Tom Petty - You Got Lucky

[west3derek]

I love how this song is kind of a big "Fuck You".

[jeepgirlie70]

wow Stanle'y butt @ 2:55 LOL those are TIGHT!

[jeepgirlie70]

Stan my man you are SEXY!

[jidees]

I think this was the first video i ever watched. It was on Friday Night Videos before there was MTV.

[YouGotsToBeStupid]

this song gives me a boner everytime

[16wani]

They would have been amazing as browncoats :-D

[nowisfine]

wanna dance?

[SunshineLuvsmusic]

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at their best... Love this! 

[gothiccowgirl]

Wow, that is awfully good sound quality coming out of that POS radio.

[EMCEscher]

Hey, he knocked over that Astro Invaders arcade. Must have not liked the game.

[southernboy82able]

love this song tom pettys the shit

[Delivery468213]

Alien Cowboy.......Yay

[Bruinboi16]

1:12

[kat89433]

I used to tell my husband all the time, you lucky when you found me. Since his stroke, now I tell him him, I got lucky when I found you

[lutollo]

i was all set to hate this video...and then..well...it got better..lol...but what a song!..i wanted to say this to the 99 or so girlfriends i've had..while they were busy trying to make me angry-happy-miserable-ecstatic­- and a worshipper...but it was them..who got lucky...*laughing*..and thats a secret kept till now.

[KlayyJayy]

@lutollo Glad you likedit

[Putaspellonyou]

the first music video to include a specially written score in addition to the actualsong... 

[elleisafreak]

You got lucky? Seven out of order because 7 is the scariest of all #'s.789, guess 6 called in sick.

[DoubleVisionandco]

Even so the 80`s was the video age and so many good videos came out this remains one of my all time favorites from that period. I don`t know what it is about this video that makes it so cool. Somehow this song and video just seems to define the 80`s which was the best decade of my life. I still feel like I was one of the lucky ones that got to experience it first hand by being apart of it.

[filibertoa85]

thanks!!!!

[kocnn]

great video, its like 2010 in the video, nice

[kocnn]

great video, like that's a thing

[waxpancake]

This video made me cry. Working "Astro Invaders" cabinets are rare!

[Figger76]

This was the first video I saw on MTV when I got cable TV for the first time. It will always have special meaning for me.

[309hjk]

Hell I had a flashback before MTV..I hope this one is part of the next halftime show..

[KJH2123164]

now was this not the first video played on MTV in December of 1984?

[doughboy206]

Under rated timeless classic

[Rushville030]

I never tire of this tune; my other favorite is " I won't back down"

BTW, good love is not hard to find as long as you're looking for someone you can stand being with not just looking at. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so, if he/she has a decent sense of humor, takes pride in appearance, picks up after him/herself and has similar long term goals no reason not to get lucky and last.......

[brandie5848]

Tom Petty is the shit♥

[MrSkorpionking71]

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers rule!

[veryrandombutterfly]

awesome song

8D

[Prowler609]

Love the song, love the video--- But what does one have to do with the other!! Just sayin!!

[oOSignalzOo]

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS VIDEO HAVE TO DO WITH THIS SONG. SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE, BECAUSE MTV IS REALLY FUCKED

[chrishouchins49]

@oOSignalzOo - maybe he's talking about the electronic stash he found? I know, doesn't make sense but I still love the video. :)

[oOSignalzOo]

@chrishouchins49 Lol right on that one when i seen your reply made me want to listen to it again and watch the vid aswell TY

[shitfer]

@oOSignalzOo Back in the day, a lot of videos had nothing to do with the song. Music is open to a lot of interpretation by the listener & shouldn't matter what you're viewing. There was a day when video wasn't associated with music. Can you imagine?

I really didn't appreciate this tune enough back when MTV played the crap out of it, but I do now. Love Mike Campbell's playing & wish I could stumble upon a tent in the middle of nowhere to find a Gretsch.

[orbitalspin2011]

Silly video but the song is Tom Petty's best

[hazTweetur4eatmeburd]

45 ppl got carried away

[yhuep]

CLASSIC!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

[8088ee]

MIDWAY CARRIER SORYU @ 2.47

[madastrota]

..wow...nostalgia..

[PYSCOPOMP]

old scholll

how do you spell school?

[benlevine68]

@PYSCOPOMP  Skool!!!!!!!!!!

[kat89433]

I love this song, and I can't for the life of me, remember seeing this video!! I LOVE IT

[sadalite]

Tom really showed that video game whos boss.

[youraverageuser]

a true classic..

[6bethany9]

YAYYAAYAYAYYAAYAYA ITS ME BERTHA

[hurtfan09]

This was the first music video on MTV...love it



[RainaEmms]

@hurtfan09 - maybe it was when MTV premiered on your cable system, but the first music video on MTV was The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star"

[bamboneski]

@hurtfan09 really?

[cherokeedoll1]

doest get any better than the 80's

[174863og]

After two and half years together the girl I love broke up with me today, this song sums up all what I'm feeling.

[Gorbachenko]

@174863og Don't put too much faith in women. Loving one is kind of like riding a horse; you can go along smoothly for a long time, but you gotta keep in the back of your mind that you can get bucked off at any second. Always be prepared for it and try to land on your feet when it does happen.

[buzztubebuzztube]

@Gorbachenko you are way too fuckin right!!!!!!

[8100carino]

@Gorbachenko ... that is so funny. i ride horses and i am a woman.

[RipTheSystem33]

@Gorbachenko That can describe pretty much anything. Individual circumstances have just as much do with outcome than any universal truths. But yes, you can get "bucked off" at any second with pretty much anything in life, including life itself.

[DoubleVisionandco]

@Gorbachenko Well said. It reminds me of what Captain Sydney said in the book to the video game pirates "The caribbean is like one of those high born spanish ladies, ye can love her but ye can`t trust her. One minute she`s placid as a sea cow and yer sailin` along easy as kiss my hand. The next she throws a hurricane at ye and yer runnin` as if the hounds of hell were dead on your ass swearin` that if ye gets out of this alive ye`ll never step foot on a boat again"

[koviack]

@Gorbachenko when horses buck you're supposed to hold on bro.. lol

[MrZekee]

in 1985 watching this video on MTV was great , today MTV is pece of crap w / those pussy reality shows ...

[xpfuzz]

@MrZekee MTV blows large donkey peters...

[bboyrx]

i remember the first time i saw this on tv, i was like..... happy!

[OnTheRunSinceBirth]

Completely reminds me of my childhood. Beginning always got me psyched for whats ahead.

[youraverageuser]

this is one great band so many awesome tunes & the whole Stevie Nicks thing singing with him, how can you beat that with today's music?

[car2bam]

this is awesome petty!

[TommyLog33]

this song is GREAT, if You've just been thru a Divorce, and in a lot of other situations, KEEP ROCKIN TOM PETTY!

[LOV3LYLOKS]

I love Tom Petty I love this song my god they dont make em like that anymore!!

[latucciart]

Wow, I just had a flashback to when MTV didn't suck ...

[rogerrrubin]

@latucciart  I remember those days........but now we got YouTube

[1BLKnUSA]

@latucciart Right on!

[DJRckwl]

@latucciart And we will always be the original (and best) "MTV Generation"

[HowDaddyIsDoing]

am i high?

[kiloggolik]

@HowDaddyIsDoing If you weren't before, you probably got a contact high while watching the video >_<

[cwjswag]

If I walked in there, the Gretsch would be the only thing I'd take, too. Beautiful classic guitar.

[israybil32980]

@cwjswag

Tell me about it! I'd sell my soul for a classic Gretsch.....seeing it on this video give me goose bumps!

[cgvalle11]

Tom Petty rules!

[Tinarinkus]

I love Tom Petty!!!!!!

[theart1rm]

Thanks for the reco. I haven't seen this is a long time. Had forgotten about it. Funny how the only thing they kept of all that stuff was the guitar. That was a cool video.

[8macadoodle]

i love my girl

[RxCxHerrera]

i remember this video as a kid,great song.

[MsZombikilla]

i love tom petty. hes the best

[ilovejeydonwale4eva]

tom petty is great :) happy friday to all the positive minded individuals and to the negative people all i want to say is ,,keep your mouth shut ,noone wants to hear you whine .. :D

[whatahogg]

this dude had a lab way out in the desert . Ahead of his time ..I love the intro . What Kannada ride is that . Looks really fuel efficient .

[DieselProductions11]

Great Song!



[Shaddow1966]

Thumbs up if any geek can recognize the car as being from the TV series Logan's Run

[zillinalovedance]

i dont know when this song was out, and one day not to long ago i heard it just by chance, on some radio station and i really like it.

[TheGroumpfy]

Corey Taylor.

[FooBar777777]

"good love is so hard to find" - that lyric is so true. reminds me of my deceased mother who suffered to the end but managed to love her kids. i'll never know love like that again. that is so true that good love is so hard to find and us kids got lucky.

[ragnarbloodaxe1]

still like this video

[Bruinboi16]

1:13

[WhitePlumeMountain]

41 people don't like cars shaped like space ships.

[emmers57]

Once upon a time there was this thing called MTV, they used to play music videos like this one. then it became some kind of really stupid reality show network.

[electric926]

@emmers57 MTV? You mean RSRSTV, right?

[Evile9669]

@emmers57 yea now its stuiped and isnt worth watching . Mtv was awesome back in the 80s with Martha Quin and company

[Lightatom]

@emmers57 You know when it gets really sad? When Nick (The kids channel) plays more music videos then MTV does..and that channel is for cartoons..not music.

[srwwilson]

@emmers57 just a little more cyber options now!

[blackSmurf1000]

@emmers57 just like cartoon network lol

[chefkenardee]

@emmers57 mtv..wtf guys...why have you forsaken me?????? at least run a new channel as mtv classic... maybe w/ original 80s programming on a loop..i would even pay extra for it as an al a carte choice if it woulld ever come to be. please..bring back martha quinn and nina blackwood, alan hunter.....

[chrishouchins49]

@chefkenardee - Ahhh Martha Quinn- was my all time fav :D

[zamoragera13]

@chrishouchins49 damn i remember ! my fav too!

[wedigclassics]

Look here Tom, just because you SUCK ASS at Astro Invader it doesn't give you the right to vandalize the machine and ruin the fun for everyone else! Plus I had my quarter on top so I could play the next round and because of you, it rolled behind the Slurpee machine. You owe me 25 cents you little shit! Sorry I... I had a little flashback there, I'm better now.

[2150woodsman]

@wedigclassics its all good we understand, it happens to all of us!!! lol

[LadyReginaSmiles]

@wedigclassics this video is post- apocalyptic Notice how he dislikes the TV channel that's broadcasting war. I think he knocks over the Astro Invader because it reminds him of war.

[exclusionjoe]

@wedigclassics shh! shh! shh! just punch the slot machine and it will ok....your comment was the best on youtube i have seen in a long time

[saladitotube]

Makes me wonder where the love you have for someone who doesn't love you anymore goes...good love is defenitely hard to find.

[misombra100]

good love is hard to find you got lucky babe when i found you!

[Zontar82]

41 people weren't so lucky

[HottTexanMommyOf1]

I love this song also... man i miss this music... i dedicate this song to my x's who lost me and who won't ever get me back

[lazypd3]

You got to love that Gretsch 6120 that the guitarist found!

[a456987]

@lazypd3 thats the best part of the whole video

[mpalmernyc]

With all the talk of MTV hitting it's 30th Anniversary, this is the first video I remember watching. It got me hooked.

[NYdrone]

@mpalmernyc Me too! lol.

[mustangmatt63]

Petty has so many Great Tunes its almost impossible to pick a Fave,They R all Good!!

[radge51]

40 people listen to justin beiber!!!!

[GreasyGrumpy13]

@radge51

i disliked it to make your comment no longer valid

[TheJONLAWHASTINGS]

40 people have not experienced being lucky.

[Dewinou]

I got lucky when I discovered my face was not just a face in the crowd. Peace Out

[mrlaxinforlife]

FAKE AND GAY

[xXatreyuXx177]

@mrlaxinforlife rwj quote like it hahah

[shanea840]

This is such an awesome song! And i believe if someone can't see how lucky they're to have me and think they can do better than me than i say bye!

[gijoe989]

tom petty -you got lucky is awesome gijoe 989.

[btden88]

@jcover123 This song is a classic, but music evolves every decade. This probably sounded like shit compared to the prior generation, so get used to it. People always want something new

[KristyMusicLoren]

Too all the loosers I walked away from, I got lucky babe. But remember good love is HARD to find, hahaha

[richardmbowman]

This video is STRANGE. Interesting, but strange! But this song, I like a lot. And I don't like, and never have, liked tom Petty's music (with the possible exception of "Breakdown". This tune has grown on me. And grown. And......

[mightyjoe911]

love it..

[converse7766]

U can still get lucky !!! aint wrinkly stretch marked

[enzytebob]

Have you ever seen that old picture of Billy The Kid? Have you ever noticed that Tom Petty and Billy The Kid are never seen together? Makes you wonder.....

[MRWOLFEMAN29]

I LIKED THAT OLD FASHENED GUITAR WITH THAT WHAMMY BAR

[Will090681]

This video scared me as a kid haha

[DaveWollenberg]

Tom and the Heartbreakers hit #20 in Billboard, 1-29-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[giveittodidak]

What a fucking great song...poetic fucken genius!

[bradtolbert7]

Old music videos rock.

[KurtJParker]

It was so cool back when they made videos like this - not only is the music better than most of today's crap, but the videos were like mini-movies that helped illustrate the songs, not just a bunch of random images flashing around.

[mike65535]

Back from the real days of MTV

[littleboeep]

Deftones best music now

[littleboeep]

FUCKIN EPIC JAM

[WALSTGUY]

BACK WHEN A MUSIC VIDEO WAS A MUSIC VIDEO AND TOLD A STORY...RIP MTV

[acefanaticishot]

LOVE TOM PETTY!!!!!!

[RetroJenny]

We got lucky when Tom Petty was born! I love this song and video. 

[MrWrldpce]

2 Belts-sure why not?

[RetiredYet]

Truth in it's purest form 8)

[Vtron89]

Good love is hard to find

[MRDXKLIQ101]

one of my fav all times from them

[GentlemanHES]

39 people didn't get lucky!!!

[7CannerNebula7]

Lol the video is so cheesy, but the song is SO AMAZING!!!!!

[NormanEdwardVail]

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN AND HIS LOVE IS NOT HARD TO FIND...IT'S HARD TO ACCEPT CAUSE MOST IDIOTS DO NOT WANT TO BELIEVE HE IS THE ONLY WAY.....THE devil IS WORKING VERY IN THE LAST DAYS

[TheJamber09]

Love this song so much! Tom Petty is amazing!

[musiclovers7072]

no, also what bugs me is the whining about your life. tom tells a story, says how it is or how he sees.i want to hear instruments, and how you can make things better not your disfunction that everyone has. HOPEFULLY jams with what was good will come to pass.

[Turtlebabe56]

Tom Petty is God's gift to the world. Music like this just hits a chord that "girl you fine shakin that thing in tha club" just cant.

[captainofpineapples]

@Turtlebabe56 god didnt do jack, it was all Tom 

[mumbat1]

@Turtlebabe56 I have to disagree!!

[BjornKiller]

Dude, those are a couple of sweet rides in that video! If I'm ever in a post-apocalyptic world I'll have the plans for the best ride around from this video.

[Setebos]

@BjornKiller --- also some nice batteries in that portable tape player. And classic videogames that still work. Maybe the post-apocalypse would be a step up from what we got now.

[VEROSEXTASY]

39 people are unlucky

[JayT851]

@VEROSEXTASY Yea Probbaly because they didnt like the video

[deansusky]

I wish that God would not let them get old ,,,when music was good and songs meant something

[NormanEdwardVail]

you should have been in your 20's during the 80's awesome....

[6irondriver]

Petty would have been good as an actor. maybe still could.

[JMHendrix1234]

39 People Didn't Get Lucky

[grogandroppa]

@Anyu7378

ewatch out for this fucktard.

its a secret NAZI pedo that stalks young girls looking for lezzo sex..

rep[ort this filthy rag for the sake of the kids.

[BJSteigner]

In 3:02..what brand of guitar is he playing and holding??

[lambrattle]

@BJSteigner it's a gretsch

[BJSteigner]

@lambrattle Thank you..I wonder if that brand of guitar is still in production? If not, it should be in a museum.

[johnjayden1]

This is one of the first videos I saw on MTV, and one of the best! It's so ironic that this video was from 1982, and the video looks like it's 2011, and they found these relics from way back in 1982! It's so prophetic! JJ!

[cavmanier]

I was barely alive in the 80s but still a fan

[jimreid5]

tom petty has one of the best music videos of all time...with this one.

[badheart42]

@jimreid5 dont come around here video is great too

[GordosMama1111]

@badheart42 which petty song/vid isnt pretty great? hehe

[tetraedronico]

I love the scene around 2:34. "We come in peace"

[stoneman587]

Now this song takes me back. Living in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia.

[kohstamojahn]

0:00 to 1:11 COMPLETELY unnecessary
