Thompson Twins - Love On Your Side

[onesong2001]

You have to have been a teenager in the 80's to like this. I did.

Although I had a great time in my youth I have since realised that these 3 muppets with the combined charisma of a cabbage patch doll and musical abilities only equalled by Dappy from N'dubz, Milli Vanilli or Vanilla Ice, are best left in the 80's.

Oh!!!! They are still there!?! Thank fuck for that!

[darkhorse432]

didn,t like this till i heard it on gta vice city storys.

[tausti]

Freakin, love this!!!!!

[dheppleston]

My teenage years were during the 80's and this music was everywhere then. I remember many a night dancing at my local night clubs to this! Just awesome! I agree with other comments, they don't make music like this anymore, a pop band then actually performed and played instruments, nowadays they are karaoke singers wearing next to nothing trying to look cool!

[decunamus2]

Adam first brought me here.

[bulletz4life]

I was born too late. Missed out on all of this shit. Now all I can do is watch videos and dream of meeting any 80's pop band

[bartolemeo]

Five people don't have Love on their Side.

[MySleepingQuarters]

you tube you are brilliant

[alan451000]

Yep!!!!!!

[nwlman]

If you were born in the late 1960s this was your golden era

[FUGGY1000]

@nwlman I was and it was...

[RedditchBhoy]

60's, 70's and then the 80's signalled the end of originality and inventiveness, now all we have is sampling and piss poor imitations, thank God for Youtube and all you posters.

[GrafGuelle]

1983???

Oh my god, I am that old then, am I?

[simonpodgornik]

1.08-1.12 in the name of love

[DAVIDC467]

@simonpodgornik

[SuperTrueblood101]

i'm a kid and i love this stuff more than "pop" music today.....anyone agree?

[BluBel123]

[totalrecall49]

vice city stories 

[mullio]

[Dashland13]

I miss The Thompson Twins more than any other group from the 80's!

[crowsonatv]

[MARLONSKiUnusual]

Very sad, that they don't work anymore on new material. and at these times it's so easy to release records X

[trainbow17]

[dondocooperstein]

MY FAVORITE THOMPSON TWINS TRACK!!!!

[AiresBarroso]

gush, what a nice time I spent in the discos in Portugal Costa da Caparica.......Great 80s

[mds810]

This must be about March 1983. If it's not featured in the current series of Ashes to Ashes then it's a crime!!

[lylymad]

Wow, this vid gives me the impression that the 80s were really fun, at least musically speaking. Not like today's music...

Thanks for posting this!

[fergsnando]

Wicked... am sorry I never got to see them Live.

Alannah rocked!

[KingStevoPunk]

Love On Your Side is my fave Thompson Twins too :)

[DaveCoop96]

This song is so great!!!! In my opinion,I think love on your side is their best song.I love the Thompson Twins so much. Its to bad they won't do a reunion concert.Long live the Thompson Twins!!

[ColumRogers]

That is what you call pop music. The majority of shite that passes as music these days doesn't even come close to the likes of this.

Anyone agree?

[rusty79cat]

gud tune i loved the 80 im just gutted i was born late 70s

[pyeman90]

i agree with you 1000%

[pyeman90]

yes i do agree 1000%

[JonMcElectro]

@ColumRogers Yeah. All you get now is all that R&B nonsense plus X Factor nonsense. Hardly get any good Songs nowadays.

[ColumRogers]

@JonMcElectro

I know, it's atrocious! Long may the Thompson Twins reign, i doubt anyone will remember Rihanna in 25 yrs time :)

[AndyOshea]

@ColumRogers Sorry bud but this is horse shit. Not quite barry manilow is it

[Isochest]

@ColumRogers It's bloody sound:-)

[heddalee]

@ColumRogers nope. people like what they like. thompson twins sounds like incoherent trash to lots of people. pop music is pop music, but we like what we're familiar with!

[rusty79cat]

wot eva happened to these guys?

[Earthstorm989]

The lead singer and the girl got married and raise sheep in New Zealand. The Black guy is still very active as a studio musician

[princette]

@Earthstorm989 , Alannah Currie left New Zealand and she was actually an environmental activist, and our sheep stocks are declining. Joe Leeway is hald white too, his father was Nigerian, his mother Irish. By the way I love the Thompson Twins music and grew up with it.

[fyfytj]

That's not what happened. Tom and Alannah got married in 1989/90 and divorced in 2003. Tom lives in France with his second wife and Alannah lives in England and works with her daughter. Joe lives in Los Angeles and works as a hypnotherapist.

[DonnieBrownIII]

Who's eva?

[aaronjarvis1]

Gr8 song. Luv it. 80s 4ever. fab. my favs r Love On Your Side & Hold Me Now.

[perpetual61]

I'd Gladly take anyone willing to come with Me and go Back to the 80's. If I could only know how to build a Time Machine. Bless To the Greatest Decade Ever !!

[MegaRapture]

please take us . we are 80s trash bags although i was born 89 i hate everything noughties fashion, music, creativity died from the 80s. all my age group are bland and insipid i wish i was a blitz kidxxxx

[fyfytj]

I bet your age group finds you creepy.

[garymixer]

[NAIVADA]

80s good fun

[kamelion7]

I always thought that Jow Leeway was gay? Must've got that wrong. I love tom Bailey but his dancing is proper shameful

[MrLobster65]

Love on their side!!! Great.

[WaddeDarinDarin]

its has that Thompson Thompson-Rin Tin Tin effect..it shows only in Tom...no wonder tom was burned out in the band and wanted to quit,, arguing with Joe then alannah and joe would bully Tom.. Tom would always say.."I dont understand"

[redwhitch17]

Ahhh..Thompson Twins..Loved these guys..80S bands..Love em......Thanks for sharing dean..

[ColumRogers]

Thompson Twins ROCK!!!!

[ScrittiSparkle]

[kristianjoneid]

[bigjoea2k8]

were on earth did she get that giant baseball cap from...

[depechemodedude1991]

I know! I want one too!!

[JohnnySwitchblade]

I need one for a show I'm making, where one of the characters is influenced by the Thompson Twins and their look. I wonder if a regular old trucker hat would do the trick.

[depechemodedude1991]

Im sure it will if you jazz it up a bit with your own idears you may have. Show? Im intrugied...

[BondiBJ]

Make one yourself........

[kepalaheadkopf]

Tom's hairstyle is back in fashion

[bluewithoutyou]

history in advance

[TheIntruders]

Question: What song do the horns play after he sings the line "I play you all my favorite records"? If you know the answer, you are amazing.

[leokahn]

'In the name of love' by...

the Thompson Twins!

Yes, I am amazing :)

[TheSoulTwins]

in the name of love - ABC

[matelot95]

No, In The Name of Love is by The Thompson Twins!

[JohnnySwitchblade]

Bah, I never really liked ABC that much, TT is much better.

[RickeyRamone]

Thompson Twins rule!

[WayfarerGirl]

this song is amazing (and the group as well)

[MeAndMyRC]

[TheGodParticle]

I love you 80's, will you marry me!!!!!!

[RickeyRamone]

Yes, I'm the 80's. Did I hear someone proposing to me? Well, I like your channel, its cool scientific name, and the things that you wrote on it, and you have brilliant (as you folks say) musical taste! So if you're a cute girl I'll, at least, go out with you for sure. But I'm thinking that you're a guy, so let's be friends!

[jeffryfourmile]

faaaaaaaaaaaaaab

[stephencd1]

Yes I remember watching this on TOTP before heading off to Leighton Court (Neston, Wirral) and using those moves on the dance floor. What a twat I must of looked. Stevie

[waragainstscumbags]

I was DJing there and saw you on the floor

[stephencd1]

[flemwad]

[eggnation]

[retroguy1976]

[Bolzebub]

Endlich in guter Tonqualität..;)

[ShakerCuda71]

look at her hat! Awesome!

[SoulBoogieBoy]

aah memories. I can remember the one week the top of the pops dance troupe 'Zoo' performed a really funky routine with Flags to this song & got the whole audience involved! I remember it being pretty impressive at the time (I was pretty young mind - probably an embarrasment now!) but it still sticks in my mind til this day. Can anybody else remember this & does anybody have it to upload??

[kernerschreiber13]

TT and early UK New Wave Bands are the shit.....;

and the bollocks that passes for music, nowadays is no competition at all !!

80´s FOREVER !!

[thegoldenyear]

Tom, perhaps not the slickest when busting a move, but the boy could sure write a smart tune. Nice work!!

[jeffryfourmile]

"I played you all my favourite records..."

[hersilentface]

cuz you got love,love,love on your side! "i played you all my favorite records...(melody from "In the Name of Love") that's just wonderful!i truly heart the Thompson Twins :)

[adultescent1971]

I've never seen this before, and absolutely love it - thanks! :) ...

[jeffryfourmile]

Hahahaha brilliant!!!

[ermthewerm]

hey now, this tune allways made me wanna grab some hot betty and hit the dance floor in the 80,s of course . remember betty? ERM
