I had a girlfriend since may 1981. This song i sang to her in 1983. That was 37 yrs ago. I was so in love with her, she was 14 and i was 16 when we met at an arcade in Santa Cruz at the boardwalk, 39 yrs ago. We got married in may 1986, had 4 sons and 1 daughter. We now have 10 grandchildren. Every time i play this song it just makes me melt and remember the time i had a girlfriend that was just drop dead gorgeous. She is still so beautiful.
Cliff, you really know what life is all about, brother. My very best to you and yours. Bravo!
The Boardwalk was a good place to meet girls in the '80s. I distinctly remember playing this album on cassette during a drive back home from there.
You are blessed 💗
@@Nerval-kg9sm first time ever on a roller coaster I was so scared but didnt show it because I wanted to impress her
💛💛💛💛💛 !!!!!
Bringa a tear to my eye. Im an inner city Black kid from the 80s, MTV opened so many musical doors for so many like me. This is my shit!!! Life was so good even though we had little in the way of material possessions. Music was free for all of us!!!
Well put ✊✊✊✊
We were cool with each other !
@@EdwardKovach-v7y 4 sho!!
❤❤❤❤
Hey I'm 65 we were all together back then
One of my favorites. I don't care that I am getting older. Thank you God for allowing me to live during 80's.
Well said! We really are so lucky to be part of that time and carry it with us forever.
No musical era rocked like the 80's
1983! Remember it well. Reagan in the white house, Reaganomics going strong. $1.25 a gallon gasoline super supreme. 80¢ Big Mac, Whopper, Jumbo Jack. $300 a month rent for a 2 bedroom house with all utilities included except the corded dial phone at $6 a month. ET the movie in theaters all over USA. And this mega hit playing out of boom boxes every where. Great time to be alive. Different people, different era, different time, different styles, different values, different music, different country, different world. Never to return again. Glad I lived it.
@@truelies3690 I remember it well also. I am glad I lived it as well
@@truelies3690 I know I really sound like an old fart, but I came of age (born in 1959) through the late 70s and early 80s. In the 70s I was a rocker at war with disco!! With MTV and new wave, I found a new love in modern, European music. I loved this song! I saw Eurythmics, Berlin, Missing Persons, Psychedelic Furs, Blondie, and a few more. I do think we were lucky. We had enough electronics to have fun but none that would steal our brains and have us staring at our phones all day. I feel so sorry for kids now - we had it better and it seems like the socio-economics of our peers was pretty similar. Forgive me for yakking!!
I tell my children (27 and 30 yrs old) that I want it to be 1982 again. Not for me but
for them.
that would be awsome wouldnt it that was the best of times
There will never be a better decade...Music, movies, TV and college sports were all so much better than today!!!
Perfect sentiment
I tell mines the same 35 34 33 30 27 17 an 8 grandkids I’m 51 best years of my life an you’re right for them I would always watch valley girl just to hear this song
Same !
Timeless!! My condolences to anybody who missed the 80’s.
Yep.
I miss the 80's and the 90's
Hell yes!
For somebody who just listened to this song for the first time - i don't get it. It doesn't hold up to other hits from the same genre. I've no idea how this garbage became so popular.
Grubby bum obviously you weren’t there. This is the epitome of the 80’s
33 years ago I married my soulmate and this was our wedding song. The DJ scratched his head.. we shared the dance floor with everyone. Such a timeless epic song.
Awesome!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
Take me back much love 🤗
Wow ❤❤ good memories
Maybe he scratched his head because you requested a song about being with your lover during nuclear war . . . LOL
Song is 40 years old this week.. It still rocks and makes me want to get up and dance and spin around.. Good on everyone of us for having loved it all these years..
Great observation. I hope you saw them on the tour when they swung through the states. I saw them in Illinois. Got to talk to Robbie and Stephen before the show. They opened with 16 days and gathering dust.
Thanks for reminding me how old I am 👴🏽
Class of 85’
😳 wow 40 years!!!
Where were you in 1982!? Reaganomics underway, Aids scare running wild, Prince Charles and Diana's massive expensive wedding, 99¢ a gallon gas, 75¢ Big Mac, Whopper, Jumbo Jack. Great music, great country, great people, great era, great to be alive. If you were there at the time you know what I mean. A once great era country never to return again.
Nothing like the 80s. Being a teenager during that decade can't be matched.
I know that's right!
We were lucky.
60s,70, and 80s❤❤❤
Yes the 80s was out 60,s facts
OMG DO I MISS IT!!
The 80s are as far away from us now, as the 40s were when we were teens in the 80s. I remember back then thinking the 80s were so modern. I thought the future was going to be so much better than it is today.
I graduated from high school in 83, at the end of that summer in September I went into the Army, February of 84 right out of training I was stationed in Germany, on June 6th of that year in the morning I got a Stars and Stripes magazine and the headline story was how it was the 40th anniversary of D-Day, the invasion of Normandy.
Just the other day I was talking to an old Army buddy of mine who was there that day in Germany and told him "Do you realize that on this June 6th it'll be the same amount of time from D-Day to when we were stationed in Germany as from then until now? We are now as old as some of those WW2 veterans were when we were in the Army, good lord the years have passed by".
Years back I heard an explanation about the perception of time passing by that a long time ago I realized was true and the older I get the truer it is, when you're 10 years old 1 year is one 10th of your perceived life, but when you're 50 years old 1 year is one 50th of your perceived life, that's why the older you get the faster time seems to go by, each day seems like it lasts just as long but when you look back is when time seems to be speeding up and the years seem to go by faster.
I think of those things too…certainly when reflecting on WW2. I remember when I was a little kid and someone mentioned it had now been 35 years since the war…it might as well have been a thousand…@@dukecraig2402
They still are
Stop whining
@@mikeyb5467 Yeah, ok Mom.
I love how everyone is sharing all of their memories/stories. It's so warming to read them and imagine the imagery in your head. A big thank you to the 1980's for allowing this sort of music to bring us together and share with one another. ❤
I hate the 80s ultra consumerism but god it was such a unique culture in music
Loved that era of music and entertainment and the fact that we realized then how great it was without realizing how unique we had it.
That’s rich from someone who can’t wait to get the latest slave made iPhone
One of my fav mini life hacks using this site. Reading people's reflections on classic songs. Always so uplifting, and heartwarming.
True that!!!
My husband was a drummer. He passed suddenly this year. We heard this together in the 80s. Yes we did the 80s dance to it 😉
So sorry. I'm glad you have the great memories.
@@misplacedcajun2325 Thank you for that 👍❤️
Don't worry you will see him again in the next lifetime
@@paulgrieshop5024 Thank you for your uplifting words. I appreciate 👍
sorry for your loss, glad you have good memories

One of those songs that just randomly pop into your head and now you’re suddenly addicted to it all over again
Exactly what just happened to me tonight ❤
I don’t have memories with this song yet but my dad does, my dad was leaving for Navy boot camp and before he left him and his buddies called up his friend who was DJ at the local radio station and asked him to play this song which he did and mentioned how my dad was leaving on the radio. He tells me that story every time he hears this song and I love it. My dads my best friend and I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s taught me and I could go the rest of my life without a friend other than him. Just love your family everyone, especially with times like this. God bless whoever reads this comment
Best wishes to you and your family
God Bless You And Your Family 😊 From Florida
God bless your lovely dad🙏😘
And family 🙏
Your comments brought tears to my eyes.
That is an awesome story!
This was playing when I walked into the house of my first party In high school. I went downstairs and everyone was dancing to this song. It was at this moment I first saw Cindy. She was a senior and I was a freshman and of course I never talked to her. 40 years later I can still see her dancing when I hear this song. Such a fine memory
Great memory, thanks for sharing; I think we all have little memories/episodes like this in our past.
Find her, tell her.
Imagine what might have been if you got together with her.
Damn. I think we’ve all got a similar memory. God Bless all the Cindy’s in this world
lol he's been imagining hooking up w her 40 yrs now ... eversince that party when he was a skinny freshman no car no license she's untouchable senior.
I’m 55 now and this song brings back so many memories! The crap music of today doesn’t hold a candle to the go old stuff of the 80’s. ✌🏻💫❤️💫
Back in the 80s I put this song on a mix-tape for my husband, who was kicking speed in residential rehab. This song brought tears to his eyes, because he knew he was my everything and I just wanted him to be healthy again. LOVE you, my Matthew! ❤
That's. Cool. Nancy,. I. hope. He. never. forget s. how. much. you. care. for. him🥲
You're an amazing woman for that. That's so sweet. Beautiful
@@ZeranZeran What a kind response! Thank you.
@@BruceWall-gv4up Thank you so much. And he never has. 🤗
absolute perfect song for this ! never EVER be ashamed, we lived a life of a 100 lives back then with what we had - good or bad 👍
When I was a teenager all this great music was coming out so frequently I just took it for granted not knowing it would end one day. Thanks to all those great musicians for all the great tunes!
So true. We took things for granted.
It never stopped. Open your fucking ears child.
Not ended, just like fine wine. Better with age.
There's still great music coming out, it's just not on the radio much now. You have to look for it.
If you like this group you will also like (Modern Talking).... I 💕💕 both Singers/Bands...🎉🎉
I'm 55yrs now,Thank God I was alive in the 1980s.What a very Magical time.A 10 yr party of music for every taste u can imagine.The 1970s too were the best for our age group.A twenty year party!!!!!
Model- Man - Yay! Class of 81
Hell yeah....was a teen in the seventies and 20s in the eighties.. awesome time
The 70's L.A. punk scene was great with Rodney B. on KROQ paving the way for new bands trying to break through and cut their teeth in the industry. Black Flagg, The Runaways, The Circle Jerks, The Misfits and Social Distortion were on their way to getting fully established with T4he Ramones here in the States leading the way while Bauhaus, Bowie, The Clash and The Sex Pistols across the pond in Great Britain doing the same. The result? The perfect musical storm of various styles, tastes and flavors mixed, matched, shaken, stirred or just served straight up or neat to create the most badass decade ever.
I too am 55 and the 60s, 70s, and the 80s were the most magical and memorable decades of incredible music for me!! Thanks to RUclips I can sit back and kick my feet up and enjoy the music and reminisce about the good old days and when it was a simpler time! ❤️🙂❤️
@@kaisersozshye2525 WOW!! I really LOVE the way you write! I really felt your emotions and appreciation for music!! I take my hat off to you, and very well said my friend!!! 👍😉
I was born in 1973... Ive never loved anyone that loved me in return... I dont know what it feels like... But it mustbe the most amazing feeling on earth to love someone who loves you back... My only happiness is knowing that this world is full of people in love with each other...
I love you ❤
Born in 68, can relate
Life is beautiful nonetheless
And lets not forget, as a very wise man once wrote and sang, that Hapiness is a warm gun
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, I'm 59 and never been in love. Don't know what it feels like. Must be nice.
It will happen to u bro!!
The only time I felt real love is with my guy and still there even more today … but before that not such a great childhood
Oh man, who hasn’t wanted to stop the world and melt with someone? I was 16 in 1982. The song sounds as fresh today as it did the first time I heard it.
This was the song that was playing back in 1983 when my 16 year old girlfriend told
her mother that she was pregnant .HER MOTHER HATED ME..we are still together today
and have been married since 1984 and her mother still hates me......I LOVE IT
I suppose she wanted her daughter a single mother her whole life?
She's fuckin lucky she found somebody to go through life with her and her mother better realize the alternative is awful.
Cheers. No kids here & yet. Though I couldn’t imagine a world without her. ❤️
awesome you made the best choice boss
Marco1985 ORVISINI What a fabulous story!! ❤️ ❤️
What if Marco1985 ORVISINI was 70 years old at the time he wrote of this seemingly innocent 83' story and hateful Mother? Not so fabulous now is It?
I'm a big time Heavy Metal fan, listening to it for 40 years...but even I must admit,this song is timeless...
I'm also a huge metal head, since '84. My wife says I'm weird because I also love blues, 50s/60s doo wop and New Wave.
@@djay6651 same here, metal my true love, but music is music if it gets you thats it
Is this considered heavy metal? It ain't really that heavy pretty soft if you ask me
@@shrimppimp4509 what I meant to say that as a heavy metal fan,I even find myself listening to a song like this one...this song is far from been a heavy metal song.. nevertheless is a great song..
it was a great time
My uncle loved this song. He passed away recently and this reminds me of him❤
Dedicated to my husband who after 38 years of marriage is still my best friend and the one person who brightens my day when he walks into the room. 👍
That is beautiful
We should ALL be so lucky...Good on ya both!
Nothing better
Very nice story. Gave me goosebumps. Congratulations
Sweet, sounds like my parents honestly! They've been married for 35 years!
“I’ll stop the world and melt with you” that’s so beautiful and heart warming🥺😩❤️
this is a song about two people making love and literally melting because a nuclear bomb hit them lol
@@hylwicks who cares...it’s the fact that he’s willing to die with her.
@@shesmoneja5478 I mean he has no choice lol
@@yougotgamesonyourphone6947 again... who cares 😂 I still feel the EXACT same way I did when I comment my comment. Nothing changed.
Thanks.
This was my first wife and I's song. I don't see her often but when I do this song always reminds me of our relationship even though it was terribly tumultuous. We have a 27 yr old super handsome son. I will always love her and this song is a part of that relationship long gone 💯
We don't just remember songs...
We go back to the memories these songs represnt.
that was the fun part.@D-jj5dy
It’s not even specific memories, it’s emotional time travel 🩵
Music was more than music back then for sure. It was everything.
@D-jj5dyHaaa, I thought the dancing was awesome. You just don't see it anymore 😉
my parents’ song! married for 32 years this July! anytime this song comes on the radio they stop what they’re doing and dance with each other, or if they’re away from each other they’ll call the other one and tell them it’s playing. 💗💗💗
how often this song is playing on your radio? name the station...
❤️
@MythicalHippie: Your parents have awesomely rad taste, and I raise a toast to them.
I want that type of relationship
I love this ❤️
Take me back to the 80's please happy Birthday to me it's my Birthday today I'm 52 .
How time flies, are you that old?
Happy late birthday Scott
@Scott Manning: Happy belated birthday! I'm one year older than you. We were blessed!
Belated Happy Birthday Scott!!
Happy belated birthday
Don't worry, guys. The 80s will be back in 60 years.
But 2080s won’t be that good,like 1980s:(
Yeah when I'm dead
Sounds legit! 👍
it's back now - the sound, not the date XD
It won’t be like 1980 tho
This is my one and only comfort song.
I heard this on an 80s radio station and felt nostalgia and calmness. Now I play it whenever I’m sad,angry, or depressed.
Thank you, Modern English 🙏🏽
What a great song....I am 63 years old and I still love this song. I always will love it.
D Thomas Good Grief! I’m 68! Great, fun, song! ❤️ ❤️
I'm older! lol
Love the alternative 80's music...miss it
it´s because you are so young in body and mind that you enjoy life as you where a teen. don´t you feel that way?
61 here still the love song i post on my wifes fb page (when im not in fb jail. lol)
My beautiful wife and I danced to this great song at our solo wedding dance - (05/16/99)
I LOVE YOU...MARIA
Gosh, didnt know u were married Morrisey. :D
🤣🤣🤣
I love you too Maria!
Awesome!!!
@@jongriggs85 LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE CREEPY ASSHOLE HATERS!!! I BET YOU ARE SINGLE!!!
The 70’s had some great music, as did the 90’s. But something about the 80’s music . . . that is as something special.
John S. true I also liked it the way stranger things used it
And the reason is, it was the most diverse decade of music ever put together on this planet.
It was the real first decade with independent labels... that really did things just for artistic reasons. But it is true, not only the sound, even many of the songs have an uplifting nature that perdures until today. I am thinking of The The's "This is the day", or A Flock of Seagulls "Space Age Love Song", The Waterboys ("The whole of the moon"), Prince ("1999") or so many tracks from the Cure, Depeche mode (but not tonight) or even the weirder stuff that is also amazing. Then you had all the early detroit techno, Acid House, New Beat... CRAZY. The 90's were pretty damn good too, but it was more of a continuation of the spirit of the 80's.
Very good.
The best decade I have ever lived :) A-lot of things took off but they didn't fly long. But this hit flies forever.
That song in your parent’s Vinyl collection that makes you get teary eyed.
...I'm the parent part 🥺☺
19 and on my own in 1982, I blinked my eyes and find myself retiring in Jan. of 2021, life's like that they say.
When we're young, they always tell us how fast it will fly by, and we never believe them. I was 12 in 1983 when I first remember hearing I Melt With You in Valley Girl. It truly feels like only yesterday.
BTW, you are very young to be retiring! Good luck to you.
@@Nightflyer720
40yrs at one job is a longtime, COVID is the reason why 100k's have been offered early retirement in America, I was one of them, just got a 2 year head start that's all, thanks and to you as well.
I only looked away for 5 minutes and when I looked back, 10 years had gone by...then 20...
@@DawnSuttonfabfour I WISH it were only a decade or two. Now I look back, and 30 and 40 years have passed. Scary!
@@Nightflyer720 Ahem yeah, about that...it is more than 20 years, in fact it is somethingy2. I just lie about my age. I was 19 in 1980, you do the math but don't tell me cos I'm in denial right now.
This song came out in 82ish,I met what would be the love of my life two years later! He was perfect, but we were young and though no fault of our own had to separate. This song was ours and whenever i heard it after 84,it took my heart back to my perfect boy and our perfect love...
Don't be sad,this story has a happy ending...we found each other again 8 years ago...this is still our song...and we are living happily ever after . Believe in fairy tales(and good music) kids!❤❤❤❤
@oh no no What a happy story,your mum has great taste!! It just goes to the fact that music DOES bring people together! HAPPY STUDYING!!!
@Blue Butterfly Thank you so much,I feel very lucky!❤❤❤
Rock on girl!!!
@@waynegouin939 Thanks! I am ALWAYS rockin' on...you do the same!!❤
Cool, keep rockin!
i remember skipping school to go hang out at the local cemetery...they had a huge mausoleum, and back then no one cared much about visitors, even young 15 year old visitors with bright green hair, trench coat, and ghetto blaster..i would go to the lowest floor, play this, and it would echo through the halls, and it sounded amazing...i thought i had forever. i spent many an hour in that chilly, sickly sweet smelling place, reading, listening to modern english, the smiths, the cure, depeche mode, nitzer ebb..those were some good days.
I used to do the same thing with my bros in the 80's at the RoseHills cemetery in Los Angeles except we were blasting SLAYER! 🤘
"A dreaded sunny day
So I meet you at the cemetry gates
Keats and Yeats are on your side..."
That's a nice memory. Also depeche mode. Wow.
When I ditched school, we’d smoke pot and go to arcade or just smoke pot.
I used to walk through the cemetery at my very old university, looking at the gravestones of students who had died of tuberculosis and drowning back in the 1700's. I wanted to remind myself that I I'm going to die one day.
I apsolutely love this song by Modern English,!!!! Great Songs,& Awesome Group,!!!!
I'll never forget just chilling on our destroyed old couch listening to 80s music with my dad. One of the best moments of my childhood, thank you dad, you mean the world to me ♥️
Beautiful
what destroyed it? 🤣🤣
I’m 19 and this song is my life! Sucks I wasn’t born to experience the 80’s and I wish I had friends who liked this kind of music. But, I thank my parents for raising me right.
You've got great taste!
Yes...parents did a good job.
Start writing songs from ya hart n life n get yaself a band start changing the world to better as we did in the 80s.
you are a loser
Thank you for reading... this song got me my wife....
80's were the BEST OF TIMES IF MY LIFE 54 now,stay positive kid the future is yours.
This song is getting better all the time😎
4 sure
I’m a kid and my grandparents showed me all these cool bands like this one, Depeche Mode, tears for fears, and they had way cooler music then I do. I am jealous.
I love this song. And just like that I’m back in high school and it’s 1981. The 80’s. Such a great decade. Thankful I lived them first hand. ❤
Class of 81 here too. Those were fun times.
Me too, sister. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.
Class of 81 here, I didn't realize then how good we had it until now. Loved the 80s
Class of ‘86 - Good time to live in
Where to even begin. I will just say that this song pretty much defines what the 80’s felt like. It really is a time capsule captured in music. This is one of the best songs in all history.
Man, where did music like this go? I would take this song over any shit in the radio right now 10x over.
Gotta look for it man, nothing worthwhile comes easy. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth it
I say that too...only I want music from the 60's. 1980's....I liked Crowded House! :-)

Bro just find a radio station that plays 70s 80s and 90s it ain’t that hard
The radio is crap now.I still feel so good hearing this song
That drummer needs a round of applause all his own...,♥️
As a drummer, I really appreciate someone recognizing them in the background📺 thank you
Really, it'd be like striking gold to find a drummer to "play a song".
@@tlk6668 drummers are like filmmakers they don't get the appreciation they deserve

It's the theme, not the meme.
I'm running out of tissues again, happens every time I go back and listen to the 80s. so many tears remembering how good things were and how crap they are now. peace out to children of the 80s.
Bob Dobalina I feel ya... tears for all the things that’ve happened since I used to hear this song.
I listen to the 80's music and takes me back to the days of innocence and happy times. Miss it soooo much.

@@hoosiermyrek No, was he in there? No, mine's from that Del tha funky Homosapien song ;)

I'm reading the comments. This song is so special to so many people. Myself included. Very personal memories. Its magic! Thank you.❤
Ok. I'm almost 60 years old. I was here on the ground floor. This is (was) the 80's
55yo and so, so happy I was coming of age in the 80's.
Was the BEST time🎆
I'm with you. Every time I hear this it takes me back. Best times ever! Still know all the words too.
Ditto. First heard this as part,of Valley Girl soundtrack at,the theatre. Which we drove to in the 1983 red Camaro z-28. Good stuff.
@@chrisa.4011 I am 53 and I am so glad I grew up in the 80's!! so awesome!!!
There is no possible way to describe being out with all your friends in high school on a Friday night . . . going from party to party . . . this song is playing. It is magic. For me, the year was 1987.
You find as you get older that the times are rare when you are truly exactly where you want to be with the people you want to be with. You wouldn't trade those times for anything.
Yeah
1985 for me :)
That was the best year
I love this song
Well said
Oh the sweet 80s, I'm 57 and this song takes me back to high school. Thank you! :)
Boring comment compared to many but here goes....
I was tending bar at a hotel in Seattle. Just about to close up after giving last call and these lads came by and said, "Can you stay open just for a few?" I said yes, if they'll hurry and put their bags in their rooms.
They did, then came back and I learned they were Modern English! They'd just come from a show at Seattle Center where they'd ROCKED THE HOUSE! Totally. A couple of other patrons and I stayed way too long sharing stories (and drinks) with this group of GREAT guys! A pleasure to meet them, and to get this story to share.
THATS AWESOME!!
The ‘80s were the best years of my life. Ok, and the ‘90s. I am so sorry to those that missed it because the world is shit now.
You said it, sis. 1980's and 1990's- best years of my life.
You are truly one of the lucky ones !
Spit that Truth Sis!! As a freshman in high school I was lucky enough to get asked to the junior prom by my best friend's older brother. I can still remember dancing to this song at his prom and loving the fact that I was an invincible fifteen-year-old who thought I was going to live forever
Im I'm glad I lived through the 80s as a kid best 10 years of my life
Truth!
nothing beats the 80s music
true.
90's and early 2000 songs are good too
I think some of us have somebody we secretly and quietly love (our somebody). When I play this song I cry tears of joy because it truly stops my heart everytime. 30 yrs and counting.
I have someone exactly like this and I love them so much and I’ve been waiting for a comment like this :)
I wasn’t here for the 80s, born in the early 2000s, but this was my favorite song as a kid. First heard it at a friends birthday party, and now it fondly reminds me of my childhood :)
Absolutely timeless.
Live every day like it is your last day. Follow your heart and your passions, life is too short to go through it unhappy. Cherish the ones you love, never let a day go by without telling them that you love them. Your 20s are the best time of your life, dont waste them on foolish things like drugs and drinking. I hope you have a wonderful life and do great things❤
Hi, same!!! Born in the early 2000s too and the first time I listened to this song was in a movie I absolutely adore (you probably know it, its called “Sky High”) and every time I hear this melody, I can only remember my childhood fondly.
I,m. glad. you. like. it,,. I. wish. you. could. know. how. far. out. is. was in. the. 80,s. 🥲
My kids were the 90's & still love this song cause I played it when they were growing up
Same, I was born in the early 90s (so obviously not alive when this song came out) but I remember first hearing it as a kid while I was shopping at an Old Navy store with my mom! I remember being mesmerized by it and then always associating it with Old Navy whenever I heard it. lol.
met my one, true love when we were both in high school in 1984-- and we're still together and have been blessed with four, beautiful boys
You are awesome

Donna Ellis I did too😢
Donna Ellis same here but with 3 boys .
Of all those big new wave hits, THIS feels the most REAL. It's not overproduced, it still feels like it came from some British punks who found a synth.
*It's Sept 3, 2019 and still jammin on 80's and new wave*

@@nicolewashburn9210 cool!
My wife and I met 20 years ago, this is our song. So, all royalties should go to us.
I've been looking for this song for so long, ever since i saw the movie sky high when i was younger! I LOVE IT
yeah i know but i like the lyrics more than the sound and the original is kinda better for me :D
ikr!!! and Valley Girl love the 80s💜💜💜
it was valley girl
steamin stu right I love that movie its a classic and this is coming from a 16 yr old whose parents were teenagers during the 80s but I feel like such an old soul because I'm so in love with that decade it's just something about the 80s that was perfection💜😂
yaa it was one of the first movies on HBO when i was like 14...crazy that a song can stay in my head this long ...catch myself hummmming lol
This song never gets old. When I listen to it, it brings me back to those high school and college days of the '80s and look back at those amazing years with wonder.
Wish I could relive the 80's. What a great time in my life.
Donna NJ wish I was there with you.
Yep, the 80's were the bomb, i'll have the time machine working soon. you up for the trip ? ;)
80s music fit my 90s..90s music fit my 80s..
I'm so glad I was there unlike so many pure 😍
Same here...
Who's listening in 2024? 😀👍
My freshman year in highschool!! Lost my !!! To this song 💖💖 she was 18 me 14 !!takes me back !!!
Yo!
heyo!
❤
the futures open wide🎉
Too bad MTV doesn't play songs like this anymore.
KermisVoyager1997 Yeah they do.
you mean songs from 35 years ago?
What's MTV?🤔
Too bad they don’t still make songs like this!
KermisVoyager1997 ለምን እህትአለም?
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist bought me here.. what a great song!
Me to I saw Jane Levy sing it it was adorable
@@Dej690 sure was! love her and the show 😁
@@kjnm8113 I do to her and the show are awsome
Ditto!! ☺️🥰
OMG SAME!!!!! I had never heard the original, and I wanted to listen. I definitely love both version. Jane was so great with this song
The opening of the song puts a smile in my face. Heard it on the radio few days ago. Great song by Modern English!
Another reason the 80s was the best decade
The perfect song for the final scene in the movie "Valley Girl".
Was wondering this cause I remember the movie with Nic Cage
Such an uplifting end to that film. Haven't seen it in years but loved it back when it came out.
Gag me with a spoon
Valley Girl, my best 'go to movie' when I want to hear the best music EVER!
Oh shit talk about a throw back movie with nickels cage fuk i love that movie i was like 10 wow
I'll stop the world and melt for singing with an English accent!!
+Tinker Diggens Does that include faking an English accent because you're not really English :)
+VortigernPendragon sure I'll melt for that too! but I think these guys sound like the real thing!!
+Tinker Diggens Oh yes, they're definitely English. They're from Colchester. The thing that always stands to me about this video is how much the guitarist with the wavy hair looks like the little elf on Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer who wanted to be a dentist.
+VortigernPendragon HOLY COW you're right!!
+Iron Giant thats the problem Syd Barrett started obsessing over. He heard all these Brits shed their accents yet his songs actually intensified his own accent. Thats what Lucifer Sam is really about---being proud to hold tight something he couldn't explain. A meow is fundamentally the same in any language except of coarse Jack Russell Terrier
This is my daughter and her husband’s favorite song and of course, mine!
Hi I recommend a song here on youtube called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
The 80s were days we will never feel again - it was AWESOME! Grateful to have them in my heart.
What happened? I was just playing these songs on my record player. I am 40 and getting grey hair, worried about cholesterol and blood pressure. It happened so fast!
Clayton Hightower haha. I know the feeling, but, not in my 40's yet. Miss being a kid in the 80's.
I hear ya...not gray hair yet, but still
40s ??? i'm 62, I was 25, but luckily for me I stopped maturing at 15yo.....I wonder why current music sucks so badly if I'm still 15?
Ha ha ha! Don't feel bad. I stopped maturing at 12. :D
Clayton Hightower haha. I am 49 now and remember how much i loved this as a teen. Some things never change. I still adore this song. Good memories listening to it 😄
Can’t get enough of this song!! EVER!!! He has such a powerful voice.
So many awesome things about this song. I don't know which I like better: the drum solo or the bass mixed with "hmmm hmm hmmm."
There is absolutely no mistaking that bass line!!
Agreed!!
I proposed to my wife with this song on. 33 years later I think we melted together quite excellently. Still our song.
This song reminds me of my old best friend, Theresa. We first heard this song when we went to see the movie Valley Girl. She was so much fun! She taught me to have confidence in myself. Gosh, I sure miss those days and I miss her terribly. We just kind of drifted apart as we progressed through our teens. She called me a "preppy" and called herself a "pit". I never understood why that meant we couldn't be friends. I was still the same person and so was she, but in her mind it meant we were too different. Then she got pregnant (as a teenager) and that's when we really drifted apart. She probably needed a friend more than ever during that time but I was too immature to understand. I regret that. But I pray for her and hope she's doing well. She was one of the best friends I ever had. I still love her like a sister and always will ♥
Wow, bro, that's some deep stuff...and beautiful. Give it some thought, think on it, how would it go IF you reached out??? Whatever you do...peace to you, my brother, 'cause Fuck yeah, that's some good stuff you wrote.
wow I so get that !!!
u should definitely try finding her
that was beautiful. In a perfect world I wish you two would reconnect but some things are better left undisturbed and in the past. Maybe when she listens to this song, she'll think of you too.
That's cool , I had a friend like that . Just drifted apart but never forgot them.
I wonder if they ever think of us ...I would hope so .
Back when music had melody, poetry and soul....
This is the greatest song to come out of the 80s
Right up there for sure! Might also consider “Take on Me” or “Wicked Game.” So many great songs from that decade!
It’s great, but let’s not go overboard 😆
Born 1964 got to grow up in the 70's and 80's GOD I'M BLESSED!!
1968 here👍
I always sing this with a British accent even though I'm from America (mid west). I have no idea why. Ever since I was little. Am I the only one?
I thought I was the only one!
Boooo mid-west! 👎🏾
@@MrCamwilliams7 Um... ok. Rude.
@@nikkib317 🤷🏾♂️ it be like that sometimes
@@MrCamwilliams7 yeah. People are so miserable and act like assholes to strangers to feel better about themselves. Yeah, it be like that. 👍
I love it when these British blokes sing and they DO NOT lose the accents like they usually do! LOL This is a smashing tune I should think? If you will?
Smashing most definitely
A great song.
Such a Great song. January 2020 and we're all still rocking out to this song 🎶
and *ALWAYS* 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Yeah great song and video. I remember being 18 in art school loving this song and the VIDEO. Black guy dancing with a white girl... never saw the colour... just saw PEOPLE dancing. But now the Leftists label us as Nazi and white supremacists. What happened to our world? 1980s was awesome and FREE. Now its Orwellian 1984 dystopia where the LEFT says hate is love and lies are truth. God help us.
@@Chamindo7 Keep on thinking free.
@@ximbroglio1752 Nice to receive validation from someone who understands LIBERTAS. Live free or die. Peace my friend.
@@Chamindo7 "But now the Leftists label us as Nazi and white supremacists." - There are Nazis and white supremacists. People complaining about them are not necessarily talking about you. If someone bogusly put the label on you, that's unfortunate.
Listening to this today on an 80s binge. Next is I Ran, A Flock of Seagulls.
One of the best 80"s songs and though it didn't get great ratings then, it is surely recognized as a classic now. Peace
It’s 2024 but for me we are in the 80s 😊
That's where the music was.
Yes. Me too. Pink Cadillac in Waikiki, Oahu. Wave Waikiki. Man those were the days
Yea, it was a great time to be young. This song more than amy song of that time really brings u back. The country was united, thr music was great. Now look,at things, well let's try and be positive
I dedicate this song to my one true love, Brooke. Since you chose oblivion my heart has died and I simply lost feeling.
nezzie bep
:(
sadd.
Kinda poetic. Damn.
oblivion?
Hearing “the future’s open wide” at age 13, just what I needed.
I was a rocker back in the 80's, but I sure remember dancing to this one many, many nights at the Century 21 Night Club!!! That's where I met my soulmate and married him in 1984. He passed away last year. 😢
I’m so sorry Sheila.
I'm so sorry. 🥺🌹❤️
Condolences on your loss.
i grew up listening to this during the 80s...MTV played the shit out of this song, but I have to admit. I loved it then and still love it today...its one of those songs that will forever be stuck with me as one of the most memorable songs growing up.....
Still so good I cry. I'm 44 and feel so young when I play this. hmm hmmm hmmm hmmmm hmmmm !!!!!!
Beruška Vozábová I still feel young. Mid 40s but still young at heart.
Jesse Contreras Me too! But it is strange that I can still feel like a teen, yet not be able to comprehend my 8, 22, 24, and 26 years olds. Lol
😑😎
I'm 59, I promise I'll grow up one day. :)
Beruška Vozábová it's a great song . I'll stop the world......
I melt when I hear this song. Loved to cruise in my car listening to songs like this now classic
This song still kicks ass! I'm 64 and I still listen to it. It was in the movie, Valley Girl!!!
THANK YOU!!! I was trying to remember the name of that movie! 🫶🏼
What an awesome song !!!!
One of the best songs EVER!
