🎵 NAKED EYES "ALWAYS SOMETHING THERE TO REMIND ME" REACTION

[@metalmark1214]

As a metal head, I surprisingly like this song. Could be best described as the anthem of the girl who got away that you are always thinking back about.

[@michaelasay8587]

Do u like Karen Carpenter?

[@riocannistrano756]

I'm a huge metal guy too and always dug this song and a lot of the early 80s new wave/ Brit synth pop .

[@richardarriaga3876]

Damn, bro. You're absolutely right.

[@kenross9026]

Yep you are correct sir, same for me ,the one that got away ,hopefully she at least thinks about you sometimes

[@flipjupiter1]

I'm a metal head too, but I must say '80s Pop and New Wave is better than any other music.

[@natecloe8535]

I currently deliver for instacart on the weekends. I swear to God, I JUST walked out of Aldi and this video was next up. As I left the store listening to this video Aldi started playing THIS song. It was perfect!

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Lol.

[@Uninvited72]

🤣😂

[@laurabrevitz3944]

😂

[@MichaelTScott-wb4di]

The only other song I know from Naked Eyes is "Promises, Promises" and it's one worth listening to. The funny thing was, as someone mentioned before, "Always Something There to Remind Me" was a Bacharach/David song. That same writing team had their own "Promises, Promises," so, naturally, people thought Naked Eyes were doing another cover of their work, but their version was a fully original song.

[@spyretto]

Bucharach has written some of the biggest hit songs of all time, it's time they did a proper 1960's stream. Or even better a stream of Burt Bucharach cover songs.

[@brentottoson6974]

Fun song with lots going on musically. That ping at the end of each phrase during the chorus is my favorite. Level 42 - There's Something About You

[@Azriel261]

Growing up through the late 80's and the 90's gave me a rather eclectic interest in music and this is one of my favorites

[@rodb9275]

80's music is so special to me, since those were my teen years. This song was one of the ones that I loved so much! Promises Promises is another good one by them.

[@barriehull7076]

"(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" is a song written in the 1960s by songwriting team Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Originally recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick in 1963, "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" "This unabashed house cover of Dusty Springfield's 'Always Something There To Remind Me' is already on its way into the dancefloor history books. Sandie Shaw, who consequently covered the song for the UK market. Rush-released in September 1964, the song was premiered by Shaw with a performance on Ready Steady Go!, the pop music TV program. The first week after its release, the single sold 65,000 copies.[2] Shaw's version reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, spending three weeks at the top of that listing in November 1964, and that same month it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100.

[@mibesto8039]

People tend to forget this. The Dionne version is a classic! Burt & Hal were fantastic songwriters. Hal David is still creating classic tunes!

[@davidnelson6874]

The percussion in this song is A+. It drives the song. I love the church bell effects and vocals. It’s impressive, and happy!

[@citypaintersllc2874]

I was overseas in the service when I heard this 80s jam ...I was in Germany 🇩🇪 in 87

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

This song's good, but they have a great song called, *"Promises, Promises"* You should totally react to it!

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

Also originally done by Dionne Warwick in the '60s!

[@prodigal71]

Just so dang catchy....I find myself singing the chorus in the most random of situations

[@TebiCr]

Never listened to this song before but is going to my playlist, great song, I really like the singer's voice

[@norme10]

This song came out when I got my first crush in the 5th grade, and I always associate it with her. Hi Nicole.

[@personalinformation9963]

Norman and Nicole sitting on the couch!!

[@jonjoyk5130]

Hi daddy… it’s me

[@DapperZach]

The lead singer has an amazing enchanting voice

[@RETNASCANZ]

This is one of my favorite pop songs from the 80s. I recently found out it that it's a cover originally done by Dionne Warwick and then later by Lou Johnson.

[@gstar4784]

There really is always something there to remind me

[@NoCanDu]

Best Naked Eyes song is “Promises, Promises!”

[@jack-of-all-trades1234]

I came to say this. That's the go to song.

[@gamexsimmonds3581]

True

[@ilovethe80slovesongs21]

That one is good too!

[@xxbodycountxx7626]

Absolutely.

[@i.marchand4655]

So are they big Burt Bacharach fans, or Dionne Warwick fans? Just curious.

[@kevinkarbonik2928]

Brings back huge memories of someone I was dating waaayyy back.

[@mikecaetano]

Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote "Always Something There to Remind Me" for Dionne Warwick back in 1963. Jose Feliciano included a great cover of the song on his top ten debut album in 1968.

[@surlechapeau]

Other great Bacharach&David songs: "(They Long to Be) Close to You" - The Carpenters; “Walk On By”, "Anyone Who Had a Heart", "I Say a Little Prayer", others- Dionne Warwick; "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" - B. J. Thomas; "What the World Needs Now Is Love" - Jackie DeShannon. Hal David(lyrics) + Burt Bacharach(music) = Timeless Music.

[@joesmith8725]

New wave classic! Cover of an old Dionne Warwick song. Great band and made nice music, danceable music. Check out their video/song "Promises, Promises". Another classic.

[@duguaypierre6608]

naked eyes is an underrated band you should listen to when the lights go out..a very good new romantics new wave band naked eyes

[@allencampbell3866]

This is a great song but Lex vibe dancing to it makes it much greater. Well done Couch Gang y’all my favorite couple

[@kathyembley455]

This is going to stick in your head all day! I lived with this playing on every station in my car during the 80’s 😑

[@josephrotenberry6837]

Always liked this. I was in High School when this version came out. Reminds me of HS ex-girlfriends every time I hear it.

[@josephrotenberry6837]

Me too. HS, ex-GFs, the whole deal

[@auralfixxation6702]

This song is always there to remind me of a much better time in life.

[@eddieclay5813]

Loved it! So many popular 80s songs had a similar synth/orchestral sound. Some became classics or hidden gems but have hard names to remember, such as 'The Promise' by When in Rome (Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack), ABC's 'The Look of Love' and Kajagoogoo's 'Too Shy.' They probably won't win any live stream polls, but all are awesome and highly recommended!

[@jonnno243]

The version of this song that I heard first was in around 1964 by Sandie Shaw. I didn't then know that Dionne Warwick had recorded a year earlier. I love both versions. Now, this version is different to those two, but i like it. There is something about it that reminds me of "The Divine Comedy" singing National Express. (or do The Divine Comedy remind me of Naked eyes)

[@richardhenderson9767]

Let me just say that the current grocery store music, is AWESOME!!!😀😀😀

[@ilovethe80slovesongs21]

This was originally sung by Dionne Warwick but I love their version as well. Good reaction to this band!

[@mikeshoe74]

always knew this was a cover, but never bothered to check on the original till now. To no offense to a music queen like Warwick, this is the better version.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

My grocery store plays such good Rock music! It's easy to get lost in it and spend to much $$. They are local in a small town.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Thanks for reacting to this song! Such a classic. Request: Naked Eyes--Promises, Promises. Lex, trying to "shoulder rick roll" Brad haha.

[@coreyz.2800]

There was an episode of the old "Xena: Warrior Princess" show that went a little "out in left field." The whole episode was a musical, with the characters singing covers of a crapload of popular songs, and this one made the list. The character, Draco, had been put under a "love spell" and was obsessed with Gabrielle who, of course, rejected him because he's a villain, and this song was adapted into a sort of narration of his mental state due to the spell. And gotta admit, it was a pretty interesting take. You can see for yourself here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXOsaa2uja2iprc

[@robcarmichael1508]

The beginning of this song reminds me of Christmas 🎄.

[@flipjupiter1]

80s New Wave and Pop will forever be the greatest decade of music. The 80s were the best for everything anyway.

[@AW-yj6md]

Loved that ya'll gave this a listen,..think this song came out first when they're album dropped,..yess Lexx its very bouncy,..huh but not so much grocery store music,..I know people hear this music in the store and may not realize its a real whole song,..I heard Save It For A Rainy Day, by Stephen Bishop, in a store months ago,..and even I had forgotten who was singing, been so long since I heard it, but for me I knew it was a real song, you know?,..thats why I'm so glad you young people are dusting this music off and exploring it,..do check out Promises also by Naked Eyes,..its beautiful,..that song is why I bought the album,..best song on there,..enjoy young people,..Godspeed, Peace ✌

[@MySherry10]

Just a great tune, all these bring back such happy memories as a kid

[@davcuts2897]

I don't know why I enjoy watching these types of videos. I don't really care if the younger generation likes the music I grew up with or not. But it's fun to see their reaction. And yes sadly my jams from years past are now being blasted at your local grocery store. All I've got to say is thank god they don't play the awful music on the radio today. I'll take Naked Eyes, and you can keep your Justin Bieber.

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

This reached No1 in the UK in November 1964 sung by Sandie Shaw

[@spectre5x5]

Vintage 80s! Reminds me of high school!

[@BaronessErsatz]

AND it's a cover of a hit by Dionne Warwick!

[@bobbierobinson6269]

Now this song will pop into your head all the time.

[@solentbum]

Woolworths UK in the 1960's carried a range of cover records of current hits, lower prices lower quality. This sounds like one of them. And Brad, this really is Grocery store music. Please go find the original 1960's versions.

[@gary6754]

These songs always remind me of being a young boy during the 80's... much better times than 2022

[@BalbazaktheGreat]

Another great 80s pick.

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Fantastic song.always takes me back

[@johnhilton9023]

Those double tracked drums are 🔥

[@cdemp4795]

This is a great cover of a 1960's song. I loved this song in high school!

[@kassandrariemersma7902]

You will enjoy this alot lex

[@tafinzer]

Brings me back to 7th grade. 😊

[@richard_n]

Yet another classic 80s tune

[@leejames6800]

You had me dying with the phrase "grocery store music"... It is an actual thing! Different than elevator music, but almost like a cousin. Full disclosure - I love this song. But it is definitely grocery store music at this point.

[@mannyrodriguez3933]

Screw that I blare these kinds of songs while I’m driving. Shades and all. I get more people compliment the tunes coming out of my radio than the crap that gets played now.

[@leejames6800]

@@mannyrodriguez3933 You made me smile with that comment! I too play my 80's music loud and proud :) Be well my friend!

[@porflepopnecker4376]

"Promises, Promises" is their best song. Others of note are "When The Lights Go Out", "Flag of Convenience", "I Can Show You How", and "What In The Name Of Love."

[@nealm6764]

This song and band sound so much like "Soft Cell".

[@SilentBob731]

Definitely in my 80's Pop Top 10, love that y'all covered this one. 👍❤ Edit: Less enthusiastic about the "grocery store" analogy, but I'ma let that one go... 😉

[@shannonbennett987]

I always felt like the drums sounded like they were lifted from an Adam and the Ants song but I can't quite pin it down.

[@personalinformation9963]

Thank you - my iPad type thing is now on an Adam and The Ants trip. : )

[@mtsula]

if something sounds good, it sounds good, whether it in an elevator or grocery store.

[@DurandCompton]

This is the song that puts me in mind of my wife. A most wonderful prize.

[@matthewenies3668]

IN the music video, the woman who plays the object of his affection looks a lot like Meryl Streep. LOL

[@awbree]

First heard this band on a K-Tel compilation called Street Beat with the song Promises Promises. I believe it was from ‘84.

[@jeffreyrichardson]

billy and lisa the way robert stone treats her land cruiser keys kerr

[@floorticket]

Guilty pleasure when it came out .... oh the guilt. Didn't know it was a cover until a decade or so ago.

[@da_blade5040]

W0W a blast from the past 😁

[@josephhertzberg2734]

I think because of their ages, they don't realize how groundbreaking and different post-punk new wave was. It was blowing our minds It was OUR music, it was from the youth and it was so different from the previous self-important 70s rock that was 'serious' music. New Wave was fun and frolicking and computery

[@wheelmanstan]

They have a ton of amazing songs, songs that all sound different from the other

[@NYVoice]

Pet Shop Boys song What Have I Done To Deserve This featuring Dusty Springfield. Similar to this but more dance-like.

[@kevinstarr516]

I used to sing this song to my girlfriend when I was in high school back in 1984

[@toddwinchester328]

80s baby

[@toddwinchester328]

You should list to the Little River Band..great 70s and 80s band

[@kimcutts424]

Originally a song by Lou Johnson in 1964. Then Sandie Shaw in 1965 ( A big hit btw) then Dionne Warwick in 1967 ( Another big hit). Its been covered numerous times since then, but they weren't the big hits like Sandie & Dionne.

[@Sloppatola]

Ya'll gotta check out some more of this "only in the 80s" music.

[@CaptWalker]

For some reason i always thought this was a longer song, and the reaction to it would have been much longer than 5:19...but i guess maybe it did turn out to be just a grocery store song you hear at Publix, while the cashiers are eyeing you to go ahead and check out which i probably should, and just ignore the rest of their BS merchandise which i really don't even need...

[@jeremyw.norwood1453]

Nostalgia invoked... LoL. Damn, I am old.

[@auralfixxation6702]

One thing is, this song really needed more drum fills. 😂

[@richardduarte5309]

I love it and hate it at the same time

[@thorstambaugh1520]

Best drums in all of the 80s

[@bryangeorge7495]

I got "rick rolled" to your page off of Tom McDonald's page. All I can say is, I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

[@reallife7235]

Extended version of Promises is even better - great bass on the MusicMan slap.

[@bluethunder7391]

Ok this a rare reaction. This is a cover version, but still great .

[@andrewburch1671]

She's giggly for this one. 🙂

[@footnotedrummer]

This is a great song!

[@BlackHatCinephile]

I don't remember the band, but I remember this song.

[@dawnpatrol700]

This was an 83 remake of a 60s hit. This version is better

[@spkrause]

Definitely listen to Promises, Promises next. Also Simple Minds Promises, Promises.

[@RoleReverse]

If you notice, the beginning of the tune are from the wedding chapel bells.

[@stevetanner3019]

This was an 80’s cover an old Burt Bacharach hit from the 60’s

[@StMichael7]

This song would’ve been better to listen to with the official video because it explains what exactly the song is about. It’s about a journalist who misses an ex girlfriend who became a famous public figure but because he’s job is to report on famous people he has to attend her press conferences and see her pictures in the news papers and magazines. She sees pictures of her getting married and it hard for him to do his job

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

Now listen to the original by Dionne Warwick. The Carpenters also did a Bachrach/David medley on one of their albums in which this was one of the songs.

[@Joshuadgog]

Promises promises is the other track they have. Its a good song.

[@philipchambers4165]

Will always be a Sandie Shaw song in the UK - though this version is certainly more cinematic and full on.

[@Steffe]

A good cover.

[@geneaikenii1092]

GROCERY STORE SONG??? This, my friend was a bigtime hit from this band from the U.K. and was all over the radio and MTV. It is not Musak, bro.
