Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days - 7/6/1986 - Ritz 

Part of me never left.

Yeah, but we can't. It was wonderful!

Who wouldn't want? Appeals to my immortal inner child

Best decade of my life. Young, energetic, great music, great friends, reckless...love every minute of it!

Me.

and no effing cell phones. AND we didn't need them !!

Everyone; including those not there at the time... When Frankie said?

Indeed 💯

Yes is true 😢

I mean, billy idol, duran duran, The Cars, Stray cats, cyndy lauper, go gos, inxs, etc kind of changed everything. Hippie days were gone. Edgy synth music or new wave rock was in.

Honestly, both the 70s and the 90s were cooler than the 80s... But this song was one of the better moments.

Jamás los 80 no tienen comparación, todas las grandes bandas de la historia de la música tienen su mejor momento en los 80's. El 31 de diciembre de 1989 prácticamente se murió la buena música!!!!

The 80s was incredible...All the new sounds coming out all the time. The new wave was exciting, the ska /mod scene in so cal was fun. It was a good set up for the 90s. Hasn't been anything like it since. I was so bummed when MTV started to play the glam rock/GNR ...I knew the times were coming to a close.

There's nothing like the 80S. Those years live in your heart and linger a lifetime.

I agree mostly, but the 90’s we’re pretty good too. Not as good as 80’s but good

@@jamesdipinto5076 Agreed. The 90s were the tail end. By 2000 it was over.

90s were a blast tbh

In ALL genres too

Well the 90/s were badass 😂

Agree, the 80's were some of the best of times , we have to keep on rocking out cheers .

Well said!!

Now they scratch records, shoot each other and call it art.

@@at1970 sad world we live in

@@brianmishler9274 I’d go back in a minute

Lmfao. Same.

Ha! I remember some of the true rockers who secretly liked some top 40 stuff and barely admitted it to their closest friends very reluctantly 😂😂

😂😂You’re a dude who looks like a lady-AREOSMITH 😂😂😂😂😂

As a kid in the 80s and 90s I never understood why people of a "hard genre" that wasn't mainstream friendly like hard heavy metal or hard gangsta rap couldn't be seen listening or liking anything else, or else their image would be ruined.

i got your back man as black sabbath raised 80s priest maiden metallica metal head this is one of my favorite songs of all time

U and me both dude . I was born in 2002 lol . I gotta thanks my parents for good taste in music and also remember in vice city

@@KittyMike32202 2002, you make me feel so old. LoL. I'm probably your parents age. But your lucky to have parents that have exposed you to this music. I'm grateful to have been born at a time to have experienced the 80's fully. All of my teen and high school years were in the 80's. The 80's were just a special time. At the time we just didn't know it. Regards to your parents for exposing you to this great music. Younger generations just don't appreciate how great those times were. The fact that you do understand just makes me happy....

@@Malcontent- 80s will live on for every lol I'm only 20 but still a youngster

@@KittyMike32202 no shame in that. music touches all generations. no bias. .

Do you go out of your way to include the word “just” in every sentence?

i was born 84 and feel its engrained in my psyche. one of my fav songs ever. wish i couldve lived it.

This came out in 83.

We never left…the world did…

Me too 😂😂😂😂

C'mon !! Let get into that time machine, ready ? Set ? Goooooooooo !!!!! 🥳🥳🍺🍺🍺🥳🥳🥳♥️♥️🥳🥳🥳😎😎

Acoustic snare. Thats a pity.

That was as perfect as perfect gets that sax at the end was incredible. Man, I miss the 80s

One of the best!

@Keyboardman88 "One of the best songs of the 80's." Did you mean that as a compliment, or a criticism?

That SAX!!!!

I understand exactly what you are saying. I was there myself at the same time you were. It was a great time.

you don't have to explain it. the music hits us; connects us with the bittersweet past in ways that are...ineffable. it's just magical & we can all share it.

I was 4 when this song came out but I remember it along with a bunch of WLIR New Wave bands... makes the hair on my arms stand up

I totally understand where you are coming from. Great to know people out there that experienced this great decade especially up to 85. Such fabulous music,films, life in general. We will not see its like again. It was so good but makes us so sad in other ways remembering that wonderful time.

The Orchestral version is absolutely amazing

Love the eighties

I'm the same way. I can't watch this video enough

I here to remind you of it, so you'll start watching over again.

I've watched it over a dozen times now.

And just think the drummer, has been with REO Speedwagon, for yrs now

Agree, Plus back in the 70's and 80's Musicians had real talent and didn't rely on synthesizer to make them sound good cheers .

Because real music is like a collectable antique, as it ages it gets better, maybe when compared to the rubbish we have today!

@@daynasmum529 Rubbish indeed, Sir!

Something about the chorus effect on the guitar and the tight rhythm section. Look at Tears For Fears, they're immortal as well

@@suburbanindiegood call out

I was a teenager in the 80s, there was some terrible music but this tune was class. Have a listen to New Wave 80s for the coolest stuff. 👍

I grew up in the 80's and believe me, I live those years everyday with this music. You had to live thru it, not only that, but the movies were also somehow connected to all of it. The entire 80's culture was awesome. Take a look at the video for, YOU BELONG TO THE CITY, by GLEN FREY. That video says it all.

Agree . I remember this song playing in the clubs back in the day and the dance floor would be packed . Songs like this one have no expiry date 🍷🍷

Don't we all.......well, everyone who was a kid to their 30s misses the sh!t out of those times.

Agree, i remember going to the clubs when this song came out and the dance floor would be packed , great song and memories cheers.

To close their set

We all are. If I had a time machine it would have to be as big as an ocean liner to fit everybody.

Agree , the 80's were some of the best cheers .

It really was. The sound mixer makes the difference between eh and amazing.

Ritz concert? It's that the Ritz Carlton? What do you mean? Thx

@@jerirasulo9543 the venue was called "The Ritz". many bands performed there in the 80s. well known club.

@@drinkingpoolwater oic thanks for that reply👍😁 I like your name, ' drinking pool water' funny! 😀 Take care, Jeri from Hawaii 🌴

Agree. Best time was going to the drive inn watching movies on the big screen . Sneaking in a few cold pops and picking up the chicks lol cheers .

Agree . I remember when this song was played in the clubs back in the day the dance floor would be packed 😀🍷🍷

I’m bouncing to the beat as I read this comment 👍

❤❤❤❤❤❤

mid

You got it. Then they had to start ruining it in '93, telling us that grunge was good music now.
