This is Kajagoogoo performing "Kajagoogoo" on the tube and not 'preparing myself for a fall' as mentioned on the program. Enjoy the haircuts, music and celebrate the 80's.
OMG! What, WOW! SIXTEEN CANDLES opening movie song. Never did I know that it was them. I was 5 when the movie came out but my 2 sisters were in high school so as I played with He-man that music was always in the background. Now I’m listening to it LOUDLY in my home. Such beautiful sounds. Long live Kajagoogoo.
I've always loved Kajagoogoo, one of the first groups I heard when I started listening to music. But it's only recently I've really started to listen, some complex stuff, and Beggs? Really something else!
Everytime I listen to Kajagoogoo I want to dance! Love their music! If you like 80's synth-pop like me, you don't care if it seems hokey and outdated by todays standards. Current trends in fashion and music that I laugh about now, everyone will be laughing at 25yrs. from now when they look back, just like people do about Kajagoogoo now. Mark my words.
Im surprised that no one here has brought up the fact that this, without the lyrics, is the intro to Sixteen Candles. I was fortunate to have seen it in the big screen when it came out in 1984...
Superb bit of music. It's easy to forget how good this band were because of Too Shy but they had much more in their armoury than that. And Nick Beggs is one of 2 other British bass players I can think of who were at the top of their game. And he was only around 21 in this clip. Just born to do it I guess.
Love all of kajagoogoo's material...the early 80's were simpler times weren't they? so glad to find these video clips! I don't know how i'd survive living in tornado alley, texas without their music!
So many of us dismissed them in the same way, as teenagers. I have a vague memory of being impressed by their musicianship when I saw them on The Tube, but being dismissive of them otherwise. I guess that Too Shy created an impression of the band with the general public that was hard for them to shift, and became something of a curse for them later on.
@sprintbass - he is playing a Wal bass, made in the UK, with special pickups and active preamp eq, so it can get really bright and snappy funky sounds.
im in america and never heard of the tube til about 94. some of my absolute favorite bands evern were on the show that ive never seen play anywhere else. and i always thought the set was really cool. but this is by far the clearest tube video i have ever seen. where did it come from?
@nickrhodes little darling - your comment is my favourite of all time regarding NB thank you, it really makes me smile. I've fallen into a Kajagoogoo shaped you tube wormhole.....
"In 1981, Art Nouveau advertised for a new lead singer. They ultimately auditioned and chose Christopher Hamill, who then went under the stage name Limahl (an anagram of his surname). The group renamed themselves Kajagoogoo, a name coined phonetically from the first sounds that many infants make."
They were a really cool group. Great pop songs. They were together to briefly though. That was an incredible time in history. I remember it well and looking back it was the best time of my life.
Just found this. GREAT performance and love this tune (playing live over the track?). Always great to be able to see Mr. Beggs' hands close up at work (he rocks so hard). ❤☮🌎
Wonderfull! Love it ! Tell Nick Beggs we know what he is doing there..holding his pants on and looking serious! I think he loves being serious! Serious good music guys! Coming from a guy who loves mature prog
@palebeachbum Today's hottest trends are based on popular fashion from the 1980's These styles are shown in today's fashion, as mullets, tight pants, glasses,old school shoes... etc
It was so unfortunate Limahl split Kajagoo goo so early. Even though there were some issues, still having pop cute vocal in actually skilled band was necessary to make the music special.
The sad thing was nick was to busy looking down slinging his braids around to see who the crowd actually going nuts for it’sLimahl they fired him and the band lost a long career of hits it’s tough when u fire the voice that made the song a hit I’m sure he regrets that move I’m happy they made up
Yes it was - but it depends on which version 16 Candles. I've seen two different versions (both US), and they use different songs in different scenes. For this song, one version uses this exact song, in anohter it's a modified one with lots of horns/brass.
Kajagoogoo is much more excting than beatles, but if you inisist to go n´listen those bRand tell macartney to learn a bit of bass with NICK BEGGS (oh, and ringo "the" star to learn a little bit of electronic drums, though he may learn to learn first how to play drums).
Nick Beggs was seen playing a Rickenbacker and a Spector Euro LX in the past few months (on tour with Steven Wilson). Maybe he didn't need the WAL for the tone he needed (and it's hard to beat the Stingray for slap tone anyway).
They also did 'interview rooms' on this appearance, which may explain why the caption said 'preparing myself for a fall' which is a lyric from that ruclips.net/video/BsUsDRDE3Lo/видео.html
One of the few bands on The Tube to come on MIMING to a backing track. Limahl is singing live, ok....but the rest of em? Track fades out as people cheer and clap. Why didn’t they play live here I wonder?
does anyone know the werid musicman stingray esqe bass mr nick beggs is playing? it has a musicman pick up it looks like the the head stock is not anyting a MM makes...custom perhaps? I know the bass he playes for most kaja songs is a (2 BAND) stringray....i have to say that the 2 band sounds alot (funkier) than the 3...MM have called the 2b (classic series..) 1800$ in USA:( Damian

For me, Nick beggs is the greatest bass player in the world! His bass lines are a killer!
I've always loved Kajagoogoo, one of the first groups I heard when I started listening to music. But it's only recently I've really started to listen, some complex stuff, and Beggs? Really something else!
The bass player for Japan is also a top bass player.
John Entwistle was one of the greatest bass players also.
John Taylor

palebeachbum hey. Check out my new EP heart dance inferno on www.aarongwynaire.com if you like synth rock pop vibes!
LOVE THE BASS.... And who ever said that Kajagoogoo sucked should have been slapped in the face. They have LIMAHL!!!!!!!!!!
they (had) Limahl
Will always remember the opening to Sixteen Candles, (1984)
Really good my dad likes it! He is 38 and I am ellie. I am 8. My dad nearly puts it on every day! My dad was born in 1976! I was born in 2005.
Now your dad's 43!
Lynsey Preston I was born in 2005 aswell. Great to know someone who has similar taste in music!
@@piewpiew9537 2005 gang
Really groovy and catchy. He was lucky to grow up with this. I was 6 when this comment was written and I’m 14 now
i love the 80s, It's all i listen to and i'm 15 lol
Im surprised that no one here has brought up the fact that this, without the lyrics, is the intro to Sixteen Candles. I was fortunate to have seen it in the big screen when it came out in 1984...
I LOVE the way Nick Beggs is always so 'panto'when he's on stage - who knew eyebrows and hair clackers could be so expressive!!! Love it!
Superb bit of music. It's easy to forget how good this band were because of Too Shy but they had much more in their armoury than that. And Nick Beggs is one of 2 other British bass players I can think of who were at the top of their game. And he was only around 21 in this clip. Just born to do it I guess.
John Taylor of Duran Duran was the other one for sure!
@@CC-vw1nd fine bassist. Not in Nick Beggs’ league though but not many are. There’s also Mick Khan from Japan and Pino Palladino and Derek Forbes.
@@nickgodfrey1148 maybe Mark King gets on the list?
@@winstoncat6785 yeah good call, I’d stick him near the top.
Love all of kajagoogoo's material...the early 80's were simpler times weren't they? so glad to find these video clips! I don't know how i'd survive living in tornado alley, texas without their music!
I didn't realize just how good of a bass player Nick Beggs was until I saw the beginning of this.
I would play this song walking to school and pretended I was in sixteen candles 🤪
TOP BASS !
Simply brilliant. Totally dismissed as throwaway pop at the time. How wrong can you be. This still sounds relevant. Nick Beggs out of this world.
IKR?
So many of us dismissed them in the same way, as teenagers. I have a vague memory of being impressed by their musicianship when I saw them on The Tube, but being dismissive of them otherwise.

@sprintbass - he is playing a Wal bass, made in the UK, with special pickups and active preamp eq, so it can get really bright and snappy funky sounds.
one of the best slap players ever
that guy can play the bass really welll
i like so much this tune, the perfomance! I love all of them! 🙂
Such good musicians I still love their music !
Bellissimo fantastico ❤️
Nick Beggs RULEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
OF COURSE!!! 80's FOREVER!
Still as cool as. Never gets old!
im in america and never heard of the tube til about 94. some of my absolute favorite bands evern were on the show that ive never seen play anywhere else. and i always thought the set was really cool. but this is by far the clearest tube video i have ever seen. where did it come from?
Nick Beggs est très charismatique ,il dégage une énergie incroyable sur scène .C'est l'image emblêmatique de cette musique du début des années 80 !
NICK BEGGS = PARTYMAKER!!!
Mick Karn from JAPAN was an amazing bass player also.
@nickrhodes little darling - your comment is my favourite of all time regarding NB thank you, it really makes me smile. I've fallen into a Kajagoogoo shaped you tube wormhole.....
Kajagoogoo is good looking brand from a 80's
"In 1981, Art Nouveau advertised for a new lead singer. They ultimately auditioned and chose Christopher Hamill, who then went under the stage name Limahl (an anagram of his surname). The group renamed themselves Kajagoogoo, a name coined phonetically from the first sounds that many infants make."
Grande Kajagoogoo…….👏👏👏👏👏
They were a really cool group. Great pop songs. They were together to briefly though. That was an incredible time in history. I remember it well and looking back it was the best time of my life.
Nick Beggs a Bass legend
Mick Karn from the group Japan is also up there, and his crab walk while playing!!!
One of my fav songs 😊
Kajagoogoo, nick, and limahl together, they where Just perfect.
Just found this. GREAT performance and love this tune (playing live over the track?). Always great to be able to see Mr. Beggs' hands close up at work (he rocks so hard). ❤☮🌎
absolutely amazing
Oh how I wish I was born earlier to experience this.
the 80's are the best
Wonderfull! Love it ! Tell Nick Beggs we know what he is doing there..holding his pants on and looking serious! I think he loves being serious! Serious good music guys! Coming from a guy who loves mature prog
Intro to Sixteen Candles, starring Molly Ringwald, Top Film, Top Tune.

Super zespół
I’m doing my art right now and I feel like Dancing too 💃🏼 🎶🎼🎶💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼❤️❤️❤️
i kinda like the bass. catchy
It was so unfortunate Limahl split Kajagoo goo so early. Even though there were some issues, still having pop cute vocal in actually skilled band was necessary to make the music special.
🎉❤
Stupenda
I recognize this song!!! It played on "Sixteen Candles" during the opening credits.

Fasinante
Nick beggs is an angel
@progjazzfusion hey!
thanks for that...i did contact wal but have heard nothing as of yet...
Limahl voce sensuale e carismatico
Nick Beggs was seen playing a Rickenbacker and a Spector Euro LX in the past few months (on tour with Steven Wilson). Maybe he didn't need the WAL for the tone he needed (and it's hard to beat the Stingray for slap tone anyway).
Fabulous.
Underestimate tune....!!!!!! Nick Beggs is the boss
They also did 'interview rooms' on this appearance, which may explain why the caption said 'preparing myself for a fall' which is a lyric from that ruclips.net/video/BsUsDRDE3Lo/видео.html
este video es genial
¡Me encantan!
Where can I find a version of this song with vocals?
Good question! What's the answer??? ❤☮🌎
Super!
The instrumental part reminds me of the song: Can't Stop Running from Space Monkey
One of the few bands on The Tube to come on MIMING to a backing track. Limahl is singing live, ok....but the rest of em?
Track fades out as people cheer and clap. Why didn’t they play live here I wonder?
IMHO, I think they're playing live over the recorded track. ❤☮🌎
does anyone know the werid musicman stingray esqe bass mr nick beggs is playing? it has a musicman pick up it looks like the the head stock is not anyting a MM makes...custom perhaps? I know the bass he playes for most kaja songs is a (2 BAND) stringray....i have to say that the 2 band sounds alot (funkier) than the 3...MM have called the 2b (classic series..) 1800$ in USA:(
Damian
Great fun to had back in the day!! Great bands and great songs too!! Love Kaja!!
the best pop show ever friday night 5;30 to 7:00
How am I a genz but listening to this and personally think it slaps
I love this song. it is better than "too shy". And their second album is way better than their first. この曲を聴くとリマール要らなかったんじゃないの？と思ってしまう。
"that's the strange name where is it coming from..." oh i wish i had the lyrics ): cant understand a thing of what he says after that...
Drieli Fernanda Here you go ;-)
That's a strange name.
Where is it coming from?
That's a strange name, uh?
Sufficiently saying
It's something that a child would say
On a first day
K-A-J-A

Son deliciosos, eterios sonidos conectados con el pasado
