  • "So...you'll hammer later!"

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song. Last I checked it is not available on itunes. But thanks to a YouTube to mp3 download I own it and got the cover art from google images.

  • Real Genius.......

  • I like 4 GENRES of MUSIC ... (*UNDERGROUND HIP HOP - CLASSIC ROCK - OLD MOTOWN SOUL - 80S NEW WAVE*) its to bad only 1 GENRE still exist or puts out NEW MUSIC aka UNDERGROUND HIP HOP but I wish stuff like this still came out ... I fucking LOVED this song & still do ... so CLASSIC in the CLASSIC movie REAL GENIUS & made me feel EUPHORIC & still does when I see it in that movie & hear it .... "20 POINTS HIGHER THAN ME ... HE THINKS A BIG GUY LIKE THAT CAN WEAR HIS CLOTHES" ... *music starts*

  • This is 1 of my favorite songs of all or Will you stay tonight by them Highly underrated group by far! REAL GENIUS CLASSIC FOR SURE! Damn I remember being like 13 in 87 watching that.Where did the good times go? Anyone into underrated groups check Naked Eyes, like all their material or The Fixx tracks> 1. Saved by zero 2. stand or fall 3. Red skies at night Kajagoogoo tracks>1. Hang on now 2. Islands 3. Power to forgive 4.Lions Mouth  Thomas Dolby> Dissidents, This earth, Don't turn away

  • REAL GENIUS IS ONE OF MY FAV 80's MOVIES!!! I love the 80's <3

  • @prettylilgirl93

    I just watched it on AMC! I love the 80's tooo! =D

  • @sumleegai

    lol me too! hehe great minds think alike lolz

  • @prettylilgirl93 It goes from God, to Jerry, to you, to the cleaners, right Kent?

  • "...I drank what?"

  • Don't you know listening to this song can give you very large breasts??? Oh my god!! I'm too late!!!

  • great song,great movie.....one of my favorites

  • I always listen to this and Number One during finals.

  • The indoor beach day was the best!

  • Was it a dream where you were standing in sort of sun-god robes on top of a pyramid, and there were hundreds of naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?

  • Im not joking chris..!

    Neither am i Jerry!

  • whats real genius?

  • @outlawformetal614 An independent 1980s movie with Val Kilmer, set at Caltech. Involved a bunch of really smart college kids getting tricked into designing a military-grade laser for their corrupt professor, and the revenge they wreaked when they realized they'd been had.

  • @ArchTeryx00 was there a lot of popcorn in it

    because i remember that and a laser

    but have never heard this song until now

  • @outlawformetal614 Yes, there was a whole lot of popcorn - it played an integral part in the revenge that the kids wrought on the professor, who *HATED* popcorn. The laser was basically one powerful enough to take into space and incinerate targets on the ground - Val Kilmer's character figured out how to make one powerful enough to do that. And the song was played over a montage of Mitch, his wunderkind roommate, trying to get into the swing of life on campus and in the lab. :)

  • @ArchTeryx00 this sounds like a really cool eighties movie

    and you sound cool for knowing so much about it

  • @outlawformetal614 It is an awesome movie. It was on tv the other night. I think AMC. I think it may be on sale at Walmart now too. If you haven't watched it yet, and you love 80s movies, you GOTTA watch this. It's a moral imperative. (:

  • @ArchTeryx00 The Laser was an 8 Megawatt model, and the beam is what's called an Eximmer (spelling): very high powered Ultraviolet pulse laser with long pulse durations and very short pulse intervals, appearing as a continuous beam. It's resonant cavity needed to be frozen, and would burn itself out after one firing.

  • @Dreaded88 More or less. It also was entirely fictional - no laser in the Real World has gotten close to that power, let alone a chemical laser. UV Excimer lasers do exist (I've used them myself!) but are mostly made from reactions with noble gasses and halides (Xenon-chlorine laser was the one I used) and are very low power. Eye surgeons love the thing - go to a Lasik center, chances are it's a XeCl laser they'll be using on your eye.

  • @ArchTeryx00 Hmmm... Perhaps the producers were desperate for a workable solution that Chris would have to stumble upon, versus something like a Copper Vapor Laser?

    BTW: Thank you for bringing this song back. This brings back such memories of slaving away studying for tests. Much like the effect the Stephen J. Cannel Vanity Card video has on me when I'm writing!

  • "You're standing in front of the TelePrompTer!"

    "Well I didn't know!"

  • :)

  • Every time I hear this, I think of Real Genius. One of my fave soundtracks ever!

  • Thumbs down if you knew about this band before "Real Genius". :)

  • Anyone know where I can get a copy of this song for my Ipod?

  • What are you looking at, you're laborer's... You should be laboring! That's what you get for not having an education.

  • Your mother puts license plates in your underwear? How do you sit?

  • yep

  • "You know, Jerry, and I only say this because I care...there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing."

  • YES, REAL GENIUS ALL BROUGHT US HERE! IT'S A BRILLIANT MOVIE WITH AN EQUALLY BRILLIANT SOUNDTRACK. YOU COULD NEVER CREATE A BETTER LATE NIGHT CRAMMING SONG.

  • @whyterobert

    Or you can just use a free youtube to Mp3 converter (takes like 4 mins for 1 song) and put it on your ipod that way, I always do that. Just google "youtube to mp3 converter" and you'll find it.

  • the lead singer of the Comsat Angels will be on my radio show soon The Wave on KSYM find us on facebook

  • I've got to find this and upload it to my iPOD...AWESOME !!!

  • This song -- rather it's sound -- predates early music from The Fixx. Love this band -- still!

  • @EJosephMusic I would agree. This sounds very similar to The Fixx. I think I even hear some Peter Gabriel in there as well.

  • Kermode, right again...

  • The 80's, the generation we would all love to go back to, I LOVE THE 80'S!!!!

  • Summer of 85...Left Las Vegas and went to England for two years - this song rings in my head and brings back many memories and emotions - great song!!!

  • They never released an "official" soundtrack for Real Genius, which is a bummer. They had a LOT of good music. You can download individual MP3s for the songs that were used, but some songs were never credited.

  • I love this song

  • I drank what? This band is cool. They really should have released a soundtrack for "Real Genius".

  • This band is WAY bigger than fucking Real Genius.

  • Best song ever when relaxing or un whinding

    Wish that band would play that one more time... Loud enough so i can hear it from miami,fl

  • bass and drums are on

  • "Do you mind if I name my first child after you? 'Dipshit Knight' has a nice ring to it."

    The 80's was an amazing time to be a kid. The movies were all incredible. Anyone else remember Warners Bros. cartoons before the film and how everyone in the theater would clap and give standing ovations after the movie ended? Nowadays it's $14 to watch a movie in 3d using glasses that give you a headache.

  • @lifesfinallgoodagain Dude, I really couldn't have said it better myself. I think it can be attributed the the "new" technology of the 80's: the cartoons with better colors, the movies with special effects done with real human hands, and the music. Now, everything is taken for granted. Nothing wows anybody.

  • @MikeGartner You really shouldn't be so general. NOTHING? ANYBODY? I'm sure SOMETHING somewhere wows SOMEBODY. Technology today blows me away and I often think about how great the technology of the 80's was in it's day.

  • @crocodilescry I'll repeat. NOTHING WOWS ANYBODY. Instant gratification and technology have become a mixed bag.

  • I wish I could find this track for sale.

  • I am trying to find the mp3 of this song. I found the cd on amazon.com but the seller wants $255! Not kidding.

  • real genius for the win...

    I drank what.?

  • ironically, the one song anyone might know of the comsat angels is NOT on iTunes, its just on here...

  • " I want you tho think about what you've done, Kent...and from now on, stop playing with yourself!"

    "...It is God." LOL

  • @oingofan "Why is that toy on your head?" "Because if I wear it anywhere else, it chafes."

  • sounds like funk is it?

  • @TheHetorloco 80's hybrid of synth and funk

  • @Flagman00

    What a combination of sounds. Synth-Funk! Yea! That's what I'm saying.

    Like the funky heavy bass in this tune and that chirping guitar...cooooool!

  • It's a moral imperative....

  • A reminder of a great movie. Real Genius was telling us that we should have fun as much as possible.

  • nobody has this song, thank you for putting this up!!

    "Kent you know you're not supposed to park that on campus"

  • always one ass-hat that has to thumbs down :)

    ,jon

  • i was 7 in 1985 and I've been loving this song ever since, I'm 32 now and this song makes me wanna back in time just I wish i was older so I could have gone out dancing to this song...amazing song and real genius is still one of my favorite movies of all time.

  • @jovanna242 Ya, I'm 34 and loved the song from the movie too. Still an excellent song.

  • It's hard to believe this is the same group who did the amazing Sleep No More only few years earlier. Still this song is pretty cool :-)

  • comsats rock

  • They're playing at Plug in their hometown of Sheffield.this December. Do NOT miss it!!

  • Where did this ablum/CD go? Miss this song too. Fortunately have "Real Genius" on DVD.but seeing Val Kilmer now is depressing...more than age caught up with him.

  • Thumbs up if you looked this up after watching "Real Genius".

  • @DrWindo Ok, I gave you a thumbs up, but I am CURRENTLY watching Real Genius, so I hope I didn't break the rules. Does this movie just get better and better???

  • @DrWindo I saw this movie a long time ago but never watched the credits to see who the artist was. This song definitely leaves an impression.

  • @DrWindo Yeah I couldn't find it on iTunes. I love Real Genius! "...do you ever have that dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sun god robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you?" Hahaha

  • @DrWindo that's sooooo funny because it's so true!!!! lol. anything val kilmer is solid bouillon

  • @DrWindo After watching Real Genius, this became one of my favorite songs!

  • I think I'm gonna cry. I've been looking for this song for years on just the "fallin' fallin" like. Thanks for posting it.

  • Whoa.......! I'd forgotten about this one. What a great tune.

    Two thumbs-up!

  • love this song

  • Thank you for posting this song, I can't find this song on iTunes OR on Pandora. Great song.

  • @kinofsimon I've been looking for it for some time myself...Watching Real Genius as I type this.

  • @kinofsimon I have it downloaded from years ago...I'd be glad to share with anyone who would like it.

  • @sfservice75 Are you serious about sharing it? I would be eternally grateful. Sorry about not replying sooner, I was never big on checking convos here on youtube. But yes, I would be very, very appreciative if you wouldn't mind sharing this song. How do we do this?

  • @kinofsimon Just give me your email addy and I'll send it to you. :)

  • Awsome band great tune and lyric

  • this song speaks to the inner yuppie in all of us. do we sell out or stand up for what we believe in. if you dont like this song its prob cause you dont get it.

  • Does this song remind anyone of the movie "Real Genius" ? I love that movie...

  • @gatorbas Well, since it was in the movie, yeah!

  • @gatorbas

    this song is the movie

  • @gatorbas- Real Genius is one of my favorites, I think I'll go watch that again right now actually!

  • @gatorbas

    I love the movie and the song as well :D

  • One of the best songs of all time!!!!!!!! I've listened to this hundreds of times.

  • Classic jam from a wonderful film. Thank you for posting!

  • I keep telling my sons and their friends who are in the 14 to 15 year old range most of todays music is junk. "You guys don't know how much great music was out there in the 80's" Here is a prime example. So much cool stuff and an exceptional one right here...

  • @Retro80sGuyHere

    Ditto!

  • Thank you comsat angels for makin a bad ass song. Im 26 and dig it

  • Yep that is why remember it from too "real genius" which was a kickass movie, like "wargames" entertaining and showing what a shithole this planet is if we let the powermongers and moneytgrabbers.the power, which we did.

    )O+->

  • YES! This is beyond awesome!
