Whoever choreographed this at that time is a pure genuis! I'm fucking shocked ! I'm a choreographer and I've never seen choreo from old music videos this advanced interns of being clean and on constant beat.

Well, it was a complicated time. Beautiful people everywhere, but then the whole AIDS thing as well. Surely better than the shithole that is the 21st century anyways
Electric Youth rocks she was 19 doing this unbelievable talent skill all on her account the guitarists and drummer are like cool in this whatever you want we will do it who couldn't agree a great video imagination and creation no one can beat the last 10,20 or even 30years that can't compare
Her beauty was so natural. No makeup, no crazy visual effects, just her singing, and dancing, and being sexy by being herself!!!! Debbie is a legend in my eyes, and I couldn't keep my eyes off of photos of her back when I was pining over her! I went to school with a girl who looked just like her and just...damn!!!!
She was the 80's version of a more wholesome Britney Spears that never suffered a breakdown. When Britney first came on the music scene, I had some flashbacks to Debbie Gibson.
OK...Debbie sang, she danced, she wrote, she arranged, she produced and she played instruments. She wasn't just a threat. She was a MENACE. And that menace just happened to write some infectiously melodic songs. OMG! Songwriters today need to hear songs like this...they'd kill for hooks this simple yet this sharp.
I was just having this debate in my mind, because I really used to be Team Tiffany. But, as I am older, and I am a musician, I look back and I think I'm changing teams. Tiffany was a rocker girl, but she was a glorified karaoke singer. Deb had everything you listed.
Slippy516 Yep, I also used to be team Tiffany. Yes, she was karaoke girl. Frankly, Upon watching Debbie videos on UA-cam, i was inspired to sing. Am having self learning voice lessons, range is e2-g6 in 3 months, am a fast learner as i had topped music finals in elementary having our valedictorian congratulate me personally. I get cues from watching live performances of artists on UA-cam
It's funny how time has written her off and Britney Spears is probably gonna be remembered years after Debbie is gone basically because of the sex symbol thing, sad actually!
It’s pretty obnoxious, tbh. What magical and wise ideas are these electric youths putting forward with their limited life experience? As someone who grew up in that era, i can say that none of my contemporaries of that time had any thoughts of note to contribute to society.

She's the youngest artist to write produce and perform a number one song at the age of 16. Stevie is the youngest solo artist at 13 to have a number one hit although micheal Jackson was 11 when the Jackson 5 had a number one hit
I wasn't born in the 80s. My mom brought home Debbie's greatest hits from award sale in like 2009. I was 13 or 14. My cousin Jared and I found this song and made a dance for it. My mom went from being thrilled about her yard sale find to "despising" this track. Jared passed in 2023 but I still come back and listen to this. It was his favorite.
I really like the interlude of this song. I especially like the way Debbie Gibson moves her eyes when she sings "wo-wo-wo-wo".I want to watch that scene over and over again.
When her album came out, I bought this cassette (1987). I was playing the entire cassette again and again while doing my high school homework each night. So my favorite girl is on iHeart radio tonight. I still play her songs on my home audio system. And many of my favorites of hers were never released. I’m so happy that she is the co-host tonight. She and I are just a few months apart in age, and both from NY.
I will admit that, at the time, she was everywhere to the point of annoyance. I was about 18 and I wasn’t into the pop scene at all. She was constantly on MTV and then suddenly, she wasn’t. She was a victim of some backlash as mainstream music took a huge hit. The 1990’s brought in grunge and gangsta rap. Two things that killed what was left of the 80’s. I remember when Debbie showed up to sing with the Circle Jerks at CBGBs in the mid-90s. I was saddened at seeing her try to find relevance again. I realized then and now what we lost. The girl was super-talented and gifted, and that beautiful era of 80’s innocence was gone. So, I look back at this video and see a brighter, more hopeful time. We’ll never have this peaceful, wonderful time again - and that hurts to think about.
@@nuclearcatbaby1131it was better for her to emerge in the 80’s, as the 90’s devolved into a musical mess for a long time. No pop-friendly at all. No one says, “Hey, remember that great hit from 1999? Or 2005?” I have enjoyed music from the last 15 years or so. The market has allowed many bands and acts to come back. Debbie is accepted more now than she has been in 30 years.
You struck a chord in me with this comment. I have been really curious as to why the 90s music scene was so depressing, subdued and seemed to embrace the worst in life compared to the 80s, which seemed so amazing with the brightness and optimism despite the bad.
@@PrairieFalcon I know, right? I don’t think we’re alone in this feeling. Something dark came into the world in the 90’s and has stuck around for every decade. Constant war, depression, lack of civility, depleted morals - it’s been very bleak.
Debbie Gibson was a victim of the changing music styles. It is sad 😕 because she was a very talented girl. Of course Debbie was not the only one - almost all pop acts flopped in the early 90s.
I was also born in 1972, I'm lucky to have an opportunity to hear this beautiful song in 80's and thank God that I still can hear this present time, August 2024 at my 52 in age.
Why can’t today’s artist be like this with fun and simple songs and videos like these with no one being half naked in them. I swear if I could pick what era to be a teen in I’d chose the 80’s. A lot was better then than today’s music tbh.
The 80's were great as a teen, I was one of them, the world was so optimistic, anyone could make it, but then came the sobering 90's and the crushing reality of being an adult, and life has kinda sucked ever since.
The 90's were a great time to be a teen as well. I honestly think that generation was the last one where the dudes actually had naturally occurring testosterone. The kids today are all bitches!
Love the energy of this song! 80's was the best and so was Debbie Gibson! She's still amazing to this day! Very grounded, talented, and a wonderful personality!🌹
While "Out of the Blue" made me a fan, "Electric Youth" made me a diehard fan. Still an infectious song to this day. Debbie doesn't get enough credit for her killer pop tracks.
they said that she was "the britney spears of the 80's" that's not true debbie gibsons maid all the songs alone: writing composition singing chorégraphy dancing casting she was a complete artist
Debbie was such a sweetheart! I may be a 90's born kid but I feel like I'm an old soul living in a young body. Boy, i just enjoy musics of 80's , 90's , 00's and old school EDMs so much that I have already forgotten what music is nowadays.. ain't nothing like them old but great stuffs like this one anymore.. sad truth.
I've always been a classic rock fan. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who, but with that being said, this song is so goddamn good. It's close to perfection. Debbie's vocals, all the stuff going on in the background. I can listen to it a million times and never get tired of it because every time I listen to it I hear something new. This was always my favorite song of hers even though it wasn't one of her biggest hits
This was real Clean Music. Her and Tiffany closed the 80s era and started the early 90s style. I love the style Debbie had, she had a Jazzie turned into pop. Absolutely love this video. I was 7 years young
I was Electric Youth, Generation X, etc etc. I had Debbie Gibson posters all over my bedroom walls. I still have several copies of the cassette version of this to this day. Why? This was a major part of my early teens & happens to be, still, in the top 5 of my favorite s of all time. Thank you Mrs. Gibson for your contributions to the music industry & my younger years.. Electric Youth will never grow old in my life. You were special. 🔥
Wow. When I was young all I knew of Debbie Gibson was breathy ballads and punchy pop songs; this song (and dance, and the fact that she wrote it, etc) shows her to most definitely be a prodigy! This song could easily be the theme of a musical theater production--it is complex, emotional, and displays her incredible vocal range. Back then, as an ambitious young performer myself, I wrote her off. Was I ever wrong!! Go Debbie!
There is so many things that I love about this video. Debbie Gibson dressed like a teenager of the 1980's. She wasn't dress as an adult or a sex object. I think that I saw her mom and one of her sisters in this video. I bet Debbie's mom was protective of Debbie. Being in the music industry.
Debbie Gibson mom was the mom Lynn Spears should have been to her daughter (Britney) when it came to media and music industry protecting her daughter from. Debbie’s mom did not care for Her daughter money and fame. Lynn was the complete opposite.
I was her biggest fan in the late 1980's and 1990's like you wouldn't believe. I had my mom cut my hair just like her and dressed like her. I joined choir because of her. I still love her 30 years later Debbie Gibson!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️🎵🎵🎵🎵
So many good songs in the 80s. I still play this and im 52, i think the world has run out of music. Wish i was 19 again. You wont hear todays music in 30yrs time in fact you wont hear it in 2 yrs its just noise with no tune or hook. A true artist and there's a reason they're called that as being artistic wasn't just miming to songs written for you whilst you basically got naked to promote it. I may be stuck in the 80's but it's not a bad one to be stuck in.
The world ain't never going to run out of music because the devil was the leader of the choir in heaven and when he got cast out he went to hell so music going to be around forever LMFAO and plus there's a lot of amazing music out now if you choose to be stuck in a Time capsule that's fine say that but don't this music now just cuz you don't enjoy it
This was perfect . People that was before britney and taylor She was making money doing good music dancing and being in the heart of a generation without using internet all was organic
It’s not really underrated though Is it. It was a hit on its original release, is regarded as a highlight of the album it came from and is fairly warmly regarded. 🤷🏻♂️
@@olivervanburen704Actually I did damage one. I remember being a teenager, my mom called me to dinner. I didn't want to stop playing my video game, so I picked a cassette up and whipped it at the wall. Unfortunately, it was Debbie's Out Of The Blue tape (not the case, I whipped the tape). It still played, though, and I think I still have the tape my parents' house.
🎹 There is SO much going on in the background of this song, so many cool sounds. This is the first decade with modern full electronic pop sound. So cool!
Just saw her on the new TV show "we are family"..fabulous! Still sounds and looks great! Ahhh the 80s..what fun times indeed..glad I was able to be a part of them 🎉❤
2:55 the old men dance moves. Love it. I was 17 when this song came out. Great times the 80s. The movies, music, toys, TV shows, cloths, EVERYTHING !! you had to have been there. 😀
One thing about music it never dies it Always there for ever , I use to listen to this song over and over when I was younger the music will always be around but we will not
So I used my VCR to record this as a kid and learn the dance. Now I’m a dance teacher. Not sure why I am just now looking it up 😂 I’ve since lost my VHS tape with it on it
Before the Era of Dance Youths in the 80s, there's Debbie Gibson. Followed by Britney Spears in the 1990s to year 2,000. Their the only two young fresh Blondes who conquered the Youths during their time.
Around the time Debbie Gibson released this song, she also released a perfume called Electric Youth. I wish manufactures would make that again. It smelled great and is still one of my favorite fragrances though they stopped making it ages ago. This song always makes me think of it, of course.
Yes, it was my favorite too! I commented on her Instagram page about how much I loved it, and she commented back and said that Justin Bieber's first cologne had a similar smell. Not sure if this helps. Loved that perfume! :)
That was a big hit in Brazil. She was like Britney Spears of that era. I got to take a photo and autograph in New York in 2000. She’s really sweet and kind.
Lately I find myself listening to the 80"s music and mostly watching the movies I adored and grew up on. Missing my mom as well brings back a lot of memories. I sure do miss those times.
Just discovered this song while looking at her new video single. I was born that year-so I was never alive during her heyday, but wow! This was really good! I've used it on my bike riding workouts lol!
If only we had this video and a screen for a special dance club where I was last night.We have a new member in the class who did the best they could but could have benefitted from this.
There was an "electric Youth" perfume sold in the 80's. I remember seeing it for sale. The tube that brought the perfume to the nozzle was neon green and kind of lightning shaped.
Great song. I come from England where Debbie wasn't really on the radio and all these videos are new to me. The choreography in this one makes me chuckle. I always loved Debbie's voice. Always reminded me of the Jem theme tune… anyone else?
She was the biggest teen star in the 80’s. Albums that spent weeks at #1. And she wrote and produced her own stuff. And she was able to do all that without having to wear skimpy outfits and bending over to get people to watch like some of the younger pop stars of today. And this is such a bouncy upbeat joyful pop tune that is still awesome thirty years later.
She was one of the biggest, the other was Tiffany, the two were put head to head in 88 although both of them deny any such rivalry, probably true considering they did a movie together, in 89 however Debbie was more popular than tiffany
Hello, I am writing to you from Chile. If what you write is true, I congratulate you, I think it is the right thing to do. I didn't know everything you say about how she was composed her songs and was also a producer. If you allude to J.Lo in your comment, it should also be understood that the world changes and that now they sell other things, there are no longer groups or singers that last over time, the disposable is the immediate.
I may have been born in the 90's but man songs from the 90's including from the 80's were just so good. I wish this style of music came back in modern day.
The years of peg legs rolled up sleeves hats and blue jean jackets with fringes and beads and jewels safety pins with beads clipped on 80'S can't be beat .
I'm proud to declare that I was part of this Electric Youth era..😊!!

she was a complete artist
Yeah she was more of the Taylor Swift of the 80s but that’s more even than what Taylor does (she’s directing her own music videos now though)
Who's still listening to this song up to this year 2019?❤️ Debbie Gibson is the best!
Anjoline Tara Ligaray, love Debbie's music!! Been listening for a long time.
Anjoline Tara Ligaray ITS ⚡️
Still listening in 2019!
Me...lol
Anjoline Tara Ligaray better question.. who wore the perfume?❤️😄
I did! lol
Debbie was such a sweetheart! I may be a 90's born kid but I feel like I'm an old soul living in a young body. Boy, i just enjoy musics of 80's , 90's , 00's and old school EDMs so much that I have already forgotten what music is nowadays.. ain't nothing like them old but great stuffs like this one anymore.. sad truth.
I've always been a classic rock fan. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, the Who, but with that being said, this song is so goddamn good. It's close to perfection. Debbie's vocals, all the stuff going on in the background. I can listen to it a million times and never get tired of it because every time I listen to it I hear something new. This was always my favorite song of hers even though it wasn't one of her biggest hits
As a metal head, it is amazing that I get to discover the other side of the musical coin I ignored for so long. Great song!
I never thought that I will every say this 'Those were the days".
Yes, those were the days.
I asked my aunt about 80s music and at the time she was trying to mind her own bussiness and I was bothered and she said her name
The best days!
В России так же говорят ❤
I'm glad to be GenX people. The best of all. This is one. Of us.
Generation Electric Youth! 😜
This was real Clean Music. Her and Tiffany closed the 80s era and started the early 90s style. I love the style Debbie had, she had a Jazzie turned into pop. Absolutely love this video. I was 7 years young
I was 15 during my generation which means you were the next generation in "Electric Youth" 🤔😎🤣👍
I was 9. Man I miss the 80s!
I was Electric Youth, Generation X, etc etc. I had Debbie Gibson posters all over my bedroom walls. I still have several copies of the cassette version of this to this day. Why? This was a major part of my early teens & happens to be, still, in the top 5 of my favorite s of all time.
Thank you Mrs. Gibson for your contributions to the music industry & my younger years.. Electric Youth will never grow old in my life. You were special. 🔥
Anyone who says the 80's were sh*t - they never had the radio on...
Jesus, my most favourite and memorable song since 14 years old, love you, gifted singer, Debbie Gibson.
Wow. When I was young all I knew of Debbie Gibson was breathy ballads and punchy pop songs; this song (and dance, and the fact that she wrote it, etc) shows her to most definitely be a prodigy! This song could easily be the theme of a musical theater production--it is complex, emotional, and displays her incredible vocal range. Back then, as an ambitious young performer myself, I wrote her off. Was I ever wrong!! Go Debbie!
I want to go back to 1989. No coronavirus, better movies and shows and my mom was still alive. Great song and artist.
I was 17 back then smoking a couple of joints , getting drunk on Mad Dogs and 🍻 beer . Fuck those were the some great times
Same here! And I had plenty of hair lol beautiful year!
@@robertrodriguez787 I agree. I did all that too.
@@robertrodriguez787 that got dark fast. I'm sorry for your loss.
I was 8 then and remember this era as the best for music, youth and innocence....
There is so many things that I love about this video. Debbie Gibson dressed like a teenager of the 1980's. She wasn't dress as an adult or a sex object. I think that I saw her mom and one of her sisters in this video. I bet Debbie's mom was protective of Debbie. Being in the music industry.
Debbie Gibson mom was the mom Lynn Spears should have been to her daughter (Britney) when it came to media and music industry protecting her daughter from. Debbie’s mom did not care for Her daughter money and fame. Lynn was the complete opposite.
イーレクトリックユース！ 懐かしくて 嬉しくて 何度も聞いてしまいます
She was the first princess of POP...
***** Madonna was always the Queen
eSther Sony oo nman...at super ganda pa nya noon.
+eSther Sony She sure was!
Debbie has outstanding musical qualities. she is the queen victoria of pop.
+eSther Sony No, Lesley Gore was.
I was her biggest fan in the late 1980's and 1990's like you wouldn't believe. I had my mom cut my hair just like her and dressed like her. I joined choir because of her. I still love her 30 years later Debbie Gibson!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️🎵🎵🎵🎵
Darcy Marie Druck Tcb Mel Gibson must be proud 😊
The electric youth album was really good I liked every song as a young girl.
The choreography is a reminder of her influence. Janet Jackson. Debbie Gibson killed it in this video!
This songs brings back memories of my "Electric Youth" of being in my 20's during the 80's!
So many good songs in the 80s. I still play this and im 52, i think the world has run out of music. Wish i was 19 again. You wont hear todays music in 30yrs time in fact you wont hear it in 2 yrs its just noise with no tune or hook. A true artist and there's a reason they're called that as being artistic wasn't just miming to songs written for you whilst you basically got naked to promote it. I may be stuck in the 80's but it's not a bad one to be stuck in.
The world ain't never going to run out of music because the devil was the leader of the choir in heaven and when he got cast out he went to hell so music going to be around forever LMFAO and plus there's a lot of amazing music out now if you choose to be stuck in a Time capsule that's fine say that but don't this music now just cuz you don't enjoy it
Everything is just shit today. We've peaked as a civilisation. 80s was definitely the climax.
I'm sixty-four and I've loved Debbie's music since I first saw her videos on MTV.
This was perfect . People that was before britney and taylor
She was making money doing good music dancing and being in the heart of a generation without using internet all was organic
Such an underrated song. It’s a classic and so beloved
Yes it is. I remember I had this album on cassette tape. You could throw those things and they would not get damaged. lol
It’s not really underrated though Is it. It was a hit on its original release, is regarded as a highlight of the album it came from and is fairly warmly regarded. 🤷🏻♂️
JUVENTUD ELÉCTRICA 💯💥
@@olivervanburen704Actually I did damage one. I remember being a teenager, my mom called me to dinner. I didn't want to stop playing my video game, so I picked a cassette up and whipped it at the wall. Unfortunately, it was Debbie's Out Of The Blue tape (not the case, I whipped the tape). It still played, though, and I think I still have the tape my parents' house.
Always was a huge fan of Debbie Gibson! Was so blessed to have been able to grow up in that era!!
Yeah, I was also young and happy to know her in my life.
Debbie is an oracle, she can literally foresee the future!
Love Debbie!!! I’m 53 yrs old but I feel like 17 when I listen to her songs. I just noticed there’s a clip of Michael Jordan in her video. 🥰
She had great voice and wholesomeness. Loved this video and her music!
This song has positive lyrics and made a hit.
🎹 There is SO much going on in the background of this song, so many cool sounds. This is the first decade with modern full electronic pop sound. So cool!
Just saw her on the new TV show "we are family"..fabulous! Still sounds and looks great! Ahhh the 80s..what fun times indeed..glad I was able to be a part of them 🎉❤
2:55 the old men dance moves. Love it. I was 17 when this song came out. Great times the 80s. The movies, music, toys, TV shows, cloths, EVERYTHING !! you had to have been there. 😀
I was there and agree with you
I got 14 years old and i wish been there 🙏🏻
i was there and i totally agree 🥰
Tell them again! It was amazing growing up in the eighties!
A true singer , songwriter, and talented musician .
the Princess of 80's!!!
Late 80s only.
She was replaced by Britney Spear Generation
She is in 90's!
The Princess of 80,s, is Kylie Minogue.
@@iv2420 aka Cammy
very simple dance moves but were cool back then..wish I could go back in time, being a kid during the 80s.
This song has the kind of lyrics I like. I just discovered it few days ago. Now I'm a Debbie Gibson Fan. She is a true artist.
One thing about music it never dies it Always there for ever , I use to listen to this song over and over when I was younger the music will always be around but we will not
So I used my VCR to record this as a kid and learn the dance. Now I’m a dance teacher. Not sure why I am just now looking it up 😂 I’ve since lost my VHS tape with it on it
I use these videos to practise for my dance classes each week.I am doing them on the bus to prepare me for Monday
@@franzchong5889 love that! Teachers can tell when their dancers practice on their own 😊 and we always appreciate the effort and enthusiasm!
En esta época. Era DJ. Después la música cambio tanto que me dio lata. El talento musical se fue a las pailas
Debbie Gibson is hall of fame and inspiration to all artists
I STILL have her poster hanging in my house 30 YEARS LATER! It is in the computer room where I'm typing this message. Not bad for a dedicated fan!
In the words of John Bender, that is demented and sad.
LOL !!!
Robert Bardo also had Debbie Gibson posters on his wall. You should google him.
I found an Electric Youth tape at a sale yesterday and this title track blew my mind. How has this passed me by all this time?! Perfection.
It's a masterpiece of pop music.
Before the Era of Dance Youths in the 80s, there's Debbie Gibson. Followed by Britney Spears in the 1990s to year 2,000. Their the only two young fresh Blondes who conquered the Youths during their time.
Debbie Gibson is an icon 😍 I love her .
Many love you many thanks
M
YES MADELYN JİMENEZ CABRERA VARGAS YES MANY LOVE YOU MANY LOVE YOU
Around the time Debbie Gibson released this song, she also released a perfume called Electric Youth. I wish manufactures would make that again. It smelled great and is still one of my favorite fragrances though they stopped making it ages ago. This song always makes me think of it, of course.
jdax21 You reminded me that I had her perfume. I believe it was a purple bottle and kind of a fruity smell!
I had the perfume and you are so right
Oh my god that's right...it was pink and purple swirly design I think??
Yes, it was my favorite too! I commented on her Instagram page about how much I loved it, and she commented back and said that Justin Bieber's first cologne had a similar smell. Not sure if this helps. Loved that perfume! :)
Every girl’s favorite perfume in 6th grade.
I'm 11 years old but I LOVE this song, its rhythm, its lyrics and its instruments
That was a big hit in Brazil. She was like Britney Spears of that era. I got to take a photo and autograph in New York in 2000. She’s really sweet and kind.
She's more like Taylor Swift since she writes her own songs
Lately I find myself listening to the 80"s music and mostly watching the movies I adored and grew up on. Missing my mom as well brings back a lot of memories. I sure do miss those times.
I want to go back to 80s
They were the best times weren't they? Todays generation have no idea what they've missed out on!
Just discovered this song while looking at her new video single. I was born that year-so I was never alive during her heyday, but wow! This was really good! I've used it on my bike riding workouts lol!
If only we had this video and a screen for a special dance club where I was last night.We have a new member in the class who did the best they could but could have benefitted from this.
You were alive during her heyday, but you were a baby. 😏 I was two when she came out with Out Of The Blue. I was five when Electric Youth came out. 😀
I was born in the 80's and grew up with these kinds of music...no nudity and vulgar lyrics..all decent and clean
There was an "electric Youth" perfume sold in the 80's. I remember seeing it for sale. The tube that brought the perfume to the nozzle was neon green and kind of lightning shaped.
The best decade .. The last decade of innocence and simplicity ..
Feels remarkably modern and fresh tbh. Could be a hit in 2023.
Да мне тоже нравится ✌🏻✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great song. I come from England where Debbie wasn't really on the radio and all these videos are new to me. The choreography in this one makes me chuckle. I always loved Debbie's voice. Always reminded me of the Jem theme tune… anyone else?
可愛い…可愛過ぎる🥰
踊ってるシーン大好き❤
いいですよねぇ
She was the biggest teen star in the 80’s. Albums that spent weeks at #1. And she wrote and produced her own stuff. And she was able to do all that without having to wear skimpy outfits and bending over to get people to watch like some of the younger pop stars of today. And this is such a bouncy upbeat joyful pop tune that is still awesome thirty years later.
Kim Wilde was pretty good to&Good at singing
The fact that today music sucks, make those songs even more awesome!
She was one of the biggest, the other was Tiffany, the two were put head to head in 88 although both of them deny any such rivalry, probably true considering they did a movie together, in 89 however Debbie was more popular than tiffany
Hello, I am writing to you from Chile. If what you write is true, I congratulate you, I think it is the right thing to do. I didn't know everything you say about how she was composed her songs and was also a producer. If you allude to J.Lo in your comment, it should also be understood that the world changes and that now they sell other things, there are no longer groups or singers that last over time, the disposable is the immediate.
True... What a way to end the decade of pure pop music. 👍
I was born in 81, and this music was everything growing up. Miss the 80's.....Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo 😏😏😏
😱
Same! Born in 81😅 and Debbie Gibson was IT when I was little!
i was born in 1984,i'm so glad I heard this song in my childhood days
I may have been born in the 90's but man songs from the 90's including from the 80's were just so good. I wish this style of music came back in modern day.
'80s still rock!!! Who's still listening in 2019??
Me! I want 2 replicate the scent of her perfume! Any ideas of how 2 replicate the scent? Any1? Any1? Bueller? Bueller?
This song never gets old. It's 80s but until now i'm still loving this song.
Me too! For us this song is timeless. I'm proud to tell my 2 daughters that this song is precious and sung by a multi talented singer.
I was a teen a couple of years younger than Debbie when this came out. I'm still crazy about this song after all these years! So inspiring to me!
i agree i miss those days .. whenever i listened this song it brings back the old days
The years of peg legs rolled up sleeves hats and blue jean jackets with fringes and beads and jewels safety pins with beads clipped on 80'S can't be beat .
