The more difficult life gets, the more I am drawn back to the music of my youth and early adulthood. I'm 62 this year and this is the music that shaped me.
Just about 43 here. I'm about the same age as MTV and don't know a world where these songs didn't exist. lol And I'm with you. These days it's hard to find new songs that mean a damn to you. You'd think it'd be easier with new wave and new jack sounds being in vogue again.
Sometime during the late 80's I was a child sitting next to my uncle watching this video on TV, his comment at the time has stayed with me 'The man knows how to make a music video'
No-one else back in the 80's - filled with neon colours and striking hairstyles, could get away with wearing a black suit in a video. Robert was one of those, if not THE ONLY one who could.
Style. Pure style. The way he dress, the way he moves, the way he sings. The way the girls dress, the way they moves, the way they looks. STYLE. Something that have been lost since we leave 1999....
I'm a woman so I'm probably not the best one to judge but I think those women in this video are ugly. Look like robots. But OMG, Robert Palmer is HOT as hell!! The 80's/90's version of Elvis, at least sex appeal wise. ♥♥♥
We are in 2023, I'm 60 years old, and this song is so elegant!. A sharp dressed rocker, singing this addictive theme. Today is very difficult to find musicians with that style. It's simply irresistible!. R.I.P. Mr. Palmer.
I am 65 now. I will be 66 September 14th. If I happen to live that long. Because every day is a gift now. I started crying the other day when I thought about my age because I had absolutely no idea that I would live this long. Especially when I consider the life that I led, for 30 years. Like so many men of my generation, regardless, if they became wealthy or not, so many of them became either drug addicts or alcoholics. And all you have to do to know this is look around you. And also look at the leading musicians of my generation. The vast majority of them that are still alive, are no longer doing drugs or drinking… Because, they would be dead like so many, of our generation. And all anyone has to do to know this, is simply start doing some googling. Of well-known musicians from the baby boom generation, that are dead. So many of us not only sober up or cleaned up, and we became Christians because there’s nowhere else to go. No place else to go and thank God for that. When I think of all the years that I drank so hard, and the disease that I got from it, in my feet, it truly is a miracle that I am still alive. When I was supposed to be dead 💀, ABSOLUTELY- DEAD ☠️ , 3 different times. 3 Different times. Oh thank you Lord that I am still alive because you keep me alive because without you, I would have been dead absolutely did my last time drinking. My last time.
Dear Garland. I'm 60 years old. I'm in the glideslope path of my life. But I do declare that I will love this kind of music till the end of my existence!. Long life to these glamorous style!.
This song and others of its era have been played daily for decades and are still played. No other music even comes close to being played as much. To have not heard this song or any song from the 80's you would have to live under a soundproof rock.
@@SoapinTrucker Palmer is singing about his accountant. She is really good at her job, however, he never knew just where all of that money went. She's so fine (really good) there's no telling where the money went (she is also very creative as to how she scammed him) ...True story.
I love Robert Palmer's music and videos! I am now 69 and it's just like He just released these timeless classics! Simply Irresistable, Addicted to Love, and all his music...Timeless!
HE was " FAR TOO COOL " to be an amercanised badass...He was a GENTLEMAN VOCAL 007, SUAVE,ELEGANT,CONTROLLED, with a strife of subtle laid back arrogance...AN ARTIST from " THE TOP DRAW " ..
(: Yes....He died over 10 years ago....... 😶 I believe it was a heart attack.... :( He is one of the greatest musicians of ever......................!!!!!
This late musical genius came from my hometown Batley in the good old Yorkshire of England, we were very proud of the man who was taken far too early...GOD REST HIS SOUL.
My mother had a crush on Robert Palmer in the 80s. Can't blame her. She passed away in 2022 and I miss her. Listening to her music brings me back to that time.
So Sorry for your loss. When you lose a Parent, it's Horrible. - It's Good to go back, Listen to the Music She Loved & remember the Good times. - God Bless You! 🙏🏻 💖🕊
You mention him wearing a suit during his videos. I think he did that to appear as a "yuppie" because this was during the 80s which was the decade of greed and excess.
Was Very Fortunate To See Robert Palmer Several Times Live In Concert. This Man Was Very Business Like, Professional, And One Hell Of A Performer!! Robert, You Are Sadly Missed, Thank You For The Wonderful Music, God Bless You And RIP!!
I'm 25 and I love Robert Palmer also. He sure was a very talented singer. Heck I listen to the great old school music from the 60s through the mid 2000s. I grew up listening to the great 80s music though my parents got me addicted to listening to it ever since I was a kid.
In my humble opinion, he was a reminder of the past. Definitely a sharp looking man. Funny though, his fame took a long time to hit. Duran Duran has a big part to play in his career rocketing like it did.
Gawd almighty, Robert Palmer was an amazing singer and songwriter. And the sexiest Englishman since John Lennon, I swear. I bet he's up in heaven right now, breaking all the lady angel's hearts.

He left us too early He wasn't even 60 when he died. I still have his Addictions collection CDs and will never give them up. He even wrote a few reggae songs when he was living in Malta.
SHERRY BRANSOM *YOU ROCK BABE. . . GORGEOUS HEAD SHOT* HOLY MOLY I CAN ONLY *IMAGINE HOW THE REST OF YOU FILLS OUT A SPAGETTII STRAP MINISKIRT.* HOOCHEE MAMA
I agree completely with you Kimberly. The performance made by Palmer, the dresses, movements and makeup of the models are...simply irresistible!. Today is very complex to find videoclips made with this elegance.
Robert Palmer never had an enormous following, but he was highly respected both for the songs he sang, and the sincere, yet often understated way in which he sang them. One of my favourite musicians
Robert died tragically young...imagine how many more of these magical Bangers he would have released....end of an era!! God Bless you Robert for leaving these Gems to make us feel good about life in this boring PC world!
He was so darn handsome and cool! This song is a real lift to me, as a woman when I'm feeling down. I feel simply irresistible while this song plays. When my husband gets home, he is in for a fantastic timeof loving!
+Brad Cordrey Brother you need Jesus and don't do that meth anymore a it makes you hallucinate with evil thoughts such as yours are, seek the Word of God, spread Love just as God created Love, Amen. Strive to focus on God, for God is the antidote for those sinful thoughts which you need to overcome evil. Jesus cast out demons, though you somehow slipped by.
It has. I have his Addictions CDs and still play them. I also love his version of "Some guys have all the luck." MUCH better than Rod Stewart's, especially with the background chorus. He was a genius.
Will? Oh I think his music has stood the test of time. Here I am 40 years later still watching and drooling. Somehow I don't think what they call music will be remembered as well.
Amen bro, he left us way too young. The only issue I have with this video is so many simply irresistible women wearing those ugly ass, nasty smelling NYLONS, AKA "Grannyhose". The 70's called and want their fashion back. Thank GOD nylons went out of style in the early 80's and have NEVER made a return, outside of fetish fantasy. Real women don't wear those ugly, unfashionable things. #bare legs #bare feet
The song, Palmer's style, the lyrics & the video...all very original and stood the test of time. He was on a roll in the late eighties, the Steve McQueen of Popmusic.
@@grannysweet Years ago a DJ referred to him as that. After watching some of Palmer's music videos I had to agree. He steps out on stage in a suit and tie surrounding by beautiful girls. If Bond, James Bond could sing ... couldn't you just picture it?
It's worth noting: to date, this song still has the highest reading level in its lyrics of all Top 100 songs ever. The line "Her methods are inscrutable; the proof is irrefutable." is specifically a post-grade-12-level sentence.
In addition to his fantastic voice, this man gathered an army of women with similar looks & builds, and got them all to move with fluid synchronization! He was an Absolute Maestro of Music!
Well to be honest, I grew up in that generation and this was a pretty sexist video even for that time. But a lot of music back in the 80s was generally pretty sexist if you look at a lot of the hair band music. At the same time there was just something fun about van Halen videos and such. Nobody really took themselves that seriously so it was possible to enjoy the music even though you eye rolled at the videos. And then came Nirvana, singing about eating peoples cancer, yuck. Unfortunately, killed the good-time buzz.
I do feel blessed. I'd rather live in the 80s than today's ugly world of dumb social media, nonstop whining and worse: really bad music. I have NO CDs produced after 2006 because, well music just got bad. Verrry bad, hardly any better than hearing someone vomit in a toilet.
"She's so fine,,,there's no tellin' where the money went..." I just love that line! Robert Palmer was so cool. My mom used to refer to the women as the patent leather lip girls. I miss his class.
So, my work just had a holiday party with an 80's theme. I bought a tight, black, scoop neck mini dress for $10 on Amazon, got some wide orange ribbon from Joann fabrics, slicked back my hair, troweled on the makeup and went as one of these fierce ladies! The guy in charge of the music did NOT play this song. I confronted him about it (just said, "Hey, are we going to hear any Robert Palmer tonight?"), and he was still baffled the next Monday as to why the hell he didn't have it in his playlist.
Cool, sharp, debonair, creative, handsome, classy, amazing and one one of the sharpest dressing musicians ever! I truly enjoyed all of his performances! Robert Palmer had the best videos surrounded by beautiful women!! RIP Robert! You were truly a gentleman and a class act! 🙏🙏

A sexy video without being raunchy and over the top. Love the 80's music.
I agree completely with you Kimberly. The performance made by Palmer, the dresses, movements and makeup of the models are...simply irresistible!. Today is very complex to find videoclips made with this elegance.
Guess who dj smidnightcaller 7 years
Yes, it really is. Love the choreography too.
Bruh, it was raunchy for its time
Exactly. It's not sleazy, just hot.
Speechless. 80's music image style peak. Audiovisual masterpiece.
Fun fact: it’s impossible to be as cool as Robert Palmer.
The Steve McQueen of rock.
You said it old son,if James Bond was a rock star,he’d be Robert Palmer.
Totally! why are canadian guys cool?
Why does he remind me of Ross Martin?
@@tedmulthauf7434 The James Bond of rock.
Robert Palmer never had an enormous following, but he was highly respected both for the songs he sang, and the sincere, yet often understated way in which he sang them. One of my favourite musicians
Peter Metaxas love him alwyas
You sound like Patrick Bateman.
"She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went." Great line and hot video even after all these years. The song is simply irresistible!
Incredible vocalist. A true iconic British legend with a unique style.
Robert died tragically young...imagine how many more of these magical Bangers he would have released....end of an era!!
God Bless you Robert for leaving these Gems to make us feel good about life in this boring PC world!
+borderlord: He died of a massive heart attack on Sept 26, 2003.
He had a great voice for sure.
@@Supersweetguy 😢
Terrible thing we lost Robert Palmer... One of the great videos ever.
I know...I still love Robert Palmer 💖
Even today nobody has been able to put a video together to match his power and style!
Very true!
I didn't know that. So sad. What a talent!
Robert Palmer was one of great singer there was just like the rest that we last
He was so darn handsome and cool! This song is a real lift to me, as a woman when I'm feeling down. I feel simply irresistible while this song plays. When my husband gets home, he is in for a fantastic timeof loving!
Hello how are you doing
Hot damn, the 80’s were the BEST!
Robert Palmer was like the James Bond of Rock & Roll. Cool, Handsome, British, a Sharp Dresser & Always surrounded by Beautiful Women.
+Brad Cordrey How naïve. You obviously don't pay much attention to news like the one from San Bernardino.
+KoolCat ! Yup and he was really English too!! ;)
+Number1Dougster Nope... just no... just stop it X(
+Brad Cordrey Brother you need Jesus and don't do that meth anymore a it makes you hallucinate with evil thoughts such as yours are, seek the Word of God, spread Love just as God created Love, Amen. Strive to focus on God, for God is the antidote for those sinful thoughts which you need to overcome evil. Jesus cast out demons, though you somehow slipped by.
+Brad Cordrey Then they have kids and you have to pay alimony!
I saw Robert Palmer in Guam in the mid 80's. Yes, Guam :-)))....
Hafa aday, or something like that.
Lovehim Coolness!
I was in Guam as well 89-91 loved it so much!!!!
Was it for a mission?
University of Guam!
No singer done it with as much class as this man,and style.
A great video of the 1980s. R.I.P. Mr Rober Palmer.
Robert Palmer wrote some seriously bad-ass, kick-ass rock tracks, like this song
Robert Palmer was ahead of his time, Genius
@@marglam6123 Pretty good? PRETTY GOOD? Really? His music was and still IS semi irresistible!
@@elbennoo Totally, all she has to do is watch Robert Palmer's...I didn't mean to turn you on
His music will pass the test of time with flying colors!
Truly Epic, brian
It has. I have his Addictions CDs and still play them. I also love his version of "Some guys have all the luck." MUCH better than Rod Stewart's, especially with the background chorus. He was a genius.
Will? Oh I think his music has stood the test of time. Here I am 40 years later still watching and drooling. Somehow I don't think what they call music will be remembered as well.
35年前にメルボルンでこの曲をメインにコンサートがあり 行きました 最高でした！
This is the greatest music video of all time.
No... Addicted to Love is the best of all time
I absolutely agree! As a young woman, I was highly intimidated and learned a lot from it!
Hello how are you doing
Gentlemen. Please take hats off listenin' to The One of The Greatest Musicians of the 20th Century.......
Amen bro, he left us way too young. The only issue I have with this video is so many simply irresistible women wearing those ugly ass, nasty smelling NYLONS, AKA "Grannyhose". The 70's called and want their fashion back. Thank GOD nylons went out of style in the early 80's and have NEVER made a return, outside of fetish fantasy. Real women don't wear those ugly, unfashionable things. #bare legs #bare feet
Listen. because my eyes are not watching at Robert Palmer
one of the best videos ever.
@@tombstone1111 yes and then you turn 66 and have no choice. Grow up
THE BEST DRESSED ROCK SINGER IN HISTORY
Right on the Money!!!
I'd say Robert Palmer and Bryan Ferry are on the same tier.
As much as I agree with you, Bryan Ferry might just give him a run for his money.
Al Hopkins
Ferry couldn't carry Palmer's jock in a goalie bag......
This isn’t rock, but yeah he dresses sharp.
I've never seen more beautiful women in my life. This video and Addicted to Love. Classics. Two of the best videos ever made.
Saw him in concert and he looked impeccable. Such a class act.
He is gorgeous 😍
Hi I guess you must be gen x huge fan too?
ohhhhh...women...there’s no other being alive on the universe with so much beauty like a woman...from head to toes...they’re perfect
Unless they aren’t. Unless they’re obese like most of them are now
the good ones.....the ones that dont use F word, smoke or use crack...and tattoes, wtvr. I am old guy so shoot me.....
@@ronnietoots6797 damn bro!...where do you go to meet women ?...
The song, Palmer's style, the lyrics & the video...all very original and stood the test of time. He was on a roll in the late eighties, the Steve McQueen of Popmusic.
THE 80's where simply irresistible....we just didn't know it at the time
......wish we could go back
Obviously there will never be such an explosion of catchy unique innocent maybe a little sexy fun music with the best beats and sounds.
A fine Englishman, loads of sophisticated talent, very smooth operator. RIP Robert.
RIP Robert Palmer... a great voice and talent sorely missed
"She's so fine there's no telling where the money went". Best line ever... and I personally identify with this line. ;0)
LOL, we all do.
George Michael- Everything She Wants
Heehee! She's worth it [to me].
LOL
You gold digger
Robert Palmer IS the James Bond of Rock and Roll ... Period!!
Sounds good but why? ( i dont know sh!t about bond 🤦♀️)
@@grannysweet Years ago a DJ referred to him as that. After watching some of Palmer's music videos I had to agree. He steps out on stage in a suit and tie surrounding by beautiful girls. If Bond, James Bond could sing ... couldn't you just picture it?
That’s for sure
It's worth noting: to date, this song still has the highest reading level in its lyrics of all Top 100 songs ever. The line "Her methods are inscrutable; the proof is irrefutable." is specifically a post-grade-12-level sentence.
Billy Joel's "Summer, Highland Falls" is pretty intelligent, too.
That is one of the things that makes this song so good. Most of today's songs are at an elementary school reading level.
Kids today don't seem to get that kinda vocab from legends of rock and roll 👍👍👍😃😃😃😃
Joel Springman, that she did 😆
This is probably the dumbest thing I've read on UA-cam in a very long time. You old fucks realize that gangster rap often has bigger words than these?
It never gets old. I believe even a baptist preacher could rock to this.
Only if there weren't another Baptist there
........or a judge!
And you is??
In addition to his fantastic voice, this man gathered an army of women with similar looks & builds, and got them all to move with fluid synchronization! He was an Absolute Maestro of Music!
Robert Palmer is the James Bond of music ;-))
R.I.P! Always the best dressed rocker! His music is timeless!
Yes, he really was. The music was everything, and the sartorial splendor was extra.
Another inmortal icon of our beloved 80's.. Great!!
This song is Legendary! Robert Palmer is a G.O.A.T. !
kolby woodruff--What does that mean?
Greatest Of all time
how can an entire generation not feel blessed for having this back in the day...
We were blessed, the 80's were a wonderful times. So free and chill. Then AIDS happened.
Well to be honest, I grew up in that generation and this was a pretty sexist video even for that time. But a lot of music back in the 80s was generally pretty sexist if you look at a lot of the hair band music. At the same time there was just something fun about van Halen videos and such. Nobody really took themselves that seriously so it was possible to enjoy the music even though you eye rolled at the videos. And then came Nirvana, singing about eating peoples cancer, yuck. Unfortunately, killed the good-time buzz.
I do feel blessed. I'd rather live in the 80s than today's ugly world of dumb social media, nonstop whining and worse: really bad music. I have NO CDs produced after 2006 because, well music just got bad. Verrry bad, hardly any better than hearing someone vomit in a toilet.
@@largol33t1 yeah pretty much everything after 2010 is the same monotone rinse and repeat.
A classic tune, end of story. RIP A True Legend.
Oh, he died?
@@ghostface7591 2003
@@ghostface7591 did not know that either until earlier this year. He's one hell of a singer.
This video is an example of why the world needs both men and women.
"She's so fine,,,there's no tellin' where the money went..." I just love that line! Robert Palmer was so cool. My mom used to refer to the women as the patent leather lip girls. I miss his class.
Bars!! 🤣
The pepsi girls!
Just want Robert Palmer back. Todays music doesnt stand up.
Yupp! He was the real deal, authentic to the core!
HES DEAD
@@chemicaljk1447 just like today's music
@@0786AHA oh yes
This music today is DEAD! Garbage. Sad. I don't know if it will ever change. Rap's heydays were the 1990's. Time to move on.
My favorite Robert Palmer song. That bass line rocks!
Sounds like Power Station.
So, my work just had a holiday party with an 80's theme. I bought a tight, black, scoop neck mini dress for $10 on Amazon, got some wide orange ribbon from Joann fabrics, slicked back my hair, troweled on the makeup and went as one of these fierce ladies!
The guy in charge of the music did NOT play this song. I confronted him about it (just said, "Hey, are we going to hear any Robert Palmer tonight?"), and he was still baffled the next Monday as to why the hell he didn't have it in his playlist.
Cool, sharp, debonair, creative, handsome, classy, amazing and one one of the sharpest dressing musicians ever! I truly enjoyed all of his performances! Robert Palmer had the best videos surrounded by beautiful women!! RIP Robert! You were truly a gentleman and a class act! 🙏🙏
He was also a true gentleman.
Totally agree
@@marybarry2230 100% Class.
Hello how are you doing
the fact that there is a sword slash sound effect before every chorus just goes to show how awesome this song is
I was literally reading this comment and I heard it at that same time. One time near the end I notice he seems to flinch from the sound.
I think it is from a video game from back in the 80's.
It's a sound clip from disney's the sword in the stone
Remembering Robert Palmer: Jan. 19, 1949 - Sept. 26, 2003. He's simply irresistible! We miss you.
I saw him perform in Ann Arbof, Mi - I miss him
He was so talented. I loved his early blues stuff too. And he was totally hot!
Lorelei Shannon - He sure was. And, bucked the trend, wearing those suits. Like ZZ Top said, "Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man"
he.died? how?! he can't be dead!
Natural causes. He had a massive heart attack. RIP
Good ole Robert , loved his Music, and it’s sad he passed on at ,just 54 , reminds me of my brother Robert he passed on At 27 ! 😢
The best rock video ever! Robert Palmer struck pure gold with this one.
I went to the same school as Robert and basically, knowing the English teachers, there's no question his lyrics were always going to be brilliant!
Sure
