Yes. It was an easy going time. Today everything seems to be heavyweight and complicated. When the truth is much easier. It's the hopelessness of today that makes people believe "humans can't change" when in the 80s it wasn't even a problem to show naked female breasts etc. but of course it was way more. In the 80s "change" was "just done". People took more risks. But nowadays with the internet Asa living space, we mostly feel lonely and little. That's why "identifying" has become so relevant today. We're feeling so little, hopeless and lonely that we're not long capable of changing. There are people, but those people earn "good enough" money and spoil their kids for that. So they are able to change but do it the wrong way for their kids because they're at work and the kids in the hands of pedagogical treatment or however you call that in English. Back then...there was the mind of "just do it" Today we're more like "is anybody hurt if I do that?" AND of course... "we need to talk about it" No, we really done talking enough I'd say. Time to come back to a state of mind that was just full of "getting shit done, and that being said...properly!" Yes, I think that's the big bit actually very easy differences between the 80s and 2010s and 2020s and so will be 2030s...which might become even worse. We're on a good way there. Just have a look at Hollywood. Or at the democracy of the USA. It's declining fast. Maybe a new massive form of decadence. Who knows...maybe it's the other very imminent thing "ideology". Cheers PS: I looooove 80s movies and soundtracks. They are always lifting you up just like some fantastic weed never could. Gets you out of the darkest mood and I am sure....it also would help you get rid of any depression. You can't hold it back, the need to dance and/or sing sets in and kicks you in the face. And before you even realize what you're doing - you're exhausted from dancing and singing too much.
Music like this DOES come out today. The sad fact is, it's no longer being made by American artists. Finnish, German, French and European artists have nailed the 80's vibe. They just don't get airplay here in the US.
I was born in 1988. I always thought I was weird for really liking just 80s music through my teens. I’ve just heard this song for the first time, and it reminds me why I love 80s music: because it’s so goddamn awesome!!!
This video sums up the 80's perfectly. Where else would you find Tommy Lee & Vince Neil of Motley Crue in a video with Weird Al Yankovic? Only if you were there would you understand how great this decade was.
I know this comment is from 5 years ago...but I'd give my left nut to go and experience the 80's...awesome music, awesome movies, and hot babes and cars.
I wasn't around in the 80s but it does seem to me like songs are so dark now. But everytime a happy or peppy song comes out it becomes super popular so why dont they make more. Maybe the world is just a darker place than it used to be?
Do you have an actual source for this "fact"? Although places like Wikipedia mention it, they have no sources at all. Most other music sites do the same. I am slightly skeptical of that story for a few reasons.
@@smartasianfriend9940 I have no evidence to the veracity of the story, but it's one I have no real problem believing. Michael was a known hard-rock fan and certainly had the connections and star power by then to personally request them. Are the reasons for your doubt anything you can say in public?
1987 was a damn good year: I graduated from Westside High School in Anderson, SC, and , Enlisted in The Marine Corps ( eventually cross decking on over to the Army). This song ,and the movie with Michael J. 🦊, brings back memories of what once was.
Robert Fincher Modern singers can’t pronounce their words like these old legends could, and they don’t know how to write fun lyrics either. For some reason, depression, anger and songs about Nightclubs are still reigning supreme since the mid 90s.
Unfortunately, people like Simon Cowell, wanted their brand of boring, safe and bland music to rule. And why? So they can control, and make money. Now you have X Factor in every country, and Cowell controls the rights and he's rich.
In a time when the music wasn't "inspired" by the movie. I like the fact that whenever I hear this song it automatically triggers a clear memory of the movie.
SXI96 Never a doubt in mind that I wasn't correct....lol. I do agree that the whole late 80's music scene was fondue-d with cheesy songs and videos. Hard to believe the 80's started with classic punk rock and iconic new wave bands and ended with overly tight spandex and hairspray.
Considering this was filmed back in the late 80s, when computer technology wasn't what it is today, I'm extremely impressed with how seemless the transitions are between the different filmed portions of the video. Bearing in mind this was probably shot on film stock in those pre-digital days, this also must have been rather costly to produce. Remember seeing the video on some show on BBC2 that used to play a lot of American music, sadly this song was never a hit over here in the UK, which was a pity as I rather enjoyed it.
Think of it, I, hold the world in the palm of my hand Run a comb through my hair, head on out for some new foreign land And all this could seem like a dream out the door With everyday people, face down on the floor I always said I could make it and be who I am There's a new look in sight, what a change for the new modern man With all this it seems, like I'm dying for more The streets are on fire, never seen it before It's like the sound of electric guitars Worlds collide and hearts will be broken Over and over it's the same every day- How can I say what has never concerned me The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day It's amazing to me, what a fool will believe to bet by With a change of your mind, I can live, I can fly The harder the come, the harder they fall I never say maybe and I go for it all Just like the sound of electric guitars Worlds collide and hearts will be broken Over and over it's the same every day- How can I say what has never concerned me The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day With nothing to show, just sweat form my soul My heart's on the line and I'm dying to go (dying to go) Look at us now, gonna make it somehow Hold on to me baby, can't hold me down Worlds collide and hearts will be broken Over and over it's the same every day- How can I say what has never concerned me The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day 25 hours a day
This song shouldve been an oscar nominee it shouldve been in competiton with 'I've Had The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing at the 60th academy awards in 1988 honoring the best movies of 1987
This song is dedicated to Katherine Helmond, one of the most gorgeous, talented, classy and charismatic Hollywood goddesses ever. Rest in peace, Dear Katherine. Amen.🤩😍😘🥰
Wonderful song by Night Ranger that always remind me of the extremely Drop Dead Gorgeous and stunning american actress from Hollywood and the worldest cinema Katherine Helmond. Rest in heavenly peace, Dearest Katherine. Amen.❤️🔥
Growing up this sing and movie we’re one of my faves! The song fit so well I never listened to it beyond the movie and I never thought to see who the artist was…I’m floored it was Night Ranger! Wow!
I can remember being like 6 or 7 when i saw this movie in the theater. This song is in the opening, it was one of the things that hooked me quick. Still love this sound with the horns and synths.
Love the song. Love the film. Okay, i know it's cheesy eighties kitsch, but I don't care. There was something that was so positive about that period, as there is something in general positive about the good old US of A. I'm English.
Can't believe not many have listened to this song because it's awesome plus the film with mj fox was great but then again any film with mj fox in it was great any way 🤘🤘🤘
Nothing like Chicago. It’s a hard driving rock album with huge sounding twin guitars and crazy solos. It’s a fantastic album. It also went gold by the way so hardly a flop
Canção maravilhosa do grupo Night Ranger que sempre me faz lembrar da belíssima, saudosa, estonteante e espetacular atriz americana Katherine Helmond, uma das maiores e mais belas estrelas de Hollywood e do cinema mundial em todos os tempos. Descanse em paz e fique com Deus, querida e belíssima Katherine Helmond. Amém.❤️🔥

Damn straight
more proof that nothing will ever be better than the 80's
you aint going to get any better than this period..
More technology, more shit.
Nothing is more '80's than Alan playing the "keytar." 🤣
What?
Every decade has strengths, like this, and weaknesses.
Night Ranger has integrity, class, and of course talent! This song and movie (big Michael J. Fox Fan ) are truly amazing!
+Daniel Marquis one of the greatest bands ever...
80's is and will always be UNTOUCHABLE!
Night Ranger has got to be the most underrated band of the 80s. Love these guys.
I have all full Night ranger albums on my SD card in my car. I am listening it for 10 yeara again and again in my car. This music is perfect.
Agree🤘🤘
you damn straight most of their songs are soooooooo underrated its not even funny..
They were awesome!! A hidden gem of the 80s!!
One of my favorite bands from the 80’s. Can’t wait to see them in concert in two weeks. It’s going to be awesome
the 80s were the best times ever!
It was nothing but a good time!
Fucking A...
None better great time to be alive unlike today!
and the 60s
The 80s had the best music out of all the decades
80's music was fire, man! If only music this good would come out today.

@@DarkKnight-q2d it was totally awesome.
@@DarkKnight-q2d Me too my man.
The highpoint of the western civilization.
@@Cavernicola_ Full force.
This is the most underrated song of the 80s.
And maybe most underrated band.
Might be the most 80s film music song ever, but there is stiff competition.
Testify brother!!!
I like day bow bow better.
Agree 100 percent!
One of the absolute BEST movie tracks . Thank you!!
This song is so "eighties" it's un real great track to a great movie
Awesome song, and movie! If you wasn’t there people the 80s rocked 👍🏼👍🏼
I love it. this was a time where musicians love writing music and had fun with it.
debbie1120 and they actually knew how to have a good time? Oh yeah ☺️ Not like today 😉
I wasn't around in the 80s but it does seem to me like songs are so dark now. But everytime a happy or peppy song comes out it becomes super popular so why dont they make more. Maybe the world is just a darker place than it used to be?
FUN FACT: This song was recorded at the request of Michael J. Fox who wanted this group personally, to do this. Pretty cool eh?
Do you have an actual source for this "fact"? Although places like Wikipedia mention it, they have no sources at all. Most other music sites do the same. I am slightly skeptical of that story for a few reasons.
I didn’t know that

Tommy Lee , Vince Neil & Weird Al pretending to be the Horn Section is the Best Part 🤣🤣
I just bought this cd & can't stop listening to this song!!!!!!!!!!
Good catch

thank you for serving our country ❤
My Bar mitzvah was in 87
This is one of those feel good movies that I have to watch every summer!
80's made so many of them, that why we love 80's so much.
Weekend at Bernies is my 80s go to summer flick
One of the best tracks of the 80s! 80s Rule!
朝の通勤で聞いてテンション上げてます！
My God, what I wouldn't give to have the 80s back - especially the TV and music.
One of the best songs ever!!! Night Ranger is excellent band.
armaggedonsblade thats a bit of a stretch
Mr. Chip Not at all :) The tempo, the melody, the chorus are brilliant. This song has everything that nowdays music does not.
+armaggedonsblade Dont worry i got youre back,but yeah this one of the greatest bands ever...
+Mr. Chip B.T.W..this song is frickking bad ass....
hector vega never said it wasn't badass, just didn't think it deserves a best ever song nomination. I do enjoy it though
Ahhhhhhhh.....my childhood. Lordy whatever happened to music like this.

misteur axe I agree wholeheartedly
It really was amazing!
I was born in 1986 I love 1980s music best decade for music I enjoy 1990s too 80s the best for sure😀
Kickass tune that gets me motivated for the gym.
JLynnsanity y
gotta love those positive 80s jamz
Yeah I agree, the 80s had such energy.👍😀
Anyone who plays 80s rock at the gym is 100% my kinda person! Respect ✊
Just like the movie when he runs on the treadmill with Uncle Howard. Lol.
I used to get up early and play basketball in my driveway listening to this tune on cassette in a boombox. The neighbors didn’t like it much!
Can’t understand why this wasn’t a bigger hit
I used to listen to this sound track going to work everyday when it came out. Set me up to deal with my crazy boss and his mood swing.😀
Word
I hear this song and I remember the taste of the 80's! 💓
I saw Night Ranger in Germany 🇩🇪 in 1985 at Rock Am Ring!! Awesome!!
I was born in 2003 but man the 70, 80 and 90's music were the best music
In a time when the music wasn't "inspired" by the movie. I like the fact that whenever I hear this song it automatically triggers a clear memory of the movie.
Just the opening 3 minutes run through my head every time I hear this!
@@Jayke1981 A snippet of early Cindy Crawford! Yum.
Love the band. Love the song. Love the soundtrack. Love the movie. God I miss the 80's.
this song reeks of the 80's, but always is fun to listen to, great movie
***** In regards to music, TV shows, comic books, and movies.
SXI96 The correct spelling is "reeks", not "wreaks". They are two different words and definitions.

i said "you're right" in agreement, not telling you that you're right, i'm sure it is a common misuse of the word, and an honest mistake
@@JulezWinnfield Every era has it highs and lows, 80's lows are far better them some era highs.

One of the most solid bands in rock and roll. Pure rock songs. Rocking and fun. Great band.
I can't help but share this everywhere!!! I feel like a bird taking flight, able to do anything! Thank you so much for this song!
How I wish there was a time machine. Take me back to the 80s please!!!
don't forget a 1950-2000 sports almahnac so you can live the high life of the 80s...
Or just invest in both Apple and Microsoft.
Think of it, I, hold the world in the palm of my hand
Run a comb through my hair, head on out for some new foreign land
And all this could seem like a dream out the door
With everyday people, face down on the floor
I always said I could make it and be who I am
There's a new look in sight, what a change for the new modern man
With all this it seems, like I'm dying for more
The streets are on fire, never seen it before
It's like the sound of electric guitars
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
It's amazing to me, what a fool will believe to bet by
With a change of your mind, I can live, I can fly
The harder the come, the harder they fall
I never say maybe and I go for it all
Just like the sound of electric guitars
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
With nothing to show, just sweat form my soul
My heart's on the line and I'm dying to go (dying to go)
Look at us now, gonna make it somehow
Hold on to me baby, can't hold me down
Worlds collide and hearts will be broken
Over and over it's the same every day-
How can I say what has never concerned me
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
The secret of my success is I'm living 25 hours a day
25 hours a day
This song shouldve been an oscar nominee it shouldve been in competiton with 'I've Had The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing at the 60th academy awards in 1988 honoring the best movies of 1987
ホントに楽しい人達でしたね。
先日、日本公演があったはずなんですが、どんな感じだったんでしょう。
また、コンサート・レポート探してみようと思います。
One of the most GLORIOUS CHORUSES in HISTORY....NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
Loved it then, love it now.
This song is dedicated to Katherine Helmond, one of the most gorgeous, talented, classy and charismatic Hollywood goddesses ever. Rest in peace, Dear Katherine. Amen.🤩😍😘🥰
I loved every single second of this album .. came at the same time Robin Beck Survivor and so many other AOR bands were massive ...
Yep, just finished thrashing the CD again. An incredible CD. Every song is brilliant. Hearts Away is so beautiful and moving. Cheers!
Wrong - Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy were the definition of '80s rock writing AND harmony
Jack Blades - awesome vocalist and an even better songwriter.
This needs to be seen by anyone that wonders what the 80's were all about.
The Secret of My Success is that I'm livin' 25 hours a dayyyyyy! So innocent , yet so cool. 80's rule!
Wonderful song by Night Ranger that always remind me of the extremely Drop Dead Gorgeous and stunning american actress from Hollywood and the worldest cinema Katherine Helmond. Rest in heavenly peace, Dearest Katherine. Amen.❤️🔥
This song was the anthem of the 80's. Hard work,Hard fun, and being better then your competition.
I had forgotten this was a Night Ranger song. We went to see NR earlier this year and it was one of those moments!
Still put on an amazing show too!
just got watched the movie accidentally, and i was amazed by the soundtrack.
Cult classic
Man this is great uplifting music ! 😨😲😈🤘😆😜💪
Thank you !!..and also my favorite movie ever!
Growing up this sing and movie we’re one of my faves! The song fit so well I never listened to it beyond the movie and I never thought to see who the artist was…I’m floored it was Night Ranger! Wow!
I can remember being like 6 or 7 when i saw this movie in the theater. This song is in the opening, it was one of the things that hooked me quick. Still love this sound with the horns and synths.
My #2 movie of his, second only to "Back To the Future". He had a lot of good music in his movies
I agree. Light of Day has some amazing music too, if you haven’t seen that MJF movie.
teen wolf up there too 😍
And it is the second time that a group from San Francisco contributed to the soundtrack of a Michael J Fox movie.
Love the song. Love the film. Okay, i know it's cheesy eighties kitsch, but I don't care. There was something that was so positive about that period, as there is something in general positive about the good old US of A. I'm English.
Can't belieeeeve this is another great track not on Amazon music. Only a unplugged version. Thanks
UA-camrs!
Can't believe not many have listened to this song because it's awesome plus the film with mj fox was great but then again any film with mj fox in it was great any way 🤘🤘🤘
And they still rock the song live to this day
great song from the movie secret of my success
One of the best songs to rock out to while driving (keeping eyes on the road, of course)
When producer David Foster tried turning Night Ranger into Chicago. This ruined their career.
Nothing like Chicago. It’s a hard driving rock album with huge sounding twin guitars and crazy solos. It’s a fantastic album. It also went gold by the way so hardly a flop
No, lol. Even Chicago was good before Terry Kath died, and then Peter Cetera turned them into bad pop.
What a song. What a RECORDING, too.
That shit has a permanent spot in my workout playlist.
No one writes a middle 8 like these guys. NR forever!!!
I now have to see this film again today.
O segredo do sucesso é nascer no Brasil em 92 e curtir essa música fantástica em um país onde quase ninguém conhece essa banda incrível.🇧🇷
I'm still living 25 hours a day! 😎👍
Great band !! Great song!! Great duo singers ! And a great movie too (imo)
What a film and inspired me to work as a "Suit"
What is it about 80s music? It's like they cared more
HELL YEAH !!! memories I'M LIVING ....
This song is inspirational. I miss the 80s
With nothing to show, Just sweat from my soul!!!
Listening and still loving the feelings it evokes ❤ July 2024
Drive down the motorway to this and tell me you aren't in an amazing mood. Class 80's tune.
Canção maravilhosa do grupo Night Ranger que sempre me faz lembrar da belíssima, saudosa, estonteante e espetacular atriz americana Katherine Helmond, uma das maiores e mais belas estrelas de Hollywood e do cinema mundial em todos os tempos.

Dear Lord, real music. What a great gifted band.
Das Geheimnis meines Erfolges. :-))) Der Film Ist geil. Die Musik sowieso. 80s die beste Zeit
Wonderful!!!
Such an intense song! Goes full throttle from start to finish.
Why can't people label their videos correctly. It winds me up something chronic.
It's "THE SECRET OF MY SUCCE$S'.
This whole soundtrack/score was 🔥🔥🔥!
One of my alltime favourite movies👏
STILL BIG TIME SUPERSTARs
Such a good movie
God I loved the friggin 80's
We all do.
This song is awesome, the movie as well.
But 8 people don't live 25 hours a day.
+Dorota Gniedziejko Brantley Foster/Carlton Whitfield did.. ;)
+Dorota Gniedziejko Technically there are no hours of the day. Time is a Human concept
One of my favorite Michael j fox movies from growing up
what a up lifting song it gets you moving
