i really regeret not being born in late 60s to be adolescent in the 80s...that period's music is my absolute passion, so sad it won't come back anymore...
good tune...1982 was incredible....i was 12 back then watched mtv....played arcade games...ect....life was great...now it seems like long lost dream.... .. ..
I would've loved to have been 18 in 1982 and living in London during the 80s. Lot of great music came out of the UK during the 80s. I've always preferred the early 80s to late 80s.Very different time and social era then. I remember them well , I was just too young to enjoy that decade. 80s was the best decade for music.
The guitarist who is ROLAND ;) Love the dance...almost as much as goofing on Jules videos...it's immortalized as EPIC in the official vid for this TFF early great! Roland looks less awkward and has that awesome trench coat/mitten combo...I am proud to say I love 80s music and born in 88...2 months late for 101...
used to practice that dance waving my arms about randomly for hours -- never even came close to getting it !! i think roland may have been the only individual on the planet who could pull it off. great stuff and great memories of that period
After all these times of this video coming up on my random playlist and reading this comment again and again, I still stay it's the best comment on all of youtube!
this is what i am talking about.....!!! Got to love you tube.... you foret a great tune, some block from American idol does a great a version, you check out a few techno remixes ( bollocks apart from Gigi's but where is a good recording) then you go back to the TOTP orginal and WOW - thant's what's its all about
Dang, whatever happen to shows like this. I know TOTP is from England, but here in the states we had shows like that too. I don't care if they lipsync or not. I kinda wish I was back there in the 80's again. That was like how we got to know and meet the musicians back then. That's probably why I don't care that much for music nowadays, hey they even took music videos off MTV, and completely ruined that channel. By the way I am a big T4F fan..
@debbiechickie5 - Sorry Deb, it REALLY IS a mic...though if it's any consolation it probably wasn't being used....I feel like pulling a Crocodile Dundee on it though...."That's Not a Mic.......THIS is a Mic".....but Yeah....I miss the 80's too.....(Well some of it, anyway)
ps sorry for the typos below - got a bit keen about the TUNE..... I just wish somebody could take this version + Gigi's and give us a chedder free up tempo remix that captures the greatness of this tune in a 2009 cover
wrong haircut + the strange unexplicable guitarist dance at 2.18 + questionable people in the audience + everything is TOO coloured + misterious caraibic sounds all along the song + total playback + uncomfortably designed microphone = this is a MASTERPIECE!! (serious) ah, the 80s....
Dude, that is nowhere close to a mullet!! Get it right. It's just a really cute boy haircut. Besides they pull off almost any style with ease.. Very cute time for them.
