If you watch the movie Pretty in Pink, the song makes sense. This was such a huge hit from the soundtrack to the movie ❤️

[@matthewrandom4523]

Molly Ringwald was so pretty in pink, wasn't she?! OMG I miss the 80ies so much!

[@scriptmonkey7812]

Ducky deserved better. He was also kind of a stalker...

[@lynnschnekenburger7270]

Awwww, the final scene from the movie "Pretty in Pink". Gotta love the Duckman!!! Such a great song from the 80s - OMD had some great songs.

[@BIGBLOCK5022006]

Ducky was the ultimate wingman. He wanted his friend to be happy, and he even caught the attention of a girl.

[@lynnschnekenburger7270]

@@BIGBLOCK5022006 Gotta say, I think I'd rather have a Duckman!!!!!😃

[@shanehebert396]

This and "True" by Spandau Ballet were huge prom songs.

[@Lexy-O]

Both used in the movie 16 Candles

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

One of my favorite songs of all time. It says "if you leave" yet it feels like she's always left. It has a strong nostalgia vibe to it. Like he's lamenting cause it's hopeless.

[@FUBAR1986]

Nostalgic vibe got that right🎉😅

[@johnnyskinwalker4095]

@@FUBAR1986 I meant even when it just came out lol

[@user-jh4rl1wq1y]

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark - what a great 80s synth pop group! This has 80s senior high school drama energy. Yes it was in the 80s Pretty in Pink soundtrack.

[@matthewenies3668]

This was the theme to 1986 Pretty in Pink. Molly Ringwald was THE teen star of the 80s

[@jkbezo1]

So '80s. Good new wave band. This was on movies and played at school dances.

[@superultradan]

This song is played at the end of the movie "Pretty In Pink", y'all should watch that for context. It elevates the atmosphere of this song!

[@marctestorf5716]

OMD are still to this day one of my new wave favourites of the 80s

[@doreybain]

I wasn't a fan of OMD in the 80s. However, now whenever I hear one of their song, I get a flood of sentimental memories.

[@nealm6764]

Check your T levels.

[@Caesarianus9]

Yeah! Exactly) It's such... Weird, sweet and sad in the same time...

[@doreybain]

@@nealm6764 Probably that.

[@Kevvinm]

This is their pop hit. If you go back to their earlier albums like Architecture and Morality you might not think it was the same band . Extremely experimental electronic band in their early days.

[@yrualeg1]

The music from my teenage years...This tune was HUGE in the 80's

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, their song "Enola Gay" was their first top 10 hit in the UK and a top 40 US Dance chart hit (1981)

[@SEANBANOG4]

The name of the aircraft the the US used to drop the nuclear bomb in Japan.

[@oskarobit]

@@SEANBANOG4 yes, and they mention also the "Little Boy", the name on the H-bomb. 😟

[@Steffe]

A favorite band. My first ever CD was an OMD record, bought in 1985.

[@grahamjones3259]

You guys need to dive into more on f OMD. Check out Joann of Arc, Electricity, Maid of Orleans. Their album Architecture and Morality is still a seminal point in music. Made under the Factory Records umbrella, it was one of many culture defining albums to come out of that independent music label.

[@140cabins]

Architecture and Morality was with Virgin, not Factory. They still had Peter Saville doing their artwork though.

[@johnstjohn6658]

I think just the single "Electricity" wad first released on Factory but a Virgin subsidiary published the next few OMD releases. They should react to Souvenir though.

[@avenueb]

correct

[@bugout2hills]

Telegraph extended version is great

[@craigplatel813]

Dazzle ships and junk culture albums.

[@albertscanlon2005]

Such a hard working group .. still touring after 40 years... Thanks to you both for sharing.. OMD were part od the 80s so good feel

[@BAztid]

One of the most influential electronic bands in history, and still making great records.

[@ericmanbeck6099]

Im a metal head but I love this song. it was on the teen movie "Pretty in Pink " soundtrack and reminds me of Jr High dances. ( that whole soundtrack was pretty good.

[@xanner_hates_jazz]

So listen to the Cover-Version from Good Charlotte. It's pretty good.

[@shanebrown4146]

every sONG FROM OUR 80S MOVIES WERE amazing , Pretty in pink or Breakfast club /Say Anything makes me tear up

[@thomashubbard5333]

Man this takes me back to the 80s. Bigtime.

[@daz_n]

Love OMD. Their sound was so unique. Maid of Orleans is epic.

[@thomsevilla4956]

these guys had lots of awesong songs.... secret...so in love.. forever live and die... souvenir....electricity....the list goes on

[@richard_n]

Another classic 80s song. I like this song more now than when it came out.

[@TheFunkengroovin]

I remember these guys back in the day! All this music was big in the 80's... Thanks for bringing me back!

[@galenstone9097]

This song was everywhere when I was a teenager. Brat pack song from Pretty In Pink, I believe.

[@rodneycraft1005]

80s New Wave had ballads, too. Time to rub bodies and whisper sweet nothings during slow songs at the clubs.

[@pauld6967]

This song came out when a girlfriend & I went our separate ways and that line about "7 years" hit hard because it had been 7 years for us. Time does heal all wounds. Now when I hear this song, it is with happiness because it brings back memories of the nice times we had together rather than the split.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

This song is from soundtrack of one of my favorite Eighties, John Hughes/Molly Ringwald movies, “Pretty In Pink”! I love it! Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark (OMD)! ❤❤

[@victorbortolussi2964]

First saw OMD in the music documentary " Urgh, A Music War " OMD, XTC, DEVO, Gang Of Four, Wall of Voodoo, Dead Kennedys, and on and on..!!!

[@classicaustralianmusicandf7425]

80's pop Duran Duran, Korgis, Sniff n the Tears, Go West, Yazhoo, Talk Talk, Pet Shop Boys, ABC, Spandau Ballet and many more !

[@jollyrodgers7272]

Love this song - I think it reflects Teen Angst; IF being the big hypothetical - worrying about being rejected. IF she leaves, don't come back, because he doesn't want to go thru that again.

[@tylerhackner9731]

In the iconic classic John Hughes film pretty in pink

[@r2aul]

Great looking new set!!!!

[@stack_of_records]

OMD, New Order, Section 25,... All great bands with that UK Synth vibe, between pop and new wave

[@transmit13]

All amazing bands. With one thing in common. All were on the legendary Manchester label Factory Records at one point. Especially New Order (Joy Division), since they were the Kings of Tony Wilson's iconic label, and the whole HACIENDA (Madchester) scene and movement they helped create. OMD only had the "Electricity" single on Factory in 1979. But IMO that's their best output and I enjoy OMD.

[@BAztid]

@@transmit13 "Electricity" (backed by "Almost") was a massive record, not in terms of chart placement but influence. So many artists have cited it as a pivotal moment in their musical trajectory.

[@quixote6942]

This was (sort of) used as a "Love Theme" in John hughes "Sixteen Candles". It's SUCH an "80's" song!

[@neilmccarthy5102]

OMD were a great early 80’s synth band… as mentioned ‘enola gay’ and ‘electricity’ probably greater… but for me ‘genetic engineering’ was immense! The use of different instruments as well as what sounds like a typewriter in percussion… a great forgotten song

[@darrylvonrokk]

How did I just notice..................................... Congrats!!!

[@robt7199]

They still sound this good.....

[@jamielandis4308]

Instant flashback to my college days. Temporal whiplash!

[@rsw1227]

I was a teenager in the 80's and watched MTV a lot but there are some videos I somehow never saw. This is definitely one of them and I saw the movie many times too.

[@BAztid]

Hey, Americans: OMD have a whooole other legacy beyond "If You Leave". Their recordings from 1978 through 1983/4 were categorised as "experimental" music in Europe and were highly influential on artists like Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Moby, Paul van Dyk, the Killers and a zillion others. Truly one of the great, seminal electronic acts in history!

[@peaches7169]

Saw them in 2019 with B52 and Berlin ..they look and sounded great!

[@karlstehle8750]

Genre Fluid....Awesome

[@lightsideofthemoon13]

Brad: its real emotional pain. Lex: yeah we used to have a dog whimper like that. LMAO.

[@jamesdamiano8894]

They have several real catchy tunes. Definitely check out "Enola Gay", The Hillbilly Moon Explosion also do a cool version of it.

[@fabian4ever69]

This was one of two songs that we chose for our class of 1986 song. The movie Pretty in Pink was just released in the Spring right before graduation and we chose this to be our song along with That's What Friends are For by Dionne Warwick and friends.

[@JamesBond-xj4uj]

First. Good luck with the baby guys xx

[@AgentJamesLee]

My girlfriend, in 1986, was moving back to Mexico. I told her to think of me whenever she heard this song. We were married 2 years later. Still together!

[@Eifia1337]

One of the most unique voices ever. So 80s

[@rlwetz4317]

Oof. OMD, she straight up killed you with "separation anxiety apartment dog." 😳 I'll never hear this the same now.

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

the electronic groove was getting to Lex...the song is hypnotic.

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

classic pop chord progression

[@SilentBob731]

The 80's kid in me is vibing hard to this one, you three Rule!. 😉

[@donnagonatas3155]

I absolutely love this song!!!!!!!! The movie was great too. ✌️❤️

[@bigmeaney555]

Definitely on the Mt. Rushmore of best 80's summer songs ever.

[@CortinasAndClassics]

love the new camera angle 💜

[@emilyanderson6915]

This song is at the end of the movie, I think. Pretty in Pink is, girl from one group in high school that's sort of from the wrong side of town, likes rich boy in the popular crowd and he likes her, but both face pressures from their peer groups about how unrealistic they are being to want to go together. Do they end up together at the end of the movie? Go watch it! It's a sweet flick. There's an antagonist you want to punch in the nose in the popular group, I swear I wanna beat his you know....all that fun dramatic stuff you remember from high school in the 80's! I love Jon Cryer in this, too. I gotta watch it again now that you brought this song up!! My school had these elements in the early 80's. What a trip. I wish life was that simple now, geez!

[@ameyer1970]

If you leave, don't leave now Please don't take my heart away Promise me just one more night Then we'll go our separate ways We've always had time on our sides Now it's fading fast Every second, every moment We've got to, we've gotta make it last I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd still be friends someday If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day But if you leave, don't look back I'll be running the other way Seven years went under the bridge Like time was standing still Heaven knows what happens now You've got to, you've gotta say you will I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd meet again I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd still be friends I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd meet again someday If you leave Oh, if you leave Oh, if you leave Don't look back Don't look back

[@johnbrookes3261]

This is EPIC . O.M.D. Please react to ENOLA GAY , These guys were at the forefront of new wave . 80s music . Great band . I love all your reactions . Your music choice is so diverse . Music of all decades LOVE IT .

[@IamMusicNerd]

OMD is an interesting band. They had some of the biggest hits of the 80’s. Very few people have ever heard the name of the band, but almost everyone has heard ay least a couple of their songs. (A lot of them were used in movies)

[@johnstjohn6658]

Yeah, this is one of my least favorite songs from them. By the time this came out they were becoming more commercial and less interesting. Souvenir, Electricity and Enola Gay are my earliest rememberances of them.

[@BAztid]

They're well-regarded in Europe. Shame they're only a cult concern in the US.

[@susanelkins3068]

ahhhhh- the 80's!

Hi! I’ve watched your show for a hot minute and really enjoy the perspective the both of you give. I never write comments but I think the two of you would really enjoy reacting to the song Hi REN by REN. You won’t regret it. Your mind will be blown in a great way!

[@danclifford2868]

[@RodrigoMJ32]

This song was a huge hit in the 1980s, glad I lived in that era !!!

[@neilsmith9066]

Great band! Many great hits!!! Secret is a personal fav!

[@emilyanderson6915]

This was in the Pretty in Pink movie.

[@greggburke7796]

The song is actually about unrequited love, it's as simple as that. He's in love with her, but she's in love with someone else. And while she is part of his everyday life, graduation approaches, he fears he will never see her again to let her know. In reality, she knows, but doesn't share his feelings.

[@Erica-wy8zx]

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark

[@troyhyre8043]

Do you realize that your son will be attached to these songs on a subliminal level?? When he is older, he will have a mysterious subliminal connection to these songs that you listen to! Especially if Mama enjoyed it and the baby got dosed with extra endorphins! Cheers!

[@peterfromgermany2431]

One of the Big Hit Groups in Europe, before If you Leave was a Hit in the US. Souvenir, Maid of Orleans, Enola Gay, Joan of Arc,, Telegraph, so in Love……

[@offal]

OMD (Orchestral Manouvers in the Dark) were brilliant.

[@ronpotts6385]

Even though it's performed by adult men, the song written in one evening as a last-minute replacement song for the prom scene in "Pretty in Pink", is about a doomed adolescent romance. In the movie, Blaine, a boy from a rich family, asks out a pretty-but-eccentric girl, Andie, from the poor side of town. She feels out of place going to parties with his stuck-up friends, and Blaine can't seem to choose between his friends and his new girlfriend. Ultimately, he ends up breaking her heart. Andie ends up going to prom with her platonic male friend, Ducky, who has always been in love with Andie, and Blaine shows up stag. Andie and Blaine make up at the dance, and they kiss to this song. The movie is super melodramatic, but it was super popular with teens, including myself, though I was only in the sixth grade when it came out.

[@grafxnrg]

The song is basically talking about if you leave to give him another night as in another chance but she doesn’t give him another chance then leave and don’t look back even though she says someday we will be friends again. He fears he will never see her again.

[@CK-xx1ws]

This song is 80's all the way...awesome!

[@RobinT-treehugger]

This song is from the movie "Pretty in Pink" where the girl (Molly Ringwald" is torn between 2 guys, one who doesn't want her and one that really does.

[@claytoncourtney1309]

It seems to me that the singer is saying that he would do anything to keep her, he will accept that she wants to leave BUT if she does he will no longer be there for her to come too as it is too painful for him to wait for her.

[@bradcolorado8149]

it's a realistic break up. if you leave, don't look back. I'll be running the other way LOL. yes!! seperation anxiety!!

[@rossmacintosh5652]

[@Jon-ug3le]

Fun Fact, they wrote and recorded this song in 3 days when the film changed from the original song they wrote for the movie after the test audience did not like the end of the movie ( rich guy NOT getting the girl) The original song was Goddess of Love. 3 days...their biggest song in the USA. They have a HUGE international following and catalog.
