The first concert I ever went to... 15yo with friends an hour away from home, staying with some college friends at the college the concert was at... great times :)
the GO-GOs were EVERYTHING in the early 80s! they barreled onto the scene in 81 with this & had 3 solid years of killer hits before imploding in late 84-85. (psst... those fun all American girls were playing a part, cuz IRL they tols us later that that they were heavy drug users/addicts... the white stuff was sniffed frequently.. of & they were basically raving nymphos). the stuff that legends are made of! their discography is brilliant. quintessential early-80s. theyve had a hit or 2 during their reunions/regrouping, but they basically burned hot & fast then burned out. but they were MASSIVE during their run & I loved them!(& luckily by time they ran out of steam, I had already fallen for Madonna & no one else really mattered) & lead singer Belinda had a decent solo career in the late 80s for a few years with a handful of hits. then it was back to reunions & reforming the band, lather rinse repeat ..when they were good, they were VERY VERY good... but when they were bad they were (admittedly) awful.. ahh the 80s 💙 #GenX
The word you were looking for was "memorable." I love the Go Go's, and this is my favorite of their songs. Another great one is Vacation. Also We've Got the Beat.
You need The Bangles in your life. Official video for Hazy Shade of Winter. Also, as long as you want to go down this road of all female bands, The Runaways (muhaha), and some Joan Jett will probably rock your world. 😬
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019- the first and still only all girl band to write/play their own songs to have a #1 album for 6 weeks. They came out just as MTV launched- and it was a match made in heaven. Their manager was also the manager of the Police- huge at the time- the Go Go's were just breaking through... the Police had $6,000 dollars left over from one of their video shoots, so the manager gave it to the girls and they made this- they thought of it as a joke- MTV hadn't started when they filmed this... they have said they were trying to get arrested in the fountain- but no one cared. This song was written by Jane- the one who sings the "Hush my darling' part...she wrote it with a member of the Specials who she had an affair with during their tour of England with the Specials and Madness in 1980....
Belinda Carlisle does have s unique and instantly recognizable voice. Jane Wiedlin is the other one singing. The Go-Go's were the first all girl band to write their own music. They were huge in the eighties.
Yes you should listen to more Go-Go's songs as well as Belinda's solo hits even Jane had a few hits the girl singing solo in the car with the dark hair they officially are not a full time band anymore but they do get together from time to time but they were probably the biggest all girl pop group before a spice girls came into view in the 90s😊
this came out in December 1981 it reached number 5 on the charts in Australia if you were a teenager back then you would know this song by now if you're if you're in your 50's
It was the first all-female groups to come out during the new wave era in the 1980’s. Belinda Carlisle went on to a solo career, and they fell apart. Do you remember “Heaven is a place on earth” that you reacted to? That’s her. They were a bunch of feel good music, which was a nice change as M-Tv took off. LOVE THEM!! They we so good in concert!
Forgot to mention, the dark haired one that sang the little solo in the car is Jane Wiedlin and she also did solo work and had a Top 10 hit called "Rush Hour" which is also really good.
You should also check out the Fun Boy Three version. The lead singer of that band co-wrote this song with the guitarist of the Go Go's (the girl who sang the bridge.) Not as popular worldwide as the Go Go's version, but it went to top 10 in the UK.

And react to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey please.
All this knowledge, coming from a young guy who's used to hearing flat, boring, mechanically produced 'music', listened to through tiny, tinny, flat sounding ear buds..he finally heard a song with real instruments, a song with chord changes, sung by a singer with no need for auto tune. Way to go, buddy! Nice pick. Check out The Go Go's catalog, and read about their history and place in pop music. They are impressive indeed, and so is your open mind!
other great Go Go's- 'We Got the Beat', "Vacation' "Head over Hills'..,. Belinda Carlisle's first solo hit- "Mad About You' was actually written for the group- but they broke up and Belinda kept the song for herself.
Most songs of this quality include a bridge or that extra bit that commonly sounds like a detour. The car is a classic car type that some people own so you really can't use that for a year. In the background are store fronts. You can see how cool it is for video production to have this car. Most films or videos are produced with a script, storyboard, needed props, locations and in this case a vehicle. I don't know if the street needed to be closed for filming. The copy you are seeing looks old because it may be a copy of a copy of the original video. And you are seeing it with HDTV. or computer screen.
The lead singer is Belinda Carlisle. You watched the video of her #1 solo hit "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" already. There was about 7-8 years in between this one and that one, and she lost weight and went for a more glamorous look compared to the Go-Go's more punk rock vibe.
This song was co-written by Jane Wiedlin (The Go Go’s) and Terry Hall (The Specials and Fun Boy Three). I personally prefer the Fun Boy Three version. Terry Hall contributed so much to music including Ska, you should take a look at his discography. He is sadly missed! RIP Terry 🕯
Chase, you mentioned The Go-Go's must not be too well known because they "only" have 97,000 subscribers. On RUclips some of these big channels "buy" subscribers in bulk. The numbers are not always what they seem. However, the number of views on this video speaks for itself. Also, these ladies are at least in their mid 60's now. I get that you're pretty young but try not to make assumptions based on RUclips numbers.
My friend, I love that you're discovering all this "new" music, and I love your reactions to it all, but I feel like you're going way too fast. Slow down, buddy. You don't have to discover and react to everything all at once. It's a joy to watch you find and discover new music, but don't push yourself. We're your fans, and we're with you on this journey. 🙂
🤣😂 yeah you can go lick something The over dramatic efforts by these channels who hear or claim to hear a song for a first time is as lame as anything 😋😋😋😋
growing up in the 80's, every girl in high school wanted to look like a member of the Go Go's! And that's not a bad thing!
You've heard the lead singer, Chase... that's *Belinda* *Carlisle* (who you just reacted to). 🙅♀🙅♀🙅♀🙅♀🙅♀ This group was huge. I still love them!
The first concert I ever went to... 15yo with friends an hour away from home, staying with some college friends at the college the concert was at... great times :)
You couldn't say the 80's without mentioning the GO Go's

Chase the lead singer is Belinda Carlisle whom you recently reacted to her solo hit 'Heaven is a place Earth'
I was 16 when this came out, so much was happening in music back then, doesn't seem to be any innovators anymore and we need that.
The word you were looking for was "memorable." I love the Go Go's, and this is my favorite of their songs. Another great one is Vacation. Also We've Got the Beat.
I still have the 7 inch vinyl picture disk of this song, plus watched Belinda Carlisle last week supporting Rick Astley…..she still has it
You need The Bangles in your life. Official video for Hazy Shade of Winter. Also, as long as you want to go down this road of all female bands, The Runaways (muhaha), and some Joan Jett will probably rock your world. 😬

❤✌🏻👍🏻❤️
Jane Wiedlin was singing in the back of the car when the melody changed, she has a single out call Rush Hour. Very popular song when it came out.
You reacted to lead singer Belinda Carlisle's hit single (Heaven on earth) after she went went solo, recently.
check out the great documentary (2018 "The Go Go's") on them- from their punk roots to they Broadway musical using their songs.
I love Alex the Seal.

And react to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey please.
They had 2....maybe 3 albums to my knowledge. So, they weren't really around that long. I loved them in the 9th grade (1981-82).
