There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

I was friends with David “Frenchy” O’Brien (Animotion’s drummer) through my mom (who he worked with in the Los Angeles Library system). He always used to give me & my friends tickets to his shows when he was with Red Zone and then Animotion. He would also give me tickets to other clubs when he had extras. I lost touch with him after the death of my mother in 2002. This video came up on my KZhead recommendations so I started watching it and looked up Frenchy online… That’s when I found out he passed away in 2019 at the age of 71. He was a prince of a person. My mom found him to be one of the funniest people she ever met. He was always helpful with advice for me regarding music and the bands I played in. Rest well, Frenchy. Thanks for being a beautiful soul. Say hello to my mom. ✌🏽❤️💔

OMG! Was that the library on Robertson? Because I think that’s how I got tickets 🎟️ when I was a kid. My best friend somehow knew them, and I remember talking about drums with him at the library 📚 because I played drums 🥁 as well. What a small world.

In 1985 I was a teenage metalhead, long hair, wearing the leather jacket, Iron Maiden t-shirt and smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. But I was also a music fan, so I would be taping whatever songs I felt were catchy from the radio on those shitty clear no-name cassettes. Obsession was one of them. Listened to this, pretty much all year (along with Zeppelin, Maiden, etc) on my family trip to Florida, when I skipped off school, when I got my first real job, etc. Obsession will always transport me back to 1985. That's my story.

But videos make them great to post, with some lyrics. How about Vapors Turning Japanese and Cyndi Lauper's She Bop, BOTH about masturbation, BUT Vapors is about a Serial Killer locked up, with a photo of a girl he was dating to kill, but and got a photo with. But he got caught from some other kill, and she's ok but HIS obsession. READ the lyrics on both and think on them and see i'm right lol!

@@kt1pl2 Firstly, they said stalker/creep, & I'll die on the hill that the male protagonist in that song is a creep. He straight-up ridicules, threatens, & gaslights her in the lyrics. He acts as if her accomplishments are solely due to HIS efforts. Plus when you read meaning into the lyrics, he's exhibiting stalker-like behavior, e.g. not taking "no" as an answer, not believing/wanting to abide by the fact that she says she doesn't want to see him. Perhaps he wasn't expecting a break-up, but his reaction is telling. He's not broken-hearted that she left, he's PISSED that she had the nerve to leave him without his permission. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too. Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby?"

I was at a club on the 80's night a couple of years ago. Hearing this song on a sound system suddenly reminds you why 80's music is so amazing.
@RazorFriendly3 жыл бұрын
Growing up in the 80s, my first exposure to this song was at a the roller rink as a kid. I remember it! The second this song started, the DJ brought all the house lights down but these flashing purple lights and lasers of some sort, and of course a disco ball was deployed, raining its reflections throughout the room. People starting pouring into the rink from the sidelines, and there we were, racing around the circular track with this new sound PUMPING out of the sound system, our minds blown by those synthesized blasts. There hadn't been a song like this before -- it was breaking ground. I never saw the visuals of the video until today -- personally I think the song is better, grittier, if you don't know what the singers looked like. Watching this on a laptop today delivers only a fraction of the magic that was hearing it in such a dark and kinetic setting, all of us in motion, on wheels and at speed. I would love to experience this in a roller rink again!

I was born in the mid 70s, so I consider myself an 80s kid. While I agree it was great to hear all these songs for the first time, when they came out, I disagree that 'only those who were young enough can really appreciate it'. Anyone can appreciate it, if they actually appreciate it. That's like saying only those who were in attendance of Mozart playing the piano can appreciate him. People will always appreciate it.

The music fit the over the top fashions and lifestyles (crack & cocaine) of the era. Regan endorsed excessive spending, which is what nuclear parent families did in the middle class and upper economical echelons. One thing was common with all of us who were teenagers or young adults in that era, you had to talk. If you could talk (sell, market, and communicate) you'd always find the place and people to party.

I was friends with David “Frenchy” O’Brien (Animotion’s drummer) through my mom (who he worked with in the Los Angeles Library system). He always used to give me & my friends tickets to his shows when he was with Red Zone and then Animotion. He would also give me tickets to other clubs when he had extras. I lost touch with him after the death of my mother in 2002. This video came up on my KZhead recommendations so I started watching it and looked up Frenchy online… That’s when I found out he passed away in 2019 at the age of 71. He was a prince of a person. My mom found him to be one of the funniest people she ever met. He was always helpful with advice for me regarding music and the bands I played in. Rest well, Frenchy. Thanks for being a beautiful soul. Say hello to my mom. ✌🏽❤️💔
He look straight gangsta on nem drums! Animotion most definitely woulda been invited to the cookout in da hood. The Human League would most definitely be invited too!💙🤗
Thanks for sharing 👍
I'm friends with Paul (on the Keys) what a fantastic person he is. So happy this music will live forever
OMG! Was that the library on Robertson? Because I think that’s how I got tickets 🎟️ when I was a kid. My best friend somehow knew them, and I remember talking about drums with him at the library 📚 because I played drums 🥁 as well. What a small world.
@@theunknownatheist3815 Frenchy worked with my mom for years at the Palms/ Rancho Park location on Overland Ave. However… Frenchy did work out of many different branches. He would go fill in, etc. He was a sweet guy and ALWAYS loved to talk about music be it the bands he was in or music in general.

In 1985 I was a teenage metalhead, long hair, wearing the leather jacket, Iron Maiden t-shirt and smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. But I was also a music fan, so I would be taping whatever songs I felt were catchy from the radio on those shitty clear no-name cassettes. Obsession was one of them. Listened to this, pretty much all year (along with Zeppelin, Maiden, etc) on my family trip to Florida, when I skipped off school, when I got my first real job, etc. Obsession will always transport me back to 1985. That's my story.
You just described my teen years, as well as most of my friends. A few of us had denim jackets, but other than that you described 1985 perfectly.
Back in 1985, they changed the recipie in Coke and they called it "New Coke". The result was so bad that after just 3 months, they went back to the original formula and released it as "Classic Coke".
Same, but I had outgrown metal by 1984, got my hair cut and got into Spandau Ballet, Alphaville, Modern Talking, the Cure, INXS, and other New wave/Romantic bands. Still love the classic metal bands, though.
I was 16 in 1985 so the 80's were my teen years. AMEN to what you said. I rode a Triumph motorcycle and had long hair, and denim jacket. DONT forget the rhinestones in the early 80's.
LOL dude I was 17 in 1986. Now I go to Shambhala music festival every year. I never stopped partying , Blame OG is my name. Original gamer or Old Guy
This is 100% an 80s anthem.
Anyone here in 2024? This is timeless!!!!!
Here in 2027

Godspeed and Rest in Peace to a Founding Member and original drummer for Animotion, David " Frenchy" O'Brien who passed away this past Sunday evening, January 13, 2019.
rip really sad to hear that
Such, sad news, there. R.l.P.
Noooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭
So she is your Obsession then.
God rest his soul
Astrid, the female lead, is my singing teacher. Been seeing her once a week for the last month. Great teacher, truly happy to have her guiding me through my love of singing 😎👍
Very lucky. 😍
Please let her know that she had a profound role in my experience of the music of the 1980s. The image of her as Cleopatra with MarkAnthony is iconic of the era… and she is obviously dead sexy lol
In 1985 this sounded like the future had landed on our doorstep…. Driving synth, driving lyrics… obvious sexual tension between the lead and Astrid…. I hope they hooked up in a big way.
What part of the world is this
Is she in England? Both these voices together are so great! If you see her, tell her she's a babe. She'd prolly appreciate it. Hello from Austin, TX
Thumbs up if MAXXINE sent you here
Fresh sent me here first
And Dallas Buyers Club sent me here before

Here for because my dad loves the song
WHO ARE HERE TO LISTEN IT AGAIN IN 2024 🫢🤫🤫🤫
I am!!!
Me!
Of course this kind of music we are all here🙌
I am!!! Greetings from Norway 🇧🇻 I like music from the USA my cousin lives in Boston Massachusetts 😊
It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of Animotion or not, this song is legendary.
Im a fan of the meme 🫡
one of the recent pantheon of 80's songs to appear in British TV ads
80's had the sickest keyboard riffs. Ever.
this keyboard riff is synth
Donald Haney yep the synthisizer was the king of 80s music.
The Fairlight Sound was state of the art and very popular at that time . Custom programming was required and very expensive .
Maybe thats why im obsessed
The synths combined with the sick af guitar riffs are what make '80s music unique.
Lemme guess: You're on an 80's binge too?
Always
Lol I joined an '80s Facebook group, july 4th and I graduated 1981, at 18 yrs old.. Posting all the classics I remember AND sing as a karaoke junkie turned Karaoke host, so I know them well too! But videos make them great to post, with some lyrics. How about Vapors Turning Japanese and Cyndi Lauper's She Bop, BOTH about masturbation, BUT Vapors is about a Serial Killer locked up, with a photo of a girl he was dating to kill, but and got a photo with. But he got caught from some other kill, and she's ok but HIS obsession. READ the lyrics on both and think on them and see i'm right lol!
if listening to 80s all my life is a bing. yeah :)
For some reason I'm on that 80s binge for life
For life
Incredible bassline on this track.
Sounds like the guy took lessons from John Taylor !!!!!!!!!!!!
I was barely out of high school when this hit the airwaves. I worked cleaning a K-mart store in the morning and cut grass in the afternoon. After we cut grass the boss man had a little Isuzu truck we hauled lawn mowers and stuff in and I can remember this song being played on the radio. I was young free with my whole life ahead of me.
I was born in the late 40s, so I’ve lived through the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s and the 60s and 80s are my favorite years.
I appreciate you commenting and I would like to say that you're lucky to watch the change of music over time.
I'm so jealous!! I was born in 76..grew up in the 90's as a teen...not even close to being as cool as the 80's!! 👍
The 60's and 80's have the best music imo..I was born in 80 yet the motown sound influence the 80's sound of new wave..Some songs of the 60's were remade in the 80's like Softcell's Taint Love ....There was plenty of remakes of 60's hits...
Ditto from a guy your age .
70’s are the best hands down
Their will be no decade like the 80's ever again live on 80's!
I think 1960s, 70s and 80s are unique and memorable in their own way. There won't be any other decades like these three.
Hi, the lead singer from this band is from Rochester, NY.
@@productplacement39 Bro the Ninities were the best by FAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@thedude5599 The 90s weren't that great.

Who else is here after hearing this song in the Maxxxine trailer??
Not me, I'm in jail for smashing the back window of my boyfriend's ex girlfriend's car
You know what is the biggest diferrence between music 80's and today beside quality! I think it is a humor in music videos!
This is the greatest of all stalker/creep songs out of any decade. Long live the 80s.
Yeah, and after you listen to : Police every breath you take
Other stalker/creep songs from the 80's; Every Breath You Take - The Police Infatuation - Rod Stewart Somebody's Watching Me - Rockwell
@@DP-hy4vh I'd add on The Human League's "Don't You Want Me", too...
@@NatalieValentina6 That isn't a stalker song. They had a thing and now she wants to move on and be her own person and he doesn't understand why it's suddenly blown up.
@@kt1pl2 Firstly, they said stalker/creep, & I'll die on the hill that the male protagonist in that song is a creep. He straight-up ridicules, threatens, & gaslights her in the lyrics. He acts as if her accomplishments are solely due to HIS efforts. Plus when you read meaning into the lyrics, he's exhibiting stalker-like behavior, e.g. not taking "no" as an answer, not believing/wanting to abide by the fact that she says she doesn't want to see him. Perhaps he wasn't expecting a break-up, but his reaction is telling. He's not broken-hearted that she left, he's PISSED that she had the nerve to leave him without his permission. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too. Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby?"
When I die my heaven will be the 80's
Agreed!
For those of us, who experienced the 80's. We can only hope for that, in the here after! Which wouldn't be a bad thing!
Maybe 😏 But Then Again Maybe Not 🤭
The bittersweet thing about being a late 80's baby is that we only hit adulthood once the airwaves had become saturated with trash, and the 80's classics the Gen X'ers and earlier were making were not as popular as before. Real shame, because the 80's had such great music.
I love low quality low cost 80's videos!
Remembering how much synthesizers the 80s had. Can we bring that back.
Yes. I mean I'm tryin anyway lol just started but makin progress
Analog synths
How is it the 1980s had the best videos! and its 2021 and Videos SUCK!
There's tonnes of synth in more modern music.
@@k-leb4671 You are probably right and i am not disagreeing with you but I dont't like 96% of music today! i am 60s-90s! a few artists here and there i like some songs but i am not a big fan of everything!
I live for dance music. This song in particular still fires me up... bringing a longing for the 80's night life of downtown Montreal........ it was the era of primary colors for clothing, shoulder-pads, mullets, Coke & Pepsi going at it Big-Time, the birth of rap music & break-dancing, the last episode of MASH, The Breakfast Club, Freddy's 2nd Nightmare, The Color Purple and all things 80's !! Brings back all the good memories.
Where r u sexy?
Yes, fond memories indeed.
I know how that feels. My friends did the same to me but I did not care.
I love all the 80's but no one ever made fun of me because they loved the 80's as well and my friends now like the 80's too. I still wear tye dye lol. You are the only person online though. I got rid of the people that made fun of me
Vijay Patel Breakfast Club? you ARE a dork!
Some of the music videos from this era are absolutely great. This one is so cool.
The 80s was a great time to live in in my teens to early 20s
There is a ridiculous amount of layers going on in this track..I think that's why it feels so energetic.
I think "a ridiculous amount of lines" would be closer to the truth.

If you like the 80's you're a fuckin movie star.
Perfect example of a sexy and seductive song done in good taste. Gotta love the golden age of music.
I was at a club on the 80's night a couple of years ago. Hearing this song on a sound system suddenly reminds you why 80's music is so amazing.
Growing up in the 80s, my first exposure to this song was at a the roller rink as a kid. I remember it! The second this song started, the DJ brought all the house lights down but these flashing purple lights and lasers of some sort, and of course a disco ball was deployed, raining its reflections throughout the room. People starting pouring into the rink from the sidelines, and there we were, racing around the circular track with this new sound PUMPING out of the sound system, our minds blown by those synthesized blasts. There hadn't been a song like this before -- it was breaking ground. I never saw the visuals of the video until today -- personally I think the song is better, grittier, if you don't know what the singers looked like. Watching this on a laptop today delivers only a fraction of the magic that was hearing it in such a dark and kinetic setting, all of us in motion, on wheels and at speed. I would love to experience this in a roller rink again!
I was in Middle School when the song was a hit on the radio station. I really miss the 80s
Yeah this plays and it kinda wakes ya up eh?
Movies & music =80s bliss
@@christinamarcet1780 wow. Beautifully written with great word- pictures!
This is the most 80’s thing ever.
This song has the funkiest synth groove. It’s hypnotic.
yup
80s was the FIRST real cool decade !!!! Nice memories.
When music was real and MTV ruled the world
Such an Eighties song and video...the colors, the fashion, the hair, the dancing, the 80s!
i was born in 1989 :P
Hey I am 60,but if I hear it I am 26 that time@@gabez8
Looks like Bob Paris and Tanya knight
as an 80s guy, I agree 100%
The GR8EST teenage time u could have was the 8iiieeeeesss....!!!
Bloody heck! I haven't heard this in decades. I danced and danced to this in the 80s. There were so many different clubs back then and so many dance floors. Now all there are is sports pubs with a tiny square where the owner switches on the disco lights on Friday and Saturdays. This track is awesome.
Of all the 80's memories this brings, Saturday Night's Main Event is the overriding one for me.
Right! It always stuck in my childhood Years watching it and remembering how everything was at that moment.
Damn that synth line has always hit hard. Guess that's why people are still instantly recognizing it 35 years later...
Yeah the smokin D minor chord running through this song does it. Everybody knows this song.
This and the one from Prince's 1999 are like all time faves for me
Saturday Night’s Main Event . Jesse and Vince. “I told you McMahon!”
200 volt song!
synth bass line actually
"Doctor Doctor " From The Thomson Twins convinced me that new wave can be art.
This song is so underrated its SAD
Oh my god. This video is like a buckshot of extra strength 80’s being fired into your face from every direction at once. It’s art.
The location with the swimming pool looks similar to where The Cars shot their 1984 video for "Magic."
Okay, screw it. I’m going back. Who’s coming with me?
Hot tube time machine?
Frank Lange that works!
i mean, i wasn't even alive in the 80s but i'm down.
We need to return to the 80's and warn people about 2020.
Okay.... I'll show everyone smartphones, not sure how I'll charge it though.
In 2024 and I still love it... Timeless and anthological music.

I still don't give a fuck!
Easy solution: step 1) appropriate the culture of your choice, step 2) ignore screeching, step 3) give zero fucks
Born too late to hear this song during the 80's. But born in time to hear this while driving my Stallion on the streets of GTA Vice City, oh yeah boi. 😎
I give full credit to GTA Vice City for my love of 80s music
I'm glad you guys got to experience 80's music. They were fun, creative and interesting times. There was no internet, so we made our own fun and because everything was unpredictable, life was more spontaneous. p.s. If you really want to know what the 80's were like for kids. Watch the movie The Goonies, or Super Bad. Riding bikes. Going on adventures, doing sneaky shit and riding off before we were caught ... like a wolf pack.😁🤙
Same here
As long as you were born in time to hear songs like this, you were born to hear good songs ;)

LONG LIVE THE 80's!
Only those of us who were young and having fun in the 80's can really appreciate them ! It was the BEST of times ! We embraced life and everything was fun ! Great music ! Great dancing ! Great videos ! We had it ALLLLLLL ! I would go back, in a second !!!!!
i'm a 60's child i was there...no cellphones...no social media....we didn't need it...the 70's-80's vibe was unreal...you had to be there
I was born in the mid 70s, so I consider myself an 80s kid. While I agree it was great to hear all these songs for the first time, when they came out, I disagree that 'only those who were young enough can really appreciate it'. Anyone can appreciate it, if they actually appreciate it. That's like saying only those who were in attendance of Mozart playing the piano can appreciate him. People will always appreciate it.
great videos?? u blind? we had it all, but videos nope...
Thank you Fashion Television for making this the show's theme song!!

'73 here. It is June 2023 now, thinking about how school would have been wrapping up, 5th grade for me in 1985 when this song was released. Schools out and summer is here! We would spend hours upon hours outside exploring EVERYTHING in our suburban neighborhood at the edge of farm/forest. We would get tired and go inside for short breaks and watch videos like this! Best of times...NO STUPID social media crap and cell phones to stare into like zombies. We were alive and lived life to its fullest! No regrets!

Movie matics. I wish we could wake up back in the 80s...
The music fit the over the top fashions and lifestyles (crack & cocaine) of the era. Regan endorsed excessive spending, which is what nuclear parent families did in the middle class and upper economical echelons. One thing was common with all of us who were teenagers or young adults in that era, you had to talk. If you could talk (sell, market, and communicate) you'd always find the place and people to party.

I'm struggling to think of a BAD bass line from the 80s. Is there one???
If you find yourself here. Welcome to the eighties. The world of big hair, weird styles and cheesyness and I absolutely love it and miss it.
80's music videos were awesome, so pretencious. like the record company said "heres a video camera and a dressing up box, fill your boots".
I love Bill's expression when he sings "All my goodness has turned to badness.".

The ultimate 80s song and video. Sometimes I think "Someone should remake this song." Then I realize, why?? How can anyone improve on this?
I don't think any of today's artists could put any respect on this classic.
by finding amelia earhardt already! she dressed up like her now find her in the bedroom of dude possibly in a space suit locked and the case would end!!!!!
I have watched this video a hundred times, or more. Every time, Astrid gets more attractive.
I was a teen when this song came out. And i remember how controversial it was to i want to sleep with on rhe radio. So every station changed it to i want to BE with you. Seems pretty tame compared to these days
I love this band. This is one of my favorites from the 80s. Anyone else!? An underrated classic for sure.
No i dont like it. Just foolin i love it too!!!
It's one of those absolutely perfect songs isn't it there seemed to be so many gems from the 80s I can only assume that the work ethic was creating art and now it's about success and profit somewhere along the way the music business sold out

I love how 80s music was so over the top. today's music is sadly lacking.
I'm part of that mini generation born in the late 70s-early 80s. born 1980. half X half Milennial. I have the qualities of both
it's a gray area. I tend to group myself more strongly with millenials. I can see a big difference between someone born in say 1975 vs 1980. I was too young to get into MTV till it was already on its way out in the mid 90s. Millenials are more likely to still be living with their parents after 25. I definitely fit into that category, even working full time.
Somebody was saying the same thing back then.
+coolbluelights. well a 36 year old is to old to be millennial. they are 25 and younger. Anyone that watched He Man when it was new in the 1980s is not the new generation. lol.
