Still in love with this woman!

[doh1959]

[122457]

It's been more than 30 years since I last heard this song. Thanks for the blast from the past

[johnnymoondog]

2 + 1 = 3 !

[kate4ever1]

GAGA eat your heart out. 

[MaceMn]

Gotta lovich!

[thenutbar44]

I agree, lene is great!

[mctal474]

graccias por subirla recordar es vivir

[eenandereplaneet]

She could turn a gay man straight...

[specsavers44]

[globbo100]

Leave Cyndi Lauper alone. She, along with Lene Lovich were, and still are, great. We need more interesting and eclectic female performers like these.

[LTF6161]

@globbo100

I agree, that's not fair. To be inspired by someone is not to be "a cheap imitation." That Lauper could take this "New Wave" sound mainstream is a testament to her talent.

[deenibeeni]

Cindy Lauper was a cheap imitation.

[BadEggCymru]

she was the original voice for R2-D2

[tonskiwood]

@TheDiddlysquat - I think generally music was of a higher quality in the late 70's and 80's.

[Ammers0211]

Makes me feel young again!

[sitjar]

I used to hate this when it came out...it wasn't cool enough but I love it now.

[brotherloui1999]

Beauty, sexy, is a godess!!!Beauty 70" & 80"s!

[meyery2k]

The way the guitarist moves back and forth with his guitar reminds me of those Fisher-Price toys with the little people. Not knocking Les Chappell, but just saying...

[ShitJitsu]

i about shat myself at the uh oo oo ooh bit

[1starryeyedkid]

LADY GAGA EAT YA HEART OUT!

[puacino2]

Awesome Lene!

[zepromz]

I love the 2-tone Ska feel the electric organ brings to this (rare) version especially around 1'32 where the descending run is straight out of "On My Radio" by The Selecter :) . Totally different version to the one on Lene's "Stateless" album, and the 7" that charted at the time. I almost prefer this one you know, much more raw and gritty!

[thegothicdolly333]

Oh my god!!!! I might be related to her!!!!! My surnames THE SAME!!! And my dads from yugoslavia too!!!! NO WAY!!!!!! :3 :3 :3

[kestrelpat]

Just gone right back to my teenage years...brill...thanks!

[we4578]

my lucky number go na be changed

[neckizred]

Oh my god I was so hot for her in the 80's, sexiest woman from the days when KROQ was still cool. Thanks for posting...best version on youtube!

[zzbear]

Be Stiff, Be Lene!

[pogleswood2]

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO, BRILLIANT SONG BY A BRILLIANT LADY.

[suzayyy64]

I dont know how they can sing while people arent taking any notice of them. I'd have to stop and say OI... I'm singing here!!! you ignorant get!

[gnomely1]

She's talented and blessed by the fact that she's one of those who will look beautiful in any era. It's difficult to believe that thirty years have passed since she performed this, but. it still works.

[Virginia78704]

Lena is great. Saw here here in Austin, TX in the 80's. I waited outside for her to leave, so I could get her autograph. I still have it.

[asd36f]

Lene Lovich and the Housemartins - the 2 best things to come out of Hull!

[Random10538]

@asd36f and the beautiful south

[RHutton2710]

@asd36f: and William Wilberforce. 

[mateyla321]

a blast from past

[katefan101]

its like bjork meets tori only weirder

[snowball1988]

@katefan101 i love bjork and tori, but i would say this is more kate bush meets gwen stefani

[videodudes321]

Great song , has the keyboard player got a itchy ass l.o.l

[DrMelmo]

Original. Innovative thinker.

[matnichol]

What an impact she had on this 8 year old.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

I love it, she's fab

[DanielQuintanilla]

Such a good way to spend gods resources

[kevintheshedend1976]

She's fit. Years ahead of her time too

[tracegnet]

really funky I like Nina Hagen a bit better even though I don't understand the lingo her expressions and depth of voice and theatrics are totally amazing still cool!

[celticraider1]

She mesmerized me as an 10 year old kid...........

[TheActionRolling]

Lene is a true original. Talented and beautiful. This is such a great song.

[suzayyy64]

How ignorant are the audience?!?

If I was her I'd have to stop and say Oi... am singing for you lot here, you ignorant gets!

[mensamoo]

Yugoslav I believe... a good turn in Serbia WMC

[Forestamtul]

funny isnt it? A rag doll but not in a nasty wasy a rag doll like a doll made of cloth so no one take offence Ok.

[billybadbrakes]

I'm under-whelmed by the drummers minimalistic style, thank god for the guy on keyboards giving it the funky hip swerves to save the day! ..forgot how catchy this song was and just how WEIRD Lene was!!!

[regiesuntan]

at 0.46 the keyboard player must have something in his pants

[coolsweetgroovy]

wow this is cool

[rob58166]

gorgeous lene lovely lips

[vikmegha]

she was a fruit cake!!

[r1wantone]

@vikmegha Who cares?

[vikmegha]

I mean in a good way of course. Who likes normality??Comes on guys, lighten up!!

[palehorsepalerider]

love the chant: "number twooooooo"!

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

Very interesting Lene Lovich is. Her music is unique.

[hartyfarty69]

I'd like to give her my lucky number 9 n a half ha ha ha ha!

[rob58166]

10 cents is pushing it sir...one cents plenty for that idol rubbish

[one1one63]

Aaron compared to many of the people today who call themselves artists, I'd pay $100 to watch Lene before I'd pay 10 cents to watch any of the posers on American Idol!

[macintosser]

@one1one63

I agree so much with that statement... My kingdom for a frontrowseat at a Lene Lovich concert...

[rob58166]

she was gorgeous in this uideo

[cisco9x]

She was really beautiful

[one1one63]

This song was and still is brilliant!!! It came out when there was nothing but garbage being put out and Lene was brave enough to try something not only new but refreshing.

[rob58166]

shes alive and well...what a stunner she was and a great entertainer unlike the shit we get today

[KingAaron19]

If you think shes an entertainer you need to get out more.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

What medical officer let this one out?

[KingAaron19]

lmfao I can't stop laughing at your comment.

[KevL75]

It wasn't his fault.

Your sister knocked him out with a chair leg.

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

???

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Fucking joke!

[nwlman]

Is this character dead she was old here

[aladaube]

Completely up to date. This lady's such a talent. Too bad she was stiffed by Stiff Records. They must not have understood what they had.

[replicas79]

1979???

looks like 2009---

[HammieDarko]

Her music sounds like it's melting. I enjoy that.

[zuton100]

band is very tight

[hardwickstockton]

brings back gud memorys of the days when music was music 70s and very earley 80s

hardwick stockton

[Reluctant99]

Jaysus: Imogen Heap's mum! :-D

[Anibaal]

quien robo a quien? Nina hagen a Lene Lovich o Lene Lovich a Nina Hagen, este tema es idéntico, aunque con algunas modificaciones, al tema de Hagen wir immer noch o algo así. Para mí hagen le afanó

[viridianaprz]

sounds like the voice from the girl in dandi wind i wish they would edit this type of music to electro-crunk it is great anyways

[darkixion89]

Nobody sounds liek Dandi Wind. Lene Lovich isnt a inspiration for dandi wind. Oh maybe yes, becouse they like Nina Hagen.

[Lindaxnyc]

She is BEAUTIFUL!!!

[rprocyon]

I love Nina Hagen's cover of this track 'Wir leben immer noch(Lucky Number)' or We're still alive in english, off her second Nina Hagen Band album 'Unbehagen' or pain in the arse as she called having to complete that album.

[christoJihad2]

What a great song, and I agree that the cool, spontaneous feel

Is so sadly lacking today and at least for the past fifteen years. Hopefully, everything goes around, fades, and comes back again. I hope we haven't been sabotaged by rap. I'm surprised nobody's sampled and ripped off some of Lene's music.

[Supermercado]

The sort of perfect insanity that is lacking from the charts these days.

[Judex]

Oops, my mistake. "Born in Detroit..."

[philoza51]

she's a female bryan ferry!

[Judex]

Noticed the BBC failed to mention her Detroit years but didn't fail to mention...Hull.

[goahead100]

when i first see her she give me the hone

now I am older was that the hone on my bike? I wonder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rudepooch]

what's a "hone"?

[terryjohn]

yeh cheers i have my knowlege thanks to my sister sharon who does pop quizies on radio.

tj

[terryjohn]

mostly 67to 72...BRIT FILMS.dracula

tj

[terryjohn]

Hammer horror films .she had high pitched  voice id say nealy all...

tj

[terryjohn]

also was in chuck berrys record my ding a ling she was one who talked in crowed.

tj

[unionjakjakson]

Totally unique...and for that, she gets a five star off me.Fond fond memories, i had hair and was less than 22 stone lol.

[merthyrliam2]

tidy this is realy good

[lydiamandygrace]

its amazing though !!!!!!!!

[Khultan]

I swear, I want to make a baby with her.

[zuton100]

The band are very tight and pro soundings .

[terryjohn]

she was a hammer horror screamer

true

tj

[MTCatman]

Love Lene!

[kevinherbert]

I love it..thanx ..great post

[Homoholic]

This version is painfully dated, just like some other songs from the 'Stateless' album. The single version still sounds as good as it did 30 years ago.

Lene's best album, in my opinion,

is 'No-Man's Land' featuring very underrated 'It's You, Only You'.

[TheGodParticle]

love this and i think shes very sexy in a post punk kind of way...

[deckelpc]

Still got this and a few others including 12 inch singles signed by lene when she appeared in virgin in princess street Edinburgh years and years and years ago! ;)

[AlexisCapri]

The musical equivalent of nails down a blackboard, that is truly hideous.

[tightass22]

i know! she is really annoying and UGLY!!!

[daretoronto]

She was a definitely a leader in her time for the new wave scene.

[linearskater]

I've always loved this record,I just think that this "look" of Lene's may of been a inspiration or influence for Trisha Biggar's dress designs for Amidala..

[linearskater]

I never knew Queen Amidala had a singing career..

[retroguy1976]

rofl funny shit

[SurlyInsomniac]

She is so beautiful in this clip.

I recommend "Lucky Number: The Best of Lene Lovich", too, but there is at least one glaring omission; "Blue Hotel"is not on the CD.

[stardustinthezodiac]

Lene, Debbie Harry & kate bush-they all came out about the same time..Bloody amazing!

[orkneyfellow]

suddenly, again, lots of new things were possible

[genericgeorge]

Lene Lovich - The Mother of Goth.

[dinoblackgrape]

can anyone tell me if shes any albums and how many,which is best to buy,cheers,anyone ?dino

[misterpoe24]

Lene released only a handful of albums, the best of which is probably her 1979 debut, "Stateless", which includes this track. Aside from that record, the best introductory CD would likely be a "hits" package. I'd recommend "Lucky Number: The Best of Lene Lovich", released in 2004.

[dinoblackgrape]

thanks a lot,cheers

[dinoblackgrape]

wot more can one say,absolutely brill

[sim3674]

Just brilliant (both song and Lene)!

64mung does have a point about princess Leia !

[DasReich64]

she was soo hot an sassy so hype during her time twas a shame their band/she hadnt put out more... thanks for uploading!: )

[holleymccoy]

The BBC can't even get their facts right... her FATHER was from Yugoslavia (Bosnia) and her mother was from Hull!

[kives1985]

I like the subtitles.

Lene Lovich has an exotic back ground. She was born in Detroit.

[64mung]

Love this tune!! I never knew it was sung by Princess leia.

[soundmanhaven]

you are some where else

[64mung]

Yes...And I'm still there.

Still love this tune though.

[Judex]

#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1#1. would continue but carpal tunnel strikes me. no one like THE GAL.

[52barney]

If #2 had answered #6's question the whole world would have known that Lene was #1.
