Fascinating Band. They disbanded in 93. The lead singer Tom Bailey married the female band member Alana and moved to New Zealand to live in the bush. She was from New Zealand. They had 2 kids and Tom suffered depression. They broke up, she moved back to England with the kids and is now a visual artist activist. Tom has a new line up and is touring again singing Thompson Twins songs. This song is familiar as it has been used in many movies esp The Wedding Singer!

I liked "Lies" the very best, but it wasn't their biggest hit. It was, though, the first release that "put them on the map". To continue with SO VERY 80's try "Whirly Girl" by OXO, and "Poison Arrow" by ABC. And without a doubt, do "Words" by Missing Persons. See where Lady Gaga got her ideas.

The trio is named after characters in a Belgian comic strip (translated into many languages) called "The Adventures of Tintin," about a young cub reporter named Tintin and his dog Snowy. The identical-looking, bumbling, moustachioed policemen are the Thompson Twins. You might also enjoy the band's hit song "Doctor, Doctor."

The Thompson Twins are neither named "Thompson," nor are they twins. They're three very talented musicians who were HUGE in the late 70s and through the 80s. Just about any song of theirs you could pick is terrific. Their song "If You Were Here" was featured in the soundtrack to the 80s teen flick SIXTEEN CANDLES.

First band I remember seeing with wireless microphones! This is the classic lineup of the band is Tom Bailey(lead vocals) Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway. The band was named after the 2 bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Hergé's comic strip The Adventures of Tintin.

Not really sure about that. This kind of music in the 80s was fairly similar to the american idol stuff. There were for sure some amazing and unique and talented artists in the 80s. But there was also an endless parade of bands putting out top 40 pop garbage with no real substance to it that all sounded relatively the same. It's way worse now for certain. But I think to say there was none of it in the 80s is somewhat delusional.

Thompson Twins were a favorite band of mine in the 80's. I got to see them in a small club in Columbus when In the Name of Love first came out. After the show a friend of mine knew the promoter and we took them out to a local club. When the club closed, we went to an all night restaurant for falafels. They were heading to California and were booked to go on American Bandstand. We had to tell them it was like Top of the Pops in England. I remember they were really nice, down to earth people. I remember asking them who they listened to and they mentioned David Bowie, U2, and Thomas Dolby. For further listening I'd suggest In the Name of Love, Lies, Love On Your Side, and The Gap. Great band!!!

Thompson Twins were hot in the 80s. I was a music video junkie and loved not only their songs but also their videos. 80s were so great for music and videos. Great memories 💯❣

The cool thing about the 80s was that pretty much anything was worth listening to. Music, fashion, and attitude was coming at you so fast that it made your head spin. And it was very inclusive. I can remember exactly where I was at that time in my life when this song came out.

Thompson Twins were a British pop band that formed in April 1977 Initially they were a new wave group, which is why there may be some confusion on their sound....they are definitely a mix of a few genres, and I absolutely adored them!!! It is hard to believe they were all so poor at one time, that they were actually squatters, and couch hoppers, for quite some time! they had top hits in the United Kingdom, the United States, and around the world.

Many of these great 80s hits also have extended 12 inch versions which just makes it more enjoyable to listen to. This brings out so many good ememories of the 80s. I used to listening to this often on my Walkman and wearing out the batteries. Lol. Please react to some early Simple Minds. New Gold Dream is my favorite album of theirs. 81, 82, 83, 84 and Promised you a Miracle is a must listen.

I had forgotten about this song, I grew up in the 80s and 90s but primarily was a metalhead and a massive 60s fan. I am very happy to have come across your channel, as Amber said, now I am (a lot) older I appreciate songs that I grew up with even more now, this one is one of those! I love Jays reactions and that he has gone on this incredible journey and is open to all genres and types of music and artists - made me realise how many artists I know but never really appreciated them having grown up through the 70s and 80s in the UK and Amber - WOW your ability to "get" songs and hone in on lyrics when you hear them for the first time, very special talent. I also love the comments from your amazing contributors as I have learnt so much from them. Keep up the fantastic work and look after yourselves and your loved ones. Apologies for rambling on but I have gone down the Rob Squad Reactions "rabbit hole" :)

I have "Greatest Mixes: The Best of the Thompson Twins" on CD, now migrated to MP3s. Lay Your Hands On Me, King For A Day, You Take Me Up, Get That Love, Doctor! Doctor!, In The Name of Love, Lies, Love On Your Side, The GAP - truly the best along with Hold Me Now featured on there also! There are days when I have a TWINS fit and only listen to this album on rotation all day long if I am in the mood!

If there is any song that can take me back to being 15 in the 80s, it's this one. Amazing music and some of the most quotable lyrics - A heck of a lot of people used quotes from this song in their high school yearbooks back then.

You guys are hitting the 80s hard! If you like the mysterious 80s, you should hit REM, Driver 8 or Radio Free Europe. They had a real mystique then and a very evocative, sometimes haunting sound.
