If this song was released in year 2015 to 2020 it will be an instant hit. This track was ahead of it's time with its instrumental sounds layering . Strong vocals.
Nick gave a completely different sound and image. And many dropped away from the band. But the folk who were into the whole band, and not just the cute singer and cute song, remained with them.
They're really talented artists, and sorely underrated as an overall band. Limahl made them a gimmick, and it's unfortunate audiences weren't able to see past the "image" of him in the lead enough to appreciate the talent involved. Nick is an enigmatic leader, a great singer and bassist and I love ISLANDS!
This is one of my absolute favorites by Kaja. Nick Beggs is one of three of my bass guitar heroes, the other two being Andy Rourke of The Smiths and Getty Lee of Rush.
I'm liking this song, and the band is tight and talented. Very amusing to see the Limahl vs. Nick chatter (some people firmly in one camp or the other...me, I'm in both). IMHO I think this video (as far as those I've seen so far) is peak young Nick adorableness in this comfy casual look (what a cuddly cutiepie!). Not only is he handsome, but also a good singer and very good bass player. As of late he's still a looker (so stylin' in his kilts/skirts/skilts), and more talented than ever. And if you manage to come across his phone conversatons with telemarkers, you'd see he's also a very clever, jocular fellow as well. ❤☮🌎
They had very good songs on their second album. And Nick Beggs is actually a very good singer and charming. I liked the new line up then. But the public didn't buy it without Limahl and the band just died. Huge mistake to fire Limahl (who was devastated ).

Kajagoogoo presenta un botón de muestra de la claridad de ideas y genio creativo de los artistas pop de la penúltima década del siglo XX.

Absolutely brilliant. Very underestimated band. Better of without self centred , egotistical Limahl. These guys are good musicians. Pity they never hung around. Beat is brill.
i suggest you watch the VH1 Band reunited series. Maybe you can watch it to hear some actual facts from the band members, so you can finally stop blaming Limahl. And i personally like them more without him.
Wish we could somehow get back to those amazing 80s these first new Decades have been nothing but disasters one after another? - those 80s were carefree - Everything was good - then we hit the 90s it started going wrong then ? Hit the millennium & just been one thing after another - Hey Eon Lets turn Mars into a permanent 80s style planet ? That would be cool - All Art deco buildings with 80s interiors (Conran Habitat style) - All the best of the 80 style clothing - keeping the classics of every decade too - In a world were you want to live ! - You want wake up in a morning - Like you did back then - No world leaders - like on earth ? - These few have far too much power - It has to be a real democracy - We need Guardians of the planet ! -The World comes first - Close second the people everyone equal - Crime well Mars is so big there will be a forbidden zone - A whole City were these criminal minded people will spend their days encarserated in this segregated area ! - Miles from any where !

Nick Beggs … awesome. Loved his voice, the basslines he pulled… What a talent and what an unforgettable smile !!!
Nick Beggs on addition to vocals played ten-string bass all the time. Cosmic skills.🤘🙂🖖.
oh yes, the Chapman Stick
If this song was released in year 2015 to 2020 it will be an instant hit. This track was ahead of it's time with its instrumental sounds layering . Strong vocals.
This group is the definition of underrated.
no they're not, they are indeed THE definition of airhead rock, and I love it
They are indeed fabulous!
Time flies
It's good that we appreciate these guys. Islands is a good album. 👍🏻
There is hardly even one video in the entire RUclips under which some idiot would not write that this was the most underrated group
Nick Beggs is great, his voice's fantastic! 🎼 Soundtrack of my 80s
This song turned my world upside down. What a song, what a voice, charisma. The ultimate popsong. Still recovering ❤
Nick has a unique voice .
He is Great ♥️. The Lions mouth .He is your Song.
But Which song???
WHO is W ho?
Nick gave a completely different sound and image. And many dropped away from the band. But the folk who were into the whole band, and not just the cute singer and cute song, remained with them.
Then Kaja happened...
@anotheryoutubechannelabout1321 in the States this album was released as Kaja - Extra Play.
So for me Limahl was the googoo they left behind.
Nick Beggs will always be my crush
Me too! 😆💕🎸
He has soo much creative energy...
Same
He's awesome . Even as an old man when he posts naked pics in the snow on instagram
Que buena banda...Nick Beggs es un gran bajista y acá demuestra que las voces tampoco se alejaban de la brillantez.
Criminally underrated band they deserved to be so much bigger than they were.
It makes me sad how underrated kajagoogoo is
same
@@KitsukiTheLostIsland Only by the folk who disappeared. Not by the genuine folk who liked the whole band and not just a cute face. And a cute song.
Same goes for It Bites, couple of hit singles then disappear commercially...

Limahl made them a gimmick, and it's unfortunate audiences weren't able to see past the "image" of him in the lead enough to appreciate the talent involved.

Totally agree,they didn't need limahl,Nick more than holds his own and his striking appearance was enough
Can't get enough of Kajagoogoo, fabulous musicians.
Great seeing Nick sing
Excellent bass player
There will never be stuff like this again. ROCK on 80s. ROCK on FRIENDS
Can’t stop listening to this beauty ❤
I was never into New Wave until I discovered Nick Beggs.
LOL Love that "hey this camera!" moment at 3:04
Nick is awesome
This is one of my absolute favorites by Kaja. Nick Beggs is one of three of my bass guitar heroes, the other two being Andy Rourke of The Smiths and Getty Lee of Rush.
Love to see them again.
I'm liking this song, and the band is tight and talented.

I was just starting to take notice of music when this band came out. Still love them ❤
Che tempi!!!Questa musica faceva ballare tutti😁😚
War meine lieblingsgruppe damals, noch heute geil
Moja miłość gdy miałam 13 lat,fascynacja odżyła ❤
0:01 best beginning of a song ever ♥️
Freakin cool playing the Chapman Stick and sing at the same time...i know this is not Live but he did it there also.
At last!! Someone recognising the Chapman stick... Much kudos x
Recently listened to islands album,wow❤
Big Apple is another great song with Nick on lead vocals.
Totally agree
They had very good songs on their second album. And Nick Beggs is actually a very good singer and charming. I liked the new line up then. But the public didn't buy it without Limahl and the band just died. Huge mistake to fire Limahl (who was devastated ).
Yes... managed badly... the band were ruptured and paid the price.
I ❤️ KAJAGOOGOO 💋
Both versions are great. Too bad they weren’t given a chance after Limahl left.
Suuuper skład, suuuper przebój
Absolutamente fuera de serie…..magníficos estos Kajagoogoo….👏👏👏👏👏
Uwielbiam. Słuchałam kiedyś a potem gdzieś mi to umknęło. Teraz wracam i nadal uwielbiam, kocham i chce mi się słuchać ❤
¡¡¡¡¡Genios!!!!!
懐かしい！
イイネ！
Yes you’re right! It is good!
Great tune deserved to be huge
Chapman stick usually played by progrock or fusio/rock jazz band. But this is amazing.
Awesome!
I love both this version and the rerecorded version with Limahl on lead vocals.
This is far from something I'd run out & buy but the band did have some classics that were well done.
3:05cute💜
amazing talent on the bass ...amazing musician
好きだ〰️💜
Me too

Extraordinario sonido …..gran tema …👏👏👏👏👏
Nick...💞🌼💞🌼💞🌼💞🌼💞
What a gorgeous man.
Kajagoogoo has totally changed it style of make music after Limahl has joined it. I rather before he, but the two eras was great
some fantastic art nouveau
Très bon :))
Bello Nick.
3:05 that face sorprendent
AHH NICK LOOKS SO CUTE IN THIS BFGDHJFDB
Oh yeah, love the brass
Limahl did not leave, the band fired him, which was a bad move. The success they had with him, went straight down the tube afterwards.
Wade The only success they had was from Too Shy because it was produced by a Duran Duran member
Nick Beggs what a bass player
Personally, I feel that Nick Beggs kicked out Limahl bc of the fact that he had backstage and Limahl had center stage, and also Limahl’s style.
Monstros🎧🎤🎵🎸🎹🎷🎺📀🔥
This band was called Kaja after they kicked out their best singer ever, Limahl.
ボーカルに専念するニックより、ベースやスティックを駆使しながら歌うニック・ベッグスがアダルトなkajagoogooでかっこいい！
I love utterly mindless rock like this to pass the time away in drunken stupidity. how wonderful
Esse som e top de linha😎😃
I love it!
Wspaniałe.
So kickass i just HAD to shoplift it : D
a very excellent group with an incredible instrumental ability 🤙🤘
Nick Beggs 😍
" ÓTIMA A MÚSICA "
Epic
Anche se la voce era meno bella di quella di Limahl, Nick è un gran bassista ed era pure troppo carino e simpatico. Brano top in disco nell'estate 84
ROAR!
❤❤❤❤❤
Nick so young with the Chapman stick.
Using up the goodwill imho!
Bands ought to use Chapman Sticks more often. Great sound. Versatile.
❤

Ik heb de picture disc nog!

Crime well Mars is so big there will be a forbidden zone - A whole City were these criminal minded people will spend their days encarserated in this segregated area ! - Miles from any where !
2:43 best part of the song
Nick Begss the best
This sounds like DeBarge ("be my lady", "i give up on you", lead vocals by James DeBarge, not El DeBarge)
Hey, what if we add 1 brass and 1 woodwind player and subtract 1 singer?
nice nick's outfit
This is Leighton buzzard in the future 😮
Love his voice more than Limahl's.
Limhal was the face of the group, getting rid of him was a deadly mistake.
I don't think so... Islands is a great album too.
100% correct.
They were straight up jealous.
I thought he decided to leave the group.
totally agree and Nick cant even sing
God he was so cute
If you like this song look up post production by telan devik ;)
Con questa facevo i gavettoni in vespa😂
Oouuhh...Nick was very attractive too...🙈☺️
Who was the best singer limahl or nick
Limahl...
EXCELENTE😎(´∀｀)♡
A ja się z nich nabijałem w latach 80tych teraz wiem ,że to błąd .Nick sorry😔
