I'm 51 and still love it and its in my Spotify play list, when it was released, my friend and l played it on repeat along with Pump Up the Jam and Stutter Rap by Beasty Boys
I was in grade 8 when this song came out. I loved it. I waited for hours with my finger on the record button to get the cleanest start and finish from the radio. I made the best tapes, made the custom paper insert with art on the front, and track list on the back. So much fun, we had to put in work to hear our favourite songs lol
I did too knowing that after the songs ran their course some were hardly played again, if at all. Finally when I started working I was able to buy records.

Imaging discovering this track in 1987 as a 10 year old. I discovered this and snapped the tape due to the amount of times I played, rewound, played, rewound….. This was the start of a music passion that’s alive and kicking.
I remember hearing this song in 1988 as I entered a tv and stereo hifi shop. I had never heard anything like this before. It felt like stepping into the future. And here we are now.
If you think about music after the mid-80s as a whole scale, back in then, this was really an exceptional song, and the real trendsetter. Without this, the music of the 90s might have sounded very different.
I remember seeing this clip on MTV, when it still was a music channel, instead of a slop reality dump like it is today. It was also turned in the local disco (that's what we called nightclubs back then) at a very good volume and bass sounds. Loved it! Still do.
This got to no 1 in the UK when me and my husband were on honeymoon in Corfu, Sept 1987. Lost my love 3 weeks ago, but this was one of our best tunes 🥰
It was the banger of bangers in its time. I know every click and pop and weird interlude somehow. Suspect I still have the vinyl single tucked away somewhere. I even make weird mouth shapes at the end to match the wowee wow war sounds and I like doing it still. Sue me.
@Pop-Actor This was new sounds when it came out in 87. And it holds up pretty good compared to the crap that's released and get popular these days. You have to go deep underground to find good electronic music.
@Pop-Actor You kinda misread me. I said todays POP music is crap, not all music. Huge difference. A lot of great stuff being made the last 10 years, incl. some of the best "80's" music.
@@jmp01a24 Goa/psy scene saves the face of electronic genre. And of course The Prodigy. But that's not pure electronic anymore. It's more kinda electro-punk-metal. A class of it's own.
I was in my last year at High School and remember the first time we all heard it. Next day at school everyone was talking about it. "What the hell WAS that ??"
In a Venn Diagram of my love for science fiction, space exploration, and house music this video would sit at the exact geometrical center of their intersection.
Herbert Miller much respect to those on both sides of the Iron Curtain who flew in space with early 60s technology.That took balls of steel. I believe they communicated with Earth using vacuum tube radios..
Im still listening to this song in 2023, and I'm not ashamed to admit it! I love the way it makes me feel, and it always brings back good memories. I'm glad that there are other people out there who still appreciate good music, even if it's from a different generation.

Same here! August 2023, and this song hits as hard as when it first came out - and just like any of the other acts from the 80s, they have their own sound - no one else sounds like them, which just made the song even more memorable. Here's to the 80s - quite possibly the greatest decade of music we're likely to encounter, especially at our age!
Definately...was the best of its time along with house nation , we call it acieeed, acid man, Technotronics hit list , de-lites groove is in the heart, jack the groove/ in the house (any one of the jacks/in lol).. feel like I've missed one off here...will edit if it comes to me. I do know boops was another good one of mention and to the drummer get wicked and of course the deep heat collections were influencial in the scene In UK.
This song changed my life! 🙌 I moved to LA as a kid & this song had just come out on the radio- only pirate stations were playing it but got lots of air play. It was so different than anything I'd ever heard- immediately hooked. A few years later I was going out to the best afterhours in the city way before they should have let me in 😂
Alllllah oooo weeeeeee aahaaaaa eeeeunnnngh zeeee waaaayy eeeeeeeeee iiiiiiiii oooooo a ei ou 'Ol Mac Donald had a farm e i e O! Or something like that 😂

My brother introduced the family to this song. He had the 33, played it on Mom's record player. It was one of those rainy summer days when we'd play her collection of Led Zeppelin, Credence and Croce.
For those who don’t know, the group behind this classic is a combination of members from Colourbox, an influential 80s EDM group, as well as A.R. Kane, an experimental rock act who pioneered dream pop/shoegaze. Both groups are amazing and I highly suggest checking them out if you haven’t already!!!

65 years around the sun and I have heard 3 wonderful lengths of this piece of history. 2 of these have different lyrics in the chorus... the longest has both of the 2 different chorus lines. Love all of them and thanks to everyone who makes them available.
I really didn’t know anything about dance clubs or house music living in a small Canadian town in 1987, but I remember this video getting lots of airplay on TV and it was unlike any music that had made it on to the singles charts before. Genuinely a breakthrough moment.
I was a child who loved all things about space when I saw this video and it blew my mind right away! Now I'm an aging metalhead who doesn't have a particular interest in electronic music, yet I still listen to this masterpiece with great joy.
There is no limitation on your enjoyment of art. You can love van dykes paintings and also Renoir. I say, you have great taste in music. This song is very important. It heralded house music, trance music, electronica.
I was a teenager in the '80s and they used to play this at the skating rink and it was AMAZING to see everyone get hyped up and fill the rink when this song came! on.
Went through the same kind of thing at Maskells Roller skating area in Newport South Wales. Was amazing days along with the Cookie crew and many other early dance acts.
Oh good gravy...I danced like no other when this classic dance song came out, and I still dance to this classic dance song...my nieces and nephews laughs at me 😊
Way back when, when personal computers were a relatively new thing, people did demos that showed off the graphic and sound capability of your computer. The best demo for the Atari used Pump Up the Jam for the music. I watched it a lot. ;)
Seriously. The video makes the song for me. I was 8 when I first saw this. When the part hit with Voyager roaming past Saturn, and the Moog synth is already playing, it Blew My Mind.
My God, when the BIG speakers came out in the mid80s, this was thumping. The whole block felt that bassline....2022 here, stopped by for a flashback....put the needle on the record....
I was just 15 when this was in the UK charts and remember thinking that it just made every other dance track at the time seem out of date. In my mind, this was a piece of utter genius. Still totally love now and this is the original version with the Road Block sample in it.
+Lewis72 A lot of those late 80s immediate-post-Jack-Your-Body house records sound a bit "of their time" today, but this still sounds fresh 28 years later.
M.A.R.S. Pump up the Volume. - Haven’t heard this for a long time but it hasn’t lost any of its beat still feels funky even now. Strangely a great song. Great memories.
@James Hodson You are certainly not enjoying it when you think about grammar rules mate, everyone can understand what I mean by that, just get a life...
I remember when this song came out. It was pretty damn rad, still is. When it comes on the radio, it NEVER gets changed. “put the needle on the record” When the DJs played it at the clubs, the dance floors and dancing platforms would fill up. Nothing like the 80s *sigh*
It's a shame this classic wasnt created yet at the time they put then gold LP records on Voyager. Can imagine some alien species "putting the needle on the record" and thinking "damn, we might be able to travel through wormholes, but these earth beings surpass us just by this beat"!
The spaceships Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 since then ( 1987) went out of the solar system. I remember the first photos from planet Uranus at the end of 1985. Photos of Uranus appear in this video.

When I was an '80s kid in the '80s, this was one of my all-time favorite music videos of all time (along with Herbie Hancock's 'Rockit'). It got me in the mood to watch Nova and Newton's Apple. That was back when Newton's Apple used a portion of Kraftwerk's 'Ruckzuck' in their intro.
KSR if you mean this tune is the one that singlehanded started the modern dance and techno genre away from the 1970s era Disco era you are probably right.
1976 opening chords of Pretty Vacant. 1981 opening chords of Are Friends Electric. 1991 Opening chords of 'Smells like Teen Spirit. All audio moments that altered my life's direction. 1987 Hearing this and knowing that everything will be different from now on. Buried in the deep primordial sludge pit of modén dance music there is this. The grandaddy of it all, without which we would all be thinking Drake was cool
ROFL! You’re OLD? Our music was the 60s/70s (and way better btw). And I am not old yet! Don’t plan to get that way for a long time. You’re only old if you think you are, kiddies.

This was awesome in 1987 and is still so in 2024. Thanks for posting.
I was a teenager in the '80s and they used to play this at the skating rink and it was AMAZING to see everyone get hyped up and fill the rink when this song came! on.
Hi. Greetings from New York. How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there. Where are you watching from?
Went through the same kind of thing at Maskells Roller skating area in Newport South Wales. Was amazing days along with the Cookie crew and many other early dance acts.
I still love this, the sound effects are unbelievable
unbelievable.I was thinking too.
1987: Great song!
2023: Love this!
2087: Play it again!
2024!

I don't know why this song is the BOMB, but it is!!!!
In the 80´s i recorded this in a cassette from a Radio!!! great memories, cool drums
Oh good gravy...I danced like no other when this classic dance song came out, and I still dance to this classic dance song...my nieces and nephews laughs at me 😊
Great to clean house to....takes longer cause you gotta dance while you clean!!! haha
This tune still slaps till this day and always will 🤌🏼🥰2022
Brings back going to the roller skating rink and this would come on and everyone went twice as fast. Great times back then.
Who still pumpin in 2020!

Sure I still have it on my playlist.
I've been listening to this since the 80s ..
Bitcoin 🙌😎
IAM still pumping up the volume
This has got to be one of the most important pieces of music ever.
for sure... xD 😎
I like all kinds of music. This one I like dancing along with.😁👣
😁
Did this break before or after Eric B & Rakim?
Absolutely top 100.
Way back when, when personal computers were a relatively new thing, people did demos that showed off the graphic and sound capability of your computer. The best demo for the Atari used Pump Up the Jam for the music. I watched it a lot. ;)
Of course the home computer graphics that are actually in this video are from a BBC computer...2:26 - they're playing Elite in the background
Another immortal banger! Putted hundred times in my dj sets❤❤❤ that bass line kicks!
I was 15 years old in 1987. It is such a magical sounding song.
The video is pretty good too.
The centrifugalforce machine looks cool.
i was 14....
I'm French and I was 13 at 1987 and still listening it 2019 Love from Normandy ❤
J'avais 20 ans man !
moi j'en avais 15 et ce fut une révélation !!! Now 48 very soon.... Cheers from Montpellier
17 ans .... sans expiration
Was also 13 in 1987
Same! We are 50 now!!!
I was 14 when this came out. I loved dancing around my bedroom to this song. It was part of my dance mix cassette tape. I still dance around to it. 😁
did the same..
What’s a cassette? Lol I’m from 81

Tune from 1987 i still blast it very regularly as its a true timeless classic that still sounds fresh 34 years on!!!😎🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Probably the single greatest music video of all time.
Seriously. The video makes the song for me. I was 8 when I first saw this. When the part hit with Voyager roaming past Saturn, and the Moog synth is already playing, it Blew My Mind.
My God, when the BIG speakers came out in the mid80s, this was thumping. The whole block felt that bassline....2022 here, stopped by for a flashback....put the needle on the record....

P.VS LOL REGARDS DJ SMIDNIGHTCALLER
I Saw the video for this classic song on a on the bbc one hit wonders on BBC 2 on Saturday evening very nice to see the classic video for this song
Those two parts with the drums get me everytime
Pumping up the volume. Outta this world. Thanks for the fab music and video!
I was just 15 when this was in the UK charts and remember thinking that it just made every other dance track at the time seem out of date.
In my mind, this was a piece of utter genius.
Still totally love now and this is the original version with the Road Block sample in it.
Lewis72 I agree with you totally ! am just about to post it to my FB page ..
Lewis72 Way ahead of its time.
I'm still friends with the girl I was going out with when this track was out in '87. We still sing along to the samples !!
+Lewis72 A lot of those late 80s immediate-post-Jack-Your-Body house records sound a bit "of their time" today, but this still sounds fresh 28 years later.
Lewis72 I remember them performing it on the short lived itv top of the pops rival the roxy. It seemed very other worldly
I'm listening my brothers and sisters and I'm loving it with my first cup of coffee to get my day off on the right foot. Awesome song and artists 😊
A masterpiece. One of my two alarm clock songs that wake me up in the morning. The other one is Funkytown by Lipps Inc.
M.A.R.S. Pump up the Volume. - Haven’t heard this for a long time but it hasn’t lost any of its beat
still feels funky even now. Strangely a great song. Great memories.
absolute gem. i am still in awe every time i hear it.
Such a cool video too. Retro cosmonaut chic!
This track has changed the course of our lives just like the music industry.
@James Hodson You are certainly not enjoying it when you think about grammar rules mate, everyone can understand what I mean by that, just get a life...
@@The_Common_Potato lool
Today's and tomorrow's youth will never be able to experience the golden years of music.
I remember when this song came out. It was pretty damn rad, still is.
When it comes on the radio, it NEVER gets changed.
“put the needle on the record”
When the DJs played it at the clubs, the dance floors and dancing platforms would fill up.
Nothing like the 80s
*sigh*
Only the 90s were that x25 in terms of electronic scene. Late 80s electronics is just the 90s beginnings.
It's a shame this classic wasnt created yet at the time they put then gold LP records on Voyager. Can imagine some alien species "putting the needle on the record" and thinking "damn, we might be able to travel through wormholes, but these earth beings surpass us just by this beat"!
The spaceships Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 since then ( 1987) went out of the solar system. I remember the first photos from planet Uranus at the end of 1985. Photos of Uranus appear in this video.

This song stole the bass line from Delilah by Newsky Prospekt
Bravo extra...nous sommes très heureux d'avoir pu faire connaissance ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
32 years jesus where does time go still sounds good to me 55 now listening with headphones on lol old timer remembering his 20s haha
I refuse to be as old as my body feels and determined to feel as young as my brain still thinks it is!
@ pppP#@
52 here. still listening. :)
52 and still Jammin. We were the lucky ones. San Fran in my early ,20's. Palladium, Holy Cow, south market.dirty as hell like my home town, 4#nd street. Where did the time go?????????
@ Pappa
who still rocking with this classic in 2025?🔥
When I was an '80s kid in the '80s, this was one of my all-time favorite music videos of all time (along with Herbie Hancock's 'Rockit'). It got me in the mood to watch Nova and Newton's Apple. That was back when Newton's Apple used a portion of Kraftwerk's 'Ruckzuck' in their intro.
What a tune! Cracking club hit from the late 80’s, we were all rocking to this one at the time! Dance floor classic.
Arguably the single most influential tune of the Dance Genre…: timeless masterpiece ❤
KSR if you mean this tune is the one that singlehanded started the modern dance and techno genre away from the 1970s era Disco era you are probably right.
1976 opening chords of Pretty Vacant.
1981 opening chords of Are Friends Electric.
1991 Opening chords of 'Smells like Teen Spirit.
All audio moments that altered my life's direction.
1987 Hearing this and knowing that everything will be different from now on.
Buried in the deep primordial sludge pit of modén dance music there is this.
The grandaddy of it all, without which we would all be thinking Drake was cool
When I finally meet my one true love, I will say one very special thing to her:
PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE RECORD.
Who is still Pumping up the Volume in 2019?? Never gets old!
check it out!
Check ir Out Rockaway Beach!Bach Boys at Sea Guard...

Feel like dancer
Here!!!
Man,this brings back some memories.😁👊🏾
Great tune, grew up loving this. RIP Steven Young.
I love it!! Great dancing music. I wish I could back in time to the 70's and 80's when everyone love to dance and have a great time. 👍 🙌
I wish we could of got stuck in the 80's i hate getting old
I miss my mix tapes and my giant boom box. I remember being up all night with my finger on the record pause button waiting for the perfect song. 😢
I feel ya, old as hell and feeling it but i got this music to keep my heart young and my memories fresh...👍
@@ironballsmcginty1009 Fun times.
Mustang shelby 80s or 90s will do. xxx
ROFL! You’re OLD? Our music was the 60s/70s (and way better btw). And I am not old yet! Don’t plan to get that way for a long time. You’re only old if you think you are, kiddies.
I was 8 years old when this song came out I fell in love with techno and electronic music ever since
Yuri Gagarin . El primer 👏👏👏💪
