Condivido: Frankie un gruppo assolutamente originale, che regge incredibilmente alle insidie del tempo.Eccezzionali oggi come allora .Fantastici.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stuart Lee-Ummmm and how is that exactly, It was a hit single in many countries like: France, Germany Holland, Switzerland, New Zealand, UK, - Also the album it came off of was a hit-Liverpool in many countries as you must know as well so confused by your comment.....Also I heard it on radio the other week on Absolute Radio to be exact!
True, dammit, sucha a great track! Sad it marked the beginning of the end for Frankie when this came out argh...they should've made a pause instead of breaking up eh
....and A HUNGRY ANTONOV, LOOKING FOR FUEL, AMEA, SO SO FAR AWAY...and CONSTANT OBSERCATION....SLURFING SLURFING.................LETS 144X144+ ONE... STAR/STERRECYCLUSS, CRY, KNALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The message is so labor-centric they pressed the album into vinyl in USSR with a lengthy essay on the sleeve about how great and defying FGTH had been while tastefully dodging all the gay stuff
@@Radi0he4d1 In the Netherlands I never saw the original relax video. It took a documentary about from about 1990 on VPRO (a Dutch TV broadcaster) shown in 1990 for me to find out about the gay stuff. That said my friends were in on it or so they claim. I was 21 then. So go figure.
The album version was a Queen-esque Rocker, but this single mix was clearly an attempt to appeal to their original Dance audience who likely didn't care for the earlier single, Rage Hard (which I personally feel is a hugely underrated Rock classic!)
Back then this album was called a fail. If it would be published today this would become song of the year. Pop music was at its very peak in the mid eighties.
you see it did not end well for frankie pissed off quite a few people,owed there record company £1,000,000 and then the band took each other to court over money and ego.holly Johnson siad he would never perform with frankie again and he's keept his promise.
@@garethscott1 he didn't produce it, his engineer did. Unlike the earlier album where the Frankies were replaced by session muscians or Trevor Horn ( having a multi instrumentalist as a producer must suck) this was the Frankies themselves and it got a little heavier!
Always love FGTH. Their musically was very good of talent and chemistry. Peter Gill explosive drum sound. Nasher superb guitar sound. Mark O' Toole bassline always interesting to hear. Holly Johnson unique look, charisma and wild voice. And Paul Rutherford was the best group sidekick ever. His happy-go-lucky personality, cool movement and reliable backing vocal boost the group very lively.
I think I'm going to go and find my Frankie albums out of the CD rack and over-play them again. They so deserve that. What amazing tracks, still. They haven't aged at all. Good ol' Trevor Horn!!
Yes, true. I live in hope that one day they see what enormous value there would be in getting back together while they're all still alive & able. & if they included Holly's top solo tracks it would be a mega set list.
@@ceased2care Holly's solo album was awesome. I played that thing to death ..and some. I hadn't thought about Frankie for years and stumbled onto them tonight while trying to find some info on Trevor Horn. I am so hooked again in an instant. Liverpool is simply stunning, still, after all this time. Wow, we were so lucky to have lived through that era of truly awesome tracks that are ageless.
@@slaanmydoodmetnvis yes, I bought 'Blast' back then & played it a lot. I still watch 'Atomic City' vid on YT. I got to see them just as 'Power of Love' hit No1. Awesome. & bought 'Liverpool' album later. Quality. Great times
@@ceased2care - The BEST times!! I heard Holly had passed away...however, I just watched a video of him performing "Watching the Wildlife" live in 2014 - every bit as good as his performances were 2 decades ago!! I guess they were wrong. I know It sounds cliche getting all nostalgic about the 80's / 90's British explosion and chart dominance they enjoyed for over a decade with the plethora of incredible bands & music that era produced. Lol - anyone listening to this track and disagreeing with the sad collapse and state of entropy of music currently has missed the f**king point altogether. In my opinion, this was a unilateral decision taken by executives to implode the evolution of that trend, replacing it with the scalar growth of post modernism that takes anything awesome and reduces it to a pile of streaming sh*t. 😂 Am so glad I rediscovered Frankie this evening! Have a good one, Cheers!🥂
Basically a Trevor Horn-less rewrite of "Two Tribes", but... still pretty damn good! I used to make top 10 lists of my favorite songs of the week and this was ranked at #7 on my January 4th, 1987 chart. Yes. I was a dork.
Just drove back home with my girlfriend in the car, listened to the local radio station and it sucked real hard...back home I went on youtube listening to this great music, so much better than todays shit
Good God-There is some good stuff out there like Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Two Door Cinema Club, HAIM, etc they are very retro-But bk in the day you had shit loads of alright/good to brilliant music
Liverpool is a stunning follow up to welcome to the pleasure dome and this one of the most ferocious and brilliant sophomore albums that describes the 80s excess with such passion and honesty
Yeah, i prefered Liverpool to Pleasuredome by far, although pleasuredome sure do have some of the greatest tunes ever on it... they were forced by the label to add covers to that album which was to bad.. although their version of WAR far exceeds the original! Holly is just a monstrous vocalist isn't he.
@@PazuzuStalker yes their version of war is fantastic and Holly Johnson yes he is one heck of a vocalist to bad he didn't do much after he left the band he should've been way more acclaimed
This song just popped into my head out of nowhere. Haven't heard it since the 80s. For some reason just started singing it this evening. Rings true today more than ever.
DAVID MICHAEL PYPER The bar is set lower and lower today as there’s so many channels to get your music out there. Back then you had so much more competition to produce something good, ‘cause if you didn’t - nobody would ever hear it.
Just found this channel now. Thank you ZTT for making these videos available for anyone to see! I've bought almost all the ZTT Vinyls and CDs anyway during the 80s and 90s. Been a great fan of Grace Jones, Art of Noise, Propaganda and Frankie goes to Hollywood. Seal too. Thank you Mr. Horn and Mr. Lipson.
Proof if any was needed that when this song was released it was FGTH themselves who where the "sailboats of ice on desert sands"! A great animated visual with some intresting iconic juxtapositions
@@jasmineblack9778 Stella by Yello is a great album, please tell me you still have this original CD?? The first CD albums my dad bought was Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms + Kate Bush-Hounds of Love from the Summer of 1985 and still has them 😃💿 Where you from??
I got this single 45 record when I was about 8 years old when I went to the local radio station they gave me this and a couple other records sounds just as good now as it did then
I was living in France at the time and their new TV channel at the time - M6 - was originally their answer to America's MTV (back when they played music videos). Although M6 promo'ed they daylights out of this number by playing it countless times a day, it never caught on. I didn't think it a bad number but could almost understand why it never got big (at least on the continent). It got zero radio time and none of the clubs of Paris played it either; Bain Douche, La Scala, etc.
Totally agreed with that .... this is in my opinion the best track of "Liverpool" - and funny enough also the song that did get most airplay in the UK before any of the singles was relased, so it came as a big surprise, that they put out Rage Hard first... and finally ... the bass on this kick ass track is the closest you get to anything from WTTPD
Some of the video animation is very much similar to the animation by Gerald Scarfe in "The Wall." Post - apocalyptic scenes, consumer decadence, the car as a weapon that becomes a fist , etc. It seems that either that many held those same views in the world at that time, or ..someone was copying someone else's homework. Still incredibly relevant for the world we live in today.

I miss Frankie. We had far too little of them. Even more kitschy songs like this would have been so welcome.
YEAH YEAH YEAH...........THIS FREE WORLD YS OURS.............
no kitchy song here. just powerful song
Totally agree they were amazing
Totally agree they were a awesome group miss them so much
My family thought I was gay for liking FGTH im far from it,love there music
The Sound of Frankie goes to Hollywood will never die. 35 Years later, and it's fresh as 1986! Power On!

This song is more relevant today than it was even then.
This song didn't get the recognition it deserved!

@ronnie doorzon But it was still a hit single Worldwide + the album it came off of: Liverpool was the same So your comment is irrelevent
because This track was against the global system !
Still so relevant 30 years later, some things never change...

@@Radi0he4d1 I think the average soviet citizen would've been smart enough to figure out the gay stuff themselves.
@@Natogoon Pleasuredome was never released in USSR, and none of FGTH's music videos were ever broadcasted there. Complete denial.

Both Rage and Warriors are in my top 3 FGTH songs.
