No texting, no social media, the phone still had a long cord to the wall in the kitchen, and we all went to sleep listening to the best music ever on our clock radios. We had the best teenage experience! I feel sorry for the kids today.
Looking out a dirty old window Down below the cars in the city go rushing by I sit here alone and I wonder why Friday night and everyone's moving I can feel the heat but it's soothing, heading down I search for the beat in this dirty town Downtown the young ones are going Downtown the young ones are growing We're the kids in America (Whoa) We're the kids in America (Whoa) Everybody live for the music-go-round Bright lights, the music gets faster Look, boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance I'm not leaving now, honey, not a chance Hot-shot, give me no problems Much later, baby, you'll be saying nevermind You know life is cruel, life is never kind Kind hearts don't make a new story Kind hearts don't grab any glory We're the kids in America (Whoa) We're the kids in America (Whoa) Everybody live for the music-go-round La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la (Sing) La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la Come closer, honey, that's better Got to get a brand new experience, feeling right Oh, don't try to stop, baby, hold me tight Outside a new day is dawning Outside suburbia's sprawling everywhere I don't want to go, baby New York to east California There's a new wave coming, I warn ya We're the kids in America (Whoa) We're the kids in America (Whoa) Everybody lives for the music-go-round La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la (Sing) La la la la-la la-a La la la la-la la We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! This is *WAY* better than the cover version by The Muffs! Kim Wilde can really SING! And she's GORGEOUS too! Great looking video too. One of the best looking videos I've ever seen
debut single from 20 year old Kim with her brother Ricky 21on guitar, having co-written the song with their Father Marty. Reached number 2 in uk charts in March 1981.
@@ge2623 well... as someone in a band that has spent a decade recording,promoting, touring, writing, ... its become a very hard way of trying to make a living since mp3s went mainstream and people dont buy records in the way they used to do.
@@steamboatwill3.367 Nope. I have two cells and would rather use a towered "land-line." Not many '70's and '80's people are electronic junkies, many have real lives.
I have known lots of these "kids" and most have huge holes in their personalities and abilities. Like partial persons. . . If you depend upon the Machine, you will perish with it.

I think "red pants dude" is what got me and my friends hooked! And then we realized it was an awesome cover of an excellent Stones song! "Is that a Devo suit?"

On the internet, I have long felt like I was not part of any specific community, but because of the people in this comment section, I finally feel like I belong somewhere 🎧. Thank you people and Thank you Kim for making this possible. Love you all and I am looking forward for the Kim´s autobiography !❤️ 💖 🎤 ❤️
I was a month years old when Kids in America was released but I am a fan of her, I like all her songs and I like her too (beautiful face, beautiful eyes, beautiful hair, beautiful smile)!! I love Kim, greetings from Piura-Peru.
Hermoso, primera vez que escucho la versión original , vengo por la serie de Karl Largenfeld , conocía la version de los Jonas Brothers jaja ja , Hermosa la cantante Kim y no puedo creer los músicos tienen aspecto y look muy moderno, me mató el sintetizador de primeros de los 80 , épico , joya Nicolas de Gualeguaychu Enre Rios Argentina , la ame.
June 2021, how on earth does this have, at the time of writing, only 6012 views? Dang, this is a classic, be it from the 80s or even if GTA Vice City brought you here!
1981 Kim Wilde la première star mondiale de la pop ❤️❤️...plus tard arriveront Madonna, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna...mais il n'y a qu'une seule reine et c'est Kim 😛♥️🇲🇫
Looking out a dirty old window. Down below the cars in the city go rushing by. I sit here alone and I wonder why. Friday night and everyone's moving. I can feel the heat but it's soothing. Heading down, I search for the beat in this dirty town. Down town the young ones are going. Down town the young ones are growing. We're the kids in America. We're the kids in America. Everybody live for the music-go-round. Bright ligths the music get faster. Look boy, don't check on your watch, not another glance. I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance. Hot-shot, give me no problems. Much later baby you'll be saying never mind. You know life is cruel, life is never kind. Kind hearts don't make a new story. Kind hearts don't grab any glory. We're the kids in America. We're the kids in America. Everybody live for the music-go-round. Come closer, honey that's better. Got to get a brand new experience. Feeling right. Oh don't try to stop baby. Hold me tight. Outside a new day is dawning. Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere. I don't want to go baby. New York to East California. There's a new wave coming I warn you. We're the kids in America. We're the kids in America. Everybody live for the music-go-round. We're the kids We're the kids We're the kids in America
, ta chanson est sublime, la tonalité de ta voix est parfaite sur ce morceau, et elle si douce, mélancolique mais si porteuse d'espoir.. Je te redécouvre chaque jour et ce que je découvre est incroyable ! Répondre
