Sigue Sigue Sputnik - Dancerama

[ANTFANTASTICO]

RIGHTY RIGHT lets go..... This band made the 80's cool ......... Time to GO GO 

[aynarahavok]

Dance Dance Dance in Berlin...

[TheFuzzyDreamer]

Anita is alright.......I love you, the way you are. Eddie is alright??

[traschene]

I am an eternal SSS fan!!

[paulthepill]

cool.....

[waxyway]

The best band ever.

[leftdust]

Stunning - simply stunningly gorgeous track.

[Blitzer2673]

Leck mich am Gesäß, dass Teil ist immer noch Weltklasse!!!

Gänsehaut non stop

[cjzavos]

What's up with the Reptilian eye at 0:01?

[MARLONSKiUnusual]

Really great song, and the images.. so long before 'GagGag'

[glammm101]

SSS!! LIVE!!!

[highpvt]

What an UBER cool song!

[Shiny317]

What do you mean, IF they released this instead of POS Success. This was released, in fact twice. First as a B side on 7" Magic Flute Mix of Sex Bomb Boogie (German release) and then later remixed as a single in it's own right , 7", 2 x 12"s, 12" picture disc and a CD single. Tony James is cool, I was nearly a roadies for the Sputs and he lives in the town over from me :D

[kimratrockmetaleirof]

cool music and video...

[jffournier]

Neal-X is one cool son of a bitch.

[djbethell]

If they'd have released this and not that pile of shit Success maybe they'd have stood a chance.

[paulthepill]

yeah they were big for a week back in 1986....

[BaronVonLichtenstein]

I love that song. Is This the Future is also great.

[lulu73barry]

OMG blast from the past how ace!

[Thyledge]

Not an avid fan of SSS, BUT , this is one of the best songs I have ever listened to. I am sure I have replayed it over 200 times.

Thanks SSS for the great tune.

[Kammler03]

LET THEM BE : "ONLY POSERS"+ HYPE !!!

BUT,finally :THEY WERE GREAT BAND !!!

[milano1919]

i do not think so.

someone of them came from a punk band with billy idol and another one played in Freur and then in Underworld

[DrTremendous]

None of them were in Freur. James was in Generation X with Idol before Sputnik. Afterwards he was with the Sisters of Mercy briefly and is now in Carbon/Silicon with Mick Jones from the Clash & BAD. Kananagh was in BAD II after SSS, also with Jones.

[milano1919]

in an interview i've seen a man who was like karl hyde

[DrTremendous]

Underworld are my favourite band of all time. Karl Hyde was never in Sigue Sigue Sputnik, I can assure you. Honestly.

[pauleteccr]

Dancei muito essa musica nas festinhas de predio no fim dos anos 80!!!

[chaijm]

is the dancer meg stuart ?

[weegerri1sm]

It might yet happen!

[joechill1]

I love the first album, but this is complete bullocks. Half a point for referencing La Jetee.

[nixswatson]

My fave song! The drummers, Chris Kavanagh and Ray Mayhew who were, in my opinion, the best looking, never get any damn credit! SSS are frigging shite without them!!! I love you Chris and Ray always!!!

[neildonoghue]

im not mad about the 2nd album stuff but this is a classic...would make a huge hit again now as a remix or cover!

[tribenine]

yeah this is pretty much the only decent song on the 2nd album, but what a great song. Tony James never did have the Malcolm Mclaren touch he thought he had...

[neildonoghue]

Tony James had a tougher job without a 'revolution' to assist, he still succeeded...Sputnik came outta nowhere..Hes a damn genius better than McClaren!!!

[tribenine]

And absolutely no one outside of us knows the name of sputnik or James. I'm guessing Mclaren won this round.

[neildonoghue]

roll on round 2, tony no doubt will come up with ideas unheard of before..i like him because of this he can make new things happen :))

[fatpizzaman]

I think Tony got too carried away with it and let it get to his head, and thus alienated many people in the process. Musicians are generally not very good businesspeople, that's why they need non-musos to guide their career.

[Kitty0wl]

Well they were quite right on the future of rock n roll. Long live SSS!

[orc0henricco]

das ist einer der schönsten songs von s s s neben love missels f1-11 und century boy

[etone888]

SSS was great!

I had a 12" record where the cover was in anime, a boy and girl having sex and it was censored with a sticker... anyone remember that? Forgot if it was Dancerama or Love Missile or an album... I miss vinyl

[tjodolF2]

It was Dancerama. The regular 12" has the boy kissing the girl, the remix 12" has the girl getting out of her clothes, but the boy looks kinda shy. They're not having sex, but if the girl doesn't freak the boy out completely, they might soon. Cute!

I have it from Sputnikboss TJ personally that the genitalia were censored on all copies - it's not actually a sticker, you can't peel it off!

[mignonhenne]

DID JAPAN GET THIS ?

[cman7142000]

after a friend of mine brought over SSS cassette i was hooked right away i went from mostly Scorpions;Zeppelin,the doors to mostly New Order,joy Division,Ministry,front242 and so on..So SSS had a big influence on me...

[KittyKrash]

I really love this song!

[wertstahl]

I can not remember a band that ever expressed more honest coolness than SSS. Born to be stars i say.

[80stimeagain]

I like the sound of this song.

[barbarabgomes]

Oi gente hhehehehe

[ginopepino3000]

einfach nur genial. Am besten hat mir der Part mit der Jacke gefallen. Hätt' sie gern ergattert... ;-) Darja Behnsch, Autorin von 'Diagnose: Schizophasie', 'Mariposa' und 'Obsession,

[AndyPandemonium69]

Well im adding a comment now to say that this is indeed one brilliant tune.

[gyggedy]

only 49 comments for an unknown yet superb song of 80s

[BBQFlow]

I really like the way you wrote the info, Foncete!

You started it in a common way, just telling something about the video, but THEN - the surprise out of the blue! And what would be more perfect timing for a surprise than unpredictably in the very end?

I don't know whether you tried to arouse that wonderful feeling of surprise in the reader, but it worked for me! Thanks for the video and especially the info, Foncete!

[BillyWarhol15]

Dieser Song ist einfach nur geil. Ich kenne ihn schon seit Jahren, aber es ist immer wieder ein Vergnügen, ihn anzuhören. Klasse! SSS sind großartig! Dieser Auftritt war einfach nur genial. Am besten hat mir der Part mit der Jacke gefallen. Hätt' sie gern ergattert... ;-) Darja Behnsch, Autorin von 'Diagnose: Schizophasie', 'Mariposa' und 'Obsession, Sinnenrausch & Bella Donna'

P. S.: ;-)

[paulthepill]

coulda been an early roxy music number....

[whammersbach]

are you lonesome tonight? how retro und futurismo at the same time

[raul17lu1990]

Que gran cancion y que gran grupo

[deedeekvltQ]

copy a film" Jetée, La"

not SSS original style,SUCK

[PerGus]

It sounds like a mix between Duran Duran and Polysics...

I wouldn't be suprised if Polysics has been inspired by these guys in some way

[blackicede]

Yes, they have. Them and Devo of course (what's kinda obvious if you know Devo ;)).

[junglefighter25]

These guys were so far ahead of their time.... It's too bad that they didn't get the recognition that they deserved.

[peggymount]

Fab!

[phacelesshero]

I have loved this song since I was 15 and the video is great. Sweet cyberpunk prom ballad. Ahead of their time. If sputnik made more songs like this they would probably still be around today.

[OnTheRazorsEdge]

They ARE still around today.

[diegestalt]

they are before my time,

but

s$s are the best band ever!!!! <3 <3 <3

also....

|=uck ne1 who says otherwise.

[eddy187]

Anyone remember the cool Manga style CD cover for this single?

[mattfran]

yep - and the ruder 12" Kashmir mix version!

I have them both. And the Picture Disc.

[rongravy]

This, and all their music, is da BAWMBBB!!!

Come check out MY Sputnik video I made. It's a little steamier, and RAGE!!!!!

[PFras]

There's an interesting article on Chris Marker's still photography over the last fifty years in the latest edition of UK film magazine Vertigo. Vertigo regularly features Marker and similar filmmakers. The Vertigo website has details and free articles.

[Sklax]

Une petit bijoux musical, hélas oublié des charts.

[bauhausx28]

gran banda del cyberpunk

[paulthepill]

[rbiro77]

[ANWL]

[vozvegetal]

[clion1234a]

holy shit! sigue sigue sputnik does a ballad! and it's crap too!!

[Houndog2007]

[qashqaiclub]

Your never heard "Atari Baby" then..., there's teenage crime cause fashion dead, guess you wear the same as your chav mates then!

[martijnflorian]

love it

[ciqta]

ahora en español... hay algun latino parlante que conozca SSS... a veces creo que soy el único... son espectaculares... el war sistem estaba incrustado en la cabeza de algunos... en la cabeza de los que veían las noticias.

[chemotoxyc]

when I was young...

[CorinneMarguerite]

How could i have forgotten SSS? thanks for posting; this one is cool.

[prestolovesvarla]

Wow! this is cool! Cheers for posting

[screamingslave89]

I'm only 17 and I fucking love Sigue Sigue Sputnik. First heard them in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City about 5 years ago, and didn't manage to track any of their stuff down until myspace and youtube got big. I love loads of '80s bands but Sigue Sigue are the unsung heroes

[monger222]

what song was on grand theft auto?

[jordanlinton]

the video version of Love Missile F1-11.

[ciqta]

hey man... im from 80's, and the only thing that make me introduce in the PS2 and others is the music's gta vice city, i heard a game with 80's music and i wanted it. Crazy thing, a few people know SSS, but GTA is too big... oooff!! in escenaries and music.

[paulthepill]

excellent

[soheil87]

80's rocked 2000's suck's yeah

[DragoOZ]

Totally! 90's sucked the bag as well.

[monger222]

thanks for putting this up...great memories from SSS!!

[davidmassola]

i'm from brazil.... sigue sigue sputnik is big band !!

viva year's 80...

and "a flock of seagulls" to big band... "i ran"

[wormster88]

love this song,not many from sss that i liked..but this one stuck out somehow..I'LL make your wildest dreams come true where was that from???

[TescoHumanoid]

Utter crap!

[leftdust]

the forgotten gem by the SSS boys...

[TallBunny]

They should leave the slow moody stuff to Roxy Music and stick to the stuff they do best = uptempt dance pop!

[algabal]

I actually like their slower songs....

[libtech75]

Love this Song!! Reminds me of growing up in the early 90's! People swear they've heard this song in a Brat Pack Movie all the time even though no such thing ever occurred.

[tarotboy]

they sound like the band 'suicide' in a way

[spasser]

Sputnik rules!!
