OMG WE LOVE THE VIBES!!! JOHN PAUL YOUNG - LOVE IS IN THE AIR (REACTION)

[@dagmar.6954]

John Paul Young is a Scottish-born Australian pop singer who had this 1978 worldwide hit with "Love Is In The Air". He had some other songs such as "Standing In The Rain", "I Hate The Music", "Yesterday's Hero", "The Love Game", "Keep On Smilin'" etc.

This was the main theme to the movie Strictly Ballroom starring Paul Mercurio. Wonderful film!

[@robertsaladino7945]

Fabulous! Thank You. You both will like Lou Rawls. You'll Never find another love like mine.

[@kimcutts424]

Omg. I absolutely 💯 love this song. A big hit in the UK. Haven't heard it in a long time. Thank you for playing and reacting to it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@eviekelpie1]

Yes. In Australia it was huge as you could imagine. I don't think there's an Aussie out there whom doesn't know this song. He actually lives only a few suburbs from me

[@eviekelpie1]

OMG you did JPY!!! Huge huge hit here in Australia!!! Our Aussie boy from my teenage days. He actually lives minutes from me in Lake Macquarie NSW Australia. A hit machine and still doing gigs!

[@Citizenesse8]

Oh, this is one of my absolute favorites. They also revived its popularity when it was used in a movie called Strictly Ballroom. I was really young when I heard the song like in the single digits and I remember dancing around my room to the song because it was so poignant and hopeful and sweet.

[@michaelnolan1963]

Thankyou guys for taking me back to HIGH school '78 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯❤️💯

[@lovemyrainydays]

Yes!!! Love it. Here in Australia, JPY (nicknamed "Squeak") was pretty much king of the 70's music scene. He had so so many great songs in that decade - Yesterday's Hero, I Hate the Music, Keep on Smiling, The Love Game, Where the Action Is, I Wanna Do It With You, The Painting, Pasadena etc, etc.

[@tonymellow9578]

Takes me back to the Countdown days.

[@jonlenihan4798]

Pre-disco. The tambourines shout, "Hippies. 1960s. Groovy." Featured in the closing, dance scene of "Strictly Ballroom" (1992), a charming romance out of Australia. I suspect, in their previous lives, Shawn and Mel were tie dye and patchouli wearing hippes

[@timetravellingone]

It feels so weird to hear a song i haven't heard in years, took me right back to when i first heard it

[@eviekelpie1]

You haven't heard it for years? Where are you from? Here in Australia I hear it constantly on the radio and films. JPY lives only minutes from my place

[@monikabeki6838]

It’s a song that just makes you feel good!

[@Teresia12]

The dance floor was full with lovers swaying and doing their best disco moves. Good memories.

[@Elisa-vg4qt]

The song and the singer are beautiful!

[@lhuntley4577]

This plays at the end of the Australian film, Strictly Ballroom. It is a fabulous movie!!!

[@Keykey74]

Such a fun movie! I knew this was familiar.

[@eviekelpie1]

Yes, I've seen it a few times. Paul Mercurio is great and he's a real Ballroom dancer

[@rian202003]

Was my mum favourite film saw it as a kid on Sky movies in early 90s. Good memories. Lovely song

[@waratahdavid696]

​@eviekelpie1 not a real ballroom dancer, a real contemporary dancer ( in 90s) principle dancer with Sydney dance company. And, yes, he's great.

[@edgardramosfonsecafilho7847]

I am blessed by God. I was born in 1961 and I enjoyed these songs from the 70's, 80's, 90's... Here in my country, Brazil, "Love Is In The Air" was very successful. I really like your reactions. I'm a fan of the channel... Thank you.

[@ladylibrum7145]

I love how uplifting the music of that era was.

[@malinhead322]

Its on my playlist...a great tune....love it. 👍

[@belindabarnett5646]

I've never heard this before great tune Mel your mile is infectious and I love you both your reactions are fun and upbeat ....smiles here y'all❤✌

[@cinthiak8276]

i was looking for someone to react to this song ❤️ Thank you so much... 🙏

[@robertasirgutz8800]

One of my favorite songs!!!! Great choices, you guys.

[@joeyrobison6629]

It was definitely in the DJ mix on a lot of disco dance floors in 1978!

[@TheShanshuprophecy]

Shout out from Sydney - thanks for doing a reaction to an Aussie icon - saw this guy in concert when I was just 9 years old … also just watched your Air Supply react - another national treasure not known very well outside of Australasia - I hope they get to see your video

[@geetee4459]

I think Air Supply had many many more big hits in the US than in Australia, Except for 'Love & Other Bruises' which was probably their best ever song.

[@countryboyb2506]

Always love this song.

[@sarablack2547]

Love this feel good song.it's used in Aussie film strictly ballroom which is also feel good and fab!

[@MySherry10]

I had forgot this song , so many great songs that you forget some that you just loved hearing. such happy times and great music just meant to make you feel good. Thats why music then was so much better because it was always somthing to uplift

[@eviekelpie1]

Absolutely! We've see John a couple of times. He's amazing and has a great personality too

Love, in all its beautiful expressions, is the most powerful force in existence. It makes everything wonderful. Imagine what our little world would be like if all the hate were replaced with love.

[@lesleypulling129]

Love this song remember it well ❤❤❤

[@notanotherenigma7759]

There was an Australian band made up of immigrants who met at the Villawood Immigration centre. They were The Easybeats, and were called Australia's answer to the Beatles. They did a tour of Europe, came home and broke up, but the two song writers, Harry Vanda and George Young (brother of Angus and Malcolm from ACDC) wrote heaps of songs, so they came back to Australia and put out a few singles under the name Flash and the Pan. But they became producers, and produced many Australian singers/bands. They wrote this and many more JPY songs.

[@markp2023]

Yes love is in the air open your spiritual eyes

[@kaarhildtorset4850]

Oh memories from late 70s

[@jethro1963]

IIRC this song had a lot of airplay, so much so I think it was parodied in some circles (lounge lizards). Kind of like "I love you, man"

[@stuartblandford2310]

Play it at the end of any big night and it will blow everyone’s minds

[@GunnarFreyr71909]

Just one of the best happy songs ever :)

[@stephenulmer3781]

[@JR-fi8uu]

I recommend watching "Stickly Ballroom"! A brilliant movie!!!! Love in the air is in the soundtrack!

[@eviekelpie1]

If you watch the movie, Strictly Ballroom, this is the song at the end. It's all about Ballroom dancing competition

[@suedyment511]

♥️♥️

[@eviekelpie1]

This song was composed and produced by Harry Vanda and George Young. George Young was Angus Young's (ACDC,) eldest brother whom also was in a group called The Easybeats with Harry Vanda. They composed and produced many hits. More JPY as we call him, I hate the music Yesterday's hero The Easybeats, Friday on my mind Sorry Show me the way to St Louis

You should here "Yesterday's Hero". JPY hit it out of the park with this one. ✌

[@MrLittlelud4]

Wonder if he was related to Angus . You do pick some good oldies .🙂

[@eviekelpie1]

Apparently they are cousins. Angus eldest brother composed and produced this song and heaps of other huge hits

Loved your reaction to our J.P.Y. - do yourselves a favour and check out his remixed version that was used in the Aussie film "Strictly Ballroom" (in itself a masterpiece of Australian Cinema) at this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIqnl52GmtuieNk
