Pet Shop Boys - Flamboyant

[nvet1953]

Great insight into the high pressure life many Japanese professionals deal with on a daily basis....not to mention the nonstop bombardment of information everywhere you go....

[GeneralHoohah]

Sound quality fucking sucks.... they all do. I haven't found a decent version of this song so far on this site. Dammit

[TempleBear33]

The Pet Shop Boys are the best!

[bidlakbks]

This video is brilliant ....it shows a side of Japanese entertainment and creativity that one would usually know of if you were to spend time in Japan......And the Pet Shop Boys have a HUGE Japanese following. I hope that as time goes on the people of Japan can be able to enjoy pleasures like this again...instead of facing daily terror and tragedy

[YonahMoshe]

Wish the sound was a bit better.. my speakers don't like the treble.

[Planbhorizon]

SO awesome! gay straight whatever.. this song is great!

[ichigatsujohn]

Who is the lead actor in this video? He's damn goodlooking...

[amosjordan]

mad

[paulnodpod]

i wish my life like this all the time pls......xx

[robotaholic]

i love this song so much - PSB write such great songs- they're like the best song writers

[ThroughTheDarkness13]

what is the japanese show????

[hhhhia]

@ThroughTheDarkness13

clossblueman24-san said "Kin-chan no kasou taisyou" (「欽ちゃんの仮装大賞」)　

[avdyhit]

I remember this song from 4th grade.

[clossblueman24]

すごい！

まさか「欽ちゃんの仮装大賞」でＰＶ作るなんて。

Pet Shop Boysの曲はどれもカッコイイですね。

[GrubeMasterFlex]

terrible quality

[mmonikub40]

Padriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis­imoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo

[josfernando123]

Som eletrônico perfeito .

[pipejack7]

I have been listening this guys since early eighties, they get better with time.

[MzManic]

Yeah. This song is awesome. I heard it on Pandora the other day and HAD to hear it again and again.

[ScorpiousMagnus]

One of my fave's from 'PSB's.' Great video concept and song...The live version of this they did in Mexico is a classic.

[megatonydeath]

I have never seen this one.

Favorite song by them for sure.

[Tirdaelyn]

That's a pretty sweet video.  :D

[lachicamolona]

son de lo mejorcito, una delicia escucharlos !! nice, very nice.

[reeceyboy111]

One of the best PSB videos.

[yorkandpomona]

love this song

[SpikeXtreme]

Chris's hair is so nice !!

[leoppt]

Adoro.

[tmanxxxx]

this song rules. the video is pretty funny.

[Cerulean0987]

The Japanese can be so weird. I just don't get their humor.

[danthebrit]

I have been a PSB fan since 1987 and i like this song and video a lot but need to make 2 comments about the tag you put why is there a need to put the tag gay surely it should be about the music it be like putting a tag for s wonder and tagging blind or tina turner and tagging black! and why is bruse webber tagged when he dib not direct it

[FatRoland]

@danthebrit Dan, look again at the tags: it is tagged 'gay tv' because that's the channel it was shown on. But you're right about the director - Nico Beyer should get the tag, not Weber.

[mcdj2010]

everything is cool about the pet shop boys its fun to watch everyone have fun with there music ...love there music...

[SpiritOf1989]

Japanese watch an average of 5 hrs television on a daily basis,the most of any country on the globe.

[sidsixty9]

tune

[AsesinodeMasas]

Neil Tennant es el Reed Richards del pop. Cada vez se parece más!!!!

Y el video es increiblemente divertido...

[bradleysmith11]

lol 2:45 this video is ridic.

[Elainebuff69]

I love this song...... once again they have out do themselves with GREATNESS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tommysmommy1979]

Have a friend who fits the description of this song to a tee.

[firehorsedude]

Another great Music-Video/ song done at a level of excellence. Long live U.K. talent.

[navyrob69]

PSB knocks it out of the ball park agian...Group of the decade

[PlanetMother]

Indeed a GREAT song and the live- version from it is also exciting!

[AccidentalArtist]

Just one of the coolest songs I have ever heard. And, for once, the video does a great song justice.

[magikman79]

Damn i love that one

[zimmerface]

Does anyone know what mix this is and where I can buy it? Pet shop boys seem to have a tendency to have five different mixes of the same song.

[kingofkeyboards]

this isnt a mix, it's just a slightly extended version for the video. many of the mixes of this song though are on the Flamboyant single CD.

[robi2000]

Nice nice song..

[juciferro]

Absolutely fabulous,

[pedgar]

Great song! I love PSB !!!

[foppa123]

you have my sympathy

[gravelandgrain100]

For as long as I was a PSB fan, they held a vey prominent spot in the modern dance category-and this wonderful song is a very modern and has a very finished Euro sound to it.

LOVE IT ....

PSB fan from my teens to 37 yrs--forever!!!

[renebetancourt3100]

Amazing video PSB!

[stanislav182000]

one of the greatest songs from late Pet Shop Boys. I love it!!! I can not stop listening to it over and over again!

[erictheviking871]

@stanislav182000 i agree completely .

[Mizuno512]

A BADAZZ PIECE GOOD JOB psb :d

[17anthrax17]

E' stata la colonna sonora del mio ultimo amore... peccato sia finito troppo presto... come questa canzone.

bye

[U2005]

Absolutely fabulous, no more words to say...

[SpiritOf1989]

now i KNOW why i never cared for japan's

consumption-culture-run-rampan­t!!! Still

I swear by Sony and panasonic.

[scarabella74]

Complimenti a Neil Tennant che più invecchia più diventa bello...

[drswordfish]

This is"KInchan no kasou taisyou", This TV program is very very famous in Japan!

[cockycaucasian]

Neil Tennants' wry and clever com mentary is never lost on me. We need more artists to call us on our B.S. What we have now are artists who are inextricably linked with Madison Avenue. And somehow, that became OKAY.

[rosariomar77]

Absolutly Fabolous Liryc s And Music

I like the video , so modern

[minivoolf]

great video!

man teased his brain for the trick with shooker HEADballs

flamboyant trick

flamboyant video

PSB the great musicians

[anthonyh42]

good song crap video

[marcopiras84]

absolutely in accord with u... especially this remix...

[FairportMatty]

fakeified, im sorry but it is :(

[badamj2000]

The Japs invaded Darwin and Sydney and are rather short. Now China is taking over or is it India. or both ?

[Necroman666]

is it like a new music from 2003?

[donwak766]

maaaaaaariiiicones

[radhamadhava]

¡qué original tu comentario!

[KOONMEX1994]

Es fantastico, y me siento mas orgullosa de ser mitad JAPONESA. MUCHA CREATIVIDAD que a nadie le hace mal.

[ARNOLDGOVONATOR]

Very uplifting melody on this track. I listen to this almost everyday at least a couple of times also, sad but true lol

[cocoabononohead]

I don't blame you.  I listened it to over and over when I first heard it.

[paulstreubel]

Flamboyant means that you are someone who behaves in a very extravagant and outgoing manner, everything is drama and all about you. This does describe alot of "poofs". This song is just addicting! I can't stop listening to it and even have it as my main ringtone on my phone. Yes the video is weird but that is what the PSB's do best.

[rhymeandreasoning]

i agree the song is extremely addictive..i listen to it pretty much a couple of times a day, if not more..really great song..music and lyrics

[toniv77]

Thanks for the info.I seem to have many thumb downs for some strange reason I asked a question.I wasn't being a hater.

Anyway you are so right its so addicting.

[toniv77]

what does flamboyant mean.I always thought it meant you are a poof

[fred10538]

marked by or given to strikingly elaborate or colorful display or behavior

[lol80katowice]

Exterro! :)

[ffm20zaheri]

great song but weird video

[sydbarrettforever]

Great song !!!

[tomialpha]

Soha nem fogom őket megunni!

A legjobb buzik a világon!

They're the best(gay) pop band in the world!

[Failed55]

very flamboyant! like eliott wicks

[jadeb333]

Brilliant!!

[KarzelekSpore]

muza ponad czas i tyle-POZDRO DLA FAN OW-37 LATKA

[summella]

Wow, a real Pet Shop Boys song. Reminds you of the good old days! Love it.

[ml2001]

its not that old....really. I think it is a 2003-04 release

[Pergiacomo]

It is a 2003 track.

[ml2001]

According to the official releasing date, Flamboyant was released March 2004. : )

[Mattyuk1]

(Davidcalling) it takes more then having a demo on a synth to produce these great songs. The PSB's are masters of programming, creating music, videos and writing.

[hostroute]

.... and producing.

[electrojapanessa]

I LIKE PETSHOP BOYS

[electrojapanessa]

EXELENT, BUENO EL VIDEO ,

[rhymeandreasoning]

i love this video/song

why wasn't this video ever put on one of the PET SHOP BOYS dvds??

[przemekgrabowski]

because it was made after DVD PopArt was complete

[5334235]

you can find it on their dvd A LIFE IN POP

[bumblebert]

I didnt like this when it first came out way back but its ageing very well. Really like it now strangely.

[Morr1992]

I love this song, I love this video and I love Japan!

[clivehere]

does anyone know a pet shop boys song that has similar lyrics to this.....

"Sara Vee D'Ay,

I Love You..."

i cant remember the rest but if someone knows that song please tell me the name of it!! :)

[craigfizz74]

It is called 'Se a vida é (Thats the way life is)' from the album Bilingual from 1996.

[clivehere]

thanks mate :D

[cocoabononohead]

Goddamnit! How many hits do they have!? Everytime I search one of their songs it's a smash!

[detachments]

TUNE! one of their best. best song they done since the 80s

[lilmizzdimplez88]

I love there type of music

[glettis]

i love the keaboard riffs! it gives me the chills

[scrumedge]

Passion! Passion! Pure passion!　Flamboyant!!!

[fallingmusic]

Miracles was the better single from PopArt IMO

[manusobscura]

The vocalist is gay, he openly came out. The keyboardist is straight as far as we know. Who gives a fuck, their music is good.

[DeMarki81]

so many homophobics here, so what if they are Gay?

Their music rocks. :)

[ml2001]

Agree, wholeheartedly.

[cocoabononohead]

Fuck that. Even though their music is pop oriented they have strong hooks, developed arrangements and they know how to make delivery work. They're not as in depth as Mahavishnu Orchestra or Pink Floyd but their songs are still strong. They are a shitload of 'candy coated' artists that have come out within the last 10 yearst that have absolutely no substance, but The Pet Shop Boys continue to delivery strong material.

[davidscalling]

cocoabononohead, I only agree that they deliver strong material at about 50% the other half of their stuff is weak or gets dull after about 3 listens. I've found this band to be like chewing gum after the flavor is gone you are left with nothing. Don't get me wrong I think several of their songs were fantastic. Also Groups like Pink Floyed were miles above the PSB so there is no comparison. Anyone can set a Casio Keyboard to DEMO lik ethe PSB and then sing to an Echo effect in every song.

[cocoabononohead]

Their songs tend to stick somewhat to a pop structure, I agree, but I find there music, exhilirating.

They've been one of the more potent new wave/electronic pop bands for the past 20 odd years, and most pop bands don't have as much as much substance as they do. What pop bands have produced something musical in the past ten years? With the exception of Goldfrapp, Portishead, and 'The Knife' and even these bands toy with pop concepts, while having a darker tone.

But to each their own.

Cheers,

[davidscalling]

COCOABONONOHEAD, I don't have anything against pop, in fact I love pop. I just don't like 50% of the PSB music. It's hollow although pretty. And I wouldn't personally consider most of what they do actually being pop so much as Electro/Disco, which isn't bad either, but I just don't like most of their style. I have loved many of their songs but I don't think they are actually all that good at producing pop. Like I said, anyone can set a Casio Keyboard to Demo and set their voice to ECHO.....

[earthacademy]

well's there's your first mistake. you can't compare music on a left brained graph. Pet shop boys hits home emotionally in many of their dynamic tracks, whereas Pink Floyd is like self indulgent mutual masturbation that puts a lot of us to sleep. And I personally cant stand jingly jangly hippy guitar music. PSBs are clean cut and futurist, and are way more in touch with the future :-)

[redmapleleaf]

Uplifting, flamboyant song.

[HunSavage]

Headbanger of a tune!!!!!!!!!! PSB!

[andelacruzz]

uno de los mejores videos de peshopboys ,japon ejemplo de avance ,muy interesante su cultura, calificacion 10

[banotas]

[verdeveronese]

[mintsauce83]

does the gay music want to make love to other gay bits of music in a gay way shnoodles?

[llaoll]

schnoodle? :D you guys are too cute

[Shn00dleS]

it was a reply to llaroll who initialy said this was a gay song (meaning shit) i thought i would play on the word in a comical sense expressing my disgust at such a flippant comment. dont be fasecious please.

[mintsauce83]

how can a piece of music be gay you are fantastic showcase for human intelligence shnoodles...bet your poorly educated, it is the problem humanity faces.

[llaoll]

you're right *sob

i'm a slob

i quit university after one year.

at least i can be ashamed of myself in four languages

i was a lonely boy

no strength no joy

in a world of my own at the back of the garden

i did not want to compete or lay out in the street

......and so on

[savvybruce]

This is so awesome. Pet Shop Boys will always be a great disco-tech band.

[bor989]

is this the official video?

what happened with that logo, It is so crazy.. haha

that's confusing. LOL

[llaoll]

this is gay

[Shn00dleS]

er, yeah its a gay song cos the guys who made it are gay so.. yeah its a gay song.

[psvsg]

Well,that means you are listening to a gay song from gay songwriters so maybe you are gay,too :)

[llaoll]

*hot breathing Do you want to be my... special friend?

[magpiestripe]

<3 This song.

[antonymoura2000]

Ironic... really ironic. That's Neil Tennant for you. His words are always very intelligent. And his melodies rock! Two thumbs up.

[andelacruzz]

no se pero el video esta muy bueno ,algo diferente enfocado al oriente como progreso en el mundo

[Abalon7292]

Este video me recuerda una maravillosa pelicula de Sophia Coppola, la pelicula se llama

"Lost in translation" la trama se desarrolla en Japon, un Japon que no se si se ajusta demasiado a la realidad ya que se muestra desde un punto de vista muy occidental, pero la historia es muy bonita con dos personajes muy diferentes y al mismo tiemmpo muy parecidos que en otro entorno seguramente nunca se hubiesen conocido.Te la recomiendo. Por cierto,si ves la pelicula y no te gusta no me llames tonto :)

[Abalon7292]

Un respeto niña, deacuerdo que no te guste pero respeta y no seas ignorante

[wilkoladere]

i fukin love japan

[wilkoladere]

im bored nd i found this nd i like the tune in the background

[boyjohn]

Someone should make a fan video for one of the b sides of this single, "I Didn't Get Where I Am Today", such an awesome song.

[tomialpha]

I'm not gay and like Pet Shop Boys and this is so normal.

[nipperoid]

SAME HERE

[cyvfkog221]

欽ちゃん・香取信吾の仮装大賞ですね＾＾

[cosmedasilvafarias]

Espetacular o clip Flamboyant dos Pet Shop Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alejandroabner]

why dont they maKE A MUSICAL, GAY MUSICAL , I WOULD SAY, WITH THE SPONGS OF PSP, JUST LIKE MAMMA MIA, IT WOULD TURN OUT GREAT AND A REAL SUCCESS , DONT U YHINK.

[barzouf94]

The Pet Shop Boys never cease to amaze me!

[Naljierskaal]

It's a tree.

[KarmaSkier]

Whats a flamboyant?

[philion7777777]

people that want to be famous for the sake of being famous. ie big brother

[wozthuronce]

A tree, its found in the Caribbean, its very showey and when the wind blows the leaves move and give a great sense of different shades of green.

[dreamsaregold]

As you know,the tree puts out bright orange blossoms at least once a year-- spectacularly -- flamboyant!

from dreams are gold

[Olly21219]

This song came on when I had my very first lap dance. Couldn't pick a better track for that amazing experience :)

[Caligulita]

I hope you were getting a lap dance from a boy, because otherwise it's kinda weird...

[Olly21219]

No I was getting the dance off a girl. It might be a bit strange since the song is about a man (I didn't know then) but I can still enjoy the beat and experience.

[BellaXTC]

soo good!

[emceewhiterabbit]

awesome song

[InsaneLiZARD]

Cool !

[Lolita1982]

Sometimes their videos are just so... bizarre!

[fineantiques68]

I have loved the Pet Shop Boys for over 20 years. The first Album Please, help me come out and be proud of being gay. That was not easy considering I grew up in the South Bronx. They are incredible song writers and their music moves me so much. I have almost everything they have done. This song is a classic as is so many of there other songs. Just wondering if there are any other Puerto Ricans out there that like the P.S.B's as much as I do or am I the only one?

[JAZMINPISACO]

neil has the sweetest voice of all times. and i love this song, amazing, destined to be a classic.

i love PSB cause anyone can related to the lyrics. some of their songs makes me cry.

[kenmg56912881]

im japanese and Japanese language here on the video dont almost make sense at all. yet the song itself is bloody cool. lovely.

[kenmg56912881]

nice song

[TheSeditionaries]

欽ちゃん・香取信吾の仮装大賞

[ladyinblacklace]

I fell in love with this song when it came out but i had no idea who sang it and what it was called!I'm so clad i found this!Awesome song and video!

[RICKD790]

I agree, I think it's one of their best!

[myview28]

His voice is so effete and faggoty, but he makes it work.

[totalrecall49]

this song is great , but the video........mmmmm

[queenpopmusic]

I love voice of Neil Tennant

[kokaiini]

Interesting video

[hebleedsglitter]

I think this song sums up every flambo I know in the gay community.
