When you have a chance for yourself, watch the original video of this song. It's smokin', sexy, and hot! (I understand you could only use the live version here.)

[@michaelgrabner8977]

The guy is shaking a sort of "Maraca" also called "Tamaraca" or "Rumba shaker" or "Chac-Chac" (= refering to the sound it makes) it is a sort of rattle originally filled with sand...but modern ones like that are usually filled with tiny metal-balls

[@brainsareus]

women go kooky, fixating on lyrics; while we men, take in a much more general impression of a tune; and that is, so goofy and anal. on this one, men win.

[@serfillustrated4018]

Great vid.. but id love for you to react to the original.. Its like the poster-boy for a men underwear commercial..lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp2tlqpjedxrbas

Check out his sing "baby did a bad bad thing"

[@Cybrludite]

Love starts with butterflies in the stomach, and ends with you drinking alone & listening to this song on repeat.

Mr. brown Thank you my friend . Thank you for the encouragement and that goes the same for you . I wish more people could conduct themselves like you over the internet .

[@michelleestrada9224]

I love Chris Isaak. I heard this song and fell in love with him. He had a TV show, he has a great sense of humor too!

[@jameswormington9978]

You must watch the original video for this song ... sexiest video of all time !

[@hungfao]

Agreed

[@IcePrincess751-kb9bq]

James Wormington-Absolutely!Helena Christianson and Chris are a gorgeous pair in this video.A drool bib is a must while watching it.😛

No. This one is the best.

[@JoBisbee]

MTV names it their sexiest video. I agree.

[@bobwoolerOriGinal]

The European version is the really hot one.

[@kattcity]

This is such a sweet and haunting song ......

[@SpaceCattttt]

It's very Twin Peaks.

[@Angiepremo]

I remember waiting all day to listen to this on the radio when I was a teen.. Always loved this song

[@Nick_Barone]

For a live performance, the sound engineering and overall performance is top notch. Every detail in each individual sound is seemless

[@tempsitch5632]

[@carlalopez4820]

And this was a sound check.

[@tommyd688]

[@mrmrandmrs800]

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded haunting

[@MB-mw1xr]

Chris is probably the best singer I’ve seen live. He puts on a great show!

[@vickiroman189]

"This girl is only gonna break your heart." One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[@jacksmith3097]

I've lived this song and will live it again.

[@nrich5127]

A master class in dynamics ... talk about creating a mood ...

[@thomassmith2227]

It is only when I fell in Love that I appreciated this song.

[@hazelmaylebrun6243]

Chris Isaak is fabulous. I've seen him live. He was amazing. So talented ( and easy on the eyes for the ladies too). You might want to also hear Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing, Somebody's Cryin', etc etc... and he did a fantastic cover of Neil Diamond's Solitary Man.

[@mattiasjp]

I always loved this song. It was perfect when it came out and is still as perfect today.

[@renaleon3193]

Such a hauntingly beautiful song, perfect for driving in the desert under a full moon 💕

[@Pntngbrn]

Wow India, I've watched a lot of your video reactions and I love how you just get so deep into the songs. You're really great.

[@Frankincensedjb123]

The perfect song. The music is calm but the message heat breaking. It's one of those songs that draws you in at the start and just keeps you there. It's done that to me the first time I heard it to the last

[@shaunoverfelt7263]

It’s a sexy sound but dark meanings. Love the song. Glad you reacted to it!

[@larryg7126]

Chris Isaak is a fantastic vocalist and songwriter. His voice is as smooth as butter & his falsetto is just otherworldly.

[@0013pokijo]

This song (and Chris) make my clothes fall off. LOL

[@dennis2966]

LOL! I wouldn't go that far, but I could have a "bromance" with Chris. I miss the TV series that he had.

[@BRENDAJASON1]

Some people it makes their clothes fall off for some at the moment this came out back then their was tragic things that was happening and this song was a typical reminder of it

[@daveyhouston]

Hilarious

[@1970sthrowback]

@Mo Nothanks lol

[@slothbros7607]

You took the words right out of my mouth....

[@katrinagallagher7823]

I've loved Chris Isaak since I was 14. His blue eyes and his voice, swoon.

[@tcanfield]

Must be his best song- great choice! Twisted emotions are so relateable to almost everybody.

[@gribouillefripouille]

BIG CLASSIC / LEGENDARY / BIG RESPECT / OLD SCHOOL REPRESENT FOREVER / 80'S 90'S ...

[@josemesquita2101]

One of my favourite songs of all time ! I still remember t video at t beach with the gorgeous Helena Christiansen ! EPIC

[@alisonburgess345]

This is my favourite pop song of all time...

[@Terri6868]

The video will make you go take a cold shower. 😂

[@ozkang654]

Ahaha 😁its true

[@hahatoldyouso]

I love this song, smooth & dark.... a lady that’s a tease yup!

[@Nummymuffincocobutter]

Just one of Chris's best songs...it's a song Roy Orbison could do... react to BABY DID A BAD BAD THING......

[@daveyhouston]

I love that song but never knew who sang it thanks

[@chadwhitfield6946]

He's def got alot of Roy Orbison in him.

[@RubyTwilite]

Oh yes!

[@teresas8173]

One of my absolutely favorite songs ❤️ Could you react to Mazzy Starr, Fade Into you and/or Into Dust? Gracias!

[@NorthGaLife]

Great song

[@martinkingston1498]

Fade into you is a beautiful song and Hope has such a unique voice as well.

[@MusicFan1977]

Halah

[@larahill82]

Fade Into You. ahhhhh mah heart!!!!!

[@vampylolita]

Son muy buenas

[@mogznwaz]

One of my all time favourite songs ❤ Have seen Chris Isaak live a couple of times and met him briefly backstage, lovely old-school southern gentleman ❤❤

[@jimrose71]

i agree, the guitar and music is like, other worldly

[@jgarcia1ful]

Absolutely LOVE YOUR SHIRT!!!!! Thank you for such a cool reaction!!! Be well!!!!

[@freckled100]

Chris Isaak has such an ethereal voice! I like the fact that you don't react just to the music, but mainly to the meaning and emotion of the song. There are so many things to find and react to in any one song. A friend of mine changed my way of listening to music. Instead of hearing just the female vocals, he helped me to hear the strings, the horns, the drums and percussion, etc. Now when I listen to anything I don't just say that I love the vocals. I find myself saying, Oooh, nice cello they have there...

[@conniewhittington3635]

Oh girl!!! You GOTTA watch this video!!!! 👍😁❤️

[@menosbbgirl]

Exactly!

[@menosbbgirl]

There isn’t music as good and soulful as this made anymore. This song is one of my absolute favorites.

[@dennyoliver2618]

I'm noticing that in your depictions of these videos you follow the story lines more than the quality and sound of the music, but WHAT YOUR DOING IS REALLY AWESOME...VERY AWESOME!!! THANKYOU!

[@emilyflotilla931]

I couldn't believe what I was hearing first time i heard this haunting song.

[@someperson774]

I lived this song years before it was heard as I am certain many others have. She was a good friend, so I witnessed first-hand the trail of men she left in her wake. She didn’t just need to get them she had to own their souls. A stunning creature able to dismantle any man with the skill of a surgeon. When she turned her talents towards me, I knew exactly how this would turn out so I fought for my life knowing I would have no one to blame but myself. I failed. She was a force of nature and I have never been the same since, just another corpse on the battlefield of love. The lyrics, music and performance are an artistic expression that speaks to many victims of their own forbidden dreams.

[@rolfdavis4433]

And even after all these years, nobody can really compare.

[@mbrando4403]

this song is haunting and dreamy (no wonder it fits so perfectly in a David Lynch film)

[@richardlorimor]

One of my favorite artists!!!

[@irishgrl]

The sound is reverb, I think it’s called “drip”...was pretty popular in some surf music in the 60’s.... As far as this song, I prefer the video/studio version that had the original lead guitarist. This song, Blue Hotel, & Kings of the Highway are my fave Chris Isaak songs. He deserves more credit than he’s gotten by far. His cover of Elvis’ “Can’t Help Falling in Love” is uncanny!

[@chuckvt5196]

I love how you are able to feel the emotions in a song. I can see the empathy in your expressions, and you let the music touch your soul. Great review, India!

[@menosbbgirl]

Ya I enjoyed watching it touch her souls and show through her face. 💞

[@charlespatrick1572]

"This world is only gonna break your heart."

[@mikecaetano]

Wavy is right. The first I ever heard of Chris Isaak was vacationing in Santa Cruz, California when I was a sophomore in high school and he was an unknown playing the local clubs there. If you like the sound of this song, you might also like Roy Orbison, "Only the Lonely", "Crying", "In Dreams"...

[@menosbbgirl]

What a trip. I’ve spent most of my life in Santa Cruz. It’s just weird to see someone else that’s lived there on here. 💞

[@robertreichle1]

Now there's a singer that worships Roy Orbison's voice.

[@1cajun59]

The first couple of times I heard this, I thought it was a previously unreleased Roy Orbison song.

[@lazaruslong6382]

I used to speculate that his mama happened to get a backstage pass to a Roy Orbinson concert about 9 months before he was born.

[@azmildman]

It doesn't matter what the lyrics say, Women loved this for Chris Isaak's voice. You don't have to intentionally be wicked for someone who is obsessed to feel tortured.

[@gchristyer]

Now listen to Roy Orbison only the lonely same vibe !& Crying ......

[@DougsShack]

I second this. I've always felt Roy Orbison was terribly underrated/overlooked.

[@imspartacus70]

In Dreams is another lonely one by Orbison.

[@barbarachieppo8290]

Also, 'Anything you want(you've got it)' by the late great Roy Orbison

[@cathyskywalker77]

Hauntingly beautiful songs...

[@totallybored5526]

Only Fools and Horses ruined Cwying, sorry I meant Crying

[@vonsuthoff]

*In Shakespeare's days it was called "unrequited love" or love unreturned.* This man is in deep, and in these days lingo, this is a "panty dropper" song. One of the best super sexy songs ever written and performed. Smooooth! Lol*

[@coolhive2941]

He’s one of my favorite male singers. Great reaction!

[@debravirden7130]

She broke his heart. When I saw this video, I wanted to tear her up!

[@debsylvania]

This song made me fall in love with the steel guitar.

[@redf7209]

I like the way you actually listen properly to the lyrics on your vids, many dont and its not always easy. You'r clearly open to an emotional attachment to the stories. Thanks for that lovely smile you always have too.

[@rubbersole79]

"Sometimes you get tired of girls beating on your hotel room door. So eventually, I just get up and let 'em out...." - joke told by Chris Isaak

[@daveyhouston]

First told by jack benny in 58

[@timmccready1185]

Ha!

[@jeffreyjenkins1242]

Not sure the year this was released but it had little impact at the time. If I remember correctly, the song was "rediscovered" at some point and became a hit. Chris Isaak's career got a big jump and he sang the song on many talk/variety type shows. It is a beautiful, melancholy ode to love gone wrong with vocals and instrumentals equally matched. A perfect masterpiece. Thanks so much for your reaction India and a belated Happy Birthday to you!

[@PoboyNCoke]

It was like 89 or 90

[@1newbert]

I think it was used on the original Twin Peaks.

[@donaldb1]

@@1newbert No, Wild at Heart, which Lynch made at about the same time as Twin Peaks was going on. But Isaak then played a major role in the Twin Peaks movie.

[@malbourne805]

1989. I remember because it was the year I graduated high school.

[@scarletcomptonbellew8470]

I always enjoyed Chris Isaak this song always struck me as a man who fell in love and is now haunted by the memory, that's why the guitars sound so mellow and haunting. He is forever changed by unrequited love realizes he was played and is now haunted by the memory, and his own foolishness. The background vocals are like that little voice in his head reminding him His heart is broken. It's like all we need now is Wine Ice Cream and Chocolate. We all got played at some point or another in our lives..this song reminds us..sometimes guys get played too.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Great song! Chris Isaak always reminded me a little of Elvis. The moody and beautiful black-and-white music video for this song with supermodel Helena Christensen and him frolicking on the beach was sexy. It was filmed by famous fashion photographer Herb Ritts, who also shot beautiful black-and-white music videos for Janet Jackson ("Love Will Never Do Without You" ... Janet has never looked so stunning!!!) and Madonna ("Cherish") frolicking on beaches, too.

[@PoboyNCoke]

He's a Huge Elvis fan. Listen to Elvis singing "Blue Moon" you'll hear Chris's biggest influence .

[@nickthepostpunk5766]

Generally I am not into love songs but there are exceptions - and this one is gorgeous, and one of my favourite songs ever.

[@Pelesfyre]

Always liked this song. I like HIMs version also. 🤘🏼 ...oh yeah perfect interpretation btw. 👌🏼

[@JamesWilson-vr3ql]

...nobody loves no one... It's a beautiful song and Chris's transitions in and out of the falsetto are flawless.

[@roboliver8872]

First time ive heard this song live #SoGood

[@russtex]

Love this song!

[@alexanaya6820]

Chris Isaak is the man. Listen to "Somebody's Cryin"

[@kimberlinibambini1968]

I loved this song back in the day and still do!! 💛🤘🏼✌️

[@azmildman]

I remember when this came out. Chris Isaak was more of a country singer but this crossed over for him. His voice made all the women's panties all steamy. He can hit those high notes, "No I-I-I-I don't want to fall in love with YOU..." He almost yodels during this song.

[@dalee72]

The male band members were singing "This world is only going to break your heart." I think that the object of his affection may not even know how he feels about her so that's why he calls it "wicked game" because he doesn't like being manipulated and being out of control and so he sings "No, I don't wanna fall in love with you.". And at the end he sings "Nobody loves no one."

[@tuaylahten2295]

I was at a Jr. Brown show in Austin once... Chris came in and danced for a bit and got up on stage and rocked on out with JR's band. Great night!

[@thekingcobra63]

Met Chris on more than one occasion, spent time in many of the same waves back in the day. Great guy, great voice, Love San Francisco Days San Francisco Nights, and anything from his Baja Sessions album. THink of Tomorrow his best I think.

[@cindyknudson2715]

He was in 2movies.. Silence of the lambs and that thing you do.. He was the priest an uncle to one of the actors in the movie..

I've always loved his music. I was a little kid when the music video came out for this song. Mtv wasn't around that long, and it was all music videos. We just got cable then, and that channel changed my life! Now it just makes me sad, but that's what the internet is for now lol.

[@boguebanks1]

If you ever get a chance, go see Chris Isaak play live. He puts on one of the most entertaining shows in the business. And his voice is still just as rich with just as much range as 30 years ago. And he's still hot as hell!
