Freur - Doot Doot (Official Video) 

1983, I was 15 years old and got blown away by this song. Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories.

There are certain songs that create a sense of emotional nostalgia, even if it doesn't specifically tie to anything in particular. This is one of those songs.

What an absolutely amazing time to be growing up and to be influenced by music. The emerging New Wave music with Flock of Seagulls, Strange Advance, The Fixx, Men Without Hats, OMD, Human League, Joy Division, XTC, Freur, and many more. Not to mention everything else that was happening at the same time with Ska, Rock, Pop, early Rap... there was so much going on!! So very thankful.

I remember back in the day I left the TV on and fell asleep and to be awoken by this song at like 3 in the morning. My head was boppin while Im half sleep. For the life of me I could never find out who this was until now. How awesome is that?

I have loved this song for 30 years, just found it. so cool. And i am 77 yo.

The most underrated 80’s song out there!

Audiophiles of the 80’s can time travel through music.

Ero appena adolescente ed inconsapevole che gli anni ‘80 sarebbero stati i migliori anni della mia vita. Quanto ricordi e quanta nostalgia!!!!!!!! ❤

Come una macchina del tempo ,mi ritrovo 40 anni fa ,ero un ragazzo , quanti sogni , la spensieratezza di quegli anni, le ragazze, gli amici i Fleur ! ❤ È vero che alcune canzoni, sono la colonna sonora della nostra vita !

This song makes me cry for days long ago. Damn the 80’s ruled!

From this came Underworld. That says it all about the gifted creativity of this group. Superb, all the way!

I can't explain in words, how much this song means to me.

Chi non ha vissuto quei tempi, non può capire ....😢

3:16 the transition here is just amazing.

Un pezzo da brividi, unico ! lo ascolterei mille + mille volte ancora !

Thank you Cameron Crowe for including this song in Vanilla Sky. Captures, perfectly, the emotion David feels when he understands what is happening. He didn’t kill Sophia. Beautiful.

The more you listen to this song the more you’re drawn into the atmosphere it creates. Beautiful use of builds and pull backs or decrescendos.

The 80s. Damn. I hope when I die heaven is the 80s on constant replay. Miss those days.

Best 80's track ever

I was working as a DJ in a pub, that summer. This song blew my mind; everybody's minds, I'd say, because I would play it once, twice... Even three times on the same night. And people crowded to the dance floor; that was something to be seen. Not even Billy friggin' Jean got that reaction. I just can't get my mind around the idea that Culture Club's Karma whatever reached #1, while Doot-Doot didn't even make it to the top 20.

Another iconic piece of music so unforgettable, yet still forgotten😢, amazing all the memories it tugs! Happy, sad , love, loss what special times!🎉

The people of New Zealand made this a hit and was in their number one hit parade for weeks. Freur actually wrote and additional chorus to this track and sent it to the people of New Zealand.

It is incredible, this song still gives me chills after 40 years...

Floating through a nostalgic wormhole filled with beautiful synth emotion. This piece is odd, yet incredibly beautiful at the same time. So many emotions rolled into one audio journey - sadness, loneliness, inspiration, hope, and so much more. Amazing, really. Time to replay the video...for the tenth time. Thank you, Freur.

80's essence, mystical, haunting, past and the future combined in the romantic now. Beautiful masterpiece! Vienna by Ultravox is in the same masterclass.

La delicatezza di questa canzone è disarmante. Un pezzo che ti fà viaggiare contemporaneamente indietro e avanti nel tempo. Solo brividi!!!!

Che ricordi... era il 1983 ed io rimasi folgorato da questo pezzo la prima volta che lo vidi suonare (in playback) alla TV. Non so se fosse a Discoring o cosa ma mi catturò subito. Ricordo che il batterista continuò a suonare selvaggiamente e irrefrenabilmente la batteria anche dopo la fine del brano...WOW!!! da lì mi comprai le prime bacchette. 😎

Vanilla sky's soundtrack. Elevator scene.

Saw them in London in the 80s... Brilliant... Great Memories

This whole song is fantastic, but that warm synth introduced at roughly 3:20 just makes the whole song work.

This is the song I want played at my funeral. So beautiful

For lack of a more lengthy summation ( and I resist the temptation to wax loquacious, here): This song, and the moment it captures in time, is PERFECT. Forever sublime, and an indelible stroke in music history; it holds a special place in my heart, that no other memory from those years ever will. ~CC.

So I'm listening to this, for what the 10,000th time, yet still my hair stands on end. That says something about this amazing tune. Was surprisingly only a minor hit here in the UK but I'm so glad that didn't stop them!

I was once, in another life, on the same record label as Freur. I remember bemused A&R people playing stuff like this to me and asking plaintively "is it any good?". They really didn't know what to make of them. I thought it was lovely stuff, but never in a million years would I have predicted the mighty Underworld. Although of course if you listen now it was all there in embryo. Fascinating.

Every here and there I would hear this song ring through my house. It was my father's favorite, one he would test every sound system upgrade with. He was my best friend, and I lost him to cancer 3 days ago. I miss my family. RIP dad, this one's for you.

V A N I L L A S K Y ❤️

Definitely in my personal top 10 of the best songs I've ever listened to. Thank you, Vanilla Sky. Thank you, Freur.

I recall seeing this video and hearing this track for the first time in 1983 and thinking 'These guys have something' little knowing at the time that they would become Underworld. One of my favourite bands of the last 25 years.

We often say ...ahead of its time.. well this was really the case!

I love how their look and sound feels like it's from some alternate future that could have happened

I'm 44 and miss the 80's 😞

I have been chasing this video for some after a few decades. This song still sends chills and tingling in my soul. Thank you.

This song is special.

Stunningly beautifully layered song I love the keyboards and the quintessential stand up drums from the 1980s

Best song ever hands down

Vanilla Sky...

An inmortal tune.

A classic - loved this song since I was a teen. I had the 12” version. This can often be found on compilation albums, it obviously has a following.

I still can't wrap my head around their development into 'Underworld' SO much my favorites, but in multiple genres. I love it!

It returns at last!! This video was on RU-vid years ago and it was removed for some reason (probably some stupid copyright or something ) I remember watching this on a video jukebox in London in about 1983 and thinking “this band is so oringinal”. I still think this is one of the best songs to come out of the 80’s.

So great, so individual this 'Fairy-Song' ✨timeless& unforgettable 🍀

There's an alternate dimension feel to this song. Full of wonder

Amazingly ahead of it time, with its sound and melody... It launches my mind into deep space with some scenes of other faraway worlds, inhabited landscapes with plants animals, ruins and odd civilizations, strangely beutiful views of undiscovered new horizons for mankind to explore. Thanks Freur! You influenced many, beyond mesure.

This is still one of my favourite albums. This song is just mad good.

I was a kid when this song came out. Now I am 46, turning 47 in 5 Months. I wish the 80ies may come back again someday, the world needs them more than ever.

This is exactly the spirit of the 80's - Always if I hear it, I'm still there, exactly WITHIN, in my first date, my first kiss, still in my first "lost in music". Thx a lot for this part of timelessness! No wonder that I became a fan of UNDERWORLD's Music - this are the founding people ;o)

This song is sublime. Stood out then as it does now. Love that these guys would re-emerge as one of the most influential electronica acts of all time, Underworld.

Ce morceau me fait revenir des décennies en arrière, un résumé du bonheur que c’était de vivre ces instants.

Facevo il militare. quando girava questo pezzo di musica elettronica...bei tempi!!!!

All I can say is lay down..close your eyes...and headphones ! Aaaahh !!!

Best use of synth ever. Gives me the shivers!

There are a few bits of 80's electronica that are timeless classics, this is certainly one of them.

“Let Me In,” when Owen takes her to his hideout and they make the blood pact.

Marvellous is an understated understatement. What a brilliant tune

I've been waiting for someone to reupload this video version for this wonderful song to the internet. It was on Dailymotion for a bit, but disappeared.

such a beautiful lost classic,glad to find it back here after +30 years!

I was 12 back then. Something magic in this song let me be deep on my own every time i hear it. It´s still the same feeling since this song exists.

Saw this video 1983 and bought the 12" Extended version on vinyl (still have it). Love it till today, although they stated in an interview being asked why they reformed as Underworld, that they did Freur more for commercial reasons. LOL

Just way too good to have ever been popular. 🧡 Freur

I loved this song from when I first heard it at a club in the early 90's. It was good to hear it again in the Tom Cruise movie Vanilla Sky.

Toujours le même plaisir de réécouter ce morceau culte, le bonheur d’avoir vécu ces années sublimes..

This song manages to sound very much of its time yet still somehow timeless.

Siempre que escucho esta cancion me vuelve a parecer una genialidad llena de frescura y melancolia . Como se extrañan los 80s....😥😥😥

These guys invented the Tetris and Rubik's cube combo. Genius.

Simply, the best British song of the Eighties.

The 80's, it's summer, you are playing with your friends in the street, the sky is on fire with the sunset, your mom call you from the window, time to go back home.

This is my favorite music video of all time

Remember these guys being huge on the live circuit in South Wales in the 80s, they were formed in my hometown of Cardiff and I used to see Rick and Karl out and about in the city centre back in the day... To think, over a decade after this song they had evolved into Underworld and released three of the best albums of the 90s, as well as the generation-defining hit 'Born Slippy'! Incredible! As far detached from 'Born Slippy' as synth-pop and New Wave may seem, you can hear the early hints of Underworld here on this song... Phenomenal talent

music is not about how it's made or how it's performed, music is about what you hear and how it makes you feel.

Who's there in 2024?

I was 19 years old, heard it once on WLIR, ran out to Tower Records and bought the album as the 12” wasn’t in. I still have it and listen to it. For whatever reason this song has always yanked my heart right out of my chest and makes me weep. Yet I love it!

i used to fall asleep to this song, over ten years ago. fifteen years old and not sure what life would become. this song reminds me it's okay to be unsure of it all. this is not only the best 80s song but the best song of the century.

I have loved this song since it first came out. I had it on 12" vinyl back in the day. Still nothing compares to this song.

No, va beh, brividi e pelle d'oca. Fantastica!

I remember hearing this song for the first time while driving thinking it was a new OMD song. There was no Shazam back then. I even thought the DJ made a mistake naming the band when the song ended. Needless to say it instantly became one of my favorite songs of all time. It was the best decade in music. Tears for Fears , Ultravox , Icehouse , OMD, Yazoo, depeche mode, Roxy Music, A Ha, Blancmange, a flock of seagulls, The Fixx, Kim Wilde, and many more.

Una vita che cerco questa canzone... venerdì pomeriggio 8 luglio 2022 a lavoro, per radio la suonano... con app del telefono scopro chi sono.... sono nato nel 1977, forse da bambino devo averla ascoltata e metabolizzata! Un capolavoro di canzone!

Wow I stumbled on this song I haven't heard since the 80s❤❤❤ brings me back

Come non amare moltissimo questo brano?

Found this song when I was 10 years old. Watched vanilla sky and this was the song they played in the elevator on the way up to exit his dream with tech support. Loved this song ever since, ill probably be listening to this til I die im about to turn 29 in 3 months. Life moves fast spend your time wisely (im still figuring it out myself) peace out see you in the stars

Stranger Things missed a gem here.

"i tried to warn you in the bar David , I told you you must exercise control of yourself ,that it all depended on your mind. All of this...everything is your creation.And now we're heading toward your true moment of choice"

I was 14 when I first heard this song... It hit right on my imagination and dreaming about possibility and love. I was always a true romantic and still am This song puts me right back into 1983 and Vanilla Sky that makes me cry good tears of sadness but beautiful nostalgia.

Meravigliosa, mi riporta indietro di 30 anni

Einzigartige Klangfarben...perfekt arrangiert. Für mich der beste Song der legendären 80's ♥️

I remember this song. I've had this song in my mind on and off for 41 years

Capolavoro

There's a lot of talk about nostalgia here; personally, I think this song is timeless. You could use it today in a movie. That's just me.

14 y. o. for me in 1983...True beautiful Songs are for ever... Today's garbage immediately goes to W.C. ... GREAT FREUR.

brings back so many amazing times... Makes me happy to hear it being played and loved- again.

Finally they uploaded the music video for this epic track!!
