Chris' jacket stylin' decades ahead of time

[@matteoromenghi]

Historic, iconic song of the '80's.

[@SSNESS]

Is he from Texas

[@thedude8046]

One of the best songs they ever made. I love it!!👌

[@SSNESS]

What’s the keyboard guy wearing

[@thebordernow]

​@@SSNESS He was late getting his shore pass from the Coast Guard cutter he was on and so didn't have a chance to change before hurrying over to the CountDown show...

[@Wythaneye]

You don't fully appreciate the complexity of this song until you see it played live. The synth programming is way ahead of its time.

[@fluorescentadolescent2640]

I'm pretty sure they are not live lol

[@a.nelprober-rl5cf]

Oh yeah, 3 chords… real complex

[@humblemonkm61]

It's a keyboard, synthesizer, & a recorded track... Not complicated... An orchestra is complicated

[@a.nelprober-rl5cf]

@@humblemonkm61 you fuckin’ tell ‘em!!

[@jdsheleg8332]

They use a time machine. God, I hate comments like this. What is next, that they are "underrated"?

[@MissPerriwinkle]

[@MrKimJoJo]

Love PSB 🤩💪 In the 80’s and still to this day.. saw them live 3 weeks ago in Copenhagen and it was AWESOME..!

[@CharlesandCarmichael]

That was the song that made me fall in love with pop music and the wish to make music by myself.

[@johnappleton9349]

For some crazy reason I dont know why but Ill never forget casey Kasem introducing the PSB new song to the top 40 countdown. He was telling a story of a girl who met them on the streets of Germany and so on... Its just a memory Ive never forgot.

[@walterboscatto5315]

[@cookdislander4372]

This song reminds me of working the night shift in Sydney, Australia . . . No not in the 80s lol. In the 2010's it would put me in thos trance where Id forget I was at work and think of beautiful girls and a time Ive mever experienced. I didn't even know what West End meant haha

[@jadercarvalho358]

[@fredericattia2724]

Brit pop and New wave ...forever

[@TL....]

those synths need more cables than just the power to produce sound lol

[@Dan-vt1qt]

His face and hat remind me a little of Isaac from Children of the Corn when they just show the brim. 😬

[@SinndesLebens3809]

War das RTL von Niederlande?

[@madamnicknack]

Nein, Veronica.

[@incognito9304]

Veronica was on national TV in that period.

[@pablitoxz]

Yo veía countdown por Music Box

[@ehss192]

Great song but that's some bad lip syncing

[@pelleoh]

It's only "singers" of the 2000's that know how to lip sync since they can't sing at all

[@jdan94000]

AIDS years...

[@BobbyIlinovBG]

Playback 😮

[@pelleoh]

Who cares?

[@BobbyIlinovBG]

@@pelleoh Me!

[@Marcaocorreia10]

Playback😒

[@pelleoh]

They did that on countdown but the majority of the bands back then knew how to sing, not like the modern day music when no one have to know to sing to make it big.

[@B.B.B.-]

🤩😜😋
