Upsiditus. the term UB40 (also the name of a UK band) is a name of an official form in the UK for Unemployment Benefits. ie out of a job and out of luck.
I recognized Leonard Nimoy by his eyes --- not ears --- imediatelly.
Impressive how they let the super-intelligent Vulcan DISLIKE and TURN OFF their music publically --- is explains how stupid tthat girls are, and why the band ended.
Your comment is so exactly well-written and logic, which seems it is commented by Mr. Spock himself!
He directed the 1985 music video for The Bangles' "Going Down to Liverpool". He makes a brief cameo appearance in the video as their driver. This came about because his son Adam Nimoy was a friend of Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs from college. See wikipedia on Leonard_Nimoy
Shame it just missed the Top 40 in Britain. It's such a great song. Would have been lovely to actually see them in front of the Liver Building dancing away!
Yo there is a new youtube star/band comming up I just found with an awesome girl singer that should be mentioned here. This band is going to be huge and they have an awesome video. NO joke just found these guys, totaLly worth checking out if you like pop punk rock music…..
I heard of them through a friend through facebook they are called Hey You! I would search “hey you band taking over” or they are on my page… just thought I’d spread the word.
They were the best all-women band back in the day--that I know about! I think the Go Go's, the first and best all-women band that I knew about, had already broken up! Bobbyk
@kljMN2 She also sang lead on other songs: “Be with you” (Last radio hit by the Bangles although only reached top 30 I believe),… and also early Bangles: “I’m in Line” among others. It was the record label who decided to release mostly Hoffs’ vocals.
Katrina and The Waves wit Kimberley is the best version by far. The Bangles perform well, but this video sucks ass. Dammit Jim, I'm a Science Officer, not a taxi driver.
@MelvinNurblin Totally agree, although I think they're all hot (except Susanna Hoffs, who just THINKS she's hot). And they were 10 times more talented than the Go-Go's.
The Bangles sing like they know what this song is about more than Katrina Leskanich did. An unemployment form is an unemployment form wherever you are(originally posted on a less-viewed site).
This was one of ten "fascinating facts" IMDB posted today to celebrate Leonard Nimoy's 80th birthday "He stepped behind the camera in 1985 to direct a music video for The Bangles - Going Down To Liverpool promo [which] also featured a brief cameo appearance from the actor, whose son Adam went to college with the band's lead singer Susanna Hoffs."
Here's one lucky Vulcan, if he only knew it. I'd attempt some type of meld, mind or otherwise, with a Horta, or perhaps a hooter or two. But then again, Spock has no emotion - poor guy. Kinda like a bunch of girls walking into a gay bar.
I love the Bangles. I don't think this video is unimaginative. The shadows on the ceiling in the tunnel is a great shot. Maybe it is you TheoIsTheGreatest who is unimaginative? You obviously think you are the greatest. Maybe not.....
@gkctex You bet chur arse!! If she doesn't define cute in this video, I don't know what does. She was the quiet & hot Beatle/Bangle. That's not to take away anything from Susannah, of course!
heh heh i love the extra element Nimoy gives as the dissenter about the validity of the song
Impressive how they let the super-intelligent Vulcan DISLIKE and TURN OFF their music publically --- is explains how stupid that girls are, and why the band ended.
A VERY cool and catchy song. This song shows not only the musically interpretive skills of The Bangles but also their stellar voices. Not to mention the fact that they're, well, just beautiful women.
Love this song and love this video. ...it may not be the most exciting video but it captures some beautiful pictures of the Bangles...simple and sweet.
@PokerPlum Hah! It might be... since the drive is on the right side and the tunnel looks rather more like the Detroit-Windsor (Windsor is a city in Ontario in the mythical country in fancy called 'Canada') Tunnel than either the Queensway or the Kindgway Tunnels...
Was this from 1984? My sister got The Bangles' "All Over the Place" cassette tape some years after it originally came out, probably in the late 80s; I haven't heard this for years but I love it!
@InvalidUsername1323 These gals are about my age. I must say when they were on MTV in the '80s I only had tunnel vision for Susanna. And, yes, life seems to have treated her very nicely. I like reading the comments how a lot have the hots for Michael. And when I review the situation over 20 some years later I tend to agree.
Nice tune and funny video. Too "emotional" for Spock? !! A few poses of Albert Dock or Penny Lane would have enhanced it! Anyone know WHEN Bangles did this?
Nice tune and funny video. Too "emotional" for Spock? !! A few poses of Albert Dock or Penny Lane would have enhanced it! Anyone know WHEN they Bangles did this?
i think the waves version was better, interesting that both bands had to play down the guitars to get a hit the bangles with the atrocious manic monday and the waves with that horrible remake of walking on sunshine. sineaid o connor also could only have a hit with the nauseating nothing compares to u. compare that to her ultra kool Mandinka with that unforgettable guitar riff. America is a really fucked up country. divinyls also made it with a shitty song.
@hellonyhello I suppose if the Divinyls also made it a shitty song then Australia must also be a "reallt fucked up country"... The US and Australia... if I didn't know better, I'd say SOMEONE was quite upset that both of those countries have warm weather and palm trees, but I'm SURE you mean "deep down, they are awful places"
I actually made an overnight trip to Liverpool during my visit to England thanks to this song. I had it running through my head for the better part of a year (loved this album) and just on a whim headed up there. A little down on its heels at the time, but I still had a fun little trip.
The boredom of being unemployed in the 80s; the song catches it and the video really shows the ennui back then, all dressed up and bored and no money to do anything with or going anywhere. Loved it.
ok Kimberley from Katrina and the waves wrote this song, suffering from writers block she upped sticks and headed to Liverpool to to "do nothing". this allowed her to clear her head as she said....
@crashsite000 For some great power pop check out Kimberley Rew's "Bible of Bop" EP which he did pre- Katrina and the Waves, some great stuff on there too.
Debbie, Vicki, & Susanna look like a bunch of vampires after Nimoy in this vid. Michael looks, well, a little shy and embarrassed. I like shy and embarrassed.
@LTF6161 Ah I see. So they're talking about unemployment back in the 80's then and the boredom involved. I don't remember people or Liverpool being that way as was only a kid then.
Well, the Bangles didn't write the song. I think a Brit w/ Katrina & the Waves did. I think the Bangles were just looking to play a cool tune. I was in Northern & Central England for two weeks in 1987 and had a blast pub crawling. I certainly wasn't bored.
@LTF6161 Ha ha bet you had a laugh! That makes sense now that a Brit wrote it as was wondering how they'd be aware of UB40's. Like UB40 the group too.
This is my favorite Bangles song but I hate this video. Debbie sings lead on this but the camera is constantly on Susannah's face doing back up vocals. It's so annoying. Poor Debbie is placed behind Susannah in the car so that her face is behind Susannah's shoulder and when she's singing the verse, Susannah's face is in front doing back-up. Honestly, why even have the other girls in the video? Just have Susannah alone in the car so the entire clip is a close up of her. LOL
