OMD - Maid of Orleans 1982

[ashclarke44]

Why does it stop in the same place? very annoying!! sort it please

[dieselphil59]

AAAAA+++++,brilliant brings back a lot of memorys,FANTASTIC.

[lyneham69]

@dieselphil59 Yes same here, still got the album, i bought it for £4.95.

[matelot95]

Wor Brenda!

[ironmanc5]

@matelot95 is it? well spotted ....

[chiachy35]

one word,MASTERPIECE!!!

[heathroi]

not that great a song defiantly not timeless but interesting at the time - a symbol of French independence - horse turd all she is is a trope dragged by the parisian elite to get the nations of france, bretons, gasgons, normans etc to stop the invader from cleaning their clocks then when the emergency is over part of the mechanism to keep Paris's hands tightly on the reins

[teddyballgame406]

Christ, this is good.

[JezusIlove]

@teddyballgame406

And Christ IS good.... :-)

[Moontazra]

A spiritually rousing call of arms!

[molleke51]

prachtige song,

[jason69332]

you dont think god is real?

[teddyballgame406]

@jason69332

Man invented god before he invented us.

[daionmugennz]

@jason69332 jason , of course he's not real. God is an idea. Kind of a good idea in some ways, but certainly not real.

[OurnameisLegion66]

Wot teh difference between Noah's ark and Joan of arc?? Noah's ark wuz made of wood, Joan was Maid of Orleans..............er, I guess you had to be there when a said it :(

[aramanth]

Architecture and Morality & Dazzle Ships were great albums. Both albums were daring and new and still they are timeless now!!

[curvalecce]

Joan of Arc,saint and heroine of French independence. Her beautiful life and message have been insulted by many, but surely the worst are those who suggest she would not as fought as bravely against the 'master-race' in the 1940s as she did against the English in the 1420s. Ne veut que la France.

[PaladinHludwig]

@curvalecce hower Jeanne D'Arc was guided by the divine hand, so if she was meant to be born in another time to free her people then it will happen.

She recovered from an arrow to the chest, then leads the charge overwhelming the English stronghold. Joan was definitely holy warrior.

[rkyddd]

tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Mesklet]

One of my favourite songs!

Greetings from Switzerland

[buster1and6]

timeless,classic song.

[19delorean71]

great electronic band from the 80s

[SeaOfGold]

Beautiful,beautiful piece of music, classic song... thank you for posting!

[bowenblanket]

EPIC



[game4all66]

Gay or not... certainly had more ambition an inner strength than most men..

[aaronfromhastings]

Don't forget Joan was gay.

[p5yco]

@ralletsartois. Shut it sourface. There are so many remarks to be made in reciprocation. But I won't as I don't dwell!

[chiachy35]

masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pettaklumpen]

wrong song title

[Toffeeboyish]

chrissybeeable - What a shameful comment. I suppose they should have stayed and been slaughtered like in 1916. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Great song though, despite being written by a 'coward'

[Toffeeboyish]

Rachegotter - You might be right about Joan or Arc, but the French invited the British Army back in 1914, and then again in 1939, and for a third time in 1944, so they obviously got over it. Perhaps you can.

[NWFloridaPrepper]

@Toffeeboyish BURN!!!!!!!!



[dartom511]

@Toffeeboyish A u nas w POLSCE ten utwór był dopiero w 1990

[chrissybeeable]

French..............Wankers.19­40.



[Hornet0biker]

@aloreburne poor little fool.

[mrdee11091]

wonder post magical song the singer always reminds me of the guy out of american pie movies the apple pie man lol

[Rachegotter]

Love it when the brits try to emulate Jeanne d'Arc, who, at the tender age of 17, kicked their army out of France.

[homeraitch]

@Rachegotter Shame she didn't stick around.  Maybe a 17 year old girl was just what the French needed to kick the Nazi army out of France, nobody else homegrown seemed capable. :-)

[NWFloridaPrepper]

@homeraitch in fairness, there were like 100000 brit troops i think in france and they had to swim back home ... sorta. No one could stop Germany's quick strike.

[homeraitch]

@NWFloridaPrepper You are absolutely right. My comment was tongue in cheek. I am aware that the resistance had some of the bravest souls ever. As you probably know there is some English/French ribbing going on. Usually both sides take it in good spirits. For example our food and trains are crap. I just think those who feel the need to go back to the days of Joan of Arc to score a point are maybe a little too involved. Wherever you are from good on you.

[cowle70]

@NWFloridaPrepper The BEF consisted of over a quarter of a million men.300,000 allied men were "strategicly evacuated" back to Britain in just about anything that floated and could make the trip across to Dunkirk!

[MrMarshMallowMan2012]

@Rachegotter

Love it when non-Brits (who view the Brits as enemies) try to act as if all British people are as patriotic and over-confident, possibly even ignorant, as somewhere like say America, when in most cases - the opposite is true, the majority of us hate our own history and the relevant bad choices as much as our enemies do. Especially younger Brits who tend to actually sympathize with the people our ancestors hurt.

[NWFloridaPrepper]

@MrMarshMallowMan2012 yeh, all bad things were invented and originated where anglo's are. no where/one else just anglo. America is an extension of britan anyhway and how did rome get away with what they did to brits? atleast americans are still able to have some independent thoughts

[MrMarshMallowMan2012]

@NWFloridaPrepper Yeah. Just realized how much my original comment generalized Americans, I HAVE actually seen American people who were a lot like British people in terms of their place in history (good and bad) and how they felt. But there IS a patriotism about/apparent in Americans that doesn't seem to be as strong in many other places.

the "ignorant" aspect of the comment was mainly the people who just think "well they deserved it..."

[StrykerX12]

This song always reminds me of the wonderful movie Joan of arc(1999).

[chrissybeeable]

Days of my youth.

[gigiciucurel]

Super!!

[piperbrigadista]

 Masterpiece song....

[barnyboot]

Brenda Hope

[SuperTomo1965]

Yet another brilliant song from OMD, this why the 80s and synthesiser pop were so good, it was a dawn of the new wave of music and I am so glad that I was around to truly appreciate it.

[MrPal1970]

proper tune



[vansijll]

Awesome video, awesome song, it still gifs me goosebumbs.

Love it. - WORD!

[lostinbass4]

Brenda from Auf wiedersehen Pet!

[dickweeeeeeeeeed]

Why brenda pet man what you doin on that herse like man woman man.

[futuristlimited]

One of the most amazing groups ever.

[Bm1352]

nostalgie

[hpdelight]

i have loved omd since i cant remember when. saw them in coolangatta 1982or 83. just fucking brilliant. nothing more can be said1

[dizzytitch1]

The band I play with do good covers of OMD stuff. We are older devotees to this band. Our band is called OMP (Orthopaedic Manoeuvres in the Park)

[NKismynextgoal]

I was 8 or 9 when I heard this song for the first time. As I had no knowledge of English in those days, this song was even more mysterious than it already was. And it has the same effect on me as on many others here...it throws me back in time. It brings memories of playing with my Lego men on the ledge of a low window while outside snow flakes drifted down, drinking hot chocolate milk and having a wooden sword made by an uncle. This song is a time machine!! :-)

[malloney]

like most people who can remember this song first time around,such fantastic memories..thankyou

[timnsueuk]

GOD do i feel old i was in my prime when this came out n I LOVED IT

[gemciu83]

The best years in my life ? 80's !!!!! :)

[barbarian981]

Not even 200K views. Disgrace. And, even worse, five lost souls clicking the wrong place.

[pointsonthei]

in my youth, hypnothized

[Ecristaldi]

I remember this song perfectly, 15 years ago when my uncle did his bodybuilding presentation with it.. powerfull song!

[dudleyguy42]

Brilliant song and what a bonus as it features the gorgeous Julia Tobin, sexy lady.

[storminorm631]

still sounds awesome after first hearing it 30 years ago!

[storminorm631]

Still sounds awesome today after first hearing it 30 years ago the snare drums at the end get me everytime!

[andrewd6830]

This is one of my favourite OMD songs,the vid is superb. :)

[TheHitDetector]

It is the stunning beauty of women like Julia Tobin and the dynamic excellence of Maid of Orleans by OMD that provide the catalyst, the oxygen of life - the exhilarating emotional inspiration that can drive men to achieve the near to impossible things in this beautiful world......This is a masterpiece

[bowenblanket]

OMD's best ever. Only a few bands come up with a special piece of brilliance. OMD are one of those few.

[TheHitDetector]

Questa è una bella canzone... la musica è meravigliosa e anche più di questo, c'è quella bella Dea Julia Tobin..... Che bella donna... Questa è la suprema eccellenza

[TheHitDetector]

This flows with magic and perfection and excellence all in one....This is a master piece...and with the added bonus of the Goddess like beauty of Julia Tobin....At first glance I thought it was Demi Moore.....smile....Excellence

[jordanxstudios]

Joan looks like Demi Moore in parts of this vid, but she is a truely stunning young lady whomever she is.

[zetechats]

another omd classic that truly blows you away. music as it should be.

[rugbygirl34]

i love how we are still listening to these guys in 2011!

[sixchildren100]

One of my ALL time heros Joan Of Arc....Class,Class nothing but CLASS R.I.P.Joan you have ALWAYS inspired me and ALWAYS will (((..

[jdp49]

Sou fissurado nos 80, ainda mais porque vivi esta época. Mas tem lances da produção cultural que não peguei.O OMD foi um deles. Tá muito interessante conhecê-los agora!

[MrPedromadboy]

adoro esta clase de vídeos de los 80,los hecho mucho de menos...no eran técnicamente espectaculares pero la música era tan buena que no desmerecían en absoluto

[kevdec69]

This song is truly amazing! A noble French person, Joan of Arc, represented by a marvelous & wonderful song. Châpeau!

[yippitydodah]

@kevdec69

Catholiques / Protestants. Un problème. Hmmmm

[osiris1079]

que gran cancion!!!! ,!!! que buenos recuerdos me trae !!!!

[kkapalk1]

This group were astounding with brilliant hits. This one, Enola Gay, Souvenir to name a few.

[sirtinycreep]

I always thought of this as a Christmas song.

[vampkid95]

what can you say all these musicians where tallented in this era and put out great music and IMEAN ALL OF THEM ON THE ELECTRONIC SIDE OF IT BRILLIAN DONT HERE MUSIC LIKE THIS NOW BRING BACK THE OLD BUT GOOD STUFF JOHN THE SCOTT

[sixchildren100]

@vampkid95 Agree O.M.D...Pure CLASS (((...

[Kaldhore]

I had completely forgot about this song, just came accross it while watching Enola Gay. Amazing song I remember it well now, listented to it on the radio again and again.

[yippitydodah]

JESUS! I feel it in my bones now. Honest. I am not making it up. And it will start in a couple of weeks. LOW, fecking LOW temperatures. Get your salt in for your paths, and stock up on dried rice by the ton, or canned rice pud, and bags of frozen veg and tinned meat and fish.

[yippitydodah]

jumpers for xmas, from aunties kisses, that disgust you.

BUT, it is said this winter will be a bit parky, so get your aunties knitting, I say, and chop that wood when fuel runs out. Six foot in January some are saying. eight foot I reckon. Where's my plumber kit again - Icould be coining it again.

[BritishScallylad]

a song for the eternity

[xabi1966]

Impresionante... me emocioné en su día y sigo emocionándome hoy en día también....

[gisbert1970]

du warst ein engel auf erden nur hat es keiner erkannt

[alaannao2]

my favorite song from many years ago

[Bergysot]

when music had a music bergysot

[deputydogish]

The first part of the video was shot at Brimham Rocks which is around four miles from Fountains Abbey, where the main piece of footage was shot, in the beautiful countryside near Harrogate , North Yorkshire.

[Yrrats]

@deputydogish Really!? We visited Fountains Abbey this summer, beautiful indeed (I'm Dutch).

[PettiteRoseMarie]

impresionante,sin palabrassssssss

buena subidaaaaaaaa 10******

[ooooTheEducator]

A song that is suitable as an ideal accompaniment to meet and fall in love. wow

[ooooTheEducator]

Ein Lied, das als optimale Begleitung zum Kennenlernen und Verlieben geeignet ist. Wow.

[mufc99ok]

[Schlagerschnulzen]

Eines der besten 80er Tracks das zeitlos immer noch Gänsehaut verursacht...einfach nur schööön :)

[Pauliniaxxx]

"Dziewica orleańska"

Gdyby Joanna d'Arc miała serce

Czy ofiarowała by je w podarunku

Takim jak ja, którzy tęsknią

Za legendą,którą była

Miałem marzenia aby rozdać jej serce

Jak sierota w drodze

Otoczona przez nią szczególną opieką.

Ona złożyła swe ciało w mogile.

[TheKenfig]

Looks like a quiet night in a castle with two Gayboys in silly pullovers. Funny how videos were made with silly stories in which the Pop stars often looked embarrassed self-conscious due to having no acting skills

[Choefoe]

@TheKenfig That,s because this was a time music video,s just existed,MTV started to broadcast in 1983! Launged the same time as Madonna,perfect timing for her! before that musicians only had to do what was expected of them..MAKE MUSIC... not pretend to be an actor. And stil not every musician is.

[TheKenfig]

Wish it was 1982 now, that's all I did was go running and get pissed on lager every night ; felt great and looked great staying slim with no hangovers or responsibilities, aged 19. What a life eh ?

[nowave7]

Good song. But I have to say that similarities to Atmosphere, by Joy Division is astonishing!

[Deano647]

WTF ... MARTIN'S drumming, not Andy. head/palm

[Deano647]

Andy McCluskey wrote this one. The melody is super sweet and a huge hook, but Andy's drumming on this track is insanely great. I can't tell if it's percussion or electronic, but either way it slays me.

[JehanneAnetta]

This is my favorite song by Jeanne - reminds me of the town of Orleans - when I walked it - maybe not in winter, in May, but the pouring rain ...

[ffm20zaheri]

who directed this video ?

best sold single in germany 1982

[sportomanokin]

@stapfi02 she was in a very good and successful comedy series called "auf wiedersehn pet" that ran for quite a few years in the UK.

[tearnano247]

I wonder if Neville knew what his wife was doing whilst he was in Germany.
