As a 54 year old, my love and appreciation for the music back then is just growing day by day. This track still gives me the chills and a throwback in time. ❤ Miss those years.....
Her father was the great jazz musician Don Cherry, who i worked with in the 90s. Neneh was able to take care of him at the end of his life because of her success. A great lady!
@kenfrievalt7826 yeah, i never met Eagle Eye, but Don talked about him. He was proud of the kid. Eagle Eye had that one 6 once he got a look at the music 'industry' he didn't want anything to do with it. Smart guy. They will rob you blind then piss on you and tell you it's raining.
Summer of 89! Turning 19! Mannn, a great year for mysic!! I lived this song! Neneh had her own syle! She was fantastic! I enjoyed my teen years in the 80s! It was nothing like it!!!❤❤❤❤
This was one of my soundtracks to December 1988, just turned 18 passed my driving test and was enjoying a legal drink in the pubs. This song takes me right back there to a month I won't forget!!
Me too! I passed in the November. Was a rock head metal lover, but this girl was too cute and the groove was enchanting. Those were the best days, I miss my youth and many friends who never got to make it into the 2020's.
Oh, my! I'm taking my second test on October 1---at 56! (my first one was about a month or so ago!). I have some lessons before then, though! Here's hoping!
I was 9 or 10 when this came out, became a big fan of Neneh, had the casette and played it over and over. Imagine my surprise when a man came to school to teach us about african music. He said "Oh have you kids heard of Neneh Cherry? Thats my daughter". I was so starstruck just to meet her dad and took his autograph. 😂
For a commoner, that must have been a once in a lifetime experience. I have never met anyone who is really famous, but I can be somebody's bodyguard for sure, yeah, I have worked since age 20, and I'm a solid 6'5" 285# that nobody wants to mess with.
I used to listen to this on Jamie's 15 minute meals waiting for a cab to go to the hospital where my partner was going through chemo. What a time. Cancer free now for nine years.
It's still July 2024 and I'm almost 70 and I just had back surgery. I needed something that would make me move through the pain, so here I am listening to Neneh Cherry again and dancing in my chair lol. I've going to have a to hear this at least once more and then on to Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk lol. Have a great day y'all!
Here in August 2024 as Gen X going out to this music as young adult... and I wish that all this feeling and content could swap over the young adults now and having not only a 90s fashion revival but also this special feeling, no worries, connected to so many people, having self confidence, men and women both emancipated, living the life, living the love
Oh man, the parties we used to throw with this song bumping in the background. That was one crazy and unforgettable summer in Oklahoma City. Thanks Neneh for the great memories. Your timeless song will always be with me. 😊🙏🏾❤️
1989 was such a damn good year. Takes me back to that summer. This was on MTV, Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Ghostbusters 2 was on at the movies. I wanna go back.
my favorite most cherished year in my lifetime thus far, i am 40 now i was only 8 when this song came out but i remember so much from that year all from pop cultural references that brings me back to a time, a summer of innocence, care free adventures and inspired hope for the future. living in the current time, man do i cherish those memories more than ever.
I am singing it like it just came out yesterday. I love our generation. All music artists were great. We had music and not categories. I wish we could recycle this vibe.
You're so right! But this tune takes us all back to those days!! We need that more than ever now.. @3rd November 2023! UK ❤ I try and listen to as much music that takes me to a happy place. Healing/ Winning 2023 style!!😂
We definitely had music and sub culture categories back then. Metal to punk and goth were well defined by then. Its just that then even pop music industry was a ton more organic and diverse. Wheras its not now. Its like they make most of it through specific formula or algorithms. K popp bands are literally engineered to look dance and sound the same. Pretty much with American to Brit pop too these days too.
Exactly all music artist instead if it today with only half the artist being good. The ones that are really talented hardly get any airplay because they dont sound mainstream enough thanks to some ofnthese music comoanies. The good artist of tidaya re underrated and the other ones withiut aubtance get hyoed uo and out on a pedastal
Man I loved this jam when I used to watch it on MTV in the late 80s, back when they played VIDEOS!! Always liked her gold flight jacket. Never seen one like it before or since. You rule, Nenah!!!!
This song never gets old- last time I heard/ saw this was in the Hard Rock Cafe in Paris with my daughter! I took her to Paris for her 10th birthday and we got up and danced like two crazy foreigners to this banging beat! Then received a round of applause! Brings back memories of my childhood and now my motherhood! ❤️❤️❤️
This song instantly brings me back to summer 1989, early teens, hanging out at the lake trying to meet guys. We'd wear spandex shorts and cutoff tank tops, Ellise shoes, big clunky earrings and red lipstick. That was one of the best times of my life, and now in this shit year of 2021, I find comfort in my memory and the music that became the soundtrack of my life. I wish I could run and hide in my memory forever, back in the good old days before adulthood and responsibility... It's funny because I back then I wanted to be grown so bad, little did I know how great I actually had it. I wish I could've stayed 13 forever.
Haha, you echo my thoughts completely. In my mind, I’m still like 20 (sometimes 14 lol) and a lot of that has to do with how awesome times were back then. It’s not just a nostalgia thing, the world really has gone absolutely insane over the last couple of decades.. slowly at first, and then faster and faster. Welcome to the future. Not what I envisioned.
Wow you're comment made me cry because I wish I could go back to those days myself I remember how this country was back then as well everything you said is true we really didn't know what we had at the time because I sure do miss them so bad
Nene's vocal & bass line with intense riffs I think these alone make this song a very strong impression and influence on me. Also, Nene's personality really shines through in the way her sings, which is something you don't find with many other singers, and I think that's her strength in this song.
This is how it's done Ladies! The One. The Only. The Lady. The Legend. Miss Neneh Cherry! This Swedish Treasure is criminally underrated! She deserved a wider audience then! She deserves wider recognition NOW!
Notice the music doesn’t repeat a single word over and over or have auto tune and doesn’t use the n- word or vulgar language? This was last of true ol skool rap/ hip hop tunes.
The song I wish that more people heard was her response to "This is a Mans World" on her album Man. She would take inspiration and have a purpose for it rather than just "sounds neat". I love that she was touring with Lenny Kravitz and then performing Buddy X which is like "you think im going to stay quiet with your cheating?"
So happy I grew up in this era. I can't tell you how fly the girls were back then. I remember this song playing at a teen club we would go to and having to build up the courage to ask for a dance...the best!!
Yeaaaa, Those were the days , Getting dressed fresh sneakers ,Haircuts, Clothes and just fun ! Now today is trash boring w a bunch of human robots w no style no nothing
@@JumpinJakalopes I don't, of course. But I've never read or heard even a rumour about it. They may have met, I guess, who knows? But Im pretty sure she woulda mentioned it in a interview at some point if she had. I mean..wouldn't you?
I lived in West Germany back in 1989 when I listened to this while the U.S Army Brings back my youth. It hurts my spirit inside music will not be made like this again. The late 1980's early 1990's is my favorite musical era...and I'm mainly a Rock fan. I love this song.
So proud to have been ALIVE when this type of music premiered! They dont make em like this no more! #STILL KNOW THE WORDS BY HEART! #70Z BABY #80Z CHILD
The song was written and composed for Cherry's boyfriend at the time, Esteban Caudillo. Cherry gave him the nickname "Che" because he frequently quoted Che Guevara and talked constantly about revolutionary topics. Thus, Cherry's original lyrics were: "Who's looking good today? Che's looking good in every way." After their breakup, she removed this reference to him.The reference to "his crocodile feet" was Cherry's teasing reference to Che's ever present Lacoste tennis shoes, which he even wore with business suits and tuxedoes.The following lyrics were from a Valentine's Day poem Che wrote for Cherry "Wind on my face, sound in my ears Water from my eyes, and you on my mind As I sink, diving down deep deeper into your soul."The two eventually split due to Cherry's belief that Che was too materialistic and loved money more than her, which was the inspiration for the lyrics: "No moneyman can win my love It's sweetness that I'm thinking of.........................."BUFFALO STANCE " is the way you stand with your arms crossed" 2:22
There was such a good vibe with house music, then the Berlin Wall coming down and all of the great movies etc; It felt like the good guys where winning back then and that the world was loosening up from all of that Cold War terror.
Thats a simple but sweet guitar synth. Though you have funk genre era of the 70s to thank, late 80s and early 90s pop used the guitar synth religiously and took it to a level we still haven't surpassed even with the technology we have now. You got Milli vanilli, Fine young canibals etc. Some producers of the late 90's early 2000 such as Pretty Tony were some of the last acts.
There's a place I know where this is playing all the time, where the the best times of my life are in a loop, where I always visit & all my good friends from the old days can be found. It's called memory lane🤩🙂
Perspective matters though. It's a classic song, but it's a staple 90's sound. I think most 90's music has turned cheesy and cringeworthy since then. 80's songs aged better. I'm not saying it's bad, it just didn't age like wine imo. I know it came out in the 80's but it's a classic 90's sound
Neneh was slept on, which often happens whe an artist is ahead of their time. I hope that this song and indeed this whole albim stays timless. Its one a few that i enjoy in its entirety, every song is a winner!
Even now, thirtysomething years later, this song is so unique and fresh! And Neneh is the perfect combination of sassy and sexy! Shocked she didn't become a bigger star. Good old school vibes!
This is one of those very rare songs that always sounds fresh, I would bet that in 30 years time it will still sound fresh !
agreed brings back memories
It does
Don't get fresh with me!
mmm... no. This sounds exactly like it's time period.

This was one of my soundtracks to December 1988, just turned 18 passed my driving test and was enjoying a legal drink in the pubs. This song takes me right back there to a month I won't forget!!
Me too! I passed in the November.
Was a rock head metal lover, but this girl was too cute and the groove was enchanting.
Those were the best days, I miss my youth and many friends who never got to make it into the 2020's.
My Top 3 Favourite Songs Of 1988:
1. Jane Wiedlin - Rush Hour
2. Neneh Cherry - Buffalo Stance
3. Kylie Minogue - The Loco-Motion
Oh, my! I'm taking my second test on October 1---at 56! (my first one was about a month or so ago!). I have some lessons before then, though! Here's hoping!

As a youth in the 80's, the era of music was magical. ❤
Many moons later, I'm still feeling extremely blessed...
This song is perfect from start to finish. There's not one weak part in this song. It's all energy & all flow.
I thought this too! This song can go into a an endless loop

yup all true, its the video too tho. its fkn amazing ! it is/was so unique.for that time and fits the song so perfectly.
This was one of those 80s dance songs that when you would get into it you wish it would never end.
Happy 60th Birthday Neneh Cherry!(Born March 10, 1964)😃🥳🎂🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾🥂🎀🌷🌹💐👍👏🙌
ah bonne (!)
HBD…
Right on! We were born 5 days apart!
And the mum of the singer Mabel
Znany Chuck jest starszy o 24 lata ✌️
I remember having a huge poster of Neneh Cherry in my room....them days😚😚😚💃🏾🎶💃🏾🎶
"No money man can win my love, is sweetness that I'm thinking of". Love that line!
❤
true... but why is she wearing that huge dollar sign?
'cause she's flavor flav's cuz
+ulusot that's really ironic and pathetic too!
The dollar sign represents HER OWN money.. she doesn't need a man's.
I was 9 or 10 when this came out, became a big fan of Neneh, had the casette and played it over and over. Imagine my surprise when a man came to school to teach us about african music. He said "Oh have you kids heard of Neneh Cherry? Thats my daughter". I was so starstruck just to meet her dad and took his autograph. 😂
Wow ! And a father to two pop singers.
His granddaughter Mabel clearly following the family tradition
Somebody came to your school to teach kids about african music? That's pretty amazing.
You know her brother was famous too? Eagle cherry
He sang save tonight
Back in 89 Summer.!!!!
Bomb the Bass....Rock this place !!!! Awesome track !!
Congrats Neneh Cherry ...!!!
YUUUUP. that was the last song that I heard before I left Germany in 1989
Oh yeah! I was 19 and rocked this ❤😋🎶💿
Tim Simenon on production duties
The 1980s really had it all in music, the music laid down between the 1st of January 1980 and December 31st 1989 was phenomenal
Milli Vanilli was top of the charts Nov 1989
Absolute Bollocks , clearly did not live through the 1980’s music scene!
The 1980’s musically ended in 1985 in my humble opinion !!
@@Theoriginalbigbrillo Humble opinion you say ! 😂

Loved Neneh Cherry. Raw Like Sushi was an iconic album.
Leave alone Rishi Sunak 😂😂

She was robbed of that Grammy
I spent an hour talking to Neneh at Heathrow airport once whilst we waited for a flight.
Delightful girl!!
So Lucky!!
For a commoner, that must have been a once in a lifetime experience. I have never met anyone who is really famous, but I can be somebody's bodyguard for sure, yeah, I have worked since age 20, and I'm a solid 6'5" 285# that nobody wants to mess with.

Musically & graphically trippy, fun & spunky. And it still rocks in 2023! A Classic.
This is 2024 and I could still sing and dance to this hot hit banger by Nene Cherry...
The 80s and 90s were well spent in Heaven...
I used to listen to this on Jamie's 15 minute meals waiting for a cab to go to the hospital where my partner was going through chemo. What a time. Cancer free now for nine years.
Congrats!
It's great that your partner has been cancer free for 9 years now! That's wonderful.
Couldn't give a fuck.

Love the bass break at 3:16 , then the outro guitar. Remember this as a kid, April 1989 this charted (in US) ! Way ahead of it's time musically
It's now July of 2024. This song still goes hard. It's got a great beat, sound lyrics, & a gorgeous singer... I ask you, what's not to like???

Not heard it for years until today, can't get it out of my head now. Took me right back to the late 80s. What a chorus!
This used to be in those L'Oreal hair adverts.
yeah!
Я услышал её в начале 90х,) , музыка детства.
So happy I grew up in this era. I can't tell you how fly the girls were back then. I remember this song playing at a teen club we would go to and having to build up the courage to ask for a dance...the best!!
Word!
Yup having the courage to approach - a lost art - now its just swiping left or right
I'm down wit it!!! That was da bomb!!! Back in the day!!!
Hell ya!! I can remember roller skating to this at the local rink. And ya the girls were fly back in the day no doubt.
Yeaaaa, Those were the days , Getting dressed fresh sneakers ,Haircuts, Clothes and just fun ! Now today is trash boring w a bunch of human robots w no style no nothing
I've always thought that if she'd ever met Prince, he would have gone nuts for her. Exactly the type of woman he went for.
How do u know they didnt?
@@JumpinJakalopes I don't, of course. But I've never read or heard even a rumour about it. They may have met, I guess, who knows? But Im pretty sure she woulda mentioned it in a interview at some point if she had. I mean..wouldn't you?
Its May of 2024 and I'm Still jammin to this masterpiece
When you were 19, and this came out. You know what I'm talking about!! This album was instant classic.
I was 19 as well
I was close to 22. Weren't we a FORTUNATE GENERATION to have THIS MUSIC as our Life Soundtrack?!
I PROBABLY WAS ABOUT 7 OR 8 YRS OLD WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT...BUT I REMEMBER HEARING IT GROWING UP...ALWAYS LIKED IT
30 years ago this song was released new in MTV
The years was 1989.
Many things have truly changed since
I will let you know when I find my dang time machine, but when I do ... I am gone 😜✌
@@jeremyalexander9761 Yep I agree with much of your statement
MTV for instance. Like Bart wrote, I no longer what my MTV.
much better now - 80 and 90s were a disaster
Yes, and Unfortunately, things have changed for the WORSE!!!
20 millionth view!
Damn, this sounds as fresh today as it did 30 years ago.
Kuma Toni no.... no it doesn’t.
Yes!
Right??!!?
This Appears to be A Combo of the Top-40 Version -and- the Extended 12" Mix. I could be wrong. STILL... Great to hear it going strong in 2019!!! ;-)
um she said not to get fresh with her
Who's lookin' good today?! Who's lookin' good in every way?! Ms. Cherry, of course!!!❤
I lived in West Germany back in 1989 when I listened to this while the U.S Army Brings back my youth. It hurts my spirit inside music will not be made like this again. The late 1980's early 1990's is my favorite musical era...and I'm mainly a Rock fan. I love this song.
Tom Spencer exactly
I will be made like this again
Well said
Tom Spencer I also was living in West Germany back in ‘89, enjoying this song. Air Force brat, Ramstien AFB.
I totally aggry....
That synth hook during the chorus is stupid brilliant.
Think it's an Ensoniq Mirage.. was a popular preset.
This whole song is stupid brilliant, emphasis on brilliant
Simple but they fly straight at your heart.
@@radofficial4672 I've would've said a Prophet 5 "sync", as used by Bernie Worell & Herbie Hancock back in the 70's & early 80's
The radio version from 89 showed off that synth a little more.
This song NEVER gets old
A true classic 💕
Attitude dripping from the groove. Still classic after all this time.
33 years later, it’s still a great hit.
Whether you were rock or rap at the time, this song takes you straight back to '89
I remember this so well in the summer of 1989 on the radio.
we ain't getting younger
Me too!
You're gonna make me cry bro I was 16 at the time.
I was 19.
@@fredlandry6170 same but great times 👍
Neneh Cherry, bloody brilliant. Great song. Sweetness!. Get funky.
Pinicle of the 80s loved the vibes the no bs attitude back then we had more radios then tv
The 80s were the best times, and the music was great..I wish we could go back to those days, I sure do miss them.. Be blessed🙏
Everything she's wearing down to the hairstyle is back in style now
And still looking fine as hell!
please stop calling our generation´s and culture´s styles back in style we or our styles never went away
what is this ?
It never left
Exactly. I remember the style...and I"m 49😌
I just saw this comment on groove is in the heart. It’s true. everything always comes back eventually.
Still dancing to this in 2020 at 48 years old. She had such beautiful eyes.
she was cute
My second ever musical crush, just behind Debbie Harry
she was gorgeous
She was cute
She was gorgeous.....
She was talented!!!
Umm...she's still with us guys. And she's still rocking it!
Heard this song over and over while driving down the Florida Keys in 1989, great memories.
So proud to have been ALIVE when this type of music premiered! They dont make em like this no more! #STILL KNOW THE WORDS BY HEART! #70Z BABY #80Z CHILD
The song was written and composed for Cherry's boyfriend at the time, Esteban Caudillo. Cherry gave him the nickname "Che" because he frequently quoted Che Guevara and talked constantly about revolutionary topics. Thus, Cherry's original lyrics were:
"Who's looking good today? Che's looking good in every way."
After their breakup, she removed this reference to him.The reference to "his crocodile feet" was Cherry's teasing reference to Che's ever present Lacoste tennis shoes, which he even wore with business suits and tuxedoes.The following lyrics were from a Valentine's Day poem Che wrote for Cherry
"Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, diving down deep deeper into your soul."The two eventually split due to Cherry's belief that Che was too materialistic and loved money more than her, which was the inspiration for the lyrics:
"No moneyman can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of.........................."BUFFALO STANCE " is the way you stand with your arms crossed" 2:22
That's interesting... Thank you for sharing!
That's interesting... Thank you for sharing!
+WPGinterceptor that was interesting to read,thanks for that
+WPGinterceptor So you have never refereed to Bruce that actually popped that tune out in the UK.. lol
+Lawrence Newman GTFOH with that stupid ass dumb shit.
This video is insanely good.
I can't stop watching.
This video just screams "late 80's Britain"
I love it. ❤
Ain’t she swedish though 😂
Yes but grew up in England
🎉🎉🎉
@@calvinguile1315No, she didnt. She moved to England when she was 15.She grew up in Sweden and America.
Definitely ❤
This song never gets old a pure masterpiece ✨
True. I was watching Jamie Oliver cooking show, and was playing in the background... That's how ended up here, today, right now...
@@Susan-mpaso that's how I ended up here too 3 months after you. Spooky dooky lol
Rock this place!!😁
Unforgettable
Hey!..baby i'm cancelede ?☮️
Those 2 ladies dancing in the background are the unsung stars of this video.
They’re giving it 💯
I think they were backing singers for George Michael as well
Someone commented they look like they're caught in a mouse trap.
She should had left them off the video.😣
I'm obsessed with their look.
Still sounds so fresh, my daughter, she is 18, loves it in 2018!!
I miss the 80's and early 90's really bad. I just turned 50 years of age and will confirm that the universe was nowhere near this miserable.
There was such a good vibe with house music, then the Berlin Wall coming down and all of the great movies etc;
It felt like the good guys where winning back then and that the world was loosening up from all of that Cold War terror.
This is one of those songs you never forget it's unforgettable it's the song that you just have to sing along too
Yeh.. even if you are a white girl like me and trying to rap ...and sound like crap
Get funky! With huge earrings!!!
You can see where Mabel gets her looks from😍also talent runs in the blood.
@@CWoodcock ?
j smith how’s that insulting? Neneh Cherry is literally Mabel’s mother!!! 😅
@@CWoodcock He was referring to Mabel McVey, Neneh’s daughter. It was a COMPLIMENT, d_umba_ss.
Oh dear lord... that new-wavey guitar starting at 3:33 is incredible. What a great song.
Thats a simple but sweet guitar synth. Though you have funk genre era of the 70s to thank, late 80s and early 90s pop used the guitar synth religiously and took it to a level we still haven't surpassed even with the technology we have now. You got Milli vanilli, Fine young canibals etc. Some producers of the late 90's early 2000 such as Pretty Tony were some of the last acts.
It really is.😀
@@spontaneousexpress its litteraly midi#7 "Clean Guitar"
Synthesiser.
"broken wings" mister mister had similar outro
One of my favorite songs of the late 80s . A banger no doubt.
This track is absolutely timeless.
yes buffalo stance
It's sounds so ahead of its time like late 90s and early 200s but it was made in the 80s
Totally bro.
Absolutely! So very ahead of its time. Amazing production.
This is pump up the jam song in the 80s!
Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one✌🏼️
Its call rewinding
lmao - I just replied to your same comment on Madonna get into the groove! 😂😂 I be following ya! 😁
You're not alone brother, I spend half my time back in the days...
in wigan lancs
Yeah. Another 80s icon I love is Madonna.
There's a place I know where this is playing all the time, where the the best times of my life are in a loop, where I always visit & all my good friends from the old days can be found. It's called memory lane🤩🙂
Listen to the lyrics. This is what hip hop used to be about.
Is this song really 30 years old? Once again proving that the 80's was THE best decade for music, hands down.
I love her!!! I bought her cassette tape in the 80's and realized what a serious artist she is. Her music is still timeless. It doesn't sound dated.
What is this "cassette tape" you speak of?
i almost made that comment. It really doesn't. Manchild, Kisses on the Wind...very enjoyable still today. No shame, no guilty pleasure...just good.
This song is like wine, 🍷 it's not aging, it's still sounds better to me than a lot of what you hear in mainstream music these days, even in 2022
Lol. It sounds like aged wine 🍷🍾
Perspective matters though. It's a classic song, but it's a staple 90's sound. I think most 90's music has turned cheesy and cringeworthy since then. 80's songs aged better. I'm not saying it's bad, it just didn't age like wine imo. I know it came out in the 80's but it's a classic 90's sound
true that. am 25 and totally agree. this is music. what they call ' music ' now a days is trash
You are so right!
@@Susan-mpaso I LOVE this song and Neneh was SO FINE back in the day. LOL.
Neneh was slept on, which often happens whe an artist is ahead of their time. I hope that this song and indeed this whole albim stays timless. Its one a few that i enjoy in its entirety, every song is a winner!
This song is so utterly unique and amazing
and video!
Ladies & Gentlemen this is a Masterpiece from my Generation ......how cool is that ?
My Generation as well.
Same here 👍
Yes to Gen X!
THUMBS UP IF YOU'RE GENERATION X!!!!!
We're blessed aren't we 😁. Happy Mondays next!!
Even now, thirtysomething years later, this song is so unique and fresh! And Neneh is the perfect combination of sassy and sexy! Shocked she didn't become a bigger star. Good old school vibes!
One of the Greatest Songs of All Time, In My Top 10. It warns women about bad boyfriends. Bring back 80's and 90's street smarts.
Many women are into bad boys even though they know it’s going bad. Men do the same with bad girls.
