The eighties were everything for me with practically a song for every moment. Roller skates, break dancing, Walkmans, spandex, neon, big hair, Miami Vice, etc. And we had MTV which exposed us to so many talented singers, bands and song writers. Then they came together to make Band Aid and Live Aid and Christmas Albums. Feel so fortunate to be born in a time where I got to hear the best across 3 decades of sound: 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Keeps me smiling and rocking to this day. ❤
OMG, did you mention Miami Vice?? Hot pink suit, Lamborghini, 9mm semiauto gun, Tubbs at my side, and a mix cassette of Genenis and Missing Persons. I just need to work on my 80's hair...
I love this song! I actually met the lead singer Dale Bozzio years ago in LA. My friend and I were shopping at a beach shop on Venice Beach and I saw her in the store. I instantly recognized her blond/pink hair. I went over and just told her I was a big fan and loved her music. She was extremely friendly and gracious and she spoke with my friend and I for about 10 minutes. She introduced us to her children who were with her. She told us about the upcoming plans the band had and what they have been up to. She was really cool and sweet. I didn’t expect her to be so chatty and friendly. I always appreciated that.
Can’t believe Dale(and the band) weren’t noted to be innovators to the music industry. Severely underrated music. Great memories of my older sisters listening to their cassettes
Pretty broad statement to say they weren’t known as innovators, but yeah… I gotta agree with you. This is absolute peak music of a well known genre, but not famous stuff at all by today’s standards
I remember her porn star status as being a drawback to the people, I mean the average folk of the day, it was a bit much, her having a garbage bag skirt ant fish bowls on her ta ta's..tags... lol I loved it tho , and the other cool kids did too
I remember watching this video on MTV!!!! Back in 82!!!!😊😁🙂😄😃 When my parents finally got cable TV with HBO!!!!! L.O.L.!!!!😂😂😂😂 I never thought the 80s would ever go away!!!! Such good times for me and the music was "Totally Awesome"!!!! Totally For sure!!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I'm 51 years old and this song never gets old for me!!!! I love Missing Persons!!!! The Spring Session M album is a classic Pop New Wave Rock album!!!😃😃😃🙂🙂 P.S. point of trivial interest!!! If you re arrange the letters in Spring Session M it Spells out Missing Persons!!!!!😄😄😄😄🙂👍👍👍👍
How many of us now in our 50's(or late 40's) look back upon songs like this and realize how we took it so for granted back in that era when there were so many incredible songs/bands. . . truly feel grateful to have been in my 20's during the 80's.
+NS9213 People of that age now will be saying the same thing just as our parents did before us so just imagine how awful music will be in the late 2040s early 2050s.
That's true! My entire teenage years were 1980-1986 and twenties were 1987-1989. I'm very biased because the 80s was indeed the best decade of music (not that the 50s, 60s, 70s and the 90s weren't good, they were but not the best, IMHO). :D

I'm a total metalhead and NWOBHM fanatic myself but when I discovered Missing Persons, which wasn't until about '87, I became a big fan. The EP and first album are gold.
definitely!.. I literally could not get it out of my head when they came out... I felt like I discovered a new kind of Future for Mankind...you know, totally freakin happy every minute .. it was the Fountain of Youth in my ears..and what a hottie! with such a unique sound.. I still only want to hear new and unique music at the age of 57.... Any one heard of the Minneapolis band called Hippocampus.. they are unique to me and classy, very fresh and diverse..I'm not advertising, and I don't even know if I spelled it correctly but check them out..maybe you will dig them..seen them at the Mn. state fair and was floored...maybe it was the Leinenkugels'
ToyotaGuy1971 Dale Bozzio is one of Greatest Rock drummers of all time! He and Stewart Copeland were playing Polyrhythms back when most people didn’t even know what that term meant. They are the two top drummers of the Eighties! Percussionists, if you like!

My wife and I (college sweethearts) make good incomes, have a nice house, great kids, a happy life, etc. So now I'm sitting here with a few beers waiting for my 21 year old daughters (twins) to get home for the weekend from college (where I was when I heard this tune). And I wonder for them: life is so strange, destination unknown. I wonder where life will take them??? The irony...

Dale was a former Playboy Bunny at The Playboy Club in Boston during the mid 70's and posed for Hustler magazine in March 1979 and February 1980, appearing on both covers.
In 1983 my girlfriend recorded this song on a cassette tape over and over on both sides and played it over and over that whole summer. I'm 60 now and don't know whatever became of Lisa, but in my mind the summer of 83 is this song.
lcd soundsystem are back and mac demarco kinda fits the bill but besides that i can't really think of anything. synthwave doesn't count since its just edm with linndrum samples
I'm 62 and think this song is cool. Last week I called for an office visit by some of clients. They arrived early to find me at my old school drawing board, in my suit and tie, listening to this on my office stereo. We got along famously!
First of all Lady Gaga did not plagiarize Dale Bozzio. Lady Gaga took inspiration and made it her own as Dale did. Dale was not the first person to do the whole weird and avant garde look Cher and Grace Jones did it before. I always find it funny you crab in the barrel types who scream rip off at any artist that takes inspiration from older artists. On one hand you bitch at how no one makes good music or fashion like in the 80s but when an artist like Gaga takes inspiration and resurrects the style and music of the 80s you call her a rip off. Again you people only want to bitch for the sake of bitching you are simple contrarians you are Brian Griffin.
doublestrokeroll Really sad. Not that Spring Session M was bad (I loved it, actually) but in context it was nowhere near a “Hotel California”. Every generation has its music. 90’s may have been grunge but it was also REM. Destiny’s Child was great too; as was Eminem. I don’t get a lot of music today, but it’s not my music. Beyoncé will probably wind up being this generation’s Streisand or Diana Ross.
haha they shot this vid on the same day in the same studio as FlockOfSeagulls shot 'I Ran'' lol, Love the 80's . ''no no, don't pick up all that aluminum foil. We're gonna use that !''
What annoys me is that Lady Gaga could release this today (if she could get away with no one knowing who it was done by originally) and make a megahit out of it! ...Yet back in 1982 it didn't make the top 20....This song and Words were/are my favourite off this album - Words too - a great song, didn't even make it to the top 20!
"Destination Unknown" is one of the best New Wave songs ever. How it didn't get past #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 is beyond me. ("Words" is excellent, too!)
Does it matter. Dale will always be a good classic of new wave for or generation. Now there is Lady Gaga for her version; her crew. Let it rest now you know.
Exactly. But 80s people always had to put up with that. The UK had so many great artists from the best decade ever-the 80s and many are way better than the ridiculous overrated shit like Madonna, Cure, Spandau Ballet, Madness, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue. Even the likes of U2 and Depeche Mode had much better acts around them, yet they are praised every time thy knock the same lifeless old tosh they've been doing for ever. And UK artists often have to struggle for hits in their own country once they weren't flavour of the month anymore. But now talent is out and any old shit like None Direction, Diarrhina, Paloser Faith, Cheryl Hole, Gaga, Perry, Knowles, Kanyewanker West, Silly Allen etc. all just release any thoughtless poisonous turds and everyone goes to buy it cos that's the world we live in and technology makes all this Ed Sheeran Taylor Swift etc. all shit worse. Everyone "likes" everyone, yet there's nothing to like and pretty much everything to hate. Yet when the 80s was full of promise, miserable old farts owned the columns over the internet vacancy and slated everything good and praised everything shit, and the powers that be let everything stand or fall by it and top artists weren't even ALLOWED to sell their shit in the US cos that sodding continent only cares about its own crap and giving it to us and expecting us to keep it which we do! And European artists never stood a chance even in the UK, never mind US! A nice fair world, ay!
tree.house I couldn't give a shit about Gaga....another boring modern hack artist...i was just making a point that this song was not even a major hit back in 82 ( i remember) and yet today's mainstream music which is generally very average makes megastars out of average artists.
It was so much fun going to clubs back in the 80s, dancing all night to great bands and music. Thank you Missing Persons for all the wonderful memories.
+Dv true oh my god you guys are ridiculous every video of someone who dresses a particular way always have to mention her that she's so called "copying" she most likely don't know who the fuck the missing persons so calm yourselves
+Lake Dudes The thing is the lovely Dale Bozzio was influenced by the things and styles that were going on when she was young. With the whole punk/alternative scene of the 70s. Even before that with the whole "Warhol" crowd of the 60s. She just "copied" that and put her own spin to it. Same with Gaga. Same with Alice Cooper, same with Marilyn Manson etc.
When you look at Lady Gaga, smile to yourself knowingly cause it's all been done before, Dale Bozzio was ahead of her time definitely. A lot people don't realize that before Missing Persons, she & Terry Bozzio (now ex-spouse), were members of musicians who played with Frank Zappa (she was like a session musician, backup singer, from mid to late '70's). So she definitely had credentials, some of the most nuanced & refined despite the often zany satire of Zappa, he demanded nothing but the best from those who worked with him. Plus, Dale Bozzio had about the cutest petite figure on MTV back then, the ensemble she wore in "What are Words For" was an epic look.
You are right. Gaga is nothing new. To be Zappa you had to be on your game. I grew up with Warren Curacullo who also played with him. Zappa was a note by note master.
STILL my Jam!!!...I blasted this shit with the top down last night cruising up Sunset Boulevard, them motherfuckers couldn't believe me..SUCKERS!!!...New Wave BEST!!!...'80's Music FOREVER!!!
Life is so strange when you don't know How can you tell where you're going to? You can't be sure of any situation Something could change and then you won't know You ask yourself Where do we go from here? It seems so all too near Just as far beyond as I can see I still don't know what this all means to me You tell yourself I have nowhere to go I don't know what to do And I don't even know the time of day I guess it doesn't matter any way Life is so strange Destination unknown When you don't know Your destination Something could change It's unknown And then you won't know Destination unknown Life is so strange Destination unknown When you don't know Your destination Something could change It's unknown And then you won't know Destination unknown You ask yourself When will my time come? Has it all been said and done? I know I'll leave when it's my time to go 'Til then I'll carry on with what I know Life is so strange Destination unknown When you don't know Your destination Something could change It's unknown And then you won't know Destination unknown Life is so strange Destination unknown When you don't know Your destination And something could change It's unknown And then you won't know Destination unknown Life is so strange
@@underthebluetakemein. Too me it means if you have no plans how do you know if they have been changed? If you have no purpose, how will you know when you met you purpose? And when you die did you meet your purpose?
Nothing comes close to the MTV videos of the early 80's...they took their time, put in so much creativity...videos these days go at about 120 miles an hour and they all seem the same. I miss this time period. :(
The 1st rock video I saw on Mtv was Def Leppard "Let it Rock". They were like 16-17. Hard to believe that was close to 40 years ago. I miss those days.
My dad’s band had one of the earliest videos on MTV. Steel Breeze -You Don’t Want Me Anymore- He thinks early music videos were “funky assed” because of their experimental nature and frequent corniness.
There is no era of music better than the 1980s. I am on social media for those 30 years of age and under and they listen to music from the 80's more often than you might believe.
I was 25 in 1982 and HATED alot of this music, growing up with the Stone's, Led Zeppelin and all of the rest of 'em. Love some of this music now. Way ahead of it's time. Hey, some of us are slow learners...:)
Passwordbosco totally agree, at that time it was a radical change in music and called new age, for rock roll followers like us, it was a the hardest punch in rock & roll soul, however as you say, some of us are slow learner's. Missing persons was the mirror of the new age musical era.
Started the 80s as a high school student and ended it a college grad married with two kids. I remember listening to this song over and over since my destination was unknown. What a time to be alive.
@@billdavis6900My dad was born then too. I’ve always wanted to be born in 1969-1970, kinda mid way between my mom and dads birthday. Glad you guys got to experience such a rad time
ok, im not alone....ive been obsessing over this track in 2021...I was 12 when it came out. I was too young to appreciate this back then, though I did know of Missing Persons in the 1980's.
Ugh, I so hear you on that... I guess every generation has their soundtrack to the same memory of freedom - that tiny window between the innocence of childhood and stained adulthood. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
The 80s were the best time of my life. Mainly the music of course, but you didn't have the negatively and excessive laws and regulations. You almost need a lawyer to cross the street these days.
God you guys are so lucky to be alive during the 80s I wish I was one of you guys to got to experience the culture the music and the feeling I'm really sad I couldn't be apart of that I just had to be born in 1997 :(
Merica1776 It's a shame that music isn't such an important part of young people's lives like it was back in the 70's and 80's, and even the early 90's. I got to live through all the quantum leaps in youth culture, from glam to punk to rave and it was all kind of taken for granted. Every ten years or so a new thing took off and It's only now you can look back and see just how great it was! It looks like Grunge was the last big youth culture phenomenon as far as music was concerned. It seems like video game culture has taken over from music for the youth of today, more's the pity for us music fans! But at least there's UA-cam where all the great music lives on! You should be thankful for that as we had nothing like that back in the day!
music is still pretty important to young people even though it hasn't evolved as much. also edm has been popular. but anyway i mean most your people still listen to music. but anyway theres been emotionally hip hop and edm since the mid 90s. i don't think music will ever not be popular, humans will always love melodies
The sound and visuals of a time so confusing and colorful. This band had virtuosos in it, and Dale was the perfect face of this strain of New Wave. What a fun song.
"Life is so strange/destination unknown/when you don't know/your destination" New wave got written off for being very frothy and frivolous but every once in a while a really profound and human sentiment would sneak into a song (like the gem of a lyric at the top of my comment). I'm about to turn 50 and all my life has been strange with a destination unknown. At least now I'm enjoying the strangeness and I'll land at whatever destination Karma decides to send me to. 😊 This song could come out now and people would think it's an underground retro band trying to get played on college radio. Some sounds refuse to die. And did gals and guys really wear that much makeup and hairspray in 1982?
My name is Butch Weatherly from Kihei, Maui, Hawaii and I am proud to be listening to this song very, very loud on November 14th 2023. I wish peace and happiness to all who read this! Aloha!
I was 15 in 1982 and MTV was so fresh and new like nothing that will ever be seen again.life in America was so different then. I refer to this time 1981-83 as the Pre-Madonna years because nobody knew Ms. louise Ciccone yet. Say what you will but Dale Bozzio was copied by the like of Madonna endlessly.The music from that era is still the best.
I didn't grow up in the 80s but man I wish I did. The 90s was kinda cool but nowhere near as epic as the 80s! So many different bands and genres then it's crazy! If you wanted an electronic punk folk combination it probably existed then. There were no limits and no labels. Music was music.
The 80's pop future cyber punk music. It's incredible. The keyboard was so new so many wild ideas. Musical exploration at its best. 80's I now best era of music.

Saw her backstage with a Flock of Seagulls. I have hung out with Mike. Dale had my wife and I hold her dogs as she got ready.
She does seem like she would be approachable, nice to know that she actually is. Thanks for sharing that.
@@LordHolley you’re very welcome, yes she was great!
Totally cool

All the band members except the keyboard player did work with Frank Zappa.
This is the one time i agree that a band is underrated... They really should have gone big and international.

I recall that Im happy with no misery, unless you are dying, then reminiscing can be fun.
So true
Tell me about it. I remember the past, and look forward to hell
There is truth to that and yes "Life Is So Strange"
Lady GaGa you owe Dale money
amen...
PsychedelicJukebox you owe Syd Barrett some $$$
LOL !
She sure does... Totally ripped off.
You DAM right!
This song is on GTA vice city stories.
Lady Gaga should have just called herself Missing Persons
NO NOT REALLY
AT ALL GAGA CAN'T EVEN COMPARE
MISSING PERSONS
🤣
Ha ha, yeah, I'm always amazed by their similarity in appearance; I think Dale Bozzio has a real unique look
Hasn't she admitted being a fan of Dale Bozzio ? Its clear she was an influence
Lady Gaga thinks she is the missing person of Missing Persons. LOL
Dale is female and attractive.
Lady Gaga....isn't.
In 1983 my girlfriend recorded this song on a cassette tape over and over on both sides and played it over and over that whole summer. I'm 60 now and don't know whatever became of Lisa, but in my mind the summer of 83 is this song.
I miss new wave....
Lee Lee Lee Mr Micheal
Can you name any bands that have a new wave sound now. i know the early 2000s had quite a few, but where are they?
lcd soundsystem are back and mac demarco kinda fits the bill but besides that i can't really think of anything.
synthwave doesn't count since its just edm with linndrum samples
Come listen to my Spotify playlist - no two songs from the same artist - currently at 11 hrs 23 mins of New Wave & Synthpop!!
@@oceanbabin4567
Stellastar _My Coco_ was a fantastic tune in '03. Now? The Juan McLean are good. Interpol is back. Two Door Cinema Club, Ra Ra Riot.
I'm 62 and think this song is cool. Last week I called for an office visit by some of clients. They arrived early to find me at my old school drawing board, in my suit and tie, listening to this on my office stereo. We got along famously!
I still do my 'big hair' ;-) When you have
nice hair flaunt it, right!?
Lady GAGA plagiarized the hell out of Dale Bozzio.
Dale was the original Lady GaGa
First of all Lady Gaga did not plagiarize Dale Bozzio. Lady Gaga took inspiration and made it her own as Dale did. Dale was not the first person to do the whole weird and avant garde look Cher and Grace Jones did it before. I always find it funny you crab in the barrel types who scream rip off at any artist that takes inspiration from older artists. On one hand you bitch at how no one makes good music or fashion like in the 80s but when an artist like Gaga takes inspiration and resurrects the style and music of the 80s you call her a rip off. Again you people only want to bitch for the sake of bitching you are simple contrarians you are Brian Griffin.
fnu lnu
There’s definitely inspiration taken from Dale by Gaga, but Gwen Stefani REALLY took the image and ran with it.
OH YESSSSSS
@Mary O'Bear maybe wendy o? XD but less sexual?
This comment section:
50% "I miss the 80's!"
50% "Lada Gaga ripped Dale off wow"
Don't forget "music today sucks!" then those statements.
Pretty sad huh?
It was going to be a funny comment, until you wrote the word "Gaga".
NEXT?!
Well... how are those comments wrong? I personally do miss the music from the 80’s and Gaga did rip her image off, soooooooo 🤷🏻♂️
@@Bolt_theG35 Gaga was inspired by 80s stuff but, as artist I can differentiate between a copy and inspiration. I love Dale but I love Gaga too.
doublestrokeroll Really sad. Not that Spring Session M was bad (I loved it, actually) but in context it was nowhere near a “Hotel California”. Every generation has its music. 90’s may have been grunge but it was also REM. Destiny’s Child was great too; as was Eminem. I don’t get a lot of music today, but it’s not my music. Beyoncé will probably wind up being this generation’s Streisand or Diana Ross.
haha they shot this vid on the same day in the same studio as FlockOfSeagulls shot 'I Ran'' lol, Love the 80's .
''no no, don't pick up all that aluminum foil. We're gonna use that !''
Haha !!
LMMFAO!!! ;' )

I still love this song after all these years.
Missing Persons mastered the New Wave sound of the 80's!
Dale was in a league all her own!
It's a real new wave song
Don't forget Ultravox!
Bro you just copied the comment above you 😆
Lady GAGA owes her a big THANK YOU
@@luannabbate2624 Totally!
What annoys me is that Lady Gaga could release this today (if she could get away with no one knowing who it was done by originally) and make a megahit out of it! ...Yet back in 1982 it didn't make the top 20....This song and Words were/are my favourite off this album - Words too - a great song, didn't even make it to the top 20!
"Destination Unknown" is one of the best New Wave songs ever. How it didn't get past #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 is beyond me.
("Words" is excellent, too!)
Does it matter. Dale will always be a good classic of new wave for or generation. Now there is Lady Gaga for her version; her crew. Let it rest now you know.
Exactly. But 80s people always had to put up with that. The UK had so many great artists from the best decade ever-the 80s and many are way better than the ridiculous overrated shit like Madonna, Cure, Spandau Ballet, Madness, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue. Even the likes of U2 and Depeche Mode had much better acts around them, yet they are praised every time thy knock the same lifeless old tosh they've been doing for ever. And UK artists often have to struggle for hits in their own country once they weren't flavour of the month anymore. But now talent is out and any old shit like None Direction, Diarrhina, Paloser Faith, Cheryl Hole, Gaga, Perry, Knowles, Kanyewanker West, Silly Allen etc. all just release any thoughtless poisonous turds and everyone goes to buy it cos that's the world we live in and technology makes all this Ed Sheeran Taylor Swift etc. all shit worse. Everyone "likes" everyone, yet there's nothing to like and pretty much everything to hate. Yet when the 80s was full of promise, miserable old farts owned the columns over the internet vacancy and slated everything good and praised everything shit, and the powers that be let everything stand or fall by it and top artists weren't even ALLOWED to sell their shit in the US cos that sodding continent only cares about its own crap and giving it to us and expecting us to keep it which we do! And European artists never stood a chance even in the UK, never mind US! A nice fair world, ay!
tree.house
then why bring it up again? ..that makes 90+%......90%? ...exaggerated.
tree.house I couldn't give a shit about Gaga....another boring modern hack artist...i was just making a point that this song was not even a major hit back in 82 ( i remember) and yet today's mainstream music which is generally very average makes megastars out of average artists.
Ah 1982, I remember it very well and fondly 😊
An Era long gone but the songs will live on forever. What a Great Era. I'm glad that I lived it.
Wow, never realized Lady Gaga is a total Dale Bozzio ripoff. Missing Persons were awesome, as were the 80s!
I always thought these folks managed to carve out a special sound, even while being Totally 80s.
It was so much fun going to clubs back in the 80s, dancing all night to great bands and music. Thank you Missing Persons for all the wonderful memories.
bozzio your so hot and gaga trying to copy you
+Dv true that is so true, my son born 1991 just said the same thing , now , when showing him this video
+Dv true You're so right. Lady Gaga has nothing on Dale Bozzio....She's the original. My daughter who was born in 1995 also said the same thing.
+Dv true oh my god you guys are ridiculous every video of someone who dresses a particular way always have to mention her that she's so called "copying" she most likely don't know who the fuck the missing persons so calm yourselves
+Lake Dudes The thing is the lovely Dale Bozzio was influenced by the things and styles that were going on when she was young. With the whole punk/alternative scene of the 70s. Even before that with the whole "Warhol" crowd of the 60s. She just "copied" that and put her own spin to it. Same with Gaga. Same with Alice Cooper, same with Marilyn Manson etc.
+Dv true Yep, Gaga pretty much totally copied Dale, except Gaga cant sing as well and isn't playmate material.
When this song came out in 82, I was obsessed with it!! Absolutely loved this video and loved watching it on MTV!!!
ME TOO my mom love it very much
This song is fucking epic! Love the video too! Hahahahahaa!
To all y'all making tge Lady Gaga connection, have a look at Nina Hagen, Lena Lovich and Siouxsie and the Banshees. '80s fashionistas all of them.
Yessssss!!
True...Kate Bush❤️
Lady GaGa has nothing on the original punk girl.
Absofuckinlutely 💯
God... I had it bad for her back then. Bozzio was just so delicious in the 80's.
I had the hots for these female rock and pop stars from the '80s; Dale and Madonna were my biggest crushes.
Also Terri from Berlin too.
ScorpioBornIn69
MeAriesBornin69... I salute you Scorpio!
Yeah, Bozzio the blowup.
I am the same age as dale
Oh man I so miss these days.....the 80's were and will always be the absolute best of times
this is a great album. Terry Bozio is an amazing drummer...he was so ahead of time in the early 80's
When you look at Lady Gaga, smile to yourself knowingly cause it's all been done before, Dale Bozzio was ahead of her time definitely. A lot people don't realize that before Missing Persons, she & Terry Bozzio (now ex-spouse), were members of musicians who played with Frank Zappa (she was like a session musician, backup singer, from mid to late '70's). So she definitely had credentials, some of the most nuanced & refined despite the often zany satire of Zappa, he demanded nothing but the best from those who worked with him.
Plus, Dale Bozzio had about the cutest petite figure on MTV back then, the ensemble she wore in "What are Words For" was an epic look.
Besides Dale and Terry the other original members were Warren Cucurullo and Patrick Ohearn also from Zappa's band!
If you weren't the real deal you couldn't play with Zappa. They all were. Warren was a local Brooklyn boy to me who did good.
You are right. Gaga is nothing new. To be Zappa you had to be on your game. I grew up with Warren Curacullo who also played with him. Zappa was a note by note master.
Yes
💯. THIS WAS 2 YEARS •BEFORE• MADONNA‼️‼️
STILL my Jam!!!...I blasted this shit with the top down last night cruising up Sunset Boulevard, them motherfuckers couldn't believe me..SUCKERS!!!...New Wave BEST!!!...'80's Music FOREVER!!!
Life is so strange when you don't know
How can you tell where you're going to?
You can't be sure of any situation
Something could change and then you won't know
You ask yourself
Where do we go from here?
It seems so all too near
Just as far beyond as I can see
I still don't know what this all means to me
You tell yourself
I have nowhere to go
I don't know what to do
And I don't even know the time of day
I guess it doesn't matter any way
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
You ask yourself
When will my time come?
Has it all been said and done?
I know I'll leave when it's my time to go
'Til then I'll carry on with what I know
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
Something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Destination unknown
When you don't know
Your destination
And something could change
It's unknown
And then you won't know
Destination unknown
Life is so strange
Thank you for posting the lyrics
I still don't know what this all means to me....in 2020 🙂🙃😊😇😋♾🏳️🌈!!!
Life is so strange 😂
@@underthebluetakemein. Too me it means if you have no plans how do you know if they have been changed? If you have no purpose, how will you know when you met you purpose? And when you die did you meet your purpose?
It's been over 30 years ago and I was young and happy. Life happened and I am old and happy. Music is coming back again.
80s music NEVER LEFT😃😕
Her voice is so beautiful and amazing. This song and another hit called "words" was awesome.
ua-cam.com/video/oIb9QUGjdIc/v-deo.html Berlin-No More Words
A track called "Mental Hopscotch" was on the EP, with a brutal tempo.
Not to mention her looks.....But who's looking
@@Jonathan-st4ed Yes, she was very attractive and sexy, at least back then. I don't know about now though.
Walking in L. A.--
Nothing comes close to the MTV videos of the early 80's...they took their time, put in so much creativity...videos these days go at about 120 miles an hour and they all seem the same. I miss this time period. :(
I agree,there was also so much hope in America in that era.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little... The great Ronald Reagan???
The 1st rock video I saw on Mtv was Def Leppard "Let it Rock". They were like 16-17. Hard to believe that was close to 40 years ago. I miss those days.
My dad’s band had one of the earliest videos on MTV. Steel Breeze -You Don’t Want Me Anymore- He thinks early music videos were “funky assed” because of their experimental nature and frequent corniness.
Boospoochie Better than the Democrat choice at that time.
There is no era of music better than the 1980s. I am on social media for those 30 years of age and under and they listen to music from the 80's more often than you might believe.
Gaga AND Perry ripped this style . That is why current music sucks ass.
The 1980s had innovative music not the bullshit we got now
Where is the thank you from lady Gaga for copying dale bazzio's image dale should be getting royalties for this❤🎉
I was 25 in 1982 and HATED alot of this music, growing up with the Stone's, Led Zeppelin and all of the rest of 'em. Love some of this music now. Way ahead of it's time. Hey, some of us are slow learners...:)
i'm 60 now and I still love this music--you should check out the propellerheads--history repeating
Passwordbosco totally agree, at that time it was a radical change in music and called new age, for rock roll followers like us, it was a the hardest punch in rock & roll soul, however as you say, some of us are slow learner's. Missing persons was the mirror of the new age musical era.
Would you have given this band a second look if you knew that it was comprised of former Frank Zappa veterans?
...........bosco.......
Started the 80s as a high school student and ended it a college grad married with two kids. I remember listening to this song over and over since my destination was unknown. What a time to be alive.
I agree. I basically grew up in the 80’s. I was born in 72 so I was 8 in 1980 and 18 in 1990.
@@billdavis6900My dad was born then too. I’ve always wanted to be born in 1969-1970, kinda mid way between my mom and dads birthday. Glad you guys got to experience such a rad time
It doesn't matter very song
Very good song
Yeah! I was born in 1973. The 80s was fucking awesome!
YES. When my friends would got out dancing for retro 80s night, we always pick this song. Waiting to do that again. HANG IN THERE GUYS.
Spring Session M is HIGHLY underrated, anyone that hasn’t heard it will be blown away
Absolutely 💯🎯
Spring Session M was the letters of Missing Persons rearranged. Anagram.
I'm 63 but reeling in years this song was one of those that was totally addictive
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand ;)
Apologies, couldn't pass up Steely Dan :) 🤟
This song is a masterpiece of the 80's and a song I really relate to.
Anyone listening to this 35 years later?
Super-fantastic band of the early 80's.
I listened to this song probably 50 times yesterday and now it's my alarm
ok, im not alone....ive been obsessing over this track in 2021...I was 12 when it came out. I was too young to appreciate this back then, though I did know of Missing Persons in the 1980's.
Tell your friends
Who remembers the US Festival in California. 4 days of incredible bands and artists.
I remember! Glen Helen park in San Bernardino, memorial weekend ‘83.
I lived in Rialto CA. at the time, close to Kolb Jr. High. Could hear the music from there.
In a way, this song is hard to hear .. reminds me of a magical and uncluttered fun period of teenage intoxication and freedom. Gone. :/ Good song.
Ugh, I so hear you on that... I guess every generation has their soundtrack to the same memory of freedom - that tiny window between the innocence of childhood and stained adulthood. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
The 80s were the best time of my life. Mainly the music of course, but you didn't have the negatively and excessive laws and regulations. You almost need a lawyer to cross the street these days.
Man, this song takes me right back to the 80's. What a time ! Seems like a whole different lifetime ago.
You said it....that and life was so much better back then than nowv:/
God you guys are so lucky to be alive during the 80s I wish I was one of you guys to got to experience the culture the music and the feeling I'm really sad I couldn't be apart of that I just had to be born in 1997 :(
Merica1776 It's a shame that music isn't such an important part of young people's lives like it was back in the 70's and 80's, and even the early 90's. I got to live through all the quantum leaps in youth culture, from glam to punk to rave and it was all kind of taken for granted. Every ten years or so a new thing took off and It's only now you can look back and see just how great it was! It looks like Grunge was the last big youth culture phenomenon as far as music was concerned. It seems like video game culture has taken over from music for the youth of today, more's the pity for us music fans! But at least there's UA-cam where all the great music lives on! You should be thankful for that as we had nothing like that back in the day!
Yea true ... But I think I could live without all this technology really I can it's would be better knowing I can hang out with friends better
music is still pretty important to young people even though it hasn't evolved as much. also edm has been popular. but anyway i mean most your people still listen to music. but anyway theres been emotionally hip hop and edm since the mid 90s. i don't think music will ever not be popular, humans will always love melodies
This song takes me to a Desination Unknown. Love it!
This song is the story of our lives.
Very under-appreciated song! This song is as good today as it it was back then!

If you listen to the lyrics this song is actually very deep with, yes, spiritual meaning. One of my all-time favorites.

She's Terri Bozio who Lady Gaga copied from and Siouxsie Soux get it right please and thank you friend😂
Gaga is a cheap Dale Bozzio knock-off.
Sorry Dale Bozio I think her husband's name is Terry.

The video is surreal. It's like a pleasant acid trip. Totally groovy.
Please see above comment
As an 80’s kid… life is so strange. We had a great soundtrack.
The sound and visuals of a time so confusing and colorful. This band had virtuosos in it, and Dale was the perfect face of this strain of New Wave. What a fun song.
Spring Session M is an early 80's new wave masterpiece.
The name of the album is an anagram
This has such a great 80's feel. Everytime I hear it it brings me back to wonderful times.
+Troy Owens I know what you mean. I am nearly 40 and like much of this sort of music.
Is there a more perfect song?
2023 and I'm still banging. Fast times, porkies, up the creek, breakfast club, moon unit, bow wow wow. Come on, and I'm a freaking metal head
"Life is so strange/destination unknown/when you don't know/your destination"
New wave got written off for being very frothy and frivolous but every once in a while a really profound and human sentiment would sneak into a song (like the gem of a lyric at the top of my comment). I'm about to turn 50 and all my life has been strange with a destination unknown. At least now I'm enjoying the strangeness and I'll land at whatever destination Karma decides to send me to. 😊
This song could come out now and people would think it's an underground retro band trying to get played on college radio. Some sounds refuse to die.
And did gals and guys really wear that much makeup and hairspray in 1982?
Yes
love this song ..I love the 80's music.. I love her voice..
I personally think this song screams 80's!!!
Yes Ma'am it does. Greatest days of my life probably. lol.
It was released in the 80s.
I believe that I was happiest in the 80's.I love new wave.
Well it WAS released in the 80s, so there's that.
Annabell Mendez omg 4 sure

Peace on, Butch. This is good. Music to me has always been best when it was unique. This is certainly that.
Very very loud is the only way to listen to this song! Cheers!
You'll love Mental Hopscotch!
I was 15 in 1982 and MTV was so fresh and new like nothing that will ever be seen again.life in America was so different then. I refer to this time 1981-83 as the Pre-Madonna years because nobody knew Ms. louise Ciccone yet. Say what you will but Dale Bozzio was copied by the like of Madonna endlessly.The music from that era is still the best.
You said it,music after 1990 became generic, gone is the freshness of the early 80's. It's such a shame.
joseph topete loves Adam and the ants ... the 80’s were the best ever!
I didn't grow up in the 80s but man I wish I did. The 90s was kinda cool but nowhere near as epic as the 80s! So many different bands and genres then it's crazy! If you wanted an electronic punk folk combination it probably existed then. There were no limits and no labels. Music was music.
in the 80's the people dreaming....
2024 anyone??? 🔥🤘😊
The 80's pop future cyber punk music. It's incredible. The keyboard was so new so many wild ideas. Musical exploration at its best. 80's I now best era of music.
