Susanna Hoffs is next level. Even as a six year old at the time i remember staring at her like she was a disney princess.
Shes so cute n little you could practically put her in your pocket ❤❤❤❤
Im fluffy as h
All G
They are all so beautiful but yeah I feel you bro
This has to be the hottest band of the 80s I mean they gotta be.
Man Susanna Hoffs knew how to work the camera !!! Beautiful and legendary...
Muy buena observacion lá suya....lá chica mas linda de lá década del 80
did you know that her eye roll was total accident she never knew the camara was on her at that time she cut her y\eyes because someone yells something to her side, but awesome how she was flirting with the camera accidentally
@@keithwooten4773 I heard it’s also she has stage fright so she didn’t want to look at the crowd when they were filming the video.
If you watch her during this performance (and who wasn’t looking at her, let’s be honest) you can see her face never looks at the crowd.
@@keithwooten4773Thank you for that update, as an admirer of this band and Ms Hoffs I’ve always thought she was rolling those gorgeous eyes 👀 on purpose. What a stunner she still is. 🔥
She's wonderful in general. After the bamd broke up, she single-handedly worked to get a reunion to happen. She's literally the lifeblood of the band, and cared more about it than the rest of the ladies appeared to.
No drummer, no power to the guitars, and sounds JUST like the studio album. Such unbelievable talent
Even on the Album, there was no Drummer. It was a Drum Machine only
Funny April fools joke! :)
Look, I wanna belive they are not lipsyncing to a pre-recorded track, but that whistle.. I mean.. come on..
They were hot, that's really all they needed
it was the work of an enemy stand
I must admit, I watch these videos just to stare at Susanna Hoffs. They are all beautiful but she’s the one.
👀
Cuál es Susana Hoffts ?? La Primera que Canta , la Segunda , Tercera o Cuarta ??
@@alvaromarchant4011 3rd, with the grey dress
I fell in love with her in this video
Thats why the band failed hahaha
36 years later and Susanna can still kill me with those eyes.
You got that right.
which one is susanne hoffs?
🔥 🔥 👁 👁 🔥 🔥
@@theshuriken the little Brunette that sings the third verse
Agree. Incredibly gorgeous.
We lost our house that year(1987). I was 14. I used to listen to this on my walkman while I was delivering papers. Good memories of a tough time,
Glad it helped you get thru it
as an Egyptian i have to say Susan Hoffs was just gorgeous .. stunningly beautiful ... and still is
That drummer just having the time of his life
Soundtrack of my life...worked on cruise ship, sung in production show..memories..FUN FUN FUN... I wish I appreciated it back then.
Susanna Hoffs is the most stunningly beautiful creature of all time.
I'm 70 yo male, loves rock'n rolls music, haven't this song for 40 years, didn't realize how great this song is. Miss music from 60, 70 & 80's. Great talent back then
A 70 year old with great music taste! ❤
Not quite as senior, but from the class of '84
The Greatest Year in Rock Music
Yes, GOD Smiled that Year.
Susanna hoffs is the best humanity has to offer...
Best what ?
Better than Homer Simpson?!?
@@KhoaTran-x9idon't insult Momer Simpson like that!¡ 😅😅😅😅
The GORGEOUS Dian on
The Price is Right.
Ah, this song really reminds me of the time where me, my grandson along with a couple of our friends went on a roadtrip to Egypt for 50 days. Those 50 days were truly fun...
Yeah that was a bizarre adventure
sadly a few did pass along the way like a little dog, a guy who licked cherries and a fiery magician
Michelle Phillips, Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry, Susanna Hoffs and Belinda Carlisle are timeless beauties from my youth that I had crushes on!
Susanna Hoffs is a truly beautiful woman and a voice to match she is the Angel in the Bangles
She’s beautiful and so are the other ladies too
Raw talent is what this is. You just can’t find this anywhere . These ladies are goddesses .
I used to love hearing this song at the discotheque, I used to visit in my prime, in the 1980’s.
What a time to be alive.😊👍
Suzanna Hoffs is one of the most beautiful creatures ever
creatures is wild
Suzanna had a lot more going for herself than her great beauty. When she left and did other songs without the Bangles, she was still hot. A great brain, guitar playing and dancing moves added to her talents with her eyes.
😊😊@@lescobrandon3047
Susanna is the “Queen of the side-eye glance”. So hot!
Yes she is so beautiful, but so is the rest of the band... but at the end of the day their talent should trump that...
Joseph Burchill Ummm, ok. Are you White Knighting for their honor, or...? If so, how noble of you.
And honestly, you talk about “their talent”. Without looking it up, can you name 5 of their songs?
I agree!!!!
And PRINCE was the king of it
100% agree with you. Her eyes captivate me. 2:45
Susanna Hoffs is adorable its easy to see why so many young kids were so attracted
It's just crazy what a tight band they were. We took it all for granted back then. Amazing.
The amount of playback here is unsurmountable and unmeasurable
Nothing beat this bizzare song
Stardust crusaders
Rock Lobster Was A Strange, Older Song❤🎉Kate And Cindy Are Beautiful❤😊
This band was so underrated, they were all great vocalists.
Thank you UA-cam. Makes me appreciate the talent of these ladies even more!
How can a song be so simple, so silly, and yet pure genius?
I cannot take my eyes off of Susanna Hoffs! Just exquisite!
Haha I feel like with this band you’re either into Susanna Hoffs or Micki Steele. I’m in the later camp because I find her the height of sexy. Love her sultry voice.
Looks like a child ;)
I like her lady lumps.
My favorite of the bunch, something with her looks and voice that puts her on top but i think there all good in there own way.
@@BakkerSamuel you good???
Hoffs is absolutely stunning but I want to say that the Bass player Michael Steele is without a doubt truly gorgeous looking too 🔥😍♥️
Reminds me of a very bizarre adventure me, a Frenchman, an Egyptian, A Japanese, a wealthy American real estate tycoon man and a dog that likes coffee gum. Went on to save someone’s mother from an unknown illness.
We were spoilt in 80,90,00’s glad to grow up in it, will never happen again
The WOMEN in The Bangles are smart, intelligent, creative and talented. They deserve praise and respect.
I remember as a small boy waking at 5:30am and having to wait until the TV stations come back on at 6am. After the Canadian anthem this commercial came on. Great memories from an innocent time.
1 of my favorites 80s female band especially Michael steel. She's so beautiful
Yes! And survived Orange County!
everybody is talking about how susanna hoffs is beautiful and i just fell in love with Michael Steele
on god
Micheal was always my favourite Beautiful
Same!!!
Exactly.. she's gorgeous
Same here, also loved the way she played that Fender bass
Susan's eyes can melt a snowman at 10 paces
She was dirty hot. She's still very pretty. But man in this time frame she was smoke.
what does it mean at 10 paces
@fetakbuzna it just means her cute gaze can melt a snowman heart that far away.
@@fetakbuzna They go togther with pistols at dawn
@michaelschultz5127 She is my age, but while I morphed from a strapping young buck into a chubby old man, she just keeps getting prettier and prettier.
The best 80's channel on UA-cam
Man, they are all great, but when Susan sings, it goes to a whole new level. Love when they played "The Seeds" music, so cool.
I hurt my back walking like an Egyptian. Now I have to see a Cairo-practor.
So fucking stupid it's funny 🤣
You must’ve been in _De-Nile_ about your pain before you went.
Very clever
Very clever 😂

And on drums,,,, the Invisible Man.

A GROUP OF TALENTED BEAUTIFUL WOMEN!😋 👍

You can see why Prince loved Susanna Hoffs

You can see how good Ms Hoffs and the girls are by the bad taylor i used to employ for my trousers !!
Prince is one of the immortals fantastic artist and a wonderful song writers ever mind you hes deed now!!!!
1:06 Michael Steele on the bass ❤❤❤
i
All the Bangles gals are beautiful on their own. Susanna is just on her own level.
I love that bass player!
Michael Steele.
shes the coolest, little moves and facial expressions are class, even better in the vevo version
After Kim Fowley fired her from the Runaways, he told her she’d never make it in rock and roll. She sure proved him wrong
I remember when this song 1st came out and kids in my school would yell out walk like an egyptian and the whole hallway would start doing the walk ..good times
@@sampla86 You obviously don't know what a Boomer is...
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge You obviously don't know what a joke is..
@@probablekickups you obviously FOOL! YOU FELL FOR IT! THUNDER CROSS SPLIT ATTACK
SUSANNA HOFFS..ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!
Vikki is hot as well!
Nunca vi a una baterista hacer coros y tocar la pandereta. Es raro escuchar una canción sin batería. La canción es preciosa y la puesta en escena magnífica
Vicki Peterson is just perfect. Creative, sensational drive, stage presence, musicality - perfect.
Not to mention ridiculously gorgeous.🥰❤
Better looking here than in the official video, too.
YES! and Michael Steele also!!
Yes. She is so underrated its absurd
I thought song belong to bananarama
Oh there's other band members??? Never noticed cuz I was so fixated on Susanna Hoff
Susanna Lee Hoffs , one of the most cutest/ most gorgeous singers (& rhythm guitarists ) Rock & Roll has ever seen!! With her own Rickenbacker guitar also..Beautiful & ageless too! Mrowrrrrr ..!!!
OH SUSANNA!!!! Those were the days!! 🎉😃👍👍
Nothing will compare to growing up during the mid 70’s until late 80s Those Days are gone forever as sad is that is to day - watching footage bring vivid memories of growing up at that time -
❤I was 21 then and so in love with Susan,who else ?
Which one is susanna?
The one who sings the last verse. And the answer is everyone. Everyone was/is in love with her.
I like her but my crush is😊 Michael
I was only 11 and didn't even think about them I don't think but I think I would have been nore attracted to the one on the far left if I did
@@pardosamurai Obama?
Great music, eye candy galore! These guys. . .uh. . .chicks ROCK!
Today is tuesday. This is Arif. It is such a great song. I fell in love with this song when I first heard it. The Bangles are a great group. Thank you & have a good day & good bye.
Today is Monday. This is such a great comment. I fell in love with it when I first read it. Arif Inamdar is a great guy. Thank you & have a good day & good bye.
...hmmm susannah just rocks it, when she's on the mic, my whole body my entirety is listening. Shout out to Maliks (Egyptians) too. 🖖✌️🤘
I love how each one gets a turn - they are all awesome!
I actually never noticed that just listening. Not something that is, or can be, done very often.
@@l337pwnage except for the drummer it seems
She whistled@@gregjanover741
Well I for one humbly disagree, the camera should only be on Susanna ;-)
I got to see them live at the Irvine Amphitheater for a 4th of July show, and they definitely rocked. The lead guitar is an amazing performer.
Reminds me of Great Days when my grandpa brought me to Egypt to meet his grandfather's step brother.
Must have been an adventure. A BIZZARE adventure
@@emssasukeisunderrated7946 Maybe with crusaders. STARDUST crusaders!
how did the Egyptians walk?
Really wow you are moore important than u may think shhhh
wierd ... my gramps took me to egypt to meet his brothers grandfather
The Bangles are the 4 Beautiful and Talented Princesses of ROCK! ♥️🏅🥀🌷🌻🌼😍
Gorgeous woman in every way!
2:45 - Had a huge crush on her in the 80s.
When pop was about music and not brand image. Also best drum machine ever! Even looks like a drum kit.
She's still insanely hot to this day, it's crazy
Everyone has their own favorite Bangles member.
... and that member is Susanna Hoffs.
🎸 - THEY ALL SUPER EXCELLENT, IN THEIR OEN RIGHTS, WITH THEIR INDIVIDUAL TALLENTS AND COOPRATIVELY WORKING AS AN EXCELLENT MUSICAL TEAM! - 🥁 + YOUTHFUL DYNAMICS, NOTHING LESS! DYNAMICAL!
Susanna really is something else…I’ve never saw a woman as beautiful as her I’m stunned! lord have mercy 😍😍😍😍
Never was into the 80's music scene but The Bangles were an exception. Four very talented, very beautiful ladies
They were average at best. 50+ better bands from the 80s to listen to.
man go listen to henk wijngaard instead
80s music scene? Dude its an entire decade.
Bbbbppp u
@@KRIAJK Truly spoken by some idiot who wasn't even born or old enough to remember this era. But hey, how is your Taylor Swift soundtrack treating you?
What an AMAZING lesson in, “You never know”….
If someone pitched me this song, and said it would be a hit and even 20+ years later, it will still be a historic song….
I would have laughed until the sun went down.
They thought that then. They hated this song but needed a song to finish their album so they recorded it. The drummer hated it and didn’t perform on it except mining the whistle part v
Susanna got all the attention, but all four of them had really good voices. It's hard to find videos where you can pick out Debbie's voice, but even she has a nice, lower, husky voice. She'd kill it as a blues singer.
He walks like an Egyptian and I like it. Thank you for this upload ❤️
Here are the lyrics :
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know?
If they move too quick (oh whey oh)
They're falling down like a domino
All the bazaar men by the Nile
They got the money on a bet
Gold crocodiles (oh whey oh)
They snap their teeth on your cigarette
Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
The blonde waitresses take their trays
They spin around and they cross the floor
They've got the moves (oh whey oh)
You drop your drink, then they bring you more
All the school kids so sick of books
They like the punk and the metal band
When the buzzer rings (oh whey oh)
They're walking like an Egyptian
All the kids in the marketplace say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Slide your feet up the street, bend your back
Shift your arm then you pull it back
Life is hard you know (oh whey oh)
So strike a pose on a Cadillac
If you wanna find all the cops
They're hanging out in the donut shop
They sing and dance (oh whey oh)
They spin the clubs, cruise down the block
All the Japanese with their yen
The party boys call the Kremlin
And the Chinese know (oh whey oh)
They walk the line like Egyptian
All the cops in the donut shop say
(Whey oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh)
Walk like an Egyptian
Walk like an Egyptian
Beauty and Talent ! , what else could you want ? THE BANGLES ROCK !!! ❤🤩🤟👏👍🎼🎸
You’re kidding,right ? 😂
i want her for just one night only.
There is a lot of stuff going on here. There is phantom guitar, keyboards and drums.
In any regard, it's one of the most memorable pop-rock songs ever recorded and will be heard for a long time.
They're not phantoms, they're just being played by the band member's Stands.
It always amazes me this song that you hear the drummer so clearly in spite of the fact she is out front with the rest of them and the drums are empty!!
What great memories.......
I was sailing on the Nile when I first heard this song.
We went nuts.......
No way! That's rad!
Nice song
Susanna Hoffs is SMOL
Daaaaaaaang Susanna Hoffs was/is FIIIIIIINNNEEEE !!!!
I remember when this hit MTV...what early 86
I love this version
This is the way I feel about ' Crimson and Clover ' by Joan Jett
Their commitment, just like Joannie,.... to the impact on the fans of True Music is more than noteworthy
All i gotta say is Sussana Hoffs .....and I'll leave it there......😉🖒
There is a lotta love for her on the comments here - I am not surprised at all
It's just AMAZING how these talented women manage to perform with their electric guitars unplugged and no drummer in sight -- despite the song's driving beat. What manner of sorcery is this?
They’re in house Ravenclaw….
This song was ALWAYS done with a drum machine. Ever heard of it?
@@r3mdh I didn't just land here from another planet. The song *could* be performed with live percussion, and gernerally speaking, live performances are what audiences pay to see. Anyway, relax.
The 80's - Bangles smashed it.Can't say of the US, though on the UK they made a huge impact
@@ianmarks4481 redditor
Hey guys, who else was in love with Susanna back then?
Me, and about a hundred million other guys!
So focused on Susannah back then(and still) Never realized how pretty the other Girls were😍..Especially Michael Steele
Saw them at Carnegie hall in 72 or 73, one of my favorite shows of all time
Four cute girls, no tattoos, no facial piercings, just wholesome, pretty girls. I love the Bangles!
Tattoos and piercings are the epitome of pure evil
And no dicks
Nose piercing would've made the one in the grey dress even hotter
@@alightthatnevergoesout Are you serious? Nose piercing is gross and disgusting! Like something you would do to a bull!
Tattoo are fugly. At a distance they look like a bad bruise. Its one fad that cannot go out of style too quick
Susanna Hoffs is babelicious! T-gurl Jayne!
The bass player has a great voice too.
She was originally in the band The Runaways but couldn't stand the manager who was a perv.
Her name's Michael "Micki" Steele and she played an awesome bass.
This is always such a great Bangles song! Great job for them!
Love Susanna then and still now. 🥰😍😘

I miss the 80s so bad.

Oh, those two glittering diamond eyes of Susanna!
I admit I was in love with Suzannah Hoffs as a teenager. Total perfection.
Ofc what else?🙈
Still is!
Los ojos muy hermosa como Linda Ronstadt
She literally almost looks the same. I'd say she still looks 30 it's crazy
She somehow has gotten even better looking with age too
For those asking - it's a synth drum setup, complete with gong and bongos.
Susanna is 100% a 🌟 !
Vicki peterson for me ❤️❤️
@@rayphillips6060 she is rock chick
During the height of its popularity. They built a brand new roller skating facility close to my home. Needless to say we practically lived up there.when this song came on all the kids including myself would lose their minds. Different world back then..I only wish I could return.
You can't beat 80s beauty its so hypnotizing.
I sure is.
But this video seems to be missing a drummer.....

Her and Micheal always get my attention yes susana is really pretty just not really drawn towards I guess
next to Slash's desert church solo in the November rain video, these are the best sounding unplugged guitars i've ever heard.
Lol u dumbass
Ah this brings back memories! First vinyl my sister and I were given as kids, we loved the Bangles so much! 😍😍 still do
This song was absolutely massive in 1986! Showing my age but yes we were all doing that walk when this tune was everywhere😄😄😄
I remember it being brand new in my teens... I still have no idea what on earth they are singing about.
@@BantonOrg so after 7 years UA-cam suggests this to me. And here’s a new comment😂
@@BantonOrg btw, that last Bangle was smokin’, eh!
Anyone notice how the drummer is missing yet you can hear the drums playing...That's Top Of The Pops for you.......lololol
I can't say I was doing that walk, but you're right. It was huge, although I liked manic monday better.
Great song , great band and beautiful Vicki Peterson.
