They played this song for me, the only one dancing on the floor of this small dive in Langley BC ten years ago. They staged the full show, dry ice and all for just a handful of people. Now that is what I call GREATNESS. Love people like that
@starsweet4 You don't need a time machine...They are still touring small venues and are as great as ever. When you listen to them they don't take you back to the 80s, YOU ARE in the 80s. That is their special gift. They allways stayed true to themselves
@starsweet4 I don't know Starsweet. They are performing in Toronto and Calgary in August, Santa Cruz, Las Vegas etc. You can also google Flock of Seagulls Tour 2010
Best ''Scouser'' band since the Beatles!! I heard the singer was a bit of a grouchy one though! i heard he won't sing this one anymore, and also I Ran!!
I remember this being a massive hit over Xmas 82. The hair, The Jupiter 8 and the video with those alien toys that bounced up and down on a spring which were the fad back then.
@seifukusha was joking but no shame working in a chippy. i hope one day i can raise to the dizzy heights of asking you if you want salt and vinegar on your fish and chips ;)
Just got in from A Flock of Seagulls gig in Colchester, and had to watch this again !!! the haircut is long gone... but the music still sounds fantabulous : )
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THIS UP!!! I thought he was lip-synching since this live version was just PERFECT!!! They all look great here and now I just wish I was there!
Paul has taken so many hits that I'm sure he so used to it. I'm just one of those people who will defend him no matter what. I think that the man is very gracious since you don't here him defending himself and that he doesn't run around fighting fires. I think he is very wonderful over all. You can't ell me anything bad about him. I just keep moving, it's all good.xoxo-Meda
sorry, I'm just really happy about getting to see videos of AFOS that have Paul, he just seems to have so many people willing to remember the negative. I know that sound silly, but, I only wish the best for him. Like rooting for the underdog. Tough gig-Meda
of course, here we go, yes, I watched the VH1 thing. He did admit usage, however, it's a new day, why disparage him continually. It feels bad to hear that mess. Why not focus on the positives of Paul's AFOS experience. Drunk or Sober, his work really was great. Be nice, I think he's wonderful. OK? I'm sorry if I made you mad. Don't be angry, I just happy about the video. have a nice day-xoxo-Meda

那個唱歌的髮形遠看像飛鷹頭,又像蝙蝠俠頭,也像魔鬼的頭,真的很有風格,當年設計這種髮形給香港人很怪異駭人的感覺,要是演繹歸納在今天2010年真的很有形前衛啊@@
