I was 18 when this came out in 1987. What a privilege it was to grow up in the 80's with such great bands!

[@maxmillion6428]

Ditto that! I had no idea at the time what an absolute magical time I was living through. The music, the girls, the parties, and ah, youth!

[@creightonjason]

I was 16, 80's were an amazing time

[@Martin-rs8qz]

I was 17. Proud 80s teenager when the bands back then made classy videos like this.

[@melizzle204]

I‘m 26 and I wish I could’ve experienced the 80s🥺 I hope u had the BEST time!✨⭐️🤍

Hands down, ABC one of the greatest bands of the 80's, not to mention the masterful lyrics, damn they could turn a lyric, and draw you right in.

[@krisstopher8259]

this song and many other 80's songs transport me to a different era when music was like magic

[@s.k.9401]

Martin fry, what a voice

[@manoman0]

His voice is perfect for a narrator. Love it.

[@thouser1553]

After 30 years I can still close my eyes and feel the vibe from that stuff at the club. This was such a great tune. Chicks in there were pretty and everyone was having such a great time. Thank god some of my friends still live nearby.

[@Moechtegernpilot1]

Pretty girls are a rare sight. I am definitely not the most attractive man out there myself but his is just how I feel

[@user-sd9uc7ch9u]

Yo siempre relacione esta cancion con lo ultimo del breakdance que elegante single❤😊

[@zeelidium]

I was born in 1981. I can smell the whole era, the feeling, the 80's........

[@Karlo2105]

80's are the summary of the greatest music.

[@mimiweeks6919]

This is still my favourite ABC song. I remembered recording this song off the radio onto my Boots Roller radio/cassette player and had to ask a school friend who it was as I'd missed the beginning!

[@Milesco]

Yeah, it's my favorite ABC song, too! 👍 🎵

[@justinrgray4979]

Thank you KZbin for being a better Music Television station than MTV

[@thierryvandevelde6243]

What a funky bass line, what a beautiful variety of instruments, energy... Good taste and yes many of us regret the 80s in which music mattered more than today.

[@SuperZedd]

Thierry Van de Velde Bernard Edwards 😎

[@angeloronzoni]

bernardedwards-esque

[@panismith1544]

Master piece

[@dystopian2153]

Agree!

[@rickastley9979]

1:44 phoebe waller-bridge looking really good lately

[@EddieSLX]

FYI this song was co-produced with the late great legend that is Mr Bernard Edwards of CHIC fame, this is one of his bass lines which explains the super funky feel. Nile Rodgers & Bernard are responsible for some of the biggest hit's during the 80-90's for artists like D Bowie (lets dance), Madonna(material girl), duran-duran, diana ross, sister sledge.. the list goes on. and not forgetting Niles current work with daft punk and others. According to Nile about a billion $ worth of music to date , RIP Mr Edwards

[@SeyramButame]

+Kilo kID Thank you for that information. I knew I recognized that sound.

[@jonblazeinc]

Now you laid that information out I can hear the chic-ish sound in this song so makes sense

[@marvinjones4415]

@@jonblazeinc I wonder if that's Nile uncredited on rhythm guitar.

[@elsongs]

This song was a perfect call-back to their "Lexicon of Love" era!

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Inspired by but not played by Bernard Edwards: Brad Lang - bass guitar on the Alphabet City album.

[@Burgieking1]

Fantastic song from the excellent Alphabet City album

[@strictlynorton]

Co produced by Chic's Bernard Edwards, an elite and under loved masterpiece imho.

[@abcdggd1943]

[@tvc153]

This whole album is amazing.

[@lukeduggan1848]

Forgotten about how brilliant this song is.

[@2bsure]

Martin Fry was a cool looking dude like Bryan Ferry. Loved this groups music, Lexicon Of Love is still one of my all time fav albums. Lyrically brilliant!!!

[@freelanceer]

Totally, he looks like a Swedish Bryan Ferry.

[@andreakimwilliams1224]

I think he was one of the sexiest men of the 80s

[@Dilberto88]

Green Gartside clearly emulated Martin Fry.

[@manoman0]

Notice that his voice were ideal as a narrator.

[@marcusfistarol8270]

Everything sounds the same today. Good to have youtube to stay where my heart is and ever will. I miss the 80s

[@vb8625]

One of my favourite songs of the 80s

[@Milesco]

Mine, too! 👍🎵

[@torybrown7730]

There was a lot of damn good music out of the 60's, 70's & the 80's. Of all the new romantics I loved Spandau Ballet & ABC. The music was melodic, tasteful & so romantic & sexy. The songwriters were truly AMAZING.

[@garycarr3857]

[@jeffdawson2786]

The excess, the trivial, the fashions, hairdos and attitudes. Was it ever so delightful as in an ABC video? ♡

[@louisecampbell2628]

80's music.........timeless. it will live on always

[@Dilberto88]

The most under-rated ABC song, ever. The 1980s music blows away anything made today. Side note: Lol, Mark White is using a steel Parlor Resonator Bluegrass guitar in this video!

[@bunnyfish714]

who else loves 1980's music ?

[@gagilaki8319]

Me!

[@soniadorsi3394]

Me too! 😃

[@the80sliveagain63]

Is that even a question till the day I will love the 80s music.

[@Cifuentes2010]

I'm a Gen Y and I like a lot of 80's songs.

[@zagortenay114]

Ri-me!!!!!

[@jeffk9379]

Voice is velvet. What a style: soooo chic... Loved this band since the very first note. Thanks much for posting.

[@Parasmunt]

One of the very best of the new wave groups. I think some of their songs are high art.

[@Volgin93]

Because THIS was music.

[@djs-9942]

OLDER I GET, BETTER it sounds & hits the soul 🎸

[@zenileon]

Aaaaaah! The late eighties ........... What a wonderful time that was!!! I could cry a river, I really could!!! This decade has that same sort of do-anything feel about it also, we should soak the atmosphere right up!!! Its one to remember boys and girls!

[@urielfrancoherrera2095]

FELICITACIONES EXCELENTE TEMA Y EXCELENTE GRUPO MUSICAL....

[@miguel3k]

Fabulous song. ABC have always done that disaffected cool thing really well. The bassline and guitar on this are disgustingly funky. You can hear the influence of Chic’s Bernard Edwards, who produced this cut.

[@robertbutenhoff]

As well as Nile Rodgers!

[@philspivey7976]

ABC have always had great bass lines. Love them.

[@maggiefollett636]

[@kathykalifornia6096]

British pop is so good especially from the 80s. Martin Fry is so smashing!

[@jakobite15]

I have only just discovered this song but I love it! Seeing ABC in Bournemouth on Saturday .

[@studiobencivengamarcusbenc5272]

This is the ideal pop song and Martin Fry gives it the character edge

Thanks for the info.Mr Edwards put his signature on lots of tracks,may he rest in peace.

[@JC19676]

Brad Lang. He also played on ABC's Lexicon Of Love album. He played the bass on the entire Alphabet City album.Lang was a UK session bassist who also played with Wham.

Their lyrics are so reflective, such depth in, what are at the end of the day, pop tunes

[@Milesco]

It's one of my all-time favorites.

[@anthonycbrown1952]

Something about that vantage point @0:35 gives me chills when you think about the history and beauty of the city. There is some great staging in this video and presents Paris in a beautiful light.

[@patrickstocks3986]

From an early age I was taught to respect That a broken heart girl Ain't a thing you collect Close your eyes and say Nothing lasts a day You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you Close your eyes and say Honour love obey You're wasting my time Yet I love to love you It's cold outside The night love died On the night you murdered love It's cold outside The night love died On the night you murdered love January, February, March and April May June July sees you go by I see love walk away Didn't use a blade A bullet or a gun You poisoned the moonlight It's cold outside The night love died On the night you murdered love

[@donniejohnson7439]

Recently begin reopening the discographies of Thompson twins, Wall of Voodoo, Tears for Fears, and these exquisite gentleman right here. Not the hits mind you but every album track by track. I’ve rediscovered the hidden songs of my childhood that MTV didn’t bother to show and I found mini beautiful dated treasures in this great journey...But this one tops them all

[@arsenjaho8854]

Classic song. I remember recording this song in tape in my panasonic sc pm28, around 2004 or 2005. I know it was more than 17 years after this song came out, but even today this superhit remains superb!

[@garyblinston193]

Just seen ABC twice in 8 days (40th Anniversary of Lexicon of Love tour) and still sound brilliant and yes Martin also did this fantastic song. Given how well Lexicon and other ABC tunes have aged they must be one of the very best UK 80s bands. Come on Martin lets have a new Album.
