Underrated song, Underrated musician. Nick Beggs genius.

[@robhaskins]

Totally agree about Beggs and the song.

[@ozaernajim4315]

Had no idea about this one ....defly love the keyboard beginning

[@tinapearlsound7611]

I absolutely love it! ❤

[@claudiawilms2605]

Who's still listen to in 2024??? Always amazing

[@massimodambrogio]

Never stop, it's just brilliant 🎶🎶🎶

[@marcelostanley860]

Absoluty amazing. I love this song. Nick Beggs is a perfect musician

[@helenhasdell1530]

Islands is absolutely amazing and melodic album, every single tune is legendary, it's 2020 and it's still in my headphones🥰 I totally think Kajagoogoo post Limahl was underestimated and Nick Beggs is real cool😎

[@guymichel8533]

I agree with you. I still listen to it today as I did in 1984! Amazing band with Nick Beggs in lead role.

[@greg27zz]

I agree, a great album. Loved it in 1984 and still do. I was gutted when Turn your Back on me only got to number 47 in the chart.

[@helenhasdell1530]

@David Chatterton Absolutely agree with you

[@mikekaraoke]

@@greg27zz In the UK yeah, at least it was a hit single in other countries like: Germany, Holland, + Sweden.

Kajagoogooo's music is prototype of music 80'th! Excellent!

[@georgemathie8123]

The last 2 kajagoogoo albums are such treasures in their own unique way and Nick Beggs and company take this iconic 80s band in a totally wonderful new melodic direction and boy this band had some amazing musicians to

[@Thirteenwindows]

This band is completely underrated. Their music is unique

[@sallyjoan]

is it? Where are they now then? Gone, so shows how great they were.

[@kingperalta]

@@sallyjoan that doesn't even make sense. the fact that a band isn't active after 40 years (or not as much) doesn't have anything to do with how great their music was.

[@sallyjoan]

@@kingperalta great music, hahahaha!

[@CanisLupusZDS]

They were way ahead of their time. Still ❤️ 'em! 80s Gimme that bloody bass! Eargasmic!!!! ❤️

[@gagilaki9110]

Istina, ovo je jedna od grupa što je udarila kamen temeljac muzici 80-tih. Šteta što se danas slabo vete.

[@donronn71]

This Bass ? How much can it play ? He is amazing.. Haha 👍

[@donronn71]

@@gagilaki9110 😅👍

[@SpookyElectric319]

Agreed. The quintessential Beggs bassline.

[@productplacement39]

This second incarnation with the bassist as the lead vocalist sounds like a mix between Duran Duran, Tears for Fears and the early electronica form of Depeche Mode.

[@petraluger5357]

once upon a time..in the 80s..there was a very young man, who´´s the best bass player....

[@zacharyg5149]

This song was a big hit in the U.S. club scene, despite it failing on the pop chart.

[@bakerstreet221b3]

it was a big hit in Poland too

[@ajs41]

Funny how the US has all these different charts, here in the UK we just had one chart with every type of music in it.

[@jackjude]

@@ajs41 He didn't mention other US charts. Although the UK has other charts too, Classical, Rock, Independent, Dance etc. Just not as high profile.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@ajs41 As someone from the UK, you must know we had other charts apart from the UK top 40-really confused!

[@aj6ey-hn1paul78]

I came of age during the 1980s & never knew about the sheer raw talent of Kajagoogoo until the third decade of the 21st century. They had mad skills to pay the bills back in the day.

[@LaPetite510]

🤔😳🤣🤣🤣

[@birightswilbursoot6048]

This song should’ve gone higher in the charts. I may not have been there but I know I would’ve enjoyed seeing them on totps in the 80’s

[@mikekaraoke]

Was a shame about the UK charts, getting outside the top 40 but at least it was a hit single in: Germany, Belgium, + Holland!

[@markc5111]

I love this band. I will never get sick of their music. Im just gutted that they came and went so fast.

[@laurenjohnston3390]

gorgeous and actually play their instruments.

Nick Beggs on the Chapman Stick. Pure class.

Very impressed! That bassline is friggin awesome!

[@DreFromMaine8472]

This is one of my favorite Kajagoogoo songs that Limahl didn't sing lead on, I really like how it sounds!

this is so delightfully 80s i cant get enough hahhaha

Nick Beggs’ hair was awesome in this!

[@mclovin7375]

Look up under 'Nick Beggs' channel at yt, where he makes fun of people cold calling him. He has great hair nowdays too.

[@amandajstar]

Have you seen the pippi longstocking pigtails? I think he's moved on from them now, thank god.

[@calzabbath]

First album like Duran Duran, second like Prince. Had both eons ago, still remember Kajagoogoo as something that could have been incredibly great but for some strange reason faded into obscurity, none of their members securing anything afterwards.

[@101Strings]

I didn't realize there was another version of this video. I like it.

[@RocStarr913]

101Strings This is the American version of the music video. The band had shortened its name to Kaja by then and their Islands album was totally repackaged and released with the new title Extra Play there. The music video is also set to a remix made for the song’s American single release done by producers Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero.

[@tchefo]

Europe has another better version :)

[@ebbhead20]

@@tchefo nope.. This is definitely the best version video wise. And the two mixes are not that different that it matters. But the vids never really went with how classy the music was. This video is the first one to do that. The bits that seem out of place is all the UK stuff. The guy who did the US video had some good ideas. I wish they'd used him from the get go..

[@101Strings]

@@ebbhead20 I like the original version too and I'm glad this version includes scenes from that one.

[@matju2]

One of the guitars, as seen at 0:36, is a Chapman Stick : a guitar with a very wide neck, many separate strings (both bass and treble), meant to be played with two "left hands" (just pressing).

[@JanetStarChild]

Damn I wish I was born 20 years earlier (was born in 81). Would have been nice to experience the 70s and 80s as a teen and young adult. Even if it means I'd be much older now, I don't care; I hate this new millennium anyway. Fuck it.

[@sallyann16]

That made me laugh!! Class comment.

[@dumnicka]

FunkYeah probably you are right. I was born in 70s and I was listening to this kind of music as a child. How I loved the music. In that time there were so many grate bands. Now I'm frustrated with the people and their way of thinking. The world is dying because of people fears and mentality.

Pleasant surprise there, with hints of R&B and funk I can probably see it getting some spins on a few R&B mixes and stations.

[@eklektikTechno]

@@UltraPOPDJ The Hotmix 5 and others would spin this stuff in their DJ sets, they played everything from italo, electro, house, industrial etc… I doubt GCI or BMX would of played it doing normal hours but the late night mix sessions was everything dance under the sun ☺️

Kajagoogoo could have been mega stars but they sacked limahl it went against them, good musicians but you needed you're vocal point and charisma that was Limahl.

[@Murgatroydian]

Agreed. Limahl had a child-like wonder that connected to the audience. These guys are brilliant but standoffish. Beggs sings well, but his timbre is better suited to harmonies. Easy to point the finger in hindsight though lol

[@Silver-cl2bd]

There were 5 til lead singer got kicked. Thankfully they reunited to do some shows together and settle the hard break-up.
