[@THEJAYYSHOW]

So sorry that this video was blocked in some countries I’m trying to get it fixed

[@Isleofskye]

Good Reaction, as always, Jayy and over 78,000 Subscribers! Go, Girl! The Thompson Twins from Sheffield in The North Of England had many UK hits in The 1980s. ps: One slight thing I would change, especially as the screen is so small is that the flowers surrounding the frame just need to move to the right a little bit as they were blocking half of the screen.

[@palmirasanchez]

This music was literally MAGIC! THIS WAS AN AWESOME GROUP AND SOUND... Thank you Jayy 💙

[@kevinoriordan7387]

Seriously, the crowd's of people that call themselves bands today only dream of making music like that. Tremendous.

[@claystevenson1821]

That is the God's Honest Truth.

[@stevemariman8769]

Thompson Twins ruled the radio in the 80s! "Hold Me Now" "Doctor, Doctor!" "King For a Day" "You Take Me Up" "Lay Your Hands On Me" and many others. Their sound is totally unique!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

One of my fave 80s songs! ♥ Killer bass line. Check out their songs: Lies & Lay Your Hands On Me

[@joeybee1914]

Doctor Doctor as well.

[@dracula7644]

In the name of love. Is another great song

[@martymart6143]

I love the Thompson Twins. Probably my favourite 80s band

[@annother3350]

Come Inside -- their early House song

[@dougwalker3333]

Into the Gap also.

[@John_Chu]

One of my favorite ‘80s British groups. The lead singer and the girl were married for almost 20 years. Sadly, they divorced.

[@chrisnicol1644]

Jayy... The cool thing about you is that you bring back music I haven't heard in 30 years... Thank you... You are a saint....

[@nikkicarrington9365]

Thompson Twins, yet another great British Band, some really great songs to discover.

[@robbie007]

From the golden year of 84. Greatest year of music.

[@frankrizzo4460]

I remember seeing them in concert back in the 80s and they we're incredible, also Howard Jones opened up for them, really great time back then 🤔

[@ilovethe80slovesongs21]

Omg!

[@miaschu8175]

Oh wow! I can't remember who opened for them when I saw TTT, but I'd have been thrilled if it had been Howard Jones! The one and only time that I bunked off school was to see Howard Jones at a local record shop. Then, he didn't turn up because he got invited onto TOTP at the last minute. :D

[@miaschu8175]

I had such a crush on Tom Bailey, probably after hearing this very song. My friend and I saw The Thompson Twins at the NEC in Birmingham when we were 17. I'm only 5 feet tall and my friend is even smaller, so we could barely see the stage with so many taller people in front of us. Well, a couple of kind security men took pity on us - they took us from the middle of the crowd, through the barriers, and right up to the edge of the stage! Tom came over and sang to us - my smile was so wide that my cheeks ached by the end of the night :D

[@davidwalker683]

If you were here, doctor doctor, king for one day,lay your hands on me, lies, love on your side. All great tracks by them.

[@oddgriffin]

This was never my kind of music at the time as i was a complete metalhead, but i know and knew a good song when it crossed my ears. There were a bunch of good songs coming out in many different styles of music, and they've held up well in time

[@prodigal71]

Same here...I was 12-13 at the time & I wouldn't let my "metal friends" know I still listened to pop music....at least the really GOOD stuff & this is just so good. NOW I'm just a MUSIC fan...if it's good & it moves me, I'll listen to it. Ah, the joys of being 50

[@tonyhogg9839]

A guy a year ahead of me in high school was like that. He was into Billy Idol, lover boy, kiss and groups like that. I doubt he liked this song. He thought most of the top 40 sucked.

[@paulwalsh2344]

OH MY GOD ! GET OUT OF MY MIND YOU GUYS ! Exactly the same story... ... in practically every genre... the 80's RULED !

[@miaschu8175]

Haha! I'm the opposite. I loved The Thompson Twins, Scritti Politti, Soft Cell, ABC and, of course, both Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran! Now, I'm more into rock. But, it's all music - it's all good!

[@PhoenixRisen63]

Man, this is still just GOLDEN. Loved your genuine reaction!

[@jeromepascual3497]

They were pretty much written off as just a catchy 80’s new wave band but I remember when the single “Lies” came out. It was like nothing else at the time. They were truly innovative and underrated.

[@anthalas1]

A other great exemple why i think 80's pop music was way better back then , a good reason why ,it because back then 95% of pop song where still made with real music instrument, (sry for my bad english )

[@jbarton8508]

Your English is great, and you are correct about 80's pop music!

[@bjhellstream]

Well, we used a lot of sequencers and synthesizers in those days.

[@anthalas1]

@@bjhellstream Not saying they did not use some ,but MOST of those song where still using real instrument to , something that they dont do alot now

[@bjhellstream]

@@anthalas1 Yeah, synthesizers were played too. But even now you can make music on computers if you don't use samples, beats and quantizing.

[@starz1779]

This is one of my favorite songs growing up as a lil kid in the 80s! Timeless

[@jollyrodgers7272]

A classic 80's hit! Suggestions for more like this; Fine Young Cannibals' "SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY" and "GOOD THING", Tears For Fears' "EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD" and "HEAD OVER HEELS" (always select the Official Music Video). I'm in my mid-60's and find myself reminiscing about music from the 80's more and more.

[@jamesbainton8090]

One of the best songs of the 80s no doubt. The bass👍🎸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. Love the break it's amazing

[@kendonnis5322]

This woman is so beautiful and I love her reactions to my favourite 80s songs .

[@rare_wulf9358]

Yeah nobody play 80’s new wave like her, which is my favorite genre, everybody else mostly play rock or hard rock, which i also like but is not my favorite

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Humongous 80’s hit!!! Love it!! 💝❤️👍

[@anessalyn1035]

ah one of my 80s' favorites

[@ladykaycey]

One of my favourite groups in the 80s. So many good songs 🎵

[@WineSippingCowboy]

This is the most famous song of The Thompson Twins.🇬🇧 Great ballad! 😃 Produced by the late Alex Sadkin. The next year, TT hired Nile Rodgers to produce the next album Into the Gap. Foreigner hired lead singer Tom Bailey to play keyboards on I Want to Know What Love Is. In Live Aid, TT played this with Nile Rodgers on guitar. RIP Alex Sadkin. He passed away in a car accident in The Bahamas 4 years after this recording. 🇺🇲

[@goatiefatdaddy]

One of the quintessential anthems of the eighties! Love it! Great reaction as always! ❤️

[@tigerwilliams7723]

Gotta love the 80s...the whole vibe is giving me life. Check out John Waite "Missing You". I think you'll like that one.

[@dennissanjuan1486]

This was another beautiful song coming from the 80's. The best and brightest artists came from this era and this band is no exception. Thompson Twins was part of the British invasion of the music scene during that time.

[@surferjoehangten]

The only haunting song you will ever hear that will last you a lifetime.....and bring tears to your eyes many years from now when you hear it again.....remember this forever! I know....I'm pushing 77.....

[@nicholashunt9522]

Top 80's vibe.

[@mangerinegirl]

Oh my gosh this was a great surprise today!! I love Thompson Twins! There are so so many awesome songs to choose from with this band, I don’t even know where to start. I’d love to see you react to Doctor Doctor or Lay Your Hands on Me, but like I said there are so many. I agree with you completely about the theme of the song, it gives me the vibe of a couple who breaks up every other day but never for real, you know?

[@xoxxobob61]

How about "In the Name of Love"? Check out their Live version of that song! You won't regret it!

[@stretchgilbert]

One of the greatest Pop songs ever made IMHO

[@Mark-po6ng]

wow, this brings back memories! the 80's were such a magical time for bands of all genres.

[@paulwalsh2344]

100 % !

[@iwantmyutube9040]

This song takes me back and makes me feel like I'm in my teens again. 😊 They don't make songs like this anymore.

[@stephenpaxman6180]

this is why 80s was so good with music like this

[@kevinmoss6428]

"Love On Your Side" is another great one from the Thompson Twins

[@caros4734]

Always loved the Thompson Twins.

[@connieleighton4375]

Storm of the sea is my favorite song, but I love these guy's and they have alot of great music...♡

[@rb7007]

This takes me back to my school days in South London mid 80s. Great times! 💕

[@geminiacleo7ewe]

Yep! You pretty much summed up the song! Glad you liked it! Tom Bailey (lead singer) and Alannah Currie have been married for about 35 years and raise llamas, I believe. And constantly stay in touch with Joe Leeway! Friends to the end!!!

[@lolalilolily]

Play tape, rewind, play tape, rewind and repeat. That's all I did in the eighties. Another song worth listening to: Alphaville - Forever young

[@xperfloorcare]

My favorite era no matter the genre! 80’s 💯

[@annewoodard6803]

I saw the Thompson Twins in concert. Great song, great 80’s band! ❤️😁

[@clarissagarza7284]

Yes! Still a banger!

[@patrickannunziato6101]

loved the Thompson Twins. you took me back to the 80s and my time in High School. what a great time.

[@surlechapeau]

Great reaction! Great band, saw them in the 80's. British band Re-Flex opened for them, and I met Thomas Dolby in the audience. First time I remember seeing a band with headset microphones.

[@abbas1872]

The Thompson Twins did an anti drugs song in the early 80's called 'Don't mess with doctor dream' it's worth checking out.

[@vespoint]

Also check out Doctor, Doctor and Into the Gap

[@Rosiepooh75]

I love Thompson Twins! They had so many great songs!! If we're checking out great British 80s bands, check out the band James with "Sit Down" and "This Bed is on Fire"

[@tlucas9798]

Doctor Doctor is my fave

[@layyah0905]

Beautiful 80s classic. You will love Level 42 "Leaving me now" and "Something about you"

[@depmodealex]

This is my 11 yr old daughters favorite song, has been since she was like 3. We would sing it everyday on my way to take her to grandma's house 😂

[@Mainecoonlady.]

80s British pop. The best!!!

[@sumofo9742]

Moment of honesty: my first cassette tape (single) I ever owned. Talk about a trip down memory lane. 😆 Thank you!! 💕

[@joel65913]

Saw them in concert when they were touring for this album and they sounded just like they did here. A fun concert.

[@Oddworld2024]

Thanks jayy for the reaction to this band cool groovin sounds

[@loriamarsh]

Your reactions always make me smile - thank you for your positive energy!

[@RecordsWithRyan]

great choice!

[@margaretrobinson3144]

They were so cool ahead of their time,thank you for playing it ,so many memories of this era x

[@Matthew-iz8lt]

You are such a nice person

[@garysteinert8040]

I was stationed in Christ Church New Zealand in the early 80s when this was a hit.

[@Kim-hc5si]

The third verse DESTROYS me. Still.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

These were the right rhymes for the right times back in the 80's. We were all Reagan era kids, wasting our money at the video arcades and hooked on MTV, we thought we had it all figured out back then...

[@joelliebler5690]

Great great song and yes everyone is still dancing to this tune!

[@ronaldcardinali2809]

You also should try from them these others great songs : "Doctor doctor" & "Love on your side" trust me you will love them.

[@holyspacemonkey]

One of my all-time favorite songs!

[@deelawson4551]

Love it!! Has always been a favorite of mine..Keep On Rockin`

[@hiko73]

This band has SO many great songs!!

[@baaz12]

The backing vocals reminds me of Jon Anderson from the group Yes. Check out "I'll find my way home" by Jon & Vangelis, or "Owner of a lonely heart" by Yes

[@DizJakeOG]

Good song and great band. Great job Jayy!

[@Pugiron]

My all time favorite "80's Song"

[@deennaemilio]

One of the things I love about your videos is that you listen and react to the words.

[@LanceG24]

Hey Jayy sending love and good vibes only. Hope you had an awesome day , Jayy.

[@HiddenCharmhome]

Your facial expressions are half the reason I watch! I *love* your channel!

[@christinebretz255]

Listen to them sing ...... Lay Your Hands

[@robin9876]

Love your shirt & headphones! And your love of this cool 80's band!

[@Dragon373]

another 80's classic. Brilliant

[@laminage]

They actually took their name from The European Comic Strip Rin Tin Tin where the Main Character had some Friends who were Detectives known as The Thompson Twins. It has the same following that Archie does in North America. Alot of Groups weren't actually "Related". The Righteous Brothers aren't Brothers and only Sylvester Stewart's Sister was related to him in Sly & The Family Stone. In the 1980's they were one of many Groups who helped epitomize the Second Wave of the British Invasion. From 1983-1986 there wasn't a Group from England, Australia, Sweden and Norway who didn't own the Charts.

[@DJHolte]

This is one of those quintessential 80s songs - so much so that if you wanted to explain the music of the decade to someone from a different generation, but only had a few minutes, you could just play this song.

[@seanneal552]

I love the falsetto parts the best. So much fun singing along with my momma on road trips.

[@for-real-countrygirl4192]

Aaaaaay- jaaayyy whatcha say , girl plz react to Talking Heads - burning down the house. Another fab 80s hit. Love ya beautiful

[@vorbis4860]

Love these guys. "Lay Your Hands On Me" and "King For A Day" are fun songs too.

[@jimreid4367]

Wow this takes me back to my teenage years The Thompson Twins were my favourite band in the 80's , love songs like " lay your hands on me " , " Doctor Doctor " , " Sister of Mercy " , " King for a day " , " you take me up " & " we are detectives " .

[@coryevon6482]

The eighties just said, Welcome Jayy, hold me now, stay with me!

[@JonzStoneroadAvalon808]

Lies, Lies, Lies, Doctor, Doctor, You Take Me Up are classics of TT.

[@davidharrison7779]

Great to see you really enjoy this real music

[@prodigal71]

What memories!! I can remember being 12 or 13 & listening to the Top 40 countdown in my room on a Sunday...love THIS so so much

[@roenamorgan5863]

"One of my very favorite,from "The Thompson Twins',is titled'Passion Planet',:1-24-2022"

[@marciv2964]

Luv U Jayy 💓 keep up the good music 🎶

[@mattpotter8725]

Great reaction!!! Good to see you reacting to 80s hits from the UK. You should check out Nik Kershaw, maybe The Riddle or Wouldn't It Be Good.

[@rebelheartcr8599]

Hey, Jayy!! It's funny you talked about arguments because that was precisely the inspiration behind Hold Me Now. Tom Bailey, the lead singer and main composer of the band, wrote Hold Me Now after an argument with her girlfriend at the time, who is the girl who played the percussion and the marimba in the video. Her name is Alannah Currie. They eventually got married back in 1991, moved to New Zealand (where Alannah is originally from), had children and unfortunately they are no longer together since the early 2000's. 2003 or so if I'm not mistaken. However, this is a great band and yes there are many other songs worth checking out: Lies, Love on Your Side, Lay Your Hands on Me, King for a Day, Don't Mess with Doctor Dream, Sugar Daddy, just to name a few.

[@davidgale7384]

A real toe grinding dance tune.... Bass line is killer. Won a few bottles of cheap champagne at contests in the 80's to this.... Turn her and then a big lift....

[@NicaB75]

You have to watch Sixteen Candles! The Thompson Twins song "If You Were Here" plays through the last scene, and it's an iconic 80's movie moment. The movie is a classic. Also...Jake Ryan. Trust me. 😍

[@michaelwheeling8427]

Looks like you were feeling it.🌹

[@maggienichols1482]

Girl you’re reaction to this is right on!!! Woo hoo!! Great vibe 🎶🎶🎶❤️😊

[@tcith429]

To me, this song is the 100% embodiment of the 80s.

[@joeyrobison6629]

Other great songs by Thompson Twins: "If You Were Here" (from the movie "16 Candles" starring Molly Ringwald), "Lies", "Doctor, Doctor", "Lay Your Hands On Me" and "King For A Day" among others.

[@josephmorago8402]

Thanks for the memories!!!! This song will always remind me of my high school girlfriend,,, She was senior i was a junior.?... Things didn't work out but we are still friends!!!

[@reallife7235]

Nice to see more and more people getting a taste of the 1980's.

[@Boatzilla2]

Feelin' down? Turn on The Jayy Show, you'll feel like a million bucks. Thanks for the love, Jayy

[@tjvertigo]

I love the bassline in this song! One of my favs from the 80's! Thanks for reacting to it.

[@jimreid4367]

The Thompson Twins took their name from a cartoon " Tintin " were there are 2 characters who are twins who are detectives from Thompson & Thompson .
