Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes (Extended Mix)

[@garyschneider8700]

Oh yes, 1981. I was 13 and just figuring out the girl next door was actually the best friend I had, ever had, or ever will have. I still remember my dads little talk. I thought it was going to be the birds and bees talk. He looked at me all serious and said "Son don't screw this up cause she's the best you'll ever get" There was never anybody else. Four kids and 11 grandchildren later and life is good. God Bless to you all.

Sometimes a song comes together and it is pure magic. The combination of the catchy, provocative lyrics, Carnes' sultry voice belting out the long notes, and a not-so-subtle mix of 80s synth for good measure! This song was a masterpiece, a song that to me defines the 80s (like Toto's Africa, or A-ha's Take On Me.) We're approaching 40 years since this song came out, and it's a classic, one of the best! We may not be getting any younger but we had great songs in our youth!

Being a kid of 90's always had this song speed of the sound of loneliness, but recently came to learn this one too. and im all over in love with Kim Carnes voice. too good piece of gold voice

[@Dan-bb2ks]

Yes, it's timeless

[@rivercitymud]

I love her voice so much. She hits her notes and oooh it's so scratchy good. Searched for this song for ages after hearing it on the radio as a kid. The sheer stones it must have taken for her to write this and perform it is outside of my ability to fully comprehend.

[@jc4evur661]

Scratchy Good?...Excellent description

[@rivercitymud]

@@jc4evur661 I actually stole it from Bowie. I can't remember which song it was, but in one of them he calls something "shitty good" and it stuck with me. Some of the finest things in life are shitty good.

[@jc4evur661]

Your comment was crappy awesome...thanks for sharing! Lol@@rivercitymud

[@Truthseeker1515]

As an 80s teen, this played so many times on the radio. Memories come flooding in. Notably of an ice rink, skating with my brother, I must have been 7.... So many wrong turns. Life can be terribly hard. I was never prepared. Parents never tell you the truth. They just bring you into the world. Miss the 80s and mum though....

[@christinamoynagh3124]

Same

[@haydenwittig8877]

Just compare this classic to any song here in 2020, 80s songs were more like timeless anthems with a irresistible beat interrupted by a bass line and synthesizers to create atmosphere, lyrically poetic with a mystical feel that stands the test of time.

[@bradfisher8658]

Heard.

What a voice to match those unusual and exotic Betty Davis eyes! Betty Davis Kim!!!!! 20/20 vision, this Kim in this song!

[@thecure6212]

La mia prima canzone da vero ascoltatore

[@tonytagliaferri1254]

Gli anni 70""ed 80""magici ed irripetibili.

[@kevinammons1374]

This song was in such constant rotation on the radio during the early to mid 80s and it never got old. What a great song.

[@brendadrumm9451]

Good song but bette davis had the most vile eyes a horrible woman

[@norbury57]

I arrived in Canada in 1982 as a new immigrant from the UK. This was my anthem. 36 yrs later it is still very special.

[@rw8733]

I'm still in the UK. I wish I'd had the balls to leave 36 years ago too. ☺

[@robertweiss-id3wf]

one of my all time favorites. great long version of billboard's #1 song of 1981. never did get tired of this. fantastic. thanks

[@rbrearey]

This is one of those rare times where the cover wins. By a landslide. I like Jackie DeShannon, and, even though she wrote this and recorded 1st, this version just takes it to a dark place it really needed. The original is catchy, this is a masterpiece

[@gabrielmaciel8190]

Eu tenho 19 anos. Meu pai morreu dia 22 de março de 2021 mas a memória dele vai continuar viva com essa música e com ABBA, com a Donna Summer, com Flashdance, com Michael, com John Travolta, com o flashback.... Incrivel

[@eliphastdikuuakatoyima4117]

Remembering 1981, the first time to join Mashare Agricultural College, and the weekend, all friends went but I remained and the only friend was the radio. Ah, since then even now still hearing it as it is.

[@michelbernardo6087]

Sim , eu sou da mesma geraçao , 15 anos nesse tempo , 1981 . Essa musica faze me chorrar

[@williansilva1426]

Rapaz sinto muito, meus pais gostam bastante de musica antiga tbm mas por incrível que pareça gosto mais que eles kkkk

[@jorgedias4374]

Anos 80 fantástico, ouvi muitas Vezes esta música nas discotecas Kim Carnes tem uma voz única Ainda hoje ouço esta música

[@robynvanhorn]

Look up Berlin, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Joan Jett,

[@samcoon6699]

One of the songs from my childhood that as soon as the first few notes are played I'm immediately transported back to 1981 when I was 11. Going to the fair and hearing this played on the radio. Driving with the windows down and enjoying ZOTS and swedish fish. Coke was still the best and kool-aid made with 2 cups of sugar. Swimming and riding bikes. Playing frisbee and thunderstorms. Ahhhhhhh........life was great.

[@miguelangelmendozagamarra8752]

Los ojos de Bette Davis marcó época por los años 80… Fue más que una sensación, conjuga una voz ronquita, sensual, entre agudos y graves se luce con la belleza de Kin Carmes

[@samuelsamuel3257]

Que tema tan bestial que viva el rock de los ochenta

[@dougotto1705]

When this came out my dad would jam out to it. I was probably 4 years old at the time and couldn’t wait for him to play this song. This is still one of the best songs ever.

[@brucekrom8197]

I just turned 44 today. I remember the 80s & 90s. Such simple drama-free times. Today it’s a riot.

[@hyperspacejester7377]

How's the hangover? 😂

[@yuumei9745]

Ok, boomer.

[@nikolajderburner7150]

happy birthday :-)

[@AlejandroP1980s]

Yuu Mei ok snowflake

[@brucekrom8197]

Nikolaj der Burner Thankyou :)

[@mindismith9082]

I still remember the first time I heard this song. It has that 'special something' that makes it stay in your heart forever. ❤️

[@fabriziochiapelli4101]

Love this song!!!❤ i was 10 years,maybe 9!!! I always listened to it on the radio!!!Yes but at the time there were Radios 😂😂😂♥️♥️

[@marieliming8256]

This is one of my " go to, " songs when I need a pick me up. Love the lyrics and the beat is so hard to resist!

[@Als11able]

the words mean nothing to me. I dont even like them but the song is still addictive

[@mich9477]

Me too! Always gets my mood up!

[@MegaRafaelloco]

There's something so wholesome about 80's music not found in music from other decades.

[@sebasdebordeaux8347]

true!! I'm a fan of the 60's and 70's but true that in the 80's they did some of the best ever.. this one is part of it! maybe it's also because we were in our teens (were you?) in those 80's.. as sbdy said below, life was simple then!! (for most of us I guess..)

[@smarar]

This song isn't as wholesome as it seems 😆

[@vixapphire]

The blue balls reference is especially wholesome.

[@JohnSmith-kz8yo]

the 80's took The beat from the 60's ND 70'S AND PUT IT ALL TOGETHER...

[@shannarossi6401]

I miss waking up in Colorado... thinking of happy Momma moments singing that to my kiddo, Ryan Keegan!!! You are awesome and amazing. I wouldn't have traded those amazing memories and amazing people for anything!!! Know how much I love you Ryan Keegan. God Bless Colorado 😘👍😎☘️

[@Cristiancito_Nica_505]

Viva el rock romantico, me gustan estás canciones de los 70 80, yo nací en el año 1994 y esta canción me gusta mucho

[@user-tk4gr9zo7t]

This song makes me cry so hard, but in the most nostalgic, happy, dreamy way. Reminds me of being at my grandparents place as a kid back when we would go every Sunday. It reminds me, every time I hear it of being young and loving life in all the adversity it gave me during the time.

[@fairyharmony8766]

Haus Of Gaga That's so sweet :'(

[@ivignekaysen5375]

♥️

[@jean-louisberlatier3433]

Beautiful. Thanks.

[@stipetv1548]

I keep coming to this extended mix. The music, lyrics and Kim's raspy voice is perfection. It takes me to an incredible place, where my favorite actress ever is very well described as the bad ass strong woman she was. What an awesome tribute to BD. This is definitely none other than Bette Davis: She's precocious, and she knows just what it Takes to make a pro blush All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes.

[@user-be3us2vp8j]

Amo tanto, poderia passar um dia inteiro ouvindo. Clássico atemporal!

[@jjkty1008]

懐かしい、18歳の頃レコード探して買ったもんです。青春かな。ロンサムカーボーイでよく聴いた。ディスコによく行きナンパしｺﾞｺﾞｰでした。

[@RS-tn4fs]

This makes me nostalgic of the times I've never lived in

[@mariannaboffa373]

I was born too many years after this song. I think the 80's music is the best. Bette Davis Eyes is Melodic, pure, gently. I feel good when i listen this song. God bless 80's years!

[@808roiboi]

By far the BEST DECADE Of ALL time. The 80's It was an Honor to Grow up during the 80's Kim Carnes.....2 words! Absolutely Fabulous!

[@susanaabellan522]

Yes, an honor, the world didn't seem so sinister as it does now.

[@Zan863]

I was 9 years old, living in South Africa on an Apartheid Era, these songs were soothing to us, even as a child could not help, but get down on it😊

[@mabelmav1798]

Esta es una de mis canciones favoritas, siempre me suben el ánimo:)

[@shaunthompson4979]

Such a brilliant song. Atmospheric, evocative, melodic. Superb.

[@evandrozzz]

Os Anos 80 foi o auge da criatividade e qualidade nas artes: música, cinema, literatura etc, não há mais nada a criar, tudo foi criado lá!

An old movie came on TV with Bette Davis the other day. Mom came in the living room and started singing this. I was born a couple years after this came out. Mom asked if I knew this song. Of course!
