Got that right!! Just got of college in late 79 and inflation took a toll on the economy. I had to take a mail courier job in downtown LA and picked up mail from all the office secretaries for about a year into 1980. Best job I ever had for 3 dollars a hour. When I left the owner wanted to know how I liked the job and how can she improve it. I wrote that it was the best job I ever had in my life...never wrote that I meant and dated all those secretaries in the LA skyscrapers and when everyone went home from those offices, let us say..me and the secretaries had a blast...and carried on after work into the Hollwood Discos till maybe the next morning...Love and miss the 80's. Always puts a smile on my face..and sometimes my ex wife would ask, what are you smiling about? Those are just private treasure memories that I'll take to the grave
Damn! 17 when I blasted this tune. Now I'm 51 and cant stop dancing in my living room! Find me a DeLorean and fix the Flux capacitor, I'm headed back to the 80's!
Ikr? The 80s were the greatest decade ever. I don't wanna be the age I am now, but I wouldn't trade bring young during the 80s for anything. The best of everything & no BS.
@@Jr-nt1kp as of 2-14-2022, 56 others disagree with you. Also, you should use punctuations. Based on the response statement you left, I can’t figure out whether or not you had any more to say. There is no period (.) present to indicate the conclusion of your statement. Placement of a period at the end of your reply would make it a complete sentence.
Well, 1990 came along 🤭 kidding, born in '72. I think everyone loves the decade they mostly grew up in as a child, considering they had happy experiences, of course...not everyone does. If we could only go back with what we know, now. Ehhhh, I guess listening to the music that drove our youth will have to suffice. I miss it, too 🙂 PS These guys broke up in 1990. I guess they were done with the 80's, too 😋
Lmfao, Walmart got me here today. This was playing when i was picking up some oil. I was like damn i remember this S$/#. This came out after I graduated high school, brought back some good memories.
Funny you should mention Walmart. I hadn’t pulled this tune out in a while and re-addicted myself to it while shopping the frozen potatoes one day. Sounds stupid; but 100% true story.
I just heard this song in the grocery store the other day... Brought back memories....Came here to rewatch the video... vaguely remembered it....but still today..this is still a great catchy song.....have listened it to it several times now
One of my favorite songs of 87 i was 21 years old then kept wondering why i 🤔 couldn't remeber the title of it but i definitely recognized the singer's voice & lyrics!🎉
Maybe that's why I get eyebrows raised at me often.. because I haven't let political correctness rot my brain to the extent that i turn into a zombie and talk with PC2020 language
I was going through my 45's from the 80's and found this song. Been listening to it ever since. Still a great dance song. Even if I don't dance anymore.
The 80s were so gloriously wacky I LOVE it. I had forgotten about this track before my trip down the 80s rabbit hole. So glad I came across it. I remember the video on MTV like it was yesterday. LONG LIVE THE 80s!
Wow! I was 16 when I last heard this now 51. Still a good song! Madonna fan kool seeing how she started out with this band. Life was best during the 80's and 90's.
Me too. Like it so much . I first heard it on radio around late 80 or early 90s and spent more than 20 years or so without hearing until after the so called covid.
I remember my senior year in highschool, this song came out. We snuck in clubs and the dance floors would always be packed all night long. All the music was good ... but this one was a masterpiece. Still is a Gem 💎
I was 18 when this came out. Always went dancing back then. I just heard it the other day for the first time in probably 20 years. I forgot how much I loved it.
Madonna was the onetime drummer for this band, and going out with lead singer Dan Gilroy at the time, in 1979. They were living out of Corona queens during this time.
@@HaleyChain-vw8rr The various documentary/ bio’s mentioning Yeshiva/Synagogue that Madonna lived in before she made it big, 79 - 82 , this was Dan and his brother was living there, and doubled as their studio.
Good call out on Stephen Bray. It mentions Bray was dating Madonna back in University of Michigan days in the 70’s. He’s a singer, drummer, song writer, producer with an impressive music career, worked on Like a Prayer album, before coming back and playing drums for breakfast club here. Search his name on RU-vid and some interesting interviews.
@@charlesnjogu4228 yep. She also sang lead in a couple songs and dated a couple of the guys. Stephen Bray, the drummer, went on to write and produce several hits on her first solo album, “Madonna.” There’s a movie out called “Madonna and The Breakfast Club” that tells the story. The trailer is here on RU-vid.
Also, you can see Jelly Bean's name in the credits. He's the dude who worked with Madonna in the early days (and she guested on his track Sidewalk Talk).
There was another madonna movie called Innocence Lost. She played in this band before she went solo. In the movie she dates the lead singer. Wendy Malek plays her agent. Came out in 1994.
I never knew who sung this song, just knew that I've always enjoyed it from way back in the 1980s, don't think I'll get tired of it, I believe in giving all types of music a try!
