Ty Reacts To PET SHOP BOYS - Two Divided By Zero

[@3anaurv2]

A fantastic intro and the first album track of a legendary band.

[@markr1574]

Early Pet Shop Boys music was surprisingly thuggish and sneering despite how cute and innocent they looked.

[@davidpearson6785]

It's true, I remember an early tune of theirs called a man could get arrested could fall into that category

[@markr1574]

@@davidpearson6785 call the police there’s a madman around. In a dive bar in a west end town. I remember Suburbia, Painairo and In the Night like this as well.

Good Times....Good Times....My favorite group of all time

[@terrykemp1876]

What a sensational and atmospheric track with which to kick off your debut album!!!

[@jerrycote659]

It’s hard to go wrong with Pet Shop Boys. There are so many amazing songs from this duo. I’m going to see them tonight actually (10.07.22) at Hollywood Bowl along with another legendary band (my all time fave) New Order. Stoked!!

[@reactionextraction]

That's truly a classic show your going to see 😎 BIGTIME !!

Masterpiece, Neil and Chris forever 💯😩🤗😀 saw her at the concert in Leipzig Germany this year, it was very hot in the arena, but the performance was first class. was so excited, great sound.🕺🏻😎😃👌

Masterpiece 😎

Neil Tennant was born in Preston hospital in North Shields Tyne and wear pretty much where I spent my entire childhood tho I live in Manchester now. One of my best friends at school was Neil's nephew, small world. Such a brilliant band 40 plus years of hit after hit after hit , even their b sides are so good they had to release albums of those. Great reaction Ty and dad keep pet shop boys coming! I'd love you to react to i want a lover or Chris lowe singing on paninaro!

[@reactionextraction]

Fab Comments 😎 Who knew PSB would become Epic and true Legends 😎

[@coletonwilcox]

Should listen to PSB "Love is a bourgeois construct"

[@cmpa1970]

Oh my, I haven't heard this song in years! I almost forgot about this. Now you got my old flood gates open. Hey, I'd love to see your reaction to that electronic Boy George solo hit "No Clause 28 - Pascal Gabriel mix". Tysm.

[@midlander_74]

I'd recommended you watch "it couldn't happen here" a movie in 1988 starring Neil Tennant / Chris Lowe. which has the whole album "Actually " plus the song "2 divided by zero"

[@alistairrodgerfairbrother2479]

Thanks to my Dad Pet Shop Boys ended up being my number 1 favourite band of all from my birth till this day

Now that's a Rad Dad 😎🤘🏼

[@nearvanaman]

I haven't heard this since I listened to the 'tape' in the mid 80s. Although I'd heard at least one or two songs at that point (probably 'West End Girls' and ' Love Comes Quickly') this was a very contemporary sounding song of its time. As a 12 year old, I'd have been convinced this was good enough to be a single. The production on this record was amazing.

[@reactionextraction]

I had the "tape" also, only got stuck in my car stereo once so had to re-roll the tape back into the case, ha 😎 I'm sure that happened to you as well back in the day

[@colinanderson7384]

There are some Pet Shop Boys b-sides worth checking out such as Delusions of Grandeur, Bright Young Things, The Resurrectionist and Too Many People to name just a few

[@petercarrington948]

Jack the lad and too many people are really great b sides.

[@holgerschink1341]

I agree...this is the fantastic, iconic opening to their debut album.

[@petercarrington948]

Absolutely agree with you, it blew me away!

[@rouguy1972]

First song of their first album ❤️

[@docveto1669]

"Please" was the first CD album I've ever possesed, back then in the 80s. PSB are underrated until today, but with this one, along with Paninaro, Violence and Later tonight, they've deserved their place in the Olymp of music.

[@danielsegen]

Yeaaahhhhh…. Totally agree… love this one!! I also recommend to react to Why don’t we live together? A great one ( and a hidden gem) from the same album

[@reactionextraction]

Amazing debut album 😎 gotta be one of the best all-time right ? !

[@josephthomas3912]

Fun Fact : The Pet Shop Boys did a remix of Blur's "Girls And Boys" which became a big hit in the clubs globally.

[@reactionextraction]

I remember that, it was pretty epic remix 😎

[@adrianmontano6567]

Puré energy!!!!!!!

[@yolandusmaximus]

Me sigue pareciendo increíble que este tema sea de los 80, Adelantados a su tiempo. Psb forever

[@NoCanDu]

This album! Super classic! Every track is amazing! I think I still have a couple of Smash Hits mags with articles by Neil Tennant (before!)

[@reactionextraction]

Fab keep sakes from the 80's for sure 😎

[@citizenoftheworld6363]

I love it❤❤❤

[@f1saintsutd]

Great song, one of my favourite PSB songs. When I first started getting into them in the early 90's this is one that I loved instantly. They played this one live on one of their tours in the 2000's. I went crazy when I saw them do it 😂

[@reactionextraction]

Fab Tune 😎 Bet was amazing hearing it live !!

[@f1saintsutd]

@@reactionextraction it was! Reminded me of Kraftwerk, when they had the electronic calculator-style digits of 2 ÷ 0 flashing up during the song

[@reactionextraction]

Oh wow that’s so cool 😎

[@coolhive2941]

It’s funny, you mention deeper cuts at the end of your video. That’s why they’re one of my top three bands of all time, because they consistently had great albums with great deep cuts. I’d rarely found a track I would skip in their first 10 albums or so.

[@shannonhondo260]

Their live version of this is of the chain!!

[@fabien.boussat]

I would really like to know the actual meaning of this song. the inspiration behind it...Their lyrics are always full of cultural or political references...

[@thomasinamcnaughton7020]

I always thought it was quite literal: two (people) divided by zero: literally nothing will break them up/come between them. "Someone spread a rumour/let's not go home/let's run away." Using the old Speak and Spell machine as a sample (through the old analogue Emulator synth) throughout the track.

[@davidpearson6785]

The story of the song is the idea of two people not being separated by anything. Says Neil, "in the song, maybe there's trouble at home, so the two people are going to run away. In this instance, to New York. The 'when the postman calls…' part of the song comes from the way, when I was a teenager, people were always having pregnancy scares, most of them totally manufactured, I think, for the sheer value of the drama. The suggestion is that one of them is pregnant...you know that there's no way the people in the song are really going to end up in New York."

[@stansolo4138]

Listen to the original 'B' side ' Paninaro ' ...... classic

Pet shop boys have made great albums. Lots of fantastic melodic tracks In their musical history. But the only real band who have also released great b sides too. Reaction Extraction could you please review “ shameless “ from 1993 please. It would be great to have your family’s reaction to the classic song. Co produced by the great producer Stephen Hague .
