[mntnbkr27]

[jhizzleism]

There were Instruments??? I didn't notice...lol

[jazz351974]

[BBvoice3]

Call me crazy, but I don't think they're really playing those instruments.

[sysdneyjan]

@BBvoice3 I'm surprised you're looking at the instruments ....

[joebananatube]

@BBvoice3 Okay, your crazy. Just what do you think they're doing with them? They're certainly not riding them, or smoking them. Or, inserting them, or sitting on them, or, flying them, or beating each other with them, nope, it looks like they may be playing them, can't tell from this angle.

[kbkchooch]

Used to sing this to my girlfriend (now wife) "Might as well face it, it's the dick that you Love!"

hehehe ;-p

[TheGagulina]

@kbkchooch hehehehe cool :-)

[Prowler609]

@kbkchooch I go with the Tom Petty song "You Got Lucky" babe, when I found you... she enjoys it just as much today as she did 20 years ago!!

[voon100]

Dear Vevo, Let me start by sayin get your fuckin corporate asses off youtube!? Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their fucking videos we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you we'd go to your stupid ass fuckin' website.

THUMBS UP THIS THEN COPY AND PASTE TO ALL VEVO VIDEOS

[joelbeblue1]

closer to the truth that you cant get enough of the stuff!!....he got away with it way back....king of cool for sure!

[cindernation12]

I don't know where I was 10 years ago when Robert Palmer suddenly died, but I just found out today on the radio. I loved his GQ sense of fashion as he was very pleasing to the eyes. To Robert Palmer... flights of angels!

[kokanee2010a]

I watch this video every now and then when I pine to see the eyes of the hot keyboard player.

[MafaldaXapelli]

thumbs up if you ended up here from kanye west O_o like me...

[Dant2142]

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I love this video, always have! Sad he's gone.

[cbl1948]

@JOHNINCOLUMBUS I am very sad he is gone. Died at the age of 54 of a heart attack. Showed no signs of heart disease or trouble before, in his life. Go figure. Maybe, as Billy Joel said/sang, "Only the good die young."

[TheLadyWind]

@cbl1948 He was a heavy smoker and died of a heart attack.

[fogggygyrl]

This is the video that kicked off the vamp-goth look. Oh yeah!

[JavierMcgregor1765]

Ya me gustaría llegar al trabajo y nada más entrar que me recibieran con esta canción y con estas tremendas tías, de las que ya no se ven.y en el trabajo menos,

[jhdawgfan]

One of the reasons I want to be a woman

[Hoshitori]

[cbl1948]

@Hoshitori Huh?? Think I missed something there.

[brionnadow]

[angel2rx]

"a one track mind, you can't deceive."

[xxleandraxx1]

Oh memories. My father and I would blast this in the truck, and when we were at the stop lights people in the cars next to us would stare at us. So, we'd blast it with the windows down and sing to them. lmao fuckers would take off fast ahahaha

[Mentorcase]

Ergle snerk

[hannas1234]

[WarriorMigs24]

RIP Robert

[whitee1992]

Robert Palmer was probably the smoothest guy to step behind a microphone.

[cbl1948]

@whitee1992 Agreed. :)

[jameschar24]

Robert Palmer was SOOOO cool!!!

[cbl1948]

@jameschar24 Yes, he was. Love the dresses and expressions of the women band on this video. Really knocks me out. ;)

[breadbaker226]

bump and grind music

[kilgonus]

The commerial before the music featured anti-music. I don't need see Brittany to appreciate real music.

[satron82]

Robert Plant: Just another 80s one hit wonder.

[40klazysunday]

@satron82 He had two hits.

[stewie571]

No wonder he passed away from a heart attack with all those sex kittens around him.Yes I agree a great singer great mover and a great bloke.

[Xcymenes]

A gdzie polskie " ruchałbym" i sto łapek w górę? Jestem zawiedziony

[cantamos100]

R.I.P., Robert

[thequest49]

[neonninja427]

FLorence and the Machine did a cover of this and it was freaking amazing. Might as well face it your addicted to FLorence (or this Rob guy)

[stuffitTX]

30 years later: i still want my MTV!

[linscott63]

@stuffitTX me too,but the "original" when all they played were videos.....not crap!!!

[mrusa4440]

@stuffitTX Most kids today don't know what the "M" in MTV stands for...LOL

[mushuwushugrand]

@stuffitTX where did it go!?

[slackmasterGeneral]

@stuffitTX I remember when MTV not only played only music videos, it had no commercials. Those were the glory days.

[MrMarlboro2009]

@stuffitTX I remember when mtv used to play music videos

[nocioniisgod]

@MrMarlboro2009 No I dont Im not 30

[catsenround]

@stuffitTX yeah but mtv sux now, its not like it was back in the 80's. its too bad they have too many shows and not enough music videos. remember max head room love it. those were the days

[cbl1948]

@catsenround Love your comment and couldn't agree more. At least SOME people on this site have some taste, intelligence, and actually comment on the actual MUSIC instead of non-relevant, totally stupid BULLSHIT!! May you have a long life filled with at good, if not great music of all genres. ;)

[don182004]

r u serious! was this his band?!! always liked his music,never knew the band.They were good! Need some talented bands like that for today.

[superfob54]

@don182004 lol no that's not his band. just some random models acting like they know how to play these instruments

[pacratboots]

2:20 starts probably the best few seconds of the video hahaa .... love it

[MrPedrojose1967]

For me, this video is the winner on sensuality!

[LBart218]

The bra-less wonders!

[EinerHjarHD]

Owned by The Cure!! :D

[ChildrenOfFlea]

I had no idea Mike Myers ever had a singing career!

[satron82]

Those are the most rockin mimes I've ever seen.

[akiwiguy1]

@ 0.12 I'm in love.... Mak Gilchrist is a hottie.

[areyoulost2]

Man I wish ?

[osky1416]

WHO THE HECK Can Dislike this Video? Just Saying...

[pacratboots]

@osky1416 agreed .. approximately 160 people need their heads checked right now..

[ambibu]

shht .... where they have put the 1080p button?....

[MrJohndl]

mmmm...I like the chick with the short dark hair the best.

[mdyewhea]

Classic, classic, classic. I hate to show how old I am, but those were the golden days of MTV, and good times in general. "Some Like it Hot" and "Get it On" (the cover of T Rex's song) were the best songs (more than two hits!) from Power Station, but I like that the robo women are playing guitar on this one...

[MrRevko]

i always like the robo model rock band behind him on this video. Really cracks me up! I hate pop music, basically, but this is a classic one hit wonder that stands on its own, sexist, sex, sex, sex, xxx lol.

[TheNightrain99]

@MrRevko what about 'simply irresistible'?!?! 2 hit wonder perhaps...

[way2fast4usucker]

Man they dont make songs like this anymore. Sure wish he was still making them!!!!!

[ronzieakabella]

i always wondered are the girls really playing the instruments or are they just faking it?

[losttreasurehunt]

This is a great dance song back in the day, just dance with the ladies

[whitecat006]

I love Florence's version this song.

[scarlett0kiwi]

@whitecat006 I love florence sooo much but... this song is better by robert palmer, sorry! :)

[whitecat006]

@scarlett0kiwi It's only your opinion. I think otherwise but I have right to this. ;) However I respect your opinion. ;)

[MegaLfc2012]

i hate adverts on youtube

[MMAmachinhead92]

Those chicks look like they're better playing mouth instruments than hand instruments.

[Booom4ever]

how would the song sound if the girls would really play their instruments? :D

[IbDaToNeGuY]

@ 2:28 i'm in love

[cytotoxix]

The women in this vid are HOT. And NO, they were not standing next to legend Robert Palmer. Quite the contrary : Palmer was standing in front of a screen on which the film of the sexy ladies was being projected.

[Easyandy100]

@cytotoxix Completely wrong. No screen (technically it would have been very difficult to film that back then) the ladies are standing behind Palmer in the same room. But I like your attempt at at least TRYNG to sound intelligent.

[cytotoxix]

This video sexist ? Well thankfully, we in the 80's didn't see things THAT way, we were more mature. You don't like this, then go and watch Lady Gaga or similar trash.

[Easyandy100]

@cytotoxix I would have said ignorant rather than mature I'm not sure how you come up with the idea that a reasoned analysis of this video is immature but maybe that's due to your ignorance. I too was around in the 80's and the video was blasted as sexist and Palmer got a reputation as such even though he was one of the more intelligent musicians around at the time. The video wasn't even his idea.

[junnielooniebaboonie]

why cant you just enjoy the music without being critical to the video....I dont know how this video could be sexist....if you dont like the video then dont watch it....

[Easyandy100]

@junnielooniebaboonie As I said I didn't say I didn't like it but it is sexist. The music is great.

[MiniBabe428]

The number one song in the US on the day I was born... at least it's one I'm familiar with!

[guestandsons]

@MiniBabe428 Yes true! Why oh why it didn't make #1 in the UK as well?

[MiniBabe428]

@guestandsons Good question... apparently it was George Michael - A Different Corner in the UK... according to bobborst.com/popculture/number­onesongs/

[pigbang]

that song reminds me that i'm addicted to gore

[Ellipser]

3:20 I think the guitar girl is addicted like over-stroking the chord.

[xxhenk321xx]

i love top comments from poland

[WarriorMigs24]

Sexy Girls i love it

[Evitadp]

my god, their make up is soooo 80's!

[TheGentleman2007]

I love Robert Palmer..........just tired of commercials on everything anymore. Give me a break please.

[Axemaniv]

May God bless Robert Palmer

[StephenBass4eva]

never got why this vid and simply irresistible had these women dressed like this, but great music all the same

[Arachnaphillic]

These were the days when music took talent not tits. These days talentless idiots flash some flesh and people forget the music.

[BocifusPotions]

Even before The Powerstation, Tony T was laying drum tracks for Palmer's solo work. Tony has a particular style of playing, big thick drum sound RIP to both legendary people in music history.

[chrish1028]

might as well face it, Palmer was a total f'ing bad-ass!!

[jjdenim]

Video directed by fashion photographer Terence Donovan and styled by Elizabeth Tilberis (then fashion editor at Vogue, who rose to become editor in chief of Vogue then U.S Harper's Bazaar)

[Easyandy100]

Possibly one of the most sexist videos ever. And I mean sexist towards women.

[jademm]

@Easyandy100

How is this video sexist? Where's the misogyny or inequality? How exactly does seeing one male lead with five women acting as a backup band violate your sensibilities? The ladies don't even look trampy. Would it be less sexist and more memorable if they looked homely? Did you think Shania Twain's parody of this vid was sexist too? You're either a guy that envies Robert Palmer for being surrounded by beautiful models or a woman who feels threatened by their sexiness.

[Easyandy100]

@jademm The females are musically inept, interchangable, ornamental, passive and speechless rendering them unidentifiable, nameless, anonymous and unacknowledged with the male playing the only active role and as such this performance is a fine example of the objectification of women in media. The fact that Twain, along with a few other female stars, choose to parody this video by reversing the roles is surely indicative of their awareness of the inherent sexism on display?

[junnielooniebaboonie]

@Easyandy100 if you do not like the video then go screw yourself....

[Easyandy100]

@junnielooniebaboonie Didn't say I didn't like it.

[jademm]

@Easyandy100

Wait a sec...you LIKE the video even though it's "sexist" (according to you)? Hypocrite much?

[Easyandy100]

@jademm Yeah. I do like it but it clearly is a bit sexist. Great song as well. But like I say the video was not Palmers idea even so, he was labelled sexist when it came out (look up the history of it) even though he was obviously very intelligent. Still, the controversy bought him more fame in the end. Anyway, thanks for your time. You have been great fun. x

[jademm]

@Easyandy100 Oh for pete's sake, you humorless, anal retentive, politically correct moron...it's ART in the form of a 4-minute music video!!! The females are just ACTING!! Movie extras are nameless, speechless, passive, interchangeable, ornamental and unacknowledged too...ya gonna complain about the infringement of their human rights now? Your argument is so lame. Please go elsewhere to troll.

[Schiefthunder]

@jademm Hmmmm, here's a stereotype which comes to mind reading your comment.............. Dungarees Doc Martens and a Crew Cut!!! To all the militant feminists out there I have a simple solution to suggest to you when any video inherently offends you personally- just don't watch it! Really boring to read inane drivel coming from somebody who simply comes off as jealous. I would understand if Palmer had them in pinnies or even semi clad- just get over it!!!

[Easyandy100]

@Schiefthunder Your use of stereotypes highlights your inability to think. It has nothing to do with the women being sexy more to do with the females displayed as musically inept, interchangable, ornamental, passive and speechless rendering them unidentifiable, nameless, anonymous and unacknowledged with the male playing the only active role. The females are reduced to objects.

[josephbeckim]

@Easyandy100 What?????? Put the gun to your head and pull the trigger. nothing will change.

[Easyandy100]

@josephbeckim What gun?

[wieslawl59]

@jademm She meant sexy, not sexist.

[junnielooniebaboonie]

@jademm love your comment at easyandy i remember seeing this video when i was younger and i though what lucky women...and it cant be to sexist if shania twain used part of this idea for one of her videos....

[Easyandy100]

@junnielooniebaboonie As I mentioned Twain and many other female artists PARODY the video. That is they make fun of it because it is sexist.

[jademm]

@Easyandy100 It is YOUR assumption that Twain did the parody to combat sexism. Ever heard the phrase, "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery"? If she truly felt that Palmer was objectifying women in a deplorable way, why would she approve mimicking him by objectifying men in her video and think it's OK? Makes no sense.

[Easyandy100]

@jademm Too parody is make fun of something. So I would say along with 99% of the people that are aware of the connection that she is mocking the original video because of its apparant sexism.

[tishtishx]

Love song, love video gimmick, love Palmer's voice...but why does he have to look so much like Jerry Springer???

[gjordan12198]

Love the song, hate the video!

[02chevyguy]

@gjordan12198 I remember the first time I showed this video to a friend of mine after I had recorded it off of "Friday Night Videos". She couldn't stand watching it.  She absolutely HATED the way the women looked.

[proteinshake86]

is it just me or does this guy look just like Ewan McGregor.....

[crazyfvck]

@proteinshake86 That's exactly what I was thinking.

[nil233x]

This was when MTV was a good place to waste a few hours.

[Bankai869107]

156 poeple aren't addicted to love

[iamawhore1]

i remember when i was in high school, they showed us a cheesy sex ed video. this was the intro song, lol.

[perkoulidio]

the ultimate strip song.

[lookitsapanther]

Damnit Youtube....The unskippable ads are slowly getting longer -_-

[JustWaIkAway]

the best thing about being a woman...

[MMAmachinhead92]

This was the song I was listening to when I got my first blowjob. It didn't last long due to all the build-up and excitement, so I finished quick. But this song made the experience perpetually awesome.

[SeattleEllinas]

@MMAmachinhead92

Did you have a mullet back then too?

[54markg]

Que mulherada mais erótica!!!!!! I like!!!

[electrofuktard]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[wieslawl59]

The last chorus sounds in my foreign ears like: 'My anus swell, face it, you're a dick in the glove'.

[mikefmich]

@wieslawl59 LMAO....

[mrpaxtonquigley]

@wieslawl59 HAAAAAAFREAKIN'HAAA!!!!
