This was a KILLER hit. Everyone loved it when it came out.
Not everyone.
This video was directed by Philippe Decouflé, same guy who made the "Truth Faith" video for New Order.
I still do!
@@mikep6222 everyone 🙂

Roland Gift's voice is instantly recognizable, this was one of the best songs of the 80s. I loved their versions of Suspicious Minds and Ever Fallen In Love
he comes from the city of HULL were I live( Roland)) in england
Absolutely, this song is one of the best from 80s.
He was in an episode of the series Highlander too.
He was one of the best Highlander villains
Love For Sale
Roland is my neighbour loved this and he enjoyed your reaction ❤
Tell Roland he's a beautiful soul my friend ❤
You should ask Roland if he'd join Rob and Amber for one of their Creator videos! That would be so fun.
80's is the best decade in music to me
I know y'all were not expecting that!!! This song was super popular.
He starts singing in falsetto, then when he gets to "She drives me crazy" he is singing in his regular voice.
Loved Roland, he is from my home town of Hull, UK, we even boxed at the same boxing club. Gave my dad who was secretary a lovely silver ring before he left to follow his dream of singing.
An incredibly underrated and overlooked British Band of the 80's. Rolands voice along with music that's hard not to want to jig along with earned them hit after hit on the UK charts. 'I'm Not The Man I Used To Be' and 'Ever Fallen In Love' are perfect examples of this. For me personally, their Album 'The Raw & The Cooked' was one of the best albums of the decade.
They were HUUUUGE here in the UK! Still floor fillers in bars and clubs here.
The Raw & the Cooked was one of the great albums of the 80s. Nearly wore out the groove!
They were not overlooked at all, everyone loved the raw and the cooked. Massive hit album.
Una parte de The English Beat. Bajo y guitarra. Excelentes músicos.
I loved these guys back in the day They also covered Elvis with Suspicious Minds
Yes!!! Love their version of ‘’Suspicious Minds’!!
They covered Mark James' Suspicious Minds, Elvis' version is a cover too... Great version though
@@limperial I was gonna say, Elvis never performed an original song, so how would one cover Elvis?
Seconded ... also funny video that manages to only briefly (and hilariously) restrain Andy and David's very special dance moves.
@@kilgor1980 I agree that Elvis' version of 'Suspicious Minds' is a cover, but not that Elvis never performed an original song..... What about 'If I Can Dream', for example?
I had a young daughter when this came out and she loved watching this on MTV - brings me back.
Lol! Back when MTV actually played videos...sigh!
I miss my MTV 🤣🤣
I'm sure y'all have been told this before, but the reason 80s videos were so absolutely wild and random was because MTV had of course just came into being, and /everybody/ had to make a video for their songs. So it was kind of an unknown frontier, and people were just coming up with the wildest things possible to stand out. Truly a crazy, magical time for music videos!
Plus we usually heard the song on the radio first. Easier to pay attention to the video 😊
My understanding is that directors often insisted on being "experimental" and often disregarded lyrics and even the artist's conception of what they wanted videos to be like.
This song was a #1 in the late 80s and was a total mind worm. They have multiple hits including Don't Look Back and Good Thing.
To truly appreciate this song, you have to hear it on a night club's sound system like we did way back when. Another one of those songs that we immediately turned up when it came on the car radio.
These are undisputed Facts
Agree
THIS!!! It was the kind of music that works on sound systems of the day.
Hell Yeah! 🤙🏽
I get flashbacks of prom night and laying out at the beach (or the backyard with the radio & sprinkler)! 17 was 🤩 fun!
I know we say this a lot, but this was a huge radio hit.
LOVE FYC. Roland Gift's voice is absolutely packed with character and uniqueness.
I'm a German living in Italy
I'm 53...my son Is 22 and he made all my vinyls of the '80 his own✌️✌️💓💓
The name comes from the 60s movie ‘All the Fine Ypung Cannibals’ with Natalie Wood and Robert Wagner based on the life of jazz trumpeter Chet Baker.
This was a massive hit in 1989. Still love it all these years later.
The 'Fine Young Cannibals' are an excellent band, formed in Birmingham, UK, the lead singer Rowland Gift was also an actor. Other tracks to check out by them are: 'Johnny Come Home', 'I'm Not The Man I Used To Be', and 'Good Thing'. Another great reaction, thank you so much.
Yes, Johnny Come Home is brilliant
Awesome song , this group should’ve gone way further than they did ! Excellent sound ! 🇬🇧🇺🇸
He's got a Great Falsetto."A method of voice production used by male singers, especially tenors, to sing notes higher than their normal range."
Some call it "Head Tone".
Absolutely. Only the Bee Gees come to mind as rivals.
Frankie Valli was pretty good at that.
@@russellmorgan5611 Franki Valli hit those high notes with his natural voice. Same with Roy Orbison. No falsetto. You can tell by how full-bodied their high voices are. A falsetto is quite thin.
@@russellmorgan5611 Very good indeed
@@paranoidrodent A few more but yeah, and their harmonies were fantastic
After the English Beat broke up some members started General Public, others started FYC. From FYC give "Don't Look Back" a listen.
My mate was in a club in Handsworth, Biimingham for an afternoon drink. The band were there rehearsing and stopping for drinks. God, I wished I had been there!
This song steam rolled in the 80s and was a smash hit. For good reason. It's catchy and his voice is addictive. I don't know how much it was manipulated in studio, but it is still a good song all these years later.
My husband would sing this to me always! Lol
As Scott Swenson mentioned the lead singer Roland Gift played on Highlander the series in the 90's. Other musicians who guest-starred on the show were Sheena Easton, Vanity, Joan Jett, and Roger Daltrey of The Who. Jim Byrnes, a Canadian blues musician, played a recurring role as Duncan MacLeod's mortal friend.
I loved the Highlander series! And I have one of Jim Byrnes’ CDs. ❤️🎶
He was in SERENITY
I remember watching that episode. He played a bad guy.
Jim Byrnes is actually an American but he has lived in Vancouver, where the Highlander series was shot, since the early-mid '70s
@@conniedean1977 I own several of his CD's myself
Good Thing would be another fun one to try by this group
I wish they would have recorded more. I absolutely love their sound. Their “The Raw & The Cooked” album is a far underrated album.
Forgotten.
This song was such a HUGE hit when it came out to the point that it was so overplayed publically that I needed to go several years without hearing it. But it was unique and catchy which is why it skyrocketed. Other songs like this would be “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred, “Tubthumping” by Chumbawamba and “My Girl (Gone Gone Gone)” by Chilliwack
Fact.
Overplayed is an under statement.
would´ve listened to the club remix instead, is such a banger
Their song GOOD THING is a must-react-to. It draws straight from 1960s R&B. It’s got a beat that will immediately make you think of bands like The Supremes and The Four Tops.
A bit of history: both She Drives Me Crazy and Good Thing went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band had never had major success in the USA before, She Drives Me Crazy came out of NOWHERE.
I remember the very first time I heard She Drives Me Crazy, just like it was yesterday. I remember staring at my radio asking myself what the hell is this and OMG it’s amazing!
Oh you guys are on a roll tonight I love Fine Young Cannibals.
The 2 guitarists in this band are understated MASTERS! They were also in The Beat (known as English Beat in the US) and they are really fascinating to listen to. They don't really do crazy solos...they are always subtle and complement each other like no 2 other guitarists I have ever heard. I always wished that they would get back together with The Beat. If you haven't listened to the English Beat, you really need to check out Mirror in the Bathroom, Save it for Later, and more...
Preach.....great post !!!
Absolutely fella. The Beat... wow
You need to try "Good Thing" and "I'm Not the Man I Used to Be" all from the same album. Amazing band, incredibly talented and the biggest mystery of them all is Roland Gift leaving the music industry for an acting career. His voice is/was absolutely amazing and it was such a loss to music.
My daughter (26 now) describes the 80’s music as either rock ballads or crazy circus music! The videos of the 80’s kind of prove her point, 😜
I miss MTV
She’s deluded . Music isn’t videos.
The band's name is taken from an early 60s movie; All The Fine Young Cannibals staring Robert Wagner and Natalie Woods. I really think you guys would like their cover of Elvis Pressley's Suspicious Minds.
Soooo many 80’s bands were named from movies, or characters from movies:
10,000 Maniacs (Two Thousand Maniacs)
Duran Duran (character from Jane Fonda movie Barbarella)
*Presley
Love this song ❤
The lead singer also tried acting and was a pretty awesome villain in highlander the series.
The bass player and the guitarist were in the band The English Beat. If you react to them: "Mirror in the Bathroom" and "Save It For Later" are my favorites. For more falsetto singing, try The Stylistics: "Betcha By Golly Wow", "I'm Stone In Love with You", and "You Make Me Feel Brand New."
Or just The Beat if you're not from America.
Mirror in the Bathroom is an amazing song and they should do that one too.
Yes, react to the Stylistics. I've been suggesting them. Also "You Are Everything.". Jay only thinks he's heard the best falsetto in Barry Gibb. There's also the one and only Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations.
Definitely do Mirror In The Bathroom. I was obsessed by that song
@@aharon59 I especially loved how it was used in the movie "Grosse Point Blank" - lots of great songs on that soundtrack.
The two guitarists were in The English Beat.When The Beat broke up, the band’s lead singers and songwriters formed General Public and these two found Roland Gift, a drama student (as I recall) to do the singing. All three bands, especially the Beat, had some really great songs.
Yes, Jay and Amber should definitely do The English Beat (called that in the US) or The Beat (in UK). Try the songs I Confess, Mirror In the Bathroom, or their cover of Smokey Robinson's Tears of A Clown.
@@SMccrate01 I concur, but would add "Hands Off (She's Mine)" and "Doors of Your Heart." Moreover, they SHOULD do a whole 80s UK ska reaction week with Madness, The Specials, The Selector, and Bad Manners....
WHERE'S the Tenderness?? ruclips.net/video/gZNAMLGFpU0/видео.html
Save it For Later, my favourite later Beat song
@@keithwright8626 great song...mine is mirror in the bathroom
I love finding these channels. As a child of the 80s, It’s so disheartening that most younger generations, don’t want to know the music we listened to. Sadly my almost 12 year old is that way (despite many attempts by me in different ways)
So I’m all about this :)
Idk if anyone said anything in the other comments; but the difference in his vocals between the verses and chorus, is because he’s using his falsetto voice.
Guitar and bass player are from the Beat...check out Mirror in the Bathroom, Too nice to Talk too, Tears of a Clown and "Cant get used to losing you"
I'd say their other songs not to be missed are Johnny Come Home and their cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds.
YOU ARE A GENIUS THOSE ARE THE TWO SONGS I WOULD PICK OUT.
Whenever my wife says "I`m sorry", she does it in Roland Gift`s voice.
Blue is a great track
I loved Johnny come home such a 80's song
Those two plus "Good Thing", "Ever Fallen in Love" and "I'm Not the Man I Used to Be"
There are moments in this song where his voice made me think of Aaron Neville, who you should check out. Try "Tell It Like It Is" from 1966. A great song.
Wow, I never noticed that resemblance before, but it seems obvious now!
Yes--- you are so right!! And yes, do anything Aaron Neville !!!
The Neville Brothers - 1989 - Yellow Moon, please. The New Orleans music scene goes totally unreacted. Yellow Moon was such a different and welcome, funky, and mysterious-sounding song. The Nevilles had a huge string of hit in the 60's as The Meters. Cissy Strut by The Meters is pure gold.
@CrazyCat Lady I was going to suggest that-- but I couldn't remember the title!!! Yes-- Rob & Amber adore Linda Ronstadt, so this request should be easy!
YES! Great comparison!
Roland Gift was also was an actor. He played a main reoccurring villian in Highlander, the series.
Ok ..this is a bop and the fine young cannibals were a vibe. Absolutely loved them.
You can’t beat the 80’s music. I’m so glad my teen years was through the 80’s
So am I 🤗
I’m a huge fan of 80’s music but
my teen years was in the 60’s.
The highlight of which was seeing
Hendrix live at Newport 69. ✌️
70's music for me.
Shits all over 2020/21! Go bk to 89 in a heartbeat!
You can. 70s music is better.
I keep hoping Jay and Amber will cover the Eurythmics track "Love Is a Stranger" - great 1980s video - and Annie Lennox at her best.
the soundtrack to my misspent youth, fistfights at the ice skating rink, fat lips, black eyes swollen knuckles, for such a peaceful song 😂
While I was working this morning, “ She Drives Me Crazy” popped in my head so I had to rush to my Apple music to repeatedly watch the video!
They also did a nice cover of the Buzzcocks' Ever Fall in Love.
The 80's were crazy ,with the start of MTV all bands realized they had to put out a video or they would get no airplay. So many talented people making videos that we never knew what we were going to get. Everyone tried to make something new and different. It was an amazing era for sure. Very creative!
I loved the 80s
It's almost as if "video killed the radio star".
That pretty much sums it up
Crafty of Dire Straights to put "I want my MTV" into a song.
Roland was also from Londonbeat. “I’ve been thinking about you”
This song was such a big hit. And that’s not always a good thing.
I felt like they kind of turned his voice into a gimmick. He was so good and love London beat.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a great song. But I just feel like it kind of put him in a box.
One of my favorite songs. Reminds me of a girl I knew in the late 90's. "Good Thing" is also a catchy tune.
Maybe its was because I was in college when this song was out but it was inescapable. Absolutely one of them biggest hits of them late 80s. I always preferred the follow up Good Thing as its a bit funkier.
This song and their "Good Thing" were featured in the great movie "Tin Men."
Too few people have seen “Tin Men.” Dreyfuss, DeVito, and all the side characters - John Mahoney, Bruno Kirby, Jackie Gail,…. Hilarious!
@@rustybarrel516 Kinda sad the way Richard's wife was used, but I do love this movie.
I remember when this came out in 89. I was 5 and it reminds me of the good times I spent at my grandparents who were babysitting me at the time before I started kindergarten. MTV all day yo!!!
Yeah when he goes “And I can’t help myself!” Every man knows that feeling, when you falling for her… Some men deal with it better than others.
But very easily can your infatuation for her take control of you. That is what this song is about. That is the danger of it. How it takes control. How it crushes you.
Good grief! Loved the song but I'd forgotten how uniquely handsome the singer was. Another commentor verified that I thought he'd gone into acting as well.
When this came out I was doing tech with a musical theater in NorCal. After performances cast and crew would go for drinks at a late hours diner/bar where I'd head straight to the jukebox to put this song on. I'd play it as much as they'd let me 😄
It's a song about, confidence.
he's scared during the song, passive.
but during the short chorus he's confidant, like when he's confronting the woman he likes, courage is projected.
Hi voice reminds me of the Bee Gees with falsetto. When you guys talked about a whisper, it reminded me of a song you guys would like. It's called, Whisper to a Scream by Icicle Works. It's 80s and is energetic. The drums are great in it! It think you'd like it!
So glad youns listened to this..he has a unique haunting voice...
What a great song this is, greatly under appreciated even by me but whenever I hear this song I love it so much. Thank you for reacting to this then I can take a moment to appreciate it again. I’m so glad my parents introduced me to this one! ❤️🇬🇧
"Johnny come home" also shows off Roland's excellent singing voice
I was a teenager in the 80's and it will always be my favorite era of music. Whether it was rock or pop it was always fun, make you feel good music :)
I was about 12 years old when this song came out. All the girls my age were obsessing about New Kids on the Block not me I loved The Fine Young Cannibals.
The 80's were the best!! We knew the words to every kind of music/song because if it came on the radio, we listened and learned! So many of these songs you're bringing back to memory...and after all these years, I still know the words. Thank you - SO fun 😍
FYI.....Dolly Parton covered this song a few years ago.
Mama always said 80's music videos are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
That is a very smooth falsetto. Then he goes down to his head voice, still with a lot of front placement. There is still a lot to learn about how singers use their voices. 😉
A very INXS sound... Still LOVING this song 34+ years later... I also love that you can interject any color of hair and the song still works...
80's HITS...
1. "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora
2. "One Night in Bangkok" by Murray Head
3. "Rock Me Amedeus" by Falco
4. "99 Luft Ballons (German) or 99 Red Ballons (English)" by Nena (female lead singer/Friday). I honestly feel the German version truly conveys the meaning/feeling of the song far better that the "bubblegum" feeling of the English version. The song is about a phrase of the balloons going up as the start of World War III. Living less than 150 km's from the East German border in 1983 (when this song was released) also tugs at my heart about just how close the world came to the END that fall...AND
5. "Always On My Mind" by the Pet Shop Boys. Easily on par with the Elvis version...
I was only thinkiing when this was on the radio today that it sounded like KC (Sunshine Band) but was an INXS song until I watched this and remembered. I reckon these for starters might rock their boat...
Terence Trent D'arby: Sign Your Name/ If You Let Me Stay
Sad Cafe: My Oh My
The Cranberries: Zombies
Tom Tom Club: Wordy Rapping Hood
Exactly, I prefer brunettes, and it always works.😊
I'm 43...do the math 😉 this was my first favourite song that I heard on radio and it hit me like lightning!
I’m 61 do the math
‘Ever Fallen In Love’ is a definite one to check out by Fine Young Cannibals. It’s a great version of the song with his unique voice. Originally it was a buzzcocks punk classic.
This entire album is awesome. I bought it & played it out literally & had to buy another one. It was a CD.
My 7th grade teacher would sometimes gives us popular songs to sing, and I'll never forget the day we got this one. She gave us lyrics that left the 'OhhOhh' out (I think she hated it), but the whole class insisted on adding it. She made us start over at least five times before throwing up her hands and walking out in disgust. Pretty sure we kept singing.
This song was played so much from late 1988 to 1989! I just turned 18 and was exploring adult life. This song was a part of it.
The two guitarists with the extraordinary dancing were in the (English) Beat depending upon whether you are from the UK or US. You should definitely give Tears of a Clown or Mirror in the Bathroom a go.
Love the fine young Cannibals, Roland Gift the lead vocalist is also an actor, and playwright,. My favourite song of theirs is Not the man I used to be, but I also loved the song Johnny come home.
I think you would like “Johnny come home” by FYC. One of my favourites
Just what I was thinking
In Brasil, my country, the music "She Drives Me Crazy" he was a "BANG"!!!!!!
Roland Gift is singing in "falsetto". The name "Fine Young Cannibals" is borrowed from the title of a 50's movie and if you haven't already, you might really dig their super-swinging soul track, "Good Thing".
They actually covered Elvis's "Suspicious Minds" and I love it.
There's a great version of this song with the Muppets that your girls would love!
glad you reviewed this. when I saw your reaction to Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, and it dawned upon me, this was at the beginning of MTV!!! The graphics was primitive but prior to MTV, it was just shows like Soul Train and American Bandstand. MTV created an industry that didn't exist and all music videos have been the beneficiaries ever since. Glad you enjoyed the music. I love your reactions!
This song was an immediate mega-hit! I love the unique video, so fun and energetic! They are a British pop band and the lead singer, Roland Gift, has a distinctive falsetto! Check out their hit, Good Thing!❤️❤️
I remember my friends and I geeking out at the clubs jumping around on the dance floors like the characters in this video.
This band had some new wave pedigree behind it; the singer, Roland Gift, was an early scenester in London's early punk scene in the mid 70s, while the guitarist and bass player were both in The Beat (The English Beat in The States) part of the early 80s ska revival in the UK.
This takes me waaaaay back to Medusa's in Chicago in the late 80s . . .
You must pay honor to Naomi Judd. She was awesome as a country soloist and as a member of the Judds group. Mother to both Wynonna Judd a true artist in her own right and the Actress Ashley Judd.
The Judds were scheduled to be inducted int the country music hall of fame tomorrow.
The British were untouchable for music in the 80s. What a decade to grown up in :)
Can you say 'Falsetto'? Sure! I knew you could! :)LOL:( I've always loved that song for the switches from soft falsetto for the verses to full voice for the chorus. I agree, it is really cool! :)
Jordan - I know that you were traumatized by Rock Lobster - and please forgive me. But your reaction to that made me laugh until I cried. I've been watching your reactions for a year - and have NEVER seen you so absolutely flummoxed. It's all in good fun though. And I promise there are still MANY more AMAZING songs for you and Amber to react to. So just keep the faith ;)
That was the funniest song reaction I've ever seen, and with Amber having so much fun, that made it even funnier.
@@MarieAnne. I agree, I just went back and watched it again, so funny!
I've watched this reaction at least three times, showed it to my wife and a few others. Bust a gut every time I watch it. My favorite reaction to date.
Best yet, have to agree
FYC is one of my all time faves! The singer was previously with The English Beat which you should most def go on a deep dive into as well. At the tail end, a suggested video came up on your screen called "Small Town Boy" by Bronski Beat. You GOTTA hear it. It's a STUNNER.
Roland Gift was never actually with The Beat, the band he was with called Akrylykz toured with The Beat on their last tour and once The Beat broke up the Guitarist and Bass player for The Beat remembering how good Roland's voice was gotten touch and asked him to be the vocalist for their new band The Fine Young Cannibles. Ranking Roger was the main vocalist for The Beat or English Beat in the US.
The Beat - Too Nice to Talk to or Mirror in The Bathroom will rock your world. Take it from a Brummie.
Andy Cox and David "Shuffle" Steele were in the [English] Beat, along with Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger (who later formed General Public.
"Small Town Boy" is an absolute heartbreaker.
I’m frim 80’s, danced so much this music!!!
The singer, Roland Gift, became a successful TV actor, after this.
Roland (lead singer) does have a very unique voice. When he sings that first note, you know its him. This was HUGE HUGE hit in the 80s.
He started as sax player, became the singer. He didn't want to do both.
What's wrong with Rock Lobster? UNIQUE song. Art.
It totally shook Jordan. He sat there with his jaw dropped the whole time with a "WTF" look on his face.
You're not wrong, but everything aint for everyone, and that's just not for him. Go figger 🤷🏾♂️
Ya, Rock Lobster is SOO fun, but he really didn't like it...:P
I think Jordan needs to give the B-52's another shot. I'd go Private Idaho. But another edgy one to make him question our recommendations would be Planet Claire.
@@patcon314 I remember. There is one even weirder video of them performing that song than the one he probably watched. (I'm pretty sure he saw the one everyone reacts to, but I don't remember right now)
The band come from Birmingham in the West Midlands and was formed in 1984. The band which descibe it self as pop rock/progressive soul was made up of the founding members the trio were bassist David Steele, guitarist Andy Cox and singer Roland Gift who turns 62 at the end of the month. Roland has the unique ability to hit the high and low notes on the register to hit while not losing the tune. The MIDLANDS East and West for many years have been a proving ground for great new and emerging talent who have gone on to have big careers.
David Steele is from the isle of wight, his mum was my health visitor when i had my daughter.
This song was huge!
My friends and I went into a Turtles music store ( or maybe Camelot, I can't remember) we split up and spent an hour looking at music.
When we got back in the car we were all excited about the "cassingle" we each bought. Turns out we all bought the same song: "She Drives Me Crazy"!
We laughed and laughed!
Great memories!
How did you two grow up never listening to any music in yoyr parent's car, with friends or in clubs? I just dont get it. Dud you go to strict religious churches?
Great story!
I feel ya, about those memories.
@@bullshitcaller1541 Why are you asking that of someone who is not the reactors?
@@jedislap8726 I’m guessing he or she has posted the comment in the wrong place - mistakenly in this thread, when they meant to post it in the main section.
Loved Fine Young Cannibals, this entire album was fire! Try my personal favorite "I'm Not The Man I Used To Be" off it, next guys!! You'll like!
One of the most popular British songs of the 1980s...You still hear it today in the most obscure places...for example in the Supermarket today. Other hits from the band included Good Thing and I'm not the man I used to be.
believe it or not the late great Rush Limbaugh played it frequently on his radio show. Loved the whole cd.
This is my favorite 80s song. I graduated high school in 1989 and every time I hear this, I remember where I was and what I was doing back then.
Rock Lobster along with Paul McCartney’s ‘Coming Up’ are the two songs that encouraged John Lennon to get back into making music after his 5 years spent raising his second son Sean and essentially being a househusband whilst Yoko Ono tended to all the business
You should check out Paul McCartney’s ‘Coming Up’ from his 1980 album ‘McCartney II’ as well as John Lennon’s ‘Just Like Starting Over’ which is a track from his last album he released before his death called ‘Double Fantasy’ the album is half John Lennon songs and half Yoko Ono songs and was also released in 1980
He had a nanny so it wasn't JUST him.
