Still a Sloane Ranger/West End Girl
And proud of it.
Stacey LaValley Lambert I miss the 80s sloane rangers. Knightsbridge isn’t the same these days...
Good on you 😘
time flies‼️🤓I'm 50still listening‼️👍️🙆
West end girls...dead end world
Good on you Madam 🙌🏽👌🏽
After more then 35 years still that same great voice from Neil and Chris beats still catchy as ever!
The best!!!👍👏👏🔝🔝🔝
That’s what happens when your singing style doesn’t strain your vocal chords.
I love the fact the song has an up beat tempo but the song lyrics and tone make me feel melancholy at the same time.
There hasn't been a better long-lasting, loved, group!!!
Go!!!!!! And jump higher!
The quality of their songs shines here
Listening to this song for more than 30 years and never get bored of it. ❤️
Im 61 now. But when i listen to this song, i’m 26 again. Thank you Pet Shop Boys!
Yes, this Song is Amazing
52 and 16 respectively, here. But I exactly agree. One of the best and most-beloved singles ever released. And I love this LOCKDOWN mix.
Me tooooooo 😊😊😊
not far behind you and likewise!! Its like they have mixed west end girls with Nothing Has Been Proved from the film, really works
The same
This is the definition of timeless: they adapted this song to a modern era top hit.
Epic
I’ve always considered synth-pop and that kinda euphoric electronic music timeless.
Because it’s the kind of music that makes you think of images of like a properly futuristic world, flying cars, utopian cities and such, because we haven’t seen that future yet, that kind of music will always permanently sound like the future, if you follow me.
It’ll stay timeless and remain futuristic, until we’re seeing and living in the future we’d imagine to come someday.
Fucking brilliant!!!! The Boys are back...Cheers!!!
@@JColiveri (Fucking brilliant)³
And still sounds so much better than anything done today
The Pet Shop Boys are like fine wine. They just get better and better...
Spot on
Mi piacciono molto questi PET shop boys , fino a oggi , ragazzi puliti e ordinati , senza tatuaggi , e molto educato sul palco nei concerti , ragazzi fina a questa età di oggi , galante e serio ❤
Shame that they haven't released any great album anymore since 2009. It has been the same sort Stuart Price stuff ever since.
Maaaaan his voice hasn't lost a bit! This is beyond great.
I thought the slight whispy croak in the lower part are adding the dusty to his voice.
The Pet Shop Boys do the best remixes themselves. This 80s touch minimalistic video is awesome.
Original is over 30 years old, and yet I love every remake. Simply amazing.
PSB will never run out of new arrangements of WEG.
It was 30 years ago?!!! Now I'm feeling old. PSB sounded completely different to anything at that time. I remember rushing out to get the 12" version but I was living at home then which would make it more like 1984-85. 35-36 years ago and can still the excitement of playing the record for the 1st time on repeat, that faint smell of new vinyl in a plain white card sleeve with a hole in the middle to see the record label. Good memories.
Gwar's remake is pretty dope
almost 40 years!!!
@@darwi4 35 years old came out in 1985
I love it, 35 years after still sounds fresh.
This song will sound fresh a thousand years from now.
"The year 3000 may still come to pass, but the music will last"
This song is so intense that it spans generations without aging
So good. THIS should be released as a pandemic-single. I absolutely love the heavy bass.
Sigh... I was 18 when the original was released. To this day, no matter the version, I'm listening and enjoying it! 💯 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🏆
A timeless song and a song not many seem to dislike mate. It just had a magic about it that only a few songs have
21
Still my favorite band
13 here when it came out. Still love this song 30+ years later.
Yes sir! Good times
That's what happens when you are a genius! No matter how much time has passed; your songs never get old.
This was my first dance with what was to become my wife , I was Dad dancing at 23 , this was always our song so to say. Lost her to C six years ago miss her dreadfully still but, I did dance to this tonight and had a bloody good cry . Love the PSB.
Good on you for being able to share that lovely memory. Music is such a wonderful catharsis isn't it
Know how you feel...also lost my partner 16 years ago...miss him terribly. A hug to you.
I don't usually like "redos" but this KILLED it. So much yes.
was going to type this exact...
Just like the old one. Well, almost.
Thank you, your negative killed this well done 👍
Agreed 100%
It's as good as it can get !
As fresh as the day it was released. This performance cements just how timeless a song this is and a band they are.
Said everything I was going to say. They're timeless. They'll feel as fresh in fifty years time.
This is a timeless classic. I remember being in London 1986, WEG was huge, it was a landmark. This new version is great, 34 years on, Thank you Pet Shop Boys.
Their first hit single, and amongst their best, the video is beautifully done, been a fan since 85, I'm 66 now and still a massive PSB fan. Nice one boys.
Gentlemen, this version NEEDS to be released to radio, NOW!
The radio? How old are you??
@@MachiavellisThePrince old enough to have first experienced this song on the radio! 🤪
@@timmmahhhh Thank you. To this day, artists get paid more (and more consistently) when the song is played on radio, over online. And, hey: If I have to listen to these teens and 20-somethings on constant replay on radio, I should get to hear some quality tunes from the seasoned, veteran pros...
@@MachiavellisThePrince Radio is still a thing... how young are you lol
Radio is something you listen to in a car, when you don't want to fall asleep behind the wheel.
how this group can be so perfect and sofisticated after 35 years ? Far the best. WEST! Excelent version. Has to be the first song on the future concert! Neil! Chris! Thank You so much
No wonder you guys have been my favourite music act since 1985 and you guys are my all time favourite music act of all time you're truly awesome thank you guys.
Adrian Williams i feel the same !! So amazing guys !
Ditto
One of the most infamous duo's from the 80's still strong in the 21st century. Thanks Pet Shop Boy's!
When there is talent, there is talent ... a sublime version
You make me cry. My father loves ur music. He died last year but I Think that he likes so much this song if he still alive.
Ps: sorry for my basic english
😎👍🏽
Hi bro .....sorry to hear that.....may he rest in peace
Pets shop boys one of my favourite too....good musical....keep it up listening to the music....🙂👍
May he rest in peace , he had an elegant taste ..
My Dad turned me on to Pet Shop Boys too, love their music. God bless you brother, may your father rest in peace.
He's probably nodding and smiling right now!
The best artists of the 1980's have returned to save music in the 2020's era horray!
Roger Stephen Roth Who else has released videos? I’ve only seen this one just now.
Brilliant idea boss..!
@@PumpkinPails A few notables I saw: Toto-Africa. Crowded House-Don't Dream it's Over. Modern English-Melt. Plenty of others I'd imagine. Enjoy!
I meant, yep !!
@@BWM135 Peter Schilling is a great one too!
He has such a smooth sweet sounding voice. How does it sound so good at his age? His voice sounds exactly the same!
This needs to be on Spotify ASAP !!!!
👍🙏
If have Android use videoder
Do it NOW!
Brilliant version. Best yet. Love Chris's hand moving at the end. Should release that version as a single. WHY, why not.
Certainly could be a way that they could reach the top ten again
@@stevebeck7858 No. That's just over for them, no matter what they come up with. Only a few fans and 80ies freaks would buy another version of this. The kids of today will never feel the same what we've felt back then hearing this.
@@IsMirEgal2010 Technically speaking, no one has to depend on the "kids today" to make any song a Top 10 hit. The big labels don't pay much attention to quality. They want $$$. Who has that? We do. $$$ talks. As cynical as that sounds it's true. I love PSB. In fact, I feel that they transcend generations. So, if it means that it will get them to the Top 10 (or higher), yeah, I will give the labels what they want - MONEY!
THANK YOU! Oh my god, West End Girls is my favorite song of ALL TIME. WEG has been with me since 1985 for god sakes, no other song in my life comes even close to West End Girls. And to see you Neil, sing it again in 2020 takes me back to when I was a young gay boy listening to you and Chris. You both have made my life even better than it is, I feel like I owe you both something for giving me so much happiness.
Legends never died. Evergreen Pet Shop Boys band is a living legend. My respects to this loving band from India. They're with me from my school life.
Hello from BLR!!!
@@nugambakkam Hello my respected fellow.
@Sascha Linz I love and respects Germany. The true land of music and science. Regards from India.
Absolutely correct !! Greetings from Nottingham, England 🙌🏽
@@dt7449 Thank you Sir.
Sounds like an entirely new song.. what a fantastic update of one of your classics...
Yes! I've never cared for any remix of this most precious song, but this goes directly into my current playlist
yes, brilliant result ☄️
They should do a mini album called "Pandemic"
Perfect idea! Sounds just like one of their titles.
Predicable and pedestrian title, which is not what these guys are about.
True PSB is always cashing in on current affairs.
Brilliant idea! “DISCO” was the soundtrack to much of my troubled teens and got me thru. Chris, Neil - get on this, PlasticVideo’s idea is a great one!
Nadav Drewe “Predictable & Pedestrian” - the new double album from Pet Shop Boys, coming Fall 2020.
The BEST synthpop band ever!!
After OMD ;)
I'm impressed that you can pick a "best" - Human League, Tears for Fears & Depeche Mode all deserve honors too
@@johnnyborealis.. and Erasure
@@MrRoztoc OMD jajajaja
1 pet shop boys 2 depeche mode 3 erasure 4 new order
The PSB’s have been the soundtrack to my life. Every song takes me somewhere and only they could mix the original and make it even more beautiful.
I love it when bands revisit their old classics and give it a modern sheen - It's like tearing open a music portal to two dimensions - Half lost in the sampler heavy era of 1985 and the lush modern electronic sound of 2020. Thanks for that twist on a nostalgic anthem
@Moon shiner If people get to live long enough, they can always do better. If not, others who appreciate them will...
What a back catologue PSB have to choose from!
There's been many Remixes by other people of this tune. But finally the PSB's do a version....AND THIS SHOULD BE RELEASED!!!
Totally agree - I think this version is brilliant and should be released
For a few moments I thought I was back in the 80s. Your music brought peace to my spirit!
The original and this new fresh one will be fresh for another 10,000 years. I never heard something so fresh so real so alive . Makes you forget where you are.
Thanks for the feel good @PetShopBoys! I grew up on your music back in the 80s. Im 41 now. I still love to listen to your music and especially #WestEndGirls. Thanks!!!
He is the reason I still like Pet Shop Boys. From “west end girls” in the ‘80 to now. Wow. Our relationship has really lasted. Lol
me too
Which "He" are you referring too as they are a duo?
Same here
“West End girls” by the Pet Shop Boys takes me back to youth
WHsmith at Victoria train station
rhian jones I feel jung again ,want to 💃
35 years and still Neil and Chris are going strong
It's 37, just saying.. Now that's 2021, it's 38...Just sayin' :):)
PSB 40th anniversary 2021. The soundtrack of my life. I was 10 when I heard West end Girls, and still love and listen to their music today. Especially love the #SocialMedia lyric video :)
Amazing how they renewed the song without betraying its original feeling.
They have got to release this as a single! Unbelievable updated version of their first hit! Fantastic!
A great song transcends time. A modern masterpiece.
2020, the year that the 80's music came back! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Well big hair and shoulder pads are back, so why not the music..I spent my 20s in this time..great memories and can play the music and jump.right back in there.
His voice hasn’t changed one bit. It’s the 1980’s all again.
I *wish*
Yes the 80’s🙂
The voice does not age
wonderful voice!!
@@gloriaracey676 ..but it does change
Without even trying you just proved real music is timeless...
Music is timeless, because "music is what feelings sound like", and feelings, too, are timeless.
Many thanks to Pet Shop Boys that you are still making and playing music!!! Greetings from Germany!
I was only a kid during the 80's and this pandemic made me appreciate the music back then. New wave is the sound of the milieu, an expression of the generation that will never get old. Thank you for reviving this song with a subtly made video. Long live, Pet Shop Boys! Love from the Philippines...💕
A whole album like this please.
Any version of any PSB's song is FABULOUS!
My God what a version!!!!
My playlist since my childhood... Love them both
The song that launched them into worldwide stardom and so timeless. Beautifully redone. So happy you are still going strong
Imagine if they recreated the video for this too, walking through modern day London that would've been Epic
@@MstaEd That will be amazing 😊
@@MstaEd Have you ever been to London? I have worked there for the past 20 years and it is nothing like Pakistan.
@@MstaEd Pakistan was a part of the British Empire. So technically there are now LESS Pakistan people in Britain than they would have been in the old days. At least know your own damn history.
Totally
I still wonder who those people on the original video are and whether they know they're in it.
Big love from Russia! Many thanks!!! WEG was and still is very popular song in ex-USSR
Damn, coming from a hip-hop junkie, I can appreciate the art in this. To take a timeless classic and bring it into the 21st Century without taking anything from the original can only be done by true artists. This sounds amazing.
Quality comment mate. The Pet Shop Boys have often taken a very subtle form of rap in their tunes. Nothing flashy, just a good flow.
It was already a 21st century song when it was released...
@@waylluq It was originally released in 1984 which makes it 20th Century and they remixed it during the lockdown in 2020 which makes it the 21st Century. 👌👌
Yes, I know it. In 1984 I was 13 and that's why I am absolutely sure about Pet Shop Boys sounding like 21st century since then....
@@waylluq Ahhhh ok gotcha, sorry I read your comment wrong. You're absolutely right 👍👍👍👍
I weep listening to these two amazing, and timeless musical geniuses.
Gentlemen, I don't care how you remake this song, it will always be a fabulous song, and your other songs as well, by the fabulous Pet Shop Boys! When someone mentions the songs of the 80's, (and 2020), YOU are at the top! Thank You! ❤️🙏
Sounds so fresh and perfect as it was from the very beginning.
2:05 , 2:46 , great melodic change! ..and the voice at the chorus is better than orginal. Finally the old PSB!!!
Neil Tennant has the voice of an angel 😇
From day one you both have made absolutely brilliant music. And it amazes me that you can keep re-imagining your music, over and over. This example of an iconic song (as well as others from your catalog) that have been reworked in so many flavors and at different times throughout your careers, don't disappoint. With many other artists there is the original version of a song and it becomes a 'sacred cow' never to be changed or altered and if by chance it does , many times it is bungled and changed into something inferior or lesser and the core/sole of the the original is lost. You both seem to be able to keep the body of the original song, yet allow it to don different clothes and therefore seem new while also remaining comfortable and familiar. Thank you Both!!
FYI: I am a lifetime consumer of hard rock and metal but I was introduced to your music by a friend in the mid 1980's and I am glad to say I am still an avid fan of your music to this day.
Close my eyes and listening to this takes me back to my school days can see my friends and memories of some people who are no longer around, its a strange mixture of nostalgia with a hint of melancholy
This version is amazing! Can't get enough of that sick beat.
Who born on 70', 80, 90', I still love this song
I love this Song.! Best wishes from Brazil.
🇧🇷
Eternos
THIS SOUNDS INCREDIBLE wow- still sound as good as always, vocals on this even better than original no stacking needed! sounds great guys!
No
Miming
Autotune or lip syncing
@@Standard_Jay when you don't have proofs, don't say...
@@Gazeld He's lip syncing, watch carefully. He's a fraction late a couple of times, plus with singing there's a lot of breathing involved, yet he's just moving his lips. Also, he's 66 years old.
Just happened to see this in my recommendations list and glad I clicked on it. The OG version is classic, but this one is a great dance version, too. Love the back beats. The lead singer's voice is still as good as ever. Brings back memories of my college days and watching the video on MTV every weekend. #ImmaOldFart 😆
T.L. Davidson if you listening to this in your college days, like I was, it really should be #ImmaMiddleAgeFart lol
Hunni at 53, i just got my 80s life all over again. Still sounds great after all these yrs!!! Will NEVER be another era nor generation like Gen X!! We had it good!😁
Just fell in love with this song all over again, God I love the 80's! 😎
Love to everybody in world, especially, the West End Girls and the Pet Shop Boys.
Let's not forget the East End boys! 😁
HIGH VIBRATIONS FOR YOU TOO MARE COSTELLO,FROM «¡THE PURA VIDA COUNTRY!!!» ;-)
Love this version, thank you. To be back in the 80s again......... sigh!!!!!
I bought this tune in the 80's. Thank you gentlemen ! Yuma,Arizona USA
Please drop this to Apple Music, I can't live without it in my daily life
I’ve had an awful day, but this made me smile.
I hope your week is a gentle one Simon.
Sorry to hear bud, hopefully you are doing much better now? :)
Feel better!
Hope things go better mate =)
I hope everything is going better now
OMG... This just brought back SO many memories, and I still remember every word. Ahhhh...
I hear ya Sandy 🎵80s♥
I have loved their music for 30 years
This is fantastic. When Chris hits that deep sound on the instrumentals.love this.
They are one of the best English pop groups of all times. They are great
i was 7 years old when i first heard your music in the late 80's, starting with domino dancing on MTV. I feel like this is my best chance to thank you for your music and expressing how much I've enjoyed it being in my life.
Seeing Chris press on those chords once again after 30 years makes me feel so emotional. How come time passed so fast.
Big respect to psb for keeping it alive for us
In every city and every nation
from Lake Geneva to the Finland station
Referring to Lenin's journey on an armoured train from Switzerland to the Finland Station in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in 1917.
As well as American critic Edmund Wilson's classic history of Marxism 'To the Finland Station' - Neil Tennant read history at university.
Far much better
I do know PSB love Russia and Russia loves PSB
If? When? Why? What? How much have you got?
This should definitely be re-released as a special CD or 12" vinyl with a couple more classic lockdown re-versions of some other singles !
They're not touring this year so...plenty of time to compose loads of new songs. I'm pretty sure we will have christmas present thia year!
I’d buy it
Who would buy it in the days of Ed Sheeran?
Love this new version, great baseline! 👏👏
I was 3 years old and remember this video on MTV.. (when MTV played videos).. aaahhh nostalgia. . The 80s was the best hands down.
What a great version!!!
This version is amazing.
I want this on Spotify.
This was exactly the energy I needed to day, thank you from Oregon!
this new melody is just 20% more awesome than never before ........ so good as the same heaven
Perfect version, vocals and mix. Please, please release.
His voice hasn't changed one bit. In over 30 years. Pure Classic
This needs to be on Apple Music, Spotify, etc.
For now just have to make do with the RUclips MP3 version
A timeless classic stays a timeless classic.
This song sounds as fresh today as the first time that I heard it in the mid-80s. PSB one of the groups to add the soundtrack to my life. Thank you boys!! Love from London - Always!!
Exelente espectacular, muy fino estilo, no pierde la esencia del original, gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
Excellent spectacular, very fine style, does not lose the essence of the original, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Buenos Aires.
Tomorrow is now......A PSB classic which has never dated to me - remember Neil & Chris performing this on TOTP in their unique style - stay safe, stay well 😷X
The original version of WEG has now been voted the best ever British chart number 1 single!
I grew up in the 90s with the sounds of Pet Shop Boys' music (my, dad had a few cassettes). I loved them then. And then dove deeper in my teenage years with ownership of a walkman. And now, with streaming music, I continue to listen to these gems. Their unique sound still resonates.
