Lyrics:
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter

Susanna Hoffs side eye glance will forever melt my heart.
One of the greatest music moves ever!
Never thought anyone could do this song justice since Simon and Garfunkel's original is absolutely phenomenal. HOWEVER this is just as phenomenal. I love both versions.
God damn i miss the 80's. what a great time to be alive
It was the best time!! ❤
Yes it was!!!
Not really, but it's a nice to look back at the good times
@@davidrich7678 exactly David. It’s much better today when people don’t even know what gender they are anymore. 🙄
I was just a kid, but I agree and know what you mean.
That little smile that Suzanne throws off ❤❤❤❤ 80's crush
80's crush, 90's crush, 2000's crush, 2010's crush, 2020's crush, and then some.
Isn't her first name "Susanna"? (Susanna Hoffs, if I'm not mistaken)
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 yes
She's awesome. All of them are cool but I will say the lead guitarist comes off a little annoying to me. She tries to do all these "I'm rockin' out!" poses as if she's playing Barracuda or Immigrant Song and it appears a little silly on a pop song like this.
@@WithaJoeFro That's because you do not know the backstory to what was going on in the band and what eventually led to them breaking up. Susanna Hoffs was being "groomed" by producers as the lead, the face of the band (which, I might rightly point out, was a good decision, she is by far the most charismatic, as most will agree) - but the other band members could not accept that and that led to fracturing, posturing, and the whole "only me" syndrome that eventually broke the band up.
Fair play to the band for taking the huge risk of doing a cover version of a classic song and doing it right. They've orchestrated it very well and it still stands up even after thirty odd years.
And then and now it's one of the best covers of a SnG song ever recorded. The band Rehab out of Georgia did a GREAT version of Sound of Silence. Beats the hell outta the Disturd version.
@@ericjohn8466 excuse me,Disturd?? I get you don't like disturbed,but that's a huge disrespect to the cover they made which is regardless one of the best songs they've made even if it was a cover
@@giltyakhtar and if a cover song is one of the best songs theyve ever done shows me you have the musical depth of the parking lot puddle. Not for nothing, their grandkid's grandkids are gonna be millionaires. I think Draiman is one of the worst frontmen and beyond self serving with his brothers and sistera schtick on stage and then he goes and ruins a classic.
Beautiful song x
Suzanna Hoffs has held up amazingly well after 30 years as well. She’s still gorgeous.
That guitar riff.
That drum fill.
That everything.
The Bangles are sooo hot.
And yet most people only know them for "Walk Like An Egyptian". Fucking shame, I'd say. This songs proves they were criminally under-rated. So much wasted potential.
The descending baseline that leads into the chorus.
@@HanHeldit's not their song though.but I prefer it to the original
@@HanHeld Don't forget about "Walking down your Street"--their best song, IMHO
I've never been a fan of pop music. But damn pop music in the 80s was so much better. People knew how to play an instrument.
Thats a rock and roll song !!!
@@quesadag Nah it's P0P....but good P0P
Lets all go back to the 80s and stay there
I never left 😢
@@josebro352 I live back in the 82 lol
Yes!!! 80s rule!
Sorry, but life is about moving forward, and not dwelling on the past--so get over yourself, and live your current life to the fullest! ...Besides, who says the 80s were so great?!? Some of us might say the 60s-70s were better, at least in terms of legendary music--as opposed to light-weight pop songs of later generations.
I've been stuck in the 80's my WHOLE Life and has NO Plan to leave the greatest decade we've blessed with, Anytime Soon !!!
One of the greatest cover versions of any song ever. Never would have thought The Bangles could have done a late-80s Hard Rock/New Wave cover of a little-known Simon & Garfunkel song, but they did and it was brilliant.
You hit the nail on the head
its an awesome song to play in the fall... Autumn
Well the one thing these girls always had going was harmonies and that helps on ant Simon and Garfunkel tune
Strange when the cover is the version they play on the radio. So I thought this was the original didn't even know the other existed.
Oh I had no idea. It's like covers are where the real art expression appears
The best thing about RUclips is that you can re-live MTV days.
when mtv was worth a dam
ABSOLUTELY!!! THANK GOD FOR YOU TUBE!! THEY DIG A LOT OF GREAT MEMORIES!!!
Yeah.. And dreaming of a life that was much more simple.. When a all girl band could Rock!!
my first time for most of these, we couldn't get cable in Brooklynn back then
@dan goth The original is probably a good song, but this version *rocks*
this is definitely one of those times when a cover truly surpasses the original.
Edit: mainly because of the riff, what she does to it is magic.
Blinded by the Light was also a great cover...
ITS TERRIBLE!!!
I have to agree!
They sound great and it is a very good cover but, there is only one original. I can't say it surpasses the Simon and Garfunkel original.
The Bangles are such a great band
The best remake of all time.
Suzanna Hoff's eyes should be one of the seven wonders of the world
Make that 2 of the seven wonders.
The rest of her ain't too shabby....
No kidding! She still looks absolutely stunning at age 60!!!!
Vikki Petersen is pretty hot in this too
Amen to that
Now that the Go-Go's have been inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame,I hope The Bangles will be next.
The Bangles are so superior to the Go-Gos it's not funny. The Go-Gos sound like a bunch of cheerleaders--no harmony, just shouting. But given the politics and bias, and the fact that the whole institution was poorly thought out and executed from the beginning, I'd consider it more a badge of honor (and would be in better company) if I weren't inducted into it.
AGREED!!! It wasn’t until 2022 that Duran Duran was finally inducted. The political aspect outweighs the true greatness of rock and roll. The Bangles belong there!
@@MrTrashcan1 The Bangles are not superior to the Go-Gos. The Go-Gos wrote all their own songs, and the Bangles never had a record anywhere close to the Go-Gos first.
@@marcgrossman980 Agree. If nothing else, I think the Go-Gos had more catchy hit songs than the Bangles. (Besides, who cares about the lame-ass "Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame"? Or the even more lame-ass "Hollywood Walk of Fame"...IMHO the only REAL Halls of Fame are the sports Halls of Fame for the 4 major North American team sports: baseball, football, basketball & hockey. Anyway, the Hollywood- and pop music-types get enough "fame" and/or glory as it is, without creating these bogus "Halls"/"Walks" of Fame...or for that matter, the ridiculous "EGOT" distinction, yawn.)
Hey, both were good.
I feel like this song is the epitome of The Bangles and demonstrates what it is they really wanted to do as a band, as opposed to what the record label pushed and most of the big hits we got from them. I try to imagine what the band would have been like if they'd had things more their way over what the people managing them and the labels pushed them to be.
That opening guitar riff deserves it's own spot in the Rock Hall of Fame.
That riff, the tone of the guitar, and the entire song are produced way too thin. It's produced like a pop band instead of a rock band, and the lead guitarist is trying way too hard to look like she's playing Immigrant Song or Barracuda instead of a pop song.
@@WithaJoeFro Still reached #2 in the Billboard charts
@@opa-age And Disco Duck reached #1 on Billboard. I'm not sure that is an indication of quality.
Mi amor Vicky Peterson 😍😍😍😍😍
2:02 Now THAT'S the right amount of cowbell!
Need more COWBELL
More cowbell!
I've got a FEVER!
Just a little more.......nottt!!!!
Thanks, now thats all I'll hear
The ONLY wrong thing with this amazing rock classic is that it was way TOO SHORT!!!
Always love this girl band group
It is not too short - it is perfect. No note wasted.
They had to cut part of it though. There was a reference to "drinking my vodka and lime" that the record company cut. And they cut more than that to fit.
The original was lomger.
But you can always press play again 😉
Susanna Hoffs just had a birthday her 65th if I'm not mistaken.. From 1986 to the end of 1989 these girls graced our radios every day. Memories !
This song was always playing at the college center when I was at Community college. This may be the most improved song from original to cover I've ever heard.
Still watching this in 2024! What a great time the 80s were
I still love The Bangles and Robert Downey. I've watched Less Than Zero quite a few times and I'm glad he made it out of hell. For people who don't know it because they're too young, RD Jr. was an addict and practically killed himself because of that. Look at where he is now. I just wanted to mention it because if you're an addict, don't give up. He was in such bad shape and he fought his way back. If you're despondent, just remember you can fight addiction. Please get help. Sending love and hope to all suffering.
Ironic how he played a character that (besides the prostitution) he mirrored in his real life. I'm very glad he's back and made it through too!
Anyone that can come back from thst is inspiring! Love those kind of stories I’m best friends with a former drug addict and I saw him through his darkest days and I’m so happy he made it out to the other side, it’s the best kind of story to tell being a survivor watching this movie brought me to tears because it was a reality for me at one time.
Thanks ... that is encouraging
What a kind message!
I really appreciate that you’re explaining the backstory a little for some people who might not now. But please don’t assume, that only because someone is young, they don’t know about stuff that happened before they were born :) Anyways, this song is amazing!
I particularly like this one because all four of them are singing together. It was their best harmony.
For real. 🤘
Yes, it was.
Glad u said that. I think so too.
The harmonies are incredible.
Agreed. This and only Walk like an Egyptian we got to here most of them sing.
Just curious whose idea it was to take a Paul Simon comfortable song "Hazy Shade..." and turn it into a rockin upbeat awesome gem. Genious
Less than zero movie 🍿 soundtrack of 1987!
Got it on cassette that Christmas. Such an odd & wonderful mix-tape!!
Danzig. You and Me I always think of Jamie Gertz when I hear it.
Yes❗ 😀
Not gonna lie, I'm here 'cause I'm stuck in the 80's 🤘🏻
Your words, maker me cry.
Don't worry you're not the only one
Same here.
Where else to get stuck?.....
70's isn't to bad though too..
@@rider660r or 60s....and so on....especially if youre a "white" person...back in those days those people got to really enjoy the "privilege" before the woke crowd put the kibosh on things....wonder if ELP had time traveled from the future to write "Lucky Man" specifically for that generation? "he had White horses, and ladies by the score...." He sure did Greg....he sure did, lucky bastard!
This is why they're great:everyone nails it.Vocals, drums,bass, lead guitar...
Pas la guitare solo, c'est pas elle qui joue!
@@alainquinzelaire1253 Vicky Peterson es la guitarrista LOL.
it was the fab 4 that got them going
@@timothylines631 Beatles Fab Four...? Explain.
Hot babes 80s 😊
When a remake surpasses the original you know it was done right.
Simply Awesome.
This was a huge hit for Simon and Garfunkel (US Billboard 13). It's a testament to the Bangles that they could make it an even bigger hit (Billboard 3). Whichever version you prefer, they are both great!
Billboard number 2 actually
@@fregarl Oops, it was the Cash Box Top 100 number 3.
The Bangles version is clearly superior. S&G would agree.
What shocks me is 1200 people actually dislike this. What's not to like? Awesome lyrics by Paul Simon. Kick-ass guitar. Gorgeous ladies with beautiful voices and great harmony. Great song, fantastic cover, fun video. Man the 80s were great.
Probably a reaction from all the "Captain Sober" AA types here who saw the one movie mucking up the comments with their "personal journeys" as if anyone gives a flying-squirrel shit.
You know what they say - you can't fix STUPID!
@@arlettasloan6453 What the hell are you talking about? Eternal Flame wasn't a song they "took over." It was COWRITTEN by Susana Hoffs.
Well , 30% of America has beyond proven they have no minds left , nutty basterds that dislike this will get the farthest most left corner of hell with big huge thumbs down icons having their way with them lmao
Who cares what others dislike
This proves once and for all...WOMEN CAN ROCK!!!!!!!
+purplegurl79 Agreed. The Go-Go's proved that too! Pat Benatar... the list is endless.
+Stephen Smith Not to mention Heart
+Stephen Smith don't forget Lita Ford. "Woke up on a Saturday night, didn't get laid, got in a fight. ah huh, but it ain't no big thing..." It went something like that, but it totally rocked!
+Carlos Smith "went to a party last Saturday night, I didn't get laid..."! I love Lita. I bought that cassette eith my first paycheck the summer after 10th grade.
Lashun 9274 That's what's up. When true music was about raw talent, originality and artistry. Hopefully true rock music will go back to it's roots and be just as kick ass as it once was. Btw, your a black female rocker? Impressive! And very pretty if I might add.
2024? Susanna Hoffs is 65 years old and age don’t mean a thing to that woman.
i was just thinking that she still looks like that!!!
Natural beauty, class, and grace have no sell by date.
@@SpaceLord2025 I wouldn't go that far. But she definitely looks good for 65...Frankly, I don't think ANYONE looks as good as she did back then...
What difference does it make?
In my experience, after a certain age, say early 20s, actual age doesn't matter much.
I was her mate for awhile back in the early 90s
What talent. What harmonies. All of them could sing and were talented musically as well. The Bangles' music will be listened to forever.
Hoffs still one of the most beautiful singers of all time
Shit, she’s not even the best singer in the band. Vicki Peterson is the real talent here.
Patti Smyth was easy on the eyes too!
Absolutely. That sideways glance in Walk like an Egyptian is one of the sexiest things I've ever seen😍
Very true
Susanna Hoffs is a fairly attractive individual.
It’s 2021 and this sounds better than anything played on the current top 40 music radio. 💃🕺🏽
Great song for Illinois. 🌳🌨
I love gerard ways cover with ray toro
That’s because music has gotten absolutely terrible lol
Yep.... that means we getting old. Lol.
There are some pretty good new songs, actually.
The guitar sound on that main riff is so RUDE. Love it. Such a fantastic cover.
Possibly their best song ever. If I had to pick one that i couldn't live without it would be this one. It ranks very high on their list too. All four of them signing together makes it so unique. The blending of their voices together was always what made them so special.
Their best cover. It is Simon and Garfunkel`s song.
@@monetarnie3841 A cover yes, but they completely made it their own. Love Simon & Garfunkel, but I think this is a superior version.
No, it isn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I like this version (+ the Bangles), but S&G’s gets the meaning across much more bluntly.
Try " Following" on repeats.
First Vinyl
I still rate Manic Monday above this, but Google says I'm in the minority...
These girls are a very underrated band , they took a song that was already great and just hit it out of the park . This is now one of my all time favorites , thank you for a job well done .

@@BrockLee3 This folks is why drugs don't work!
What a fantastic version of a classic song.The harmonies and musicality are brilliant.
Well said...the energy is amazing, and it's certainly one of my favourites from the 80's, pop-punk-rock at it's finest. 🙂
Never realized they harmonized that well.
@@thesunreport thank you for your kind comment.
@@AVweb I was surprised just how good they were,it’s a shame I never saw them live as they were a great live band.
@@AVweb Give a listen to their song, "Dover Beach." Beautiful harmonies!
Without a doubt the greatest cover of any song by any band, ever. I loved it when it first came out and I still love it today.
The Lemonheads did Mrs Robinson better than S&G as well.
Joe Cockers version of The Beatles" With a little help from my friends " is so good it's not seen as a cover, it's seen as an original.
Yep
Between this version of Hazy Shade of Winter and Disturbed's remake of The Sound of Silence, Paul Simon must be pretty impressed with his songwriting.
Disturbed! That was epic.
Simon and Garfunkel covered by The Bangles.....Only in America.....The drummer is off the charts.....period.....
As 2021 comes to a close, this song has a complete different meaning to me at 54 than it did when I was 20.
53 and know what you mean .....
almost 64. This song brings me back to times much better than today.

@@BadWolf1958 Amen brother. (age 67)
First of all, Hoffs is still a stunner now at 65 years old. Second of all, you have to give a shout out to the man who wrote this song, Mr. Paul Simon. Who is now in his 80s and is still performing live. Although nowadays that's on a part-time basis.
Also, I've never seen Less Than Zero, so I can't really comment on that movie.
Paul Simon is a living legend. Also I saw the story /pics of Susanna hoffs the other day as well, agree 100%, and even at 65, she is 100% out of my league 😉
The movie, Less Than Zero, is great.
I highly recommend it.
Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Gertz, Andrew McCarthy, James Spader.
Really good drama with some surprises.
Watch it soon, I think that you will love it.
Great music too.
Let me know what you think after you watch it.

Who would have thought growing old would happen sooo fast?
Didn't happen for Susanna Hoffs - she's apparently immortal!
Ditto, but we made it to midlife!
The Bangles really did this song justice! Awesome!
Susanna was so respectful and humble about doing the cover and meeting Paul Simon after it did so well on the charts. On the Bangles website, she talks about meeting Paul Simon after watching Simon & Garfunkel in concert: "We had loved Simon & Garfunkel, and naturally we also loved Paul as a solo artist, and we were really happy to see them perform and then go backstage for a meet-and-greet. This was after our version of 'Hazy Shade of Winter' had come out, and although I don't think we talked about it very much, I remember he was very sweet, and I'm sure he was happy the song had done so well. I think it's always good to have your song covered, but it was a little uncomfortable talking to him about it, because when Simon & Garfunkel did the song, it had gone to #17 (sic), and the Bangles version went to #2. You're proud, of course, but you never want to come off as full of yourself or arrogant you know?"
This is the best cover of Hazy Shade of Winter since S&G and proved that the Bangles were a band to be taken seriously
They really were a "band to be taken seriously", So much clever material, super tight production, and "Michael" was "way more" then she ever got props for, Yea, check out everything other than "Manic Monday, and Walk Egyptian", no matter what your "main genre" is , "good music is good music", just let it soak in, this was a great fucking band
Check out the version by Foxes and Fossils.
I have tried to take them seriously, but I can't get past the 3 dudes in drag on stage with Hoffs.
They crushed it! This is definitely my favorite version of this song!
Love the song! Love the Bangles! Love the movie, LESS THAN ZERO! LOVED THE 80'S! 😍
The book is so much darker than the movie… but that movie is awesome to this day- remember seeing it in the theater ❤
Me too 😀😀🇩🇪🎄🎉❤️
Movie ? What movie ? 😁
I came here because I'm still in love with Susanna Hoffs
Who isn't?

Understandable. I can identify. I think my husband would be ok with it.

Actually came out in 1968.

Same on all counts. :)
Not at all the easiest riff in the songbook. Vicki Peterson is underrated.
I was thinking the same thing after viewing this vid for a zillion times and never looked at anything besides Susanna until now.. 😎
She totally is. Talented artist, amazing voice and beautiful, sexy woman.
@@samharper8293 To be fair, Susanna is quite the attention getter.
Definitely
Turns out the riff is from Simon & Garfunkel
. This song is a cover.
Kudos for their producer ... the sound is not only perfect but also timeless ... if you have told someone who has not heard this song before that it was a brand new "debut" single of the band called "whatever" ...they wouldn't suspect that you were lying, I am sure of it.
It's rare that a cover is better than the original, but this cover just kicks ass!
I'm a huge S&G fan and I agree.
By far theor best song ever......and Less than Zero one of the best movies ever too!! I just watched it twice last week was happy to see it playing.

This black Detroit 60's chick loved Simon and garfunkel songs especially this one and l also love this version by the Bangles It was perfect for the less than zero movie.
I love this song, I rarely hear it. But when I hear it, my neighbors hear it too! Born in 1973. This song is a time machine.😎🤘🏻🤙🏻
Great song. The drummer killed it
One of my all-time favorite covers, and the opening guitar riff is one of the coolest from the 80s. The Bangles are a band whose music is still as great today as it was in the 1980s.
Listening in 2021 to a 1987 Bangles cover of a 1966 Simon & Garfunkel song ....
Much better than all those other sexualised, poppy girl groups from the 90s to 2000s
FILTHIEST BASS LINE OF ALL TIME! I need a cigarette after listening to it

jerlan23 ,they should be there but, must be all political thing and seems they rather have others who came after them
DFS54 They deserve to be on the R&R HOF
This is the best version of this song but I am of the opinion that Paul Simon is a very underrated song writer.
Susana Hoffs probably the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen
And a beautiful voice. And she likes rock music. It doesn’t get much better.
This summarizes every heart break of a teen in the 80's.
Depends on your generation. Boomers would be more familiar with the Simon and Garfunkle original.
Also, Don't forget "foolish beat" by Debbie Gibson.
What a comment
That would be second to 'Time after Time' by Cyndi Lauper, I'm 50 now.
These girls did the almost impossible. They made this song their own to the extent where now I have two versions of it that are different yet the same and I enjoy them equally.
Love the powerful drums. No nonsense, hard and dry. Full of energy and drive!
These chicks kick ass.
Probably the hardest rocking song the Bangles did....hard driving beat. So underrated.
The best Bangles hit. These women rocked it! Great electric guitar, great drums, and great harmonizing between all the women.
The definitive alternative cover version
As a 90s kid but a huge fan of the 80s always thought this song on less than zero was a kind of perfect description for the 80s
1987 was 29 years ago...my god we had fun back then. Forget how intense the Bangles are.
Hard to believe, isn't it? And the song is much older yet. The original version was written and performed by Simon and Garfunkel in 1966. Kudos to the Bangles for choosing such a great song to cover, and actually improve. Plus Suzanna Hoffs is WAY cuter than Paul Simon :-)
Maafa 1619
Not so obvious, jackass. A lot of people only know this song from the Bangles.
oh snap he called you a jackass, jackass.
Brad Pitt was an extra in the movie.
was in BASIC and AIT when this was popular
I ran out and bought the Less Than Zero soundtrack the day I saw this on MTV in 87. It's still one of my favorite covers and 80's rock songs in general. Absolutely amazing.
Better movie than critics gave it credit for.
Best girl band. Actually had musical talent as opposed to the others.
I remember first hearing this one winter semester in college in the 80's. Great cover of the Simon and Garfunkel original. This version will always mean a lot to me. Hard to believe this is nearly 40 years old now. Excellent song, they nailed it. One of my favorites.
Living through the '80s brought me here.
SirHatchporch The best times with the best music.. 😀
Loving the 80s brought me here!
Best😊✌💞🌿💃🕺
Fantastic harmonies. Brilliant cover of a great song.
i wish the 80s never left
I can watch this over and over and not just because of how beautiful the band members are. Listening to this with my eyes closed is just as enjoyable as watching the video. Well done!
Why does that opening riff hit harder than a truck?
I normally hate any cover of Simon and Garfunkel songs but this is class
Yeah, the douche-metal version of Sounds of Silence sucked the a-hole.
@@johnnyblitzkrieg8985 I don't think it sucked, but the masses fawning over it as if it were a new piece of art is a slap in the face to those who know a little bit about music.
Was going to say the same thing. Absolutely amazing cover.
Agreed. This may not be the only cover of an S&G song that I like better than the original, but it's the only one I can think of at the moment....
Just Simon-no Garfunkel. And this version is 10 x better.
Is and will always be one of the most iconic songs of the ‘80’s. No contest.
Who knew this was hiding in a Simon and Garfunkel song. Electrified, sounds like it was meant to be, seems so natural. Thank you, Bangles, for this all day hummer in the back of the head
I haven’t heard that song in 100 years. Very beautiful ladies and musicians
RDJ gave an awesome performance in Less Than Zero.
That's because he really wasn't acting...
Carl Thompson yeah....sad, but true.
Yes, very much so.
IRON-MAN! TONY RULES!😎✌
The best work he has ever done
Fantastic driving bassline. Drums are rock solid. Props to Michael and Debbi for absolutely killing the rhythm section on this track.
If you think her playing was great, you should hear Michael Steel singing. Incredible voice.
@@Shadow_Sonata Wow, didn't know that, but interested to find out more!
Michael does not get the respect she deserves
This is in the movie "Less than Zero". I remember it well. After graduation I joined the military, my best friend went to college. He died of a drug overdose a short time later. Here's to you Patrick. Just like in the movie life doesn't go how dreamed it would.
Today's music blow's nothing can touch this music nothing we rule 🤘🎸 Gen x 🤘🤘🤘
Heard the Simon & Garfunkel version of this song. Both versions (ie The Bangles version and the Simon & Garfunkel version) have their own distinct appeal.
yeah i heard the original also and this version blows the original out by a mile
