Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls (1985)

[pedroandart420]

definitley a song for the night life fuck yeah!

[Hot80s]

Jeremy Clarkson was young back then lol. (skinny too)

[luisperquin]

Segun lo que veo, me parece que aqui comenzo muy fuerte la musica electronica. Los PETS increibles no me canso de escucharlos.

[SirCultureFreak]

Is this on Top of the Pops?

[dapethead247]

these guys are too cool, love the set up.

[grubeci]

a wet rope to pull them all to the big pool

[grubeci]

Why do mason have aprons? guess?

[grubeci]

the original was better but I understand you're drilling for something..something good. .we all are my friend.

[grubeci]

he looks like unenriched uranium with no soul with a truckload of graphite on him

[dethmaul]

Lip synching? The vocals sound precisely like the song in my collection. So does Don't you want me on your other upload.

No biggie. Love these 2 bands.

[Juggafreeze2]

So glad I was born in the 90s.

[SuperTornado2212]

Thanks for posting this video!

It brought me back in time...dancing at the discoteques during the 80s... Good music!

[SuperVampireheart666]

Love this song

[Eugenecharmer]

I used to read Smash Hits in my teens, and Neil Tennant was a music critic / reviewer, and he once referred to an early Madonna single as sounding like a poor man's Tracy Ulmann...what a prediction!!

[MrSKINFLICK]

@Eugenecharmer:

OMFG - Neil was so right. Tracey Ulmann e.g. was a thousand times cooler than Madinna.

The absurd bitchy behaviour of so-called "Madonna-fans" here on YT irritates me now and then.

I guess it´s not something which Madonna can be made responsible for, but this absurd bitching is rare on You Tube.

[mymusic777ify]

cannot believe this is soon 30 y.ago!!! sounds just as great today.long live PSB!

[donaldagoncalves]

80s FOREVER

[katinasvenska]

Nice

[UferM1]

OMG did anyone notice how much he looks like Anthony Bourdain?

[coreyjim]

love the pet shop boys :)

[AndradeWanke]

We danced this song in Brazil, an electronic classic, also live. We love the PSB.

[airp43]

Danceable music? They didn't seem to think so.

[airp43]

Dance-able music? Not to them! Did someone nail them to the ground?

[mwa3476]

Were they playing to a canned track... duh. The keyboards aren't even plugged in.

That's just the way it was back then. Get over it.

The labels weren't taking any chances on stupid performers "ad libing" or exercising their "creative license". It still happens today people. Ever hear the raw live tracks for Brittany Spears?

[Toni7859]

The guy playing the keyboard dont look "80'ish"... looks like he would fit into 2011 pretty easy with the modern hair style, hat and coat. lol. The crowd is totally 80s, lol.

[Toni7859]

ROCK ON 1985 !! :) 

[MrBuckley123]

we had the best years 80s 90s

[simone24335]

Realmente é a melhor banda de todos os tempos.

[ahrimanes]

If I went to an event where a performer was supposed to be performing live and I found out they were lip-syncing I'd be highly pissed, and even though this is an awesome song it's pretty apparent he's lip-syncing.

[17fidelio]

pet shop boys rock!!! 

[DeusexEvolution]

i like all songs of pet shop boys (>*:*)>

[wildnutria]

Nothing like the 80s, man what great times, not like todays crap.

[yeeluvspizza]

@wildnutria

I am a huge fan of music from the 80's but I can't objectively say today's music is crap. It's different yes, just like 80's music is different then say music from the 50's and 60's. I recall older people saying very similar things about 80's music during that time that ur saying about today's music. Try making a compilation CD that has some Lady Gaga, Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, Modern English, Communards....Gaga's music fits in. Music however does rekindle old school memories though.

[wildnutria]

@yeeluvspizza not really, my Mom & Dad like the music from the 80s, I was 17 and they were in there early 40s, yes they liked there rock & roll, Elvis, ect..but they like the music of the day 80s, to. my son is 16 and i can say I dislike 95% of the music he listens to, and the other 5% that he like is, yes, the 80s, he loves alot of the 80s music. oh yeh, there is some music of today that I do like. not much but there is some really good songs.

[xso61673]

@wildnutria Couldn't agree more. Long live the '80s!

[MAA503]

It´s playback, but it´s very good song. Pet Shop Boys are the biggest legend of electro pop and synthpop.

[Annagurl02]

the jacket for some reason reminds me of Antohny Micheal hall

[webbhead92]

I have a list of things to do before I die. One of those was Watch Dusty Springfield and the Boys live. Its such a shame its not gonna happen. Bungee jump has been crossed off my list though.

[mariviism]

Demasiado buena esta cancion !!!!!!!!!!!!! Buenisima diria !!!

[112nizo]

[adeadgirl]

[jibberjabberman]

[COVENTRYSUCKS]

Neil is the one always dressed in a smart suit and Chris always in casual, this makes a change!!, Great song, first song i bought in 1986 (from Bretton Centre in Peterborough UK!!), then Suburbia was my second, only about 14 at the time.

[ballucanb1]

I just can not get enough of this song, I love it, and the cute guy singing it.

[HitchHikersBlues]

Everyone lipsync's on TOTP.

[HitchHikersBlues]

[george6900]

I am from the USA and when I was a kid I thought they were singing about "Western Girls"... I was a pretty dumb kid!

[devilcarmusic]

Appreciate this upload of yours ... but very much would love to see the upload of long not seen Pet Shop Boys West End Girls clip where there is a lady singing in the back...(can hear her singing her as well!) that was my favorite clip in the 80s and danced like that lady then... just reminded me of that clip.

Bravo ... and 5stars ... from Budapest

[randommoosebrains]

[bandarkhalid2008]

[mbyr31]

I live about 15 miles from Lake Geneva!! Thats my favorite part of the song!! Whoda thunk these guys woulda mentioned this place so close to me!!

I think he mentions it around 2:48 !!

[Smoott69]

I was just in my 20s when this tune came out. watchin this video brings back memories. Lip syncing to music was big then and I see by this video pet shop boys were into that as well. 5* for bringing back memories of fake music lol

[tinkishflowers]

[DNAngel2009]

[pitrescue]

OMG! I had that jacket in baby pink! They were called parachute jackets and were popular for a while in the 80's! Yikes!

[Austinsj13]

Nevermind, Brandon Flowers said they were in his interview.

[JoeyBCCSU]

LOL

[Austinsj13]

I mean this with ALL DO RESPECT!!!! Is the singer gay? He's seems like it. I mean, Great song, great band. Dont get me wrong. Im not being a retard by any means? Just curious. Im NOT gay lol. I The singer just seems a little out there. IDK might just be me. Still a GREAT song! Please guys not hate mail. I was just asking. Its a yes or no answer.

[ryanjwebb]

Absolutley...Pet Shop Boys are queer as a three dollar bill...

[DerekTaff]

Neil Tennant (the singer) is indeed gay, Chris Lowe (the other bloke) hasn't said whether he's one way or another. And we all like Tennant's jacket. Very "Top Gun".

[PSBelectronica]

Yes.The singer,Neil Tennant,is gay.He ''came out'' in 1994.

[RamboOriginal]

great song but playback...

[DANIELCICLISTAJF]
