This could actually be the best song of the 1980's...

[@blackwhitemore1468]

I agree

[@lwhisker3]

It's a great song but the best. NO kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqCVooSjn5WSnpY

The blessed 80's

[@idmhead0160]

It's hard not to get a smile on your face watching these two and listening to classics like this.

[@Tazz431]

This song was so 80s, it was all over the radio back in the day. As relevant as it was back in the 80s, it's still just as relevant today.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Tears for fears "HEAD OVER HEALS" and "SHOUT" ❤❤

[@wimve4719]

After all these years, this is still just such a good vibe!

[@danerichter2289]

Let's all go back to the 80's. PLEASE!!!

[@007ndc]

Possibly the quinnessential 80s pop song. An absolute classic gem

[@southernflatland]

Their lyrics "So glad we almost made it, So sad they had to fade it.." That's a jab at the radio industry at the time, that asked them to cut off like 8 seconds of their song, otherwise they'd have to fade it out. Not only is it an awesome song with deep meaning, it goes even deeper with that little Easter Egg lyric they put in. Nobody got to hear the full complete version on the radio back then, they literally did fade it out.

[@blaze1148]

_"So glad we almost made it, So sad they had to fade it.." - *fate it**

[@southernflatland]

@@blaze1148 No, the lyric literally says fade it. It was a jab at the radio stations that told them their song was a bit too long for their allowed radio time slot, and if they didn't shorten the song then they would have to fade it out early.

[@blaze1148]

@@southernflatland ahh ok thanks.

[@fasttruckman]

I enjoyed how she got excited about the phone booth. I'm an old G and when I tell my kids that back in the day we had at least 15 to 20 phone numbers committed to memory and they think it's impossible to remember that many phone numbers.

[@OldMusicFan83]

Seven digits though

[@MDElam]

Roland Orzabal is an underappreciated guitarist. Imho, Tears for Fears is one of the most musically talented groups ever!

[@marlecmarine5393]

Great reaction to a fabulous song, tears for fears were such a great band and still going now......🙂

[@777petew]

It was massive, in both the UK and USA. Real feel-good.

[@anthonyjasso4125]

The have a live version they performed fairly recently. They sound just as amazing as they did back in the 80s. 40 years later and still killing it. Check it out

[@GrayNeko]

If you're talking about the anniversary performance, holy CRAP! They haven't lost a step! ^_^

[@janeybreitzman5629]

saw it and was shocked at how it sounded so good for their age! It was easy as good as original

[@Scotch_N_Drums]

Saw them live on the Tipping Point Tour last summer. They were amazing 😊

[@jeremychen4356]

I knew that bro

[@user-yz9rr3ct1g]

So, according to Quincy Jones, this is the song that inspired Michael Jackson to write "The Way You Make Me Feel." The groove is very similar.

[@ryanexsus]

Tears For Fears had a bunch of bangers.

[@gcollinbyrne]

It's such a well written, well performed song.

[@kerrihennebury7616]

They had several mega hits in the 80’s. One of the best bands from the decade.

[@jlouis4407]

They had 3 monster hits in 1985 they were inescapable: Everybody Wants to Rule the World, Shout, and Head Over Heels

[@GSMSfromFV]

05:08 __ You mention, "Dollar forty-five for gas," from back in the 80s. When I was in high school in the mid/late 60s, gas was 25-cents a gallon. I drove a Volkswagen Beetle with a 10-gallon tank. A fill-up was $2.50 and would last a week! ;o)

[@ninasazonova2511]

THE TITLE IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE ABOUT OUR WORLD !!!

[@51Dss]

I think the meaning of the song is that when you're free and able to indulge every whim - flying a glider, riding bikes in the desert, driving a convertible sports car...unburdened with worries about work, illness, politics...you feel like the world is in the palm of your hand. Everybody aspires to be the king of his own kingdom...everybody wants the luxury of time, health, money to live unburdened by worldly things. It is a feel good song - I agree with that sentiment. It is these young guys who were living that kind of lifestyle when they wrote and performed this song. And it was symbolic of the '80s - a decade thought of as a time of greed and over indulgence (somewhat unfairly IMHO). These guys were lov'n life and they were singing about it. Great song - fresh faced young guys enjoying good clean living.

[@monticlassictv]

It’s those first few bars of the intro that hook you into this song which for me personally is possibly thee best pop song ever recorded because you had to be a young person living through this 1980’s decade to appreciate what you were listening to at the time.

[@blackwhitemore1468]

All the young people i watch react to this song and video, it always brings a smile to the faces of the reactors,including you two.😊 I love it.

[@48mastadon]

It was played at the end of the movie "Real Genius" featuring Val Kilmer.

[@batonbe1]

I think this might be the best song ever written

[@G_Demolished]

Those three wheelers were death machines, but that was when kids were playing with lawn darts.

[@pauljeannotte354]

So good! This is such a quintessential 80's sound.

[@astroteech]

I'm an MTV viewer from the beginning. I so remember this video, plus I have the vinyl version of this album forever.

[@msmrsro]

In high school 1982-86. Such memories from this song.

[@hahatoldyouso]

Michael Jackson sampled the bass line for ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’

[@GrayNeko]

Great reaction! One of the best pop songs ever written. Funny story, TFF were in the final stages of recording 'Songs From the Big Chair', when Roland Orzabal (sp?) came up with this little two-chord vamp. Their producer heard it, loved it, and encouraged him to develop it into a song. He wasn't very interested, who can blame him, he'd just recorded a very complicated album, but the producer convinced him to give it a shot. Turned out to be one of the defining songs of the '80s and the biggest hit TFF ever had. You just never know when and where lightning will strike. ^_~

[@jkbezo1]

About time you did some new wave. Also a lot of it is melancholy, sad/happy. Dance music.

[@larryhalbrook6874]

I wore this song out back in the 80s. I played it all the time. I never get tired of it. Tears for Fears was my favorite band "back in the day". Love your reaction!

[@stevetanner3019]

You should also check out “Sowing The Seeds Of Love”, and “Woman In Chains” from the album after this one. Tears for Fears first three albums were all incredible.

[@Lilly8Listens]

I showed this song to my 8 year old granddaughter and now she loves it too.

[@19HuskyWolf70]

The 80's were a special time we didn't appreciate, now I miss it.....

Nice to hear some 80's reaction. A great decade for music.

Saw them last year and they still sound great. Probably gonna see them again in July. This song is one of the best pop songs period.

[@revgurley]

They put out a new album of ALL NEW MUSIC in 2022 and it's incredible. They sound better now than they did in the '80s. The album is called "The Tipping Point," and though the entire album is great, make sure to watch the official videos for "Break The Man," "The Tipping Point," and "Rivers of Mercy" (be prepared to cry for the last one). Also find a live version of My Demons during the 2022 US tour (they went to the UK, too, but the lighting isn't as good). Loved the song, but the stage lighting in the US was mind blowing. Yay for y'all enjoying TFF!!

[@niles8102]

I was at a punk & metal concert here in Seattle last month and as the road crew were setting up between bands, this song played on the speakers so they turned the volume up and the crowd went bonkers as one of the road guys preteneded to sing this on an unplugged microphone 😂😂😂 it was a hoot

[@susanstavrou4232]

One Of My Favourite Song Of The 80s

[@mariodelarosa5722]

This song has a beachy vibe for me, especially since back in the song's heyday in the 80's, I heard it blasting from a stereo while at the beach in Galveston, Texas. That memory has always stuck in my mind for me. A good memory I must say.

[@FunknGrvn]

These guys discovered Oleta Adams singing in a club here in Kansas City one night after one of their concerts. She had a hit song in the late 80's or 90 called "Get Here"

[@michaelbiggs7861]

Tears For Fears are Curt Smith and Roland Orzabal. Curt sings lead vocal on Everybody Rules The World, but Roland sings the majority of their songs. Check out the glorious Woman In Chains which has Roland on lead vocal, the song has become a feminist anthem. Also check out Advice For The Young At Heart with Curt on lead Vocal, or Head Over Heels (Roland) or check out The Tipping Point which was released in 2022 and has both Curt and Roland singing throughout.

[@jerrykessler2478]

The first time I heard this song was during the end credits of the movie Real Genius.

[@edwardlongshanks827]

The sports car in the video is an Austin-Healey 3000. A car built from 1959 to 1967. My dad back in the late '50s owned the model that preceded it, the Austin-Healey 100-4. The most obvious visual difference between the two was the shape of the grill.

[@blitztim6416]

The phone booth, restaurant and dinosaurs were in a town called Cabazon. The restaurant and phone booth are gone, but the dinosaurs are still there. When he is singing by what looks like the ocean is probably actually the Salton Sea. And the sand dunes are just north of Palm Springs.

[@fernandonavarrette4522]

Even for a Metal head like me, I thoroughly enjoy this song.

[@phishcatt]

Why would a metal head not enjoy this song?

[@Hp411hp]

You’re right, it was from the movie Real Genius starring Val Kilmer.

[@jamesrobbison]

Great movie, Kilmer at his best!

Just another brilliant British band, we've got hundreds of them.

LOL I remember gas being 19.9 cents when I got my license. We could run all night on a buck. LOL One benefit of being a 70 year old broad. ONE benefit. My teen years were the 60's. Graduated in 1971. Brother was still in Vietnam, lots of protesting & still civil rights issues, but our music was the best! Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Elvis, The Beatles and a zillion others..

I remember driving my brother to watch a soccer game to cheer him up. He had just broken up with his long term girlfriend. I played him my mixes, we both DJ'd, he did Hip Hop and I did RnB. This song came on and Id mixed it with Warren G. There was a long pause as this came in.

[@vicprovost2561]

Great song from one of the best bands and albums of that era, they have many good tunes, try Head Over Heels next, they have incredible vocals and a crack band that continues to this day. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

[@nickface55]

I broke up laughing when you said "$1.45 for gas," when I started to drive it was $0.28 a gallon, you could literally fill your tank up with the change in your pocket.

[@hawkuser604]

80's and 90's are the best, glad I grew up in that time (teens and 20's)

[@karlschmitt6359]

I was in high school when this came out, but I was primarily a rocker so I laughed at groups like this!

[@execatty]

i was also in HS...make you sad now realizing how lucky we were to be young and in the 80s...peace

[@mikenastasi8927]

This came out in 1985. $1.45 would have been expensive for gas then. I remember when I started driving in 1992, I could get get for $.99 on Long Island, NY.

[@snowdog03]

I recall it being played out when I was a teen.

They are still killing it…..” Tipping Point”, new album. Two great singers and talented band.Try “ Shout” or “ Head Over Heels”…. Two other great hits.

[@BlackieNuff]

This is my favorite song from these guys. Head Over Heels, followed by Mad World is next. Shout is also very good, but for me it's one of those songs that I don't appreciate until I hear it again (does that make sense?) - like, if I am scrolling through my playlist, I'll look at Shout and think "meh", but if I actually PLAY it, then I remember why it's good. Another good one is Laid So Low (Tears Roll Down).

[@jeep3r]

This song sounds like the sountrack to a miami vice episode.

[@minty_Joe]

Great song on an equally GREAT ALBUM! Give it a listen. Such iconic classic songs from beginning to end. It's funny you mention about hearing this song in a movie, when in fact it was featured at the end credits of the 1985 classic "Real Genius" starring Val Kilmer Gabe Jarret, Jonathan Gries (aka Uncle Rico; Napolean Dynamite) Michelle Meyrink, William Atherton (1984's Ghostbusters; 1998's Die Hard), Ed Lauter and Yuji Okumoto (Chozen; Karate Kid part 2 & Cobra Kai).
