[timeeagle77]

Geiler Song aus Kim`s anfängen ;-)))

Was wären die 80er OHNE Kim Wilde!??

DA würde doch echt was fehlen!!!;-))

ODER!?

Danke für den klasse Titel!!

[Feisty1967]

Not a patch on Kids in America and Chequered Love, still quite good though...

[AkitoMilena]

OMG i was 4 years old, and the songs from her were my fav! i remembered the hole melody... :)

[barrywroteit]

I wore this cassette out about four or five times. I need to see if I can find it on CD somewhere. This was my favorite song on the tape.

[AlexandraGirlPink]

My mum told me that Kim was her favourite singer when she was teenager =D She is beautiful and she has great pop songs :)

[brigham600]

Brought back some happy memories of my 21st Birthday in 1981 - great track from yesteryear.

[catgirlKL]

I was 15 when this was out too and I was in her fan club. It is about a condition called titinus where the sufferer hears sounds in their head like the sound of water on glass.

[VONCEIL1]

james stevensen on guitar

chelsea,gene loves jezabel,gen x

great musician

[Innersymbiance]

I still am transfixed, long term Fan club member, her fan club back then

Was really good, and personal letters and words were always

received from her and Angie, Classic Kim right here, still a great song and

Even better Video, she was so beautiful back then and even more

so now, still England's only Real Rose.. She was such a part of my

Youth, and the 80's .. always a fan

I still have all her Vinyl's too :)

[smithypeart]

@Innersymbiance bless you and admire you for still having all them records

[LutherStarling]

I was eighteen when this was in the charts. Now forty-seven. Often wondered what this song was about....?

[54spiritedwill54]

awesome song indeed!

[someblokecalledchris]

sheer classic...nice one kim...merry xmas.

[gentschman12]

die Kim Wile ist eine süsse

[shaneezzz]

i love kim but i dont think she would win x factor on this.....kim im still a fan tho

[rscosworthfan]

shane this is a lot older record than they sing on x factor these days remember this was in the charts when lobo was having hits and the specials with ghost town when tony blackburn was doing the charts...lol

[slayzerus]

This one rocks my world !!!

:D

[2012wyvern]

Missing bass player?

[rudycolas]

Super ce morceau,je le connais par coeur.

[yokolatte]

Great song. Didn't realise it was a single as such.

[remakeremodel1]

God my mum was 15 years old when this came out an she still has vinyl!

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

I'll buy it from her. I'll pay a reasonable price for it too.

[BastetMeow]

im 16 & i have it on vinyl....... & cassette lol

[MythicalJapan]

@BastetMeow im 17 and i have everything from wilde.

shes the love of my life lol

[NormacHC]

@BastetMeow Why does everyone mention they're age on "old" songs? It's annoying, it's juvenile and it's superflous... stop it...

[Asgairsson]

That means you are one lucky kid.

[DuaLeaD]

SEXY GUITAR!!

Gibson Les Paul Custom in Alpine White ;)

My main axe is a Gibson Les Paul Supreme in Alpine White (Randy Rhoads is my idol and the Custom was his main guitar)

[banshierocks]

@DuaLeaD its not just the guitar that is sexy the guitar player is too!

[JMCMLXXIX]

Great song!

[RedStarHaifa]

Sheer quality~One of Britian's top 80's new wave/club dance performer. Just love her, She's WILD!!!

[bogdadountyhunter]

God! she is so beautiful and sexy, and such a rocker,

...Her and Debbie harry were my alltime idols back in the day,

...Funny thing about Kim is she looks just as good now :)

[benderisgreat77]

Big fan of this lovely lady. This is my favorite KW tune. The synth is haunting, brooding, almost lonely. Great vocals from an 80's artist very much under appreciated.

[bogdadountyhunter]

Great comment, you said exactly what I wanted to say, only much more eloquently :)

[jarama77]

Great song, not heard enough on radio. Kim was so moody and ultra cool

[Nessfiles]

That's James Stevenson, ex-Gen X on guitar it looks like

[Glamking1]

IIRC 13th August 1981.

[EuroAlien]

She would have been at No.13 in the charts that week - maybe the TOTP performance helped her climb to No.11 the following week, which was the peak position for this excellent song.

Number One at the time? Shakin' Stevens!! [Green Door]

[EuroAlien]

Apologies for the double reply...could this have actually been 6 August 81? The reason I ask is that the record climbed from 35 to 17 that week - an 18 place gain - and it was unwritten TOTP policy to try and book the highest climber to appear on the show each week...

..yeah, I know, I should get out more :)

[Shonaripa]

still dont get the connection between tinnitus and water running down on glass

[harnois75]

The dirt that she walks in is sacred ground to me.

[Shonaripa]

does Kim Wilde have tinnitus?

[Asgairsson]

not herself but her dad, who wrote that song.

[FlavorRed]

Rock on!

[xeslanimilbuskcufxes]

One of my favorite singers. I just like the way her voice sounds.

[xeslanimilbuskcufxes]

Yeah. This song is about constant ear ringing. I know the feeling.

[xeslanimilbuskcufxes]

Classic song!

[kimwildelover]

gahctep - Yes - it's true. This song is about Tinnitus. Marty Wilde, who wrote the song, had said so in an interview way back when this song was released

[gahctep]

Thanks for that friend, must be the candidate for the most unusual subject

for a song. but a great song for all that

from a talented and sexy lady.

[gahctep]

Someone told me this was

about tinnitus,was that

true?

[aeonflux67]

I think someone is pulling on your testicles. Course not.

[gahctep]

Ha Ha would be an unusual subject

for a song i suppose.

[aeonflux67]

It sure would be. You'd certainly be safe from claims of lyrical plagiarism lol coz I cant imagine too many artists attempting it in the past.

[musicmoonlight]

This is fun to see. I use to listen to this song alot. It was a good album. I liked Kim Wilde. Thanks for this.

[Keijz74]

:o)# Water on glaaas running down again! Water on glaaas! That sound! Water on glaaas running down again! Help me! The sound of running water going down!

Thank you for posting. Great song, with great music.

[FlavorRed]

One of the greatest songs in the history of the Universe and beyond!

[Keijz74]

Cheers to that!

[Paulosoy]

I love the new wave sound of this song. Her father and brother team was great.

[RadieCarter]

My God she was sexy!!

[codyxiz]

It's time U came to Sweden Kimmie

[Loves80girl]

I love this song!!!

[njhobbs]

According to her Dad who wrote it, it's about 'Tinnitnus' - a medical condition where people have a constant ringing in their ears. Typical weird subject her dad and brother used to write about in the early days! Before I found that out, I just thought it was about being stuck indoors when it's raining....!

[FlavorRed]

Yes. The first time I read the lyrics I thought it was about ears ringing. I wasn't 100% sure but I thought it was indeed about that. You have confirmed it. I'm a musician and I've listed to a lot of loud music over the years. I always have a constant ring too. But don't notice it unless it's quiet. Or when I talk about it to someone then notice it... Thanks for letting me know.

[BoinaKarre]

yes you get tinitus if you hear music too loud, f.e.

[clarriona]

interesting. Thanks for the info.

[FlavorRed]

Anyone know what this song is about?

I might have an idea but I want to hear what others think first.

[FlavorRed]

I was making an 80's playlist but so far most of it consists of Kim Wilde songs. Time to make it a Kim Wilde playlist!

[FlavorRed]

And I have a playlist. Not that huge but it has some good songs.

[xxbrooke9216xx]

good song. my favorite song by kim.

[someblokecalledchris]

love itXXXXXXXX

[kwilde81]

Toute ma jeunesse... Kim est la meilleure !

[mgparis]

One of my fave Kim songs, thanks so much for posting - such few performances of this one! (albeit in playback, but still cool :)

[JarrodCook93]

It really suits that she became a pop star since both of her parents were in music.

[vood69]

THE FIRST TIME REALLY GOOOOD !

[kaki75]

WOW WOW WOW

watched 40 times & it's not finished :p:p:p

MUSIC

STYLE

& SO GORGEOUS KIM :p:p:p

[osman151]

did you watch the vid 40 times?

[peacekeeper26]

I first watched this KW performance when it was broadcast in 1981. Haven't seen it since....until now.

Thanks for posting !!

[Loserrockchick]

kim's dad Marty Wilde wrote this song I think?

[mgparis]

Yes, most of her earlier songs were co-written by her dad Marty and brother Ricki

[FlavorRed]

Then eventually Kim Wilde herself would occasionally write a song and compose it all by herself. The song "Shangri La" is one of them she made up by herself and let me tell you, it's one incredible song!

[wildenfree]

Indeed

on a very underated album called Teases and Dares

Played it till it wore out.

[BadBoy1968]

OMG, what a sweet song. Compared to it the nowadays' techno, electro etc. are pathetic piece of dirt. Nowadays everything SUCKS!!!

[cris412]

Kim Love Poland

[aloha808]

I think you mean "Poland loves Kim"...

Brilliant song! One of Kim's best singles I think, and she looks lovely as usual...

[Medazzalad]

I barely remember this track from the 80's and it's a shame that such great but lesser known hits don't get on the radio these days.

[joel60112]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!thanks for posting.

[flares]

Great Kim Wilde track but for some reason this is very rarely heard.

[mgparis]

OMG thanks so much! one of my fave KW songs, and I'd never seen this!

[bonk1981]

great to hear this again,hav"nt heard it since the 80"s

[charliemouse1234]

great clip, thanks for sharing, have you the whole show of this clip? any more totp?

[tonyderarera]

wow that was awsome! Hold on to this one its rare! Great too hear this fab track played as its played rarely!
