Neon Trees - Sleeping With A Friend

[@Alassandros]

God, this song just *STICKS* Once I hear it, it's in my head for weeks. Good thing I love it.

Haha. 80s videos made no sense and I had no idea what was going on with half of them either. The music though, that was great. Great music and zeitgeist in the 80s.

[@anselmpeters1575]

Thumbs up if this brings back old vibes from summer 2014 👍

[@RightCenterBack321]

Thumbs up if you think this song would be a Top 40 hit in 1984.

[@rileywoodstock2054]

+E Drew What about 1983?

[@Yrrej8611]

+E Drew Honestly, IDK. Big Brother is always watching. I get the feeling he'd disapprove of "sleeping with a friend."

[@tarmale]

Yes, MTV wouldn't have played this song in the 80s. Now MTV really sucks and I can't even watch it anymore.

[@summerbalderston7334]

the video

[@lindasturm699]

Mostly definitely could be 80's both sound and video.

[@rpnvg]

It’s so weird. This song is officially 10 years old, now. It was officially released on January 1st 2013 via Island Recordings. Takes me back to college and the worry I had when dating my friend…who’s now my wife! I was so worried it wouldn’t work out and that I’d lose such a good friend.

[@hugejass269]

This is one helluva song

[@bells5533]

I love this song. It has that 80's feel to it, and so does the video. I wish they'd get more air- time, they're so underappreciated!

[@ElGordoBandito]

How does a video actually become more 80's than the 80's? Is this real life?

[@VenusTemple]

ButImBATMAN well, it IS Neon Trees..

[@cobra281]

ButImBATMAN Seriously. How high were they when making this video?

[@raizumichin]

ButImBATMAN Just like Dazed and Confused was more 70's than the 70's. Looking backwards makes it easier to identify the look of an era.

[@plutonianmuse]

Mandela effect?

Watching this with the volume turned all the way down is literally the funniest thing I've seen all week.

[@alexaluv6001]

Why?

[@Ukraz]

I wonder if historians 1000 years from now will be able to tell when this video came out or if it will confuse the crap out of them. "To combat the popularity of Michael Jackson's Thriller video, the music group Neon Trees broke the boundaries of what people thought was possible in the 1980s with their video for Sleeping With a Friend. Truly amazing that they did it all without computers."

[@nancysmith8626]

LOL!

[@alexisquinana2189]

This is comment too funny yo

[@TheCandygunner]

This band has a great frontman. I'd love to see them live sometime.

[@JMMT7022801]

I got to see Neon Trees in concert at the Dew Tour in Salt Lake a couple years ago.

[@DesireeWalker]

They're absolutely fantastic live. I had heard a couple of their songs before seeing them at a music festival last fall, but by the time the show was over I had so many songs stuck in my head. So much energy at their shows, it's awesome.

[@mrflinstone57]

I just saw them live today and it was fun lol. Lots of energy and creativity.

[@TheCandygunner]

Etienne Adams They played here in Okla. City about six months ago but I had a gig the same night. everyone said it was a great show. I heard the singer caught some flack for " coming out of the closet ". Why would anyone even care about stuff like that anymore ? I salute the gentleman for his art his talent and his being whatever the hell he wants to be. I hope this band is around for a long time. This is some great pop music.

[@danielj.tapanes9142]

Saw them one time when they opened for Maroon 5. They basically only had Animals but have grown a fair bit since then. Just getting back into them.

[@ZERO-rj1xv]

I don't understand what's so weird about the music video, everyones talking about it. I think it's interesting. I really like it.

[@JmBvhntnt28]

It is ...different that's for sure. In a good way. :)

[@BlastingRobin]

i love the style of the video

[@AwesomeFolds]

This is the kind of song you'll see kids in the future leaving comments on like "ugh music today sucks so much. I wish they still made songs like this? Totally born in the wrong generation."

[@MillennialJesus]

Very true

[@UtubeMaster30001]

So true. Every generation will say the exact same thing about the previous one no matter what subject:current state of society, pop culture, etc.

[@prettyrosezAG]

AwesomeFolds not exactly, I think that you still need to give this song a couple of more years because it was published in early 2014 and its late 2016 right now but there will be people commenting that in a couple of years for sure

[@lassejensen4525]

I kinda doubt it tho. I don't think this is original enough.

Alt Nation from 2010-2014 was so fucking elite, it was so many bangers that were dropping those years. All hits no misses, take me back bruv

[@Tyfreaky13]

For those trying to figure out some deeper meaning or significance to this video... There is none. From what I can see its based almost entirely on 80's MTV videos, even down to the hairstyles and 'cut jumps'. We all know that Neon Trees likes them some themes in their videos, and this theme screams "80's pop band".

[@creekandseminole]

Yes exactly. That's what caught my attention when I first heard it on the radio. I think it came when it got to the chorus and he sings "ooh ohh, ooh ohh". I'm trying really hard to think of an older song that is relatable, but I probably can't because it's like an amalgamation of everything 80's. Listen to the song "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit. That song is just like this one, but with an early 90's dance vibe going on.

[@bribubbles3768]

in my opinion the best song by neon trees!

[@daverichards308]

An old Mormon missionary companion of mine told me about Neon Trees. He's no longer in the Churchm, but we're still friends. We discuss and debate and argue like all friends do. I listened and I like his music. He's talented. Very retro. I shared it with some active Mormon Church friends of mine, you'd have thought I'd committed the biggest sin. LOL. Come on now, it's music!

[@bethanyannasophia]

I saw them once before (when they opened for My Chemical Romance). They were staying at the hotel I ended up at. I actually walked to the venue behind them. I was walking and I kept thinking "That dude looks way familiar. The hair." When they walked up behind the theater it finally hit me. Met Tyler later at the hotel (he was making some adjustment to the reservation or something and I was in the lobby microwaving food). I said hi and said how awesome they sounded at the show. He said thanks and asked where I was from. Then we talked about how long bus rides suck (I had taken a bus 17 hours one way to see that show). Then he shook my hand and we parted ways. I saw him and Elaine later too, sitting outside on the sidewalk outside their room while I was getting some fresh air and calming down from the awesomeness of that night. It was a night I'll never forget.

I definitely think it was the best decade cause it was just so damn fun. The clothes and hair were whacked but at the time it was normal!! LOL.
