  • For a song from the 80's...the sound quality is absolutely awesome. Thanks for sharing

  • Nikki Minaj @ 2:57

  • In the 80s, Billy Ocean was a soul singer with a pop sound. It worked.

  • Is it just me, or did Phil Collins totally rip off this song's guitar riff when he wrote "Land of Confusion"?

  • its lando calrissian

  • Billy never mentioned the meaning of loverboy what it means in 2012...

  • I have no clue what's happening in this video. I think if I did, the song would somehow not be as great.

  • This is very good music... The 20th century had real music

  • Maybe kinda Rule 34 but the chick is kinda hot

  • I remember watching this on Friday night videos. I was only in second grade at the time, but I knew good music at a young age.. The 80's were great !

  • Never understood the Star Wars theme. Fanboys rejoice!

  • Memories of working in Switzerland as a DJ Great Track

  • Wow, what a girlfriend snatcher!!!!!! lol. love this song. THE 80's ROCK.

  • The guys who did this video must have just gotten done watching Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome and Empire Strikes Back before coming up with this one.

  • So the poor guy is just sitting with his girl and gets shot and his girlfriend snatched? That's cold! ;-p

  • Everything about this is so right.

  • Billy Oceans voice in this song is so freakin' awesome.

  • whoever disliked this song, should have the shit smacked out of them

  • I FUCKING LOVE THIS DAMN VIDEO.

  • LOLWUT

    But seriously, this was made hot off the heels of Beyond Thunderdome and Star Wars, and Goddamn, it shows.

  • I've loved this song from the first time I heard it. Never saw the vid until I found it here on YouTube a couple of months ago. The 80's had some really great music, Billy was a big part of that, this song in particular.

    But I gotta say, the Lizard-man-thing who wastes Mr. But-tugly and steals the pink-haired cutie, creeps me out sooooo much. I kept hoping that once they were outside the bar, he'd rip off his mask and turn into Billy! I hope for it every damn time I watch this. LOL XD

  • @AnnHattieAnn I thought he was a goat man

  • Should I watch it again? Yeah, I think I'm gonna.

  • Funny. Its been so long since I saw that video, that in my head it was more Dark Crystal than Star Wars. But now it's so obviously Mos Eisley. God that song is awesome though.

  • Holy shit, what the fuck were they thinking? I can't believe this is the video for this song ! Only makes it better.

  • 30 people were Unlovedboys

  • I LOVE this song :^)

  • @ 3:15 because the way to an alien woman's heart is to waste her boyfriend and then immediately flee on horseback from the crime scene.

  • that is wicked

  • Yeah, Star War-ish video that makes no sense at all. Love the song!

  • Look at Billy; no, look at your husband; no, look at Billy. He's riding a horse, facing forward... :-)

  • This video does not make much sense but the song is AWESOME!

  • This song ruled in the 80s at the Odesssy, Coconut Teaser, and 321 Club in Santa Monica Blvd., which is now a punk ass Hooters.

  • Now that I think of it, a whole lot of music videos of the 80s were seemingly inspired by the type of sci-fi worlds seen in the Star Wars movies. Though, that "type" of sci-fi was kinda the "universal" thing back then. It was probably one of the most imaginative types of sci-fi too, because it seemed to take everything and the kitchen sink into account, and didn't try to be realistic or logical. Super fantasy of science fiction.

  • this video is messed up but this song is great and so is billy ocean

  • 4:02..an on ..so so sweet!

  • Holy shit! I haven't seen this video in over 25 years. It looks like a cheap rip off of Star Wars lol. Awesome song, though. I remember hearing it on the radio often back in '84.

  • I LOVE this song. But the video is SO messed up. lol Still, I love you 80's <#

  • love the song and billy ocean rocked back in the day!

  • @drakeneyez. My thoughts exactly!!!  Worst video I've ever seen.

  • Lol idk WTF is up with the video

  • wtfffffffff is up with the video? hahaha

    billy ocean rocks tho

  • I was there when videos started on MTV and this is a classic, perfect example...period. Billy ...you rock man.

  • 2 far gone hard 2 stop.

  • wonderful song, horrible video

  • what happened to him, he had so many great songs back in the 80's

  • Kinda Reminds you of star wars when there in the bar and obi-wan chops that guys arm off, theres jawas in this video, the main guy kinda looks like Yak-Face!

  • This is good lessons. If she's taken, shoot him in the face. Then kidnap her. Yay stockholm syndrome

  • ok...chic @1:52 looks like a fake-ass 'kira' from 'the dark crystal'...but i LOVE it!!!!!...i'm a star wars fan and all that!....guess that's why i love this video!!!!!

  • "Hey Billy what do you want to do for your Loverboy video?"

    "I want to be floating around in some shapes and there needs to be a cave populated with mutant Star Wars creatures"

    "Okay..."

    "And the hero of the piece needs to be a dino-humanoid and he kills someone and forces the dead guy's girlfriend to go horseback riding."

    "Cool, we'll start production tomorrow."

  • @automatwinslaytracks

    hey didn't you know cocaine was a hell of a drug in the 80's ;)

  • Just a damned good song. Wonderful things to tell your prospective girlfriend.

  • I loved to look at this video by Billy Ocean, it brings back so many memories, and you also see that he has a sci fi artistic imagination side of him as well, love can be found even on distant worlds as well. LOL, I miss the 80's era so much, but I thank God at least I grew up in such a wonderful time.

  • all my years growing up listening to this song i NEVER thought the video was gonna be like a bad acid trip lol

  • Love this song..But never saw the video.Pretty freaky,haha :-)

  • Yes, this video is pretty Star Trek (no offense, my favorite ex LOVED Star Trek)...But how can you ignore the voice, flow, and meaning behind the song?

    I wanna be your lover,

    more and more each day.

    No complaints here. Of course, I'm probably in the minority but who cares? :)

  • My favorite Ocean!

  • symbolic reptilian bullshit

  • Billy Ocean would make a great Lando Calrissian.

  • Happy Birthday

  • always loved the energy of this song. it just moves you.

  • does anyone else rewind the ''oooh ahhh ooooh ahhh '' part at the end and listen to it over and over again??. that melody is so killer

  • @OralAgreement69

    That's SO funny you mention that. I was JUST doing that myself watching this video! I really like the sound of the background singers on this track. It perfectly matches Billy Ocean's lead vocal. The whole "back-and-forth" (oooh ahhh oooh ahhh) between them towards the end of the song is EXTREMELY addictive!

  • I still love this song! It makes me want to dance.

  • i sell got the 45 grat song ?

  • Gee, was he in a STAR WARS kick when he made this video? Sure looks like it;It's both great and funny!

  • i just dont know.....

  • OMG did I seriously grow up when music like this was popular.. HaHa.. Gotta LOVE IT~!! 80's

  • Yeah!!!! Back when MtV was actualy Music Television. I think the first mtv video I saw was Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife"........ What did they do with all the water in the pool.....lol

  • This video was whack, even by 80's standards.

  • LOOOOVE THIS STUFF!

  • This song is my favorite! This song isn't played that much on radio for flashback much though. When this came out though I saw the video and heard this many times on radio!

  • jammed this song with chicks in bikinis jumping on our trampoline inside the house w/ a strobe light on. no shit. college.

  • @gmfastburn I love the fact that you took that kind of action to this song. Some people make fun of me becasue I promote the hell out if it. People thing Billy Ocean and automatically thing Get out of my Dreams and Into my car. This Loverboy track. Is a Rock n Roll song

  • one hell of a song

  • Video is way out there, but I can relate to how Star Wars influenced it. But the song is AWESOME. Its heartwrenching.

  • OUTSTANDING! I love the second rate Jawas. 

  • Wanna be your lova, lova, lova......mmmm.....LOVA-BOY !!

  • KIller intro

  • @biggraz1 You can thank Robert "Mutt" Lange for that killer intro. He produced this tune, and also did the "Pyromania" and "Hysteria" albums for Def Leppard.

  • @gryphon202 He also did the Bryan Adams Reckless and The Cars Heartbeat City albums.  And most of the songs on those albums had killer intros.

  • Btw, LOVE this song!

  • Yeah, Adam Lambert could pull it off. we should tweet him!

  • song is great but i don't understand why there are monsters in this video

  • @ChannelingusIV it was the 80s, i guess it's better if we don't ask. LOL!

  • This is a classic song!!!

    Greetings from El Salvador!!!!

  • Love it!!!! :)

  • 80s video success= Jawas (star wars), Gelflings (Dark Crystal), droids stayrring a 2 legged horny goat on horseback with laser gun and bad ass attitude.

    Bonus= Billy Ocean floating in 80 high tech pyramid

  • @pumpkinbref Also, the beginning is a lot like the end of 'The Neverending Story'

  • This song kicks booty!

  • I was at a yard sale about 13 at the time when i bought a 80's hits cd and it ad this song and ever since then i lived in the 80's

  • c'est quoi ce film? Il existe ce film ou c'est juste fait pour la vidéo?

  • THIS IS WHY I WISH I WERE AN A&R PERSON.I LOVE THIS SONG,AND EVEN THO IT HAS 80S WRITTEN ALL OVER IT,I THINK ADAM LAMBERT COULD FLIP IT,REMAKE IT,AND MAKE IT A HIT AGAIN 4 HIS NEXT ALBUM.FACE IT HE CAN HIT THE NOTES,HAVE U EVER TRYED SINGING THIS?

  • @POORGEORGIE1 Dam I think Lambert could remake just about anything. Should've been the American Idol in my opinion.

  • One of the greatest songs, and the greatest opening guitar riff EVER. You can't sit still. You just wanna run and be freeeeeee.

  • @birdisland id have to agree with the opening riff. the greatest.

  • This just shows you how far-reaching the influence of Star Wars was back in the early 80s. It affected everything...even stuff that it had no business influencing. Like this song. Which is brilliant, but seriously... this video, with these lyrics...no sense whatsoever.

  • @LA73JP @la7wtfever... maybe star wars influence on the video but c'mon numnuntz. this song was original

  • attencion;;;if you drink ,not riDe on a horse,,,

  • ...so then the bartender says, "Why the long face?"

  • Ocean Roll'd XD best roll'd song I've ever heard

  • you don't like billy ocean don't listen to the song I'm not forcing you to click on the playlist. so I grew up in the 80's. I guess I don't get the nature of your comment? you just trolling or what?

  • Hey its Lando Calrissian!

  • @shannonohara this song came out shortly after the empire siezed control of the cloud city and Lando went missing, Han was in corbonite and Leah recovering from the lose, Lando sold records under the title of "Billy Ocean" for a while before becoming a bounty hunter "slash" body guard for Jabba and gathering enough info for Luke to form a plan to rescue Han. The song is based on Lando's secret love for Leah, may the force be with you :) This is Casy Kasem singning out for American top 40.

  • I didn't know Lando Calrissian had a video.

  • @speedyspooley  lmao

  • <---- agrees with everyone RE: awesomeness of video. Only, I wish he had given the guy a fighting chance instead of just sucker-blasting him.

  • I loveeeee this song it's hotttt.

  • As I understand it, Billy is/was a huge sci-fi and star wars fan...hence the sci-fi type video...i love the vid, and the song itself is the absolute bomb. :)

  • What a great song!!

  • I love billy and this video. such a great voice. something quirky and unexpected like this would never be done in a pop video today.

  • wow, so many copyright infringements in a single videoclip!!!

  • George Lucas under acid...I love this !

  • @MrOknoprob LOL!

  • One of the best songs ever made,and such great sound quality!!.Amazing thanks for posting it brings back great memories : )

  • Best Billy Ocean song ever

  • @Adricboy I think Carribean Queen is but still love this song.

  • @Adricboy Thanks to Robert 'Mutt' Lange for co-writing and producing.

    Related. Why did Loverboy NOT remake this song? This could be their theme song like In a Big Country for Big Country. Afterall, they did the Lange song Lovin Every Minute of It.

  • This is a great song.

  • Brilliant track - very "Return of the jedi"-esque video.

  • weird video but the music is fantastic even for today s standard which isn't much

  • I love it :D

  • cool song and cool singer :) ☺☻®

  • This would make an awesome literal video!

  • great song but all through the video i expected the whole star wars gang to appear

  • buen video

  • Hit #2 pop, #20 soul in the US (Billlboard). the 2 note guitar riff reminds of 'do you believe in love' by Huey Lewis. How'd 'Loverboy' do in the UK? God bless!

  • @DaveWollenberg It reached #15 in the UK.

  • wow, this sound lose nothing from his brilliancy, and that after a so long time! GREAT!

  • nice tongue

  • It's like Star Wars Episode VI actors lol But song is outstanding cool and ctachy
