I met Nick Marsh backstage after their show when I was 12 at the Universal Amphitheater, they opened up for Gene Loves Jezebel. It was my first concert and they stole the show. I had the Biggest crush on him and couldn't speak when he shook my hand. I was petrified. So sweet to me. I had no idea he died...so sad.
WOW,that is soo cool and incredible!You went to a show with Flesh For Lulu and Gene Loves Jezebel performing!?What an exceptional first concert experience!I saw Gene Loves Jezebel in the nineties, and met both brothers.
I loved this song in the 80s, it was part of one of my favorite movies "Some kind of wonderful" and just enjoyed dancing to it. Still love it, because great music is timeless and 80s was the best era in music.
New wave and punk are not very distinct. New wave is a genre that was born out of post-punk. Bands like Payola$, 999, Magazine combine punk rock with new wave, and they are early 80s.
@@abbynormal9836 lot of truth there. To me it’s punk at the core and all the adjacencies like new wave stack up from there including proto and garage. Love these guys for all the good reasons 🤙🏼
Shocked and very saddened to hear that Nick has passed away!. If you define the 80's by it's music then for me 'I go Crazy' has to be up there for one of the best songs of that era, when I listen to it I'm taken straight back to that great time, and even better the song is part of one of my favorite movies 'Some Kind of Wonderful', without doubt the best cult 80's movie ever!..that film showcased the musical talent that was around at that time and boy was there so much creativity and amazing originality from groups like Flesh for Lulu (and such great band names!)....I wish I could go back in time to when I first discovered them to experience that excitement yet again!.... R.I.P Nick your music will live on forever!!!.

Anne Mana: The '80's was the decade where the Mainstream-hating hippies, civil & (anything but) equal right marchers, and, counter-culture became teachers, business owners, municipal/county/State/federal leaders & enforced the political-correctness they gave birth to when they were young and stupid. So if you ever complain about P.C., it was these über-liberals that have our society/World so fcked-up. They're bodies are old, but their "young & stupid" mentality refuses to.. The Mainstream they are marching against is the one they created since the '60's. Liberalism (political correctness) slings right past "disorder " and body-blocks common sense to be a raging, hard-corps, mental illness. When you complain about P.C., thank a Black and/or woman.
Best track in the movie.. & the powerful instrumental song playing in the background when Mary Stuart Masterson is feeling all sad and jamming on her drums.
Me and my 1969 convertible vw. Always have this song on first. And dancing with caveman. Our very dear friend. My husband this is his town so i got introduced to all the gang members, all his school friends and party friends, now me and my husband are like one person since 1994. You wont see us apart.
Just saw 'Some Kind of Wonderful' on TV, and all kinds of memories came flooding back of when I took a girl to see that movie in 11th grade(1987). Very cool.
I moved to NYC in 1981 listening to WKTU disco. At some point between '83-'84 I discovered WLIR and that became the music I most identify with to this day. The latest from The Cure, Siouxsie, PSB, Depeche Mode, New Order all beaming into my apartment and place of work from Garden City, LI. This was on their playlist for probably 6 months but it's a really catchy song.
I was really crazy about this song that I have it recorded in a C-60 cassette tape back to back this one song and played auto-reverse while driving the highway 🤣🤣😂 I was young, a little bit wild, and carefree! 🤣😂🤣
Liked Flesh for Lulu before i ever seen some kind of wonderful. Postcards from paradise was first song i ever heard from them. Still one of my favorite groups of all time.
I met them outside of First Avenue, (Mpls MN) when they were touring with Public Image Limited. The bass player (who resembled Marco Pironni) asked for a good restaurant to go to. I recommended the Nankin chinese restaurant a block away. Knowing the song but not knowing what they looked like, I was surprised to see the same guys I gave restaurant recommendations to on stage performing this song and many others. Good times back in the '80s...
GuyTVUSA I saw so many freaking great concerts back in the day at First Ave! My mom always did takeout from the Nankin, but I was more of a Chi-Chi's guy.
Some Kind of Wonderful was one of my favourite films of the 80's, i thought this song was brilliant and brought it on twelve inch, can't believe that was almost 30 years ago the song still sounds fresh today, and they are still touring?...blimey!.
So Understanding Jane came to mind and immediately, I Go Crazy pops into my head and I had to come back to the video again. Alternative dance clubs, dressing in black with shiny buckles on black leather boots, way before goth. Yes GLJ was another one of my favorites from those days. 91X in San Diego and KROQ in Los Angeles, two killer radio stations that mark a great period of time and unfortunately that era is gone but not forgotten. 😎
Just watched uncal buck and heard slide from flesh for lulu and all of a sudden im back in high school I can almost hear the crowd of kids walking in the hallways of that old school and smell the cafeteria wow how I miss those days. I tell my kids every day to live life have fun and at the same time I say as long as ur grades are good lol I guess I'm doing good with them my oldest is going to Texas Tech university now
Flesh for lulu were on a soundtrack to an early john cusac movie but I can't remember the title of the song or which one of his movie it was for the life of me. Any idea?
Berlin Saint Clair: WLIR on Long Island was the NYC area (signal problems) equivalent of KROQ. And there was a film docu. made about the station. Most of my almost 200 12” alternate versions of those great songs come from LIR.
I saw these guys with PIL . It was awesomeness. It was the plastic fantastic tour . This was U.K. To us in the US . He is sporting the old school record store made batman shirt. You used to be able to buy bootleg punk shirts at record stores and you would get a free crappy record folded inside the shirt instead of boring card board .
I'm a little late to the party, but I remember dancing to this and a few other FFL tunes at Medusa's in Chicago. I had to buy a CASSETTE...wore it out!🥰
damn i could not forget my new wave days 80's allthough im a punkrocker that time listening fresh for lulu's i go crazy year 1987 i was in highschool wearing 80's trend fashion cool!
You can tell I've been out of the loop, I didn't hear about Nick Marsh until today. Will definitely be making a donation to his personal charity for cancer research. RIP Nick, you and your music will never be forgotten.
Saw them live in a small club in Southampton, Long Island on a super hot and humid night. This was the mid 80's. I'll never forget being right up to the stage and seeing the band nearly dying from the brutal heat. (Nick: "It's fking HOT!")

These dudes are too cool. The rising new wave meets the classic punk rock look. Rest In Peace Nick Marsh and long live Flesh For Lulu!!!

ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
This movie defines my high school years. The whole soundtrack is amazing!
Just saw 'Some Kind of Wonderful' on TV, and all kinds of memories came flooding back of when I took a girl to see that movie in 11th grade(1987). Very cool.
Yesh!
I also saw that movie in the spring of 87. It’s such a bittersweet time capsule of a film.
Definitely one of the coolest names for a band
That and “the The”
For me it's a tie in between Flesh for Lulu and Everything but the Girl 🤔
Saw them live in college around 1990 at UCI Crawford Hall. Opened up for PIL. What a great show, and what a great time to be alive. RIP Nick Marsh!
Reminds me of my high school days 🇵🇭
R.I.P. Nick Marsh. An inspiration. Long Live The New Flesh!
Rest in peace, Nick. Your music will always have a huge place in my life.
Check out the guitarist's other band Wasted Youth!

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. I was in high school when this came out, I played the shit out of it.
What was another of your fave songs on the album?

Another great track featured on John Hughes movie Some Kind Of Wonderful,not a hit in UK so would of missed this otherwise..
Same here,got the movie music cd now
love the 80s and never heard this song before. feels like its that decade all over again.
Watch more John Hughes movies for the greatest music selected from his personal collection for all his films
Won’t disappoint ☝🏾
RIP Nick. Thank you for the great years of music!!! You will never be forgotten.
this was my wedding song...still strong married life.
Very underrated band! Excellent song writing.
We are the one making them immortals. Keep playin the song.

Great movie song. Well sorted mr. Hughes!

One of the best concerts I ever saw.... front row..
"Some Kind of Wonderful" song. AWESOME.
This is a song from '87 I love this song!
I bought their tape on a whim having never heard them before and was just blown away. I figured with a name like that they must be good.

Ariel Butcher her name in the movie was watts
I remember listening to this song when I was cruising around Las Vegas in 1986, love you flesh for lulu

Truely an ageless song! 💖

Don't think it was Cusack. Eric Stoltz flick "Some Kind of Wonderful", John Hughes produced.
Great, great soundtrack!
Nick, you will be forever missed.
Saw them open up for Gene Loves Jezebel @ The Beacon Theater NYC back in '88 I believe...anyone else there?
Saw them live as an opening act for a big time band back in the 80's. From that night I can't even remember the main act, just this song.
Goldgrinch probably Gene Loves Jezebelle
Maybe PIL
I saw them with Gene Loves Jezebel
@@odestome1 Since I saw Genes Loves Jezebelle, there's a good chance it was that show.
I felt great last night while driving home. I love this song!!!
Soooooo good. I miss these days. I grew up on KROQ fm in LA who played this song in heavy rotation. Awesome!
+Berlin Saint Clair Same here! It's funny how the only references to local radio station comments always mention KROQ, or for a brief time KNAC.
Berlin Saint Clair
IT WAS THE SHIT MAN!!!
80's surfing skating driving my roadrunner Redondo beach and KROQ

KROQ was the only radio station worth listening to back then. Southern California in the 80s was the best time to be in high school.
(Me and the girl in the picture--my wife now--grew up on it)
Thank you so much for uploading. ♥ Class of 1988, Watts and Keith, and FirstWave/33 brought me...
