45 years later, my destination is still unknown. But this music helped me deal with it. God love Dale Bozzio and Missing Persons. GOD love her squeaky voice. I still crush on her- i hope she's surrounded by good people.
Terri Bozzio is one of the best drummers in the world - It's so wild watching him here. I totally loved the group and I wish Terry and Dale had something more but we thank the universe a little for these amazing hits. Life is so strange.
Warren was too busy with porn and selling dildos modeled after his own junk, while Dale fell into a "crazy cat lady" mode and was jailed for animal cruelty. The band had many challenges.
I'm 53 yrs old & I'm so glad I got to grow up in the 80s as a teenager & experience this phenomenon that we call 80s music first hand!!! The 80s...simply put...THE GREATEST ERA/DECADE OF MUSIC TO EVER COME AROUND IN MY OPINION!!! I was 13 yrs old & in 7th grade when this song came out...I thought it was the Greatest song ever!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.
53 as well. We were very privileged to live through the 80's as a kid to a teen to a young adult. My daughters often have to turn the music down because I'm still like a teen and his loud music.
I feel exactly the same way. I can't stand people that insult the 80's like it was a joke of a decade. I feel so lucky I had conscious memory to appreciate the time.
I can't believe they weren't bigger. Terry's super drumming, and Warren's licks, combined with Dale Bozio's original sound and style was smoking hot. The album title "Spring Session M" was an anagram of Missing Persons as well. Cute, clever and original. That album is one of the 80s very best.
If they'd had a better follow-up record, I think they would have been bigger. The second album was, to me, far less interesting than their first. After that they pretty much fell apart. Which is sad, because that first album was AMAZING.
Dale Bozio is so incredibly HOT, I was like 15 when these guys were playing on the radio, I'm 53 now...brings back great memories...nothing like the 80s era music, movies were cheesy but the music was amazing, from big hair, heavy metal and new wave punk it was a great time to be a teenager 😎
You are so right! The 80's were a time of change and innovation. People tried things that were unheard of at the time. Some people don't, but I loved the 80's.
I thank God everyday for letting me grow up in the 70's/80's. Back when it was ok to like multiple genres of music and not get labeled. The 90's were good too but that's probably the last time things were good. Everything went downhill after Y2K and it continues up to the present. 😕
You simultaneously appreciate multiple genres and reject any music produced after the nineties. I hope you can see the irony. There’s good music and shitty music all around us. Only the good music survives so it makes sense that the shitty music we hear is all contemporary.
I’m definitely grateful to have grown up in 80s! Btw, guitar player is Warren C. who went on to join Duran Duran to help with monster comeback song Ordinary World.
@@mikelwolfe8597 We just got our first microwave , cable was only 13 channels , and HBO , Movie Channel and MTV were my chit , I couldn't wait for the new videos and I'd stay up till 3 or 4 am Watching Head Bangers Ball and recording it on VHS tape . No cell phones , No pagers , No Internet ....just me and friends hanging out under the street light .
Why does this song have such a strong emotional hold on me? I was 24 yrs old in the summer of 1982...life was good...living with my g/f, Jackie..had a good job. The melody of this song is so perfect, there's a bit of a droning background, that throbbing bassline, and the lyrics just wash over me, recalling the good times me and my buds had playing softball that year...smoking weed, barbecuing on weekends...Life is so strange.
Because you and all of us got outside the house, did things had fun and made memories..while this stuff was playing 20 yrs we will see zoomers reminisce about how many likes they had, depression (STILL) and living off mom and dad. haha
Terry Bozzio totally changed my drumming. His fills alternating from snare to bass to toms, those trashy custom cymbal pairs he created. Groovy hard hitting beats. Man I could not get enough of his playing. It is one of a kind. His stuff in Zappa was much more technical but this new wave band with him driving the beat was something from another planet.
Too true! When I first heard this song on the radio (didn't get much airplay--glad I have the cassette "airchecks" to prove it) I thought the drums were programmed (especially the cymbals). Glad to see that they weren't!! Great tune, and great memories!!
I always liked the voice when I heard these songs on the radio. Now that I've had a gander at the source of the voice I'd have to say they're a perfect match and at 3score&7 she can still get my sap rising...
We had their album and listened to it all the time. It was and still is great music. Loved the music and her voice. What a great delivery and it was fun to listen to. As young men back then, we had fun enjoyed the music, danced to it and even now, love that music, so good and so timeless.
I was fortunate enough to meet Dale in Woburn Mass during her visit to Worlds Gym and spent some time getting to know her. Not just beautiful but a deep thinker and kind. She shared stories of MP, as well as her time working with Prince and I'll always remember her.
The greatness of a musician is indisputable when that musician, knowing is a virtuoso, does only the necessary work for the success of the band ! and that Terri Bozio did for a long period. Admirable!
I got searching for this when I heard a reference to the Walking in LA song in an episode of Family Guy ( because I hadn't changed channels after The Simpsons... ) and I just had to hear the song. This was in the subsequent suggestions and the title sounded familiar so... They and other similar groups were making some good fresh music at a time when I'd had my fill of Smoke on the Water. I had to listen to a 10watt community-college station I whose signal I could barely acquire to hear music like this and what a breath of fresh-air *that* was! Something had actually changed for the *better,* for once. I could hardly believe it.
Life is so strange. Life is so short! This brings me back to my youth. Yeah, it was different, this was new music back then that surprised many. It was musical & made sense to me. It wasn't so alien to make me scratch my head. It was well done & the musicians were great. Ms. Bozzio carried it through! I wish you'd carried on, but that's the biz. All players were great. Wish you people were still doing it! As Lennon said, it's just another rock band. If you want to reminisce, you still have the old records. Glad I can still listen! It's fun stuff!! Best, J.P.
First time I heard this: 1981 while attending Western Oregon State College in Monmouth, Oregon on the radio KSKD 105.? FM in Salem, OR. Mark Bonnett's 5.0 liter Mustang with the tweeters on the dash. Those were the best days of my life, but I didn't know it at the time. Thanks for the memories: Squid and Vid the Ocean Brothers, Mark and Greg, Brent Lawrence, Tom the Weeble Davis and Julie Dieringer from Scotts Mills, OR I loved you more than anyone I've ever known. I remember it like it was yesterday.
What a well written song, both musically and lyrically! I look back at all these songs I didn't appreciate as a kid and ask myself "why is life so strange" and what changed in me? Maybe it's because I long for the eighties again, but this is a great song, and it brings back many great memories!
80s super sucked. christian coalition at the height of its power (satanic panic), "war on drugs" that fucked everything up. reagan. US meddling in S. America that ravaged that continent propping up sadistic autocrats like pinochet. etc. etc.
I was racing BMX in ‘82 riding a SE Racing PK Ripper in SoCal Manhattan Beach listening to this song. Never would’ve thought in a billion lifetimes I’d be listening and enjoying this classic 42 years late. Life’s so strange…
@william bush Relationships are tricky my friend. It’s very hard to find the one person in your life that you want to stay with for the rest of it. Especially creative/artist type people.
No it doesn't. Are you really listening? And I don't mean that to come off mean. If you really listen to this its horrible. It just seems like it sounds good because that's nostalgia. It just takes you back to a good time. But her band is completely terrible. Its definitely a gimmick band just using her as a prop.
@@spursjunkie2821 WOW.. Your opinion matters. That's what makes music. That is what makes the people in it go around. I'm in no way bashing you..just curious about your opinion.
I was in high school from 1979 to 1983 in Oshawa On. What a time to be ALIVE! And we were Alive! This brings back the memories of better days Actually having a bright future. Now not so much. Very sad.
Destination Unknown: who would know I would work for an Auto and Home Insurance Co. for 22 years and retired. Back in the 80's I was a clubber working in L.A. at a clothing store and hitting clubs in HOLLYWOOD after work. WOW how life has changed. Destination Unknown!
Missing Persons is one of my all time favorite bands.Terry Bozzio was one amazing drummer and always had be captivated when I would watch them play. I had never heard of a girl named “Dale” before but she was a good match for that combination of musicians. “Mental Hopscotch”, “Words” and “Right now” were all fantastic songs and big hits for them. Those were such amazing times.
I met Dale Bozzio when I was working at the Incoming Mail Center in Chelsea , Ma, around this time . She came in to pick up her mail which had been on hold while she was touring with her band MISSING PERSONS . She was absolutely BEAUTIFULL in person , and much different than her stage persona . Very laid back and very SWEET . I still have her AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO ! I retired from the Post Office on Oct.31, 2021 with 42 years service . The chance meeting seems like A LIFETIME AGO !
@@anibalbabilonia1867 I won a cassette tape and tickets to their show from a radio station. I only heard the radio hits. That tape blew me away and they played all the songs from that first album...killer show. First band I saw with the drummer up front...he killed it!
Blown away! Terry was insane on his wild drum kit, Warren and Patrick are stellar musicians and of course Dale was out of this world and set the template for female singers after her, like Gaga. They actually played a small club here the first time they came! That would have been crazy kool to see!@@anibalbabilonia1867
Such an underrated group, loved these guys. And like many of groups of that era, INXS, Depeche Mode, New Order, etc, they actually said something with their lyrics which was often overlooked because of the uptempo synth driven beat. Was a great time to be young.
I loved the 80s.. I turned 18 in 1980, My God! What a great time to be alive! Too many cool things to mention. But to all of us that were there, We Should Always be Thankful!
2:39 incredible! At first I believed it was a drumming machine producing that cymbal sound and look at that it is Terry’s… wow! powerful drummer you are my friend….

WOW
Terry and Dale.
Long before GAGA there was DALE ! The original! None can compare! Immortal and timeless music!!
Seriously, did Gaga steal her whole look from her? It looks like it...
Yeah, exactly! The first time I saw Lady Gaga on TV, and ever since, I always think, 'I've seen this all before' and Dale did it better.
Told my wife the exact same thing..
Long b4 Gaga!!
Before Dale there was David Bowie.
She’s the pioneer of this type of fashion among female artists… yes, she is before Gwen Stefani and Lady Gaga
Missing Persons was easily one of the most talented & unique bands of the 80s. They should have been a giant in the industry. ❤ Them.
Warren was too busy with porn and selling dildos modeled after his own junk, while Dale fell into a "crazy cat lady" mode and was jailed for animal cruelty. The band had many challenges.

I agree music was great fashions were a little strange but I loved my chinos and pointed shoes, but suffer bunions now though
So true..
Agreed. I get sad just thinking about how much better things were back then.
I miss it too. Recently saw a Halloween pic of me and my sister's when I was 5. I was punky Brewster and younger sis boy george. Those were the days

Some great, great musicians in that band. Bozzio is a MONSTER on drums.
These guys are musicians’ musicians. The real deal.
He sure is!👌😎👍
He left Frank Zappa's band to start one with his wife.
Patrick O' Hearn left and his first 5 albums as a New Age artist were amazing as well. :)
Highly underrated. And I love the production of this lp!
The 80s wasn’t just the music. It was the LOOK too.
remember it well!! Women looked crazy good back then sure took care of themselves. Dont see that anymore.

It wasn't a bad time to be finishing up college, as well. Light on money, light on scales and sleep but full of fun.
Never realized how good this song really is. Interesting layers & depth to the sound.
Apparently session musicians that played with Zappa
Whole album is tight. Check it out.
Not exactly sure what layers of a song are, or depth, But it has a nice timbre 😁
Nah, auto tuned mumble rap is way better than this
Same. 👍
She had a perfect New Wave voice.
I love the early MTV days. Missing Persons was a big part of it.
Wasn't the original MTV the best ? I miss it like a long lost friend. (64 now)
Yes! So was Bowie, Duran Duran, Devo, and the Pretenders, among others.
Back in the days when MTV actually showed music videos 24/7.
Yeah they went to shjt with Yo MTV Raps. Remember Martha the little stoner
IMO, the 80’s have the most iconic bands and songs…. But we gotta give credit to the late70’s for making it happen!

Sadly, much of the 'new-wave' movement was squelched with the 'top-40 renaissance' of the mid-1980s.
Maybe not obvious but that is one of the best drummers ever. Those of us who grew up in the 80’s understand what a uniquely great era it was.

In the drummer world he does
Ummmm…. Unless you know lil to nothing about music…. You’d know exactly who Boz is….. The Black Page
Prior to Missing Persons, he also played with John Wetton (Asia fame) in the band U.K.
I'm 59. I have never heard of this band or this song. I am completely blown away!!!
@Rob Snowden - I am 50 and had read about them in a magazine when I was 13 but found out what they sound like only about a year ago :-)
Whoah you never heard missing persons??
When this hit it was freshest most modern sound around. Still sounds just as good.
No it doesn't. Are you really listening? And I don't mean that to come off mean. If you really listen to this its horrible. It just seems like it sounds good because that's nostalgia. It just takes you back to a good time. But her band is completely terrible. Its definitely a gimmick band just using her as a prop.
Gimmick band??!!?? These guys are all Frank Zappa alumni. Top shelf musicians and no "gimmick".
@@spursjunkie2821 WOW.. Your opinion matters. That's what makes music. That is what makes the people in it go around. I'm in no way bashing you..just curious about your opinion.
Every single beat on this drum track is serving the song. Brilliant! Credit the writer (T. Bozzio)
One of the greatest drummers in the world playing tastefully to the music. Terry Bozzio is amazing.
I'm 55 reminds me of fun times in the summer in Southern CA. Junior High can't forget Bow wow wow.
Still loving this song now in 2022 💖
I was in high school from 1979 to 1983 in Oshawa On. What a time to be ALIVE! And we were Alive! This brings back the memories of better days
Actually having a bright future. Now not so much. Very sad.
Destination Unknown: who would know I would work for an Auto and Home Insurance Co. for 22 years and retired. Back in the 80's I was a clubber working in L.A. at a clothing store and hitting clubs in HOLLYWOOD after work. WOW how life has changed. Destination Unknown!
Dale Bozzio paved the way for female musicians. They don't make music like this anymore. 😢
We know where lady Gaga got here inspiration from
@@bobaker779 to sing like shyte.. gaga can sing. I lOVE this band. but BIG difference in talent on the vocal.
Don't forget Debbie Harry
Missing Persons is one of my all time favorite bands.Terry Bozzio was one amazing drummer and always had be captivated when I would watch them play. I had never heard of a girl named “Dale” before but she was a good match for that combination of musicians. “Mental Hopscotch”, “Words” and “Right now” were all fantastic songs and big hits for them. Those were such amazing times.
and of course Walking in LA!
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.
graduates of the Frank Zappa school of music. saw MP a handful of times in LA back in the day. Dale wore some crazy stuff live. band was so tight.
I met Dale Bozzio when I was working at the Incoming Mail Center in Chelsea , Ma, around this time . She came in to pick up her mail which had been on hold while she was touring with her band MISSING PERSONS . She was absolutely BEAUTIFULL in person , and much different than her stage persona . Very laid back and very SWEET . I still have her AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO ! I retired from the Post Office on Oct.31, 2021 with 42 years service . The chance meeting seems like A LIFETIME AGO !
Missing the 80's . What a ride.
A whole lot of talent in a pint size package! 😁👍🔥
You mean Terry right?
@@ejamsc yeah, we'll go with that one.
I was in my 20s through the 80s with crushes on so many female singers back then, and this performance makes me remember why
Takes you back to such good times..was in love at first sight with Dale... Terry's total attack on drums was a forever influence on me❤
Dale Bozzio was so far ahead of time in this era!
She made most of her own clothes; plastic caps string and tape!
So gorgeous I love Dale 4 ever!!!!!
I met her at a meet and greet thing at a roller skating rink in 85 I think.
She was so skinny, it was alarming.
Please eat ladies.
What an impact of contributions Terry Bozzio puts onto this band with his drumming & as they all do.
This band was way way ahead of their time! I still got this album! In cassette!! Wow! They are AWESOME 😃👍
You have the cassette? Those sounded great actually!
@@sl4983 and i still play it!😎👍
@@anibalbabilonia1867 I won a cassette tape and tickets to their show from a radio station. I only heard the radio hits. That tape blew me away and they played all the songs from that first album...killer show. First band I saw with the drummer up front...he killed it!
@@butnut3455wow! That’s awesome! I bet you had the time of your life!👌😎👍
Blown away! Terry was insane on his wild drum kit, Warren and Patrick are stellar musicians and of course Dale was out of this world and set the template for female singers after her, like Gaga. They actually played a small club here the first time they came! That would have been crazy kool to see!@@anibalbabilonia1867
I have a copy of this album and spin it up a couple times a year. How I miss the 80's 🙂🎶
Dale Bozio was definitely a pioneer and huge influence with her sound and look...extremely unique in that time period.
Such an underrated group, loved these guys. And like many of groups of that era, INXS, Depeche Mode, New Order, etc, they actually said something with their lyrics which was often overlooked because of the uptempo synth driven beat. Was a great time to be young.
Like!!!
Who STILL thinks this rocks as hard in 2023 as it did in 1982??
Possibly harder.
82 was such a great year in music! MTV, New-wave, and hair-metal! Great Era! Great times!
I definitely do!!!!
I've been in love with her my entire life
@@pineapplecircus you mean "Love?"
Terri Bozzio is F-ing great. I could watch him all day. Spot on!
The 80s. Anything and everything was possible.
Experimentation, man!!
Underrated band. And Dale Bozzio should be getting royalties for all the female singers she influenced. Ahead of her time....
Man does this song bring back some memories, I really really miss the 80's, probably too much, so hard to let it go, was such an amazing decade.
I had forgotten all about this song. This really takes me back! I would have been in the second or third grade when this was originally broadcast.
I loved the 80s.. I turned 18 in 1980, My God! What a great time to be alive! Too many cool things to mention. But to all of us that were there, We Should Always be Thankful!
2:39 incredible! At first I believed it was a drumming machine producing that cymbal sound and look at that it is Terry’s… wow! powerful drummer you are my friend….
Loved this in the 80's, love it even more hearing it now!
Love this band’s sound. Great guitar licks.
Great memories listening to MP while heading out to Lake Havasu in the early 80s. Life was absolutely a Destination Unknown...
still one of the best songs from that era and a personal fav!
Is True
Love this song, and Dale Bozzio is such a cutie.
The closer the bone the sweeter the meat----that's my motto.
She's got a Marissa Tomai vibe
I have this vinyl...Great record!!!✌️✌️✌️
