  • Man, I've always loved this song! When we first got cable in '84 I saw this constantly and never tired of it! Don't think I've heard it since (my God, ALMOST 30 YEARS!) Great little rock n roll song. Didn't know Billy was Scottish. Well, Scotland always did produce great musicians...Cheers!

  • is fantastic!! when I was little I listened this song really brings me many memories, as if my past life

  • This is one of those truly awesome songs that you can rock to! Loved it right out of the box!!

  • Billy Rankin is now a DJ on Scotland's 96.3 Rock Radio - go on line and check it out.

  • We Billy hails from Kirkintilloch Scotland he's a real nice guy, the last time i saw Billy he was working as an HGV driver with ASDA grangemouth, i knew Billy from my teens and he is one of the few artists that can pick up a guitar and play a tune back to you after hearing it only once(no sheet music required)

    if you see this Billy hope your well.

  • I always loved this song!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

  • Still have the 45 wrapped in a zip-lock bag! Yes this is one my faves and one of the most underrated songs of the 80's!

  • OMG I have searched for this song forever I remember this on MTV when MTV foirst started and now I have found it YES!

  • Seriously, unfrikkinbelievable !!!!!!!!!

  • Great one-off hit -- so good, you wish it wasn't quite so short! The guitar is so infectious in this song, and the rhythm section really propels it along. Pretty good video, too -- interesting and clever, suits the song, and without pretentious delusions of grandeur.

  • @tjhoenecke

    Though not in Nazareth long term, I believe I did get to see him live in the band's lineup. Minneapolis

  • Ailsa! U making a claim 2 fame dolly? lol, love anna xxx

  • Can someone put here the song "Never in a million years"? PLEASE? Thankx!

  • con esta iniciamos algunos sets para que la pipol se prenda en la disco...

  • Billy does a grand job. I am happy he and Nazareth did their thing. I hope to see some more from these fine artists. Nazareth is awesome.

  • thats when rock music was going down the drain and the new romantics took over, thanks to guns n roses later on in the eighties when les pauls came back into the scene, then early ninties when grunge came in nirvana, stone temple pilots what a pile o pish....

  • DU BON ROCK COMME ON EN FAIT PLUS!

  • I LOVE this video! Thanks for sharing it.

    Nerdy Billy is kinda cute!

  • carajo es la mejor rola de todos los tiempos fue y es un boom de la musica ochentera esa la escuche por WFM ROCK con victor lujan sino me faya mi privilegiada memoria eso era musica no las porqueria de hoy

  • Here Billy, how come 'Baby' is not in the video? This is fodder for The Captain having you and your doppleganger running about!

  • Absoluter Kult

  • classic music.

  • Thank you for posting this!

  • es una buena cancion!!!

  • hes myy uncle :D his musics amazing,

  • I think it is so awesome that you are Billy Rankin's niece!!! I love this song!!! I have this video recorded on VHS and I have to say it always struck me as kind of an underrated hit but I seriously think this is one of the coolest rock songs of 1984. I've tried to find the album Growin' Up Too Fast on compact disc but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the United States. Regardless of that however, I think it's awesome that you are related to such an incredible recording artist.

  • I love Billy! I loved the work he did with Nazareth too!

  • Awesome Video thanks for share!!!!!

  • Billy now works for Rock Radio in Glasgow as a DJ. Tune in to his morning show on DAB radio. He still rocks.

  • Whatever happened to Billy Rankin anyway?

  • can someone tell me where can i find the complete lyrics of this song?

  • try the nazareth site there is a biily link on there i believe

  • @suntsoel Just Google "Billy Rankin lyrics" and it should come up in your search. Rock on! \@@/

  • Truly one of the best songs of the early 80's

  • Someone Know the tabs to guitar????

  • I found this tape in the basement. Listened to the crap out of it when it came out. Was still in good shape so downloaded it into computer then burned it to CD. This music rocks.

  • thank you for uploading this video, great song :)

  • I came across it on cassette tape, only the ending in tact! ARGH! I remember this video too, only after seeing it here!!! Thanx!

  • Thanks for the video

  • The only real good thing that came out of the 80's was the music & this was one of the best songs for the summer of 84!!

  • Man, I haven't heard this song in AGES! I remember having it on 45 back in the day...

  • love this song!

  • yay! I hoped this would be here.. I have this on vinyl.

  • WOW, what music, I really like this song.

    As would be expected from the 80's, What great time those.

    Time after time the best music that I have listened.

  • this is real music...not we listen today...

  • like the song , now where is the cd "growin up to fast" people!!

  • When this came out I thought he was ripping off Billy Squier! The whole sound is something right off of Don't Say No. Nothing like he would have done with Nazareth. Thanks for posting this bizarre video that otherwise would never be shown again!

  • great song and vidro from the 80's LOVE IT

  • Man...the good old days of MTV...when even if a video made no sense at all, it was cool to watch. I miss those days.
