Yes

[@nikolassodiant2595]

A great vocalist 💎

[@TheMafrand]

Hidden gem from the 80s. So many hit songs from that decade but somehow this is a little forgotten.

[@edwinmercado4802]

I don't about you but . How can anyone ever. For get this wonderful. Song 🎵 🎶. I know I can't never for get this one. For sure....!

[@mrlequack-w4u]

Not if you have mtv 80 in your program schedule:))

[@ronaldnock9666]

Best song!

[@tehbus9]

I actually forgot about this song until I played GTA Vice City in 2002.

[@frankrodriguez6998]

​@@tehbus9Don't forget they also added it into the GTA V Los Santos Underground Radio Station yet I'm not sure if it's part of the regular radio stations or if it's an online gameplay radio station because I don't play that entry into series/franchise that much.

[@dee1458]

*I MISS YOU 82!* Steppin' Out is near the top of my Eighties Faves --- along with Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen and Love Come Down by Evelyn "Champagne" King. Ze mesmerizing Korg KR-55 synth melody und the sweet accompaniment of Das Glockenspiel!

[@pst9821]

Me too, I love those songs you mentioned

[@soalivepop]

Masterpiece 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@ainihulugalle1195]

So tired of all the darkness in our lives ....

[@vaiklo]

From all songs of the 70s, 80s, 90s, 20s... this one is in all details burned in my cerebral cortex for the rest of my life - i wil take it with me into grave. I'm a drummer, not a piano player, but I could play the arp, chorus and the hook line out of the pocket if someone want me to - at any time! That's the magic of musical genius.

[@capriblue53]

Play on, 🎶🎼🎵🥁🎸play forever.

[@jeshkam]

I love it so much! The original is definitely too short, I always wanted this song to go on for at least 6-7 minutes and there I have it, finally. Thanks!

[@carmenpacheco5358]

Yo la necesito por horas de mi vida

[@ronaldnock9666]

Cool!

[@capriblue53]

I re-recorded it on to cassette off record and replayed the instrumental section to extend the song, not as good as this though

[@markelliott6850]

Reminds me of my high school days..love the fast uptempo beat!

[@DLCOrganization]

That's only scratching the surface. What about the rest of the song itself? The melody and musicianship?

[@ronaldnock9666]

It's amazing!

[@Uarehere]

Try listening at 1.5x. It starts to sound like electro-swing. 😁

[@hollyzukowski4216]

I have loved this song since it came out in 1982, I was 23 and had my whole life in front of me. 65 now and still rocking it.

[@SpookyFox1000]

Ha ha ! I’m just 2 Years older, really liked this song ! Hang in there !

[@imagecarpenter]

I have loved this song since it came out in 1982, I was 24 and had my whole life in front of me. 66 and still rocking it (and I still have my whole life in front of me).

[@PureDWhiteCloud]

I had just got out of AIT and hit my duty station when this came out. Talk about a whirlwind life I have had!

[@bmarte01]

My life pretty much mirrors yours. Only I'm one year younger at 64.

[@wolflover968]

I was a kid when this came out...loved it back then, and still do to this day (Jan. 5th, 2025).

[@Ashfaq1999]

Brilliant song. Bought this when I was a 13 year old back in 1982. Now 55 still sounds timeless 🎶

[@tigersgedanken1246]

i discovered this song recently, its the perfect tune when you going out alone on a saturday night, thinking about the fun you will have, the people you meet, the music to dance to.. just having a good time to remember..

[@bradwtferson2585]

Except the song is literally about not going out alone.

Isn’t it wonderful how one doesn’t grow tired of this catchy melody, I lost track of time while listening to it.

[@scotthunt2479]

On the studio version, Joe played the bass line on a synthesizer. I read that he played the line at half-time and then had it speeded up on the mix. When he went out on tour, Graham Maby played the line on the bass guitar. Just shows you how talented Maby was, and still is.

[@franckridel141]

Except we were young instead of we are..this song is still alive as it was in my student time! Magnifique Joe!

Excelente disco! Aquí en chile sonó en 1984 pero el LP es del año 1983. Música de alta calidad, que años verdad! A mi parecer los 5 primeros años de los 80,s fueron los mejores musicalmente 80 al 85 , después un declive hasta el día de hoy que es terrible

[@johnfrankleonsanchez4976]

Que hermosa cancion extendida si me preguntan cual es la mejor canción de las 80.yo digo todas

[@LordInvictus-yt]

I was 5, before I knew about this Joe Jackson, I made up the rhyme, "Joe Jackson, he's a man, he lives in a garbage can. Then one day that year, my dad came home to Long Island from New York City record store with this album, raving about it, and raving about the coincidence with my incessant rhyme. My favorite song on the album was CHINATOWN.

[@jennycartagena6255]

Good memory’s. From my childhood

[@maxthelab8457]

Such memories - I am 61 now and finding getting old very difficult mentally, almost depressing.

[@MoJo-x7g]

Forever classic🖖🏽. The long version was definitely a gift🙃. You could probably do every dance that ever existed in the 80's to this one song. I know we did. This is 1 of those classics you'd expect to hear on Cold Case. They had the BEST 80's jams !! Just teleport me back for like one year😫please!

[@RBS_]

..a LOT of People don't know what this sparkly, shimmery, twinkily tune is REALLY about... *THE AFTERLIFE.* ...It's about Joe romanticizing what it's like after someone.....'un-alives'...., and sees the white light; "...me Babe, Steppin' Out..into the Night, into the LIGHT...." ...that Joe, ever the OPTIMIST...... ; )

[@juanedocordero7127]

I just find this stuff...love it. Just more tine to hear this master piece!!!!

Music with a great walking bass line like this song, "Steppin Out", and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", will always be enjoyable and fun to listen to.

[@ronaldnock9666]

Yes!

[@74Cheshire]

That bassline! We remember the melodies, but that bass sound has so much drive to it.

Nice driving to Gulf Shores with my friend Desire!

[@glenw-xm5zf]

SUCH a catchy tune. This takes me back over FORTY years, to when I lived in Edmonton. Great days, they was.. Only trouble i have is what he means by the 'Other side' I have a thing about what lyrics are saying, because the sub conscious hears them 'and sort of records them and they can mess with your head in the long run.. if they are sinister and subliminal. Confused yet??

[@DiciplineSystem]

maybe the best song of all time

[@scottjones3673]

I had forgotten about this song- holy damn ! The soundtrack for my life at 19 going to college (art school) for the first time. …met so many amazing people, mentors taking me on because of the zest for fresh ideas (after growing up in a small town in So.Cal.) made so many amazing friends…wow. Thanks for posting this - and thank you Joe Jackson. Check out his live version - the first band member he introduces is the electronic bass machine he used in the original. just supposing AI didn’t exist at the time, someone had to program that bass rhythm - dad gum ! I was trapped in a world of 60 & 70’s pop music that even my only (older) sibling (whom I now insist on calling “my idiot brother” refuses to step out of, to this day. Sneering at every musical style that has come along since…WTF? …really? the Clash? Sex Pistols ? No DeadMua5, Bruno Mars, no Kool Kids, no Jon Gomm, Foo Fighters, 21 Pilots, 3 days grace? My bro was my musical influence growing up (prog rock thumping a shared bedroom wall), I learned to isolate the instruments, and found a profound love for synths, etc etc. - he couldn’t even get with Tomita. Our parents had a hi-fi system set up that played in our living room or den - just so they could chillax to CSNY, Barbara Streisand, CCR, Wagner, Beethoven, the Beatles, Big Band jazz n Elton John. I just don’t get it…what makes a mind stop enjoying new things? I pretty much loathe the fossils of my own generation. …just saying

[@jamesmavros453]
