Cool Video.I still rem seeing them play at clubs like the Franklins club in shirly ma.and at the channel club in boston.. excelent performance and the sound was fantastic wish those days where still here...
I have awesome memories of this song, it would always be on the radio as my mom, my friends and I drove to and from motocross races or practice in the middle 80's. Those were great times and it's a great song.
I saw them open for Hall and Oates in April 1985 - next day went out and bought the album (remember those?) their 2nd album Welcome Home was lights years ahead of the first - always thought I'd be the perfect guy for Aimee oh well:) Michael Penn lucky bastard
She was so fucking cool. Loved her hair. I wish she stayed like this, writing kick ass heartbreaking songs on electric guitar. I still listen to her, and have learned to love her acoustic more singer-songwriter side, but still.
I thought Madonna was the greatest, until I heard Aimee's emotional vocals & the haunting sound of 'Til Tuesday. Aimee was classy, & the band didn't need gimmicks to win fans... Still, ; ) at 16 I replaced my cut up T's w/ an oversized blazer (stuffed w/ two sets of shoulder pads!), then secretly began snipping my beloved Barbie's hair off at the scalp, & proceeded to braid tiny sections of the locks into a chunk hair behind my right ear 'til I'd "grown" a rat tail as long as Aimee's!

Btw I thought the guitarist was a chick too in this vid, but had a brain fart. I remembered it was three dudes and a chick on bass. Being a bassist I love it! Memories of the 80's.
The guitarist kicks butt here live! Much better than the record. More melody and harmony with the lead singers bass line. Like they've done it enough times to add a little something that just makes it better. I Love this!
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
perfect example of why the 80's was the best decade for music. she is actually singing and not over-vocalizing all the time, AND playing bass, AND has stage presence..... total love and respect for her, AMAZING talent.
@FoxIslandman Had to go there, didn't you? Well, speaking as a Retired Tattooed AND Pierced Sailor, I'm going to paraphrase an old saying: Do you know what the difference is between people WITH tattoos and piercings and people WITHOUT tattoos and piercings? People WITH tattoos and piercings won't give you crap for NOT having tattoos and piercings. With that said, I will continue to practice my various forms of "self- mutilation" with the subliminal reasoning of shocking people like ... you.
Her face is sublimely beautiful. An artist could not sculpt a face so beautiful. OMG, she's just perfect! I can imagine that just being near her would have felt like basking in radiance!
@FoxIslandman Did you ever think, just for a second, that there are some truly productive members of society that have had tattoos done strictly for the sake of self expression? And they did so in a completely sound and sober state of mind? MOST reputable tattoo shops won't grace you with timeless artwork if you're under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Did you ever stop to think for a second that some of us had our tattoos done with the subliminal reasoning of shocking people like ... you??
I hope this isn't stupid of me without looking up the singer. But I thought The Motels sang this song. Though at the time I knew of her I didn't know much of her off the top of my head but she's the woman in the Rush video "Time stands still". Anyways everyone over 40 should remember this song. But I always thought it was The Motels who sang it. It's weird trying to recall shit. my memory is shit. Now I have to look it up.
@crassology the motels sang 'suddenly last summer' and 'only the lonely' among others, but those two songs were their biggest hits. also, check out Remember the Nights..
I saw them in Memphis at the Antenna Club in about 1985 or 86. Aimie rocked back then. Saw her in 94 in Cleveland and she rocked. Saw her in 95 and she still rocked. Saw last year (2010) and she still rocks. Lets face it, she rocks .
I saw a video of someone singing this song, saying it was about child abuse. Wha? I think that songs and art should mean whatever you personally want, but Child Abuse?
right, it's about girl friend abuse - pretty much emotional in nature, according to the lyrics - bad enough though; a friend said to me if you love someone, treat them wonderfully - if not, leave. One of the few all-or-nothing propositions in the world that I can get behind :)
I remember seeing them play this song at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia MD in 1984 opening for either Billy Idol or Tom Petty. Help! I can't remember :(
We would play this track on our break from our rock/heavy metal band back in the day. This song rocks! I love Aimee Mann, what a presence. How many people i know thought the name of this song was "Boys are scary" Great song. God bless the 80's!
I am 39 years old (fuck you all, yeah it sucks) and this is one of my top ten songs that hits me in a hyper-nostalgic way when I think of the happiest times of my life: the early 80's. SO glad this song was also included in one of my favorite movies of all time, "Donnie Darko"... Thanks for the post!
today it is all about LOOKS and MONEY and GOLD CHAINS..............I am glad I was able to experience music that rocked....I am in my 40s and I feel there will never be rock icons that kids want to look up to positively. Todays so called artists can't even read music yet alone read period..
Even though the hair was a really bad style back then, their were a lot of female musicians that did make some really good music. We DO need more women like that today.
By horrible subject matter I mean the abusive relationship the narrator of the song is in. In the official video it's very plain that the guy is at the very least - a major control freak. Listen to the lyrics, the story is all there.
Aimee is just brilliant in her words describing what is happening, particularly in the bridge. The guy doesn't want a partner or companion, he wants a Stepford Wife. He wants her to hush, hush and not tell anyone about the relationship.
@MilSepic60 I thought that the lyrics were orginally about two women being together, and that one of the women was telling the other to "hush, hush" and not let anyone know, something that homosexuals at the time were still dealing with. It was the record company that asked the band to change the lyrics for mass-market consumption.
Don't think the homosexual thing would have been an issue by the mid 80's. Wasn't this the heyday for Bronski Beat, Frankie goes to Hollywood Boy George? And I can't see Mann buckling under whatever the record company asked for in terms of changing her lyrics. I imagine she would have told the suits to take a flying fart at the moon before changing a word. I see red if anyone tries to change my lyrics or anything that I wrote. Have to ask Aimee for the definitive answer.
@MilSepic60 from Wikipedia "The title song was originally sung by a woman to a woman, but due to record company pressure for less controversial lyrics it was changed to be sung to a man. "
Wow. Checked that entry and I'm still surprised that she'd change the lyric. The change is still a good dig at the record company execs who asked for this since they're trying to keep her in line. I think the bridge words are something like, "He wants me if he can keep me in line." Priceless.
The way it was changed is still edgy to me because the guy doesn't want a person but a Stepford Wife.
I bet tranny lady gag me (gaga) wishes she could jam like this..along with the other bullshit female singers out there today that all sound the same.DUNG.....Thank God for heavy metal!!!!!!!!
Excellent song, horrible subject matter but she dared and succeeded in putting it out in the open. Great vocals and the passion is right there on her face. The band is tight and right into it and playing hard to get it across. Have to check out Mann's later output. Proof that the 60's and 70's magic didn't die out, the younger generation just keeps it alive. Thanks Blanco for the posting.
Aimee's soundtrack work and effort since `Till is just amazing. Clearly, she has always been a cut above most songwriters and should be accorded that distinction.
WOW a band that actually plays instruments and writes their own music, how f--ked up is that in this day and age. It's hard to believe that there actually used to be a time in the music industry when real bands existed.
Funny, at that time people made fun of artists like her for being "weird". Compared to today where she'd be considered "normal". What's weird today becomes tomorrow's cool until somoene gets bored with it and trys to be "weird" to stand out from the crowd. Funny huh?
check out cyndi lauper "all through the night" live paris '87. same thing. she's not playing an instrument, but she sings her @#$%$ off. (both using sm57's by the way)
If you watch the movie "Mystery Men" with Jeanie Garrafalo and Benstiller and Paul Ruben, near the end of the movie Jeanie Garrafallo talks to the camera telling people to support Independent Music and film. That is one place you will find the new ladies of Rock !
I was at this show. I even caught a pick. I can't believe this is on youtube! Awesome, and kudos to the uploader.

Aimee's soundtrack work and effort since `Till is just amazing. Clearly, she has always been a cut above most songwriters and should be accorded that distinction.

Wasn't this the best music ever? The 80's were great and Till Tuesday was one of the greats.Thank you Aimee Mann.

WOW a band that actually plays instruments and writes their own music, how f--ked up is that in this day and age. It's hard to believe that there actually used to be a time in the music industry when real bands existed.

Does anyone know what kind of synthesizer he's using? It's Analog, isn't it? It's too hard to emulate it =/

Funny, at that time people made fun of artists like her for being "weird". Compared to today where she'd be considered "normal". What's weird today becomes tomorrow's cool until somoene gets bored with it and trys to be "weird" to stand out from the crowd. Funny huh?

If you watch the movie "Mystery Men" with Jeanie Garrafalo and Benstiller and Paul Ruben, near the end of the movie Jeanie Garrafallo talks to the camera telling people to support Independent Music and film. That is one place you will find the new ladies of Rock !
