[@josehuizar9272]

This was produced by the great Giorgio Moroder, who also produced Donna Summer.

[@tomatosausage4258]

Ja dat hoor je meteen he. Ik wist niet dat ie van de three degrees was. Ik heb m door toppop herontdekt. Nu zit ie meteen tussen mn favorieten op spotify! Hun leukste nummer wat mij betreft

[@powerkingsmusic]

I am sorry but this song will around for generations to come . Nothing but a classic

[@starkillerab1582]

So that must mean that this song is obviously Disco

[@j.maxell3030]

​​@@starkillerab1582 Si...este tema está bajo las producciones Disco (Funk / Soul) de Giorgio Moroder. En paralelo Moroder (1978 despues de iniciar las matrices del EDM Concreto en 1977 con su segundo álbum electrónico From Here To Eternity y otros temas en electrónica con la voz de Donna Summer en temas como Working To The Midnight Shift, Now I Need You, Queen For A Day y I Feel Love) continuaba desarrollando y revolucionando la Música Electrónica con su modelo inicial EDM (HI-NRG y Synthpop) en temas para Chris Bennett (Burning The Midnight Oil), Munich Machine (In Love With Love, It's For You, La Nuit Blanche), su famoso Chase que le valió su primer Oscar...entre otras producciones. My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me...the father, founder and pionner of EDM / The Sound Of The Future.

[@TheWildeOne81]

How many times have I felt down inside The need to be loved by you I wanted to show you how good it could be If you would only show a little interest in me Let you run, you just won't show love That's the thing you're frightened of Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh You came into my life and turned my head around And just as quickly you put me down Now you don't won't to know what i'm going through 'Cause just like I said, it means nothing to you So you run, you just won't show love That's the thing you're frightened of Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh I've got this need eating away at my soul An insurmountable need that I just can't control You created this fire, when the flame got too hot You turned and walked away, just leaving me on the spot Yes you run, you just won't show love That's the thing you're frightened of Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh There's little hope but the fool that i am Still holding on to this dream of a man The taste of his skin, the gentle touch of his hand Is worth waiting for, so i must understand Yes you run, you just won't show love That's the thing you're frightened of Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh He's a runner, he's a runner Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh [Fade]

Toppop used to be a ‘Top 30’. In this clip it says ‘45’. I think this is the videoclip of ‘TROS Top 50’. But nevertheless: nice one👍

[@toppop]

Ha Ruud, staat in de tekst boven, komt uit de TROS Top50, gr. Toppop

[@RuudMixer]

@@toppop dat had ik niet gezien. maar vooral het gebruikte lettertype deed mij direct aan de TROS Top 50 denken. Dank voor de reactie!

[@mdftrasher]

lol. Ik stonk er ook in ;-)

[@RuudMixer]

It seems they cut the video at 3.22 -:(

[@AshleyScottMusic]

Ruud Mixer they totally cut it

[@darrinhauxwell5315]

It's been re-edited for the TV broadcast.

[@salman-804]

This song was COPIED and reproduced by Indian music director "Bappi Lahiri" with song title "Inteha Ho Gai" in Bollywood movie "Sharaabi" released in year 1984. Music director earned a lot of fame and money with re-production but never gave any credit to it's original artist "The Three Degrees" who really deserves. (source: copycatlistcom)

[@kasminfernandes4198]

Bappi Lahiri copied this song and made Intehaan ho gayi for the movie Sharaabi

[@Eternyl_bliss-nj9se]

thoiught they were going to break something flailing their arms so much - they were so skinny

[@vishalsaxena1924]

BOLLYWOOD COPIED THIS TUNE IN ONE OF THE SONGS IN 1984 MOVIE SHARABI.

[@SURRIE27]

I think the sfx was to much. They all jump out of there skin.

[@huskaroar6869]

Do they know they've been plagiarised by a bollywood music music producer

[@bhuvnlmathurr1133]

Happily copied in bollywood 😊
