She posted the first ad. He responded. They both want the same things but don't tell each other. It's just about keeping the lines of communication open in a relationship and not making assumptions about your partner or you're doomed to a dull life.
Bingo!!
They are both shitty people for wanting to cheat on their spouse/lover. It was only through an ironic twist that they ended up together and they learned they should have communicated better. They were both pretty shitty people for nearly cheating on each other.
Yes! Some people miss that she started it with the ad-which prob shouldn’t matter that much lol!
I really like Brad and Lex, but they miss so much. I wish they would print out the lyrics and read them before they listen to the song.
Well put.
She wrote the first ad, he read it and responded, asking to meet the next day, she actually stepped out first 😄
I think feeling you get from the song is "offsetting fouls, repeat first down"🙂
How many people answered that ad and how many had she gone out with before she ran into him?
she only wrote the ad he answered so it could be him that stepped out not that it matter they both were ready to cheat lol
Most likely he wasn't the first person who responded. This was probably her 5th or 6th date but he'll never know. Great marriage right there.
@@John_Locke_108 I mean. It's a song. All the characters are entirely fictional. But, feel free to focus on the minutia if you wish. I'll stick with the feel-good-vibe of the song.
Probably the reason why this song was such a huge hit is it's actually a pretty fun song---Number 1 , every station was constantly playing it that year!!
The LAST #1 song of the 1970s (Dec.1979?).
Man, I miss the 70s!
@@JasonSmith-jr7jh and early 80's. Well at least for me.
This song was still playing on the radio where I lived in the 90s.
I loved this song when it originally came out, but like every other song on the radio at that time that was popular, it became like the words in the song - played out recording. LOL If you think about the time that was to come (80s was all about Jane Fonda workouts, jazzercise, aerobics, cardio - it was EVERYWHERE - everyone had a VHS workout to pawn off - it was overload and excess just like the excess of the 80s).
@@jbjacobs9514 When it became a hit, I was in the Rush-Zep-Floyd phase of my teens and paid it no mind. Being a drummer though, I recall in about '85 or '86 hearing it at random. The slow groove and the spacey drumming wiped all of the "played to death" prejudice I had.
That Groove!
I don't care how "human" drum machines have evolved, you CAN'T reproduce this funky groove with a machine!
The song is about how communication often fails in relationships. They basically forgot why they fell in love with each other to begin with, but then rediscover that they were with the right person the whole time.
As a kid I always sang the chorus and that's about all I listened to. A few weeks ago the song came on the radio and I listened to the whole thing, and got the real vibe immediately. I suppose being almost 30 now and being in a 3 year relationship changes perspective!
You guys missed it; the qualities he likes in a woman he already has...Just as the qualities she likes in a guy she already has...and the light bulb turned on for both of them. Like he said, we had fallen into the same dull routine. They wanted the spark again and found it.
I met Rupert Holmes about 20 years ago....he recorded this vocal in one take and it became the song you hear. He tried redoing it but felt it never captured the magic of that first take. This was also the last #1 song of the 70s.
Big fan! He seems so awesome from interviews.
@@NoCanDu Yes, he was very down to Earth and so easy to talk with. At the time, I was living in Scarsdale, NY and when the opportunity came to interview him I was pleasantly surprised to learn that he too lived in Scarsdale and was only a couple of blocks away!
And the first #1 song of the 80s.
PREACH my brother!
Rick danko did unfaithful servant in one take as well, did a bunch takes but the first one was the best
You look at it too meta.
When that woman puts a ad in the paper, she was describing herself and what she was looking for. It’s not to knock the guy down.
She’s not into yoga and she wants someone with half a brain. She wasn’t expecting her man to read that ad.
To me the song is more about how important communication is in a relationship.
I've always loved the cadence and phrasing of the vocals.
Brad, I love the songs that catch you off guard. Loved this reaction. Thats why you have to communicate with your women. Cannot stop laughing!!👍😂😂😂
Watch Rupert Holmes talk about making this song on Professor of Rock's channel. It's one of the best types of these interviews you'll ever see. You don't even have to like the song to appreciate it. It's brilliant.
I saw that. It's easy to write him off because of the novelty nature of that particular song. However, he is a really talented musician and composer. Still very active today.
They were in a rut. Just needed to shake it up and rediscover each other. It happens. 🤩
By cheating on each other.
They didn't cheat on each other. They actually stopped that from happening. Not saying I'm in favor of the method but they ended up not cheating on each other.
@@kellimartin2454 Their intent was to cheat. That's all that matters. You must be a mark.
Seems like you have some experience in this. I don't so I'll defer to you. Gave my opinion on the song. You have a right to yours. Thx
@@kellimartin2454 Nope. You are a natural mark who will get cheated on over and over. You were designed for Stockholm Syndrome.
*She's* the one that wrote "if you're not into yoga." She wrote the first ad (in the first verse), that he responded to without knowing it was her.
It's not the greatest song ever, but it has a catchy chorus you can sing along to, and an amusing story with a mildly clever twist. It also has a moral about relationships and how lack of communication can lead you into a rut because you don't really know each other.
And on soft rock and pop stations back then it got played about 5 times per hour. I may be exaggerating, but not by *that* much.
It was played a lot!
This song is about how people always think there is something better out there, and don't communicate enough.
It's actually quite brilliant writing.
Love this!! Sitting in my mom’s car, on the highway, AM Radio going, and singing our heart’s out!! Good times!!
The moral of the story! "Living with someone and really not knowing that someone"! sadly we stop communicating and let our everyday lives get in the way of the people we love and even our own happiness. Society has programed us mostly live to work and not work to live. Please give someone a hug and tell them u love them...Rock On!
A fun song. However, I can never help but imagine the actual conversation between this couple as they meet at the bar: "What? You were planning to cheat on me? I was planning to cheat on you! Isn't that the cutest thing?"
I'm glad YOU get it... most people here really don't.
Also: "What did you mean by wanting someone with half a brain?"
@@Osprey850 That's not a reflection on her guy. It just means that someone need not apply if he's a dumbass or thinks with his muscles. Remember, the personal ad is open for the world to read, so all sorts may respond.
It was the 70s man
I absolutely love this song. It almost makes me cry. I love Happy endings. 😊
Now I'm watching the video I'm starting to shiver after only the first verse.
Im so Glad God put me in the 70s . As a 70s Brat .
Probably the best twist ending song ever! This was the last #1 hit of the 70's in the USA. Another great twist ending song is "Diary" by Bread. 😊
Lol! The first time I heard "Diary" I was riding in my car. When it got to the end I yelled "NOOOOOO!!"🤣
The song was a massive hit because of the "if you like making love at midnight" line. One of the greatest hooks in music history. EVERYBODY loves that line. ;)
" this guy's a mess" lol that was perfect.
I remember when this came out, I thought I wouldn't hear it too much but would never forget the hook line, I never knew then it was his lady that he replied to and it's great to discover when you get older, kinda like the missing pieces of a puzzle you never bothered or knew how to work out
love this song. Takes me right back to my Sr. yr in HS
Geeez so many moons ago, but nice to hear this once or twice a year instead of every hour it seemed in 79
This song was a big hit all over the world. I heard it in Mexico and even in Canada. I work two years on an oil rig in Alaska and it was kicking over there.
Haven’t heard this in years ♥️ What a great song 😊
I love Lex's enthusiasm x
It's given me the dopamine rush I needed so many times to get one foot in front of the other x
It was the lady that placed the ad first and the one asking for someone with at least half a brain, which kind of implies that the guy in the song was stupid. When I was a kid I liked this song but never really paid much attention to the lyrics, it had a smooth sound and easy to sing along with.
Maybe, due to poor communication, she thought that about him but i think it shows they didn't really communicate well with each other so they didn't truly know much about each other; because they liked what each other wrote. Then, after meeting and having a real talk, they realized they didn't know these things about each other, which they were looking for all along. They were pleasantly surprised and decided to give it another go. Yeah, i probably made too much of it, ok? c'mon, back off, guys. I'm just trying to live and insert my bs, too.
This song damn near killed me. I was at a bar and this song came on. Well all started talking about Pina Colada so we all got one. Here is the bad part. We all took a toast and took a drink. It was instant ice cream headache. Damn near put 3 of us down. Be careful folks.
😆😆🤘😭
I've never had that happen with a Pina Colada, thank goodness. It does happen often with my smoothies though. I'm guessing that 's a sign.
Smoothies gets me too. Someone told me if you rub your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Haven't tried it yet but really l will because ice cream headaches are the worst.
@@kesleycottrell1416 I always do that. It helps but not much. It mainly just distracts you until your body heats warms up the cold spot.
If you drink something really cold and let it go directly to the roof of your mouth aka palate, then you get the dreaded brain freeze. But if you sip to the side of your mouth, under your tongue or use a straw to do the same, then you’re golden, of course if you chug some too quickly that’s not so easy! 😅🥶
One of the best of the era...Timeless...
The song makes you think the story is about a man unhappy in his relationship so he is looking for someone else. But the swerve of the song is that the problem wasn't the person he was with, it was a lack of communication.
Had the couple just been honest about the things they liked and wanted in a relationship, they could have avoided the whole thing and been happy the whole time.
And it took these events to wake them up.
The woman put the notice in the paper, and he responded.
@@armadillotoe Right, in the song he responds to the personal ad.
This makes the listener think the song is about a man unhappy in his relationship and so is looking for someone else.
The swerve is that the person he meets is his own lady who was unhappy as well, but they realize it was because of a lack of communication.
Anyway, interesting song, and catchy as well.
"monkey bar to someone else"..... I've never heard that one before!!!! hahaha :D
“She’s all healthy and stretching all the time.” 😂😂😂😂
Girl had been out there drinking champagne with other guys for some time.
Wife here..One of the coolest pop songs ever..Love the twist at the end..Sooo sweet
Totally brings back memories growing up in San Jose CA and had my first job when this came out after I graduated high school
This is a MamaLex bop..GUARANTEED! The late 70s and the entire 80s were the best time to grow up in musically.
This song was a mega hit for a LONG TIME. I think everyone’s heard it somewhere.
I only think of Guardians of the Galaxy when I hear this any more.
Her ad, the first, said she was Not into yoga!
This song was a big hit on the "easy listening" radio stations of 1979 and into the early 80's. Also, recall another song called "Afternoon Delight" and some songs by Carly Simon, Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow that had that same vibe.
"This guy's a mess!' LOL, Brad!
Love this song. Brings back great memories of the beach in So Cal in 79.
you know a song is dated when it is talking about personal ads in the paper! haha....have always loved the chorus of this song ..classic
He also wrote another charting song. "Timothy" by the Buoys. A song about cannibalism.
Remember the first lines of the song, it was HER that posted the add... she was the one that said "If you're not into yoga and you have half a brain". He responded to her add. At the time couples didn't communicate openly as much as they do now, so this song is a lesson about that. Catchy toon too. It played on the radio constantly when I was much younger.
"as much as they do now" Nice dream. Sorry, reality is still the same. *Some* people communicate, most don't. Communication is *hard*.
Brilliant chorus and a fun old song because it's not what you think and you have to listen all the way through.
Liked how you both smiled.
Ya'll need to watch those lyrics again... I love you guys grooving to the music by the way.
Such a great song.
When they say “if you have half a brain,” the “at least” is implied. In other words, it’s the minimum requirement, not a limit.
Communication is really important in a relationship.
It also has a little airplay in Shrek. Cute song.
It comes down to they were in a rut cuz they didn't realize what the other was thinking or wishing they had in their life. Need to communicate. 🙂
The whole point is they reconnected. Love love love
Yacht rock hit!
Gotta love yacht rock music
See? You cannot help but smile when you hear this song😊😊😊
There's a dope video of this that shows Rupert in all his glory...
I always felt that she set it up by having the newspaper on the bed hoping he would read the ad...lol
She was triflin around first!!!
That bar "O'Malley's" is a Real place on A1A near Miami/South Beach .. Seems Rupert hung out there quite a bit
Jerseys own Alcoholica AKA Rupert Holmes my uncle knows him he had a bar here in NY ironically 😆 in Manhattan between him and Jimmy buffet they really had this happy hour style of music in the '70s that is still popular to this day they have a loyal fanbase.
There is a famous story about a French couple that did grow old together. They never talked about which side of the breakfast bun they preferred though. They both just assumed that one liked the top and the other liked the bottom. When the subject finally came up, they had both assumed wrong. For a whole life. Communication is like... important. :)
I loce this song, but I have to admit thst when I first heard it st age 10, the story when way over my head. LOL. I just knew that the song was catchy and eadyvtoxsing along with. Cheers!
opening back-beat drum intro is de-lovely.
It’s about lack of communication. Sometimes we think our relationships have become stale and we don’t enjoy each other’s company anymore, when in reality, we’ve simply stopped communicating. Good song.
This song is such a guilty pleasure. I've always loved it.
Also another song called Key Largo by Bertie Higgins . it's this style as well .
I love this song i knew the outcome of this song it is one of my favorites.
This song was all over the radio back in the day.
Back in the day was them 70s
I had forgotten about this song. I always liked the surprise twist at the end.
I think you missed something here. She wrote the original ad and SHE liked Pina Coladas, loved the rain, didn't like yoga, and wanted someone that was smart (or had at least half a brain 😁). He responded with his own ad saying, "Yeah, I like Pina Coladas, getting caught in the rain ...". So, both of them were looking for something different, but their REAL problem was, a lack of communication, which is why MANY relationships fail. It sounds bad that both were looking elsewhere, but it seems like they were not married, and just coming to the conclusion that they were not happy, when all the time, they just didn't communicate, probably because they didn't want to make waves. What they learned in the end was, that's what makes a relationship work ... communicating.
you have the best reactions & I think you are the best couple i ever seen giving reactions! God Bless!!
the first time they do the ad in the paper it was her that posted it looking for someone else.
If you like piña coladas
And gettin' caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you like makin' love at midnight
In the dunes on the cape
Then I'm the love that you've looked for
Write to me and escape.
The second time it was his response to her ad
This is gonna be priceless! .. The expressions on your faces that is ...
"oh, it's you..." yeah, that's how it would go LoL
She wrote the first personal ad saying, "If you're not into yoga. If You have half a brain." So it was his girlfriend who first went behind his back looking for someone different, who was NOT a hippie health nut and who was NOT dumb as a door knob. She's saying that she wants someone who IS on the smart side and NOT dumb and who has common sense.
SHE is the one that put the first ad in, asking for someone who was NOT into yoga and stuff. He responded bc the ad matched his likes.
This song was Rupert Holmes' debut song. Not only that this song went all the way to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the very last week of December, 1979; but this song was the very last #1 hit song of the 1970s according to Billboard Magazine. What a way to end the 1970s with a cheesy, but yet a great pop song indeed!!!
Ultimately, it's about the benefits of honesty.
This song, and especially the video was pretty cheesy, but it was so damn catchy. The hook in the story is what made it a guilty pleasure for so many people. A song you hate to admit that you really like...
All I can think if when I hear this is the movie Dirty Work. They're about to have a bar fight and Chris Farley goes to the jukebox and says something like "Street fight man, G7!!!!!!!" Then someone says, "You just pressed G8". Then this song comes on and they have to have a bar fight to this song lol. R.I.P. Chris Farley.
You 2 are fun to watch your reactions 😊😊
the smile that this song put on your face is priceless!
Haha. I was just talking to my screen going “come on, get it, please get it” I was hoping to see the penny drop…but it didn’t. But you two are so cute anyway 👏🥰❤️
Way back in the early day when I first got on the interweb and found YT, someone had made a video to this song using The Sims 2. For the time it was very good and fit the song perfectly. It's still available on YT.
i see the song more as a hypothetical conversation that lovers have about what if he or she did this or that but in the end the love is there. philosophical.
The women he goes to meet was his women he had at home. They had been posting ads to each other whilst under the same roof... And learnt new things about one another.
I love this song... Never picked up on the lyrics too much until I started watching reactions 😅
They are like you. Perfect!
Really the song is about one thing... Communicating 😁
“And we laughed for a moment…” ummm they handled this better than I would’ve.
Thank you for sharing this with me
Everyone watching: don’t be mad at him too soon … just wait 😂😂
Love u Brad and Lex u r.awsome people
Marital Role-playing at it's highest level!
I’m old so I can help with that classic old expression “if you have half a brain” Back in the day (the 70s) it simply meant that you’re not a fool or an idiot or you’re mildly smart or wise. It was often used in relation to some kind of action and may also convey general ambition. Ie. “when he re-paints that truck if he has half a brain he’ll use 2 coats of primer”… So glad you guys reacted to this 70s classic tune. Cheers !
Love this song, classic 💛
I was so shocked when I saw a video with this singer. He is so nerdy he makes Weird Al Yankovik look like Keith Richards. Totally thought he would be this lounge lizard type.
*Millions of babies were conceived to this song.*
The whole point of the songs is that even when people live together, they can have terrible communication. However... in this instance... they both actually loved what each had to offer, even though neither of them outwardly knew it. Relationships are tough, and sometimes we as humans love each other, but fall out of love be cause we forget each other's passions.
Great song and end !
Yeah, Yoga was not the same back in the 70's as it is today! LOL! And it cracks me up that everyone is happy with the ending not realizing that these two where ready to cheat on each other! LOL!
"Him" from Rupert Holmes is so far superior- you owe it to yourselves to check it out!
