Bro...just watched this clip on VH1 and was thinking "Hmmm I bet the first comment i'll see on youtube about this clip will be regarding GTA Vice City's 'The Malibu Club'..." Nailed it 😆. Good Times bro...gooood times 👍
Imagine being 18 in 1984 and driving home with the windows down on a beautiful midwest summer night about 10 PM and this coming on the radio. That happened to me, and I still remember the feeling. It was otherworldly.
For me I was pretty young, but I stayed home from school, sick, and kind of in a weird haze in the morning. My mom had the radio on getting ready for work. For some reason it always stuck with me, and I always wondered why. It didn’t seem significant. Guess it was just the music.
@bleep77 I hear you on the bittersweet nostalgia. This too is a song that illicits the pining of better times past....I'm also adding 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' and Head Over Heels - both by Tears For Fears, Glass Tiger's 'Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone, and The Smiths 'How Soon Is Now?'
I don't about you guys but this song brings me very good childhood memories of Vice City today I'm 23 and i still play it Vice City is the first badass game i ever played just like Gta San Andreas😎😎😎😎
Im 53 , was 12 in 1982 when i first heard this song on 2SM Sydney radio station and recorded it on a TDK cassette on my Sony radio cassette recorder , such memories and great times
On the other side of the world in Texas, I was a 8 listening to Casey Kasem's American Top Forty on Power 104 KRBE with my finger on the record button at the end of each song in case the next one was a banger.
+ClassicCinemaMC You lucky man :-) I'm a 90s earlt 2000 kids and I always ask my mom and dad how the 80s were and they both give me the same answer all the time ... awesome and nohing has come close ...
This is probably one of the best examples of a music video produced during the golden age of music video. It plays to the strengths of the format - the group is well represented and the visuals are fascinating and it's definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Well done Wang Chung et al - this is a masterpiece.
Isn’t it crazy that the time that separates us from the release of this song (nearly 40 years) now corresponds to the time that separates the song to the era of the “dance hall days” (1940s)?
Yup. It'll be the same for "Dirty Dancing" in just a few more years. Goes to show that nostalgia is a never-ending cycle--the folks from "the good old days" were nostalgic for *their* good old days.
@@QEsposito510 Only people that dislike the 50's - 80's are people that are incompatible with those times, a burden. Don't start with the social justice bs, those times were fantastic.
i remember when that game came out, fukin hell, there was such high expectations and it sold out around here so quickly. i remember me and my friends in school drooling over sneak peak screenshots of vice city in the magazines before it was released, they were good times lol
@@savethezombies ..not one of my favourites. But there is Ice House, Simple Minds, Noiseworks, Midnight Oil, tracks like Pump Up The Volume - Marrs, Iron Maiden, Metallica, .....
I was never really a Wang Chung fan as a kid growing up in the 80s, but this song is overwhelmingly nostalgic to me now. It takes me back a simpler time when our days were more care free.
I was born in 95. I heard this on the radio in a video game. It does the same to me. The point of the game was to shoot and rob but I'd just pick a car and drive around listening to the radio. I was a tween then in the mid 2000s and had my whole life. Now Im 30 and it feels I've run out of road
I am SO Happy to have lived my childhood in the 80s. LIVING those E.T. moments while riding my BMX searching for the next adventure. You might love STRANGER THINGS, but I lived it!
*Lyrics* Take your baby by the hand And make her do a high handstand And take your baby by the heel And do the next thing that you feel We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Dance hall days love Take your baby by the hair And pull her close and there, there, there And take your baby by the ears And play upon her darkest fears We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love Take your baby by the wrist And in her mouth an amethyst And in her eyes two sapphires blue And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you And you need her and she needs you We were so in phase In our dance hall days We were cool on craze When I, you, and everyone we knew Could believe, do, and share in what was true Oh, I said Dance hall days love Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love Dance hall days Dance hall days love
It was a dark winter evening in 1984 on a train going through the green English countryside on my way back to London i remember listening to this on my Walkman.While I listened to this i stared out the window there was something almost mystical about the dark forests and green fields rushing past my window. (Walkman = olden days version of the ipod. Info for those born after the 80's. )
Fire up the time machine, I'm ready to go back - just out of college, young, strong, no debt, no responsibilities, whole life ahead of me, and this musical background...Life was good!
Que bom que existe gta para está geração que nasceu de 2000 para ca para fazer gostar destas músicas porque eu que nasci nos anos 90 conheci estas músicas a partir de discos de vinils e MTV kkk
viva o Vice City !!! de todos os gtas que existem e por mais que sejam perfeitos e incríveis eu quero o Vice City SEMPRE, porque é minha raiz, jogava muito, não é só por causa dos flashbacks, o Vice City em si, amo demais !! ♥🔥 e sou fã de flashbacks !!! 🍃
When I listen to this music it reminds me of the actor Eammon Walker in the movie Blood and Bone destroying his enemy on the ground by smacking his shoe in the face.😂
My dad showed me this song when I was in elementary school. Still listening to it today as I’m about to graduate college in May. As time flies, great music will stay
+bearded yeti Ummmm. You're looking at history through rose colored glasses. Cocaine Cowboys in Miami, Bloods & Crips in LA. AIDS hit the news. War in Grenada, Afghani Civil War..Look it wasn't all bad and I'm a child of the 80's but to say the 80's were peaceful is a bit of a nostalgic stretch. Glad you have good memories of it though..Hold on to those.
Мне 33 года и это просто шедевр музыки, вспоминаю как ночи напролёт играл в GTA vice city и слушал по радио песни такого жанра и особенно клуб Малибу запомнился😊
Nice song, but what the heck are those violins doing in the clip ? Oh yes, right, thanks for reminding me, that was for the "fun" factor as seen by the kitschy 1980's...
Jason Camp I guess most people say that about their youth years. It isn't that much about whether it were the 1950's or 1970's but about being young, about being at the start of many possibilities, options, roads to possible success or happiness. I'm sure 40 or 50 somethings in 2070 will say the 2030's were damn fun....
+Benoit Vanhees There's always a nostalgia factor. some periods of time may be better than others as well but it's really an opinion. I wouldn't trade growing up when I did. just great times.
With the opening notes of this song, I'm mentally transported to the city pool when I was kid - hearing this song playing over the radio as we splashed around, blissfully unaware of the future...
December 1986- My friends and I read in a alternative/wave magazine that Wang Chung would be performing at Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, Co in Jan. 1987. We make the trek by car 125 miles from Sterling Co to Denver in a snow storm that was quickly turning worse. We get to Rainbow Music Hall to find out that the concert was canceled due to weather. We had called that morning and all was fine. We ended up eating at Wendy's and driving for five hours back to Sterling which would have normally taken two hours in good weather. That's my Wang Chung story.
*Radio Host Voice* "Goooooood Morning, Vice Cityyy. Sun is up, waves are high, and things have been getting crazy out there. Makes you miss of the good ol days, just like this next hit from the 80s. Stay safe everyone." *plays dance hall days*
I've said it before, Saturday night, cheap wine, but good wine, '80's music on youtube. Maybe some '80's movies later on...BEST DECADE EVER!!! I miss my friends from those days. I absolutely miss the music.
Airbender 4, yes, I get horrible melancholy when I think about how great the 80s were, especially the music... they were full of optimism. The world now is much more cynical and dysfunctional.
Agreed 1000%. The 1980's music was so different from so many bands-- they seemed to use all the instruments they could get their hands on to layer the sound of a song-- used all the tools in the box, so to speak. Now-- not sure I hear anything different in any genre; country sounds the same, pop/rb/soul sounds the same and they use sampling, looping and autotune-- nobody is going to actually convince me they are musicians/singers learning their craft as much as they are convenience and routine. The 1980's are so far above what's going on today, and it's not even close.
I'm 31 and still got memories of this song playing while flying the helicopter on GTA San Andreas, I can't believe it still comes into my head! Thanks GTA!
Any one in 2024 with full of nostalgia vibes ,✌️🫰🥹, god I love Vice City game, that drove my childhood 😭❤️, god knows why old songs are sooo good !!! If you reading this , 'you are a beautiful person' :)
Bill the Fifth I know what you mean. It’s definitely got a haunting element. It makes me nostalgic for things I haven’t even experienced yet if that makes sense. It’s like it has a magical feel about it.
I used to work at a pet store and sometimes we’d have the 80s station on. Me and my friend Sean would hear this song sometimes and wonder what the hell the lyrics were. He died a few years back, not even 30. Now whenever this (or a few other songs) pop up, I think of him. Rest in peace buddy
takes me back to the 80s instantly. I feel so old the amount of people goin on about a play station game here like it's a legendry game, wen this sing come out spectrum an commodore 16 was the new thing lol
I was about 3 when this song came out but I did play a games console and it had 4 bit sound quality I used to play Astrosmash and battle tanks on the intellivision back then so old school it had a wood effect finish.
One of my all time favorite songs of the 80’s best times growing up out of high school 1981 then it was clubs and more clubs 80’s music never to be duplicated ever this era was our 50 60 70 those eras had there’s we had our and the woman dress to the nines smokin hot leggings mini skirts poofy hair
I was born in 1970, too! Being a teen in the '80s wasn't bad, but I got bullied a lot because I was a New Waver surrounded by jocks. I also didn't smoke, and smoking was EVERYWHERE back then. I don't miss the smoking at all.
Moments like these are why I keep coming back to RUclips, depsite the horrible fighting between complete strangers. I don't even know why but i had this song just pop into my head today. It reminds me of much happier days. Thank you to the person who kindly posted it, I appreciate it very much.
The libraries at both my middle and high schools were also our public libraries. (Extremely small town..) A book was "redlined" when an adult would report that it was inapprioriate by age or just was 'questionable'. The recommendations weren't vetted in any way. The librarian simply took a red sharpie and drew a line through the shelfing tag. In other words most were verboten to us students on the advice of elderly women with a lot of cats and even more bitterness. Probably their racist book ever was Gone With The Wind... I see these women behind the warning on this video.
I'm not following you. You bought a kit, but then you made it at the store? Please explain yourself. If you refuse to explain yourself, penalties will be created and enforced.
I regrettably was born in 02, however my family practically hid all present day music, and songs like these are my childhood, although it did take Vice City to remind me of this specific song
I get annoyed with those get upset, because Vice city brought we here, I mean not everybody and especially the teenage generation who played GTA Vice city (when came released), we were not had the chance to live the whole eighties age, (even many wasn't borned yet), so this was an way to re-discover this magnificie music, so proudly, GTA Vice city brought me here.
Gabriel Sulmonetti Exactly! This was a fucking awesome time be a kid. Anyone who wasn't alive during this time could not understand it. The music and movies of the 80s are pretty much the best way to project those feelings. Not hating on GTA Vice City at all. They have really good taste in music. And glad youngsters have an outlet to learn about that special time/era in pop culture. There was such diversity and creativity in the 80s. I want to rip my ears off when I hear what's on the radio stations today.
Gabriel Sulmonetti I agree with you i'm glad that GTA exposed this generation to 80's music like you said some of these kids weren't born during the 80's and the 90's
I got you, well enjoy, the 1980's was a blast for me ass a young boy ten those teenage years. Nothing but neon lights everywhere and the club scene was awesome. I miss those days, but like another great song by Prince during those times said, Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last and that went for the 1980's.
The best decade for growing up as a kid and teen,I had a very happy childhood thanks dad and everyone at Sant Anthony village high school, go big blue!
GTA don't make people bad and criminals. But lovers of past songs and good culture. Gorgeous song like this it's a great example ❤
💯
Most definitely. I remember cruise on my motorcycle at night with this song blaring
*example
I really want GTA 6 to be back in Vice City again but with a larger map and the 80s jams again.
Oh hell yeah. I just heard this song one of thechief1114's recent GTA streams.
Shout out to the Malibu Club in Vice City for showing me amazing music as a kid 🖤

Those 80’s were superb eh? I just don’t recognise the world anymore. And this is one fine tune. I play it a lot. ❤
I was 1 in 1984 and also remember this song coming on the radio while being driven home. J/k
Same! Well I was 19 and it was past 11pm😂
Who's here on 1st day of 2025? I luv this song, the memories, wow! 😊
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them..
I feel that way and I was born in the 90's. Sometimes I wish I was alive in the 80's just to experience it all..
@bleep77 I hear you on the bittersweet nostalgia. This too is a song that illicits the pining of better times past....I'm also adding 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World' and Head Over Heels - both by Tears For Fears, Glass Tiger's 'Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone, and The Smiths 'How Soon Is Now?'
I feel the same bro....the same....
It reminds me of girls I dated and when MTV was in its beginning phases. Good times. p.s. my cover photo was c.1988
Same here. I was a teen in the eighties and this was my music ❤️
1980's song about the 1940's... still listened to in the 2020's.
Still played, on the Radio, as well, praise the Lady DJ @ 95.3, on the FM Dial and the other DJ's. Duvenile Jelinquent's, the lot of 'em.
When men were men and woman were woman. Today 2020....???????
We are as far away from 1980 as people in 1980 were from 1940. Incredible how fast time flies
I don't about you guys but this song brings me very good childhood memories of Vice City today I'm 23 and i still play it Vice City is the first badass game i ever played just like Gta San Andreas😎😎😎😎

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days love
Take your baby by the hair
And pull her close and there, there, there
And take your baby by the ears
And play upon her darkest fears
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true
Oh, I said
Dance hall days love
Dance hall days
Dance hall days love
Take your baby by the wrist
And in her mouth an amethyst
And in her eyes two sapphires blue
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
And you need her and she needs you
We were so in phase
In our dance hall days

When I, you, and everyone we knew
Could believe, do, and share in what was true

It was a dark winter evening in 1984 on a train going through the green English countryside on my way back to London i remember listening to this on my Walkman.While I listened to this i stared out the window there was something almost mystical about the dark forests and green fields rushing past my window. (Walkman = olden days version of the ipod. Info for those born after the 80's. )
cool memory, having a walkman was a big deal, I didn't have one until 1990
I also had that feeling
I was born in 2002 and I know what a walkman is
cw love your comment! That’s life!
Phurise / I was born in 1981 & I know what a telegraph is...what's your point
It's Dec.2018. I am 66 now and clearly remember this GREAT song. I use to dance to this night after night. Still feel like dancing. Happy New Year.
Robert Hester I'm 58 bless ya

I’m 15 and I finally found this song

its june 2019......what do you think now man.....have a nice weekend
Fire up the time machine, I'm ready to go back - just out of college, young, strong, no debt, no responsibilities, whole life ahead of me, and this musical background...Life was good!
GTA vice city, obrigado por me fazer amar essa música 🤙🏼🇧🇷💚🇧🇷 nostalgia bateu!
Que bom que existe gta para está geração que nasceu de 2000 para ca para fazer gostar destas músicas porque eu que nasci nos anos 90 conheci estas músicas a partir de discos de vinils e MTV kkk
@@adrianogarciaespanhol curto muito músicas dos anos 80/90. Tenho espírito de século 20
@@EduardoMonteiro7 que bom irmão que vc não se deixou levar por estas músicas atuais sem graça parabéns tens bom gosto.

Randy Adrichem nice to see there's still good people out there! :-) chin up John bro
Strong arms brother,
I feel bad for you sorry for your loss.
80s Era for music unbelievable the era I was born
When I listen to this music it reminds me of the actor Eammon Walker in the movie Blood and Bone destroying his enemy on the ground by smacking his shoe in the face.😂
This song reminds of Gta vice city in the club
I Fucken love the 80’s 😁
Blake Flaten hell yeah man
Take me back home pls get me outta here 😂
I wanna go back.
@@damienthompson4423 me 2
Yeah. Song writers and artists had talent back then.
Brings back those high school days!!!! The 80s was one of the best decades.♥♥♥♥♥
Natalie Harris Amen .
Natalie Harris I'm almost 17 all over again...1984.
James Johnson I feel the same way♥
Natalie Harris not one of the best, it was the best.
trevorbaldwin1 No argument from me ; )
My dad showed me this song when I was in elementary school. Still listening to it today as I’m about to graduate college in May. As time flies, great music will stay
Seguramente tu papá era un niño en esa época.
Congratulations!
Vice city banger this still sounds 🔥🔥🔥🔥
damn. Life ain't like it was anymore. can't beat the 80s. peaceful
True that
+bearded yeti Ummmm. You're looking at history through rose colored glasses. Cocaine Cowboys in Miami, Bloods & Crips in LA. AIDS hit the news. War in Grenada, Afghani Civil War..Look it wasn't all bad and I'm a child of the 80's but to say the 80's were peaceful is a bit of a nostalgic stretch. Glad you have good memories of it though..Hold on to those.
Kbomb123 well then...
+Kbomb123 everything was different then. Even the air smelt better, well I remember in the 90s everything was better than now..
+MysticFantasy70s I couldnt agree more we were coming to the end of a very promising century, we thought it could only get better, but it didn't.
Who’s here in 2020?! Vice city classic!
Meee
Wow....took me back
All Day Long ..!!
Me
Me in Malibu club🤪🤪🤪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The name Wang Chung means "Yellow Bell" in Chinese
It is the first note in the Chinese classical music scale ❤️
I always thought it meant something dirty...
I thought it was what you wake up to after too much tequila and passing out naked in the bathtub.
🤔....Wait - don't you mean Chang Wung?
Мне 33 года и это просто шедевр музыки, вспоминаю как ночи напролёт играл в GTA vice city и слушал по радио песни такого жанра и особенно клуб Малибу запомнился😊
one of the most under rated great songs from the best decade of music, the 1980s
The best decade of music? Hee hee.
Not underrated at all
There’s something magical about this song. Makes me feel a rush of life and love
So true!
Good music for psychopaths killing people
Life was much moor easyer back in the 80s
Vice city, with 5 cop stars, while on a moped, and you're still not stopping me, with this beauty playing!
Nice song, but what the heck are those violins doing in the clip ? Oh yes, right, thanks for reminding me, that was for the "fun" factor as seen by the kitschy 1980's...
the song has synth pads that sound like violins, maybe is for that
***** Am I glad the synths were not mimicing the sounds of whales...
The 80s were damn fun
Jason Camp I guess most people say that about their youth years. It isn't that much about whether it were the 1950's or 1970's but about being young, about being at the start of many possibilities, options, roads to possible success or happiness. I'm sure 40 or 50 somethings in 2070 will say the 2030's were damn fun....
+Benoit Vanhees There's always a nostalgia factor. some periods of time may be better than others as well but it's really an opinion. I wouldn't trade growing up when I did. just great times.
As a kid playing GTA and my sister would always join just to drive around and listen to these masterpieces. The good old days
With the opening notes of this song, I'm mentally transported to the city pool when I was kid - hearing this song playing over the radio as we splashed around, blissfully unaware of the future...
fuck yes.
Who could have thought at that time that the music would die.
Wang Chung funky pop from mid 80s "Dance hall days" classic 😎👍.
And I’m still dancing hall days….since the 80s….🕺💃
I'm 69, just rediscovered dance hall days, gotta watch the video every day, WOW ! And how does he get that guitar sound. Waaay cool
December 1986- My friends and I read in a alternative/wave magazine that Wang Chung would be performing at Rainbow Music Hall in Denver, Co in Jan. 1987. We make the trek by car 125 miles from Sterling Co to Denver in a snow storm that was quickly turning worse. We get to Rainbow Music Hall to find out that the concert was canceled due to weather. We had called that morning and all was fine. We ended up eating at Wendy's and driving for five hours back to Sterling which would have normally taken two hours in good weather. That's my Wang Chung story.
This is not music. This is crap, because its age-restricted
Anyone listening in 2019 ?? What a tune best years the 80s !!!
Of course!!!
I love 80s music so much. We had such great music, movies, and TV back then
Chris Kilts agreed!! I listen to 80s on the radio now Dab is a awesome thing
@@cnkilts such a nice time!
Me I remember this in 80's myself born 78❤😁
A genuine pop classic….it still sounds fresh in 2025….timeless.
*Radio Host Voice*
"Goooooood Morning, Vice Cityyy. Sun is up, waves are high, and things have been getting crazy out there. Makes you miss of the good ol days, just like this next hit from the 80s. Stay safe everyone."
*plays dance hall days*
So nice
Still listening to this classic . Who else . ❤
That synth strings sound at 0:52 is just lovely 😎👌🏻🙂👍🏻
The best part of the song
🎹
One of my favorite parts
Check out October by Aha
@ hurleybirdproductions4697
That is definitely the strangest A-ha song I’ve ever heard.
Very unusual. Quite relaxing.
Good call😎👍🏻
“We were soaked in vice” “in our dance hall days” “we were cool on Christ”
That is what it actually says. Words are deceiving
This song predates GTA Vice City by 18 years and now we are 19 years past that god time flies by fast.
😮
I've said it before, Saturday night, cheap wine, but good wine, '80's music on youtube. Maybe some '80's movies later on...BEST DECADE EVER!!! I miss my friends from those days. I absolutely miss the music.
Airbender 4, yes, I get horrible melancholy when I think about how great the 80s were, especially the music... they were full of optimism. The world now is much more cynical and dysfunctional.
I'm 53 years old and feel exactly the same, I miss all disco night dances
Good ideeas my friend
Agreed 1000%. The 1980's music was so different from so many bands-- they seemed to use all the instruments they could get their hands on to layer the sound of a song-- used all the tools in the box, so to speak. Now-- not sure I hear anything different in any genre; country sounds the same, pop/rb/soul sounds the same and they use sampling, looping and autotune-- nobody is going to actually convince me they are musicians/singers learning their craft as much as they are convenience and routine. The 1980's are so far above what's going on today, and it's not even close.
Great time for me growing up!
Most of us either remember this from the 80’s or gta vice city, now we have the younger generation knowing this song from cobra kai
Indeed!
Or Hank Schrader having a party for Walter H. White
@FGW man you're 15, lots more good days to come
Don't be sad
xD
You youngsters need to listen to more new wave 👂
I'm 31 and still got memories of this song playing while flying the helicopter on GTA San Andreas, I can't believe it still comes into my head! Thanks GTA!
Any one in 2024 with full of nostalgia vibes ,✌️🫰🥹, god I love Vice City game, that drove my childhood 😭❤️, god knows why old songs are sooo good !!! If you reading this , 'you are a beautiful person' :)
I'm feeling a little "wang chung" today....that's why i'm here.
💃🏽🥳🕺🏽i am here 🤗 Happy Mery chrismas and a Happy New Year 2025 🎉🎄🥳🎄🥳🎄🥳🎄🥳to all 🍻🍻🥃🎉🎉🎉
This song is so damn haunting... While it is indeed upbeat, it just chills me down to my soul...
Bill the Fifth I know what you mean. It’s definitely got a haunting element. It makes me nostalgic for things I haven’t even experienced yet if that makes sense.
It’s like it has a magical feel about it.
@@Kingro619 I think along with what you said, strings make it creepy
Simpler times! Love the memories! ❤
The nostalgia is strong on this one 🖖 The 1980s so long old friend
This song is stuck in my head…
Ahh the 80s! The only time in history when it was acceptable to tuck your sweater into your trousers
And the only time it was acceptable to wear a plain t shirt with a suit coat.
With the sleeves rolled up.......
Yes 😂👌
No no never has been and if there’s any justice in the universe never will be 😛😏
Lol..exactly 💖
Well to be fair, the fashion of the 80's was recovering from the fashion of the 70's, which were dark times indeed.
I used to work at a pet store and sometimes we’d have the 80s station on. Me and my friend Sean would hear this song sometimes and wonder what the hell the lyrics were. He died a few years back, not even 30. Now whenever this (or a few other songs) pop up, I think of him. Rest in peace buddy
This will forever be a hood classic 😂
You said it Squigga
Certified
Damn right- good songs of any style transcend across all cultures.
Yessir 🫡❤
And YOU need HER and ShE needs YOU .
This reminds me of spring time in the 80's when i was a kid
This reminds me of beating up hookers and blowing up cops with an RPG.
The Cthulhu hahaha omg you just made my day!
from a time when everyone knew they needed a video...but had no idea what to put in it.
well said! :o)
so many videos from those days had nothing to do with what they were singing about in the song; too funny
and it still worked somehow!
takes me back to the 80s instantly. I feel so old the amount of people goin on about a play station game here like it's a legendry game, wen this sing come out spectrum an commodore 16 was the new thing lol
Duggy Dee.. Lol.. True
Vice City, is, indeed, a legendary game. :D
Duggy Dee I was trying to remember what game I heard it from. I knew it was a GTA game. this really takes me back to vice city
I was about 3 when this song came out but I did play a games console and it had 4 bit sound quality I used to play Astrosmash and battle tanks on the intellivision back then so old school it had a wood effect finish.
Commodore 64
One of my all time favorite songs of the 80’s best times growing up out of high school 1981 then it was clubs and more clubs 80’s music never to be duplicated ever this era was our 50 60 70 those eras had there’s we had our and the woman dress to the nines smokin hot leggings mini skirts poofy hair
Please bring back the 80's Music!!!!
As you wish...
Sparkling Silver Diamonds synth wave or vaporwave look it up
It's here! On youtube! What else do you need?
@@DrWhom 80s music is antimusic, and it must be forgotten
i wish i was born in 1970. i would be a teenager and rockin it in the awesome 80s
I was born in 1970, too! Being a teen in the '80s wasn't bad, but I got bullied a lot because I was a New Waver surrounded by jocks. I also didn't smoke, and smoking was EVERYWHERE back then. I don't miss the smoking at all.
@@solinvictus39 I was born in 68, the 80s was the best time of my life, wish I could go back
@@liamregan7418 same thing ...disaster started with nirvana
You would had loved it in the 80's.
It was AWESOME!
The movie "The idea of you" (2024) includes this amazing song. ❤
GTA Vice City also
I miss the the 80s. JCrew the GAP. Hanging in malls. Friday night dances. Beach summers. Freestyle biking. Skateboarding.
Moments like these are why I keep coming back to RUclips, depsite the horrible fighting between complete strangers. I don't even know why but i had this song just pop into my head today. It reminds me of much happier days. Thank you to the person who kindly posted it, I appreciate it very much.
Just experienced this today! Here I am! 😂 Such great music!
"Age-restricted video" Why? For showing warplanes?
My guess is 1:02
The libraries at both my middle and high schools were also our public libraries. (Extremely small town..) A book was "redlined" when an adult would report that it was inapprioriate by age or just was 'questionable'. The recommendations weren't vetted in any way. The librarian simply took a red sharpie and drew a line through the shelfing tag. In other words most were verboten to us students on the advice of elderly women with a lot of cats and even more bitterness. Probably their racist book ever was Gone With The Wind...
I see these women behind the warning on this video.
the lead singer's just too sexy
The unclothed children, probably.
I was wondering the same thing
As long as everybody has fun tonight, then everybody will wang chung tonight.
FaceRip I ate some laChoy earlier 😀
LaChoy? How did that work out for you? Was it good?
Yeeeessss 😀 hoping that you realize I bought the kit to make it at the store
I'm not following you. You bought a kit, but then you made it at the store? Please explain yourself. If you refuse to explain yourself, penalties will be created and enforced.
Grocery store like Winn Dixie in their ethnic foods aisle.
There another “Dance Hall Days” video besides this one. But I enjoy them both❤️
I grew up to this song 76 baby
for all of you gta players I thank rockstar for teaching you young gamers about music
76 what
1976 baby i was born lol year of the dragon
I regrettably was born in 02, however my family practically hid all present day music, and songs like these are my childhood, although it did take Vice City to remind me of this specific song
I get annoyed with those get upset, because Vice city brought we here, I mean not everybody and especially the teenage generation who played GTA Vice city (when came released), we were not had the chance to live the whole eighties age, (even many wasn't borned yet), so this was an way to re-discover this magnificie music, so proudly, GTA Vice city brought me here.
Gabriel Sulmonetti Exactly! This was a fucking awesome time be a kid. Anyone who wasn't alive during this time could not understand it. The music and movies of the 80s are pretty much the best way to project those feelings. Not hating on GTA Vice City at all. They have really good taste in music. And glad youngsters have an outlet to learn about that special time/era in pop culture. There was such diversity and creativity in the 80s. I want to rip my ears off when I hear what's on the radio stations today.
Gabriel Sulmonetti I agree with you i'm glad that GTA exposed this generation to 80's music like you said some of these kids weren't born during the 80's and the 90's
I got you, well enjoy, the 1980's was a blast for me ass a young boy ten those teenage years. Nothing but neon lights everywhere and the club scene was awesome. I miss those days, but like another great song by Prince during those times said, Life is just a party and parties weren't meant to last and that went for the 1980's.
I lived the 80s,they weren't that good,rose coloured spectacles!
Its not like its not on the radio
Wang Chung was one of the masters of 1980s music video romanticism. Masterpiece.
JEWEL..,SONG 🤓🤓🤓🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰80S POWER FOREVER.....TIMELESS 🇨🇱🎸🎸🎸
The best decade for growing up as a kid and teen,I had a very happy childhood thanks dad and everyone at Sant Anthony village high school, go big blue!
