I never caught these lyrics as being mutually obsessed. Sounds more like a creepy stalker vibe to me, but literally no one cared because this song is just such a jam. I see it now tho, now that you mention it and I'm loving it. 😅

[@PyroNine9]

Definitely creepy vibe or bad relationship. "Like a butterfly, I will collect and capture you". Butterfly collectors kill and mount what they collect...

The music for this song, particularly the main keyboard riff, was used in pretty much every sports highlight reel throughout the 80s and 90s

[@Xman156]

You can't get more 80s than this!

There’s a story the male singer told, he was working his job as a house painter when this video came on tv the first time. He heard it from the the TV from the living room of the house. So he knocked on the door and asked if he could come in. He’d never seen the video.

[@jimmymac4559]

Gotta love the ‘80s attempted choreography. It really makes the videos even better than dancers that are too polished

[@joefav76]

The 80’s had something in it for everyone. What a time to grow up in😄

[@katyareads221]

The whole vibe of new wave was to be as different as you can from everyone else....dress, dance and attitude.....dancing didn't matter.....you were an individual....

[@williamweiss6128]

We used to cover this. And....our bass player played the bass part...........it's a synth sequencer. And he was a guitar player at the time. We forced him to play bass.

[@peccatumDei]

Martha Quinn, one of the original MTV Vjays once commented that as a Vjay when this song came out, she loved it! Later, as a mother with a teenage daughter, it made her a little nervous. BTW, the two singers in this video if I'm not mistaken, were and are husband and wife.

[@chrismorgan9153]

She was actually married to the keyboardist 😊.

[@scotties.3414]

We were obsessed with Obsession! This song came out of nowhere and despite the silliiness of the video-- it represented the cheesiest of Hollywood as though the singers were aspiring actors - - we were thrilled anyway because fortunately this was made during the height of MTV and all we cared about was a visual to go with the song. It was a huge hit and has become a cult classic representing the 80s

[@markh6014]

You nailed it Lex in observing the cool nonchalance of those 80's dance moves in this video and others ( Depeche Mode comes to mind.) Everyone just did their own thing back then without much regard for the "peanut gallery." It was a strange and wonderfully awkward time!

[@Californyuhh]

Iconic new wave 80s song and one of my favorites.

[@sporkfindus4777]

I love this song. It's just got so much attitude. Everything. Love it!!!

[@adampecsek]

I always thought of this as a song that transcended its genre. Yes, it's a great example of new wave synthpop, but you could re-record this as a rock song, disco song, punk song, whatever, and it would still be a great tune. It's just a fantastic melody and set of hooks. The album version of this song is about a minute longer and has a blistering guitar solo.

[@alrivers2297]

Oh wow, I've had this song on my Playlist for many years and didn't realize there was a longer version, thanks. I agree with your analysis of the song too.

[@marsbar2566]

It does transcend. A metal version that takes a darker look at stalking...not too dark lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWXafmytbJ6Sj6s Not sure you will like the link but that link bought me back to this song which I listened to as a preteen and loved...and now I am down the rabbit hole.

Yes to Visage, but I was never keen on Kim Wilde's 'America' song. .

Wow, Visage - Fade to Grey? Do we really wanna give away "all" our hidden gem secrets to the younger generation? 😉

[@johnstjohn6658]

Visage? The Midge Ure and the Blitz Kids project? It was just alright. Kim Wilde? Overly Pop for my tastes but it was a passable '80's song.

There were a lot more synth bands, Howard Jones, Cetu Javu, Big Audio Dynamite, Belle Stars, Propaganda.....

[@chrisautry9479]

I love this channel cause they react to songs nobody else has.

[@matthewteague623]

Lex: _"They looked cool, because they didn't care if they looked cool"_ I have been told that is 99% of the secret to dancing well. Me personally, I'm too damn self-conscious to pull that trick off. But I can see how, in theory, it makes perfect sense.

[@v.j.3029]

Another great 80’s classic you should react to is Just An Illusion by Imagination.

[@wadsworthaaron]

There was so much variety of club-friendly music in the 80s [synth-techno (like this song), post-punk industrial (Front 242 and the like), danceable rock & roll (like INXS, Simple Minds, etc), pop (Madonna, etc), and the synth-fused 80's incarnation of R&B ('new' Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, etc). I miss that kind of variety (and I'm not a club/bar person).

[@jeffreekoch9298]

So '80s! New wave classic. 😆. Was a kid when this came out. Skating rink music and dancing. ⛸️

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

A few other similar songs from the same era (mid '80s): "I Eat Cannibals" by Total Coelo. (A lot of fun.). Then there was a group called Missing Persons with a couple of great songs, "Words" and "Destination Unknown."

Oh to be a kid in the 80’s and see that the WWF’s Main Event was on instead of Saturday Night Live. The slow build up of the wrestlers giving their promos then this song cranks up as they they show past clips of the participants followed up by Hulk Hogan flexing in perfect rhythm to the instrumental hook of this 80’s classic

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, their "Room to Move" is next for you!

[@joesmith8725]

Gen Xer music! lol. New wave/post-punk, some say "watered down" punk rock music you can dance to with futuristic sounding synthesizers, heavy bass guitars, catchy drum beats, etc. Lex and Brad got the vibe of new wave and meaning of the song right. Lot of new wave/post-punk songs are like this. We didn't really noticed, just something to danced and groove to it. lol. Kind of nonchalant. We were kids (me) , teens or young adults when this song was huge (mid '80s). Other songs/videos from this group yall will are "I Engineer", "Let Him Go", "Room to Move". Other groups like them were Human League (yall have reacted to "Don't You Want Me?" already while back), Thompson Twins, ABC, Ace of Base, Berlin (not their poppy slow soft rock Top Gun song, though). Check them out!

This was the Main theme for the W.W.F back in the 80's for Saturday's Night Main Event that would air on Saturday's in the Saturday Night Live time slot that would alter back and forth like once a month for about 6 years or so since V.K.M. had a good working relationship with Saturday Night Live head person and also NBC .

[@SuburbanConan]

Biggest thing I've noticed about how music has changed since the 80's is very few people actually dance to it anymore .....sure,some do a kind of gymnastics with aerial moves and stuff,but it's not party dancing. Try walking into a club or party at someones' house with this playing and not feeling the groove and starting to move to it. People listen to music now. We enjoyed it by feeling and dancing.

@@Johnny_Socko I think it was only pop stations that bothered with the alternate version. You know, heaven forbid kids should hear about people sleeping together.
