[rogercamp]

This song means so much to all the guys who lived their teenage years in the 80s early 90s... We all wish that we could turn back the clock, life was so much better...

[samboy1288]

What a wonderful song!

[78volka]

how i wish "i can turn back the clock....

[Mr385north]

great song , brings back alot of memories of when i was a young lad...was n military and meet my x-wife....those were the days.....

[76crimson]

good ol high school days when we would chase girls at girls school after class,,,:D

[indianfkdbyindians]

these certainly were the days guys life is so so hard and complicated where did we all go wrong

[patrickborro2000]

Available time machine, back to my youth once again, yey.

[jorgejema]

@patrickborro2000 cuando la encuentres me invitas a viajar a esa hermosa época inmemorables recuerdos cuando estaba en la secundaria recordar a todos mis amigos

[rizagarciaful]

yes...this song really makes me reminisce all the good times i had when i was such a young age....my teenage years....really.....IF ONLY I COULD TURN BACK THE CLOCK....maybe i would change the time i met this someone who'll only hurt me in the end....

[ajdobmeister7]

oh how it would be great to turn back the clock when we where not in europe. stop these scroungers coming in and commiting crime, begging and free nhs and free tax housing etc. what a disgrace the goverments have done to this once fine country. human rights "MY ARSE"

[leandro11373]

is not natural to be old

[dannymcmince]

@ItsGrimUpNorth7 yes they were the days! cheap cider and beer, good timees!

[happyhead64]

@MelodyMan25 not a day goes by that I dont think that exact thought. Life was SO much easier then. And much cooler. :)))

[paidda]

@ItsGrimUpNorth7  yeah? then this spelled my 1st year as a daddy to my unica hija. man, time really flew by.... fast.

[11CaptKirk11]

Another fantastic song!! Love it more each time I hear it!!

[90nay]

love dis song! but it made me cryied though :(

[MrChicago891]

A decadently sentimental gem, this song really does make you want to turn the clock back. Without sounding overzealous or phony, the lead singer really does believe what he's singing. Or is that just my own longing to go back in time......Since we can't go back, it's great to close your eyes to this song and remember the greatness. All the instrumentation here is totally retro which is funny because they had no idea at the time that this song would someday be used to look back on old "present"

[bobingi]

@MrChicago891 MrC.....you nailed it! It does evoke the best memories of those days. And it never grows old. Anybody with an ounce of rhythm cannot help but roll with it. A great "lets roll" melody.

[ZachClooney]

Anyone got the video for this?

[4afriend7]

 turnback to 80´s !!! I miss 80´s !!! sniff!!!

[142yayo]

QUE GRAN TEMA Y GRUPO ES EL TIEMPO EN QUE VIVIMOS EN LOS TIEMPOS BUENOS

[142yayo]

QUE GRAN TEMA



[iwona31]

coż chciałabym choć na chwilę zatrzymać czas albo cofnąć go i mieć znowu 20 lat :)

[iwona31]

@adrianmandi

kochana jesteś taka młodziutka!

[smithywick]

absolute classic song from an awesome era for music... most people wish they cld turn back the clock just a few months i bet & get this idiot david cameron out! wat a mistake! apparently he went for a circumcision operation recently! the surgeon said i cant possibly operate! theres no end to this pr**ck!!

[armskoteic]

song really transports you to happier days aint it?

[culibeterweter]

@armskoteic At warp speed!!! Absolutely...damn i really miss those careless days back in the 80's...

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

This was "Johnny Hates Jazz"'s second (& final) singles release in America, which did moderately well here. This was the follow-up to their #1 Billboard chart hit "Shattered Dreams".

"Turn Back The Clock" peaked in August 1988.

[cottonballs88]

beautiful days of long time past..... nothing beats that..... sweet memories.......

[mrnont]

Song to remember

[7448ron]

listening to this song make me feel great about the past. All the good time in school with friends.Thank god i m still alive and enjoy this good song today .

[shannymullane]

id go back and tell elvis dont forget to flush

[NdranghetaLife]

I really don't understand why people always get sentimental when they think of the past.

Me I'm glad when memories don't come up!

U have to live now, thats all what counts or u will never be successful.

[chicasexy064]

what a beutiful song is how i feeling in my life now

[RamirArcega24]

this song is probably older than me and somehow I prefer it over justin beiber...it's just sad that most kids slightly younger than myself have no taste in music nowadays.....

[icytadbull]

too bad einstein died before he invented the time machine

[TheSteviemoore]

2 peoples clocks stopped, listen to the words & drift back to the good times,

[RedCloudBlue]

Ahhhh the Good Old Days!

[THESUPERGIRLIE]

[myhing88]

Great song... evergreen!!

If only what he sang is true...

[Toni7859]

I wish I could turn back the clock... but know then what I know now.

[alex1966ro]

Damn! Thank you very much! I love ''80's! I was born in 1966...

[pluto4847]

@alex1966ro

I was missing quite a bit. Time had really passed me by. I fell very ill in Great Britain and I slipped into unconsciousness. When I returned to America, everything changed. This was 9 years ago. I have not changed one bit as if time has stood still for me. I love this song though.

[alex1966ro]

@pluto4847

Well, I also love very much "Shattered dreams"...In Romania I didn't find CD with "Johnny Hates Jazz". I hope the future will be more kind with me. Great Britain is o wonderfull country, I hope to visit her... God bless the "80 music!

[redlittleteapot]

Always loved this song. Makes me remember some sad times, but oddly, they're still fond memories...

[tgdonlin]

1987 - to be 25 again. :-) My life is wonderful now. I'd love to have had what I have now at 25.

[juan800881]

[StickyKeysRandom97]

I love this...

[knotheads666]

...shattered dreams,,

[briklay]

reminds me of the year my beautiful daughter was born classic memories

[Ali28051970]

Beautiful song, reminds us I guess of people we lost, if you love someone you probably always will. they just might not return the favor

[loidgalban]

just because...thats why...

[carolinagonsalves1]

when did this come out in the 80s?

[littlejoeissexy]

@carolinagonsalves1  this came out 1987..

[MaquinaDelDiablo]

Maravilloso!!!

[dickfish101]

This songs reminds me my chilhood days..my dad always play this song in his car and and sometimes he played it on a radio cassete. ahhhhhh...good old days..

[roxanalopezv30]

excelente tema de johnny hates jazz!!!!

[heizgoth]

Peter Pan Syndrome... i dont wanna grow old!

everytime things get shitty, i listen to this song. i wanna regress and go back to the period in my life when everything was easy and everyone loved me.Family, friends, teachers, schoolmates.

[EasilyWowed]

I haven't seen this video, ever.

NIce to see it more than 20+ years later.

[aznlonelyheart]

wish i could stay a baby, just eat, drink, sleep, and s*** in my diaper, oh yeah, good times

[Gaudamn]

So true, why do we have to grow old?

[rockstarRT]

heheh i can't imagine life without getting old at all..

[thedevilmaycry660]

@Gaudamn ye man y do we have to

[Stuart0000X]

@Gaudamn To make life all that more precious.

[avalyn5]

As an indie type guy from the 80's & 90's, these guys and Climie Fisher have always been a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Fantastic stuff.

I always think they slightly missed their window by a few years. If their hits would have been in '82 I think they could've been as big as Duran Duran.

[MizansChannel93]

i'm in high school about to go to college , final exam is around the corner , i wish i could go back to my childhood , where it was all fun and games , no worries about the world .... i would actually cry every time i hear this song....

[Byootox]

But that's the big problem isnt it..

You don't know how good your childhood is until adulthood and resposibilities kick in later on.

I remmber an old bloke telling me "Youth is wasted on the young"

Soor plooms.... maybe but you get the point eh !

[rockstarRT]

just reminisce the good old days.. weew

[zopilote72]

I love this song...

[seahum]

That's when I know my first love in my life, while listening to this song. I can never forget....

[FURY1958]

In my case it remains me the good old days of my teen age.

[ShankhanildaFCKr]

really.......80's rock!!!!!!!!!

[marykayindia]

going down the memory lane.. amazing

[worldwings]

Wow! I remember this song so well when I was a Pan Am flight attendant based in London in my 20's. Flying all over the world with my roomates and having so much fun! Beautiful melody, beautiful heart-felt words of an era that was indeed fantastic! To be able to go back even just for a little while...........

[hardlines4]

A time when we had REAL music!!!

[ninamean]

Hilfe, ich bin alt wenn ich mir die Statistik hier so ansehe... Aber ein wunderschönes Lied! Da war noch alles ok zu der Zeit....

[GilbertsV1]

I LOVE THIS SONG A LOT !!!! 80s, damn, look like it was yesterday, i miss that awesome decade !!

[karziflora]

OMG OMG OMG........i really wish i could turn back the CLOCK!!!

[simon1000]

reminds me of when i broke my ankle climbing up a drainpipe at uni, locked out

[indankse]

how i wish guys..

[SpeedyHarmonie]

This song reminds me always of where I have gone the first time to Cologne and have gone back in the morning at 06.00 o'clock. At that time this had been a really nice day. I had this song on my music player in run when just the sun rose. This is so marvellous if one sits absolutely tiredly in the train and then this marvellous picture of the sunrise with the song in addition.

[michaelgordonscott]

it does't matter if we are geting old, just close your eyes and listen to the song.i know everyone of us would like to turn back the clock.enjoy while we can.cheers

[thadjam168]

@michaelgordonscott definitely agree with you...

[Zinczion]

I feel so old right now. i can still remember when this song was new and i think i was 8.....Time fly so fast :(

[omarqure]

Wow so good to hear this again. This was my favorite song growing up in the 80´s its really one of the few 80´s songs that have stood the test of time. Thank u for upploading it.

[jparsol123]

[rockstarRT]

[laggie24]

"I wish that I could turn back the clock"

Who wouldn't...hmmm ...I am sure many of us would do that if possible to go back just for a day to 1 of our greatest times :)

[hkihkihkihki]

[80musiclover]

Another great song from a great period in time beautiful song.

[mickyscymon]

Nice song..very relaxing

[Seanogoals]

Another 80s classic by a really differnt group.

Johnny Hates Jazz were such an under-rated band.

[beautyinme]

Turn back the clock, bring the wheels to stop, back to the days when life was so much better. How I wish I could. Waaaaaa, I miss my childhood.

[BlowYourFunk]

[vivandav67]

there's just something about pop from the late 80's to around 91 that's just FANTASTIC...tunes like this don't exist anymore.. Breathe, JHJ, Icehouse, Climie Fisher, etc. That was a really great time in my life, too..sigh.

[CADAblaZe]

[leonsammi]

I wonder if there is any Karaoke file of this song i can find on the net.

[rockstarRT]

unfortunately i found none, i really wonder though, where we can find such karaoke version of this song.

[yolindayanfan]

I am fm Hong Kong and remember it is a big hit here some 20years ago. I can't believe it only reached #12 on the uk chart!

If release today, it has a good chance to be no 1!

[rockstarRT]

it depends, our youth today embraced the so called EMO_Genre!
