Get up and Go

[APRIL62318]

belinda doesn't like this video but i think its cute!

[geczel]

she looks like Erika Elinak... whatever her name is...

[johnandelizabth]

Belinda, YUM! thats all I can say!

[WilliamLaSalle]

Beautiful.

[68Wildhorse]

does anyone else find Belinda rediculously sexy in a sweatshirt and capri pants? she was totally gorgeous back then. i always thaught she had that cool chick that lives across the street look. i wished she lived across the street.

[Dietpepsivanilla]

They owned So. Cal in 1981-82. I loved them.

[behappy3373]

It is funny when you go driving your car with this music on to see the younger people faces and asking themselves " What the heck is he listening to"? I love the 80s and the Go-Go's!!!!

[tecnoborg75]

soccer mom fashion

[oceanangel101]

WHAT are they wearing?! IT LOOKS TERRIBLE! those striped pants? I have now been scarred for life.

[capebee]

The Go Go's were such cute punks.

[darrinbaker00]

Was Jane rockin' the chick mullet, or was Jane rockin' the chick mullet?

[Infidelerious]

Gee, you got a pretty mouth.

[lasvegasjh]

I love cheese and I love the GoGo's more!!!

It's so classic how can you not love this?

[retrorocker]

In her autobiography, Belinda said she didn't like how she looked in the video. She's giving herself incredibly short shrift...I thought she looked great in the video. I like the claymation also.

[APRIL62318]

@retrorocker i know she isd way to hard on herself she was never fat ! The press are the ones that convinced her of that

[djdavemick]

These girls were (and still are) a scream.

[Nattacus]

Dat sweater

[wonderberrycindie]

i always cut my sweatshirts at the top to hang off my shoulder... now i look at the video and think, "really? you couldn't dress better than your PJs?" but i still adore the Go-Go's!!!

[spy1853]

milio--n slot！！

[33chiliken]

I saw this once in the 80s on HBO Jukebox, I think. I remember I really liked it. Thanks for the post.

[vspady]

it's ok to like upbeat pop. it's ok to tap your toes to fun, goofy tunes. too bad everybody feels like they have to be cynical and dark to be cool. enthusiasm and joy are pretty cool, too. the go-gos didn't try to change the world, but they made some good, fun new hear now.

[Filmation77]

i don't give a damn when B. carlilsle was

chubby she was HOT!!!!

[Goofus5453]

You got that right!!!!

[Skulldini]

I'm reluctant to say that I'm a Go Go's FAN , because they did have some songs that I don't care for,.. but I DO like THIS particular song alot.

This one was not such a big " hit " either ( like ohh,.. Vacation, We Got The Beat and Our Lips Are Sealed were ). Goes to show that sometimes a groupes best songs can be their less popular and more obscure ones.

[hfxmusicman]

I have loved The Go'Go's since the album Beauty And The Beat came out. I have never seen this video until today so thanks for posting it :) 80's music FOREVER!!!!!!!

[jamesdeignan]

Jane look's sooooo 80's hot in this video! To be in my teens again...

[Knocking4agoodtime]

This is my favorite Go Gos song!

[robynsegg]

Yes, it's cheesy, but I always loved this video! Straight outta Pee Wee's Playhouse. So 80's & yet so uber vintage! Thanks!

[Skulldini]

Oh, FUCK  "cheesy " !! I actually LIKE the out-dated claymation here ( which I assume is what your refering to, right ? ). Hell, I was even expecting ole Gumby and Pokey to make an apearance !!

[AnacondaTwelve]

This was one of my favorite Go-Go's songs back in the day. I never saw this video though until now.

Charlotte was my favorite Go-Go. OK. There. I said it.

[Jackenator1]

Loved this tune from the moment the album (that's right, ALBUM) was released and don't know how many times I've listened to it, but never saw the vid until now. Jane is just the cutest little hottie ever in my book! Come to me baby, I will love you, take you to my country of origin, buy you Levi's jeans...Oh yeah!

[Boodwin]

I was always a Jane man, but I like chubby Belinda way better than the scrawny one. She was cute!

[Gerkinstock]

Jane and Charlotte have great legs.

[Skulldini]

@Boodwin Well, I'll take her either way, .. chubby or slim, where THAT matters concerned! However, it wasn't the "scrawniness" that botherd me, .. it was the awful cum-sucking MUSIC that she got involved with after leaving the group !

[Mattleycrue66]

Great post! I have loved the Go Go's from the very beginning and will forever!

[mik3sss]

This is sooo 80's

^^

=D

I LOVE IT!

[robynsegg]

@mik3sss: Who doesn't MISS the 80's? Awesome! Totally awesome!

[atlcowboy2536]

If you like The Go Gos check out a band called Baby Shakes.

[cyberzonie]

Jane is hot!

[DCWhatthe]

You're right, they can't be replaced. There were copies out there, but the Go-gos were

unique. It was great to see Belinda go solo, and also grow up. Some people

get better as they get older, and BC is one of them.

[dougalina123]

I saw them recently at 4th and B in San Diego...GREAT CONCERT!!! And of course, Belinda was barefoot...they are so much fun!

Love 'em...

[riacirca84]

is it me or does the intro sound like .. can't stop by the red hot chili peppers... guitar wise..?? ahahhah ;P

[Sabored]

a bit, its just a intro though

[kookooboy]

The video for this and Head Over Heels are similar--they look like they were filmed on the same day or something--I love them both! Belinda is so cute here in a way that she never was after she thinned down and got "sleek"

[hotdave86000]

COOL

[SueSnell]

I had those exact gray and white striped petal pushers. Love them. Loved the Go-Go's

[nextbarker]

What year is this song, 1983?

[tomcatfranks]

September 10, 1982

[JIMI4REAL]

loved this song when it was released as the follow-up to "Vacation" but too bad it stalled at #50 on the Billboard charts. always thought it should have reached the Top 10.

[derkommissar3]

I'd like to add to my previous comment........They, to this day, are STILL Gorgeous!

[Waistgunner39]

I agree...Who ??? repeat, who?? wasn't in love with these girls back then (and still today for that matter!!). Everyone I knew in high school had the hots-to put it VERY mildly- for the Go-Go's, the Bangles, Girlschool and most especially, Vixen. They will always make me feel young (again)!!!

[derkommissar3]

God they were GORGEOUS!

[No1ZmeskalFan]

I used to LOVE this song. i think it was my first favorite video ever. I still have a tape of them performing on Solid gold and American Bandstand

[lifegardgrll]

great vintage stuff

[HDangerism]

I remember when this video DEBUTED on HBO's "video jukebox"!!!

Nip slip at 3:18

[JScott1266]

the valley girls had to go nuts over this song, like totally

[showmequeer]

Miss Gina Schock, she really rocks...I love Babe with the short hair before her solo "makeover", for lack of a better term...

[khisham]

...great video from a great band of gorgeous musicians who sang exceptionally well...

[kidcharlemagne76]

Well done video. Four years later Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer video would be considered groundbreaking. Much of the tricks in that video were already done here.

[hawkletnation]

Where did Vacation chart #1? Certainly not on the US pop charts. Peaked in the top 10....

[hilljayne]

According to some chart magazines at the time Vacation charted higher than the #8 position Billboard reported. I think it got to #2 according to Cashbox. Back then there were lots of chart reports besides Billboard.

[prestonite]

Vacation peaked at number 8

We Got the beat peaked at number 2

Head over heels peaked at number 11

Our lips are sealed peaked at number 20

Turn to you peaked at number 32

Get up and go peaked number 50

Yes or no peaked number 84

Great drums from the First Lady of Percussion - Gina Shock

[punkrockrebelboi]

1st lady of percussion was Sandy West of the Runaways, THEN came Gina Shock.

[Yesimustbecrazy2]

Don't forget Honey Lantree from the British 1960's rock band, the Honeycomb (sort of named after her). Lantree has all the women drummers beat (pardon the pun) since she was charting as a drummer of a rock group at least 13 years before the other women did. There was also a woman drummer in the 1960's American rock (proto-punk) group named the Vejitables.

[punkrockrebelboi]

actually Sandy West drummer of The Runaways starting in 1975 w/ Joan JEtt and Lita Ford, is the first lady of Percussion. the runaways inspired other all girl groups such as the gogo's and the bangles (Mickey Steele being the original bassist for the Runaways ended up in the Bangles) Chrissie Hynde and others. But Gina Shock IS an AMAZING drummer, never skips a beat! She Rocks!

[jonbecker03]

gina SCHOCK, actually................

[ManilaSyndicate]

Nice video and one of the group's more compelling songs.

Thanks for uploading this onealchris, but could you fix the volume? It's really weak.

[MissLeigh78]

Actually, I Want Candy was written WAY before. You're probably only familiar with Bow Wow Wow's version of the song. It was originally cut by the Strangeloves, and was a hit in 1965.

[pvtchef66]

I smell some "copying" from I Want Candy in the beginning of this song......

[seacuc]

Great drums & bass. One of their best.

[hawkletnation]

This is a great song from a great band. So it's not their fault...that this may be one of the worst videos ever...they did as much as they could with what they were given....no wonder this song didnt chart well back when MTV drove the charts as much as the actual song content...oh well...

[RitzyTrailer]

Oh, please. as IF you were there to make such an assessment! It charted at 50 in October of '82, which wasn't bad - considering it followed after Vacation which was a #1 hit. The video was awesome for it's time, even though by todays standards it's boring to you emo whiners - it was fresh and unusual when MTV was still the hottest thing on TV. Yeah, yeah, bad clay-mation. Get over it. For the time it was ballistic!

[Acksel92]

Yeah Right on Ritzy Trailer

But I still think the video is good even for todayz standards and Hey I waz born in 1992

[scordera]

Gina is an AWESOME Drummer!!!

[buggoff]

Where's Gumby? ;0)

[Auggie56]

Hey they did have so much good musice didn't they.

[razrramone]

Belinda 'Flashdance' Carlisle pt.1 (pt.2 Head over heels) .. hahaha ! This was my favorite song from the album I cant say much for the video tho ..thought it would be better ..such is life tho haha !

[traviedawg]

Jesus Christ!!! I hadn't seen this video in over 24 years!!!  WOW!!! Thanx:-)

[bobair]

Such a neat video,Thank-you Go Goes.To cute for words.

[JellicleKat]

I use to come home from school and turn on Nickelodeon and sometimes they'd show videos and this was one of them. I always thought it was soooo cool and it's go good to see it again.

[kev67918]

I love this song, I don't care how cheesy the video is, it's still fun to watch.

[pyzimber]

awesome video

[johndhackensacker]

OMG... I've been wanting to see this again for like 20 years. WOW -- go go, clay Go-Go's!!

[beautyandthebeat]

YES!! i love it!!

[jaredbradford]

haha this is cool

[randymaddox]

I was waiting for this. It's so fun.
