I am 63 now. The eighties was fantastic and this song reminds me of that time. I have a great stereo equipment now. I have this record somewhere. I have to listen to it again.
Brilliant, im a young 23 year old and ripping up the town!!!, now 54 years old n sitting blasting this out remembering all the good times i had...Happy Days
One of the most iconic sounds of the Eighties...Typically lively, upbeat music with a great melody, a fantastic sax solo and a banging bassline to boot! [ (sigh) I want those days back. ]
The Blow Monkeys made some of the best 80s videos. Costumes, loose storylines, slow fades, cut away arty shots? Yes, please! (And great songs too, obviously!)
I seem to find myself saying that about all of the 8 million bands I loved in the 80's! So many great bands, no many didn't get the recognition deserved.
I saw them before they went all corporate funk sounding. I thought they were a great post punk band. I think whoever wrote the songs in this style was a good songwriter but I just can't be doing with this degree of blue-eyed funkiness.
When I first heard this fabulously fabulousness in 1987 I never thought… filled with hopes and dreams - some came true 👍🏻 I never ever thought your beautiful songwriting/song would continue to resonate with everyone all over the world, as your song continues to address universal themes of Love, Hope, Freedom, Happy times together a wonderful peaceful happy future, it’s down to each and every one of us. ❤x❤xx❤x❤ Thank you Dr Robert, Robert Howard, Thank you Neville Henry, Thank you, Mick Anker, Thank you Tony Kiley, Thank you Crispin Taylor I’ll always love your music 🎶 🎙️ 🎸 🎷 🥁 🎵 💃🏻 🕺🏻
The "second British invasion" was great for the decade, British bands poured out of garages,cities, clubs, art school bringing back soul, Motown, r&b and introducing reggae, ska, dub, Irish and Scottish influences, mixing it up with synthpop, new wave, postpunk, pop, attitude, cool, accents, style helping make the 80's the most musically widely varied decade. Thanks guys!
Saw them play this at Wembley Stadium supporting Rod Stewart in 1985. Dr Robert inserted a lyric criticising Rod for playing Sun City in then apartheid South Africa. Legend.
Esta canción nunca te cansará.Es una obra de arte.Une una guitarra superfunky, con un supersaxo, una voz supersexy, unos coristas negras y unos arreglos con violines de lujo. Simplemente genial, sencillamente perfecta. Enhorabuena por siempre. YA NO SE HACEN TEMAS ASÍ, una pena.
This is STILL one of the most beautiful tunes every written and that vocal just melts my heart......love. And that perfectly soulful acoustic arrangement aaahhhh
WOW! 1987. I was 17. I went to, "The Apartments," in Dublin, where you just stood around looking awkward, until the slow-set came on, when you risked _utter mortfication_ going-up to a girl and asking her whether she wants a dance- But sometimes - just sometimes - she said yes. And it was the most astonishing feeling in life ...
Imagine, this song being number 2. During the summer holidays. Constantly on repeat on the radio. And your grounded....indefinitely Those lyrics speak volumes.
Formed 1981 this was their prime 1986 broke up when the 90s started and 80s unlucky somehow finished want them back Dr Robert slick guy tight band beats nearly anything and everything now in the last 30years
The execution of the video and the music arrangement, the intro, the bridge are just immaculate. It's stylish, sarcastic, politically correct and of course, incorrect. Sheer brilliance.
UrZ Fight4URight , acid attacks, stabbings everyday in London, atm card fraud, Islamic extremists attacks, scotter robberies ,London in 2018 is terrible, I would take the 80s anyday
1987, 22 years old just discharged from the army, Dr. Robert was singing, beautifull ladies were dancing around us and pure "cuttie"s on ice 're coming again and again. Those were the days....
Una de las mas destacadas interpretaciónes de todo el pop de los 80", sin duda es este tema,melódico y glamoroso,el Dr. Robert y compañía, con lo mejor del pop sofisticado en su mas fresa expresión...
Don’t be sad this era has gone . It won’t be long before younger musicians and young people will rediscover it and recreate it in a retro way 👍 This is the way ♥️
I still remember the long summer nights on the beach on those years at the end of the '80... this song was a real must!!! so sad, believe me, so sad for the nowadays generations, forced to be hurted by something called music but music's not... what a shame!
I must have been about 9 or 10the first time I saw this video. I was smitten with the guy who stood there in his night gown and enormous fringe singing.
I can't geht this song out oft my Head for about 5 Days now. It's rolling in heavy Rotation on RUclips. It causes so much happy feelings. Loved it in the 80's and still do.
2023 its 36 years later and the prescription from the Doctor is the same - consume these classy catchy tunes at least once daily for the rest of your life and you will feel much better.
I was out at Banchory yesterday with my little nephew of 4 years old at the fun fair on a lovely sunny day & this was playing at the arcades. Good times indeed

2024 - and this tune took me back to my teenage years …nice❤
Me too...I was a teenager too.
Even all these years later, whenever I hear certain tunes from the 80s it transports me right back to those days!
57 years old and I feel like I was when I was 20 when this was out. Still sounds great.
great stil uk music
Here ~ You're showing my age !!!!
Such a cool tune then.
Such a cool tune now ...!
Timeless.
Huh? 1987 - 20 = 1967 so that would make you 53 in 2020.
56 here.....Me too! Good memories.....
I am 63 now.
The eighties was fantastic and this song reminds me of that time.
I have a great stereo equipment now.
I have this record somewhere. I have to listen to it again.
I’m 62, the 80’s seemed so much happier…I’ve got this in the loft somewhere!
59 and you are bang on point
A dozen times you have to ❤
Brilliant, im a young 23 year old and ripping up the town!!!, now 54 years old n sitting blasting this out remembering all the good times i had...Happy Days
yeah buddy...
I'm a little older but doing the same😎
I with you my friend...happy days!!!
I m italian. Excuse me but what does it mean ripping up ?
Andrew Bluebells really true. I know this and felt the same👍👍👍
That saxophone solo is the best moment of the 80s🤩
This track never gets old. Absolute classic.
That's what you call soul
レコード回して何百回も聴きました。ほんと好き。
Gracias 80s por dejarme pertenecer a la mejor década de la música. Saludos desde Argentina.

@Louis Susan Barrett Its a good song. Enjoy.
@Louis Susan Barrett i
thanx
@Louis Susan Barrett It’s about thatcher! Great Ilusion!
Very serious message
Im only 11 and I think this is amaxing .my dad introduced me to the 80s and its my favourite eara to listern to
Nice one. It IS the best decade for a fabulous array of different styles. Keep listening; you'll be glad you did.
Cool dad 👍
Well done to your dad, im 58, good tunes back in that era , respect to daddy from the UK.😎😎😎
Watching Police Academy (3 or 4) at the age of 6, thinking this track is great! Instant love! Great example of 80s musical talent
It was impossible to sit still in the 80s at the disco listening to this song. Amazing bass line, percussion and sax solo.
Kid in the 70's...teenager in the 80's....brilliant memories of music and having great laughs!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow I haven't heard this for years❤80s best decade❤
The Blow Monkeys made some of the best 80s videos. Costumes, loose storylines, slow fades, cut away arty shots? Yes, please! (And great songs too, obviously!)
It’s funny when you lived in the 80s you never knew just how great it really was .
Probably one of the most underrated bands of the 80's.
Blow Monkeys, say no more!
I seem to find myself saying that about all of the 8 million bands I loved in the 80's! So many great bands, no many didn't get the recognition deserved.

Calm down son.... they wur bog standard.
Correct!

Thank you Dr Robert, Robert Howard, Thank you Neville Henry, Thank you, Mick Anker, Thank you Tony Kiley, Thank you Crispin Taylor
I’ll always love your music 🎶 🎙️ 🎸 🎷 🥁 🎵 💃🏻 🕺🏻
The UK produced the best 80's music..
And you can quote me on that
And 90's & the rest 👍 the US copying our rock music in the 70's too
So true!!
False, Germany produce the best 80s music. Modern Talking, Alphaville, Sandra, Arabesque, CC Catch and much more.
The "second British invasion" was great for the decade, British bands poured out of garages,cities, clubs, art school bringing back soul, Motown, r&b and introducing reggae, ska, dub, Irish and Scottish influences, mixing it up with synthpop, new wave, postpunk, pop, attitude, cool, accents, style helping make the 80's the most musically widely varied decade. Thanks guys!
@@yogiaol false Germany was big in the 90s with Eurodance . 80s was UK and USA
This is exactly 30 years old and I still love it! 80's music is unique!!
Prestigio Thunder
Yes Definitely
But of the same Genre as Curiosity killed the cat and Swing out Sister👍 new wave pop jaz .
Older 36 years old the year i was binned by my girlfriend at the time
36 😅
Very good band, saw them live 6 years ago and still find them as fresh as they did in the 80s 👍
You look to young to remember the 80s😎

Añares que no la escuchaba y como sonó en los '80s la long version.
Yo no veo ningun coristas negros?
Nadie es NEGRO.
@@rubenzamorano5194 vete al oculista
I like that funky guitar sound a similar sound is on another 80s song I can't wait by noo shoes
asi es ...
This is STILL one of the most beautiful tunes every written and that vocal just melts my heart......love. And that perfectly soulful acoustic arrangement aaahhhh
Dr Robert looking fine as usual and that sax, on my! I miss the 80,s 🥲
WOW!
1987. I was 17. I went to, "The Apartments," in Dublin, where you just stood around looking awkward, until the slow-set came on, when you risked _utter mortfication_ going-up to a girl and asking her whether she wants a dance- But sometimes - just sometimes - she said yes.

❤ EXACTLY your age ... And I'm one of those girls😂 I could have written this myself❤
Certain songs take me straight back to a better time, this is one of those songs.. The power of music.
That hairstyle. So popular in the 80's and I LOVED it. Still do!
It’s the year 2020 and we want our saxophone riffs back !!!!
Yeah I agree mate
I'll run it past Stormzy and Little Mix, but between you and me, I wouldn't hold your breath.
Sophisticated pop I believe !
Guau muy buena canción 80sables inigual
Imagine, this song being number 2.
During the summer holidays.
Constantly on repeat on the radio.
And your grounded....indefinitely
Those lyrics speak volumes.
Just love the sound of this song. 30 years later still one of my favourites..
Love The Blow Monkeys. I'm in my 60s but remember them from the early 1980s. Very nostalgic.
l knew there was a 80s band but didn't know they was from that long ago in the early 80s
Formed 1981 this was their prime 1986 broke up when the 90s started and 80s unlucky somehow finished want them back Dr Robert slick guy tight band beats nearly anything and everything now in the last 30years
Great song and video from the brilliant Blow Monkeys. Bring back the 80s ♥️.
it's funny when you lived in the 80s you never knew just how great it really was .
We was just kids lol best era for having fun music laughter we 80s kids had it good simple
@@tomcurley9342 I agree 100%
Exactly... U didn't... Until now..... Great memories..
Never a truer word said.....
@@tomcurley9342 you're absolutely spot on.
Che Bello è che Sballo a Ballare.... Che Ricordi..
Difficile a sentire nel 2023 questa Musica.. 💪💯🕺😘
Probably the best era in human history
Probably?
How I miss these kind of music, the 80s and the Style
It reminds me the new jack swing style. Typical style of those years.
The same 👍🏻
Yep. No class these days. Ps they are still going. Saw them supporting level 42 at the Albert Hall 3 years ago
An 80's classic go to for me. Whenever my hair gets too long it looks JUST like his and I end up listening to this track.
I'm 71 and still think it's great.
Loved dancing to it in sloppy Joe's derby.
Good on you
A time when music was music. Take me back to the 80s.
Saw them last week. Still brilliant. Did a great version of this and Digging Your Scene. Very underrated!
You are lucky
A few songs make me feel so alive like this one. I can't stop listening
I’ve never heard this song before and I’m already in love with it!! ✌️☺️
Stay in love with ok.
@@philjennings6725 I am, I’ve been playing this song on loop for a while. ✌️😙
I’m a 70s man myself with a sprinkling of the 80s and this was one of the better offerings from that era.
In a Porsche 924S on my way to pick up my future wife and this song blasting on the Alpine stereo...great times
I'm leaving this comment here so maybe after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I get reminded of this awesome song.
❤ here's your reminder that you have exceptional music taste❤
Remindeeer
Another reminder from Tipperary ❤
It doesn't have to be that way 😂
😂😂😂@@markco3923
I will love this song forever and ever and ever and ever.... fabulous 80'💖🎼
The 80s was the best decade of music outstanding stuff
62 years old and still enjoying this classic during lockdown.
Me too.
Me too
Young at heart
@Simon Barnett b4145 is not go away. it has a purpose. in 1y u will see
it is trained. not china. europa2
Yeah the 80s you never new what you had untill it's gone ....
Your so right 😢
Im now 49 yrs old too.. & still listning to this music 80's madness, timeless classic.. 👍👍👍🙂
The execution of the video and the music arrangement, the intro, the bridge are just immaculate. It's stylish, sarcastic, politically correct and of course, incorrect. Sheer brilliance.
The song was made in the 80s but could belong to the 90s even 00s. You should here an acoustic version of this.
No wonder I like it. Good comment.
Couldn't agree more, Peter. That's a well thought out, lucid and intelligent comment. I particarly like the funny hats they wear in it.
AGREED .. THE WHOLE COMPOSITION WORKS SO WELL
I must agree!
When music was MUSIC and not the BS of the 21st century.
I want to back in the 80's
Me too
The 80’s had lots id great bands like these awesome guys there was also Brian Ferry and Spandau Ballet and they were all so handsome !!!!
Awww I want to go back to the 80's when life was simpler and not so cruel.
Grass is always greener, I'm afraid.
?? Margaret Thatcher, Riots in Brighton , the Falkland War and and and...
It was simpler because U was young
things are far worse now......
UrZ Fight4URight , acid attacks, stabbings everyday in London, atm card fraud, Islamic extremists attacks, scotter robberies ,London in 2018 is terrible, I would take the 80s anyday
yeah...….in a time when we weren't SLAVES TO THOSE BEEP SMARTPHONES.
Great song, one of the best bands of the 80’s…..so underrated
The earth isn't aware yet what it has lost, the brilliance of this music is beyond the walls of our dimension.
AORCrazy You are right on point. 👍
Brilliant years
i agree with you.
This song still cheers me up a lot!!!😊❤
Me to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My brother and I used listen to this. Love it. Back in the day, what can I say, good times
Auténtica maravilla de cancion, y de grupo. recuerdos inolvidables
This is elegant music of 80's
Heard it on the radio and just searched like crazy for it while the tune was still on my mind. Its just got the right rhythm!
Hard not to like this, a real 80s middle of the road song. I was into the Smiths etc at the time but can appreciate this now.
MrPge1970 panic would been in the charts around the same time, loved the smiths but loved unashamedly loved a bit of feel good pop! xx
Someone mentioned 'Modern talking ' from Germany .Probably produced the worst music of that decade .
@@carolineweisskopf3338 Not probably -- definitely! Horrible stuff.
Caroline Weisskopf 😂yes !!
1987, 22 years old just discharged from the army, Dr. Robert was singing, beautifull ladies were dancing around us and pure "cuttie"s on ice 're coming again and again. Those were the days....
MASTERPIECE OF POP !!
Una de las mas destacadas interpretaciónes de todo el pop de los 80", sin duda es este tema,melódico y glamoroso,el Dr. Robert y compañía, con lo mejor del pop sofisticado en su mas fresa expresión...
Hermosa canción, por ella no pasan los años porque siempre que la escucho me suele salir una sonrisa 😉
Don’t be sad this era has gone . It won’t be long before younger musicians and young people will rediscover it and recreate it in a retro way 👍 This is the way ♥️
Even this song did not last long, still this is one of the unforgettable in my list!
Umm what ae you chatting about, Heard it on the radio last week
You talk a'lot of shit
Espectacular!!!, os he visto el lunes, 7 de marzo en Barcelona. gracias por regalarnos ese concierto.😀
Brilliant. Forgot how talented these 80's musicians were.
this is never history its always reminds me of summer bbq
2020. Still effortlessly classy.
Straight from the Golden Age of Pop.
I still remember the long summer nights on the beach on those years at the end of the '80... this song was a real must!!! so sad, believe me, so sad for the nowadays generations, forced to be hurted by something called music but music's not... what a shame!
Still a banger of a tune from the brilliant 80s.
How can we recreate this era ? Can’t we all just go to a place and just live happily 80s style ..... who’s coming with me ?
You recreate it by Just going on youtube to listen and relax!!!
Digging your scene xx
I'm coming please
Deborah Rees .....is there room for a 59, soon to be 60 year old......⚡️🌈💥
@@1960dave1960 that's my age too,,, cant believe where the time has gone,, what an era 😊😊
I must have been about 9 or 10the first time I saw this video. I was smitten with the guy who stood there in his night gown and enormous fringe singing.
Omg, wow i can't even begin to describe the feeling of finally finding this video wow after so si many years. Police academy brought me here
80's music = by default even the crap stuff is good and the good stuff is sooooo good.
Decent tune. Reminds me of London nights back in the day. This sounds so good even today quality stays👏
FANTASTIC , LOVED DR ROBERT.
That sax though from 2.40 to 2.56 that's take you to another level 🔥🔥🔥 a timeless classic still a go to.
OMG, i can't believe it youtube brought me to 2 of the best hits from them ❤
Best feel good vibe music ever...especially seeing them live ( 5 times) cant get enough obvs...🕺
One of the BEST tunes of the 80s. Hands down. So so good. Mike drop.
I can't geht this song out oft my Head for about 5 Days now. It's rolling in heavy Rotation on RUclips. It causes so much happy feelings. Loved it in the 80's and still do.
I'm 26 years old and I feel sad at the time I'm in, really in the 80s it made sense music and good taste
You can still enjoy it online though. I'm 24 and feel the same way about 80s music. Something about it is just so idealistic and bright sounding.
My god I forgot about this. Thanks for uploading. Just had a good ol belt out singing this song.
Not only is this a great song it features my first ever car Ford Fiesta MK2 XR2 trim! Music, car and memory bliss all at once!!!
Nice car the xr2.
2023 its 36 years later and the prescription from the Doctor is the same - consume these classy catchy tunes at least once daily for the rest of your life and you will feel much better.
Saw them last week supporting Level 42. Still excellent with original lineup.
I was 17 & loving life, what a great era to be a teen.
Excellent and sublime music. Great and clean execution! Extraordinary🎶❤️
I was out at Banchory yesterday with my little nephew of 4 years old at the fun fair on a lovely sunny day & this was playing at the arcades. Good times indeed
jeevesish and here we are now stuck at home on lockdown. ☹️
Esta buena canción la compuso el cantante ROBERT HOWARD de la banda THE BLOW MONKEYS que la canto y la publico en el año 1987
This was my youth (born '82), love the tunes that littered the charts in the 80's. Mum played these in her Datsun Sunny on cassette :-)
I love this! I requested this song at the high school lunch time.
The "second British invasion" was great for the decade, British bands poured out of garages,cities, clubs, art school bringing back soul, Motown, r&b and introducing reggae, ska, dub, Irish and Scottish influences, mixing it up with synthpop, new wave, postpunk, pop, attitude, cool, accents, style helping make the 80's the most musically widely varied decade. Thanks guys!
