Men without Hats - Moonbeam

From their album POP GOES THE WORLD, Montreal's band Men without hats video, MOONBEAM

[@phoenixx100]

One of the world's most underrated pop bands, with lots of deeper meaning (symbolic and mystical) to their songs and videos...

[@GabeAguilarMusic]

Thank youuuuu !! Living in China is so intelligent

[@Louisefalk78]

I like when you say mystical. Its like being put under a spell ( a good spell) and once you hear Ivans voice you are forever changed..

[@jimwind7589]

I could not agree more. The female singer has a beautiful tone. Would like to have heard more of her.

[@onelove132]

This song brings instant joy!!❤🎉❤❤❤❤cheers to creativeness and imagination!!We need this more than ever these days!! Positive vibes big time!!! Never loose your passion!!💫💕❤️

[@Kott_Anafiga]

rock band

[@KyleRHudson]

Honestly, one of the greatest albums of all time... ❤❤❤

[@gigi0372]

One of my top 10 favourite songs and yes I’m here in 2020! This song represents everything good and pure about the 80’s and makes me incredibly nostalgic....God, what I wouldn’t do to go back in time!!!! xx

[@cyberhat]

GIGI you’re so right...

[@darynflentje]

I never heard this song back when it was made but it is now my favorite song.

[@gigi0372]

@@darynflentje better late than never! 😉

[@eramosat]

MenWIthoutHats are quite simply wonderful. I cherish all of their albums, listen to them back-to-back all the time.

[@shawnmcewen6210]

I love these guys. I have this on tape but have not thought of this song in decades. I feel old and a little teary.

[@GIguy]

One of the most underrated bands ever, they were amazing!

[@gbj11]

I love this album and so many of the songs on it. It's really a hidden treasure, so quirky and playful but also kind of dark and it rocks in its own way. And the melodies are fantastic. And I like the videos too, cheesy as they are... they're so trippy, they take you to another place.

[@raggededge82]

The first album I ever owned. I love this record so much.

[@johnnyjoey]

I just rediscovered this song and forgot how much I loved it!

[@user-oo8zt1sc1c]

Ultra ssimple video, but accompanied by an AWESOME SONG!!! This band has something special, their songs are something else.

[@MarshalTennerWinter]

Great song from a phenomenal album. Probably one of the best albums of the 80s.

[@tht707]

I am just discovering them and this is just delightful.

[@ohadarnaoduran7521]

Hola soy de Perú de la ciudad de Limae llamo Ohad este fabulosa canción la escuchaba en las radios de 1987 tenía 12 años ahora tengo 46 añose hizo recordar mi adolescencia gracias por subirla Dios lo bendiga

[@fractalchez]

For anyone who likes this, get the album that it came from, "Pop Goes The World". A true unappreciated classic.

[@adambillson7494]

pop goes the world is an amazing song with such a bubbly tune! Ivan is awesome

[@v-town1980]

Bought it in '87. So good.

[@sehnbadt]

Still have my CD from 1987

[@robertsondruery9825]

Its a gem.

[@praszu]

@@adambillson7494 The actual song "pop goes the world" is rubbish. An examples of their good songs are "Where do the boys go" and "I like".

[@april9th1821]

Saw them live in concert twice. First concert supporting this album and second time supporting the Sideways LP.

[@garfield2851985]

Estos temas son clasicos de los 80s la epoca dorada de la buena musica pop, nunca mas en el futuro habran grupos asi de buenos

[@Aussie2011forJesus]

I love MWH and bet this video was so much fun to film, I love how it looks like it is out a fairytale. I miss the old sets, and no CGI - unforgettable!

[@FranklinUrena-tt8bx]

I love this song!

[@howardhelm141]

Saw Men Without Hats 1988 Grad Night at Disney Land, California

[@brucebengtson847]

First heard this at work (1986?). Loved it then, loved it ever since. On my top whatever list of all times,

[@bradybaile4549]

But the song and it's accompanying album released in 1987.

[@budbrigman]

Wow. They don't need to do a "literal music video" for this one ... One of my favorite albums.

[@kindacathy]

Love this cd Pop goes the world. I have to dance to every song. Love to hear the all the songs.

[@bowlbrawl]

i think this is their best song. they should be given the order of canada. they were canada's inxs, roxette, and duran duran and depeche mode all in one. that kid is mitsou!

[@etpicci5915]

As an italian, I could not agree more.

[@luclaflamme4712]

That kid is Mitsou really?

[@PalePrudence]

I love Ivan's flaily dances

[@francislemire2838]

Men without hats are in one of my top 10 fav groups. Ivan is a pure musical genius.. Voice is impossible to resist. But I'm not gay lol lol

[@3cs3hs]

I'm Canadian and they're one of the all time best Canadian groups for sure.

[@ericdell8150]

Merci beaucoup Ivan pour cette chanson tu fait partie des plus grand :)

[@qwertypoopbath]

That baby can sure play a mean keyboard.

[@joycemarshall1396]

men without hats cool songs they have 1980🤪😇🤩🥸😎🤠💙💙

[@mattstrom5348]

WOW IT'S LIKE THE SOUND OF YOUTH!

[@johndouwes2535]

Genius. I'm more into darkwave postpunk industrial etc, and dislike almost anything 'upbeat' but this is an exception which breaks the rule. Men without hats. wow.

[@maxmordon7295]

This is ostensibly upbeat, but that perception radically changes once you listen to Ivan explaining what this whole album is about...

[@ringlord2000]

RIP Phil Ashley (keyboards).

[@-mattwood]

I vote we bring the 80s back... As long as we can still keep today's tech too.

[@jrregan]

I agree. Men without Hat's album has a heck of alot of good songs. Not just a hit and filler. Top's still in my list of albums. It's one of the CD's that i've iTune'd (like with DCD, REM, etc.).

[@nikoletttorjay5756]

Ivan is incredibile handsome and cute here!

[@xyaqua]

I wanted to be Jenny's moonbeam so bad when this came out. One of the ten most underrated bands ever.

[@WhiteNoize01]

Would you still be Jenny's moonbeam?

[@sttubz]

@@WhiteNoize01 I would ✌

[@RetroCanuckJunkie]

Cyberhat, You don't know how long I had been waiting for someone to put a video of this song here!!! Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's awesome music like this which makes me call myself a Retro Canuck Junkie.

[@joevdb]

the way this song ends is brilliant. l o v e

[@AdrianHamburg]

I love this song.

[@TheDane2006]

I think they are/were pioneers for Canadian Music - Safety Dance - Moonbeam and Pop goes the world are some of me biggest favorites.

[@cyberhat]

Jenny is Ivan's feminine side. you need to listen to Pop Goes the World full album, it's a great one !

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Cool. I appreciate it more and 'Pop Goes the World' now knowing it's story. I think it's trilogy. What's the actress' name who played Jenny? Thanks, stay safe. God bless, Rev. 21:4

[@SeverityOne]

@@SevenDeMagnus Louise Court. A journalist, later became editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan UK and director of Hearst, and aged very, very well.

[@davidlindsay9564]

@@SeverityOne I don't think that's her, She's in Safety Dance, but I think thats it. I'm not sure if its the same Jenny in this and the PGTW video. The Jenny on the Moonbeam single doesn't look like the PGTW Jenny LP/single either.

[@Bunnykins69]

AWESOme!I use to use this tape to help me sleep at night when I was little. It gave great dreams.

Lenny Pinkas is known for Pop Goes the World (1987) and Moonbeam (1987), Jenny

[@crazyralph6386]

Wow, thanks! Been trying to find her name for years?

[@captaindaring]

I wish I could find the full version of bright side of the sun and the song walk on water. I love this album. Thanks for this great memory.

[@thechaosfairy]

Their aesthetic is so refreshingly un-ironic that I can't help but love this, even if the sets look like a school play. :-)

[@rickesh28]

Wow. Jenny is gorgeous.

[@mournblade1066]

Wow, Jenny is like 12 years old in this video.

[@darklordojeda]

the entire pop goes the world and rhythm of youth and folk of the 80's albums are all awesome. hard to find tho.

[@brianb5265]

I never noticed it until I saw this video the other night that Ivan Doroschuk and I had the same look going on with the pirate shirt, leather pants, and hair back then. I miss the 80s and 90s!

[@seans_bag_of_tricks]

i love this song! and man that female guitarist was hot.. as a sun and shined... like a M0:00NBEAM?

[@lefkytheshin]

Pretty girl, but she does look young.

[@Braewe]

@upleftdown I was wondering that too, though she certainly isn't PLAYING it. At least she's holding it left-handed.

[@Ceylaxp]

I think an elaborate set would defy the mood of the song, so childishly simplistic and sweet.

[@tomasztomczak2683]

Super muza😃😃😃

[@Bunnykins69]

They have another awesome song called Can You Walk on Water.

[@brucebengtson847]

I think this song should have been a bigger hit. Right up there with "Safety Dance". One of my all time favorite songs.

[@jimwind7589]

I can't stand Safety Dance -over played. They had so many other great hits.

[@johnwilliams8296]

BOOZE CRUZIN...THANKFULLY I WASNT DRIVING...VERY NICE GAL...

[@CaseyJuan]

This song and Timmy the Tooth share a room in my brain 🦷🪥🚫🎩👒🧢

[@ohmann402]

Great song. Lnf: this video was actually recorded on the moon.

[@evilstuie82]

Little known fact, known starts with a "K" :) But I believe they thought they were on the moon during filming LOL

[@lefkytheshin]

Known Fact: Neil Armstrong and Co knew how to spell known.

[@chekinger]

yeah! very creative video & song :DD

[@andreasboose5611]

Ivan: "LEGEND" !

[@Werwulfe]

@dunbar9finger it seems unforgivably unfair they were deemed so: my own personal list of Single-worthy favorites from MWH is in the twenties. So many under-appreciated classics. I think they were absolutely definitive as capturing what might be loosely termed as the 'Spirit of the Eighties', in look, feel politics and composition. They were (and are) sheer genius.

[@MusicMan6966]

Still listening to these guys in 2020...

[@v-town1980]

Why wouldn't you be?

[@marcelblum7226]

Que canción que voz femenina en los coros el vídeo lindo sin vulgaridades hermano de los videos pop goes the world y safety dance por favor y suenan como si hubiera sido grabado ayer man withouts hast que bueno y ella la muchacha de los videos y bajista Heidi García un amor ❤️ un abrazo y vivan por siempre los años 80 desde Santiago Chile Marcelo Blum

[@Long-HairedLuigi]

Ultracool song, but of course it makes a heck of a lot more sense when you hear it with the entire album, as it was a concept album about a fictional band dealing with the sudden rise and collapse of fame. As one mag put it: cartoonish yet dark.

[@maxmordon7295]

The collapse of our planet, you mean...

[@Long-HairedLuigi]

@@maxmordon7295 That's what I had thought too until I read an article on it claiming otherwise... but the album is so vague who knows? I'm at a loss

I always wondered who the girl was. She's beautiful!

[@Supersweetguy]

The girl on this video is Marika Tjelios on bass. She was first featured on the music video, Pop goes the world.

[@Erzahler]

+Resty Mervin Ponio: Is that a Rickenbacher bass she's playing? Paul McCartney, and Lenny Kilmister of Mötörhead, played different models, but they were both Rickenbachers.

[@unicusDOTcom]

Thats not her, I Googled her and it said she toured with the band, that girl is to young to be playing in the band. I think shes just an actor they used for the videos.

[@skywatcher1972]

umm hmmm. . . They could have focused a bit more on that Sweetheart on the Moon. Play that Bass, Baby! I mean, Woman!

[@joeylone2427]

Her name is Louise Court.

[@GabeAguilarMusic]

If this was release around the time of cranberries & savage garden it would have topped the charts…ughh actually ahead of it’s time😕

Ivan Doroschuk kept his new companions, Elvis, the Guitar Girl both from "Pop Goes the World", and the Snowman from "Where Do the Boys Go?". Sadly, the Jester and the Girl from "Safety Dance" aren't around.

The snowman is Bon homme. :)

Elvis here is his brother. who is a member of the band.

"Sadly, the Jester and the Girl from "Safety Dance" aren't around." Ya they hooked up and now have a little caravan somewhere in the UK with a bumper sticker on the door that says "If the Caravan's a'Rockin -Dont bother Knockin"

@Prayergirl100 Ivan is the lead singer of Men Without Hats.

[@user-dk6pl9lj3e]

The thing I like about their high-budget videos is, they're all SO different in style and they never reuse ANY of the same characters in them. I mean, just compare this to the clip for Pop Goes The World. What do they have in common, apart from the pianist baby, the terrible Elvis impersonator and the chick playing the guitar? NOTHING, that's what. AMAZING!! :D

whose baby is that!? seriously, thats talent, playing keyboard for two men without hats songs!

[@dunbar9finger]

MWH is known as a two-hit wonder (Safety dance and Pop goes the World) but that's really unfair because the other songs they did were even better. I this is my second favorite (the best one is Jenny Wore Black).

[@mulamoney]

Ivan is my uncle's cousin :P

[@Clayphish]

@Smijit1234 Actually you're right. I remember seeing these guys backstage in the 80's, where the singer was smoking a joint. My family actually has it on VHS as my brother was going around video taping everyone with a huge video cameras of the time. Funny thing is the singer actually offered my brother a drag while he was being video taped. lol I should go and find the video.. again. We used to laugh about it all the time.

[@smartlamppost]

You forgot to mention the song "I like"! D: LOL seriously though, these guys were simply labeled "The band that made 'The Safety Dance'... oh, and 'Pop Goes the World', I guess", then passed on... it's a load of bull!... crap! Same thing with the bugles, and I'm sure they aren't the only "one hit wonder" 80s bands to have this cursed title brought upon them; and you can help by donating just pennies a day to... whoops, got carried away! XD Bottom line, they're awsome, and hear "I like"

[@TheDane2006]

I cant figure out why this tune doesnt figure on Danish Spotify - yer cant find it in there and its their best tune - in my homble opinion.

[@RetroCaptain]

@wildboy789789 Good day The snowman is a character known as "Bonnehomme" The mascot of Winterfest. They included him firstly for fun,..secondly to "remind us" that the band is from Quebec! It's a co-incidence to the global warming situation. I have most of MWH albums..& still love to hear them on radio! Hey!...go check out fellow Quebec star Mitsou's song "Funny Place" (The World Is) You'll see who produced the song....(& maybe like her songs also)!
