[@adrianhudson1116]

We didn't need gyms in the 80s, we all danced for at least 10 hours a week with healthy smiles on our faces

[@traviswolf]

Absolute powerhouse of a track. Blancmange is the unsung hero of 80's bangers.

[@kaiam6378]

Agreed!!! I remember in high school, we used to have muchmusic video dances!! lol.. This was where I first heard it and love it still to this day.

[@traviswolf]

⁠@@kaiam6378your high school sounds like it was way more interesting than mine 😉

Ah, the 1980’s. Excellent. Bravo, Neil and Stephen.

80's KROQ 106.7 in Pasadena California ❤❤

[@NicholasMew]

Straight up, these two guys just seem like a hell of a lot of fun. Making happy music and having a great time doing it.

[@lewis72]

Many bands in the '80s seemed to be similar. Look at Madness, they look as though it was just a bunch of friends having fun.

Absolutely . Not to mention that infectious smile.

They were the best your right 👍

[@jacquelineiona1996]

First time I'm listening ...I'm 58 years old! We needed a KROQ in Philly!!!! Wished we did ....trying to find this kind of music was like mining for gold!!!! And it still shines 🎶🙂🎵👍🏻💖

[@luiscasillasjr.3916]

Richard Blade, KROQ d.j., was responsible for bringing great new wave music to the masses! Blancmange, Depeche Mode, The Smiths...so many more! Look him up!

Brilliant miss the 80s .you don't look 58 I'm 57 this year

[@Choochoo535]

Wow 😮 seriously these were big back in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 81 I was 11 and my fav band at the time then along came Wham and George Michael 😅 Blancmange always hold a special place in my heart

[@skenthome]

Dont worry. We loved Philly music in the UK!

[@rokit430]

Glad you found this kinda music...I made it through the 80s with these and others. Blancmange were a gem of a band. Not one Hit wonder. Awesome Dance..and Timeless. Love to you from U.K.❤❤❤

[@Caratacus1]

I'd forgotten that this vid was done in Valencia. Neil's occasional awkwardness with the dancers and the fact that they all keep bursting into laughter is endearing.

[@amg9163]

Neil definitely grew into his looks. No longer the awkward young man, now he's a hot silver fox 😍

[@user-yc5um2pl5v]

@@amg9163 Yeah, he looks amazing for his age!

[@pendragonU]

@@amg9163 the easy grinning is still the same

[@EnnioRome]

Aahh so the video was shot in Valencia; that he was in Spain there was no doubt; from some frames of the clip I thought they were in Ibiza because of the semi-torn poster that appeared for a few seconds behind them claiming a Depeche Mode live show in the historic Pacha club

Oh how I wish we could go back to those days...especially 1983 and 1984 😢😢

[@leeholmes26]

Went to see howard jones at Newcastle a few weeks ago and blancmange were supporting. Brilliant night. I always look at gigs like that as 2 fo1. Great stuff. ❤ the 80s, 😊

[@simonroberts5882]

Just to reiterate,this band were so underrated in the 80s !👍

[@keithwalmsley1830]

Love this song, recalls a more innocent, happy time!

[@williamkinsey8174]

Here here my thoughts exactly

[@6581punk]

True, these says some Twitter user would be moaning about the using of Indian drums and calling it appropriation.

[@v-town1980]

​@@6581punkNail on the head. Yet they're fine with making a queen of England blk.

[@NuGanjaTron]

One of the most underrated synth riffs ever. Fantastic combination with the sitars. Blew me away back in the day.

[@sjaool]

This song sounds still as fresh as when it was recorded. It's one of my all time favourites. The drive this song has is crazy!

[@mikehagmaier3949]

I vividly remember this song playing in the back of my head when I first met and chatted with my first girlfriend back in high school. Such a strong and wonderful memory from 38 years ago. Hope you’re well Jessica, wherever you may be.

[@tomazznidarko8700]

One of the best songs all time. I'm the kidd of the 80's even I'm now closer to my 60's then to my 50's. I still very much miss those days when real music was made.

[@gordogarcia-yq7ou]

Merci à nos amis britanniques pour toute cette fantastique période musicale des années 80.

[@simmadpaul2880]

Pure 80s brilliance.

[@elaineoneill6645]

Loved this when I was teenager i had a crush on Neil

[@onefourfivefilms]

A song with joy. A rarity

[@GabrielHernandez-uu2wn]

Found this gem in No Man's Land 1987 a movie with Charlie Sheen. Download it on my phone, and can't stop listening to it. The 80s will always stay in my heart.

[@markdurrant4174]

A absolute pleasure to hear this again a very underrated band 👍🏼

[@c.w_]

The percussion is amazing. What a composition!

[@Mymumsey1]

I was today years old when I found out that Blancmange is a sweet dessert popular in Europe.

[@CBLounge2112]

One of my all time favorites!! Brings me back to my teen years growing up in Valencia California and working at Six Flags Magic Mountain, trippy because this video was shot in Valencia Spain!!

[@johnstjohn6658]

Didn't Magic Mountain used to have decent concerts? We'd drive up from Riverside to ride the rides and check out bands.

[@fisherfmen]

I thought that was sevilla

[@daveh1081]

Brilliant memories of the 80's! I wonder where it was shot?

[@VaultPete]

1984 Whata a year ot was, i was 19. The music in Liverpool was very big back then. Lots of big night clubs. Life was great . Not a care in the world.

masterclass in how you spend the record label's money.

[@anthonyperkins7556]

I like the use of the Indian tabla drum in different pitches, similar to indian films.

[@AidanCasserlyHome]

Wonderful song and Neil is a top bloke. I opened for Blancmange here in Dublin a few years back with my synth project KuBO and shared a pint of Guinness with Neil

[@Electropterodactyl]

great song

[@caeserromero3013]

The riff sounds a bit like Manic Monday. This came out in '84 and Price Wrote Manic Monday in '84 but it wasn't widely known until the Bangles covered it in '86 so there's no possibility of one influencing the other, so probably one of those happy accidents of life...great minds think alike!

[@flashback1123]

They ripped off a 1983 South African afro disco record. Search: "Manyane - Thabong (1983)

​@@flashback1123Yes they are indeed one in the same track to my ears. The only image I can see of the record sticker (vocal mix) says copyright 1984. I'd be interested to hear the 83 version.
