Chris Isaak's first hit was a song called "Lie to Me". Which was released in 1987. But yes, this song "Wicked Games" is the song that truly launched his career.

[@skmiller1468]

One of those songs that you remember the date and time and WHO the first time you heard it ... wowow ... great songs never die.

[@GrimlarLex]

Heard the original/studio version so many times that every other version (even this one) feels slightly off. The official video certainly didnt hurt either.

[@DrClawizdead]

It has always bothered me that Chris never really got the attention he deserved for his amazing vocals. In conversations about great singers, he is never mentioned. When I do mention him, people look at me like I'm crazy...

[@bloodandcarnage]

Because he never went main stream digital crap. And he was in a genre all by himself. If he had the attention on the radio he deserved he would have had some serious successes in concerts!

[@falcongal63]

Chris has got the smoothest voice, the best hair and the most amazing stage outfits! I love his eponymous album with Heart Full of Soul and Blue Hotel. I caught his show way back in the late 80’s at a small nightclub in San Francisco. And then a friend ran across him at a local record shop and asked for his autograph which he happily did for her along with a quick caricature of his own face. He’s a cool guy.

[@lylemacdonald6672]

Thanks for playing Chris Isaak's music. I've been seeing concerts since 1968 from Black Sabbath's first tour to Elvis's last tour. Chris gave one of the best shows I've ever seen in Greenville SC that I'd rank in my top 10 along with the WHO, Stones, and Leonard Cohen. Chris also had a TV show that's worth catching. His sense of humor is also as great as the mirrored suit he wore at the end of his show.

A song that starts with “nobody could save me but you” and ends with “nobody loves no one”…truly mystic and cryptic.

[@GrowingUpJersey]

Chris wrote the song. It's been used in a few movies and tv shows. notably, the Friends episode when Rachel and Ross finally get together. He had a sitcom called "The Chris Issak Show" on Showtime back in the 90s that was pretty funny. It was described as The American Rock Star Next Door and most of the band was in it too as themselves. Episodes might be on KZbin. Listen to his other songs. Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing is a great one. so is his cover of Neil Diamond's Solitary Man

Beyond this song, he's an amazing (and shamefully underrated) artist with a great group of musicians behind him. The director, David Lynch, included some of Isaak's music (like this song), and Chris Isaak himself, in some of his films. "Don't Make Me Dream About You" is from this same time frame. "Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing", "Blue Hotel", and his debut "Dancin", highly recommended. ☮ out!

Two interesting things about this song... 1. The lyrics are actually "No, I don't want to fall in love with you". I found this out after learned how to play it for a girlfriend in college (I removed the "don't" when I sang it to her). 2. James Hetfield from Metallica actually used this song as inspiration to take vocal lessons to get more soul in his singing before The Black Album. This can be observed in the song "The Unforgiven".

And we stayed... we were glued to that band like flies on fly paper and it was outdoors... summertimes... and the happy hangover lasted for days.

I’m a 42 year old man. Also a seasoned musician. Music has always been emotional for me. Pumps me up, brings me peace and joy. Also brings tears to my eyes at times. This is one of those moments.

I’ve seen Chris Isaak about 7 times with my wife( yes the ladies love him) and he and his band are some of the best musicians I’ve see live ever. Obviously Chris has an incredible voice. He also has great, funny interactions with his audience. He and the band are the real deal.

Who remembers "The Chris Isaak Show", a comedy/drama TV show that starred him and his band that eventually ended up with his band playing songs in each episode. Same idea as "The Monkees", but with a plot and missing the silly slapstick. Chris's show was actually pretty good, and of course had really good music.

[@212x3]

Finally. It's probably the best recording of his song.

[@milliekelly3559]

I remember Chris Issac and this song, I saw it on MTV during the eightyies or early nineties, I think it was thought of as a country song, and country music thought it was a rock and roll song, it never got it's fair share of being played, it just was forgotten and went by the wayside. I always thought it was a dreamy, haunting song, I loved it.thanx for playing it.

From these same live sessions, Chris Isaak also performed a song called "Dancin'". Definitely deserves a reaction video!
