I was 19 years old in 1981. I was living in my car that year. I can remember this song playing on the radio when I was driving around looking for a place to park for the night where I wouldn't be run off by some security guard or be spotted by a coworker or someone else I knew. It really was a great song, but needless to say, for me it brings back memories of a very difficult time.
I can't even begin to explain the nostalgia and melancholy this song evokes. I was born at the end of the 80s but still feel such a connection to this time and sound.
It’s a great song that really works SO perfectly with her raspy, smoky voice…but I can’t stop looking and laughing at the drummer upstaging her the whole time in the back. He is like the Dad telling Dad jokes, just so into himself and unaware at the same time. Love it.
I was also 19 in 1981 but not living in my car. This song won "song of the year" in 1981. I remember watching the award show at my friends house when Kim Carnes won the award. It was the summer I spent working in a grocery store. I really miss those days.
Unreal. Kimmy Carnes was something! What a song. Loved going thru high school in the 80's. Can you imagine Davis' grandson saying the song made her cool. Would be cool to me if Davis had been my Granny song or not. How pure is New York snow?!
This song breaks my heart , I could only imagine in 1981 somewhere out there someone was heartbroken and sitting in a bar trying to pick up the pieces as this song played .
Un payaso de youtube español, segun el profesor de canto" decia que es una pésima cantante, pobres alumnos y ya entiendo por que la musica esta tan monótona y decadente, actualmente.
Was alive and well. Ahh, yes the summer of 1981!, remember it well. Reaganomics just barely starting, he got shot in March, survived. Double digit inflation, interest rates, unemployment still, but ended in a few years. 99¢ a gallon gasoline. I got the brand new album in March of 1981. Given to me for free in a promotion for her in Las Vegas Nevada. Signed by her at the Dunes hotel and country club casino. Great year, great time, great people, in a much different country then. A time never to return again.
9 weeks #1. 2 times Grammy winner. “Bette Davis Eyes” was written by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon. “Song Of The Year” and “Record Of The Year” (1981). #2 song of the 80’s. ❤️
1981... Bette Davis Eyes was the #1 song of the year. How ironic. The birth year of a co- worker. I let the co-worker know when they turned 40. I played a clip from All About Eve when Miss Davis (Margot Channing) complaining about turning 40. "Three months I turned 40. 4-0." This year I think I'll play again for them this year (2024) A few years older. But I will remind them anyways!
i used to work with a girl and one time this song came on and she said it was her favorite rod stewart song. that was in the 1990s and i still think of that when i hear this song.
Tengo 51 soy del 72 en el 81 tenía 9 años recuerdo la música la época como quisiera que volviera la gente era más feliz en esos tiempo todo era más bello😊 4:04
O My God So Very Good So i love Song Forever So Beutiful So Perfect Song So i love Kim Karnes Forever So i love Performance So Perfect Performance 🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍🔝💯💯🔝😌🕶️🧨💚🔥👀👀🇧🇷🇵🇷😍🔝🥶😇😆😅🙃 !!!
Yea he's doing a terrific job of faking it aint he ??? One tip off it's not live if you cannot tell, is that the song fades out instead of ending. Live performances always have an ending, not a fade-out.
Yea he's doing a really great job of faking it ain't he ?? The reason there are no comments about the drummer throwing down is because he is playing air drums. This is not live.

One of the best songs ever, still in Sept 2023
What a GREAT tune, that intro gets me every time.
One of the best songs ever!!!
Nothing like the original.
Absolutely beautiful - song is wonderful as well!
A truly 80's sound. My 80's music catalog won't be completed without this song. It still one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!
Me too 😩💕✌️🇦🇺🥂

Funny dudes so into it!
His idol was Animal from the Muppets!
Não tinha como ofuscar essa mulher, era muita beleza
That was head bobbing and thank god it was a short lived thing!

So many great memory’s come back listening to this tune
The best song EVER. Still my favorite number one 42 years later! And Kim is a sweetheart!
This song reached number 1 in TWENTY-ONE countries. That’s called a super hit.

Met her in 2023 at the Hardrock in FL, Love her!
I always thought this was Rod Stewart when I heard it on the radio
Fantastic song
Yeah Me too

Wonderful song by wonderful Kim Carnes.
thats a time machine back to when the music and the artists were Amazing , the teen years !!
I'm so glad Bette was alive when the song came out...❤
Not only that, her grandson was impressed that his grandma was the subject of a hit song.
Bette Davis was truly a singular piece of work.
I love the drummer
Craig Krampf.
TEMAZO, muy adelantado para su época.
Her voice......perfect for song.
Love this song..always will!❤
One of the most formidable songs from the eighties!! She never even came close to making something as Brilliant as this Showstopper!😄
Female Rod Stewart - awesome song, awesome singer!
Hermosa cancion y esa voz , se me congela la piel.

Amo essa canção, e ela tem uma voz única. Parabéns pra ela 👏👏👏👏👏
Espectacular Kim Carnes y su canción!!!. Desde Medellín Colombia, en septiembre de 2023, todavía hace parte fundamental de mis favoritas

I love her female rod Stewart voice
Great 👍 Video and Song 🎵
Amo esa canción.. qué voz porfavor 👏💕🥰
Linda amo diva maravilhosa e infinitos adjetivos maravilhosos amo Kim
Greatest Super HIT all the time FOREVER ! ! !
If you were alive back then, it was an absolutely perfect song. Hard to explain why it was so perfect. But it was.
Perfect twilight with glittering city night light uh.
Yes hard tô explain.....yes

@@truelies3690 Amen
O cara que fez o arranjo do teclado é um gênio! Quando inicia os primeiros toques já anunciando que é Bete Davis na voz de rouca de Kim Karnes.
Amazing ! Singing same song all her life !
Que voz tan hermosa de esta mujer
9 weeks #1. 2 times Grammy winner. “Bette Davis Eyes” was written by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon. “Song Of The Year” and “Record Of The Year” (1981). #2 song of the 80’s. ❤️
According to Sirius XM top 500 songs from the 80’s this is number 2 as well. #1? Let’s get physical. UGH
Grammy winning Record of the Year. A classic by a great artist.
En esa época yo tenia 15 años y todavía parece cuando escuché este tema aqui en México fue un mega hit
BRAVO ME AMIGO,DESDE DE BRASIL!!!
OH YES SUMMER OF 1981 !! EVERYONE WAS DANCING !!
Kim Karnes, inigualável!!! Antológica!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Que voz linda música de qualidade o saudade
BEAUTIFULL
Só dava essa música em 1981. Clássico dos clássicos...
Brings back both Good and Bad Memories ..
But still a Great Song ..
The drummer is really into it 🤘 even though it's playback.
Love her voice it's perfect for the song, or the song is perfect because of her voice 🤔
The drummer is the only one producing audio at the time this was filmed.
Give me a thumbs up if you're sick of VRBO ads. Love Kim Carnes. One of the great songs of the '80s.
Perfect song! Love Kim Carnes and of course, Bette Davis! ❤❤❤
Classic! Thanks. Great voice.
Extraordinaria Cantante Que Marco Mi Juventud....😊

It's hard to put into words how much I dislike comments like these.
GRAZIE MILLE PER IL PENSIERO MA COMUNQUE ANDAVA BENE LO STESSO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Para mi es mi cantante favorita la llevare en mi corazon💘💘💘💘💘
I am disappointed to not find any comments about the drummer!! 😂 Wow he's really throwing down!!!
Yea he's doing a terrific job of faking it aint he ??? One tip off it's not live if you cannot tell, is that the song fades out instead of ending. Live performances always have an ending, not a fade-out.
He played on the track and also played on a bazillion other hits. Still gigs and he is phenomenal.
@@fastguned ACCURATE COMMENT!
Yea he's doing a really great job of faking it ain't he ?? The reason there are no comments about the drummer throwing down is because he is playing air drums. This is not live.

Her voice sounds so perfect here I actually wondered if it was lip synced.
It wasn't.
