Big Pig Reaction Breakaway (THAT BASELINE THO!?!) | Empress Reacts

[@jasondavidstapleton8337]

the best song that came from 1980 movie Bill and Ted i love this song break away

[@exile220ify]

Bill & Ted came out in 1989, not 1980

[@gavindwyer6249]

I used to see Big Pig live all the time, they were POWERHOUSE!! So dynamic, and intense, and so immensely danceable. Check out their other songs, including Hungry Town, Boy Wonder, Justifier, Iron Lung.

Nice groovin' Empress! I love this song! I remember groovin' to it in my youth. It's from 1988 & they're an Aussie band from Melbourne.

Believe it or not, this is a cover of Chuck Jackson’s “I can’t break away”. You need to listen to the original to really feel the meaning of the song. The original hits you hard, trust me. Please gorgeous Empress, react to that if you get a chance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@raffishizing]

Seconded. This entire album by Big Pig is phenomenal -- who knew political music could be this much fun? -- but ya gotta hear Jackson's original to fully appreciate it.

Two Of Hearts reference!! Love it!

Glad to see this come up. I've been debating on it for a few months as a pick. Most notably used in "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure." I can totally hear the Stacey Q relationship. This was a song that really sounded very different than songs that were contemporary to it. Great pick patron, and great reaction as always.

....BIG PIG!??? ...The Empress is making me OLD, y'all!!! ....she's 'reacting' to my CLUBBING DAYS!! ....ha-HAA!! ...P.S., Pet Shop Boys snatched the 'motif' of the Video, for "Left To My Own Devices"!!

interesring!

[@thenothing2786]

This song is just absolutely amazing! I am so glad you chose it! Definitely subscribing! (P.S Your dancing is super cute)

[@EmpressReacts]

Thank you so much!!

[@thenothing2786]

@@EmpressReacts You are welcome! Keep doing what you are doing!

[@exile220ify]

I concur: you gotta do the ORIGINAL version: Chuck Jackson's "I Can't Break Away". And/or any of the other tracks from Big Pig's debut album "Bonk", which doesn't have a single bad track

[@20Avalanche06]

Pure 80s club. That baseline thumped.

[@rb7007]

Reminds me of an 80s UK group called Heaven 17. Pretty good song! 👍

[@scottvanhille5688]

Thanks Empress and your patrons for picking this one from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure film! (that's the first time I heard it years ago and loved it) This made my day! "In Time" by Robbie Robb was another good one from the film. This is a bop! I hope your patrons highly suggest Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds "Bartender" live at Radio City Music Hall. It's awesome!

[@davejensen7922]

Hungry Town is another great Big Pig number

[@HEAVYMETALmovie1981]

Fun fact: this song was used for the movie Bill and Ted's excellent adventure, starring Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves. Now, try reacting to *Robbi Robb - In time,* with the guitar intro. This version, let alone this song, is *most outstanding!* kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIeTk5mEd82kkNE

[@lamusiclover2264]

I could easily hear Annie Lennox singing this song!!

[@kevindobson3701]

Nation by Big Pig is even better !

[@seanbyrd9164]

How this was not a big hit in America is beyond me! I used to WEAR this song out!

[@EmpressReacts]

[@20Avalanche06]
