[YellowHand2003]

Only Chrissie could wear a hat like that!

[pamelyna1]

Does anybody know what the protester's were on about!?! What's N.L.P. and B.T.A.?

[Lokassochannel]

Is there ANY pop tune more catchy than this???

[ledzepp697]

Chrissy Hynde always was the Best female singer in Rock! YEA BABY!!!

[1blastman]

Lipsynch, but I still love this band.

[27Pyth]

When you are a pair of tight leather pants it doesn't get better than this.

[ltoz77]

[IlluminatReptilian]

Not only is she a good singer, she could also play the guitar pretty good. You just don't see that kind of talent today.

[0458FEO]

chrissie is the tops in pure talent,with vocals and lyrics,guitar and sexy lady.the whole original band,r.i.p. to the great members that we lost,and thnx for giving us this great music.peace.

[15bluethings]

Chrissie just rocks.  There is no one like her. Madonna pales in comparison.

[charly9927]

[MobyGoCollection]

@0:31 I'm standing in the middle of life with my pants behind me

[LostFREEDOM]

[tinyvox]

is that guy in the crowd at 2:44 really holding up a sign saying he's against neuro-linguistic programming ?!

[pamelyna1]

@tinyvox That was the only reference I could find, too...and there's another sign saying "Stop B.T.A."...WTF!?!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the great Chrissie Hynde.

[BLKCATT8]

@BeefyRalph chrissy rocksssssss

[chubby41]

What's not to like? Brilliant bit of proper RnB

[bogeybast]

Even though this is a cheesy lip sych charade, I love it! Thank you for sharing it. It's like going back in time 25 years.

[1BLKnUSA]

this was/is my jam!!!

[northahead1]

INOLVIDABLE ...!!

[seanyogalegs]

Chorus chanting sounds exactly like Tom Petty's "Last Dance with Mary Jane" main riff. Also identical to "Fell in love with a Girl" by the White Stripes

[RetroJenny]

Chrissy knows how to rock! Great tune. 

[cstory72]

I sometimes concider Chrissie Hynde a female knock off of Tom Petty. I mean this song could have been cover by the old geezer himself it still would sound almost like the pretenders LMAO

[georginaelizondo]

She looks like my dear cousin Ari, and her voice is WOW!

[MrSurelysure]

overwhelming riff. period. kids in poland were brought up on it as well. at least me :)

[DaveWollenberg]

Chrissie Hynde and the boys hit #19 in Billboard, 2-11-84. Didn't think Chrissie needed to put some random harmonica on it. God bless ya, for postin' it.. Thanx! Have a great week!

[astromario1055]

one of the great rock songs of the vintage mtv era...dig it!



[makelan4]

nice guitar riff in the background :)

[RobW581]

I love the music from this era,it brings back fond memories from Mrs Thatcher's era,the best Prime Minister that I have ever seen in my 38 years.

[Varianna12]

Getting up there in years a little, she. And Old Mick Jagger is 70--will need to be wheeled out soon.

[spiritualitydaily]

@Varianna12 If you live long enough, you'll grow old too. That tends to happen to everybody. Damn telomeres. I'm 45 years young and plan to stay that way in spirit no matter how long I may live. :)

[Demetranyc]

What is wrong with the world that this video only has 44,000 views

[kungpowicide]

Fuckin A !!!!!!! one of my most favorite songs of all time. i sing this to myself all the time....badass tune from a badass rock band.

[tammylee8871]

i think 2 many badass groups like this one didnt get the attention they deserve & still dont, their music 2 me is timeless. long live the 80s! tammylee8871[80s fanatic&a bit of a 80s freak!]

[Linsgroove]

Crank it up, if you can take it! One of the groups that make the 80's worth remembering..

[DJRanthom]

Isso sim é 80, cada um dançava do jeito que queria !!!

[BountyHunter762]

she looks like 99 from agent 86 old tv series :)

[theMasterChiefRules]

@BountyHunter762 Get Smart

[IDV82atl]

@BountyHunter762 OMG, I've never realized that before but Chrissie Hynde does look like Agent 99 a.k.a Barbara Feldon.

[LtGiant]

@BountyHunter762 Get Smart!!!

[lhcarter]

Complete with disco ball and "white people dancing", also check the vocal/harmonica mix at 3:21, it's awesome!

[skipper8257]

One of the greatest rock songs ever with the Queen of Rock Chrissie Hynde. So freaking sexy.

[beerjitsu]

This song belongs on the list of "most perfect pop songs ever made". And, with the possible exception of Stevie Nicks, Chrissie might have the sexiest singing voice of any woman ever!

[clfetter]

chrissie sex girl...but.......

[patrik702]

All hail Chrissie!!! Reporting from a corrugated tin shack in the bloody third world.

[mapple432]

"As long as you don't try dragging my bay or dropping the bomb on my street"...Ah yes Chrissie was always the environmentalist/pacifist. Love this woman!

[serpentsally]

How come people don't dance like this anymore? love this song!

[Brickcellent]

Glory Daze? Anyone? FOREVER ALONE.

[coswosk]

Puro anos 80!

The Pretenders.

Grande Som.

[trotp3]

Back then if you danced like a spastic white boy, it was all good.

[riesencub]

This axe solo is still one of the best, most heartfelt I've ever heard. Robbie McIntosh was the shit.

[AntK1968]

1 dislike = 1 guy that was standing in the middle of the road when he got run over by the awesomeness that is The Pretenders.

[LoveforGia]

Queen of cool

[VagabundoR6]

I wasn't around back then, but i wish i could, what a great Era!

Long Live The 80's!

[emelecista70]

the I.R.A  in that show

[emelecista70]

[harponercam]

"fat guys driving Nam"

[Missmayjean]

This song seriously still rocks......

[henca7]

[oldredun]

talented, sexy, cool, torn apart by personal tragedy and still kicking arse . . . the woman has it all !!!

[discobaby795]

WooooW! Rooooock the house down!

[TheHewson2121]

awesome krisi, tambien hace coros en "pride" de U2

[Princeboy99]

Just listening to the opening of this songs proves that fact that NO song out now, rap, hip hop, rock, hipster, whatever the hell genre you wanna talk about is not even as close to as BADASS as this song is. Love the Pretenders

[kja427]

If she was 33 when this song was first performed, then she was born in 1951.WOW! I wonder if she has to change the lyrics these days, because that baby would be out of the house now. You think?

[elrushbo1004]

@kja427 Its a rough economy

[Frizzo2000]

@kja427 As hard as it is for me to believe myself, She will be SIXTY YEARS OLD in Septmeber of this year!

I'm amazed she actually gave her actual age at the time of this most awesome video's production. (From the early days of VH1 and MTV, I remember when this video first came out!)

[groverjuicy]

Just saw the Pretenders last week, O my god they kicked arse! Getting better with age definitely...

[JEIWILBER]

Incredblo song ! ! !

[VictorP15]

My parte favorita: 2:30 One, two, three, four, five, six....

[hairycub69]

"I'll got a smile for everyone I meet....as long as you don't plan on dropping a bomb on my street..."

"When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world - the (hungry) babies come as a part of the scenery" - LIVE AID 1985

[alexdababar]
