ROCK & HYDE - Dirty Water

[simbamenew]

One of the best songs that they put out there...great song...menewsimba

[Razorzzful]

Still love this song to this day.

Dirty Water, a religion stained in God's eye.

Religion doesn,t save, it mocks the believers heart.

As the road leads you on , Christ stands there welcoming you.

[DRRwine]

Pop perfection.

[good222speed]

one of my best of the 80s.

[Hot80s]

Great One.

[kokanee2010a]

the real leybra2 you left out rush, saga,kim mitchell , you know bands that were far more recognizable and lasted a lot longer than the bands you mentioned . A kim mitchell power ballad is superior to anything bryan adams could ever dream of writing but since joe public prefer the simple stuff ......

[ThirdOfJune4444]

Excellent song! I listen to it at least once a week. Video's a little creepy, though....can't get past that moving bathtub feet thing. Yikes!

[sharkisland89]

Great song although I don't really understand the lyrics.

[jaworskij]

@sharkisland89 , the song is about leaving the Church because it lies to us about who we really are. Religion is in decline and one day we will just be spiritual ... everyone will meditate, everyone will have seen their past lives, everyone will be able to use their psychic gifts that The Creator gave us in the Beginning. No more war, no more poverty/wealth. ... Just Life.

[blorgensteen]

@jaworskij "No more war, no more poverty/wealth. ... Just Life."

Wish I could agree with you on that, but I don't see that ever happening. Not now, or 600 billion years from now.

[disturbeddude26]

Power song and for anyone who loves this song like I do go buy it off of iTunes is there go hurry! all the song are there I will and talk to me even the other ones that were never posted on YouTube even this one is there so don't miss out go buy it hurry

[ElectricPineapple79]

Just bought a synth...Anyone think they can help me figure out how to play some if this song? I'd appreciate very much!

[8BALT]

It's Jeremy Clarkson and James May from Top Gear! LOL, I loved the Canadian 80's bands. I loved the 80's period. The music just seems to have a haunting quality that just sticks in your mind.

[Maxmulham]

@8BALT Now that I think about. You're absolutley spot on! I just wonder if these guys (rock&hyde) were ever popular over in the British Isles. Honestly, this song has such a deep 80's British vibe (my personal opinion). Plus, Hyde is from Yorkshire apparently.

[LeCutter]

I both, thoroughly enjoy, and fully endorse this song.

The Cutter.

[museken]

Where can I get a copy of this song. The Payolas turned up negative for me. Why? change your name anyway. ??? This song has a place in music. I just want to be able to play it. I don't own a cell phone.

[Piercedmetung02]

tryinta connect this to facebook...gaw..its drivin me crazy. 

[sunflowerofpeace]

LOL, they are Canadian,oops took me 30 years <<<blonde ...and don't Forget Rush..The Guess Who...Parachute Club...TRIUMPH ;)

[ThirdOfJune4444]

Most wonderful!!!! Lyrics, music, instrumentals, vocals.....everything! I could repeat it all day! I'm not sure I get the video....the Pope in the bathtub? In dirty water no less. Oh well...I just LOVE the melody...I don't care if the lyrics & video don't make sense. Is it just me or do the swaying bathtub feet creep you out too? I'd have been traumatized if I had seen this as a kid.

[allwave80s]

...it's natural to sing this song, love the lyrics, thanks a lot.

[kingobikes]

I love this song.........so simple, yet so profound.

I sure wish iTunes would get with it and put it on there.....Phuckers!

[37BrianH]

One of the best groups of the 80s and there cajnadian

[disturbeddude26]

i would love someone do this song in chipmunk i am a major chipmunk fan i have about 100 maybe a 130 videos in chipmunk

[8BALT]

My dad used to have this on casette. I still remember listening to this everytime we were in the car. It was always this, tears for fears, springstein or crowded house. 80's was the shit for music. I miss those days.

[PentCup]

Incredible...I was 20 when this came out. I had the 'coolest' stereo in my Omni :) playing this loud! Gosh, when will 80's music like this come back?

[spiderymon]

I had it on cassette.  Listened to it while everyone else was listening to hair metal.

[MeanGene79]

8 people need their hearing checked.

[Thurbane316]

Rub a dub dub...

Surprised I hadn't heard this one before.

[Sheldon66]

@Thurbane316 .....Rub a dub dub.....Rock and Hyde in a tub!

[lucky27200]

Bob Rock is a genius.

[Foofer77]

love this song..

[goalieguy41]

great song and fantastic video

[paljoeyonce]

GREAT SONG!!!!

[MeanGene79]

Jack FM in Regina has been playing this song regularly in recent months. Before that, I bet it was at least 15 years ago I last heard this song. Brings back good memories, even though I was only 8 when this song came out.

[Browningauto5magnum]

ahh...such good memories from the 80's

[tyme4mike]

The 80's really brought Canadian musicians to the forefront but it wasn't as if they weren't there all along. It was because our neighbours to the south finally decided to open their biased airwaves to real musical talent. Yet, there were a lot of awesome Canucks artists before the 80's came along.

[5hanazar]

Boom FM might fulfill your 80's musical needs. I have not changed the station in my car since I found it.

Oh this song takes me back!

[theclashmaster1991]

Isn't a gothic song?

[MyceliaProductions42]

Omg...I was 17 when this song came out, and only I and a couple of people even knew who this band was. We were obsessed, I tell ya! Thanks for this!

[MRDEKALB17]

@MyceliaProductions42 so you were born in 1970? I love 80's music, kinda wish I grew up in the 80's so I could listen to it first hand! born in 1991 I only remember late 90's music and up. Now I only listen to 80's and its usually one hit wonders or non popular rock ones like these songs I like the most, just got into some bobby brown and I always liked phil collins!! most new music is shitty compared to 80's, even the 60's, 70's or 90's just dont have what the 80's did!!

[DivineScheme]

I remember this when I was about 6 or 7....Love this song thanks =)

[Redbirdgirl88]

i miss those times. i think i was in grade 7... i have this on my ipod now lol

[TheHMSillustrious]

I agree with MAXMULHAM...the music scene has been diluted with remixes and covers of bands ..clubs play barely tolerable crap...funny thing though..i fint that alot of 20 something kids seem to be looking back at alot of the music that the 70`s and 80`s even the 60`s...and say "hey!..what the hell have I been missing?"...and how many times have you heard..."i was born in the wrong decade"?..

[Martonio69]

Takes me back to being 10 years old living in Prince George, BC!

[crushedguy]

canadian boys ;)

[wynter89]

lol! This is one of my favourate songs from the 80s... but this is my first time watching the video... ... .. . it kind of disapointed me... but its the 80s...

[Pusfan]

The camera direction in this video is so freakin awesome. So's the song!

[TheRealLeybra]

A great great song form Canada. 80's canadian music was the best at that time with other great groups like Glass Tiger, Platinum Blonde, The Box, Honeymoon Suite, Loverboy, just to name a few.

[Narfcois]

You can't forget RUSH!!!!

[fewinhibitions]

@TheRealLeybra

You left out Saga, FM, Toronto to name a few more.

Or am I showing my age?

[AthenA2ptO]

@fewinhibitions oh hell yeah saga on the loose!! loved that song!!©

[hecatesmagickchild]

It was not a happy time when this song came out, I noticed how much people lied, it was the reality of life hitting my naive youth.

But this song was a relief for the anger I felt.

[edmonton67]

This takes me back to a happier time in life.

[lilfrefre99]

Fenway plays this when the Sox win a home game!!!!!!!!

[fuhrman66]

Keep dreamin friend..she'd be a grannie with no teeth now..hey Im 47 and she was old then and I aint no spring chicken..lol..

[sucharadder]

ty tytytytytytyty tyv vtyv

[54spiritedwill54]

Awesome! What a find.

[awilsonator]

"Kiss you when its dangerous" by 7 seconds

[dtownlove10]

I have never heard this song before.

[waltdisney828]

LOL i love that old guys hat with the HUGEEEE earz!!!!!!

[RADIO1990]

how about bob rock made metallica multimillionaires...another way to look at it.

[KurtmanJP]

Oh man, that dancing tub is gonna give me nightmares.

[MistyRainbows]

One will never grow old if they can look at these older videos and remember a time when life was free and sweet.

Still love listening to these 'oldies' haha

[Ebaum744]

Pah! These aren't oldies! These are still fantastic! only 20 years.. in my books it's not old yet! Frank Sinatra is oldies lol

[skunky1976]

Though Bob Rock made metallica suck, this song soothes my soul :)

[unstabledavid]

come on bob rock made mettalica suck? i lost respect for them when they said that where were all the kudos for the black album? st anger sucked because of metallica and them only after all who wrote and performed it? nuff said

[dwoodward1]

Thanks for this Video! I have been looking for "Talk to me" for a while now, and was wondering if anyone can direct me to it?

[PatientEye]

Saw these guys (The Payolas) last night at the Cloverdale Melleniun Park Canada Day celebration. Did this song good.

[her3rdriot]

This song belongs to anyone who feels that religion is to cult like:-)

[bsdtector]

Saw these guys live in "88. The power went out and they just kept singing acapella. They were so much fun at a small venue.

[csj1969]

very good year for music !!! Brings back some wonderful memories of my senior year !!

[tegdirb1017]

just the best song of 1987 from up there !

[bouchie123]

must be really dirty water by the end of this video.

[clintrock]

Ha the long haired blonde guy is Bob Rock. Guy who produced Metallica's black album, and another 6 or so for them. Also did Mötley Crüe's Dr. Feelgood and about 4 other albums, The Cult - Sonic Temple, Bon Jovi's Keep the Faith, Aerosmith, Our Lady Peace, Simple Plan, Offspring, Tragically Hip, and tons more. So yeah this is SO great to see his roots and how he started in the recording industry. he's definitely doing better for himself. Great 80s song here too!

[starzine]

still love this song!

[stanarthur]

Under the volcano was one of my favorite albums from the 80s. I actually still have it on vinyl. Oh if there were only a video for "Talk To Me".

[kurdtss]

There is, I should post it

[vegasbowtie]

@stanarthur there is....it's listed under the "payolas", rock & hyde's orginal name....i have it on my favorites....it's a great song and video!!

[maybenot84]

I'm checking out these videos from Eye Eye, Cats Can Fly etc... & I never knew that all these bands that I so loved as a young teenager... They are all Canadian? Wow!. Thank you so much for making my search so much easier. I'm in good company.

[carriersignal]

Yes! Thank you for putting this up. I had totally forgotten about this. Haven't heard it in 20 years. I think these guys were with the Payola$ at one time.

[BUTCHYKID624]

Awesome tune , CLASSIC thanks for the upload .

[powerliftingmama]

thank you for putting this on youtube

[la4132]

Awesome! What a find.

[bigelvis1485]

I'm glad I found this. I thought maybe I dreamed this up. I heard this a few times on the radio in 1987 and liked it. I only heard it a few times before they stopped playing it.

[Tuneman1984]

The viking hat guy kinda looks like Richard Kind from Mad About You...

[jimthe80s]

el mejor rock de los 80s, gracias

[C5galaxyy]

Bob Rock - Juno awards Saskatoon - 2007 - awesome guy!

[her3rdriot]

"your water is just as dirty as anyone elses, or even dirtier!"

[joerecon]

nuther one 4 Trudy the cutie!!

[michaelmoval]

LOL! Half of Rock & Hyde plays the soap rack as a guitar in the guitar solo part! When I was a kid, I used to play guitar with these things [I remember that in the video]!

[krazykritik]

..Paul Hyde ws one 'effed up' dude..ya never knew if he was having a conniption or a post LSD seizure..the way he jerked aroundth stage..and popped his eyes..but that's part of what made him memorable..and of course his toons rule to this day..

[Sheldon66]

No doubt a great tune! But Bob and Paul in a bathtub together? Geez, a bit cheesy don't ya think?

[moonpie99]

This a great song, too bad the video is lightweight. It could have been so much better. Maybe it was just the times.

[OlymPigs2010]

Jake the Flake FM! You definitely don't hear any of these great 80's tunes on the radio in Vancouver! The fm station here that promotes itself as the "Big No.1 Rock Station" plays the same old 50 songs over and over again with Led Zepplin making up the bulk of its playlist.Considering the millions in advertising this crappy station brings in,makes you aware of just how lazy and useless these "Big Shot" D.J. Assholes really are!

[Maxmulham]

soooo true. i mean there`s just soooo much great music from the 70`s through 90`s yet they play the same overheard rock i hear every day. dj`s here in Vancouver and Victoria are soooo lazy. its just unbearable at times.

[BeatleMatt]

I'd love to get a hold of the MP3 for that!

[kitten882]

Did you manage to get the mp3 for this song yet?

[Felixstryker]

come to Canada where it is perfectly LEGAL to download as much music as you want. No problem getting any song from the internet up here. And it is all totaly legal.

[AdamFNewfieBoy]

dude i'm pretty sure it's equally illegal in canada.

[Felixstryker]

Nope..the Canadian Courts passed a decisiona few years ago on it. Trust me dude, all us Canadians have thousands of songs in our music libraries and it is all FREE FREE FREE. Not just songs, but videos and anything you can download on the internet is LEGAL in Canada with the exception of Child Porn and Beastiality... which is obviosuly illegal.

[AdamFNewfieBoy]

man i'm a newfoundlander and this is literally the first i've heard of this.

this is great news in that case!

[nantrax12]

For now it's legal, the government is trying to pass a law to make it illegal. Enjoy it while you can. ;-)

[krazykritik]

impossible to enforce..these venues can help to increase sales of artist's older stuff..how would the ever divide up the fines they collect?..they certainly can't keep it for themselves as they would be collecting them for music they have no copyrights for..

[rg2027x]

these guys wrote some great songs..

[wvben]

This is the kind of stuff you don't hear much on the radio anymore. Truly a time when musicians cared about their art. Alot of internet radio stations play more of the obscure or forgotten stuff.

[Calnickel]

You still hear eyes of a stranger on the radio but never this song.  Thanks, brings me back to grade three.

[ElectricPineapple79]

Ah...those were the days.

[cdigdawg]

Awesome! You have no idea how long I've wanted to hear this song. Loved these guys. Thanks so much.

[catdude57]

love this song. They kind of remind me of Tears For Fears

[WhiskeySiagon]

Love this song also! Came out when I was in grade 8, just before I went to high school!

[cinchbassist]

Hey love this song. Back to grade 11. Thanx for posting it.

[videogameknowitall]

Thanks for posting! :-)

[DrAftershave]

great to see this back up on youtube. a classic.

[whistledog]

This was always my favourite track of anything Rock/Hyde did :)

[Remo53]

Thanks for finding this kurdtss. Paul and Bob never got the respect they deserved....with the Payolas, solo, or as Rock & Hyde.

[cinchbassist]

I agree. However Bob Rock went on to produce a lot of huge bands and albums.
