Lyrics:
[Chorus]
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of...
[Verse 1]
I've had enough of scheming
And messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm looking for a partner
Someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question:
Do you want to be rich?
[Chorus]
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
Let's make lots of money
[Verse 2]
You can tell I'm educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
Choose the perfect time
If you've got the inclination
I have got the crime
[Bridge]
Oh, there's a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them
You know, there's a lot of opportunities
If there aren't you can make them
Make or break them
[Chorus]
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
Let's make lots of money
Let's make lots of
[Interlude]
Money
[Verse 3]
You can see I'm single-minded
I know what I could be
How'd you feel about it?
Come and take a walk with me
I'm looking for a partner
Regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense
[Chorus]
Let's make
(Got the brains, got the looks)
Let's make lots of money
(Money)
(Let's make)
You've got the brawn, I've got the brains
(Ooh)
Let's make lots of money
(Money)
[Chorus]
I've got the brains, you've got the looks
(Got the brains, got the looks)
Let's make lots of money
(Ooh money)
[Outro]
Money

i want to cry. we have lost such an era, and it will never return...
I feel a bit bad I wasn't into this group back my cousin from Buffalo was heavy into them back then
80s had so many iconic songs! This was one of them!
You put it “PERFECTLY!” Well said!♥️
Long live the 80s
@@karenstrycharz1499 You crazy
@@adrianjackson6541 “You are a fool!”🤣
80s sucked for good music, the hair bands were hudge if you call that iconic you never seen really good music Rolling Stones Jethro Tull,and so on the 90 came and it was all about you to
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that beautiful tie Neil is wearing? That is the most quintessentially 80's thing I've ever seen lol. It's very cool.
I noticed it, too. It looks straight out of the art deco 20's.
With a dash of snooker referee with the white gloves
I love this song !!!! I play it over and over in my head. I am 73 years old but I still like my rock and roll, lol.
I am 71 but I feel the same way! 🤣
Same age god bless x
I'm 60 :)
me too I am old
New Wave snithpop Forever 80' Best decade
Allstate brought me here! I was in college during the 80s but I do NOT remember this top ten hit. But I loved it as soon as I heard it in the commercial. Great song! The 80s - Great decade!
DITTO to everything you said except I had my 1 st child! Very fun song, catchy!
Love you all. Great music.
I dont know how I missed it either
@@judyanne3563 i was living off the grid and all we had was a car cassette player nailed into a tree and a place for the car battery to sit.... played reggae non stop. i had no idea what other music was happening - we were very isolated.
It came after West End Girls, overshadowed I guess, but yes , still a top 10 us hit
This song is a commercial for Allstate insurance right now. Always love PSB❤️❤️❤️❤️
The more things change,the more they stay the same...Big 80s FOREVER.
Nothing has changed in man in 10,000 years except the technology or belief that binds him. Let's make all the money. Fathom that.
When music was great 👍🏻
Great song. I think that's the most I've ever seen Chris move!
You must see this, then. lmao
ua-cam.com/video/g9LX7YDfhYE/v-deo.html
LMFAO right lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣I BURST OUT LAUGHING WHEN I READ YOUR COMMENT MARCUS! You are to darn funny but so true! I need to add though that this song has always been a favorite of mine!!!!♥️
I have always loved these guys. Your right 80's had the best music ever. Now days you can hardly understand what they are singing.
As someone stated on Facebook recently I miss the old America. Now that is the truth.
Крис явно руки там накачал😂😂💛
Love the visualness of the drumming.
I LOVED THIS SONG WHEN I SAW THE ALLSTATE COMMERCIAL, GOOGLED IT AND FOUND OUT ALL ABOUT THE SONG..MY SON LOVED THESE GUYS IN THE 80'S..NOW MOM LOVES THE SONG TOO....THANKS ALLSTATE EVEN THOUGH I CANCEL MY INS. WITH YOU 5YRS AGO
So did I
How old is your mom?
Они сделали экскурс в их историю
Makes me nostalgic 😪 Pet Shop Boys used to be my favorite Band in my younger days...the world was a wonderful place...Thank you Allstate for bringing me back to this song.
I remember my brother jamming to the pet shop boys everyday riding to school in his chevette. We were the “cool kids”that didn’t have to ride the school bus lmao we were such nerds miss the 80s the best
If you only know this because of a TV ad you aren't into 80s music. Chris looks like he is from the early 90s, ahead of its time.
I’ve always loved the Pet Shop Boys! Neil was my first celebrity crush
Me too
Amazing how a commercial can bring life to a band/song, if laughs at the commercial everytime
How very true! Makes everything relevant again, ha! so to speak! How right you are!♥️
Right now I can't recall the commercial you mentioned but do remember the song! For a long time I thought the title of it was "You've Got the Looks"...lol
After listening to that commercial for months it brought me here. I remember the Pet Shop boys from back in the day!!! Music was so awesome back then.
Same with me! Always loved this song but that commercial ( ad) brought me here too!🤣
Thanks Allstate for getting this stuck in my head! At least it's a good tune.
Great song! I'm 72 but never heard it before the Allstate commercial. The only problem with this song is that when I wake up in the middle of the night, the tune is still in my head!
Then listen to West End Girls
Loved the Pet Shop Boys then... love them now 😊
I soooooo love this song 🎶’& loved it in the ‘80’s and absolutely love it “now!”You are so right though for this melodic song plays forever in my mind. I never ever get sick of hearing it, too!❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡❤️🧡
Thanks Allstate for the song. But you still cost more than my other insurance :)
Try Geico!
I hope someone pin this comment bc this is the truth!!!!
That ad is what brought me go this song
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Absolutely a iconic banger
Listening to this in a commercial made me search for it... I can't stop listening to it. A masterpiece.
I feel the same way! Loved it when it came out in the ‘80’s & love it now. It is a song ( tune) that I can never get enough of, I don’t care “how many times I listen to it!”♥️
The Allstate version is a cover, right? Sounds different. Still, I love it!
Me2 bruuuuuhhhh🤔🤔😂😂✌🏾🖤
Same here...I dont know how I missed it back in the 80s
Ikr!!
My first album I ever owned given to me as a birthday gift. It cost $7.99 from a store called Music + and it has a sticker on it touting the XDR technology. ( X-Tra Dynamic Reproduction). What an incredible decade to be a youth in.
I love when I get transported back to the distinctive sound of those crazy 80’s. Oh the memories. Thanks Allstate!
I❤️pet shop boys ever in my life...
I always loved this song & when I hear it in a commercial now, I have to say that I literally stop everything , for the few seconds the commercial plays, to listen to it! This has always been a favorite song 🎶 that I have forever loved, from the ‘80’s! Just a “fun, upbeat 🎵 song but the music 🎶 seems to play, forever in your mind! Love the words & energetic, “catchy music!!!! ♥️
Oh how i love Chris playing that drums, so energetic, it is fantastic, Neil cute as always. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💋💋🔝
Chris is always cute psb will always be fantastic ❤em
"Aaaayyee Yo!! That "ALLSTATE" commercial brought me here🤦🏾🤦🏾🤷🏿🤷🏿😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🖤🖤
Same here
Same bruh 🖤
4 decades of great music by one of the greatest duo ever !!! Long live PSB 📻📢🔈🔉🔊🎼🎵🎶🎹🎤🏪7 365
Good jam even til this day.
You're not here because of Allstate. You're here because those electronic drums look fantastic and the drummer is wearing a yellow raincoat while playing them.
No, it is because of Allstate.
I wore yellow raincoat at porn theatres in the 70s
That drummer is often mistaken for Danny Carey of TOOL😋.. I believe Danny's may be a bit more complex.🤔
No, 🤣I am here purely because of that incredible song, that plays forever in your head, after you hear the All State commercial on tv! LOL! 😂 Admittedly, I agree with you that the drummer in yellow raincoat, playing those drums is absolutely amazing BUTTTTTTTTTT”......FACT
IS, FOR ME ANYWAY 😆 LOL!......, “ I AM HERE PURELY DUE TO THAT MELODIC 🎶 SONG , 🎵 THAT I CANNOT GET OUT OF MY MIND/MEMORY ( actually, don’t want to ha! for “I LOVE THIS SONG!”) , ♥️
♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕♥️♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕♥️💕
I’m 100% just here for Chris Lowe
My fave Pet Shop Boys song, first heard it in HS back in 86 & still love it in 2022!!!!
The 80's.....just a wonderful time
I'm 73 but I remember this song because of my two son. Love it!
I am 71 but I used to listen to it in the ‘80’s when it came out on MTV! How I loved MTV! Ha!
this was the year I was born, LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!! THANKS ALLSTATE FOR LETTING US KNOW
A great all time performance
This is the best commercial song I ever heard.
One of my favourite songs from them. Love it! And Neil has beautiful eyelashes :)
My favorite song they ever sang! Just love this song!
Yes...he does
Legends
Love … love … 80 ‘s Music 🎶💕🎧🎶 Pet Shop Boys so great , I am listening 2021 July 16
Pet Shop Boys Forever.
Epic
I was 28 when it came out in '86, and I didn't need an Allstate commercial either......
Oh sftu
Exactly
There is something that identifies Pet Shop Boys and that is that despite having great covers like GO WEST or ALWAYS ON MY MIND, the lyrics, arrangements and music of their songs is their composition, that undoubtedly makes them to this day , one of the best components of pop music in history, really great
I absolutely agree with your opinion👏👏👏
I may have to consider making the switch from nationwide after watching this masterpiece
Such a great iconic track. Always reminds me of The Clothes Show
This makes me want to speed really fast, down a scenic highway
My favorite Pet Shop Boys song........ greetings of Perú...
Greetings to you too from south western Massachusetts, USA! This is one of my favorite songs too!
Great song never grows old
How right you are!
I thank the Insurance Co for reminding us of the Great Music of the 80's,.....makes me smile
What a voice...one of the best
I love this song!
Came here to find the rest of the lyrics cuz I can't get rid of this damn earwig! Literally go to bed every night humming it. Only way to kill it is to hear the end of the song. Or so I've heard. Now I'm humming West End Girls. Dang.
Love this!
I feel the same way about this amazing song!!!
I feel the same way! Ha!
When i get this Song out of my head,my head ist Spinning arround "Suburbia"😂
Only Chris knows how to hit that drum in style
YESSSSSS
I agree
How true!
check out larry mullen jr at live aid. just bono and larry on stage and larry is playing a single, big ,heavy drum almost like a timpani.. BOOM. BooM the drumsticks looked to be the size of tree saplings. playing "sunday, bloody sunday" makes the hairs on the back of my neck just crackle.....
I like watching him beat those do dads
Tetris reminded us of this beautiful song again
Love this song!! Can't stop humming it!! 👍👍👍👍👍😀😊😊💕💕🌹🌹
Thanks Allstate! Love the song ... and we have your home and auto insurance.
Chris, you bang!
All state brought me here but this is the best version I’ve found yet
Me too!
I agree!
yep me too...80's 90s kid here
Absolutely!
Love this song
Great song.....thanks Allstate !
It’s an awesome commercial. Love it!
This is the awesome rendition thats on the new ad that came out during the super bowl
It's also the rendition on the record because he's lip-synching
I really love this song❤️
Exactly - great song, great performance.
Yes Choe, so do I.
I love this song too!
I have to sing along every time this commercial comes on.
I do too!
Feel good song. POSITIVE!
I love the new commercial that it's so cool that
The Allstate commercial is the best I've seen.
It's the singing hood ornament that does it for me. Brilliant idea that.
I absolutely love this commercial & due entirely to this commercial, it makes me contemplate dropping my longtime insurance company, of many yrs that I love 😂& switch over to “All State! “Ha! I loved this song in the 80’s but this song 🎵 plays forever in my mind now, due entirely to this extraordinary commercial. Only thing I do not like about this commercial & others will & do undoubtedly love it, so it is just me is ........... “that singing hood ornament !!! ! I find it “creepy & I do NOT like, “ lol! 🤣 but the guy driving in his convertible, top down, with this 🎵song blaring on the radio, I absolutely love, love, love! Whoever came up with this idea at All State’s advertising company is absolutely brilliant! We will all remember this ad because of this catchy commercial & it is sure to generate business for them, unquestionably, & the name recognition for “ALL STATE INSURANCE ”,is out there now, entirely due to this commercial!♥️
Love this song!
Genios por siempre de la música más sofisticada! Así o más claro!!
Somehow cool music of All the Songs of The Pet Shop Boys... I love it !
Just LOVE IT❤️
I'M here because they still got it, and sound great
Thanks for posting this PSBs! This is the first of your songs that I ever heard ... when I was 13, I could not understand the depth of this 'social commentary' and it is a timeless theme.
Great song
Thanks for the great memories!!!
Love you all
I was listening to a lot of music in the 80's and never heard this song....thanks Allstate!
Same here
This is just a beautiful song. the original version too❤
Allstate revitalized this song and it looks like it brought us all here. The lady hood ornament kinda creeps me out..j/s.😂🙌
Same here
That thing is freaking unsettling. Good song though!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel the exact same way about that bizarre 😂 singing hood ornament, too!” I too, get the creeps from that “singing hood ornament but I gotta say, I also just love that 🎵 song! It is also the reason why I am here! I went exploring who put out this song ( couldn’t remember who recorded it in the ‘80’s) & to get info on it. I couldn’t get it out of my mind, after I watched the commercial! Let me just say, it is the best money Allstate ever spent, securing the copy rights on this song, in order to make this commercial, even if is just temporarily being able to use this song for their commercial!!!!! Whoever the ad person is, that came up w/ the idea to use this song &
Is in charge of this ad campaign, is an absolute genius! Everyone loves this song &
It will be forever connected to All State Insurance, for most do not remember this song being popular in the ‘80’s! I couldn’t remember who sang it & had to research it myself! What a great 🎵 song this is!
I'm here too
Me too. Totally creeped out!
Great song 🎵👌
Perfección hecha música..genios
Never heard of this song and i love music...THANKS ALL STATE! I love the woman singing on the hood and you can actually here the driver's voice singing this great song! I was 5 yrs old when this came out...WOW
They played it on MTV & radio( in our area, near Boston) all the time but loved the video on MTV so much!♥️
it's cool 🤩
Simplemente extraordinarios por siempre ❤️
Beautiful NEIL!!!!
I love forever PSB 😍 Chris and Neil the best in the Pop Dance in the World! Viva PSB forever, mis primitos bellos!!! Los adoro!!!!
Love this song, don't remember it as a top ten, great song!
Pet Shop Boys 2023 🔊
I ❤️ the 80s
I do too! Great music from that era & the ‘60’s too!
Ladies and gentlemen, my favorite rock drummer…Chris Lowe!
God, I want that A.I.F.A. hat Chris has!
Thanks Allstate
Extraordinary single, simply on the basis that masses of the audience took it absolutely literally.
I used to tell my mom before she died that she looked like the hood ornament on the car in this Allstate commercial! She used to scold me and deny it, but truthfully, she did look like that hood ornament. lol
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother!🥲May she “Rest In Peace Horace!”
There was a mini series on NBC(?), in the mid 80s called "The Billionaire Boys Club". This song was also the theme song. Anyone else remember?
A 35 year old song, and everyone associates it with a new commercial.
This is how I know I'm getting really old.
LOL I was 20-21 and club'n when this hit the airways and bars :)
@@motomc1 I was in 6th grade. 😃
@@charitysghost1207 I guess I'm really really old Ha! lol I wouldn't trade the 80's 90's for the times we live in now. Glad I still have a few brain cells left :)
🤣🤣🤣
This is just awesome ❤
Love this !👍🏻🤠
Love this song lets listen to it again !!🤠😎👍🏻
Listen to this song! It awesome!🤠
