I miss this type of music in the mainstream. It's so much better than todays autotuned garbage.

Tawny was just inexcusably, irresponsibly gorgeous.

Will keep saying it, you can't beat 80's music. Best decade

Class of '87 and song was 'Never Say Goodbye' by Bon Jovi, one of the most perfect senior songs ever.

Now we’re talking. David Coverdale has the voice and he’s intelligent to boot. Good combo.

How i missed those 80's years. My childhood when tv's and rock bands were amazing and unforgettable.

Here I Go Again Crying in the Rain Still of the Night Is this Love All Your Live Tonight Great Album

The woman dancing over the cars is Tawny Kitean who was married to the lead singer from the band for a couple of years before they got divorced. She died a few years back from a lifetime of drug use. This was a huge song when I was in school.

My senior song was Styx "The Best of Times." Good stuff!

R.I.P. Tawny Kitaen A true Rock video Goddess

80s music will always be the best decade in music in any genre.

Whitesnake leader David Coverdale wrote the lyric in Portugal. While it's typically thought of as an inspiring song about facing your challenges head-on, it's really a song about heartbreak and the loneliness that comes with it. The song documents the breakdown of Coverdale's first marriage to Julia Borkowski, with whom he tied the knot in 1974. In 1987, "Here I Go Again" was a #1 hit in America, all over the airwaves and MTV, but the song was written in 1981 and first released in 1982 when Whitesnake was a very different band. David Coverdale formed Whitesnake after leaving Deep Purple. He was well known in the UK, so Whitesnake had a built-in fanbase there, but cracking America was a lot harder. They made inroads in the US with their 1984 album Slide It In, but it was the Whitesnake album in 1987 that took off. When they toured America to support it, they did so as opening act for Mötley Crüe. The video features very quick shots of the actress Tawny Kitaen dancing seductively on the hoods of two Jaguar cars. One belonged to Coverdale, the other to Marty Callner, who directed the video. It was a huge hit on MTV, and one of the first "tease" videos. Especially among hair bands, it became popular to show flashes of beautiful women throughout the video to keep the viewers (young boys) interested.

You were graduating high school and I was being honorably discharged from the military when this song came out. Great memories serving my country.

Class of 89. This song was an anthem to my generation. 🤘

I watched for Tawny Kitaen to be honest, lol

Class ‘88 here. Our song was That’s what friends are for. We had a whole thing planned for right after everyone had walked and it started pouring 3/4 of the way through the ceremony.

Is This Love by Whitesnake! 😎🔥🤘🎸

'87 here. Ours was Billy Joel's This is the time. Couldn't figure out why because it wasn't even on the radio anywhere near us, but after a year or two, it finally got airplay. Then I realized it was pretty appropriate.

Class of '88, senior song was Foreplay/Longtime by Boston.

I graduated high school in 1990 and our class song was "I remember you" by Skid Row. Still love the song to this day! I know the song " 5 more minutes" by Scotty McCreary that was Alexis's class song. That is a great song! Scotty McCreary wrote that song after his grandfather passed away.

I don’t remember what our school song was back in ‘87, but the song my friends and I chose was Rush “Fly By Night”.

David Coverdale was not only a founding member and lead singer of Whitesnake but was also the lead singer for Deep Purpler from 83 to 73 to 76 just a little FYI

My senior song in 1987 was Never Say Goodbye by Bon Jovi. Every time I hear that song to this day it reminds me of all my friends and the good times we had.

Del Rio, TX High School Class of 88 - This was also our class song. 0:32

This song was released originally on a older white snake album with a more blues sound. He decided to redo it here on it went huge. Thank you for sharing.

Nothing like 80s metal and hard rock. Tawny was beautiful.

A whole new world was my senior song in 1993.

Fellow class of 88! This song was totally all over senior year!

1986 our song was More Than a Feeling by Boston

Oh, the memories. Majority rules....a great class song. Go Dogs!

Skid Row I Remember You was our class song. Denmark High School Class of ‘91.

Our senior song was "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. Still one of my favorites

I love watching Burch trying to restrain himself by nodding his head and trying not to sing along with the songs! 😂 It always reminds me of the scene in Waynes World where Wayne was in the TV studio and kept nodding his head with the countdown to live TV. If you know it, you’ll know it!!

Aww being a teenager of the 80s. My favorite is actually Still of the NIght. As for this song, I remember boys are our school. One was a bass player, he loved Whitesnake (and Tawny helped lol) The other was a guitarist he loved Def Leppard. The radio version has Heart's Mark Andes and Denny Carmassi on it. As for Tawny. Robin Crosby's girl, she was on the cover of Out of the Cellar. She was a gymnast. Love her back then, She was also an actress. Bachelor Party, Witchboard, etc., RIP.

My senior song was the theme from the TV show "Fame". I rolled my eyes *so* hard, and still do.

I graduated in 1985. Ours was "We Are The World". We sang it at graduation.

Class of '95. Our senior song was Small Town by John Mellencamp.

REAL ROCK N ROLL BABY! 🤘🎸🎵

Class of '91 here. Santa Clara High, Santa Clara, CA. Our class song was Youth Gone Wild - Skid Row.

my graduating class had to sing our class song to the music , it was forever young by Rod Stewart, we had 2 practice sessions and on the day nailed it with a graduating class of 3 hundred + kids

ABSOLUTE BANGER! 🔥

Canyon Springs High - Moreno Valley, CA. Class of 1994 - "End of the Road" by Boys II Men

Now You're Gone by Whitesnake! 😎🔥🤘🎸

I'm a Whitesnake fan, and I love this video Here I Go Again. Other awesome Whiesnake songs are Still of the Night, Is This Love, Bad Boys, Give Me All Your Love Tonight, Fool for you Lovin, etc.

I graduated in 1986...our senior song was 'Nothing Could Stand In Your Way' by Zappacosta. At least, that's what I think it was...I graduated top of my class, but I didn't bother with attending the grad...instead, saved the money for university that fall...ahh, the memories,,,it all seems like yesterday, where did the time go??? Love the channel!!

Hardee High class of 1992 reporting in, ours was Boyz II Men, End of the Road

Graduated in 90.......Still Love this song and video. Watching as I was working and just had to pause and watch Tawny one more time

I don't have the faintest idea what a senior song or class song is. However I was at university 1980 to 1983 in Bristol. I saw them live at Colston hall, Bristol on 1981, and hitch hiked all the way from Bristol to London to see them in 1982. Loved them. Happy days.

My senior song was Rod Stewart "Forever Young"

Every teenage boy from the 80s remembers this video!

This was also my class song. Class of '88

Class of 91. Our senior song was Time For Change Motley Crue.

Every time I see Tawny dancing and doing splits on the car I think about the Bill Murray line from Ghostbusters, "Nimble little minx, isn't she?"

It's in the movie rock of ages too, great movie

Class of 84...Separate Ways..Journey

Love this song. And yeah it was very much pop music of 1987:)

That was our senior song also. Absolutely, independent creatures.

The 80's were the best. The best music ever.

Love you guys, AND 80s Hair bands❤️👍

There were two versions of this song. The album cut, which is the video here and what Rock stations played and the "radio edit" which were the single and was played on the pop stations.

When hair period began, especially with the launch of 1987 album, DJs (and listeners) seemed to forget all the previous great rock/blues/funk (like their cover of "Day Tripper") Whitesnake had done. And people who know the great hits of that album seem to think Whitesnake have done nothing since. But albums like "Good to be bad" "Stormbringer" "Forevermore" "Restless Heart" are just loaded with powerful, gritty no-nonsense rock. And let us not forget the live unplugged "Starkers in Tokyo" (just Coverdale and Vanderberg) which still sounds gerat. I'd love to see reactions to songs like: Only My Soul (or Sailing Ships, if I can't get both), Slave, Best Years, Wings of the Storm, the instrumental "Belgian Tom's hat trick", Fool for your loving, Fool in love again, and W's version of "ain't no love in the heart of the city". Ah! And of course no Whitesnake concert was left without "Burn" (originally recorded by Deep Purple) often in a medley with "stormbringer".

My class song was Journey - Don't Stop Believing. This song was on on the ballet along with Rock N Roll High School by the Ramones.

Crying in the rain live Aldrich amazing 73 year old drummer definitely won't be disappointed...

'97 here, I believe our class song was Green Day's "Time of Your Life".

Great singer for sure.

Co '89 here, ours was "I'll Be There For You"

The original version had a “nip slip” at the beginning of the second chorus when she’s hanging out the window of the car. MTV didn’t catch it right away and it did air. I use to have it on VHS back in the day when I recorded My favorite videos.

I graduated well past the 80s. I cant remember which song won out but I remember our choices were between a song from GnR or Motley Crüe. It had nothing to due with a song being relatable as it did my class loved 80s rock.

Righ in that era with you Burch, Class of 86 here. I love this track and this album and these guys were soo good live... saw them on this tour and the one after in 89-90 with Steve Vai for the Slip of the Tongue album and tour...

Class of 1983 in central PA high school was "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The thing I liked about Dave's band the most is how clean their sound was, both musically and on their lyrics. They were sexual but you never felt they were degrading women to a piece of meat. There's always an element of a man begging for love rather than a guy of questionable credentials telling her she is cheap and easy. I'm still a fan because of this.

My senior song was "nothing but a good time" by Poison. class of 1989

Our 1990 senior song as well

I love whitesnake

This song is my life. Ive made it clear in my will, that they will play this song at my wake.

I was class of '88 and remember this song very well, and by the way sang it word for word...LOL

I graduated from HS 37 years ago this week. I bought this Tape the first week of June 87. we had just moved to Tampa from Indiana. I did not want to go, but this album had a BIG impact on me settling into life in Florida! Such great nostalgia. Thank you for this.

She's beautiful, good review by u guys, seen them live as young cats, awesome show by them 🤘😆🤘🎸🥁🎤

Great song..I only know 2 of their songs and this is definitely a fantastic one.great reaction

I graduated in 1992. Smells like Teen Spirit was the song and our anthem

1981 Styx Best of Times was my senior song

I always thought of this as my theme song as well. I graduated in 1990 (should have been '89 but that's another story) and our class voted for Goodbye to Romance by Ozzy as our class song.

our class song was The Best of Times by Styx 1982

do you all remember shades night club in orange park? they use to have concerts and i was at their last show b4 they quit doing concerts and saw Cinderellla, was waiting outside to get in and Tom was warming up his voice then while concert was ongoing shook Erics hand...memories I will never forget

Gods that makes me feel alive again :D Takes me right back to my twenties and nights at 'proper' rock clubs trying desperately to impress the ladies with my air guitar skills and hair :chuckles: And one lady in particular it worked on ... so much so that I married her :) To the day that she passed she always said one of her great memories was of me rocking out in my trenchcoat to Still of the Night at one of the clubs we used to go to every week :D EDIT: I was going to ask myself "When did I get so stay-at-home and boring?" ... but it's a question that answers itself ... I got old and my wife died young. It's a 'quote' that is attributed to no one that I know of but "Life is not for the weak!"

Our senior song was Joe Walsh- Life's Been Good....class of 78

Fantastic song.great reaction

Class of '81 Back in Black

Ok, love whitesnake but let’s be honest! Every guy loved this video… and it ain’t cause of the band, y’all know why! Love u guys, keep it up!

YOUTH GONE WILD

Our senior song was Don’t You(Forget About Me) by Simple Minds in 1985

I swear the first few airings of this video contained a "Nip Slip"....anyone else remember ?

Great song and reaction. My senior song was Bon Jovi Never Say Goodbye.❤❤

Class of ‘88 here as well. Go Tornadoes. We used to listen to this song while cruising “the strip” in our tiny town with the t-tops out on my 1979 Cutlass Calais.

My senior song was Never Say Goodbye, by Bon Jovi this was late 90's. My wife was I will remember you, by Sarah McLachlan

The original was on their Saints & Sinners album from 1982. Back when Whitesnake was more bluesy. It had Bernie Marsden and Mick Moody on guitars, Jon Lord on keys, Ian Paice on drums and Neil Murray on bass. Crying In The Rain was also on this album. When they recorded Here I Go Again in 1987 guitarist John Sykes didn't like the blues and the solo was recorded by Adrian Vandenburgh. Check out early Whitesnake. Songs like Walking In The Shadow Of The Blues, Love Hunter and Mean Business.

Winner - Closer to Free - Bo Deans (Party of Five theme song Runner up - 1979 - Smashing Pumpkins (most of our class was born 78/79)

My senior song was "Time for Change" by Motley Crue.

I graduated high school in fall ’87, and I don’t recall any particular “senior song,” but Bon Jovi’s “Never Say Goodbye” was played at several senior events. Other biggies included “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” by Crowded House and Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.” However, “Here I Go Again” remains special for me when it came out in fall of ’87, when I was a rather angsty college freshman, having had a rather sheltered childhood as an only child with some health issues until my teens. Suddenly I'm on my own and not a big social butterfly. I spent a lot of time in the campus game room, and this song was blaring from the jukebox often, speaking to me: “I don’t know where I’m goin’, but I sure know where I’ve been.” It’s poignant when you’re at life’s crossroads, whether you’re ending a chapter or beginning one.
