This song is such a gem. When I die, if I get the choice, I’ll be reborn the same year just so I can live through the 80’s once more. Is it my nostalgia or was there a certain sweetness in those days? Just like Eddie Money sang, “I Wanna Go Back”.
wow, did I deliver a LOT of pizza with this album screaming through my car speakers. Early 80's... good times, perhaps even better times. Ah hell, showing my years... hey! get off my lawn kid! :)
@@TJPenitenciaI was rolling/making dough cranking “Hit That” by the Offspring and damn Nickleback….. You know we all listened to Nickleback and we all did the 🐓 nod head rocking out! No memes here!
I see that there are only 489 likes. And I csn’t help but be puzzled - then I remember that I have watched this video probably 100 times. So we’re a small but MIGHTY cult-like following. 🍎❤️💋🎼🍺🥃🌿🎸🥁
Yes, it was. Thankfully they usually put song credits at the end of the movie, and that's how I found out who these guys were. I went out and bought the album the next day.
I remember seeing this on a video show before MTV boy was I hooked ran out the next day.had all the drum parts for all of the songs committed to memory within a month!
Classic song !!! Right from the staggered guitar intro, the trippy keys sound, stunning drums patterns, wrap around bassline, and great lyrics. Perfect composition. . . Freaking brilliant !!!
I agree with all of that. It's got a winding, seductive sound. I hadn't heard it for years, but just did at the Golden Nugget in Biloxi. Fortunately I was in an area of the building that the sound was really clear. I was like WOW! 🤩
Still have this o original vinyl. Great album, especially if you are close to, or going through a break up. Some very angry songs, some hopeful, some vengeful. Great mix of emotions
I’ve loved this song since it came out. Wore out the record- the cassette and a Cd or two. I love this video for presentation sake - but I can’t help think - when they show the keyboard player - “No, Mr Bond, I expect you to die.”
44 years ago & I remember this song like it was yesterday. Damn I REALLY miss the 80's !!!

The Valley Girl movie really put this on the map for many.
I'm in love with this song. Don't recall it being played much in the day. What a shame! Good jam. Added to playlist! ❤

I was driving pizzas a decade later. Different songs, but, yeah, the music that played on those runs gets stuck in your head.

So we’re a small but MIGHTY cult-like following. 🍎❤️💋🎼🍺🥃🌿🎸🥁
He was very popular in Grand Rapids, MI in the early 80's. The local D.J. promoted him a lot.
From a fellow Grand Rapidian Yep!
still cant get enough of this tune 40 years plus!!!
And the movie soundtrack!
Hi cousin Gary 🥰 I hope you are having an amazing day today 😊❤️
Such a great "lost rock" tune.
Upon its release I played the hell out of the LP and this song.
A lot of ppl aged about 50 to 70 will remember a local band "Vision" playing this in Invercargill, New Zealand. God, I'm so old lol
He was big on the radio in San Diego and my band opened for him in a small club there. We were really excited about that! Great sound!
B t Utiful won't for. Moment in tim. For evr
I'm from San Diego... somebody I knew used to play this sometimes, and i really liked it... probably at my fraternity at SDSU in Fall 1980.
I went to a few of those gigs. cool!
I first heard it in VALLEY GIRL (1983)
Wasn't this on the Valley Girl movie? The entire album rocked!
That whole soundtrack #SAVAGE
I think that was the Plimsouls
Yes, it was. Thankfully they usually put song credits at the end of the movie, and that's how I found out who these guys were. I went out and bought the album the next day.
It was playing in the background when Skip delivered groceries to Mrs Brent. She was in the backyard by the pool.
Watching it right now for the first time in 25 years! Yeessss!!
I was a teenager in Austin and this song got plenty of radio play. Still does on KLBJ.
Great drum part.
Jack is an awesome drummer.
Awww yeah I’ll be rocking out with my fellow GenX ers to this song 🎶
Not enough people know this song .
I just got this song for homework from my guitar instructor. He wants me to play it to practice timing.
Check out the Eighties attitude!
hey..I bought the Album once I heard this Song..Loved it!
I remember seeing this on a video show before MTV boy was I hooked ran out the next day.had all the drum parts for all of the songs committed to memory within a month!
WLAV Grand Rapids, Michigan got it right!
Saw them play at the Miramar theater in San Clemente ca, around 78 -80 i was 14 ish and drunk i just remember it being a rad show!
This song sounds so good to me!!!!!!!!!
So glad to have found this again after so many years.
Thanks for posting , , ,
Always dug this song. Love the drum count.
Great song

See, I think so too, listen to this alot
I agree with all of that. It's got a winding, seductive sound. I hadn't heard it for years, but just did at the Golden Nugget in Biloxi. Fortunately I was in an area of the building that the sound was really clear. I was like WOW! 🤩
GREAT tune!
I fucking love this song so much!!!!!
Not certain why, but this tune is excellent to listen to - when repairing Audio equipment. The timbre of Gary's voice is just right for this!!!
great song from a great movie!
Pizza, pool and a cougar
I got a little tip for you Skip ... "Plastics"
Wild cat?
Really fantastic!
1980's Premier Station KROQ, Pasadena/LA gave this song Mega play.
I haven't heard this in years... this wasn't a hit? It was in San Diego in 1980.
Very cool 😎
I used to call KROQ to request this song a lot in the early 80’s.
This and Missing Persons.
Still have this o original vinyl. Great album, especially if you are close to, or going through a break up. Some very angry songs, some hopeful, some vengeful. Great mix of emotions
Went to my high school with my older brother.

The 80s was last era of Music where one can sing aloud & understand lyrics. W exception to some bands. Great classic , man! 😎 80s Music Rules
*along not aloud
1981 - "The Village" in Lancaster, Penn. watching The Sharks play this song. Sammy Lugar singing lead.
MAGNIFICENT!
FACK I did have a HARD time remembering this song!!
so great...many thanks!
Still loving this!
Back when bands were the thing to do. This time made me what I am today & I am still doing it 😀😎🔈🎵🎶
Dug Pinick recommended you on instagram! What a cool guy he is...never knew about you before! Instagram! Cool song!
Valley Girl
I’ve loved this song since it came out. Wore out the record- the cassette and a

I recently showed my daughter Valley girl and she is obsessed with the music. As was I when I saw it . She is 17 . We love this song .
My favourite songs under rated guy album is great to
I think the keyboard parts were borrowed in the song Someone That I Used to Know about 30 years later.
They got a good show.
Where and when was this performed?

Sounds like Joe Walsh singing a Gary Numan song.
I was thinking Tom Petty….🤟🏼
Great song. But why does he seems so mad about it?
That's just how we did music in the 80's lol... See Billy Idol :)
He looks like Kevin Bacon.
