Hey Guys Listening to this 2023 New Year’s Eve Long live the 80’s

[@MagicThys]

I saw these guys in 85, fucking brilliant stage show and soulful music, so impressed by Tom Bailey and Alannah Curry

[@williamkittler]

I caught them that year as well. It was absolutely one of the best concerts ever put to stage! They were able to reproduce every sound you hear in these songs. Something I thought they would never be able to accomplish… yet, they did! And it was magnificent to see, hear and experience!

[@DIETRICHCICCONE]

Unlike anything else from that time...great song and video

[@albertz2392]

Way ahead of its time❤

[@hesselklijnstra4188]

Love it also great extended mixes

[@christineread849]

Simple perfection!

[@prof.addicted3421]

Die guten alten 80'ts ❤❤❤

[@toneyemerson1299]

I’m 55 now, i so remember this song in the fall of 85 when i was a junior in high school, brings back so many memories❤

[@MagnumOpus-Australia]

You do know it's about heroin ?

[@coolaboris]

Loved this from the first time I heard it in the 80s.

[@johnfrancis1925]

The best thing about Thompson Twins songs is the lyrics, they just take a bunch of standard colloquialisms and slang and voila.. a song.

[@EnnioRome]

another song about & against drugs, was a important social message for the young audience

[@DanielaSchwarz-we9bv]

I remember the great 80s❤The best music ....now 2024 : Crap

[@rodneyvoshell9296]

I couldn’t agree more about that

[@JeffTheNebraskaDJ]

ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj

[@leahsymanski]

I knew they did a song called Doctor Doctor, but i forgot all about this one. Pity it wasn't a bigger hit.

[@danth78]

Every once in a while I have to listen to this weird ass song. There's something about it that cannot be denied. Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ow!

[@irisdurant1]

Saw them in 85’ still talking about it.

[@DarronSanderson]

Dream big-you can do anything you put your mind to.

[@davidgarris2513]

Excellent. Can't say anything else 🐾🐶🐕

[@Aramanth]

I had this cool EP that had this awesome dub mix of this song called "Shoot Out!" Video is still insanely impactful!!!!! 💙

[@ericdelong4227]

Hell of a funk song to jam to, and a powerful anti-drug message to boot. 10/10!

[@stevengardner2118]

Empty my seas, lakes, rivers of fish to live longer life out of hell from floods growing!

[@PaoloVangi]

Musica anni 80 Forever 💕

[@oraths]

super!!!

[@riccardo4212]

Top!

[@halenbud]

Come lay your head down on the stone So cool and white and welcome home Oh Lose your troubles Ease your pain Soothe your soul in golden rain Blue marble seas - I will make you feel so good - roll over me Blue marble dreams - I like you always knew you would roll over me Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He's not one for sympathy Don't mess with Doctor Dream Don't mess with Doctor Dream He will bring you to your knees

[@ignaciotrias4528]

I taste drugs for first time with this song… nice “no drugs” song 😄😄😄

[@GuanoLad]

My favourite Thompson Twins song! Also it seems to me this song may have influenced INXS.

[@christineread849]

Fantastic scare you off song -I hope to god 🙏🏻

[@garyshadead1344]

this felt like an acid trip, ironic

[@evad520]

Watch their performance at Live Aid and look at Tom eyes. Lots of Acid going through that camp back then.

[@lisapezoldt5188]

Never heard this song before

[@RetroCaptain]

I heard it on the radio once or maybe twice. Otherwise only on (I forgot which album I think Here's To Future Days) which I bought back not long after it first came out)

[@DanielaSchwarz-we9bv]

I know this song since the 80s and I still love this song....I hearit after 40 years the second time...sorry for my english 😊

[@AntonioSedicina]

Choose life.

[@Lolabooboo]

My ex boyfriend did lines with them in the same year this song was released.

[@soniadimatteo7767]

❤

[@AlanKelso]

This was the answer to a pop quiz question today on the radio. Felt a bit sorry for the guy that didn't know it. It is awful.

[@michelelaraia7358]

I knew that instead!

[@losbreuos2523]

Absolut cool till in our unromantic times

[@briantzic4755]

Puppet react to thompson twins ( don't mess with doctor dream )

[@elcapitano1972]

…

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

This hasn’t aged well. Yikes.

[@alansmithee4895]

heroin song ?

[@NicolaGuaiti-vv9gk]

Togliete la pubblicità con quell'odiosa canzone...

[@liammullone9647]

This may be both musically and lyrically the worst song of the Eighties. Nothing about it works, from the meaningless image pastiche to the grunty scatting to the vacuous lyrics and the heavy-handed sermonising. The TTs had some real high spots, like You Take Me Up, but this is a downer, no don't-do-drugs pun intended.

[@loiteringwithintent461]

I love this song but funnily enough I do totally get what you're saying. It doesn't work- the video or the song. Russians by Sting was another one of those all-wrong type of songs. What I wanted to ask you is; what exactly do you mean when you refer to 'The meaningless image pastiche'? I would love for you to elaborate. Thanks alot I enjoyed your comment.
