Love this song.... I was a child when it came out but it's one that left an impression still love it to this day. The 80s was a great time for music ❤️
The year I turned 9 my family travelled by car from Eidsvoll (close to the capital Oslo) and all the way to Nordkapp (the furthest northern point in mainland Norway). To accompany us on the trip was a casette with comedy sketches interspersed by the pop-music of the time. For a couple of weeks this was the soundtrack of my life. Nostalgic to hear it again, for sure.
Man, It should be STILL the soundtrack of your life. Whatever happens. Don't forget the music that made your live. Let's keep listening.... (and sorry about my grammar, I'm learning)
@@sergiojaviercastrotorres1902 I just found out this was a cover version of an Erasure song, so you live and learn something new every day. Don't worry about your grammar, it can't be perfect from the start.
That really does sound like a beautiful memory. Travelling from the town where the Norwegian constitution was written to mainland Norway's most northern point, listening to classic 80s music.
@1O8Op in 2OO9? 🤔 right?!? Like how people who grew up with digital cameras think that just because they take a pic on a 35mm, it's automatically 'cool', strictly due to the fact that it's taken 'on film'?! Hahaaa
The original never got airplay. 80's DJs were notorious for loving the sound of their own voices. Plus commercial radio stations could only play 6 hours of music daily!
I left school, aged 16, in 1987 and went onto a Youth Training Scheme (YTS) and immediately fell for a girl on one of the courses. Sadly that didn't work out but I remember this song fondly because of it.
Wehmütig erinnere ich mich da an eine Zeit, wo sogar Erwachsene sich als Commanche verkleiden durften und dabei ein Liedchen trällerten - ja, damals gab es noch wahre (künstlerische) FREIHEIT. Werde trotz der Kulturaneignung danach YMCA anschauen, wo es doch tatsächlich auch noch ein Indianerkostüm gibt...
Amazing Dollar were still having hits 10 years after they started. They survived the early 80s british pop explosion where tehy coulda got buried under all the acts. But few of those huge superstar groups could still have hits in the late 80s. Dollar had a very rollercoaster ride career with like 3 waves of success. They didnt really have stability they had to fight for every hit.
@@isotopia7681 they just made great pop music that still holds up. I dont think they ever had a strong fanbase, sold albums, big concerts, or made any money. Just great pop singles. Their trevor horn singles are 80s masterpieces.
@@en6278 100% agree. I have been a fan since the early eighties. It annoys me that they have often been derided when the hits and so many of their other songs were so good, utilising the technology of the time to amazing effect. Without Trevor Horn's work with them the eighties might have turned out very differently and not as richly. He essentially created the eighties sound yet whenever he is credited with pushing the sonic boundaries of what the technology could be made to do, Dollar is very rarely mentioned. The performance at the Princes Trust concert in 2004 is superb. I listen to a lot of music of various genres. The Dollar album remains one of the best albums of the last forty years in my book.
@@NeilCWCampbell David Van Day was punching-he was also a a rather good looking bloke-very confused by your comment! + this is coming from a straight male!
I do like Dollars cover of Erasures song a year before so catchy works well with David and Thereza 2voices hand and hand guy and girl fantastic ive got the long version of this brilliant on my 80s remixed CD it's superb done in the last year.This part of the greatest decade of all time never to forget miss it so much oh hail the 80s
Interesting. Erasure did a lot of covers, but this was their original song - and it took merely one year (1986-1987) untill somebody (Dollar) made a cover.
@@brucedanton3669 I don't think the Normans would have approved of Dollar. Good job they turned up in 1066 and not 1988 otherwise they might have legged it back to Normandy.
The sleeve design and photography for this release was the most stunning of their career, which makes it that much more surprising to find out, all these years later, that the video was a cheap and dissapointing affair. What a missed opportunity. It was a very impressive idea to cover Oh L'amour and the result was a brilliant pop single. They should have tried harder with the video, to match the class of the packaging.
@@sophiafakevirus-ro8ccgrainy footage of people fooling around on a pier, as opposed to a studio set up with flattering lighting and extensive post-production. They don't come off great in the video- if they had combined the hand held, sloppy footage with beautiful studio close ups that could have made a lovely video. A nice finished product. This was several years after expensive, epic videos by the likes of A-ha, and when 'Oh L'amour' was released, artists like Rick Astley or Bananarama to name a few, had immaculate-looking, slick and very impressive videos out in heavy rotation. Like I said in my original comment, alot of work went into the packaging and the advertisements for this single, and this is why the video left me wanting more. A Great single nevertheless.
@@loiteringwithintent461 We spent a day on Hastings pier, in the cold, damp and grey. The Dollars pretended to like each other, but were both incredibly grumpy and demanding. I was an extra, we wandered around, pretending to be friends enjoying the day out. That's all there was to it, a phoney pop video for two phoney people.
I think once a person is set-up to become a musical performer and hits some basic fane. That when there shop life is over. They still need that attention.

Always loved this better than Erasure version despite little difference between them....if only I could go back to 1987 ...childhood memories
@ricopimento never knew about the 2003 remix , interesting....Will check it out
Love this song.... I was a child when it came out but it's one that left an impression still love it to this day. The 80s was a great time for music ❤️

@@gaylelucas6295 I like the Erasure version but I think I prefer this one. One thing is for sure, you've got great taste in music! 😉
Still a great song after all this time 🙂 David was gorgeous 😉
The 80's was music. Period. Different sounds all the time. I was 8 in 1980. Still my favorite decade for music. So fun, and different.

Electronic duo Orbital sampled this track on their masterpiece Style and in the video of Style it's possibile watch some part of this video.
Memories of playing this to the pub crowds back in 2005-2006 come flooding back....the dance floor was NEVER empty.....
good times back then can't be repeated best time of my life
This and Mirror Mirror are fantastic songs x
Hand held in black and white and Videotheque are also top tunes.

Remember these two in Guys n Dolls? Theres a whole lotta lovin...😊
loved her big time xxxxx cor
Oh Yes Ian, Me too. Lol .What A Beautiful Woman
They produced some catchy stuff!!!
this woman is beautiful 😍
How many people thought this was the original not a cover?
😂 Written by
Andy Bell [GB1], Vince Clarke in 1986 and this version is from 1987!
The original never got airplay.
80's DJs were notorious for loving the sound of their own voices.
Plus commercial radio stations could only play 6 hours of music daily!
I prefer it to the Erasure version
❤❤😊😊❤
His voice is what makes the song.
And hers as well.
I only discovered this 3 weeks ago, I can't get enough of it 😂. Born in the wrong era man.
Very good and a tribute to Mr Bell and his team from the 1980s 2:27

Music 🎶 from 70s ,80s and 90s is the best 👌 .Born in 1984 I did not know about this song until now .I like it
Dollar superb band love you and your music
I am happy when I listen this song !! Great great song !
Great song, vid made me smile.
Even in my absolute total goth days i had a soft spot for dollar and still do
Too good...
Love it ❤😂
Best decade for great music and top 10 hits.
Just amazing xx
I can't tell who's better: The Erasure band from UK, or here.
The melody still remains the same, a timeless song masterpiece.
Dollar is from the UK too, friend

Wooooooow sooooow beautiful I can remember this music wooooooow video is awesome 🎶 🎵 😍
Pure gold.

Got here by a strange route...forgot all about this song...wouldn't have liked it in the 80s, but I love now😊

A true masterpiece by. Earuser
This flashback music "Dollar with L'amour" is more Christmassy than the flashback music "Oh L'Amour by Erasure".
