Billy Ocean -- Lover Boy

[Taisho999]

I remember there was a alternative video to this song made later where they showed only Billy Ocean singing on a sound stage with strobe lights, because some thought video was too disturbing.

[doormagic]

Its almost like star wars and a litle of kubric.

[TheMate01]

imma walk with my fists on my waist like a boss

[TheSpaniellover]

[yourallbrainwashed]

@ 0:35 god dammit this part just keeps playing over and over in my head??? that damn funny ass bouncing hat just-a-bouncin to the beat of that guitar.lol

[00camaro71]

IS THE GIRL BETTE MIDLER ?

[mrhappyguy1980]

I love the kid on the horse in the ku klux klan outfit Awesome!

[tampaboyjason]

I loved me some Billy Ocean. For 1985 this video had some good special effects and great costumes.

[sbrooks0178]

That muppet chick looks just like Julia Roberts.

[AustriaTop40]

anyone else, who has or had this fluorescent green maxi single you could only look at using your sunglasses? :-) thumbs up!

[Snakecharmer369]

You gotta love this song..

[Gregory2062]

It's a reptilian song !!!

[NicolaWriter]

I remember this vid when I was a wee girl. It is very disturbing even now,lol.

Great song!

[spereiras]

wow I feel a kid again

[Nieghorn]

Was this video produced by George Lucas?

[TRA6023]

so I wasn't the only one who thought Lando was singing! :-)

[edturner75]

used to love this video!!!

[vladiberaun]

cual es el nombre de la pelicula?... the name of the movie .. was a sountrack?

[murcielago9999]

@vladiberaun oye tarado no lo ves?

STAR WARS 7 Rise of the shith!

jajajajajaja!!

[j2times2006]

Underrated song and video in its day

[Jimmy911ism]

He cold-bloodedly murders the guy she is with so that he can have her. The concept is wrong.

[sawitofff]

Love the Video and i know that i'm not alone when i say that i think that the alien chick is HOT !!!

[cbr954ny]

I feel like listening to this when i ride my horse

[pablomaldito666]

que bichos mas feos :S

[lewisner]

2011 and we still don't have robot bartenders.

[9777888]

i saw this video when i was 13. it was shown before film that called "aliens 2". in that time i got a lot of impressions by it.

[lngbnestn]

I usually listen to harder stuff, outlaw country, AC / DC, classic rock, just something about this song still rocks.

[basherroy]

I'd love to hear a mashup of this song and the SW cantina song!

[iagomo7572k22]

Billy ocean lembra a tonia kkkk

[Holywhippet]

Not sure I'd call his actions heroic, he doesn't even give a warning before shooting the other guy and hauling the woman off under protest.

[oscarrlopezg]

I remember watching this video when i was a little kid... so heroic! you gotta fight for your girl! Definitely 80's man!

[granddad2002]

Can't wait for the 'Special Edition' of this video, with new effects.

[sponooch]

someone please HD this video :) it's so good but it's needs to get a clean up

[pirateofthecarabiner]

@sponooch It's about the same quality it was 25 years ago...

[sponooch]

@pirateofthecarabiner yeah i've noticed it.. thought it looked better when i was 15 years old, back then

[pirateofthecarabiner]

@sponooch My memories of the 80's are all about this quality, so it's hard to say what it was really like back then (:

[trifulquita15]

the history was cool

i wish they could make a movie

[kenc1161]

Damn This just shook my memory to the core......

Great Vid

[yyttroll]

This is an 1980s gay club!

[Muazin1000]

Loverboy ... for ppl who wonder about this "strange" videoclip. Love has no boundries. It is universal!

[soad141991]

1 fucking idiot put dislike and he don't know anything of music!!!!!!!!

[xinesi97]

AWESSOOMMEE!!!

[13101988andoni]

3:54 AND ON....SOUNDS SO BEAUTIFUL...SO EMOTIONAL....really intense...that synthetized background sound....am i the only one that realizes?

...thank You for the upload...

[80sgirlzrock]

What kinda crazy "return of the Jedi meets the dark crystal" video is this?! I love it!

[Jimmy911ism]

@80sgirlzrock What's the dark crystal?

[TheEnri4]

@Jimmy911ism i just got the same thought u had dark crystal how funny but still a great vid and a jammin song

[archetypecentral1]

Dancing about at my desk, god I am sad ha ha.

[NieuwsgierigVolk]

[hippiefreak66]

[danthehitman741]

[riverchick23]

Unbelievably awful video, awesome song.

[binka21]

@riverchick23 shut up it's a great video your just jealous

[riverchick23]

@binka21 yeah, jealousy - that's it.

[mancminx2]

@riverchick23 awful because it has no naked girls in ?? back when talent sold and sex didnt !!

[barthburger]

Amazed family guy has never made reference to this video

[say2875]

superbe



[LysBlanco]

Star wars all the way!! I loved this song, and still do! BUT, if I was the alien girl, I would kick greedo-wanna-be in the nuts, and left alone, or with the alien of MY choice (han solo)

[ThePragmo]

The most haunting Billy ocean video of my childhood..

[LysBlanco]

@ThePragmo

the guy at 3:09 especially......and when the monster kept showing his tongue..... :(

[munnabhai17]

this is my all time favourite!!!

[demicrug]

beka z klipu

[smittsteve04]

videos will never be this good again.

[Prisionero886]

Esto es música de los 80's .. !! 

[epb0205]

Are you kidding me lakings13? This video is freaking awsome!

I'm not sure about my memory though, but I think this version has been edited a bit. I don't think Billy Ocean himself was in it that much if at all. I also seem to remember the shootout before he grabs the girl being a hail of laser and blaster fire, not just the one shot the "loverboy" fires.

Can anyone help me out with that?

[OneEyedJack1970]

@epb0205 I think this is a dub. The original did have Billy Ocean singing and stuff, but I remember goat-head snorting and lasers blasting everywhere, which I can't hear in this version.

[Necrophax]

Always reminds me of the cantina scenes from the original Star Wars but the costuming / makeup is a couple of steps lower....

[lakings13]

It's ironic that one of the greatest songs of all time has one of the worst videos ever made..

[GNUT666]

@lakings13 lol so true!!

[MAGNUM2F]

this was a class song. video was cheesy as hell though but entertaining...

[jjsassenach1]

Does anyone know if the video is based on anything or where it came from.

absolutely brilliant , first saw this as a DJ in Switzerland 1985

[bearlop]

Durdle door...Always knew Dorset was full of aliens!!!

[ChocolateMyrrh]

@bearlop LOL

[AbandonedCorpse]

GROTESQUE! :o

[MrFreitard]

[crouchhill]

Singers of today, learn, this is how sing.

[SERGIO5278]

EXCELENTE TEMA...UNO DE MIS FAVORITOS

[JZTCS]

80's rules

[MsLucybel]

[josechitoxD]

exelente cancion

[TrexsterInNC]

This is my favorite old video to watch on youtube.

[DjDelli]

I remember this clip, billy ocean a real lover boy^^

[iliutzza25]

HAI CA ASTEA IS BUNE=)))

[rumplestiffskin]

As a director, how do you direct such a nonsensical piece of shit like this video? Do you just get a bunch of random shit and random people off the street and tell them to just do whatever they feel? Good song though.

[lewisner]

I drink in a bar very much like this.

[DaveWollenberg]

Born Leslie Sebastian Charles. Billy hit #2 in Billboard, 2-23-85. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[Guybrushukuk]

Just saw him live at Holmfirth for the first time. His voice is still incredible, a great show

[hernita88]

80's \o/

[saversteel]

...billy ocean seems Lando Calrissian, in this video! :)

[therealraybaby]

R.I.P. Keith Diamond.

[solorio5]

This video is proof that Bill Ocean use to pilot the Millennium Falcon...

[Paniceee]

One Of The Best 80's Artists !!!

[bayleaze]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH IM< OBSESSED!

[ronpack]

this song is great but WTF is this video? stupid white people ruining it lol j/k

[YummyChaSiuPork]

That's shot in Durdle Door.

[HLGFreeman]

I was only 7 when this video was released and I thought it was the most badass videoclip EVER but somehow I thought it had something to do with Star Wars :S hehe

[flipmenex]

Great song, 50 Cent's dad!



[keewatin427]

Purple haired alien chick looks like Leona Lewis.

[aha00002]

@keewatin427 lol to think of it thats true...^.^

[mirko69001]

yeahhh you are soo right janistahl.. makes me just wanna dance all night loooong..

[pktrueno]

excelente la toma cuando el reptiliano esta cabalgando en la orilla del mar.

[jarmel18]

This song is one of his best...

[unacosaesunacosa]

Didn´n know that lando was a singer!!!!

[simon12798]

@unacosaesunacosa you racist asshole just cause hes black dosent mean that he looks like lando

[gptvproductions]

@simon12798 Hey, I'm not racist at all. I'm white and 70% of the music I listen to is from black artists from the 60's, 70's and 80's. This video totally has a Star Wars thing going on. There is definitely a Lando thing going on here. There are so many racist comments on You Tube videos it makes me sick to my fucking stomach. Saying Billy Ocean looks like Lando in this video is the LEAST racist comment I've seen. It's a damn compliment for fucks sake. Lando is the man and so is Billy Ocean.

[ShiningShiva]

@gptvproductions It has both a Star Wars AND a Dark Crystal feel. Maybe because Jim Henson both puppetted Yoda And the complete "cast" of Dark Crustal... That kinda girl we always see inb this music video looke wayyy too much lije Kira in The Dark Crystal....

[92longisland]

@ShiningShiva Actually it was Frank Oz, not Jim Henson that puppetted Yoda from Star Wars. Yes, the girl looks exactly like, and probably is, Kira from The Dark Crystal. And you get forget the Jawas from Star Wars in this video. The scene inside reminded me of the bar in Mos Isley where they found Han Solo and Chewbacca.

[Jimmy911ism]

@simon12798 how is that racist? he does remind me of the character. I smell a troll...

[gmansi]

@unacosaesunacosa yes, and also Chewbacca is a great singer, he use the stage name Chumbawamba, watch Chumbawamba - Tubthumping :)

[janistahl]

80´s music rocks!!!!

[nightstreetWalker]

this is better than the one in the sony channel

[alvon911]

Good old Mutt Lange!
