This is my first time seeing it and this has been one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, since it came out. I'm not much of a video watcher, though. Coincidentally, it used to remind me of my first love, who was also a PA in those days.😏 Lifetimes ago!
Ha ha my moment of fame. At 1:38 there’s a blur of a person in a red tee shirt can barely make it out but that’s me and my girlfriend Debbie. Was at the boat pond in Central Park when they were filming the rowboat scene. Complete coincidence but she recognized Ian immediately. It was the summer of 82, I think. Long time ago and she has since passed away, but a wonderful moment in time. Carefree college days with a very cool lady. Was 9 years older than me but we just hit off and had a wild summer fling. Good times!
Ian Hunter may be the most underrated artist in history. If you count his solo work, and that with MOTT, plus songs he wrote that others covered, it is a big body of great work.
While I was never a big Mott The Hoople (I do like 'All The Young Dudes') or Ian Hunter fan, I do happen to LOVE this song and video. Probably one of my favorite music videos of all time. And famous New York DJ Carol Miller is in it as well (black dress at the very beginning)!
Ian Hunter is one of the top five best songwriters ever produced in rock ‘n’ roll. He’s also got a great stage presence when he was younger. The fact that he’s 83 and working with all these superstars in the business show how important he was to rock ‘n’ roll from the early 70s till now. It’s a crime that he is not in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame. I think he race lyrics is good as Bob Dylan and certainly sing better than Bob Dylan. Let’s get Ian Hunter into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame so how.
There's something special about this guy. I don't know. Did you ever feel you knew someone when you first met them? His songs display great intelligence.
I bought the album as soon as it came out (my favorite Ian Hunter album), but I only found out there was a video for this song a few years ago (wasn't much of a TV watcher).
I honestly think this is one of the coolest videos of the 80's, but for some reason it's always overlooked. I was 16 when I saw it. I'd never even heard of Mott the Hoople. Ian Hunter hooked me with this video.
I've listened to it at least once a day, every day since my last comment five days ago. I just recently found it again after years of not hearing it. Takes me back to the very early years of my life after I found and married my wife. It's like reliving a bright Saturday morning with her all over again. I miss you everyday hon. Don't forget to come get me when my time comes, can't wait to hold you again.
I also recorded on my VCR. Almost wore it out replaying it over and over again because the babes were so damn good lookin and I could relate to the song.. The women in this vid did not have to be half naked to look good.
Omg, did you see hunter without his shades. Remember his brilliant album shades . if he walked past me without his shades, I wouldn't recognise him, and I'm his biggest fan in the whole wide world. My hero and mentor..
This dude had a way of delivering a song that felt so right and down to earth! Thank You Ian Hunter! Loved so many of your songs! This one being one of so many!
Awesome song! I remember first seeing this on NBC's Friday Night Videos back in the 80s. I guess it was the network's way of competing with upstart channel MTV at the time. Ian Hunter is the man.
listen , in the face of all the crappy writing that was shoved down our throats and faces when M.T.V so thoughtfully decided what they would show us all artists they would favor. It all became very repetitive .Somewhat Boring for lack of a worse description .Ian comes up behind and managed to pen another gem that somhow had that era"s acceptable pop feel. He's a great writer.Quite underrated and overlooked of course and like many, one of the best! Reign on Ian! Cheers to the great Mott the Hoople the originals who paved the way for many to follow.So good ,Bowie himself made sure they stuck around.Cheers Ian, your the tops in my world! Not to mention The Hunter/ Ronson Band one of RnR's VeryBest! Very grateful having seen them perform together at the Central Park music festival in 79 or 80 ,at a lose for which year it was.What can i say? I sat 2nd row rt in front of Ronno, I waited in line all day .When they let us in, i ran like hell to grab that seat It was just Fantastic !
Going back to the summer of 1983. Just one of those songs which is so instantly recognizable. When music videos ruled the airwaves. Growing up in Canada I didn't have access to MTV but living only 45 minutes from Northwest New York State I had realitves there. That's how I was able to watch MTV. My cousin passed away in 2007. But those are everlasting memories . By the time Canada eventually got MTV around 2000.But by then it was Trash.
Ian Hunter is one of my top 4 rock n roll heroes, along with Lennon, Townshend and Lynott. Love this song, great memories of watching this video on TV back in the early '80s.
Trust me good men are everywhere....It takes until about 40 to realized the exciting bad boys are not the mates they are cracked up to be!! Girls to not tend to like Good, solid men....they find them quite boring...until they mature....xo
Possibly the most under-appreciated and un-recognized genius in the history of Rock. Mott the Hoople should have been one of the best ever, instead of an also-ran. Ian still had a great career.
This is a great song that got some radio airplay in the mid-1980s and then disappeared (for those of us who didn't have the album/CD). Yet the melody, lyrics and plaintive message never left my mind. Thank goodness for the opportunity to rediscover these lost gems (and a bit of our youth)!
Always loved Ian,, I've seen him many times in Toronto back in the 80's ... Kind of miss Rono (RIP) ,, they made such a great duo... Gru up on the whole Bowie / Mott The Hoople / Lou reed / Iggy POP stuff.. I still listen to it and still love it to this day !!..
I still remember this song/video being in regular rotation for a while on Night Tracks on WTBS in Atlanta (Ted Turner town back then) as a kid staying up past curfew with an earphone plugged into my little TV. Night Tracks was a good source for not only a wider variety of music genres than MTV was playing at the time, but also for the more "obscure" tracks in the 80s that had their own videos too. It was also a good alternative for those of us who grew up poor and didn't have a cable subscription but could still tune into TBS on the UHF dial and keep the rabbit ears positioned just right :-) Always loved this song & I had a massive crush on the waitress too!
How could you NOT love this guy? Looks just like Robert Plant and is wildly cool...And look at his butler when he swigs from the champagne bottle in 1:25..heehee . This is the best of the 80's!!
The song is good enough to stand firmly on its own, but they did a great job with this video, as well. I loved the scene in the boat. It's strange, though, hearing this song and after it finishes, not hearing, "I used to see you on the avenue..."
I think I saw this video once in 1983 (most likely at a friend's house on USA's Radio 1990), and I'm not sure if I ever heard this song on the radio then, but I still remember it vividly. Styx's Mr. Roboto was a huge hit in '83, and this just slid under the radar? There is no justice.
Hold on a sec, this was filmed in 1982 - you're telling me that the guy playing the butler in this clip was 51 years old? No way! That man looks like he's in his 20's
While I was never a huge Mott The Hoople/Ian Hunter fan, I have loved this particular song (and video) for 30 years now, even spent a lot of time in the '90s trying to find the damn album/CD with no luck. But I had NO IDEA that Carol Miller was in this video until I just read it here in some of the comments, pretty damn cool. :-)
Who’s watching in 2000? What I did is just sat back and thought of all the great songs from the 80s so this is what came up as one of my favorites all the English hit one hit wonders. sit back and enjoy. Such catchy music and so true lyrics ha ha.
I REMEMBER seeing the title of this song in a newspaper article back during the mid-1980s -, but I never wound-up hearing the actual song itself. Even on the "retro" music-video shows that were often aired during the early 1990s (for instance -, VH-1's "The Big `80s"), or on the "VH-1 Classic" cable-channel -, I have never wound-up seeing hearing/seeing this song/video. None-the-less, I had always though that the song's title/hook-line was such a "truism", that it wound-up sticking in my memory for all of these decades. ~ Sooo -, about 30 years after-the-fact, on the Sept. of 2014 night that I am writing this -, I FINALLY searched-out and heard this song FOR THE FIRST TIME. ... and that causes me to ask the questions: WHY wasn't this song a bigger "hit" back then ? ... and WHY has it (seemingly) been forgotten since then ?
I saw it on a 'M' TV - maybe not 'MTV' but VH1. I loved it immediately when 20 something. Now with internet I sought it out and (sign) so true at 52ish. Others were cool, "Save, Save, Save Me From Tomorrow....Ship of Fools" and "Beautiful World" (Devo). and 15 years in the future I'll look back at "How We End Up Alone" Hurt. (I miss Mahrya 3:55).
Saw this once on MTV waaay back in '84 when cable tv was a luxury. Heard it twice over the past 30 years but never 4got it. Just one of those songs that's so good it stays with you. Great to hear it again, great hooks...
Just saw you in concert at mt tabor I standed all the way back to the wall wearing a ny giants jacket! ! U still kicking it at 75 keep up the good work!!!
Same! that was my favorite part of the video too... great choreography. One of the few songs where I actually felt a little sorry for the “rock star” :-)
@Skulldini No, his name was Captain Haggerty. He passed in 2006. He was a prolific pioneer in the dog training world. he wasn't in the Popeye movie but he was in a lot of other movies.
I don't know the name of the bald butler, but he was a popular character actor in the 80s. For the fans--Not only is Ian sans-shades in a few scenes, but he's strumming his signature "H" guitar, which I've heard, has since been lost to time. I really liked htis song a lot when it came out..

I worked on this video as a production assistant. He was a really nice guy. And I always thought it was such a catchy tune.
You must have met my dad. Captain Haggerty
Great work on the diner scene at the end.
Who was the actress playing the waitress?
This is my first time seeing it and this has been one of my absolute favorite songs of all time, since it came out. I'm not much of a video watcher, though.
Coincidentally, it used to remind me of my first love, who was also a PA in those days.😏 Lifetimes ago!

I saw you and your Girlfriend..Debbie...👍
God Bles you may she RIP
Sounds like a song.
You were among those that Ian was referring to when he'd sang "watching the lovers go by"! 😀
debbie would have been 73 now ..wow how time flys
Ian Hunter may be the most underrated artist in history. If you count his solo work, and that with MOTT, plus songs he wrote that others covered, it is a big body of great work.
he's close to the most underrated. but I'd have to say the kinks are...
***** OH, yeah, I am with you on The Kinks, but during the 60s, they actually got quite a bit of resepect for a while. It's a close call.
Casey Vee yeah but the kinks are beatles, stones level but for some reason aren't...
While I was never a big Mott The Hoople (I do like 'All The Young Dudes') or Ian Hunter fan, I do happen to LOVE this song and video.
Probably one of my favorite music videos of all time.
And famous New York DJ Carol Miller is in it as well (black dress at the very beginning)!
@@ranxerox76D yeah!! I agree, but also Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe should be in the conversation!!
This was one great song. I could never figure out why this song wasn’t on regular rotation on the radio? …
I saw it on a lot in the summer of 83.
It was huge on MTV. Love this song!!!
A very rare glimpse of Hunter without shades...
Ian Hunter is one of the top five best songwriters ever produced in rock ‘n’ roll. He’s also got a great stage presence when he was younger. The fact that he’s 83 and working with all these superstars in the business show how important he was to rock ‘n’ roll from the early 70s till now.

Ian Hunter is ridiculously underrated!
37 years later, I still love this song and video.
I love the way hot women looked in the 80's.
I bought the album as soon as it came out (my favorite Ian Hunter album), but I only found out there was a video for this song a few years ago (wasn't much of a TV watcher).
I honestly think this is one of the coolest videos of the 80's, but for some reason it's always overlooked. I was 16 when I saw it. I'd never even heard of Mott the Hoople. Ian Hunter hooked me with this video.
This video was the first time I saw what he looked like without shades! I've been a fan of his since about 1972.
Came here to count all the underrated comments. As I’ll add my own.
I've listened to it at least once a day, every day since my last comment five days ago. I just recently found it again after years of not hearing it. Takes me back to the very early years of my life after I found and married my wife. It's like reliving a bright Saturday morning with her all over again. I miss you everyday hon. Don't forget to come get me when my time comes, can't wait to hold you again.
Got your heart broken in the 80s this was your theme song.
I actually recorded this music video with my VCR when it first aired on FRIDAY NIGHT VIDEOS in the 80's.
I also recorded on my VCR. Almost wore it out replaying it over and over again because the babes were so damn good lookin and I could relate to the song.. The women in this vid did not have to be half naked to look good.
Friday Night Videos too !
Vcr..
I loved my tapes...
I recorded thriller when it was first played on mtv ...and the police every little thing she does is magic..eooo.eooo
MTV también lo pasaba de vez en cuando en su programación
Same here!!!!
Omg, did you see hunter without his shades. Remember his brilliant album shades . if he walked past me without his shades, I wouldn't recognise him, and I'm his biggest fan in the whole wide world. My hero and mentor..
Yeah! He is a rockn'roll hero.

This dude had a way of delivering a song that felt so right and down to earth! Thank You Ian Hunter! Loved so many of your songs! This one being one of so many!
Absolutely!
Ian is a genius, sad that he never got the recognition he deserved (ofc he's famous and all but he should be at top of the list of legends)
発売当時、この曲が大好きでした。たまたまyoutubeで、この曲のMVに出会えて懐かしく嬉しかったです。
最新のイアンのCDもお気に入りです。
Awesome song! I remember first seeing this on NBC's Friday Night Videos back in the 80s. I guess it was the network's way of competing with upstart channel MTV at the time.
Ian Hunter is the man.

Same here. Was watching videos before MTV too. I got MTV at the start but already knew these videos. I miss that time soooooooo much
Great video from the golden age of MTV!

I saw Mott on the Broadway tour in 1974 in Toledo. Kansas opened the show. But Ian Hunter was someone who had the world in his hands.
Ian Hunter is one of my top 4 rock n roll heroes, along with Lennon, Townshend and Lynott. Love this song, great memories of watching this video on TV back in the early '80s.
I'd totally buy @motleyhoople3657 A pint!
This guy get it 🤘😎🤘
He's in my top three too. Rory Gallagher, Dave Edmunds, Ian Hunter.
That was a fun time for music. Miss it.
Great song... and sadly, so true
Unfortunately yes...sadly.
Trust me good men are everywhere....It takes until about 40 to realized the exciting bad boys are not the mates they are cracked up to be!! Girls to not tend to like Good, solid men....they find them quite boring...until they mature....xo
You can 'ave couple of the old ones in me past one vey lol
One of my favorite videos of all time. Classic!
That has gotta be the coooolest suit ever and a top toon to boot!
Possibly the most under-appreciated and un-recognized genius in the history of Rock. Mott the Hoople should have been one of the best ever, instead of an also-ran. Ian still had a great career.
Not everyone gets to influence David Bowie, The Clash, GnR and the Sex Pistols. I think that puts them up there with the best.
Blimey Ian thankfully is still with us at 85 yrs. Hope you're enjoying life still Ian
Great video.
Amazing song!
And those women....❤❤❤
That chorus is one of the best I've ever heard....Truly my mantra during my single years. Thank you Ian an unforgettable song!
This is a great song that got some radio airplay in the mid-1980s and then disappeared (for those of us who didn't have the album/CD). Yet the melody, lyrics and plaintive message never left my mind. Thank goodness for the opportunity to rediscover these lost gems (and a bit of our youth)!

What a great song! Loved this when it came out, & love it now... Ian Rules! Mott the Hoople rules!
If there were more justice in this world throughout the Godforsaken 80's then this single would've climbed up the charts.
How could you NOT love this guy? Looks just like Robert Plant and is wildly cool...And look at his butler when he swigs from the champagne bottle in 1:25..heehee . This is the best of the 80's!!
That's The Big Man on sax.

The song is good enough to stand firmly on its own, but they did a great job with this video, as well. I loved the scene in the boat. It's strange, though, hearing this song and after it finishes, not hearing, "I used to see you on the avenue..."
maybe I was mistaken, maybe I got it wrong, but all of the good ones are taken in my song! great line!
Great video! The Arthur angle was a stroke of genius!
That guy is a genius song writer of all times!!
A few days ago, I lost a good friend, who was such great inspiration to me. This song just gives me a little comfort.
I think I saw this video once in 1983 (most likely at a friend's house on USA's Radio 1990), and I'm not sure if I ever heard this song on the radio then, but I still remember it vividly. Styx's Mr. Roboto was a huge hit in '83, and this just slid under the radar? There is no justice.
Man, I really like this song. I've listened to it four times already this morning, and I'm going in for a fifth!!
The butler was played by Arthur J. "Captain" Haggerty (1931 - 2006). He had an interesting background - check his IMDB page.
Hold on a sec, this was filmed in 1982 - you're telling me that the guy playing the butler in this clip was 51 years old? No way! That man looks like he's in his 20's
@@jim2lane he had great genes. Until cancer got him at age 74.
this is one of the best songs ever written thank you Ian Hunter
Remember first seeing this as a 13 year old, loved it way back then, love it now
beyond adorable. ians lil Arthur routine is a hoot!
kris s holy throwback its my goofy post from years ago. ian such a regular guy but still a brit. loveable funny UK schlub. perfect tude for rock.
While I was never a huge Mott The Hoople/Ian Hunter fan, I have loved this particular song (and video) for 30 years now, even spent a lot of time in the '90s trying to find the damn album/CD with no luck.

You're not wrong Ian
Truth

Should be way bigger hit.

Always dug Ian's voice!!! Song holds up well for being 20 years old

I know what you mean. I haven't heard this song for over 30 years, but it somehow flashed into my mind, and thanks to UA-cam I could look it up.
Always loved this song. Who knew Don Imus could sing? lol
Great song...
how true is this, all the good ones are taken...
One of my favorite videos of all times. I like the babes in this vid.
That's so nice with a cool and a good song, people who hate the song, hate it because they don't understand! LOL!
how brilliant is that shot of the girls in the rain? I mean, c'mon...
I love Ian Hunter, I love this song! Thanks for the posting
Just saw you in concert at mt tabor I standed all the way back to the wall wearing a ny giants jacket! ! U still kicking it at 75 keep up the good work!!!
Now that, people, is a great song!
Should have been a big hit. I love the slow version too.
I have loved this song from childhood!!!!
Salt in my tears, Martin briley, thanks
Mick Ronson on guitar makes it special!
Ronno on a guitar DOES make it special!🤘😎🤘
But I'm pretty sure he didn't play on this track- Jimmy Rip has the credit for this one!
Dam ! I don't know why I love this song so much!
Love the choreography starting at 2:46. Wonder how many takes were done to get this just right (and so entertaining)?
Probably not many as Ian is such a perfectionist...
Same! that was my favorite part of the video too... great choreography. One of the few songs where I actually felt a little sorry for the “rock star” :-)
isn't it just timeless.
YES, it does seem like ALL OF THE GOOD ONES ARE TAKEN THESE DAYS!!!!!!
Thanks for the post -- great to see Carol Miller back in the day, too.
Ian, is the best! This is a cool video for the MTV era!
A blast from the past, my past.
On top of his game here!
always loved this underrated song !!!!
@Skulldini No, his name was Captain Haggerty. He passed in 2006. He was a prolific pioneer in the dog training world. he wasn't in the Popeye movie but he was in a lot of other movies.
My favorite Ian Hunter song!
I don't know the name of the bald butler, but he was a popular character actor in the 80s. For the fans--Not only is Ian sans-shades in a few scenes, but he's strumming his signature "H" guitar, which I've heard, has since been lost to time. I really liked htis song a lot when it came out..
@@Braindazzled that was Captain Haggerty. His bigger claim to fame was as a prolific dog trainer and a pioneer in the field of dog training.
This song breaks my heart! I kinda feel his pain!
Great video. I love it. He wore that suit well.
One of the first videos I saw on MTV. Great tune.
This has to be the perfect music video. An entire mini-movie with a story, characters and a conclusion. Peak perfection.
What a great guy. I remember this video early MTV days. Love his music, especially this song
