True fact: Don't let the sweet innocent faces and happy catchy music fool you. These ladies were HARDCORE. They partied harder then a lot of the guy rock bands of the day. They also managed to have hit after hit for the short time they were together. 😉
The blonde guitarist -- Charlotte Caffey -- got kicked-out of Ozzy Osbourne's dressing room at the 1985 Rock In RIo Festival because she was so wild. Legendary, indeed. These women were the BOMB!@@CdnTrader1
The Go-Go’s were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. They were the first all woman rock band have a number one album. You definitely need to listen to We Got the Beat next!
@@michaelasay8587 Okay well then there the 1st all female band that played all there instruments that had a #1 album Oh we Got the Beat is Definitely Rock And Rock And Roll Isn't Just All About Rock Music!!!
The Go-Go's are all in their 60s and still touring... and looking awesome! Blondie's Clem Burke was sitting in on the drum kit to fill in while the band's drummer is on the mend (he's a percussion legend).
I saw these ladies in 1983 and they were amazing! They’ve always been my favorite girl group and I was so happy when they were finally inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame last year. These girls are the real deal and I love love love them!!
This was my time. I was in my 20’s all through the 80’s and it was the best time of my life. The emergence of all these great artists plus the creativity of the videos, mainly on MTV, made it an unforgettable experience.
I love that Shawn gave it his pumping his arms ultimate enjoyment of a song. I was a kid when this came out, and I played this single on a record player over and over again. Still love this song to this day.
I got to see the Go-Gos in Korea when they did an overseas tour, always respected them for traveling overseas to entertain us servicemembers. I'd suggest "We got the Beat" for their next song.
The Go'Go's were so much fun back in the 80's. The Go Go's and the Bangles were two great girl groups. always loved that they were all "girl power" and played their own instruments. Their songs were so catchy and made you want to dance. I was in my 20's then and before I got married to my husband, I was working and rooming with a good friend of mine and her three little girls. They loved the Go Go's and every time I hear them I think of us dancing all over the house. No matter what we were doing we had the music blaring and were dancing from one room to the next. Their music takes me back to those happy days. How I wish I could bottle some of that energy.
Very young Belinda Carlisle on lead. Hope you recognised her. The Go-Gos are great. I like all the female groups, Bangles, Bananarama, The Runaways, etc. I love 90s female groups or lead singers like Echobelly - King of the Kerb, Lush - Single Girl, Sleeper - Inbetweener, Republica - Drop Dead Gorgeous, Catatonia - Road Rage, The Cardigans - My Favourite Game and Elastica - Connection
Grew up with them. I hear this song and it takes me right back. My friends, the fun, the girls, school... all of it.. Just a fun song during such fun times. Someone wrote this on another page ----> The early 80's were the Saturday morning on the modern era. Bright, sunny, innocent but action packed and lots of cartoon colors. The best part about the music was that it still required real singing and playing, so even the pop stuff had soul and staying power. The drums had swing and bounce, the guitars and vocals had humanity in them. Every track a one of a kind slice of goodness committed to tape and transferred to vinyl. Think I'll go back for another listen.----> nails it.
The 80s had so many awesome bands!!!!!!! Love the GoGos...you should do their song We Got The Beat!! Bananarama was another girl group of 80s but didn't play instruments...they have great songs called Shy Boy ....and Venus
I remember the Go Go’s from the late 70’s. They had a couple good songs but never really followed them. This song does bring back great memories when we were in our early 20’s.
I love the Go Go’s! All girl band with catchy hooks and amazing musicality that formed in 1978 in L.A. Eighties fun!! They were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021! Check out their hits, Vacation and We Got The Beat!❤️❤️
*the song that started it all. i was 13 when this hit. was obsessed. had a cheap synth back then & learned to play all the chords in the song (I was a 'by ear learner'). i only wish we had PC's etc back then to mix/record/etc. But LOVED this song & loved The Go Gos during their **_too-short_** run! great reaction!*
This song was written by the drummer From the Go Go's( or the bass player cant remember..the girl with short dark hair. That sings that lille verses in the red 50's car) and a lead singer from an English band ...''Fun boy three'' Who where having a fling when the Go Go's where touring UK. They wrote it together over the phone when she got back to the USA.''Fun boy three'' released a version as well so diff from the girl's but I love it! It's more English new wave.
The song was co written by Jane Wiedlin who plays rhythm guitar. The bass player is Kathy Valentine The drummer is Gina Schock The lead guitarist and keyboardist is Charlotte Caffey The lead singer is Belinda Carlisle.
Hi Shawn and Mel, These girls came out the same time as some friends of mine The Blasters, and my friend who played the Drums from The Blasters, went out with the Singer, Belinda Carlisle, but they made it big. The Blasters went big too but not as much as the Go Go's. You two should react to one of their songs? I would suggest either Marie Marie, So Long Baby Goodbye, American Music, Red Rose or One Bad Stud. A lot of their Music was used in movies too like One Bad Stud and Blue Shadow were used in Streets Of Fire plus many more
The lead singer is a young Belinda Carlisle. You should try some of her later solo hits like 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth'. 'Leave A Light On', 'Runaway Horses', 'La Luna'. I recommend 'Summer Rain', 'Big Scary Animal' or 'Lay Down Your Arms'.
If you really liked that song, try these two out from other females: “I Wanna Go Home” by Holly & the Italians and “Johnny, Are You Queer” by Josie Cotton
Belinda Carlisle should be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist.The native Beverly Hills, Californian,and former basketball player at BHHS.I'm so glad that basketball career didn't workout.There would be a HUGE,HUGE,VOID of great hits to missing from the 80s music decade.👍
Oh, Mel, I would hang out with you in a heartbeat! I live two blocks from our City Park; we could rent an old convertible & drive it around the park blasting fun good music. There is even a fountain!
You have it backwards. Back in the 1980s, female singers/bands did get the same recognition/respect as male singers/bands. Good music was good music and gender didn't colour our expectations or perceptions. It seems that society has regressed/gone backwards since then as people these days seem genuinely surprised to find great female acts. How odd. Back in the day, we viewed it as normal that both genders made great music.
They are singing about the hatred they got as an all girl band in the late 70s. They were not going to respond to the jealousy. Very important message.
love the Go-Go's always have awesome high energy and just so great of a band a lot of good songs too. great reaction S&M. might like the group-fanny one of the first women rock and roll groups. they are really good. fanny-cat fever-changing horses-badge-it takes alot of good lovin'.
Watch the movie about The Runaways, a all girl Rock group. All the sht they went thru a young women in the business. Spawned a couple of famous artists, Joan Jett & Lita Ford.
Damn........I don't know why, but I guess I just needed to see a couple of my favorite reactors watch this for the first time. It was like seeing it for the first time, myself, which is how it's supposed to be.
They recently got inducted to The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame! You guys need to watch their performance on the Rock andcRoll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They are all still alive.
This was their first hit song from their first album 1981 Beauty and the Beat. The 2nd hit from the album was We Got the Beat. Other great songs from that album, Tonite, Lust to Love, How Much More and World's Away. Their 2nd album 1982, Vacation: Vacation was a hit song and title track. This Old Feeling, We Don't Get Along, I Think It's Me, Girl of 100 Lists, Beatnik Beach. 3rd album Talk Show - hit song Head Over Heels 2020 song from them: Club Zero
Love your reactions and the songs you choose. ❤️. Have a request, my son left the house one day 8 weeks ago and hasn't been heard from since. I'm on an emotional rollercoaster and I don't know what to do. Thought maybe if I could get the word out someone somewhere would know something. Don't mean to bring depression to you or anyone. I'm just a lost mom. He's 30, name is kile. Idk what I think you can do. I only know I need help. Thx
True fact: Don't let the sweet innocent faces and happy catchy music fool you. These ladies were HARDCORE. They partied harder then a lot of the guy rock bands of the day. They also managed to have hit after hit for the short time they were together. 😉
They were absolute legends for how hard they went. Amazing they all survived.
The blonde guitarist -- Charlotte Caffey -- got kicked-out of Ozzy Osbourne's dressing room at the 1985 Rock In RIo Festival because she was so wild. Legendary, indeed. These women were the BOMB!@@CdnTrader1
💯💯💯💯
The Go-Go’s were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. They were the first all woman rock band have a number one album. You definitely need to listen to We Got the Beat next!
They are definitely rock
@@michaelasay8587
Okay well then there the 1st all female band that played all there instruments that had a #1 album
Oh we Got the Beat is Definitely Rock
And Rock And Roll Isn't Just All About Rock Music!!!
Oh as a group
They either wrote or co wrote there own music
if they can get in the hall of fame anyone can. At least they opened the door for any non rock, heartless, soulless pop bands to get in.
The Go-Go's are all in their 60s and still touring... and looking awesome! Blondie's Clem Burke was sitting in on the drum kit to fill in while the band's drummer is on the mend (he's a percussion legend).
40 years later and The Go-Go's are still the only all-woman band to have a Billboard number one album. 👍
The Go-Gos are my favorite 80s girl bands and they were very very popular. More of their fun hit list: "We Got the Beat" and "Vacation".
My favorite female band in the 80's was Vixen....... All Hotties!
"Head over Heels" is another good song.
Belinda Carlisle also had a successful solo career. "Circle In The Sand" "I Get Weak" "Heaven Is A Place On Earth." Don't miss these.
Leave A Light On was another hit from that era...
Summer Rain from a bit later album
And "Mad about You"...
I saw these ladies in 1983 and they were amazing! They’ve always been my favorite girl group and I was so happy when they were finally inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame last year. These girls are the real deal and I love love love them!!
This was my time. I was in my 20’s all through the 80’s and it was the best time
of my life. The emergence of all these great artists plus the creativity of the videos,
mainly on MTV, made it an unforgettable experience.
I turned 12 in 1980, and yes, best time of my life was the 80's! Hit my teen years at the perfect time.
Vacation is another great GoGos song, Jane Wiedlin did a solo song "Rush Hour"
I love that Shawn gave it his pumping his arms ultimate enjoyment of a song. I was a kid when this came out, and I played this single on a record player over and over again. Still love this song to this day.
I got to see the Go-Gos in Korea when they did an overseas tour, always respected them for traveling overseas to entertain us servicemembers. I'd suggest "We got the Beat" for their next song.

Wow! Belinda Carlisle and a 1960 Buick convertible together! It seems I've just glimpsed heaven!
The lead singer Belinda Carlisle has some good solo songs. My fav is "Mad About You" I find it quite romantic.
Always loved the Go-Go's, talented and beautiful.
Grew up with them. I hear this song and it takes me right back. My friends, the fun, the girls, school... all of it.. Just a fun song during such fun times.

Like others have requested We Got The Beat. Also Head Over Heels.
The 80s had so many awesome bands!!!!!!! Love the GoGos...you should do their song We Got The Beat!! Bananarama was another girl group of 80s but didn't play instruments...they have great songs called Shy Boy ....and Venus
My heart moved.... Such a love, the go-gos
One of my favorite female bands from the 80's
A great all female group is KLYMAXX, they are awesome. Any song is fine.
Only all female band to hit #1 playing their own written songs, their own instruments, and singing ever!!! Still now is true. Crazy!! How ????
I was a rocker in the 80’s but always had a soft spot for the Go Go’s they had a great Southern Cali 80’s vibe
I remember the Go Go’s from the late 70’s. They had a couple good songs but never really followed them. This song does bring back great memories when we were in our early 20’s.
Loved the GoGos oh waay back
Good afternoon y'all! Thought of a rap song from the past your sure to enjoy Artist JJ FAD song Supersonic, Have a wonderful day,
Great video and tune.One fun song! So much energy!
Other female bands: Bangles, Girlschool, Runaways, Fanny, Donnas
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers yeah Go-Go's
Most notable about The Go-Go's is that they're not just a female group, but a female band. Everything we hear is Go-Go's.
Man, Belinda was so Cute when she was young.
She's still Beautiful now. 😘😘
I love seeing you guys enjoy this! The go go’s are such an underrated rock band and you gave them the respect they deserve.
Absolutely FANTASTIC
I love the Go Go’s! All girl band with catchy hooks and amazing musicality that formed in 1978 in L.A. Eighties fun!! They were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021! Check out their hits, Vacation and We Got The Beat!❤️❤️
these ladies got together recently... each one playing like they were 20 again..lol. Belinda is wonderful to watch... ^_^
Another great song 🎵by the Go-Go's is The Whole World Lost It's Head. I think you're gonna love both songs 🎵💕Enjoy 😉
One Fave Songs ( & Bands when I was little!) 🤗🥰🎵🎵💃
*the song that started it all. i was 13 when this hit. was obsessed. had a cheap synth back then & learned to play all the chords in the song (I was a 'by ear learner'). i only wish we had PC's etc back then to mix/record/etc. But LOVED this song & loved The Go Gos during their **_too-short_** run! great reaction!*
There's only about 3 or 4 reaction couples on youtube who are genuinely great, and you are one of them.
OMG!!!!!! I just went back to being 15 yrs old . With the look on my hubby's face ,I think he thinks I've lost my mind 😆🤣😂
This is 80s music at the BEST Glad you love it :)
This song was written by the drummer From the Go Go's( or the bass player cant remember..the girl with short dark hair. That sings that lille verses in the red 50's car) and a lead singer from an English band ...''Fun boy three'' Who where having a fling when the Go Go's where touring UK. They wrote it together over the phone when she got back to the USA.''Fun boy three'' released a version as well so diff from the girl's but I love it! It's more English new wave.
The song was co written by Jane Wiedlin who plays rhythm guitar.
The bass player is Kathy Valentine
The drummer is Gina Schock
The lead guitarist and keyboardist is Charlotte Caffey
The lead singer is Belinda Carlisle.
One of my all time favorite songs 💋
The GO-GO’s were bad ass. Jane Wiedlin rocks the bass.They are the first all female punk band. Love them. 💕
Jane plays rhythm guitar. Kathy Valentine plays bass.
I like how you are open to listen to any kind of music
Check out their video for we got the beat from the Gogo's it goes. I love love love that sound that they put out
They started out as a punk rock band. They were HARD partying Punk Rockers in the beginning.
Great Go-Go's song.
Hi Shawn and Mel, These girls came out the same time as some friends of mine The Blasters, and my friend who played the Drums from The Blasters, went out with the Singer, Belinda Carlisle, but they made it big.

I would suggest either Marie Marie, So Long Baby Goodbye, American Music, Red Rose or One Bad Stud. A lot of their Music was used in movies too like One Bad Stud and Blue Shadow were used in Streets Of Fire plus many more
The 80s had the funnest music to dance to
Surprised it was never used for a Chapstick commercial.
Love em. Takes me way back. Good reaction !
Check out their live performances in Central Park.
Vacation
Head over heels
Our lips are sealed
We got the beat
The lead singer is a young Belinda Carlisle. You should try some of her later solo hits like 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth'. 'Leave A Light On', 'Runaway Horses', 'La Luna'. I recommend 'Summer Rain', 'Big Scary Animal' or 'Lay Down Your Arms'.
Reminds me of the year I got my first car and my first trip was driving over the Peace Bridge to Canada myself. The 80’s were the best!
If you really liked that song, try these two out from other females: “I Wanna Go Home” by Holly & the Italians and “Johnny, Are You Queer” by Josie Cotton
This has been covered by the GoGos! They use to play it live.
The 80s were the best. Reminds me of dancing in college bars.
Belinda Carlisle should be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist.The native Beverly Hills, Californian,and former basketball player at BHHS.I'm so glad that basketball career didn't workout.There would be a HUGE,HUGE,VOID of great hits to missing from the 80s music decade.👍
Great reaction! You both are really good together!
Belinda Carlisle, the lead singer had a great solo career as well
Oh, Mel, I would hang out with you in a heartbeat! I live two blocks from our City Park; we could rent an old convertible & drive it around the park blasting fun good music. There is even a fountain!
I love The Go Go's also. And who's says African-Americans are not Opened Minded to other genres of 🎶.

They are singing about the hatred they got as an all girl band in the late 70s. They were not going to respond to the jealousy. Very important message.
I was 13 when this came out. I loved it and wore out all their albums. I used to pretend to be Gina, the drummer, and beat on my bed with dowel rods.
I still have the picture disk 7 inch vinyl of this. Its one of my prized picture disks
Sister sludge is a sister band. "We are family"
love the Go-Go's always have awesome high energy and just so great of a band a lot of good songs too. great reaction S&M. might like the group-fanny one of the first women rock and roll groups. they are really good. fanny-cat fever-changing horses-badge-it takes alot of good lovin'.
Watch the movie about The Runaways, a all girl Rock group. All the sht they went thru a young women in the business. Spawned a couple of famous artists, Joan Jett & Lita Ford.
Not a lot of people can pinpoint the moment they hit puberty, I can. it was the first time I saw this video!
Thats where Friends got the idea for the show intro.
Head over Heals is in my opinion their best song! Please react to it, you'll love it!
There is a cover os this by a band called Fun Boy Three.
Probably my favourite of their many fun, catchy tunes!!
lead singer Belinda Carlisle did a Playboy pictorial in 2001 20 years after this.
The Bangles "In Your Room".
Terrific song, one I've loved for many years. Tough to understand the lyrics. Thank goodness for Google.
That car in the video is a 1960 Buick LeSabre. Thanks for putting this on.
The Album Beauty and the Beat, where this comes from, is one hit after the other not a bad song.
Damn........I don't know why, but I guess I just needed to see a couple of my favorite reactors watch this for the first time. It was like seeing it for the first time, myself, which is how it's supposed to be.
Belinda's first solo hit was mad about you. Great choice to play after some more go go's hits!
The 80'S , need i say more
🔥🔥
Love you guys! ♥️
Those are my girlS! Still the only all female band to write, sing and play instruments on a #1 album. No other female band has done it.
Yes, a fun upbeat song! Makes you wanna dance and just get carefree.
Like Louis Crispo mentioned below Josie Cotton had a couple of really upbeat fun songs - 'Johnny, Are You Queer,' and 'He Could Be the One!'
Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall smashed behind his wife's back and this song came from that.
Bravo 👏🏻💕
They recently got inducted to The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame! You guys need to watch their performance on the Rock andcRoll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. They are all still alive.
First all girl group to write their own songs and play their own instruments and have a number one album.
The only one.
This was their first hit song from their first album 1981 Beauty and the Beat. The 2nd hit from the album was We Got the Beat. Other great songs from that album, Tonite, Lust to Love, How Much More and World's Away.
Their 2nd album 1982, Vacation: Vacation was a hit song and title track. This Old Feeling, We Don't Get Along, I Think It's Me, Girl of 100 Lists, Beatnik Beach.
3rd album Talk Show - hit song Head Over Heels
2020 song from them: Club Zero
Lyrically this song is still so relevant, for the last 20 years young people been talking about “ haters” , that’s what this song is about!
This song is the reason I bought the album. So. Much. Fun!
there is a longer version with more lyrics of the song...this version was cut due to radio time play..shortened...
Love your reactions and the songs you choose. ❤️. Have a request, my son left the house one day 8 weeks ago and hasn't been heard from since. I'm on an emotional rollercoaster and I don't know what to do. Thought maybe if I could get the word out someone somewhere would know something. Don't mean to bring depression to you or anyone. I'm just a lost mom. He's 30, name is kile. Idk what I think you can do. I only know I need help. Thx
Foxes and Fossils did an excellent cover of this, it's available on youtube.
More Go-Go’s. We got the beat should be next for more fun!
check out the whole album. Still remember the day I ran out and bought the cassette.
My goodness did I have a crush on Belinda Carlisle when I was a kid. Pretty sure I wasn't alone on that lol.
You seem like good people.
