Lyrics:
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around for my possibilities
I was so hard to please
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
#TheBangles #HazyShadeofWinter #OfficialVideo
Never thought anyone could do this song justice since Simon and Garfunkel's original is absolutely phenomenal. HOWEVER this is just as phenomenal. I love both versions.
Susanna Hoffs side eye glance will forever melt my heart.
God damn i miss the 80's. what a great time to be alive
It was the best time!! ❤
Yes it was!!!
Not really, but it's a nice to look back at the good times
@@davidrich7678 exactly David. It’s much better today when people don’t even know what gender they are anymore. 🙄
I was just a kid, but I agree and know what you mean.
The best remake of all time.
The best thing about UA-cam is that you can re-live MTV days.
when mtv was worth a dam
ABSOLUTELY!!! THANK GOD FOR YOU TUBE!! THEY DIG A LOT OF GREAT MEMORIES!!!
Yeah.. And dreaming of a life that was much more simple.. When a all girl band could Rock!!
my first time for most of these, we couldn't get cable in Brooklynn back then
@dan goth The original is probably a good song, but this version *rocks*
Suzanna Hoff's eyes should be one of the seven wonders of the world
Make that 2 of the seven wonders.
The rest of her ain't too shabby....
No kidding! She still looks absolutely stunning at age 60!!!!
Vikki Petersen is pretty hot in this too
Amen to that
Michelle Steele Killing that bass line
That little smile that Suzanne throws off ❤❤❤❤ 80's crush
80's crush, 90's crush, 2000's crush, 2010's crush, 2020's crush, and then some.
Isn't her first name "Susanna"? (Susanna Hoffs, if I'm not mistaken)
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 yes
She's awesome. All of them are cool but I will say the lead guitarist comes off a little annoying to me. She tries to do all these "I'm rockin' out!" poses as if she's playing Barracuda or Immigrant Song and it appears a little silly on a pop song like this.
@@WithaJoeFro That's because you do not know the backstory to what was going on in the band and what eventually led to them breaking up. Susanna Hoffs was being "groomed" by producers as the lead, the face of the band (which, I might rightly point out, was a good decision, she is by far the most charismatic, as most will agree) - but the other band members could not accept that and that led to fracturing, posturing, and the whole "only me" syndrome that eventually broke the band up.
One of the greatest cover versions of any song ever. Never would have thought The Bangles could have done a late-80s Hard Rock/New Wave cover of a little-known Simon & Garfunkel song, but they did and it was brilliant.
You hit the nail on the head
its an awesome song to play in the fall... Autumn
Well the one thing these girls always had going was harmonies and that helps on ant Simon and Garfunkel tune
Strange when the cover is the version they play on the radio. So I thought this was the original didn't even know the other existed.
Oh I had no idea. It's like covers are where the real art expression appears
I've never been a fan of pop music. But damn pop music in the 80s was so much better. People knew how to play an instrument.
Thats a rock and roll song !!!
Just curious whose idea it was to take a Paul Simon comfortable song "Hazy Shade..." and turn it into a rockin upbeat awesome gem. Genious
This black Detroit 60's chick loved Simon and garfunkel songs especially this one and l also love this version by the Bangles It was perfect for the less than zero movie.
Fair play to the band for taking the huge risk of doing a cover version of a classic song and doing it right. They've orchestrated it very well and it still stands up even after thirty odd years.
And then and now it's one of the best covers of a SnG song ever recorded. The band Rehab out of Georgia did a GREAT version of Sound of Silence. Beats the hell outta the Disturd version.
@@ericjohn8466 excuse me,Disturd?? I get you don't like disturbed,but that's a huge disrespect to the cover they made which is regardless one of the best songs they've made even if it was a cover
@@giltyakhtar and if a cover song is one of the best songs theyve ever done shows me you have the musical depth of the parking lot puddle. Not for nothing, their grandkid's grandkids are gonna be millionaires. I think Draiman is one of the worst frontmen and beyond self serving with his brothers and sistera schtick on stage and then he goes and ruins a classic.
Beautiful song x
Suzanna Hoffs has held up amazingly well after 30 years as well. She’s still gorgeous.
That guitar riff.
That drum fill.
That everything.
The Bangles are sooo hot.
And yet most people only know them for "Walk Like An Egyptian". Fucking shame, I'd say. This songs proves they were criminally under-rated. So much wasted potential.
The descending baseline that leads into the chorus.
@@HanHeldit's not their song though.but I prefer it to the original
@@HanHeld Don't forget about "Walking down your Street"--their best song, IMHO
Lets all go back to the 80s and stay there
I never left 😢
@@josebro352 I live back in the 82 lol
Yes!!! 80s rule!
Sorry, but life is about moving forward, and not dwelling on the past--so get over yourself, and live your current life to the fullest! ...Besides, who says the 80s were so great?!? Some of us might say the 60s-70s were better, at least in terms of legendary music--as opposed to light-weight pop songs of later generations.
I've been stuck in the 80's my WHOLE Life and has NO Plan to leave the greatest decade we've blessed with, Anytime Soon !!!
2024? Susanna Hoffs is 65 years old and age don’t mean a thing to that woman.
i was just thinking that she still looks like that!!!
Natural beauty, class, and grace have no sell by date.
@@SpaceLord2025 I wouldn't go that far. But she definitely looks good for 65...Frankly, I don't think ANYONE looks as good as she did back then...
What difference does it make?
In my experience, after a certain age, say early 20s, actual age doesn't matter much.
I was her mate for awhile back in the early 90s
Now that the Go-Go's have been inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame,I hope The Bangles will be next.
The Bangles are so superior to the Go-Gos it's not funny. The Go-Gos sound like a bunch of cheerleaders--no harmony, just shouting. But given the politics and bias, and the fact that the whole institution was poorly thought out and executed from the beginning, I'd consider it more a badge of honor (and would be in better company) if I weren't inducted into it.
AGREED!!! It wasn’t until 2022 that Duran Duran was finally inducted. The political aspect outweighs the true greatness of rock and roll. The Bangles belong there!
@@MrTrashcan1 The Bangles are not superior to the Go-Gos. The Go-Gos wrote all their own songs, and the Bangles never had a record anywhere close to the Go-Gos first.
@@marcgrossman980 Agree. If nothing else, I think the Go-Gos had more catchy hit songs than the Bangles. (Besides, who cares about the lame-ass "Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame"? Or the even more lame-ass "Hollywood Walk of Fame"...IMHO the only REAL Halls of Fame are the sports Halls of Fame for the 4 major North American team sports: baseball, football, basketball & hockey. Anyway, the Hollywood- and pop music-types get enough "fame" and/or glory as it is, without creating these bogus "Halls"/"Walks" of Fame...or for that matter, the ridiculous "EGOT" distinction, yawn.)
Hey, both were good.
This proves once and for all...WOMEN CAN ROCK!!!!!!!
+purplegurl79 Agreed. The Go-Go's proved that too! Pat Benatar... the list is endless.
+Stephen Smith Not to mention Heart
+Stephen Smith don't forget Lita Ford. "Woke up on a Saturday night, didn't get laid, got in a fight. ah huh, but it ain't no big thing..." It went something like that, but it totally rocked!
+Carlos Smith "went to a party last Saturday night, I didn't get laid..."! I love Lita. I bought that cassette eith my first paycheck the summer after 10th grade.
Lashun 9274 That's what's up. When true music was about raw talent, originality and artistry. Hopefully true rock music will go back to it's roots and be just as kick ass as it once was. Btw, your a black female rocker? Impressive! And very pretty if I might add.
Still watching this in 2024! What a great time the 80s were
That opening guitar riff deserves it's own spot in the Rock Hall of Fame.
That riff, the tone of the guitar, and the entire song are produced way too thin. It's produced like a pop band instead of a rock band, and the lead guitarist is trying way too hard to look like she's playing Immigrant Song or Barracuda instead of a pop song.
I came here because I'm still in love with Susanna Hoffs
Who isn't?
and Michael steele
Sigh
Understandable. I can identify. I think my husband would be ok with it.
ua-cam.com/video/Pa_Z9AJOYeY/v-deo.html
Not gonna lie, I'm here 'cause I'm stuck in the 80's 🤘🏻
Your words, maker me cry.
Don't worry you're not the only one
Same here.
Where else to get stuck?.....
70's isn't to bad though too..
@@rider660r or 60s....and so on....especially if youre a "white" person...back in those days those people got to really enjoy the "privilege" before the woke crowd put the kibosh on things....wonder if ELP had time traveled from the future to write "Lucky Man" specifically for that generation? "he had White horses, and ladies by the score...." He sure did Greg....he sure did, lucky bastard!
Less than zero movie 🍿 soundtrack of 1987!
Got it on cassette that Christmas. Such an odd & wonderful mix-tape!!
Danzig. You and Me I always think of Jamie Gertz when I hear it.
Yes❗ 😀
this is definitely one of those times when a cover truly surpasses the original.
Edit: mainly because of the riff, what she does to it is magic.
Blinded by the Light was also a great cover...
ITS TERRIBLE!!!
I have to agree!
They sound great and it is a very good cover but, there is only one original. I can't say it surpasses the Simon and Garfunkel original.
The Bangles are such a great band
The ONLY wrong thing with this amazing rock classic is that it was way TOO SHORT!!!
Always love this girl band group
It is not too short - it is perfect. No note wasted.
They had to cut part of it though. There was a reference to "drinking my vodka and lime" that the record company cut. And they cut more than that to fit.
The original was lomger.
But you can always press play again 😉
2:02 Now THAT'S the right amount of cowbell!
Need more COWBELL
More cowbell!
I've got a FEVER!
Just a little more.......nottt!!!!
Thanks, now thats all I'll hear
Susanna Hoffs just had a birthday her 65th if I'm not mistaken.. From 1986 to the end of 1989 these girls graced our radios every day. Memories !
This song was always playing at the college center when I was at Community college. This may be the most improved song from original to cover I've ever heard.
The way this song kicks in is pure gold 😍💦. Beats the original ❤
It’s 2021 and this sounds better than anything played on the current top 40 music radio. 💃🕺🏽
Great song for Illinois. 🌳🌨
I love gerard ways cover with ray toro
That’s because music has gotten absolutely terrible lol
Yep.... that means we getting old. Lol.
There are some pretty good new songs, actually.
Hoffs still one of the most beautiful singers of all time
Shit, she’s not even the best singer in the band. Vicki Peterson is the real talent here.
Patti Smyth was easy on the eyes too!
Absolutely. That sideways glance in Walk like an Egyptian is one of the sexiest things I've ever seen😍
Very true
Susanna Hoffs is a fairly attractive individual.
When a remake surpasses the original you know it was done right.
Simply Awesome.
Wait, what is RDJ doing here??? 😂
Not at all the easiest riff in the songbook. Vicki Peterson is underrated.
I was thinking the same thing after viewing this vid for a zillion times and never looked at anything besides Susanna until now.. 😎
She totally is. Talented artist, amazing voice and beautiful, sexy woman.
@@samharper8293 To be fair, Susanna is quite the attention getter.
Definitely
Turns out the riff is from Simon & Garfunkel
. This song is a cover.
This is why they're great:everyone nails it.Vocals, drums,bass, lead guitar...
Pas la guitare solo, c'est pas elle qui joue!
@@alainquinzelaire1253 Vicky Peterson es la guitarrista LOL.
it was the fab 4 that got them going
@@timothylines631 Beatles Fab Four...? Explain.
Hot babes 80s 😊
Great song. The drummer killed it
2024 and still great.
I particularly like this one because all four of them are singing together. It was their best harmony.
For real. 🤘
Yes, it was.
Glad u said that. I think so too.
The harmonies are incredible.
Agreed. This and only Walk like an Egyptian we got to here most of them sing.
Simon and Garfunkel covered by The Bangles.....Only in America.....The drummer is off the charts.....period.....
These chicks kick ass.
The guitar sound on that main riff is so RUDE. Love it. Such a fantastic cover.
The Bangles really did this song justice! Awesome!
Susanna was so respectful and humble about doing the cover and meeting Paul Simon after it did so well on the charts. On the Bangles website, she talks about meeting Paul Simon after watching Simon & Garfunkel in concert: "We had loved Simon & Garfunkel, and naturally we also loved Paul as a solo artist, and we were really happy to see them perform and then go backstage for a meet-and-greet. This was after our version of 'Hazy Shade of Winter' had come out, and although I don't think we talked about it very much, I remember he was very sweet, and I'm sure he was happy the song had done so well. I think it's always good to have your song covered, but it was a little uncomfortable talking to him about it, because when Simon & Garfunkel did the song, it had gone to #17 (sic), and the Bangles version went to #2. You're proud, of course, but you never want to come off as full of yourself or arrogant you know?"
What shocks me is 1200 people actually dislike this. What's not to like? Awesome lyrics by Paul Simon. Kick-ass guitar. Gorgeous ladies with beautiful voices and great harmony. Great song, fantastic cover, fun video. Man the 80s were great.
Probably a reaction from all the "Captain Sober" AA types here who saw the one movie mucking up the comments with their "personal journeys" as if anyone gives a flying-squirrel shit.
You know what they say - you can't fix STUPID!
@@arlettasloan6453 What the hell are you talking about? Eternal Flame wasn't a song they "took over." It was COWRITTEN by Susana Hoffs.
Well , 30% of America has beyond proven they have no minds left , nutty basterds that dislike this will get the farthest most left corner of hell with big huge thumbs down icons having their way with them lmao
Who cares what others dislike
I feel like this song is the epitome of The Bangles and demonstrates what it is they really wanted to do as a band, as opposed to what the record label pushed and most of the big hits we got from them. I try to imagine what the band would have been like if they'd had things more their way over what the people managing them and the labels pushed them to be.
I came here because of Micki Steele. She's a Rock goddess!
What a fantastic version of a classic song.The harmonies and musicality are brilliant.
Well said...the energy is amazing, and it's certainly one of my favourites from the 80's, pop-punk-rock at it's finest. 🙂
Never realized they harmonized that well.
@@thesunreport thank you for your kind comment.
@@AVweb I was surprised just how good they were,it’s a shame I never saw them live as they were a great live band.
@@AVweb Give a listen to their song, "Dover Beach." Beautiful harmonies!
Living through the '80s brought me here.
SirHatchporch The best times with the best music.. 😀
Loving the 80s brought me here!
Best😊✌💞🌿💃🕺
Gen V feelings
What talent. What harmonies. All of them could sing and were talented musically as well. The Bangles' music will be listened to forever.
Love that NBC is using this song for the Winter Olympics. Excellent choice.
I still love The Bangles and Robert Downey. I've watched Less Than Zero quite a few times and I'm glad he made it out of hell. For people who don't know it because they're too young, RD Jr. was an addict and practically killed himself because of that. Look at where he is now. I just wanted to mention it because if you're an addict, don't give up. He was in such bad shape and he fought his way back. If you're despondent, just remember you can fight addiction. Please get help. Sending love and hope to all suffering.
Ironic how he played a character that (besides the prostitution) he mirrored in his real life. I'm very glad he's back and made it through too!
Anyone that can come back from thst is inspiring! Love those kind of stories I’m best friends with a former drug addict and I saw him through his darkest days and I’m so happy he made it out to the other side, it’s the best kind of story to tell being a survivor watching this movie brought me to tears because it was a reality for me at one time.
Thanks ... that is encouraging
What a kind message!
I really appreciate that you’re explaining the backstory a little for some people who might not now. But please don’t assume, that only because someone is young, they don’t know about stuff that happened before they were born :) Anyways, this song is amazing!
Better days by far, feel sad for today's youth.
Susana Hoffs probably the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen
And a beautiful voice. And she likes rock music. It doesn’t get much better.
This song came out in 1987. I was 11. I am 41 and still rocking out to it.
Me to 👍
so same
Actually came out in 1968.
I'm 48 still blast it in my truck I look ridiculous but I dont care
Same on all counts. :)
All these years and I've still got a crush on Susanna Hoffs lol

+Merya Tathagres She also plays guitar to a good standard, So get off your high horse
+Merya Tathagres anyone know what year this came out?
This was a huge hit for Simon and Garfunkel (US Billboard 13). It's a testament to the Bangles that they could make it an even bigger hit (Billboard 3). Whichever version you prefer, they are both great!
Billboard number 2 actually
@@fregarl Oops, it was the Cash Box Top 100 number 3.
The Bangles version is clearly superior. S&G would agree.
Who would have thought growing old would happen sooo fast?
Didn't happen for Susanna Hoffs - she's apparently immortal!
Ditto, but we made it to midlife!
As 2021 comes to a close, this song has a complete different meaning to me at 54 than it did when I was 20.
53 and know what you mean .....
almost 64. This song brings me back to times much better than today.

Probably the hardest rocking song the Bangles did....hard driving beat. So underrated.
This summarizes every heart break of a teen in the 80's.
Depends on your generation. Boomers would be more familiar with the Simon and Garfunkle original.
Also, Don't forget "foolish beat" by Debbie Gibson.
What a comment
That would be second to 'Time after Time' by Cyndi Lauper, I'm 50 now.
They crushed it! This is definitely my favorite version of this song!
Thank you, Paul Simon.
RDJ gave an awesome performance in Less Than Zero.
That's because he really wasn't acting...
Carl Thompson yeah....sad, but true.
Yes, very much so.

@@keithk8275 maybe
This was the BEST song the Bangles ever did. They far surpassed the original, and the song showcased the ENTIRE band... no-one was overshadowed. And the guitar was AWESOME.
Agreed!!
Hard to argue with that.
Agree
Yes, this is there best song. There are others I would listen to more often, but this is the best.
Great post! This version was so great that I didn't realize that it was even a cover until years later. And that guitar is rockin!
......oh look real music.....
Suzanne was definitely beautiful
Is and will always be one of the most iconic songs of the ‘80’s. No contest.
Their voices mesh to perfection. I so miss perfection.
Between this version of Hazy Shade of Winter and Disturbed's remake of The Sound of Silence, Paul Simon must be pretty impressed with his songwriting.
That RIFFFFF
I miss the era I never grew up in.
It was glorious. MTV was on fire. Everyday you'd see new videos and try to catch the names. There was no internet.
It will NEVER be matched!
@@bitspacemusic if a body catch a body...fire is the devil's only friend!
It was THE BEST! Everything pales in comparison.
😂
One of the best covers ever.
Possibly their best song ever. If I had to pick one that i couldn't live without it would be this one. It ranks very high on their list too. All four of them signing together makes it so unique. The blending of their voices together was always what made them so special.
Their best cover. It is Simon and Garfunkel`s song.
@@monetarnie3841 A cover yes, but they completely made it their own. Love Simon & Garfunkel, but I think this is a superior version.
No, it isn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I like this version (+ the Bangles), but S&G’s gets the meaning across much more bluntly.
Try " Following" on repeats.
First Vinyl
I still rate Manic Monday above this, but Google says I'm in the minority...
Repeating myself again: Put the Bangles in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, or tear it down.
+jerlan23 Agreed, BUT, ONLY after they put 'CHICAGO' in before them, where they richly belong (& are LONG OVERDUE)!
You got your wish! Chicago: Class of 2016 and long overdue

Super.
extremely underrated
That opening guitar riff 🔥🔥🔥
Bad as hell
Also the drums lol I love the drums
Debbi . . . .love love love watching her play those drums.
Very rarely is cover better than the original. This one is.
Best girl band. Actually had musical talent as opposed to the others.
My parents used to listen to this a lot when I was kid. Definitely a classic in my eyes. You'll never hear vocal harmonization like this on the radio ever again.
amzn.to/36buzMD
This is the best cover of Hazy Shade of Winter since S&G and proved that the Bangles were a band to be taken seriously
They really were a "band to be taken seriously", So much clever material, super tight production, and "Michael" was "way more" then she ever got props for, Yea, check out everything other than "Manic Monday, and Walk Egyptian", no matter what your "main genre" is , "good music is good music", just let it soak in, this was a great fucking band
Check out the version by Foxes and Fossils.
I have tried to take them seriously, but I can't get past the 3 dudes in drag on stage with Hoffs.
Susanna Hoffs…YUM!
This song. This movie.
Hot chicks that can rock has to be the sexiest thing ever created, blown away.
This is their best song.
Hmm one of them. I think 'Eternal Flame' and 'If She Knew What She Wants' are better, and aren't covers of someone else's song.
Time...time..time... ⚓🍒❄️☃️
It's rare that a cover is better than the original, but this cover just kicks ass!
I'm a huge S&G fan and I agree.
They owned that. Hadn't heard it in years.
One of my all-time favorite covers, and the opening guitar riff is one of the coolest from the 80s. The Bangles are a band whose music is still as great today as it was in the 1980s.
Listening in 2021 to a 1987 Bangles cover of a 1966 Simon & Garfunkel song ....
Much better than all those other sexualised, poppy girl groups from the 90s to 2000s
