What a great song from the early 1980's. If you weren't around back then, you really missed out. The music was absolutely amazing. It was a party 24/7. I really miss that time period. I'm sure I'm not the only one. This song was a staple at every house party you went to. It was everywhere.
I don't drink, smoke, or do drugs, but I do get high just by listening to good music like this. This is a good 80s rock song. 80s rock music 4ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@Joshuadgog Definitely. All an artist needs is one song. My "I Lie, You Lie" may be that one tune for me: ua-cam.com/video/amrXlywecCA/v-deo.html. Thanks and take care.
Along time ago I used to listen to this song a LOT..lol. Then it kind of got away from me...or me it..lol..and I too forgot the name of it and had to sing the exact same thing to my husband (of all people..the break up song?? lol) and laughed at me and told me the name and who sang it. So yeah, I get it.. happened to me too...lol. But now we know and bet we don't forget it again (: Take care.
That's better than my own situation, cause I did that too, but nobody knew the name, so I had to google on it. I tried it like "Ah ah ah..." "Uh uh uh..." 'til the name came out like "Oh oh oh..." So, I've to say: Thanks Yahoo answers. lol.

The 80s music will put you on another planet that no one will understand unless you have a love of the 80s music. You don't need drugs or alcohol to appreciate the best music ever. God....take me back to the 80s and leave me there....I'll be just fine.

This song has been in my head since the 80s and accidentally came across it a few minutes ago. That "ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ahh" line is among the catchiest and contagious I experienced in the 80s!

A hidded secret. Baltimore is home to many musical talents including yes, Greg Kihn. I was best friends with a wonderful Drummer in a local band back in the late 60s up in a suburb named Middle River. Near Baltimore. They were Great. I always wonder if they made it. But Greg Kihn has that same style. Keep Rockin!!!
Someone please build me a time machine. Make it a one way trip. Love singing UH UH UH.... I took a ride to Big Sur and blasting this song among other songs from my era. and smelling that ocean air Anyone wants to take a ride to Big Sur with me?
@@monicamarquez3840 hey, i luvv cult classics so i can't believe i never heard of this movie. Whats it about? When did it come out? Was it good bcuz movies suck these days & cost from $16.50 - $21.00. Thx.
It would seem that a lot of people here were directed from the usage of the song in other media. I really hope the creators of this song finally get proper compensation and recognition for a priceless contribution to the spirit of rock and bands writing and playing songs they created and put their souls into.
R.I.P Greg Kihn , this song Will never be forgot
I would really be hurt if my lady broke up with me. Shit!
RIPower, Greg Kihn The breakup song, really hits hard and different now. You’ll be sorely missed, Greg.
Heard he passed away today. Rest in peace 🕊️✌🏻! Thanks for the music brother!

We had broken up for good just an hour before
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as there's dancin' 'cross the floor
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me down
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
We'd been living together for a million years
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
But now it feel so strange (out in the atmospheres?)
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as they dancin' so slow
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
Now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Cause its so easy to say that you'll forget your past
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore, no!
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
its amazing how time has flown I was 16 learning to drive on buick century car when I first heard this song in 1985, and now im 55 and where I live every body is rude.
May Greg Kihn rest in peace he passed this week!🙏🏽🎶🥹

+Porta dos Fundos (nome provisório) hahaushs aiai
***** é nooois kkkk huehue
👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
This song has been in my head since the 80s and accidentally came across it a few minutes ago. That "ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ahh" line is among the catchiest and contagious I experienced in the 80s!
I remember seeing them perform the starting song on Saturday Night Live back when it was the best show ever before it went down hill
LYRICS
We had broken up for good
Just an hour before
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing 'cross the floor
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And then the band slowed the tempo
And the music gets you down
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
It was the same old song
With a melancholy sound
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
We'd been living together for a million years
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
And now I'm staring at the bodies
As they're dancing so slow
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
Mm, now I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah
'Cause it's so easy to say
That she'll forget your past
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, aah
They don't write 'em like that anymore
No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't, no, they don't, no no, uh-uh
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't
Thank you so much 🙏😊
❤
Rest in peace brother ❤
My gosh this brings me back to my childhood 😔❤️
Great music in 80's and miss them😊
Gets you moving even when you don't want to. Simply amazing!
Addictive song
So glad that this song got Greg the recognition he deserved. Awesome album, too.
A hidded secret. Baltimore is home to many musical talents including yes, Greg Kihn. I was best friends with a wonderful Drummer in a local band back in the late 60s up in a suburb named Middle River. Near Baltimore. They were Great. I always wonder if they made it. But Greg Kihn has that same style. Keep Rockin!!!
This music brings tears to My eyes great music I am 66 and the music in my life time is fantastic.
It really is, and I’m 23.
Speeding away from cops on a motorcycle to get to the airport to steal a plane so you can make a grand escape.
dude I actually did that on GTA 5 because this song is even on it
Zane Blatt I came here from GTAV. Most of the songs in the game I've never heard before and I love the soundtrack!
Same dude
+Zane Blatt I did it with a blimp lol
jet trooper ha nice
"LET ME IN" Brought me here. YESSS I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!! Chloe Moretz aswell
Someone please build me a time machine. Make it a one way trip. Love singing UH UH UH.... I took a ride to Big Sur and blasting this song among other songs from my era. and smelling that ocean air Anyone wants to take a ride to Big Sur with me?
Loved it when this song played in the movie "Let me in". Instant cult classic.
Yesssss I love that movie!!!
@@monicamarquez3840 hey, i luvv cult classics so i can't believe i never heard of this movie. Whats it about? When did it come out? Was it good bcuz movies suck these days & cost from $16.50 - $21.00. Thx.
Wtf are they teaching these kids in schools these days? Cyber impulsive rocket sledding? Denied man
this version rocks too and heard this on the radio at work the other day and had to hear it on here.a classic and a gem.
It would seem that a lot of people here were directed from the usage of the song in other media. I really hope the creators of this song finally get proper compensation and recognition for a priceless contribution to the spirit of rock and bands writing and playing songs they created and put their souls into.
Great song. Great band. RIP Greg
Never heard this version before. Very cool. Those wet vocals are outstanding!
Which versions have you heard?
Fuck!!!
