Freeez were a British band who had a previous UK hit with 'Southern Freeez'. Created in New York with Arthur Baker, John Robie and Jellybean Benitez (before their work with New Order) this was one of the first electro dance hits to highlight the street-scene happening in the New York boroughs. It has remained an influential track that's often sampled and all the original mixes were re-issued in 2011.

No one can tell me culture has improved…. 70s, 80s, 90s were pinnacle! ❤
If I build a time machine... which of you would like to go back to the 80s with me?
Seeing the LPs and the cassettes...and this song...fills my heart with great nostalgia...we were happy in the 80s...and we didn't know it!
Total mente de acuerdo.
Well said
the Jam
I'm right with you generation x🎉🎉
Me me me me
Classic British 🇬🇧 early 80s classic 🤗
How come we have rag all in the 80s ..no social media, Internet, Amazon, Netflix, mobile phones and yet we had a blast ...I would go back in a heartbeat..its pretty pants in 2024
I feel ya 😂
So good to hear this again. 1983 was a fantastic year.
🖐👍😊
14 ans en 1983 et j'adorais déjâ ce tube
🥰🥰🥰
Yes, the year where i’m born but this song from 1984.
🇫🇷
This song was often played at radio 1984 .
Guitar keyboards.
Boom box ghetto blasters.
Hip hop break dancing.
Headbands that were sunglasses.
Digital watches.
....
I loved living in the 80s!!!!
Almost 40 years later, and i still LOVE it...
OK, we call Doc Brown and entering the Time - Machine.. ehh😉
I simply love listening the songs of the Disco genre. They are so "dancy" and melodious.
Btw, I learned the Vowels - AEIOU - through this song. 🤣
@@rajupatnaik7776 Disco? LOL.
@@pm2886 , why "LOL"? Pls explain.
June 17 1983.
Anyone else is going through all their favorite jams thinking about how life was back in the days ? Tell me I'm not the only one ✌🏼️
I was born in the 2000s. Recently I bought my first car made in 1989 and I like to listen to this music of its era while I drive it. Makes me wonder how much my car would have to tell if it could speak! Where did it drive to? Who drove it there? How many babies were made in your back seat? Needless to say after I pressure wash those seats, I'm keeping it forever
Just listened to Vienna by Ultravox. What a tune.
Of course you're not..right back to school dayzzzzze...love my 80's even though I'm a 60/70's rocker at heart
Funkmaster I am def o I'm 50 and crazy as hell thinking of my first love Chris
@@moelester7971 sounds good
BMX, ghetto blasters, and robotics, magic memories of those times!
Because NOTHING beat the 80s baby
I miss the 80s. Listening to this brings back the feeling. The nostalgia is almost overwhelming 🥰
still a banger 40 years later
The best years and we didnt even know it. Sad.
True
how true that is...
All colors enjoying the music together.
I could not agree any more...
a h I was there and you are absolutely right! 💯😄
Summer 1983 - I was 20 and it was my first holiday without my parents. Lad's holiday to Benidorm with my two best mates. This tune was blasting out of all the bars and clubs. Fond memories.
Thank you for sharing !
This isn't the 1983 version, this is the 1987 re-mix. The video is the same for both, but the sound is different. This is the 1983 version: ua-cam.com/video/y7ab3PSbvvU/v-deo.html
@@sarahaldaman5663 yeah, i love this 80th vibe while lisitening to this too
I also was 20 back then 🤣🤣🤣
@@winstonbeckford785 A child of the 60's like me then. Take care mate.
80’s was the era with the best music and artists ever!!!
That's a bonafide fact.
Man it was such a privilege to be alive and in the prime of my life during the 8o's! So many fond memories. And the music of that era was mesmerizing and is still unmatched even to this day!
I never seen the video until now after 40 years. I would never thought that it was 2 white guy s
I agree with you a hundred percent
@@josephbennett934 Probably wasn't. Look up the Milli Vanilli scandal. In the 80s the music industry was getting other people to sing the songs and then getting these "artists" to pretend to be the ones who were singing it. Eventually the truth came out!
@@TonyMontana33452 The video shows Jonny Rocca who wrote and performed the music and was the brainchild behind freeze. Also did some house / garage music during the late eighties and early nineties rave scene.
still total fan in March 2024
This was on heavy rotation on NY Hot Tracks back in the day!
After all these years this song still slaps!!!
@@yansatoussaint2266 Yes it does
@Tonja E. Withers - Gurl yes! I can hear it now. Sitting there with the cassette player trying to record the song and then all of a sudden before it ends the DJ cuts in, “98.7 kiss FM....” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And now you gotta wait for it to come back on and try again!
Beat street
Which day was that
I’m 51 and have two mint BMX bikes from the 80’s just like these. They are carpet queens and haven’t seen the pavement for decades. All of a sudden, just for a brief moment, I’m 14 again 😎
Did you have a BMX back then? My family couldn't afford expensive trainers back then. So now that I can as an old(er) man, I've got a massive collection of 100 pairs that I just look at but never wear. I'm sure it's because it was an itch I couldn't scratch as a 13/14 year old in the early 80's. So I'm wondering if it was the same for you with BMX bikes?
I had 2 BMX's, one was the 2nd most expensive bike in the shop at the time - £111. 😂😂😂 The second I built up from F&F set and cost £300, a lot of money for a bike in 84.
I still have my bikes, still unridden.
@@cerealkiller4248 Blimey, my old man would have a coronary if I'd asked him to pay even £111 for something for me back then. My mum had to threaten to divorce him unless he paid £45 for a Fila tracksuit top for me for Christmas. Then she said he'd asked the bloke in the shop where they bought it: "have they made this out of gold thread or something?"
This song is still banging all these years later
40th anniversary to this forgotten song of the 80's 😊
80s are second to none when it comes to music!!
Still got the 12" vinyl in shed....I'm 51 now😅...amazing tune❤
Nice me 54 yes time flies but yes still love this song and listen almost exclusively to 80's pop but that was my time in music take care.
Me too
My high school days were surrounded by this and other classic house songs….
Those 12 D cell batteries and cassette tapes killed my pocket money back then.
I thought putting them in the sun recharged them... Lol
00000
00000
@Miles A ...or putting them in the FREEEZEr (pun intended)! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Because no one could tell me back then that this didn’t keep my D batteries charged!
Geez and I bet those 12 D cells would not have lasted long with the volume cranked up especially if they were just the old school Zinc carbon or what ever they were. Alkaline would have been better but lots more money to buy. My piddly little 4 C cell boom box was heavy on batteries so i just used it on the mains.
Have the 80s close to my heart I was 7 years old in 1983 and fond memories of break dance everybody was doing it in schools and on the playground where I lived
YES even here in Sweden 🇸🇪
Good times to be a kid
I’m 45 now , was 10 when this song came out !! I hate getting old
Hate it too
Me too
Who the hell likes it?!?
I'm 53, deal with it....
Yes it's depressing
God I miss the 80s. The innocence and cheesiness of our songs. Haha
We're not Boomers. We appreciate the past, but live in the current year. For Boomers the 60s never ended.
nothing cheesey this sounds extremely elaborated compared to tadays crap....
Arenal, mallorca, 1983....👍🏽 Great times....
No cheese here ,this is pure quality, breakers and poppers loved this.
Lol here in california the 1980s and 1990s were the most violent and gang infested alot of teens lost their lifes to gang violence in the attitude era.
This song was ringing out in Brooklyn, NY. The summer of the 80s... Good times. I miss them!
throughout the west wonder if it was played in non western countries too
BEST time's ever 79 to 93 ,listening to this on my Sony walkman riding my BMX, BEST TIME EVER.
I couldn't agree more!
93 !! Bit late in the day, this is early 80's BMX bikes were long gone by 93 🤔
@@sammiianne5295 I was talking about good times, last time I rode my BMX when i was 15 in 88 . Then it was a yamaha TZR-125 .
@@sammiianne5295 BMX was still huge in 93 and pro riders were still getting paid obscene amounts of money. BMX exists today to and is going nowhere. Don't comment a load of inaccurate crap!
Wish I was stuck in the 80s for eternity.
San Junipero, my friend...
Let's make a time machine and go back lol
Omg and me 😭😭😭
No
@@ajinbound5593 Yes hater 😡
Can't get much more early 80s than this.
Babytron the only rapper to serve these samples justice
In all the years I've listened to this song, I only realized now that after he says "AEIOU", he says "I sometimes cry" and "I sometimes lie". I always thought he was saying "and sometimes Y". You know, like the rules of vowels? Mind blown!
Masterpiece😮
Indimenticabile ❤
I guess this is the only one song breakdanceable made in UK and not in L.A. NY or Miami...
Awesome!
Hardly anything can get more 80's than this
I'm almost crying here, good times never comeback!!
Don't worry my man you always have your memories
good times ... fab music xxx
I was 10 years old and listen to this non stop. I had learned how to tape on cassettes. If only I could have one day, juts one.
Love it how the guy on the right with the guitar is having the time of his life! 😀😎😃😎😎
懐かしいです😉私の青春の思い出の曲です👍
I can't believe this is 40 years old! I remember it at the time being an awesome tune, and it still is today!
This song was every where back in the mid 80's . It was in constant rotation on the radio. Great song brings me back to 1984.
I could show this to children. Is this the most wholesome music video ever?
¡Hello, UA-cam! It's so good to turn back here...
Europe was Poppin in the 80's. Lived in Frankfurt, Germany from 1984-1987 and they always played this.
1983 spacca tutte le top
I can't count how many time i heard this song over the last 40 years And i never seen this video until now in 2024'' 40 years later is And the whole time i thought it was a lady singing this song lol😊
Exactly first time ever seeing this video....didn't know there was one!
You cant get much more 80s than this music video😎🎵🎶🎹🎧
If you still listening to this in 2080 just know that you are the best human living on earth
Don't worry. You're not the only one listening to this masterpiece in 2022..2023...2024..2025.............
Im still riding the childs bicycle in the video.
I didn't think I was. This song is a timeless masterpiece just like the entire 80s decade.
W
Haha classic
@@southlondonlad9144 A masterpiece, that's for sure
One of my Favorites...
Hands up who thinks the 80s wete the best decade? (or is it just me living in the past and l should move on as my misses tells me)
R.I.P. Dear Paul ‘Trouble’ Anderson.. the DJ at the beginning of this video, (pointed out to me by the legend Victor Simonelli).. rest easy brother 🙏🏻🙏🏻🎶🎵🎶🎵
Is it the DJ wearing red ? when did he die ?
guleet Yes. Sadly a few weeks ago..
ROBERT DEAN for me Paul were solely responsible for the conception of the UK Garage scene.. he brought US Garage over to the UK and made the scene what it was.. he started a plethora of DJ/Producer careers across the dance music spectrum.. inviting artists like Kerri Chandler and the Burrell brothers over to the Loft.. George Power were his mentor and he started Nice ‘n’ Ripe.. Moreover Paul wasn’t just one of the very best DJs, he were kind and helped people coming up, the music he shared ELEVATED souls.. a true gem that will be sorely missed by many.. 🙏🏻💙🎶🎵🎶🎵🎹🎷
@@guleet75 😧😧
😦😦😦
What a blast from the past
Take me back yo the 80's
After almost 35 years this song is still so powerful!!
IOUでダンス💃懐かしい❗BMX❗
ファションセンスが当時の映像❗🎶💃👍
The 80s....it will never happen again, it was the most colourful and creative era, it was constantly leaps and bounds, everyone enjoying
they say "the 80's of any era is always the best" Feel so thankful to the Higher Power that I was there to see the 80's and guide it lovingly through to the new millennium
waahou mon adolescence !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! souvenir,souvenir
Somebody still listen to this great song in 2019?
Heard it on the old school drive at 5. Came here to get a replay. Lol
Great music is great music forever! :)
Ck
crowhillian58 Amen!

One of the greatest tracks ever made!

ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
God,I miss the 80s😢 best time to grow up!❤❤
Taught my son his vowels with this song! Love this jam
Don't worry. You're not the only one listening to this masterpiece in 2023.
@allen its got stank all over it, pure funk
😂
I am
Ich höre auch dieses Lied auch noch so lange ich lebe 😅einfach top meine Jugend
Music that manages to transport you in the time machine of good memories.............
I use this song to teach my kids the vowels...a. e...a...e ...I....o....u.
I've heard this song ten thousand times and always thought this was a black female group. One of the greatest songs from that era, no doubt.
I said the same thing about JK of Jamiroquai when they first came out.
...and Boy George
@@shwndh Lol😂 I thought Jayson Kay was a black dude at first when Jamiroquai's debut CD title track Emergency on Planet Earth first came out back in '92 or '93?? I have the Traveling Without Moving CD, sir. It's their best one to me👍 Love it!!❤
@@shwndh Liked the Virtual Insanity video
LOL. Same here.
All the 80's in one single vídeo... Hell yeaaaa
Even the T-shirts had shoulder pads!!! I was 15 back then, how I wish I could go back there and know what I know now. 80's best era, best songs, I wanna live in the 80's forever!
This track is ahead of time that still has to come
The 80s were fun af!
I cry for times that will not return.
ok
for years I thought this tune was American. Glad to be getting that its British
God i miss these days
Got the 12 inch vinyl and still play it 40 years later ❤
MAGNIFICENT!!! 💜💯
Me too
WHO WOULDA THOUGHT YOU COULD MAKE A HIT SONG AND LEARN YOUR VOWELS AT THE SAME TIME!
TheCarcajoo same brotha same 👌
..hi
Fraggle Rock did
That's how the 80's did it.
People who had heard Ebn Ozn's previous hit, the different song "AEIOU."
This is how my offsprings learned their vowels and how to break dance to lessons in one☺️👸🏾🔥💅🏽 Made the knowledge fun to learn!
I thought it was a Afro band , i really loved this music, early 80's breakdance movement.
it brings back so many good memories
Summer 1983, the year I was born. This video alone makes me wish I could go back to this time, life seemed so much simpler and fun.
The British artist black white whatever are talented as hell.They feel that they dont get the credit and respect from America that they deserve.They get it from me and many others.
Wow Fantástic song!! Thank you for sharing.
you are very welcome :)
Maravillosos 80's!!! Esto era música!!!! Cuarenta años después sigo escuchándola!!
Probably the greatest video ever made.
Still a great song
I remember dancing to this classic at Club Xenon West in Ventura California in 1985. So young, so clueless, what a wonderful time!
Synthesizers, breakdancing, pop locking, BMX bikes, urban life etc
How could this not have millions of views and Despacito has trillions of views????
People don't enjoy listening to music anymore, they just wanna have a little moment of "fun"
Listening in 2023❤
I was on a school trip to London in 1983. We stayed with local families. I still remember when one of the hosts (cool black dude) walked down the street with his ghetto blaster playing IOU. I had never heard anything like it. That song was/is just A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
😅😅😅😅vuelvo a los 80❤❤❤😢😢
1983 : THE MARVELOUS YEAR WHEN THE WORLD WAS ON THE BRINK OF A NUCLEAR WAR, AND FREEEZ WERE SINGING "IOU" TO COMFORT US...
And the world was still a much better place then. A London we will never see again.
Love this song from my youth!!
1983✨✨ナイスミュージック⭐️✌️👍️
How young!!!! Good times!!!!
“IOU” by Freeze is of the best 80’s song
No argument here! Definitely one of the best songs of that era!
Sorry but southern freeze gets myvotey
Best years of our life ❤ 80s
Real music for our time in the 80s. Thank God I am still alive.
One of the first If not FREESTYLE records
It wasn’t a “Latin freestyle” record per se, but it definitely was the prototypical pioneer for the sound.
