank you again. Friend. You remind me of good music every viewing. A musical presence I am seeking Simple mindedly Blindly reaching. Heavy metal Guitar bleeding My theme music Crowd intriguing Heavy metal wail to singing Heavy metal song bringing The Pain of promise Of dubious lights Whose roars are overshadowed History's might. Heavy metal.
With all of the comments.. Would be awesome if you do a reacrion or comment on the movie The Breakfast Club..Have you ever thought about react/comment about a movie??... You can talk about it and just display the scenes you need to comment... With your background as counselors and psychological analysis, I beleive it would be fatastic!!!
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... Andrew Clark : ...and an athlete... Allison Reynolds : ...and a basket case... Claire Standish : ...a princess... John Bender : ...and a criminal. Brian Johnson : Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
Hmmm... fun to do reactions to covers that you like better than the originals! Blinded by the light, Mannfred Mann’s Earthband’s, cover of Bruce Springsteen’s Blinded by the Light....? Anyone? How about Yes’ cover of Paul Simon’s America?
I know your doubts BUT there is a great great cover from dont you. Original is great. And life of agony did a cover which i think is perfect. (Bit more rock)
Putting pop music into a movie can be risky. You can't include a song that's a hit while the movie is being made, because by the time production finishes and the movie is released, the song won't be a hit any longer. The movie will seem dated the first day of release. The best bet us to write and record new music in the style that's current, assuming you think that style will still be hot when the movie is released. In this case, they nailed it.

Nice reaction from you both great song great band from Scotland
Watch the Breakfast Club... it's a classic and both of you will like it. Regards.
In Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice: "Do it now!"
Haha...
One of my favorite John Hugh’s films ❤️
Don't, just listen to Simple Minds back catalogue instead.
Lead singer Jim Kerr was married to The Pretenders lead singer Chrissie Hynde from 1984 to 1990.
This was the song nobody wanted to record. It was written with Simple Minds in mind, but they turned it down because they didn't want to record something they didn't write.

Billy idol actually recorded a version of this song
@@dioneberts1715 yup. It's on his greatest hits album.
Apparently Billy Idol just "didn't get it" and thought the song and the movie wouldn't be a success. Oops!

John Hughes .made so many awesome movies I love 'Uncle Buck'
Simple minds alive and kicking
I loved your reaction, liked and subscribed.
This was an anthem in my high school and many others I'm sure in the U.S 1985
Yes. The breakfast club. Great movie.. also 16 candles. Classic.
Long Duck Dong
It says a lot about the abundance of great music in the 80s that this song peaked at number 7 in the UK.
@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd Glad to see someone appreciate it! ...and nice to see someone beating the drum for our ancient culture.
Or more of an indictment of the public's music taste: The Smiths very rarely charted in the top 10 in the 1980s, and it wasn't because greater music was beating them out.
This was #1 in the US for 3 weeks which was Simple Minds only #1.
@@xoxxobob61 Oh nice. I'm glad it got what it deserved somewhere.

Scottish band one of my favourite bands this came out when I was in my 20s in the 80s wow fantastic
I like the song and your reaction . Good energy !
Fun song from the 80s.
This song was made for the movie The Breakfast Club where teenagers from different social circles get stuck in saturday detention. They become friends, but will they greet each other on monday or will they ignore each other and stick with their other friends?
You guys give some of the best and most honest reactions to the most diverse music catalog I have ever seen love you guys keep up the great work!
I love this Drummers playing, people that dont play just wont understand how Technical it is.
To me this is the most iconic song of the 80's , thanks for the trip down memory lane. Love you 2!!
Yes and 'Just like Heaven' by The Cure
It's the bands energy, their Aura & their emotional passion/deliverance that Captures me with this song.

I love Simple Minds. Waterfront is my favourite of their songs. I hope you will listen to more of their music.
"Adorable" is a perfect description of their iconic music, great reaction
Simple Minds had lots of hits (Alive And Kicking, Belfast Child, New Gold Dream, Waterfront, Promised You A Miracle, Sanctify Yourself, She's A River,...), but IMO their best stuff is on the Live In The City Of Lights album. The live versions of Oh Jungleland, Once Upon A Time, Ghostdancing and Book Of Brilliant Things are fantastic.
I love that your patrons are requesting classic 80s New Wave songs. First, Echo and now Simple Minds. I saw them last year and they were great.
This song portrays a universal feeling, will you be desired or rejected? Everyone goes through that at least once in their lifetimes.
Thank you for doing this song...i love this band...love you guys reactions....thank you for doing my pick.. it is a great feel good song and that keyboard riff is to die for...if you liked this then try the song alive and kicking by this same band
I like this song so much. And the movie Break fast club too. 😊
You folks may want to get a good live version (1997 Night of the Proms) Rotterdam Netherlands of this song with full orchestration in the background.
You two make life beautiful
I just love y’all love of music keep up the great work. And what the hell you have billion people in your land y’all are doing a good job you need more subscribers LOL.
If you were alive in the 80’s then you have heard this song. Or if you’ve ever watched The Breakfast Club which is one of the greatest 80’s movies there is.
If I had to pick a song that captures the 80’s sound, this is it.
No other song takes me back to that time more than this one.
This chartopper from the 80's is a great goodbye song 🌀 Spot-on reaction Enoma - the song was made special by their great musicianship 💫
Whether you like to admit it or not. This song defined the 1980s. This song can’t be covered...I totally agree.
This song brings back so many memories, all great. And the movie, the Breakfast club. The best teen angst movie of the 80's
An absolute classic from the X Generation..............
As many have said a great song from a great movie " The Breakfast Club"! John Hughes wrote and/or directed many great movies in the 80's that were packed with great music! I recommend you watch his movies! Great stuff!
Those eyes are beautiful oh and k i r t i s aren't too bad either LOL she is gorgeous you're one lucky man hold her tight and it's a great reaction to a fantastic song by the way
All I can think of when listening to this song is a movie called The breakfast club. Great movie if you ever get a chance check it out. Rock on.
Great song. You are right. You are a perfect compliment to each other.
La la la, la la la... And I always JUMP to dance..
I love watching those reaction videos. Haha
🙋🏼♂️ it’s the closest I could find to one of the most iconic movie poses ever.... ✊
It's hard to not like this song!!!
I wonder if this band liked Bowie?
Recommend Simple Minds - She's A River - muscular, rousing, uplifting and with certain indian touches (surprisingly enough)
Simple Minds - Belfast child ...
Watch the movie Breakfast Club. Psychological interest movie and coming of age, in America, movie. Maybe anywhere!
Saludos cordiales desde Argentina para ustedes.espectacular
Another fun Simple Minds song is "Alive and Kicking."
Y'all should react to The Cars "Moving in Stereo" and then watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High! Lol
The Cars - Drive :)
I'm now off to rewatch "The Breakfast Club" movie again. Thanks!
Simple Minds..... From Glasgow Scotland 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
80s anthem
La la la la la la la la la la, classic!

Hi Enoma can you please react to Angelina Jordan Fly to the moon
Please react to Perfect kiss or true faith by New order. Both songs are very good.
now do “ In your eyes” by
Peter Gabriel
Scotland holds great secrets in music, Simple Minds, Hue & Cry, Texas, Travis, Wet Wet Wet to name but a few.

Watch the Breakfast Club.
The theme song of Generation X.

We are or I am learning so much from you WOW! I say so much stupid SHIT in front of my wife all the time , mostly about former lovers!
Sincerly yours the Breakfest Club.
The Breakfast Club 4 life!
