Lyrics:
Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in awhile
Two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the 'mode of passion'
It might be unbelievable
But let's not say so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong

who's listening in June 2024?
Yep, definitely listening. Love this group
@@michaelboughton5158 Me too.
Meee
Thankyou ❤😊
I am. What a great band, and a vocalist with a unique and enchanting style. btw, I play a hits CD when doing housework. It motivates me and I have time to hear every song on it. 🙂
I'm pushing 70 and clearly remember being a kid.😊. This is a most underrated song. Fabulous song by the great Pretenders.❤😊.
You got that right ❤
Timeless classic. When I first heard this one in the early 2000s I thought it was a new song! That's the brilliance of Pretenders.
You are beautiful ❤
I love chrissie, cheers from Cologne 👍😀❤️🍷🎉
Welcome to 80's,it was an amazing decade ,real artists
Welcome to 80's,it was an amazing decade ,real artists
Yeah they pretend to be new.
Nearly four decades later, this song still holds up beautifully. The lyrics are imaginative and original, and the rhyme scheme manages to include couplets like "distracted" and "refracted" instead of overused pairs like you-blue or self-shelf.
Instrumentally, I've always loved the guitar riff at 2:17.
They were a great great group..!!
It's a great song, I've only just come to appreciate it
Yes its unique in every way
The reason kids are so depressed these days is because they do not have awesome music like this.
@@MasterMalrubiuswith our failing school system they probably wouldn’t understand the lyrics anyway.
Another Classic from the best decade ever, How I would like to go back in time.
😢Eu também .... fomos uma geração que soube aproveitar a vida 🎉
I'm only 24 and I have to say the pretenders are my favorite band
What's sad Is you never got to see Chrissy young and in a pair of jeans..
takes me back way back when i was a seventh grader in a Soviet high school, in today's independent Uzbekistan. it was a summer time. was picking apples in a summer camp with friends)))) we did not know at the time what band it was. all western music was smuggled in from abroad)))), nor did we care about the name of the bank of a singer for that matter. all we cared was the music, this music, this song, very bright, from cosmos, something about this song, something majestic. this song brings back all good memories. I am 53 now but when i listen to this song, i am among all my friends again, all happy, laughing, joking, picking apples....
menuda turra, macho
What a beautiful comment 👍🏽
How strange, my thoughts exactly, I'm also 53, spent some time picking strawberries that year in the UK...not sure if the fruit picking is some how connected but who knows!
Perfectly said, we had the same in South Africa
that's a great comment
I love this band!! It's 2024, and I was a teenager when they came out. Always and forever a fan❤🎶
Yo era muy chica pero me encantaba esta canción! Y aún me sigue gustando. Qué bella música!
It's my favorite song by The Pretenders
I was in Walgreens today, and heard this almost forgotten, gem over their speakers. Now I have been playing it on loop for the last hour. She's amazing!
I Think so ...Chrissie HYNDE is GREAT as Annie LENNOX for EURYTHMICS or Stevie NICKS for FLEETWOOD MAC...
I love moments like that!
Especially in this digital time .
Nothing wrong with breaking into song ,a little dance or a few tears (or all at once!) while grabbing some toiletries.
It reminds us we're alive
Im 42...and ALL these are jams! Young, old...good music is good music.
I'm 28 and I believe new wave genre is one of the best ever to exist. AFOS, new order, Pretenders, Psychedelic Furs, Depeche mode, Duran2 and many more always have a special place in my heart.
The pretenders were closer to punk.
Loved disco in middle school, started high school as it was fading fast, also loved rock, then a trickle of a new sound. What on earth is THIS?! It was New Wave. I was blown away . . . I still feel how startled, mystified and intrigued by this insanely good new music I became. Took FOREVER to hear more than a song or two - for it to build. Radio was extremely resistant to playing New Wave.
@@spankynater4242 and how about Blondie? I'm not sure about the genre.
@@livealittle1100 Same with Blondie, closer to punk.
When she sings “don’t get me wrong” at the back end of the song and flutters the “wrong” with a kind of vocal pitch bend…dam…pure magnificence
2:52
Too much vocal excelence from a singer who came from the Punk scene (Malcom McLaren, etc.)
She really had it going on, perfect voice of that era, too bad she never fell in love with me, well, for me that is.....
3:16
That part makes it a masterpiece.
The Pretenders - Don’t get me Wrong. Chrissie Hynde is a class act in her own right. She’s such a talented singer/performer. Never tire of listening to this video. She’s got a delightful voice and knows how to use it too. Great one, Chrissie.
her voice and songs will never get old.....
Agreee, I saw her live last week and I can’t believe she still sounds this amazing, what an amazing artist, can’t wait to see her again
And she was gorgeous.
Best band I ever saw live. She’s a gem.
Saw them play just the other night and Chrissie still has an amazing voice. Every song they played was near identical to the album which you can’t say for every band playing live.
there did you see the gig _
THIS SONG IS STILL A CLASSIC AFTER 35 YEARS.
35 years? That would mean I´m 53 years old...f***, it´s real!
QUE RECUERDOS, LA ESCUCHABA CON MI AMIGA,, QUE HOY ES MI ESPOSA. Y ABUELOS.
fuckin A!
REAL MUSIC NEVER FADES AWAY, LIKE THE CLASSIC MUSIC.
@@fernandoulloa3437 true class is permanent
Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted

Thank you.
Amazing!! Many blessings! Happy new years!!
Que gentileza . Obrigada 👍🏼
Gracias
Viel danke schone fur diese lyrics...Mehr moglich wenn lesen als horen.
Love this song still 2023 it makes you jump up and fly around the house dancing and singing. ! She’s a great singer what a lovely voice .❤
Absolutely
Yes!!!! ❤❤️🔥🤩😍💃😊
Did it make u jump up & fly round the house dancing & singing back in 1986? It did 4 me!
My favorite song now is "Paint The Town Red" Dojo Cat.
Como se llama la chica del vídeo??
Chrissie has the most marvelous voice. The stations don't play the Pretenders nearly enough, or only rarely!
This song has a joyful element to it that never makes you tire of it no matter how times you've heard it.
Absolutely. And the bass line makes me smile.
The Music made U feel Good !! In the 80s !! Loved going with The Girls !! Everyone Looked Great Felt Great and dance the nite away !! Lots of GREAT Music in that Era !! I'm gonna be 64 and the almost all the music of my youth still do !! Still luv to dance to All the Great Fun music from the BOOMERS Era lots of fun and Happy memories Of those days 😁
If only modern music was the same , eh..!!
@@mradrianmarkpenn6370 yeah, far too lacking with most modern music.
AMEN! always cheers me up. So cheeky, light, groovy and happy. Always makes me want to dance. It's in my Top Ten fave songs ever.
Go Chrissy. She walks her own path, doesn't take crap, and probably never has. Refreshingly original and a survivor through the decades. Love her music and talent!
Yes! She is her own unique beautiful creation! That's what is SO great about SO many fantastic artists! I cherish that individuality and creativeness more than anything else..prime example : Kurt Cobain and Bowie.Im 62. And when I asked my mother for the LP "Aladdin Sane"( for Christmas that year in 1974) I thought she was going to have a cow! The album cover ( you can Google what it looked like and see) was a stark white background with a fantastically and phenomenally fully made-up as "Ziggy" off to the left turned a bit in his alien suit! Dangerously thin looking almost,with his iconic flame red shag haircut- but a genius to the day we lost his great talent...She said ' What in the hell do you want to listen to "THAT CRAP " for?" To which I replied with "I seem to remember something about you going to see Elvis at the Miami Beach Convention center to his concert"...."and do you remember what YOuR mother said to you about HIM?" All the parents back then tried so hard to keep their daughters from seeing him thrusting his hips on stage,since they were SO SURE it was promoting promiscuity and making them horny and pregnant!.."She later came and sad to me (after a bit of thought!) and said how good the concert was and how much she danced and had fun! And even though Ziggy wasn't her cup of tea, she told me if I liked it then it must be good! Before she passed away in 2008,she told me how much talent she watched his career grow over the years and how much she liked how his music evolved..and she told me how proud of me she was for seeing the greatness in people- that that was what was important! I miss her,and the great lessons we both taught about and learned about from each other.She was a quite a strong and independent,great little bundle..all 4'11" of her,! Perhaps she has gotten to meet him wherever they both rest now!!!
@@kimberlypatton9634 I knew little about her before I watched the recent series about the Sex Pistols - titled Pistol. She features quite heavily as someone who was around the band a lot during it's short existence. Well worth a watch for those who are fans of hers.
Wasn't she a music journalist before tasting success with the Pretenders?
Ya she's great 👍
Feel the same way, really really do..!!
hoy 6-6-2024 ...en switzerland escuchandola....que recuerdos me trae......del que fue mi marido...yo chilena el de new mexico.....hoy vino a mi mente....ahora ya pasaron casi 10 anos de su partida de esta la escuela tierra.....pero me dejo un hermoso hijo .....que hermoso grupo este Pretenders...Ciaoooo
31 years old and WOW have I found a new heartbeat. This song is pure joy 😊
It really is. 😊
80s. Great music. Original. Like this one. Music that spoke to rhe heart. Thankyou Chrissie this was and still is a nice hit.
"I'm thinkin' about the fireworks that go off when you smile.." 🎶🎶🥰
Que hermosa canción y esa voz inconfundible la escuchó y como si fuese ayer por los años 80 que para mi fue la mejor década un saludo para todos los fans desde Lima Perú

This lady's voice is incredible
I’m having amazing 80s flash backs ❤
Oh God, in the 80s there was so much magic in music and the arts, that you can go back in time watching an unforgettable classic like that.
Totally, man!
All nostalgia bud
Pop music is a joke in the 21st century !
The 70 and 80 the most beathyfull time of my life.
The people were different, you can hear it in the music to. A beathyfull time.
I totally agree! Grew up in 80s 90s and arts are not really arts today.
This song is so fun to dance to, workout to or just listen to while driving in your car...love it!💕
One of my all time favorites.
yep. good ole days
😎 exato!!
@@steve-rw7ty Its Jamie Davies I like this song too steve1234 mate.
I have always loved it. One should read a favourite novel in youth, then middle and old age. It might be revealing. Mon L.
@UCT7dICYBc1hACnL8gAoEXLA Its Jamie Davies how are you doing Glossarian my mate?
Still LOVE listening to them 5/10/24❤❤❤❤❤
2020 anyone ? ...it's timeless ... great song..
Meee ! I love Chrissie
Love this
Yes, 2020 and still listen to The Pretenders!
Yip, Sept 2020, timeless song
Yes
Right from the start, it felt like Diana Rigg’s character from The Avengers. To see Steed at the end was perfect. Chrissie and Diana both beat down barriers in their respective careers.
yess! i love the whole theme for this music video. the avengers was great!
The thing I've always loved about this song is the ending: it goes from being a snappy, fun little song 99% thru, to ending in A minor, sort of shifting the mood. Love those triplets on the drums too...if I remember correctly, that was Steve Jordan...
It was ex-Haircut 100 drummer Blair Cunningham who played on this track....Keyboards by the late great Bernie Worrell.
@@johnallison6474 I remember that Blair played on the album but wasn't sure about this song 'cos it doesn't really sound like him. So I looked it up. Guess it was Steve after all. They're both great.
I was at a Kinks concert and Ray Davies brought Chrissie out onto the stage. The place erupted ! ❤
The girl has always rocked a mean hat, great style, great pipes.
Could you imagine a song made for a duet with her and Karen Carpenter? That would have been amazing if those two would have teamed.
Girls got style
You summed her up well, words I couldn't find myself.
@@sherylmac40 You must be a simpleton.
@@jessiemayhew585 Yes she DOES!!!
The 80s were Amazing. The Pretenders were a real group. I'm happy i got to experience it
The BEST Of Times!!!🤩😍🥰

Thanks.
She is an icon...she has beautiful voice and lyrics.
i miss this era,, brings a lot of good memories
An absolute masterpiece. Genius writing ❤
This girl is so talanted it's just crazy.
Insane🎉
Anyone pushing 50 remembering being a kid?
Only 46 but still a kid when I hear this
Under 40 here, but it’s music my mom played, it makes me nostalgic.
Yep me know. DANG
Presente
Like it was yesterday!
Ahhhh...such nostalgia, 80s were my youth and songs like this from The Pretenders are just magical and brilliant man! Even listening right now in 2020, the timeless Chrissie Hynde was and is a LEGEND...a genius yes?
Same..everything was so perfect...now that I look back
YES!!!
Everything is so wonderfully 80's about this.
This woman.............she writes a song with 3 simple chords and the melody is beautiful..................lyrics that still are recalled from anyone who has ever been hit by lighting from the aura of another...............arrrangements that shuffle a funky measure all under a beautiful melodic love song...........how does she do it?
Having Ray Davies as a teacher.....what can you expect?
My favourite song of all time. It's 3 minutes of pure joy from start to finish. Nothing is overplayed, oversung or overproduced. Everyone is right in the pocket of the groove being laid down by Steve Jordan on drums, not Martin Chambers as some might think. The song abandons the verse, chorus, verse, chorus formula which is one of the reasons it's so hooky-that the infectious not quite swung, but not quite straight groove. The guitar solo calls back to the melody and isn't flashy at all, but it fits.
the mix is exquisite. Nothing jumps out at you and everything is in perfect balance with everything else.
The thing I love most about this is the lyrics. We all have someone that makes us see fireworks when they smile or makes us split like light refracted. It's one of the reasons this song endures all these years later. It's not cliche or staid and Crissy's vocal performance strikes just the right tone.
Just amazing how a classic & very beautiful song can take you to a time travel back to the 80s! I haven't listened to this song in a very long time. Heard it again today and it's just pure magic and nostalgia!!
ABSOLUTELY !
Chrissie and the Pretenders..one of the standards of excellence in the top tier of all Rock & Roll..such originality and uniqueness! I must admit her unique vocal style - I wasn't quite a fan of when they first showed up on MTV in the'80's...but I'm here to say I always liked their music,and one day line a bolt from the blue (a few years later) ..it hit me just how every type of band and music that I loved ,I loved for just those reasons! I fell in love with her voice and ever since then I cherish her style and cannot get enough! It's just perfection- the whole "Pretenders" package ..works and is a wonderful thing!
Essa música fez parte da minha adolescência.
Que Deus abençoe a todos
Anos 80 e 90 foram os melhores.
@@emmanuelH. COM TODA CERTEZA OS MELHORES E INESQUECÍVEIS. SO SAUDDS....
Exatamente isso. Música maravilhosa e pra sempre.❤
That whole era was incredible! Lead female singers rocked!
Hell,yeah.
YES! Bon Jovi, George Michael and Freddie were awesome!
@@Lerxstification I see what you did there.
Que voz maravilhosa!!!
Chryssie canta muito ⚘🤩
"Split like light refracted," "might be great tomorrow, but hopeless yesterday"...... timeless, great lyrics
1986 - this song is awesome!💥
2023 - this song still awesome!💥
I am from East Los Angeles CA.USA!! I heard this as a young man! and it still moves me!!!!
Real songwriter regardless of era. Chrissy H is a genius. Along with the ever legendary original Pretenders lineup
true Talent!!!
She's bad ass.
That's for sure..😘
I love chrissy, great songs, beautiful & timeless.
not bad for a gal from midwest akron, ohio. also hometown to devo and the waitresses!
Chrissie, great songwriter and fantastic guitarist
Probably the MOST underrated 80’s band
Singing no shouting. Every word can be understood. Magnificent.
Yeap! I hear ya! Feel the same and it's freaking great that a song can have that power is a gift!🤗
Class act, brilliant song, happy days
One of the best pop songs ever written. Outstanding.
Well, I'm a little older. An American. And this is one of the best songs I ever listened to growing up. The lyrics, rhythm, chords. Timeless in my opinion.
And I can play it on guitar. So there you go. :)
Its the drumming that captivates me..magnificent
Pop masterpiece. The songwriting is amazing as usual... let's not forget the video itself.
I'm was an 80s teenager. This song makes me happy and also a little sad as I look back into the past.
Chrissie hynde ROCKS!!!
I was teen too. I know what you mean.
@@alfonsomartin6502 me, too!
Because NWO sucks
2023 the leaf's are falling from the tree's,the sun is shining low...and with a cup hot coco just returning from a walk with my dog!!PERFECT SONG!!😊 CHEERS from Holland ❤
The combination of the Pretenders and Avengers is unbeatable! I can't believe I never saw this video before. I wouldn't want to wage a bet on Chrissie vs. Diana.
Chrissie Hynde e sua inconfundível voz. Viva os anos 80!
I love this lady. We had the greatest music...60,70 80's... Tried climbing up the hands of time...but I'm too small to turn them back. Its so sad. Thats ok...Cause I have the Pretenders no matter what.
You at
You are correct! 60,70 and 80s music the best It sounded like music not noise. In her way she was quite a poet. Especially the song about her baby!!!
De las pocas canciones que me ponen de buenas e incluso feliz cuando estoy de malas o triste.
I was at Trader Joe’s …this song comes up, start busted out singing in the isle . Love this song ..
Did you rember bananas and pirates booty
I will ALWAYS love this song. Chrissie and The Pretenders get a little forgotten because there was so much fantastic music in the '80s!
Tenía trece años cuando ví por primera vez este video, en México en el año de 1986 fue estreno mundial y me encantaban mirar y escuchar sus canciones, ahora ya a los 50 años y sigo cantando las, pero en el año 2023. ¡ woow ! Oh Dios mío
Pretenders ? What? CLASSIC BAND. Don't get twisted.
Love this song since always and forever
TEMAZO DE LA MEJOR ÉPOCA , CANTANTES QUE INTERPRETABAN CON EL 💖 Y CANCIONES QUE TODAVÍA PERDURAN DESPUÉS DE 40 AÑOS,,,GRACIAS DIOS POR EXISTIR EN ESE TIEMPO,,,TIEMPOS QUE NO VOLVERÁN !!!
JAMASS.¡¡¡¡¡
Pretenders in an 80s nod to the Avengers in the 60s. Both decades brought us amazing music!
First time I heard pretenders was this song at the disco in my teens. While looking dancing the pretty ladies. Great memories.
while driving, listening to this song and my youth passes by in the rear mirror.....love it
That Bass & Drum line must be the MOST "foot motivating" in ALL of Rock & Roll!
As a bassist myself that rhythm just pumps.. love it
This must be the 500th time I have watched this video, but my aged and arthritic body STILL attempts to move and groove to EVERY beat!!!
Enjoy it. Real music played by real musicians. Not many real ones around these days.
Chrissie has one of the best voices in music. Period.
Always loved Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders. Great live in concert too!
Yes, they were the best! Her voice is so beautiful.
☆LONG LIVE THE 80'S☆
Pretty amazing !!! I love The Pretenders !!!
Great song and video, it doesn't age
Who remembers this song from the movie "Gung Ho"? Great 80s movie!
Great song!
Better video.
Obviously put together by people who knew, loved & appreciated a fun, wonderful show some of us were fortunate enough to grow up with, thank you so much & god bless Dame Diana!❤
Such a great track and a fabulous video.One of my favourite bands.ROCK ON.
Oh dear! These oldies r just so , so the best! Sometimes I just get myself listening to the oldies,!
Fabulous, extraordinary Chrissie Hynde, imposing a spectacular style with the play of guitars, keyboards and drums in this characteristic song from the 80's, is one of my favorites, greetings from LIMA PERU.
Always here for this good mood track😊
Chrissie is so effortlessly cool.
Exactly, she was the definition of cool, especially as a woman, everything she did or sang or dressed, she was just outstanding and am excellent role model. Just like Emma Peel from the Brit TV show The Avengers.
And I am embarking on the last journey of my life, it won't be long now, I realize I am happy that I always have been. I got more in my life than I could give myself. Good luck
Wow....
I still love this song through the years... She is very talented, I love her
Melodia e arranjo milimetricamente de extremo bom gosto, talento e criatividade! Destaque pra linha de contrabaixo. PERFEITA E IRRETOCÁVEL!
Dont get me wrong! Pretenders, are a timelezz rock band..!
Love this song. The melody gets me every time I hear it.
1:58 Defenetly one of the best structure and compose verses in a song. Love it.
One of the best modern day composers❗️🎼🎶🎵
I love it. It will never get old.
Hey I love it also what's that car, pub unintendedd
"I might be great tomorrow, but hopeless yesterday."
That lyric right there!
