  • now we have re-makes of the re-makes that have samples and ect ect ,just shows how talentless they are today .

  • Could the audience have been more spastic "dancing" to Slade????????

  • @ladycplum i take it your only 15 years oldthen with a comment like that,it was called the 70s

  • @ladycplum 34, thank you, and I don't quite think everyone in the 70's danced like they had ataxia.

  • Good editing job, you didn't just use windows movie maker and hope for the best like a lot of people.

  • I think out of all of the covers, only the UB40 version surpasses the original, imo, I mean, it's even got "The Clapping Song" in there!

  • You did a great job with the editing. There were a couple that I knew of the original, some of them were like DUH!, but some of them were a surprise! Thanks!

  • You did a great job with the editing. There were a couple that I knew of the original, but most of them were a surprise! Thanks!

  • ewww ugly mick hucknall

  • the 80s did it so much better!!

  • Most of these were easy, but the Quiet Riot cover blew my mind!

  • t rex <3

  • Pretty Woman with Van Halen? :) LoL.. Didn't even know they covered that song.. Orbison all the way!

  • This vid should have been called "60s hits that had 80s covers". :)

  • Man as much as I love the 80's, alot of the originals kicked the newer version's ass!

  • Really enjoyed the mix/editing - some hard work here. Thanks

  • God Joan Jett was hott...too bad shes gay!

  • @CJShameless Yes she was!

  • Los Lobos La Bamba originally from Ritchie Valens 

  • I was so sure that 'tainted love' by Soft Cell would be in there. Still, it was excellent video and I loved the way you merged the two versions together.

  • I prefer the original Pretty Woman and never heard any Supremes' remakes before. I didn't know Venus was a cover, but I prefer it. As far as CA girls, goes, it like both quite equally.

  • The issue here is that most of us born in the 60s or early 70s were raised on the originals...thats why we can talk shit to the youngsters today. None of us from the 80s would ever argue with our parents about the beach boys, diana ross or any of that talent. But the kids today have no clue. They dont know who the hell Hall or Oates is...they are clueless....thanks for the post and youtube did it again!!!

  • Im 13 and Hall and Oates is one of my favorite things in the world. She's Gone, Method of Modern Love, One on One, Every time You Go Away all changed my life. But I agree almost everyone in my generation is a bunch of A-Holes. I like Hall and Oates more than my mom!! I even had the pleasure of meeting John Oates!

  • I thoroughly enjoyed your compilation! Thanks for your hard work!!

  • And what's so funny is that has continued on the future generations and like us, if they're naive to the origin of any of these pieces of music, they're thinking that they're hearing this for the first time too. And a good part of the time we'll indicate that the remakes sound much better than the originals.

  • this is gold however there are only 3 bands of all time. The beatles midnight oil and bon jovi. FACT!!!!

  • There is no "e" at the end of Garfunkel...

  • Very good job, congratulations!!! Allow me to give three recomendations about remakes, what about spirit in the sky? Another remake, always something there to remind me and finally, dream a little dream, anyway your compilations are very nice!!!!!

  • This is an Exceptional Compilation. You did Quite a Good Job on this.

  • LOL is that Will Ferrell playing keyboards for Roy Orbison? ;)

  • It's about time someone did this compilation. This decade was loaded with remakes! The 80s were great times for music nevertheless.

  • Well thank you! It's about time someone did this, since I heard most of the originals first (no I'm not a dinosaur-from my Mom's music!) but I was surprised you didn't have "I Think We're Alone Now" or "Just a Gigolo" but either way this was very entertaining!!

  • people release others songs, quick buck, lack of talent. good video

  • Whats the song at 7:40 by laura branigan called??

  • @69ALXX Gloria

  • Man I heard Gloria and that just took me back to when I was a little kid and I was at a store buying my first He Man lol. Guess that song was playing over the speakers or something. Weird.

  • most of the orginal songs are much better than the remakes, i guess it's a tribute to the artist in the remarker's eyes

  • wow!!!!

  • Missed GnR's Knockin On Heaven's Door.

  • Sweet video thanks

  • Pointer Sister`s "Slow Hand."

    Paul Young`s "Every Time You Go Away."

  • Phil Collins`s "Groovy Kind Of Love."

    UB40 and Chrissy Hynde`s "I Got You Babe."

    Bow Wow Wow`s "I Want Candy."

    Wall of Voodoo`s "Do it Again."

    Corey Hart`s "Can`t Help Falling in Love With You."

    Van Halen`s "Dancing in The Street."

    Wham`s "Where Did Your Heart Go?"

  • You forgot to add, Tiffany's I think were alone now, I saw him standing there. Robert Plant The sea Of Love.

  • One you need to add to your video is "Always Something There To Remind Me" by Naked Eyes was a remake.

  • Dude, half of these songs I didn't even know were covers. lol. Wow.

  • never mind LOL

    greetings from holland

  • Excelent job my friend.

  • Nice compilation.

  • Wow, nice editing of the songs here.

  • Bangles!

  • Paul Simon's way better.

  • HALL AND OATES!!!!!

  • it looks like the girl in the slade part of the video is in serious pain trying to learn the fhat fancy dance shes doing.

  • Is it song then remake or remake then song

  • Is it me, or are the two girls in the Slade video doing the "Elaine" dance from Seinfeld?

  • LOL! so true :P

  • roy orbison song pretty woman way better

  • Comment removed

  • it was actually done by "cheap trick" Bobby brown's ":don't be cruel is not the same, it's completely different.

  • if you could put the titles it would be better man

  • Another job well done, meliberty

    Thank you this and the rest of your tributes!!!

  • Great video. In my opinion, the 80's artists covers of the old songs are better than the original. Burt when today's artists are making covers of 80's songs it's really bad, and the original is better.

  • Thought the originals were better too,maybe with the exception of UB40.

  • Great List! Most  Are as good or Better than the orginal

  • some were good ,some bad but UB40 really murdered a great Neil Diamond song!

  • ur an idiot, UB40's version became #1 worldwide not once but twice!

  • so did Brittney Spears fucking moron

  • mate, do ur parents a favour and go hang urself idiot! fucking moron... u fucken jew lovers damn anything thats not circumcised!??

    wanker!

  • Wow, there were a lot of remakes back then. Many of them are better than the original versions (that last one, "Red Red Wine", for ex.).

    I can't really say the same for most 90s or current day covers. Most of the ones I've heard (esp. any by Jessica Simpson *cough*) are pure shite.

  • Sweet!!!! 5*

  • great video 5 stars

  • very cool editing

  • Long Live 80's and anything is old school.

  • great concept great job

  • nice compilation and with the originals also included...

    gr8 stuff!!

  • Great!!!! Excellent work, thanks for posting.....

  • Michael Damien?!?! On what planet did he believe he could sing? He wasn't even a good actor!

  • who originally made pink cattalac

  • I think Bruce Springsteen did it first, and then Natalie Cole.

    And if you do another compilation, that song, along with I Think We're Alone Now and I Saw Him (Her) Standing There, should be included.

  • Right on!
