[@evanjacoby]

What some younger folks dont understand about the 80's is that it wasn't all glitz, glamour and excess...There was also a pervasive subconcious melancholy, in that we knew these times wouldnt last forever, because we were losing our "collective innocence" on many levels ...This song encapsulates that sentiment entirely, and instantly transports me back to those days... and I smile..

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe thank you for giving us music that had meaning and holds as much value as gold! As an American citizen at an age of 51, today's music is horrific. The music of yesteryear will always be treasured from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70, and 80s. Thank you again!!!

[@siwi666]

there are few songs that remain a classic for decades. This is one of them. Glorious. 👏👏👏

Hell yea

[@devla18]

There are a lot of songs that will remain classic forever 🙂 All of them were released between the 60's and 80's (maybe the early-90's). Popular music has been on a steep slide since the nem millennium 🤔

"What Did I Do to Deserve This" with Dusty Springfield is equal.

[@Olgaanti]

I was a small kid at the end of 1980s in Russia and synth pop mostly meant music from Eastern Germany, Italy and Sweden. British bands were something very chic and classy and more difficult to get a recording of. I still feel this mood of that time. It is a mezmerising combination of both joy, clubbing , dancing and some shade of melancholy.

[@wgenfair]

This is music, fantastic 80's legacy.

[@jackstm2738]

Pet Shop Boys understood that exchanging their 80s synth and drum machine sounds with new sounds does not help the song in any way!! That they keep it as original as possible is a great gift for their listeners. Many other artists make a Techno or unplugged version out of their hits (see Madonna etc.) just because they don‘t want to hear the original anymore. For the price that it totally kills the soul and mood of the song.

[@BENJ1969]

I agree. But there's exceptions. Sometimes sticking to the original isn't necessarily a must. Your examples are good. But my best example is Swing Out Sister, who've built a strong cult following built on alternate, If I may, a more euro-sophisticated approach to their songs, and in doing so have made tremendously appealing versions that fit their long time fans as adults today. "Breakout" is a perfect example of what I mean.

[@Franny5103]

They’re still rocking one of my favorite Pet Shop Boys songs 💙

[@brendadrumm9708]

[@beachlife2968]

Greatest song of the 80s? YES!

[@sak4aak]

Perhaps the most underrated duo of all time. Their ability to make amazing music and still produce stellar live shows some 35+ years later is mind boggling.

[@pa3997]

Really a great duo, but I'm not sure if they are underrated: They sold 100 million records and are for critics among the most highly regarded pop groups since the 80s. Not many groups achieve this kind of critical/commercial success. However, it's still a crime that they never won a Grammy Award.

[@sak4aak]

P B I’m speaking more about their critical acclaim here in the US.

[@delby66]

They are coming to Toronto in September with New Order and my wife, my son and I are going. I can't wait. Haven't been to a concert for so long. I'm 66 now and I loved all this music.

[@Morahey]

It is a social critique that exposes the poverty, hopelessness and lack of opportunities that exist in cities. The song also talks about the difficulty of finding love and connection in a world where people are divided by social class.

[@tarantulaguy1998]

Added lyrics: You can find a place, but no one knows When money talks and streets are gold Someone stands in every door, If they speed they break the law. Ask a question, blank faces, Read the news and turn the pages. Watch them play a different game... ...and no one knows your name. Love it when artists freshen up lyrics for live shows, gives them something new to sing other than repeating the same stuff with every performance. Far as I’m concerned, this is London’s urban anthem. 🕺🕺🙌🏼🙌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🚌🚇🚦💰
