MISSING PERSONS - Words | FIRST TIME HEARING REACTION

[@iamstevec1656]

Some of their other hits (all good)- - Destination Unknown - Mental Hopscotch - Walking In L.A.

[@MarkChappell1]

Don't forget my favorite, Noticeable One.

Singer - Dale Bozzio. Prog-God Drummer, Terry Bozzio, played in Frank Zappa's 70's Band, late 70's UK second Album, and late 80's Jeff Beck Band. (I saw Terry Drum for Jeff's Guitar Shop Tour.)

If I was going to put an example of 80s new wave senth pop in a time capsule - I'd put this video inside.

[@Brandi6666]

For sure,for sure🤘❤️

My dad was a professional musician....a drummer. He played for people like Tony Orlando, Burt Bacharach, Englebert Humperdinck and Paul Anka. Although he and I had SOME "pop" music in common, we were pretty far apart when it came to music. I was into Kiss and Led Zepplin, and he was into Chick Corea and the Brecker Brothers. One day, I was listening to an Album in my room (Spring Session M) and he knocked on the door. He stood and listened to the rest of the album with me. When it was over, he asked who the drummer was and we spent a couple of minutes pouring over the album cover. He was thoroughly impressed by Terry Bozzio (for good reason) and was actually into "MY" music. It's funny how music can bring people together like that.

Terry Bozzio on drums (wife is singer). Saw him with UK in 1979 and he is simply incredible.

Love Missing Persons! Their 1982 album Spring Session M is start to finish great.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

My best friend older brother was a roadie for Missing Persons…… back in the day, and when they came to Boston in the summer of 1983 he got us in the pre show party in the dressing room and got to party with Dale 🥰. I was 17 yrs old, FRONT row seats for all shows when they were in town ❤️ Check out…… 1) Noticeable One 2) Destination Unknown 3) Walking In L.A. ❤️ 4) Rock And Roll Suspension

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Dang, now that is an experience!

[@mikefrost5022]

The guitar player played with Duran Duran for a while after leaving Missing Persons.

[@willfromyadkinville]

wooooooooooooooooooooooo! Destination unknown, Walking In L.A. Mental Hopscotch! lets go!!!!!!!!

[@BringItMAGA]

I saw them at Magic Mountain Valencia CA in 81? It was supposed to be 1 free concert for 5,000 but 20,000 showed up. I got to hear a whole concert in line before they performed for us.

[@ronaldelliott4373]

It wasn’t a hard transition to get on board with Missing Persons at all. Saw them live before they broke out. Dale and Terry were moving the needle towards techno pop with unique ideas and talent. US Festival performance was great…

[@bearballin]

Like OMG, finally a Missing Persons reaction! MP was the shizz in the 80s. This clip was from MTV Live, along w another song "Mental Hopscotch", my fave by them. They had tons of hits, try and check out their live performances from US Festival concert, "Walking in LA", and "Noticeable One". 🔥

[@kallsop2]

New Wave at its best in 1981. Dale Bozzio the vocalist also worked with Frank Zappa. I got into them and I came from the 70s rock and progressive rock. At this time I was also into The Police, The Talking Heads, The Cars, Devo as well as still into rock. This is a live version the album version is cleaner with the vocals. Mental Hopscotch is my favorite of theirs.

[@RockChick63174]

A very natural transition. I loved it all.

[@jesselobo3213]

I still listen to Spring Session M. It was a fantastic album that came out about 1983. Destination Unknown, Walking In L.A. Windows, It Ain't None of Your Business, Noticeable One are my favorites from this great album.

[@steverusso177]

Love Dale Bozzio. Great choice.

[@jons.105]

Did anyone else see them perform at the US Festival in SoCal in the early '80s??

[@ronbecker7939]

“Mental Hopscotch” even better!

[@justjack0715]

Gee...I wonder where Lady Gaga got her inspiration from! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@rabrab3]

Absolutely LOVE this band!! Check out Destination Unknown, Nonbody Walks in LA and Mental Hopscotch. Dale Bozzio was Gaga before there e was a LadyGaga.

[@JohnnyLichtergud]

Oh, the bubble bra. That just never gets old. This was a damn good record; this was 1 of 4 radio singles. Music worth paying for.

[@nancysmith38]

The 80’s new wave era was so fun for this hippie chick that was a teen in the 70’s…… it was fun!!

[@doplinger1]

It’s that clear plastic bikini that caught my attention!

[@kentmains7763]

The lyrics are fantastic, the song is even better.

[@RockChick63174]

Oh, I loved this group!

[@davidmckenzie420]

One of the few albums I bought during this era. Still like it.

[@stephenfredrickson4722]

So true!

[@troyshilanski380]

So relevant. I agree.

[@thekookooman1991]

Early New Wave at it's finest! Possibly influenced Lady Gaga a bit?

[@troyshilanski380]

Wow missed this one.

[@brandonjones1349]

Great song. Great reaction as usual brother! ☘️

[@timothydeweese6931]

Dale Bozzio is who Lady Gaga was trying to be early in her career.

[@librarylady13]

❤❤❤

[@bobschenkel7921]

In the 1980's having Ronald Wilson Ray-Gun as "President", was a big SUCK. Fortunately, the music scene was pretty cool, lots of different styles and genres, lots of variety. Dale Bozio, her name is Dale, like Racecar Driver Dale Earnhardt, but she is most definitely a woman, and she has the quirkiest vocals of anyone I've ever heard. Wonder if she can still reach those squeaky high notes, it would be interesting to find out.

[@brandonjones1349]

1st. Bwahaha ☠️☘️💥

[@troyshilanski380]

Look at the lyrics. Dale was way ahead.

[@Brandi6666]

Sexy girl right there. And a well put together song🤘❤️

[@steverakes6182]

Unfortunately our world is almost over.

[@andrewgarrett3555]

The album version is superior.

[@Chase57Tx]

Unfortunately catchy 80's hit that I wish I'd never lived through.

[@garyarnett1220]

Sorry dude you don't quite have the physique to rock that outfit.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

I can't argue against that 😂

[@Shabenn]

The look of this band took away from how good they actually were. Good choice here.
