[@jaquettajones]

CANNOT Overestimate how influential and HUGE this song Was and IS! Cannot imagaine the 80's without it and like every Gen-X'r I LIVED to dance to this at the Club.

[@markosswald7041]

It COMMANDS you to dance!!!!! Go generation X!!!! Now I'm 56... bummer that!!!!!!!

[@jeffjackson4465]

Yep. It was always played at some point. Club Metro in Riverside always had this along with Metro by Berlin.. We danced our asses off..

[@miguimau]

With flashing lights!!!

[@jeanpeuxplus7257]

The absolute iconic song of the 80's. There was a before and an after Blue Monday for dance music. And that 12-inch version is the best-selling 12-inch single of all time in the UK. I-CO-NIC period 😄👍❤

[@leeloo4182]

They were very clever with getting that record of best selling 12". At time of realease it was only issued on 12" you could not get a 7" version as with other artists also it was not on the alblum so if you wanted it you had to buy the 12" which I did on day of release and I still have it . I love the cover design as well.

[@RobertCasas]

@@leeloo4182 Here there is another one copy from 1984. The famous 5 1/4 inch cover bought in Barcelona.

[@oskarobit]

@@RobertCasas how??? Mine is from 83! Y hace unos años compré una reedición. :) Así que la tengo 4 veces en formatos musicales físicos: 2x 12", vinilo y CD de Substance. No sé cuantas veces en descargas digitales... Y nunca me cansaré de escucharla!

[@RobertCasas]

@@oskarobit Pues debe ser del 83. Lo que te puedo decir es que, fui a Discos Castellò y todavía no lo tenían en venta. El chico se fue al almacén a buscarme una copia. Y se quedó con una cara rara. Qué cómo sabía que había salido? Pues resulta que el padre de un amigo en aquella época, se dedicaba a instalar gramolas en bares. Y por tanto, tenía acceso a la música actual mucho antes que el resto de gente. También me pasó con Enola Gay. La escuché antes de que se hiciera muy conocida.

[@oskarobit]

@@RobertCasas OMD! Mi primer concierto con 16 años y sin decir nada en casa 🤭

[@jellyrollnorton]

Blue Monday def filled dance floors. It was re-released 5 years later, and filled dance floors again. Also a great driving song.

[@peterwalsh2470]

definitely

[@joannetyndall3625]

The 12 inch single of this is the biggest selling 12 inch of all time.Takes me back for sure xx

[@MathiasHeinel]

It was only released as a 12", no 7" in sight.

[@angelagreen778]

Yes, a staple track in the 80's! All would dance to this! ❤

[@NathanWind99]

This song is even more incredible when you learn how primitive the tech was at the time. Samples on floppy discs, so little memory in the synth they had to swap out the disc mid song to get that thunder crash. New Order had some great songs that featured a more organic, guitar sound. My favorites are Temptation and Age of Consent. Perfect Kiss is a great synth epic to check out as well.

[@jamiefaryniak8894]

Blue Monday was HUUUGGGEEE when it came out. Played in every nightclub. The BIGGEST selling 12" EVER!!!

[@Prone2Thrill]

Any KROQ fans here? Los Angeles dominated offering this genre to the USA - Saw New Order live as well, Depeche Mode, Yaz, Souxie and the Banshees, XTC etc etc. Fun times! Some pre-industrial sounds here from New Order. #NitzerEbb #Front242

[@aquarius2287]

The Smiths’ song How Soon Is Now would be a great follow up to Blue Monday. It has a heavy synth sound-a little different than this but it was also guaranteed to pack the dance floor.

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Oh! How Soon Is Now is a great song, my favorite Smiths song!

[@jillboehm-reyna834]

Anything by The Smiths!

[@user-js7zu3im3v]

One of them was the most influential song of this time . when this song come on in the Club, everybody jumped to the floor and sometimes it was played twice a night.

[@stevehulse4005]

Is one of the most iconic 80’s tracks ever!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Oh yeah, this was HUGE in the alternative dance clubs. Always packed the floor and was played for years and years. New Order ruled the dance floor with their 12" mixes. Other songs to definitely check out include Thieves Like Us, 1963, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Perfect Kiss, Touched by the Hand of God, Subculture, State of the Nation, and Shellshock. Always play the 12" or extended mixes, the videos are fine but nothing like the magnificent dance mixes. They are in a league of their own.

[@BCTMarcus]

Trust me, I was 17 when this came out. The dance floors in clubs were CROWDED when this was played. Because almost every single kid could find something in this music that grabbed him/her. And you just could not sit or stand still anyway. 7 minutes moving to a vibe.

[@mrjosediaz]

The first time I heard this song was at the club when I was in high school. I was shocked and energized when it first came on. New Order is a must have in every 80s music collection. I was a cross country runner back in the day and would listen primarily to New Order and Prince on my Sony Walkman while I ran as well.

[@randyandretti]

Yes, the cool kids were dancing to it in the clubs.

[@christianalander9487]

One of the best and most important songs of all time, from a legendary band with a lot of bangers. How many more iconic songs does JD/NO have to come up with before they are given their rightful place in the Rock Hall? VOTE THEM IN THIS YEAR!!

[@shannonbennett987]

Oh I danced to this more times than I could count back in the day. Lights swirling and flashing, popper's floating around, dance, dance, dance! And this isn't even my favorite song of theirs. Classic No, that was Peter Hook on that bass.

[@johnredhd]

OMG. My favorite dance song ever...Wow, I danced like a crazy person to this when I was out in the clubs back in the 80s.

[@tracyfarnath2270]

I loved new order and played this track to death, my very favourite though is true faith, it's catchy and just stays in your head. I'm showing my age I grew up in the 80s it was a fantastic time musically but with life too. I love rock but I love a lot of the 80s bands and music🇬🇧

[@robertgreig6063]

Still have the original 12”, 40 years old and still sounds incredible after all those years! ❤

[@robertrosello1964]

Let's get into some Depeche Mode !! ODW, Blancmange, Echo and the Bunnymen, Thomas Jones, Allison Moyet and Yaz, Psychedelic Furs!

[@believer773]

Salvo is literally curating my high school music playlist these past couple weeks, awesome but kind of eerie

[@FTFLCY]

It was massive in clubs, it was massive on the radio.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

You should also check out New Order's hits "True Faith" and "Bizarre Love Triangle."

[@cstovall0425]

It was a MASSIVE club hit!

[@earthboy6417]

absolutely at the club! this was a huge song to get down too and a major influence on what came after.

[@rickhawk22]

Peter Hook plays his bass like a guitar. That sound is his bass. This was a dance club staple back in the day. Loved cranking this in the car with my souped up sound system.

[@conkersbadfurday356]

I bought this 40 years ago this month from HMV in Manchester. Still sounds as good today.

[@richardherbst8081]

Out of the ashes of Joy Division ....Peter Hook has his unique style on full display here.

[@actthree7810]

Yesterday I saw that he dropped a comment on a different Blue Monday reaction video. He has a channel called Peter Hook and the Light. Looking forward to checking that out.

[@richardherbst8081]

@@actthree7810 Thanks I will too!

[@rockwhk]

I love new order since i was six years old. Bizarre love triangle was very popular in the eightees too. New order for sure are the parents of the electrónic bands from the ninetees

[@jamesgov]

When intros and outros are fully crafted and appreciated... elevation for the song and all listening.

[@diaseamado]

I was there and it was a massive hit, filling the dance floor for years, with the 80’s revival in early 2000’s it was rediscovered and did it again. There is also a great mashup with Kylie Minogue’s “ can’t get blue Monday outta of my head”

[@gbdewbery]

After an extended period of the charts being littered with light and fluffy stuff New Order brought this. It was a revelation, a revolution.

[@MDFMKisKMFDM]

Ive had the incredible pleasure of hearing this legendary song live 7 times in my life... i'm an old die hard New Order / Joy Division fanatic and ive loved this song since i first heard it in 83..... every time it still to this day melts my soul.... i'm so glad newer generations are discovering :)

[@johndef5075]

I saw this band live. They rock very hard. Outstanding show!

[@kramerbassplayer]

Same, back in the eighties...they killed it

[@brentgunderson1349]

This was huge on the dance floor. Salvo, you would have had a blast! Love how the video is a floppy disc. 😆

[@dazpowell5075]

Biggest dance record of the 80s ... end of, biggest selling 12 inch single of all time

[@jimmywu888]

great video. everyone knows blue monday, but most true new order fans think the perfect kiss is their best song.

[@zigman63]

I was 20yrs old when this came out.iam born and bred in old Trafford Manchester, we lived 10mins walk into town and the buzzing clubs at that time,shout out to PIPS ,Placemats,Legends, Rotters?lol.

[@daviddeath6029]

The bass is actually real and Peter hook is recognised as one if the great bass players.

[@RainnKenyon]

If you can't get enough of Blue Monday, New Order has done many versions. This was huge in clubs, huge every where. Great dance song.

[@anthonyv1719]

Famous for a number of reasons - one them, the first band to substitute lead guitar with the BASS guitar. You can hear HOOKS playing in many on their hits front and centre as the melody. With BLUE MONDAY you hear Hook's bass throughout.

[@highheartwellness]

Absorb it anywhere and everywhere! Best electronic pop song of the 80's!

[@tparmenter]

Yes. It was incredibly massive in the clubs. The floor would be packed. Trust me on that.

[@OnlyGoodMusic_]

This song spent 89 weeks on the UK charts, one of the best-selling singles of the entire decade.

[@Abbadonhades]

Could it be categorized as early house music, or at least a forerunner of the techno club music that would dominate from the late 80's to the late 90's?

[@ownedbymykitty270]

FYI, this is the highest selling 12” single of all time!!

[@raybernal6829]

I was deep into my wedding and party DJ part of my life just turned 20 .... When this was released it changed popular dance music. I played this at every wedding and party and filled the floor for many years .... just epic. Don't You Want Me Baby and West End Girls also did the same.

[@Swisswavey]

Loved this song and still do. It was HUGE in the UK especially in clubs but you'd often hear it walking down the street being blasted out of some teenager's window

[@markosswald7041]

Remember we only had our radios, and tv back then. This was like getting an ice cream for a little kid, with lots of flavours. There was NOTHING, then this blew out of your radio. Try doing your homework as a teenager, with this pumping in your bedroom!!!!!!

[@Jontor11]

Love this one. I used to dance to this in the nightclubs in the 90s, so I guess that means the song is kinda timeless.

[@amandafaber9983]

I’m not even gonna try to lie! Damn right I’m dancing!! 🙌🏼🥳

[@Peejay1966]

You should check out Power, Corruption & Lies. In particular, The Village and 5 8 6. Maybe Blue Monday was on the album is the USA, but it certainly wasn't here in the UK. New Order were great for standalone single releases. So many great tunes, such as Ceremony, Procession, Everything's Gone Green, Temptation, Confusion, Thieves Like Us and Murder.

[@johnnymarrisgod3290]

Power, Corruption & Lies is one of my top 5 albums of all time! Leave me Alone and Your Silent Face were stand-out tracks for me. To really appreciate the greatness of New Order you should start with Joy Division.

[@deannajones3849]

I was in my 20's when this came out! It was playing at every club.

[@susanjohnston8267]

Love New Order. If you want to listen to a charting mash-up, try Klf - America: What time is love ?

[@lynda3860]

you should watch them do it live, great band

[@lukasmarsha6843]

New Order True Faith pleeeease, the best song of 80s))))

[@mscavsfan]

I agree... that's a fantastic song

[@needlefingers58]

That "stuttering needle" effect was first used in 1979 by Giorgio Moroder on the Donna Summer club hit "Our Love" from the Bad Girls album.

[@SalvoG]

Ahhh, sweet! Thanks

[@oskarobit]

First: Your reactions are usually natural and pure, that is too much for the times we live in. Good! Facts: · The song was meant as a tool, to let it playing while they leave the stage after a show, but then (happily) it went out of their hands. · Roots of the song are Donna Summers' "Our Love", Kraftwerk's "Uranium", Ennio Morricone's OST "For a few dollars more", "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" by Sylvester, "Dirty Talk" by Kleim + MBO. · It's 1983, the song is handicraft... · There's no chorus... · Bernard delivers the lyrics like he doesn't feel anything and the robotic background vocals helped that coldness. · The other side of the record is an instrumental version but slightly different named "The Beach". · Joy Division was a real future influence in bands like The Cure, Editors, Interpol or The Smiths and so many artists and bands name it as an main pillar in their own sound (U2, Moby, NIN, Radiohead). When the harassed Ian Curtist (a modern Romantic urban POET) took his live at 23, the band change the name as they have been agreed. · This is the best selling 12" single of all times. · There are 3 "legal" versions of "Blue Monday": 1983, 88 and 95. But there are a bunch of covers by other artist. · Salvo, you choose the last video for the song but the music is the 88's version, so "not so bad". ;) ·The cover design for the 12" is considered a work of art, a classic graphic design by Peter Saville, who tried to imitate those old 5 1/4" Floppy Discs for the early computers. He created colour code for the cover hiding the name of the band and song title as well the catalogue number in Factory Records label (creators of the club The Haçienda and the MaDchester Sound) · The first edition was so costly, due to the design, that they lost lots of money. So... · There are no band name, song title or anything like that in the cover of the vinyl. · You say something like you move your feet or bobble the head when listening to this, in my case I dance this millions of times since they release the song in the early eighties, true, and its true too that I can not avoid to pay attention to AAAAAALL the sounds, noises, music, lyrics and my mind goes astray. ·This is more than a dance song. · "blue Monday" is a single for promoting an album that doesn't include the song! ··· If you please you can try more from New Order like: 'Ceremony' (the shadow of Ian Curtis is present), 'Bizarre Love Triangle', 'True Faith', 'Confusion' (a hard techno remix of this one sounds in the "Blood Shower scene" in the movie Blade), 'Subculture', 'Your Silent Face', 'Tutti Frutti' (w/ LaRoux), 'Stray Dog' (w/ Iggy Pop), 'Plastic' (w/ LaRoux).

[@vaughnnewman8903]

This brings me right back to the mid-80's.

[@spawn4582]

Electronic music, I am not a fan of such music, but this composition is fire, is popular to this day and is played in all clubs and music festivals, although it has already been 40 years later, an all-time hit from New Order.

[@buckdraper303]

Every goth club in every college town in the 80s blasted this song.

[@skyblueo]

This was a club hit.

[@itsme_mandyp]

When that beat dropped in the clubs it was ON

[@adammckee3496]

The most electronic music you can react to is something from Kraftwerk. Probably "The Robots", "Radioactivity", "Computer Love", or "Music Non-Stop". The versions from "The Mix" are fantastic.

[@rouguy1972]

Masterpiece ❤

[@danielvaillancourt7823]

This song was ahead of it's time and is a mastepiece, a proto rave party song. It wasn't a hit in the mainstream world, but in alternative dance clubs. You have to understand that alternative clubs at that time were "the new thing", college people of the gen X like me were filling those clubs. And beelive me, back then, as soon as I heard the first notes of Blue Monday, I'd leave everything there to rush for the dancefloor, swatting my life to death.

[@rogerjudge7591]

I truly hope you fall down the rabbit hole of new order . My favourite band ever . All their music is fantastic . Complicated , interesting , and very worthy and influential both lyrically and musically . I believe it is still the best selling 7 inch single ever . Also try listening to Perfect Kiss .

[@thisworldofwater8017]

Hey Salvo, to answer one of your questions. Blue Monday was a HUGE global hit. More importantly, it's in the (metaphorical) DNA of anyone who grew up in the 80s. Even now, doesn't matter where in the world a DJ puts it on the platter, there will be mayhem on the dance floor.

[@thenortherner3890]

There was a 12inch single and maybe an extended version - But it was revolutionary at the time.

[@thatnortherner1]

New order were the band that came out of the band Joy Division after Ian Curtist's untimly death. Also those ahhhhhs were a sample from a kraftwerk song.

[@rainerader1182]

First time I heard was at a show I was walking runway for. Lit the whole show up

[@Dave-el6rh]

Thank you.Really.Thank you.

[@EchoesDaBear]

I would consider it highly suspect if someone DIDN'T start moving, in some way, with this track!! An absolute nightclub dance floor constant - especially some of the 12" club remixes! For further New Order - check Bizarre Love Triangle, The Perfect Kiss....for starters... I listen to this anytime I need to groove. There's a lot of 80's tracks that do this to me.

[@kellymorris8064]

For another Electronic pioneer listen to I Feel Love by Donna Summer. From 1977 and was one of the very 1st songs to be done entirely on a Moog synthesizer!! Producer Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer are amazing together!!

[@thereunionparty]

I remember when they played this on "Top of the Pops" here in the UK, just as the record had broken into the Top 20. Normally, this level of exposure would propel a record up the charts, so big was this show back then. However, New Order insisted on playing live, instead of lip synching to a backing track as was usually the case with other acts.. Suffice it to say their playing didn't sound quite like the studio version and the next week the record went down the charts rather than up. They also produced a 12 inch version of the record, which became the highest selling 12 inch single to that date. Trouble was, they spent so much on the record cover design that it actually cost them more money to market the record than they made in sales. Great, great band though. Check out their albums Low Life and Technique.

[@mmoura1104]

Lol. Loved this in the club. College radio. University. Great memories

[@gravyboat2370]

Way way way ahead of its time

[@tookitogo]

In the 90s and 2000s this was a staple at goth industrial clubs, too. And yes, it was in the living room, too. It’s also a great song to experience sort of meditatively: get a little drunk, put it on loud or with headphones, and just lay on your back on the bed or the floor and take it in.

the part you described as them playing ahh always reminded me of james bond themes

[@davidgermano5480]

I don't know if you read comments from your older reactions like this one. But, you mentioned this as being the most electronic song you have heard. Have you ventured into the world of the group Kraftwerk? Everyone starts with the song Autobahn but there is so much more.

Yes we were getting down to this in the club big time.

[@PriestessOfNothing]

Nah, there's bass in there. I used to play it once in a while. "Bizarre Love Triangle" next! Eventually, you need to find a copy of the "Substance" CD. (Or stream it or whatever...I'm old, leave me alone, I still use an mp3 player 😂)

About the voice. It was routed through a vocoder, which modified the voice.

[@saucyempress9803]

Was a popular skating song too .

[@sfcub-Bill]

You should do reactions to the Wrestlers Entrance Music! lol Now that would be so cool! 😊

[@rainerader1182]

This song was so popular on the dance floor

[@kitharley6159]

If you like electronic, you really need to give a listen to Gary Numan. "Cars" was his big one, but I'd recommend "Down By the Park" or "Are 'Friends' Electric?".

[@richardgoddard37]

Because of the expensive die-cut sleeve the band lost money for every copy sold, and it was the best selling 12" of all time. It didn't do them any harm in the long term though.....

[@carolmayhardie]

Music in England was progressive at the time- but so was Scotland with the Eurythmics, Ultavox and ofcourse Simple Minds.

[@viet5929]

Pioneering group.

[@bryanforis1839]

You played 1983 version they have there own time time line in music they to groups they were joy division starting in 1976 and had the biggest 12 inch single

[@stephenriggs8177]

Perfect Kiss is a great listen, too.

[@spikeysnack]

This sounds so much like the stuff The Pet Shop Boys were doing around then, but definitely more automatic and minimalist. Brits were awfully tired of punk rock, 70s disco, and hard rock was an American import, but this sounded so British, so good when you were high on whatever. Even the girls could get in to this one. The funny thing was nobody had any idea what the band looked like, and they did not care, they just vibed to it for hours and hours. Kind of departure from the edgy pretty boy stuff. And it was totally pop, but sounded better than pop. It also sounds really androgynous, sexy but sexless, not male or female energy, but slightly inhuman, electro beat. This song launched a thousand imitators and was the birth of the EDM movement, or one of them.
