I Melt with You - Modern English (1982)

[burnpillageplunder]

Vive' le 80's !!!!

[QueenOfTheNight2313]

fuck valentines day

[WeemeLover]

trippy....

[koolikat73]

there was another version of this song?

[sillynipplebag]

I miss my mullet!

[lolshitz]

I really like this version a bit better

[AsmodelSoljah]

Kinda dark: "I stopped the world to save this human's race, comprehending a race that's long gone bye"

Comparing the world to "mesh and lace" ie illusion?

[kratosmurphy]

@AsmodelSoljah I think the mesh and lace comparison is the illusion we all have about real life. That comparison seems to best fit what we consider "beautiful" today but it also fits every other aspect of life that many humans have tarnished.

[guaitolinigabriel]

Nuvem em formas dizem All My Breath.

[paganelf]

Happy New Year Melting World!!!

[1rhisiart1]

Disclaimer: No worlds were melted in the making of this video.

[KrazyKommieKiller]

I miss the old commercials now. At least they played a decent version...

[Galileus070]

Finally, this is the original 1982 version. The good one.

Thanks for posting it.

[Kingofmean]

i wanna go back to the 80s and stay tthere.

[OldiesChick17]

63 people had already melted previous to watching this video.

[xenosagamomo3]

I want this to be played, at my wedding.

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

I have no idea what you all are talking about. I heard it on the radio this morning.

Needless to say, I loved it.

[quasimoto270]

thanks for murdering the song beyond recognition taco bell and hershey

[andremchenry]

@quasimoto270 blame the artist for selling out

[quasimoto270]

@andremchenry i should blame them for handing over their songs for a cheap and tasteless commercial. nowadays the artists desparately need the money

[resupine]

dude im tripin balls!!!

[MaseFace7777777]

Why the hell is there an apple.... Dumb!! Should be a Droid!

[twest2015]

i remembered this song due to skateland <3

[dontbringmedown1900]

per commercializing purity ...i was never so disappointed as hearing Funk#49 coming out of the tv only to find it was a beer commercial

[AEMoreira81]

Sure people will complain about this song being used in ads---but that's how people get introduced to older songs.

[Sillypad]

@globalchaos1984 So true, but what other good music is there? :/

[iloveusher62]

omgg, i've been so friggin addicted to this song lately(:

[eastcoastmetaphorman]

Forget the dumb Ads, Forget the analysis, Find your lover,put on the tune,and "melt" with them,moving forward, "using all your breath",till ya don't care if the world stops. Then afterward watch this again.Get It?

[TiianSama]

Craig Ferguson featuring the Mythbusters, anyone? :D

[TheCandice40]

nice quality sound! nice swirlies aye! cheers!

[giantlabs]

I swear, I thought most of these 80s classics were written in the late 90s until I looked them up. O_O

[geezusmylove]

@giantlabs This sounds so early 1960's.

[chadd990]

I like the part where the song is over. It reminds me of a better time.

[Truthseekeroftoday]

I would give anything to have the 1980's back; life was so much simpler back then; our economy wasn't equivalent to a 90 pound weakling, politics was better, the music was WAY better, movies were better, black music was WAY better with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, etc.; clubbing was more fun and significantly safer then today. Today's life is nothing but struggle, fustration, broken homes, and a deteriorating America and Europe; and to top it all off nothing but natural disasters.

[Lrodny]

am i on shrooms watching this?

[MissBiguk]

love this

[jonathanguitar27]

sick of all the retarded covers of this song Nothing compares to the original

[intenseca]

This song says everything you need to know about the 80s, techno, MTV (when they were actually playing videos). Its brilliant and is one of my all time faves

[Sarahpc77]

One of my fav songs of all time.

[Alextheguitarist11]

i thought the cure made this song !?!?!?!??

[Sarahpc77]

@Alextheguitarist11 They did. But Modern English version is the original.

[tjbaldwn]

i wonder if in the movie theater when Robbie Grey, the lead singer of this band, hears this song in a trailer he stands up and hes like, "everybody, thats my fucking song!"

[a1m33frank]

this is on "valley girl" Nicholas Cage is in the movie. it's super funny!

[captainhitsugai]

is this the original?

[topcatroar61oliosc]

hey out there people?? who wants to stop the world and melt with me??? LMAO this is a great tune!! :)

[MrDrewoden]

got lag?

[jazz930]

This is gettin' better all the time.

[JanetEsq]

Beautiful love song, beautiful video. Thanks.

[LennLucky]

So classical, so good

[flapjack012]

ya this song got ruined by all the remakes!!! the original is the way to go!!! such a good song...i could have sworn that is was by the pychedelic furs tho

[TheDudeNova]

@flapjack012

fuck no, modern english! 4AD reckids, bitch!

[flapjack012]

@TheDudeNova haha kno that now...just sounded like them to me. cmon im only 16 i didnt live during this time haha

[ProudFinn1]

80's music here in the US, was epic. But it was just as beastly in England! I remember hearing this tune in my childhood. in the 90's. b,1989

[kmishka1]

hi sarah

[Moodi687]

I love this song,,, life was better in 80's. Things were much simple.

[AceDagger1]

I remember Burger King used this song in '96 for their commercials

[wager42]

Valley Girl used this song great music and a awesome movie,and Nicolas Cage in it better and better!

[80sjamming]

@wager42 haha Valley Girl! Classic teen angst!

[MrMarkkee]

excellent...try some psychelic furs.....unbelievable ...sex pistals..never were into them but had friend that loved them! good luck!

[dakiddj0se]

good song that give me a headache

[RockrFilms]

I clicked LIKE because of the Mac logo.

[WerewolfCat890]

I <3 this song sooo much! Valley Girl was a classic :)

[funaddict95]

This song was on the powderpuff girls and i can just now listen to it again because it gave me nightmares

[hslicee813]

god, this brings back memories <3

[globalchaos1984]

COMMERCIALS NEED TO STOP RUINING CLASSIC SONGS TO SELL THEIR STUPID BULLSHIT!

[MoosicandCritters]

@globalchaos1984 Agreed!

[behrooz4]

@globalchaos1984 Want to save 15% or more on car insurance? Switch to Geico! Oh no, commercials have invaded youtube comments!!!!!

[trollshamanpwnage]

@globalchaos1984 chocolate is worth this song.

[KrazyKommieKiller]

@globalchaos1984 How did they kill it? I first heard this in that tacobell commercial and I got turned on to a sector of music I'd never heard of before. Without exposure in modern advertising, video games, and films alot of music risks being largely lost to history. If shit music is all you hear in media it won't be long until only shit music exists and real talent is replaced with crap manufactured on computers.

[MrBobe9]

@KrazyKommieKiller They use song for commercial to target certain age for their product, it is fair because we can have good vibration when we hear songs that were so great, otherwise we would just forget them.

[katzgoboom]

@KrazyKommieKiller I feel the same way about a LOT of Glee covers. Were they as good? No. But I know far too many people (who, granted, were mostly young) who listened to Glee covers and were inspired to listen to the original and love it, thus learning more about a genre of music.

[mdelair420]

@globalchaos1984 i'm with you on that one..they are just killing some good art.

why cant they make up a jingles like charlies oshikuru,,from two and a half men..peace out

[spartan132]

@globalchaos1984 Yeah! Kinda like how they use the Flintstones and the Jetsons to sell products..... I bet kids these days dont even know that those were actual cartoons rather than Ad figures :P

[0411manuel]

@globalchaos1984  If it wasn't for those commercials I would have never heard this song. I'm a 23 year old mexican.

[0411manuel]

@globalchaos1984 I have never went out to buy something because of the music the commercial used.

[UncutTuts]

@globalchaos1984 Yes, that is how I got here, but the commercials ruin the song because it reminds of their advertisement.

[CorporalTyWeber]

@globalchaos1984 I have a very easy solution that has been working years for me. STOP WATCHING THE PROPAGHANDI BOX! Thanks for posting the song.

[dirtyhavoc]

stop that! the swirlies are making me dizzy.

[mintgumdropz1]

LOVE the swirlies ! Reminds me of the computers in the old days, the screensavers? Remember them from Apple ? Love it ! faved,too. this one takes me back...

[killahunterx]

this bring back a lot of great memories

[FoXyluv74]

@killahunterx : It really does bring back great memories, doesn't it?! Lawdie I miss them days <3

[hannahevilangel]

can't beat 80s love songs :)

[BreezyPride]

Ok...the walls are bulging... maybe it's the weed or your "swirlies"....lol jk.

[sharonfreitas1]

We played this song during our honeymoon, over and over... was sweet times!

[sharonfreitas1]

We played this song during our honeymoon, over and over... was sweet times!

[bandgeekboy1]

I love sharing ear phones with my girlfriend while listening to this song, and playfully singing it out of tune with her (: 

[Volumesofdoom]

I regained my virginity to this song!

[mintgumdropz1]

@Volumesofdoom me,too. And tooka few others ( wink,wink)

Hey jack, I remember that night !

[xTaylorr12345]

This Song NEVER Gets Old. <3333333

[djlovesto69]

[MrLukerbs]

[yamialan1]

A very beautiful song.

[docterherb88]

Ahhhh a classic one hit wonder

[SuperHorselover29]

Hershey killed the song too...

I still listen to it in the car :)

[earlymtv]

[2dogarage]

snapshot of an era

[wendyspwnsu]

Hershey ruined this  ):

[pioneerstothefalls]

[crunchyspringroll]

@drcoolcabbage MINDBLOWN.

Shit that means I lost my virginity when I was like 10. DAMMIT.

[3939jessie]

i fucking love this song oh yeaaaaa haha

[oxamanda93xo]

sponsored by apple

[tsimurda]

Hershey ruined this song for me.

[MrAflac9916]

@tsimurda oh gosh i hate that commercial!

[Chucoishighoncoke]

@tsimurda big time

[drefeno]

@tsimurda How? Hershey used it?

[southport97]

The original and best.

[NURSEJESS288]

oldie but among one my faves!

[TboltHurricane]

51 people will melt with themselves. . .

[s0nnyburnett]

Taco Bell almost killed it? And not the million cleaning products commercials? It would have killed it for me until I had a dream with a cool version of this song that made me rediscover something I thought I'd never take a second look at again.

[habibita129]

This is the best video I have seen in my life!!!!

[elemento1991]

1:57 is absolutely amazing.

[jjlucash]

I liked their second version the best.

[alexgaskarthlova]

i've constantly keep raping the play button over and over again, this song is absolutely a drug ;)

[alexgaskarthlova]

Haha i heard this on the movie Valley Girl one of my favorite movies including Sixteen Candles& The Breakfast Club, anyways i love this song *_*

[Mawfucca420]

this song reminds me of melting w the world on aciid bruh. hahaah thumbs up

[wisper6419]

All I can say is "Valley Girls"!!

[alefaye36]

I was born in '83. I think I was concieved to this song ... it's always been one of my favorites!

[happyhoman]

Sounds a lot like a wedding song. Two shall become one flesh. Just an early 80's New Wave, synchpop way of saying it. But it means the same.

[MrBrad4war]

my soul loves this huh

[MrBrad4war]

my name is bradley and i was 10 when this song came out, but i have always loved this piece of art

[duhjuce]

the futures open wide...Ive seen the changes/you've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time

[bluskytrvlr]

Thank you Carrie, spot on as always. I needed a lift, reading about Willie Nelson maybe going to jail, well, to a Texan thats just sacrilege or something straight outta Alices Restaurant.........

[MrUniGee]

IF U LIKE THIS U SHUD WATCH DO THE COCOA BUTTER

[ojneb12]

DreamOnAerosmith FYI: This version owns all covers. End of discussion.

-----> YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

[er6789er]

Love is a whisper brushing against your face...

[19580822]

It's also a perfect ending tune to "Valley Girl" (1983) with Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman.

[XxlapoopdawgJRxX]

trippy..

[8o8hawaiii]

The other band made it sound like shit.

[kernerschreiber13]

Just a fucking brilliant tune......good ol´80´s New Wave at its best......!!

Indisputable: Five Stars !!

[Julie32915]

well i love that song and bfs i think it would be cool this song have you heard phineas and ferb song by bowling for soup

[Julie32915]

bfs is not suck

[luvstosplooge14]

@Julie32915 nice grammar

[er6789er]

@luvstosplooge14 - dig...funny...

[LolaArmyBrat]

I will play this song at my wedding. We will dance, and jump, and sing, and the walls will crack as they strain to contain so much happiness. Thank you, Robbie Grey.

And a big fuck off to Hershey's. They will never understand. D:!

[Apilak]

i dont understand the lyrics what is he talking about...ice cream?

[deppth1]

@Apilak wth? hes talking about a girl that he would do anything to be with. ice cream?? rofl wow

[risewithfallen101]

Hershey's Chocolate, fuck you. >:(

[tjsurf1122]

miss the days when people wore creepers tight jeans and sweater vests haha now its all baggy clothes and rap, puke

[TakeshiMomoshiro]

The great thing is that, for whatever (perfectly great) reason, I don't associate this song with Taco Bell or any other ads it is/was associated with this.

Take that you dirty companies with your dirty marketing ploys...Fffffuck off.

[theswoogie]

Craig Ferguson is the best! When the show started last night, and saw that it was going to be one of his karoke openings, I got excited and moved right in front of the tv. It's great how into it his audience gets.

[TacticalKarma]

I agree, Craig Ferguson's version is much better that he did on his show last night. Genius.

[ani625]

Craig ferguson rocks!

[JealousBtchesStlEnvy]

@ani625

what's this got to do with him?

[ani625]

@JealousBtchesStlEnvy He used it in one of his intros. /watch?v=GCtIVti7uRI

[ElSanti0]

@ani625 Craig Ferguson sings this!?

[flowercloud62]

@ElSanti0 no but he made a clip thing of them all singing it

[jarrx30xx]

@Lighthouse724 youre not getting smart are you?

[wozuta44]

the best ....



[sokoratwiliprincess]

im not sure which version is better this or bowling for soup, bowling for soup is more rock though, where as this isnt its more i dunno but not as rockish

[kyle2771995]

@sokoratwiliprincess I think it's technically British Pop

[doetim]

@kyle2771995 Sure it's British pop because they are british and it's a pop song but if you meant "britpop" which was a specific genre created by the media in the late 80's to early 90's to describe bands like oasis, blur, suede, elastica, pulp, etc then this is not really that. This group is more post punk or new wave cuz it's from 1982 before the term "britpop" existed.

[Carobug5]

I like this and Bowling gor Soup's version. :D

[dgents100]

yeh taco bell has nothing on this song

I fell in love with my girl listening to this song

classics are classics

[delson84]

I clicked Dislike because of the Mac logo.

[tw2org]

OK Go's "this too shall pass" sounds a lot like "I Melt With You"

[TheJenjen78]

Yes love this song

[mofofosho13]

@selome101 - Yes it is simple, essentially a 2 chord song except for the minor modulation at the bridge. That's what made the British 80's bands great, the simplicity without the corny bubble gum sound of the 50's ( though 70's rock is still the best - in my opinion). But it is very hard to write a great, memorable and original 2 chord song like this- and no guitar solo either.

[TheRocker727]

i like this song pure rock but

i dont have any problem with BFS version , bfs made alot of cover like

summer of 69

i melt with you

hot and cold

and more xD This song ROCKS Modern english rocks bowling for soup rocks we all rocks

[TheRocker727]

Rock all day and Roll all night



[silntwaves]

I like this old version the best :)

[sillysparky38010]

Been looking for this for so long... It's amazing :)

[Thetalker1210]

Were is the instrumental of this song?

[mofofosho13]

@Thetalker1210 - If you're expecting a guitar solo, you won't find it. This is the signature 80's sound (except the hairbands), simple chord structures and no guitar solo. There is the synth solo for a few bars, (it sounds like the NBC riff) but it's not a true solo because it does it throughout the song and doesn't change.

[Thetalker1210]

@mofofosho13 What? I never went on this video and--oh wait my dad probably did this! He doesn't want to make a youtube account so he uses mine for old 80's music! Sorry about that but I will inform my dad about your reply! And I'm totally making an account for him, wither he likes it or not!

[dancestar704]

I lost my virginity to this song.
