When this song was newly released, they used to play this video on MTV all the time. This was a time when MTV played music videos. I was 14 and this was my introduction to Tom Petty. I thought this song (and video) were just about the coolest thing ever. Now I'm seeing it again for the first time in over a quarter century. I think it's pretty much the coolest thing ever.

[@TheVinylLoungeMtl]

This video was amazing…

[@adash66]

1st video I saw in MTV still one of the best!

[@pattystomper1]

In 1982, when this music video was released, there was a lot of focus on "Time Capsules" - Leaving a legacy of modern technology for future genreations to uncover. We were so proud of our accomplishments in computing, as depicted in video games, that it was heartbreaking when Tom of the future didn't care, and pushed the video game over, twirling his gun victoriously. That was a powerful lesson. No matter what you accomplish, there going to be a future generation who just doesn't give a damn.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

[@kellyparkergiarratano1721]

Reckon his message may have been that video games were rotting the brains of youth? Maybe he preferred to have them pick up instruments to play music? They take the guitar with them when they leave.

[@TheVinylLoungeMtl]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@edbeaty]

I think the story of the video was that an unseen alien threat has devastated the earth, leaving a handful of survivors left to fight them. That's why Tom gave that pained squint at the video of aliens attacking buildings in LA at 2:37, and why he took his symbolic revenge on the space invaders by toppling the video game at the end.

I was 11 years old when I first saw this music video on MTV, in the very early days of the station. Your household needed one of those huge metal satellite dishes to receive the channel, and we were lucky enough to have one. (My dad worked in television). "You Got Lucky" has remained one of my all time favorite videos all through the decades. The cyberpunk aesthetic & dystopian setting - combined with arcade games and incredible rock music - was like a perfect intersection of all my favorite preteen things. On July 15, 2017 I was lucky to see the legend Tom Petty perform in Toronto, Canada. Rest easy, MadDog, and Long Live Rock & Roll.

[@barryalkire9648]

I will never forget rushing home from school so my sister and I could watch MTV. I was in 6th grade and she was a freshman. Back in those days we only had 1 TV a big console in the living room. MY dad worked the 3 to 11 shift. SO mom would let us watch TV for 1 hour before doing homework. This video is one of the first I remember. That was so cool and life was much more simple then. This video and John Couger Jack@Diane, and oh Mickey your so fine, and Michael Jackson BEET IT was some of the first videos. WHAT a great time to be young. The 80s were a great decade to be young. I really miss that time of my life. AND MTV was awesome when they showed videos all the time. And even better the late 80s we would all get drunk and smoke weed and go to my buddies house on Saturday night just to watch HEAD BANGERS BALL. YOU would see all the new videos of hard rock. That decade was the best time to be young. Sex-drugs@Rock-n-ROLL.!!!!!---MTV WAS THE 80S. RIP MTV 80S STYLE!!!!

Sadly I dont think our children will be able to say the same thing ...I mean every generation looks back on the years they grew up in with fond and nostalgic memories but I really don't think our kids will be able to look back on their formative years and really be able to say ...That they too grew up in a great era... Everything you said I and a whole generation of kids can most definitely relate to...The 2 vids I would wait to see is Van Halen's Unchained and So this is love ..Those 2 live concert vids really captured what a concert looked ,sounded and SMELLED like ...LOLOL....Hey Barry I have talked to many people who can relate to your comment cause they too also lived it and I always ask them , what part of the country were you from...So Im thinking the same thing about you and your sis ...So East Coast , West, Middle of the country ???.... Where did you guys grow up Brother???... Take Care My Friend

I still remember when VH1 had this big event when they played every single music video in their archive existence my dad went out and bought a stack of nice expensive vhs tapes to record them all, took an entire week for vh1 to play them all 0-Z and my dad had everyone in the family on a crazy recording schedule for the whole week with no playing my new super Nintendo on the one wooden TV in the house!!

The visuals of this video are permanently ingrained in my head. I was a kid in elementary school when this was on heavy rotation on MTV and the scenes from this video always play in my head when I hear this song.

The Mtv premiere of this song in the 80's clearly etched in my memory. ❤ you got luckey babe, you got luckey, when I found You!

RIP Tom Petty, thank you for all the great songs and special thank you for this song! Loved the song first time I heard it in 1982!! Coolest lyrics: "You got lucky babe, when I found you!" Still gives me chills! Awesome, awesome, Ok so I just found out Tom Petty is alive and fighting to stay with us!!! Please Dear God, give him strength!! Prayers to you Tom! 😙

Tom tumped over the video game and left the jam box on the ground. He wasn't stuck on nothing. His life was his next move Survival.

[@jameshudson105]

WOW how great was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ? ... unbelievable..so many Hits...I was a teen in the 80s and got blasted away by the metal sound of other bands, but only later on did I realize how great they were.... only wish I could go Back to the 80's...RIP Tom.

Everyone will be taking about "American Girl" today but this is the most epic Petty song.

I dedicated this song to my girlfriend. And yes one of my favorite Tom Petty songs along with into the great wide open

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

It’s up there...but not his best...Tom wasn’t a big fan of it....he aged the synth sound....wach the behind the scenes of this video...he says “good, now we can get back to making real rock n roll, enough of this synth bullshit”. The MUDCRUTCH stuff is my personal favorite....SCARE EASY...I SHOULDVE KNOWN IT

So many great hits Tom had. What a shock to learn he had died of an OD and was only 66 years old. He really helped define the 70s/80s with those songs. I remember seeing this on MTV all the time. What a wonderful era that was. God bless Tom Petty.

[@bassinbillRC5300]

He had a hairline fracture in his hip that he did not take time out to take care of it. So....he tried in vain to cover up the pain of this injury with pain pills. Hence the over dose. Sad thing to happen. so many rockers have succumbed to Drug OD's.

[@ninapannell2122]

Yes, not like people would think, OD.

[@ninapannell2122]

Didn't die of an OD like he meant to get hi. Pain is what brought his death and the Drs who handed out these drugs to anyone who had pain.

*_I can still think back to 1982 when I saw this video on MTV. They played it every hour on the hour. It was pretty much programmed into my brain . My friend that lived next door actually looked almost exactly like Tom and even his mom used to joke around that if he didn't quit goofing around all the time she was going to send him to Tom Petty with a note saying "This is your child, good luck._*
