Harmless track. Don't see much point in making an 80s version of an 80's track tho. They pretty much just changed a couple synths and the bpm. Even the claps are in the original.
the reason so many people like the "80s" sound of this is because all the sounds they use are the exact samples from the 1985 original from Clio. this is not a cover. this is some desperate wannabes ripping off an original creation to seem nostalgic.
@nmh881 you are 100% wrong! Of course this is a cover of the original by Clio but it does not sample the original it is all new synths and sounds, it's a cover! Do your research or at least listen closer before making silly false claims. And Electric Youth has great original songs of their own like 'Right Back to You' and 'Fade Away' not to mention their hit with College from the Drive film, so clearly they have no trouble making nostalgic music of their own, don't be foolish lol.
@jaime272727 yes the bass is new and they added some guitar. the synth keys are however the original pushed from their original stereo phasing format into a mono crammed sound. i took some time and listened to the songs you linked and yes they do have a nostalgic feel to their originals. i stand corrected. im just tired of all the sampling of older songs passed off as an artist's "original" song. neon indian anyone???
@nmh881 I appreciate your open mind to listen to their other stuff but you are still 100% wrong about the synths. I agree they sound similar to the original but I can assure it's all new reproduced synths not samples. The main synth sound they even use in another song "Fade Away"! and some of the other synth stuff is not even analogue it's VSTs.
I absolutely LOVE the distinctive sound of 80's Electronic synths and Smooth female vocals. It fills me with so much joy and excitement when I hear NEW songs like this what were made in this Century! ^_^ Retro 4 Ever!
the Clio version is good but they sped the song up and added so much layering with this version. It still sounds like a kool and the gang bassline but the original did too. nicely done.
These two are about to get some elevated airplay -- College f. Electric Youth -- A Real Hero from the Drive Soundtrack. Key track for the movie. Congrats!!
I 've been so crazy about 80ies Pop the last year that i decided to make my own 80ies style Pop song and give it for free. I am calling all the 80ies freaks to musically connect with me with:
Heyy this song made me think michael jackson was still black, run dmc was still playn, and i could of swore i was wearing a gold chain with a ninja turtles shirt?
@balletshoesofficial Check out the album called Valerie and Friends. There are many songs in this Electronic-Nostalgic genre. My favourite songs besides this one and Jupiter's Starlighter are: Keenhouse - Deep in the Forest, Russ Chimes - Daytona, Maethelvin - Lost in Big City, The Outrunners - Runaways, Moulinex - 1Stracklove
Those synths comming in 0:08, are something that u can't describe with just a word. They just blow your mind back to the 80's..... AWESOME! 5stars peace!
glassminimalist.. i know what you mean... Amen. i cant find anyone in my area that likes this kind of music.... i still blast it when i drive around... im not an 80's child.. but man o man. it must of been nice
@burberryicecreamtop this is a cover by toronto duo electric youth of a classic italo disco song by cleo. this is from like 2008 and the original is from 1986.
@SebiSthlm så jävla bra. Kommer ihåg orginalet, men denna slår nog allt den........Sebisthlm min nya musikletartjänst........lite drygt bara att han bor i AEKÅ-land ;)
@andrewmusick88 - Nah, the original is far better because of the pace of the song and this just sounds like it has too much going on. And the singing was better in the first. Still all right though.
I wish that my friends appreciated music like this...see, this is the kind of stuff you should dance to. It has a nice build to it, and feels complete. All my friends just want some generic crap that is basic, with no build or good qualities to it other than the fact that there's either four-on-the-floor or something else that is regular and solid. Sigh...
@bimbyris123 Every town needs a dance club with such music because music is not fashion although they promote it as if it is. a place where you dance with favorites and you learn new music.
@Auraeuz, ya totally better. this version is really good too but they didn't even really change much when they covered it. it's almost the same song. Clio also has a song called "eyes" that is totally rad. there's a video for it on here.
