VIBES, VIBES, VIBES!.|FIRST TIME HEARING Cutting Crew - (I Just) Died In Your Arms REACTION 

For some good 80s falsetto, you need to listen to Fine Young Canibals- She Drives me Crazy

Also do J. Giles Band- Centerfold. Great iconic 80s song!

Good ole 80's...Howard Jones and Crowded House with a splash of Spandau Ballet! Level 42 and Simple Minds were huge then too.

Cutting Crew also has another good one called I’ve Been In Love Before. People have said that Tears For Fears was a good group with 80s anthems, but check out Crowded House: Don’t Dream It’s Over and Something So Strong.

For as many songs as you have done, you have only, microscopically, scratched the musical surface. It is truly an enjoyment watching you two.

Tears for Fears song " Everybody wants to Rule the World" was one of the anthem songs of the 80s. You will love it. Great reaction and song today as well. Was a big 80s hit. The buses would blast it on the way home,Durban style!

There's a sound called "gated reverb" that Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins accidentally came across when they were recording one of Gabriel's solo albums in the early 80s. It's a method of recording that gives the drums a slight distant reverb effect. Prince heard it, and insisted on using it on all his early 80s songs. Pretty soon nearly every music producers just used it as a standard for any rock or pop songs they recorded. But, in the early to mid 90s, people just stopped recording drums with gated reverb. I pops up here and there, and there was a resurgence of using it on some recent hits by Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Lorde, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Rihanna. I think that signature 80s sound you're talking about is rooted in that weird drum reverb that all those folks were using back then. Here is a great video on the phenomena ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bxz6jShW-3E.html.

Another song by Cutting crew is Been in Love Before. You'll love it and Amber you would cry. I do every time I hear it. Just beautiful

I love it when you guys do the 80s. Takes me back to high school.

Y'all will LOVE LOVE LOVE "Come on feel the Noise" by Quiet Riot. They were the 1ST 80s Hair Metal band to go #1 on the Billboard top 100 charts. Fun song and one of THE BEST guitar solo of All time. Not kidding!

This song was Cutting Crew's debut hit. This song went all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1987. By the way, this group is not a one-hit wonder act. They had two other songs that hit the Billboard Top 40 in the same year. One for the Mockingbird was their second Top 40 hit. It only peaked at #36. But their third and last Top 40 cracked the Top 10 in the fall of 1987. It called I Been in Love Before. It peaked at #9. You guys should react to that song as well.

The 80's were phenomenal!!! Great music!!! All kinds...🎵🎶

If you're into 80's pop rock, may I suggest Mr. Mister "Kyrie Eleison" or "Broken Wings". Both are so catchy

You know I am not a people person but you guys seriously make me feel like we are best buds. Y'all just bring a smile to my face. Thanks.

Cutting Crew's expansive ballad "I've Been In Love Before" warms my heart even after listening to it for years.

The 80's were full of one hit wonders more than any other decade in the history of civilization combined. You barely just scratched the surface with all the 80's music you've reacted to.

You are right about the 80’s. I never thought about it while growing up. I only began to appreciate this after watching these reactions. Now I feel totally blessed to have been a part of that era. I was in my 20’s! We just took it for granted at the time.

Those of us that were teens during the music version of MTV, had the best teen years... It was such a great time to be alive.

It's an 80's song that never made it into an 80's movie. The 80's movies that featured the Brat Pack really give an insight into 80's music:. Breakfast Club, St Elmo's Fire, etc

Cutting Crew also did a song called “I’ve Been In Love Before”. It did hit the top 40 charts.

Terry Jacks - Seasons in the Sun - 1974. Bit of a tear jerker, in the right (or wrong) mood, but worth a listen.

Here's another 80s one hit wonder, I Ran(So far away) by a Flock of Seagulls. The band is also known for their hair, especially the lead singer.

80s one hit or two hit list is long because of the second British Invasion and German performers. Here are but a few one hitters . Melt with You- Modern English Pop Muzik- M I Want Candy-Bow Wow One Thing Leads to Another- The Fix Der Komissar-Falco Somebody’s Watching Me -Rockwell 99 Luft Balloons- Nena Safety Dance- Men without Hats And if you are looking for truly unusual Din Da Da -George Krantz (breakdance DJ hit) Da Da Da -Trios (a truly simple piece of ear candy) and so many more

"I just died in your arms" was apparently a phrase that the writer of the song used as a euphemism for achieving orgasm. He derived it from the French phrase "le petit mort", which is what the French say for that same achievement.

The 80s just has to be the era of greatest music. Just great vibe, fun music, fun style...I kinda wish I could have lived in that time.

You guys have to do "Life in a Northern Town" by the Dream Academy,Under the Milky Way by The Church or Drive by the Cars

Great song from 1986, released to America in 1987. There were so many great songs back then, this one was always memorable to me. It hit #1 in America, Poland, Norway, Finland, and Canada. Still listening in 2021.

The 80’s had, and still has the very best music EVER!! Great bands with fantastic frontmen! I can’t see any other decade measuring up! Unlimited Awesome Bands that can’t even all be mentioned!! I’ll listen to this music all the way thru my funeral!!!

I was a freshman in high school when this song came out & went to #1. I remember a girl in my English class telling the teacher about it & reciting some of the lyrics. I hadn't heard it yet, but that changed drastically when it got heavy airplay. The song isn't supposed to fade out. It has an ending with the keyboard chord hits that you heard a few times in the song. They also had a hit with "I've Been In Love Before." It's more mellow, and very cool!

Someone suggested movie soundtrack songs and I want to second that. So many great songs from movies. Perhaps a Movie theme monday?

There's a sense of melancholy, of longing, in so much 80s music that makes it instantly recognizable as from the 80s. (I say that as an ancient Goth born in the 60s.) This is definitely one of those songs.

If you love 80s as much as I do then I request you listen to: Bonnie Tyler "holding out for a hero" and Pat Benatar "Invincible" for Female Friday. They are the perfect, quintessential 80s female empowerment ballads. Plus they are the lead songs to 2 incredible movies.

I've always loved this song. Never really heard anything else from the group, but I was always impressed by this track. Top-notch production, great songwriting both lyrically and musically. Very much ahead of its time.

This track is SO 80s. The 80s are so influential that there is now a current genre dedicated to emulating the sound - "Synthwave". Check out some music from current Synthwave artists like 'The Midnight', 'Timecop1983', and 'FM-84' and you'll hear songs that sound like they came from a John Hughes movie that never got made.

80s were so good. I just can’t imagine people in 40 years discovering great songs from the 2020s. Surely instantly forgotten

What a memorable song ❤I miss the 80s it was the best time of my life as teenager 👍

Cutting Crew has another big hit called "I’ve Been In Love Before". Is a soft rock ballad.

Another song with a similar vibe is Promises, Promises by Naked Eyes. I liked it during the 80s, but it's become one of my favorites in the past few years.

The Stray Cats are a unique band even for 1981..think they would be classified a rockabilly. "Rock This Town" and "Stray Cat Strut" were big for them...

God bless the 80's!! I consider myself a fortunate son (CCR) to be a teen during this decade and able to listened to so much of this on the radio and on MTV. And I'm so glad to see both of you discovering and loving these same songs and videos!! And speaking of "one hit wonders", the 80's was full of them. Maybe you can do a "One Hit Wonder Wednesday"? Some 1HWs...Kajagoogoo “Too Shy”...Nena “99 Luft Balloons”...Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock “It Takes Two”...Neneh Cherry “Buffalo Stance”.

If y'all wanna hear another awesome song in this kind of 80's pop-rock/ballads, check out. "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx, just might give you both goosebumps.

Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves is a good one-hit wonder from the 80s. I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz is another one. There were many great one-hit wonders in the 80s.

this is one of my fave songs of the 80s, as well as Boys of Summer (Don Henley), Broken Wings (Mr Mister), Life is What you Make it (Talk Talk), Night Games (Graham Bonnet) and True (Spandau Ballet)....just all amazing songs that you need to check out!

I was a teenager growing up in 80s in the UK. This tune and many more from this decade are so close to my heart. Much love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

This was written by Cutting Crew English pop rock band lead singer Nick Van Eede, who was inspired by a real relationship. Says Nick: "Yes, I cannot tell a lie. It's a song written about my girlfriend (who is actually the mother of my daughter). We got back together for one night after a year apart and I guess there were some fireworks but all the time tinged with a feeling of 'should I really be doing this?' Hence the lyric, 'I should have walked away.' 1986.

80s music is so powerful. Pure emotions.

The 80's were such a creative time musically, everything was new and innovative, a rebellion against soft rock and disco. 😀

Mister Mister, Level 42 and Culture Club are 80's pop Icons that need to be heard asap!

You want to hear a fun 70's song that was a One Hit Wonder, then check out Carl Douglas singing “Kung Fu Fighting”

For me, the most romantic song of the 80s will always be "Hands to heaven", by Breathe. You guys should give it a try.

I was a teenager when this song came out, reminds me of my first love & break up. Just one of my favorite songs to listen to that makes me very happy & very sad at the same time!

I see some lists below for other 80s one hit wonders, but have yet to see Taco - Puttin' On The Ritz. Unique sound, unique beat, unique video. It is one of those you'll either love...or scratch your heads wondering why anyone would listen to it. Give it a shot!!

You’ve got to do Fine Young Cannibals, “She Drives Me Crazy”! Still the greatest 80s song ever! Amber will swoon! The lead singer was an actor for a short time! He had such an unusual look, he was once listed as one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world! Roland Gift. And such an unusual voice too! Their name came from an early 60s movie with Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood about rich young idle people with nothing to do!

So many songs have great vocals and musicians. What it boils down to is if you like the song. I can't think of ONE group's songs of which I like ALL of them TRULY. These "one hit wonders" encapsulate the history of music.

I love this song. I remember being like maybe 8-9 years old (I'm 37 so this a while back, lol), I was on a plane and I was singing this song out loud and my mom was trying to get me to be quite. I still sing random songs out loud in random places. I used to sing "You're the One That I Want" from Grease at work... it was a call center.

You gotta hit the band Tears For Fears. They were my favorite for that style of 80's music!

I suggest "Emotions" by Samantha Sang, written by and back up singing by the group that you guys will know!

If you like this 80’s band...you’re gonna Love the Hooters!!!! Totally irresistible!♥️♥️♥️...Start with And We Danced!! You won’t want it to stop💋.

You need to do their other son "I've been in love before". Such a beautiful song and Amber will definitely be swaying to it!

Here's a great one-hit wonder of the 80's: "At This Moment" by Billy Vera & The Beaters. It was made popular from its airplay on the TV show "Family Ties." That show literally made it a hit, and it went to #1. I don't think it would've even charted if it wasn't for that show.

More 80s!!! OMD and Flock of seagulls are amazing

My dad used to play this song in his car when he was carrying me to school in mornings when I was a little kid. Great times!

80s had so many sounds, styles, genres and sub genres it was so awesome especially hearing so many styles from all over the world 🌎

The 80s were the best! It was kind of a stew of pop/rock/punk/groove/soul. Can’t go wrong with the 80s. There is something for everyone! “ROCK THE CASBAH” by The Clash!

Check out "Super freak" by Rick James. "Hot legs" by Rod Stewart. "She's a beauty" by the Tubes.

"(I Just) Died in Your Arms" is the debut single by the English pop rock band Cutting Crew, from their debut studio album, Broadcast (1986). It was first released on 25 July 1986 in the United Kingdom, and then released to the United States on 1 January 1987. The song was written by frontman Nick Van Eede, produced by Terry Brown, John Jansen and the band, and mixed at Utopia Studios in London by Tim Palmer. The power ballad[1] is the band's biggest hit, peaking at number one in the United States, Canada, Norway, and Finland, and reaching the top five in the UK, South Africa, Sweden, and Switzerland.

I can listen to this song over and over again. Just love it

This entire album is fantastic. So underrated.

Great vocals, classic 80s. Sadly, they kind of fizzled out after their first album, but not before having a couple more hits - "One For the Mockingbird" and "I've Been In Love Before". The lead singer's name is Nick Van Eede. My recommendations for 80s one hit wonders are "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats, "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora, "Perfect Way" by Scritti Politti, and "Rock Me Amadeus" by Falco. Anyone agree?

One hit wonders, Marmalade "Reflections of my Life." It came out in 1969 and although the band was around for some time, this was their one big hit song.

The 80's was magical. Wish I could experience it all over again 💜

Close to a one hit wonder from the 80's. they had a few songs, but this one is usually the only one anyone remembers.

I have looked at this song as a near-perfect example of pop songcraft. Great production, arrangement and melodicism. Catchy chorus, two solid solos, smooth vocal performance and great ending. It also has great pacing and song length. No part of it wears out its welcome and every part fits the song extremely well.

I feel so privileged to have been a teenager growing up through the 80s. Neon love to you both.

Officially Cutting Crew had two top 10 hits from their debut album "Broadcast" with "I Just Died In Your Arms" being a number 1 hit and "I've Been In Love Before" making it to number 9 so technically they are not a one hit wonder group, but they never had any of their songs since chart at all. They are a British band and are still recording music, but the lead guitarist from this video died in 2002 and they broke up for a while until they replaced him.

A few more good ones from the ’80s: “Swing” by Japan, “You Did Cut Me” by China Crisis, and “Shattered Dreams” by Johnny Hates Jazz.

Y'all have got to listen to the new remake of Reba's big hit "Does He Love You?" with Dolly Parton. This song was huge in the 90s for Reba, but this time she just redid it with Dolly, who she has actually never sang on a record with, and they both still sound amazing with Reba now being 66 and Dolly being 75.

Cutting Crew's I've Been In Love Before (1987) is also a great listen.

I can sing every word to this sing but I forgot how gorgeous the cello is. ❤️

THE HOOTERS "ALL YOU ZOMBIES" & "AND WE DANCED" (BOTH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEOS)

"I've Been in Love Before " is another one by them.

They were a one hit wonder here in the States. Over in their home, England they got back together after a short split and started making music again.

Had the absolute pleasure of seeing this band live along with Go West, Wang Chung, Flock of Seaguls and our own home grown Phesudo Echo in 2019 1 month before lockdown hit. I must say that this band along with many I've seen still sound as good as they did 35 years ago. Long live the 80s ❤

One hit wonder suggestion: "The Impression That I Get" by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Wanna understand the 80's sound? Most all studios that recorded songs back then used a dytronics tri-chorus rack effect... it's heard in most of the songs recorded in the 80's....instantly recognizable...it's really simple as that.

Their album Broadcast was brilliant,this track was a debut smash hit and was followed by I've been in love before and One for the mockingbird which was in my opinion the best of the lot..

Songs that were hits were used in movies and commercials. So alot of people have heard parts of them over the years. ty

80s has the most timeless sounds

Some other great one hit wonders are the 80's "Voices Carry" by 'Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann, the 90's "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals, and also check out the New Zealand group Crowded House, which technically had 2 hits - "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Something So Strong".

A great one hit wonder from the 80's is Aztec Camera - Somewhere in my Heart. You will love it 😀 Also the one that never fails to whisk me back to the 80s is Chesney Hawkes - I am the one and only 👍

Those were the days I’m 51yrs old and just the intro is fire , good song when your driving with your girlfriend and holding her hands so classic 🙏🏻🇱🇦

In the spirit of the approaching holiday, I offer this one-hit wonder : "Monster Mash" by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt-Kickers. It's from 1962 and I absolutely loved it! I was about 6 years old.

A few one hit wonders to check out: Timbuk 3 - The Future’s So Bright When In Rome - The Promise Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now Romeo Void - Never Say Never

I always loved this song but for the life of me I couldn’t have named who sang it, so thanks for giving me a band for this 80’s hit.

I was born in 61, so I’m stuck in the 70s when it comes to music. I remember being in the clubs in my early 20s dancing to this song. It was one of my favorite songs of the 80s.

If you want to hear something different from the 80s, I’d recommend The Smiths. “There’s a Light That Never Goes Out”, “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” (this was in Never Been Kissed, as well), “This Charming Man”, “Bigmouth Strikes Again”, “Frankly, Mr. Shankly”, and so many more.

When I first heard this song, I thought it said "I just diet in your arms tonight". I pictured a guy in his women's arms eating salad and drinking slim fast. Heck of a diet. I was relieved when I figured out the true lyrics, it made much more sense

Luba..Everytime I see your picture sung w such soul...she wrote it about her dad...beautiful song...such heart in it! I haven't found a response on it yet...you won't forget it

My teenage years were in the 80's and this is one of my most favorite songs. When you are looking for one hit wonders this is one. Its a Dutch band and they had more songs but only 1 hit, this one. It also was their downfall because they couldnt do it again and the band fell apart. City to City - The Road Ahead, the year 1999.
