  • 26 people just aint got it!

  • everyone knows this a good one no one will admit it though

  • go go's, surf punks and oingo boingo!!!!!!!

  • so sharing fantasies

  • this is the only all women band in history to get a hit, except they got too.

  • @gentlestormtoo What about the Spice Girls and the Runaways?

  • you can tell the chick stage diving is bugging Belinda

  • hihi You will have a fun time with me

  • Margot was always having so much fun up there!

  • hihi Tell me your fantasies and let's make them a reality

  • I can see why my calculus teacher is friends with them. AWESOME!!

  • This brings back memories. I would love to have a time machine and go back, just to see this live.

  • Lean la reseña del concierto de Go-Go’s en el Greek Theatre de L.A. en nuestro sitio en español!

  • Several years ago, I finally saw them perform live. They still sounded great.

  • This brings back memories. I knew & worked with them. They were really bad at first. So They locked themselves up in the Masqe & rehearsed for almost a year. . Hard work no one handed them anything on a plate. Being a chic band playing the punk scene made it even harder They then went to England to cut their teeth & at the time they were more accept there. That was the late 70's -Alan

  • Am I the only one creeped out by how the shirt was getting pulled off the girl crowd-surfing? She must not have cared, though, since she jumped back in. Then that dancing guy was about to pull out his junk, just before he got chased off stage. Yeah, that seems like a pretty typical 80s rock show.

  • I think Belinda looks awesome here. Love her style and a killer vocal!

  • cool. check out our girl in FreeCowboyHats -"I Don't Care"

  • "It´s Spicolli mon! Dude´s been stoned since the 3rd grade"

    Song makes me wanna get a job at Ridgemont mall... :D

  • WTF are you waiting for? LOL....Our girls are on their FINAL TOUR! Here are the Tour Dates! ;)

  • Belinda looks juicy!

  • Es Belinda?

  • Its amazing anyone would even consider her even being overweight in this video. If she were any skinnier she would look anorexic.

  • Uggyh, Belinda looked hot most of the time but in this clip she is a pog!

  • Sadlly the music industry would make Belinda lose around 20 pounds since protruding bones and big boobs are considered attractive in the 2000s. Belinda looks good with meat in on her bones.

  • Belinda doesnt look heavy at all to me. I guess Im use to all the fat asses walking around now days

  • It wasn't just about Belinda, they were tight instrumentally!

  • me encanta esta canción

  • super amazing this song is a clasic

  • i like it

  • Well, she is cute AND chubby :)

  • Yeah Belinda Carlisle was chubby here but who cares. She still had that performance frontwoman flare she is known for back then like she does now. She was always an iconic figure in 80s music, but my favorite was always Jane Wiedlin. I always thought she was the hottest. Though I know she's kind of odd in my opinion in what I saw of her in the 90s and on, she still is a classy lady and gorgeous. Especially for 52!

  • @MrNostalgiaX

    chubby? she's got the best figure of the bunch! Women with some meat are gorgeous.

  • @geekintheperimeter Your last statement I agree to some extent. Just depends on who. I dont agree with the first (after the word "Chubby"?) That's a matter of opinion and I respect it. Like I said, physically I've always been into Jane Wiedlin. She's gorgeous and still is now. I have the upmost respect for Belinda Carlisle though cuz she is a great frontwoman with excellent charisma and voice.

  • are you kidding me Belinda was a skinny minnie when the this vedeo was shot, her legs are practically toothpicks

  • shes not really fat here

  • wow, belinda was a serious porker, we got the MEAT, we got the FAT... actually, she was working on a cure for her anorexia...or overcompensating. she didnt want to be at risk for anorexia. like the tune though, but damnnnn

  • wow, belinda was a serious porker... actually, she was working on a cure for her anorexia...or overcompensating. she didnt want to be at risk for anorexia. like the tune though, but damnnnn

  • IIIIIII LLLLLLOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE the GOGOS

  • Excellent!!!!

  • The GoGo's were my first concert ever! These girls were great!

  • that chick cant stage dive for shit. but the go gos were f'n great. originally a punk band if you can believe that

  • fuckin' hot!

  • The Go Go's were a great BAND in the sense of the word band. The songwriting was good, too, as well as the arrangements. Glad to see they've been touring lately. Sorry, Belinda, I always had the hots for Jane.

  • go go's and oingo boingo. perfect night

  • I still luv this band. They rock!!!!! I'd love to see them live> I hope they tour soon!!!!

  • @borgboy1000 they are!!!! their first show is in la i think at the forum or the greek...can't remember

    worldmarketsweepstakes,com (change the comma to a period)

    its a weird buy to get tickets thing but its worth it!!

  • playing at the same club as Oingo Boingo....cool!! :-)

  • This was my favorite girl band!!!!! The music is still banging!!!!!!

  • Saw these girls in '82 at the Hollywood Bowl---my first concert at 13. And it was sold out---all 18,000 plus seats! Clearly these early performance kicks ass! They rocked like no one's business---male or female.

    Imagine what the early punk scene must have been like then. Makes today's alternative scene look like Sesame Street.

    Nazi punkers revolt!!

  • @JimmBailey I think you'd like her new autobiography, Lips Unsealed. She talks about that concert and how much coke she snorted back in the day. Also, on her weight issues and her old nickname, Belimpa. This dress was not a good pick here. She needed black leggings, I think.

  • @JimmBailey haha what?

  • This is how music is done with passion and being able to play instruments, unlike a lot of artists today who are just manufactured in some boardroom.

  • lol at all the arguing on this song lol

  • you guys make ado of nothing...

  • Charlotte wrote this song in 2 min's while watching TV. The drummer is the most experienced musician. They fired the original drummer -- good move. (Info from Belinda's new book.)

  • I still love Jane

  • Jane totally misses her cue at 1:25 !

  • Could u imagine getting the Go Go's and the Dead Kennedy's in the same concert. My school managed to get Meat Loaf and Rob Base for Spring Weekend. Go figure!

  • Ok I pick this page, this format, whatever, to ask this question. Does anybody have the GoGo's on SNL from about 1980? I have seen this once before and it blew me away. They did "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips are Sealed." Very, very rare.  I can't believe I didn't save it. Now I'm going to get one zillion emails but send me a link or the content at gunslinger32mag@yahoo.com

  • Urgh! A Music War is such a good music film! Whoever got all that together was brilliant.

    I also like that this particular song is in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

  • @FoodSexRecords Stewart Copeland from the Police actually got this started. Read about it in The Police Wicki. It's available as DVD. wbshop.com is the cheapest. $19.95

  • This music video illustrates exactly how I have thought of the State of California for years. What cute, active women, those Californians. Where's the next beach party?

  • This is exactly how I have thought about the State of California, ever since watching the Beach Boys on the Ed Sullivan Show, around the same time the Beatles appeared there. Just this last weekend, I watched an ABC televised Beach Volleyball Championship match. Hawaii and California, places I should visit.

  • so, what was going to do the guy who later flys as a chiken? so funny. I LOVE GO GO'S

  • Wow, this was before Kathy Valentine was in the band!

  • Carlisle was doing so much coke back then she was pissin baby powder...

  • Girl runs on stage and starts pogoing @ 1:54 . The Go-Go's rock

  • Those were the days!! The Go Go's forever!!

  • The Go-Gos were partners with the Neo-Nazi Valley Girl Surf Punks as they were performing punk rock music.

  • "she started the chubby cute look?" WTF? fuckin' morons on here!

  • It is true punk.

  • Clearly from the pre-coke days.

  • @sketchguy2006

    There WERE no pre-coke days for her lol

  • @Fear2Stop Definitely looks as if she's been drinking lots of Cokes. Non-diet Cokes at that.

    I love it when that dude jumps up on stage and puts his hand down his pants. What's up with that? Trying to unfurl his "War Flag" or something? Then the security guy chases him off the stage. Perfect.

  • Belinda Carlisleis a goddess ...

  • I would love to hear Stone Temple Pilots do a cover of this...Weiland would KILL on this song IMHO.

  • @Fear2Stop I was listening to The Deftones cover of 'Drive' by The Cars and I kept picturing STP covering THAT song

  • Ever thought she might just have a kid,it does happen,ladies have babies...

  • im sorry but they sound aweful live better not live version

  • If people want to put Belinda down for gaining weight, those people can kiss my big ol' butt. Belinda looks gorgeous here. In this vid, Belinda has a REAL figure, not an anorexic, unhealthy size 2. BTW Belinda has TALENT too!

  • I saw them at the Roxy in 1980, I think Carlisle was wearing the same dress. They knocked my socks off. The next week I drove all over Orange and LA counties to find the import of We Got the Beat. I finally found it in an independent Long Beach record store. Hitting the LA clubs like the Roxy and Whiskey back then were some of the best times of my life so far.

  • Rad

  • Hkt #2 pop, #7 rock in Billboard. God bless!

  • at 1:29 the dude in the yellow shirt flipps the girl off! hahahahahahahahahah fAIL

  • Playing like their lives depend on it. Love this.

  • still stannnnnnnnnns

  • I love the solo that Charlotte plays. It sounds so surf and 60"s.

  • This probably one of the best early recordings of the girls. I think they should put out an album of all PRE Beauty and the Beat songs. That would just fracking rock!

  • This is Sunset Blvd October 17, 1980, punkettes on the verge of becoming popstars. By December the girls fired Margo so they could move into that realm. Always wondered what the band would have been like if they hadn't ousted' their founding member!

  • I hate this song

  • @mrsnick9 if you hate it so much......why the fuck did you watch it? Jesus, don't be such a little bitch about it....

  • @mrsnick9 then why the hell did u watch it then

  • Damn! Nice little glimpse of sunset in 1981. Wish i would have been there. The Whiskey a Go Go ,The Roxy, The Rainbow. Those were the places to be back then. All your legend 80's groups were there at the time!

  • she kinda looks like a chubby Charlize Theron. not trying to call Belinda fat,she looks good. im just sayin

  • I've seen many version of this song by them....THIS IS THE BEST!!!

  • ahh when LA was middle class and american...

  • totally awesome

  • this so sooo fucking brillant i wanna puke.....i mean this is 30 years ago and its like a breath of fresh air how good "real" music was....

  • Look at the marquee in the beginning..it lists:

    Surf Punks, Oingo Boingo, Alleycats, and Go Go's and one fricken bill!!!

  • If You Want More 80's Music, Check Out My Channel.

  • Classic!!!!!!!!!!! great great song

  • I think she was hot

  • Belinda Carlisle is a fu&%in cultural icon!!! Not only did she make doin the "The GoGo" cool, she started the "chubby cute" look too. XD!!!

  • @RideMyBMW

    Agree.. I like'em a tad chubby myself.. still like the short hair. :)

  • this is when music was at it's best

  • Sounds fu%$in awesome...Punk Rock at its best. :D

  • Love the Go Go's. They Got the Beat.

  • holy sh*t , I can't believe this song is almost 30 years old. My friend had a bootleg copy of Urgh! A Music War that we pretty much wore out. Thanx for posting this......BTW, thick or thin, Belinda was always HOT.

  • my early idols....punk chic!

  • If you don't think balinda got more attractive in later years as she lost weight, you're either crazy or from a century where pot bellies were considered rich and attractive.

  • She was perfect in the early years. Sexy thick.

  • Why does everyone have to look like an anorexic toothpick to be cute?

  • because it's attractive?

  • @fknrat

    Attractive to some, not all. It's funny to me that Belinda was considered "chubby". She doesn't look like a rail but I would hardly call her fat either.

  • This is great. An awesome snapshot of The Go-Go's when they played with the Punks. There's a picture somewhere of them wearing garbage bags at a place like this. We did an interview with Jane Wiedlin on Songfacts where she explained that The Buzzcocks were a big influence.

  • 2:08 ahhhhhh

  • Thank you, Belinda! Watch this video: f6YBy-l0an8

  • damn belinda was kinda "chunky" in her younger years :(

  • so? what does that have to do with anything? she's an awsome singer and weight shouldn't matter

  • @ultimathewarrior I agree, but that thing about her weight has eaten her up practically her whole life leading to drug addiction, bulimia and other reckless behaviors. Really I think it goes back into her past with her father leaving her family when she was only 5. She never resolved the matter personally and she even gets teary eyed when she talks about it to this day. What a shame because she seems like such a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit as well.

  • @astrolifter dude playing amatuer psychiatrist is silly and your skills are lacking why so? because she does have a beautiful spirit in psite of all the droll bullshit your dredging up in the wrong forum. inspire of those items you mention she overcame, and brought us all this incredibly great music now please shut the fuck up and enjoy, or go to another forum

  • @kahetel13 Not sure what the hell is wrong with you, but I love the go gos then and now and what I said has nothing to do with psychiatry which involves severe mental disorders, none of which I believe Belinda had. Now shut the fuck up with your nonsensical babel, or go to another forum.

  • @kahetel13 Oh, and being involved with the supernatural for many years, I can tell you that when you practice "wicca" you are fucking with things you don't even understand. Do you seriously believe that all the rituals you do and what not guarantee you'll only manifest positive spiritual forces? You have a lot to learn..

  • @astrolifter dude this section has nothing to do with a wiccan discussion and you obviously looked at my site just to see that i do practice witchcraft . now please please, this is about the go gos .... go fuck a duck .....

  • @kahetel13 Stop acting like you run things here. You ran your mouth and made erroneous assumptions with respect to my statements and I gave you my responses. If you don't like it, tough shit: deal with it. What I stated about Belinda, I based upon interviews I read about her childhood, including her memoirs book. You took it upon yourself to butt in when it didn't even concern you. You don't know me so PLEASE fuck off. I'm probably a bigger fan of the go gos then you ever have been child.

  • @astrolifter well well looks like you cant handle someone flaming you back:) have a good one and enjoy

  • @kahetel13 Thanks, I owe you an apology about the Wiccan thing, I read what you had to say about it again and realize that you don't treat it like religious dogma like others may do, which Christians are notorious for as well. I really misjudged you on this one, later.

  • @astrolifter look, i went heavy on you as well and for that i do apologize and yep i dont treat it like a dogma . peace

  • That girl in the white t-shirt who was crowd surfing was SO cool...I am glad they spent so much camera time on her!

  • I saw them back in 1979 in Hollywood. They were horrible!

    Their sound totally changed with the addition of Valentine.

    As I recall Belinda had blue hair.

  • fast times at ridgemont high

  • Belinda looks like she's competing in a Roy Clark lookalike contest. Thank Christ she let her hair grow and layed off the groceries.

  • ROFL

    You made my night with that comment

  • Does that girl being lifted up get the finger from the guy on the right at 1:28?!

  • Appears so :D

  • Oh, it is a rite of passage, mind you, testoesterone afterburner, looks most uncomfortable.

  • Im a Jane man myself. Seriously though? Almost one of the coolest bands ever. They missed it by that much! Surf, snotty, girly proto-punk. But they cheesed out and ended up lookin like an early screen test for the Golden Girls. Too bad, could have totally rocked.

  • Man, was Charlotte a doll, or what? That outfit is so sexy.

  • Pat Butcher

  • It's too bad they got rid of Margot! She's one of the liveliest members of the band on stage during this performance.

  • You guys are morons.  Brains the size of grains of sand.

  • I would have phucked her by the time she didnt look like Miss Piggy and went solo.

  • i love this song

  • I LOVE BELINDA! This takes me back to my teen years. I would love to hang out in the 80s again just for one week!

  • Holy shit, Belinda Carlisle is a fat nasty hog in this video. You cant argue that her coke use later didnt hurt her looks !

  • After reading your comment, I never laughed so hard in my life!!!!

  • where are there husbands

  • sounds like a band on the flintstones ?

    the way outs ?

  • damn i wanna bang belinda

  • dont we all wanna bang belinda :D

  • I liked Jane better.

  • love this song :)

  • i love them

  • nice song! belinda looks cool in her dress cool!!! luv it but the original version is better :l

  • Love 'em, but that's an unfortunate outfit on our Belinda!

  • It wasn't the outfit.  It was the extra weight.

  • i got the beat with this song

  • great video and song but at 1:38 a guy in a yellow shirt gives the girl being passed aroung the middle finger lol

  • The best i remaind when i was in the school..great song ..
