[144000V]

Home land security migh think they are terrorist be careful we are under tiranny now,this country is now like fucking north korea SOPA is warching and PIPA is looking at your ip and becarefull with google they can send your information to facebook and yake without a trial to guantanamo on NDAA if you you complain they water board you and is nothing your lawyer can do I think this can be illegal to listen to music if is not aproved by TSA but everything is fine people think they are stik free.

[MrAirborne75]

@144000V kind of babbling aimlessly aren't you? If that's how you feel, then the resu of us american's don't need ya.

[Whoizcasper]

They don't make them like this anymore

[spermee1955]

[chris080270]

APP hit #16 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 3/14/81.  Thanks for posting it! :)

[osnag1000]

This describes the political process perfectly! "Do you believe it?" "Now that all of the children have grown up and no ONE gives us a damn."

[chicostroke1]

1:52 to 2:57 the best interlude in the story of music

[archie977]

i cant wait till the day we see people kill addvertisers randomly . nice song thnx for posting

[egurzi]

let me explain it. i am dying in catch ups arms. 

[newspapertaxis1]

Alan Parsons was a great engineer he engineered ABBEY ROAD!!

[respectingbat]

Wow have not heard this song for almost 30 years , am wondering if this is on their volume 1 greatest hits .

[r2blank2]

Songs titled "Games People Play" tend to be good.

[kja427]

It would have been really cool if they had done a live performance of this tune back in 1981 when this tune came out; That would've really rocked!

[Midnightryder7]

this song brings me back to the days playing atari in my parents basement.(missle comand)..having this song blast through the speakers..and waiting for my friends to come over so we can go skate boarding

[WM3DAS]

I f*ckin' love this song.

[matthanten18]

nobody gives us a damn!!!



[72744037]

Thanks for clarfiying the time line.

[BDBAWarlock]

Awesome group Awesome song.

[ECWJoe]

I thought this was from the early 1980's.

[carloskillerbiatch]

@ECWJoe gta? LAWL no is like from the 70, becouse alan parsons was something related with the beatles LOL, but after the beatles take their own ways he did this (i'm not saying he is a beatle)

[72744037]

when was this album made? i miss those days driving home in my car.

[Njoysum]

@72744037  approx. '77-79

[mdhokie2007]

@72744037  The Turn of a Friendly Card album came out in early 1980. This song was popular in 1980. "Time" came out in 1981.

[jnssnable]

@NormacHC why was that comment spam??

[jakejohnsonwwe]

14 people don't play games

[SirVladHarkonen]

needs more cowbell

[dylanm312]

@SirVladHarkonen lol! "I've got a fever, and the only thing that'll cure it is more cowbell!"

[Misstaylor441]

Have kids, you feel this way. But you love her and stay with her. Love this song.

[rafaelmrbean]

[KIMORID]

BRASIL - Brasil, o país mais maravilhoso do mundo e eu, um garoto importando dos EUA, caro, big money, discos do AP. Triuvirat, Jean Luc Ponty, Genesis, Jarre, kreftuwerlk, enfim, bela década de 70 e 80.Beijão.

[joelllamas69]

if you listen carefully this is the prelude of the greatest album ever Thriller

[234helenrose]

...now that all the children are grown up.

[hopedj360]

the best part is at 4:25 when you click replay

[iamkilla213]

@hopedj360 you gotta love it the most badass solo



[MisterBouncyBounce]

@SamanthaFoxyLady you're probably already spending your life in a dream world.

[warren3427]

Right on! give me the sweet innocence of supposed riske disco and olde rap anytine

[ooshmay67]

i am 44 yrs. old and i remember this song from that time , it was a awesome time , youth/ party= good time

[vilane421]

@ooshmay67

Lucky you... I can't go a night without listening to neighbors playing garbage. You would think certain listeners supports pedophilia when kids like Justin Beiber become sex icons. If I ever see Michael J Fox, I'm stealing his time machine...

[YashaOrBinyamin]

Great memories , Very emotional to hear. I can feel the era and smell the good smell of the time.

[avidbookreader]

This song is epic.

No, correction: The whole "The Turn of A Friendly Card" album is epic. Timeless classic.

It's APP's best album, imho.:)

[sharbearize1]

all these unnesseary games for years when you couldve been to the point years ago. wasting time. i think your more into just me ,her, them and everybody.im losing my mind and my patience. whats a girl to do?

[sharbearize1]

all these unnesseary games for years when you couldve been to the point years ago. wasting time.

[1dookdevilsfan]

Great tune! Where did music go from here? So many little nuances in this tune make it so dynamic ....something that is missing completely from the crap on the radio nowadays.

[TheScorps3]

FLASHBACK !!!!!!!!

[Iziriful]

j'adoreeeeee toute mon adolescence ouaouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Iziriful]

j'adoreeeeee 

[prober45]

a dozen lonely trolls found this while looking for hip hop or some rap crap I guess

[Hellvistopholes]

SHEESH!! - I loved this song as a 12 year old kid. Now I'm 42 and it's is the story of where I'm at EXACTLY!!! Nice to hear it again after all those years :)

[tartredarrow]

OMG I got chills from the first line and I was crying by the second verse.

[NoobTuber10000]

Gay people play! lolololol...sorry.

[Misstaylor441]

The guys one floor below us in our dorm tower played this song over and over. Blasted it out their window. Strange thing is thatt the song never got old.

[ritagaring1]

love this song...so true



[VASILIKI751]

enjoy the music and stop the pointless comments...what people do in their lives is their right as long as they dont hurt us....

[sweetgypsy100]

Thanks T for sending this to me--haven't heard this in years!! forgot all about it--great tune! Thanks again!! :)

[7466309change]

Eletric song here was real good how they did it.

[3245virg]

@hospitalbedpan , No but I am the type of person that appreciates the use of the expression sheesh...

[pjstuckart]

Alan Parsons best work was engineering Dark Side of the Moon!

[3245virg]

I always thought it was "gay people play" HA!

[hospitalbedpan1]

@3245virg what are you 12 years old?

OMFG the word gay I must laugh!!!!

Sheesh.... are you the type of person that laughs when someone makes whoopie cushion fart noises?

[spacecoyote909]

Great song...Love the '80's....we're leaving...going further north where people are real...hell yeah!!!!

[MrTimjd123]

He used to be a studio engineer for many Beatles songs.

[rock1musician]

A true fan of Rock and Roll will have these three albums in their collection:

1. The turn of a friendly card

2. Eye in the sky

3. I robot

These are essential, mandatory and required!!!

[egurzi]

p.s. nobody gives a flying fuck. a ton of bricks or scarred dice. trust its not just all one big brothel.

[7466309change]

this rocks my night.

[paulamcallister]

[riggs100]

Enjoyable material...

[71giovana]

Me encanta este tema, beso!!

[luvtotruck]

Real fuckin music here. yet a shame when people mention great guitarists even though he did not fire off 10 min. solos or play flashy it is a fuckin shame nobody ever cites Ian Bairnson his tight hooks were a vital part of APP sound:-)

[djconquest]

I have this album framed haning on my wall.

[skorcha]

my pops used to wear this record out front & back... LOVED concept albums

[briandolce]

does anyone know the rap version of this? who its by? i cant find it and its driving me nuts haha, the chorus is sung by a girl in the version im talking about.

[Baritone45]

@briandolce Most of the people here enjoy MUSIC. Therefore they wouldn't give a damn about the rap version. Just sayin'.

[edwardprzydzial]

let's see them write shit this good today. not. ;)

[MrVampiredog]

@edwardprzydzial YES GREAT SONGS. LADY GAGA STINKS

[MrWallySD1]

Cool

[Super4417]

This song is totally awesome!! Still listen to it on vinyl on my Klipsch LaScala speakers. Doesn't get much better than that.

[hellsbellspapa]

Good song from a good musical project. Memories of when it came out too (I was already a teenager -- time DOES fly!). Thanks!

[MrJz51086]

10 people don't know where to go from here

[MrMotownmanny]

@MrJz51086 You said it!!  = )

[yurianne07]

@MrJz51086 they were also promised the moon and the stars....

[jman4208]

@MrJz51086 FLASH FM! FLASHY FLASHY!!

[MrWoodHimself]

I'm 16 and I just found a bunch of APP in my uncles box of vinyls. I have never listened to them before. I am so glad I found those records.

[LocomotiveEngineer2]

This is the song that started my love of APP. That was back in June '81. 30 years ago now! Times have certainly changed since then, but this song sounds as great and 'fresh' as ever! Congrats to Alan and Eric!

[ghiecasaclang]

GTA VCS flash fm

[StanBennet]

They played the hell out of this song when it came out and no 80's stations seem to get around to playing it? What's up with that?

[27wingnut]

Always loved the Alan Parsons Project......

[TheMossad100]

If you have ever seen the T.V.show "MONK" it is clear that the "Randy Disher project" is a complete reference to the Alan Parsons Project.

[outoworkdreamer]

@TheMossad100 ha! yeah, i noticed that the other night. that guy is funny :)

[TotallyOutOfTouch]

What a great song!! I just fell in love with it!

[DaveWollenberg]

The APP hit #16 in Billboard, 3-14-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Eric Woolfson, and, Shalom.

[Cazkumali]

I believe this song was released in 1981

[codern]

@Cazkumali twas indeed

[PimpThe478]

This is the best Polish song I've ever heard.

[PimpThe478]

POLAND.

[TechMaven]

Every once in a long while, I think of a long lost song like this...so I search it on youtube! Radio, for the most part, does suck these days.

[DRpretorius39]

10 idiots hit the dislike button...so why were they here listening in the first place??? RETARDS!

[RealVerdad]

Alan Parsons Project(APP) is not completely forgotten in the U.S.. But, you have to listen to classic rock stations to hear them. Greetings from North Carolina, USA.

[masquenada8]

I do not need anybody.

[MegaKoolieo]

@masquenada8 If thats your opinion :P

[Bobn70e]

[Hellfire5500]

excelente recuerdo de los 70's !!

[78rohan]

thanks Mr. Parsons

[daniel61363]

@copenhusker only the first three three or four albums are worth having

[arkady714]

Hearing this song again after all this time brings back incredible memories of the winter 1980 - 81. What a fabulous time to be young.

[Broblem12]

An awesome song!!

Argh! Country blocks annoy me, especially when it only happens with good music!

[1958boomergirl]

I totally and intensely LOVE THIS SONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG­GG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sylonth]

The first time I heard this song was at the Park Street Station on the Green Line in Boston, Massachusetts in the in January of 1981 and I thought......"I have to buy that album!".....one of my favorite albums of all time..

[MegaKegHead]

OK, OK, OK

I love this song!

[clifbuel]

A very under rated artist with mega talent.Just crank it up you'll hear the genius flow through the music.OH YEAH!!!!!!

[totaltomek3d]

FLASHING FLASHING FLASH FM

[baseballminero]

[timetravellingone]

awesome song, beginning sounds a bit like a kansas song

[driver76fan]

Alan Parsons 4L!

[dolphinbuc]

I don't care how old you are,but this never stales.

[TheEarthforge]

lol at the "land of the free" commenters. I honestly never hear this on the American radio, and have to rely on the classical station for tolerable music. I have to scavenge to find good bands like these.

[ladyfromkansas]

Love this!

[bolmsp]

great song ty !!!

[64adventure]

another good reason to stay single!!!!!!!!!!!!

[64adventure]

[orioleman5]

Freedom isn't free my friend; many have paid for us to live as we do with thier very lives!! Regardless of what the rest of the world may think or say; we are free to do as we choose within the law.No machinegun toting guards or walls keep us in. Land of the Free and home of the brave!! God bless America&all she stands for!!

[iambernig]

My fave song from the Alan Parsons Project!

[fuckoffndie1]

aint heard this in so long still know all the words.great fucking band....

[orioleman5]

Jesus I am so glad to live in the home of the brave and land of the free where there are 1000's of choices for radio and many are listener programmed :D I'm just saying!!

[Love4SK]

@orioleman5 , land of the pseudo free

[WEREWOLF1981FULLMON]

RECUERDO K ESTA CANCION LA PONIAN DE FONDO EN UN ANUNCIO DE LA VOLKSWAGEN, PARA SER MAS ESPECIFICO, CUANDO SALIO LA "CARIBE"

[DaveWollenberg]

5 folks don't like to play games in the middle of the night. Billboard's #66 song of '81. The project hit #16 in the US. How'd they do in the UK? God bless!

[jimraw1]

A great song from my favorite APP album. What I love about Parsons is that the albums are real albums - songs that all fit in with a theme and concept rather than just a collection of songs. Really I'm stunned that someone would have the idea to create an album based around compulsive gambling and produce such a masterpiece.

[tyme4mike]

Prophetic in nature to a degree that is almost incomparable in the music world. I started listening to this in my teens and now I'm almost 50..I've listened to it a hundred + times over 30+ years wondering what it meant..and it became clearer and clearer as I got older..and all I can seem to imagine..and all I can seem to see..is games people play in the middle of the night...

[elvinee1]

I agree with everyone who thinks this is one of the coolest songs ever. What an awesome guitar solo too.

[cruxto]

what kind of a dummy would dislike this song? I mean you would have to be a total Kanye West !

[4311clearlake]

excellent Song! great Album! They don't make music ! like that anymore

[DRpretorius39]

This whole album rocks...and I will listen to it another 30 more years!

[Yolkamini]

Finaly, I found this song!!

[Hellfire5500]

good song !!!

[psd9876]

Saw them live here in Vancouver in the 90's they came with "YES" it was a great concert.

[bonjovimemoful]

buena cancion

[360Alberta]

Skating music :) love it!

[wishihadagun28]

Took me forever to find this... Way too long it seemed like forever...I love this song...

fantastic group, fantastic album
