I remember the first time I heard New Order. It was '85 or '86, which is when they got some notoriety in the States outside clubland. A guy I worked with was always raving about them and I told him that I wasn't impressed by them (not the way I was impressed by Joy Division) because to me they sounded like everybody else. Dude looked at me and said, _"you've got it backwards. It's everyone that sounds like them."_ Took me a couple of years to understand what that meant, but by '88 I was using Type IV Metal tapes for their music.
Everyone at the club would flock to the dance floor when this song came on... no matter what club, what type of music they played...when Blue Monday came on... goth/punk/whatever..we all danced.
So true, back in late 80's I used to dj in some bars. This was my goto song to pack the floor, I would then follow it up with Company B-Fasinacted to step it up. I had them girls in their white heels, acid wash jeans and foot tall fair dancing away.
I was 16 in 1983 and my brother in law made me a mix tape with Blue Monday on it abd when i heard it i was thinking WTF! Listening to that track over and over that day i thought my life couldn't get any better👊 And it hasn't really🤣
I was in England when it came out. Heard it in a nightclub and was absolutely stunned. As a 'faithful' follower of JD and all of NO's records up until then, it seemed like a monumental leap into a future no-one knew the band had in them. Immediately went out and bought the 12". Still have it to this day. :-)
I've still got that original 12" too...are the labels on the vinyl on the wrong sides? I've got all those N.O. records from the 80's...on the run-outs on the vinyl, there was always a written message.
@@mana3735 Hi, just had a look and no, my labels are correct. The run-out says "Strawberry Out Voted!" Apparently, "Out Voted" refers to an error made by the Strawberry engineer, who brought up the fader too late and missed the first drumbeat. New Order took a vote as to whether the mistake should stay, and the yes vote prevailed. :-)
@@DavidInSugarLand There was a batch of Blue Monday records that went out with the inner labels on the wrong wides...I've got one of those! I don't think they're worth anything, though. I'm gonna have to dig out all my N.O records now...just to read the messages!
Had the opportunity meet Gillian and Stephen and they were brilliant. Lovely couple, told her how much of an inspiration she was to me, she got so flattered.
Blue Monday is a classic iconic song that will always play. It will forever be identified to the 80s. I saw New Order three times in the Summer of 2019. They are fantastic, live.
I've seen them a couple of times recently. It's so sad to see how they've fallen, nothing more than their own tribute band nowadays. The joy of seeing New Order back in the day was how absolutely ramshackle they could be, they're now so perfect and bland it's just not the same.
I first saw NO live at Blackburn King George’s hall in the mid 80s, brilliant gig .Saw them several times since but not recently within the past 10 years. Would be interested to see them now but I’d imagine they’re too professional as compared to their younger selves. Also saw them at Gmex festival of the 10th Anniversary of punk in 1986 where they headlined and first heard BLT live . One of the best gigs of my life.
New Order, if you guys are reading this- you changed the world! One of the best songs of ALL TIME, it's been with me through good times, bad times, and helped me push myself in extremely challenging circumstances
Was in Manchester some years ago, checking the night life. This song was played in every damn club we went to. After all these years. Good job, I'd say!
I like Temptation, Perfect Kiss, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Thieves like us, regret, blue Monday, 1963 touched by the hand of God, err i think i really love them all.. After all these years, i still do.
This song change the direction of music I would listen to. I was a drum and guitars type of music and didn't think electronic music was any good. This opened my eyes.
What a brilliant song. Not a connoisseur by a mile, but the song came to me in the layers that the writer was describing as gears. Hence me looking it up. So good. Thanx
I listen to this song constantly. Usually while mountain biking on rough trails and the volume spiked. But, then again I was listening to it the same way back in the 80's.
Blue monday in Wonder Woman 1984 Blue Monday in Ready Player One Blue Monday in Atomic Blonde Blue Monday in Black Ops: Cold War Blue Monday in Deutschland 83 Blue Monday in GTA VC Stories This song is definitely the world of Music
Joy Division was the clay that formed the statue known as New Order and Blue Monday was the track that did it. It has stood the test of time like no other dance track in the history of music and it stands atop a mountain of music that has made New Order the greatest pop group performing today.
When Blue Monday came on I went over to my mate who was the DJ in a club in Melbourne Australia called The Underground and said what is this track it's out of this world. The sound was mind blowing and nearly 40 years later it still sounds incredible. Thank you New Order love you guys so much !
I remember hearing it on the radio, the same day went to the record shop to buy it. They said who. I told them it was going to be massive and could they order it in for me. Had to wait a week lol
I was in Spain that summer and every club, every bar, every night belting out Blue Monday. Sitting on the balcony late at night Blue Monday wafted out into the warm night air, fantastic.
Hi there, I´m Thorsten from Germany, that time "blue monday" came over to Germany, the " new German wave" huge and nearly no english song was in our Charts. Your Song broke that eara in a way that never happened before I would say. I wanna say thanks for these super sounding moments in school paries, discotheques and still listening on my Phone. Thanks to you all and thanks for all yout great songs.
My wife isn’t much for clubs and noise and dancing, but New Order compilations, especially this song are her fave horizontal tango soundtrack, therefore mine too.
It changed the way I feel about music from the the very first hearing. It is a bit of a singularity. It is pure joy to hear these interviews from the band.

What can I say? The state of the art, a unique and rare piece in the whole 80's panorama. I love this piece but even more I love everything that comes out of these guys, you are my personal soundtrack ... I run to listen to me Academic extended mix !!!
Alphaville " Dance with Me " Bronski Beat " Smalltown Boy " The Cult " She sells " & " Rain " ... The 12' list could go on, more innocent time, and before the assault on humanity that is the internet age
My daughter, a couple of friends and i, we play this song, the '88 original version. It took some time to extract every element in the song and be able to play in the correct way and with the correct sounds for every element. And yes, it still sound as if written yesterday or last year. This song was the #1 in my spotify recap for year 2.023.
Was 1985 ,13 years old .. radio i heard, .blue monday ..boom ,i jump ..of joy .. remenber i miss you n order. .from ..brasil South América thanks neworder 2020🎈🇧🇷😷👏👏
Always New Order will lead us for 80' Magic. We were enjoy every friday night in Dark amaizing club in Tel Aviv. To listen New order was a real cermony. Miss the 80.. to sad. Moti From Israel Shabat Shalom
This song definitely got me into the band! I was a Freshman in HS. The best memories surround this song. A friend and I were fortunate to meet Bernard on the set of Baywatch for Top of the Pops for the release of Regret! Still one of my favourite N.O. songs! He was super cool to us and talked to us for awhile. He asked us if we liked,” New Order?” We replied Yes, but said we were fans of, “The Cure!!”😂not to let on that we also were fans of New Order! Quite strangely, recently I’ve been listening to the album Technigue. An aIbum I never gave a chance too, but seriously digging and enjoying daily. New Order definitely stands the test of time. My daughter who is a Jr in HS loves the band as well. We both agree to listen to them in the car and they are on our mother/daughter play list! Such a great band and the best driving music!
Matthew Ford BLT is #1 for me, even though the music video for TPK has such a legendary last half, the vocals are off for me and lower in the list a bit imo
Absolutely love New Order. Their Power, Corruption and Lies album is brilliant. I also managed to solve the colours inside their albums and translated them into text.
It got air play...on college radio...that's where I heard it and everyone else heard it but I was the one who found that giant floppy disc and still own it to this day...that and Power, Corruption and Lies changed everything. They opened the door to so many bands and inspired just as many more. The 80's were a truly terrible time but the music was a big part of what helped us get through it.
Unlike most in the comments, the first time I heard this song was playing GTA Vice City Stories. Since then I always loved the track, the multiple beats, Lyrics and the tone of voice makes you keep the track on constant replay.
I actually was the DJ playing the record the first time I heard Blue Monday in a club. A friend had got hold of a white label and I was a New Order fan, so I just put it on pretty much blind. I heard the rapid fire kick drum in my cueing headphones and thought I had it on at the wrong speed as the previous single, 'Temptation' played at 33. That was in March 1983 and god knows how many times I've heard it since. But it didn't exist in isolation. If you'd been listening to the more electronic end of disco, the clues were there - particularly in Patrick Cowley's productions.
It's the relentless drive of the track.. It's just as compelling now (2020) as when it was released. Still love it, still listen to it! Thank You New Order!
This record together with radio activity ,which I heard when it came out ( I lived in Koln in 75,76) , shaped the electronic area. And both songs are linked of course...
2 tracks I always asked the DJ in Busters Nightclub in Coventry back in the 80s...this one and Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus. Both absolute classics. 👍
Blue Monday will ALWAYS sound like the future of music, no matter what decade it's played.
totally, it's a timeless song.
Totally 🎉
Ironic you say this, because in 2023 house producers are still sampling 70's disco. smh
I remember the first time I heard New Order. It was '85 or '86, which is when they got some notoriety in the States outside clubland. A guy I worked with was always raving about them and I told him that I wasn't impressed by them (not the way I was impressed by Joy Division) because to me they sounded like everybody else. Dude looked at me and said, _"you've got it backwards.

Simply the greatest song ever made

BLUE MONDAY has the electronic dance influence from Disco
The longest dance ever too. We were so sweaty. After go outside and smoke a clove😂 80’s🙌
If you're human you like blue Monday
This is a prime example of how great the music was in the 1980's, the time when New Wave music came out and all of them are great.
New Wave came out in the 70 s originally
Incredibly musically spoiled but we had no idea
It was unbelievable. Actually the 70s and 80s in addition to the clubs had an atmosphere that was out of this world. Nothing today like it.
@@warrenbfeagins That's true. If only time travel is possible, that's the era I would like to visit and probably stay for quite some time.
Yes Gillian, it absolutely still sound's fresh when you play it, and it always will!

I have a chance to see them this October at the Hollywood Bowl and I cannot wait!
blue Monday is one of the best songs ever period.
No matter how young or old you are.
How old school or new school people are.
You just know that ‘Blue Monday’ is good and never gets old.
EXACTLY!!!!
New Order, if you guys are reading this- you changed the world! One of the best songs of ALL TIME, it's been with me through good times, bad times, and helped me push myself in extremely challenging circumstances

Berlin nightclub or Australian outback travelling, it fits everywhere.
New Order and Erasure blew my mind and changed my life back in the day.
I like Temptation, Perfect Kiss, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Thieves like us, regret, blue Monday, 1963 touched by the hand of God, err i think i really love them all.. After all these years, i still do.
They're all good. Truth Faith has a special place in my heart.
So, basically you're a casual who just bought their greatest hits.
@@thadonis. bugger off elitist
video version of Perfect Kiss is perfect and superior to LP/Single versions
New Order is the soundtrack of my life. Love these guys and what they did for music back then and for the future.
This song change the direction of music I would listen to. I was a drum and guitars type of music and didn't think electronic music was any good. This opened my eyes.
I don't know if anyone from New Order will read this but with this song and a few others you completely changed my life..
What a brilliant song.
Not a connoisseur by a mile, but the song came to me in the layers that the writer was describing as gears.
Hence me looking it up. So good. Thanx
*Technique* will always be peak New Order for me. I just love that record from start to finish.
I listen to this song constantly. Usually while mountain biking on rough trails and the volume spiked. But, then again I was listening to it the same way back in the 80's.
Nice that they finally got Gillian to talk.
Blue monday in Wonder Woman 1984
Blue Monday in Ready Player One
Blue Monday in Atomic Blonde
Blue Monday in Black Ops: Cold War
Blue Monday in Deutschland 83
Blue Monday in GTA VC Stories
This song is definitely the world of Music
You forgot the intro of "Deutschland 83".
Also GTA VC
Ghivi Fahmi *GTA VC Stories*
The song itself could also ask us all, “How does it feel? To treat me like you do (putting me in so many movies and games/events)
And 99% of those people have never hear of Clan of Xymox give, (Stranger) by them a listen shame they never made it big.
Love seeing Gillian on the best studio of them all with all her modular gear behind...

The song that changed ELECTRONIC DANCE music.
Other songs before Blue Monday have also an impact on the electronic dance music. Song like Donna Summer - I Feel Love and Visage - Fade to Grey.
ESSA BANDA VAI FICAR NA HISTÓRIA
GRANDES SUCESSOS DOS ANOS 80 E 90 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It’s on my playlist and I can listen to it everyday to get anything done I need to do.
I Feel Love by Donna Summer in 1977 was ground zero for what Blue Monday later became.
Agreed. Donna Summer did the real work..both awesome though.
Electronic type of Disco was the influence
On my bucket list.....
Having tea with Gillian and Stephen.
What can I say? The state of the art, a unique and rare piece in the whole 80's panorama. I love this piece but even more I love everything that comes out of these guys, you are my personal soundtrack ... I run to listen to me Academic extended mix !!!
The quintessential kings of electronic.no one will or can replace New Order
At a synth convention, a guy had a Linn Drum, doing the dum dum dubba dubba dubba dubba...
I jumped on a synth, and played the bassline.
Great memory.
I bought the 12” single version of Blue Monday. It is an iconic piece of music.
Alphaville " Dance with Me " Bronski Beat " Smalltown Boy " The Cult " She sells " & " Rain " ... The 12' list could go on, more innocent time, and before the assault on humanity that is the internet age
Fond memories dancing to Blue Monday at the Palladium in San Francisco in the 80’s. I’ve never seen NO live, but definitely on my bucket list!
Glad to see Peter Hook in this! I wish him and Bernie would just bury the darn hatchet already..
Bernie is too busy with US politics. Barney on the other hand....
@@RollrightKnights :P
@@RollrightKnights I think US politics is even beyond Bernie’s hands/capabilities, these days 😭

Blue Monday, The Beach and Confusion... amazing!
In my opinion Blue Monday was the real 80s hit and still is a big song
New Order always did a brilliant job with their songs!

New Order my favorite band of all time
Blue Monday was the best song of the 80's ! " I still find it so hard , to say what I mean to say " 🎶
There was no single song of the 80's that was "the best", such a thing simply isn't possible.
This song definitely got me into the band!
I was a Freshman in HS. The best memories surround this song. A friend and I were fortunate to meet Bernard on the set of Baywatch for Top of the Pops for the release of Regret! Still one of my favourite N.O. songs!
He was super cool to us and talked to us for awhile. He asked us if we liked,” New Order?” We replied Yes, but said we were fans of, “The Cure!!”😂not to let on that we also were fans of New Order!
Quite strangely, recently I’ve been listening to the album Technigue. An aIbum I never gave a chance too, but seriously digging and enjoying daily. New Order definitely stands the test of time. My daughter who is a Jr in HS loves the band as well. We both agree to listen to them in the car and they are on our mother/daughter play list! Such a great band and the best driving music!
I must admit I also discarded Technique soon after buying it. Recently I've been listening to it again, especially Weirdo.
That is too cute!
This is one of greatest world songs,👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a fantastic tune.........in the 80s as soon as this tune came on ,everybody was on the dance floor...great times..
Blue Monday is great, but The Perfect Kiss my fav
The Perfect Kiss is the best 12" record of the 80's IMHO
I agree 👌
I agree with you
Same! And bizarre Love Triangle
Matthew Ford BLT is #1 for me, even though the music video for TPK has such a legendary last half, the vocals are off for me and lower in the list a bit imo
I called it retro classic.. Absolutely great world of music.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
One of my all time favorite songs❤️❤️❤️❤️
My pirate station was called radio blue monday. Started every broadcast with this song.
Blue Monday: The national anthem of night clubs.
Everyone... got up... off to the dance floor.
The humbleness is awesome
Absolutely love New Order. Their Power, Corruption and Lies album is brilliant. I also managed to solve the colours inside their albums and translated them into text.
Thankyou for Blue Monday and many others.
Blue Monday is timeless.
I love these people.. They 're so beautiful!
It got air play...on college radio...that's where I heard it and everyone else heard it but I was the one who found that giant floppy disc and still own it to this day...that and Power, Corruption and Lies changed everything. They opened the door to so many bands and inspired just as many more. The 80's were a truly terrible time but the music was a big part of what helped us get through it.
When I first heard this song I was 22 at the time I went nuts I got the single the 12 inch single and the album it brought the 80s alive for me
Got the 12" bought it back in the 80's
Unlike most in the comments, the first time I heard this song was playing GTA Vice City Stories. Since then I always loved the track, the multiple beats, Lyrics and the tone of voice makes you keep the track on constant replay.
So choice. I love New Order. Everything Bernard has touched is a staple of my playlists.
Hi from Honduras,jaja era un adolescente teenager esto y Depeche modelos cambio la forma de ver la vida
Some music does not need promotions. It just works so well to become top by itself.
Till this day, people will RUN to the dance floor when this song comes on in the clubs!!! It's one of those timeless songs that'll NEVER die!!!!!
I lived in the club's in the eighties. Still amazing.
No matter where you are, when this song starts, you need to get up and dance!
I still have my 1983 12" pressing of Blue Monday in the original sleeve... much loved, much cared for... And I quite like The Beach too...
That shit was HOT. You had to be on the dance floor EVERYTIME the DJs banged it.🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🕺🏿
My favourite song of all time ❤️🙂 how intensively not matching the elderly age in this video, but only the eternal youth
In past 30 years, every DJ on planet had/have Blue Monday track.
In 100 years this would be thought in schools as "classical music"
Traveling back from london back in the 80's, junc 34 M1 and THIS came on Radio 1. Sits up there in my top 10 D.I.Ds

But it didn't exist in isolation. If you'd been listening to the more electronic end of disco, the clues were there - particularly in Patrick Cowley's productions.
Blue Monday, Perfect Kiss and Temptation are my favs. from New Order.
Anyone else just want to take them out for a beer? So cool and lovable.
I saw them 5 times during the eighties great band.Its still fresh today.....
Blue Monday just has the ~it~ that makes it rise above other electronica songs
It's the relentless drive of the track.. It's just as compelling now (2020) as when it was released. Still love it, still listen to it! Thank You New Order!
How good is this? I know I'll never get tired of hearing it, come to think of it, it's the same with their other great tunes 👍
I remember hearing this back in the day and thinking: this is the future of music. Now it's in the past.
It still sounds futuristic to me.
It had power in its beat and the Gregorian chants were a master-stroke.
New Order, músicas que marcaram minha vida!!!
Best 80’s song ever!!!!
This record together with radio activity ,which I heard when it came out ( I lived in Koln in 75,76) , shaped the electronic area. And both songs are linked of course...
Blue Monday a song to change history
2 tracks I always asked the DJ in Busters Nightclub in Coventry back in the 80s...this one and Bela Lugosi's Dead by Bauhaus.
Both absolute classics. 👍
