Week 116: George Michael Week! #5 - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go 

This has a Motown influence, total genius, he never wrote the music down he had it all in his head yes he was a beautiful man, total genius, it was the fashion in the eighties, he has a voice to die for❤

Who's doing songs like this these days? A song that makes you feel happy, so alive and overall good vibes and energy.

Rollerblading on butter, you just summed it up!!!!!!!!

He got the name of this song from a note that said wake me up before you go!! Genius

George Michael has an all time great voice. It reminds me a little of Whitney Houston in that it’s a very strong mid-range combined with a super clear head voice and upper tones. Something about their tone is very lush and warm.

Tolles Video. Es hat Spaß gemacht euch zu zusehen wie viel Spaß ihr dabei hattet.

Didn't see this one coming. There kinda needs to be at least 2 George Michael Weeks - one with Wham! and one Solo! And for the Best, most underrated Wham song/video: I'm Your Man !!

yes the KING he's well known but so underrated, he deserve legendary status

I still have my Choose Life t-shirt! Age 70

I was a kid in 1984-1985, and I swear, everyboy used to use a T Shirt like this one!

Lovin all these reaction vids to George Michael and Wham. 😍

RU-vid has just fed me you two watching It’s Raining Men and now this puppy. I’m having the best evening ever.

George Michael Week ❤

George's shorts are called Dolphin shorts and we used to wear them back in the 80's... mostly women and very few men. George pulled them off beautifully ❤🥰 BTW, that is George and Shirley (blonde singer) dancing in the black light.

In an interview, George said he would sing some in a softer female tone and some parts in a heavier masculine tone. To me, its amazing how he thought about a song. Like in father figure, the finger snap sounds. In the studio he couldn't find the right sound the way he heard it in his head. It came about accidently i think. He realized that was the sound he wanted and added it till it sounded right.

My phone ringtone. ❤ Total strangers smile when they hear it.

I love Georgie! You guys are so funny. You smiled through the whole video. After all these years I can't listen to this song without smiling😀😃😄😁😊☺💞💞💖💖

❤ George 🎉his father was actually from Cyprus 😅

The amount of joy and happiness watching you guys bopping around and smiling away to such an epic and legendary song is classic! Just absolutely love you guys reacting to my childhood and teenage years. Fantastic! S,S,Say WHAM!

One of my favorite songs it’s just so happy!! Love y’all’s reaction

If your feet ain't tapping - check your pulse! You're probably dead!

It would be fantastic if you guys did a Wham! week. Another one you can’t stop moving to is I’m your Man and the Edge of Heaven!

Oh the memories 😩

You gotta do Club Tropicana.

My favourite male singer! His tone was absolutely gorgeous. Wham were the first posters on my bedroom wall! Favourite Wham song is Edge Of Heaven. Wake Me Up is second, such a fun happy song. Written all because Andrew wrote a note to his mum that said "wake me up up before you go go", and George saw it. Favourite George song will always be A Different Corner.

You might need 2 weeks. The best songs are his live performances "Killer/Papa Was a Rolling Stone", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", and Somebody to Love". Seeing these performances makes you realize how great his voice is and how effortlessly he sings.

I hope Too Funky is on the list I love Georgie!!!!

The Jitterbug was a very upbeat popular dance from the 30’s and 40’s.

Looove George Michael, this list is already great ☺️

He is a gorgeous man…🥰

I think George and MJ both have similar qualities in their tones. Both smooth and androgynous.

I just remember seeing this video and thinking his hair was so perfect lol and his shorts was so cute and so was he lol love this song

Seeing Joe genuinly love something is so rare is beautiful to see it's like seeing a rainbow. I love it. And I love the fact that no matter how many times u guys watch something u still give fresh reactions. I'm subbed to a lot of reactors and the minute they say they know the song I turn it off cos they just lip-synch the whole time rather than give any reactions. Like when u reacted to Celine's It's All Coming Back for the 2nd time it was even better than the first time. This means this channel will never run out of songs to react to.

You guys are so funny! Great reaction! George is an amazing singer. Looking forward to the other George Michael posts. Thanks guys! ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Joe has great taste!

Masterpiece and I just love both of you. So authentic and full of life energy!

The irony of the line "I'm not planning on going solo"

George said, "Set dressed him.... but NOBODY asked him to roll his eyes.... that was him trying to understand why no one could tell he was gay. I love that quote. Duran Duran may have used black light also.

Soooo happy watching this. ❤❤❤❤

And what's fun to notice is that his speaking voice and accent doesn't give his singing style away!

omg love george rip my king ❤❤ hope you guys do everything she wants and one more try !!

@weeklytop5 this video is the most brothers moment you two have shared so far that I’ve seen. I love it!!

Freeze frames, hoops, fingerless gloves...what more can you ask for? If you go as George for Halloween, you guys are going to be showing off your strawberry marshmallows and chicken legs.🤣🤣🤣 I use to put on this record and dance around the living room.

I love this reaction, it's almost as infectious as the song 😅 so funny.

❤❤❤ you guys should wear these outfits in your next movie.

Wham.... loved George Michael!!!!

Great choice! I love George Michael

Yes, George Michael!!

Yes!! I love this song. I cannot hear this without visualising the Zoolander gasoline fight, what an epic moment in cinema. 😂 George Michael is great, we better be getting some Careless Whisper sexy saxophone this week!

Yes, he has a great and seductive voice.. maybe is not so popular because it was jazz and not a pop song, but with the song "kissing a fool", with the jazzy club melody and his voice one feels so seduced by him....

My high school crush🥰

His teeths are brighter than my future

I saw an interview with him regarding the inspiration behind this song many years ago. I don't remember if it was his niece or his bandmate's younger sister, but they were scheduled to leave the house early for a red eye flight and she left a note saying " Wake me up before you go go", which they later made a song about.

I NEED A MANDY MORE WEEK! #5 - only hope #4 - it’s gonna be love #3 - Cry #2 - I wanna be with you #1 - Candy

Up to recently I’ve only watched your Eurovision reactions which I find fascinating as someone from Europe, but Whitney and now George. Two of my all time favourites may they RIP

If you’re talking 80’s voices, you need to look at A-ha. I’m guessing you know the song Take on Me, but the follow up The Sun Always Shines on TV is even better. The singer is called Morten Harket,(he’s a Norwegian hotty). How much will this cost me?!! They’re a great band. Morten had the world record for the longest note ever held and the band themselves had the world record for the biggest paid audience ever in South America. Do you know them or have they passed you by? Am I just old?

Jitterbug is also a dance

I have to give my faves! George Michael: IMHO The best. A Different Corner(my personal fave song, ever, by any artist) Jesus To A Child (written about his partner that died from AIDS related complications, his entire album, Older, is dedicated to him) One More Try Fast Love (If possible watch video, it's amazing) Freedom 90 (Video is STUNNING! TOP models of 90's featured. It's an autobiographical song, watch his video for Faith first and at least one Wham! video to put the lyrics into better context) Monkey Praying For Time Spinning The Wheel, great jazzy number with a powerful message about HIV/AIDS. Somebody To Love (from the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. He KILLED it. ) Outside (Personally love this one just for the sheer balls shown by making a song about his own arrest) White Light (Which to be honest, since his death, breaks my heart every single time, as does Last Christmas) Waiting For That Day Older Heal The Pain I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) his duet with Aretha Franklin. (He was a powerful duet partner. He knew how to let the others shine, from Whitney Houston, Mary J Blige, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, the list is impressive.) ...ummm, basically his entire catalogue. LoL Wham!: Club Tropicana Young Guns (Go For It) Everything She Wants Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do) Where Did Your Heart Go The Edge Of Heaven Battlestations I'm Your Man (Extended Stimulation Remix, I love the cheeky bit they added in the car part) Blue

As Naomi Campbell said in the freedom documentary, there’s no voice like George’s! George himself said there are songs he sings where he sounds like a girl. Unintentional, but definitely there.

Jitterbug is a dance.

Since we are throwing lists about, would love to see an N.E.R.D week! 😊 1.N.E.R.D - Rockstar 2. N.E.R.D - Lemon ft Rihanna. 3.NE.R.D - She Wants to Move 4.N.E.R.D - Hot n Fun 5. N.E.R.D - Hypnotize You

This came out when I was 14 and George Michael made me realise I was gay lol

The Zoolander theme song !

every girl wanted to look like Diana in those days.. thats why . :-)

Weekly Top 5 Ashlee Simpson: 5. Shadow 4. L.o.v.e 3. Boyfriend 2. La La 1. Pieces of Me

Hey guys, so I was hoping y'all would do a week 2 for MJB. These videos listed are a bit more storytelling/cinematic. I think you two would enjoy. 1. All That I Can Say 2. Deep Inside 3. Take Me As I Am 4. One ft. U2. 5. Whole Damn Year. All of em are dope. Love the channel btw, been on board with you guys a little over a year now. I always look forward to your reactions to some of our favorite artists. Also, I admire you guys examining of music videos-from fashion, jewelry, locations, etc. Not to mention, y'all are hilarious af frfr. But I hope you guys get around to checking out the list for week 2. Much love & God bless 🙏🏾 🫶🏾🤍 ..

Love George!!! “Wake Me Up” is iconic but wouldn’t be in my top 5 at all

❤

Fake teeth veneers or caps his hair was always wild his sister was his hairdresser

Yes! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

DO “FREEDOM” BY GEROGE MICHAEL NEXT !!!

Actually you two look kinda Wham...Joe is George Michael

This might be WHam's first big hit in the US. They were popular in UK for a bit first. I get the impression that George coded a little more queer in the UK but the record company really poured on sexual ambiguity and mandated that he appear with women in his videos for the US audience.

Georgios Kyiacos Panayiotou is his full right name half greek half jewish so British born in UK lived North London Then Goring Oxfordshire.

It was the 80s

I hope you guys are doing wham rap and young guns

😂😂😂

I was at a day spa, Day, D-A-I-Y-E, okay?

This shouldn't count as a George Michael song because it's a Wham! song, so FATHER FIGURE should be on this list instead. Or KISSING A FOOL PRAYING FOR TIME ONE MORE TRY

First 🇧🇷
