It is important to remember a few things here... 1) The Reynolds Girls were under contract to PWL to sing what they were directed to sing. So, this song is not necessarily their opinion or their fault, 2) Pete Waterman was expressing his own views of how music had gotten into this sort of stagnant state of affairs in the late 80s and early 90s, and 3) It's still a cute and catchy song that you will catch yourself singing in the shower and on the elevator when you least expect it!
was rather silly of SAW to criticize Fleetwood Mac & the Stones in their lyrics seeing as the 2 were massivly popular compared to 2 unknown girls, i think that would've earned them alot of hate & partly lead to their downfall. But good on them & the Reynolds girtls for making some $, most people would do the same given half the chance.
Can someone tell me who The Reynolds Girls are? Fleetwood Mac need no introduction. Long live Fleetwood Mac. Whoever posted this video and actually likes it,is in need of some medical help. I'd rather Fleetwood Mac than Jack any day of the week.
@cairnsyboy22 lol The Reynold girls were a duo from the late 80's who had this song out back in 1989 i think it was. I loved this song back then and still love listening to it today, as for the medical help, i find vodka helps me to love it even more!
AHAHAHA A Fleetwood Mac, Heavy Metal & Rock & Roll is still going strong, .....and where are they? I don't know nor care, they JACKED themselves HAHAHAHAHHA!!!
God I love it when something makes you laugh out loud when you're feeling depressed!! At the end of the day they were never going to win any awards but you have to give it to them, they gave it a go, had a laugh, and did everyone else a favour!! (Wink)
These broads are living day to day between royalties of this one song while the Mac are still making millions touring the world to thousands of fans, ditto the Stones obviously. Haha.
Neither of them are working in McDonalds or anything else you're implying.
They were kids, having fun, and were making some money.
Why do you have to begrudge them that?"
Well said. It makes me laugh reading all the tired working in McDonald's jokes when all of the ones who made those comments and similar would have jumped at the chance to do what they did. Stop making it out like they created a monster. They were just kids, yes kids.
The joke is SAW were reviled by anyone over a certain age back then but they were making money left, right and centre (That's probably half the reason they were hated) And those haters probably would change the station when one of their songs came on in the radio in daytime but be dancing like diseased chickens to them in nightclubs while off their heads!!
My comment doesn´t say anything about my taste cause I never liked any song SAW produced as well, but you have to be honest. They obviously did attract a lot of people with their music because they scored a lot of number one hits.
The real idiots on here are the people who think that we didn't know that the jack was a dance. I say again - I would rather jack off to Fleetwood mac than listen to this shite.
Strange they didn't have the longevity of the Mac, Stones etc. Basically, lets be honest, the Reynolds Girls were just shit and we're "out of date" about 2 weeks after this came out. I'm sure I said, "big mac and fries" to one of these girls just the other day.....
@stradlin23 asif, they never worked in maccies as i know them, so thats just a load of rubbish, you're just trying to look cool but you dont realize how fat it makes you look - 'big mac and fries.' oh.. you forgot your drink
@stradlin23@stradlin23 Who cares if they were a one hit wonder. I'ts still a great track, and radios still play shitty music.
Btw, the producers of this track did a hellova lot of fucking great tracks back in the day. Probably more classics than fleetwood mac. (see btw how i'm not dissing the mac at all here)
Interesting that a year later SAW wrote "When you've got no music to get down and boogie/All you can do is step back in time". Yeah like what did they think some of us had been doing?! It wasn't that the music was bad necessarily. It was SAW's lyrics (I think usually by Mike Stock) that were so ruddy patronisingly simplistic. Oh yeah and the tunes got sooooooo samey and nursery rhymey. Mercifully along came Madchester and chart music was good again.
This song was written by SAW as a protest to all the people who slaged down their music to prove that any song they wrote would end up at number one. And it did! These girls were just used by them to make a point and after that were ditched as quickly as they showed up!
SAW were the biggest tossers in the industry, real wankers,me and my mates all hated them, i have no time for them with their crappy chart hits making shit for 10 year olds and simple minded adults.
Off Wiki... After their one hit, The Reynolds Girls were dropped by the label. A second single was released titled "Get Real" but this failed to chart and the duo disappeared into obscurity.
In a public poll conducted by Channel 4 in 2003, "I'd Rather Jack" was voted number 91 in a list of the 100 Worst Pop Records. In 2005, Waterman mentioned that the sisters returned to Dublin after their brief taste of fame
@lukevertiis You SHOULD remain faceless EWWWWWWWWWWWW ! Just remember I actually know them and have recently spoken to LInda who has a very nice life of the back of this..it is she who is laughing.
@TheSCOUSELAR .....well done, and if one of the girls is a friend of your, i hope she is doing brilliantly off this, pass on a big cheesy thank you, i guess she was " right place , right time "
I'll bet Mel Appleby (R.I.P.) and Kim Appleby would ever think they would be cloned into rhythmless white girls...lol... these chicks dance like they have a corn cobb stuck up there ass!!!
This record was the result of a very pushy and ambitious father. He harassed SAW to make this song with his two precious daughters, and here's the result.
They were set for oblivion because the sisters were nothing more than two very ordinary girls of the street.
If anyone remembers the interviews they gave on kids TV shows at the time you'll remember they were void of any personality and really didn't have a clue as to what was going on, they didn't even understand what the song was about
This is a fantastic song to irritate the neighbours with. Whenever I hear ganster rap or dubstep blasted at over 160 decibels, I turn this up to respond and they shut up quickly!
@GibbletsMcGinty ha ha ha funny as fuck!! i remember back in the day,song was good...but when the video came out and people saw the 2 women that sang it, the song completely bombed out of the charts...lol
@TheSuperfrack Yeah...the setting for the video perfectly compliments the ugliness of the singers too...I keep expecting Yosser Hughes from Boys from the Blackstuff or the three shell suited Scousers from Harry Enfield to join in the dancing......... Ay Ay Ay! Are you callin' dis a shite video? Yer I am! Are you tellin' me it friggin' isn't? Ay Ay Ay! All Rice! All Rice! Kee-yam down! Kee-yam down!
Fucking despise the lyrics and the mentality they display, but fuck me if the tune isn't regrettably (and annoyingly) catchy. The irony of the lyrics considering how old the song is by now, and the fact that the same mindset is still sadly common in a number of kids is just a fantastic bonus.
About as catchy as the noise made by a dentists' drill. Shite then and shite now. Still, anything currently being shat on us by Slime-on Cowell, Poo-ey Walsh etc will look as bad in twenty yeas' time
This is, without a doubt, the worst THING ever. I'd rather shoot myself in the head then listen to this aural rape. This video is horrible. This song is abominable and honestly, it makes me feel sorry for the UK and the human race. Just the fact that this thing was a hit at one point in time makes me sad. I know the 80's had it's share of bad songs, but THIS is the absolute worst. If you can name a worse song, please don't inform me. I don't even want to think that something could be worse.
@Psychokiller152 I agree. It's got the quality of being stamped on by a hoarde of maurdering elephants from the furthest reachest of the saranghtti. The girls are about as attractive as a walrus burping in your face at point blank range and the beat makes me want to hurl up my stomach until I puke so hard that it turns inside out.
The irony is that Stock, Aitken and Waterman, who wrote this song, are of the same generation as the Fleetwood Mac members. Of course they were more interested in getting a new generation's money, than in giving them an "identity" of their own.
Hypnotic bass line and cheesy electronic sounds of PWL studios (Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Sonia, Bananarama, Mel and Kim, Rick Astley). ! I'm a fan of them since 20 years ago when i first saw it on Super Channel in 1990. Played very often back then.
God I used to have this on one of those small records (that's so long ago now I can't remember what those records were called!). It's not a bad song I remember the blonde one looked sexy on the record cover.
I remember hating this at the time because they slagged off Pink Floyd, and my metalhead mate hated it for slagging metal. Many years later I realised Pink Floyd were pompous,overblown,and ridiculous, and the Reynolds Girls were right all along!
I'd sooner listen to this than Pink Floyd any day.
@welshfilmbuff Agreed. But also a very jarring musical statement from SAW, given that they tended to avoid any "message" music, opting instead for light, frothy fare. You're probably right that by that time SAW was facing backlash and on the defensive. I happen to love SAW's other stuff for good, simple, fun and silly cheese music. But this song is an all-time low.
@mathewjohn5174 apparently "I'd rather jack" means they would rather dance in the way they are doing, "to jack" apparently it's called. It's said that Pete Waterman reckoned at the time he could make anyone famous and that's why he laid this log.
Is the blonde one meant to be the guy? Damn she's ugly. I have seen Fleetwood Mac live three times and these talentless hacks cannot hold a candle to them. I think SAW only wrote this song because they were sick of the whole bsuiness and wanted to get out of their contract.
The people on here who slag them off are faceless little freaks who scour the web for things to slag off to make themselves feel somewhat bigger than they actually are..message to Linda..I hear you saw my sister a while ago..pop back in xx
Just thought I'd put some of you straight on a few things, Linda was my best friend at school, she went on to marry a doctor and still lives in liverpool, Aisling is now a nurse, their parents were not rich they lived in litherland ! We all went to a theatre school so it was no surprise that they jumped at the chance to make a record. They were NOT Irish, although their parents were ....
Wow, that 30 second clip on Singstar doesn't allow you to truly appreciate the awful cheesy awesomeness of this video. It's like someone turned on a Casio keyboard demo during happy hour.
"One of the primary elements in house dancing is a technique called jacking that came from Chicago and involves moving the torso forward and backward in a rippling motion, as if a wave were passing through it. "
No, "to jack" is to listen / dance to house music
One hit wonders or not this was one of the tunes of the day, cant understand most of these comments on here, must be from people that aint got a clue about the different generations. Id rather have this as a christmas no1 even today than any of this Black gangster pussy crap. Merry Christmas people
Everyone can keep their boring shit from this century. This song may be just above the bottom of the 80s pop barrel but it's still more listenable than the rubbish we've got now.
Haven't heard a decent NEW Rock band in a while and the Urban Scene is played out (Rap and R&B)
@DJRipvan I agree, it is damn cheesy this song but a bit of cheese never harmed anyone...I'd rather ''jack'' myself than the shit that's around now..Lady GaGa makes me feel nauseous!!
These girls don't look so bad. and I hope the reynold girls are happy. Now in this day and age, the mainstream, hip hop, pop, emo rock are taking over the airwaves, while true classics like metal is being left in the dust....Shame indeed.

The irony is that Stock, Aitken and Waterman, who wrote this song, are of the same generation as the Fleetwood Mac members. Of course they were more interested in getting a new generation's money, than in giving them an "identity" of their own.

Hypnotic bass line and cheesy electronic sounds of PWL studios (Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Sonia, Bananarama, Mel and Kim, Rick Astley). ! I'm a fan of them since 20 years ago when i first saw it on Super Channel in 1990. Played very often back then.

God I used to have this on one of those small records (that's so long ago now I can't remember what those records were called!). It's not a bad song I remember the blonde one looked sexy on the record cover.

I remember hating this at the time because they slagged off Pink Floyd, and my metalhead mate hated it for slagging metal. Many years later I realised Pink Floyd were pompous,overblown,and ridiculous, and the Reynolds Girls were right all along!
I'd sooner listen to this than Pink Floyd any day.

This song sounds more like SAW bitterly trying to slilence their critics, than any kind of generational outcry...
if that wasn't bad enough, the video is pure sandpaper for the eyes!
welshfilmbuff 1 year ago
@welshfilmbuff Agreed. But also a very jarring musical statement from SAW, given that they tended to avoid any "message" music, opting instead for light, frothy fare. You're probably right that by that time SAW was facing backlash and on the defensive. I happen to love SAW's other stuff for good, simple, fun and silly cheese music. But this song is an all-time low.

I remember this. As a then-impressionable 10-year-old, I thought this was pretty good.
But over 20 years later, SAW should be hung for this one. It's not up to the quality of their earlier hits.

mathewjohn5174 1 year ago
@mathewjohn5174 apparently "I'd rather jack" means they would rather dance in the way they are doing, "to jack" apparently it's called. It's said that Pete Waterman reckoned at the time he could make anyone famous and that's why he laid this log.

Is the blonde one meant to be the guy? Damn she's ugly. I have seen Fleetwood Mac live three times and these talentless hacks cannot hold a candle to them. I think SAW only wrote this song because they were sick of the whole bsuiness and wanted to get out of their contract.

Just thought I'd put some of you straight on a few things, Linda was my best friend at school, she went on to marry a doctor and still lives in liverpool, Aisling is now a nurse, their parents were not rich they lived in litherland ! We all went to a theatre school so it was no surprise that they jumped at the chance to make a record. They were NOT Irish, although their parents were ....

Wow, that 30 second clip on Singstar doesn't allow you to truly appreciate the awful cheesy awesomeness of this video. It's like someone turned on a Casio keyboard demo during happy hour.

"Are they singing about jacking off? "
No.
"One of the primary elements in house dancing is a technique called jacking that came from Chicago and involves moving the torso forward and backward in a rippling motion, as if a wave were passing through it. "
No, "to jack" is to listen / dance to house music

Everyone can keep their boring shit from this century. This song may be just above the bottom of the 80s pop barrel but it's still more listenable than the rubbish we've got now.
Haven't heard a decent NEW Rock band in a while and the Urban Scene is played out (Rap and R&B)
