TOTALLY AGREE. It's like God Himself ordained all those talented and creative artists to suddenly start composing and recording all those fabulous songs at the same time. As the saying goes, it was "an embarrassment of riches".
My mum (0:25 in the red dress) unfortunately passed away in September due to cancer, but it brings me a lot of happiness to be able to watch her through this video whenever I need a pick me up. I love this song ❤
I'm 56 and really have realised how privileged I was to hit the 80's as a teenager and leave the 80's as adult. Wasn't grown up enough to realise how special it was at the time
We are so lucky to have been a part of the 80’s the best time to be a teen, best music, fashion. My new single out late 2024 features ABC Band drummer Richard Brook. It’s 80’s soulful pop inspired by ABC.
Honestly, the video is campy as heck & the song is beginning to show its age but it's unbeatable for nostalgia value & with a few technical changes with today's technology it could be made into a very acceptable contemporary tune.
THIS WAS ALWAYS MY FAV FROM ABC, MY LORD, I REMEMBER POISON ARROW VIDEO CONSTANTLY ON MTV, THE REAL MTV, IN A YEAR I WILL BE 50 YEARS OLD, WHERE DID IT ALL THE TIME GO? I MISS THE '80S, I MISS THAT TIME, I MISS THAT WORLD, THIS WORLD TODAY IS NOT MY WORLD, THE WORLD I KNEW AND GREW UP IN IS GONE, MAKES ME SAD 😥
Just think when I was 18 back in 2000 less than half of my peers actually owned a mobile phone and those that did mostly had a basic function Sony Ericsson????
I`m also 51. Had this song on cassette in my walkman in '82 among Words F.R.David, Abracadabra Steve Miller, I know whats..Frida, Don't go Yazoo, C'mon Eileen Dexys, Avalon Roxy Music....aso on High Life LP. Loooved it so much. Was an epic album. Don' t know if it still exists, sadly.🥲 Haven't seen it 4 a long time.
i renemba this song and video by abc on frida night video's on ch 4 nbc i was in elementary school all through tha 80's loooove 80's safe time great music and t.v show's to
The Look of Love by ABC is a perfect example of music in the 80's, whatever you wanted you could find from soft to hard or slow to fast we had it all! If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 90's with all the golden classic movies, music and concerts, YOU were blessed!
90s were pretty magical too for all kinds of music - Electronica/Dance, Trance, Techno etc, Gangsta Rap & Hip-Hop, Heavy Metal and its more underground sub-genres especially Black/Death, R & B, even Country 🎶
One of the biggest hits of the 80s. And it will probably be a hit forever. ABC's debut album is almost 100 percent hits. Incredible. Many bands can only do this with a greatest hits album.
It's near impossible not to have a smile on your face, as this song is playing. It's one of those great 80's songs, that just sticks with you for some reason. I remember when this first came out. And I still enjoy it today. Great vocals and a wonderful orchestral background. The 80's were such a better time. You just had such optimism for the present, and for the future. It wasn't perfect of course, nothing ever is. But all in all, it was 1000X's better than now for sure.
@@smith0779 That's true of any era. We always think that the past is a bit better than it is now. Unfortunately, it's the truth. For the most part, things were better than they are now. We were more optimistic for our present and the future, than we are today. Hopefully that'll change. Peace to you too.
@@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus Yes I agree!! I am so grateful I wasn't born a 100 years ago and forced to fight in the Great war. Things are getting worse because the majority of people don't care. Take care , continue to be nice and you will have no worries, God bless X
I'm 24 years old and I've been listening to "old" music for the past 3 years now, and i just find it funny how I'm constantly finding new jewels even though nothing is new. This one is definitely one of my favorite findings!
@@GuyCybershy tru dat. once in a lifetime, pop goes the world, just like heaven or close to me or in between days, buffalo stance, into the groove, don't change, pump up the volume, shock the monkey, more than this, wishing well or sign your name, nite and day (al b. sure} , word up, love my way, love is a stranger, sign of the times, as well as look of love or poison arrow or how to be a millionaire, once in a while 80s radio will throw us a bone but there is so much greatness they hardly play. at least the 80s radio i get. so much cheese. how about silent morning by noel or show me by the cover girls for a change? sometimes i'll hear life in a northern town but not often enough. da da da by trio? never. mary's prayer. mary's prayer! i still believe by the call or blood and roses by the smithereens! i got you by split enz and rhythm of the night by debarge. the freaks come out at night. iv'e never heard the freaks come out at night on 80s radio, not since the 80s, anyway. for shame! i never hear the time. the bird, jungle love, gigolos get lonely too. pebbles, lisa lisa and cult jam featuring full force, the belle of st. mark by sheila e. 80s radio, did you forget the belle of st. mark? when was the last time you played shake you down? do you not have sending all my love by linear or bring on the dancing horses by echo and the bunnymen? yes, there was a band called echo and the bunnymen in the 80s. i love the police and billy idol but enough with every breath you take and white wedding. i also love sweet dreams (are made of this) but play when tomorrow comes or at least there must be an angel (playing with my heart), for the sake of humanity. put a little love in your heart, annie lennox and al green. just play it! anyway, that's my rant. that's my 80s playlist. george michael had other songs than just faith or wake me up before you go-go. a different corner! where did your heart go? so sublime! play kissing a fool, for once. whisper to a scream (birds fly). going back to cali, round the way girl. remember ll cool j, radio? i'ma quit now.
@@sluggboy Sade, Elvis Costello, Haircut 100, The Jam, Madness, Police, Depeche Mode, Culture Club, The Communards, The Clash, Nina Hagen, Toyah, Dexys Midnight Runners… how many parties with my fellows of these days… so nice memories…
I remember first time seeing this video on MTV back in the 80s, what an amazing music, video and feeling. MTV actually used to show music videos as intended, not the BS that they show now. What an amazing time period in music and in general, entertainment was the best and memories we built are amazing. Still nostalgic when I hear this music and music from the 80s.
“Sisters and brothers should help each other.” Truer words have never been said. I married a woman who is my equal and best friend. It’s been magical for almost two decades.
George Shepherd, same here. I miss the '80s too, especially all the fantastic pop music and all the fabulous pop groups including ABC. I'd love to be transported back to this time too, this is the time when such awesome pop groups like Duran Duran and ABC truly ruled.
Think of the '80s and all the songs you've ever listen to and all of your memories, your friend in high school, and everything you've missed as the future and you are going toward it and it hasn't happened yet. and you'll feel much better and much younger.
Denise White, same here. I miss the '80s too, I was only 8 when this song came out and this music video came out with the song, and I've loved them both ever since.
Those in the truth movement today are so fond of saying that this is a greatest time to be alive as we witness the great awakening, but I’d happily trade the rest of my life for a chance to relive the 80s. Now those were truly magical times. Who agrees?
This was the first music video I saw when MTV debuted back in '81. It's kooky, but upbeat and everyone in this video seems to be having a blast. The simplicity of the stage is also refreshing, unlike today's overblown productions.
ABC were part of the New Romantic era of music where music and fashion merged. It was almost like a 2nd British invasion: Duran Duran, Culture Club, ABC, Kajagoogoo., Human League, Spandau Ballet. Loved every one of em. This was a great time I'll never forget. MTV launces 1981. What a time it was .....miss it
"I don't know the answer to that question, if I knew I would tell you". Reminds me little bit of David Bowie's voice. End of the song reminds me a bit of Pet Shop Boys. I love this song, it spreads happiness!
Thanks my friend, it's good we share the same passion for the good music. I wish you a wonderful day. If you like norwgian nature and funny short films, check out my channel. I found Bahrain on the map now. I been in Abu Dhabi on my way to Philippines and back. I traveled with Qatar Airways. It's rated as the best airways in the world. I traveled 5 times to Philippines, cause I have family there. With lot of love from Norway.
He he I was going to comment the exact same thing, then I see I did it 3 months ago :-) This song always makes me happy! Great song, and the video is rather good too. The return to the 80's is like walking back to happiness :-)
I was 17 when this song was released in 1982. Although the video is silly (most 80s videos were silly), this song was an absolute masterpiece in its day. It's still a work of art. After all these decades, I still listen to ABC. Reminds me so much of my college years, the 1980s.
I just turned 54 today and I still love this music ...Big part of my life!!....I use to throw big underground warehouse parties back in the 80's in Los Angeles and this was the music we played!!!...New wave dance craze back then!!....Miss it!!!😪...D.
If I had known how magical the 80s were when I was in them I would have embraced it more. Now I can never go back to those days but the memories live on in the wonderful music.
M and R Davidson Nowadays shit music from Kanye West. However we do have Adele. Just miss music, but now it is often hip hop, and none of the artist know about instruments because their music are just tracks from the computer or they don't know that music should also be uplifting.
For those of us that lived in the 80s, like myself, I don't think we completely understood how lucky we were to be alive, during the 80s decade. It was difficult to fully appreciate what we were experiencing, until several decades later. That's my thought. Yes, if I could time travel, I would definitely want to return to the 1980s.
I was born in 82 and I'm so thankful I got to love my childhood days during the 80's and 90's. I feel so blessed but at the same time so sad that I can't go back. I wish I had appreciated those times more.
How could I not like this? It's generational, Stephen. I preferred loud thumping rock from a powerful home or car stereo that a guy could toke up and bang his Betty to. This sort of music dripping out of my cheap $5 speaker in my 19" Hitachi TV made me think the next generation was "Light in their Sperry Top-Siders."
Martin was the man back in the day . Great singer with some major swag. That bass hook and strings are pure 80's pop perfection. Love the vocal break with ..they say Marty maybe one day you'll find find true love...ahhh say maybe
Oh I wish I could’ve grown up throughout this incredible decade. Tracks like this really embody just how inventive and fresh the music was. This is timeless
I was cleaning out my closet and found my bag of (45) records and this song was among them. Good tunes and great times of the 80’s. Yes I’m old and generation X.
With all the crap that is going on in the states right now, I have to listen to the songs I grew up with from the 60s, 70s and 80s to keep me grounded.
It's 1982, I'm 15 & watching MTV.
You have to love how UA-cam is the closest thing to a time machine ❤
Me, too!
Facts!
💯 😊😊
I 🤔 was a shy skinny 16 yr old in '82, miss those beautiful youthful days living in Bliss never knowing we'd 🔚 up in a pile of.. !!!
I'm 77 and still watching MTV in 2024. Still working on my ABC's.
Man the 80's gave us the best and most unforgettable songs of our lives. Did they not? Agree or disagree?
Thos song is orgasmic
Agree👍
I agree the 80s was the best
Absolutely, positively yes!!! I have lived through the 80s as a youngster and witnessed all the great music of the era.
TOTALLY AGREE. It's like God Himself ordained all those talented and creative artists to suddenly start composing and recording all those fabulous songs at the same time. As the saying goes, it was "an embarrassment of riches".
One of the greatest 80s tracks of all time
Amen
Absolutely correct
I agree with you on that

Ah, the 80s! Such memories.
My mum (0:25 in the red dress) unfortunately passed away in September due to cancer, but it brings me a lot of happiness to be able to watch her through this video whenever I need a pick me up. I love this song ❤
I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom was so lucky!!! Thats so cool. God Bless your Mom and you sweetheart
Blessings to your mom .
Sorry for your loss. Glad you have happy memories of her.

take me with you im 67 on Sunday where did the time go
I just turn 56 in 12/18/24 love the 1980s we had so much fun..I feel sorry for the young people today. They have no freedom 😂😂😂
This song is exactly 40 years and one day old. It's still as fresh as the first day.
Better than most of today's music-productions
Honestly, the video is campy as heck & the song is beginning to show its age but it's unbeatable for nostalgia value & with a few technical changes with today's technology it could be made into a very acceptable contemporary tune.
ABC Was One Of The Top Bands Of The 80's. Great Great Song.
Real music don 't exist anymore.
For sure bud
Myślami jestem w tamtych czasach kiedy byliśmy tacy wolni🤗🤗

I fist saw this in high school. I never thought I would ever watch music videos on a phone in the palm of my hand. Crazy how far we've come.
I know...it’s absolutely crazy. I’m so sorry my parents aren’t around to see technology

Sure. I love the album, all the songs are great, I bought it when it was released, and remains one of my favorites 40 years after
I had this on cassette I would drive and never fast forward it.
He had the "Look"!
Amen to that 👌🏼
I think this is one of the best ever pop song 🎶🎶
You're right, it's a song with a feeling and its melody accompanies you and brightens your day.

64 on Dec 1. Only a # 80s music was the greatest. Screw the cellphone
One of the biggest hits of the 80s. And it will probably be a hit forever. ABC's debut album is almost 100 percent hits. Incredible. Many bands can only do this with a greatest hits album.

@@smith0779 That's true of any era. We always think that the past is a bit better than it is now. Unfortunately, it's the truth. For the most part, things were better than they are now.

As a '60s teenager, you're right. I've always felt the '80s is enormously unappreciated.

Nothing ever ever will beat out the 80's music!! Simply the best.
Michael Troutman and David Rodriguez, I fully agree with both your comments. The '80s pop music is simply the best by far.
Totally Agree!!

The 90's: Hold my Beer.
Definitely better than the nineties!
Dear God, I absolutely love his voice. One of the best! 💚💚💚
This song has bought me an incalculable amount of joy since over the years since the 80's. Thank you🙏
Ahh the 80’s….we had the best music, coolest cars and the prettiest women. What a time to grow up in
I was 16 when ABC released this song and it's still one of my favorites. What a decade the 80's....
God,I not sure..love you ❤
A classic
I'm 53: and I'm still here listening to the best music ever
Oh , I'm 57 ............maybe too old ?
I was 20 and still love ABC!
I'm 56 and still like this song!
I do to and I am 65.
1984 was a happy year for me. Miss certain things now.
Lesson on life......never settle for second best!
I was 10 when this came out in '82 and I'm 52 now. Life was so much better in the 1980's than today.
I guess I'm lucky... I've lived through the music of the 60's,70's and 80's. Not much can compare to those decades, the best of the best.
Me too. Awesome music
This was the first music video I saw when MTV debuted back in '81. It's kooky, but upbeat and everyone in this video seems to be having a blast. The simplicity of the stage is also refreshing, unlike today's overblown productions.
And hey: there's one man in this music video who actually was in the first music video EVER AIRED on MTV. (1981)
@@PhilStrohhamster who?
@@TheKeeeks97 Trevor Horn from The Buggles.
@@PhilStrohhamster Thanks!
Agreed .. agreed .. agreed !!!!
I'm 62 and have heard a lot of music and seen a lot of videos. Nothing like the 80's! I love it!
Everything was new and fresh. So much variety everywhere you looked. It had something for everyone.
smhmay1973 you bet
smhmay1973 that was very rude and nasty
I thought seventies were better xxxx
@The Bibliognost I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!! THE 60s 70s 80s were the BEST!!!!.
This song takes me right back to being a teenager. Love it. Year 1982
I graduated 1985. Did a pom pom routine to this song. Loved ever since!
💚
Soul of the 80's
You have to remember that for us 80's kids, there was nothing before MTV! Then all the sudden we had these crazy videos! It was great!
Exactly!!
You mean these AWESOME videos
and we have the monkees to thank for that (well, mike anyway)
We would have never had a second British invasion without MTV. I'm 56, and I loved it!!
@@scotabot7826 That's the truth!
This song is so modern for 1982, it's still awesome in 2016. I fucking love it.
Schnipp08 2017 also
Well put.
@@mv9787 2018
It is a bop still
2021 too !
My son and brother walked me up the aisle to this song at my wedding nine years ago. One of my all time favourites.
ABC were part of the New Romantic era of music where music and fashion merged. It was almost like a 2nd British invasion: Duran Duran, Culture Club, ABC, Kajagoogoo., Human League, Spandau Ballet. Loved every one of em. This was a great time I'll never forget. MTV launces 1981. What a time it was .....miss it
"I don't know the answer to that question, if I knew I would tell you". Reminds me little bit of David Bowie's voice. End of the song reminds me a bit of Pet Shop Boys. I love this song, it spreads happiness!
exactly!!! exactly!!! I totally agree with you bro I also felt I was listening to petshop boys specially from this min 2:39 to 2:57. love from Bahrain
Thanks my friend, it's good we share the same passion for the good music. I wish you a wonderful day. If you like norwgian nature and funny short films, check out my channel. I found Bahrain on the map now. I been in Abu Dhabi on my way to Philippines and back. I traveled with Qatar Airways. It's rated as the best airways in the world. I traveled 5 times to Philippines, cause I have family there. With lot of love from Norway.
He he I was going to comment the exact same thing, then I see I did it 3 months ago :-) This song always makes me happy! Great song, and the video is rather good too. The return to the 80's is like walking back to happiness :-)
I’m 20 and Still loving this radical tune... absolutely jumping around to this masterpiece (Edit)
I was 17 when this song was released in 1982. Although the video is silly (most 80s videos were silly), this song was an absolute masterpiece in its day. It's still a work of art. After all these decades, I still listen to ABC. Reminds me so much of my college years, the 1980s.
I wasn't even alive then but I remember it when I was a kid. Appreciate it more now 🎶"the look of love.."🎶🎹
There is hope for your generation! The '80s had lots of cool music. Hope you discover more!
[GG]Ez ..I remember 1983 driving my 2002 , w a stereo beyond belief ....The Lexicon of Love ....great times
You have great taste in music buddy!!!
I just turned 54 today and I still love this music ...Big part of my life!!....I use to throw big underground warehouse parties back in the 80's in Los Angeles and this was the music we played!!!...New wave dance craze back then!!....Miss it!!!😪...D.
@Max Moss lol...thnx Max!...D.
What were the best tunes back then? The ones that got the best reactions in this genre and others??
Im 19 years old but I love your generation of music 😆
KROQ was the rock of the 80s 😎
Lots of good memories 1980 to 84.
@@PhilAVega KROQ!!!...That's right!!...Just took me back!😎...D.
Para mi gran amigo Javier el maloven un temazo para el de su gran colega
If I had known how magical the 80s were when I was in them I would have embraced it more. Now I can never go back to those days but the memories live on in the wonderful music.
For sure! If there was a "nexus" I'd want to put myself in the 80s and stay there!
M and R Davidson Nowadays shit music from Kanye West. However we do have Adele. Just miss music, but now it is often hip hop, and none of the artist know about instruments because their music are just tracks from the computer or they don't know that music should also be uplifting.
For those of us that lived in the 80s, like myself, I don't think we completely understood how lucky we were to be alive, during the 80s decade. It was difficult to fully appreciate what we were experiencing, until several decades later. That's my thought. Yes, if I could time travel, I would definitely want to return to the 1980s.
I was born in 82 and I'm so thankful I got to love my childhood days during the 80's and 90's. I feel so blessed but at the same time so sad that I can't go back. I wish I had appreciated those times more.
I turned 10 in 1982. The 80s decade was really building momentum in 1982. Now that I'm able to look back. Miss the 80s so much!
'sisters and brothers, should help each other' pulls on my heartstrings
mine also!
One of the greatest songs ever
This song truly was great in the80s ..
This is the sound of good moving and get down music. How could you not like this?
My mother was born in the 70's , I'm glad she can show me song like this . I'm 14 year old
How could I not like this? It's generational, Stephen. I preferred loud thumping rock from a powerful home or car stereo that a guy could toke up and bang his Betty to. This sort of music dripping out of my cheap $5 speaker in my 19" Hitachi TV made me think the next generation was "Light in their Sperry Top-Siders."
@@IMCcanTWEESTED Exactly well said 🤚
80's...years of progress and happiness!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I was lucky enough to see ABC live in Manchester tonight, they did this twice and the crowd went wild. A fantastic song!
I'm jealous!
@@icesk8880 Hes lying all the members hate Martin Abc is him on his own now I was at a 80s festival last year?.
@@dominic6018 It was just Martin and obviously backing singers and a band, but yes, no other ABC members were there
Hes lying, hes lying, wow! dominic 6123something, does it matter? It said ABC on the marquee correct.
dominic6018 why do they all hate the lead singer?
So many great tunes in a time that was simply unbelievable.
As someone from Sheffield produced some awesome groups in the 80s what a classic.
いつ聞いてもマーティン先生は良い声や〜
Martin was the man back in the day . Great singer with some major swag. That bass hook and strings are pure 80's pop perfection. Love the vocal break with ..they say Marty maybe one day you'll find find true love...ahhh say maybe
Shane Anthony I
His name is Marlon...
Lovely so lovely Shane Anthony writing this lettter!!
He's been married for 33 years.
No, it's Martin. Martin Fry. He was born in 1958, so he was very young in this video!
Oh I wish I could’ve grown up throughout this incredible decade. Tracks like this really embody just how inventive and fresh the music was. This is timeless
They were fun wonderful days for sure...we had so much fun
Well, you can at least live in the '80's vicariously by enjoying all those songs from then on YT!!!
I lived it, I clubbed it, greatest music ever, tons of nice girls, ...
where is that time machine ??
I grew up then. I was unbelievably spoiled. I had no idea at the time how special it was.
I went through my teenage years in the 80's. Fantastic time to be alive.
Beautiful song that never gets old.
Oh my god ! miss the 80's so much !
I was cleaning out my closet and found my bag of (45) records and this song was among them. Good tunes and great times of the 80’s. Yes I’m old and generation X.
yeah
With all the crap that is going on in the states right now, I have to listen to the songs I grew up with from the 60s, 70s and 80s to keep me grounded.
Yes, they told of happier days.
Amen ! I feel like Music is Fresh Air for the Soul ! Teaching my gran babes about this!! Dance in spite of the rants
Martin Frys voice....so good!!!
I’m in my 50s now and this is the happiest song I’ve ever heard....have always loved it!!
Me tool lm 50 lm still there
53 for me, my best years, music is magic for remembering that time
52 and Agreed...this and Walking on Sunshine ☀️....
There is nothing more 80s than this video.
Love your Name. Jingle heimer Schmidt. It's My name Too
I'm 54 and yes I loved the music from the 80's:)
Then you haven't yet seen "Catch Me I'm Falling" by Real Life yet. - ua-cam.com/video/OeysVlyC_us/v-deo.html
no one wants to see it
Try Dexies Midnight Runners, or Bananarama, or Men Without Hats... :)
Yep, - The Brit Pop music of the 80’s and 90’s were some good music.. Gotta Love ❤️
Yes ma'am it was
The moment you are recognizing you are one of the best looking guys of the 80s.
Sisters and brothers should help each other! The 80s had a message to their music!!
I like to sing this at my kids when they fight 😂
Heavens above!
Yaaas. And then move their feet to the beat in unison.
The 80's...pure fun!
the best times
That British accent turn me on and on..
The 80’s is UNMATCHED 😭❤️🔥💯💯💯
Yes sir
😳
I spent a lot of time in the 80s. They were pretty cool.
Unbelievable singing, his golden voice can put a smile on anyone's face. Amazingly happy song.🌟💙💙💙🌟
Can you imagine to be 20 in the 80's?That's what happened to me and my generation.Great times!
Good for you.
I was 21 in 1980. Loved all the songs, but the 80s music style started in 1978 and ended in 1989.
@@davefranklyn7730 Hi, Dave.
I think the style ended in 1991.
( maybe in 1993).
I had The Lexicon Of Love LP by ABC in the early '80s. This group is legendary.
I'll dance to this any day
I love ABC. They are fantastic and damn that bass is killing it. Martin's vocals are mesmerizing.
Abso right. The thumping bass in LoL and Smokey kills.
Amazing reaction Victoria !!♡
Complety
Truee!
Criminally underrated.
I loved how these artists acted characters in their videos. 80’s had that that quirky and eccentric look! Classic tunes.
80 was awesome unforget
