Snap niet dat Veronica niet gewoon het 'Het Beste van Toppop' maakt met Countdown. Scoort altijd goed op NPO3, ook leuk voor op de vrijdag na Veronica Offside.

[@Mreggieman]

De rechten zijn gekocht door een Amerikaans bedrijf. Ik heb ze ook al een keer op mijn dak gehad omdat ik een optreden van 2 unlimited had gedeeld. (jaren geleden al, en ze hebben zelf het nummer na al die jaren nog niet gedeeld)

Genius! Love you Berlin!🤩♥️♥️👍

What a joyous anthem, too bad it wasn't live playback.

[@clusterchord1]

check the TUBE version, amazing performance they play "you don't know", and then "like flames", and vocals as incredible as on the record ' which is rare to see for a song as demanding on the singer as this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ_Rc2eiicuZns0

[@autk]

Substituted the record for the live, it's a shame because they are playing obviously

[@grandpajoe9851]

My favorite song of theirs

[@dynjarren7523]

I always liked her great voice and her twin tone hair! She’s so cool looking! One of the best voices ever along with Annie Lennox and Chrissy Hynde! 😊 Not sorry but the female singers are better than the male screechers of then and now!

[@gjv2234]

De tijd dat je nog echte pop muziek had. Wat een gave opname is dit. Thx Veronica

[@bertvanspieker]

Zo ongeveer het mooiste nummer ooit gemaakt naar mijn smaak.

This is the best song Berlin do! Why doesn’t the radio ever play it???

[@dynjarren7523]

Because they are cokeheads. And owned by corporate interests.

Some sort of conspiracy I suppose!🧐♥️♥️

WOW!

[@ardwizze9107]

One of the most underrated songs of the 80's. There has to be an explanation for this,

[@onfirepro]

There is. It was a drastic change from their previous sound. Had they been a new band offering their first release, it would have been huge, but there was such a weird vibe with people's expectations of what the "berlin" sound was, and the direction Bob Ezrin took them in production. Old fans were turned off, and talk of sellout quashed any momentum it might have gained with new fans. There was also a lot of conflict within the band about the new direction. It just never gained traction, as deserving as it was. Should have been an anthemic icon of the 80's.

[@autk]

This song was, and the album was heavier but not that far off, my favorite album.

[@stevensheldon4655]

How good are Berlin! ( WOW)🤩♥️♥️👍

[@Canossa43]

What a song! What an original video in the hills. I have it recorded on an old VHS tape and the 12" as well. Terry Nunn is such an unforgettably sexy & hot lady and a great front singer!

[@stevensheldon4655]

How dare you!! A fantastic lead singer!🧐♥️♥️

[@user-ri1ro1fh2w]

Классная чувиха!!! Просто девочка конфетка!😍 Сейчас конечно наверно уже пенсионерка!😂

Dude, it's like one of those music you'd hear when watching an 80's magic fantasy sci-fi movie or something.

[@stevensheldon4655]

Absolutely!♥️👍

Thanks, Countdown 🙏🏼

[@matthewkester3677]

missing Ric Olsen and David Diamond, but oh well, at least John gets to play a real bass on this song

[@robberlin4813]

Why did they cut out some of the lyrics in the music vid ? Listen to the song on the album then watch the video. Some lyrics were taken out.

[@samppaankka2197]

Why are they known only for one song...?

[@connectedonline1060]

Don't forget the song "take my breath away"

[@TheFireline]

@@connectedonline1060 I guess that´s what he/she meant.

[@MelissaClip]

I disagree. They have other hits = The Metro, No More Words, Take My Breath Away, Masquerade...

[@Sean-me4fv]

@@MelissaClip They are considered a one hit wonder, even though they have other great songs.

[@MrPicky]

Berlin was better known in USA than EUROPE - unfortunately 😕 The album this song comes from, Count Three and Pray, is actually very good and should have cemented their popularity but somehow it didn't happen 🙄 The band is back recording and playing live. Last two albums are great 👍

[@captnjack69]

great song . wish it was sung live and not lip sync

[@nole8923]

“Once they would beg and they would plead, but now they demand”. That is part of the song. Where the eff is it here?

Big hair and no makeup, quite the change from their earlier look.

One of the greatest bands ever, but the full playback does not do their talent justice. Well, it was the age of coward tv producers.
