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.
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 ❤
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.
@@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...
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.
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
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.
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....🙂👍
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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.
@@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!
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!
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.
I'm pretty sure they're just not fond of the new version and prefer the 80's version. I personally do prefer the very original version, but this new version is allright and I ain't disliking.
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.
@@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. 👌👌
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!!!
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
@@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.
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.
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!😁
@@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.
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! ❤️🙏

Stylish as it could be. This "updated" version sounds fresh, relaxing and catchy. It also emanates certain delicateness to our ears, and at the same time projects levels of past memories once you close your eyes and totally recall the original version back in 1986. Some youngsters (friends of my 29-year-old daughter) got surprised when I was invited to a grupal chat in order to talk about music. They realize I'm listening to Pet Shop Boys and one of them vividly asked: "Why do you keep on listening to those guys after all these years?". I said: "Young man, knowing your present, there must be a travel to the past. Things now look cool to you, but deep in your soul, you're looking for something you can actually feel and live it just by listening to it. Nowadays a record goes out every 15 minutes, but floats around for awhile. When you listen to the 80s, you get to know most of the music produced in that decade, it still affects today's musicians. Pet Shop Boys belongs to the soundtrack of my life and they were a key act back then. Being younger than you all are now. I listened to "West End Girls" at age 13. Most of you are almost 30. When you were 13, you could not listen to something you would eventually put it as proof of how great your life has been (listening to music then and doing it now). So why do you think I was invited to this chat anyway?". Then, they all agreed by asking: "Can you please tell us more?" 🎶🎵😀
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...💕
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
I'm proud these boys are "FAMILY" if you know what i mean guys. THE BEST iconic gay band of all time in my honest opinion. They just continue to reinvent themselves over and over again. Just brilliant and as others have stated his voice hasn't changed one bit.
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.
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 😆
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
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.
His voice hasn't changed one bit. In over 30 years. Pure Classic

My older brother just told me he is fascinated by listening (3 times already) to this version. He Actually realized was something completely new from what we both heard 34 years ago. By the way 😃 when the re-recorded version came out (Stephen Hague's Please version that is), we had MTV here via a local cable station in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Because there was no other way recording the song, I had to stand holding a radio and recording the song directly from the TV's speaker. So, yes, for us having a chance of listening to this right after what we experienced, is literally out of this world. Thank you Mr. Tennant and Lowe for the memories.
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.
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
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
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!!!

Shame that they haven't released any great album anymore since 2009. It has been the same sort Stuart Price stuff ever since.

Listening to this song for more than 30 years and never get bored of it. ❤️
Original is over 30 years old, and yet I love every remake. Simply amazing.
PSB will never run out of new arrangements of WEG.

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
One of the most infamous duo's from the 80's still strong in the 21st century. Thanks Pet Shop Boy's!
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 !
So good. THIS should be released as a pandemic-single. I absolutely love the heavy bass.
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.
This song is so intense that it spans generations without aging
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
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.
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.
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

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!
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.
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

My playlist since my childhood... Love them both
I'm proud these boys are "FAMILY" if you know what i mean guys. THE BEST iconic gay band of all time in my honest opinion. They just continue to reinvent themselves over and over again. Just brilliant and as others have stated his voice hasn't changed one bit.
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!!!» ;-)
2:05 , 2:46 , great melodic change! ..and the voice at the chorus is better than orginal. Finally the old PSB!!!
A whole album like this please.
Neil Tennant has the voice of an angel 😇
Please drop this to Apple Music, I can't live without it in my daily life
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.
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?
They are one of the best English pop groups of all times. They are great
This needs to be on Apple Music, Spotify, etc.
For now just have to make do with the RUclips MP3 version
What a great version!!!
I love this Song.! Best wishes from Brazil.
🇧🇷
Eternos
Every time I listen to the Pet Shop Boys, I get excited about life. They’re true artists.
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
Perfect version, vocals and mix. Please, please release.
I absolutely love this. Brings back fond memories from my youth. Long live The Pet Shop Boys !!!!
💜
👍😎👍
👍
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
Love this new version, great baseline! 👏👏
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.
OMG... This just brought back SO many memories, and I still remember every word. Ahhhh...
I hear ya Sandy 🎵80s♥
Love this version, thank you. To be back in the 80s again......... sigh!!!!!
Sounds so fresh and perfect as it was from the very beginning.
I weep listening to these two amazing, and timeless musical geniuses.
This version is amazing! Can't get enough of that sick beat.
This video has the highest ratio of likes to plays on RUclips I have ever seen. Thumbs up!
His voice hasn't changed one bit. In over 30 years. Pure Classic
My older brother just told me he is fascinated by listening (3 times already) to this version. He Actually realized was something completely new from what we both heard 34 years ago. By the way 😃 when the re-recorded version came out (Stephen Hague's Please version that is), we had MTV here via a local cable station in La Romana, Dominican Republic. Because there was no other way recording the song, I had to stand holding a radio and recording the song directly from the TV's speaker. So, yes, for us having a chance of listening to this right after what we experienced, is literally out of this world. Thank you Mr. Tennant and Lowe for the memories.
But the very first version was not good.
@@norbertNH Indeed was not. Orlando's version sounded and felt like a demo. Also is spiritless, dull and mechanical.
yes, it sounded like a demo
This is fantastic. When Chris hits that deep sound on the instrumentals.love this.
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.
