Lyrics:
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced, danced
Born in 1974, growing up an 80s kid nothing beats it. I hope when I pass on the Lord allows me to re watch my 80s years on this earth, pure heaven.
Amen. With you on point brother. born 67. 80's were coming of age excess, lawless fun
@@keithhunt4475 so many things about the 80s were great, I can't name them all.
FN Right Brotha! (or sis ... best ONE hit Wonder gen ... with no antisocial media, iphones, or Mass Shootings! Love my Xgen!
Great song. I love thousands of 80's songs, but this one in.particular is very😊 nostalgic to me.
It's pure magic isn't it??.
@@angelsapparent it's brother, my son changed my name and pic on here, lol. 80s kids didn't need all that social media. All I needed was my bike or some friends or even by myself and I'd be outside all day and night. Simple life back then. Great music, great movies.
The 80s were great can I GET a witness ??!!
Amen!
Amen buddy totally tubular! ❤
Um yeah
Hell Yeah!
Hell yeah! Class of 85' kick's it live
Young people today just have no idea how much better we had it.
Ain't that the truth!
Ummmm, yes we are quite aware. Can't buy a house today without 400 thousand dollars. Could have bought a mini castle back then, even with accounting for inflatation. It's not the part of having it "better", you old people had it so much _easier_
@@SillyGoose2024 30 years ago I brought my house for 60 grand. Last year a family member brought theirs for 600 grand.
Yeah, shame on them
One of the greatest, most uplifting songs of the 80s. Should have been used as a soundtrack in more movies, because it has such a great positive vibe to it
This takes me back.
Used to see Hooters playing at Cavanagh's Bar on Sansom St in Philly back in 1984.
Absolutely agreed. One of the greatest best happiness songs of the 80’s. I have been there as well (literally with having someone in the boot). I miss the drive in days. As for the back seat, well…….
Makes me HATE people from nowadays even more... 🔥😡🔥
I remember first seeing them on the broadcast of the Live Aid show.
Born in 84, this song just feels natural to me
I left the 80's but the 80's will never leave me.
Me neither
Same goes for me, who was only alive for 5 years of that decade... 😄
@@annabrisley1463 mmmmmmmmmm
@ Tom Brody is that approval or disapproval lol. Major Tom :)
I wanna tell you kids, jokin' okay. I grew up in the 60s-70s and loved the music but the eighties were the icing on the cake for me. I have always liked all kinds of music. now it seems we have so little.
Oh the good old days. Wish I could go back to the 80s. Life sucks here in 2020. Who's with me.
I am definitely with you on that
With you, dude
Oops just your probally a girl
Loved this album! They defined my high school experience!
For real! Has anybody come up with a time machine yet?
Im from the UK born in 2000 n still think the 80s is the best music 🤷♂️
This is what fun, freedom and joy looks like.
Ah BIG SIGH!
yes!! 80's is so timeless
Exactly
This song captures the essence of youth! Energy, passion, love, carefree life! Wish I could feel that again! Miss the 80s!
You nailed it!!!...nothing like it...no internet anything..the thrill of liking girls..fun and good times..1975-85 was an amazing time to be young and alive.
Me too!! 🥰
If I could find my way there.....I'm stayin
I recapture part of my youth (I turned 50 in 2021) in the gym. Squat, Bench Deadlift. Rinse repeat!!!
I’m 66 and feeling this again. Such an exciting time for me though eyes being wide open due to life. Biden 🤮
UNEQUIVOCALLY THE 80s were the BEST❤
Ever heard of The Beatles (60s)
Right on!!
This song. The eighties. I’m actually crying right now. Wow things went downhill from there so bad.. i want it BACK..🤦♀️🇺🇸💔
You said it. Every time I listen to these songs I get a gut wrenching feeling that those days are long gone. As Eddie Money said, I Wanna Go Back!
You betcha maggies farm and btw, i ain't gonna work on your farm no more!
@Maximilian Schnabel I wanna go back too...but with foreknowledge I'll actually use. Like, say, inform the IRS about the dealings of a certain infamous New York estate tycoon...
😢
I know EXACTLY how you feel. This world as it is today is NOT meant for me. We didn't understand back then
Remember when this came out back in 1986 and it still kicks ass after 37 years. They just don't make music like this anymore, the 80's were the best.
Timeless classic. These guys were so underrated.
oh yeah they were....
I see this "underrated" comment under a lot of old music vids. I worked at a Top 40 FM station in the '80s, this song was in heavy rotation on both radio and MTV. I am not sure how they could have been exposed more or "rated" higher than they were, whatever that means.
I live right down the road from where this was shot in Exton, PA. The Drive-In is no longer there and a Kohl’s stands in its place yet, on more than one occasion, I have heard this song played more frequently than it should on the in-house Kohl’s music.
I guess someone is trying to keep the spirit alive!
The Spirit is Alive & Well &. I play this & fly.outta bed like a rocket & dance into my jeans & eyeliner & dance outta my home into my car & just keep dancing ~ Very American Spirit outta the gut ~ gals & guts. ~ 👞👠👞🌹
And the bearded hippie at the concession stand is WMMR's own Pierre Robert.
I remember seeing them at a local college in the Poconos, I think it was after the Nervous Nights cd came out.
I know the area well.
Sadly, Pierre has retired and gone.
@@lairdcummings9092 Pierre Robert? No, he's still doing the midday slot for MMR.
When I saw my future husband sing this with his garage band at a summer in the park concert, I knew he was the one..30 years later and we're still going strong.
Do not let the troubles of what we have now take away from the joy we all had then! We lived it, captured it in our hearts, it is our duty to pass it on. Life is trading time for experience. I so love guitar driven rock from the 60s to present and love the intensity it can bring to enriching our lives and others. Never forget to enjoy moments, whether alone or with that 30+ year guy with whom you get to hang out... and rock, and remember! Cheers to both of you! dg
What a nice thing to say, dg, thanks
Congratulations!! 🎉❤️
Here’s to another thirty for you and your husband Amy!! I lost my one because I didn’t appreciate her enough for how awesome she truly is, hold him tight🙂
@@davegordon3935 well said brother!
Please take me back to the 80s. I would sacrifice the internet, I would sacrifice cellphones, and I would sacrifice all the overrated junk from this miserable new millennium. Just take me back to those simpler times.
Right.
No happiness in their music
Giving up the internet and cell phones is no sacrifice
Those times had their bad times, but a list the music was better.
Remember, this is like people in the eighties saying “please take me back to the 40s/50s” ☺️
@@roytore5062 50s nostalgia was actually big in the 80s. In many ways it was a better time.
If this was your cup of tea there is a good chance you were born in the sixties, a child of the 70s, an adolescent in the 80s, a young adult in the 90s, and made it to Y2K in your thirties. That means you got to play in the dirt, rode the hell out of some bicycles, listened to great tunes, and watched genre defining movies! The best part? Those experiences will always be yours!
Well I think you have just about hit the nail on the head with that one. Yay Rock on Man. :)
Absolutely spot on - infinitely better than the world as it is - so much for progress 🙈🙈
Wow! That's me! Very on point my friend 👍😎
Born in the late 60’s
You are spot on!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺What a wonderful youth we had! I was born in 1971!!
This song is never played on the radio in the Netherlands. I only recently discovered this song because of that. Now, it's one of my favorites. It's like a better Bruce Springsteen song!
Great song😊
It's like a better Bruce Springsteen song!
HAHA! I totally agree with that!
I was born in 78 and I have never heard this song before in my life.
That is exactly how I would describe it too though.
I was born in 77
There was something magical about the 60's, 70's and 80's music, those were the best years of my life.
Take me back to 1985 and just leave me forever...
Deloreans are expensive these days........
Thumbs up if this music makes you wish you could go back to the 80s for just one day
I'd go back for much more than a day at this point.
could never go back for one day, would love to spend the rest of my life in the 80s
One day? I'd want at least a year (1985, if I had to pick, but as an adult).
I would run away and never come back
Wish someone would invent a damn time machine already!
The Hooters used to practice in a garage around the corner from my house. They were such good people, always signing autographs and giving kids signed drum heads and sticks👍
Where was that at? Very awesome experience and memory.
willow grove mall 1982
That’s awesome!
Agree ... They left for a tour once from our church/school parking log on Paoli Pike ... very nice to the kids who came out to meet them. (PS ... went to the Exton Drive-In quite often way back when!)
I’m doing a research project about a distant relative for school and my dad told me about the bassist, Fran Smith Jr. Apparently he is my dad’s second cousin and a really awesome dude. I remember meeting him once when I was really little and he had one amazing smile. The coolest part of this to me is that I also play the bass which makes me look up to him more than before. Unfortunately I can’t visit him very often but I do miss him
I was at a college party when I first heard this song. It was April 1986 and I was a junior at Penn State. Some girl was drinking Bartles and James wine coolers and she started singing this song, at the top of her lungs. I barely knew her, but this really left a memory. God, I can't believe that was thirty-six years ago.
Did you ask her to dance? I hope you did.
The Hooters used to play in State
College when I was there, just a bit before you.
Seriously! Is it just me, or does it seem like the 80's were just yesterday? Good times, people were more laid back - society was better then. It was a whole different era.
@@0329Christine I too saw some great bands when I was at university. It seems your contemporaries were more carefree than I was.
1986--A good year for Penn State on the gridiron! 😊
Born in 1969. I lived through the time of the best music, the best movies and some really great times. We didn’t need cell phones or the internet to have a good time. Just fast cars, loose woman and Jack Daniels
Hands down one of the best songs of the entire 80s. Just never gets old
Did we just become best friends?
@@cvcubbington Looks like it
Nah bro, the best song ever!
@@whenlifehitsdifferent Don't let Kanye Ye West know that's your opinion.
Sorry, not to poop on your parade, no where near one the 80s best, pretty w*nk if you ask me, just my opinion though :)
My heart just hurts watching these old videos and reliving the emotions I felt back then.
What an amazing time the 80's were.
I'm able to do that, too... to go to a certain time in my life, concentrate a little, and feel what I was feeling at the time.. it's a powerful thing, and I have often wondered how many people can do it... wondered if it's an unusual ability, or if it's commonplace..
Same
And im only 17
I have a hard time also I get very sad and would love just one more day to go back to this time
The best times man. This work is right dickered now
This song takes me back to a summer night where a bunch of my high school classmates circled up a few dozen cars turned all of our radios full blast to the same station and danced and danced and danced the night away. The 80's were the best!
How fun! ❤
Please tell me that was at a clearing in a cornfield or at a farm/wild space and not a Walmart parking lot!
@@msgypsylady100 at a rival school parking lot after a football game...who knows who won.
I've never heard of dudes getting in a circle and dancing.
Dudes, dudettes, our school, their school, anyone who wanted to join.
1964 for me. Means I was around 20 when this gem of a song was released. What memories!
This took my back to the 80s when I was a teenager. This song is priceless. They don't make music like this anymore. Take me back to the dreamy 80s when music was good. What a great band.
So many good, original bands and songs back then.
@@danhughes8669 yeah and so much garbage today
@@rockandroller8352actually, I think about the last 10 years or so music has been making a comeback.
Couldn't agree more!! I too grew up on the eighties, turned 13 in '83, perfect timing!!!! High School, girls, parties and the music!!!
Would have been late 70's for me but yah same thing, late 70's and80's great music, and people just got along, didn't really care what the other thought, or dressed like or any of that sjw shit. You showed up, rocked out and had fun.
That line, "she could dance all night, shake the paint off the wall" described me to a T in the 80s - a fun-loving 20-something who just loved to dance - nothing to say, simply swept away with emotion, having fun all night dancing! I love this song, it brings me back to a time when nothing mattered more than having an amazingly fun night dancing! 😄
from a former Czerwinski who married a Wisniewski to an olszewski - YES!
Love the wink big girl gives to her potential suitor! He's so nervous & shaken up. Cute clip..The Hooters were amazing!
Same here!
Me too!
Very well put girl!! 👏 . We did the same thing here in Wisconsin.
Well, I never danced. But I remember this on the radio from back in the day. Nothing quite so wonderful as a song that makes you nostalgic for things you never actually experienced, but remember fondly anyway. God damn, I miss the 80s.
I was just a little girl in elementary school but I love my 80s music.
There never was, nor will there ever be, a decade with better music!
Born in the sixties, a teen in the eighties, and grateful to have known and loved the best musical decade of all time. Music that made you feel happy (and also music that you could relate to when you weren't so happy). I feel bad for the kids today that don't know ( and haven't been brought up on )80's rock. There was a real heart and soul to that decade that I don't believe will ever be captured in any future decade. But, at least we had it, albeit for a short time.
@@derekkess5988 Oh, I could never pick a favorite! We were spoilt for choice in the eighties. But, possibly, one of the best songs with a performance video for it (clips of the singer and band performing onstage, pieced together) a song that spoke to so many people, was Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. And then the animated video for Take On Me by the band Aha . Born To Run was the seventies, but the video was the eighties, if I remember correctly, but we are so lucky to have UA-cam to be able to watch and hear the wide range of so many different musical styles that the eighties brought us. Truly a remarkable era!
@@derekkess5988 Hi, I don't really like giving out private information, but I hope that you have a very nice weekend and enjoy your summer.
When I die and go to Heaven I'm gonna ask God if I can live in the 80s for the rest of eternity
Me to
I like that idea
Yes me 2
Hope to see you there :)
Best answer ever!!!
I'm 25, I grew up in my old man's mechanic shop and all I heard was 70s and 80s music and I'm so lucky, I get a very strange nostalgic feeling when I hear this stuff and I'm just so happy I know I can always go back to it and feel the same way every time, Ah man I don't want to be here.
Lots of us would rather be somewhere else mate. Keep your chin up and remember it's the happy hearts who spread the love.
The greatest song ever written.
Yes, I'm serious. This song is a gift from an entity named Happiness, and I wish everyone could feel as alive as I do when I hear this tune.
Greatest song ever written? LMAO
We never realised how good we had it, a magical time to be alive.
My husband and I are in the audience for this video. Exton Drive-In Exton PA near West Chester and Downington. Probably gone now like most of the Drive-Ins.
Dawn Nadjani The Exton Drive-In on 100 near 30 is long gone. 25+ years :(
Dawn Nadjani My cousin is in the audience too.
My husband's kid brother was sound guy for a local band called Borrowed Time and he told us about this filming.
+Dawn Nadjani Yes the drive in has been gone for a long time. The area it was is across from the Exton Square Mall and its a shopping center. Go to google maps and type in 40°1'47"N 75°37'56"W.
+Dawn Nadjani
Luck!!
Yea I miss the 80's and the Drive-in movies.
Me and my girlfriend rollerskated to this song I was 13 she was11 we are now married 5 children she's my life
Thats awesome!
Joseph Hopper very cool!! Congratulations!!
LOVE THIS!!! That's sooo freaking AWESOME!! God bless you and your family!!
That's so cool. Some people are just meant to be together. 💕
That is cooler than cool.
Love this song!! So many memories of 1985 music. My wife and I had a Mother in Law apartment added to our daughters house on eight acres. Just the other day I was listening to this song when my six year old granddaughter came strolling in. She couldn't help but dance with "papa". Loved that moment as much as I did being 21 years old when this came out. Dancing kept me sane.
My music was classic rock, 60s and 70s. But I can appreciate good tunes like this one from a later era.
80s was the best for music fashion and last decade for happiness and fun.
I miss the 80's very much. No other decade even comes close. Music will never be the same or anything else either. It was the best of times.
yup...it was an original time for sure...my era
I love music of the 80's, but going by decade, I'll take the 50's, 60's, and 70's over the 80's.
Brian - zzzzzzzz
The 60's were pretty special as well. lol
sorry you missed the 70s hahahahah
2020 and how I'd love to go back to when life was simpler. Long live the 80's
A portion of the 70's and the whole of the 80's might be America's best era ... and not just music ... but the music will live on because what followed was a slow decline that morphed into the rapid decent we have today. There are no poets. No true musicians. No real artist, just the lowest common denominator of clownish entertainers :-(
Jody Titus Could not agree more
@@ronpeacock91 Well said Ron.
The video looks like it came from The Outsiders movie.
@@ronpeacock91 well put
I was and still am a metal guy. I would not admit, back then, that I liked this song....I will admit it now, lol!
Same here!😂😅😂 LOL LOL
Same brother ! Almost 55 , hair still down to the middle . But , i crank this song any time i can ! 🤘
“As the band began to play out of tune.” What a great lyric! Really, really miss this moment in time.
I never heard This in England in the 80s. I just randomly stumbled on it recently. You can’t get anymore 80s than this though surely!? Love it. Let’s dance!!!
The Hooters were/are a great Philly band ! ... Check them out ! .... VERY enjoyable tunes !!
I first saw this on a programme called 'No Limits' with Jenny Powell presenting it (in the UK) way way back in the good old days.
I saw them live twice in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. 1985 and 1986.
In '85, the British band , The Outfield opened for them.
Was such a good time.
My kid is 17 and he loves the 80s lol, we listen to the 80s together and he loves the songs we listen too. It's sad that his generation will never know what it is to have music like this and what it was like to grow up in the best decade ever. I was only 12 when this song came out, but how I miss those days being a kid in the 80s, I wish we could go back to those simple wonderful days. Feeling so nostalgic now.
It surprises me to find my kids listening to so much of this music. I really don't play much of it, so they are digging it up themselves. It makes me happy thinking they are creating so many memories that they too will fondly reflect upon in later years.
I was born in 85 so I don't remember any of the 80's culture but most of the music I listen to is pre-1990. And I am sooooo not ashamed!!
@@franmiller1381 the culture was as amazing as the music.
I was born in 1995 so missed the 80's and the 90's but i absolutely love the 80's music so many great songs lol i call myself an old soul
I am the same as your kid. I'm 16 but I really should've been born in the 60s or 70s so I could enjoy this music that I love
80s music is amazing and this is an example of that era of music and in general, beautiful and memorable, danceable music. Timeless and ageless. Loved it then and still do, danced to it many times and still makes me want to move when I hear it. So fantastic.
I haven't heard this song in 30 years for some reason I was standing in the kitchen doorway and this song just popped in my head. Punched it in my phone and low and behold a long forgotten song came on. It's sad that music like this doesn't exist anymore. When it came on my mind flashed back to a much simpler time. I don't think the youth of today could handle such magic. For now this is the closest thing we got to a time machine
They wouldn't know what to do with it. They're all completely lost without their phones and all the technology the Terminator warned us about. We're living in the end days/years...can't you hear the trumpets?
The mid 80's I was young, broke, and had the best times of my life!
+Tony W life has worked that way for alot of people..
+Laurie Solonka i miss the madhouse on madison as much as 1985 too
Amazing how much fun you can have with little money and fewer cares.
What a great time to grow up.
Lol..yes wasn't it wonderful...
now your old, broke and the blackhawks suck
I want to go back to the 80s and do it all over again.and again.and again.
Me too...
They only had a couple of hits but they were great songs! I never get tired of hearing them.
Another band from Philly!
And they were never afraid to write great songs for other artists either!
They also launched the solo career of one Cyndi Lauper. Let's not forget that.

And We Danced, Day By Day, All You Zombies
G. Love & The Special Sauce
A beautiful late-summer's eve in Pennsylvania in 1997. Right before I headed off to my freshman year at college. My buddy and I were out cruising in his dad's very roughly restored 4-speed '69 Corvette Stingray, with sidepipes burbling and targa tops removed. We rounded a hairpin corner at this one spot on a local rural road. He dropped a gear and that small block 350 bellowed through the valley literally just as the opening chords to this song came on the FM radio. We were on our way to a party to "meet chicks" (spoiler alert: we failed), but for the remainder of my days on this glorious earth that exact millisecond in time will instantly be reattained when I hear the opening chords to this song. Music is the closest thing we have to time travel. Every sensory perception is magically recreated and I'm suddenly a teenager again with the whole world as my oyster, if only for the brief 3 minutes. An era before I met the love of my life, now sadly gone, and before I became bitter and jaded. I'll never get tired of it nor wishing I could have that time back.
Pro tip, kids: savor every moment and bite off big chews of life and never settle. As an odd coincidence, my soul-sucking corporate job for the last 15+ years is only about a mile from the old Exton, PA drive-in theater where this video was filmed back in 1985. And my unsatisfying marriage also originated within a few scant miles of the same location. Life is 'funny' like that sometimes...
Unfortunately truer words have not been spoken, at 53 now wishing I had known how good life was in the 80's and 90's. Making the best of what I have, but always wonder what could have been
I love the riffs in this song as someone said before femos and karens and having to watch your tongue. The 80s what a time.
Your writing made me yearn for something.
I tell the young folks I know, the years will run, don't waste them.
Take care fellow Gen Xer.
@@montylorenz7150
Same. A bit older than you, and the same generation.
I loved the late 80's and the entire 90's.
I never wanted it to change.
It’s my absolute favorite song. And I love the part where the girl winks at the soda guy and he drops the tray. She’s so obviously into him.
No better feeling for a guy when a girl looks at you like that.
@@alanchamberlain9902 When he's gynophilic and single, anyway.
Amazing singer nice memories back home still listening to his song... How are you Ashley ?
@@ericsmith1786 er, do I know you?
@@ashleylambert1236 Hi. Not really. How are you ?
We were young and invincible. We never thought the last time we danced to this song would be the last time we saw some of our friends.
The Exton Drive-In closed in 1984, but the Hooters filmed this video in July of 1985, shortly before it was demolished.
From the Mall straight to the all night drive-ins of '85 and '86......incredible the amount of detail that I can still remember from that time when I close my eyes.......good stuff.
Heard this today at the dentist. Been a long time. All hail the 80's✌️
It must have been hard not to get up out of dental chair and start dancing and singing, I would have! After song played I would just sit back down, and say okay I'm ready now.
@@RWald8888 I work nights at Walmart, I dance every time this song comes on... People say things get worse as the world gets more advanced... I disagree, there are plenty of other reasons things are getting worse, I blame politics. The internet and some of the world's advancements enable us kids to go back in time and experience this music in a high quality.
And it fades away, with harmonica and the mandolin......just like my teen years. Ahhh, the girlfriends of my youth.... what a time. .
I always liked this song and the video, especially the part where the girl winks at the nerdy guy selling popcorn, a couple of ordinary kids, like most of us were, finding young love. Really positive song.
Most underrated song of the 80s BAR NONE.
After all these years it still gives me goose bumps.
I concur
Came back today 💕
Hah, I'm an old lady of the 60's & 70's and love this song! Yeah, very underrated song and group.
(Haircut 100 has entered the chat)
I miss the 80s so much it hurts, the music, the peace, the positivity, and the general outlook of things going well. i do not think that will ever come back. politics now are about how bad things are and the hatred of the past.
I agree
Thats on the douchacrats!
I was born in the cold of 1986, so my childhood was in the 90s which, to be fair, was still populated by the echo of 80s music whilst trying to find its own voice. Im glad I was born when I was, because my mind was saturated with great music. Especially with my mother adding 50s 60s and 70s music to it as well. A great time to be born, but a sad one that the best days of music are well behind us.
The modern world sometimes comes out with some gems, but they are few and far between for me 🤷♂️
This makes me homesick for a time I never lived in and place that I’m not sure still exists
It is out there ~ just play this song & grab a gal's hand & dance 🌹

I remember this was the first song I heard on the radio as my parents drove our brand new 1986 Pontiac off the lot. The '80's were great.
Strange, Feeling nostalgic for a time before I even existed. Strange and yet oddly comforting.
Well said freddie, the 80's were a cool time a lot of good music back then. It was upbeat even a little innocent but it made you feel good, no matter what your circumstances.
It really was we will try to make it for you again Keep the Faith!
It's called Anemoia Nostalgia. Nostalgia for a time you never experienced. I feel it too watching this video. It's the notes played in the song and the visuals crafted together to make everyone even those who did not live in the 80s experience nostalgia. Whoever made this video and song knew how to tap into this stuff it's pretty amazing.
You’re honorably admitted
Born in 1975, but I remember it well, background to events occuring in my life.
I was in my 20s in the 80s, best times of my life. I want it back. Music was so much better back then, the bands had to actually be able to play instruments and sing in tune. No auto tune to fix it, just talent.
NEVER live in the PAST
@@BBAKER22 Try to stay in the present.
...and we danced. I just want to dance each time I listen to this song... aaaaaaah the 80s :)
The 80's will never grow old!

This has the most 80’s dancing ever filmed
Those keys in the trunk remind of the time me and my buddies were cruising Gratiot and we ran into some friends at a gas station. They had left their keys in the trunk lock as they were filling up
and my buddy grabbed them. We drove around for almost an hour and they were stuck at the gas station with no keys…we tossed them back and we all had a good laugh. No guns, no violence, no crazy crap… just Gen Xers out cruising on Friday night in the 80s…..
Sometimes a song is perfect. This is one of those times
Discovered this band in the 80’s and still love them today.
Thank you!
Man.. Lately UA-cam is just suggesting so many of my favorite song from my youth. I am about to turn 61, but I feel like I'm in my 20's. Luv this song.
This song in my opinion was one of the greatest of the 80s. It still uplifts me takes me back to times gone by. But everytime I hear it I smile like I was back there. This song transcends time. All great songs do.
We need more mandolin/melodica pairings in music today.
+James Leffel Walk off the Earth has some awesome songs with all kinds of instruments :)
+James Leffel John Mellencamps Rocking in the USA has a great flute-solo - great tune
In what way is a flute a melodica or mandolin? GET IT TOGETHER, MAN!
+James Leffel viva le Melodica
+James Leffel And yet neither one of these instruments appears in the video. Way to go, 1980s.
As soon as I hear the melodica in the intro I am 15 years old again.
I never had the chance to live in the 80s, but with songs like these, I feel like I did :D
I want to go back to the 80’s when I was in my 20’s, no responsibilities and life was so much fun, if someone builds a Time Machine, I’ll be waiting to,be picked up from Australia please. ❤
Best decade, best music, best times. Oh, to be a teenager again!
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal performances of 80s classic songs on my YT channel. Covers include Sting, Prince, George Michael, Phil Collins, Tom Petty, Kenny Loggins, the Hooters, Billy Joel, Earth Wind & Fire, plus a couple of '010s classics from Bruno Mars and Coldplay. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and peace.
It was hands down.
I was a kid in the 80s... even better
@@fml5910 so true
✌
The days when party's and dancing was cool we're have those day's gone will we ever see them again.
Long live the 80's.
I know how you feel brother, but I try to remember, to not cry because it's over, but to smile because it happened.
@@chesterwalker4566 I feel blessed I lived the 80's.
@@lambrosm770 Amen brother, so do I. The 80's were unique, with so much to see and experience. Take care, us veterans of the 80's are getting far and few.
Great song. Love the lyrics " The room was spinning and she whispers my name!"
Wow bringing back memories! From the Exton Drive-In on Lancaster Pike, to seeing them live at JFK Stadium in July of 1985 representing Philly at Live Aid? Thank You!
I always loved this song. Hard to believe it only reached #21 on the charts in October of 1985.
But is an iconic 80's song. Everybody remembers it.

Rob Hyman, Hooters keyboard player, wrote 'Time After Time' (Cyndi Lauper) and made LOADS of dosh off of it. The Hooters also played on Patty Smyth's album and co-wrote the title track 'Never Enough', which is also a great song.
Baji Kimran The music scene in the 80's was brutal and divided. It was the Rise of AC/DC, Metal. The birth of hip-hop also caught on big in 1985 with RunDMC going mainstream. Some great artist got kinda lost in the shuffle.
Baji Kimran is it 30 years already? I thought maybe late 80s, but yea 30 years wow
Yep, it makes you wonder where all the time went. It's all fun and games till you learn it takes more than monopoly money to survive.
Summer of ‘85 Long Beach Island NJ and this song will always live in my head forever.
This reminds me of my daughter who I miss desperately. We used to laugh at the film clip and loved the song. I miss that and her.
I was born in 99 but I only listen to the oldies
People like you will keep the music alive.
I still LOVE The Hooters after all these years! My friends and I used to go to every show they played at Blondie's outside of Atlantic City. I was 20, now I'm 60! OMG they are still fabulous and they bring back some really great memories...❤️❤️❤️
2024 I'm here cause just found this gem on an old mix cassette in my 99 trans am.
🇺🇲🌍👍
I'll be damned. I was working on the TTops for my 85 Mustang GT today starting watching old videos on supper break. I think a new sound system is probably coming soon to make a summer cruise night in the old crate. Keep the TA on the road!
YOU ARE COOL 😊
The hooters were one of a kind. A truly great band with some really great songs.the hooter was a difference maker.
I was active duty Navy stationed in Charleston SC. My Mom from Wilmington DE came down to visit. She told me later that on the return flight to Philly a band was singing and dancing in the aisle during the flight back. It was The Hooters. She wasn't into rock but she thought it was so cool.
This song might have been the 200th best song of the 80s. Today it would be #1 with nothing else close. Sad.
Still one of the best songs I have ever heard.
Good melody, good beat, good musicians and the song tells a story. It doesn't get any better than that.
Makes you forget your troubles and dance them away.LOVE THIS SONG TO DEATH
Lisa Walz yea,itsuredoes.

Saw at UCONN @1987 and was amazed at the versatility of their instrumentalist-many played multiple pieces
Poor you
This song is still a brilliant song on the radio in 2024 and many years to come.
Straight 80’s classic, back seat with my girlfriend
ahhh-- to go back to the good ol' days..... I wouldn't trade being a teenager/in college in the '80's for anything!
I never heard this before, but its so nice! Love the 80s!!!!
I heard this song several times. didn't know who sang it.
tHE HOOTERS WERE A REALLY FUN BAND TO SEE IN CONCERT' THEY REALLY GOT THE AUDIENCE INVOLVED.
Im not american, so i dont have chance to see them. :/
alohaforeveryone that's too bad! I saw them at a college so I was leaning up against the stage. Took my Boo months to find their record for me!
80's the Music was amazing and never will be that good again, once in a lifetime
If i could sum up the groove, country, rock, and jazz genre into a single song i think we have it.
Can't tell you how many times I danced to this song...420. Braless...
