It has a kind of nursery-rhyme quality to it...both the music (with that funky piano riff) and the lyrics. He really sounds like he's inventing the lyrics just before singing them...very funny and irresistible song! 😄
I just heard it in the radio after more than 25 years and totally forgot how great this band and their music is. Addicting to listen to. Btw its 2021 people and I'm in my early 40's :) Crazy!
Dla mnie hit ,nie wiem czy dzisiejsza muzyka przetrwa tyle lat a niektóre kawałki można słuchać niemal codziennie między innymi ten ,łapa w górę!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heard this on the radio the other day, for the first time in God knows how long. And what an absolutely fantastic song this is - and I didn't realise that 30+ years ago when I first heard it....
We are going next year to c them, Cambridge Corn Exchange 7th November 2021, got the tickets yesterday! Cannot wait, I will be dancing in my wheelchair while the wife goes mental!
OMD are an amazing band. All Their songs sound so different, and cover such a vast array of subjects. They're very clever with their use of musical technology. One of my first ever singles was Joan of Arc, then Enola Gay was massive with the crowd I hung around with. Casio had just come out with the PC 10 and we all loved playing it or in some cases trying to play it. From seven seas to Pandora's box to walking on the milky way they have made a considerable contribution to pop music and popular culture, sadly not given enough credit. They are a band of true genius.
Could'nt agree with you more Jack. Loved them from the very first time i heard them, so disappointed i didnt get the chance to see them live here in Australia. I think they only came over here once or twice.Never get sick of their music.Cheers mate.
Also wir "kinder" die die musik der 70er 80er und 90er voll mitbekommen habe (BJ 1966) haben echt Glück gehabt. Tolle Musik / Bands damals. OMD war grandios
😊love this tune😊 reminds me of my 21st birthday 😅...1991ish another hot summer in UK ... Everyone dancing to The Prodigy and The Shaman. 😅 Acid house was here.....One rave to the next brilliant times. Britain was booming and so was the music 🎶🎵🎵
Reminds me of May 1991, I'd been away for two weeks and upon my return found that my Dad had bought 'Sky TV' - prior to that we only had 4 channels on British television, 5 if you could speak Welsh (S4C) - all of a sudden we had the amazing MTV Europe and this song and REM's 'Losing my Religion' were played daily... still love them both now
Definitely a generational breakthrough - we got MTV Europe about the same time, at home in Northern Germany, and suddenly youth pop culture (at least from the Western part of the world) was no longer hidden behind a barrier. It definitely made me a TV addict!
OMD's musical legacy is one of the finest and most varied in existence. An ultra-smart yet accessible music crafted to last until the Sun turns nova. 👍
Takes me back to when I was 19 years old, dancing to this song in the disco, absolutely love this song. If only we could go back to the days of our youth.😊❤
This song makes me think of my last year in school and the first weeks of A levels at Bracknell College. Mum and Dad still alive and everything great. I love that songs like this can bring back such sweet memories.
I remembger catching this on MTV at the time, a very funny track! The lyrics are beautifully whimsical: "Sister Ray is on TV" etc (most unexpected Lou Reed allusion ever)
This video and this song could still be released TODAY!!! It still sounds and looks SO modern!!! Incredibly A M A Z I N G !!! Now THAT's what a TOP-QUALITY song and video are all about !!!
I am 57 years old now and still love OMD (not the newest releases). I stll remember that OMD was the only band I loved that my father became totally crazy about. I could turn on any other greath 80's band and he hated it, but OMD made him starting a party and a dance when ever he heard OMD.
@@jonathandahl3431 Couse in that time, in my country - Poland - communism just died! We were young but still seperate from West Europe. I mean - no music channel at all but music radio station only :)))
Die besten Band,s überhaupt sind OMD und Depeche Mode kann keiner mit halten.einfach tolle Musik.man ist den ganzen Abend nicht von der Tanzfläche gekommen.wollten wir auch nicht bis wir nicht mehr konnten.schade diese wunderbare Zeit kommt nie wieder schade.😓
Oh, I was so very crushed on this song and on Andy McCluskey at that time! I listened to it on the highest volume, I was crazy about the drums or the drummachine. Good old times.
Driving over the M62 to Leeds in the depths of winter to see OMD in snow a foot deep from Wigan back in 1982 takes dedication and believe I was dedicated and a fan club member 😂I still love them 42 years later ❤️
Dedicating this to ceann, James and Tom. Remembering the summer of 93 and our trip from camp killoqua to st marysville. Some things you never can forget.
I can remember singing this song oot loud in paddington station London at 17 year auld listening to somebody Walkman. If only I could go back. Nearly 30 year ago 😀

You forgot the Ultravox, the greatest band of those days...
OMD Wahnsinn 😜

I'm getting older but this remains timeless
one of the best bands of the last 60 years . bloody brilliant .
This was playing in my head when I woke this morning. I havent thought about or heard this song since it came out 20 odd years ago.
And I did listen this song at my local supermarket here in Munich today. I did not hear this song for decades, somehow weird...?
More like 30 years
Came out in 1991
@@themoores9817 I missed a whole decade out there! Blimey.

Completely underrated band, this is my favorite song by them... You don't hear music like this otherwise. Perhaps Depeche Mode, whom I like as well.
Here in Germany I am used to hear this song on the radio since I was a Child. It is still played today
This is a forgotten song. I never hear it played on the radio. It is among one my favorites by Orchestral Manoeuvres In the Dark.
SirHC Dop so true
It’s my wife’s fave OMD song too 👍🏻
You never hear omd on the radio
At 53... Dios Santo!!! Viva la musica!!! Los New Wave nunca moriremos!!!!!
Hands down..... Their Best song!! At least in my opinion!
This and Messages.
One of my most favorite band and songs ever, it sounds still so fantastic!!
+lineR164 very distinct i remeber it after 25 years like it was yesterday
I love omd one of the best. Never get bored listening to them.
Not listened to this for years until now, remember playing them a lot as a teen in the 90s. Timeless classic.
I've never seen the video! :))

Siguen pasando los años!! Y todavía me gusta mas!!.... Que recuerdos aquéllos de Los 90!!.... ....
Este tema no lo pasan muy seguido en la radio y hoy lo escuche y si me encanta escuchar radio y me encanta.
Love playing this on my drum kit 👌
this always gets stuck in my head for days... it's just so catchy
Pirate music usually is
Seeing these in a couple of days at Leeds direct arena 😁👍 cant wait!
I haven't heard this in years.Good thing there are users willing to preserve really good music.
What a great song! Ein Wahnsinnstitel. Irrer Groove...
That's not just a song, that's an anthem!
Amen to that. I've seen nothing like it when I saw them live 11 months ago
Die besten Band,s überhaupt sind OMD und Depeche Mode kann keiner mit halten.einfach tolle Musik.man ist den ganzen Abend nicht von der Tanzfläche gekommen.wollten wir auch nicht bis wir nicht mehr konnten.schade diese wunderbare Zeit kommt nie wieder schade.😓
Einverstanden.
turn up the volume, crank the bass and dance absolute quality

Actual Drums played by Abe Jukes.
I like this song. My Father in R.I.P liked a song.
Absolute gold - this band are entrenched in my youth. Loved that they had that different edge !
Completely agree with you.

Just loved the Beat & Power of the Drums!
Fantastic synth pop. A great song, a piece of musical genius :)
1991 was a great 👍 year, except we lost the late great freddie Mercury 😢 💔.
It really was!
That song always never fails to give a good vibe & mood
OMD & Pet Shop Boys: the best pop-bands in history.
Maybe Erasure too?
@@themoores9817 erasure are good but not like omd and pet shop
@@SpurioCarvilio nobody is as good as OMD 😊

Awesome gig in St.Anne’s Park 03 Jun 23 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻my dreams came true. I am still a fan 57 years later.
there is always something spectacular in omd songs and none more so than this.

Still my favorite OMD song to this day ♥️ Praying to the gods I see them in concert in 2022!!
Amazing band live I

So much prefer old music videos rather than new ones
They were all fantastic those were the days
omg the drums the drums oooooh
Luv this tune so much. Don't think OMD ever made a bad tune,in my opinion.
Einfach nur abrocken ... die Musik ist immer wieder gut . Das ist wenigstens noch richtige Musik die man stunden lang anhören kann .
Heard it in Iceland today, and couldn't get it out of my head.
I was lucky enough to see OMD live in 2018, they were amazing... 👏
Love OMD and this song well what can I say… Just classic!!!
1991 - 1. Lehrjahr, frisch angefangen zu arbeiten , sehr aufregende und wunderschöne , sorgenfreie Zeit .... 😍
never seen a more beautiful girl than this dancer!
I can remember singing this song oot loud in paddington station London at 17 year auld listening to somebody Walkman. If only I could go back. Nearly 30 year ago 😀
Another classic from this awesome group.
46 years from founding and a number 2 album at the end of 2023...Bauhaus Staircase
Saw them Sunday as a support band of A-ha, holy goodness, they rocked, and blew those Vikings away!.....missed those tunes so much, amazing!
Huge OMD fan for life!!! ;)
