IDLE EYES - Tokyo Rose

Another great Canadian 80's video. Sorry for the video quality it is from a videotape.

[@STNeish]

No one seems to make music like this anymore, it's all samples and drum beats these days. Man, I miss the 80s sometimes.

[@chameleonday]

One of my favourite Canadian tracks from the 80s!!!!! We had some of the best guitar riffs!!!

[@luckypascal]

a masterpiece of the 80's !!! Awesome!!!!

[@Delisle4]

Hi Jeffrey, Growing up in the 80s I never really paid attention to this fact as a kid in Montreal but looking back, you are absolutely right. There was such good Canadian music back then. This song really takes me back. Thanks for pointing this out...eh!

[@upfrontbear74]

Only heard this yesterday for the first time, and have to say its now one of my all time favorates ever, I have just seen on Amazon due to be released on June 27th by Wounded Bird records, Idle Eyes and Love's Imperfection the first 2 CDs by them, and Wounded Bird have also released Forward Your Emotions by One To One, god I wish was Canadian and had been growing up in Canada in the 80s early 90s, so much great music.

[@debowiec3]

Great 80's music!! Canada 1985!

[@blackcoffy83]

OMFG !! Great song and vid. This was taped off the 80's weekend on Much ! I thought I was the only one that used to watch the 80's weekend for the sole purpose of taping favorite songs.

[@smegweevil]

Excellent! Thanks so much for putting this video up. The picture doesn't matter so much because the sound is perfectly clear.

[@WALTKRIEG]

That song is good and these ladies from old age movies are very beautiful.

[@terryberry48]

I love this song!

[@Tiro_Elena]

[@00fart]

[@TheIceDragonlady]

I love this track I have this on a tape Canadian Gold - its brilliant but as I got it in the 80's its a bit fragile to play now sadly.

[@captainrayp]

wow over 20 years old, great stuff

[@fjislander]

I think this song was popular in spring of 85. The memories it brings back. I wonder what ever happened to Dana

[@unstabledavid]

always lked this song

[@javelin1010]

Great under rated Cancon along with Sheriff, Body Double. The 80's were good but you should have been there in the 70's.Wonderful vocalization and harmonies on this tune. Thanks for posting. Remembrances of the tv show "Good Rockin' Tonight".

[@nabestag]

Fantastic song! Thanks for posting!

[@siennah99]

Still one of the best songs ever.

[@winstanley1958]

great song like to watch it every so often

[@TrainmasterCurt]

I loved this song growing up, so cool, it has a unique sound to it, and the message is about a single-man who has a sex problem. They play this song on 999BOBFM in Winnipeg

[@Hot80s]

they cant be idle eyes cause i just thought randomly of tokyo rose in my head decades later! & still love it.

[@MrNotbadyou]

I've only heard this song a few times in my life, most recently was a few days ago. I like the music, very 80s but of course that's the point, and it's a good thing.

[@zetaandnazboojunkie]

Awesome song and video, I had to search the web to remember the band name, but I knew the lyrics.

[@trishtyrannes]

Still playing music still chilling and traveling

[@terryberry48]

the video quality is good for a VCR tape:) thanks for posting it

[@yummytummy2006]

me too: hot, mid-summer night, at that open-air venue at the far West end of the grounds, where the RCMP Musical ride was. We went to Fogg on the Bay afterwards, and Brian Adams was sitting next to us.

[@ultrastark1]

nice yea dats the eighties/cant beat it

[@aluluq]

Remember when you could dance to most Canadian bands in the 80's, except soft rock? lol

[@Outdorsman]

I had the tape... Thanks for the memories. Old memories...

[@koolerpure]

great song!

[@yummytummy2006]

(agreeing with previous post-er about seeing Idol Eyes at Expo 86)

[@ideagirlconsulting]

love this band.

[@JBinOtown]

The woman drinking is Bette Davis

[@54spiritedwill54]

Great song

[@icm1970]

Thanks for uploading. I noticed you taped it off an "80s weekend" from MuchMusic. Even that takes me back to the days when that channel still had some semblance of entertainment. Enough of the stupid f*&$ing reality modeling shows and movies aimed at 14 year girls that are presented as "program content" today.

[@lamma03]

great tune, thx a million!

[@moogahnah]

Excellent track,it's good of you to post it :)

[@8moody1]

I,m in a Canadian mood. Peace

[@sheltershed]

same same Thanks for this one

[@fsstogre]

What happened to these guys ? Met them at a party in Vancouver back then ..

[@cne08]

Cool song.

[@zingaman]

Tad Campbell is my cousin (2nd I think)- I'm so proud!

[@hexen4u]

Does anyone know who the women are in the video!!!?!? They are all so gorgeous!

[@kurdtss]

I haven't seen any other videos by them, not to say they don't exist

[@MsSweetunes]

This video is kind of Retro, like some of the other great bands experimented in the 80s. Queen is another great band that created some really different videos in that era.

[@ricresch]

some people think kurdtss is actually Terry David Mulligan!!!

[@kingofallwhites]

Yeah this song should be available and I haven't found it yet either.

[@fjislander]

This song reminds me of Spring of 85, I was madly in love with Dana Reny. I wonder what happened to her

[@soccerkid30000]

my brother's friend's dad is the keyboard player!!!

[@79wylie]

songs like this should be on rockband game because if im gonna stink at the game at least i would like to stink at music id preferre to try and play instead of the junk on those games

[@pepperman03]

ANYONE out there know how to get their hands on CDs or even tapes of their first 3 albums? They were my absolute favourites when I was growing up, and their tapes wore out or got eaten in my old '72 Datsun tape deck. Used to drum along with every song and would love to have ALL of their stuff back in my collection. They (and fans) deserved such a better fate. Miss ya Tad.

[@keithbarclay007]

The fist at 2:47 is awesome.

[@terryberry48]

Thanks Kudtss this song is amazing, was this their only hit?

[@brendahaley]

It would be fanatastic if you had something new. I know that you have many amazing songs just waiting to come out. We are waiting too. :-)

[@OpinionsAnimationStudios]

Great UBER-MEAG RAVE FAVE o'mine from the 1980's Thanx...

[@jamiewet]

I am disappointed I can't buy their music on itunes and everywhere else it says they are out of print- so I cannot even buy their music in the store.

[@LunaticEntrails]

Bands that write their own music,and play their own music???...how fu-ked up is that...next you'll be telling me that they were actually playing their own instruments...No bloody way!!!...God Bles the 80's something we'll never see again...real artists playing their own music.

[@MayhemKan]

... whoa

[@wild1heart]

This Cambell boy is n Facebook.. he is from my home Town!!

[@dexterriley]

kurdtss..not sure if you are still adding more, do you know if idle eyes made a vid for two rivers or all day?

[@ACD605]

The great B side of the 80's lol "MARSDEN"

[@ephysdad]

What school in Vernon? I went to Hillview, Seaton, Kal and VSS.

[@kozseluham]

Have you tried E-Bay or Craiglist my friend ?

[@kurdtss]

@ricresch thats too funny

[@79wylie]

what the hells with the loading on these now

[@blader45bc]

Looks more like Mike Reno if Mike was slim
