  • can you make 300 more of these? how to make it in america!

  • I agree

  • what was the first video in mtv.. I think I know but now sure... Was it cartoon like???

  • @rustynails12345 I've heard somewhere that the first musicvideo in mtv was Buggles - Video killed the radio star, which, of course, somehow symbolized the entrance of MTV on the media scene.

  • @legaata You are correct. Ironically it was the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star".  Of course that was back in the day when MTV actually played music....

  • all of the ads kinda ruin the video watching experience. Busier that a Houston freeway.

  • fuck vevo.....

    

  • holy crap she could like be lady gaga's MOM!!!!

  • This song means we could die anytime so think about that

  • Is this Lady Gaga's mom? 

  • BOZZIO KING OF QUEENS ( including "what's her name")

  • I don't get the Lady Gaga comparisons at all. Dale was more interested in being a sex symbol than anything. She never dressed up as a man or wore a meat dress. Gaga takes it to a whole other level.

    But anyway, love this song-brings back great memories!

  • GTA VCS!!

  • she loves kitties

  • ..."The Charming Mary, from Canoga Park."

  • I met Warren Cucurillo after a Missing Persons concert in Berkeley in 1984 on my 20th bday. He was really cool about taking a picture with us and me in my nylon parachute pants :)

  • I remember rockin this cassette on my boombox downstairs at my parents playing colecovision on a saturday night when I was about 18. I always loved the way Missing Persons layered their keyboards. And is it me, or does Lady Gaga look like a Dale Bozzio clone? The children pickin from and awesome past. :)

  • Seems like Lady Gaga logged on 27 times...

  • Lad GAGA is a rip off of this woman. GO DALE!! Love her. A true original.

  • @dixiechickntx you are a rip off of everyone you have ever met.

  • Way before their time!! Awesome. Years before Lady Gaga!! Actual talent here. Much better singer than Lady Gaga. This girl is great!!

  • @TheTexasCatfish Not a gaga fan at all but you really cant deny she has a good voice.

  • the original lady gaga !

  • Thumbs up if GTA VCS brought you here :)

  • she is only a succes because to media wants you to believe it

  • gaga with class

  • honestly, 80's music kind of sucked (not this obviously) but between the hair bands and overkill on style and electronic shit and 'look at me i'm soloing for ten minutes on guitar' I am not a fan of 80's music. Strangely though a lot of the music I lsiten to has 80's influences, generally from the great 80's bands though like the cure, the smiths, pixies, REM, duran duran, rush, talking heads, etc.

  • @ChadBennett33 Don't deny devo

  • @ChadBennett33 examples?

  • @ChadBennett33 yes, the pixies were excellent but hardly anyone knew about them in '88. same goes for many European bands like the smiths and the cure who rarely broke American charts. rem and talking heads didn't get much airplay either (outside of college radio) until the mid to late 80s. my beef with 80s pop music is that many of the most sterile and over produced one hit wonders were pushed on teens while most the more enduring and influential bands were glossed over.

  • @ritter89

    Excellent point, but this has gone on for a hundred years, beginning with the Blues, through Miles Davis, lesser rock 'n roll acts, true punk, and now world music.

  • great band,i ish i would had a chance to see them live.

  • Well now we know where Lady Gaga stole all her ideas, from 1982!

  • It is great to see that I am not the only one who says, "Lady Gaga new? Dont be silly!" She is nothing but a retread of Missing Persons. However, she is not a good singer or anything. I remember the 80s and grew up then and we had it all. Not like the crap we got now.

  • @robertmark341 yeah, but lady gaga is musically capable whereas bozzio neither wrote songs nor played an instrument (i'm not a fan of gaga but she does know how to write a catchy pop melody and market herself to teens). most pop music fans are 10-15 yr old white middle class high school students. as a kid you saw the video and attributed the music to the most visible member, the lead vocalist. however, warren cuccarillo, the guitarist, wrote and produced most of this album

  • that's one beautiful sexy looking punk chick!!!!!!!!

  • Gta Vice City Stories :)

  • Dale Bozzio is the reason all of us gen-xers are supremely BORED with Lady GaGa and all the rest of the useless pop-crap they are throwing at us these days. We had the REAL DEAL. I also love how this video nails it for us people of a certain age -class of 83- when it comes to drugs. I look back and think "Wow, we were OUT OF CONTROL" and not always in a good way. Berlin and Eurythmics also ruined any pop poseurs for us. We were blessed with awesome pop talent. CHEERS ALL!!

  • She was ga ga before the lady.

  • 0:18 tottally looks like lady gaga

  • Holy Moly! I was trying to work out what that song was. This song means so much for me now. I remember when it came on at a Stevie Nicks concert and saw the band come onto the stage, followed by a sea of fans trying to get a spot at the front. This song now stands for rebel, and how I ditched my seat in Row W and made it straight to Row A, defying security!

  • @WhiteRabbitMatt11 Stevie and The Ledge brought me here as well :D That's such a wonderful story, I'm so glad you got to the front, what a great experience!

  • whats the girls name??

  • @appleaddict3303  Dale Bozzio

  • We'll never have an era like the 80's again. So glad to have lived through and was a part of it.

  • @MarkCollins20874 yeah...everybody was on cocaine :)

  • I was never a punker but this is incredible music. I call this one a perfect song. Thanks Terry Bozzio!

  • This song is my new drug. I am seriously addicted to it. WHY was I not this age in the early 80's?!?!?

  • 2:51 Check it! No PANTIES!!

  • Life is so strange .... :)

  • Gaga Looks SOOOOOO Much like the lead singer! WOWO!!!!!!!!!!!! I know Gaga has aped a lot from her, that's Gaga's Genius.... she's a Unique Perfect synthesis of so many diverse characters and influences... :-D God Bless Missing Persons for pushing the limits back then and Gaga for pushing them now! Perfect Symmetry one might say!

  • Shes better than Lady Gaga

  • F**k your stupid commercials! 

  • Yep...Gaga is no comparison...this was back in the day when performers had talent and actually broke new ground....everyone today is just copying someone from the past....and yes...BTW...Dale Bozio was hot-hot-hot....

  • Lady Gaga, heck no. Anyone else see Gwen Stefani? What a cool and underrated song from the 80's!

  • i dont HATE gaga but i hate that when she is "inspired" or copies, ahem, she doesnt give any credit to the right artists or put a bit of her own style in it. its just clear duplication. i swear her little haus of gaga just sits on youtube and finds things for her to copy. but shes smart because this generation has no clue to anything other than kesha and katy perry so they idolize gaga. i mean come on, she aint the first bitch to wear leather. and its not cruella deville hair its 80s NEW WAVE

  • She was So freekin HOT !

  • their best song IMO!!!

  • I was gonna say something witty about GAGA but I guess Im not the only one who see it LOL

  • Proof GAGA is a Reptilian!

  • GTA Vice City Stories brought me here

  • @stupididiot61 Same here; actually "GTA: Vice City Stories" brought me to The Motels, "Only The Lonely", then I spotted this band at the suggestion sidebar. No matter; both songs are on the Vice City Stories soundtrack!

  • killer base line...yessss

  • she's so hot in this vid yuummmmm

  • Lady Gaga blows....any questions?

  • thumbs up if gta brought you here

  • 1980.s in 2011 2012 2013 2014

  • There is such a difference between watching this in the laundrymat on my old Dell and cranking up the CD on my home stereo and crushing it. Big...big difference.

  • zwanguy2....you're not wrong, everything old is new again.

  • wow, looks like we found another person Lady Gaga ripped off....

  • @zwanguy2 Indeed.

  • TERRY YOU ROCKED my  world

  • dont even mention that so-called current artist.

  • Stevie Nicks used this as her into pump up song for her Summer tour. How cool is she!

  • Beethoven is a cheap Mozart/classical imitation.

  • @whoopdeedoo03 Beefoven was deaf and didn't have a song about licking ass.

  • @TheNintendoJuggalo That's true. Mozart was a very dirty man!

  • I agree with mrtech music today is terrible. The 80's style was the best for sureI worked at a radio station in jax fla 102.9 y103 and in the 80's we were the #1 station for 80's music. This song by missing persons what a great dance song.

  • anyone else notice Flea as the hat wearing crazy she gets handed off to?Talk about your LA connections!

  • Words is their other great song.

  • Lady goo goo doesnt hold a candle.

  • @bankexaminer56 WITH YA! bankexaminer56

  • I love both Gaga and Missing Persons. Could people PLEASE stop hating?

    This song is fucking awesome, btw.

  • Screw Lady Gaga. she's a rip off of Madonna and Cher. People should stop comparing her to the eccentric and talented lead singer from Missing Persons. 

  • I'm sure Lady Gaga didnt take ANY influence from Dale Bozio.........

  • @shadowmary1212 Just everything....lol....except the singing talent.

  • @orlandod71 eh well i'd throw in a ton of women from L.A.s old punk rock scene of 77' and i'd throw in the Go gos too since they started in 78 as a punk band.

    Terri nunn of berlin was fucking awesome too.

  • yeah GAG GAG is fucking joke who autotunes her shit live.

    80s NEW WAVE, SYNTH was fucking kill.

    case closed

  • everybody steals off of everybody else

    sorta sad

    someone will steal off of lady gaga

    sorta funny

  • did y'all know that this band was basically Frank zappa's old backing band, including Dale, her voice is throuout his old albums.

  • takes me right back to 1984...i miss the 80's

  • Dale was so ahead of her time.Like Debbie Harry, Grace Jones, Annie Lennox and countless others. Anyone who claims that Lady Gaga and Katy Perry are original, well check out Dale.

  • Thumbs up If your listening this in Gta vice city Stories

  • A piece of good advice: if you expand the video you won't see the unrequested Rihanna ad. Thank God!!

  • I have had a crush on Dale Bozzio for a couple of decades now. What is the penalty for stalking somebody ?

  • Dale and LG do look like sisters here. But this is just a stylized version of the punk/new wave style that had emerged in the 70s/early 80s. You had performers like Debbie Harry (who had already done multicolored hair) and Grace Jones and Wendy O. Williams (who was very extreme) before this and contemporaries like Cyndi Lauper and others. Everything builds upon itself. 

  • alot of 80s bands are missing persons thesse days lol they are not the only ones.

  • lets get something clear gaga has earned more money last year than dale has in her whole career, fact.

  • @thenutsisgood

    " Gaga "is more an identity thief than an erotic taboo breaker, a mainstream manufactured product who claims to be singing for the freaks, the rebellious and the dispossessed when she is none of those."

    -Camille Paglia.

    FACT.

  • @1Daliaz I never said she wasn't. What is exactly the point of your comment? It has nothing at all to do with mine.

  • @thenutsisgood

    calm down! we both stated an opinion. the point of my comment is...were all entitled to our opinions!

  • @1Daliaz I understand that. But your comment is completely irrelevant to mine.

  • Comparing Gaga to Dale only works with the face. Dale and the rest of Missing Persons were all excellent musicians and Gag is a pop music factory product, nothing else.

  • I sooo miss the 80s.... I couldn't get enough of her back in the day. Oh... and yes, she kicks some Gaga ars!!! You all are right about that.

  • I hate having to watch the stupid commercial for a song that's over 25 years old....and then,...the video doesn't play...

  • fuck you vevo... and your ads...

  • man ur right about that..i never thought about gaga copying her..good one

  • check the replicants' fantastic version watch?v=IMyXg8hYIo4

  • 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

  • Comparing Dale to Gaga is like comparing a gazelle to a warthog.

  • @lllottolll - Awsome comment

  • @lllottolll No kidding. Dale is a music whiz (I've spent time talking to her) and MIssing Persons was an amazing group of skill in the pop world.

  • stop comparing dale to bla bla. its an insult to compare the leader of a real band to someone who couldnt lead a horse to water.

  • Gaga looks like her at 1:20 for sure. Been a Missing Person fan for years. Love them both.

  • The Smashing Pumpkin's version is waaay better!

  • @leocuellar Not a chance, they didn't have a playmate for lead singer...

  • @leocuellar Not even close. Because you like the S.P. version better doesn't mean it can hold a candle to Warren's guitar, Terry's drumming, etc. Oh, yeah. I cover the tune.

  • Thump up if the 80's are better than Today's Crapped Rap

  • I loved the song! I don't care for the video - but that's okay b/c the lead singer's hair is fabulous! :-)

  • I just liked the music never even realized how hot she was. It's to bad they cold never reproduce the sound of the album spring session m. It's an all time classic album worth the deserted island list.

  • GaGa ain't got SHIT on Dale.

  • todays music is a joke next to this.i was in 9th grade when this came out.i wore my drakkar cologne and loved life

  • Ya know, there may be one saving grace about lady caca... if she actually gets more and more people to pay attention to what she's ripping off of, then that certainly isn't a bad thing.

  • Lady Gaga's Mother. 

  • Someone always has to start first, many Artists get inspired by others.Same as actors.If Lady GaGa were first then people would be saying the same about artists stealing from them,,,They are from different era's and they are both amazing in my eyes...who cares who came along first..Thank goodness for great music!!!!

  • Coast to Coast Am Bumper music :D :P

  • Me thinks Lady Gaga watched too many MP vids :o

  • I heard Naked & Famous singing Young Blood and it sounds so much like Missing Persons, I was shocked.

  • I relish the fact that this is my generation ... and other artists "adapt" their style ... the 80's had it ... :)

  • this song is great. isnt there a remix version with the same name but different lirycs?

  • Lady gaga borrows alittle bit from alot of different artists. Her music is completely different . Watch this and then watch bad romance. Its like this song on steroids.

  • love that bass line.

  • thumbs up if how to make it in america brought you here !!!!

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

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

  • DALE* Really was Special, Like no other. Life is so Strange, Destination Unknown when you don't know, your Destination -jzebraa 2011

  • 'Life is so strange...'

    They had some of the best lyrics...

  • Dale and Terry Bozio were GaGa trendy 30 years ago! They were great then and are still great now. Makes me proud to walk the streets of L.A. -- even though nobody walks in L.A.....

  • Love the 80's....This is the reason why i watch Edge of 17.....Love it..Got the soundtrack..EARGASM--big time

  • Classic KROQ!

  • Dale and Terry Bozio. What a duo. Love the 80's glam.

  • is it London the video location?

  • Its Lady Gaga!

  • @jtdavis598 STFU!!!!!!

  • No, please don't bring everything back from the 80s.

  • Im On An 80's High, Man Music Today Just SUCKS. They Play The Same Song Over And Over And It All Sounds All THe Same. BRING THE 80's Style BACK

  • @MrTech147 Lol, you say that like they DIDN'T play the same shit over and over and over and over and over again in the 80's.

  • @MrTech147 Couldn't have said it better myself! The 1980's FOREVER!

  • Nice!

  • The GOP plans to use this tune as the theme song for their 2012 election campaign.

  • @dodgyhingst In reference to Where Dumboama is taking the country.

  • @annoyingu4fun Look at the clowns and brain-dead barbies who are fighting for the GOP slot on the 2012 ballot. The dinosaurs are on their last leg. America was destroyed before Mr. O's first day of work. lil Georgie bankrupted the oil company he owned, bankrupted the Texas Rangers when he owned it.....and treated America no better. Obama is at least working at fixing things. Georgie never worried about it.

  • @dodgyhingst WTF barrack has double-downed on every mistake bush made. His idea of working is improving his golf game

  • Yea there is actually some REALLY good bands out right now that truly capture the magic of the 80's synth pop scene. Check out TESLA BOY, SALLY SHAPIRO, THE FILTHY DUKES, THE OUTRUNNERS, MIAMI HORROR (All of these guys are really creating a buzz with their "NEW" sound)

  • watchs

    watch?v=IasCZL072fQ

    gaga is new? LMAO

    LMAO LMAO LMAO .. can I laugh anymore .... yes..

    LMAO ... LMAO ...

  • the first.... even madonna stole from her.

  • 41 yrs old, New City & No job where everything is strange...I'm feelin' this song.

  • I like how "Lady" Gaga's face is right next to this video.

  • the verses are cool, i find the chorus a bit weak...

  • this is about the time that the straight-ahead performance music video died and the artsy, concept video was a necessary evil for success almost...i find it funny that Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody is considered a concept video when it was just a fancier performance video...

  • Gaga made $90 million last year. I think she owes Dale a check...

  • @sflachuck

    She owes part of that check not only to Dale Bozzio, but David Bowie, Grace Jones, of course Madonna, hell even Prince. Nothing original about her (Gaga) and this video from Missing Person is even more proof.

  • @MrJuly1990ish she also owes Queen something for giving her her name...

  • @annoyingu4fun

    Agree.

  • @sflachuck - She owes Lene Lovich a big check, I will tell you that...

  • @sflachuck I was watching this at amn outside table at my favorite coffee shop. some 20 plus chick looked over my shoulder and said..."She is imitating Lady Ga Ga" I tried to bite my tongue but couldn't. I finally said to her.... "Yes.. and she did it in 1983!" Dumb chick didn't get it. But then Gaga fans are not noted for their intelligence.

  • @sflachuck lol my girlfreind and i are sitting here saying the same thing lol...though id rather see lady gaga recycle this...than have to hear brittney spears crap...

  • @sflachuck And then some

  • @sflachuck I was thinking the same thing!

  • @sflachuck And Frank Zappa or Terry Bozio, they created this sound but not her look I guess.

  • @sflachuck A dollar just ain't what it used to be, $90 mill today is equaling to around $37 mill in 1982 when this song was released. I don't think Gaga has anything to brag about and Dale's been there and done that.

  • @anime262

    Did Dale make 37 million in 1982? I hope so.
