Note that Roland Gift and the band don't look at all dated; clothing, hair. What are they hitting him with at :25? Looks like a wine glass over the head if you stop the video.
@Mottahead yeah. the shit. instead of the pure crap. hundreds of these cutsie garage-boy bands with 60's Stones hair, no talent, no songs. would someone please give them a song? Producer.made dance garbage, also no songs. No talent just cut and paste on the computer. They figured out how to control the market with barely music and video. Oh for some Human League, Peter Gabriel, Michael jackson. The Knack. Soundgarden. fun pop, good songs and videos.
Wow, thanks for sharing! great resolution for 360p. Love this song! I remember when it was featured on "Thirtysomething"--I'll never forget it! And the lead singer... he was the recurring bad boy on the TV series "Highlander," and he can act up a storm!
1988, que buenas canciones pop sonaron ese año... Yo rayé con esta canción en ese tiempo... Me compré el cassette "Lo Crudo & Lo Cocido", jeje, edición chilena traducida (aún lo tengo)... Roxette, Edie Brickell, A-Ha, Milli Vanilli, B-52's, Sábado Taquilla, TV Grama y sus posters con las letras de los hits en boga, ufff, que nostalgia...
this song is fucking epic. I LOVE IT SO MUCH IT MAKES MY PEEPEE HURT. might be my alltime favorite of the 80s, and thats saying a lot cause that decade a some fucking gems.
I rarely like synthesizer keyboards used in music, but it's just pulled off perfectly in this song. Seriously one of the best songs every written. It sounds just as fresh today as it did when it came out.

I don't care if this true Ska or not. This is just an amzingly sexy track that I have loved for God knows how many years since it first came out. Roland Gifts vocals are just brilliant. Does it matter if it's 'pop'...lighten up folks...it's still a bloody good track :D
Yes, because no one anywhere knew what Ska was until you discovered it. Educate yourself before you make a comment that shows your incredible ignorance.
Ok...godamn. First of all I didn't say anything about "discovering it". Is this really a big enough deal that you have to assume that I'm showing "incredible ignorance" by calling Fine Young Cannibals a pop band? Calm the fuck down.
Fine Young Cannibals broke up in 1992, although they briefly returned to the studio in 1996 to record a new single, "The Flame", which would complement their greatest hits compilation The Finest released that year. Gift reactivated the band name and toured in the 2000s as Roland Gift and the Fine Young Cannibals.
I've been reading some of these comments, and I feel I must help you to put things into perspective.This song came out in the middle eighties. I was in Highschool. Everything coming out that was new was "cool", so after you finish watching this video you gotta type in "A flock of seagulls". This group was kicking around the same time as fine young cannibals. After you watch "A flock of Seagulls" video, It will all sink in.
So how does he look like a Hoodlum? As I remember a Hooligan can only be referred to as Hoodlum or a ruffian? Just curious, please explain to us You Tubians what you mean!
haha i remember the commercial that comes on everyday i come home form school. This came on after the song "Pump up the volume pump up the volume dance dance dance dance" and then "she drives me crazy ooo ooo" aahhh good times... and I also remeber when i think I was back in kindergarden or 1st grade and it was nap time n this song came on the radio......i never forgot that moment for some reason...thanx web 2.0 for bringing back memories! :)
