Just a note: This song it was never included on the tracklist of Behaviour. It was an "offside" release, a double A side indeed, to support How can you expect to be taken seriously.

[40ChampagneSupernova]

@IrvoDominguez .. It was released as single in Britain and the can't take my eyes of you part was a swipe at U2 (Chris Lowe once described Bono as the 8th deadly sin) and the can't take my eyes off you part was added as a wind up to U2's "gothic marketing" ploy concerning POP music . This version actually made it higher in the charts than U2's version (which i think is better) Iam a fan of U2 and PSB but this single, not included on any studio album from PSB was to simply annoy U2

[40ChampagneSupernova]

@IrvoDominguez .. How can you expect to be seriously was released as a single, the B side is We all feel better in the dark.. However as you correctly said, this song was never on Behaviour album.. How can you expect to be taken seriously was though. Track 4 if memory serves.

[vidcreations]

U2 and Pet Shop Boys both have a familar beat to Frankie Valli's "Can't take my eyes off of you"...hmmmm

[risteard01]

@vidcreations dunno about U2 but the writers of can't take my eyes off of you are included on the Pet Shop Boys release.

[40ChampagneSupernova]

@risteard01 was at Pet Shop Boys- Performance show in 1991 (Glasgow) and they sang the whole version, but when the DVD was released the cant take my eyes of you part is blanked out, he still sings it but the volume cuts out.It must have had something to do with copyright.U2 and the songwriters Gaudio/Crewe who wrote "Cant take my eyes you" for Andy Williams are also on the credits.But the copyright for this song is OWNED by Pet Shop Boys partnership under license to EMI. weird one !

[firstmusic00]

So they took a U2 song about freedom and turned it into a gay anthem? Umm...ok. Still a great a tune under all this glam...even covered in man goo.

[Vednier]

@BrianPriestleyShow They both great. Just different.

[josimarsiete]

kmo m ncanta sta canción, sta versión d los pet shop boyes m agrada mucho más q la de u2

[tomtomlover]

fernie get over it....your argument is 20 years too late

[tomtomlover]

really 20 years ago Damn...still holds it own

[FernieCanto]

It's amazing how the Pet Show Boys deconstruct pretty much EVERYTHING on the original U2 version; every little fragment of meaning and emotion is demolished in this version. It's one of the most radical and disrespectful covers in history, and so very subtle... and I love it to bits, in spite of liking U2 a lot.

This is one of those rare 80s groups whose music just got better and better as the decade progressed. IMO they reached their true stride in the early 90s, then pretty-much stayed there. Love them.

[gnelms24]

This version is way better than U2's version because pet shop boys has an great sense of humor.

[Sebitalo55]

Te lo dedico My Lady JAZ JAZZY _Sebinight Montenegro

[MrDrawingguy]

Fantastic... how have I never seen this?

[Diskoboy1974]

One of the best sequencer tracks in the history of electronic music.

[1980MF1980]

Love this and the U2 version! (though I think I like this one better, heard Bono didn't mind when they made this though they didn't have permission)

[gaberansenberg]

This is the only way I'll ever listen to a U2 song.

[geopara76]

isn't from the album "Discography" and not "behaviour"?

[tomgarne]

@geopara76 Both, Discography was a collection of singles

[eXPerienceyeah]

Early trance anyone?

[xijack]

ultimate mardi gras song

[ursa41]

If I were to be sent on a long voyage into outer space, and were provided with only ONE choice of music (ALL albums of course) from one musical group, I would have chosen PET SHOP BOYS. Perfect for a nice, cool voyage through the stars!!

[thecoldheart2012]

Once again: Cover / Version - who cares about those unimportant details... This PSB Track is a class of it's own - it's just cool and self-ironic. U2 instead are always trying to be so goddamn serious, but in fact U2 are only boring; just like all these other "great" hypocrites in "modern" music history - like Bob Geldof and Paul Mc Cartney... where at last only their business is booming. So... let's make lots of money!!! (Most people are so easy to deceive by media. That's a sad thing.)

[shmoker2010]

The haters have to get over themselves. Have a goddamned sense of humour people!

[Mondensohnmamo]

@Gurumze,what are you smoking?????...are you crazy????

[DanotheSnitch]

This is a crime against music

[Nicurru]

"I want to reach out and touch the flame" Yeah, I know who I would like to reach out and touch!

[thecoldheart2012]

Love this version! It's lightyears better than the U2 version! U2 were and are always a bit uncool, espesially Bono with all this benefit-stuff is so upsetting.

[coffeecat73]

@thecoldheart2012 I like this version better than the U2 version too. I really don't like the U2 version at all.

[thecoldheart2012]

@coffeecat73

Hey, you show a good taste for music - great! I, in general, prefer synthie-pop music - like Pet Shop Boys, OMD, Depeche Mode, Boytronic and also all the 80's italo-disco stuff - that's really cool music. This PSB-video is also very good and stylish (like most PSB studio-videos) - and the idea of mixing this originally boring U2 song with the disco-hit "Can't take my eyes off you" was a brilliant idea from PSB at that time then.

[mellman6]

Fuckin Faggot ass wankers, first they kill the atmosphere at the take that progress tour as the shitty support act, and then I find they absolutely murder my favorite song of all time!?!? Disgrace to music.

[TheRealThotti]

@mellman6 what kind of atmosphere? hysterically screaking "girlies" in their late 30s with their ugly husbands? PSB is one of the most successful pop duos of all time with lots of awards and hits since the 1980s. take that is a boy band over their time and a junky called robby williams. psb has defined dance and pop music. disgrace to your music...

[mellman6]

@TheRealThotti You know whats ironic about your response? I only went to see Take That with some mates cause I got free tickets.... TT were only marginally better.

[01Oetzi]

How can you say its even better than u2?! Bono sings it so great, this song is impossible to sing any better. I definitely don't like the Pet Shop Boys' version.

[MrHollywood775]

I love it! My Favorit in 1991 !

[Gurumze]

Even better than U2

[travcollier]

Amusing that PSB chose a Vegas motif, since the U2 original was for Joshua Tree. A different take on the desert motif. Huge props to U2, but got to admit I like the PSB version better... mixing in Can't Take My Eyes Off of You is such random brilliance. Not a point to argue over though. They are so different.

[RubberJohnathon]

I like the pet shop boys but this is utter shite!

[MrBuckley123]

lov ethe 80s 90s we had the best tunes

[mariusponta]

A great performane of PSB's .Is a very good cover and instrumental is excelent !!

[66berserker]

何度も聴いちゃう

[dulazquez]

amazing <3

[spidey0102]

Classic. That beat and the Vegas neo-retro video are fantastic. I could never decide which one was better, the U2 one or this, but this was somehow closer to me.

[lalarilalai]

@spidey0102 this one... really

[BLUEHIPPO47]

Eat shit U2 /Bongo you self obsessed tax avoiding arsehole..this version is ssssooo much better than yours.

[silva7509]

bacanisima esta version

[BiancaDe1980]

Ist das bei 3.26 ernst gemeint?

[53die9storno]

@BiancaDe1980 1. Wäre es der falsche Arm, der Hitlergruß wurde mit rrrechts ausgeführt und 2., wenn du genau hinschaust, sieht man, dass die Tänzer lediglich den Zeigefinger der Hand ausstrecken; eine Tanzbewegung, wie man sie häufig in der Disco-Ära der 70er Jahre wiederfindet (vgl. Staurday Night Fever).

[MrBuckley123]

old tunes never die

[stinelau]

Much better than U2, PSB rules

[WitasPL]

@stinelau

ROTFL
