The song is about obsession of another person for fear of losing what they have been used to for 5 years. In 1980 there was a Playboy centerfold named Dorothy Stratton. When she tried to leave her husband/manager for director Peter Bogdanovich, her husband killed her and then himself. A movie was made called Star 80. This song was supposedly inspired by it.

[@karenglenn6707]

Still love this song. So many memories of being young and free.

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

In 1981 the story line was not the big deal at first, it was the mind blowing electronic music. This music was a huge dance hit and burned the radio airwaves.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yes!

[@Lfg117]

🎯

[@christophermcconnell3867]

We were still jamming to this at Jr high dances in 1984 lol

[@Maizerus]

I like how you're both really into the story this song tells. Exact same effect happened to me when I heard it new in the 80s. Just goes to show you why the song is memorable and timeless.

[@Phillyjawn81]

U will like this song especially since u love the 80s but react to their song "Human". Love ur guys reactions, keep killing it

[@toddedwards5144]

This song was HUGE back in the day. Human League have many good songs. Their biggest hit in the US was the song “Human” which was a number 1 hit in the US in ‘85 or ‘86, if I recall correctly. Great stuff!

[@DC05570]

Minneapolis’ music producers (and Janet Jackson collaborators) Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced “Human” for them👍🏽

[@robcol800]

Don't you want me got to number one for 3 weeks in the USA selling one million copies. 🥳

[@dbradx]

Knowing the song, I can already imagine the argument lol. A huge 80s classic for sure, and another great choice - peace and love y'all! ☮

[@Xman156]

Another great 80s classic! You would also like Fascination by this group. And please also react to Hold Me Now by the Thompson Twins, you won't regret it!

[@daz4756]

Sound Of The Crowd, Open Your Heart, Love Action, Darkness & Seconds are all Banger's from this Same album (DARE). The Human League were masters of Early 80's Synth pop.

[@pipmaple]

At the forefront of the synth movement alongside bands such as Eurythmics,Yazoo, Erasure,OMD,GaryNuman,Blamange, Depeche Mode,Pet Shop Boys,Heaven 17

[@JazzDrummer1946]

Proof that some people just don't LISTEN to the lyrics of songs. Back in the day, our Wedding band had many, many, many, MANY requests for this song to be played as the "couples" song at their wedding. The first time, we were like...WHAT? We then realized, some folks aren't so much into paying attention.

[@R777-RLM]

Human League were my first new wave group, "Fascination," but also "Human," which was a huge hit.. Two great reactions. I've loved Rock/Metal, and New Wave/Modern, since I was a kid.

[@CragusMaximus]

Also... THANK YOU for reading my request for this song 🙂 top of the UK charts for weeks back in the day. Mum used to play this song all the time on her VHS recordings of top of the pops etc whilst little me sat there absorbed.

[@sarablack2547]

the group are from sheffield england and were an all male group that split and phil oakly the lead singer saw the two girls dancing in a disco asked them if they could sing.they joined the group.they were still teenagers when they recorded this.they were backing singers till this song.then it was like a toss of a coin to see which would take the lead. phil oakly got the idea for the song from a photo story in a girls magazine.based the video loosely on the star is born film(probably the barbra streisand,kris kristofferson version there have been 4)famous man finds girl with talent,helps make her famous,she leaves him. when he says we'll both be sorry i think he means he'll be brokenhearted and sorry he said things like i made you famous in the heat of the moment to get her to stay.and she'll be sorry cause she won't find anyone that loves her like him and if her career stumbles he won't be there to help. she was in love with him for 5 years but shes grown and isn't the same person and needs to leave him to continue her journey.she loves him but isn't in love with him. that's how i see it.

[@carolespinoza8469]

Dam this song still sounds so good after all these years🥁🥁🥁🎶🎶

[@xanajak]

This was early MTV to the bone. Mirror Man is another great song by them. Fascination too.

[@megavideopowermegavideopow8657]

Human League biggest hits”Fascination” and”HUMAN”they came to America and got with two of the biggest music producers in the world Jimmy Jam & Terry Louis for the second one

[@garym6688]

One of the best synth-pop songs of the early 80s. Always thought that main keyboard line sounded a bit ominous - like setting you up for the drama that was unfolding in the story. Plus, the fact that you hear both sides of the male/female debate but never hear the outcome - leaving it up to the listener to make up their own mind is really cool; they should've done a sequel song! Two other amazing songs by the Human League are the ballad "Human" (another he said/she said type vibe) and my personal favorite "Keep Feeling Fascination" which was a dance club burner in the 80s.

[@thecoolunclea.k.a.unclebea1158]

My favorite 80s song!! Yes!

[@World-Superbike]

This is like that scene from Meet the Millers " yes, and once again I know what you are saying... "

[@reneeadizon]

Yes, I'm only human, and Fascination are both great hits! Love how you youngins are listening/ reacting to these 80's songs that l grew up listening to. Keep loving the 80's guys!!!😁

[@Alithia451]

Being boiled was their best song by far and years ahead of its time.

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Amen - I love that song. Experimental, groundbreaking - *years* ahead of its time.

[@annewoodard6803]

This was an early New Wave staple. LOVE The Human League! 😁❤️

[@CragusMaximus]

This is currently playing in the gym as a new remix. Not a cover tho, just remixed so it's still great! 😎👌And all I could think was damn. 41 years old and still an absolute banger. Gotta respect it. What's fascinating about this group is they can't really 'sing' they basically say the words but love their voices regardless and it works do well.

[@tortillajackson2342]

Glad y'all are checking out some New Wave music. Psychedelic Furs- Love my Way is another great song to listen to. Oh and don't you want me was on a chips ahoy commercial

[@jacqueline4514]

Great one!

[@tortillajackson2342]

@@jacqueline4514 thanks! You have great taste!

[@jacqueline4514]

[@theresamorris6206]

The Human Leauge they are excellent. Try their song (Keep Feeling) Facination that's my favorite of theirs.

[@stephenulmer3781]

Its from a Swiffer commercial 😁 Ya'lls reactions are so good ☺ Tye Human League have a lot of good songs. In the 80s they were in heavy rotation on New Wave radio stations

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Hey y’all- Their huge #1 hit song “Human” is also a must- 👍✌️

[@musicklovah]

Clicked so fast when I saw Human League. Gotta react to Human. Love that you watch the original videos when reacting. Especially for 80’s music. They are such a big part of the songs!

[@seandobson6221]

Human League was one of my favorite 80s pop groups. Check our their other songs Human and Fascination

[@markhallett9264]

I was 19 when this came out. We used to dance to this but listen to Queen.

[@spruce381]

Great reaction / no one should stay with someone if they’re not feeling it. Was a massive hit in the UK - circa 82. Similar split up song is - say hello wave goodbye by soft cell.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Thinking of other songs from this era that have a synth intro, check out 'Bette Davis Eyes' by Kim Carnes.

[@reneeadizon]

Another great 80's hit.... True by Spandau Ballet!!!

[@deborahburry8475]

I love the way your dissecting the song....I did the same when it came out....great reaction, keep up the great songs that u r listening to....❤

[@markr.devereux3385]

Listen to the extended remix and you'll have an idea of the cool layering of the synth parts. Brilliant stuff. No wonder it went world wide and got awards.

[@robertgraves4527]

Should listen to part 2 of this song "Louise",kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5mtm2Z8qKublck&start_radio=1 Oakey points out that the story is actually about the original protagonists from "Don’t You Want Me" meeting up 4 years later. In "Louise" the man sees his lost love again and still cannot deal with reality. The anger that drove the earlier song has dissipated, and is replaced with a hopeful fantasy that his ex-lover is drawn to him all over again. So Louise is really about self-deception, delusion and eternal sadness. Oakey says about "Louise" in interview It's about men thinking they can manipulate women when they can't, even conning themselves that they have when they haven't.

[@gabrielplattes6253]

Their first argument spun me out. When the announcement for the upcoming episode was made, I guessed that the missus condemned Will's act, and that the hubby endorsed it. Just an inkling, no more. Then, lo, it was the other way around!

[@2127EShelby]

I ripped the Human League DVD and uploaded the first KZbin version of this video, before copyright or monetizing was a thing. The file size limit on KZbin was 99mb at the time. EMI (the record company) sent me a message, asking how I got the quality of the video so good with that size limit???? The answer was @10 hours of working on it with "Cleaner" in Final Cut. The vid is still up, with their ads, on my "Murphicus" channel.

[@stevenmclaughlin6034]

Happens all the time just like in Hollywood Two average people one makes it to the top then good bye to the other person. Love doesn’t always have to work out

[@tomski120]

You two reacting to "A little time" by the beautiful South would be fun

[@andyyoung9463]

Yes, absolutely!

[@annewoodard6803]

Keep Feeling Fascination is another great song from Human League.

[@FleagleSangria]

Sometimes its better not to know too much about the lyrics. Its a fairly psycho-relationship controlling/enabling song lol. Notice the girl kind of zombie like eventually sings "Dont you want me baby" with a blank stare, broken down. We just thought of it at the time as a cool vibe song about two lovers struttin their feathers at each other. The girl blowing the guy off and the guy chasin the girl. Didnt really go any deeper than that. I still keep it like that. Makes it more fun.

[@crazydaveyg]

One of my favourite 80’s songs. Great reaction 👍

[@CragusMaximus]

Next try another English band that's always played somewhere to this day. Massive catalogue of fun tunes. MADNESS - IT MUST BE LOVE.

[@sasapejcin3568]

Electronic synth pop from the early 80s!

[@alisonmatheson7118]

Would love to see yall react to a song called Voices Carry by a band called Till Tuesday. A great 80's classic.

[@animeman84]

If you haven’t already,check out Fascination from them next

[@Falconer1128]

Love this song so much. Brings back such amazing memories. All the tracks you guys are doing bring back so many great memories. I dig your banter alot when you're both into the meaning of the song like this. Love your channel!

[@ronsmac]

This had a similar theme to gotye’s song that came out 30 years later.

[@timroberts4181]

80's anthem... #Chooooun... 😘👌 Take care and stay safe Tim Leicester🇬🇧x p.s. by the way she was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar... 😜

Back in the day this music video was cool but today it be like WTF 😂

Next should be “Obsession” by Animotion 👏🏻👏🏻

[@joannetyndall3625]

First single I ever bought!xx

Im only human of flesh and blood i`m made ( Human League song, Human ).

[@carleton4199]

Definitely check out their song "Human", it's a great song.

[@stevenaustin657]

A fantastic early 80's band that would be fantastic to see a reaction too would be Adam and the Ants especially Prince Charming or Kings of the Wild Frontier by them, you won't regret it.

[@suckafree6687]

Check out their song ‘Human’ it’s an amazing song 🔥🔥🔥

[@jacqueline4514]

Classic 80's song, when synthesizers and digital drums were really getting going in the mainstream; oh how I loved this song! And I always saw both of their sides😀; he does sound creepy though, as if he is entitled to her forever regardless of what she wants.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A MUST HEAR Classic Human League "Human"

[@Lfg117]

This group, in 2023, still sang this song 100% purely - the lead singer nvr lip-synced this hit.

[@jasontrebilcock6496]

Now, what would happen if the song focused more on the "working as a waitress in a cocktail bar" aspect of the song... A little something to listen to (doesn't need reacting to, just something to giggle to): kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWiXf2qBf9J4oJY

[@GooniesNeverSayDie1980]

*_Neither of the two_* noticed that after Joanne makes her spoken-word cheating confession to Philip, you can distinctly hear Joanne's voice singing with Philip during the chorus, before that you only heard Philip's voice during the chorus.

[@neilhalley8897]

A great band, read up how they started. Very interesting story.

[@neilhalley8897]

Especially the 2 girls.

[@Usurper123]

There are two sides to this story. 1. She has used him to get where she is and is now dumping him and he can't handle it. 2. He's a control freak and she is trying to let him down easy and he's threatening her.

[@nonenone3257]

BUT what if things weren't exactly like what the male lyrics say? Maybe he just thinks he's the one responsible for whatever success she has. That doesn't mean he really was. Anyway, that's how I've always taken this song. Like she's breaking out from under his control.

[@romile55]

Secret Garden- Quincy Jones A love your own- Average White Band

[@charleswilliams6236]

They are sisters and brothers In this band

[@mitziesanders9840]

The song is great. If someone I loved did not love me, I would be heartbroken but love is letting go

[@normlee6566]

The question is, did he ever really care for the girl? if he is claiming her success wouldn't have happened without him and that he threatened to take her down if she didn't stay with him, that sounds more like he views them more like a transactional relationship--while she saw it as romantic given that she she admits she still loves him. sounds like she grew up and he didn't.

[@joepaskowski9091]

Great reaction-Making those puppy eyes. That’s enough reason to leave his ass! I don’t owe you nothing!

In a way - we see this happening right now with celebrities. Alot of celebs came up that way and things was wild after that. When someone went their own way and left the other . its crazy though

Omg!! I haven't heard this in years! Used to play that all the time! lol He's acting like she owes him still!!! If she was only in it to step up...she wouldn't have stuck with him for 5 years! Sounds like he was controlling & she needed to step back! Prove to herself she could do it without him!
