Vinz Clortho Such great music 🙏🏻

[@SPAMDAGGER22]

From the criminally underrated 80s movie Valley Girl starring a young Nicholas Cage.

[@davidgoldstein1526]

I love that movie.

[@monicamad1285]

I love that movie too!!

[@danoriordan8044]

Had the biggest crush on Deborah Foreman from that movie

[@sonnyjames8922]

I didn't realize how much I like this one. Songs like this grew on trees back in the 80s.

[@holyspacemonkey]

One of my favorite one hit wonders ever! We used to go wild when this song came on in the dance clubs. To answer your question - they’re English. Times were bad in England in the very early 80s when they wrote this. Lead singer Robbie Grey said he wrote the song in 3 minutes, just off the cuff. It’s about a couple getting together during an atomic bomb. We were all very preoccupied with nuclear war then, or at least my friends and I sure were. A few years later the animated film “When the Wind Blows” came out and scared us even more. It was about an old couple getting radiation sickness after a nuclear attack. Roger Waters from Pink Floyd wrote the score. But “Melt with You,” now that you’ve heard it, it’s gonna stick with you! Trust!

[@Gaznugget]

You're right here in Wales I remember dancing to this back in 1983 and times were hard back then.

[@drewg5637]

This song was featured in the movie "Valley Girl" which also featured another song "A Million Miles Away" by the Plimsouls, which also became a minor hit for that band.

[@shannontaylor7236]

Omg I forgot about a million miles away! That song was amazing in the movie as well! I think I need to watch it again!

[@kimberlystark3944]

Don't forget "Johnny Are You Queer" by Josie Cotton! Played at the prom. ❤

[@kimberlyvarvorines4933]

Soft Cell - Tainted Love - the entire version is a good one from that era

[@anthonyblakely399]

Love this group!!! Love this song!!!! Saw them in concert in Santa Barbara 1989.

[@56music64]

My husband and I call this song "our song" it was out just as we met. Perfectly epitomized our relationship, then and still now. Soul mates forever

[@jeanhansen1333]

To me, this is the only quintissential 80's song that actually stands the test of time. It is just as great now as it was then.

[@nursemarn]

For sure! It definitely shows what was on our minds at the time. Remember doing duck and cover drills in school? Like that would do anything. I was so happy when that wall came down. Now our kids have to worry about terrorists and school shooters and cops. It’s equally horrifying.

[@CMZIEBARTH]

There are other such songs.

[@nursemarn]

@@CMZIEBARTH yes there are but I think that one really captures the worries we had about nuclear war. Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s it definitely influenced our generation (GenX) and how we perceived the world.

[@alrivers2297]

It's definitely not the only quintessential 80's song that stands the test of time. There's plenty, but I suppose that list would be different for everybody.

[@heathermclean-smith5893]

I can’t forget INXS and Depeche Mode!!

[@BigC.]

And growing up in the “valley” this was a huge hit.

[@whazzuphere]

Fer sure...like...TOTALLY!

[@6jjbncam9]

818 love

[@scm021374]

I grew up in Glendale. Love it there

[@garrickdouglas6804]

These guys are from the UK.In the 80's there was a Genre of music called Nu-Wave.

[@3DJapan]

Which is oddly now the name of an induction cooker.

[@jhoang861]

i was in that category in school and art school lol. miss those days ✌️

[@shellylauritsen5629]

This was new ro Which stood for new romantic

[@southernenigma3427]

I was listening to these guys in high school when NO ONE else was LOL Still love it today! However, my favorite band was the Ramones!

[@mikemaggio4979]

I hear you, I heard this first on Buffalo State college radio for at least 6 months before it got major airplay!

[@itscrazyal]

YES, another fan of The World Famous RAMONES!!! my favorite as well

[@itscrazyal]

@lady veruca grimes we accept you, one of us!

[@heathermclean-smith5893]

Ahhhh, the 80’s was such a great time with so many New Wave bands to dance to. Great bands to react to in this genre would be the Cure, Thompson Twins, Spandau Ballet, General Public, The Cult, Psychodelic Furs, and OMD. I could go on and on!! Obviously I love this era of music! Love your reaction to Modern English!

[@princessbimbleton8368]

My dude, you need to listen to Crowded House "Don't Dream It's Over" and then you'll want to take a deep dive in. Glad you finally reacted to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. Teddy Pendergrass is the lead singer. You'll dig his solo stuff "Only You" "Turn Off The Lights" THANK YOU for ALWAYS cheering us up at the end of a rough day .

[@SuperZadie]

Such a beautiful song, the instrumentals, wow, just wow. This song is still sounding great in 2020. 80's was a great time to be alive with this new wave music.

[@christywright4113]

As an 80's kid...I love...love this song and it never gets old listening too

[@Awall79]

@3:53 I always make whoever is around be quiet and I close my eyes and just experience it. My friends are all used to it because it plays pretty regularly in restaurants, the car radio, the mall.

[@superpac1966]

One of my favorites. I was in England when it came out. All over the airways.

[@Niecy70]

And I can't tell you enough any song from "the big chair" by "Tears for Fears" is amazing❤Truly

[@donnastrunk1745]

I think this was the first song added to my play list. Never gets old.

[@3DJapan]

You might want to check out "Come on Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runner. I think it was the band's only US hit but I believe they had a lot of albums in Ireland.

[@kathytoy5055]

Now that you're getting into the '80s, please check out Level 42. "Something About You" is a good place to start. They had lots of hits and just great music on their albums. Thanks, Jay.

[@Niecy70]

Pet Shop Boys, new shooz?❤ and oh my God level 42 something about you, omg amazing.

[@jankypop-a-matic58]

Level-42 had some killer synths! Cutting edge! 👍😁

[@megf8124]

One of my all-time favorite songs!

[@jeffmartin1026]

This song was/is such a breeze of cool air when I hear it. Such a great groove.

[@aprilcorbett]

I have always loved this song! One of my favorite genres was always British Alternative from that time frame. Also loved "I Ran" by A Flock Of Seagulls. I miss those good ole days : )

[@bethshadid2087]

Thank you thank you thank you a million times 🤗. Absolutely love this song 💗

[@remohio]

Excellent selection of reactions today

Always loved this song! Love seeing that the youth from now like it too!

[@sharikraft1706]

[@23skidoo46]

growing up this song and the movie it was featured in became so iconic for my generation. amazing song and movie. pure classic.

[@kathleenkildare8688]

LOVED this song since I was 13yrs old!! Never get tired of hearing it!

[@kathyjam2482]

I met them at a club in Ft Lauderdale years ago they were all so nice.

[@meeshaf2859]

From England. Brings back so many memories!

[@MRoyClark]

Abstract love longs are the most universal love songs.

[@shandac1027]

80s music is all about getting out on the dance floor and getting lost in the fun

[@andydurazo5337]

They did have a second minor hit in the U.S. many years after this song. It was titled Ink and Paper but those were it for Modern English.

[@leslie8888]

Omg, this takes me back! We would always sing this song loud in the car! 💞✌🎶

[@zivo24]

This song IS the 80s to me. We danced our asses off to it. We sang along with it every time we heard it on the radio.

[@TwistedSither]

I don't know how I made it through the eighties without hearing this song. I first heard it in a couple of commercials for M&Ms, and BK melts from Burger King, during the late nineties, or early 2000s. Since then, it seems that I've heard it at least once every couple of months.

[@bethshadid2087]

It was best in Valley Girl

[@stuff3829]

How could you not have heard this song before. It's been non stop on radio, commercials etc since it's release in the 80's

[@ralphvillanueva8724]

Great 80's song. A couple of other 80's songs to check out: Don't Dream its Over by Crowded House, or I Just Died in Your Arms by the Cutting Crew.

[@markoconnor995]

The humming pause is when he stops the world to ❤ his woman. Used in a lot of wedding receptions in the 80's and 90's and also used in the movie, Valley Girl, with Nick Cage and a phenomenal soundtrack.

[@bluegreyfogg]

This song has a euphoric dreaminess of the intoxicating state of being in love and of greatness to come! Miss those days!

[@janethernandez724]

I am so glad this is the only video that exists for this song. This version is how we originally heard this song this is the original version of how we grew up listening to this song on the radio! . Nowadays the radio stations here in SoCal they don't play this one, they play a version that sounds similar but with no background vocals and background lyrics! I still love this song though and I get happy when a radio station does play this version! I am glad you had the opportunity to hear this song! Hopefully it makes your playlist to enjoy later! Until the next time! Peace! ✌🏼☮

[@neilsmith9066]

This will be stuck in your head for days!!!!

[@sherizel421]

Ah the memories. I requested this song every time I went dancing!

[@b00jen81]

Another great one I loved as a teen! Dude, you're making me so nostalgic lol. When this one came out, I was actually still in grade school. But in the late 80's in high school when my friends and I would go out dancing, it still got played back then - and besides, we'd all fallen in love with it when we were younger and it was basically a classic to us. Of course, we weren't old enough to get into clubs in high school, but we were lucky enough where I lived to have clubs that hosted teen "new wave" and "goth" nights, so all us weird kids would put on our best black outfits and eyeliner and go do exactly what you talked about - get lost on the dance floor together :) *sigh* good times, good times...

[@julietenning7981]

This song's refrain was used in a chocolate bar ( candy bar in US) for quite a while in Canada. It is a great song. So sweet

[@howardwinning3392]

Modern English did a quarantine version of this. It's here on youtube. They sound the same after all these years.

[@ayseclark-carter8744]

O wow nice I remember this . I love the 80s that was my teenage years. O you just took me right back. Thanks Jay. They are from the UK great reaction Jay 😀😀💖💕💖

[@richardvinsen2385]

I saw Modern English on a double bill with Flock of Seagulls (meh) at the Riviera Theater in Chicago in 1986. They were great. They kept the crowd dancing.

[@laurakali6522]

Need some Howard Jones or Psychedelic Furs.....and you should watch the movie from which this song is known for...Valley Girl.

[@jankypop-a-matic58]

He definitely needs to get "Blinded by Science" and find some "Poetry in Motion" too! 😁 "Good Heavens Mr. America...you're beautiful"!...lolz 🎹 🤭

[@thedocofrock1890]

had just moved in with my new girlfriend [now my wife!] to her house in 1982 and had cable installed for the first time. mtv had launched the prior year in 1981 and had never seen it before. all mtv was originally was non stop music videos with no crap reality shows and other garbage and NO commercials. 24 hour videos with a break every now and then where the host would tell you what you just heard. this song was the very first video that came on when we turned on the new channel. holds a special place in my heart

[@rw4487]

This was new type of music for me back then new wave

[@MediciDee007]

One of my favourites from the 80's!

[@marshallmom1962]

Loved dancing to this song!! Didnt matter how tired you were, when the DJ put this song on, you ran to the dance floor and just started bopping!! It was a great line for guys to use.... LOL!!

[@charisse130]

Always loved this song! I'm a sucker for for heavy pounding drums!

[@newinLV]

Thank you so so so so much for this reaction!!! Takes me back to my freshman year in high school many years ago. Great reaction!

[@pp36]

Hands Across The Sea. Love that song.

[@claimguy]

Ahhhh, man - you hit my favourite new wave song. What a great groove.

[@Noelle0026]

Quintessential 80s song. Love it!!

[@michaellombard894]

Real real catchy and groovy ass song. Also has haunting riffs and runs.

[@marilynk30]

Love this song! Totally 80's!

[@kristiejenner2642]

A lot of these I don't recognize from the titles but after a few bars of the song I say 'of course I remember this one'

[@teresasilva14]

One of the best one hit wonders of all time!

[@shelleyUSATX]

Totally 80's lol. I heard it in Valley Girl a million years ago.

[@millerrmann]

One of my top 25 songs of all time.

[@kellysouza9939]

Who doesn't want a guy to stop the world and melt with you! I love this song! I think it's so romantic!

[@jamesdelcarmen7824]

In the Philippines way back there's another track "seona dancing" it has the same vibe and just as popular!!

[@stephanietip]

OMG,YES.I love this song.Still makes me wanna dance

[@chittyluv2651]

I love this song! I thought I was a punk rocker in Jr High! What a rebel.

[@vicsterhamster]

England had all the great 80 bands. This is one of the best.

[@michellechase4753]

One of the songs we danced to at my wedding.

[@jaimereynolds258]

Love this song! 80s music is my favorite. I probably listen to it 90% of my music listening time.

[@rowanwise406]

Ooh the 80's... I have to recommend 'Change' from Tears for Fears (Anything from the album The Hurting) or 'Under the Milky Way' from The Church.

[@Kell-hee-hee-hee]

Glad you dug it! Classic 80s song. Very fun and catchy. Hmm hmm hmm... I love that humming part. Saw the video on MTV a whole lot. That was funny when you asked what country they were from...ha ha. I know you were not surprised they were British. Once - I was young and I'm NOT comparing maturity - there was a German lady who came to our Girls of America meeting to speak. I raised my hand to ask "what language do they speak in Germany?" Duh! German! Ha ha. That was funny - and embarrassing because I was sitting with a group of my peers or whatever. Enjoy your day!

[@christimoisant1305]

And this one taking back to Valley Girl and I swoon :)

[@bethshadid2087]

Like totally 😁

[@juliedaly9897]

Thanks for tonight Jovaughn...... Really great reactions.... I've tried but I can't watch anyone else..... You are the best! ❤️

[@MusicFan1977]

It's not bad, but I was never a big fan of this song. However, it is probably THE song that best evokes 80s nostalgia.

[@timcarr6381]

It became famous because of the hershey choclate bar ads '''Melt with you'''... In England, where Modern English are from, few have even heard of them.

[@jesseshore3873]

Now this is a one hit wonder, in the sense that they’re only hit song (this song) was never actually a big charting hit but got huge after being in the movie Valley Girl

[@brucer2152]

Another 80's classic.

[@owenbunny]

Band is from the UK. It’s incredibly romantic to think that someone would stop the world to melt with you. They want to be so close to you. Probably creepy but I love it. Best song!!

[@rickl1401]

Was never a big fan of this song but it definitely brings me back to high school.

[@pam1574]

Great reaction 😃👍 Take a listen to “No One Is To Blame” by Howard Jones!

What is love? and New Song.

[@lisa_jetsgurl642]

They had another hit called "Hands Across the Sea" off their album Ricochet Days.

Always liked the change up on the very last line!

[@fatimasoares7261]

Love this song! So catchy!

[@jennifermorris6848]

In the 80s we were afraid of nuclear war. This song is about choosing a person the person you will die with and “melt” with as you are vaporized.

[@tigerwilliams7723]

You've gone across the pond my friend. I hope you packed a bag, you may be there awhile. Great reaction 👍

[@joannparker1977]

Love this Valley Girl song💕💕

[@jamesdelcarmen7824]

You're right about the dancing and getting lost with someone in the dance floor

[@falcongal63]

You can’t do 80’s without doing some Psychedelic Furs, who happen to be one of my all time favorites. Heaven, Highwire Days and Love My Way are great songs to start with.

[@jamesdelcarmen7824]

If you like melt with you, you would definitely love "more to lose" another iconic new wave ttrack

[@roger1296]

Love this song! Love the movie “Valley Girl”!!!
