Reminder, this video was not just great for the guys ... look at the other comments. Us ladies appreciated and adored Robert Palmer's voice, musicality, good looks and impeccable style! He definitely stood out. RIP!
He passed in 2003 - rest in peace Robert Palmer. You next need to watch Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel like a Woman!" - it references Palmer's video "Addicted to Love".
Great rocker from the past though he sang in many genres. Always fun to watch. "Addicted to Love" uses some of the same girls who never change their facial expressions. Don't know how they kept from cracking a smile or raising an eyebrow. It's just as much fun to watch. Thanks for reacting to this old gem from MTV when it was about the music.
The aesthetic at the time was based on the artist Nagel, whose poster art was of slick looking beautiful women. It started around the time of Duran Duran's song "Rio," and the Miami Vice TV show. Palmer's other big hit - "Addicted to Love" - features the same style of model aesthetic. (Just Google "Nagel" and you'll see samples of the poster art.) Robert Palmer was also part of the briefly popular superband Power Station. They had two big hits, "Some Like It Hot" and a notable cover of "Bang A Gong."
Oh Robert Palmer is great! He's got decades of hits & he's always dressed stylishly. Adding: My absolute favorite of his is: "Sailin' Shoes- Hey Julia- Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" which is really 3 kinda short songs that flow into each other on the album. Most reactors only do "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley"---but you really have to hear the trilogy as it was designed to be heard.
"She's so fine there's no telling where the money went" -- The video conceit with the fashion models proved so successful with "Addicted To Love" that he repeated it with "Simply Irresistible". Both songs were huge back in the eighties. When you're ready for more from Robert Palmer, check out "Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)", "Every Kinda People", "Fine Time", and "Sneakin' Sally Through The Alley" with a backing band featuring members of The Meters and Little Feat.
I sure miss Robert Palmer. So sad he's dead and gone. Try "Bad case of Loving you", "Addicted to love or "Looking for clues". Whatever he did sounded like Rnroll to me. RIP
Robert was a real talent . He did 3 videos with the ladies. He did many others. i got the chance to meet him and talk over a beer. He loved what he did and wanted to be considered an every day man. i can't believe he's been gone since 2003. Rest in Peace my friend.
Your reaction to the video! 😆 You looked like you were at a loss for words! Absolutely priceless. This was every teenage boys favorite video when it came out.
I always liked Robert Palmer. This one was really popular, especially the video (of course). "ADDICTED TO LOVE" was pretty popular, as well, but my personal favorite was "I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON" ua-cam.com/video/lyNa-ReeZc8/v-deo.html . Kind of a sensual, slower vibe -- what you might call a "neck kissin', slow dance" song. 🤪
I am so sorry that people make you feel a certain kind of way - it was the 80s, no one thought anything of it back then. I think it was just entertainment.
He was great!! You’ve got to react to Addicted to Love too! Left you speechless……almost 😅 Love your reaction. Those girls are also in the Addicted to Love video too 😍👍
In the early 70s Robert Palmer recorded a trilogy in New Orleans with local musicians. It’s Put On your Sailing Shoes, Hey Hey Julia, & Sneaking Sally Through the Alley. Each song slides into the next with some serious Funk going into the last part! Check it out!
Another thing that was irresistible to some people in the 80's was cocaine. At one time RP had quite a habit and if you listen to the song in that context, it makes a lot of sense. Don't know if there is a connection but he died of heart failure pretty young.
Going to my brother’s house during the 80s, Robert Palmer videos seemed to be on MTV all the time. I always stopped to watch it. My brother had cable. I did not have cable.
If you like this one, you love "Addicted to Love" too. Similar concept. In fact, the "Addicted to Love" music video came out first, and this video just built on the success of it and took it up a notch with more ladies.
Thin Skin is just such a waste of time and blood pressure. Robert Palmer was a huge presence on MTV which was a big big deal at the time. This and Addicted to love were massive hits on the radio. (and still are on classic stations)
Love your stuff, as far as trippin, You always seem to need to find a similar sound to compare to. No they are not like any others all of them are all their own, no need to find a compare! Keep up the good work!
It cracks me up that you would be accused of misogyny over finding attractive women... attractive 😮😂 Yet women who notice how Dwight Yoakum moves his hips... That's perfectly okay?😅 Whatever! I miss the seventies and eighties. People weren't so freaking sensitive and whiney. Physical attraction is part of being human. People need to accept reality. 🙄
Hello, Would please do a a reaction and review of : Michel'le Turn Off the Lights a song by World Class Wreckin' Cru featuring Michel'le , "Something in My Heart" and "Nicety" also by her. Also a reaction to Sister Sledge "Lost in Music" and" Reach Your Peak" Thank you.
While this might make you think it is unnerving to women...no way. In the day, women knew it was a pro woman song. The song is how a woman becomes the overpowering force in a man's life. She's simply irresistible
Men don’t apologize for being men. The woman who don’t like it can go scissor their girl friend and kick rocks! Woman do every damn thing men do. Remember, no one hates woman more than other woman. Calling you names to defend other woman is not something they do. It’s their own jealousy. You are attacked because you give other woman and not them attention. Also some woman just hate men and use other woman as an excuse to attack you. In the end anyone who complains isn’t worth listening to!
His other big hit of his is Addicted to Love. These songs were part of what defined the 80’s.
And sing for The Power Station
Reminder, this video was not just great for the guys ... look at the other comments. Us ladies appreciated and adored Robert Palmer's voice, musicality, good looks and impeccable style! He definitely stood out. RIP!
Remember when MTV meant music? Palmer was one of the favorites, because he made it to be.
Robert Palmer = Mr. Class! RIP
The girls look even better in "Addicted to Love".
Oh yes, Robert Palmer and the wonderful 80’s 😍
"Bad case of loving you" needs to be on your UA-cam and personal playlist from Mr. Palmer.
Had a huge crush on Robert Palmer back in the day.
He passed in 2003 - rest in peace Robert Palmer. You next need to watch Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel like a Woman!" - it references Palmer's video "Addicted to Love".

Oh loved this back in the 80's. Super popular with all back then. We appreciated beauty, talent and quality!

Good context - The whole vibe and fashion was Miami Vice during this phase
This song and video were super popular.
Ace, I'm enjoying these ladies also, they are gorgeous.❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

I’ll second that!
Request Robert Palmer "Addicted to Love"
Sneaking through the ally with Sally. Triple play.
Doctor Doctor also on this album

The synchronized dancing has always been super fun !
I sure miss Robert Palmer. So sad he's dead and gone. Try "Bad case of Loving you", "Addicted to love or "Looking for clues". Whatever he did sounded like Rnroll to me. RIP
When I saw the video you were reacting too I knew it would bring a smile to your face (and mine too)
He was such a sharp dresser. Smart dressed man!
You were doing a great Jim Carrey impression!
Robert was a real talent . He did 3 videos with the ladies. He did many others. i got the chance to meet him and talk over a beer. He loved what he did and wanted to be considered an every day man. i can't believe he's been gone since 2003. Rest in Peace my friend.

Don't forget him in The Power Station 👍 Get It On (Bang A Gong)
Golden age of music videos and MTV. Great song.
OH my....
The good old days....when people were happy and loved life.

Love Robert!!!
The weird thing is in the 80s this song was appreciation of women song. We weren't so sensitive back then. And Robert Palmer was pretty fine too.
My fave robert palmer song
I like!
RIP Robert Palmer, 1949-2003.
I had the Riptide album, this song, Addicted To Love and other great ones on it.
It was quite the attraction when it was released -
Check out his other video for Addicted To Love.
I am so sorry that people make you feel a certain kind of way - it was the 80s, no one thought anything of it back then. I think it was just entertainment.
He was great!! You’ve got to react to Addicted to Love too!
Left you speechless……almost 😅 Love your reaction.
Those girls are also in the Addicted to Love video too 😍👍
Robert Palmer was just so damn cool. Personally made $5000 Italian suits fashionable for Rock and Roll.
You’re probably getting Bowie vibe because he’s impeccable dressed and so classy, something Bowie was a star at presenting himself
This song scream 80s man 🤘🏻🎶
RIP Robert Palmer
LOL!
In the early 70s Robert Palmer recorded a trilogy in New Orleans with local musicians. It’s Put On your Sailing Shoes, Hey Hey Julia, & Sneaking Sally Through the Alley. Each song slides into the next with some serious Funk going into the last part! Check it out!
Yes, you will really enjoy Addicted To Love video, it's even better for you 😅
Another thing that was irresistible to some people in the 80's was cocaine. At one time RP had quite a habit and if you listen to the song in that context, it makes a lot of sense. Don't know if there is a connection but he died of heart failure pretty young.

😄😄😄😁 that was a fun reaction!
👍👍👏👏🎉🎉😊
Loved this song. Remember when it first came out when I was 17.
The women play the instruments in Addicted To Love
Gotta consider when this came out. Was abstract
If you like this one, you love "Addicted to Love" too. Similar concept. In fact, the "Addicted to Love" music video came out first, and this video just built on the success of it and took it up a notch with more ladies.
The style of this music video was a big deal. Inspired others decades later with the models in the background.
Shania Twain s song Man I Feel like a Woman has this same concept except she uses men whe did it to honor Robert
Omg you're hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
If you liked this one, listen to "Tuff Enuff" by The Fabulous Thunderbirds
The fun is it was meant to be over the top..
Thin Skin is just such a waste of time and blood pressure. Robert Palmer was a huge presence on MTV which was a big big deal at the time. This and Addicted to love were massive hits on the radio. (and still are on classic stations)
Love your stuff, as far as trippin, You always seem to need to find a similar sound to compare to. No they are not like any others all of them are all their own, no need to find a compare! Keep up the good work!
80's rule!!!!!!
Tha cut!
Now you have to watch Shania Twains video Man, I feel like a woman. Where the roles are reversed.
It cracks me up that you would be accused of misogyny over finding attractive women... attractive 😮😂
Yet women who notice how Dwight Yoakum moves his hips...
That's perfectly okay?😅
Whatever!
I miss the seventies and eighties. People weren't so freaking sensitive and whiney. Physical attraction is part of being human. People need to accept reality. 🙄
Your tripping. No Bowie vibes 😂 glad your enjoying back when us ladies were lean and mean 💯💥💋-♡Check out Addicted to Love video 💕
Hello, Would please do a a reaction and review of : Michel'le Turn Off the Lights a song by World Class Wreckin' Cru featuring Michel'le , "Something in My Heart" and "Nicety" also by her. Also a reaction to Sister Sledge "Lost in Music" and" Reach Your Peak" Thank you.
There's no telling where the money went.
Now keep this in mind and check out Shania Twain's "Fell like a Woman." I guarantee you will really laugh.
While this might make you think it is unnerving to women...no way. In the day, women knew it was a pro woman song. The song is how a woman becomes the overpowering force in a man's life. She's simply irresistible
What’s not to like????
I have never heard you say anything that would even remotely suggest that you are a misogynist😂
Now try Get It On (Bang A Gong) by Power Station (Robert Palmer's the singer) ua-cam.com/video/O2vHbXI2p4k/v-deo.html
LOL the women playing the guitar.... is fake... the girls are all models.
Men don’t apologize for being men. The woman who don’t like it can go scissor their girl friend and kick rocks! Woman do every damn thing men do. Remember, no one hates woman more than other woman.

All of these ladies are grandmother's now Robert is no longer with us
Good line for the Harris campaign's billion dollars.. "there's no telling where the money went."
