INFORMATION SOCIETY - WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND

[13Naru13]

Hearing Dr. McCoy and Mr. Spock from Star Trek is... wow!

[rjkwerty]

I want his hair.

[sooowatsup100]

ha people who didnt grow up in the 70s and 80s just dont understand that this song used to be considered the ZENITH of white people coolness.

[lafawnparker]

This song is America's Most wanted for the bill boards for real I like this song this is a classic

[topshoptights]

90's music WOULD REPLACE THE CURRENT drag of LISTLESS music that we had today

[LaDominicana2011]

I miss the simplicity of videos from back in the day. Lots of color, corniness, and dancing LOL Now MTV doesn't even play videos. Thank God for Youtube!

[RoC1909]

This was a hell of a great album! Played the hell out of it!

[kimloveslp]

ok the 80's were lame but it was still the best time ever

[superlifer714]

Goddamn I loved the 80's and the 90's comming in right behind. You younger kids definitely missed the party. The new millinium is such a drag in comparison.

[skyflipthecat]

@superlifer714 Yes we did. I am very jealous of the previous generation.

[topshoptights]

@superlifer714 like the wanted, adele, lady gaga,katy perry, lmfao, beieber, rebecca black, rihanna, david guetta, rap trash and so on and one minute OF 80'S IS THE CURE , SIMPLE MINDS, DURAN DURAN

[raquellyn]

I like the look he gives the camera at 0:46-0:48.

[Hellfire5500]

great song of the 80's !!

[utubegirl]

New wave classic. Wait... Were "Information Society" considered "new wave"?

[NesBoy1985]

@utubegirl Electronic, freestyle, synth pop all of the above

[Supersweetguy]

@utubegirl Yes, they were considered New Wave.

[ChromaticDeathVox]

@weirdscience85 yeah. Regeanomics was wonderful. I'm glad in this day in age we can still enjoy that aspect of the eighties.

[MsDennyDee]

... ♥

[CrtlAltDlt]

Fucking greatest hair ever.

[93Bigbrown]

Lead singer looks like Keanu Reeves. HAHA. 

[therealraybaby]

#99(Tie)

[NesBoy1985]

Boom 97.3 FM in Toronto has this song in their regular rotation :)

[JohnnyDeppFan1433]

This song came out the year I was born.... it's only natural that it's my favorite song ;) Wish I would have more in the 80s... best decade ever.

[MrGINA666]

best "hair decade"..



[gerniker]

I loveeee this song! The lead singer is so hot!

[Hikaruchan44]

I'm only 14 and even I love this song.

[peoplelikingpeople]

@Hikaruchan44 not to be a jerk, but is that supposed to be surprising that a 14 year old would be into this? Who do you think listened to this back in 1988? 14 year olds. There's nothing inherently "mature" about older music, the only reason older people tend to favor it is because that's what they grew up with.

[Fartybutt520]

@weirdscience85 sometimes I wonder if life was just better/easier/simpler back then because I was a kid but I think you're exactly right.

[dadelus08]

is it just me, the current stream, or is the sound and video out of sync?

[Kakkarot77]

PURE ENERGY!!!

[thecarebearhideaway]

Ok Now! This song so represents the 80's and what it was all about! All the creativity and the " anything goes" and man, just the happiness we all felt back in those times. When you think back to those days, you didnt hear of depression on TV ads and people just seemed more put together. I am not saying depression didnt exist back then because I am sure it did but NOT like today. There is barely anything to be happy about today! This song back in the day was the ultimate party song! Go 80's! :-D

[peoplelikingpeople]

yeah the 80s did seem cooler and more carefree, but maybe the real answer is that it just seems that way because most of us were younger and didn't have the responsibilities we have now at this stage in our own personal lives. So it's not so much that a particular time period is better, it's that being young in general is better, irregardless of the time frame. A kid today could easily describe Lady Gaga as "anything goes". Somehow I still agree with you though

[thecarebearhideaway]

@peoplelikingpeople That is true. What you are saying here is very true. But I cant help but feel like it is a mixture of both. The fact that we were young and also the time that it was. Things were different then. They just were. But yeah, I am sure the kids of today will someday be saying the same thing that I have said here. Every kid from each generation loves the time that they grew up in. I think that is just natural. But I still think that the 80's is the best! :-D

[skyflipthecat]

@thecarebearhideaway That's not true. I absolutely despise the times I am growing up in and wish I had been born in the '1970's.

[thecarebearhideaway]

@skyflipthecat Well, then I think that is awesome that you feel that way! :-) My daughter feels the same way as you. She sure wishes she had been a 70's baby so she could've experienced the 80's too. And she feels the same way about these times as you do and well, so do I! :-)

[steakdiaper]

@peoplelikingpeople i think the 80s were cooler than now due to the huge variety on the radio. What's on your Mind peaked at #3 in Oct 1988. The rest of the top 10 for that week: Phil Collins (Adult Contemporary), UB40 (Reggae), Def Leppard (Hard Rock), The Beach Boys (60's Rock), Cheap Trick (70s Rock), Bobby Brown (R&B/Hip-Hop), The Escape Club (Pop/Rock), Steve Winwood (Adult Contemporary), and Kylie Minogue (Pop).

Quick check of this week's chart? Pop, pop, hip-hop, pop

[Sintia1929]

muitas lembranças boas.......

[pickydeer]

For some reason I thought this guys were Brits, but they are from Minnesota. Anyone else thought these guys were Brits or at least the lead singer?

[TheSturgeonGeneral]

@pickydeer no

[mirokyu]

Pastels... Pastels everywhere.

[paulozerati]

@weirdscience85 , I have to agree with you, 2000's sucked, not the 80s, and 90s.

Today everything is boring, dont know why, music, movies, people, etc.... Miss the 80s so much.

[Xmokko]

@paulozerati i'm now 35 and when I think of 10 years ago, I still think of the 90's. It's weird to think it is 2000 ( or technically 2002 now)

[synthpoplove]

@Xmokko Ditto.

[Diesloanen]

Man, the 80's sucked.

[jackzero99]

@Diesloanen The 90's was when it all turned to shit with shitty groups like Toe Jam and Nerdvana. Glad that bastard blew his head off

[Diesloanen]

@jackzero99

OlloLOlolo, your just mad because the 80's sucked.

[freight0211]

@jackzero99 you should join him then.....

[lazyfreedom98]

I wanna know-what you're thinking- there are some things you can't hide....I wanna know-what you're feeling- tell me what's on your mind.....PURE ENERGY....que vivan los 80s y los 90s

[MrNickNicolaou]

I did this for air band in my high school in 1989 and fell during the performance LOL! Everyone though it was part of the performance because it was during the guitar solo.The memories of the 80's are the best I have now everything seems to pale with respect to music and the way people enjoy themselves.

[1helbert]

YES, WHAT''S ON MY MIND , COOL MUSIC

[heavyasahorse]

How can such a great song have such a horrible video? I mean I know it was the 80's but come on...

[goodmorningcapt1]

you wanna know what I'm thinking? this sucks.

[araIka4321]

@goodmorningcapt1

Like your mom.

[montuu]

Sampled Star Trek incredible. I love

[martychudej]

LOVED this song...many memories! :)

[CMloveify]

YESSSSS!

[pepegiannini]

que buena onda esta musica nos hacia bailar en los 80's y sigue inspirando a mucha gente como lo veo aca en esta website!!!

[theonlymoo5e]

Hit #1 on the Billboard dance chart for 2 weeks on July 16, 1988

[NesBoy1985]

It's no wonder this album went platinum in the US and Brazil with this song along with walking away and running :)

[djverdugo7]

Bad ass music!

[manuelink64]

ahhh the pre-90s awesomeness!!

great song, great band!!

[fernandal]

amava essa musica

[XxCreeper24xX]

~Ha lead singer does look somewhat like Keanu Reeves...never noticed that...but I really love this band!!

[nobodyitellyou]

wha-I didn't know Keanu Reeves was a part of this band...o_0

[SuperTracy777]

great video great song:D

[Canuckster1169]

illuminati symbolism all up in this video my friends......

[zetareticuli4]

@Canuckster1169 Yes, it all comes from England. I'll be so happy when that whole island is 100 feet below water.

[jacquiagrant]

@zetareticuli4 They're actually from Minneapolis, you dumbass. That shows how culturally aware you actually are.

[FuckedUpWebcamShows]

None of your business

[MoreGrievances]

Great song and funny how this small guy in a suit somehow pulls off seeming like a tough guy.

[Kevinnefsey]

i like the song alot. i was in the army, at MOS training, at ft gordon , and we got released on the weekends, and we'd go and trash hotel rooms. it was prevalent on mtv at the time. itll always remind me of that. its also, just a plain good musical tune..

[wdn9692]

I'm still enjoy listen to their song, it's quite unique & different from others.

[holanda957]

good song

[silvioantonioful]

information society,uma das melhores da electronic music mundial!voltem mais vezes ao BRASIL!

[NesBoy1985]

This song played live is awesome, the crowds in Brazil go crazy for it

[eribalsch]

Alright everyone, admit it, we all thought these guys were British New Wave/Techno. I sure as hell thought Information Society was from across the pond(Britain). They had the European sound down.

[OldFireStick]

@eribalsch You certainly aren't the only one. For 30 years I thought they were British, until I looked the up on Wikipedia. Minnesota. I was sure it was a mistake.

[oddtunes]

ahhh the 80's. fond memories of my youth...

[Kevinnefsey]

im for going back and partying in the eighties

[NesBoy1985]

Let's all go back to 1988 and party with these guys :)

[MYMICHELLE70]

oh my God....I remember seeing these guys in concert!!! I wore a neon yellow trench coat with a black cat suit underneath and black boots, with neon yellow hoop earrings!!! nothing like being 19! my hair was buzzed short too, i thought i was hott!!! shazammmm....

[medazaman]

First ever song I heard from InSoc, blew me away. Then I bought the album, since then, Im hooked on this sound. They have this unique sound about them, I in fact find it somewhat very uplifting. Its music that just gives you a buzz every time you listen to it, and by the way, listen with the volume turned up very, very loud. Thats when you really get to enjoy them at their purest. Love this group, could never tire of them, in fact if your ever feeling low in yourself, put one of their cds on.

[shaunsimmons37]

omg...I don't know if that's Kurt, Paul or James (probably Kurt), but check out 0:53-0:56 & 0:59-1:03: He's Keanu Reaves! or closely related at least... "Whoa! I know Kung-Fu!" And I don't know if anyone's commented on it, but InfoSo sampled from the Peter Pan song "What Made the Red Man Red?" for this song as well (listen for it after "destruction, oh!").

[nina10ification]

24 filha da puta não gosta musica .

[TheSkuLLcomedyShow]

24 people weren't thinking.

[marcos198630]

Esta música também é muito boa! Tocava demais nas rádios e danceterias

[Aznar245]

was looking for this song.. Thank you!!!

[MrAKFrost]

I can't help but feel like I'm 14 again when I hear this song .. Amazing! Great song! I never get tired of hearing this song.

[Niika6666]

soooo... anyone make a time machine yet? cause i wanna go back, please.

it's been almost 24 years and i STILL like this damn song

[ingaros74]

Gosh, he reminds me of Johnny Rotten from Sex Pistols uuuwwww

[rodneydoctorlove]

esse clipe é show mitologico !!!!! amoooooo

[traviesoyyo]

I almost cut my hair like the lead singer back then when this song came out......actually I STILL want to cut my hair like that!

[sandman5171]

@traviesoyyo DO IT!!!!!



[MrBiasJoe]

I was three years old and I remember dancing to this on my aunts car. The 80's went hard!!!!

[alexandreroni]

gente, vendo os clips dessa époc a e os de hoje nos remete a uma viagem no tempo incrível, sem contar a nostalgia...é muito bom isso. A tecnologia mudou, o mundo mudou mas o bicho homem (ser humano) ainda continua filho da puta!!!1

[donnydcyclops]

love this song!

[LegendaryTales16]

Its so odd to see the guy that made the Soul Reaver soundtracks singing in a 80s band, haha good song

[Arrowdance]

Pure Energy!

[wlt777]

Great Song!...I especially love the audio excerpts of "Leonard Nimoy (Commander Spock) & DeForest Kelly (Dr. McCoy)" from Star Trek: The Original Series! :)

[airthief36]

This shit ... I skated to. Back when skaters were called skaterfags. Ppl would throw bottles, trash, etc, at us. We were just skating.

[trvwatson]

blond guy is Hot at 0.57

[Hereismytwocents2011]

Ah, my dance team days.  Good times!

[34airflow]

This song always reminded me of: The Human League's "Don't You Want Me" (the chorus: the lead singing like Phil Oakley; the bakground singer's parts using similar harmonies) and on the verses, the Thomspon Twins with the percussion and keyboards. Has anyone else felt the same way?

[SuperGogetem]

@34airflow Yep.

[BuddhaBot]

you can't deny how colorful the 80s were.

[aleliontrash]

the best mohawk  ever papasito!

[manetarofl]

Bateman- (over loud music) I'm into murder and executions mostly...

Girl - Do you like it?

Bateman - That depends... why?

Girl - Most guys I know who work in merger and acquisitions... really don't like it.

[bwd81977]

@manetarofl LOL! I know right? Great film.

[TheBetoBrasil]

The song of the "Information Society" brings me a sad memory, because I heard when they were at Rock in Rio in Brazil and than the last day I lived with my oldest son who was then 17 years old and who later he died.

[Monkofmagnesia]

@UselessCommenter. thanks. I looked her up. I'm glad she over came her troubles.

[TxFFREAKO]

Lol at 2:30 the, eh, 'bassist' says feeling instead of thinking. Good thing he's not the one singing right? Lol

[wiredhatred]

@TxFFREAKO Video editors fault...definitely made the bassist look ridiculous.

[gfunkwillyfry]

hahahahaha 80's fucked me up

[MrTrancedevotee]

What is the name of Kurt Harland´s haircut?

[Top40Prodigy]

@MrTrancedevotee The name of his haircut is "Gay"

[rkc1]

@Top40Prodigy not even a bit funny

[Top40Prodigy]

@rkc1 Oh but it is, 80's hair, 80's clothes ALL GAY. But the music is saweet.

[bwd81977]

@Top40Prodigy LOL!

[aw3t464747]

[aw3t464747]

0:36 POWER MODE ON !!!!!!

[Monkofmagnesia]

Who is the girl in the video? When I looked up Information Society on Google, I can't find information on who she is.

[UselessCommenter]

@Monkofmagnesia Her name is Amanda Kramer. She was in the band briefly in the 80's.

[TheItalodancers]

*** "Pure Energy" ***

[electrogonorhea]

original skunk look.

[fredlburrows]

I'm kind of British sounding.... and I'm very gay... I'm from the 80s..... gaayyyyyy

[JoeyDaytona]

Spock!

[NesBoy1985]

The best in synth pop

[Megashovelman]

This music really emphasis pure energy. Pure Energy can be water, wind, fire, oil, coal as examples.

[truthseeker010101]

@Megashovelman all life is energy, energy resides in all material forms, and is God. I can explain in greater detail, just ask.

[megag123456789]

QUISIERA SABER QUE PASA EN TU MENTE¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[MsAsianfusion]

I remember dancing to this song back in my day,seems just like yesterday.

[IXSuperRadGamerXI]

that video looked fun as hell to be in man

[valiente16]

Great song and they just had a great time in the video!~

[chuylt]

the name, the symbols, the lyrics. sounds like conspiracy theory stuff. Or facebook

[bwd81977]

The singer looks like Keanu Reeves.

[RChuck43]

Why is there an ad for an artificial hip, in the video box? Does this video make people's hips break cuz they dance too hard to this song...?

[BigBlueBeast]

They play this song all the time on the new radio station in my area.

[slickredrocket]

@KingCrumbdenfroft You remind me of the South Park Episode World of Warcraft. I can easily picture you looking just like Eric Cartman as he progresses further and further into the pretend world. Does your mom bring you food down or does she make you come upstairs to eat? As for the "small minded monstrosity" comment goes, I have been to the other side of the world and seen many different cultures, twice. Have you ever been out of your basement besides for school and gamer conventions?

[aztecterrorism]

I like the EYE< the PLANE, the BUILDING, and their name "information society"

[spacepenny]

you know you see the way a singer acts in a video and they may have looked cool then but you realized how idiotic they seem now. i remembered thinking how stupid that guy looked even then when this vid came out

[BrenEden1]

@spacepenny Have a sense of humor, it was the 80s, The music video age was just breaking loose.

[BrenEden1]

@spacepenny Have a sense of humor, it was the 80s, The music video age was just breaking loose.

[BrenEden1]

I love this song, it makes me want to dance. I really love the Spock / Leonard Nimoy saying pure energy from the Startrek episode LOL!

[priscila1531]

adoro essa musikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
