this song is almost 40 years old. where has time gone?

[@perrynn7173]

I guess we're all showing how much older we all are now. 50 this year, 10 years old when this came out. Anyway great stuff. I hope the original members are stll healthy even if they not together as a group. Big love.

[@James-wj8eq]

2023. It is 40 yrs since first release in Britain now...

[@staggerlee9362]

1984, I'm sitting on the right side of the backseat of my stepdad's maroon Honda Civic driving from the Central Valley, Ca. to So. Cal, the window is down, it's 90 degrees, it smells like hay, and I'm listening to this cassette on repeat with my new Sony Walkman. Weird the precise moments music can take you back to.

[@surlechapeau]

Songs can definitely take you back to a moment and place.

[@brendahhstiles9992]

Sweet...love your description.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

What a time! The 80’s rocked!

[@rhondamcbath6279]

I lived in the Central Valley in "84", Tulare, CA. Yep, we were rocking out to this tune, and many others back in this time!! Super cool, dino-whooping music 🎶🎶🎶🎶😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂

[@peggyp5844]

Yup!

[@burtreynolds2969]

One of those songs that defines the 80's.

[@vh1984ful]

This smells and tastes of the '80s

[@richard_n]

The 80s had such a wide range of great music

[@deadmeat_0152]

God I miss the 80's

[@wompa70]

The Thompson Twins. Three people not even remotely related to each other. I’m fact, the band had seven people at one point. Still, phenomenal British New Wave group!!

[@jemmajames6719]

I think the singer and the girl were married

[@Tarinankertoja]

originally band had a 7 members. After 2 albums Tom Bailey wanted to change style and made "in the name of love" and continued to work under Thompson Twins name with Currie and Leeway. Others dropped out

[@si_w8201]

@@jemmajames6719 they were, but no more...

[@Riceball01]

And I believe that none of them were named Thompson either.

[@JimmysEssay]

The Thompson twins were named after the detectives in the adventures of Tin Tin

[@sierra6936]

Hold me now..❤️❤️❤️ in your loving arms 🎶🎶✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨

[@shanehebert396]

They were popular in the early 80s... definitely had the look, styling, and sound of that time. Their videos got a lot of play time on the various music video programs/stations. I liked them at the time (still do :) )

[@roypartible9759]

The band named themselves after two characters that appeared in a French comic book, "The Adventures of Tin Tin." Steven Spielberg directed an animated adaptation of it several years ago.

[@alfredkar]

Belgian comic book

[@geoffn54]

Herge was Belgian not French Roy. 'Kuijfje' the character Tin Tin was originally called and the two guys in bowler hats were Jansen and Jansen.

[@leowalless9328]

A lot of people used to miss the reference because in the books they're just referred to as Thompson and Thompson

[@fl350r]

One of my favorite comics. Read them all at my local library when I was a kid.

[@brooksrowlett2494]

In fact the twin detectives in the English translation of Tintin are Thompson and Thomson (one with a p and one without) as part of the running jokes about them.

[@michaelhoward900]

This hook definitely gets inn your head. The bass is very catchy as well.

[@josemapolo1974]

I remember being a child while my older brother was watching the video. I was fascinated with girl's look, so original and 80's at the same time. My brother liked so much this song and used to listen many times, as I remember. You left too soon, dear bother, but we will have that magic again when we meet in the other side.

[@storiedworlds6261]

Thompson Twins, one of my favorite 80s bands. Such a nostalgic song.

[@catinthehat906]

Brad & Lex have now unearthed the nadir of popular music- 1984 and the dreaded Thompson Twins. Never fear it doesn't get any worse than this.

[@cindiloohoo]

@@catinthehat906 Art and beauty are subjective.

[@johnstjohn6658]

@@catinthehat906 - I actually liked a lot of pre-84 groups and their songs but once they became commercial (With songs such as this) most groups lost me to new genres.

[@afoolandhiscameras7658]

You might like something else by the husband and wife duo part of the band. They made another album under the name Babble and it's quite spectacular.

[@storiedworlds6261]

@@afoolandhiscameras7658 Thanks. That slightly rings a bell. If I ever did listen to Babble, it was an awfully long time ago. I’ll check them out.

[@halstonmann8676]

Good choice!! You two would have loved the 80s!!! It was all about the music.

[@nitegoat1369]

My favorite Thompson Twins song is ‘If You Were Here’. You guys should listen to that one next.

[@TheMartinChronicles]

I love it when Lex's immediate reaction is "Oh I love it!"

[@perrynn7173]

Lol 😂. I know what you mean. Top comment.

Iconic bass line

[@goittoog7563]

Thompaon Twins are awesome, shout out to whoever recommended this

Formed in my hometown of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK. One of a few great artists from there, examples being The Human League, Pulp, Joe Cocker, ABC, Def Leppard...

I miss these days being in elementary school, Saturday mornings, going outside, loved ones and friends that are no longer around… but I love having KZbin to see young people enjoying this! ❤

[@VikingMom1970]

Doctor! Doctor! And Lies lies lies next!!!

[@dawnpatrol700]

This was the sound of 82 - 85. I didn't appreciate it at the time. Very nostalgic now.

[@kevcall]

Takes me back to the 16 year old me.. If only I'd realised what was most important in life back then

[@captaincapitalism264]

"So I sing you a new song, please don't cry anymore"...that line encapsulates the changeover from the 70s to the 80s in America, so very well...musically, culturally, politically, all of it. A new era, and a helluva decade.

[@NYCNibbles]

spent New Year's Eve 1985 in Toronto with Thompson Twins and OMD

[@TracyfromNC]

I sing this alot but always sing the the backing vocals, like In your loving arms, warm my cold and tired heart, ooh ooh let loving start. My fave groove 40 years later.

[@davydod]

Didn't care for this when it came out much but it is pure gold now!

[@musiconlyplease98]

1980s.. best of the best 😊😊

[@radone5896]

They later started a band called BABBLE that had more of an updated new wave electronic sound that was very hypnotic, I liked BABBLE even better

[@MRBIGGJ]

Brad and Lex weren't born when this came out 😳

[@xaspirate8060]

"...or maybe they're triplets" -- Brad keep spinning'em, Lex keep Lexing!

Totally 80’s 🤘🤘

The Thompson Twins were Tom Bailey(lead), Joe Leeway and Alannah Curry.

If I remember correctly Thompson Twins were 12 members back when they first started.

One of the Great Songs from the Early 80's.

Doctor Doctor is another great song worth a reaction. Loved this band when they came out, still on my playlist...

[@josephm6320]

Glad I grew up listening to the 80s! Thank you mom and dad!

[@07LUTE70]

The 80s was the coolest decade in recent memory. Just anything goes, and we were united just because no rhyme or reason

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you’ll love their "In the Name of Love", “Doctor! Doctor”! and “You Take Me Up”!!! I saw them in concert April 1984, they were the first band I ever saw using wireless microphones! They saw in the chat, they were not twins or named Thompson, group named after characters in a comic strip.

The Thomson twins were bowler hatted detectives I think, in the cartoon Tintin - who was a boy adventurer with a wee white dog - called Snowy surprisingly ! The source material for the comics was Belgian.

The name Thompson twins come from the characters of the novels of tin tin who was French but had two police officers who were English and were twins if that helps

[@vrvaughn]

Nothing like Lex in a Poison ☠️ T-Shirt, grinning like the Cheshire Cat listening to 80’s pop… she’s definitely become a music junkie of the ages… time traveling over the cascading waterfall of the music of the last 60 years

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

The Thompson Twins is a British trio from the New Wave era of the early eighties! They were very successful and had great catchy pop songs! They got their name from a British comic strip! There are no twins, the lead singer, Tom Bailey and the female, Alannah Curry were married at one time and Joe Leeway is the third member! I loved them ! ❤️❤️

[@euphorichaggis8486]

Alannah Currie is a New Zealand born artist based in London.

[@marvelharris9540]

classic!

[@johnmcdermid6896]

The 80's, what a tune..

Great song. The name of the band is actually from the two bumbling detectives Thompson and Thompson (who are not twins) from the Belgian comic The Adventures of TinTin. There are not twins in the band - Or anyone named Thompson for that matter :)

Another time capsule. June,1984 me and a friend drove to Key West,Florida and back to NJ. Heard this song blaring out of a radio in Myrtle Beach SC. Made you feel so alive that you could do anything

[@simonstevenson5244]

To show how big they were in the mid-80's, when they played at the Philadelphia Live Aid concert Madonna came on as a backing singer when they covered the Beatles' 'Revolution'.

[@alanmusicman3385]

Synthetic music is so familiar now that it's probably hard to imagine the impact it had when very sophisticated synths first appeared in the 1980s on pop records. Of course there had been synths for decades and some had been polyphonic, but by the 1980s it was possible to synthesise pretty much any sound and so tracks like this featuring combinational sythetic instruments, synthesised percussions etc - had a wow factor that is hard to imagine now. It's not a bad song either and of course the band's styling was so very 80s that the whole package was about as "of the moment" as it was possible to be.

[@fordcorsair]

Vastly underrated musicians and songwriters! They could make a dead man's toes twitch...
