Robert Palmer was such a great artist. He was always dressed so dapper, and I love his voice. He died at the age of only 54 in 2003 of a heart attack. Gone WAY too soon. R.I.P. Robert Palmer
@@DanSolo871 I think I had read that somewhere at the time of his death about him being a heavy smoker. I can't believe he's been gone that long. Almost 20 years.
@@kierstenridgway4634 I could be wrong, but I've always taken it to mean that she's the whole package...where did she put the money...hair, face-work, breast-enhancement, the gym, clothes, etc., etc., etc.?
These videos that Robert Palmer did with these models got me started in modeling when I was young. Wore my hair and makeup like that to an audition, and it totally worked! Got the gig!
Robert Palmer and half of the band from Duran Duran also became a band The Power Station and the first single was Some Like it Hot and the did a Marc Bolan T-Rex cover to Bang a Gong (Get It On) for thier second single. Also songs to check out... Another solo career song he covered and released I Didn't Mean to Turn You On that was released by Cherrelle and he released it at the same time her version was on the R&B charts
You left out Tony Thompson on drums. One of the most iconic drummers of the 70s and 80s. Dave Grohl copied his style of drumming when he was in Nirvana.
@@wesbaumguardner8829 Well, was not exatly by the hands that i knew it. I got this information years before on a magazine here in Brazil, and i though was a good idea because she is a great guitarrist and also a gorgeous woman, just like the models in the video.
@@sergiorenatojornalista4617 Cool, I had no idea that was her and I appreciate the information. I agree with your assessment of her talent and beauty. She is/was underrated as an artist. Cheers!
I love his song "SNEAKIN' SALLY THROUGH THE ALLEY", for obvious reasons. I always had that song sung to me back in the day. Robert Palmer is worth a deep dive.
@@sethemmit1627 Nah you got that backwards. Communication was Power Station and I Didn't Mean to Turn You On was Robert Palmer. so confusing as they came out in the same year.
One of the best lines is "She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went." LOL! :-D Also, in the 80's there was a pretty famous artist called Nagel who painted women very stylishly and you can tell they took inspiration from him for the women in this video.
This was preceded by "Addicted To Love" and for that video someone had the idea to have a band of lookalike female mannequins playing behind Robert. When it came time to shoot a video for this, they took the "female mannequin" theme and changed it up a bit. The two videos are sorta partnered with each other.
There is actually a set of 3 of these videos. Here's the 3rd ua-cam.com/video/5ghGChEFmXo/v-deo.html It's funny how everybody forgets this one because of all the trans girls. I was hoping by now we all would've grown out of that...
@@Me-qp8vz Why are you spamming a link to a Eddie Murphy music video, recorded and released 30 years after Robert Palmer released "Simply Irresistible", that does not have any women or transgender women in it and does not remotely resemble the Robert Palmer music video?
@Geo Dio 😂 I know what you mean. The acoustics are better in small spaces like cars and showers and make us all sound better. When we get out and sing in open space, it's easier to hear how awful we are!
Well, you wouldn't be totally wrong about the commercial part. This song along with the style of video and even Robert Palmer himself were in a few Pepsi ads after this song blew up. The ads were completely shot in the same video style and even a few of the lyrics were tweaked such as "her" to "it". I mean, with the line "Simply Irresistible", it could work for almost any product.
In the late '80s he found his lane visually to stand apart from the rest of the pop artists of that Era and it was these models swaying in the background while he sang they were best used in the " Addicted To Love" music video R.I.P.Robert Palmer
The next two follow-up videos should be "Addicted to love" by Robert Palmer, then "Man I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain. Once you see them, you'll understand why I'd suggest them together.
Robert had an interesting career. He had his 1970s successes ("Doctor, Doctor", "Sneaking Sally Through.the Alley"), faded for a bit, became the rock critic for the New York Times, and used that visibility to jumpstart his comeback (both as a soloist and, as noted, in the supergroup The Power Station). And then he died, too young. "Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky", to quote the lyrics by Kansas. (Have you done Kansas yet? Do it. Not just "Carry On My Wayward Son", but "Icarus [Borne on Wings of Steel]" and other lesser-known tracks.)
Hey Jessica, just saw your comment re: RP NYT Rock critic. RP was a real musicologist who lived and breathed music, but the NYT critic happened to be another Robert Palmer (an American from Little Rock, Ark.) who passed in 1997.
@@rora2297 Wow, really? I spent *decades* thinking it was so cool that the NYT had an actual rock artist as their critic, rather than some old grump who loved Perry Como or whatever. And then I was so excited for his 1980s success. Where was Wikipedia when I needed it? Apologies to anyone I misled. Thanks. (In my defense, the NYT''s bridge [Alan Truscott] and chess [Robert Byrne] columnists were world-famous experts, so I just assumed this was another prestige hire. But I guess games of skill are different than the performing arts.)
Aside from this FUN Song ---- I was blown away when it came out with these gorgeous models!!! We hadn't seen anything like that before!!!! 80'S WAS WILD LIKE LEX SAID!!!!!! BEST TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!! 🙃🙃🙃 RIP ROBERT PALMER
You're right with it being used in a commercial. Applebee's used it in a recent TV ad campaign for their "bowl" meals. Simply Irresistibowls was the play on word with the song.
The entire Riptide album was phenomenal - started a whole new genre. (as was Heavy Nova)... Don't get me started on Tony Thompson being one of the greatest drummers ever... ...and then there was Power Station
RIP Robert Palmer! This is such a great song. Check him out in his other band The Power Station (with John Taylor of Duran Duran). Listen to Some Like it Hot or Get it On.
They just seen the other video from Palmer which is similar "Addicted to Love". lol. Now they just need to see "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" from Robert Palmer, same kind of video!
Robert Palmer had an interesting career. His earlier albums, like Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley, were way cool. For proof, check out the trilogy of "Sailin' Shoes">"Hey Julia">"Sneakin' Salley Through The Alley", it's ten minutes of fun and three well interlaced songs. Sailin'' Shoes is a cover of the Little Feat original. Palmer later helped form the group The Power Station. RIP Mr. Palmer.
He also had an interesting start. I'd heard he book a recording studio to create demo tape cover of T-REX's "Bang-A-Gong". The engineer exhausted at the end of long day recording untalented singers; is blown away and calls a record producer. Insists the producer needs to rush over and sign this unknown artist quick. The Rest is History.
If you want to do some classic Robert Palmer, you have to do his Trilogy. It consists of three songs, "Sailin' Shoes," "Hey Julia" and "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley." Robert was a great singer, and unfortunately died of a heart attack at the age of 54 in 2003.
Gotta love Robert Palmer ... so much fun, and talent. :) One remembers the song and the words, the model dance simply follows ... sure makes you want to dance to his music!
Love this era of Robert Palmer. It is immediately "80s" sounding but also somehow unique to what else was out there. His greatest hits album is simply fantastic. And this look they did for several of his videos really had a huge impact. It's hard to overstate the impact music videos had at the time. They were a new force when MTV started and it was like a tidal wave to popular culture.
Robert Palmer was the king of '80's glam rock. We saw him at the Amnesty International show in Oakland in the early 80's. He closed with Addicted to Love - you guys gotta react to that one! The next act was a very young Tracy Chapman. Just Tracy and her acoustic guitar doing Fast Car. The contrast between the highly polished glam show of Palmer and that young lady alone of stage singing her heart out was amazing.
He did star in Pepsi commercials. But oh yes the song and others all over TV and radio. You can find all sorts of background on Robert Palmer and this music style. TV & movies used his music. Still miss the smokey eye shadow of the 80s.
Robert Palmer was great. Sneaking Sally Through The Alley is another great song with a very 70's vibe for something different...plus his time in the 80's supergroup Power Station (with members of Duran Duran) was excellent. A stylish and talented guy.
Here is a short history of this all time classic rock song. - "Simply Irresistible" is the first single released by English rock singer Robert Palmer from the 1988 studio album Heavy Nova. In 1988, the song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, being denied the top spot for two weeks by Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine."[1] It was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for three weeks.[2] It also earned Palmer his second Grammy Award the following year, and the song was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Single.[3]
RIP Robert Palmer. His best was Addicted to Love. Looking For Clues, Bad Case Of Loving You, Sneakin Sally Through The Alley, Every Kinda People, Mercy Mercy Me, She Makes My Day, Johnny and Mary, Can We Still Be Friends. He was in a side project called The Power Station with a few members of Duran Duran and did a song called Some Like It Hot.
Wow, wonderful reaction you guys! And maybe for the first time, Brad enjoyed a video without trying to look to its deeper meaning. Good ear Lex - this was in an Applebee's commercial.
This one definitely amped up the craziness of the Addicted To Love video. Robert Palmer had a couple hits on the Power Station album worth checking out: Some Like It Hot and the cover of Get It On (Bang A Gong).
Also, in 1985 he first thought of that concept of using manequins as 'background players' for the video of his single Addicted to Love. At the time it was something that has never been done yet such a simple idea that he inspired dozens of artists to immitate him. Most famously, the video for Shania Twain: Man! I feel like a woman where Twain reproduced the same setting as Palmer but switched the genders as she sang while male models behind her 'played' the instruments.
Robert was something,..and yess all these gorgeous women,..yeah to distract you from that most probably $10,000 suit he was wearing,..he wore some threads let me me tell you,..and what a crooner,..do listen to the whole Riptide album,..Robert could so croon,..what a voice,..talent abound,..do keep going,..glad to see you passing this to another family member,..a next younger generation,..thank you,...welcome young person,..Godspeed, Peace ✌
The movie, True Lies,... Really good Movie.... the Resemblance to the great Movie with Jamie Lee Curtis and (The Disgraced), Arnold Schwarzenegger. Jamie does the greatest dance dressed like these gals... gotta see it.
being a teen during the 80s was great, MTV really gave us something different to do, you was either out side playing or indoors watching MTV, there was no pause button so you had to watch it closely. .lol Robert Palmers MV are classic
One of my favorites is "I'll be your baby tonight" with UB40... just a great song to lounge, sip a little Malibu and Orange Juice, and remember simpler times..
He actually has one or two more songs with what my dear old friend, Bob used to call "the slinkies:! LOL But if you want to hear a GREAT song by him you'd have to go back a few years to the Hey Julia/Hey Julia/ Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley medley. Or at LEAST just Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley!
Addicted To Love features the same cast, then Ingrid Michaelson does her own video only using boys in the same scenario called Girls Chase Boys, it's pretty funny

That dance in the music video Simply Irresistible reminded me of Daft Punk's music video Harder, Stronger, Faster which has some similar dance moves
For what seems like obvious reasons, that was an all-time favorite on MTV back in the day when they actually played music videos.
This is like the sequel to Addicted To Love.Shania Twain did her version of a parody of it called 'Man,I Feel Like A Woman'
Robert Palmer had a great sense of humor and purposely affected those moves and gestures. I love him.

Bert's a very serious reactor.
Here is a short history of this all time classic rock song. - "Simply Irresistible" is the first single released by English rock singer Robert Palmer from the 1988 studio album Heavy Nova. In 1988, the song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, being denied the top spot for two weeks by Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine."[1] It was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for three weeks.[2] It also earned Palmer his second Grammy Award the following year, and the song was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Single.[3]
You guys are all over this. Nothing at all serious here; just such a hoot. Your laughs are contagious.
Robert Palmer is one of my favorite rock voices of all time.
Palmer was a class act. Dressed in a very nice suit doing music videos, pure class.
RIP Robert Palmer. His best was Addicted to Love.

He was in a side project called The Power Station with a few members of Duran Duran and did a song called Some Like It Hot.
Aww man I was a kid when saw this for the first time "look ma pretty ladies" 😂😂

Robert Palmer had a great voice. RIP
5:14 - Another of those moments when Brad's mind is blown by Lex's ability to predict the music. 👍

One the the most iconic music videos of the 80s.
Robert Palmer also had a band with a couple of the guys from Duran Duran, called ‘The Power Station’.
If you haven't seen the companion song to this one ADDICTED TO LOVE , it's another BANGER!🤣

Great tune! Great reaction guys! Robert Palmer was a smooth cat back in the day! ✌🏻
Mr palmer was the GQ of rock. Miss him🤘👍
Whenever I need to smile, I just put on one of your videos and Lex never fails to deliver!
He actually has one or two more songs with what my dear old friend, Bob used to call "the slinkies:! LOL But if you want to hear a GREAT song by him you'd have to go back a few years to the Hey Julia/Hey Julia/ Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley medley. Or at LEAST just Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley!
80s man. Love it!
Addicted To Love features the same cast, then Ingrid Michaelson does her own video only using boys in the same scenario called Girls Chase Boys, it's pretty funny
Best choreography ever!! Hilarious but cool at the same time :) do some more he had some great songs!!!
ROBERT PALMER: "Every Kind Of People" "Hey Hey Julia" "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" "Sailing Shoes"
I always have a Mile-Wide smile when I see this video. Song's great too!!
