I LOVED the Thompson Twins. Very underrated 80s band.

[@dorojessy6932]

Beautiful song, always loved it next to "Doctor, Doctor".

[@northystwinkle6973]

me to love both songs

[@CEP73]

One of my all time absolute favorites!!😍 you'll have this in your head for days! Guaranteed! I don't know if you have, but if not, check out Alison Moyet. She was and still is incredible!

[@theKarstenR]

Thompson Twins were AMAZING. So many great songs. This is really just the tip of the iceberg.

[@christopherscorner]

This is great! I really love their other hits, Dr. Dr., lies and lay your hands on me… Good 80s synth pop!

[@foxhoundmgs5]

This was my very first 12" single I bought back in '84. It's a brilliant version and well worth a listen. It clocks in at almost 10 minutes long!

[@ohfour-seven6228]

One of my favorite bands from the new wave era. A friend of mine knew the promoter and after the concert we took the band out clubbing and then to an after hours restaurant in Coumbus. Very nice people. They were about to make an appearance on American Bandstand and were asking us about the show. We told them it's our version of Top of the Pops and they understood the significance of the appearance. Other songs to check out: In the Name of Love, Lies, Love on Your Side, Doctor, Doctor, The Gap. Great band Dereck!

[@stevemariman8769]

Thompson Twins always bring it! "Hold Me Now" "Doctor! Doctor!" "KIng For a Day" "The Gap" "Lay Your Hands On Me" "You Take Me Up" "Don't Mess With Dr. Dream" "Love Is the Law" "Roll Over" "Lies" "Here's To Future Days" "Come Inside" "No Peace For the Wicked" "Strange Jane" "Groove On" "Flower Girl"

[@Earcandy73]

I had a huge crush on Tom Bailey in 1983-4. I wanted him to “Hold Me Now”

[@alainsegarini568]

Such a fun band ! One of my favorites from the eighties for sure. Melodies always very catchy and extensive use of percussions... And many many hits !

[@imjoe713]

Actually, the extended version is pretty good. It’s the same tempo but you get to hear the nice music details of the song 🎧

[@carlh429]

Wow real blast from the past here Dereck.

[@tyrontoleston582]

My sophomore year in high school , this was my group!!!

[@eroloden5611]

This is a very melodic song. A true classic. I love the 80's. The best decade ever... Greetings from Belgium

[@juliehaley2765]

I had his hairstyle at the time. Love them

[@pascalmarfaing1690]

Yes for me too !

[@jet07son]

agree with you 100 percent , theres certain songs that need to be just as they are , and this one of them

[@billyboy4774]

CATCHY TUNE. A SING ALONG SONG. LOVED IT WHEN IT CAME OUT. ENJOYED YOUR REACTION. BILLY BOY

[@upfrontbear74]

You need to react to, Doctor Doctor, You Take Me Up, Sisters Of Mercy, Don't Mess With Doctor Dream & Lay Your Hands On Me to name but 5

[@Reani71]

In The Name Of Love Lies We Are Detective King For A Day

[@danieldubek5238]

Love Thompson Twins…saw them in concert back in the 80’s with Madness and The Police. Fantastic show. Then I saw them again within the past ten years and they are still great. ❤️

[@NoMoneyG]

Such a great song! Always loved them. They use so many different instruments to create masterpieces. Many other great songs in their catalog! Thanks Dereck

[@jackie_jrml]

80’s classic!! Top 10 80’s song right here. (Thanks Dereck, it is perfect the way it is.👍🏼) I like their song Lay Your Hands.

[@zeproo]

Mythical song period.

[@jaquettajones]

Derek make sure you hit IN THE NAME OF LOVE by the Thompson Twins - Fun, Funky AND no one Ever reacts to this forgotten GEM!

[@athena6307]

Such a great song! I was a teen in the 80s and yes growing up in this Era was amazing. I've been in the music industry for many many years and my own personal opinion is 60s to 90s were by far the most creative amazing era for popular music hands down. Nothing compares to it today. Not even close.

[@matthewrandom4523]

I LOVED this song as a teenager back in the days!

[@coachtomas]

Thompson Twins were defo a vibe. Have a copy of Into The Gap on cassette still. I would agree this is their best song, the lyrics have something in common with us all (we can all relate in some way), the instrumentation is complete sounding and top drawer production throughout. A nice old cosy song / subtle earworm.

[@stephmom1971]

Loved "Nothing in Common" by them.

[@yolandeclaes3399]

I absolutely love that song, thank you 😊

[@tootsie5052]

A very articulate song. Love it!!

[@kevinl2578]

One of those great songs that over time get lost , I remember hearing it before as a kid but then rediscovered it thanks to reaction channels ,bought the single 45 vinyl a few months ago . Tom Bailey the founder and lead singer had just started flirting with drum machines to get this beat at least I remember him saying something like that in a interview, still playing live btw although he is the only original member now he has 3 females that are with him one plays bass ,one on drums and one on keyboard! Your funny Derek I’m the same way I can’t just listen to this song i just randomly start signing lol nice reaction to a dope song!

[@franko7033]

Saw them live in '84. Excellent. They had a very different, distinct sound. The Gap is a favourite.

[@wildeone1645]

I know you love 80's music Dereck, so you must listen to Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones and Haircut 100, you will not be disappointed my friend.

[@kevinmoss6428]

"Love On Your Side" is another great one from Thompson Twins

[@UliFandoms]

Wooo... great memories! 🙌

[@ElectricSoulShow]

TRY THIS BY THE THOMPSON TWINS - the Thompson twins - love on your side

[@arsimahmetaj6272]

Love this song

[@xoxxobob61]

The Thompson Twins defined the 80's Pop Music sound.

[@kingdickontop]

the 80s was better than we can remember

[@martinsv9183]

"Doctor Doctor" next. I think you should check out the band "Platinum Blonde" also.

[@ed.z.]

The bass guitar is the soul of this groovy song.

[@christianoazzuro6711]

'Into the Gap' was a succesful and very good album.This one and its follower included their biggest hits.Like them both.

[@SteveA308]

Chooon!

[@joannetyndall3625]

Ah we all had or tried to have variations of Tom's hair...which was no mean feat with the minimal hair products available in those days xx

[@resireg]

They are really popular here in Canadian radio

[@Coowallsky]

Still haven't got that left arm and hand fixed yet.

[@glenn20081965]

King For A Day is their best track.

[@gojira54]

This was their biggest hit in the US reaching number 3. You should try their song Sister Of Mercy which is based on true story that Tom read about a wife being abused by her husband for 25 years until she couldn't take it anymore and killed him with a knife.

[@karimzekri7255]

I notice that you like the 80s synthpop sound (depeche mode , camouflage etc) so i'll suggest you 3 masterpieces of this genre : wolfsheim the sparrows and the nightingales, Q Lazarus goodbye horses and heaven 17 let me go. Trust me. You will enjoy.

[@LexusLFA554]

Just on your KZbin channel you have no other song of them. Doctor! Doctor! is their second most known single.

[@esclad]

No approved?? Fantastic song.

[@user-dv2ch7nf4h]

Это же тирс фо фирс

[@dugdoll3295]

They had several other hits too

[@pierre-alexandrelapie1726]

Hi derek can you put the subtitle?

[@James-wj8eq]

First release in England, 49 years ago in 1983.

[@puffeiffer]

I think you knew this song. And well. You broke your cover, when you suddenly knew the lyrics before they happened. LOL! Must be hard for you youtubers to pretend you’re completely “unfamiliar” with iconic songs that are on radio even today. Feigning complete ignorance. Not a very good actor.
