Some guys have all the luck - like Robert Palmer, a guy so packed full of 'it', he just had to hang around on camera doing whatever and still looked awesome :-)
@@thewomble1509 thanks for the heads up. Smoking is bad. I used to get after mom for smoking when I was younger. But she won't stop. I don't guess it would have done me any good to do that to Robert Palmer if he were living.
When such a brilliant singer is born in a small place like Batley, I don't ever wonder why the UK is so remarkable. Nay...!!! Brilliant, Stands Alone. Thanks, Robert.
It still saddens me. He wasn't even 56 when he died. I still listen to his music once in a while. I have both CDs from the Addictions collection, which has a lot of his greatest songs. Interestingly, he hated naming CDs "The best of..." He would put what he felt fans would love the most and just named it "Addictions."
He looked ill in his last interview which I think was on a local Yorkshire television channel. There is a spooky symmetry to that given he was from the area and the fact that the video to You Blew Me Away was filmed in a hotel room- he died in a hotel in Paris. I may be reading too much into it but so many things seem to be connected if, like me, you do not believe in co-incidence. Above all, he left a great legacy of music and was a truly talented artist who took his music seriously from what I have read. Are We Still Rolling? by Phil Browne who worked with him and others, notably Murray Head and Talk Talk, is very praiseworthy of Robert Palmer.
The best version of this song, the best vocals and the best video. Everything about it screams originality and class, such a beautiful man alright, ALRIGHT!
Thank you for your wonderful timeless music, brilliant, your vocal range is just superb fantastic, such a talented true gentleman, always in a suit, gorgeous God Bless Robert Allen Palmer Fabulous Singer, Song Writer, Producer and a Proud Yorkshire man R.I.P always beautiful xxxx ❤🎵🎙️🎶 ❤
Robert Palmer was one sexy handsome man with an incredibly sexy range voice. I loved his early stuff when I was a kid. All my xmas' came at once with the power station 🤣
Robert Palmer's sleevenotes from the 1989 compilation "Addictions vol. 1" - "I was working with Moon Martin when I wrote Some Guys. I played it to him and then a few days later he came in and said he;d just heard someone singing it in the studio across the road, which seemed impossible since I hadn't finished it yet myself! What happened was that I must have heard it subliminally, I think it was on Australian radio, and just hadn't realised. A further coincidence was that Jack Nuber, who mixed the song, had produced it for an 18-year-old Jamaican kid called Junior Tucker. In the end the only thing I rememberer was the title line. The rest is very different from the many versions that were subsequently recorded." Incidentally, the writing credit goes to J.Fortang.
Some guys have all the luck Some guys have all the fun Some guys have all the luck, all the luck What you gonna do when your luck begins to run Such a lucky dog it's good luck - push it I get turned on by everything you do to me Don't say you shouldn't do that Push your hard luck hard push it Oh, to take a kiss from lady luck tonight Oh yeah I want to so much Ooh the way it feels when you find out there's a pearl in it Girl the way it feels when you get it Some guys have all the luck Some guys get all the fun I get to hear you talk, see you walk Ooh take me in your arms and let your luck begin to run I touch you - alright I thought my luck had held until you fingered me We make a right impression when you hold me tight Wait for a break, my lucky charm Things are looking up alright - alright Oh - to taste the lips of lady luck tonight Oh yeah - I want to - so much Ooh the way it feels when you find out there's a pearl in it Girl the way you squeal when you get it Some guys have all the luck Some guys get all the breaks I get to roll my dice - ain't it nice Ooh take me in your kitchen and we'll play for higher stakes Some guys have all the luck Some guys get all the fun I get to hear you talk, see you walk Ooh take me in your arms and let your luck begin to run
This was one of my all time favorite songs growing up in the 1980's, Robert Palmer had really great vocal lyrics and this is one of his finest songs ever made. Definitely much better than the Rod Stewart cover this was the original and still the best.
It's not technically a cover. He thought he'd written an original song, but the title is sung in the same way as the song of the same name by The Persuaders, which Palmer must have heard but had no memory of. It was spotted just before release and marketed as a cover, but apart from the start of the chorus it's an entirely different song
@@DJDanceClassic get your facts straight: aside from the title it is not remotely a cover, it's utterly different. Just compare it with the Rod Stewart version which is a direct cover, they're lyrically two totally different songs
Rod Stewart made this song have some sense about it. It would have been a ABSOLUTELY TRAVERSTY and LUDICROUS to let such a great sound have just this version. Rod put some tasty meat and bone lyrics to the original music. I like Robert's version. However I LOVE Rod's version. I will ALWAYS remember Robert's incredible generosity in giving a BRILLIANT, FANTASTIC and OUTSTANDING song to Rod Stewart which of course could have been a MASSIVE hit record for himself. It was written by Climmie Fisher(who also wrote the CLASSIC 80's song "Love Changes Everything") and Robert adviced Rod to record it . So Rod did and gave a grateful thank you note on the sleeve of the album it was recorded on to Robert. The Rod Stewart album is called "Out Of Order" and the track is called " When The One You Love(Is In Love With Someone Else.) And the song really is SOMETHING ELSE. BTW In my own humble opinion Robert Palmer's two best songs are "Didn't Mean To Turn You On" and "Change His Ways."
2020 and still sounds Good ❤️ Rest In peace Robert Palmer!! 40 years since Johnny & Mary so we dedicated this to Robert 🎶 👉 ruclips.net/video/88xxT4M2gKg/видео.html
Some guys have all the luck. I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs and every night I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
In comparison to Palmer's version Rod's interpretation is merely a lame pop song. In particular, I like the craziness over-the-top quality in Robert's voice, e.g. in the second "alright" at 1:49. He excelled at bringing intensity to this song. Splendid!

Robert died way too young and soon. Such originality, I still to this day cannot get over the sound he makes with his voice.
I miss him
only the good die young

Rip ❤robert

It was criminal that Robert died so young. Still his music will live on and is timeless
I agree. I miss him.
@@JSharpe427 Sadly, he brought it on himself. He repeatedly ignored Dr's warnings to stop smoking because of the damage it had done to his heart.

@@danilomacalino9889 he good but not the original persuade the group record it 1974 than rod stewart 1984
@@michaeledward1775 not exactly, this song has the same title as the song by The Persuaders but lyrically it is completely different
Its the best and original version by a million miles.

One of the best songs ever - it's up there with Bohemian Rhapsody.
Sneakin' Sally...... (Better....sorry)
Oh it's up there!! Serious track
Robert Palmer was one sexy handsome man with an incredibly sexy range voice. I loved his early stuff when I was a kid. All my xmas' came at once with the power station 🤣
Sexy handsome man? He was sex on legs & all the rest of it for me & still is❤
He was born 10 miles from where I live. So proud. Great late rob.
This is a tripped out video
I didn’t hear this until around 2022; now it might actually be my favorite song.
Who is still listening to this in 2024
He was 100% musician.
Oow the way it feels when you find out there's a pearl in it, girl the way it feels when you get it! yeah, just makes me smile every time! 😉

Dear ColinMiles97,
Cheers for typing all that out for those of us who don't own a hard copy of that album 👍🍻
I can’t help but feel that in this video Robert Palmer is portraying the devil. Awesome tune from my childhood!!
Yep satanism in high places
We miss you Robert Palmer.
Yes we sure do :'(
Years and years ahead of its time, this.
Love his music ❤ i grew up in batley, he made us proud did lad.

@@djalland1 well said, it has one identical lyric (the title) and that's it, not remotely a cover of the song that this idiot is talking about
I thought Bonnie Tyler's video for Total Eclipse took the biscuit for craziest 80's video, but this is on another planet.
Just about to realise it now😅❤
I remember seeing this video back in 1982. I especially noticed the influence of Magritte on various things.
Rod Stewart made this song have some sense about it.
It would have been a ABSOLUTELY TRAVERSTY and LUDICROUS to let such a great sound have just this version.

Genius
I never listened this version it's very good.It sound awesome. Robert Palmer best song ever for me is simply irresistible. I love it.
Hola guapa que tal?

Robert Palmer was such a cutie x
King of cool. 😎

XO. Take care Sir.
I would love to hear The Darkness cover this!
Wow, thanks for the upload! Been looking for the original clip for bloody years! :-)
Spirit cooking video!
Just added this to my gym playlist
Mizika moje mladosti
yep!...the yorkshire dude.
Forever, my best singer
Mine too but only up to Addicted To Love. That's when he started to change direction. For the worse in my opinion.
Ohhhh!!! You old smoothie!!!
Fantastic...such a great performer.
He and my mom both passed away in 2003. They both died at a young age.
Великий Роберт.. А песню прославил Род.
Take care Sir.
Great artist, great song. And this video is so 80's that it makes Patrick Bateman jizz from beyond the grave.
He put the cool in Yorkshire
If all guys had luck, take a guess what the world would be like!!! Be careful with your thoughts, readers!!!
Some guys have all the luck. I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs and every night I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
Sponge Bob hahahaha
Your 1 hell of a cool dude.
This was before Rod Stewart. However, the original recording was by The Persuaders, a '70's soul group
1:51 Looks a lot like David Bowie
I agree then at 1.57 he looks like Gary Numan
Awesome XO
Bizarre 80s art direction
XO
you could do me...don't say its surely do that...push it hard...harder...push it.
This is on my Vinyl from "1982 Hitparade". Loved it, kind of sounds better on the record player.
great
Love this track, but what about that sound like an alarm clock going off every now & then ... 😳
In comparison to Palmer's version Rod's interpretation is merely a lame pop song. In particular, I like the craziness over-the-top quality in Robert's voice, e.g. in the second "alright" at 1:49. He excelled at bringing intensity to this song. Splendid!
Some guys......
What episode of Twin Peaks is this?
Lmfao
Illuminati party overtones here. What did Robert know?
I agree although I can't stop watching it
How has this got so little views love this song
Better than Rod Stewart version
😃🎶🌿
Did this guy ever make a bad record? I just can't think of any song I don't like of Robert's
He was great!
I always thought, that it sounded extremely stupid. I love it
One of my😅 favourite
All these years I thought this was by Oingo Boingo.
Show...adoro !!!
XO
Wow. The lyrics are quite different from the version I know. R. Stewarts version. I knever knew this existed
Real breaking Bad !!
Robert looked so much like Michael J Fox back then
