All you in your twenties right now, mark my words, you'll turn 50, wonder where the time went, and all the songs you love today will be so bittersweet then. Great songs but your youth is forever tied to them and the songs to your youth. You can't imagine it now but you'll see. Love this song.
i'm currently in my 20s and I've been listening to oldies like this since middle school. I'm nostalgic for time periods I never even lived in. And you're right, I'm already experiencing bittersweet memories from songs in the early 2000s and 2010s 😥
@Paraone Ngatai I thought that was my feeling from being old and angry. But even a "mindless" pop.somg like this has significance. The transition of technology making what was prior obsolete. Pet shop boy's, as mindless as you could get, "Go West" was about communism. Music meant something. Grandmaster Flash had a heavy message about the desperation of lowest rung of society. Today's music has no soul or significance.
God, in a blink of an eye i became from a teen to a grandfather almost 60 this song brings good memories friends and high-school. Love this song and video a lot.❤
@@austincruz5757 Alright I just assumed it might had been in the 80's well only off by a year I didn't come along till the early 90's so Vice City was my only point of view of that era.
This was our house song in college at every party. Remember we all danced in the 80s, it was a great time to be alive. We don't seem to be having as much fun now. But then we didn't have the damage of the internet; which gives us child pornography and misinformation. Yippee
A timeless classic that has withstood the test of time. They were truly pioneers of music video. Imagine what would have happened if this video was not a smash success when MTV first launched in the 80s?
I see all the nostalgia here with this song. No different for me. I was 16 when this song came out. I am 60 now. My innocent teen years with my classmates all seem like such a distant memory now. I am glad I still hear from them all on facebook. Every time I do I remember songs like this. Great song.
I am from India.... This song was remade into hindi film song in 1983 by Bappi lahri for film " Disco dancer". I absolutely loved the tune then and even now. Much later i got to hear thos original masterpiece
She represents the video star, flashy, animated, superficial, dazzling, more visually appealing which is what video is all about. The other singer is the radio star who merely sounds good in comparison.
I born in 1985, still i love this song, always play in my car,we CAN'T rewind we have gone through far His sunglasses are looking futuristic.. in 2022 also

Horne actually sang "Put the blame on VTR." At the time there was a bit of confusion over whether it would be called "VCR" or "VTR" (for Video Recording Technology") and Horne placed the wrong bet LOL. He later changed it to "VCR" for live performances.
My 60 something years old Media professor randomly played this when we were going over television channels over the years. This came on when MTV was starting, he had no clue who this was scoffed at it, meanwhile I'm a 30 year old getting excited, and singing it in my head LOL I actually love this song, thanks guitar hero!

The MTV premiere and I was a young airman in Tech School chilling in the break room. That Owa Ohh always makes me smile to this day. And yes this is where Will I Am and Nicki Minaj got it from although I don't think she'd deny it. She always pays her respects.

The first☝️MUSIC VIDEO📽️played on MTV📺!!
And the last!!
August 1, 1981
I was 18...we all gathered for the Premiere of MTV! Now UA-cam is now my MTV on demand!
Ahh, MTV, that takes me back.
MTV was awesome back in the day! Why in the world did it turn into crap?
Yay money 💰
I was 10 when MTV came out and back then it was cool. Nowadays, it sucks and if MTV all of a sudden up and disappeared, I wouldn’t miss it one bit.
1st video MTV ever played! I remember it like it was yesterday!
Me 2, it wasn't this video.
I remember it like yesterday too?
ME Too!
Hell yes. 1981 and 15 years old. I was mesmerized.
Me and my cousin where listening to this when it came out on the radio. 56 today here i am ....

Vice City made us born in 91 realize what great music is. This song is forever embedded in my DNA
This is what you call music, its absolutely magical.
This song was the Anthem for the kids of the 80's like me. Much better times.
Yes, indeed.

Why are there two music videos for this song.
Seventies and eighties were the best yrs of my life
Life before 30 is everyones best years USUALLY.
1977-1994 or so especially the British Invasion in the 80s. Grew up in the best decades.
Classic never gets old I love this song miss the eighties
Sorry this is 1979.
My name in also Jerry

I love 80s music, and this brings back nostalgia. I would always play this on Just Dance 😭
This song is not 80's, my friend. It is barely 70's, but it did release in mid 79.
Still. This song was ahead of its time.
Yes.
1979 this one! Near enough!
"And now we meet in abandoned studios, we hear the play back and it seems so long ago". 🧡

I was born 1994
I saw this music video yesterday and listened to it today on my way home on the radio.
I was born in 1895 and i quite enjoy the "older" music...
As well as the "newer" music...
I enjoy the eclectic nostalgia of it all
60s 70s 80s music is several classes above any decades since.

1995 I think😊😊

His wife was accidentally shot in the neck by her son with a pellet gun. She had little oxygen to her brain and was an invalid after that.
Also joined Yes in 1980 and made the incredible album "Drama"
