IDLE EYES - Tokyo Rose

[terryberry48]

I love this song!

[AgentVX69]

I love to put on "Gone With The Wind" at about 55 minutes of the movie, listen to this song and watch the movie... It's emotional Bliss.... What a great song.

[ultrastark1]

[koolerpure]

[winstanley1958]

great song like to watch it every so often

[Shawndurand]

i wish rockband would release a canadiana track pack. wouldn't mind rocking out to this song.

[Hot80s]

they cant be idle eyes cause i just thought randomly of tokyo rose in my head decades later! & still love it.

[mofunzonecom]

music c'est wine

it ist better when it is aged

[MsSweetunes]

This video is kind of Retro, like some of the other great bands experimented in the 80s. Queen is another great band that created some really different videos in that era.

[MayhemKan]

... whoa

[TiroA]

Nice song, 80's the best

[nabestag]

Fantastic song! Thanks for posting!

[Yavor1986]

such a great song, so emotional

[kieser64]

You say Lady Gaga, I say Led Zeppelin

You say Hannah Montana, I say Beatles

You say Owl city, I say Deep Purple

You say Jonas Brothers, I say The Rolling Stones

You say Justin Bieber, i say Queen

You say Taylor Swift, i say Guns & Roses

95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop songs over and over. if your one of the 5% left who still listen to real music, thunb this up, then copy and paste it to least 5 video's. DONT LET THE SPIRIT OF ROCK&ROLL DIE

[keithbarclay007]

The fist at 2:47 is awesome.

[upfrontbear74]

Only heard this yesterday for the first time, and have to say its now one of my all time favorates ever, I have just seen on Amazon due to be released on June 27th by Wounded Bird records, Idle Eyes and Love's Imperfection the first 2 CDs by them, and Wounded Bird have also released Forward Your Emotions by One To One, god I wish was Canadian and had been growing up in Canada in the 80s early 90s, so much great music.

Otros Canadienses,...

temazo d su primer disco del 84'

[mrcanadaoso]

Good song this is, the title "Tokyo Rose", wasnt that the name for a World War 2 Japanese-American girl broadcaster Iva Toguri D'Aquino, arrested for treason after the war in 1945?

[hexen4u]

Does anyone know who the women are in the video!!!?!? They are all so gorgeous!

[ARandomProfile1]

the guns of black ops :)

[terryberry48]

the video quality is good for a VCR  tape:)

[terryberry48]

Thanks Kudtss this song is amazing, was this their only hit?

[assemblyguy]

What an awesome throwback to superb sounds of the 80s, thanks

[blader45bc]

Looks more like Mike Reno if Mike was slim

[aluluq]

Remember when you could dance to most Canadian bands in the 80's, except soft rock? lol

[8moody1]

I,m in a Canadian mood. Peace

[ricresch]

some people think kurdtss is actually Terry David Mulligan!!!

[kurdtss]

@ricresch thats too funny

[fixitnowmike]

Man, I miss the 80's. I'm just not into the crotch-grabbing garbage they have today

[LunaticEntrails]

Bands that write their own music,and play their own music???...how fu-ked up is that...next you'll be telling me that they were actually playing their own instruments...No bloody way!!!...God Bles the 80's something we'll never see again...real artists playing their own music.

[STNeish]

No one seems to make music like this anymore, it's all samples and drum beats these days. Man, I miss the 80s sometimes.

[pagazza]

This is cool than the blue train.

[79wylie]

what the hells with the loading on these now

[jimcanon1]

Haven't seen this in years- I had it on Beta

[79wylie]

songs like this should be on rockband game because if im gonna stink at the game at least i would like to stink at music id preferre to try and play instead of the junk on those games

[mrtools06]

an all time favorite

[MrNotbadyou]

I've only heard this song a few times in my life, most recently was a few days ago.

I like the music, very 80s but of course that's the point, and it's a good thing.

[PirateMrTyler]

kurdtss you are like my favourite person on Youtube

[cncdaddy]

@PirateMrTyler I heartily agree !!!!

[PirateMrTyler]

@cncdaddy The best music channel one could be subscribed to! for sure!

[dexterriley]

kurdtss..not sure if you are still adding more, do you know if idle eyes made a vid for two rivers or all day?

[kurdtss]

I haven't seen any other videos by them, not to say they don't exist

[fjislander]

This song reminds me of Spring of 85, I was madly in love with Dana Reny.

I wonder what happened to her

[00fart]

great. video. gonna share with my friends on face book. love the song. thanks.

[smegweevil]

Excellent! Thanks so much for putting this video up. The picture doesn't matter so much because the sound is perfectly clear.

[debowiec3]

Great 80's music!! Canada 1985!

[pcaddis2004]

I was 5 when this came out but I remember finding my mom's tape of it when I was about 12 and playing it over and over!

[ahvaimusicom]

my dad is the drummer! thats awesome!

[siennah99]

Still one of the best songs ever.

[houstonsatyr]

Ah! Canadian Rock - could always stand with the best of them

[jjpeterson1]

@houstonsatyr so true, this one is epic

[eastavi]

woah i love this song! is bette davis suposed to be in the video? cool :)!

[voosle]

i must have played this 1000 times in the 80s still a great song I wish they would do a modern version

[54spiritedwill54]

Great song

[circushead]

Great stuff!

I think these guys had another song I liked even more. Its video had some grainy footage of men swinging pick axes in it.

Ring any bells?

[travelspirit]

I'm so enjoying all the Can Rock posted here. I know every word. Thanks kurdtss for posting!

What is Tad Campbell doing now, anyway?

[trishtyrannes]

Still playing music still chilling and traveling

[bmrocks59]

i had forgotten about this song, nice to see some canadian bands on here... good song...

[kijijiman20]

least you can understand this music, love this song

[BadNews88]

Great UBER-MEAG RAVE FAVE o'mine from the 1980's

Thanx...

[Nibbay]

i have tads email we chat once in a while i'll ask him about the old school cd's/tapes

[pepperman03]

ANYONE out there know how to get their hands on CDs or even tapes of their first 3 albums? They were my absolute favourites when I was growing up, and their tapes wore out or got eaten in my old '72 Datsun tape deck. Used to drum along with every song and would love to have ALL of their stuff back in my collection. They (and fans) deserved such a better fate. Miss ya Tad.

[kingofallwhites]

Yeah this song should be available and I haven't found it yet either.

[kozseluham]

Have you tried E-Bay or Craiglist my friend ?

[unstabledavid]

always lked this song

[jimbojime]

video is great- what we really need are cd's of the first 2 albums. Help us out Tad- get 'em to iTunes or something so we can get a non-lp mp3. Love your music.

Jim in Wisconsin

[Nibbay]

look at Tad rip it up. great song

[fjislander]

I think this song was popular in spring of 85. The memories it brings back. I wonder what ever happened to Dana

[chijchijchij]

Wow! Love this song! It's way older than me but oh well =) my friend's dad has this on record XD

[lilmisskinky101]

Sicq ass song lol :)

[SpillyRich]

RIP Scotty Hall (Lead guitarist)

[cne08]

Cool song.

[Jeffrey12345678910]

Man, every Canadian band from the 80's was so goddamn good

[Delisle4]

Hi Jeffrey,

Growing up in the 80s I never really paid attention to this fact as a kid in Montreal but looking back, you are absolutely right. There was such good Canadian music back then. This song really takes me back. Thanks for pointing this out...eh!

[weedmanus]

@Jeffrey12345678910 Canadians hold THE greatest values on the planet - Americans see dollar signs, Canadians see the future - err....they used to! : (

[fsstogre]

What happened to these guys ? Met them at a party in Vancouver back then ..

[Fersommling]

Anyone know whether this was released in the States?

[ezri99]

I saw these guys in '85 here in Nanaimo, the other acts were Powder Blues and Chilliwack...great set up

[rookee5]

great song!

[icm1970]

Thanks for uploading. I noticed you taped it off an "80s weekend" from MuchMusic. Even that takes me back to the days when that channel still had some semblance of entertainment. Enough of the stupid f*&$ing reality modeling shows and movies aimed at 14 year girls that are presented as "program content" today.

[Metalwarlock78]

that bass guitar tone sounds sweet

[bubbasong]

Man, was life different when this song came out. Great memories and pop.

[19717600]

COOL...Good memories !

[studazz88]

haha Uncle Tad!

Where's these other videos you speak of??

Me and Duncan are currently searching for them.....?

[blackcoffy83]

OMFG !! Great song and vid. This was taped off the 80's weekend on Much ! I thought I was the only one that used to watch the 80's weekend for the sole purpose of taping favorite songs.

[redhotfool]

I can check with my sister. Also, you might want to check out their website.

[johnysitcom]

love it......classic..brings  back memories.

[moogahnah]

Excellent track,it's good of you to post it :)

[DTHMTL1]

Saw these guys live at Expo 86 in Vancouver BC.

[JohnnyKutz]

Were Prince Charles and Lady Di there?

[yummytummy2006]

me too: hot, mid-summer night, at that open-air venue at the far West end of the grounds, where the RCMP Musical ride was. We went to Fogg on the Bay afterwards, and Brian Adams was sitting next to us.

[yummytummy2006]

(agreeing with previous post-er about seeing Idol Eyes at Expo 86)

[redhotfool]

great song - my sister is married to Tad's first cousin Mike

[THEJUSCUZSHOW]

Where are you? What are you waiting for? This is not a race Are you trying to spend my time, spend time You in the corner, come closer I can see your face I can see it in mine Oh I see it in mine You tell a story like Tokyo Rose I got the picture from the stains on your clothes Didn't they tell you 'bout the shape I'm in? In this condition of carnal sin

[THEJUSCUZSHOW]

Confuse me, try to talk

Like those stains on the sidewalk

It's what she said, gets in my head

The sun's up, you wake up

That beauty at the bus stop

Turns my head, go back to bed

You tell a story like Tokyo Rose

I got the picture from the stains on your clothes

Didn't they tell you 'bout the shape I'm in?

In this condition of carnal sin

[THEJUSCUZSHOW]

We'll be alright, we'll be alright

We'll be alright, we'll be alright

I tried to warn you

I tried to warn you

We'll be alright, alright

You tell a story like Tokyo Rose

I got the picture from the stains on your clothes

Didn't they tell you 'bout the shape I'm in?

In this condition of carnal sin

[cata2027]

Kick Ass song! Canadian music rocks! (lovingly raising my lighter from Buffalo NY) :)

[ztech1957]

Yeah, no shit

[THExBENJ]

FUCKIN A!

[THEJUSCUZSHOW]

Neil Peart Is The Best!

[unrealryan]

[lamma03]

[Outdorsman]

I had the tape...

Thanks for the memories.

Old memories...

[rajveerbal]

hello

i was looking for this song from 10 year

never find!

thanks millions!!!

[Kalenedral]

The older brother of Tad Campbell, the lead singer, was my teacher my last year of elementary school, in Vernon BC, Canada.

[ephysdad]

What school in Vernon? I went to Hillview, Seaton, Kal and VSS.

[krazykritik]

..his one I dedicate to sweet Leslie Kwon..from the summer of '81..Calgary Alberta..the sexiest girl I ever had the pleasure......

[chillinguy911]

sweetest song ever!

[jadekoolkat]

Awesome song and video, I had to search the web to remember the band name, but I knew the lyrics.

[rockyflow]

I first met Tad at a Ice Rink In South Africa before the band started Great Guy just found him again after sooooooooooooooo many years also wish they would do a new album x

[A12R12M12]

haha my uncle was in this band.

[6skeevis6]

Awesome video posting, man. Hardly ever hear this one anymore.

[brendahaley]

It would be fanatastic if you had something new. I know that you have many amazing songs just waiting to come out. We are waiting too. :-)

[jamiewet]

I am disappointed I can't buy their music on itunes and everywhere else it says they are out of print- so I cannot even buy their music in the store.

[perfectyouth]

Where the hell is Bruce MacKenzie!

[WALTKRIEG]

That song is good and these ladies from old age movies are very beautiful.

[TrainmasterCurt]

I loved this song growing up, so cool, it has a unique sound to it, and the message is about a single-man who has a sex problem. They play this song on 999BOBFM in Winnipeg

[manitowaning]

Hey, anyone out there have their Blue Train video? If you think this is good, which it is, you'd be amazed at Blue Train - from around 1989.

[Tadpolio1]

Heh there. We remastered the more popular Idle Eyes tracks including Blue Train and added saxophone......and will post the old video hopefully with the new music. Thanks for your interest:)-Tad

[rockyflow]

Waiting !

[soccerkid30000]

my brother's friend's dad is the keyboard player!!!

[javelin1010]

Great under rated Cancon along with Sheriff, Body Double. The 80's were good but you should have been there in the 70's.Wonderful vocalization and harmonies on this tune. Thanks for posting. Remembrances of the tv show "Good Rockin' Tonight".

[djmodernroq]

what a gemm! a really 80's nu-wave gem! Excellent post!

[OlymPigs2010]

Such a rare and great tune and so well done! It hurts to think of all the really God Awful Crap that now passes for either music or musicians like Our Lady Peace,the Bare Naked Ladies and Rush to name a few!

[chillinguy911]

rush was around b4 these guys probly...and neil pert is the best drummer in the world....

[zingaman]

Tad Campbell is my cousin (2nd I think)- I'm so proud!

[captainrayp]

wow over 20 years old, great stuff

[carmencitamexicali]

I LOVE THE 80'S! I DOOOO!

[djraf2003]

It's so easy to get bogged down with the same overplayed 80's. This is a real treat & a great find!

[ACD605]

The great B side of the 80's lol "MARSDEN"

[zartok35]

Damn, thats a good song!

[fundiver4u]

in this condition of carnal sin... luv it thanks for posting this
