God this most be one of the most underplayed and unrated songs of the 80's.A true classic that no one hears or knows What a shame.
I agree, what a shame
This song was played many times a day on the local radio stations where I grew up (and I remember the video) in the 80s
I used to love playing this when I did the ice rink discos so many good memories
I have a music group on Facebook and one of our members who's also a dear friend triggered my memory of this song. It's a wonderful, joyful song and should have been absolutely huge.
Always preferred this to the bigger hit kiss me,shame it rarely gets airplay
Why don't we hear this on the radio anymore? Such a brilliant 80's track!
I don't know. I don't listen to the radio 😉
Try gem radio new wave out of Dublin, an Internet radio station .
I really hope you're kidding.
Totally forgot this song ! The 80s were the best days. ❤❤
Anyone listening in 2020 - still going strong! 👍
Why do you ask ?
Yes it’s still fantastic
hold my gin
Classic track from '85, still playing the 12" extended mix ❤️🎶👏🏽
2021 in June here.
That pre-chorus is lovely!
Totally agree!
Best bit
YES!
Jesus the 80s were great and so damn imaginative
i cannot believe i have found this again. It has brought me back to my childhood
Touche`
Love this song - this guy never got the success he deserved
He did as a producer, a songwriter and as a great musician.
Always reminds me of searching for our first house in 1985, with my then fiancee (now my wife of nearly 30 years), when her parents kept interfering with every stage of the process and with all the wedding plans. The words "I want to live with you, want to sleep with you in a house in a peaceful world" and "don't let them make you unhappy" carried particular force at that time.
SongofSolomon211 Who needs to hear your story? Just SHUT the FUCK up!
MrRhurbarb Harsh...
Congratulations on 30+ years! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Wishing you happiness.
I loved your history! Thanks for share!
MrRhurbarb has no love in his heart.
Song of Solomon211 Wow, you are so lucky to have wife that stay married for such a long time! Share us your story please.
Still sounds crisp and fresh today. He was such a cool pop star.
The original lead singer of Duran Duran.
Oh, my... I was only 17 and I fell in love with this music. Where are you now, spirit of these days?
we got old
That doesn't mean that The Spirit of those days is gone...
@@debkaszas9613 At least not yet...
@@ale290568 Do you feel old? I sure don't. I still feel that 18 year old inside my ❤️
This wonderful track emphasises just how catchy a tune can be. It's a perfectly composed pop song. It just doesn't get much better than this.
I miss the 80's so much!
VALTER AUGUSTO I’m too young to have been a young woman in the eighties but the fashion was hideous and the hairstyles on the women were a mass of frizzed perms yet the guys had lovely hair, thank goodness for hair straighteners and better hair products 😂
😄had so much fun with the black and white
What a fantastic record. Just stumbled over it looking for something else. Hadn't heard it for 30 years. Won't forget it again.
Though I can't imagine Duran Duran without Simon I could imagine Stephen being in the band also. Not room for two frontmen. Stephen is alarmingly talented and creative I listen to his music all the time from
tinkering in the garage on my old motorcycle to whipping up butter chicken. Thanks for the music Stephen and thanks to "The Rock" cheers Iain.
The bass track, synths and drums mixed perfectly. Just gorgeous
Epitome of 80's visuals.
Classic, never will forget this great 80’s song.
Whoever choreographed this video slays
Wicked isn't it. I must have watched it a zillion times
I love this song. I can still listen to this over and over...
I was hanging around the bars in Bangkok as a young man listening to this on my walkman, God, what memories, PRICELESS
horny man
This man is a genius
If he hadn't left Duran Duran
he was the original front man of duran duran ,. this is a superb single . which a lot of people dont no about .
One of those songs I can play over and over and over and still enjoy :)
The immaculately flawless "Icing On The Cake" from the very talented Mr Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy.
Couldn't agree with you more Jason. Perfect pop! Love the changes in tone throughout.
As a student of the 80s this is in my top 3. Awesome song and delivery. Legend Duffy ❤
Loved this gem from the 80s.
You know we GenXer’s experienced the best music ever: when in 2023, I am still finding undiscovered gems like this!
Nice song .Brings back memories of the wet summer of 1985.
Was it really? I had.a lovely week in Paignton in August that year and it didn't rain then 😀
@@neiltritschler608 It was a really bad summer here in Ireland. I remember seeing hay bales floating in floods of water. The Government had to issue grant aid to farmers because of the acute fooder disaster. But we pulled through thank God
All this songs were brilliant!!!! i LOVE “I Love You” as well
Thank you so much for sharing this 80's pearl with the world. Regards from Portugal.
LOVED this track, still high up on my playlist today.
Best thing about back then was that physical perfection had yet to become compulsory. I feel bad for those in the public eye today, we didn't care about crooked teeth and blemishes then, it was all about the music and the charisma. 👐
Touché. Another fav of mine is “if you leave” by orchestral manoeuvres in the dark 🥰🥰
I'm old n so wish i could go back to the 80s ! The best time of my life !!
One of my most favorite tracks! Always loved it and it needs to be played more!
June 1985 music, Remember looking outside on ( 18th) ,rain pouring 57F 14.c ,in south East uk. Song really cheers you up , when a year before such a nice summer ☀️!.
OMG this is a blast from the past
A time of creative music and videos. Game over.
Lyrical genius......
She was left on the steps of the DHSS? That's a rough start for anyone.
*V. Fashionable Video.*
Great song and a talented man. Thanks for posting!!!
🎂
Marvelous, 80's forever.
The Linn LM-1 and LinnDrum and Yamaha DX7 Sound Sources “ROM 128”B patch “Baby Bells” were heard in this song.
_TOTALLY AGREE, YOU CAN HEAR IT_
Played this song sooooooooo much this past few months. Love it!!!
He's gorgeous and a great song too....pardon me while I go off and drool! Hehe!
Birminghams finest 🙂
I was just a baby when this was released however I remember watching the music video on vh1 when I was in primary school age I danced to it quite a bit back then it is still one of my favorite tunes :) the 80s had the best music.
Love this song so much. Takes me back to the mid 80s
One of the greatest videos of the era...
Heard this as the tiniest sample on Homes under the Hammer when the presenter referred to ‘the icing on the cake’! I hadn’t heard it for 30 years. I’m heavily into rock/blues rock but this song brings back great memories and I can appreciate how clever, tuneful and damn catchy this is!!
Such fine lyrics and who needs ultra High Definition with dazzling videos like this demonstrating we were way ahead of our time already needing only a sharp sense of creativity anyway.
Haven't heard this in ages! Another anthem of my high school days....
this shoulda been bigger.
couldn't agree more
It got to #14 in the charts in 1985... In 2018 that would deemed as a "flop" - but in 1985, #14 was still considered a respectable placing
a superb song, the follow-up to kiss me. i brings back great memories.
My brother got me hooked on this song. I was in year 11 at high school. I’m 54 now and STILL love it. 🥰
Wehe! I'm 53 and feel exactly the same. I still dance around my house to it 38 years later 😊
A true forgotten gem.
the mosr underated song of the decade .
A reluctant pop star who became Britain's best singer-songwriter!
Gave up looking for this tune on youtube..thank you so much.... love this song..happy memories :]]]]
So glad I was starting in my teens in July 1980 as I had the joy of loving so much different music what a time.
Forgot all about this song. Reminded by hearing it on the radio this morning. Good tune.
Great song. I have 'The Ups and Downs...', every song is perfect.
One of those songs mankind should learn so much - in terms of better.
absolutely out standing!!such a tallent! should have been huge
He was in a Supergroup in 1996 with Alex James (Blur) and Justin Welch (Elastica) called Me Me Me and reached number 19 with ‘Hanging Around’
Feel happy to listen this song, thanks for your uploaded. This was so nice song to wipe out disappointed
I have been trying to find this freaking song for thirty years! I couldn't remember what it was called or who sang it until yesterday, for some reason, I found it. Takes me right back to East Anglia circa 1985...
thats a great result, ROBERT. i been playing this song every week since the advent of you tube. its just amazink.
Who gives a SHIT how long you have been playing it? Why can't people just enjoy the song and SHUT THE FUCK UP?
dude i think i get why you call yourself mr rhubarb. odd though that you didnt choose to call yourself mr chip on yer shoulder. bitter little fool
I know which type of reply I'd rather read in a comments section - ones like the OP. MrHumbug can go do one.
Robert Boyer glad you found it M8
Yup. Since 1986!! Checking back on it cause the world needs tin tin again!! Tour baby !! Salt Lake City! The Wave 103.1FM
This is in my top 10 80's. Thank you for posting.
Now That’s What I Call Music! 5 bought me here
A lesser-known fact about Stephen Duffy is he was the frontman for Duran Duran before Simon LeBon.
Yep
He made a lot of money from his later work with Robbie Williams, apparently.
Correct!
Such a great memory and local lad too
Thank you for posting this video - it makes me feel old but it IS brilliant and takes me right back.
Cheers.
I loved, loved, loved this song and still do! And still know the lyrics... I was 14 these days... ;-)
Music lessons in school always used songs by people we (as students in the 80s) didn't listen to; songs from the 60s mainly. A new teacher put this on a record player...in class...while it was still in the charts (!!!).
2014 and here we are… genius track
on hols sat round the pool with a beer in fuerteventura and this randomly came on , first time ive heard it in 25 years + ..happy days
wwoooww... so 80's!!!! Miss so much those days...good memories !!!! Thanks for this one... :-)
Happy memories...
The whole album was and is brilliant. The Ups and Downs is a must, even now; even if only for Wednesday Jones.
Great bassline on this.
Visually stunning and very creative. I wonder who conceived the video?
Whoever coregraphed this video was a genius. Impeccable concept and dancing!
I had no idea this was Stephen Tin Tin Duffy! I only ever knew the chorus. ::rushes off to iTunes::
I have not heard this in over 30yrs nor did I remember it in that time...I had totally forgotten what the verses sounded like
The most underated song of the decade .or should i say .the past TWO.
WTF there are 3 different basses used in this song. Keyboard for the ostinato in the verse, fretted for the slapped bass in the chorus and a fretless fill going into the pre chorus. Pretty sophisticated.
Beautiful! Thank you! This was my absolute favourite track from one of my fave albums of all time. I just found The Ups and Downs after over 15 years of hunting high and low for a CD version and listened to it exclusively for the first week after it arrived.
The sound quality on this is amazing and it's so great to see it again after all these years. Thanks so much!
Fab song!! i remember being 4 and my dad had an 80's hits video and this was on there
Still loving this in 2024!
went on to make sublime music with The Lilac Time :o)
Those days I spent in the Bangkok bars listening to this on my sony walkman on the way....... pure growing up experience
Classic! Love it. Granted, Kiss Me was his true dance hit, Kiss that Kiss was huge in Orlando, Fl back in the day. That is another great song.
Ooops, too much wine... I meant, Unkiss That Kiss.
Kiss Me has a 12"lp dance version.
He was the first Duran Duran lead singer.
He left them in 1979.
Why?
I was 17 when this single came out fell in love with it,to this day it's still my favourite song of all time. Had a record player for Christmas the first single I played on it this one 😁
I remember when it first came out, played it nonstop and even the lads I hung around with loved it too. Lol
This song just makes me so, so, so happy.
My brother had the 12 inch remix of this . I still love it in 2023 👍🥰
I just realized today that Stephen has like 10 Lilac Time albums out alone, over the years, and I've heard almost none of them.
I need to track down most of them, including the new one, which I heard was great. It's criminal, I'd never been able to
find them in NY here. Maybe Tower Records once stocked them, but I'm not sure. It doesn't matter now, since Tower
is long gone.
Love the b-side to this too, a great pair of recordings
Wow, I'd forgotten about this one!! Thanks for sharing. ;) x
thats what i call 80s
I so love this song❤high school days....
Oh I loved this song from early '85 in the UK singles charts.
One of my favourite songs from my early adolescence.☺️
