So classy, unusual and excellent! This song never gets old.

[@shelldwell331]

The "new" video is much easier to follow than Elvis "Thats all right" from '54. Amelia pavers with the SNE.

Everything you need to know about the sounds of the 80s is in this song.

Tudo era tão bom,quero de volta...

[@mrc5653]

RIP Steve wright,and what an absolute banger

[@magicknight8412]

The first and the best, still sounds perfect today and one of my favourite tracks of the 80s.

[@tinybutmightycookie2518]

Magic Knight absolutely!

[@scmtuk3662]

This is actually their 4th single. Their first single was an earlier version of West End Girls, produced by Bobby Orlando, and released in April 1984 Then, they released One More Chance, also produced by Bobby Orlando in June 1984. Their third single, was Opportunies (Let's Make Lots of Money). This was released in July 1985. This version was produced by J. J. Jeczalik (part of Art of Noise) and Nicholas Froome. These were all produced and recorded before they even began working on their debut album, Please. The July 1985 release of Opportunies was also their first single to have a music video.

[@magicknight8412]

@@scmtuk3662 think I was meaning to say the first single to really break through. The first version of west end girls really sounds unfinished.

[@martinfry3728]

@@magicknight8412 I think that was the work from Stephen Hague

Could've been a one hit wonder... but didn't. incredible how they are still going strong.

[@kimberlyjaime8557]

I wish I was born in the 70’s and go out partying to these songs, LIVE! 😩💖

[@KevinWilliams-px6il]

I feel you. I was 5 in 85. Wish I had been old enough to party.

[@susannemcdaniel5782]

I was born in 1965, so was 20 when this came out...and, WAS dancing to it in the clubs. It was a glorious time and I would do it all over again. But, good to know younger generations enjoy it, too.

[@TornSilencio]

​@@susannemcdaniel5782right? I was born in the early 90s but my mother would jam to a lot of these as I grew up, so I ended up falling in love with 70s and 80s music. Somehow I ended up getting into 60s on my own though lol.

[@CookieCaspari]

Just be happy you can enjoy it now ​@@KevinWilliams-px6il

[@Melissa-uj8hb]

I was there in the 80’s. Amazingggggg. Alternative music was amazing back then

[@shedjr_]

I love how Neil is trying his best to mime along to the song to seem propper, whilst Chris is like: Screw it, I'll keep pressing these few keys in particular.

[@themotownboy1]

Nope... Chris is playing the synth bass part on the keys and doing it correctly.

[@r4h4al]

Did Chris ever sing any of the songs?

[@fluffycloud7513]

@@r4h4al he does sing in a few... e.g. Paninaro, we all feel better in the dark, etc.

[@MrNightshade2010]

arent they one of the few bands play this live a few times simply because there was so many people in the song they couldn't mime it ?

[@donnafayehenegar6502]

Loved this song forever..and thats a long time🎉❤

[@mac1932]

One of the best British exports from the 1980's (and there were many). Big hit here in Trinidad and Tobago. Love how this was just the intro for what brilliance that was coming from their next album at the time. 💯❤💥👍

[@yankees29]

It was a huge hit in NY as well.

[@myblues528]

@@yankees29 yeah ?

[@yankees29]

@@myblues528 of course it was. The 80’s were such an incredible time for music.

[@funkg]

I can totally understand why people in Trinidad would like this, because the drum machine pattern has a bit of a soca rhythm to it plus the bass is on point too.

[@sameggleton4959]

loved it in 1985 love in 2023 Great song timeless

[@pedrog7966]

Its hard for people to understand now (Steve Wright was right), but this song stood out like few others at the time. So atmospheric, but also danceable. I was 13 and it was one of the first 7" singles I bought and played and played and played and played until I knew it inside out. And it got me through a shitty time at a posh Surrey school I hated.
