[@mindriot69]

I was friends with David “Frenchy” O’Brien (Animotion’s drummer) through my mom (who he worked with in the Los Angeles Library system). He always used to give me & my friends tickets to his shows when he was with Red Zone and then Animotion. He would also give me tickets to other clubs when he had extras. I lost touch with him after the death of my mother in 2002. This video came up on my KZbin recommendations so I started watching it and looked up Frenchy online… That’s when I found out he passed away in 2019 at the age of 71. He was a prince of a person. My mom found him to be one of the funniest people she ever met. He was always helpful with advice for me regarding music and the bands I played in. Rest well, Frenchy. Thanks for being a beautiful soul. Say hello to my mom. ✌🏽❤️💔

OMG! Was that the library on Robertson? Because I think that’s how I got tickets 🎟️ when I was a kid. My best friend somehow knew them, and I remember talking about drums with him at the library 📚 because I played drums 🥁 as well. What a small world.

[@mindriot69]

@@theunknownatheist3815 Frenchy worked with my mom for years at the Palms/ Rancho Park location on Overland Ave. However… Frenchy did work out of many different branches. He would go fill in, etc. He was a sweet guy and ALWAYS loved to talk about music be it the bands he was in or music in general.

@@kt1pl2 Firstly, they said stalker/creep, & I'll die on the hill that the male protagonist in that song is a creep. He straight-up ridicules, threatens, & gaslights her in the lyrics. He acts as if her accomplishments are solely due to HIS efforts. Plus when you read meaning into the lyrics, he's exhibiting stalker-like behavior, e.g. not taking "no" as an answer, not believing/wanting to abide by the fact that she says she doesn't want to see him. Perhaps he wasn't expecting a break-up, but his reaction is telling. He's not broken-hearted that she left, he's PISSED that she had the nerve to leave him without his permission. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too. Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby?"

In 1985 I was a teenage metalhead, long hair, wearing the leather jacket, Iron Maiden t-shirt and smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. But I was also a music fan, so I would be taping whatever songs I felt were catchy from the radio on those shitty clear no-name cassettes. Obsession was one of them. Listened to this, pretty much all year (along with Zeppelin, Maiden, etc) on my family trip to Florida, when I skipped off school, when I got my first real job, etc. Obsession will always transport me back to 1985. That's my story.

You just described my teen years, as well as most of my friends. A few of us had denim jackets, but other than that you described 1985 perfectly.

Back in 1985, they changed the recipie in Coke and they called it "New Coke". The result was so bad that after just 3 months, they went back to the original formula and released it as "Classic Coke".

Same, but I had outgrown metal by 1984, got my hair cut and got into Spandau Ballet, Alphaville, Modern Talking, the Cure, INXS, and other New wave/Romantic bands. Still love the classic metal bands, though.

[@christinamarcet1780]

Growing up in the 80s, my first exposure to this song was at a the roller rink as a kid. I remember it! The second this song started, the DJ brought all the house lights down but these flashing purple lights and lasers of some sort, and of course a disco ball was deployed, raining its reflections throughout the room. People starting pouring into the rink from the sidelines, and there we were, racing around the circular track with this new sound PUMPING out of the sound system, our minds blown by those synthesized blasts. There hadn't been a song like this before -- it was breaking ground. I never saw the visuals of the video until today -- personally I think the song is better, grittier, if you don't know what the singers looked like. Watching this on a laptop today delivers only a fraction of the magic that was hearing it in such a dark and kinetic setting, all of us in motion, on wheels and at speed. I would love to experience this in a roller rink again!

[@raymondstorey1257]

It's one of those absolutely perfect songs isn't it there seemed to be so many gems from the 80s I can only assume that the work ethic was creating art and now it's about success and profit somewhere along the way the music business sold out

[@senorverde09]

@@raymondstorey1257 This song is actually a cover.

[@MinekEzQM]

TBH I never heard of them. Still being bhind the Iron Curtain in the mid '80s we got a just little bit of German and Brit synth pop, but almost nothing from the US. This video popped up in my YT feed today. They sound great and fun.

Of all the 80's memories this brings, Saturday Night's Main Event is the overriding one for me.

[@LosAngeles_213]

Right! It always stuck in my childhood Years watching it and remembering how everything was at that moment.

[@jonmolina948]

I remember this was the opening. _Take Me Home_ was the closing song.

[@toddforhetz]

Only those of us who were young and having fun in the 80's can really appreciate them ! It was the BEST of times ! We embraced life and everything was fun ! Great music ! Great dancing ! Great videos ! We had it ALLLLLLL ! I would go back, in a second !!!!!

[@russellking9762]

i'm a 60's child i was there...no cellphones...no social media....we didn't need it...the 70's-80's vibe was unreal...you had to be there

[@mrpositronia]

I was born in the mid 70s, so I consider myself an 80s kid. While I agree it was great to hear all these songs for the first time, when they came out, I disagree that 'only those who were young enough can really appreciate it'. Anyone can appreciate it, if they actually appreciate it. That's like saying only those who were in attendance of Mozart playing the piano can appreciate him. People will always appreciate it.

[@sebastianbarrios2760]

great videos?? u blind? we had it all, but videos nope...

[@ooo4616]

Bloody heck! I haven't heard this in decades. I danced and danced to this in the 80s. There were so many different clubs back then and so many dance floors. Now all there are is sports pubs with a tiny square where the owner switches on the disco lights on Friday and Saturdays. This track is awesome.

[@coolbluelights]

I love how 80s music was so over the top. today's music is sadly lacking.

[@coolbluelights]

I'm part of that mini generation born in the late 70s-early 80s. born 1980. half X half Milennial. I have the qualities of both

[@coolbluelights]

it's a gray area. I tend to group myself more strongly with millenials. I can see a big difference between someone born in say 1975 vs 1980. I was too young to get into MTV till it was already on its way out in the mid 90s. Millenials are more likely to still be living with their parents after 25. I definitely fit into that category, even working full time.

[@MIKECNW]

Somebody was saying the same thing back then.

[@rainman3377]

+coolbluelights. well a 36 year old is to old to be millennial. they are 25 and younger. Anyone that watched He Man when it was new in the 1980s is not the new generation. lol.
