Sarah Brightman & Hot Gossip - I Lost My Heart To A Starship

[ismcb4sc]

i hope space will be like 70s and 80s sci fi

[CinnabonChan]

It is now my life's ambition to conquer the universe in a sequinned, lycra spacesuit.

[stopthesoftkill]

i'm sure that give it another 20 years and those dance moves will be cool again

[DarkOverfiend]

4 mins of my Life wasted..... gah...

[Richardisdorky]

Yet another example of how star wars was massively over rated.

[rogerush]

This video is not from 1978, it's from the future.

[Megia1003]

SO MUCH GLITTER! *screams like a little girl* Love Sarah

[matchbox555]

best song ever made

[WillysBurgGuy]

Yes, the producers of the original Battlestar Galactica have much to answer for.

[Wingatewasright]

On a scale of one to gay this is Elton John.

[svalchemy]

@Wingatewasright

Are you joking? Elton John is Burt Reynold's left testicle compared to this. It would make Richard Simmons make a sucking noise with his teeth.

On the other hand, it's as close as we are now ever going to get to one of Freddie Mercury's pool parties.

[TheRadFactor]

I landed here because I liked an album of Sarah Brightman and Wikipedia referred to this song as one of her early hits with this group. But the song is flat and boring to my taste. I guess I am 30 years late to judge it.

[sakaspuds]

ok i think i've heard a dubstep remix of just about everything, but this song would work i think, not too dubsteppy though.... :P

[VerdeVertigoPictures]

'All I Ask Of You'... 'I Lost My Heart To A Starship Trooper'...?! Well, well, quite a range there, eh, Sarah? ;P What would the Angel of Music say?

(Don't I sound like a crazed Phan or what...)

I love these retro 80's music videos though!

[friendofsgran]

I didn't know Sarah sang this!

[shikiraclareify]

Music is also about imagination - I like this video for this reason alone, but it is the sheer powerful disco music that makes it so amazing. Just love it!

[NovaLand]

Now I know where Daft Punk got their inspiration from :P

[Rockin60s70s80s]

wow, way different Sarah compared to her later character, Christine Daae.

[davidleigh65]

a great pop song...if a very camp video...which has to be played at full volume for real appreciation.......another late 70s song of course inspired by all the futurism and ufo mania created as a result of the movie close encounters of the third kind.....

[sjcobra84]

As said in a previous conversation before, this should be the end song for Mass Effect 3. The universe is saved, the Reapers defeated now lets all disco the night away (3

[bellydancingdream]

my childhood aspiration was to be in Hot Gossip lol

[fishyfingersparty]

Hurray, found it at last, the video they use in the US to recruit astronauts!

[ndhan72]

The best dance troupe I ever saw.

[firstfloor83]

The girls are hot, especially Sarah and Lorraine Whitmarsh (the readhead).

[JoeStunner]

Camp? This video makes Strictly Come Dancing look like a Bauhaus gig.

[MrMadmaxmax]

can't get rid of this song in my head for a while now. wtf?

[corinya2]

FAFFING AMAZING!

[Gresysa]

Uh thanks Christopher Paolini...? I think....

[dense2010]

@Gresysa Haha. What would happen if Arya broke out into song and sang this? XD

"I lost my heart to a Dragon rider."

[Gresysa]

@dense2010 he did say he listened to it a lot while he wrote Inheritance....

[dense2010]

@Gresysa LMAO

[TheMusicGirl510]

@fluffycommander this is exactly why we need space travel

[LostInThought1972]

This song needs to become available for Rock Band DLC now!

[FranHu75]

that's like some cheap interracial porn from the end of the 70's :-DDD

[fluffycommander]

This is why we can't have space travel

[Gentilegentry]

I watch this video and all I can think is...

You kill bugs good, Rico.

[leqorctank]

I liked the song… Its a shame the Video wasn't camp enough  :)

[bizzelify]

some will call this retro ,,i call this HEAVEN,,,,,,

[TimmacTR]

hum......which planet are you guys from again?

[Avariio]

Kate Bush did disco before Wuthering Heights?

[djzaldek]

Great catchy song very camp music I love it

[MarkMuses]

Racial quotas eh?

[TheDKsuperstar]

GLITTER GUY !!!!!

[Regginyaga]

so this is a joke?

[aaronscrewme]

Absolutely the most faggy men on earth. This is unequivocally gay.

[DirkDigglerExtreme]

@aaronscrewme

Except they're there for the women to fall in love with. This is exactly the same as every music video with a bunch of mostly naked women, except this time it's the men who are being objectified.

There's a lesson to be learned here, but I suspect you won't.

[aaronscrewme]

@DirkDigglerExtreme What woman falls in love with a gay man twirling on tv? "There's a lesson to be learned here, but I suspect you won't." Your standards are that low? No wonder your husband left you...

[HamletOmlet]

17 interstellar pacifists dislike this video.

[rob24974]

this still sounds good..sarah looks great in this..great disco

[dbone024]

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH I DIDN'T PUT MY GOGGLES ON IN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShadowSonic2]

@dbone024 Don't worry, the goggles do nothing.

[dragonfly8486]

My mother said this song was awful. She's gone now...

[Wolfington]

I think we've got a spare couple of old torches in the loft. Might go and fetch them so I can try that funny holding-them-at-nipple-height dance.

[MissFriedCats]

Campest video ever but fab song.

[LittleLeafTorterra]

wow Sarah is OLD but AWESOME!!

[ITSASYRUP]

Whats going on out there?

[themysteriouscrumpet]

This song is so awesome I don't even care that they rhymed "space" with "space." Quickly!!!!!! WHERE'S MY SEQUINED JUMPSUIT?????!!!!!!!!!!!

[lacowie]

bassline in chorus is amazing

[AgentAllen2]

@Guttaheherp I fear you read my coment as negative criticism. Never. No. Not at all.

[antiprosynthesis]

This takes the term "catchy" to a whole new level.

[AgentAllen2]

The total level of camp actually overloaded the universe and caused it to reboot five times. If you look closely you'll notice the glitches.

[Guttataherp]

@AgentAllen2 It blew up my record player when I was a kid, now that explains why :D

(OT) I can still lip sync to this decades later, there is no hope for me.

[blackcoffy83]

@Guttataherp LMFAO!!!

[TheDudar]

@AgentAllen2 that was the excessive amount of blow

[Nightbird87]

OMG I just LMAO but I love it!!

[kidparksy]

this video must habe cost a fortune.................in tin foil

[dougfrombaltimore]

hard to believe the Sarah Brightman became a excellent world known classical singer... SEarch for her singing "Time to say Goodbye"

[raingirl53]

Fun!

I can't say 1978 was a fun time for me. I was 17, hoping it wouldn't be too much longer before i could drop the boy act and just be myself, a girl. I was so feminine that most people figured I'd make a better girl anyway...or thought I already was a girl.

[bloodiedXangel]

*sighs* Oh Captain Jack :)

[douma234]

wanna bet that those male dancers have absolutely no interest in the women?

[fallenlester]

Wow what incredible cheese, thank you!



[TheDeltawave]

"I can't dance... but I have... GLITTER!"

[bigmatt2724]

And here we have irrefutable evidence of the cause of the Great 1978 Spandex shortage!

[abhard6]

I remember watching this on TOTP when I was a kid and thinking wow really modern LOL. But back then this was cutting edge stuff.

Still prefer it to a lot of the overproduced crap poured out now

[Drew2rew1990]

this is one of the most funniest videos i have even seen can't stop laughing XD

[Raguleader]

I'll be honest with you. I'm very disappointed that this song did not appear in any of the Starship Troopers films.

[Twitchmonkey1]

The guy at 1:49 is too heterosexual. for his shirt. I mean, look at that moustache and all that chest hair. That man could kill a bear with a toothbrush.

[dirths]

The woman at the end of the "Conaga line" looks like Lorraine Newman from Saturday Night Live from about this same era.

[BigEricHunt]

No more ridiculous than who she really lost her heart to.

[erikwick]

OMG!  How have I lived this long without seeing this? A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

[fossy111]

Love this. Pure camp nonsense, but great camp nonsense.

[DustinThePooper]

Intergalactic relationships make me SICK. Space travelers should have sex with their OWN women. I mean, LOOK at this disgusting video.

lol

[modelgirl2793]

...So funny to think this is Sarah Brightman (seeing her now) and... very racy for an 18 year old (says the 18 year old)...

[abisfun]

I think I saw this number on a cruise ship.

[edenic]

the dancing isooooo crap

[ITSASYRUP]

If you do get caught in space without your torch, make sure have a spare set of maracas. "Whats going on out there"

[Bladerunner93]

Captain John and Captain Jack's song

[kissfan7]

There should be a warning at the start of the video.

"ATTENTION STRAIGHT GUYS: Do not watch this video without eye protection! This video contains amounts of camp which may be fatal to heterosexual men!"

[heinzie5]

@kissfan7 it also contains some slamming hotties

[creatornat]

@kissfan7 ..LOL! No kidding. :)

[grindorblackout1986]

@kissfan7 fuck, now you tell me

[britich]

@kissfan7 I have two gay friends so I was able to watch it twice, I should be safe.

[galti111]

Is it just me, or were Hot Gossip a lot hotter on the Kenny Everett show?

[Tjongibuljongen]

++Uhh, Starfleet control, this is Avatar, reporting heavy "Ham" activity at "Youtube/starship trooper". Requesting immediate evac and nuking of stage from orbit, over.++

[tenjouin1]

At 2:19 a Star Wars main theme allusion. This is an example of the era when the sci-fi movies were in fashion.

[classicsgirl93]

Disregarding time periods, how is this different from Katy Perry's E.T.? They're both catchy inprobable space romance songs.

[FullMetalAlcohol]

To people who don't know, this woman is one of the highest selling sopranos in the world. Ever.

[GRAHAMAUS]

Thumbs up if Donna was your favourite!

[451harri]

Someone desperately needs to make a Mass Effect music video featuring this song. 0_0

Seriously, NOW.

[sjcobra84]

@451harri 2ND THAT!! You said exactly what I was thinking. THIS WOULD BE AMAZING FOR A MASS EFFECT PARODY!!

[451harri]

@sjcobra84 Let's start a petition for having this as the end credit song for Mass Effect 3 if you get a good ending. How great would that be? The climactic ending, your whole squad alive, the universe saved... NOW LET'S GET OUR GROOVE ON! End credits roll over an awesome disco.

[sjcobra84]

@451harri fuck yes

[slash5754]

In the future men will be required to be topless at all times.

[mojoman64]

Is it just me or would this be awesome to see on The Big Bang Theory?

[hte624]

@mojoman64 Oh, yes. With Raj drunk and dancing.

[EryxUK]

Haven't heard this for years. Fantastic. You don't get cool songs like this anymore.

[DustinThePooper]

Anyone else here because of Zero Punctuation's Halo 3 review? No? Just me? okay.

[eryqeryq]

@DustinThePooper: Not just you.

[sjcobra84]

@DustinThePooper I found this cause of the Halo 3 interview (3

[noproblem53]

hot gossip --probably the best dance troupe ever--for me at 57 years old a compelling yes!!!!!!!!

[getyoursfree]

Gay male dancers! Dontcha lovem!

[carihigs]

These girls are so pale. O.O

[bizzelify]

yep i still would...

[persona83]

The 70s where really bizarre... and lovely! :)

[anotherhunkydory]

it says on this link that this is one of the top 10 weirdest videos...

//brainz.org/15-weirdest-music­-videos-all-time/

[phs43]

Starship Trooper? Not Stormtrooper?

Guess they were inspired by STARWARS released a year earlier (also 1977).

[magneticglass]

@phs43 it is based on Star Wars..because in the lyrics its said something about Darth Vader and also says something about The Force...look the lyrics up on google...

[diTaykan]

@magneticglass

Federation, Starfleet Command... the force line is relatively minor, almost throwaway. I'd say it's based more on generic science fiction shows, including Star Wars, Star Trek, Flash Gordon, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind than anything specific.

[magneticglass]

@diTaykan right..ok..i knew it had Star Wars in it..but wouldnt of surprised me if there were other Si-Fi movies too...

[unvergebeneid]

@magneticglass Well, there are melodic and textual references to at least 2001 and Close Encounter of the Third Kind, too.

[mag86]

LOL! hillarious



[degeble]

I can't help help but wonder what happened to ARCADIA XD990 sounded like she was having a few issues ????? ;-)

[hememsot]

3:29 Hey! Early Auto-tuning! :D



[Kartissa]

Don't suppose anyone knows who the girls at 2:55 are?

[PILINDEORO]

@Kartissa lady gaga



[emmadilemmasings]

@Kartissa ...the cheeky girls?

[LaMagra70]

33 years old video, you people got any idea how innovative and popular this was back then? It's better even than some of today's crap.

[MsFanmail]

I love this song i was only four years old when this was first released i love late 1970s songs better than todays rubbish.Sarah brightman is g8 on this track hot gossip used to dance on the kenny everett show.

[Nancycutie004]

3:18 LOOKS SO LES! EWW!

[SuperDancedisco]

its funny and sexy

[bizzelify]

i was 11 when this came out ,,,, now i know why my bro wouldnt let me watch this on top of pops,,,,,

[TODELLISUUSMEDIA]

I first searched Titanic from You Tube and found Sarah Brightman´s version of My Heart Will Go On. Read about her history in Wikipedia and then remembered her Hot Gossip background and searched this. Sarah was almost my first crush from TV in Kenny Everett Show. ABBA´s Agnetha may have been first. Sarah really was amazing back then and still is in this and in recent years. Perfect for over 30 years. Scientifically almost impossible feat for any human being!!!!

[Illisius]

ACK

It's so 80's!

[jinxer70]

@Illisius you mean 70s

[djstevester5]

i was watching fruit machines and i ended up ere ,strange x

[RattleheadIV]

Star wars if it was directed by Larry Flynt

[castletriglav]

This is the best evidence of why the 70's had to end. lol

[noproblem53]

This is what my generation had to put up with -- would I want to be young again -- sure as hell no

[blah5533]

the Aldershot version is better " I lost ma bra to a pissed up squaddie"

[tindalosion]

@blah5533

and in context just as heroic

[TheWayOutClubUK]

F£$king camp or what :-))

[surreydodger]

Mysteries of the 20th Century,,, How did Sarah Brightman end up marrying a warthog?

[TipTopTimes]

@surreydodger It's a real mystery that nobody can answer.

My best guess involves glue sniffing and insanity.

[WeirdButNotInsane]

This video has more glitter in it than Twilight and The Labyrith combined...

[Cronoswraith]

@WeirdButNotInsane And yet it's more entertaining than both...

[WeirdButNotInsane]

@Cronoswraith

You got that right! :)

Work it Sarah!

[BandB1111111]

@WeirdButNotInsane I think some of that glitter is cocaine

[WeirdButNotInsane]

@BandB1111111

I wouldn't be suprised

[WeirdButNotInsane]

@BandB1111111

I wouldn't be suprised

[mallardvasey]

To everyone who says this is cheesy crap - so what? It's a really catchy song, and the video's good fun. Give me that over excellent production values and an awful song any day.

[Lovett19991]

@mallardvasey

the song really is a bit cheesy but when i heard it for the first time i couldn't get it out of my head.i was singing "i lost my heart to a starship troooper" all day long.it was stupid becouse i knew only that one line.but i'm listening to it every day. :D

[billy574]

Is it me or is Kathy Griffin one of the dancers?

[rigel5]

So cheesey it's classic! Am I correct in saying that Arlene Philips was a member of this group? (Judge on Strictly Come Danceing a few years ago)

[discreditor]

evil Darth Vader is banished to Mars? Now correct me if i'm wrong *pushes glasses back onto nose with index finger* but Dart Vader never went to Mars.

[superemposed]

i would like to wake up by the side of Donna

[bigjoeblueeyes]

Am I crazy, or does this remind you of Katy Perry??? lol

[Dermacrosis]

Ah the 70s were just so camp.

I remember choreographic my own "dance" to this as a kid including my Star Wars toys. Ah the days of innocence.

[goodtimetone]

i always liked the blond chick

[ElectraDeLioncourt]

It's such a junk but amazing at the same time. They managed to turn a typical nerd thing into something nearly sexualized - and in disco rythm! I'm really scared of Sarah Brightman's career before the musical and all of that \oo/

[Risenok]

Ugly choreography

[Canada9990]

What the hell did i just watch!

[JOCKATEO]

i got crabs from a starship trooper and he give herpes on my face

[dbandola]

It's afraid....IT'S AFRAID!!!

[ShawnMcCool]

This song is amazing.

[jheathish]

love the music! better then todays crap and the dancers just brilliant..

[sweetsoysauce]

lmao ----- :) I wonder what goes through Sarah's mind if she looked at this mv now ... reminded me of the 80s.

[Koeningsplein15]

Hello All.. Which was better? Hot Gossip or Benny Hill’s ‘Hill’s Angels’?
