RICK is asking questions to Sally ( Siri ) but the things get weird in the video "human touch' when he is dancing with the girl and there is a sinister robotic and demonic voice in the bakckground saying: I am controller, and i want to touch and seize you and make you mine" it may refer that the human race is human farm for the sinister beings who control the world .Rick might know something that we ignore.
My favorite Rick Springfield song. In the video, he asks Sally what year it is. She responds that it's 2016 (33 years after the song was released). The lyrics are even more meaningful in 2022. (Edited)
I wonder what Rick thinks of life in 2023,40 years after this song??? And, can we talk about how prophetic the lyrics are? And how now everyone has a computer in their hand more powerful than the first Mac? Or IBM original PC? That phone in your hand right now, as you watch videos in the bathroom by yourself is more powerful than anything dreamt of in 1983. Where most homes didn't even have 1 computer.
@@TherealMrsCothrine now, we have virtual machines, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc. I’m working on my degree in Network Administration and cybersecurity, so I get a front row seat for the latest technology.
@grege9019 not sure your source buy mine still say 83 and I remember being 13 and Affair of the Heart being the other single and video from Living in Oz
Greetings from the future and the coast of Mississippi. 1983 is when this video came out. Yet it is set in 2016. I waited decades for that year and now we have surpassed it. Rick is one of my favourite 80's singers....from his General Hospital days to present ❤😂🎉
It’s actually within its own time. People have been imagining future worlds for centuries. There was a lot of concern over nuclear war in the 1980’s. I was there! 😉
Brian Bachelder your right, the future of what the elite are planning are told through television, music, movies. But most cannot see this happening. We are moving toward a one world order and people seem to love their servitude. I hope they all wake up to see that our minds are the hardest prison to escape. Those in power think we are to weak to make our own decisions. Why do you think the gap between the rich and poor is so wide in 2017? They want complete control of your lives and people are unwillingly giving them to those that control us without a fight.
What rabbit hole? Listening to anything after is a shitty rabbit hole you wanna stay out of. People need to stop worrying about the year something came out and calling that a genre…pop or not
My friend and me were both metal heads in the 80's but we both loved Rick Springfield's music. I still love it to today. His music was just so classic.
To George varughese - I don't mean to spoil the dream - but if you're from the U.K., these were the Thatcher Years! So the times were great for music, but with Unemployment and hospital closures thrown in! Those times WERE good - if you kept "blinkers" on ( you know those shields they put over horses eyes in traffic, so they only see FORWARDS, and aren't scared by traffic to either side).
Best damn decade for music. EVER. No two ways about it. I feel sorry for kids who didn't experience it. I was born in 1966 so in January of 1980 I had just turned 13. Couldn't ask for a better time to live.
Please focus on the key word in the last sentence: "... seemed..." It's very much a matter of perspective. The decade had its pleasant parts, of course, but plenty of horrors, to go with it...
“Everybody’s talking to computers…” This song seems prophetic. Remember when it came out? People actually talked face-to-face to each other back then. Studies have shown that even though people are connected electronically in the digital age, people feel more alienated than ever. It seems we do need the human touch, maybe more than ever. Remember when men and women connected in person rather than fishing through endless profiles on online dating sites? Remember when people had real friends instead of Facebook friends? I sometimes long for those days. Does anyone else?

There is just something about this song that makes you have to crank it up and sing along out-loud with it! Specially towards the end without the music! I LOVE THE 80’s!!
@David Ball Music🎵 Forever...Since Working Class Dog! Rick Springfield has always been an inspiration for music! Especially as a guitarist! He never gets old...
It is the year: 2016 A.D. Woot! I'm part of this video. I remember watching this back the the '80's when MTV still played music more than the crap is does now. Is MTV still on the air? :) Thanks for sharing.
Ray Brundridge ya MTV IS still on the air. They just play crap about Teen Mom’s! Great role model of a channel. I love when the girls aren’t even 22 and have 3 kids! WTF??? The 80’s rule!!!!
yeah they still have it, its too bad i wasn't able to experience any of the cool stuff of the 80s but theres always make do with whatever i have now its still a really cool time to be alive
Roller skating at the Great Skate in Regina Saskatchewan in 1983 to this song. Same year as Return of the Jedi, Wargames, Krull , Superman 3. What fun times...
It's just because he was a great performer. His music videos were always witty and endearing. I always imagined that he was my brother that made it in the music business, while I languished away as a scientist. But all's well that ends well.
Was a teen when this came out (my lanta, what a dreamboat he was!) bought the album. Remember it being a very "new" sound for Rick compared to his earlier stuff. But I hadn't listened to it in all these years since... but the lyrics were running through my head today in August of 2021... how fitting! As a society, we're so connected that we're disconnected...
Just wanna say, I saw Rick Springfield last night in concert. 🥰 I got to touch him as he was singing this song. I human touched him. 🤷♀️ Appropriately. 🤣
What I love about 80s music videos and movies that are linked to Time Travel or what the future looks like is when it comes to the dates that are in the videos themselves that have arrived and gone and you look at how they thought the world would look like at that time
Who knew Springfield was a prophet. This was written 30 something years before the 6ft apart social distancing covid rules. This should be the entire globes coming out of lockdown theme song 🤗
I love how much of a nerd Rick Springfield is, and still manages to be cool at the same time! Watching him in "Nick Knight" and "Human Target", knowing those were the shows he chose to act in, proved it wasn't just the music video producers choosing sci-fi videos for him, he's One Of Us!
Happy Birthday Rick! Love all your songs,this is one of my favs! Especially today we all need the Human Touch for sure! Have fun on your special day and Love you forever❤️🙏🏻🎂🎉🎈🎸
Rotary phones were already old by the late 80s (my earliest memories), but actually cassettes DID last a pretty long time! Like until the mid or late 2000s, esp blank tapes.
A true experiment that proves this song is telling the truth, awhile back in some European country, I think it was Romania, they had a group of babies that were never touched and nurtured and another group that were constantly hugged, talked to, and sang to, the babies that were ignored grew up dysfunctional and out of touch with society, and the babies that were constantly hugged, loved, and talked to grew up normal, loving, compassionate adults, it all makes sense.
A song released in 1983..with the video setting taking place in 2016... while listening to the song in 2024...God I miss the 80's!!! ❤
Hello, how are you doing today? Thanks for your love and support💖
Their I the human touch whake it happen 💪💪💪🥳. 3:05
RICK is asking questions to Sally ( Siri ) but the things get weird in the video "human touch' when he is dancing with the girl and there is a sinister robotic and demonic voice in the bakckground saying: I am controller, and i want to touch and seize you and make you mine" it may refer that the human race is human farm for the sinister beings who control the world .Rick might know something that we ignore.
All those “ future videos” set in the year ?? …. And they are all now past history. LOVE IT
They didn’t even get a chance to populate the human race
Me good
Seriously underrated. Springfield doesn't get the respect he deserves.
+MechanicalAnimal ikr. just why
+MechanicalAnimal because he *Shatner's* all his videos
So True!
they called him Bruce
MechanicalAnimal Bruce Springsteen also did a song called human touch.

#AbsoluteTruth 💯
To understand what you're mind is capable of he really has the lyrics in his music 🎶 we all need the human touch. 🤔👍💜
It's happening now scared and isolated alone in the modern world.
The 80's were freakin' awesome! 💖
no kidding honey
so many great 80's music videos did the space age sci fi thing.. zz top, autograph, scorpions, rick springfield
only for those who didn't have to live through them.
They sure as hell were.
I'm a 80,s child but southern rockers r listening 🎧🤕🎧🤕🎧 and we like Rick Springfield.get over it 😤😭😔😁🎶😁😁😀😀🪓🪓 u😮😮❤😂🎉😢😮😅😅😊😂😅😊
Weird how the song talks about everyone being addicted to their electronics and not having the "human touch". It's like a prophecy song for today!
Yeah, that's what makes this better sci-fi than "Star Trek into Darkness".

Same with me and still a metal head and still love me some Rick
Same. Much of his music defined the 80s.
Thanks for your sincere compliment, where are you watching from🎻🎻
Him and Loverboy🙃
My friend and I
A song that seems more relevant now then it has when it came out.
Yeah, PC's weren't common at all when this came out. It was 20 years ahead of it's time and keeps getting more relevant.
Prophetic
The computer said the year 2016.. Close enough!
@Pablo D. Martinez How so?
"im so scared and isolated in the modern world" even more true in 2020 than in 1983
Read the bible and trust in the Lord Jesus .he loves you and died for your sins.
We also need it more than ever cause the electile dysfunction experienced in Nov in 2020.
Right? Who knew Rick Springfield was psychic? LOL
The date on the computer said 2016 lol. Who knew it would be prophetic
@@davidblattner2777 no, that was what we experienced in 2016, the problem was cured in 2020.
Brings back such good memories. Sure do miss the 80's. Life seemed so much easier.

Got room for me?
Long live the 80s 110% right
Best decade ever
Good guy
GTA Vice city stories brought me to this magnificent masterpiece. Please don't let this song die!
a mi tambien :)
Him & Corey Hart was my first concert I'd ever been to back in '84. Loved it!

wow he predicted Zoom,Skype, and all their kind. This guy saw the future for sure.
We all do need it!! More 80's music please!!!!!
I ask...... has there ever been a more beautiful man than *Rick Springfield* ? ....I think not!
Denny II actor Robert Rusler looked a little like him. 😂But you're right-doesn't get better.
Great Actor on General Hospital & Singer 👍😊
You could easily say this song was a cautionary tale of things to come🤔
This song and its message, no matter how campy, was ahead of its time. Happy New Year 2016 everyone.
*_6 feet apart these days, I miss THE HUMAN TOUCH!_** Love RS!!!* 👍😍 *Stay Safe and Stay kind Everyone* ✌️
Everybody hoping end of covid-19.
Thanks for being an amazing fan over the years, Thank you so much I LOVE YOU.❤😍

Rick gave a whole new meaning to a sexy mullet in the 80's... perfect everything! He ages like fine wine, he's so beautiful

Probably favorite song from springfield
Haven’t heard this since I was in 5th grade, staying up late watching Friday Night Videos. Those were the days.
In 2024 A.I. got me feeling isolated and alone in a modern world, thank goodness I’m an 80s kid.

I really loved and listened to this song back then!!!
We are in the year 2016 A.D. and we need the human touch more than ever.
Best UA-cam comment ever, sir!
Then there was the Metoo Movement. So much for the human touch as the way we new it. Back in a time when Toxic Mascalenty was not a problem.
ok boomer
we still do, here in 2020 A.D.

When MTV was MTV! Remember?
Until “video killed the radio store” 😂😂😂😂
Hell yes I do! Heavy sigh.....🥺

He’s an amazing prophet. His writing was incredible. Since he was pop..,it’s dismissed. Rick is a god....
Hello
Futuristic before his time the beat is fabulous and visuals are stunning 🤩💝❤️🥰
Really nice
This song needs to make a come back in this modern age
I am a metal head. But I missed everything from the 80's and I mean everything. The pop songs and even some rap songs.
yep. rap was more political then than it was now
A true experiment that proves this song is telling the truth, awhile back in some European country, I think it was Romania, they had a group of babies that were never touched and nurtured and another group that were constantly hugged, talked to, and sang to, the babies that were ignored grew up dysfunctional and out of touch with society, and the babies that were constantly hugged, loved, and talked to grew up normal, loving, compassionate adults, it all makes sense.
We all still need that HUMAN TOUCH in 2019!
Always blowin the roof off the dump! Thank you Mr. Springfield!
As an old fart who was in high school in the 80's I remember this video from back then.
Same.
Me too! However, my 80 plus year old Dad is an old fart. Not me ! 😀
I was out of college when this appeared...
It was released like Sept 1983. My final year in high school.
We aren't old, damn it!
Man what a great tune! It makes a lot of sense today! “2016!” He almost nailed to a “T”
He is a great artist!
I love it!!!
