Lyrics:
T´ain´t no big thing
To wait for the bell to ring
T´ain´t no big thing
The toll of the bell
Aggravated - spare for days
I troll downtown the red light place
Jump up bubble up - what´s in store
Love is the drug and I need to score
Showing out, showing out, hit and run
Boy meets girl where beat goes on
Stitched up tight, can´t shake free
Love is the drug, got a hook on me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me
Late that night I park my car
Stake my place in the singles bar
Face to face, toe to toe
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Lumber up, limbo down
The locked embrace, the stumble round
I say go, she say yes
Dim the lights, you can guess the rest
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug, got a hook in me
Oh oh catch that buzz
Love is the drug i´m thinking of
Oh oh can´t you see
Love is the drug for me

The coolness of Bryan Ferry is off the charts....
When I was having my daily radiation treatments for throat cancer, I hummed this to my self while I was strapped into the mask. Ten years later, I'm alive and well, thanks to my great doctors. But I do believe love was the drug and it will always be my mantra.
+Suzanne Delaney that's a nice sentiment :)
love and luck to you.You have come through a remarkable battle.
+Vince Bevis Thanks, Vince! As battles go, it wasn't so bad, and because of a month on morphine, I can't remember the really hard part! So many others have had far more dreadful difficulties to deal with. I consider myself fortunate and happy.
+Suzanne Delaney You are far too humble Suzanne, my family has been decimated by cancer,so understand your fight.
Suzanne Delaney wow live life xxxx
John Gustafson's bass on this is simply iconic.
I think he may have influenced Bernard Edwards.
AGREED! I know this one fat guy that can fart 4 notes of this in a row!
I saw a comment a while back that said , " John Gustafson's bass line is about to steal your G/f . " Internet W.
I LOVE YOU FOR RECOGNIZING THE LATE BASSIST JOHN GUSTAFSON🎸🎙🎸🎸🎸♥️❤️🙏🤗

Bryan Ferry, showing why it is important to take the spoon out the mug before drinking your tea!
😂
made my day OMG so funny thanks
History fact, Bryan had just been to the hospital to have his eye looked at, hence the bandage under the eye patch.
The guy is an absolute legend for performing despite this!
@@mazdamaniac4643 Wow we all knew this but we did not have a sense of humor crash please learn o grow a funny bone
This is literally 1980's music and style in 1975. A band so far ahead of its time it's insane.
A NOOOO THIS IS 70s MUSIC THAT STRECHED IN THREW THE 80s ,, night night OOOO WAITE NOW ITS 80s music in the mid 70s ,, Whats next all music in the 70s was 80s music lol
So are all you 80s kids going to adopt all music from the 70s AND say the 70s never existed ?
This could have come out in the 2000's and not seem out of place
It was Nile Rodgers of chic who wanted to emulate Roxy Music
shit, if they re-released it with the bass pumped, it'd fly as a hit right now in 2021.
Life's a trip. Always old for my age my mom used to drop me off by myself at the Plano skating rink outside of Dallas when I was 7/8 1975/76. They'd play this song, Thin Lizzy Jailbreak, ZZ Top Tush, Dream Weaver, and some funky stuff from Parliament and Hot Chocolate. Disco, the best rocknroll, and the beginning of punk all in the same era. Damn glad to have been a kid in the 70's!
The best, ever, eh? The naysayers have absolutely NO idea. I feel bad for them, honestly. They have no idea how great it really was. All they can do is read about it and hack on it. I’d go back there in one hot second, and even take the angst of being a teenager again if I could do it again. I was 15 in 75.
Don’t forget you were there at the start of Star Wars too!😎👌
Swole Schwartz
Oh I still love dream weaver
A lot if life lessons in that era.
Roxy was so different and cool. It felt to me like they were always playing in a smokey nightclub with a dancefloor. The tunes to me are classic. Even the record covers were a sensation. This is one of my top favorite bands and Ferry is one of my favorite singers.
This is brilliant! I feel like Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music do not get the accolades they deserve!
Wikipedia: "In 2019, Roxy Music were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
ENO is a documentary on Tubi about Roxy...just watched it. You'll love it
@@terrytube5247 beautiful well earned deserves it. Good people great sound even better
its Duran Duran's WHOLE early Sound
When people started copying their sound , he moved on again . Some artists are always ahead. Bowie is a prime example
Even after 45 years, I still adore that great sound with this brilliant melody and that bass !!!
This beautiful song and Pink Floyd's "Money is what got me into playing Bass guitar
💗
Feels like a Chic bassline years before Chic.
the Bass is killer
YES! I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Man, that is one tight, funky rhythm section. The drums are subtle but effective for the beat, and the bass is wild. This must have been a big hit on the dance floor.
It was great in the 80ies dancing to cool music in the Disco ( today known as Club)
Oh it was! Takes me all the way back to doing that very same dance 😊
This was the first Roxy song I heard. I just didn't get it, but something kept me coming back. I have now concluded that these guys invented the 80's. I can hear it.
This was 1975 . They were way ahead of their time. 😊
They may have invented the '80s, but this song is from 1974 or 1975, LOL!
@@jamesmoconnell And that's how they invented in - formulating it before unveiling it at the proper time ;)
These back up singer women are smooth as silk as the greatest groovers and best big boppers in R 'N' R
Kind of pre Robert Palmer Addicted
Had our hired band play this song at our wedding reception in 1985 . Some did not understand if the lyrics were fitting for a wedding event, ( ? ) but that's ok! My wife and I had sang it ' live ' on stage at the event . So much fun!!! What glorious memories!!! We are still going strong after 35 years, although like others, I presume, there have been ' hiccups' along the way . One thing has NEVER changed. Our deep admiration and love of Bryan Ferry and Roxy music.
Forever and Ever ...
da lo mismo la letra...yo toque I Ran de A flock of Seagulls...tambien poco apropiado para un matrimonio.
Totally totally cool! You're a non-conformist, defying traditional tropes. Good! Love the song too! Hiccups, such is life. Congrats on your long marriage. (Dim the lights you can guess the rest.)
@@ivorykhan159 What a nice reply Ivory thank you. The ' dim the lights ' comment you made had us both laughng! Now it is 37 years of marriage and we still listen to Bryan and or Roxy at least once a week if not more. Kind of like a ' glue ' that has always given us common ground when the ' hiccups' do occur. Thanks again Ivory. Sounds like your pretty damn cool yourself! 🙂
Wow!!! 35 years... love it...
@@ronp360 - My wife and I played this song at our last concert because we’re in a band together. We’ve been married 25 years. Congratulations on almost if not 38 years by now!! Long live Bryan Ferry & Roxy Music - Cheers! 🥂
General Zod killing it on the guitar.
Seriously lol
kneel before him!
Reggae riff, before Zod
Banish him into a piece of glass and send him into space.
Hoping that Phil Manzanera gets to read this comment and appreciates the humor of it. It is spot on. UA-cam videos: 1) 04 Hot Spot 2) 03 Cuban Crisis 3) Phil Manzanera - K_Scope 1978 - full album
Timeless, catchy, seductive, what a masterpiece!
I realized way back when. This is was women like. Yeah Yeah...funk
I had to work hard flipping through the 8 track to get to this song. My fav
I must confess, I used to buy Roxy Music album's just for their hot covers, Their song's are much
hotter !!!
"Dim the lights....you can guess the rest." - One of the sexiest lines ever recorded.
Yes
Several sensual games of elimination Scrabble?
Yes but Ferry's "Windswept" has to be the sexiest song ever recorded.
After dimming the lights was when he poked himself in the eye with the teaspoon. That is my guess.
I want this bassline on my tombstone.
All right how many ppl miss the 70?😜
This 1975 song is better than anything you hear these days.
I do...
I miss the 70s!
Thank God you survived. I survived tongue and lymph node cancer 30 years ago. My faith, humor and great music like this got me through it. I wish you many happy times ahead! ❤❤❤❤🎉
One of the great songs of the 70s. Roxy Music at their peak.
Bryan Ferry rocking the eye patch 40 years before Madonna. So much going on here. Love it.
Yeah, but has ol' Madge ever really done ANYTHING original? She's now gone completely insane while Covid-19 ran it's course. Singing into hairbrushes, taking bathes in milk and really believing ANYBODY wanted to see them...🤮
A bit like saying that Poles ate cabbage before the Russians...
It wasn't a fashion statement, he had an eye injury and had to wear it.
Mind you, two centuries after Long John Silver.
LOL…… Long John Silver, yes, but the wooden leg is missing
If this song is not played at my funeral i am not going ❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂😂
lol
Talking heads road to nowhere is the one for my funeral
"One day I'm gonna fly away " for me thank you.
Best not go eh?
Could never tire of seeing him strut that stuff!
Ferry and the girls look immaculate, but the rest appear to be extras from a Woodstock concert :)
Congrats to Roxy Music for being in The Class Of 2019 Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame
yeah right, finally, huh!?!? These guys should have been inducted long ago, but industry rules...
Long fcking overdue!
Looking forward to seeing them along with St.Vincent in Boston in September.Will be epic!
@@kevmac1230 roxy music and st. Vincent were wonderful at msg nyc sept 12 2022!
@@helenesteinberg7189 I saw them on 4-11 and unfortunately St.Vincent didn't appear at Boston.I don't know why but Roxy Music was epic!
One of the best songs of 1975, if not the best. How much I love this song I cannot convey in mere words.The groove just never lets up. A definite influence on Nile Rogers' sound.
Nile steals this fórmula from Jimmy castor
That's a ridiculous statement! 70s had a wealth of talent! Abba..bee gees Acdc!!!!
Hi Anthony!!
So sublime are some melodies that they deny easy explanations.
We are meant to struggle to explain how deeply some songs move us. That's How it feel when we are moved to love something, perhaps even more so with " love is the drug"
You can imagine the struggle Bryan had in composing it.
While we enjoy the finished product we often don't know the background to the minstrel's struggle.
😀🖤😊🎶
BOHMION RHAPSODY by , QUEEN BRUCE SPRING STEEN BORN TO RUN ,, SLOW RIDE By FOGHAT SWEET EMOTION and WALK THIS WAY by AREOSMITH ,Were Released in 1975 So this was not the best song of 1975 ,,

That bass line, mixed with Brian ferry and his beautiful voice make this song all the better
Bass line is sick

Happy 75th Birthday Bryan Ferry
Still great after all these years! Roxy Music!
Sexiest beat in history.

U got that right.
Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug 0605am 8.10.23 you know yerv made the grade when you are forced to don an eye patch.. as many have over the years.... i was forced to wear a pink one after having flag stone chips spray into my eye as i wielded a Stihl saw. heat days...
Sleazy, Cynical and ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! Roxy Music at it's very best!
Duran Duran owes it to this.
Why do you think that? Just out of interest, love both :)
Dam right…if you don’t know Roxy, you might think this is off of Rio….
Got Rio/Hungry vibes…
And Talking Heads
And Japan ......
Bowie was interviewed around 74 and said "Roxy Music are the only group worth listening to".
General Zod killing it on the guitar.
All right how many ppl miss the 70?😜
I said "Kneel Before Zod"
She said "Yes"
Dim the lights
You can guess the rest.
I miss the erections
AND zod WILL BOW TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. I came on hear to be a witness For my REDEEMER the Lord Jesus Christ who i love deeply.
General Zod hahahahaha
Bowie needed to get out more.
Bowie was interviewed around 74 and said "Roxy Music are the only group worth listening to".
Bullshit, he was a Kraftwerk nut.
Bowie was so demented from drug abuse I'm surprised he could put a coherent sentence together *let alone work* as much as he did
ジュテームジュテーム
worth for listening but not worth watching.
urrmm who supported them on the last Spiders gig ?
This is the first song I heard. The first 3 seconds and I was jumping over my bed to my tape recorder. I could tell it was gonna be epic.
One of the best bass lines ever. Genuinely genius level posters. Adore you Roxy yk
Oh my god, this is so gorgeous! Blows almost everything else away. Still after all those years.
1975
Definitely something about Bryan in a uniform........😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bryan Ferry is smokin' hot! One of their best songs.
One of my all time favourite songs. Love the groovy bass of John Gustafson and Bryans voice is amazing as always. There is no day that I am not listening to Roxy Music!
Dominating bass line that's like a jungle beat...Amazing song considering how old it is...
What a time to be a teenager...every song on the radio a masterpiece. Spoilt for choice was we.
Well, not entirely. For every Roxy Music there was a Minnie Riperton. And don't forget Gilbert O'Sullivan, Terry Jacks, Starland Vocal Band, Paper Lace, etc. Actually we *WOULD* like to forget about them.
Thankfully there was CHOM-FM out of Montreal, which reached all the way into Northern Vermont. There you could hear Sparks, Patti Smith, Ian Dury, David Bowie, T-Rex, and of course, Roxy Music amongst plenty of other better yet lesser known music.
@@SenileOtaku Minnie Riperton? No way, absolutely glorious voice. The song might have been a bit corny, but her voice made it something ethereal. Afternoon Delight was a coffee break song, a quick escape from the books to make a drink so as not to miss the next song. And I still know every word to Billy..and I’m 60. Every alternate you listed to the corny stuff is the music that I was actually into, but even the bad stuff was so bad it was good. These days bad music is just bad, and not in a Michael Jackson way.
@@virginiaviola5097 Well, back in high school I tolerated them (far fewer options for alternative music back then, especially in the Northeast Kingdom). In the 80's I picked up on Punk, the 90's was Belgian Techno, and these days it's Vocaloid, Touhou Doujin, Japanese trance/techno, and various music from anime. Doesn't mean I've stopped listening to Roxy Music et al, just an expanded selection now. I'm 63 and always open for what's happening in the alternative/independent scene.
Rocking and Rolling catchier than the most contagious disese.❤RM was such a magnificant band.
Wow Brian Ferrari has such class...what a trooper , singing with a patch over his failed eyebrow transplant...what a hero...seriously, love Roxy and Ferry and Co have great taste in backing singers and album cover models
Saxophones were the gangster brass!!! The back story of Adolphe Sax is quite entertaining!!!
This beauty 💎 is ripe with the *Fantastic* bass 🎸 lines of the late-Great Johnny Gustafson (1942-2014) ! 0:14 ..and Andy Mackay on 🎷!! 2:37 💕 🇬🇧 ... "Siren" album (1975) 🧜
This song and Both Ends Burning off Siren were, and still are, two of my favorites. So deep yet so superficially cool.
Bryan Ferry is so thoroughly cool.
this is a really hot bassline!
Thats 70s bass
Absolutely love this song never gets old
My Mum made me grow up listening to this awesome top shelf shit, thanks Mum!
Brian Ferry and his great band, one of my favorites, saw them live in Toronto
this is a really hot bassline!
Still great after all these years! Roxy Music!
The bass is soooooo awesome!!! And when the tele comes in!!
King of Cool.
Was a teenager back then had no idea how unbelievably talented they were
Apparently the meaning on life is written on the inside of that eyepatch. Along with a fantastic recipe for chicken alfredo.
LMAO!!!
Mmm, chicken alfredo...
lol
ha! genius
Good one! 😁
Ferry always got the headlines for this band and sure, he was a great frontman and singer but the laid back and more hidden band members carry this song to brilliant levels.
Still on my playlist in 2023.Such a unique great song.
for those who are wondering, the way the drummer gets the bongo-like sound is because the snare is "off", in other words, the snares (the things that make a snare, well, a snare) are disconnected from the actual drum
I *just* heard this on the radio and I thought it was a *Talking Heads* song I hadn't heard of.
Nope just another great song by Roxy Music!
Nile Rodgers said Roxy Music influenced Chic.
My three kids are under 13 and love this song
Remember when I first saw photos of them in Creem magazine in the 70s, ran out to buy the 45 and fell in love with Roxy Music. They were SO UNIQUE for the time in so many ways. A song for eternity.
What a hot one!!!! Wow, BRIAN FERRY does it again with style!!
I'M a hard rocker at heart, but they played this many times at high school parties and I enjoyed dancing to it big time !!!
I bet u never danced sober
I sure in hell didn't 😹😂😹
This is ther only good song
Ther rest not so much 🤘

Heard this today on Internet radio, first time I had heard it in YEARS. The nostalgia hit me in the face like Will Smith at a awards show.
The well established 70s glam rock style of Bowie, Ferry, and Bolan was revived in the early 80s as the New Romantic sound, as was Roxy Music itself. Where are the art school musicians of today?
Roxy MUSIC & The Kinks are two of the most popular and unique and important bands that never resorted to using any lyrics referencing drugs during their long careers to sell a song. There's very few songwriters in rock that can make that claim.
Wow! Two GREAT bands, Brit invasion. Love them both--such great and timeless music!
The song is literally called love is the drug
@@wmwmwmwm9889 😆
A brilliant stylish decadent song! A tribute to that era of music.
the coolest guy to ever live
Great band. you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Roxy Music, different styles but similar
My favourite of their large output. All the elements came together perfectly.
It was a hit at the most emotionally seminal time of my life, when every record in the charts held great significance for me.
The backing singers didn’t have much to do.
Bowie was interviewed around 74 and said "Roxy Music are the only group worth listening to".

I USED TO GO TO GERMANY WITH MY PARENTS EVERY 2-3 YEARS TO VISIT RELATIVES & ONE OF MY COUSINS THERE PLAYED THIS & I FELL IN 💘 LOVE ! 60'S, 70'S, & 80'S MUSIC IS THE GREATEST, MOST TALENTED VERSATILE, BEST VOICES, BEST DRESSED THERE WILL EVER BE !
In the 70s and 80s there were various visions of a future that could be. Looking at this video, I see that we are now in comparison, an exhausted society. I doubt anyone could have the confidence today to go on stage in the West dressed for higher ideals. Even a pretension of higher ideals. Look at the stunning backup singers. That's vitality! We are a fallen timeline.
True
Those two flight attendants are hot!
The ol "coke spoon in the eye injury", very common in the 70s.
Sexiest beat in history.
This 1975 song is better than anything you hear these days.
no coke spoon, he got his ass beat in bar, butvthe show goes on lol
Saw Roxy Music live during their 'GI Blues' period - absolutely mesmerising! [Ferry can really sing - he did an amazing acapella version].
Bryan is cooler than the frozen section at your local Iceland.
Never fails to be `Mr.Cool. Brian is the man-just look at the backing `singers`-they have experienced the Ferryman.
one of my favorite songs of all time
One of my favorite songs! Genius lyrics and music! I caught that buzz!!!!!💗
THIS IS THE BEST SURPRISE SONG OF THE SUPER 70S! Love that bassline...

You can definitely see & hear the influence of Roxy Music on Duran Duran & countless other artists , even Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode was listening to & singing this song in DM's 101 Documentary ❤
No one comes close to Ferry, he was without a doubt the king of cool!
+Home cooked Italian food made easy You probably never heard of David Bowie. Who remained cool all of his life and on top of that had some intelligent things to say in interviews. I also think Eno is far cooler (hate that word a bit) than Ferry. Ferry started off in great fashion, but over the years lost a lot of his excellence I think. But that is all taste and I know it...
Bon anniversaire BRIAN , JE TE SOUHAITE , LE MEILLEUR POUR TA VIE , FAIT NOU UN TRUC DE FOU ! TU PEUX 🥂🥂🥂
Fantastic!! Such a coooool song!! 😅❤
I'm so glad my momma is cool.
I was lucky enough to grow up with this epic influence.
I am embarrassed to say, but I did not know they originally preformed this tune!!! First time I ever heard it was when Grace Jones covered it!! You learn something new everyday❣
This is so ahead of its time. It's the 80's long before the 80's!
No its the 70s Henrick 1975 the 80s were not even thought of

How can someone not like Roxy music? Love love love is the drug !
The first time I heard this song I was like, "I don't know what kind of music this is, but I really like it!" I still don't know another band that sounds like this. They are their own genre.
I am not sure what modern music is (and I have heard a LOT), but this is better than any autotune crap that is coming out these days.
