this song is so weird. i only heard it not too long ago for the first time and i thought that it was some recent rock song. only to find out that not only was it from the 80s but even by a band that usually only did more or less tacky pop songs...
Just looked up the lyrics. Since 1987 I thought they said "He's a Salvation Army Man". And here I've been shopping at The Sally Ann hoping I would meet the Man of my dreams. Guess I should move on. Anyone been to Value Village?
Posted this song on my profile...about three days ago... Reminded me of risky business scene with old time rock in roll song.. So posted that one to.Was bored. Having an 80's momment...Turned out to be a good day.
I do believe this is one of the best covers of a song that I have ever heard. I love Simon and Garfunkel's version but I love how The Bangles put a rockin spin on it and then turned it into such a kick ass Soundtrack song to one of the best 80's movies! The 80's put out some totally awesome movies. They just dont make movies like that today. Movies with substance and dealt with issues of the youth. What a great time to be alive back then. Glad I was there! Awesome song, Awesome movie! :-)

Watch and rejoice…this is Real !! Yes, it is He ! @ La Parola In Cuatro. (He even looks like ZEUS !!) + I’ve enjoyed your video
I'm an AC/DC, Stone Temple Pilots and Rush fan. I like my Rock but this song made me stand up and take notice...nearly fell outta my seat when I saw the video for the first time. Nice tune with an edge...they really took this song and made it there own!!!
@IDCFFSGTFO Exactly! The perfect opposite of crackhead Sheen. This guy has BEEN THERE DONE THAT and came out the other side - good for him! I remember seeing this movie when it first came out - best anti-crack advert ever!
I think I like Simon and Garfunkel's original version more, but the electric guitar makes the hook seem much stronger in this version, which I also like.
@IDCFFSGTFO I don't think that this song is well suited to S&G's vocal skills. They have other songs that they can sing wonderfully, but they just don't seem able to properly *sing* this song. OTOH, the Bangles' voices seem wonderfully suited to this song.
Even now they could replay this and make a new video out of it and show their faces which has changed by time. How beautiful it would be and tearful maybe.
@darrell2211 ..i know...the 80's were so fun and carefree.....also it was nice to have many record shops and music stores out there..it was all music practically...now it's too digitial and not personal....record stores were cool places to hang out
Wow! The first time I've heard this version! I love the Simon & Garfunkel version so much....but this is one heck of a cool remake....and I don't generally like remakes.
@TheMichaelSpock I was 11 and remeber the song and movie. I cried so hard when the charcater died because as a kid I was so used to happy endings and I really wanted him to survive. I am just glad that Robert Downey Jr. did not die in real life after what he's been through.
@sdseals2076 I was refering more to the great song itself and that time in my life. As far as covers go, it's outstanding. I didn't really see the film until 2000. I heard enough about it though in 87.
As someone who feels that no one really challenges the Beatles, this vocal harmony easily matches them, and in fact, exceeds. This is one of the most profound displays of vocal harmony that I have ever heard. I loved the Bangles. I'm sorry to see you go girls. You had more than you realized going for you.

when this song first came out the local radio statioin put this version together with simon and garfunkel version one right after the other it was great can not find one on youtube can not even find the original.
@crashsite000 nope your correct rick ruben produced it..they wanted to record the song with more of a live feel to it....still a great pop tune to this day!!
Truly, truly epic. One of the best bits of 80's music.
It's rare that a cover does good service to an original. It's even rarer that a cover is better than the original. Here we have such a precious specimen.
Good song. Always thought it was quite different than the original. After seeing this, I went to the S&G song and was surprised at how true the Bangles version is to the original.
Makes me wonder what other Simon and Garfunkel songs would have sounded like if the Bangles did them.
If you're too young to have ever seen the movie "Less Than Zero," you should check it out. The performances by Robert Downey, Jr. and James Spader dominate the film. Robert Downey, Jr. is scary good as a young drug addict on a downward slide to losing everything. Talk about "art imitating life" (or is it "life imitating art"...). If you want a James Spader double-feature, check-out "Bad Influence."
@crashsite000 Actually, in a couple of 80's compilation CD's I have, this song sounds very similar to this video. Maybe it's simply how it was meant to be recorded...??? I don't know. I do know that for a very long time, I thought there was something wrong wtih the first CD I heard this song on.
@Scobo11 the original was in stereo, and they mixed it so there is two parts.. the electric guitar would shift from left to right as that part was played.. but this is a mono recording of it, so part of the song is actually missing!
Easy, she twisted the guitar so that the side was between her legs and she proceeded to slide up and down the side of the guitar. That is how she humped it.
This version is NOT better than the original by Simon & Garfunkel. And that's just my opinion. I could go into why, but does anyone really care? (I'm not slamming this version, but the original in this instance is better).
Although they had a number 1 on the pop charts, I'm not sure they were better than The Go-Gos. I'm just not sure at this point. Nice tune, by the way.
It's particularly interesting as it is a very different interpretation of the music, rather than just a rehash of the original. The Bangles gave it their sound, rather than trying to replicate S&G's, which is pleasingly refreshing.
this song is so weird. i only heard it not too long ago for the first time and i thought that it was some recent rock song. only to find out that not only was it from the 80s but even by a band that usually only did more or less tacky pop songs...

This is my favorite song from the BANGLES. I wish I could live the 80'S again.

Good song. Always thought it was quite different than the original. After seeing this, I went to the S&G song and was surprised at how true the Bangles version is to the original.
Makes me wonder what other Simon and Garfunkel songs would have sounded like if the Bangles did them.

@SlugGoll: Excellently said! One of the best films of the 80's. I still watch it on Netflix.

If you're too young to have ever seen the movie "Less Than Zero," you should check it out. The performances by Robert Downey, Jr. and James Spader dominate the film. Robert Downey, Jr. is scary good as a young drug addict on a downward slide to losing everything. Talk about "art imitating life" (or is it "life imitating art"...). If you want a James Spader double-feature, check-out "Bad Influence."

the audio sounds messed up.. the guitar goes in and out.

@Scobo11 it may be because it is mono here instead of stereo.

@crashsite000 Actually, in a couple of 80's compilation CD's I have, this song sounds very similar to this video. Maybe it's simply how it was meant to be recorded...??? I don't know. I do know that for a very long time, I thought there was something wrong wtih the first CD I heard this song on.

@Scobo11 Bad panning in the mixing, it's stereo though. It's even in color! They acually had that back then!

@Pandaemonium1969 Yeah, the 80's had color.

@Scobo11 In stereo the guitar hard pans back and forth from left to right.

@Scobo11 I think it's always been off now that I think of it. That was my only pet peeve about this song :/
mommyshmear 6 months ago
@Scobo11 the original was in stereo, and they mixed it so there is two parts.. the electric guitar would shift from left to right as that part was played.. but this is a mono recording of it, so part of the song is actually missing!

Easy, she twisted the guitar so that the side was between her legs and she proceeded to slide up and down the side of the guitar. That is how she humped it.

This version is NOT better than the original by Simon & Garfunkel. And that's just my opinion. I could go into why, but does anyone really care? (I'm not slamming this version, but the original in this instance is better).

Best version of this song; so fascinating with the arrangement Bangles has done to it; matches the ambiance of the lyrics perfectly!!

Although they had a number 1 on the pop charts, I'm not sure they were better than The Go-Gos. I'm just not sure at this point. Nice tune, by the way.

It's particularly interesting as it is a very different interpretation of the music, rather than just a rehash of the original. The Bangles gave it their sound, rather than trying to replicate S&G's, which is pleasingly refreshing.
