Even though I’m 60 years old… I always tear up at the end of Napoleon Dynamite .. The song is perfect for the innocence and love between those two it’s just perfect !! I remember those feelings
@@thewarrior5486 I beg your pardon? what is rude here. I only replied to a post without offending or personally attacking the person. This is called free speech
MY FAVE 80's song EVER! I've been waiting on a reaction to this! I never ever tire of this song...it instantly puts a smile on my face, puts me in a good mood and forces me to sing every word! Love!! LOL at your TMI comment!! 🤣
This is one of my favorite songs ever. When I hear this I can't explain what happens to me it's like a memory that's triggered by a sense I'm not in control of. I remember my youth and this being on the radio
The Moody Blues song “The Voice” and Paul McCartney-Wings song “Silly Love Songs” trigger me in the same manner. They were the only 2 songs I ever listened to in the car with my Pawnee biological dad. In 1980 or 83 (I don’t recall which, I was real little) he took us to Evans Mountain, in Colorado. And those songs played on the radio back to back.
I am right up with you about this song. The lyrics are so filled with hope. One of my favorite songs ever. Long live the promise. If you really love someone this is the song to share and give tribute to the love among two.
I think I was 12 when this came out and everything about it seemed so sophisticated: the name of the group, the name of the song, the juxtaposition of the vocal deliveries, the piano interlude. As much as I love 80s music this was a soothing departure from the flamboyance of the 80s and a bridge to the 90s.
This song invokes a very specific young, desperately-in-love-but-afraid-to-look-stupid, painfully-awkward feeling from like, high school or something. We’ve all felt it at some point. ❤️
Breathe - “Hands to Heaven”, “How Can I Fall” The Outfield - “My Paradise”, “All the Love In the World” Tears for Fears - “Woman in Chains” Icehouse - “Electric Blue” Escape Club - “I’ll Be There”
Basically a One Hit Wonder, but this song is awesome. It's another song that has not left my playlist since it was released, be it on cassette, mix tape, cd, mp3, or streaming it's been persistently in my musical realm. Thanks for reacting and sharing with us! ~Be Blessed
I heard this song in a 7/11 about a week ago and completely forgot about it. I immediately searched for it and played it like 20x at work. Made my day lol.
When In Rome started out as a British new wave trio consisting of vocalists Clive Farrington and Andrew Mann, and keyboardist Michael Floreale. Farrington and Mann had been members of a locally popular band called Beau Leisure when they decided to strike out on their own. This song was from their debut LP in 1988 and was an instant hit, reaching #11 on the Billboard Top 100. However, it turned out to be their only major hit. Farrington and Mann went on to other things, but they continued to stay in touch and write together. Floreale revived the group under the name When In Rome II in the mid-2000s with vocalist John Ceravolo and drummer Chris Willett. In 2009, Farrington and Mann reformed as When In Rome UK with drummer Rob Juarez. The band name was inspired by the idiom "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," which encourages adapting to the culture of the places we visit. Farrington got the idea when he and Floreale, both Manchester natives, were visiting London. He recalled in a 2012 interview with the newspaper The Citizens' Voice (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania): "I distinctly remember dropping Mike off at a very unique food shop and saying something like, 'Let's try some of that,' followed by, 'When in Rome' - this was and still is my dad's favorite saying. This meant, of course, 'When in London, do as the Londoners do.' When Mike returned to the car, I said, 'How about When in Rome for the name of the band.' We both very enthusiastically agreed. When we both told Andrew, he gave the name his total blessing."
Mr. Video reacted to Napoleon Dynamite a few days ago, and now you're reacting to songs from the soundtrack. The universe is telling me to watch that movie tonight!
Yes, he has reacted to this song. But I have to say that I put my boom box next to the TV with “Three Men and a Little Lady” credits so I could record this song and listen to it over and over again. ❤️😊
Now you're pulling out the obscure favs!....Now, this is New wave the way it was meant to be! Thanks! Another classic one along these same lines is "The Great Commandment" by Camouflage! You won't regret it.
The Psychedelic Furs, Ultravox, Roxy Music, Gene Loves Jezebel, Roman Holliday, Blancmange, The Bolshoi , Cutting Crew, Echo and The Bunnymen, Yaz, Visage, Fiction Factory, The Cult. Embrace the 80’s!!!!
@@dcharkey254 ....oh my goodness! Gene Loves Jezebel was such a kick ass band and as you say Jay is one hell of a performer. The Furs are way up there for me.... The Cult...?? Oh man.....what a blessing to be a young man when this music was poppin!
This is a another great one hit wonder from the 80s which takes me right back to the late 80s in that time machine in my head. Great times and fantastic memories....sometimes when I hear songs like this is doesn’t seem that long ago, and than I realize it has been 33 years....wow
That rare song that sounds better 30 years after it came out. The late 80s was saturated with good music across multiple genres so this song slipped through the cracks back then.
This song is the 80's. It's what you think of the moment it starts. It's at every prom, it was an instant classic and will always be a song that is in my rotation.
Man to man. I appreciate that when I need a moment with someone who reminds me of good lost friends, I can pull up your channel and almost instantly feel better. What you do is special. Keep it up friend!
Jamel, if you're gonna react to this, you HAVE TO react to "Just Like Heaven" by The Cure, and "Space Age Love Song" by A Flock of Seagulls!!!! Sending love from Portland, Oregon!!!
Mark, the German band "Axel Rudi Pell" does a great version of this song. ARP has a lot of great metal ballads and rockers. They might be equal to The Scorpions, or better. Other very good cover songs by ARP are: In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins, Beautiful Day by U2, Temple Of The King by Rainbow, Holy Diver by Ronnie Dio, I Will Survive by Ronnie Dio, Stone by Chris Rea).
OMG Jamal!!! We're almost at 1 MILLION!!!! Let's GO!!! Happy New Year! ...you could never react to all our favorite tunes,..but i'll say this,..I never thought you'd react to this one. I was just a young man,..and heard these lyrics? Imma songwriter,guitar,piano,.. Imagine That LOL.
Jamel, I've been feeling down as hell lately. This song "The Promise" is one of my all time favorite 80s songs. I came across your reaction video here. Immediately noticed your sweater and the writing. You're a genuine spirit man, seeing your energy and positive vibes in experiencing this classic... I thank you. Needed some positivity tonight.
I'm like you Jamel, I think I've heard it before but can't put my finger on it. Probably when out shopping. Loved it though! So many great songs in the 80's. Thanks for keeping it fresh for us!
Though I’ve heard this song a million times, I’d never seen the video before and now I’m confused as to who was singing when haha. It’s fun to see these old videos that I might’ve missed, and even better watching with you! I’m so glad you did this one! I used to get so excited when this song came on the radio.
Another great 80's song. There's a British band that came out the same year as this band -- 1988 called Breathe. The songs Hands To Heaven and How Can I Fall are songs worth checking out. Duran Duran is another 80's staple band worth checking out.
Jamel_AKA_Jamel: Thank you for being you. Watching, seeing, and hearing your reactions to songs I’ve loved my entire life, feeds my soul the same way keeping good music alive, and relating to people feeds yours.
There is a stunning version of this song with an equally stunning video by Superfruit, the side project of Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi from Pentatonix, that is well worth a watch.
Man, these tunes, they're for the ages, my friend, no doubt about it. It's incredibly profound and just makes so much sense, right? And here's the thing, sometimes people mistakenly think everyone is the same, huh? But no one is identical, man. Each person is truly unique, buddy. Have you ever thought about it? Nobody is a carbon copy of another, and these guys were genuinely one-of-a-kind in a unique narrative, in a singular moment. So, my friend, you won't find another person exactly like them. Sure, someone might come close, but an exact match won't happen, right? Nobody can replicate these guys. They found success, continue to do so because they're genuinely unique, man. You can't replace something that's truly one-of-a-kind, right? It just doesn't exist. So, it's quite intriguing how sometimes people, by doing something everyone else does, think they're just like everyone else. They're not, man. Every individual is unique, you know? No one is a duplicate. It's pretty sad, isn't it? Forget about getting lost in the crowd because no one is just another face in the crowd. Each person is a distinctive creation of God, and when they pass away, that's it-no more of the same person. Unless God resurrects them, right? Otherwise, it's a done deal. The whole idea of a digital footprint, saying that, right? But there's no identical digital footprint, huh? It's quite fascinating.

Oh, the 80s. Can we go back please?! ✌💞🎶
Yes, please.
Let’s go now!! 💙

No not at all it depends on the perspective..... For me. Nothingi to do with Napoleon dynamite
Breathe - “Hands to Heaven”, “How Can I Fall”
The Outfield - “My Paradise”, “All the Love In the World”
Tears for Fears - “Woman in Chains”
Icehouse - “Electric Blue”
Escape Club - “I’ll Be There”
Wow... I forgot about Hands To Heaven!!! What a great song!!!
I am SO READY for The Outfield, and NOT "Your Love."
1927 - That’s When I Think of You (1988)
Fiction Factory - (Feels Like) Heaven
Love this song. It takes me back to cruising the local back roads in the 80s, with the sun shining and the windows down.
Beautiful comment and so true...
Yessir! This made the end of Napoleon Dynamite so perfect!
"I caught you a delicious bass....you wanna play me?"

They just put it on hulu very recently as well! It's definitely a sign lol
Now for the complete Napoleon Dynamite hat trick, please react to "We're Going To Be Friends" by The White Stripes.
Everyone here going to ignore Jamel saying he let his boys pop out of some ripped jeans and just keep on going?
Nostalgia is real with this one. Jr HS dance, working up the courage to ask her to dance, then this song plays.
OMG one of my favorite 80s songs ever....
Berlin - Human League - Erasure - Dead or Alive all provide similar - Another one hit wonder band, these guys
Berlin and Human League had more than one hit.
All of these four bands had more than one hit. Dead or Alive had 3 on their second lp.
❤ wow Amazing! It’s 2023 and yet still brings that soothing joy..
Now I have to watch Napoleon Dynamite tonight!!!! This song is amazing! Them HS days!!❤🤘😎 VOTE FOR PEDRO!!
"...I'll follow you anywhere..." love this song! great choice
The 80's have perhaps the greatest overall collection of "story telling" love ballads known to man.
In my top 100 songs of all time
"Waiting for a Star to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl should be your next stop from here
I think he already did that one.
Yes, he has reacted to this song. But I have to say that I put my boom box next to the TV with “Three Men and a Little Lady” credits so I could record this song and listen to it over and over again. ❤️😊
I've seen Napoleon Dynamite dozens of times but I only recently found out that the movie continued after the credits.
Great reaction video! One of my favorites as a teen in the 80s.
How about some Breathe " How can i fall". And " Hands to heaven" are two great ones.
Must be Napoleon Dynamite Day or something. First Canned Heat, now this. Check out Sturgill Simpson's version as well.
Right!
Sturgill's version is awesome, and very very different.
I love Sturgill's version. A while different vibe, but it's great.
