I did a tour with him and he produced a single of ours. Really top man, never acted the pop-star, never disrespected people. Great pianist, singer, and songwriter. Grossly undervalued.
i think the word 'underrated' is one of the most misused words in the comment section on youtube, specially for musicians. Anything is apparently underrated. I don't think it is underrated at all, you're just trying to say: I like it more than others do! Yeah, that's fine. Not anyone can like anything with the same amount of enthusiasm.
As a young, anxious, lad. Full of hope, fear, and confusion. This song truly spoke to me. So simple and yet so complex. Everytime I hear it, it's the 70's. No phone, no fridge, no clue. Born in 1965, 56 as I write and when I play this, my mum and dad are still alive, I'm still a virgin, and still living in thurmaston. I like to think that when you die, you can revisit any time period you want. If I could, I'd go back and wallow in my past. Funny how some songs truly strike a chord. This song means so much to me and the lad I was.
Lifetime virginity is actually a badge of honour. Save it for when you find a girl who is worth it - and if you go your whole life without finding her take heart in the fact that you waited. Don't you know that it's different for girls?
100% with you, I know what you mean. Early '80, I'm 12, sat with my transistor radio sitting by the bedroom air vent to keep warm and mum and dad are back with me - sat downstairs in front of the TV. This tune and Steppin' Out are so perfect.

Je n'oublierai jamais le show de Joe Jackson 🇬🇧 que j'avais vu il y a quelques années :un grand moment de douceur,de subtilité.Un show de qualité pour un artiste à la sensibilité unique.😘😘😘😘
Oh yes! Heard this on the radio at work last night just stopped me in my tracks man!! Instantly transported back to being 16 years old memories came flooding back of youth & innocence quite unbelievable what music can do to you really man really!!! Wonderful
Hands up who remembers, what a breath of fresh air Joe Jackson was when his music first came out? So good, and yes, criminally under-rated. Thank You Mr. Jackson.
Breath of fresh air is right. Stripped down yet there is a sense of open space about the song. Nothing else needed but good bass, smart lyrics and a killer melody.
Had to scan RUclips to check this was a legit comment. Found the video, and came away with a huge grin on my face. It’s lovely when you hear favourite artists and then a brilliant shock when one of them has actually covered a favourite of the other you would never have imagined.
Me, dreadfully underrated and underappreciated. This guy was the highlight of the 80s, so different from the synth pop rubbish which got all the press. His only crime was he wasn't 'pretty' enough for the MTV audience. Bloody shame.
I first heard this song in 1979 when I was 11years old, Joe Jackson is so talented I love his music. He has such a unique voice I can't believe this song is over 40 years old.😀😀
I was born in 1979. But I heard this on repeats of TOTP some years back and I love his music. Can't understand why he isn't as popular as other musicians. Very underrated.
Still stands up well ( like Shakespeare), in 2020...One of those eternal problems, that he recognized...The human condition....Plus a great melody/sound ...
Chris its some thing you hear and it goes straight to your heart and soul ,, Decades on you still have the same feelings , joe is a complete genius in every aspect who deserves great fans like you and i lolx
From 1979 til 1986 Joe Jackson was probably the best pop rock british songwriter and performer, great albums like Look Sharp, I'm the Man, Jumpin'Jive, Night and Day, Body and Soul, Big World, all of them Classics. Then he began to do Movie Soundtracks, Jazz, Adult Contemporary, and his big moment of popularity ended. Anyway he's still doing great music.
Brilliant. Lyrics that are witty & wise and painfully, painfully true. How could anyone that age be so mature! Underneath the compulsory 'angsty' look of the post-punk era, this smart man sneaked in thoughtful, sensitive lyrics. The musicality is not showing off, it's just THERE! That sweet melodious backing lets us know how heartfelt & aching the sentiment really is. There is a 2019 (i think!) TOTP3 version of this on RUclips with just the man himself at a piano & playing this live. I was bracing myself for the worst but I was wrong. He still sings it brilliantly and backs it beautifully on the keyboard, all by himself. Have a look! What a talent! :)
Dit is het kleinste liedje met de meeste inhoud, over gevoel en compassie. Wat een held. Joe Jackson, heeft zoveel juwelen geschreven. Al bijna 50 jaar onnavolgbaar!,
This is probably the only song which gives me a real tingle and takes me straight back to my childhood every time I hear it, will always love this tune.
Take a little time and find the right girl, then again don’t end up left on the shelf. Magnificent lyrics that still resonate with me. Love Joe Jackson!
This lovely guy could charm the ducks off a pond , his talents are endless , this classic will live until eternity xx once heard never forgotten xxx Joe the genius lol to all fans Jane x
Class... As a young lad of the 80s I liked this song (We all did) But all these years later, I still think this and "Stepping Out" are Top top records.. Modern stuff is just over produced, bland, shite......
Totally agree. Saw them support the "Stones" at Roundhay park Leeds in 1982. Also supporting were The J Geils Band, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers, Joe Jackson was the best of the three support acts.
LOOK SHARP just snuck into the 70's and is one of the most influential albums in music history. A lot of musicians don't even realise that Joe Jackson's music has permeated their sub-conscious.
this guy is a pure genius, when ever i hear one of his classics im thrown into a state of pure happiness ,,,hes so unique ,,,,hes been on the top of my list since his beginning,,,,,,until eternity lol xx
Jackson was a phenomal musician & song writer - & I would support Geoffrey Jonathan Wilson's assertion that this man was unashamedly under-rated. Over the years, he's scored some of the finest contemporary music, still extant.....give me this guy over many of his modern counterparts :)
Theresa i feel the same way as you , this guy is a pure genius , i love his voice hes so unique in every aspect , ive loved him since his beginning ,, thats a long time lol x Jane x
Je suis d'accord avec la plupart des commentaires qui disent que Joe Jackson n'a pas eu le succès total qu'il méritait, je m'en rends compte aujourd'hui c'est un chanteur de génie, une très belle voix, un musicien hors pair, des mélodies à tomber par terre et des paroles inspirées...Un mec formidable en somme...et ses cheveux blancs lui vont très bien, même si le temps qui passe nous rend nostalgiques....
I remember tapping this from the radio onto a portable cassette recorder, speaker to mic, as a young boy in a dark dingy living room in rainy England. Vivid memories.
"What the hell is wrong with you tonight?" Having forgotten the video since 1979/80, I was slightly wincing, half expecting a cheesy, dated offering. That opening line just blows that out of the water! Sublime song, genius economy, as perfect as I remembered it as a floundering teen! Encouraged me to embrace and nurture what little "edge" I may have had back then! Thanks Joe.
Just listened to a track by XTC "Making Plans for Nigel & then this Joe Jackson classic jumped out of my hippocampus. They don't make tunes like these anymore.🔥🔥
I bought the 7" (5 singles) format of this album when it came out and still play it with pleasure. Saw him live a few times 1979-81 when he had to deal with pathetic (as he rightly called it) post-punk gobbing onstage. But he got on with it and delivered, every time. Great times, thanks Joe!
Just an utterly brilliant song by Joe Jackson. Takes me back to my Uni days and youth. Songs of this calibre have been few and far between since the early 90s. However I am excited that people like say 21 Pilots are fighting to restore quality back into pop songs again.
This is organic voice, guitar, bass and drums making a superb pop tune with NO studio digital effects. It's a stand-alone masterpiece of great quality. The fact that it made it into the British charts is more miraculous than inevitable.
Kudos to the cameraman getting up close to each musician! I for one love seeing the musicians at work. People get too engrossed by the singer..where would he/she be without the musicians? Just getting into Joe Jackson and his band..never took much notice of him through the years...love them all now. Talented af and their tunes are pure class.

Yes, my experience was similar, nice guy.
Bavon WW wow! 👍
Absolutely dead right. A touch eccentric, er, re the smoking nonsense.
Who else thinks Joe Jackson was criminally under-rated? He was great!
One of the great New Wave artists of the late 70's-early 80's for sure!!!
I love so much
He had to leave England and make it in USA to be appreciated...I agree, very under-rated live performer and song writer

One of the best written, directed and structured songs of its decade. A gem
Richard , i agree with you , this bloke is a complete genius , ive always adored him lol xx
It really is a beautiful gem.

A lesson in songwriting. Pure Genius. This song has stuck with me since i was a kid. It still sounds fresh.
Me too.
Bloody true aswell😂
Would have to agree...superb
Totally agree with you discovered it when I was 11yrs old 😂
One of the perfectly constructed pop songs along with Video killed the radio star and Love Shack. Great songs indeed.

Excellent single. Totally underrated musician. The arrangement on this track is almost hypnotic.
Joe, I`ve now loved this song for 41 years, the hairs still stand as they did in 1979. Thankyou.

Breath of fresh air is right. Stripped down yet there is

For me, Joe had the sound of the 80's. I listen to 'steppin out' and seriously i want to cry.
ANOTHER forgotten gem.
roin us fans will never forget joes classics , never in a million years lol xx
crisp, clean minimal production...this is how its done
I was still at school. This stands the test of time. ☺
The bass!
One of those rare songs that gets better as the years go by
I wish we could go back to the 70's and 80's was such a happier time, music was everything
If only we could turn back the hands of time
Yep 95% of today's music is dire.
Ashamed to say at 46 years old I've just discovered Joe Jackson, better late than never
Simply Ghost Nights hes from my manor peel commen gosport im 46 grew up me bruvs knew him
Simply Ghost Nights 👍All good things come to those who wait
Me too, at 48 !! :o)
Where were you lot hiding in the 80s? :)
Didn't you Step Out in 1982?

Fantastic song from Joe Jackson. I've always loved it.
Love this tune and many more from Joe Jackson.
Just reminds me of secondary school and my mates, when life was simple.
Nice 1 Joe 👍🏾🙂🙏🏾
One of the greatest singer-songwriters of the era, Joe didn't have the classic pop star good looks but who gives a crap? its the music that matters.
Maybe not having the looks made him the songwriter that he was
Really? I would 😉
