Music video by Pet Shop Boys performing How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? (2003 Digital Remaster).

[@markstea69]

One of those PSB songs that gets overlooked but is brilliant

[@plumeria66]

His voice cannot be imitated.

[@corinaluanavlad2417]

His voice is unique. 🥰

[@PedroGarcia-qq4fz]

Essa sem dúvidas não ❤

[@katherinepacheco3668]

Una de las voces más icónicas del Pop ❤

[@josephmartinez2209]

Obviously not

[@whyattDash7]

Oh yes it could I for years was professional 1st soprano lead in world famous boy choir I could perfectly mimic him

[@mortemicrorreactor8851]

This song is a masterpiece and hardly anyone knows it

[@OccupationalPhenomenology]

Never makes it onto their singles compilations either, which is an injustice!

[@mariposillalenta]

Me gusta desde que tenia como 17años y ya tengo casi 50

[@thespspazz]

Nah.

[@jorgepinzon-x3c]

INDEED!

And this remix in particular

I'm in love with Pet Shop Boys, Neil's voice enchants me.

My God...Neil is simply adorable. So beautiful inside and out!

[@archaicamusement3871]

Dreamy eyes! He was unbelievably beautiful

[@elenaalexandrova10]

[@Retrochild1979]

Totally underrated. Both of them very handsome in different ways ❤❤❤

[@maryamontero10]

Totally agree!!! ❤

[@royvenegas1974]

One of their best yet underrated song.

[@maj373]

The most underrated song of the 90's

[@maj373]

@sdrawkcabUK you are right :)

[@derbgentler3868]

@sdrawkcabUK I don't want to nitpick, but it was 1991. It was a double-a side with "Where the Streets have no Name". ;)

[@whyattDash7]

This song is one of their fucking opus's

[@AndresMoreno-gm3pn]

La creatividad de los Pet Shop Boys fascina por esa combinación maravillosa de la melodía, la plasticidad de los vídeos, la exquisitez de las letras y el arte de sus conciertos, tan personales como innovadores en su momento. Por ese esfuerzo notable de dotar la música disco de contenidos trascendentales y nuevos, merecen los PSB un GRAMMY especial a toda una carrera musical llena de incontestables himnos y lírica profunda.

[@MrMonikerjay]

This mix is incredible. It should've made the album but I'm not disregarding the original. That bassline. God.

[@lxworld]

Brothers In Rhythm if I remember correctly. Dave Seaman, Steve Anderson and Alan Bremner. They did additional production and remix on a lot of early 90's PSB singles - including Go West.

[@corinaluanavlad2417]

​@@lxworldyou're right.

[@jessicawahlen8640]

This is pure 90's genius!!! 100% nostalgia!!! LOVE AND ADORE THE PET SHOP BOYS!!!

[@DaniSanchez-rc7lu]

Neil's voice is great!

[@NastyChrisVideo]

I think that this song was underrated: it deserved more success

[@edwinhiley6281]

Technically it got to No 4 in the UK but was somewhat hidden away as although it was officially part of a double A sided single, it was the other track (their cover of the U2 song Where the Streets Have No Name) that got most of the radio airplay. Somewhat frustratingly this version has never surfaced on any of their compilation albums (Discography, PopArt, Ultimate)meaning it is really difficult to get hold of. It's actually easier to get hold of Bet She's Not Your Girlfriend which was an extra track on the 12" as that was included on their first B-Side collection Alternative. Perhaps this track should have been on there too. There was another different version of this song on the 12" Remix single, This effectively came in two parts the Momo and Ragga Zone mixes. These are Reggae/.Ragga tinged and well worth checking out.

[@michaelbruno1330]

I love this version its the brothers and rhythm 7" mix

[@joaorafael8969]

Defnitly

[@Nicki-jk9th]

I agree

[@PSB81Fan]

@@edwinhiley6281 As far as I know it's been released only on the Seriously single (CD or vinyl)

I disagree, but isn't it wonderful we have a band with so many great songs that fans cannot agree which one is the greatest? 🙂

[@evandrock81]

I love all the music of Pet Shop Boys, but for me for sure this is the best of all, all the elements fit perfectly, it is a real work of art that is impossible to listen without wanting to be repeating the track several times, not to mention that it takes me to the memories of my childhood when I was only 10 years old...good times...😎🤘🍺

[@garcezrj]

fez parte de minha adolescência

[@julianovikova85]

Просто обожаю эту группу с детства! ❤ Этот клип самый любимый.

[@Puchi1959]

2:24 AM…. A hard day’s night, as The Beatles stated. Magically, this song came to my mind. And flew with no scales to the ‘80s. God bless PSB! Please, take care of yourselves , the world still needs both of you. Regards from Montevideo.

[@xavierantoine7102]

La música de Chris es tan elegante, junto a la voz y acento británico de Neil le da tanta clase que hacen de esta canción una delicia.

[@amosriv9370]

The visual irony is hilarious. To a great dance beat!

[@arjuna153]

still fresh & relevant in Feb 2022. What a duo!

[@arsenjaho8854]

The more the time pass by, the more i listen to behaviour album which I have bought on CD. Truly timeless classic!

[@TheMimiche22]

Cette album est une pure merveille. En France,bien trop méconnu.

[@gauravrainck]

Excellent lyrics and Chris dancing (and not just dancing but making others also dance to his rhythm) are definitely the hallmarks of this fabulous classic and immortal song. As sweet now in 2022 as it was when it was released in my teens. 👍💋💐💐💋👍

[@javix2013]

Hipnotic video.

[@kelvinredward3013]

Time ⏲ doesn't age this song of perfection 👌, fresh and combination of Rythm and Back Beat Bravo Pet Shop Boys 👏

[@Gabriel-ot7zr]

A very unique voices he has..You cannot find a second one.

[@RadekLoquendo]

Closet i can think of is Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, but you're right

[@Aramanth]

A young Al Stewart maybe.... but still unique. Neil's voice is best when it is deadpan like in "DJ Culture" or else reaching a chilling high note like in "Before".

[@максимкиселёв-ш1и]

...эххх....первые разы я смотрел в середине 90х эти клипы psb на черно белом ламповом телевизоре...и было классно!

[@qhubbles]

My dad's friend gave us several LaserDiscs, including Queen's "Greatest Flix II" and PSB's "Videography...". That was like 5 to 10 years ago, but we've always had vintage A/V equipment, including a LD player. I watched the whole thing, including this great track, and not only met PSB, but made myself a fan of them. Thanks, Toño!

[@ColdKatri]

Excellent song and video. I love very much.

[@scorpius1672]

Love the wee outro on this with Chris tinkling away on the keyboard in the funky hat. I much prefer this to the album version.

[@lonewolfheart1697]

The 90s vibe is strong with this one and I'm so there for it

[@Bernhard2024]

In 1991 I had a VHS-tape by PTB called "Promotion" and on that tape there was this musicvideo. I can`t remember how often I watched it, but it was countless times. I love this song even today and it`s one of the highlights on Behaviour-album.

[@raulpereira7926]

Aparte de la hermosa canciòn me encantan los dos bailarines,son geniales.🙌🕺🕺

[@DAISY.576.]

I love this muisc ❤❤❤❤❤!!

[@fluffycloud7513]

Brothers in Rhythm remixed this if I remember correctly. Love this over the album version! I am not sure why this isn't included in ANY of the PSB official singles collections albums, like Pop Art, or Smash... I mean, technically it is a double A-side with 'Where the Streets have no name' and has a music video... I mean, I understand 'Where the Streets Have No Name' got most of the airplays, but still... it should have been included somewhere...

The song was on constant MTV rotation and it was a Top 5 hit in the UK and Ireland - in the USA, it was less successful, hitting the Top 20 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play Chart but only cracking Billboard Hot 100 (#93). One of my '90s alternative dance/new jack swing favourites!
