We just going to ignore thats possibly the BEST bassline from the entire 80's?

[@carlgibbons5777]

LOL! It's a great bass line, but all of Mark King's bass lines are great. Many I like more than this song.

John Taylor Rio might top this?

[@tommytaylor4139]

No way!!, quality music!!

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

Mark King, great bassist, but surely, Duran Duran, RIo, John Taylor takes that title?

[@mthraves]

I've seen Level 42 many times since the 80's, last time was a year ago and they're still an amazing live band. Mark King is an amazing bassist alongside Mike Lindup on the keyboards, always worth seeing if you get a chance.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Their singer after has a super unique voice, it’s British and soulful at the same time. Their song “Leaving Me Now” is awesome too.

[@davidolson2729]

I can’t believe this reaction was today. It was one of my mom’s favorite songs. She died from cancer on this day 4 years ago. Another reactor did “Gimme Shelter” today, again one of her favorites. Blown away! Coincidence? Probably, don’t care. Miss her more than anything, a reminder of how much music can trigger memories. Thank you.

The 80's were so romantic you could fall in love anytime, anywhere with just a look and a smile. The group ABC did a song, The Look of Love

[@johnstjohn6658]

ABC (Lexicon of Love LP), Heaven 17 (Let Me Go or Temptation) Spandau Ballet (Chant No. 1), Fashion (Love Shadow), Gang of Four (Is It Love),... So many Soulboys were breaking through thanks to MTv and radio stations like KROQ.

Great band! Kind of hard to tell from this more radio friendly cut, but Mark King is an absolute beast on the bass. One of the best. ‘Hot Water’ is a great track to demonstrate. Their live stuff is amazing!

OMG! I hadn't heard this song in like 20 years. I had forgotten how much I like it.

[@5891jonathan]

The quintessential 80s song - gated drums, synth, slapped bass, it’s all there. And I have the album on cassette tape!

[@chrisoakley5830]

Cool, I still have many of my cassettes from the 80s.

[@williamweiss6128]

Mark King is a beast. Subtly amazing us with his bass playing.

[@paulfromt.o.7384]

Damn lots of memories of high school mid 80's. Haven't heard this song in ages. Mark King had a great bass sound that worked so good with the electronic back then.

[@DreamsSketcher]

I hear ya Paul. 15 in high school just a bit northwest of you. Vivid memories. Great times!

[@takemyshoesoff3350]

I miss those times.

[@3912James]

HS Class of 1986!!! 👍

[@Shrykespeare]

Probably my favorite band of all time. In the US, they only had a handful of hits (this and "Lessons in Love" were the biggest), but they put out over a dozen albums that fused jazz, pop, rock, and funk in a way that I'd never heard before. Lead singer Mark King is one of the best bass players in the last 50 years, and the falsetto of Mike Lindup just takes the vocals to a new level. Their catalog is deep, but few (if any reactors) go much more than one or two songs deep into them. Some of their other wonderful songs include "Kansas City Milkman", "To Be With You Again", "Her Big Day", "Guaranteed", "Leaving Me Now", "Lying Still", "Micro-Kid", "The Machine Stops", and so many more. Thank you so much for reacting!! (Fun fact - Mark King is the only rock star I ever had my picture taken with, as a gawky 17 year old. Good times.)

[@heidie2081]

My favorite of theirs is "Children Say".

[@adelvecchio1029]

This is my all-time favorite song. The lyrics are fantastic and the lead singer also plays slap bass, which is just amazing.

[@BlackHatCinephile]

I've tried a ton of times to get reactors to do this one. Thanks👍

[@CLRoess]

Glad you got some Level 42 up in here! I’ve been checking around KZbin reactors looking for this band for the past year and there just ain’t many reactions to Level 42. So Thank you guys!!!

[@j4wn]

About time Level 42 got some air time. You'll love these. Some more Level 42: Hot Water, Love Games, Sun Goes Down, Lessons in Love, Take a Look. Enjoy!

[@johngray225]

My all time favorite song. Remember seeing the video for the first time back in the 80’s my high school and college years. Great times

Still to this day.

[@geoffn54]

Great number. Love the production, and such a positive vibe.

[@jasonfirewalker3595]

The number 42 is especially significant to fans of science fiction novelist Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,” because that number is the answer given by a supercomputer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.”

[@barriehull7076]

Level 42 was a floor in a Dr who story as well.

Lex and Brad loves new wave music. 😇 wish yall had watched the music video, oh well next time. Level 42 is like Howard Jones, ABC, Fine Young Cannibals, Wang Chung, Thompson Twins, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, and others. Funky, great bass guitars, synthesizers, R&B ish new wave. We loved it as kids (GenX) back in the '80s, early '90s.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Lex you have loved living in the 80s truly a different time back then. This brings back High School memories for me🤔

[@markstromberg1148]

I love the harmonies in this song. And it may be because this song "broke," and was popular, during the summer, but this song always reminds me of summer. I remember being in Pensacola with my mates in the 80s, dancing to this song, and feeling like I would ALWAYS love this song. And I did!

[@jimfussell5455]

Lex would have had soooo much fun in the 80s! There were songs like this all over the radio all of the time! Bop on, Lex!!

[@compostcorner5934]

One of my favourite bands from the 80,s 🎶 It was such a good time to be young ..if I were to sum up the 80,s in one word it would be 'FUN ! 🎶👍

[@Allencartercomix]

This was, and still is, my favorite pop song of all time. I was only five years old when it was on the radio and MTV/Vh-1 in the spring and summer of 1986, but I instantly loved everything about it: The synth hook, harmonies, and falsetto of keyboardist and second vocalist Mike Lindup, who handles the choruses. The lead singer and bassist Mark King who does the verses, is an extremely talented bass player who uses the slap bass style for Level 42's earlier jazz funk tunes, as Mark started out as a drummer. He had been drumming since he was nine years old.

[@kevinoriordan7387]

Lex, I knew you would love this classic.

[@shannonmiller4136]

[@cristianovia]

1985 is a great year for music with this great hit from Level 42, the whole “Promise” album from Sade and “whose side are you on” fantastic debut album from Matt Bianco and “The dream of the blue Turtle” by Sting. You could easily make 10 great reaction videos from these 3 albums ✌️

[@johnstjohn6658]

There was a lot of sophisti-pop out at that time. Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, Scritti Politti, Everything But the Girl, (Paul Weller's group after The Jam. I'm old - memory fades ),.. Lots of Jazzy, soulful pop came out of the UK at the time.

[@soakedbearrd]

Finally reacted to this song, a few of us have been suggesting it for a minute, too bad I missed it live. Such a classic, knew you both would like it.

[@JonathanFulton]

Every livestream that has been "appropriate" for this song I spammed it over and over ... and 3x it made a poll but lost ... was happy to have spammed this and see it win the poll by MASSIVE margin - but the ending got cut short because it was the 10th song in the stream and the copyright hammer came down :( Would have loved to hear more discussion on it !

[@grahampreston5153]

Awesome band with a great sound. Mark King was just the greatest bass player i have ever seen. Period. Finger picking style was so unique at the time but just bringing back the old jazz days. Great song!

[@EvasNan2020]

Gotta say, I live on the Isle of Wight where most of this band come from and I've been into Phil Goulds house lol, so many years ago, he was married to a sister of one of my best mates! Mark King also had a pub we all used to go to in Ryde on the Island called Joe Dafloes, was the place to be before we all went clubbing at the weekends, late 80s/ early 90s. So many memories and such good tunes from Level 42!

[@albertscanlon2005]

Such a great tune.. always love your reaction..typical 80s..

[@carlgibbons5777]

One of the most underrated bands of all time and definitely in my personal top 5 bands. It's a crying shame they were not bigger than they were even though they had some great hits because their chops/musicianship are about 5x what a good pop band like Duran Duran(who is in the Hall of Fame) has. Everybody knows Mark King on bass is a monster, but how about Level 42's drummers? The 3 I can think of are ALL monster drummers. Phil Gould, Gary Husband, and Pete Ray Biggins.

[@mrcurtis73]

😂 00:52 .. now that’s a reaction! I grew up on 70s & 80s music, so I’ve heard this song since I was probably in my preteens or early teens, but I never paid attention to the lyrics. Good stuff. 👍🏼

High quality, classy, sophisticated, well written pop records (thanks largely to Wally Badarou). For a year or two there Level 42 were on fire. This was the vibe of summer 1985 in England. Next "Lessons in Love" Im sure everyone will be recommending "Running in the Family" but Lessons in Love is the definitive Level 42 track.
