Eleven days for the Forty Year (Wednesday, 13 October 1971 - Thursday, 13 October 2011) wait to end - I was Six Years Old when it began and now I am Forty-Six Years Old.

And Twelve days for the dream and goal to expire.

[11bumbu]

Thankyou!!!!!!!

[tallulah1961]

what month and day in 1979? i was a year and a half -2 years old in 1979

[thegreenhornet95]

@tallulah1961 I am 4 years older than you since I was 6 and in kindergarten when this song came out. Aahhh, the memories. They just don't make music like this anymore. You and I were very fortunate to have been born in an era of decent music that's hard to comeby these days.

[Flippersrant]

I LOVE this.Simple.Joyous.Thank you

[merlin186]

me too



[klasomentas]

How come Helga was pretty at 1:16??

[evporretta]

Love this feel good song.

[buffalohawk65]

aaaaaaaah, still hits me right here! I was 14 when it came out

[bucky468]

Hard to find this album. The original song is not at iTunes. Hard to find the right compilation w/the full album version of this song. Will have to buy it vinyl I guess.

Any suggestions?

[Bobafett327]

@bucky468 There is a CD that exist of the full version of Love Takes Time. Also there are two versions of Love Takes Time. The radio edit and the full version. The full version on the CD is called Dance With Me - The Best Of Orleans, found on Amazon.com I did go to iTunes first and I was disappointed that they don't have any version of this great song.

[bucky468]

@Bobafett327 I read a review of the "Dance With Me" album and it wasn't good. It said it sounded like Orleans recorded it out of their basement. The review said the recordings sound awful. I don't know how much truth there is to that.

[elpequeniocuerno]

@bucky468IIN PARADISE.....

[shmuli9]

This was a cool song. But I don't think I ever saw it on "Hey Arnold", a program I've seen a whole two times...

[jrb664]

@jason 3586-"What happens when you grow up? Your heart dies"-Ally Sheedy in the Breakfast Club. You 're right-being an adult really can suck.

[Alikah1]

@jrb664 Yeah. If I did the same things now that I did when I was a kid, I'd get twenty years years and then have to register as a sex offender!

[airforcemax]

Long lasting love takes times because everyone has habits that are acceptable to irritating which leads to complaining or nagging. I messed up because she and got married for the wrong reasons and predicted the divorce knowing her name with the high school she would graduate all in Spring 1980, when I was trying to impress a girl who had no intent on being a true friend. I was an absent husband,spent too much time with my friend instead of her,lived with my family,and owed too much money.

[danewson]

Not a bad choice of video to put with this song. It all reminds me of this chick I have a secret crush on but I love treating her like crap because i like her...if that makes sense.

[TPoPArt]

Loved the shooting star!

[baronvanhaughten]

love the song. 

[ttomtexastyler]

yeah fuck i love this song, sing it the way we remember you fuckin sang it , fucking A man.

[iamthenakedape]

brings back good memories, great catchy melody

[blairzel]

Folks in Westchester County New York will know that the founder John Hall is their congressman.

[truepowerbombking]

good song

[oscar814]

This is REAL music.1979 was my favorite year.

[dxsmackdown8]

orleans BEST song by far- innovative, superior instumentals & good vocals. this song RULES !

[AvatarZim]

what episode is 2:25?

[Bobafett327]

The episode is "Best Man". I love that scene when Helga says I do to Arnold in her daydream and Arnold doesn't know what's going on near the end of the episode.

[airforcemax]

@Bobafett327 Sometimes people do change Yes even animated characters too.

[kiwidave218]

Man, I'd forgotten what a killer tune this was - haven't heard it for years. A+

[blairzel]

the lead singer John Hall is now a congressman in northern Westchester County in New York

[primogennaio]

Good song but I can't remember the last time it was on the radio.

[renecrod3]

I was 17 years old in 1979 and a Junior in High School. I miss those days and thank God I grew up in the 70,s . We had the best music, Cartoons, and Television Shows.

[tengordon1942]

i heard this song other day on oldy station ,,, god i went back to being 9 in my dads caddie lol lol loved it

[JPMcFly1985]

I'm a huge 80s fan and just heard this for the first time a couple years ago (I'm 28). I think it's even BETTER than "Still the One".

I know it's '79 but it sounds ahead of its time to me.

[SasukeY2JItachi]

Why does it seem like helga was the man in the relationship?XD

[tarheelredbone43]

class of 1982 here. i keep telling my kids that we grew up in the BEST possible times. the music was so good. i would give anything to go back

[78720]

o man i miss this show so bad :(

[giaisbomb]

I think this is just me all-time favorite song. Ever since I bought the 45 in 1979 til now !!

[dxsmackdown8]

i LOVE this song ! dont know anything about the cartoon though

[Izzz117]

Why do you complain all about being adult and missing those times?

Maybe life isn't exactly the same on its own, but you still got the choice, I mean it's still up to you to make it fun and nice!

You still got your hands and your heart.

The possibilities are endless.

[castertunes1967]

okay, i'm in a time warp but i am lovin' it, no bills, no worries, just me and the transistor radio and this song blaring...1979 was awesome: blondie, cheap trick, the knack, this song, nick lowe, good times

[w1av]

I gotta agree.....1979 was great for me too...I was 21 and havin' so much fun at the beach and the beer, the girls, the weed, hahaha!!!! Things were much simpler...no computers, no internet...you had to make your own fun....I was class of 1976....

[bearnurse1]

Class of '79

[chngreactn]

memories of being young..

[omslivie]

THAT WAS CUTE...

[Jander4031]

These Orleans songs remind of shopping for first used car ('67 Impala and '69 GTO). Good memories.... Thks.

[modefan63]

my favorite orleans song too. heard it a couple of yeARS ON JILLFM/ THOUND OKS hadent heard it in 30 years. thanks for playing the orignal.

[mattanddi62]

one of my all time faves. Takes me back to a great time!!! Love the last 1:20

[reprobacious]

I'll always remember this song as being the one playing on the old Musicradio-77 WABC in NYC when they cut in 30 years ago to announce the tragic death of Thurman Munson. I've long since fled the northeast and graduated into a fierce Yankee hater but I'll never forget that sad day.

[rmr2001]

Touching comment. I remember hearing about Munson's death on the evening news.

[truepowerbombking]

awesome song

[njmhk]

Doesn't get better than this..what a great song and arrangement!

[jason3586]

One of the great songs from the 70's.Gee i hate being an adult.

[spm62]

I hear ya jason 3586. What I wouldn`t give to be a 70`s teenager again. Loving life without a care in the world before the world got complicated. Man, i miss the

70`s..great music, great clothes,great times. The summers sure seemed longer then. I miss the 70`s, my old friends,and the good times we used to have. What I wouldn`t give to relive it one more time.

[sweetjackietee]

Wow! You and I think alike. What a great time to grow up. I loved my teenage years.

[MeanSOB1]

@jason3586 I agree with both of your statements dude.

[antidiz]

@jason3586 I'm with ya there bro...

[marcostar57]

This is probably my favorite Orleans song..thanks! Great memories of 1979!

[airforcemax]

[mcflybabe246]

Wow I love this! It's awesome!!

[horseangels]

[TheAirhostess]

[RomneyGack]

I was 11 when this came out- back when songs weren't all dreary like they are now!

[blackforest270]

My-T-Fine 79........Me two.

[lauraken]

I have always loved this so sooo much! :)

[bearnurse1]

Gosh, this takes me right back to being a senior in high school class of 1979

[lefthandedgenious]

The singer is now a senator,I believe.

[dude71761]

Larry Hoppen was lead vocalist on this song -- you are thinking of John Hall - he was out of the band when this album came out

[jfppjfpp]

Thanks for posting this, after hearing it, I had to buy it, thanks so much!

[meyc534]

Nice to see the original version back up!One of my favorites from 79

[elpilotoazul]

I never heard of Hey Arnold!, but I do like this song. Thank you for the posting.

[M1903A1]

Hooray, the original version of this song's back!

I remember a former DJ commenting how this intro was so long you could read the weather over it...and yet nobody wanted to!

[snowluvr84]

Great song, thanks for posting!
