[@exostell5653]

dream on XD

[@johnbeans2712]

How did you know the ladies were singing in French

[@johnbeans2712]

He is pissed off

[@johnbeans2712]

I love your reaction

[@darkogregec7503]

This is his best song and one of the best 80's song.

[@lordmaul3]

The backup singers are singing "Les Yeux sans visage" which is "Eyes Without a Face" in French. The song was inspired by a 1960's French horror movie of the same name.

[@pssthpok]

I don't know which is more scary, eyes without a face, or a face without eyes!

[@mynameispaul0530]

"Flesh for Fantasy" is good too.

[@qthelost]

His girlfriend Perri Lister is the female voice singing in French. She was also the bride in the White Wedding video.

[@hawkuser604]

Love the back story about the French horror movie and finding out the lyrics in French, now I know this information. Such a great story behind this song. Seeing the lyrics on screen was neat.. he is kinda hard to understand. I saw him in a small concert back in the early 90's When you read the lyrics this is a pretty dark song.. love it!

[@shuntup]

She is also in Duran Duran's The Chauffeur video

[@christophermcconnell3867]

Dancing With Myself will get you dancing!

[@0okamino]

With yourself! That’s not to say you can’t dance with someone else, but the song specifically does not require it.

[@ivanpaezcabo6300]

"Its easy to decieve, its easy to tease. But hard to get release".

[@vals_loeder]

Billy idol made awesome music in the 80s and 90s and the songs aged very well.

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Another great 80s ROCK N ROLL great! ✌️

[@UberDurable]

Can't get enough of this amazing song! The 80s ROCK!

[@PowderedToastMan420]

Billy is pure rock n roll. ✌️

[@martinsv9183]

"Flesh for Fantasy" is good. Somewhere in between this one and Rebel Yell. Same with "White Wedding". One of his most well known.

[@holysmokes5817]

Memories...Around 1980ish my brother and I were going to see the band RUSH at the "Forum" in Los Angeles. We had taken a rather large dose of LSD and parked behind a gas station a block away from the venue...This song came on as we were coming on...at the bridge...I snapped out of it just long enough to make it to the show...Thanks you Billy Idol.

[@ChristopherDunkle]

He is still rocking. You should check out Running From The Ghost by him.

[@danrumble74]

The butt slaps are one of the best parts of the video that i look forward to 😎👍

[@tbmike23]

This, and Dancing With Myself are my two favorite songs of his. I could hear them a thousand times, and still enjoy them.

[@billofalltrades2633]

Love me Some Billy Idol! A great artist!

[@AP-RSI]

FunFact: Around the time this song came out I was a teenager (17) and one day I bleached my hair and styled it like Billy Idol because I was a big fan! 😂🤣😂🤣

[@NoelaAbarca-np3nz]

😲🙌🏼😊

[@JKFlaker]

Great song. Never knew the female back up singers were singing in French, I just figured I couldn’t understand the lyrics 😂. Everyone loves a good guitar solo, and this is no exception, but the bass, even though it’s a fairly simple bass line through most of the song, is the backbone to the song. Thanks for this. Brings back good memories 😎

[@NoelaAbarca-np3nz]

Soo true 🙌🏼😊

[@peterwindhoefel5901]

So if you like a great female voice singing french, try Desireless with "Voyage Voyage". One of my favorite Songs and i don't speak french

[@ChrisJones-cs2zd]

re: french lyrics Billy Idol has stated that the title (and the background lyric) are from the french film "Les Yeux sans visage" (1960)

[@williamyates694]

One of the most unapologetic rockers of all time! And one of the best at it!!! Everyone out there that only know the radio hits...look up the song Blue Highway from his album Rebel Yell.

[@ottowedel711]

Flesh for Fantasy is another good one...

[@wrosser1]

You should do rebal yell or dancing with myself next

[@rbodee]

In your movie reactions, you need to check out "The Wedding Singer" if you haven't already.

[@joedokes9753]

If you like the ballad aspect of Billy you should react to Sweet Sixteen. Also White Wedding is a great song but more rock based.

[@countquackula8539]

I read somewhere that the song is about falling in love with a drug addict. He loved her for who she was but as he stared into her eyes he realized it was just a dream. She was nothing more than a junkie using him to get high. She was just eyes because her face was so numb from all the drugs she used. Hence why he despised her and calls her a human waste.

[@danw3735]

strange lyrics, but good melody. I actually never knew the lyrics all these years, I was humming along.

[@0okamino]

Well, when a song takes its title from a French horror movie, I guess it can’t be too surprising that it’ll at least be unusual.

[@laurenmccann6835]

Do Flesh for Fantasy please❤

[@jpskhale2425]

Before starting to sing as Billy Idol he had a punk group called Generation X where he already sang Dancing with Myself, which he later included in his album as Billy, in case you are curious about what he sang when he was younger

[@Yvonlefebvre-i2i]

INNA TU ES TROP BELLE POUR AVOIR DES TATTOOS, Tu n'as pas besoin de TATTOOS sur ton corps so 🙃🙃

[@jodytierney9474]

Agree 100%.

[@andyh4224]

Cradle of Love and this song are my favorites, its a wash. React to Cradle of Love you will love it!!!!!!

[@keithstewart148]

White wedding and Rock the cradle of love❤

[@DJCoachCookie68]

Love your reaction, one of my favourite songs ever ❤

[@dbrito96]

Now Rebel yell please💯💯

[@QuadRippler]

Please do "Hot in the City" !

[@ThomasKnip]

You can't keep a grieving bad boy down - butt slap to the rescue! 😄

[@CaptainKarate]

Classic Idol😁😁From a classic time🥰🥰

[@phila3884]

For me the lyrics don't really make the song great-it's they way they sound when sung. It's the music, although I really like the break-"steal a car and go to Las Vegas!" etc.

[@DarrylRuiz-s1w]

Starts off softly and then.....

[@navydave1]

This song could be about heroin addiction. Notice the scene where he is putting a rubber band around his arm to make the veins pop out? But from Wikipedia it says... "n his memoir, Dancing with Myself, Idol explained he had always been fascinated with the titles of horror films, including the 1960 French film Les Yeux sans visage (Eyes Without a Face). The movie concerns a plastic surgeon who vowed to restore the face of his daughter who had been disfigured in a car accident, and this quest led him to murder victims and graft their facial features onto his daughter in an attempt to restore her beauty. By the end, all that remained of her original face was her eyes, thus making her "eyes without a face". Idol saw some parallel between the movie and the moral decay he experienced living in New York in the 1980s.[7] He said, I started to use "Eyes Without a Face" as a possible title/lyric/chorus for the song. I began to write words that, in some disguised form, spoke about my life in New York and a relationship gone wrong, on the edge of disintegrating into madness. Perhaps I was reflecting on my own touring infidelities. In a way, those can leave you feeling soulless, especially if you're already in a relationship that you value but are degrading by looking elsewhere for additional sexual kicks."

[@ReinaldoCruz-qd2cs]

The bass line was played by Puerto Rican salsa bass master Sal Cuevas RIP

[@NoelaAbarca-np3nz]

That is real ? 😮

[@ReinaldoCruz-qd2cs]

Yes it’s true . Check out Sal Cuevas discography and you’ll be surprised about the amount of artists he played bass for

[@DavidGridley]

He dated Prince's ex Her name was Vanity This was the 80s Vanity died in 2016

[@Stacy55ish]

Billy Idol was deep into hard narcotics. That's why the rubber tourniquet. But he's sober now.

[@BCNeil]

This song is about sleeping with women you don't care about

[@felixnorman9562]

If I'm right, Eyes Without A Face is a French novel. Then came the movie! PS the solo guitar is epic. PS, she's mad cute!

[@NoelaAbarca-np3nz]

We need BILLYS now !! ✊🏼🛞✨

[@numbersasaname2291]

For the record: this song is about television and the entertainment industry. (“Eyes without a face” is a camera.) But your interpretation is common.

[@dazalenko4250]

It’s about a relationship with a crack head ,and his disgust with her fakeness just after a hit, hence such scenes as putting the band around the female tattoo on his arm, it’s only getting worse

[@charleshart6755]

you should have started 3 years ago.... you to late, you on dying channel

[@michaelparker1400]

Hate the tattoos!
