Scandal-"Love's Got a Line On You" Version 1

[lovethe80sguy]

so cool to see j.b.j playing with them,at the time he was a studio musican,so he would play with who ever would pay him...pretty cool though.

[gaae2000]

somebody tell me where are the real singers now?...musicians used to just pop up and have a voice!. I know corporate music rules now, but, .... is there any hope?

[ejomo11]

Wow. Check the wiki page on Scandal and I guess Bon Jovi WAS a member of this band in the beginning. That is just crazy. I guess he was destined for far greater than being her back up guitarist. Well, I guess if you consider his brand of cock-rock / hair metal to be a great accomplishment, anyway.. lol..

[puckering1]

Wow ive never seen this version before. Thanks

[deriobamba]

There's a lot to like about this demo of the song but I think the record version is better engineered. Also, did this video cost like $100 to make????

[MaskedMan66]

Once again, YouTube presents us with an "improvement" that only makes things worse. First, we're not able to put our playlists in alphabetical order, now we have to hunt through entire threads just to find our own posts.

[lockwpa]

I saw Scandal at the Icehouse in Pasadena sometime in the early 80's....fell in love with Patty and her music immediately. Haven't changed my mind since.

[MrDrende]

so beauty !!!!

[alabaster30]

Jon Bon Jovi

[elderberry9]

Such a talented singer and performer. Painfully cute too.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

I have a feeling patty would taste very good (if you no wat I mean) DAM shes sexy!!!

[048et]

That's John McEnroe's ex.

[fabio40]

@048et Not ex.  They are still married and together. John McEnroe was previously married to Tatum O'Neil.

[Menyhard1]

What a great singer

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

Jon probably got paid in fish sticks for the shoot.........how times have changed for him, lol. I like them both :)

[coindude69]

"and no one knows...how love grows" Wow, i love this song and her voice!!!

[GEARJAMMER777]

she was and is still hot as nails iwas about 16 and grew with her she was in my wildest dreams every nite u know what i mean

[poopy1239]

wow this is awesome...bon jovi, the bassist for elton john, and some other 60s dudes with smith! thats great!

[susanhall1234]

my goodness she is so hot

[bartphillips]

She was amazing beautiful!! Great voice.. the real thing!!

[dutchmafia11]

Yes, that is Jon Bon Jovi in the video. Patty mentions this in a "Night Talk: Interview with Patty Smyth" video available on YouTube.

[sookiestackhouse2u]

OMG, this takes me back! i love this song!!!!!

[kauaikat]

OMG JON BON JOVI!!!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!!!

[WHEREtheFUNK]

bon jovi worked in the office of the label or something and they asked him to be part of their videos...this was before his band hit big.

[druidkitty]

this is a pretty rare video better than the second version!!!!

[Robman7]

Yep, That's Jon Bon Jovi on guitar! Where did you find this!?!?

[nykkchick]

i love this song!

[kinmanyuen]

coool vid, it's like they recorded it yesterday!

The lighting and people are so natural.

[Madmark4488]

I Was, and Still Am, Soooooo In Love With Patty ♥♥

[528blondie]

back in the day...i thought the 80's sucked...now i'd give anything to go back

[flippyflyer]

@528blondie agreed...lol

[dk7dk7]

I think there is a rule in Rock n Roll that you can NOT wear a shirt the same color as your guitar! Only the Yellow Hat Man from Curious George can pull off that color yellow! LOL!

[OralAgreement69]

bon jovi left because he should be the frontman. i didnt know he played guitar

[wildnites558]

Bon Jovi left Scandal because he couldn't stand someone in the band being more pretty than he. And Patty was not bad looking either. 

[Columbo794]

Is it me, or does Patty Smyth look a lot like actress Jordana Brewster?

[darthgusano3]

dig the yellow combo attack. Shirt + Geetar = YELLOW ATTACK!!!

[timothyh71]

"F" in Bon Jovi. Some people are just charmed.

[tiredfather2008]

this shows more of Bon Jovi!

[coyotesong]

chrissie hynde wannabe????

[HARLEYTMM]

@coyotesong what the fuck..you idiot.. you don't have a clue..she was offered the job of fronting van halen.. before sammy !

[coyotesong]

@HARLEYTMM Doesn't change my thinking. They're called opinions and everyone has 'em. And yours is also exactly that...an opinion.

[RamonLaTorre]

what's the difference betweeen this version 1 versus version 2????

[mbva6884]

BON JOVI?????

[robgiller]

@mbva6884 no shit ... I just fucking said the same thing ...

[porcelaincougar]

@mbva6884 Yes!

As Patty tells in an interview, Jon was in this studio at the time, so there he is, pre-icon!

[GenMata]

@mbva6884 yes he played with them for a this song

[romancitoG]

there was a dark hair guitar player on the "goodbye to you" video that is missing here.

I know the young man eventually died.

i don't even know his name, but would it have killed someone to acknowledge the fact?

[dangerbarron]

I used to love this band...man am i old!

[Josabeech]

Is that David Cameron in the yellow?

[LENTICULARPLASTIC]

WTF is up with her hair in this? She looks like Joanie *AND* Chachie. Not a good look for her, but I still love her anyhow...

[Rockunstank]

she was a living doll!!

[thesiciliannyc]

Oh my high school day's!!!!!!!!!!!

[rcharding]

@thesiciliannyc "days" not "day's"

[drnrg31]

I like the third version of this song with the big sounds.

[dwilmer7]

this is so f-ing cheesy lightweight 80's crap it makes me puke. BLLLLLLEEEHHHH

(i just puked)

kay bye!!

[1971SuperLead]

Patti was a great singer!

[DonLeone]

she's got such a nice and perfect body!

[alantxcty]

sucks ! JOVI THINKS HES EDDIE TAPPING.

[maxideral]

jon bon jovi on the guitar jajajjajaja

[DrRazorblade]

i got the vinyl of this for 50 cents today!

[Billybopper1]

Is that Elton John's bass player Dee Murray on bass?

[alabamapianoman]

@Billybopper1

Yup

[msdemos]

What a sweet, SWEET 'alternate' version...........thank you so much for sharing this "buzzard" !!  What a great TREAT !!!!!!!

And speaking of "treats", was there ever a woman in pop music with darker, sexier, richer BROWN eyes than that of Patty Smyth ?????

I think not........

God Bless you my dear, for coming our way...........Clearly, we mere mortals, are just not worthy !!!! ;)

[cadolfan13]

@msdemos So true.  Kind of like having Mary Ann singing to you.

[msdemos]

I never really thought about it that way, "cadolfan", but you know what????

You're right !!! The dark hair and eyes is VERY reminiscent of Dawn Wells..........

Hmmmmmmmm..............All I need to do now is figure out a way to get stranded on a desert island with either (or BOTH!!!) of these two GREAT women.........

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he ??????

:)

[cadolfan13]

That would be a nice dream msdemos.

[gitfiddle87]

i love her! i dream of playing guitar for her!

[daviddgc]

She's so GORGEOUS...

[ladyluckLove32]

i love her outfit, i would wear it anyday

[STARDORKS]

sounds like goodbye to you

[wisesatyr72]

Look at how hot Patti Smyth is..amazing

[MaskedMan66]

@wisesatyr72 It's Patty Smyth and Patti Smith.

[freddyfrog58]

@MaskedMan66 With a "Y"

[je713]

Frankie Larocca on drums. Scandal never would have happened without him.

[e2museum]

Yes, that's BonJovi. Scandal was mostly studio musicians going in and out at this time, they had been on a tour with John and he offered to fill in for this demo video.

[petie71]

Her hair and outfit is totally back in style. Walk into a shoppe called 'American Apparel'. x

[TheAlejandropc39]

What is Jon Bon Jovi doing playing guitar in this video? I can´t beleive it. Sombody tell me. I´ve seen Jon Bon Jovi old photos and I can realize this guitar player in a purple shirt is him.

[mikeyes11]

Fuck, does someone like yellow??

[jemihami]

Gotta love (the then) John Bongiovi playing guitar on the song!

[jjojjorge]

This version never made it on to the Album, did it?

[vichiousfishes]

I now know what's wrong with 40 year olds. = ]

[RUSH1200]

NED no evidence of disease type in nimesh nagarsheth click search.

[ZuttaJedi]

Joyce Dewitt?! Didn't know she was a part of Scandal Haha! Never saw Patty Smyth with the Joyce Dewitt hair style. She looks so hot...she always has.

[fraxus]

Uhh perhaps you mean J.Dewiit w/ the Patty Smythe hair style.

Mo-ron

[Galileus070]

Of course I love this song and this video version. Perhaps lovely Patty never thought that haircut would be in fashion 25 years later! Hot and sweet. Thanks for posting!

[danny4fingers3]

who is the lead singer of Scandal.. she is a Godess.. wow.. sweet song.. thanx for the posting.. Semper FI.

[Dreamliner3131]

She is Patty Smyth very lickable but married to John McEnroe

[TonyTuthill]

Yeah she was a dream gal for sure back in the day. : leswoon :

[arg888]

Wow, never heard this alternative version until now...

[SymphonicGoddess]

really doesn't look like that voice comes out of that woman!! lol great song!

[Clemmyna]

Excuse Me, Is the lyrics 'But it's clear to me', or 'But it's clear to see'? Im just wunderin cuz i watchd bigebird's and is says But it's clear to see...?

[85vicwagonguy]

I'd steal limited edition Atari 2600 game cartridges for her.

[johngsteel]

This was their home made demo that was sent to the studios. And yes, that is Jon Bon Jovi

[vickyspit]

Cool! And ha ha i think the lead guitarist must have mixed the song LOL.

[Clemmyna]

This is ok. but is that Bon Jovi?

[wildcatter63]

yes...

[TimDean66]

Bon Jovi is a band, but yes, that's Jon.

The story is all on line.

[goldenrod2]

Scandal Sucked! Patty was just 'cute'...not beautiful or even, pretty, just plain ol cute! This song is horrible!

[geiner66]

its probably better than u could do though!

[Clemmyna]

geiner66 is TOTTALLY COMPLETELY CORRECT!!! (I"VE BEEN HOLDING SHIFT THE ENTIRE TIME)

[prokip901]

now, look close & there is JOn bon jovi. The camera dude was smart enough to include him in a large portion of the footage beside patty as they shine brightly as two stars together.This was of course before Jon hit it big so wasn't it sweet of patty to give Jon a break..LOL

[ffej980]

yes thats john bon jovi...but remember by this time bon jovi was a very successful bar band in the nyc area...bon jovi only played with this band for a short time

[beastking55]

wow daddy likey likey

[prettybionic]

whos the drummer in this clip--frank of thommy?

[Franzapooch44]

What the F is this?!

What happend to her adorable face from the "goodbye to you" vid?

She kinda looks like a skull in this one.

[granitefinder]

Nice little jubblies though.

[Franzapooch44]

why did I get two thumbs down for what I said?

She does look like a skull with a mullett in this vid.

She was great in "Goodbye to you." I think she should have put the weight back on and stopped listening to what people said about her body.

[resnoex1]

those days,when  boy meets girl was cool.i missed the 80's.

today you have those arrogants wealth kids on mtv like kim kadarshian,paris hilton and spears!!give a break!!women today learn how to hate man a lot

[constantlyinlove]

I don't remember this song.Was it one of their earlier songs?She looks super cute in that dress!

[Phophorousbronze]

What a fox...and she still is! Those eyes, those lips, that voice, those moves! Sensuality in all she does. Great front woman. Thanks for posting! She paved the way for many female singers after her with her ATTITUDE...Love and Rock and Roll!

[toropablo]

How can you NOT like Patty Smyth with this video and the one of "Goodbye To You"?

[cokedude46]

Patty Smith was so hot back then.

[jenben1227]

thank god he was only a stand in...can any jovi fan imagine life w/o bon jovi????

[TaraBonJovi]

Wow...it's been an age since I've seen this one.

How many guitarists do we need for a group? LOL Jon is adorable though. LOL

[Oddwun]

That's Bon Jovi in the purple.

[fullosht]

I LOVE THIS GIRL

[gwaga56]

Patti is cute ^_^

[moondog202001]

Lady Mullet.

[85vicwagonguy]

I'd steal Social Security checks for her.

[TonyTuthill]

I still get a rush seeing her. : le swoon :

[swagled]

I remember seeing an interview with Patti years ago, where she admitted this video was made on-the-quick and they didn't really know what they were doing... Just had the camera mostly focus on her, while she jumped around. Definately earliest-era MTV stuff

[HiHo44]

Great to find the original Scandal video here on YT, and both versions, whoa! Thanks for posting this...

[twikirobot]

The first album was fantastic.

[dflamedutch]

Patty has Scandal back together, is in the studio recoding an all new cd, and looks and sounds better than ever. you can check out her Scandal blog for dates of gigs. Ive followed her career from the begining and shes really an inspiration for me

[msromo]

I used to LOVE this song, but they never played it on the radio so no one knew what I was talking about. And until watching this now I had no idea Jon Bon Jovi was in the band! Funny.

[GodoftheHanged]

JBJ wasn't in the band, he's just in the video for some reason; I think they were between 2nd guitarists and he filled in.

[mcoren]

You're right...Patty tells about how she just grabbed him to 'pretend' to play guitar so they would have enough bodies for the video. He and his gf either lived in the same place she did, or by the studio where they rehearsed. I don't remember the exact details, but its comical considering where he's ended up since :D

[leadchick]

I've always adored Patty Smyth's voice! She's taught me so much. We're doing this cover now & people love it. I never knew that Bon Jovi or Dee Murray were a part of Scandal, either. I loved Dee's sound and style. Mine is very similar and I'm always smilin' & havin' fun, too! Only I usually play my Les Paul or T-Bird. I'm really sad to learn that he died on my birthday, which I shared with MLK. Life's bizarre......

[chingonote]

hey, bon jovi playin the black strat!

[gitchigoomi]

CAn you believe how young he looks!

[Lanny1966]

Check my video of "Goodbye to You" by Going Postal.

[Kerryhead]

I only date girls who look like Patty Smyth from now on.

[nemesisntdead]

Hey, that will be hard to find.

[Galileus070]

Who would know her look would be fashionable in 2008?

[judges77]

Damn. This video has floored me! I never in my wildest dreams realized that both the late,great Dee Murray and the incomparable Jon Bon Jovi played bass and guitar respectively in the eighties band Scandal! You truly do learn something everyday! And I thought all this time that I already knew everything about the eighties!

[cokedude46]

She was so hot back then.Its a shame we all get old but Patty was so hot back then.

[sanchorb]

Damn right...damn I can´t see if that is a blouse or a miniskirt...she had nice legs.

[grgtys]

i had such a crush on patty growing up

[theSTAR70]

Paul Anka MUST do a cover of this song!!!

[DarkKar]

what a skinny little piece of sex appeal.

[classof77]

Song is meh -- "Goodbye to You" was their one true classic. But even in that dress, she epitomizes the girl you had the hots for in the apartment next door.

A touch of that feral NYC thing going on with her.

Man.

[Rob5962]

She was sooooo cute! She was posh before posh spice.

[davebautista1]

Yes, that is Bon Jovi in the purple. He was breifly in the band as a guitarist in 1981.

[sanchorb]

...and Erik Estrada on the drums, ha, haaa..

[longhairedpig]

@davebautista1 yeah but this video & song was done in 1983

[ciociosan22]

Interesting opening guitar sound. Thought I was hearing the opening of "Chimes of Freedom" by the Byrds, their electric cover of the Dylan song.

[1kydde2]

That's def Jon on the Black Strat.

[r2blank2]

She's the best rock vocalist to me. She should've been in VH. Haven't heard this song forever. Really brings me back to an innocent time.

[Luvinthe70s]

Ha, ha my wife almost flipped when I told her that was Bon Jovi in the band. I didn't even know that initially, until reading all the postings as I was to busy gawking at lil' pretty Patty Smyth. What a vocal range that lady had. My High School Team names were the "Warriors", so I kinda grew up on Patty Smyth Classics! ~Gods Blessings~.

[masakmerah]

I love this song soo much this is my 10th times watching this this week!!!!!!

[redsqwirl]

What!? Jon Bon Jovi was in this video? I was too busy looking at the beautiful Patty Smyth so I didn't notice.

[tgunner91]

Man, you do learn something new every day. Who knew? Yeah, youtube and wikipedia are fountains of useless knowledge... God bless 'em! :D

[kdesano8]

search scandal band @ wikipedia! jon bon jovi really became part of the band in 1981 cant believe it XD i love bon jovi and i also love scandal band XD

[DonLeone]

in this video she looks so much beautifull... unbelievable...!

[GrossbergerXXX]

He looks very dapper sporting a mullet but why is Jon Bon Jovi actually there?

[drippinglass]

This was Bon Jovi's best shit!

[Johnbonjovi14]

YEAH there is JON BON JOVI , 100%

[Johnbonjovi14]

THERE IS JON BON JOVI?>>>

[alexhogan]

I didn't realize that I had loved them for that long! My 4 and 8 year old daughters love "The Warrior" and "Goodbye To You" but they haven't heard this yet. Or "Beat of a Heart". I am ashamed of my ignorance.

[brahma1964]

Nothing to be ashamed of! I am constantly rediscovering songs here that I forgot about years ago. This site is an absolute blast, not to mention a huge time waster! Long live 80's tunes!

[xchemicalxgirlx]

jbj(L)

[masakmerah]

OMG!!! I LOVE THIS !!!! thanks man!!

[Shadapaga]

i think that this music is bad.

[elpajaro21]

Awesome

[83survivor]

Also thanks for the other demo, "Goodbye To You"....another interesting gem.

[83survivor]

Both this version and the 2nd version are such rarities. How did you acquire these two demo versions? VH1 Classic plays the typical 80s "true music video" of this song. Never thought I see a demo version of this. Really interesting look Patty has here. Cool to see a rather unknown Bon Jovi in the video before breaking out in 1984.

[dirt031]

I've seen the original older version on VH1 classics We Love the 80's. I forgot about this song until I caught it on VH1.

[jtheroux999]

I've never heard a demo that topped that official release. I guess all those old white pricks in suits know their shit after all. Yikes!

[rayva1]

Hey! I remember this video. :D But in the other MTV version she's such a bomb.

[rayva1]

By the way, who's her super cute guitarist in the yellow shirt and guitar?

[jagtrz]

Who is the nerdy Bass Player?

[retyn]

That would be Dee Murray from Elton John's band. RIP.

[dbond33]

patty smyth is one of the most underrated talents ever.

[Heyhi57]

Patty rocks the stage. All the songs she sings are awsome!

[popGoesAnthony]

Jon Who?

patti always ROCKS

[hz11287]

Now, it's Patti Who? JON ROCKS! LOVE YOU, JON BON JOVI.

[awasaa]

Screw Jon. It's all about Patty (eye candy).

[hz11287]

I have so much respect for Patti but let's face it the last 23 years have been all about that beautiful man, JON BON JOVI!

[dmleonhard]

Need to see more of Jon less of Patty. Although, I love Patty's voice..I need more eye candy though...

[syleiling]

wow...too much yellow... too little JBJ...

[ggggwwwwdddd]

How do you know he wasn't playing guitar? Were you the producer or owner of the recording company?

[gbear4]

Jon Bon Jovi is NOT playing with them in the video. he is doing a pretty weak job of air guitar in the video.
