Love this song and I love this band!!!! And yes, I'm old and I won't trade places with anyone. It was great being young during the 80s jamming out to new wave songs! THanks for posting!
jumped onstage during a friend's show last nite and did this with his new Rick 12-string. I'm amazed we got as close to this as we did (pretty f-ing close!); still, I bow to Peter Case & co.
Great song, great band. that music just doesn't age. Classic stuff and I'm stoked to see them out there playing live and kicking ass. I just bought another copy of the 'Everywhere At Once' CD to replace the one I wore out! lol
Took a girl named Linda to see Valley Girl at a theater in Ft. Worth. I would soon travel to Los Angeles seeking fame and fortune. Found and lost both. But this song is still one of my favs.
This album introduced me to the music that shaped my life. I think I must have listened to this song more than any other song in my life when you add them all up...
Peter Case had emergency heart surgery and like so many of us, has no insurance. Please consider donating to his fund and to the recovery fund for drummer Richie Heywood of Little Feat.
The truth hurts....but Nic Cage's acting ability peaked on the film Valley Girl! No wonder he doesn't acknowledge it much.... ...great film (Valley Girl) and great album from the Plimsouls!
My heart surgery was pretty much free, cuz i was a broke ass peon worker in AZ. State ACCCS. in Arizona paid for the whole bypass surgery. My Cobra Coverage was a joke. Need surgery, be unemployed in AZ. I'm grateful they gave a shit..
Hey the Plimsouls are still a great band. Great songs no matter now old are always great songs. Why the hell you think teens now are listening to 30-40 year old songs???? Are you gunna tell me The Beatles, Stones, Dead, and Floyd are crap bands cause their old??? Damn without some of these bands you'd never have the Bad Brains , Foo Fighters, Stone Temple Pilots, Saosin etc etc give me a break!!!
Why said he didn't have insurance? Insurance only goes so far. My girlfriend has insurance and she recently had some work done on her liver and she has to now cough up $7000 in addition to the $650 she pays monthly for insurance. And she didn't have emergency heart surgery like Peter Case had. He may be looking at $100,000 plus...even if he had insurance. And for the time being, he's unable to earn money to pay this debt.
So what? We weren't any better - for the most part. I CAN lay claim to catching a couple of the Nerves earliest gigs at Brendan Mullen's Masque in '77. But anybody who was in high school circa 1978 - as I was - remembers classmates raving about that 'new' Van Halen rocker 'You Really Got Me' that was taking the airwaves by storm that summer. Only a relative handful of us - blessed with the tutelage of our older siblings record collections - knew it to be the punk rock genius of Ray and Dave Davies from almost 15 years earlier. I do feel fortunate that LA kids my age found their own path to a new rock and roll subculture - out from under the shadow of the (by then) dinosaurs of Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. It wasn't every town in America that could boast a roster like X, The Blasters, The 'souls, The Weirdos, The Minutemen, Los Lobos, Top Jimmy, Black Flag, The Dickies... Kind of ruined you for anything else but CBGB and the NY scene.
@Salguine I pay $800.00 per month for health insurence that covers my whole family, thats $266.00 per person. My daughter got hurt and was in the hospital for a week, surgery, etc, I paid like $500.00. What I am sick of is people like you blaming everybody but themselves for there problems. You can get good coverage if you shop for it. I do think that alot of money is wasted on the system that could go to care and lower the cost, but dont give me this load of crap of me being un informed
At least not everyone gets big and cool. Nic Cage should thank the Gods for "Valley Girl" and "Fast Times" They got him some notice and Deborah Foreman. Wake up dummy and realize the past is what made you not the crap you make now.
I had a very clear version of this song in my Favoraties, and just yesterday, it was removed BECAUSE "Viacom" said it was theres. FK! Viacom!! I am SO SO Sick of them!!!
OK you may think I am a jerk, but anybody can buy health insurence, it cost $500.00 per month, which is alot, but it is a priority. I am sorry for Peter, but be this a lesson to all you musicains with no insurence, go get it.
Easily in the top 5 of ultimate cool power pop songs of all time. Plims if you read this....thanks. You should be proud.
This song is PERFECT! Love the Plimsouls, such an amazing band.
Love this song and I love this band!!!! And yes, I'm old and I won't trade places with anyone. It was great being young during the 80s jamming out to new wave songs! THanks for posting!

they still sound great!
Thanks, please subscribe to my channel.
Still sound great 25 years after!!!!
These guys sound GREAT!!!! Just like the 80s again!
I have always loved this song. The music reminds me of The Byrds.
I know, I know, I am dating myself.
They were fricken AWESOME in the movie Valley Girl starring 18yr old Nicolas Cage!!! AAHHH the memories!!! DAMN!!!
Damn, they still sound great!

This is as good as the original, maybe better. Always loved this song. Staying out of the health care fight. I fought the law, and the law won.
Love this song SO much! These guys rocked!
Man they sound awesome 👌 😎 👍

Wow, voice sounds as youthful as the original recording.
This album introduced me to the music that shaped my life. I think I must have listened to this song more than any other song in my life when you add them all up...
For once I was there. Great show…and Clem Burke on drums!
Great band! Thanks
Love this song and I love this band!!!!
Great drummer.
They did have a great drummer, Lou Ramirez .
However, this is Clem Burke (of Blondie fame).
But he does a great job, right?
WOW. The Plimsouls!!! Still rockin' the rock! New Wave power pop of the 80s. The most creative music era.
Any band where frontman plays a Rickenbacker 12 string is automatically awesome!
Thanks, please subscribe to my channel.
I think this is a good example of why we need health care reform that gives people access to good insurence and a reasonable cost.
Still sound great.
love this song!!!
the band signed in my hometown paramount, calif. early 80s
I grew up in Paramount. Right across 5he street from Dave
Great song by a great band and yes I do feel old now that I'm 37.
Peter Case had emergency heart surgery and like so many of us, has no insurance. Please consider donating to his fund and to the recovery fund for drummer Richie Heywood of Little Feat.
Valley Girl Flashback!
I was at this show!!!!!!!!
Thanks, please subscribe to my channel.
@@jamesmorrishomes no
so many people saying they feel old now... im probably the one of the only few kids in my generation to ever hear of the plimsouls @_@
Great song - very memorable from that era.
Spectacular
💯😎
Thanks, please subscribe to my channel.
You are right - that is indeed Clem Burke. I think he joined them for a couple of sessions.
A great song writer Peter Case is. Check out Peter Case Sings Like Hell. Great recording.
The truth hurts....but Nic Cage's acting ability peaked on the film Valley Girl! No wonder he doesn't acknowledge it much....
...great film (Valley Girl) and great album from the Plimsouls!
their best show in SF was in dec. '06.
bloo the roof off the place (red devil).
I'm working with bass player on westworld cool dude
My heart surgery was pretty much free, cuz i was a broke ass peon worker in AZ. State ACCCS. in Arizona paid for the whole bypass surgery. My Cobra Coverage was a joke. Need surgery, be unemployed in AZ. I'm grateful they gave a shit..
I believe the drummer's Clem Burke,Blondie's drummer.
Could be wrong,though.
~Giddyup~ if u cool u stay cool- ask Clint or 007 what time it is...
Was this the Cafe Du Nord show?

My lord...so this iz how it turned out. Better to burn out than to fade away...perhaps?
