In the 90s, they invited my 5yr old son (who’s autistic & loved their music) backstage to meet them. They were all SO nice, took pictures with him, signed his shirt etc. He asked Jane & Belinda what roads they took to get to Phoenix, and where they were going next, and when they said “Vegas” he gave them directions. They loved that. 😂❤️

[@richmurray8992]

Gina is definitely a powerhouse on drums. When you see them live, it's hard not to watch her. And on songs like "Get Up and Go" and especially "Beatnik Beach," the drumming is just insane. She and Kathy Valentine are IMO one of the tightest, most muscular, and (sadly) most underrated rhythm sections in rock history, and "Head Over Heels" distills that perfectly.

They say Belinda Carlisle from the band was the first to wear the ripped off collar look.

[@dennisschank7748]

The person on the keyboards is Charlotte Caffey. Multi-talented musician! You mentioned that you didn't appreciate the keyboard player on the last song and that is because she was playing lead guitar on that song. Although they all wrote songs for the band, she and Jane Wiedlin (the one with the silver guitar) were credited for a large majority of the song writing for the band.

[@richmurray8992]

Yes, this is the only Go-Go's song I can think of where there is really any significant keyboard. Charlotte is usually on lead guitar. Back around 2009 I finally saw them play live, after being a fan of theirs since the early 80s, and being in the presence of Charlotte playing that piano on "Head Over Heels" definitely ticked an item off my musical bucket list. It was a great show, but unfortunately it was during the period when Kathy wasn't in the band, so I still haven't seen the classic lineup.

[@jeffg.6110]

Also, Charlotte was on a lot of cocaine at this time.

[@LibraKing3121]

Sorry I'm going to have to contest that statement. The "quintessential summer song" of the 80's HAS to be, "Cruel Summer" by Bananarama! Not even a person favorite of mine but, that song was EVERYWHERE back then. Which makes for a nice little tie in to the song "Our Lips are Sealed" by Fun Boy 3. Both bands covered it with the Go-Go's recording it 1st & Bananarama sang back up for FB3. Also Jane Wiedlin was having a secret affair with the lead singer of FB3, Terry Hall. If you listen to the lyrics carefully you can hear what they're going through while they dated. Another fun fact Jane was a Dominatrix for a number of years. Not sure if she is still. When ever I hear her voice, I chuckle and think; Wow, she's a Dominatrix?! 🤭🤭

The Go-Go's were very early 80s and they were gone by 85. They started out as a punk band but didn't get far. Then they went and made "Our Lips Are Sealed" and they began their skyrocket careers. They were so huge! I think the studio tried to keep them doing bubble-gum type music and that's what broke them up along w drugs and infighting about who gets what credit and money. Some of the best Go-Go's songs were on that first album "Beauty and the Beat" but not released as singles like "This Town", "Tonite", "Fading Fast", and "Automatic"

One time I was in the front row pressed up against the stage and singing along to my all time favorite song of theirs, "Lust to Love" and as Belinda walked by she put her microphone down to me and let me sing a few words, will never for get that!! Check out "Our Lips are Sealed". The quintessential pop song of all time and the music video is SO cool!!

[@davidrosoff3228]

Anything by Little Richard or Jerry Lee Lewis has really rockin' keyboards!! Also, Billy Joel, & Elton John (especially "Crocodile Rock").

[@BC-ui9yt]

A song that Elton apparently HATES with a passion. I guess it's not Deep and Meaningful Enough for his taste. But, God love 'im, he knows the crowds want it, so he plays it. Says the best thing about retiring is that he'll never have to play it again.

[@EricaGamet]

As a very young teen hearing this when it came out... and seeing the video... I thought I was just super into drums and wanting to be a drummer... turns out I just had a crush on THIS drummer! Hah! My friends and I were experts as our air band version of this song. Oh and in 2020 I finally decided to take up the drums! Of course this song had to be on my list. LOve seeing you guys react to the music I grew up with... so fun to see it through fresh eyes!

The Go-Go’s and The Bangles defined female the pop band sound of the 80s. Everyone else has already made excellent suggestions for the next few Go-Go’s songs you should hear. On The Bangles side, y'all have already listed to "Hazy Shade of Winter", where they rocked out, so a good change of pace next would be " Eternal Flame".

[@tonialoconte]

"Let It Go" has some good keyboard action, if they're looking to scratch that itch.

[@impishsongster333]

The Go-Go's never get old. It's impossible not to bop to their music, it's infectious. And they were so cool, and such an inspiration back in the day when women in rock was still unusual, and an all-female band, was almost unheard of. Thank you, for reacting to them, that was fun!👍🏻 ** Suggestions for this week's Female Friday - Because of the 2022 Winter Olympics being held....please react to, Carrie Underwood's, The Champion. Carrie co-wrote the song, and she sings her tush off. VERY inspiring, uplifting song & video - it's a must see! Warning: It may bring happy tears. It's amazing! Thank you. Keep doing what you do! 😁♥️👏🏼👍🏻

For a 60s/70s vibe check out the Rascals! “People got to be free!” Thank you!

[@bqkmg2037]

That's more a 60s vibe..not 70s...the rascals were from the 1960s.

[@brandolph83]

This is a great choice! I wish y'all could experience what it was like when MTV first came out, it was like nothing we'd ever seen...we'd sit down & watch it for hours just to see what crazy songs & videos would come up. And this one...this was a staple of those days, takes me back, man. Such a special time!

[@seymorestuff235]

Squeeze "pulling muscles from a shell" everyone in the band is great but Jools Holland has a fantastic piano solo in the song

[@shelbysnyder8109]

Yes! I was just thinking to myself 'which Squeeze song is it that has that great piano solo ?' And you called it!

[@Itelkner]

That's a great one!

[@LBrobie]

i love squeeze! they totally need to do some squeeze reactions!

[@lovedc4ever678]

The Go Go's were just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the first all female band to play their own instruments. Yep. They were the very first! So proud to have been introduced to "new wave" as it was back then and every single woman just doing what they do.

[@thethesaxman23]

The piano tune I’d love for you guys to check out is Mess Around by Ray Charles! Also has some great sax too!

[@wegotlumpsofitroundtheback5065]

They were such a breath of fresh air in the 80s! I was 16 when this album came out and had a crush on ALL of them. Such a great group.

[@ironcitytt]

Go-Go's!!!! Thank God for Female Friday! They take me back to a more innocent time in my life! (And, if you want some stankface from piano, try Jerry Lee Lewis "the Killer".)

[@jlilley73]

Yes, I was thinking Jerry Lee Lewis too, although the only song I could think of was "Great Balls of Fire"!

[@michaellawrence4678]

Amber: "I never got STANKFACE from piano!" BEST QUOTE EVER!! Love you guys!!

[@jayo.7086]

If you’re looking for some banging piano, try “One Fine Day” by Carole King. An added plus: some sick saxophone, too!

[@mattdemo7173]

The Go Go's have been one of my favorite bands for my entire life. I remember hearing the Beauty And The Beat album back in 1982 when I was only 5 years old and it has remained one of my favorite albums throughout my life. Really love the solo albums from Jane Wiedlin as well especially the songs "Rush Hour" , "Blue Kiss" and "Tangled".

[@TheRatsCast]

Go go's didn't become popular until the 80's, with the rest of the Nuwave groups

[@thorfinsky1427]

Yeah.... it was around '81 or '82 when they were big.

[@firsttimr]

HAHA - It doesn't matter, but I am a 57 year old man -TOTALLY LOVING YOUR REACTIONS - this one to the Go-Gos, I was rocking along with you the whole way! (but, I did not get any STANK FACE) - your guys really seem like a super nice, sweet family - really look forward to and enjoy your videos as you discover my childhood all over again - how about some B52s, Charlie Daniels song "Uneasy Rider" or some Bluegrass with "99 Years and One Dark Day and Train" live from the Punch Brothers. Keep it up and God Bless!

[@ginalolajupiter2942]

For piano antics look no further than Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and some live Elton John and Billy Joel.

[@jamessinacore6991]

I know from watching other reaction channels, many Billy Joel songs end up blocked, but his 1977 performance of New York State of Mind particularly is amazing. But any live Billy Joel almost always features mind blowing piano work. He is truly a master.

[@TRob_1964]

I was fortunate enough to see the Go-Go's in concert in 1984 and they were AMAZING live! Had all their albums and always admired their music!

[@elizabethfranco1284]

Actually the 1980’s

[@dawnmcmanus2470]

Wow this really takes me back. Ahhh the 80s were the best. I was a teenager in the 80s. It really is the best sound track of my life.

[@MidwesternCornbilly]

The all-female band 'Fanny' actually paved the way for The Go-Go's, The Bangels and so on. Fanny was a pure kick ass Rock band who could musically go toe-to-toe with any of their 70's all-male contemporaries.

[@dathorndike4908]

The Go- Go's had amazing production on all of their albums. The sound they got is so hard, but it has that layer of bubbly pop, too.
