  • I love this song ... and the band.

  • This is one of the songs I'd be dancing to before the end of the world.

  • I love these. I grew up listening to 80's music because of my dad. Im only 15 yet think that music will never be as good as this :D

  • How many of you know that Ultravox was fronted by Midge Ure the same Person who Earlier wrote Fade to Grey for Visage ?

  • For those who hate the music today, it just sounds like you think music from now on will never be good, ever again. Look, respect each others opinions, but sometimes opinions can hurt, whether you meant to hurt someone or not.

  • I am sick of this arguing. Look, oldies rock. And I will admit that some of the music today is messed up (Give me ONE good rap song that doesn't sing about sex, drugs, parties or money), but not all media of the 21st century sucks.

    Some alternative is awesome, and not all pop is dead.

  • <3 gives me goosebumps and makes me cry every time...

  • @mightysparks You are lying! I never hit you! You are tearing me apart, Lisa!

  • Very cryptic, still bring me down to my knees.

    I wonder if South Koreans still scare the shit out of the situation like this vid.

  • Aaaah I danced to this song last friday, I loooove the 80's!

  • GREATTTT song. :)

  • I realise I´m old. How such a great song have only this amount of visits? Well, I like some groups nowadays but ,what happens with pop classiscs?

  • I remember my dad playing this song on his Top of the Pops record back in the 80's certified classic.

  • The video brings tears to my eyes lol

  • Soooo this is where Avantasia got it from. Thought I still prefer the metal one, the text is pure win.

  • they dont make songs like this anymore!!!

  • What would you do if you only had a few minutes left to live? Be with those you love? dance to your favourite song.

  • This song ROCKS!! i'm 16 and i think that the music today just little fairy whiney crap. it makes me throw up. I wasn't meant for this generation. Practically all my cd's consist of 60s, 70s and 80s, and some 90s. I don't even like the new movies that have been released past 4 or 5 years. I don't like the fashion of today, (hair) either! Seriously this generation SUCKS!

  • @ultrachasersfan at last a teenager who has great taste in music and fashion. I was a teen in the 70/ 80`s and they were fantastic for music and everything. We may not have had internet or ipods but we had a great time. I only wish i could have lived through the 60`s. The 80`s were pure gold for tv, music and fashion . We may not have had ipods or dvds but we had walkmans and vhs, ahh happy days.

  • @ultrachasersfan Lol @ throw up you made me smile with that comment. time moves on sadly this was the music, i wasnt born till 75. but todays tunes are not so bad. lol.

    .4eyesphotography.co.uk

  • @ultrachasersfan Thanx God young people still recognize brilliant music.

  • @ultrachasersfan you aren't the only one, I wish that I was born in 1955, and I hate the way they make fun of names from other countries

  • @ultrachasersfan dude,just because u dont like today's music,it doesnt mean it sucks....someone thinks that music from 60's suck...so keep ur comments for urself will ya?

  • @ultrachasersfan You're not alone my friend, a whole world agrees with you!

  • @ultrachasersfan ur right. my 90s teen generation sucked 2. i would have preferred to be a teen in the 80s oh god yeah. hahahaha

  • @ultrachasersfan yeah, the best thing you can do is keep telling your friends. I grew up in the 80s and most of what I could stand was not in the top 40. Of course, top 40 80s music sounds like genius compared to today. Part of the problem is the media has been taken over by morons. Music-loving djs don't have a say anymore.

  • @ultrachasersfan You are obviously an independent thinker. Power to you!

  • Somehow '84 was quite the year for sweaters. Now mine were in very tasteful earthtones & weaves. Too bad I was too young to think about mothballs. Another fun thing, the sets & locales remind me a lot of the revived Doctor Who stories in London.

  • One of the top 5 videos of all time. Simply. Farking. Amazing.

  • nu clear

  • as a 80's teenager, there was very little mainstream music I liked but Ultravox were one of the better bands and this is a top song...

  • Great song from a great band.

    Yep that's what it was like in the early 80s, the threat of global nuclear war....and what has replaced it now????.....the climate change con!

  • I swear to god this song was in a movie in the 80s but i can't figure it out. did I imagine this?

  • yes.. sometimes i do this...i'm doing it now!.. really. and i'm kicking my legs like i'm in splashdance.... but no buckets of water, no.... just tears.. lots of tears so as to look like i'm all wet. yes...

  • best song by kesha

  • this is the best song ever!! i mean it

  • Death 2 those tards who used 2 remix this song =S

  • Comment removed

  • chernobyl.

  • ahhhhhhhhhh the cold war fears of the 80s... i remember when i first saw this video made me so very sad... cut me some slack i was just a hormonally challenged teenager!

  • Most forget, when this was released, Nuclear war was a proper threat!! Still makes me shiver hearing this......

  • @Nelclaud I AGREE

  • What a let down

  • Cette chanson est un méga-tube..Mon frère l'adore..Le clip, je me souviens, faisait vraiment flipper..J'avais de la pitié pour ce pauvre chanteur, surtout à la fin du clip...J'ai découvert un super chanteur et j'aimerais vous en parler..C MO'SEAN, il chante"Give you my soul" et va sortir un album que l'on oubliera pas de sitôt, je crois, car la voix du Monsieur est vraiment I-NOU-BLI-A-BLE...C une pépite en OR MASSIF..personne ne pourra l'oublier, non, personne..Merci YOUTUBE pour ces "Nuggets"

  • @ultrachasersfan thank you... music now a days has no imagination, creativity, or even meaning. just turn on the radio...shit

  • @ACCFVocals

    Good for you, dude.

  • This song is totally different than Ke$ha.. Ultravox is about an explosion wiping out people (?) but Ke$ha's drunk (but addictive) lyrics are about how she's gonna end up like Lindsay Lohan

  • another classic you cant but sing-along to this eh?

  • This one most classic band and song ever writing it interesting though that this song was based on film Theads in 1986 (i think it was) but Ultravox are one my favourite band and im glad they are back together.

  • Comment removed

  • @mrmoneyboygurl well kesha wasnt born yet when ultravox was around so what do you think? idiot

  • ummmm this is dissing like my fav song wtf is wrong wid u guys

  • @Ruteger700

    Shame more people don't think like that. I've got a kid bad-mouthing me for saying that and your comment had been marked as spam?!!!

    Respect to you my friend!

  • Gosh, we were a cheery bunch back in the eighties. It must be the peak decade for songs about nuclear armageddon...

  • Is anyone else wondering why he has his fog lights on ?

  • this is not kesha...

  • Great song and video: reminds me of the fear everyone had of nuclear war in the early and mid 80s and the frightening talk of "what would you do if you heard the 4 minute warning" strangely very nostalgic..

  • Midge Ure has one of the greatest voices in rock - and then some

  • Anyone who wants to hear good music nowadays needs to become a librarian so you can search the vaults for great stuff like this!

    Beyonce, Jay-Z, Britney, Christina, etc.... WTF?!  - Go away and get decent jobs and make way for people with talent.

  • @khaadimone You sir, are an idiot.

  • @Ginakuya

    Wow, 15 years old and absolutely no manners. You, young man, are indeed a sign of the times and a confirmation that listening to the new breed of 'music' damages the grey matter.

    Please understand the right to a difference of opinion and learn correct etiquette for social discourse rather than attempting to insult your elders with rude, immature comments.

    Goodbye and good luck with maturing.

  • @khaadimone

    Hmm.. A typical adult that enjoys in stereotyping teenagers. Why am I not surprised? Maybe I would show you respect if you actually deserved it. Music from the past does not deserve any more credit than today's, nor should it receive any more. Maybe if you learn to appreciate both styles of music instead of implying that old is better and new is corruption, then maybe... just maybe you might realize the talent that is put into these new artist today. Good day, sir.

  • @Ginakuya

    The fact that someone young enough to be my son should be arrogant , presumptuous and rude enough to revile me publicly for merely stating my opinion (which is based on a lot of research along with many years experience of the music industry) is indeed a telling sign of the times for those who know and understand the realities of these days in which we live. I know many teenagers whom I admire for their good manners, amazing work ethics and effort; you are not yet among them. Peace!

  • @Ginakuya what talent these days? Some tone deaf idiot taking drugs has there voice changed electronically and we are supposed to like and respect that? They "sing" to computerised music because they are so talentless most of them can't even read let alone write a song or music. Now admittedly, there is great talent out there in the new bands and singers of today, but few and far between. If you don't like it, turn it off, it's not rocket science,or is it for some?

  • @Ginakuya @Ginakuya dream on. There is much music today that is worthy, but almost none of it is in the top40, which is actually nothing new. That said, this is a pathetically undertrained generation.

    If you think any of the bands that are rehashing the 80s style are anything but shadows, wrong. Muse is sometimes great, often average,

    Arcade Fire are overrated, the Killers are stupid, and I've yet to hear one facsimile punk or metal band that is any good. The best music of today is electronic.

  • @khaadimone Beyonce is a great dancer & singer, JayZ a creative rapper, Britney an awesome dancer, entertainer & piano player, and Christina has an amazing voice & style. No talent? ... bitch please

  • @Itsivobitch

    Search YouTube for: "The Industry Exposed" and learn a few things about these people. I don't "bitch" about anyone, ever! I just happen to have a problem with people selling their souls for profit and fame and then pushing that filth onto unsuspecting youth. If you don't know what I'm talking about then please do your own research.

    Peace!

  • @khaadimone Wait a minute. With all due respect sir, music is completely subjective. Ultravox is an incredible band, and this song is timeless. Just becuse you do not like music by "modern-day" artists does not mean you should insult those who do. To each his own....Beyonce, Jay-Z, Britney, Christina are talented Grammy winning artists

  • @khaadimone I agree that the music of today's top40 is about as bad as it's ever been, but remember, Ultravox was not number one, at least not in the US. THe biggest problem today is rap, Jay-Z, the abomination of R&B by Beyonce, Aguilera and other hacks. Hard Rock and Metal are non-existent. SOAD and Tool are the last of the mohicans. THere are just too many douchebags in this generation who think they are better than they are because there's no older generation producers or DJs around.

  • So many great memorys for me, i was about 10 when this was in the charts and remember being on holiday at the time in blackpool :D frankie says T-shirts, GO-GO T-shirts the smell of burgers the noise of the arcades christ i so wish i could relive this great decade best days of my life :)

  • love midge and ultravox. now this is and was music. love that midge . he's one sexy man.

  • Two years BEFORE Chernobyl. Was Midge Ure onto something, one wonders?

  • @ProsperosCloset - Meaning what?

  • @grobbledonk: an unusual coincidence, nothing more. I sense you might be a serious 'fan' though, so please don't think I was suggesting the pint-sized Scottish warbler was responsible for trashing reactor No 4.

  • @ProsperosCloset - No no, not a serious fan. Was just trawling youtube at work for songs I hadn't heard since adolscence or childhood, for some inexplicable reason. Your comment was lost on me though... maybe I wasn't quite on the ball at the time...

  • only downer was no sky t.v. nooooooooooooooooo.

    other then that the 80's were cool oh hang on on a mo school was awfull back then let me tell you rose tinted glasses wont cover how bad the 80's where i know because i lived it

  • Bring back real music like this

  • LES FELICITO POR TENER ESTE VIDEO GRACIAS

  • Why can' tthe 80's have just remained, everything was so much more simple and playful. I am an 80's baby for sure!!!!

  • lol is kesha influenced by this? Its just the same setting!!! Dance style, electric guitars, synths, echo's on vocals. Thats just so funny!

  • This is how I will die!

  • One of the best songsfrom the band....MORE FANTASTIC ´80´s music at my channel!!!!

  • great

    I had the vynil :P

  • Freaked me put when I first saw this video, I thought the world was gonna end, but that was in the 80's

  • Official Dancing With Tears In My Eyes video by Ultravox.

  • oh oops... i thought this one was by kesha! hahahahaha

  • I've just went to hear what this "Kesha" song is, and it's nowhere near as good as this.

  • wtf

  • I just don't have an appreciation for most older generation music...but that doesn't give me a reason to bash it. I'd just like to say that I like Ke$ha's cover of this song better...

  • @myronmakesitrain

    Its not a cover (thank god) - only the title is the same.

  • oh oops i thought this was kesha i dont know this dude lol

  • wtf is this!!!!!!! this aint kesha's vid

  • @gothgirl8557 you dont know good music then.

  • @PenisAtTheDisc0 i dont give we all hav diff opinions on music u like this i like kesha

    if u gotta prob fust deal with it i dont give a damn

  • My hat goes off to you my friend.

  • @ultrachasersfan  thank you... music now a days has no imagination, creativity, or even meaning. just turn on the radio...shit

  • @ultrachasersfan YEAH Amen to that

  • @ultrachasersfan Cant I like both?!

  • WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • @MyHeart2JoeJonas i feel sorry for you because you have bad taste

  • @gothprincessforever same i thaugh the exact same as u

  • i feel very privilaged to have had the eightees as my era so to speak, young enough to appreciate the 60's and 70's best and old enough to realise that alot of modern music today just isnt of the same quality

  • A very good video and song to go with it! Thanks for posting!

  • I think it was just about Britain's nuclear power situation generally, and how stupidly it might all end. We didn't need a nuclear war, just a relatively small accident, to kill millions of people in a horrific and painful way.

  • this is class :)

  • lol nice but I preffer the avantasia cover.

  • bella canzone ero bambino...

  • shocking video, considering tschernobyl happened like 26 years ago.

  • @sushifornico 24, this was three years before it...and they obviously had no idea how it'd look like for real.

  • Ahh yes, reminds me of Technic lego and star wars... and my old man's cortina

  • @nedster01

    Rubics cubes, A-Team, Magnum, When west ham had a good football team, BMX's, Speak & spell, Sodastream, Angel Delight, etc etc!

    :---)

  • best song title ever.

  • fantastic!

  • I love this song....

  • wtf!i thought this was kesha...

  • @kinoshkiwa lmaoo me too

  • @103Melrose lol

  • the 80's rock, that was proper music x

  • the lyrics are ironic considering the nostalgia I feel for the music from this time. I miss the music from the 80's. The thing that really sticks in my mind from being a teen in that decade was waking up every morning wondering if this would be the day that some one 'pushed the button'.

  • im 17, and I heard this song a lot of times before,

    but when I have seen it with music video it nearly made me cry!

    awsome!

    awsome!

    awsome!

    *** musicians are cool but DIRECTOR is a GENIUS!

  • i love damien rice's mix of this too

  • Going to see you guys this Saturday!

  • ultravox is great! to kalitero

  • memories

  • How on EARTH did I forget just how good these guys were? We need bands like this again, if only to remove the cancer that is Simon Cowell and the X Factor.

  • @pilatso

    I share in your Sad-Bastard-ism!

  • I remember when MTV first played this back in it's Hey Day the Fabulous 80's. I have been a Fan ever since and I am from the USA.

  • Even though history eventually vindicated him on this, I can imagine how a lot of people would have thought Reagan would end the world with his nuclear build up and turning his back on concession base diplomacy with the USSR.

    Not trying to start a political discussion here, just saying that the 80s are an example of how there are two sides to things.

  • @chukmaty only 2 sides?how boring haha i thought we lived in 3d

  • Weird, if you think about how this videoclip became reality two years later in 1986 in Chernobyl. This is such a beautiful song. Love you Ultravox!

  • Weird, if you think about how this videoclip became reality two years later in 1986 in Chernobyl. This is such a beautiful song. Love you Ultravox!

  • the 80,s manta manta

  • dancing with richard gere in my eyes

  • I think we all miss the 80s, well those of us that remember them anyway.

    What a friggin' decade for the music eh?

    God, you should see my playlist....probably a sad bastard but there you go! LOL!!

  • I must be a sad bastard too...lol

    i have an extensive 80's playlist...oh the memories.

    : )

  • @britbomb I'm 16, I wish I was my age in the 80s or 90s

  • @lamareikan666

    It was a great era for music, that's for sure. Which is a good thing because socially, it was a mess both sides of the continent. I think most of us loved the music for many reasons, but for me, it helped me cope with the crap that was going on around me, I was the happiest when I was in my room, listening to Duran Duran, Johnny Hates Jazz, Journey, A-ha, Kim Wilde, and even Samantha Fox! Nothing's changed at all, it still makes me happy! And that's the important thing I think:)

  • @lamareikan666 Same here!! I hate everything about today.

  • @britbomb Totally agree! :)

  • one of the greatest videos ever

    don`t forget the story....

  • dan seen whips teasing my eyes,wigan for dick emery,over lie 'em bye!!

  • @jaycad73 OMFG! Hahahahaha!

  • oooh and an upright record player love it !!!

  • ahhh THE 80's car GOLF GTi 

    Splendid

  • the golf GTI from that time can still kick some more modern carbut! those things where leathal! no abs,no powersteering no nothing!

  • i miss the 80s

  • i was a little boy when i watched this video and i was so frightend of the nuclear reactor thtr 2000 30 kilometers from my hometown away....very spooky video.....coole nummer!!!!!

  • 80s rule. Cindy Lauper, Outfield, Midge Ure, Kim Wilde, Gowan, Harem Scarem...you may continue on and on.

  • @dontlayeggs FALCO, Duran Duran! not to forget:)

  • Nice Amstrad, Midge! ;)

    Kids of today - we grew up in the 80's under the shadow of possible nuclear war and total annihilation. I remember our 'religious education' classes consisted of watching documentaries about nukes and the aftermath.. this vid brings it all back

  • Comment removed

  • i wish more people my age would listen to this music : ( cos todays music is noway as good as untravox and many other 80s music =D

  • Comment removed

  • agree(:

  • Am I your age? I'm 14 =D

    I love music of the 80s! =]

    (I hate metal or hardcore or that sort of crap :p )

  • lol im 2 years older than you lol

    but iv always been brought up with this sort of music, because of my mum. And i have always loved 80s.

    and yea i hate metal and stuff they sound the same to me lol XD

  • yh me too :D

    only it was my dad and not my mum ,

    and do you know the version of 'one' by u2 and the version with Mary J Blige?

    dang, that version is really screwed up cuz of her

  • @smokiexsmartie I'm 15  and i love this music

  • @DesiBGluver :) its so nice to know that so many other people listen to the 80s still :)

  • @smokiexsmartie Its Epic <3

  • @smokiexsmartie Totally agree with you

    I was raised to this music (i was born in '89)...Pop music nowadays is utter poop and most of it wont stand the test of time

  • @apollo112 i agree :) and same... iv also hav been brought up with this music.... it is the best =)

  • @smokiexsmartie , Great song. I remember the films; Threads, The Day After and War Games all focused on the fear of Nuclear War. The Cold War was still very much on people's minds...then the Berlin Wall would fall in the late 80s.

  • @smokiexsmartie looking for a location to spin BEST/ BRIT not S # !T cheers!

  • @smokiexsmartie how old are you?

    I'm 43 and Ultravox is my game :)

    L8er,

    marc

  • @smokiexsmartie how old r u
