Elton John - Heartache All Over The World

[shishkebaaaab]

girls girls girls or would you rather old old men men men

[skintrade]

Heartache all over the UK with TalkTalk broadband that's for sure

[39mishy]

i love this song such a catchy tune , I played this song heaps of time on my record player b ack in the 80s .

[EddieAlda]

Elton John is the QUEEN OF ENGLAND in case you were wondering.

[skintrade]

One the other 80's Elton Tracks that sounds great when you're drunk (leather jackets, most of ice on fire)

[FORZAISRAELE]

CLASSIC ELETTRO ROCK SOUND FROM 80

[neweng03]

Just a fun tune

[princette]

Same with me, everyone goes on about how chessy and poor this song is compared to all his others, and even Elton himself said it was shit, but I really like it, Its catchy, cute and has an adhesive pop chorus, its a bit of make believe for me. Its Elton playing it safe, and considering he was zonked out on coke and having ongoing problems with the Sun and its libel and eveything else, its actually quite good.

[overdrive71080]

another thing I like about this video is I think they used a 1910s camera to record parts of it

[overdrive71080]

I love the Video, and I like the gay Aladdin look Elton had here,

[ashleyandel]

Critics? Meh. This is AWESOME.

[ralphcletus]

Love this song!!

[honkycabbit]

@ zapkvr Elton really did love Renate but he couldn't hide fact he perfered men over women. He married her because she was different and that she liked making music and was able to play the piano. He did have a go at marriage bought her countless gifts of jewelry and clothes. He was just so miserable on drugs he thought marrying this fantastic woman would solve all his problems. And to this day when he talks about it he tears up cause he put her through all that.

[mikeyinqc]

leather jackets was a quick slap together album- he was trying to complete a required contract.  He simply wanted out- and used a series of discarded tracks from other albums to put together leather jackets. That being said- you can still feel the talent and abilities he has shining through.

[driffter1976]

This was the last time Elton was one of the lads. Once he got the fucking wig it was over!!

[zapkvr]

Who would have thought that when Elton married Renate that he wasn't really in love and that he really didn't care for girls all that much. I saw this tour with Elton and the ABC Orchestra in 1987 in Melbourne. The show was so good I went back two nights later. Leather packets stank though.

[vampirawithin]

Adoro o estilo retrô desse vídeo !

[vampirawithin]

Esse vídeo é show !

[oldschoolfan92]

It seems to be rubbish but i love this song, anyway...

I do not agree with elton's opinion that it's his worst album

[ipbsf]

@oldschoolfan92 He had not heard his last three at the time.

[4568Lee]

I thought I had seen every Elton video ever made, but I was wrong. I've never seen this one. I've seen video of him singing this song in concert, but not this one. Love the Jacket.

[johncuschieri]

this song kicks arse.

its a wonder it wasn't a giant hit.

[shootrmgavin]

pretty catching song, I remember it from when I was a kid and Mum cranking it on her tape deck.

Though I do find it heaps funny now listening to the lyrics and he's talking about trying to hook up with chicks....lol

[ipbsf]

I'm glad this wasn't more popular. I could easily see myself drunkenly karaokeing this otherwise. Meanwhile, I enjoy Davey Johnstone miming rockin' guitar when there is no guitar on this track.

[ipbsf]

I don't care what Elton says, I was in high school at the height of my fandom, bought the single, the Megamix and I'm willing to concede Leather Jackets was shitty but goddamit this song is epic. I'm glad Eltons off drugs, but he hasnt managed a hook this killer since.

[ashleyandel]

@ipbsf You know, I agree: I was about 5 years old when this song came out, and he'd also come down with potential throat cancer.

But, sometimes a great talent like this benefits from tough times, and this song indeed rocks.

I dare you to put it past my 6 year old self.

[hink32]

I hear you.....I was the same had Leather Jacket on Cassette...(You remember the breakthrough in portable music in a cassette) but had this on a 12" single extended version which i admit wasnt so portable but it got a fair workout

[karokeexpresso]

This album sounds even better if your drunk, its awesome :)

[hink32]

I remember an interview Elton did with Molly Meldrum and Elton hated this song...He was congratulated on it and he said he didnt care about it he'd just done it for the record company,,,which is sad cause It was always one of favs

[jnoble12]

I can see that...this was done during his heavy drug period when he wasn't thinking straight and Leather Jackets was done mainly to put out one more album to finish his contract with Geffen. It's also not exactly one of Bernie's best lyrics or Elton's most thoughtful arrangments.

[neogojira]

Watch this clip under shrooms and your spirit fly over your body

[bluebird2209]

amo este video!!!!! una de las mejores canciones de Elton!!! bueno, al menos para mi!

[chenlung1]

RIP Guy Babylon

[cristoforoantonio]

this is one of the favorite songs that never hit the top 40! i don't know why.  it is so catchy !!

[Iruotnem]

according to the top40 billboard hits book, it did, it just didn't make top 20, i think it should have

[UltraPOPDJ]

This is the first Elton John song to miss the US top 40 since 1972! It peaked at #55 and I never heard this until now. The song really isn't too bad, not certain as to what happened. I own both the "Top 40 Hits" and "Top Pop Singles". No disrespect at all, really.

[Iruotnem]

Oh, according to the remastered 2L40 album booklet, "he was enjoying a minor hit", so I thought anything that didn't hit top 40 was not even remotely considered a hit, this song is awesome and should have made it

[RebelFounderOdogoo]

I love this song.

[jnoble12]

I like how Davey Johnstone is "rockin' out" during the parts where there isn't any guitar whatsoever. I guess he had to look busy :-)

[bianco1850]

OK, muito legal esse video, valeu mesmo, parabéns, esta é raríssima ! congratulations!

[eltonsong]

ohhh me too!!! i love it!!! well, in fact, i love the man!!! jaja

[chenlung1]

I like the "girls girls girls" intro - shame it's not on the CD :(.

[jnoble12]

That's because they used the alternate mix which was available as the B-Side to the dance megamix version. So there's actually 3 versions of this song

[ClassicTVMan81]

I believe it is this mix that appears on the anthology album "Elton John's Greatest Hits Vol. III: 1979-1987." Correct?

[jnoble12]

I'm not sure, I never had Greatest Hits III. I assumed the album version was on it.

[CAT31in09]

What an well-vocalized song!!

[madalyn1990]

this song brings back memories.lots.

[0586730O2]

hair transplant deffo

[Scooterboi60]

It was played when it was first released but only for a couple of weeks cos it didn't go anywhere on the charts

[0586730O2]

makes sense i certainly don't remember it, instantly forgettable

[cyberade]

Does anyone know if this clip was released on video or DVD anywhere? It's one of my favourite Elton songs and yet none of the video channels here in Australia play it in their many 80s hours or Elton marathons...

[fishslacks]

the chic on the skins is a fair dinkum hornbag,phwworrrr

[acehighpat]

@fishslacks That is Jody Linscott. She is an in demand percussionist, and did the percussion on the album Leather Jackets where this song is from. She was also part of the Concert for Diana house band.

[corrupt200]

Elton actually went from tokyo to rome looking for guys, not girls

[madalyn1990]

lol

[70sPopRock]

Absolutely phenomenal song!!!

I have no idea how it didn't make #1

[JKSCN]

This is an awesome song! Love the video!

[ClassicTVMan81]

This studio album was the last one Elton had produced with his longtime producer Gus Dudgeon, whom he hired in 1970 after hearing David Bowie's "Space Oddity."

The only other 1980s Elton studio album that Dudgeon produced was "Ice on Fire," which also was not as big in sales.

[mp5tube9]

Best video of Sir Elton John. the genie outfit is THE most out-rageous yet best costume.

[5ugarz]

The hottie on the accoustic guitar aint half bad either. David Paton you rock my world!

[ClassicTVFan82]

Davey Johnstone also plays guitar in Elton John's band.

[koldkockrecords]

I have the dance single.This has the same intro part The Girls,Girls,Girls part and that 1980's drum crash. Never seen the video before. Love the 1930's silent movie bits in it too. Thanks for posting this.

George Binki Day 13thJune2008

[jnoble12]

yeah, I got the dance mix on an EP record off of Ebay a few years back and had someone burn it onto CD for me. I like it just as much as the regular version.

[lmepis]

Love it. I'd forgotten about this song til I was going thru my vinyl - so thrilled to find it on youtube. thanks!

[ClassicTVFan82]

I wonder if Motley Crue got the idea for their 1987 album (and song) "Girls, Girls, Girls" from this song's opening refrain.

[driffter76]

Axe made a song called 'Girls, Girls, Girls' in 1983.

[coolstone07]

I love this song man listen to the leather jackets album again its not that bad there are some good songs on there like this one,Paris,i fall apart,gypsy heart etc.. I think its a good album-each to there own.

[ClassicTVFan82]

In this song, does it sound Elton's voice is about to give out?

[jnoble12]

Elton's voice was about to give out. He had throat pollups that needed surgery to remove later that year.

[ClassicTVMan81]

That inferior vocal quality can also be heard on his 1987 live album "Live in Australia," which featured the first version of "Candle in the Wind" to chart in the USA, going to #6 in early 1988.

[princette]

Good song, but totally unconvincing, could EJ be any camper at all here for 1986

[jnoble12]

Is this one of EJ's classic songs? NO

Is it dated and cheesy sounding? YES

But...

Is it one of my top ten Elton songs of all times? YES

Why?

It's fun, I was a child of the '80s and currently being single, the lyrics describe my weekends to a T!

[aBerlin1945]

@jnoble12 Yeah, I think it's a really nice piece of craft. It really captures a feeling. Loneliness or whatever.

[gentlejoker]

I bought the album Leather Jacket so many years ago, listened to it once and never again after that. Then I saw this video and decided to give it one more try. No, I don't like it. Elton John has written much better music than this.

[adog262]

It is a lesser album from Elton John's collection. In fact, by its sales, ratings, and reviews, this would technically be just about the worst album Elton ever did. Don't get me wrong now, there is quality in the music we got here! There are good songs on here, but the production was very limited. In addition to that, his contract with Geffen Records was coming towards an end, limiting his production time.

[ComeDownInTime]

I've ALWAYS loved this song! Thanks for posting it!

[markctp]

Love this song. I was in Highschool when this was released. Here in Australia this was a top ten song & the album Leather Jackets made the top 5 & went platinum. Very underrated album & song.

[siasti]

This is my favorite Elton John song - mainly because I was in Tokyo (he refers to Tokyo in the song) when it came out. I was also girlfriend-less (married with children, plus a bit on the side now) which made the song resonate for me.

[wills52b]

very upbeat elton and davey having a ball great song

[roaming80]

Such an upbeat song! Love it.

[deliriousTT]

IMHO Leather Jackets is sooo frustratingly underrated album. There's quite a few jewels in there. Look it up guys!

[jnoble12]

Angeline, Don't Trust That Woman, Leather Jackets and Go It Alone are terrible songs that ruin the album.

[brianxyz]

"Go It Alone" totally rocks.

[skintrade]

I agree. Angeline is really dull.. imagine if the boys from Queen played on the title track instead

[queenstarfish]

I agree---this song always puts me in a good mood :-)

[T42please]

very underrated song ! one of eltons best.

[elcarbonazo]

The first single for the Leather Jackets album from 1986

[WhisperLady023]

Wow love it!!!!! Looks like Wrap her up!

[ClassicTVFan82]

Without George Michael, that is...

[ZiggyStardust35]

wow! this is a wonderfully melodic song!

very nice! :)

5* post!

[Regdwight23]
