  • @MrChiliman2 amen

  • It's a shame to be bickering when discussing this song. Bottom line its one of the best songs of the 1980's, was huge in the dance clubs at that time.... and to this day Richard Butler and the Furs NEVER disappoint! Amazing band and music!!!

  • I thought this was a '90s song. I'd say they were ahead of their time, or maybe the '80s were better than I thought.

  • and tons of blow!

  • Vice city!!!!!!

  • Adam Sandler movie got me here

  • OMG I just saw them live in concert & they haven't changed or missed a beat! ;)

  • @007 fail troll

  • KROQ!!!!

  • @SunsetSideVet The rock of eighties. So Cal how I miss thee.

  • @Antiks72 Socal nothing like it, where do you live now?

  • @SunsetSideVet Near Sacramento ;(

  • @Antiks72 I used to live in Roseville I know the feeling you feel like a million miles from Socal.

    great song reminds me of driving on the 210 on a sunny day listening to KROQ!!

  • slayer rules...but i love the psychedelic furs...

  • *Though sorry bout that.

  • Even tho im 21 I was raised with 80's music and this has to be one of my favorite songs along with A Flock of Seagulls- And I ran.

  • @007cascader  Wanna leave politics out of this.....Redneck dumbass.

  • Wow, 1982? Amazing how times just keep on a rolling!

    Thanks for the memory.

  • A stroll down memory lane....miss those days.

  • The singer kind of looks like John Lydon.

  • @007cascader I fucking hate it when assholes like you use the word" faggots" to mean anything bad. Stop it!

  • reminds me of rockband,good times.

  • You know, English teachers are good for more than one thing. They seem to have great taste in music!

  • I remember blasting this on the radio with my mum when she was still alive, Oh how the miss the good old days -Rest with the angels mom:)

  • Another one of those 80's classics.

  • I want my MTV...........

  • holly crap I was 11 when i discovered this band.

  • I really love this song, and video a lot. My only complaint is that the lead singer seems to be doing his David Bowie impression throughout the entire video.

  • @TheWarlock03 i want to be mad about the bowie thing but you are listening...and by the way who influinced bowie

  • @TheWarlock03 Bowie's not a bad example. We're all influenced by somebody.

  • Respond to this video...  I always felt like Richard Butler was doing his own thing.

  • This song is one of the most beautiful yet haunting songs I've ever heard... it's like a crystal chandelier in a haunted mansion

  • Music like this translates so well to my generation. Im 19 and the music that is out now SUCKS!!! God I wish I had been a teenager in the 80's!

  • It's a new road

    I follow where

    My mind goes

    So swallow

    All your tears my love

    And put on

    Your new face

    You can never win or lose

    If you don't

    Run the race

  • 106.7 kroq rock of the 80!

  • i musta played the 45 hundreds of times, many of those times just over and over again! i was pretty much in love with the damn song!

  • I love this song!!!!

  • My lovely wife of 21 years just bought me tickets to the show at the Pageant in St. Louis on Sept 23rd, 2011. I have no idea what to expect. Has anyone seen them on this tour?

  • @zgiant1 sir there's plenty of footage on YouTube from 8/5/11.

  • I am responding to the amount of hate that is posted on these comments pages. I see a lot of Faggots as a term being used. What are you all doing watching them? If you're homophobic for some deep psychological reason, or on crack or just a useless member of society, and I see plenty of them. Hatred starts from within. There is a real good chance that everyone that uses the term faggots is dealing with their homoerotic desires.

  • love playing this on the piano. the chords are c major 7th, b major back and forth for the verses and c major and d major for the chorus.

  • Homophobic idiots label anything British as gay. These bands had more girls than they could handle. It was the 80's, when people were not as anal as they are today. The music was great and it's validated by young kids today who love music from that era.

  • @MrOhjok I couldnt agree with you more.Brits set the trend in the new wave 80's era.These were real artists,and great musical poets.Maybe ppl who hate this music are more fond of bobbing their heads up and down to the sound of bongo drums.To each their own i guess.

  • @MrOhjok You got that right. We don't have much music right now...just a bunch of noise. Most of the *kids* at work have iPods and cell phones loaded with 80's music.

  • @MrOhjok It's true man... these guys got all the women back then. Hell they probably still do.

  • @MrOhjok if you oppose incest does that make you incest phobic? or if you oppose polygamy does that make you polyligphobic?

  • @cacoca79 That's a question you'd have to ask yourself. Incest/Polygamy are lifestyles of sexual expression. Homophobic is a fear of being identified with the feminine, or gay. Which is what I implied. Your question is not in line with the intent of my statement, which several others here understand quite well. I think you need to re-think what your intent is and be more specific.

  • @MrOhjok ahhh so if one disagrees with with homosexuality what does that make them? The leftist psychopaths identify that as homophobic. Is homosexuality sexual exspression? Alot of the british trends from the 80s were men acting and dressing feminine, hence the name gay(but so were alot of the american acts, who started it 1st? IDK. So playing dumb doesnt doesnt hold any water. You know what they meant if the group you are refering to was actually labeling british trends.

  • @007cascader Oh, shit. I'm sorry man I took that in the completely wrong direction. I guess being a weed smoker has it's disadvantages. I apologize to you and all the people here I've offended.

  • awesome song. takes me back

  • @007cascader Watch what you say about the people who listen to these songs. I'm a 20 year old pothead and even I know you can learn a lot from people who are older. Besides, didn't your parents ever teach you to respect your elders? I'd love to beat you halfway to death then get high to all the 80's songs on youtube.

  • ~~THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK THE 80'S MUSIC TO US OLD TIMERS AS MIKE NESS SAYS..LOVE IT THAT YOU POSTED THIS VIDEO..HUGS LIKE ALL MY GOD..O{O

  • @007cascader haha

    

  • you can never win or lose if you don`t run the race

  • I always dug this song back in the day... always played at the clubs and was great fun to ask the chicks to dance.

    His vocal's always reminded of David Bowie on this particular tune.

  • I agree with the post on send me back to the big decade, life was great in the 80"s

  • Great tune. I do believe it made a minor cameo in the Wedding Singer as well? lol I dig it.

  • I was lucky to see this band on the Forever Now tour at C.W. Post college on a snowy, cold night. Not much of a crowd but the Furs played it like it was a full house in madison square gardens. They were so into it, the sky seemed the limit for this band. A few lineup changes and ten years later I saw them and it was such a downer. They all just stood there, so not into it, and Richard Butler seemed visibly bored.

  • @mistomen Saw them at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Billy Bragg was first up and the crowd here just didn't get it...Butler was always so flamboyant.

  • You can really pick up the Todd Rundgren influence that made this song a classic. The catchy little piano line. The double drums at the ending...Classic Todd!

  • Timeless.

  • Saw them live about a month ago. They played this song. It was fucking fantastic!

  • still one the very best vids ever from the birth of mtv era,Addddream

  • This is probably the coolest song of the 80s.

  • @bluexterra naw..... but its good tho... I would pic Spandau Ballet.... "true"

  • @bluexterra I'm assuming you weren't alive in the 80's. To say that "this is probably the coolest song of the 80s" is just completely wrong. I'm also assuming you haven't heard much of 80's music. I'm not taking anything away from the Psychedelic Furs at all, I love them and this song is god-awesome, but you are underestimating the large quantity of very very good music the 80s produced. You will find that it's impossible to say one single song "is the the coolest of the 80s."

  • @Suburbannite Easy there. I have tons and tons of music from the 80's and I was actually a DJ at a college radio station at the time, so I would guess my exposure to all the music during that timeframe dwarfs yours. I was hearing everything, including obscure things that you probably don't even know about. When I say the coolest I'm not saying the best, just IMHO it was laid back, hip and the music was intricate - therefore I think it is the coolest. Don't be so critical.

  • Yeah its kinda strange time flys, my friends and I were into sabbath and metal but when mtv came along songs that we might have not even listen to caught our ears and now this is our history

  • @tlg1100 i'm with you there. i was a freshman when this came out, digging maiden, and loving this track. loved everything from pink floyd to chuck berry and hendrix to slayer. as long as the tunes were cool, i was happy. always loved this track.

  • I loved this in Valley Girl, then I heard it in The Wedding Singer with How Soon is Now and almost died of fangirl love.

  • saw them last nite tanner park long island....great show his voice is still terrific....

  • Another amazing Todd Rundgren production, that's him on the marimbas! This song was one of the best of the 80's. I have this album on cassette tape and cd!

  • The 80s are not the best i honestly think it is the worst aside from a few bands like Squeeze. The Pixies, this band, Dinosaur Jr. and so on.The 60s are the best then early 70s are great. There are still bands today that are great. Like the Silversun Pickups.

  • @DamonAlbarnFan The music of the 60s was great. The 70's completely sucked (except for rock). There was a revolt against against the 70's all over the world. In So. Cal. it was called "the new music revolution". You can hear it also in the Jam's rejection of the punk ethos. In the early 80's we didn't want anything to do with the 70's music, attitude, conventions, or style. That's why they called us "Generation X". They couldn't figure us out.

  • @DamonAlbarnFan If for 80s bands, how about The Replacements

  • @jamaral81 They are pretty good also.

  • @jamaral81 the who??? what was their big song?

  • @seehound619, Well The Who were a good band too, j/k, The Replacements, they were a very critically acclaimed alternative rock band from the 80s, the were signed to a major label (Sire/Warner Bros)but couldn't generate much hits because the initial shunned MTV and were notorious for their drunk and sloppy concerts. Song wise, I would say "I Will Dare" was their most famous but their biggest hit would be "I'II Be You."

  • @jamaral81 lol.....thanks for the info....I,ll give them a listen....

  • @jamaral81 'Sorry Ma, I forgot to take out the trash' is one of my favorite albums'. We're taking a ride......

  • @seehound619 Obviously someone isn't a fan of C.S.I.

  • @aerohard FUCK NO.... like im gonna waste my life away sittting on my ass in front of a tv screen every night ...... no thanks... thats for losers.

  • @seehound619 Christ, I don't even watch the shows, but I do watch the opening credits because the they open with The WHO's "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O Riley"(The "teenage wasteland" song.)

  • @seehound619 so true!!!!!it is a waste of time...........so much better to reply to bullshit on you.tube thats for winners with tiger blood!!!!!

  • @Simon4642 cool story bro

  • meh.

    The 80's music is better. I'm 14 and I cant stand rap.

    Sounds all the same to me.

  • @JakTiamat you must be my true brother then :)

  • @JakTiamat Yeah, rap is in the word "cRAP"... I tell my buddies who love rap that, they get so annoyed, but they have a sense of humour about it because they know how many people agree hahahahaha... most the guys I know who like it have bad egos, they think this stuff is weird, but deep down they know it was real music because they know rap originated in the 80s

  • @weirdscience85 I love underground hip hop/rap and I also love depeche mode and a couple songs from The Psychedelic Furs . You're right though, rappers and rap fans we have shitty egos . I admit that. And lots of rap IS flat out BAD but I'd say the same thing about Country.

  • I was born in 82' ...wedding singer soundtrack is how I heard this song about 15 years ago. I love it.

  • @Godsownaddict Oh yeah they had a lot of good songs on that soundtrack, aswell as that GTA Vice City from 2002... I have lots of friends born in '82, that was the first year of Generation Y, the Generation before that (1964-1981) was the MTV Generation and "early Gen Y's"(born in the 80s) got to enjoy all the last of the same stuff the MTV Generation got to enjoy, which was the 80s/90s.. everything sucks today tho my god the shit kids grow up with, thank god for youtube, Im on here more than TV

  • 80's rule baby! Sweet music and great times. Class of 88.

  • Im seeing them on 8/5/11 at Tanner Park on Long Island, NY! FREE CONCERT!! Cant wait!

  • @kmj36 I was extremeley lucky to go see them. I have to say, their concert was FANTASTIC. They played this song, Heaven, Pretty in Pink, and a lot more of my favourites. This band will always be one on the top of my list. 

  • i removed my comments of 8 months ago but life is too short and i don't fuckin' care how sick my friendsare of hearing about this. My dear Sue,if you come across this,open your heart and mind.Remember how close we were.i will alway's love you.God bless you and Bella alway's.

  • What a time you could play in your yard ride your bike anywhere not worry about getting shot in school everyone tried to outdress each other not this crap today kids wearing there pants backwards cracks and boxers showing

    i miss good ol Chess King Im glad my kids love 80s music

  • after the success of the movie 'pretty in pink', using the furs' song of the same name as it's theme song, the furs became more commercial. it was the wrong move to make as they didnt last much longer after that. this song, however, was from the time before all of that.

  • one of the best songs of the 80's..it definately has it's roots with ROXY MUSIC/BRYAN FERRY..

  • One of the few songs of the 80's that still resounds in my mind and my memories.

  • I'm a Brit and back then some of the bands where referred to as the "New Romantics".

    They always sang about Love with and edge to it! Thank Rundgren for producing this!

  • I say the same thing....Please bring it all back.

  • I just freaked out when I saw this song is almost 30 years old. Damn it, I wasn't paying attention and I got old.

  • @rick44145 Welcome to the club. Getting old beats the alternative. But that's all it beats.

  • @rick44145 , no s#!t Rico. Korn remade this song. I'm a headbanger and was pissed. This song is my guilty pleasure. Noone believes that this is one of my alltime fave songs. This and Roxy Music Avalon, Slave to Love....call me a freak.

  • @rick44145 You're not getting older you're getting wiser. Right there witcha!! :o )

  • @rick44145 people look at me with strangeness because firs of all im mexican and second im 22, i dont know why but i love 80's ,simple and clean music with good taste....but yeah years go by!

  • New Wave Xylophone music. Can't get much better then that.

  • THE song of my youth and I still sing it. hecko.

  • I feel like playing Vice City now.

  • It must be mentioned that this record was produced by genius Todd Rundgren!

  • I remember MTV playing this three or four times a day.

  • @hamtrak Yea so do I. Back in the day when MTV was cool...nowadays MTV sucks!!!!

  • Great laser show at Canada's wonderland and some opening act guy jumped of a stack and wiped out playing guitar.

  • I remember growing up to this stuff!! I miss the 80's!!!!!

  • THE 80'S BEST DECADE EVER !!! NO QUESTION ABOUT IT !!! ... THE 80'S TOOK A LOT OF VIRGINITYS , INCLUDING MINE !!!

  • Did I just get up and dance my bootay off in my room??? HELL YEAH! AND I'm still good at it! :)

  • Lord Please, Send me Back to the 80', I'm dying in this era of 2011. God ,have a mercy of me, You have power to send me right now, Please Lord

  • Lord Please, Send me Back to the 80', I'm dying in this era of 2011. God ,have a mercy of me, You have power to send me right now, Please Lord

  • great song...brings back sexy times.

  • I love it!!!!!!!! One of my top favorite songs KROQ MUSIC FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

  • OMG the memories. I LOVE THIS SONG. Such an 80's child.... :)

  • Music for watching attractive girls walking the busy boulevards of the world or sipping coffee at sidewalk cafes. Incredible song. Beyond incredible band.

  • vice city anyone?

  • One of my fav songs, accompaning me these years.

  • 1982? What the hell? Am I that old?

  • Hats of to David Bowie. PF wouldn't be the same without him.

  • I <3 80s new wave, especially this song! Total Classic!!!

  • Yep. Love the Psychedelic Furs.

  • Going back to the 80's tonite. Psychedelic Furs in Niagara Falls - free concert! Love my way....oh yeah

  • @Casinogirl1987 Just saw them in the Falls. I forgot what a unique sound they have. Great show.

  • Lord Please, Send me Back to the 80',I'm dying in this era of 2011, please God,have mercy on me

  • @MrJimmypage32 agreed! i always tell my momma i was born in the wrong era:/ ohhh how i wish i could go back to the 80's.

  • @thunderlipssss i know wat u mean im 14 nd i feel like i was supposed 2 be a teen in the 80s life was so much easier nd the show freaks nd geeks shows it tooo

  • @MrJimmypage32 There's nothing more annoying to me than people bitching about today's music...This is a dope song....why can't you just leave it at that?

  • @MrJimmypage32 It doesnt work ...Ive already tried =(

  • Lord Please, Send me Back to the 80',I'm dying in this era of 2011, please God,have mercy on me

  • @MrJimmypage32 i'm feeling your pain. the 80s rocked.

  • The singing sucks! But the Bass guitar kicks ass!

  • @n2motocross The film and music sections of your bio suggest that you are all action, no reflection (Hendrix and Vaughan excepted). There is beauty to "Love My Way" that lies far beyond the "kickass bass". Your artistic tastes are shared by the masses so why bother voicing (or listing) them. You are not of the 80's nor any decade previous. You have nothing to say about the human condition. Richard Butler does. Stick to gliding on life's surfaces, preferably in silence. It suits you.

  • @hugosalarm Ok Mr. Philanthropist. Just what exactly is the 'human condition?' Educate me.

  • @n2motocross Yes, Mr. Eggnog. You seem to have a penchant for exactitude, the particulars disconnected from the whole. It's not the song that's relevant, it's the bass guitar, or the singer/ songwriter hasn't contributed to making this one of the best pop music tracks ever, he just sucks. Abandon your curiosity about the "human condition." The world (and living) have kept it a secret from you thus far and you seem to be doing just fine.Now get back to your cocktail and Dido's Greatest Hits.

  • @hugosalarm

    ..all that minutia just because a random poster, like myself, said, " The Bass kicks ass"??

    Your extremely over-analytical. People like you are miserable.

    But more importantly, I don't give a flying fuck what you think to be perfectly honest.

  • @n2motocross You have the full weight of our shared society's expanding stupidity and political correctness on your side and for that it is I who owe YOU an apology because YOU are a cloying cretin. My apologies. In return, you and your ilk can assuage my misery by according GREAT SONGS the respect that they deserve, meaning refraining from making any comment at all. On the positive side,your ability to give or withhold "flying fucks" IS a unique talent. I acknowledge it and respect it.

  • @hugosalarm my aren't you just a ray of sunshine, bet you are great at parties, did you just obtain a new thesaurus? It appears that you got what you were looking for, Troll. The asshole that you must obviously be, you come across like you are in bad need of an enema, really now, run along and flush out, see, you must feel better already. Just had to comment. I KNOW you will be watching this thread to see how much more crap you can stir up, cannot wait for your EDUCATED response...

  • @TheRealViktor68 Until a few minutes ago I thought there was no one more boorish than insurance salesmen but I was wrong. That distinction clearly belongs to proctologists with rote rage. I'm often the last to leave parties, even my own, and usually with vaguely melancholy feelings. Lucky you. Boorishness barely registers as an affliction compared to the socially maladjusted state many of us have to endure. A little compassion shown by positive people like yourself would be much appreciated.

  • I love this song, but, I have read the lyrics and i dont understand ? what is the meaning of it ?!

  • @Aeternuss he's trying to convince a girl/woman who's very cynical about love to give him a try, saying that it's better you venture the risk of a new relationship than sit on the sidelines... of course there was supposed to be some kind of a swipe at other bands from the early 80s who bought into the new romantic fad, but i've only read about that

  • @mikebott Thank you very much

  • Fortus with Thin Lizzy now,
