Mason Garett hahahaha of course she knows about it! Gavin and Robinson admitted it. Also, how would it be possible for EVERYONE else to know and not Gwen? I remember a few years ago she spoke about it in a magazine interview, but I forgot which one. It's not that big of a deal nor "scandalous" he just dated another person :)
Not just gay teenagers, it was every workingclass teenager, the early 80's was a time where, dressing up was the nearest we got to art and escapism from those who saw us as nothing more than factory fodder (if you could get a job). Regardless of intelligence, aspirations was educated out if us!!! They couldn't take our clothes, make-up or music from us. Thank the Lord for Charity Shops!!!
I was 9 years old when this came out. As a young kid I couldn't determine if this was a man or a woman, but it didn't matter, us kids still loved the song and the video. There was no judgement by us as children - we just accepted it. Watching this today I realise that prejudice towards non-binary people is learned behaviour.
When I wasss a Toddler I used to love it when Boy George came on TV cos I used to think he was a Circus Clown cos of all the make-up. Used to love it. Still love them both
I thought how beautiful they both looked & both had amazing voices, also loved the way people dressed in the 80's , I was a teenager but sadly wasn't allowed to go crazy with the fashion like these had the chance too. 😁
I love this song so much and Marilyn's style. Very ahead of its time. RIP Claudia Fontaine (lead backing singer). It would've been a big deal for any black person being an ally of Marilyn's, and still would be today.
This song takes me back to the 80s and my discovery of Cafes ,cigarettes ,make up ! Duran Duran ( boys were not a thought at that time ! ) Cigarette rolling machine ,peppermint tea ! Good friends ! Always something to laugh about 😂 just being crazy or so we thought edgy I guess you would call it ! Thankyou so much it elevates my energy !❤
I was working in Heaven nightclub in London at this time. I remember he did a show and there were hundreds of screaming teenagers. After they were done we found a pile of unopened fan mail dumped on the floor backstage. Some of them were eyewatering. Things that teenagers wanted to do to him or have him do to them! 😂
I've commented on this video before, but will again today. I was a boy of 9 years of age at the time this song came out. I am now 48. I distinctly remember at the time upon seeing Marilyn & being absolutely star struck, thinking to myself this guy is so fucking glamorous and beautiful. Fast forward to now, and I am still that boy of 9 years. Love you Marilyn xxx 😘
your sinisterly pleased, you have noticed he's a white horse riding closeted trans hateful femcel with a hair flick tick that can't string two words together and is a rather uncouth Very unatractive spanial with the slobbers now?
I am SO glad I found this song again! Love it! And Marilyn STILL looks amazing today. Hair is a bit short but hell!! And the makeup is a turn on...hey, loved Nick Rhoades so....lol
@@TheDebski2222 She died last year, on 14th March 2018. According to Marilyn's Instagram he sang at her memorial service. www.theguardian.com/music/2018/mar/14/goodbye-claudia-fontaine-the-unknown-famous-face-of-80s-pop
Boy George and Culture Club win hands down with many more hits and much larger cultural impact. This song, however, was fantastic and Marilyn was an interesting and welcome addition to the scene.
It wasn’t a claim, it was a fact (and it wasn’t the bag that I gave a shit about, it was the five grand in cash that was in it and my credit cards that I cared about!! They were caught anyway, so whatever!! )
+Mr Marilyn Ain't that true, gorgeous? Reading these comments has me laughing at the lives they must lead to write some of the things that have been written here. Still listening (Janine Bignell BTW). Lots of love xox
I’m 52 now, but I remember this coming out. I feel he was a bit overshadowed with some of the bands at the time, and Live Aid etc. But actually it’s a great song, and still catchy today.
Marilyn never gets the credit he deserves for music! Beautiful soulful voice, heartfelt lyrics, catchy pop structures and he writes his songs all by himself!!
True! He’s a truly great person.And a spunk! And on the side, can pull off an awesome Marilyn M clone more than most. He truly lived it Boy George said and now best friends 40 years. Ground breaker! I just love him presently. Had a big Pete Burns, watch ‘everything’ bender when he died too. My first ‘tape’ I bought at 7 ( with parents with great taste) was ‘Colour By Numbers’! I turned out a pretty fabulous individual human being too!! 🤘🏼👌🏼🖤
Perfection. Image, life, taste, personality, blatant ‘normal’ person to me as in myself and lifelong community, content in himself from a young age as who he really is, at an age we were spoilt with cool stuff, we made our own decisions, understood unsaid differing/ interesting things and lived it before reined in political correctness. Great boy/ girl androgynous era. Went either way too if you think of bands like The Eurythmics. I’m 43 and this was my era. My first bought tape at 7 was Culture Club, ‘Colour By Numbers’. I turned out to be a rather awesome individual generally too! Born in Kingston, Jamaican/ English, ooh la lah!
Marilyn is amazing and he made the 80's the best times....my friend and I were both Marilyn and Boy George fans and we actually use to dress like these 2 and we are females... This brings back memories of the good times and the 80's were those for sure...
I must say, at the time this was out, we kids in America were nuts about Boy George , and were really enjoying watching Transgender performers becoming MAINSTREAM. Dead or Alive was thrilling to us. My favorite Duran Duran member was Nick and I was obsessed with his heavily made up face. HE was stunning. This song- the only one of Marilyns I ever saw on Mtv- didnt impress us at all. However, we DID agree that he was GORGEOUS. I remember his appearance in the Eurythmics vid for Who's That Girl, because he was so beautiful. I can certainly understand why young Gavin Rossdale was pursuing him relentlessly and had a relationship with him. Its unfortunate that Rossdale would deny their relationship beyond the One-Time-Thing\experimental statement he made. He has nothing to be ashamed of and how hurtful of him. Imagine how Marilyn felt to be disavowed by the one person he was so in love with that he didnt have another relationship for a decade! It was a real dick move on Rossdales part. But he IS a dick, and a cheating asshole too.
True and doesn't Gavin Rossdales denials say alot about Marilyns own dignified silence. After all to this day i believe that rossdale should have been more respectful but still to me rossdale's name will be dirt for what he has done to the people he hurt over the years.
It's really such a sad shame that Marilyn, Boy George and Pete Burns weren't able to hang together like the 3 Musketeers and collaborated together. I feel like so much was missed and they could have all had wonderful friendships!!
Well, still two out of those three is still alive, and maybe other gay performers still with us, still living as I write this Jan 2, 2023, still live. Several are my neighbors as it were and I have invited them to join forces while life is still with them.
Decided to look her up : From a piece on her in ' The Voice ' online .... " Claudia can be seen in Soul II Soul’s 1989 ‘Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)’ music video alongside bandmate Wheeler. Throughout her life, she performed with artists such as The Jam, Annie Lennox, Elvis Costello and The Attractions, Betty Boo, Dusty Springfield, Claudia Brücken, Julia Fordham, Marilyn, Pink Floyd, Madness, Neneh Cherry, The Specials, Heaven 17, Hothouse Flowers and Howard Jones. Fontaine also sang background vocals on the hit single ‘Free Nelson Mandela’ (1984) by The Special AKA and was a recurring vocalist for Incognito. Described as a ‘singer’s singer’, Claudia was the lead vocalist on The Beatmasters’ hit single ‘Warm Love’ (1989) and ‘Deeper Into Harmony’ (1992)."
Gavin's free!Would LOVE to see a reunion between Marilyn and him!Go on Gavin,you settled in the past now that its over,get you the real thing!Marilyn is still a hot dish!
He was so fine! I crushed on Boy George but also his little friend.
Anyone else listening in 2023?
Just bought this on vinyl!
Yes 18th of April
Yep, great song.
Of course hahaha
Wasn't listen in 1983
The backup singers really doing all the work on this 😂
Marilyn was a true GODDESS of pop music. I wish the world would have gotten that second album. I'm sure Maz could've conquered America too.
He's a spectacular specimen isn't he? I remember thinking that at 11 or 12!
Even more beautiful than Jeffree star💕💕Maxine
Marilyn has talent,natural beauty and is kind ,someone beautiful and fragile who had been exploited and not an exploiter.
clearly the biggest influence on X Japan's Yoshiki Hayashi "visual shock" looks.
The transvestite Marilyn was so fan for our era
What the hell does this mean?
ボーイジョージの恋人マリリン久しぶり😃✨⤴️
Did the man who is married to Gwen Stefani sleep with this man? Can anybody confirm if this is true?
Yes, they were boyfriends in the 80s.
Sean Kray What??? I cant believe it! Gwen's hubby was boyfriend to Marilyn..that info floored me!
Mason Garett
yes, for five years. Supposedly it was just experimenting on Gavin's part, but Peter Robinson said Gavin was the love of his life. aww :(
00survive Thank you so much for confirming this for me! I wonder if Gwen knows about her husband's scandalous past with a man?
Mason Garett
hahahaha of course she knows about it! Gavin and Robinson admitted it. Also, how would it be possible for EVERYONE else to know and not Gwen?
I remember a few years ago she spoke about it in a magazine interview, but I forgot which one. It's not that big of a deal nor "scandalous" he just dated another person :)
For many gay teens living in a working class town in England during the 80s this was like a ray of light.
And working class kids in the US as well
You gay?
Yes! Dare I say it but I liked Marilyn more than Boy George at the time. This song was just so uplifting.
Not just gay teenagers, it was every workingclass teenager, the early 80's was a time where, dressing up was the nearest we got to art and escapism from those who saw us as nothing more than factory fodder (if you could get a job).

Well said 👏
Anyone coming here from watching River?? 🙋🏻♀️❤ Marilyn sounds just like Boy George!
Me too!! ❤it!! 🎶🎶🎶
Me too💃just wish I had some Danish gourmet licorice and some effervescent fruit punch 🤣 dancing away...❤🔥it too!!🎶
But much more prefer Marilyn to Boy George... Much more ❤🔥💃
Yessss❤
Yup!! Loved this song when it was released ❤
No wonder Gavin Rossdale was smashing him.
This!☝️ lol
@Leon Chameleon yea he was for 5 years and then tried to deny it but then later confirmed it to boost his own career
I came to see who was gavin rossdale fucking with Lol
Same here...
+Eddie Garza me too
bless you

Happy 60th Birthday Marilyn
60th? No way! I had such a crush!
Jeez same age as me lol, the 80s were a great time to be around,
@@deedee3719 Definitely
#Legend This is one tough guy, coming out when he did takes guts👊
No wonder Gavin Rossdale was DTF Marilyn in the 80’s
2024 and I never heard this song back in 1983.
Oh Marilyn....still love you, 30 years on
I love this song so much and Marilyn's style. Very ahead of its time. RIP Claudia Fontaine (lead backing singer). It would've been a big deal for any black person being an ally of Marilyn's, and still would be today.
You are absolutely right,I was thinking the same.
I think Claudia Fontaine was amazing. Best vocals for the Beatmasters.
@@NikolaosLoudaros absolutely I love that album,its brilliant 🙌🏼
Sat next to Marilyn on a plane once in the early 90’s

Yes you would need to be careful putting vulnerable young people near him, they'd be riding the white horse and much more he's a total femcel creep.
What a gorgeous looking man
He was!!
@killwill83 that was his point tho.
I am I'm just turned 56 & have loved this song forever ❤*
me too :)
Me three! ❤
Popped over after watching River ❤
Same😊
Me too!
Omg boy George and this tune I remember being a wee girl and this brought me so much happiness

i was 54 yesterday and still love this song and culture club (a true 80's product i am) i love the 80's stuff best time of my life.
yah-same here ruth
oath Ruthie haha
Yes, awesome time Ruth!
The best ever
That's okay. You're all allowed to have terrible taste..
What does this guy and Gwen Stephanie have in common? Gavin Rossdale from Bush...oh lalalala.
Loved him, shame he ruined his career with drugs
Bein' a closet reluctant trans femcel And drugs ruined him, he is a miscreant with a hair flick tick.
Im addicted to this fabulous song. Never tire of the beautiful Marilyn, since its first release in 1983. xx
Here here and so say all of us tee hee 😍🥰😘
I am SO glad I found this song again! Love it! And Marilyn STILL looks amazing today. Hair is a bit short but hell!! And the makeup is a turn on...hey, loved Nick Rhoades so....lol
Listening in 2024
Rest In Peace Claudia

So pretty Marilyn should have been a woman.
He’s battered now!
Prior to this he dressed as Monroe often and was a dead ringer
I follow him and he follows me back on twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
