It took me 25 years to figure out who sung this song that I remembered from my high school days. You know what else I remember from my high school days? Happiness.
First heard this on the Kenny Everett show way back when he was on Thames TV and have listened to it hundreds of times since on vinyl and every time I dance like no ones watching. Pure genius.
I brought myself here because of my dad's great taste in music (found this album in his iTunes library many years ago, right after he passed away). RIP Dad .
@@user-tu5un8jc9v I inherited the vinyl of this from my dad's record collection. He passed away a couple of years ago, and left me a great record collection and taste in music (I hope).
I've had the weirdness of this song in my head since I was around 7 years old. My dad probably only played it a handful of times, in a vartiey CD, but it got stuck in my head and untill this very day I thought perhaps I had made it up. I had tried to find it a few times before but was mostly typing in 'weird words song'. I can't believe I've finally found it and it actually exists.
My older sisters had the record in the ‘80’s, and listening to it now, time traveled me to times when life was simple, and all my sisters had to worry about was “Not To Scratch Our Records”!!!!
Still hot and funky as ever after all these years, let's go 80's ! 🔥I remember hearing it for the first time on New York famed radio station back then, Disco 92 WKTU
Heard this for the first time today (16/11/21) at 41yrs old on 'classic radio'. I almost pulled my car over twitching, as I was wondering if we lived in a simulation 🤣👍🏻🏴
i thought this was the first time i've ever heard this song, for real but i might have heard it when i was 42, since there seems to be a comment here i updinged then so maybe i did hear it at the time, but forgot
many years ago I joined an exclusive music club. Just myself and my brother from another mother and father. We liked getting drunk and challenging each other to like the different music we personally were grooving to. I'm a Metalhead. He's a Mod. Neither of us could not and can not to this day, deny the power of this song. Long may it reign
@@mrflynn01 lol! That's hilarious. Also, I am a multi-instrumentalist, and while the bass line isn't bad - it really isn't that impressive as far as basslines go.... Just sayin... fun song though, I enjoyed it!
I still....got THIS Vynil (LP) at HOME...and over 400 other Vinyl's (RECORDS)too !!! MUSIC...WAS MY FIRST LOVE ! BORN in 1960...59 Years old now...and still Listen to it in 2019 !
61 and I have this record that I brought for a dollar at a record store in the $1 discount. bin. The record cover is shabby but the vinyl is near mint.
Sabia que un día la encontraría porque la escuché solo una ocasión y me dejó maravillo. Los sonidos y arreglos son de otra dimensión, jamás la dejaré, será mi compañera de viajes.
Este es el Hip Hop que evoluciona a Freestyle con el agregado del NRG & Synthpop del EDM 1977 y la musica electronica más fluida desarrollada en los 70s lo cual utilizo también Africa B, Arthur Barker, John R, Jellybean....
Probably one of the most curious songs ever to emerge from the 1980s (and there were quite a few!) This song apparent minimalist sparse instrumentation allows these *words* to shine through. No repeating lyrics. Under this playful festival sojourn lies almost a political nuanced message. A very intriguing number.
Questa è una delle prime canzoni che ho ballato in discoteca, rigorosamente di pomeriggio perchè all'epoca ero minorenne... bei tempi ragazzi, quanta nostalgia!!!
Wow, this is amazing. I cant believe how funky this is, thank you genius of love for leading the way to this great band. Im in awe while describing this song and bumping my head while i smoke outside in the silent neighborhood. The snow makes me shiver but this tunes makes the shivers go to the beat. Love it!!
Tom Tom Club es una banda new wave de origen estadounidense creada por Tina Weymouth y Chris Frantz, bajista y percusionista de Talking Heads respectivamente. Es más conocida por su hit «Genius of Love» (1981), número 1 en el Hot Dance Club Songs.Originalmente creado como proyecto paralelo de Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club incluye un agregado libre de músicos, ingenieros de sonido y artistas del Compass Point All Stars, incluyendo a las de hermanas de Tina y el guitarrista Adrian Belew, quien estuvo de gira con Weymouth y Frantz en la versión ampliada de los Talking Heads en 1980 y 1981. Llamada así por el salón de baile de las Bahamas donde ensayaron por primera vez durante el receso de Talking Heads en 1980, Tom Tom Club disfrutó de un éxito temprano en la cultura de dance de la década de los 80's con los éxitos "Genius of Love" y "Wordy Rappinghood ", los cuales fueron sacados de su álbum homónimo, estrenado en 1981 con el sello discográfico Sire para EE.UU., y con Island Records para el resto del mundo. Dos años después, el grupo lanzó Close To The Bone que, si bien era similar en estilo a su primer álbum, no fue acogido de igual manera por el público, salvo el sencillo "The Man With The Four Way Hips" que fue un éxito menor en radios de las zonas urbanas de EE.UU. Hubo una brecha de cuatro años hasta el siguiente álbum de la banda, la primera versión de Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom, lanzado defnitivamente en 1988. Para esta etapa, el acuerdo con Island había terminado, así que dicho álbum fue publicado fuera de los EE. UU. por PolyGram Records. En este álbum, el grupo adopta un estilo de rock más convencional, con un sonido más duro y un toque de amenaza en las letras de algunas canciones. El line-up de la banda fue consolidado; considerando que los dos álbumes anteriores habían sido grabados por un colectivo informal de una docena de músicos, la banda se redujo ahora al trío de Weymouth, Frantz y Laura Weymouth, hermana de Tina. Sin embargo hubo una serie de prominentes músicos invitados en el disco, incluyendo Lou Reed y el líder de Talking Heads, David Byrne, en un cover de la canción "Femme Fatale" de The Velvet Underground. El cuarto miembro de los Talking Heads, Jerry Harrison, también aparece en algunas pistas. Al igual que Close To The Bone, el álbum no fue un éxito comercial, aunque "Suboceana" fue bien recibido en la radio, principalmente en el Reino Unido, y el sencillo "Don't Say No" alcanzó el Top 100 de ese país. Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom fue el primer álbum de Tom Tom Club que se publicó en CD y en su versión japonesa aparece una pista extra, el lado B "Devil, Does Your Dog Bite?" presentada también en la banda sonora de la película Married to the Mob. "Suboceana" fue remezclado para los clubes de baile por el pionero de la música house Jefferson Marshall.
Gracias por tan valiosa información escuchaba y bailaba esta canción como en el 82 en mi temprana adolescencia después entraron el resto de la música de esa época y la perdí de mi memoria y nunca pude volverla a escuchar puesto que hasta el nombre perdí de ella , hasta ahora que mi hermano mayor me pasó el enlace , y aquí llegue y leo su información al respecto , se lo agradezco mucho. ,
This song was very successful here in my city , in 1981 , Fortaleza / Ceará / BRAZIL , and I didn´t remember anymore , thank you.(sorry my bad english)
Your English is pretty good. I think the word you were looking to use was "Popular" instead of "Successful" though; successful is okay though, people still understand what you mean.
"successful" is about as useful as "popular" when in this context the problem in your sentence is "i didn't remember anymore" - i think what you were trying to mean was "i forgot", and what you were trying to say was "i cannot remember anymore"
First heard this song on Nostalgie Eighties and immediately set out to find it on UA-cam because it's so very, very eighties. Glad I found it! It'll be on my playlist from here on out
Es la tercera vez que la escucho en mi vida y me encanto, gracias a un amigo que es de la época de los 80s aprendí mucho de este género gracias John! 🙏🏻😊
I loved this back in the days... today i was struggling with emotional words.. and i thought lots of words words and this popped up.. after so many years.. still love it ..
This was the song for sports broadcasting on Spanish TV at first 80´s especially for European basketball Championship, called now Euroleague. I like it.
Fantastic !! I was stuck in nottingham on Mona Road as an apprentice in digs and heard this on the house owners record player and thought what a fantastic track. 1981 . And I bumped into dave and dylan marksman who I knew from tachbrook in 1975. Typical childhood memories that mean nothing to anyone but those involved !!
My Mom tried to describe this record to me today as she remembers it playing the year me and my cousin were born - all she did was da da da da woo woo woo - I thought she’d finally lost the plot 🤣🤣🤣
I love it, loved it as a little kid, like 3 and upwards. My Sister was exactly the same!! I plan to let my 6 and 7 years old Daughters(Charlotte Jessie and Ruby Grace) hear it tomorrow, I can hear their sweet chuckles already, can't wait!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting this! I played this album to death back in the day. I'm bummed to find out that these guys were touring this year, and played the NYC area, and I missed it!
I still know the lyrics by heart. My friend and I spent weeks figuring out the lyrics (being Dutch and of course in pre-Google times). Such a unique, funky and clever song. Tina deserves a statue, she is a treasure ❤
I remember braiding each other's hair on the bus on the way to track meets back in 8th grade listening to this song, blue jeans, jump on it, rappers delight, etc. people doing the prep... lol
I had always known Tom Tom Club for "Genius of Love". Never realized they did this song, too. Then I discovered the bassist and drummer were from Talking Heads and my mind blew up.
Saw them in concert with The Police, Talking Heads, and Blondie in 1983. When Tina bust the Bass on Genius of Love, my bias towards white chick's ended that very day. Tina still has the coldest bass line ever recorded.

This song is yet another example of the energy and creativity of the music of the 1980s. Quality. Who agrees?
I do

This is pretty on par with some niche artists you can find today. Just with that weird sort of nonsensical tone

My favorite Tom tom club song! Been looking for this song for 26 years! Lol
Me too 💪
Isn't it great that music can take us back to a time or place in our life when everything seemed to be a lot better than it is today
This is why I still listen to old music! It takes my mind to a happier world than we are in right now.
we were just naive then. but that doesnt negate what you said. lifes what you make it. and the good news is, its all in our heads...🙂
Heard this for the first time today (16/11/21) at 41yrs old on 'classic radio'. I almost pulled my car over twitching, as I was wondering if we lived in a simulation 🤣👍🏻🏴

Can't get over Tina's tight bass line. Perfection.
So tight though out the whole song!!! Perfect indeed.
Bass line: does rule.
the only people who underrate Tina's bass playng ability are people who have never played an instrument to any level of competency

Thank you Versace
I had the absolute pleasure of looking after these guys when played at my work (Glasgow School of Art) back in late 80s….Tina such a sweetheart ❤️💙

How do you know no one liked it in loved it since 1981
@anthonymaylett5823 I'm referring to people I knew.. obviously others liked it too but the people I knew didnt
This song was a massive hit, everyone liked it.
I have a radio station set up as my alarm and I swear every other morning they wake me up with this song. And I really don't mind.
haven’t heard this since high school and i woke up at 4am with it stuck in my head… 💜🫡🎶 some things stay in your brain forever

I think they did it. I remember a video with that kind of drawings
That was genius of love that you're thinking of, it had a great animated video

That backbeat. What a team at home and on stage.

Over 25 years old music is here to save us.
It wasn't underground in the UK, it reached number 7 in the national charts in July 1981.
Try 35.
