Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out REACTION

[@racinnut77]

You're smiling through the whole song. That's what everyone does when they hear this :-)

[@burtonmediaprod]

One of my favorite 80's songs!!!!

[@patrickbuckley344]

He is one of the most talented in popular music- multi instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, singer, and band leader- his music shows influences of rock, new wave, jazz etc- Real Men is a unique song!

[@prd1073]

This came out the summer I turned 14, and made me wish for all those things that were just out of reach, wanting to be older, to be stepping out. Wishing time away the way we do when we are young and aching to grow up. Makes me smile in bittersweet nostalgia that 1982 is nearly 40 years back in the past.

[@LuvScorpio]

Pure 80's...I absolutely love this song.

[@mrod7692]

One of my all time favorite 80s tunes.

[@dbrownthegreat]

My jam! This song always makes me happy. Love that piano!

[@josephparks1505]

Following Joe Jackson's journey is amazing... from the earlier works to the present... what a composer

[@californiahummus]

This video is pure New York City.

[@dwaynes6330]

Love your name cause Im from Cali born and raised haha but Yupp straight New York Cityy which is Greatt

[@dwaynes6330]

I meant Pure*

[@dalemcilwain]

The video was shot in one night in the St. Regis Hotel, New York City in August, 1982. The same time the single was released. Just for a moment I thought the house keeper was a young Julia Roberts.

No, Joe Jackson certainly is NOT underrated. Millions of people love his music. What more do you want?

[@clarencemcgraw3851]

I like this song. It has a day-dreamy feel. 😁

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

"You Can't Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want" is another great song by Joe Jackson.

[@shrews12001]

The sax riffs in that one are utter perfection

[@lennyloves4518]

As a young child, I was truly obsessed with this song 🙌🏻

[@jancw]

Same here. I would put on headphones and play it on repeat until my ears rang.

[@-belue-6697]

[@-belue-6697]

I think it's such a slick sounding song! It makes you just want to step out on the town and dance like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. 😎💃😎

Yassss

[@angelaluz405]

I love Joe Jackson. You should try "It's Different for Girls" "Sunday Papers" and "Breaking Us in Two"!!!!

[@breadnapkin]

and "Got the Time" and "Look Sharp!"

[@15scottie]

It's different for girls is a classic.

[@SamVance]

Definitely It’s Different For Girls as we as I’m The Man

[@primeminister66]

Breaking us in two for sure

[@razberrysky12]

Omg! Breaking us in two! You're killing me!!......So beautiful and powerful!!! "Maybe we can last an hour............"

[@JessieMouse8]

Literally my favorite song from the 80's. I've loved it since I first heard it when I was 7 years old (1982). I have lots of favorites from the 80's but there's something about this song that just always makes me feel happy. ❤️

[@willE84]

Only song of his I know but it's one of my favorite songs. Find myself singing/humming it all the time. Gotta once again shout out GTA: Vice City because that game really put me onto some great music and artists I'd have likely never given a chance to--Joe Jackson, Spandau Ballet, Psychedelic Furs. Even made me a fan of Hall and Oates, who my mom had me hating back in the day lol.

[@andrewbittle6854]

Love Joe Jackson, I would suggest also a more hidden gem of his, "I'm the Man"

[@hevyonez97]

One of the definitive MTV classics of the 80s...when this song was popular MTV played this video almost every hour of the day, you just had to go to your local record store and buy the 45...I still have mine, and it's been 38 long years ago...lol...the song is magical and the video itself is even more of Joe's own personal love letter to the New York Nightlife in the early 80s...everything is captured beautifully, and everybody in the video is looking their most fabulous, even the sweet maid who can only imagine herself in the dress of the woman out on the town with her man...5th grade memories right here for me! 🤟🏿😎🎵🎶

[@englishmaninmedellin7294]

Also one of the most original and inciteful interpretations I have heard. I never thought of it. It sounds like he means an older couple enjoying themselves.......

[@floorticket]

"Is She Really Going Out with Him?", "Sunday Papers", "I'm The Man."

[@laurakali6522]

Me and friends going out on Friday nights to the clubs.....such great memories...

[@annesmith2259]

In my top 10 this tune !! Love it

[@dantolbert324]

this is one of the few videos that my wife liked way back then & would actively get into Joe Jackson's music. I had always thought of this as a "guy's song", meaning that it was how a guy wants to give the girl All the World, and More... then I have noticed female names on the reactions to it, & the Vevo & MTV videos of his music.

[@annesmith2259]

Dan Tolbert I’ve always loved this song, it evokes a feeling in me and I’m unsure what it is exactly... the song is a gem .. your wife has taste

My boyfriend took me out to eat We went into the bar area afterwards They played this song He proposed later that night Hes now my husband We've been together for 38 yrs :)

Lovely Story Diane. I moved from Inner to The Outer London Suburbs 38 years ago on the 9th May 1983...:)

[@EatTravelSteve]

joe jackson " is she really going out with him "

[@WashashoreProd]

Big favorite of mine from that era.

[@AngriestAmerican]

This was the 80's!!! I used to hang out with some great friends and all our fast cars,cruising around, seeing the sight and hearing the sounds!! Now, no one leave the house!!!

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

One of the most underrated but versatile musicians of the early 80s.

[@michaelloveland1330]

One of the best periods of my life was when this (as an LP) was just out. Many happy hours with friends, and this was nearly a theme song.

[@suzanneanderson6921]

Great song

[@jeffhudick2385]

Loved this when I was a kid. Takes me back to younger days and the early years of MTV. I don’t really know what genre of music this song is but the way Joe Jackson sings it, it sounds like new wave meets punk. Very unique song. It was very different from everything else that was on the radio and MTV in the early 80’s.

[@kennerthallen2132]

The maid & the pianist were living on the crumbs of the wealthy couple. He was writing music on the grand piano & the maid was dancing in the ball gown. They were stealing.

[@andyleclerc3600]

I love this music video...so stylish and classy☺

[@MrRabbit43]

Cute reaction ! Right on the money IMHO ! Loved it ! My buddy is the guitar player with the touring band !

[@dantolbert324]

When you paused & mentioned "step out & have some fun", I am not sure that you noticed MAID WAS DAYDREAMING of the Dancing Date......... but, I think you picked up on that towards the end of video. I always loved that maid & singer were together in Borrowing the "good life" for a little bit.

[@steveford8999]

Just an FYI, if you didn't know, JAckson played all the instruments on this recording.

[@sfbayareagirl]

Awwww!! I LOVE this song and it’s still on my playlists today. Reminds me of tripping the streets of Georgetown and Adams Morgan (DC) in early 80s. That rhythmic beat so cool. The lyrics so lovely. I’ve been waiting for someone to discover Joe Jackson. So happy you found this timeless gem. ❤️

[@simonlitten]

I never really squared the upbeat lyrics with the downbeat minor chord arrangements of this song. Truly sweet and sour. And very, very well executed. Joe Jackson was so under appreciated.

[@amoremusica]

I still listen to this song. Loved growing up in the 80s.

[@johnashley327]

Pure 80s right here.

[@garylindsey5174]

"It's Different for Girls "

i love this music, the beat is delicious to hear.

[@peggyryan2851]

Joe Jackson for a great Tuxedo Junction and Jumpin'Jive.

[@kempmt1]

I remember this song hit number one on the radio show "American Top 40 Countdown". It was up there a few good weeks until displaced by another song.

[@adolfomcasasjr4668]

Mr. Joe is an underrated 80s rock star. My view

[@jowbloe3673]

I picture it as stepping outside your life. Others have picked up on the maid dreaming of the glamorous life while dancing with the woman's dress, but Joe was doing the same thing. That wasn't his room and his piano as we see the man that was out with the glamorous woman come home while Joe hits the streets.

[@grumpyoldgraymetalhead2441]

I have heard some say this song is about the afterlife. Not sure but an interesting take on it.

[@007ndc]

Beautiful early 80s New Wave classic song

[@scottkinney8678]

Summer 82 saw him live at the Waikiki Shell which is a giant stage shaped like a shell open air Amphitheater with seats and a lawn this venue is set in the heart of Waikiki. It was Joe and an entire band complete with horns imagine seeing this performance with a moonlit Diamond Head as your backdrop. From what I remember it was a truly magical evening.

[@tylerbuckley2092]

I first seen this video on MTV back in the eighties great song

[@vinnytesla9731]

you know human nature .... your chi and aura is brilliant .. nice review

[@dbarrett4656]

Love that song. I agree, confusing video... however, I noticed both the maid & Joe Johnson were “working class” living vicariously thru the rich people. Joe was on the rich guy’s piano & the maid was fixated on the rich lady’s dress... but that’s all I got.

[@pablogaeta3815]

best joe jackson song: You Can't Get What You Want (til you know what you want).

[@vincenthewlett4329]

IMO this is the best song from thy 80s

[@ChirumboloFilm]

The best thing about Joe Jackson? He pretty much reinvents his approach to music and genre every album.

Joe Jackson does a surprisingly great Beatles cover of Eleanor Rigby.
