  • Man...I lived in the 80's

  • i see stuff like this I missed growing up like I never saw Simple Minds on Arsenio Hall and wonder what the heck it was I was doing at the time lol

  • Was the rain fallin' in Bloomington ,MN. Also? I didn't get all of the Flash flood warning...

  • rain keeps fallin' down

  • Is it just me or does this version sound more "rockish" and less "pop"?

  • @PearlSmile12 This is from sometime after Mick McNeil left (probably around 1990-1991 from the looks of it) so they probably rocked it up to compensate for the loss of the "synthy" sound Mick gave it.

  • what was happening in the 80's. where did the time go? where is that teenager i used to know?! how awesome life was to be carefree!

  • @vyanez08 I hear you there.

  • The only prob with this version is that SM should have turrned up the amps 100 . Otherwise a perfect rendetion.

  • I love being a victim of the 80's...but this vid is seriously making me consider suicide.

  • Hmmmm... Record Arsenio Hall... or run from the impending doom of a flash flood...

    *alarms sound*

    hmmmm

    I think I'll keep recording Arsenio. *tidal wave outside the window*

  • Americans are so stupid, putting a weather update while a band are playing, just typical thing they do.

  • Is that eddie murphy in the beginning?

  • @MaSeoLeBron OMG That was Arsenio Hall, you stool! Eddie Murphy's another black guy.ROFLMAO!!!!!!

  • @MaSeoLeBron Wesley Snipes

  • @Realjhad wesley snipes before he hit the steroids

  • That was one rainy night when I saw Arsenio and his gross hands welcome Simple Minds. Thunderstorms trianed over the same areas dumping culpious amounts of H2Whoaa.

  • ya the one where fry thinks that his bro took his name and used his clover to become pres and do great things bout found out that it was his bros boy he named after fry in honor of him! great show great song

  • Thats what came to my mind too,Futurama can be sad at times like the one where finds the fossil of the dog :*( he thought becuase he died at 15 he'd moved on from fry but in the scene it shows him waiting there for years.

  • they play that song in one of the epsodes in futurerama

  • That episode makes a direct reference to The Breakfast Club, which is one reason i love that episode

  • Why does the warning have to tell Americans what towns in the state are at risk from flooding, don't they know if they are in the north or the south of the state of Minnesota?

  • love the presenters hair, very early nineties

  • The presenters name is Asenio Hall. He did a movie called Coming To America with Eddie Murphy! It was a very funny movie! Well, back then, it was funny to me!

  • Coming to America is still awesome. Arsenio Hall is awesome. Simple Minds is awesome. So yeah, you're right.

  • if people dont know who Arsenio Hall is, well i feel sorry for them. He had some great acts for his time, and he was edgy then.

  • Yeah! In CTA Eddie and Arsenio both played multiple roles They had make up to make them look like old men in a barber shop and other hilarious characters! Thats where it all started!

  • I forgot to mention that is still a good movie, and this is still a good song, if anyone disagrees, then i wanna know why they were looking this up in the first place...

  • it still is
