Clueless :D

Weird Science! I love this song!

[SuperJoeKewl]

[PhysStud2006]

Reminds me of my undergraduate college days...

[FH415]

These guys are playing for free in San Francisco next week!

[showingon]

@FH415 That was a great concert! Imagine an actual warm summer concert in SF! :-)

[JEF2293]

@FH415 I wish I was there, in 415. Love that city.

[workingman1963]

[Neuromancer0425]

BOUNCE WITH ME BOUNCE WITH ME

[alexhdezmejia]

80's RULE BITSHES

[HDangerism]

The 1st 5 notes give me the shivers!

[damien19735]

Such a great voice!!!

[fupedworld]

Good times. US Festival. Apple Computer. Tax Cuts. Self-Responsibility. How quickly that faded. Now Bubble years, including Apple stock.

[neonpassenger]

This definitely made my day!

[Applgrl91]

this makes me happy ^__^

[LalicaBRUS]

What a nice song! It brings sweet momories back.

...and the voice of these guys is absolutely amazing!

There is nothing like the 80's.

[pkmkid84]

You've certainly made my day! I was searching for this song for ages until I closely listened to it a couple years ago in Goodwill. Also, I'm a Millennial and heard it during my early childhood and early teenage years, and I finally got it. Music was actually good rather than stupid drugs, murder, money, sex, and plain sin. Thank you!

[DMurrayx2]

Okay, now I'm dating myself!!

[zoolugurl]

this song is the ultimate 80s song!!!

[thekillers1stfan]

this song sounds like it was heavily influenced by bowie

[stopspillinthebeans]

Glory Daze!

[THEFANLOVEKLAN]

How did you get it?

[palexisboyle]

Well, you made my day, so I hope you haven't gone to Hell yet. :)

[MattTG16]

Damn. it just sounds so much better in the girl talk song

[CyberSpectrumND]

@MattTG16

Yeah I came here because of Girl Talk. I'm disappointed.

[ReadingWeirdo]

@MattTG16

And this is what movies do to songs...corrupt people's minds, and people don't get to enjoy the original as it is.

[gesi1223]

@ReadingWeirdo Girl Talk isn't a movie, he's a musician. This is sampled in Girl Talk's All Day album. 

[ReadingWeirdo]

@gesi1223

Ah, okay that makes a difference.

[mooseasaurusrex]

Hell or make somebody's day. Hmmm, he muttered.

Well I'm grateful for you posting this. As far as eternal damnation and all that; well they only give us 500 letters to explain anything here. HA! :)

[DashGalaxie919]

I wish I could go back to the 80's the best decade ever

[TheGoodGuy31]

Can I get a what what?

[MrCbdsr]

weird science and clueless////////......awesome song,fun times

[MrChiliFarts]

I miss old MTV

[SuperDawg42]

Target commercial brought me here.

[babiikaixs]

i feel like everybody over the age 0f 23 had this song stuck in their heads at least once in their lives but cant remember who made it.

[montrealrider]

i want to be english

[montrealrider]

iqnt tobe english

[240ups]

I find the tune so light and exuberant, yet the lyrics are so discordent with such anxt. Yet it doesn't seem really that desperate a lovers situation. Funny and yet it works. Mostly because of how joyful in tone the song is despite the lovers trouble in the lyrics. I wonder if a song that effectively fun yet confusing could be marketed today.

[Thecircus1000]

Great song brought back alot of great memories...

[penquinftw]

Best sample on the new girl talk album.

[greenfish88]

the 80's were a great time for music! more diverse than any other decade, by far!

[Parkinish]

Great tune by Ranking Roger and Dave Wakeling. Unfortunately GP would break up 2 years after this single. In my opinion thier work as members of the less mainstream band 'The English Beat' was better.

[linda1975able]

props to target for reminding me this song rox! =)

[shoDOHC]

Weird Science all day. With the Porche and Ferrari jamming around with their ladies...you know what im talkin about..

[fuqPrada]

@shoDOHC ////i do/got me a carrera gt...woohoo!!

[shoDOHC]

@fuqPrada Nice, nice...im looking to some day have me a Real Sweet Cobra 2001, or 2004. Gotta do it!

[NiaraBayBee]

i love this song

[CANADIANtanman]

good tunes always, yeah 80's will always be good

[Valthegra]

[Bubulah4Ever]

[zaxas771]

[knight43]

ROFL! this song is great and all but looks like they both want to hold each others "tenderness". Where is it? PFFFT ROFL!

[ReadingWeirdo]

@knight43

LMAO!!! XD

Btw, this song pwns. <3

[kamote045]

yeah, i feel like im 16 years old again..

[rainheart0427]

@sexainess wooahhhhhh, You nailed it David Bowie- MODERN LOVE.... sooo love that song too. search! search! search. But I think each of them has its own style tho

[ThePackDogWalks]

This song plays at the end of one of my favourite movies 'Clueless', just watched it for the irst time in ages, always end up singing this for days!! :D

[mrsfreak2you]

clueless

[silversynth]

This embedding nonsense is getting just as annoying as WMG

[romanticwarrior97]

Damn good song. Damn good times.

[boar691]

@boar691 Hey cell phones and laptops rule. What's wrong with you.??

[QUIZFILTER]

@smokedogrp3007 Oh, by the way, i forgot to say thanks for posting this & keep up the awesome work!!!

[QUIZFILTER]

@smokedogrp3007 this is what we need!  Raw, original videos like this. Keep the 80s goin'!!!

[jeanmanuel77]

hello ..we`re general public..and his hair was normal until he started watching mtv.........oh i was a kid and i still remember this ...i used to watch mtv all day

[shellyshelly71]

@jeanmanuel77 So did I. I was in the 6th grade when we got MTV. It was school, band practice, homework and then MTV until my grandparents pulled me away. :-)

[doetim]

Just saw a short Target commercial with this song. There was actually another Target commercial that used another 80's song. Lately a lot of commercials from big retailers like Target and JC Penneys have been featuring classic 80's new wave tunes to market to the young customers. Makes sense cuz I think the early and mid 80's produced the best music for youth. They don't usually use 60's, 70's or 90's it's usually fun 80's tunes.

[PrincessChronicles]

The white guy is hot! Crazy sex appeal. Great soulful voice too. Kinda fly for a white guy. :)

[RomanySoup]

@PrincessChronicles Yes, Dave Wakeling was/is a handsome chap. At English Beat's live shows they bring girls onstage to dance. I made it up last time and got to meet him. Nice guy and really cool to the fans!

[PrincessChronicles]

@RomanySoup You are so lucky!

[Invesigator]

@PrincessChronicles Are you a pig? Check out the following video by copying and pasting the following in the Youtube search box: Puwy2ijQlVw

[SKOTP69]

@PrincessChronicles ...and why not?!

[MrSmellyfrogs]

@PrincessChronicles he's my music teacher u woud'nt be calling him fly if you saw him now lol

[kralbertson]

Cluelessssssssss I went to a showing of the movie at an amphitheater, it was awesome... People were dressed like Cher and everything! :D and yelling out lines.

[yurismir1]

This guy sings exactly like the singer from the English Beat? Is it the same guy?

[Tastefultaurus]

@yurismir1 yes

[yurismir1]

@Tastefultaurus Google rocks

[faithxvoid]

@yurismir1 both of them were in the English Beat

[oramikleepunk]

@yurismir1 I think both of these guys were in the English Beat band.

[bigphreaking]

@oramikleepunk They were in The Beat.

[brightnight609]

thanks for the vid.

[TheJenjen78]

Love this song

[Burritoskill]

Can't you just enjoy a song that you can dance with your kids to?!?

[ryanking23]

1:57 - Either he's getting goosed by the black guy, or he's REALLY SERIOUS about tenderness...

[Pookieluvie]

Clueless!

:]

[1whokncallthethunder]

don't worry. hell's not so bad. 

[dubdizz]

27 people accidentally clicked the wrong thumb.

[76BLADERUNNER]

Target Commercials,Clueless and Weird Science. thats all i gotta say. ^_^

[thecrowrains]

Wow...taking me back! Back in the day! Those were the days! Good times! Good times!....and no 'effin American Idol to bollocks up the whole music scene! Music was pure unlike today's rehashed, regurgitated scene.  80s were RAD!

[triky808]

I luv this song and video!

[TheJenjen78]

Weird Science and Clueless this song was used on both films always loved this song

[carmeloshea63]

Gary and Reno...ha ha!!!!

[80s4ever63]

Vintage 80's. I remember when this was first airing on American TV circa 1983 MTV. General Public was a part of the British New Wave invasion of the early 80's to include....Human League, Culture Club, Thompson Twins, Kajagoogoo, Modern English, Crowded House, Naked Eyes, and so many others the list goes on. Long live the 80's. Not to mention other forms of American pop and rock music like Madonna, Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, Van Halen........OMG

[xreddragonx]

@80s4ever63 Billy Idol is British, and can probably be included in your British Invasion list if anything. ;)

[level242]

Crowded House was Austrailian along with Olivia Newton-John,Midnight Oil,Big Pig,Men at Work,Pseudo Echo,Kylie Minogue and yes the 80's were awsome,funky fresh and totally tubular.

[ezcarlyle]

@level242 im not trying to be a dick, but crowded house is from new zealand

[SuperiorSwagon1]

@80s4ever63 Crowded house =)

[thekillers1stfan]

@80s4ever63 pssh pop music in the 80s was worse than it is now

[liljuve13]

@80s4ever63 The Smiths?

[RockhopperCA]

You might want to listen to a GP song called In Conversation, Was always one of my favorites of theirs.

[delorme9]

This song brings you back to a simpler time,,,,, ahhhh the 80's

[o2bapirate]

You made my day. :)

[ELLOCUTORPR]

80'S NEVER DIED

[poelyman]

Day has been made!Thanks

[capostatus937]

i've liked this song ever since I heard it at the end of Clueless

[ashleyv216]

i love this song!!!!!!

[babybooo2]

The build up from 2:15 is probably the greatest build up ever. It's incredible

[carlenefu]

cute song :) love the deep voice

[TheUltramagnus1]

[scottie2hotttie]

@TheUltramagnus1 They play videos? When did that start?!? Wow what a concept!

[dstacks47]

this song is like wired in my head now

[Poptartsgonewild]

what ever happened to music like this? it makes me sad when i hear soulja boy's name not many people listen to music with meaning anymore =/ oh well

[aimsren]

love this song, i used to watch the last scene of clueless over and over just so i cud hear the song ♥

[edwdixon5]

Made my day. One of those songs I never heard on the radio and only saw the video maybe a half-a-dozen times, but always liked a lot. Good for you.

[Kell1295]

This is so nice to listen to.

[Toysoldier22613]

Made my day. Vielen dank!!!

[trr12]

I was 14 when it came out......good memories indeed!

[templedancer]

It was a joke and people are weird....but you made my day, personally. Thanks.

[Socrtease]

This is one of the top 100 one hit wonders on VH1. I remember listening to this song alot when it first came out. General Public, OMD, The English Beat and Psychedelic Furs were all the soundtract to my teen and early twenty years.

[crackawacka1]

It's time to come out - admit you like it - Sturdy

[HockeyFanster13]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[ngarrido1]

great song, makes me hate the times i live in now bc no one my age likes this kinda stuff..anyway, i was always under the impression that this was the english beat

oh well

[HockeyFanster13]

@ngarrido1 how old are you?

[ngarrido1]

@HockeyFanster13 17

[johntvette]

Wow....What a guilty pleasure this song is.

Pato and Roger another great combination!!!

Miss the 80s so much

[zenileon]

Yeah! I've got the twelve inch to this day. It is in pale blue, with a sort of close up of a face in a box, or something...........

[lonelylola452]

I remember this song from clueless and weird science :)

[37NAU]

Isn't the blonde guy one of the killers from Die Hard?

[Wildcardbitches1]

[godlywisdom]

You made my day!!

[Sickcyber66]

[thislovejode]

GOOD TIMES

[cuteblackchick1]

This song is so classic:D I hope they put it in this generation's Clueless so the newest generation gets exposed to this catchy classic the way I was

[gavin5765]

well, you made my day. jeez i miss those songs when they dont just shout the lyrics and chords in your ears.

[gretscher]

Good point.  I do agree.

[KolyaKrasotkin]

One of THE best songs ever! Innocent, feel-good 80s music . . . just getting along and having fun.

[BUNNYBOILER143]

Made my day! <3

[Mr1martin3]

smokedogrp. you made my day thanks

[Lockore]

Kindly put me in the "Made my day" category. :)

[marieandchach]

peace, love and unity.

[rockinkitten]

Sure made my day!

I <3 Roger!

[eurobaby460]

I'm a Christian but I have no idea why a religious debate is going on during an 80's video w/ two really cute guys singing! Enjoy and relax :-)

[irishimp2]

eurobaby460: I couldn't agree more! It is music, nothing more. A persons actions are based upon his/her morality and not the lyrics of a song. I have always liked the beat and lyrics to this tune! That's the one nice thing about the music of the '80s is it was up-beat and got you dancing!!!!!

[shimeonmorpheus]

@eurobaby460 but there is only 1 white guy

[carlenefu]

@eurobaby460 the blondie is cute lol

[xreddragonx]

@eurobaby460 Because some people are really REALLY fucking screwed up and self-righteous, and included among those are people are yes, Atheists.

[11xzxzxz]

@xreddragonx I am not self-righteous, not as much as you anyway, and I just spread the truth as Jesus was supposed (he just spread the Word) to do and failed miserably as any man could living 1900 years before germ theory. If you include Atheist, secular Humanists and Agnostics we are have of the Christian number and growing. Also Muslim are ever growing faster the Christianity. That is a bigger danger.

[11xzxzxz]

@xreddragonx A lot of people say bad things about you on your site. I am saying the truth and if you want to debate (OK you can get help from your concentration) do it civilly and with logic. Check out your facts. Good luck to you.

[doetim]

@xreddragonx Atheists can't be bigots because they have a really STRONG case!

[11xzxzxz]

And then we come across another of teachings on morality: if a man discovers on his wedding night that his bride is not a virgin, he must stone her to death on her father doorstep (Deuteronomy 22:13-21). [2]

[11xzxzxz]

And Jesus' greatest sin: Condemning moral people who don't believe in him to eternal hell. This is found in the New Testament three times. Believe me, I haven't even gone into the real horrors and murky moral and bad dogma of the "good book"

[11xzxzxz]

Only 37% would not vote for Muslims and this study was done after 9/11.

Here are some crime stats: 75% of the prisoners in US jails are thought to be believers and only .02% identify themselves as Agnostics or Atheists. (Actually non-believers commit most of the crime and devilishly pass it off onto religious people - ha).

[11xzxzxz]

All scientific polls or studies (mostly suppressed - just try to find some on the web, anyway) show how that non-believers are as moral, if not more moral, than believers (the most recent large study showed Atheists are more moral but that is just one study). If anyone can find me a good study were Atheists, Agnostics or Secular Humanists are less moral than believers, let me know. I have yet to find one study and yet 52% of the electorate will not vote for an Atheist as US president.

[real80smusic]

dude i am the 80s

[intrntnalman23]

the 80's one of the best era for music all feel good music

[prince1280]

The 80s represent that warm and fuzzy feeling of all the possibilities of a promising future because most of us were in junior high or high school. That's why songs like this and others remain so special.

[eurobaby460]

@prince1280 You couldn't have put it more perfectly! Thx

[11xzxzxz]

And if animals are moral in terms of cooperation or feeling others' pain and it doesn't come from their knowledge of god or respecting or fearing god then this is an essential point. Anyone can disagree with this but just be clear and rational in explaining how I am wrong. And if I am wrong, it may just be to some degree... All scientific polls or studies (mostly suppressed - just try to find some on the web, anyway) show how that non-believers are as moral, if not more moral, than believers

[jetershomie]

hush you trying to listen to The Pub.

[xreddragonx]

@11xzxzxz Way to go you shit-stirring, self-righteous, fuckwit. As if any of this was even remotely called for in the comment section of a light-hearted pop video. Even if your urge to intellectually self-masturbate was SO dire, there were plenty of other places you could have polluted instead.

[11xzxzxz]

Most people don't seem to understand that it is better and more moral to do good for mankind, animals or yourself without expectation of heaven or avoidance of hell. If a believer does good how do we know if it is not just not increase chances of getting into heaven ? Many studies show that even primates and other animals are moral and they may not have the ability to appreciate god in the sense that mankind does.

[11xzxzxz]

Non-believers raised by a caring families just feel good from doing a good act or cooperation with others or not liking to see others in pain because that is how they evolve - just as most believers. There is no anticipation of a huge reward as believers often think they have. Of course many believers do good out of the same motivations as non-believers .. I don't think most believers are normally thinking about rewards of Christianity and Islam.

[11xzxzxz]

Tenderness where has it gone? Very few people realize that Atheist's good deeds are inherently more moral than fanatical Christians, or perhaps all Christians, when performing the same good deeds because there is no heavenly reward or punishment awaiting Atheists 4 their good acts. Motivation is essential to deeming good works "good" or not. Believers & non-believers inherit good genes as do most people from their parents. These good genes R naturally endowed & increase greatly with mammals.

[dbreidenbach]

@11xzxzxz

You are truly nuts. You cannot have moral deeds without God, which is why you're trying to reason morality away.

Nice try, but it doesn't cut it for those of us who know the truth.

Tenderness went away when the atheist nutjobs tried to reason away true love. The ultimate sacrifice of love came from Him, which you obviously have rejected. Pity, because He is still there waiting for you to come back to Him.

[11xzxzxz]

@dbreidenbach YOU HAVE NO UNDERSTAND OF COMPLEX LOGIC. ok? PLEASE LET'S NOT WRITE .. VERY few Christians can maintain the same level of logic that they have for everything else but Religion. I would not ever want to be friends with the monster God who has no morality or just bad morality in the BIBle. YOU will never get it .. I know no one changes their mind so lets not write. You called me nuts and I just called you illogical .. YOU WIN. Great song ..
