level 42 - something about you (official music video)

[buckeyecopperhead]

Remembered this one from then. Love the song, video is good, but the plaid suit man always gave me the creeps.

[FantasticExistence]

great song

[Tigerhartt]

Any clue why at the end of the video, they seem to pass right by the waiting Cherie Lunghi?

[gaae2000]

fnkg commercials....

[GAMINDORE]

In the 80 we used to workship those guys... Thumbz up if this song made oy dream...

[DNA1056]

That guys paintings suck.

[gaae2000]

is not SYNCH !

[Tigerhartt]

@gaae2000 and its actually a mirror image of the original, you can see this with the car driving position and the license plate..."Ram It" is backwards

[Crisszilla]

I've always loved this song, but the lead singer used to scare me. :oO

[stphndelvacchio46]

@Crisszilla the women in this video is hot at the end of the video when walk past her iam like there she is there she is nooooo you walk past her

[74choppzilla]

and mark king as the "evil clown"

[STEELROLLERONE]

If I ever took a train that went intercontinental that went into Great Britain I would play this song upon arrival.

[74choppzilla]

gotta love ann magnuson as the leading lady!

[verriberri]

i dont get the video

[iammontecristo]

There's something about this song and the video that I can't help but love. That is why I am here.

[MrJameswildcat]

great song brings back very good memories where are they today anybody know? great song

[TECKMASSE]

Oh la la great...official, THX

[nextproject90]

Wonder if the lead singer of this group ever did any acting? He could have very easily been a great one. Most of the videos from the 80s were totally stupid but this one stands out as a great video and a song that really deserved it. Also who could help but LOVE THE CAR.

[ryn528]

good stuff - from a guy born in 76' BTW

[adkpeakboy]

This is my favorite hit song of the 80's. I wish I could go back to the days where life was simpler, music was better, and MTV played great videos like this. Freakin Amazing... Life has been better since I've had my Level 42.

[stphndelvacchio46]

@adkpeakboy hey rap and rock is good they just got to go back to showing the videos i was on MTV TRL my last year in high school in 01 they were intervewing kids and with the ones they showed on tv i was one of them

[cheekymonkey0770]

[sheisaspider]

[kdwestbrooks]

It's not supposed to sound like that. Awesome song though.

[albertialpha]

this is one of y favorites 80's songs

[VinnyMonster1]

Great video, great song and the Clown character is pretty damn sinister!

[mojojijo99]

@ScottDConnor Ok but what does this have to do with the price of tea in China?

[iammontecristo]

I have been looking for this video for quite sometime. It's been a favorite of mine for quite a few years now, and it's a good song to listen to. Also, the last few times I have been on a train I couldn't stop singing this song or at least have it playing through my head nonstop.

[shack8110]

Happy Valentine's Day. Hope you can share a special moment with a special someone.

[soulfulcommandoetv]

This is a great example of a great music video #80sRock

[jou812]

Just a great song period

[SimonDolan]

Mike Lindup. Oh Yeah.

[TheSandyo19]

My ultimate favorite 80's song, hands down... Love this song.

[FoxsyDirtyRed]

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG...... Bring back memories, LOVE the 80's

[gewglesux]

i cannot believe my self.. when this came on MTV i could not change the channel fast enough.. it got very heavy rotation... i could not stand it.... a few years i wised up.. good job lads..

[blackromulan]

Oh, and by the way this is my all-time favorite song and video ever. LOVE LEVEL 42!!!

[blackromulan]

He's saying "We're only human after all..."

[poetgrande08]

correction...trying to read his lips...

[poetgrande08]

What is Mark King saying to the camera near the end? I've been to read his lips for 25 years!!! GREAT SONG!!!!

[89ColdFire]

that less vieuws, wtf It's a shame

[jogro1971]

that make and year is the blue convertible video?

[red03mitsu]

@jogro1971 looks like an mid to late 60's AC cobra. same as the shelby cobra built here in the USA

[misterbd]

wow

[bloodsling]

Mark King..freakin' brilliant

[MrJZchicago]

I can see something of that 1960 "feel good" movie "The Entertainer" in this video. In the black and white shots does Mr. Mark King look a little like Klaus Kinski the actor? Around the edges maybe? Really a great song and enjoyable video..thank you for the post..

[delphidae1]

the men sitting with mark, whom do they represent - wonder

[Mrzlarkie]

I been lookin for this song for years on youtube...finally somebody posted it...Thank you so much...I am subscribing to you right!!!!!

[homersimps1]

This video is undefeated at 430 to 0. I can see why.

[frankoherra]

This is a great driving song to hear on a Sunny day while crossing the 395 bridge to beaches, and seeing the beautiful intercoastal w/ South Beach a half mile ahead... Windows down, of course.... A tropical chillaxing track that never gets old. ..

[CyborgNinja7]

@frankoherra New wave does fit in well with Miami. Biscayne Bay is always gorgeous.

[sjdss]

favorite 80's song! 

[eightday]

Anyone know what Mark is saying at 3:14?

[tdoates]

@eightday "We're only human after all."

[eightday]

@tdoates Thanks.

[delphidae1]

mark's sexy look at 2:10 - i just love it

[delphidae1]

@delphidae1 sorry 2:07



[Clayton3287]

Essa música é muito legal, traz nostalgia dos tempos ótimos,tem embalo romantico,é uma música que pode seer tocada várias vezes do dia. alegra as manhãs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2011jlt]

[ederaviles1]

[TheBluetoob]

Thanks so much for posting this, love this group & been searching for this video for years.,,,You are the fukin Man !

[johnbrown53160]

always liked the shot at 3:04

[MrPadraic23]

cherie lunghi, fantastic actress played quinevere in Excaliber

[malaperdas30]

at last! the official video!

[ScottDConnors]

All the Best Elements of this Era combined into a Forever Classic!

Popping Bass, Hot Guitar riffs and licks, Sizzling Drums, Angelic Keys, Great Vocals and most of all - Soul!

Yes, these types of songs prove that White men do have Soul.

Scientists have proven there were only 2 "original mothers" - one from Aisa, one out of Africa!

Euro Whites migrated due North of Africa and do not look Asian, do the math?

[hoohaw1]

@ScottDConnors I am 100% WHITE!!!!!!! I am NOT ashamed to say it to ANYONE!!!! I do not, or, WILL NOT cower to anyone, to say it!!!! So many people these days are sooo worried about offending people, Im NOT!!! Im WHITE, and DAMNED PROUD OF IT!!!!!!!

[red03mitsu]

is it wrong that that clown-looking guy still creeps me out after all these years ?

[jonineese]

@red03mitsu

Haha! Is it wrong that I think he's a hottie?

[Micklegard]

Yes, right and left have been transposed, shown by the car registration plate on which the letters and numbers are like a mirror image; I was just curious as to why. I do like the song, though.

[Rogue3269]

This video is in mirror image form, meaning, reverse view. Backwards I Tell You! =)

[mal334455]

superbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

[MARTA45784]

MARTA LUCIA RJ-BRASIL 2012 LINDAAAAAAAAAAAA AMEI,MARAVILHOSO TRABALHO BEIJOSSSSSS PARA A BANDA

[hscmnbk]

i've always loved this song..and the singer ;)

[jonineese]

I am so hooked on 80's music! This song in particular I have listened to about 40 times in the last two days. (Can you say obsessed?) I had never seen the video before a couple days ago and now I'm also hooked on Mark King (the singer). He's an amazing bass player! Wow! And he was a bit of a hottie back in the day. :)

[mcul2112]

thanks for uploading! always loved this song/video.......the character in the suit.....

[13ringo55]

thats one good song and one fine woman..

[Micklegard]

Why is it the wrong way round? Left and right have been transposed.

[baire702]

@Micklegard trains in UK operate on left side of tracks like cars.

[djverdugo7]

Awesome 80's song!

[ShaneWilliamsHitler]

This is the best 80's song and sums up that "80s sound" that came mainly from the UK

[ctermaat]

@ShaneWilliamsHitler I've often said the same exact thing.

[ShaneWilliamsHitler]

@ctermaat where are you from?

[Kevra777]

This is the edited version @ 2:56, there was supposed to be a voice saying, "HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!....NOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo­oooo!

[1parlamento]

this is not the true audio ...

[TheDedasrle]

JA SAM 66-O.KAD SE SAMO SETIM KOLIKO SAM VOLEO OVU PESMU

[badgercub]

yes yes its the true video and what a great song

[Hot80s]

sadly the audio is missing the laughing clown at 3:00 and whats said at 3:12

[hgv1965]

I was 20 when this song was released..sounds as good now as it did back in the fantastic 80s..

[egigol]

I loved this song since i first saw this video on the television.

Thank you so muche for posting it.

[RetroJenny]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I love this song!

[Hellfire5500]

great song !!

[cqtaylor]

The video is actually about the dangers of dating British clones - particularly brunettes.

[djbosox]

So awesome.Thank you so much for sharing.The memories brings a tear to my eye.

[TheJameslehr]

The twin brother of CHINA CRISIS. 2 major differences between the 2: L42 had a couple of chart hits, CC did not, but CC was the more sublter of the two. I got all of CC's albums. Still I ought to give L42 another break. Above song/video is really good.

[Supersweetguy]

I think the reason why this video is being pulled off by Youtube, is because i highly suspect this is own by Sony Music Entertainment Corp.

[tubcaster]

The 1980s are the most musically prolific era ever

[MrFreeshut]

FANTASTIC MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[ftsjr]

One of the most definitive songs of the 1980s. A fantastic tune!

[robjohn584234]

Every time I tried to upload this Utube wouldn't let me. Good post.

[calvinkhaw]

One of my very favorite songs. Even a radio station in my country plays this song very often.

[mikeluvrs]

it was up then got took down. Thanks be to god it's put back up!

[neildarr]

great song

[KaristaSwiss]

I think the video is the lead singer KNOWING that all their Girlfriends (The same girl) is a BIOTCH.. so he (Dressed as a clown) sees them with HER ,... and in the end he Tells them how bad a Girlfriend (That's what he is mouthing to them at the end of the video....)

[ed731pdh]

Video has been reversed.

[subwaytunnel]

I remember this video back in the days when life was so much less stressfull---plus I wasa lot younger, good beat, cool tunes, good brews.

[Supersweetguy]

The music video of Something About You is directed by Stuart Orme, who also directed videos for the Level 42 songs "Lessons in Love" and "Running in the Family", as well as Phil Collins and Genesis. The music video appears in their video album Family of Five, released in 1987. Mark King is characterized as a dark magician. It represents the negative side of the relationship of Mike Lindup, Phil, and Boon Gould with their girlfriends, all played by actress Cherie Lunghi.

[extractdigit]

If you've ever been in love, you'll understand the video. And the guy with the cane is supposedly based on Laurence Olivier's character in "The Entertainer".

[GTMustangRider]

Finally, this video is back on You Tube! F^ckin' awesome!!!

[qwerty69ers]

love this song sooooo much!!!! love the music of the 80s and 90s!!

[YoursTrulyCharles]

1:06 The car has the steering wheel on the wrong side.

[JimHadar1]

@YoursTrulyCharles -- Not if you're an American.

[YoursTrulyCharles]

@JimHadar1 You are correct about the placement of the steering wheel. That being said, no American state has license plates that look like mirror-reversed British number plates.

[vaginalbloodphart]

Mark King looks very similar to Clockwork orange in a sense to me in this vid. Awesome Song and Video !!

[FlorrieDugger]

@vaginalbloodphart I get what you mean. I knew a skinhead who looked exacly like him back in the 80's.

[soulsistaxtreme]

Holy crap....no dislikes!!!!!! YESSSSS!

[Bedhead750]

Cherie = Quality!

[MrSrScott]

One of my Favorite 80's Videos!!! good to see it back on Youtube!!!!

[shaktazuki]

This video does NOT show Mark King to any advantage. Indeed, he's kinda freaky-looking in it. A very unfortunate choice of directors and direction, I feel, which probably did the band few favors.

[Supersweetguy]

I am forever thankful to the person who posted this music video. This video was removed by YT about 2 to 3 years ago because of copyright issues. I am grateful that you have posted this @ MrGuillermowilliams. You are my hero!!!

[kolbola]

1 or 2 pitch up on audio line

[Hot80s]

1:13 copied the scene in Purple Rain with Prince & Appleonia except with a Cobra instead of a Motorcycle.

[Hot80s]

unfuckingbelieveable. thank you.

[MariaCamilahincapie]

IS THE BEST SONG OF LEVEL 42 GREAT

[vaadaenmacchi]

whos the better bassist - mark king or john taylor?

[Hot80s]

@vaadaenmacchi thats a tough one :)

[MrBarr49]

Seeing this really brings back memories. Used to watch this video every Friday night on VH 1 and NightTracks back in the summer of 1986...

As for not understanding the video: the lead singer is on a train and he is imagining his woman with the guys (other band members) sitting across from him...

Always liked this video and is one of my all time favorites. Oh the memories!

[maniacmex7711]

Holy crap, I finally found this song that was stuck in my head since I was a little boy. Thanks for uploading this video.

[ramseyoandp]

reminds me of arnold schwarzenegger as mr freeze @2:08

[mikemondike]

Cherie Lunghi is a real looker in this one!1

[cangemiitalia]

I recall they toured with Madonna....

[Supersweetguy]

I feel so happy that this video was reposted again. This video has been removed from YT. Is this video owned by Sony? I hope this video does not get removed.

[jmms429]

Why so choppy ? Was so happy to find this again because it never lasts to long...I know because Iv'e tried myself.

[MyJunior1975]

Holy crap, someone finally uploaded the original video! There is a God!!!!

[timtaylor2001]

@MyJunior1975 It may be the original video (and that is cool) but listen to the audio, its been pitched up because they dont want youtube to mute it because of copyright laws.

[MyJunior1975]

@timtaylor2001 As long as I can see the video, I can live with the song being pitched up.

[Cristomicina82]

Es un muy buen clasico................ Yo creci con esta musica, muy buen video. Te felicito :)

[Tartarus1969]

This has always been a favourite of mine. It has never failed to lift my spirits. It is nearly impossible for me not to sing along.

[fencerex1]

THis official video is so hard to find but I remember it from old MTV days!

[rae77vikings]

DOES ANYONE HAPPEN TO KNOW WHAT THE GUY SAYS ABOUT 3:15 INTO THIS VIDEO?...THERE'S NO AUDIO TO WHAT HE SAYS...& I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF ITS ENGLISH?! IF ANYONE DOES KNOW & COULD ENLIGHTEN ME IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. MY EMAIL IS IM44MAG6@YAHOO.COM. THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD & ANY HELP WITH THE ANSWER.

[tonettek]

@rae77vikings It looks like he is saying" We're only human after all.........

[davidbachman2028]

@rae77vikings its "We're only human after all". Hope this helps

[MsMoonlight2]

OMG...

Thank you for Upload this video MrGuillermowilliams. U Rock Dude.

I have look all over for this video. Its my favorite song ever...

[BenDaMan85]

Is it me, or is this video off by a second from tha song. Watch it a few times.

[hotgothchic4u]

OK so the guy has kind of a pennywise from the movie IT look.

[vegetagirl1978]

I always liked this song,but never understood the video.

[Rollman1]

@vegetagirl1978 Me myself and I feel the same

[Bunzypoo]

@vegetagirl1978 He was in love with her but couldn't fully have her.

[D2Kprime]

@vegetagirl1978 : Seriously though, does any video from the 80's make any sense? LOL:0) Great memories though.

[GTMustangRider]

The music video is about a groupie, that girl that is with each of them, it's the same girl and the same girl at the end of the music video when they disembark from the train and they walk past her. Each of the band members imagines what it would be like to have a romantic companionship relationship with her.

[hightdan]

@vegetagirl1978

It's an 80s pop video. There is nothing to understand :)

[elixeroflife]

@vegetagirl1978 the video depicts a story of all the guys in the band were at one point dating the same woman (im not sure if it was at the same time or at different intervals) and they all got fucked over by her because she was being manipulated by the magician

[tomscarr1]

Fond memories on the couch watching these videos without a care in the world. They opened up some different musical flavors in 80s, 70s rule but there is always some good music being made

[a3tech04]

Finally!!! I've been looking for this version for a while. Reminds me of the days when I watched "Night Tracks" back in the early 80's. Thanks.

[laffcafe]

I appreciate you posting this video. This song is the whole reason to build a time machine.

[JennAnn1982]

OMG!! I have been looking for this FOREVER!!! thank you SO SO SO much!! My all time favorite band
