I love The Go-Go's and their music so much. Such incredible talented women who can rock. So happy they finally are get inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where they belong. It's about time that is happening The Go-Go's deserve that recognition. 🥰❤️
God I still crush on Kathy Valentine. Those smokey eyes 🥵 p.s Who else remembers that Jane Weidlin also played Joan of Arc in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure? 😂
Jane also played a singing telegram messenger in the film "Clue". She got about 3 seconds into her telegram before she was shot and the door closed on her. Then there is Colleen Camp in that French maid uniform... hot!
These are all great women who paid their dues in rock and roll and found the success that they worked for. They fell out, then came back together and, in the end, still remained friends professionally and personally. And they still hold the record for a woman's group that attained their level of success with all original material they composed themselves. Long live the Go-Go's!
Back in 1981 shortly after the Go Go's recorded this music in studio C at A&M Records, I worked in the same studios with friends recording their first album. Andy Armer (my friend) was teaming with Herb Albert's nephew Randy. They had co-written Herb's #1 instrumental hit "Rise". Herb was selling them studio time for 50% of the going rate. I watched Herb lay down some tracks in another studio while I was there. It was great being young and at a place where memorial music was being made. I still have a pack of A&M matches. I used to go over to Marvin Gaye's house in Hidden Hills and play basketball with him and others, swim in his pool, play pool, kind gentle man. RIP Marvin. The 80's were a great time to be young and alive.
@Timothycpollock I certainly was. I also spent time with the Academy award winning actress Kim Basinger, who lived in Woodland Hills at the time. Sweet lady.
For those asking about the ‘extra’ love verse Belinda sings, it is... ‘Careless talk through paper walls We can't stop them, only laugh at them Spreading rumors so far from true Dragged up from the underworld, just like some precious pearl’ They’ve always done it live, it just wasn’t in the studio version. Fun Boy Three didn’t use this verse, either.
The dynamics in this live are far better than the original recording, it really brings out the chemistry of Gina and Kathy with the hooks in the song, they are truly underrated and old rocker fan Al downunder
Can you hear them? They talk about us Telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them? See right through them They have no shield No secrets to reveal Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed There's a weapon That we must use In our defense Silence When you look at them Look right through them That's when they'll disappear That's when we'll be feared It doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Pay no mind to what they say It doesn't matter anyway Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Hush, my darling Don't you cry Quiet angel Forget their lies Can you hear them? They talk about us Telling lies Well, that's no surprise Can you see them? See right through them They have no shield No secrets to reveal Doesn't matter what they say In the jealous games people play Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Pay no mind to what they say It doesn't matter anyway Hey, hey, hey Our lips are sealed Our lips are sealed Oh, our lips are sealed
Put the Go Go's on at any party anywhere any time, especially this song, and everyone in attendance will shout "yeah" and dance / rock out / try to get laid to it. I simply doesn't get better than that.
Funny how I appreciate the Go-Go's much more now than I did back then, especially now that I know the story of their early formation. If anyone doesn't know, this band of chicks braved the rude, violent and often utterly disgusting British punk scene -- the same punk scene that terrified Johnny Rotten to the point he ran home from every show because they wanted to beat his ass. Belinda Carlisle in particular would leave the stage every night covered in spit just dripping off of her. They earned their street cred. Tough chicks, every last one of them. Rock on, Go-Go's, rock on.
They could have been soooo BIG... too many fights among them. Still what they did during their short career in the 70s-80s is second to none. I'm sure they all look back and say to themselves "WTF did we do... splitting when had the world at our feet".
So when this song came out in 81, I was in the Navy. In those days, everyone was into AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Molly Hatchet, etc. Well, the moment I heard this song, I was hooked. The up-beat vibe and driving bass made it totally irresistible. Now, image in the Navy is EVERYTHING. No matter what, you absolutely MUST maintain that image of being a hard-as-nails, take-no-bullshit, hard-drinking/smoking/fighting hell-raiser or things get out of control pretty quickly, and I did a pretty good job at maintaining my image (I had to. I was only 20 at the time and a shop supervisor). Consequently, when I heard this song I knew I had to be REAL discrete when purchasing and listening to it. So come Christmas Eve, 1981, my roommate, one of the roughest, toughest, meanest, foulest-dispositioned third-class petty officers that ever wore the uniform was driving me over to Lindbergh Field (San Diego) for my flight home and Christmas leave when Our Lips Are Sealed came on the FM. Matt ROCKED OUT. When he mentioned what a great beat it had, I took a deep breath, debated momentarily whether I should open just a crack the vaulted door into my inner, most vulnerable self and said "Matt, I've got the tape at the top of my duffle bag. If you want it, I'll give it to you when we get to the airport", which I did. I still get a laugh at the thought of big ol', tough-as-nails Matt Smith (yeah, that really was his last name) getting off to this song.
That's the problem with tv sound guys that don't understand the band they're working for. Even Jane's mic wasn't brought up for her solo. And don't get me started with directors that are stuck with a 1960's mentality of focusing on the lead singer and guitar.
If Madonna, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees and ABBA can be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, then it's time that The GO-GO'S, The Runaways and Pat Benatar should be inducted!They've all earned it!
As a 21yo in 1981 in the Navy going through tech school I was cleaning my barracks dorm room one Sat AM and had my small portable TV turned on to American Bandstand. On came the Go-Go's and I was hooked! And immediately fell in love with Jane and still am!
I only rediscovered the Go Go's and realise how great they are with so many great songs and like the Bangles, theres many similarities. Both bands have professional bass players who can add great texture and rhythm to the songs. Both have a lead singer that went on to their own successful solo careers and friction and breakups because of that and reform again to play again to very happy crowds. Each girl is so different with pocket rocket smiling Jane on rhythm guitar, Hip swaying Kathy on bass and Belinda belting the numbers out sometimes without shoes on! This is the era when great melodies were made and music was fun and its good we can still hear these bands as they were so a new generation can discover them too...
@@edwardpate6128 Yeah thanks for that, i didnt realise she was in it and as i only just found out about Wedlin in the gogo's i wouldnt have made the connection years ago anyway! haha. I had a look at her in her scenes and shes great and such a pretty face- she could have been picked up as a actor if she was spotted as shes very camera friendly- Good enough for Hollywood!
Induct this talented group of Musicians into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! All female band, #1 Album all female band, paved the way for Punk Bands like "GreenDay" and "Avril Levine".They weren't even listed on Top 40 Punk Bands by Rolling Stone. Travesty!!
@@jumpinjojo just follow Rolling Stone magazine list of top rated drummers. Have you ever heard Gina Schock play? Play some Gogos tunes in RUclips and maybe you'll change your mind.
Kathy Valentine is the hottest rocker in the band, yet she got the least camera time. Even during her bass solo at 2:22 , they cut away from her except for 2 seconds. Not many women her age could pull off wearing a sexy zip front outfit like that. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers, but I would let Kathy have anything she wants.
+Debra Phillips - Me too. I think that Belinda was being a little tongue in cheek with "most of you know the words to this one". I'm glad you caught that.
@@petemartin7589 @lawson862011 Amen to that. We lived out our young lives in the best era. Having the best of times. I would almost sell my soul to go back to those days. Cheers
Fantastic and Supentist. I'm so glad they are all alive. Most bands have 1 or 2 succumb, on their path of self-destruction. rock and roll don't play around
Kathy Valentine is having fun with the bass line in that outro! Listen closely, it's a variation of the bridge part, but played off of the G and C chords in the chorus.
I'm guessing the extra verse - "it's a paper world," etc - is fully Terry Hall's and got left off the original versions (both Go Go's and Fun Boy Three) for brevity.
Charlie Lenk - The lyrics are: “Careless talk Through paper walls We can't stop them Only laugh at them Spreading rumors So far from true Dragged up from the underworld Just like some precious pearl”
@@ericrosenfeld9442 LOL ive been hearing Alex the Seal since the very first time i heard this song....no matter how many times i try, i cant unhear it!
The list of the acts eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 have been announced, and once again, THE GO-GO's have been overlooked. If Madonna, Earth Wind & Fire, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees and ABBA, are in the Hall of Fame, why on earth haven't THE GO-GO's been so honoured? They are SOOOOO deserving!!
@@imgoingtocountdownfromthir4580I don't think the Go-Go's were real big in the UK in the 80's? It would have been awesome to see/hear Jane and Terry perform this❤❤❤!
Great job ladies! Never listen to the negative people they are just showing there insecurities that they never had the guts to follow there dreams. Always been a fan. Wish you all the best. 🤗🤗🤗
Being old now is worth being young back then 🤘
That has to be the most profound thing I've read in about a month...I like that. I'm carrying that with me. Thank you.
Old now? As they say, once over the hill you roll FASTER!!!!
I'm 60 and young as ever.
David Lane Amen!
agreed..
I love The Go-Go's and their music so much. Such incredible talented women who can rock. So happy they finally are get inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where they belong. It's about time that is happening The Go-Go's deserve that recognition. 🥰❤️
True joy.
Their happiness while playing brings an emotional response and happy tears to my eyes.
Truely.
Thank you 💖
i keep coming back to this, its fuvkin excellent
Age is only a numbers. All it matters is what inside your body. I am already 70 and ready for 30 more years.
They put NON Rock and Roll acts that are Hip Hop and Rap in the Hall, but not like the Monkees are left out. A Travesty.
My wife was there, with her girls, rock on!!
They are a great band...rock on ladies!!
This music really looks like undying pop to the young and old for many generations... I just still missed the 80's... Long live beauty and the beat !
Iconic legends who taught themselves how to be awesome. So glad I was old enough to watch their rise to stardom. Bad asses making great music.
God I still crush on Kathy Valentine. Those smokey eyes 🥵
p.s Who else remembers that Jane Weidlin also played Joan of Arc in Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure? 😂

Saw them on in August 1983 at Red Rocks. Thank You Paula M!
By the way, Kathy Valentine is an extremely talented bass player....and was NEVER given the credit that she deserved!
I Love Kathy Valentine
Completely Agree!
Yes, she is
I remember an interview with her. She was a guitarist and was asked to play bass for the Go Gos. She said yes and quickly learned how to play.
She’s like. Geddy. Right?
Jane was my favorite. She looked fun.
The bassist though,,, she was AMAZING.
Kathy Valentine. Those eyes were so smoky they'd bring you to tears.
@@ray.shoesmith I agree... and that sexy zip front number she was wearing... smokin' hot. They only gave her a 2 second closeup in her bass solo.
How did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame take until 2021 to admit The Go-Go's ???
At least they're there.
The rules
Stupid politics
Politics,like everything else. Ridiculous but at least they're acknowledged!
That’s always been one of my favourite songs but this is the first time I’ve seen a live version and it’s even better. What a great band!
Belinda-your hottest date
Charlotte- your wife
Kathy-that rocker you dreamed of
Jane-the cute one that got away
Gina-the one you couldn’t handle
Interesting philosophy.
The Whole Band is talented each in their own right. I have most of their solo projects and enjoy listening very much still.
so right man!
I Love them all. but Kathy can consider me hers anytime.
You know that is an interesting comment. I think I agree with it.
The Go Go's Makes me feel like I'm in my 20's again, and that was a long time ago....................

They’ve always done it live, it just wasn’t in the studio version. Fun Boy Three didn’t use this verse, either.
Wow I never knew that
Thank you I never knew that either 👍
2:39 she reminds me so much of Dolores O’Riordan (R.I.P) when she sings it right here
Always wanted to see both the Go Go’s and Fun Boy Three perform it together
I dont care if you are now 61 years old now, Belinda you are still the most beautiful woman in the world to me💖💖💖
This live extended version is so kick ass .... love it ! The Go Gos rock !
Beautiful in the 80's and Gorgeous now. They sound amazing.
They were HOT when they started opening for the Police and they are HOT now!!!!!!!!!! Rock On Go Go's
Kathy is SO HOT!

According to documentary she learned the catalog on a coke binge that is hard core
And today (5/12/21 they have been voted into the Hall of Fame
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
There's a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That's when they'll disappear
That's when we'll be feared
It doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Hey, hey, hey
Our lips are sealed
Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
Quiet angel
Forget their lies

Telling lies
Well, that's no surprise
Can you see them?

Kevin Kirk and she is a bad ass on that bass!!! Girl is no joke

I was 11 then and I've been in love with ever since then
They had a solid rhythm section. Kathy had great bass lines. Very catchy.
Yep, and it was Gina Schock who saved them. A pro who made them practice every night.
My Oh My to see them all grown up to become such beautiful women. What a delight!
Yes that they are, The Bangles ladies did as well
I met Jane Wiedlin in 1990 at Washington D.C.. Awesome personality and actually an animal rights activist.
fuck right.... that 2nd vocalist (Jane) nailed it!!!!! I'll listen to just that over and over. Her voice is mesmerising.
She wrote the song with her lover, Terry Hall.

Honestly one of the best bands of the 80s. Makes me mad that we all have to age! Belinda Carlisle will always be one of my favorite singers.
No worries, We all age like a fine wine. check out the corrs of Ireland. all woman in there mid 40s. all about the diet and exercise.

Belinda be thy name
I love the Go Go's. Saw them in the 80's. They are unbelievable!!! Miss them so much. Belinda seems not to own a pair of shoes. Love that too!
The best female band of all-time.
George- I would tend to agree with you. However, The Runaways and The Bangles are tied for Second place. Slater-Kinney in Third place.
Gotta go with the Bangles.
That's absolut true...
I woulda been fine with the camera focusing on Kathy the whole time
Glad Jane got some much deserved camera time for once here. Damn she was and still is HOT!

Listen this is a trip back to my teenage years. And with Katty playing bass!
All this time I thought she was saying "how does it feel"

The lyrics have been changed a bit during this version.
I'm guessing the extra verse - "it's a paper world," etc - is fully Terry Hall's and got left off the original versions (both Go Go's and Fun Boy Three) for brevity.

A performance for the ages. Pure joy!!!
SUCH a vibriant performance , if you can't crack a smile during this clip, you may need medication and therapy :P lol

where was the pun?
@@johntorrington2672 I'm Schocked you didn't get it.
One of the best bands to come out of the 80's!
Kathy Valentine is by far the hottest Go-go.
This is their most popular best song. It never gets old for me. I don’t know why
Drums and bass got out of sync @ 2:23. Kathy wanted to slow it down and Gina wanted to keep it up tempo. Who has the musical "right of way" here?
The list of the acts eligible for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 have been announced, and once again, THE GO-GO's have been overlooked. If Madonna, Earth Wind & Fire, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees and ABBA, are in the Hall of Fame, why on earth haven't THE GO-GO's been so honoured? They are SOOOOO deserving!!

RIP Terry Hall. Your music will live forever!
let's not forget the lady on rhythm guitar, the song is half Jane's, and the Go-Gos was the first and best version.
@@racketman2u I much prefer FB3's version, this version isn't very well known in Britain.
@@imgoingtocountdownfromthir4580I don't think the Go-Go's were real big in the UK in the 80's? It would have been awesome to see/hear Jane and Terry perform this❤❤❤!
Belinda...my all time fantasy high school crush!
great band, great performance, but thats a very embarrassing audience. Best look away & just listen.
Such a classy lady with a wonderful voice I love Belinda& the Go-gos
Great job ladies! Never listen to the negative people they are just showing there insecurities that they never had the guts to follow there dreams. Always been a fan. Wish you all the best. 🤗🤗🤗
Fuck the negative the people!! THEY need to shut their pieholes!! Don't have nuthin good to say, just SFU!!
@@adriantomlin1362 you just contradicted your self buy saying something negative
It's 2019 and I still love this song
great song, emblematic of the era. kudos to them for working their way up from nothing, making themselves famous.
3:56 Gina’s smile......priceless. She looks soooo happy! Love it! ❤️
Yeah, she was. Very nice..
Well, yeah. She recovered from heart surgery and got the $100k owed from royalties.
I always wanted Valentine and Carlisle,couldn’t keep my eyes off them,especially in the 80s 😅
Kathy Valentine had eyes that could melt any man tbh.
