Swing Out Sister - Breakout (Official Music Video) 

Me its been in myhead I have to listen to it to get it out

Heard it for the first time in GTA 4 recently...

I am!

Swing out Sister were fab. I would go back to the 80s in a heartbeat..

I'm enjoying this classic, happy song in January of 2024. I'll come back to it again, and again. Timeless, joyful music. ☺️

I'm here for it too

Yes❤

majisuka!

You forgot about her smile

Killer Bob hair.

Let's not forget the composer who wrote the song for her.

She is!

@@alanledesma4945 and her eyebrows. 😁

Yes, definitely. I love the elegance of the 80’s. We could use some of it today. Great decade. Great songs.

👋 of course lol...

In Detroit and I love S.O.S.

Check out "Somewhere In The World" (1997) by SOS as well if you like this song. Same vibe!

Yes !!!❤

May she rest in peace

So sorry for your loss 💔 🙏

May your dear mother sing with the angels. Make a joyful noise unto heaven.

Ain't nobody ever gonna love ya like your mama

Shows what great taste your Mum had.

❤verdade sem nenhuma tatuagem ainda como pode ne

No digital facial manipulation either.

Amen. I remember this song back in 1987. I was only a little boy. Glad my mom and dad got me into this.

@@courtgizzle Hope they go back to making pop songs like this.

Yes they may in 2080 @@Jabbaro123

@Jestatgothaman That's a bit too long just to go back to making good music.

But that's the next 80s of the future, would you rather 2180?@@Jabbaro123

I always thought 2020s might bring back 1980s style music!

Songs of any genre could top the charts during that period

60's music is good too

Movies too

Stop smoking crack! 🤣

I hear ya 😄 I started listening to them in elementary school as a young black girl and remained a fan ever since ❤

@@hello-dannie I was a sea scout in the UK, we were camping and some kid had a ghetto blaster and this tune recorded from the radio on a cassette, we listened to it the whole weekend... great memories!

I’m 62 white man I was captured by her voice. Color makes no difference we are all family who love listening to this great music and time.

I'm a 36 year old white man. I was born when this song was on the airwaves. Lol

@Mr.Quintin1959: We're about the same age. I know a lot of "our People" in the states anyway, didn't get it at that time, but I always really enjoyed a lot of the SOS catalogue, and thanks to CD and MP3 and streaming technologies, have never stopped playing it over the years, or had to deal with the ravages of time and replays on old vinyl. A lot of SOS songs were actually deeper and more melancholy than the music lets on, but still enjoyable. In that vein, I recommend listening to "Afterhours" and the both the vocal and instrumental versions of "Forever Blue."

Yea, exactly I was miserable in high school then too,but like Dad said. They were the best of times,and we arrived to be the best we could at everything we did

To quote a much earlier 80s hit song from the era I was still at school in: "Ooh what fun we had,but at the time it seemed so bad"! I was lucky with the schools I went to,though - the standards were good and the teachers at secondary (high) school were easy-going compared to what most of my peers experienced!

​@@mcclift9451 my mother would say if I said I didn't want to go to school " Enjoy school because when you are older, you will give anything for one day back in school. She was 100% right. We kinda took it gor granted..

The year 1987 was literally THE WORST year of my life (it was during my college years). Too long and complex to explain here but suffice to say that during that whole summer I was one step away from suicide (fortunately, I never considered taking it) and during that entire year I was within five steps of suicide. (It does not help that the whole world thinks that that was a golden year in a golden decade--which both were not). This song was one of only two things (along with a three-day family trip) that prevented that year from being an absolute total dead loss and is the only song from that year I can now listen to. Partially it is because, like you said, it is an upbeat and cheerful song. Partially it is because to me it actually sounds like a 1980s cover of a 1970s song (which is the music era I prefer to listen to).

I was in college working as a busboy in a restaurant.

Corine looks gorgeous in the whole video

Agree

take me with you

@@alfie8472 let’s gooooo, cause this 2020’s stuff ain’t it.

I feel sorry for youth today who think Taylor Swift is worth listening to. Sounds pure bland and forgettable to me.

@@draoi99 I agree, her & Ed Sheeran. I couldn't name a song from either of them, both bland.

You got that right.

Can you. Feel me Sonny ?

Well said ✨

Look up Strawberry Switchblade. That will make you even happier

I’m 67 and still play this for a good feelin day!

i agree!! i m 58

MrRibby88 exactly 😁👍

Yeeesss lmao

Listened to their Greatest Hits album many times. Enjoyable retro music!

Remember That!!!

MrRibby88 love this song. ❤️

You SAID it. It's the CREAM.

Not so much a fan of 80's music but this song is different. So upbeat and has energy without being frantic. It's special!

The @@Juliaflo

Agree because those were artist who really cared about the craft.

@@frankbartus5792 I agree with everything you just said 👌 .

It was a privilege indeed ...

The best

Ikr?!?! Miss it soooooooo MUCH!🤷‍♂️

I hope heartedly agree 80,s music is and will be the best

It was a happy sunny time.

🎯

Listening to this wonderful, uplifting song in late January of 2024. A timeless piece of ear candy I will return to again and again. 😍

Me

Eu 🇧🇷

It sure is. And a lot better than what passes for contemporary music today. It had style. It had elegance. Not like today. Today, there is no elegance to be found.

Yessss!!!!!

Unless you lived in the Soviet Union/Russia, Latin America, Africa, China, and any country associated with the former Soviet Union.

It was a great time to be alive. I was in my 20s. I wanna go back!!

Bless you Brudda-Sista.

Music world wide was at it’s best 🥰😎🎤

i was a teen ager thru the 70's and it was a blast,,80 were just as good people have just forgoten how good it was ,,,loved it

God so do I times seemed so much simpler back th ed n

same here.Im in the wong Generation.wah

If only we could go back!!!

Let's go!

In case you’re too young to have lived through the 80s, they were the best time in history for pure musical joy and inspiration.

ME!!😁😂

Unfortunately somebody thought that she should wear Olive Oyl's pajamas.

Yeah she was hot as catfish grease.

She's channeling Louise Brooks a lot in this video, imo...

Actually she's so 1920's especially with that flapper girl bob haircut.

Most def. A timeless beauty.

lol

The best times of my life!

2000's suck in music.....not much better now....

Dwight Terry: ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dead right love it

I always liked that part when she says lay down the law etc. Great song beautiful woman. Wish I could go back in time and she was my girlfriend. haha

@@joelemerson8161 stand in line bro . , hahaha

@@joelemerson8161 your not alone , hahaha 😆 😂 🤣 just kidding 😆 😜

Gotta love those horns!

That's right

Count me in. I was 14 and high school-bound when this video first appeared on MTV. during the summer of '87. What a feel-good song I'm still rocking to more than three decades later.

@@briankh2007 level 42

👏👏👏

Me!

Always thought there was a music video to this song that was mostly a speed-boat in the tropics. Still jammin' to this song 🎵 in 2021. A NEW Nu-Wave of music would be welcome any year now.

How beautiful! God bless you both! 😘🥰💖❤️

It was and still is a good song, I was 10 or 11 when this was released

Tell me about it ! The FREE 80's !

Right

@@patelpelat4658 darn right...blissful

💉💊🎲🥃🍒🌭🎉

Personally I think nostalgia fools people. The Maggie Thatcher years weren’t great at all, the fashion was terrible and the music was cheesy. In the 90s things brightened up again and while the last few years haven’t been easy for everyone I’m happier to be alive now than I was in the 80s.

She was beautiful too! Almost as gorgeous as u.

yea

Corrine is so Haute Couture I ache to relive those days.

Good looking picture of yourself😘

Only because this was London style in 1986. If they expected it to breakout (excuse the pun) in the USA then maybe they would have forced Corinne to the salon for a few crunchy curls!

Kealani Williams he’s listening to this in heaven

Cherish the memories you made together 💝

Kealani Williams He is in heaven now listening to this wonderful song. 😀

Love never dies.

Mètta

Very true, most beautiful woman 😊

@@petebest22 Yeah I always thought she looked so danged gorgeous in her Louise Brooks hairstyle :-) What a lovely gal!

Corinne Drewery was one of the most beautiful singers in the 80's

No kidding! I thought she was so beautiful

I didn't know at the time, she had hair like the filmstar Clara Boe. I don't know if Corinne knew it either.

I said to my wife the other day "We were totally spoiled for music in the 80s".

Yo también tenía esa misma edad . Y me recuerda mucho mí pasada juventud. . La calle. Las noches. Y una chica que me gustó mucho y tenía ese mismo peinado que la cantante. ...asu.. .. madre.....😂

Pop in my head this morning 😂😂

Similar age as you. This song also brings back a specific childhood memory.

You've got that right. Goes too fast.

Wish I were 46 again.

Why didn't you get anything?

Happiness is a state of mind, you’re never too old to find your happiness. Life does goes fast that’s why it is important to live our life to the fullest.

I'm drinking a Corona while I'm listening to this!

Thanks you too

Great taste bro!

I am! Love SOS!

SONNY da CUSE I am SONNY! I started my teens in '86 and loved all the sophisti-pop in the UK charts at the time

I was humming it and said let me come to you tube and hear it

I am.

I remember I had the album back when it came out. Every couple of years, if I start looking up the old songs on RU-vid......this one comes to mind.

Kenny Jones way better than today’s music!

A timeless beauty.

I never saw this video and the radio stations never said who it was. I honestly thought all this time that Gloria Estefan sang this.

Kenny Jones 33 yrs 😢 Bloody hell.. it just hit me: I’m an old fart.

Wait wait wait... Did you say 33 years?? How old am I?

I disagree on two counts. (1) it's not safe to say what you said and (2) it's not one of the best songs from the 80s. Not even close. Edited to Add: Check out all the princesses triggered by this comment.

@@ivanjulian2532 very funny. nice analysis.

Don’t forget Heaven Seventeen, Spando Ballet, Level 42 Starchild, Boy George Time etc. it could be in on top 20.

Concordo com você!!

@@TonyTone1 yo real talk level 42 was the shiznit DONT 4get TEARS 4 FEARS bro

Yep. I’m a musician and I totally agree...

@@Carehuea During that era there were a few groups that had that 80s Jazz/Rock fusion sound. Matt Bianco, Mezzoforte and of course Swing Out Sister

I think they had a name for it: sophisti-pop

It's a great high energy number that picks you up and moves you along to a happy place

There is a fully live multiplayer cover with Amy Bird on RU-vid. It made me appreciate just how much is going on in this song, and how complex the arrangement is. . It's no wonder it is a classic.

Even though we all need positivity these days, for the things to be positive there have to be fewer things happening around us and in the world. Videos like this capture life impressions. Not real life.

​@@StopFearI did not get your point. However, these type of "impressions" as you mentioned is what makes life better. There are and there will always be fewer "necessary" material things around us, but the non material things like these are what makes life worth living

Me too, I was nine, fun times #80sKid

Reached number 4 in November 1986. Take My Breath Away by Berlin was number 1 at the time. Other songs in the Top 10 included Kim Wilde's cover of You Keep Me Hanging On,SAW poppets Mel & Kim's breakthrough smash Showing Out,The Final Countdown by Europe (which would go on to reach the very top),Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi,Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles,Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush and Through the Barricades by Spandau Ballet.

@@rjjcms1 Even though I'm mainly a Jungle / DnB and House head, those are all classics! Nostalgia hits hard!

I agree with you because I am a qualified lesbian 😊

To me it’s really hard to say which year was the best in the 80s because there were great tunes all the time! I miss 80s. ❤️

@Bond Win I couldn't have said it better. 👍🙋🏻‍♂️

Not sure where u live but here in the US it definitely came out in summer of 1987.

most definitely especially this one 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Great year and era for Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston...

It was an international hit back in 1987.

@@plawson8577 I remember

You can’t be in a bad mood when listening to it. Instant smile kind of song

Back when popular things were popular because they were good.

yes you're right

Corinne Drewery is a beauty. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-82MlCD1gsdM.html

She is pretty with any hairdo but I think she is prettier with longer hair.

Sheer class. Phowoooar !

Absolutely!

I think its elegant and she really suits it, and she had a great smile as well, expressive and fun.

@YvonneSanddrson-nx4hq: Even the names of the UK bands were cool.

Me, too.

Uhg. Me too girl. Even without coronavirus, the way life is I'd give up my left leg to go back 😢

Jam back then, but it means something now.

50+? I'm 44 and have very clear memories of this song on MTV

@@Mateo-et3wl I know other age groups will recall the song. I’m responding to my age group as I’m 50.🤷🏾‍♀️

You watch your gosh darn mouth, Gregory Griffin the Third, twice removed!! I will not allow my disgustingly gorgeous ex-girlfriend-in-law to be exposed to this display of... MADNESS. AbSoLUtE MADNESS

Lay down the law, shout out for more, breakout and shout day in day out and breakout

I’m still watching in 2024👍

It's a great song and performance no doubt, but it's not timeless. It s very much an 80s song. The instant I heard the opening bars I thought "80s".

@@dnmurphy48 Yes, maybe it's just that being temporal beings, some music subjectively acts "as if" it's timeless if it reenacts the feelings you had in the time when you used to hear it. Somehow making present the past as if disolving time, time-less ...

@@dnmurphy48 The thing that gets 4gotten is. This was another tune in the 80s musical landscape. It got lots of airplay and nobody cared, just let the music Play ▶️.

@@corporeidad Think you're on to something💡

This song is timeless.

"cheekbones like geometry" Brilliant. I am going to steal that from you!

@@scotthall8046 Wish I could claim it ! The expression is properly attributed to the singer/songwriter, Lloyd Cole...in his song called Perfect Skin, one lyric goes, “...she’s got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin...”

@@scotthall8046 and eyes like sin! I've always told My Mrs. whenever I heard that loyd and the Cs song I thought of Her.

When I was a teenager l thought she was gorgeous and I still do!

Her beauty was breathtaking alright 🥰🥰🥰

still here since the late 80s and still counting.

Meeeeeeeexx

True. I was proud to have grown up and lived through it all in that decade.

Certainly true and correct From Philippines

Was this in the 80s? All along, i thought this was in the early 90s!😲

@@arnairbalkhobar2929 That's what I thought too! I thought this was 90 or 91.

@@frederickzoreta6617 i google searched it. And it was released in 1986

I hear you man!!!👍👍 And I had and still have a crush on Corinne, and I'm probably not alone on that one!👍👍 From Ireland 🍀

I remember seeing them perform this on one of the Saturday morning TV shows when it was a new hit,and all the group except Corinne being in boiler suits.

I agree Mike.

Corinne was a very naturally beautiful woman. I think she looked her most stunning in the "Am I the Same Girl" video, but she really looked great no matter what.

Look at how much she's smiling !! What a difference to today, most women either look bored, aggressive or both. Ha, ha!!

@@euanelliott8068 : Yeah, her big, megawatt smile really makes it. 😀

Agree 👍 ❤! Our 80’s bobs are reminiscent of the beauties of the 1920’s era.

I'm 16 but turning 17 this August and I know this song because of the radio.

I'm 22 years old, I discovered this song through a cassette of my dad

I’m 20 ( born in 2001), I discovered this group 1 week ago after seeing their name in the comment section of a Basia video. I’m now listening to them non-stop, I will buy their albums on Amazon. ( I even followed them both on Instagram and Facebook lol. ) I really don’t understand why they’re not bigger in popularity, they are soooo underrated. Even if I really wish that I was alive and an adult at this time ( 1987-1989 ), I still consider myself lucky to know about them. It’s nice to see that they are still active, too. If one day they make a concert in France ( more specifically in Paris), I will make sure to be there.

HAHAH such a gem. I'm 21 too and actually, My dad used to play these at my birthday parties when I was little, and ahh such nostalgia and good vibes! Have an awesome day!

Keep the 80's alive my young friends. It's a huge catalog of music though. I grew up then and I still sometimes find new 80's songs I never heard back then. The 90's were phenomenal too as they built on the 80's in large part and took it to a new level, but there's still much to be appreciated about the 80's.

Same here hahahah i took 16 years to found it since i see in a commercial

Days ago I dreamed about this song that was part of my teenage years in the 80s and I ended up finding it. I had never seen the clip and it only brought me even more good feelings. Beautiful vocalist Corinne Drewery is now a friendly 61-year-old lady.

@Fiona Mitchell you look younger than your age.

Feels good doesn't It. You should listen to their other songs as well. Forever Blue, Twilight World are pretty good. At least I think so.

I'm jealous of my cousins being teens back then. Me, literally an 80s baby.

The keyboard bass was a bit average. I know it was a bit of the times, never liked it.

The internet destroyed society for the profit of a small group of tech corporations.

Because we're ANGRY and just want to get rid of Donald Trump! Grrr! 🤬

@@crosbonit Trump Derange Symptom lol

@@natural_law 😁 Trump 2020, baby.

Corinne Drewery, pretty fine for a Brit. 🥹

There were mobiles in the 80's but they were like house bricks.

yeah and we survived without all that crap!

oh the news was fake, but with some sense of subtlety and finesse

Two social media existed here although one-way,the French had Minitel, the Germans had Btx, a lot of BBS services in the US. Internet came here in May 1982. Mobile phones became widely available 2 years later,mostly carphones then,.A lot of fake news(news started with "the president ...")as all news was controlled by the military which seized power. The next year we got democracy.

Even gender was more straightforward back then (not trying to offend)
