I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down

[Hot80s]

GOT BASS?

[MrMarv1985]

I agree--the louder you play it, the better it sounds.

Having just heard it foir the first time in ages on Casey Kasem's 'American Top 40', I really miss hearing this thudnerous tune on the radio.

Saw him at Pier 84 and Jones Beach Theater in NY in the 80's- and met him at Tower Records. He is SO underrated! Wish he would come to the states and do a little old school tour. I know LOTS of people who would be into it!

[BlueDevilBlues]

Paul is one of the most underrated singers in the world. Love him so much!

[Hot80s]

strippers LOVED this song in the 80s.

[charliethemaddawg]

That looks like Limahl (from Kajagoogoo) on keyboards

[lurch321]

Always actually liked this one more than Everytime You Go Away. Wasn't nearly as big a hit, though.................go figure.

I bought a new car a few years ago. A bright red Pontiac Grand Prix with chrome wheels and a badass sound system.The first song I played when I drove off the lot was Playhouse. Loud, bad and cool. The back windows shook. My ex liked George Michael. Not anymore. Now if it doesn't rock like this track it ain't on. Paul Young was a great talent in the dismal 80's, Pino's basswork on this is mesmerizing. Bravo. Oh yeah, I DID TEAR HER PLAYHOUSE DOWN!

[Sikandra00]

I like Paul's "puffy shirt." :-)

[78sadie]

Funky Bass!!!! ps More cowbell!!!

[78sadie]

Funky Bass!!!!

[nikandnana]

I hate covers but those by Paul Young really is another matter.

[lakechaney]

What I really enjoyed about this song is that paul young new what was expected as musicians a head.

[racourdav]

This was one of my favorites by him....pretty amazing remake and I normally HATE remakes...

[Glitterbladejester]

I love Paul Young! I'll be listening to "the secret of association" till the day I die!

[lynncook64]

This song Rocks!! I still totally love it....Paul Young is still hot hot hot!!

[Obelisk2290]

pino's fretless playing is so lyrical and snaking

[chiledoug]

my son plays the base qwe were curious who he was..

[Obelisk2290]

@chiledoug he has played with the who and john meyer

[1ceylon]

warne is a cheat and chucker

[Hendo56]

Geez, I remember when I first saw this on Friday Night Videos.

[3811iberis]

This is one of my favorite R&B/pop songs of the 80's, the groove and bassline is laced with funk, along with the soulful vocals, grade A 80's music, no question!!

[karlulin]

I love this video. It reminds me why I love Paul Young.

[scooterNJ]

Great re-make. I thought this song was weird when it just came out, but it grew on me. Today, it amazes me how the Bass is such a main part of the song.

[chiledoug]

yah my son plays the bass loved the bass line..

[rollthrough]

It's funny how the bass is the most impressive element of the song, and yet we don't see much of Pino in the clip. He looks a bit gooberish, but plays like a god.

[paulyoungchannel]

This was the song that made me a Paul Young fan. I remember on the back of the record cover it said 'This record must be played LOUD' - so I did!

[21sttnmemphis]

I hadn't seen this video since it stopped. I remember the keyboard and that bassline. He had soul. The guys in the suits are hilarious. Great song

[pnbibbins]

I remember how Pino's rapid fire bass lines near the end of this song really grabbed my ears the first time I heard this song......still has the same devastating affect all these years later!

One of my fav's from the 80's.

[orangejuicedisco]

He's a great performer !

[sampaguitaayako]

check out your hairdo then Paul!

[welcome2mytruth]

The original was sung by Anne Peebles. Paul covered it in 1984 and was the first single from his second album

[ca1000r]

Unbelievable! I never knew who sang this. One of my favorites, period.

[tc1261]

Thanks so much for posting this, my favorite version of my favorite Paul Young song!!!!!!

[AngeLsLuv]

I miss the 80's.. It's still my favorite decade for music... Paul Young was always on the top of my list, and one of the sexiest men back then ;-)

[BlueZaphiro]

Awesome Paul Young!!!! ♪♪♫♪♪

[Obelisk2290]

one of the best basslines go pino

[spyderj1999]

[sexstring]
