General Hospital - Rap Song April 1980 - May 1981

[@christineadams1284]

This was 40 years ago, where did the time go. This is Fantastic, Thank You. ❣️❣️❣️

[@66Leefan]

I still remember all of these characters and story lines.

[@GHRickLesley]

I still watch too but nothing can compare to these golden years of GH. I was addicted, just like the song says! I am still addicted to classic GH. This was my first video I ever posted on YT so I am glad you liked it.

[@undertheblood31]

I think we have shorter attention spans..lol cuz it still good , but could b great!

[@feliciasanders2066]

@@undertheblood31 No. It is not good and pales in comparison to its heyday in the 80s. The writing is a huge issue. Too much focus on Sonny and his family when it should be on the Scorpios, Laura, the Cassadines, Quartermaines and others. It's hardly the must see ensemble show that it used to be. This video alone proves it!

[@paulwilliams419]

This brings back great memories! GH's best days were right here!

[@Chanticlair47]

Best show on tv in 1980 and 1981 for sure!

[@robhigh5365]

SO TRUE *GH and Dallas were at their very best during these years

[@johnnyfox8934]

For some reason this song popped into my head. I hadn’t heard it in over 35 years. This was my favorite show when I was in elementary school. I remember every storyline mentioned in the song and everyone in the video.

[@erroljr.7480]

Happy 58th anniversary General Hospi-Tale!!!! APRIL 1, 1963!

[@FunkyBruja]

The Luke and Laura boat scene.

[@Crowvamp1979]

This is so cool, its like watching old family home movies, seeing people you know and love, but looking much younger then the way you are use to seeing them!

[@lifeworksndhenterprisesllc6597]

Crowvamp1979 going back to my childhood could my heart like eating chocolate Milano with my Chocolate mint ice cream.

[@bradlewis6514]

Wow does this bring back memories! Talk about having the dust cleaned off! My mother was the biggest fan of GH I've known in my life! I was in third grade during the '80-'81 school year and hearing this along with that ambulance siren intro, it's as if it was yesterday! I'll be turning 52 in less than two weeks and its a super thing for those of us old enough to remember those days! And the music!

[@GHRickLesley]

I started watching in 1978

[@carenlissner454]

I could have written that word for word although I'm around a half year older than you. My mom and I would sit together on the couch and watch and bond over those exciting storylines after school each day. My mom passed away this year. GH was on in the hospital and we watched together for a bit. I don't know if the show will be as magical as the early '80s, but it will always make me smile and think of my mom and the best parts of the early '80s.

[@carenlissner454]

I still know the words. This always made me a smile as a kid, between watching GH episodes after school with mom.

[@yvonnecooper5004]

I remember the words too. The first story will always be my favorite. These really were the best years of the show. The song is great.❤😅.

[@HuggieBear39]

Back then I never missed a day during the summer vacation months. I was so glad when we got a VCR and I could watch when I got home from school.

[@GHRickLesley]

Thanks! I wore this song out back in the day! I couldn't believe when I cam on YT and found all this classic stuff no one had done it yet. Someone did but didn't put any scenes in it. GH of the late 70s & early 80s ruled!

[@jenniferlapidus8635]

Omg this song came out when I was a freshman in high school. Everyone was watching it-we were all obsessed. Luke and Laura were everywhere-they even made the cover of Newsweek!

[@citygirl5705]

How did you watch it if you were in school? Did they have VCRs then?

[@maryshellsmith6627]

Chesapeake Bay Hell yeah! Every day after school, & all summer long- the good old days!

[@yvonnecooper5004]

Wasn't that something? They will always be remembered because there will not be another like them...

[@TheRealMrSnickers]

Omg. I was 9 and remember this on the radio...good times!

[@STP43FAN1]

My sister was mad for General Hospital back in 1981 and when they did the Ice Princess story arc with John Colicos I actually watched it. That's when this record came out and it was all over the radio.

[@DJFRANKNICE34]

I addicted to this show back then.... Classic 😎😊🙃❤️

[@jacole439]

I remember this being popular when I lived in CA in 1981. The NCO club at the Air Force Base played this in the disco. Catchy groove, silly lyrics ...."Luke kept his cool, he ain't no fool"....... LOL

[@jasetraber]

I still have my 45 record of this that I bought back in 1981 when I was 10!

[@skruglinski]

LOL, I, too, have the record and was also 10 back then!

[@classicdiva4u]

It was great hearing the song again on today's show. Brought back many memories! Happy 50th Birthday General Hospital!

[@victoriaindigo]

Loved when Richard Simmons played this at the Nurses Ball rehearsal Felix was like "this is very informative" lol

[@karaokecatlady]

Sadly, we lost Richard Simmons yesterday. Friday was his birthday. 😢

[@GHRickLesley]

I still like it after all these years too! Live in MI as well!

[@PhoenixFlamez07]

Back when it amazing storylines

I haven't heard this song in 30 plus years.

Great 👍 rap song 🎶 ❤❤❤❤❤ 3:30

Now THIS is how you do a montage to this song!! Yep. :-} Gracias! 1964nickel 1 day ago

[@marieprovencio288]

Awesome. Absolutely amazing stuff still 2 this very day

[@maryshellsmith6627]

OMG! I remember this! I was only a kid, like 11 or so, and me & my neighborhood friends used to be OBSESSED with GH. It was nuts! We watched it every day over the summer, and we used to play GH, & pretend we were the characters, & we used to listen to this song on a little 45 record!! WOW! What a memory- a lifetime ago, a totally different world. I actually liked the world a lot better back then, when things were simple.

[@carenlissner454]

Yup, I was the same age and still remember talking to my friends about it in my backyard. I don't know if things were simpler, or just seemed that way, but I do miss those days.

[@fwdthinker]

Damn, I loved this show back in the day! Great seeing these old scenes; including some from before I started watching. 3:01 was EPIC because I LOVED Lesley! Thanks for posting!

[@alshair1971]

Fab job on the video! Appreciate everyone on UTube who take the time to share great GH memories! I'm a huge Q fan love my Alan/ Monica!

[@DangerousParent]

An oldie but goody, it sticks in the back of your mind forever, I wonder why it's never been revised.

[@jessiesalazar9776]

Ways to go GH on the Emmy award tonight yeah love you always ❤️ guys since 1977

[@eju262]

I used to listen to this song all the time. The clips in the video are all from back when I used to watch the show.

[@LeifMaginnis]

Ha, I remember buying this single as a 45 record when I was a kid!

[@lisaparker4134]

OMG Thank You that brought back so many great memories !

[@stripervince1]

The entire country was caught up in the luke and Laura saga for about 6months. It was big time. Seems like a long long time ago

[@chistability5405]

stripervince1 Yes indeed from the hood to the suburbs,males as well as females. I remember. I miss those times/80'S

[@jacole439]

I think they had the cover of TV Guide, when it was time for the wedding.

Yes, I have been glued to my set all weekend! Happy 50th GH is right!

[@Beachbum647]

Oh no you didn't!!! I'm laughing out loud right now because I know the words and everyone once and awhile I use the line " girls don't and Annie won't and you all know what I mean" Thanks again. Your videos are just awesome.

Brings back billions of memories thanks for the upload!!

[@josebro352]

Same. I remember them playing this at the roller rink. God I miss the simplicity of the 80s.

[@briandaly8880]

My best friend used to watch this with his mom when we were 10. He told me they had a weather control machine and i didnt believe him.....! Who knew?

[@theclassica91classic60]

Wow what a blast from the past. I randomly remembered this song this morning and had to look it up. I was a kid in the early 80s and General Hospital just permeated the culture. It’s too bad soaps have fallen so far since then. LOL at the line “Susan’s having Alan’s baby...”. Of course, that “baby” was Jason Morgan.

[@Lasha220022]

Awesome! And seeing some of those faces TODAY!!!

OMG the memories! Thanks for posting this! ❤❤❤

[@yvonnecooper5004]

Cool!!

[@miclol5750]

This made me happy.

[@GHRickLesley]

I'm glad because it was the only soap that had a song. Hope I captured everything from that day

[@joannjohnson2481]

I still loved this song it in playlists 2020

[@KaijudoMaster11]

They need to use this classic to recap all GH storylines Brilliant editing. Wow you got it all. Amazing work!

[@Marie-fm9oi]

1979 here love em since from Marie Buena Park CA USA

[@yvonnecooper5004]

There is a reason the show was number 1 for 5 yrs. Rock on!!😂❤😊

[@SDChargersFreak]

Anybody remember when Mekkos Cassidine wanted to spread diamond dust into the air in order to change the weather? It was an actual storyline. I'm serious.

[@kayhey3426]

I remember the weather machine. It ended with Mikkos Cassadine being frozen in the ice chamber, his hand on that little window. Jeez, it was a long time ago. GH was so interesting back then.

[@237hardy]

Tony Cassadine and Alexandria Quartermaine were also frozen alive.

[@yvonnecooper5004]

​@@237hardywasn't that something?!😮

[@yvonnecooper5004]

I Sure remember❤😂

Peace/blessings! Wow haven't heard this since 1984, thanks!!!

[@citygirl5705]

I never watched this show, but God, Rick Springfield is soooooooo beautiful.

[@82mmkay]

Wow... I remember this, LOL. loved it! As a Les & Rick Fan, I'd like to chime in about CR - I think folks are getting confused with Chris Robinson, of GH (our CR) with the Chris Robinson of the Black Crows, whose brother Rich was also in the band, but, they've since split up and do not talk. Including in that, Chris Robinson of the Black Crows, tried to cut his brother out of the $$$ the band made prior to splitting . Our Chris Robinson is much older, close to 80ish now I believe. and the Chris Robinson of the Black Crows is 49. Our CR and the Black Crows Robinson are not related. :)

[@christinaromero4227]

Love General Hospital. Thank you.

[@jacole439]

As the song says "I love my General Hospital". ha ha. I was hooked on it in the 80's for a couple of years, too.

[@hazelrush]

I remember when John Stamos and Demi Moore first came to the show. That was my first introduction to both of them! Thanks GH for the memories..

[@at2sher]

Never heard the song until Richard simmons came on for the 50th anniversary! Absolutely love this song. The video edit is even better! Those were the days when GH ruled soaps. 50 years later the show is better than ever! Never miss an episode :)!!

[@tly5352]

Great job - enjoying the 50th.

[@dabigdikdangler]

Thanks Jimmy Fallon, I watch GH every day but never knew this song existed.

Been looking for this. Never heard it before Thanks .

back when it had great storylines and a beautiful cast. now its so confusing just trying to keep up

[@alanh.3494]

I was 15 and loved this song. I still do. Siriusxm 80son8.

[@nessie46]

I remember hearing this song on the radio when it first came out. I didn't get addicted to GH until several years later (Asian Quarter / Laurelton days) but this was a great synopsis of what had come before. I wish I had been able to watch the Ice Princess / Luke and Laura stuff when it first aired.

[@GHRickLesley]

I was sooo addicted! The Left Handed Boy story was better than the Ice Princess! I have as many full episodes and some edits that fill in the gaps of some of the missing episodes in my KZbin playlists on my channel if you wanna checkout the episodes before you started watching.

[@MaryBlanche]

Dr. Noah Drake!! 📺❤️

[@at2sher]

Classic GH is still the best! I am very fortunate to own a majority of the episodes from 1979-1981 that's why the edits were so cool because I knew exactly what was going on throughout the whole video. Great job :)!!

[@xLuiKangx007]
