Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities

[aramanth]

Poor Chris, back in the first few videos he had nothing to do but skulk in the background and pout. By the time the second album came and afterward he started getting better video roles. Prison guard, chauffeur, DJ, judge, airport security guard etc. All Neil had to do was look imperious and sing! LOL

This song really is the anthem of the gimme me-me era of the 80s.

[glamshiitglitter]

i dig it.

[mysterworld]

hey !! BOBBY O IS BACK !

[MrOmeMan]

[WeepingGuitar99]

[p0sn]

The smart one is standing in a 3' 6" hole in front of a car in the middle of the room?

[birukethio]

Hi! Have you tried bee4biz (search on google)? its link locker that pays each time somebody completes your survey and unlocks your protected url. A mate of mine makes tons money with them just asking everyone to do surveys.

[desverguenzajena]

[Falonefal]

Let’s make lots of money

You’ve got the brawn, I’ve got the brains

Let’s make lots of money

[tweeber69]

I didn't know Pet Shop Boys made so much damn good music. I always wondered who made most of the songs they sing, I know now. All I knew was "West End Girls".

[MrFLiDAY]

Mean!

[tabutu1]

FUCK VEVO THE FUCKING SLIMY MOTHERFUCKERS

[rrbrown813]

Man, I love(d) and miss the damn '80's. But, thanks to YouTube, iTunes, iPods, etc... we can relive them anytime we want. Thank God, literally, for technology.

[LOOTERKING2001]

if he has actuly got the brains why is he standing in an deep hole in the middle of an car park?

[djstevieg06]

Glad you folk made it here. Prooves they dont make music anymore.

[MicaFeresz]

@djstevieg06

there will be new album in 2012

form their website

[DMIKL57]

I find out this music thanks to the Simpsons lol (season 19 : Husbands and knifes).

[Jester2K5]

@DMIKL57 me too! haha, Simpsons yeah!

[MrAKuDi]

Let's make lots on MONEH!

[morganhodder]

why is he standing that hole?

[Retro80Lady30]

@morganhodder He is satan coming out of hell to offer money for your soul.

[catolog96]

Let's make lots of money!

[timbearcub]

I can see why this wasn't more of a hit...just imagine in most households the conversation.

'Why is there an Amish preacher with a sub-American Werewolf mouth in a hole in front of a Cadillac? EH?'

Also 2:45 Neil looks utterly pissed off with the video!

[TheBlackJack021]

This song should have more views

[AmbassadorJediSpock]

I always thought that was the point... he thinks he's got the brains, but he doesn't. He might as well be in a hole with a car right behinde him... or something like that

[Anthonyk312]

Honey why is there an amish in a hole in front of a car outside?

[rinda7]

so cooooooooool! I love it so so so much!

[EJFSanchez2]

I wish I had a 1979 Cadillac Brougham Limo like that. Too bad they are hard to find in good condition.

[Smallville357]

neil tennant is so cool...one of the all time awesomest people and possibly the awesomest homo!

[AHafan2]

Great bloody song... and Chris is hot as leather-jacketed hell :)

[waserocketman]

Wait, is that the video I wanted to see behing all the CRAP YouTube puts all over the screen??!! UGH!

[JammerJammer2009]

Заезженная тема....

[riobabilonia]

The song criticized the capitalist way of life, its a classic anthem against this way of life. But then you end up watching it here in VEVO, its embarrassing, I feel like a cheater.....

[MicaFeresz]

@riobabilonia

what vevo really is?

i watch youtube but don't know what it is and why people hate vevo much

[MicaFeresz]

@riobabilonia

and in thailand,i can watch vevo videos without commercial

[riobabilonia]

@MicaFeresz VEVO is a big cooperation which buys copyrights to control Youtube songs and users. So if you upload videos from your PC, they will force Youtube to delete them cause they are the rich company controlling these songs rights. Its basic against the freedom Youtube were supposed to offer when it was created. First they start buying copyrights, then they force you to watch adds, and they might even charge you for watching videos in the future. Lucky you if you don´t see the adds..

[electrictroy2010]

@riobabilonia Youtube was NEVER about stealing other people's songs. You don't have a right to use the music that is owned by the artists. The Right to copy those songs belongs to THEM, not you

.

[DylanNes]

@electrictroy2010 We don't take kindly to moralfags around here...

[GamerOldSkool]

@riobabilonia No your wrong ,thats so not true , Youtube eventually deletes those video posts, because of the actual policies of the record companies or Artist who have ownership of their Masters..They initially own the rights to these songs , VEVO do not own that they are legally by law can play and air the videos that the record companies allow them to play. Vevo has a joint venture with the majority music corporations. So your statement does not hold any merit..

[theallseeingoracle]

@riobabilonia This isn't VEVO, it's emimusic, the company that has the rights to it.

[swissfocus73]

Great Song! Love the 80's Sound!!!!

[skorchedutopia]

Just esoteric enough to stump the masses.

[TonyBranston]

So who's on drugs? Them or the target audience?

[elegantrunner]

HNNNNNG Chris *.*

[MADDOG6400]

Why would a young person want a Cadillac?

[Jonstradomas]

@MADDOG6400

why wouldn't a young person want a cadillac?

[LOOTERKING2001]

when he dies he looks like voldomort!

[red03mitsu]

10 people wouldnt know good music if it bit them in the butt

[LOOTERKING2001]

he hasent got a brain

[LOOTERKING2001]

geeky

[elserso1]

great video

[SuperNovaTr0n]

If Harry Potter decided to become a pop star, he would be this guy

[DaveWollenberg]

the PSBs hit #10 in Billboard, 8-2-86. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[jdcl06]

0:57 in - all he's missing now, is a Star of David...

[harr77]

fuck youtube for taking down the original U.K version and all it's cheesy eighties glory :(

[Christiantwk]

Did the guy always have his belt undone? Or only at the end?

[angrysteve19]

what movie did they make this for... Or did they make this for a movie?

[harr77]

@angrysteve19 This song was featured and the theme for the tv movie Billionaire Boys Club.

[LittleEmoDancer]

At 1:07 you can see where Jay-Z stole the "brush you shoulders off" move from.

[CarlVonNirgendwo]

This video and song are so random xD I love it!

[DelicatelyDestroyed]

love this song!

[jctaxman]

@game4war You need to get your timeframes figured out. Since "Opportunities" by the Pet Shop Boys came out in 1985, six years before EMF's "Lies" don't you mean part of EMF's "Lies" sounds like "Opportunities" by the Pet Shop Boys? Hmmm?

[GAME4WAR]

hmmmm some parts sound alike like EMF's " Lies" anyone ever notice that?

[buhoglive]

this is real talent. You just can't find this kind of talent anymore so sad. Thank God i can still watch the old amazing videos

[aimalysev3]

Psych brought me here, not Beauty and the Geek. :P

[Darazz]

wow, glorious 80s

[schu740guy]

@wiseorwiseazz lmfao

[preachermuaddib]

@wiseorwiseazz Love this song but damn good point dude :-)

[emaxxx4]

@wiseorwiseazz I love the song, but your comment just killed it. LOL Your screenname is fitting too :)

[Hppyhppy2]

@wiseorwiseazz smart people do weired stuff.

[Hppyhppy2]

Also they probably stood in the service hole because they couldn't get a better set, its pretty easy to get a fog machine and headlights of a car to operate at ground level. It shows ingenuity.

[VERGIS92]

@wiseorwiseazz He is wearing a Jewish hat, he definitely knows how to make money

[nadaoferie]

@wiseorwiseazz Ha Ha Ha That is hilarious!!

[Roxxy381]

Hmm PSB...I think a pallbearer would...unless cremated :)

[lockepsb]

10 people should die a horrible death...

[GovindaJai1]

This song is featured in

"I Fysche

II Fysche

Raw Fysche

Gold Fysche"

She will be interviewed on SpirituallyRawDOTCOM on Tuesday June 14 10amEST

Thank you Pet Shop Boys for being so inspirational !!!!!!!!!!

[christlicker]

@GovindaJai1 And also so RAW! :)

[elvistheeldorado]

of course, i like the cadillac!

[AshBlast333]

He looks kind of Amish, just saying

[Petshopgirl67]

One of my fav songs by my fav group

[TheNEXTMUSICTREND]

10 people didn't make lots of money

[samthor]

this song is great for motivation.

[Nightchefable]

Gay or Straight, Democrat or Republican, Catholic or Protestant... what difference does it make? It's the music that matters, folks!

[Winchesterboy100]

It's not about being Straight or Gay. It's about the music and the talent...Pet Shop Boys...thanks for all the "Opportunities" to here great music...(by the way..I'm Gay.)

[wilmancamacho]

Nine people has not had opportunities

[MrHandsonpaper]

‎"All the love that we had/ And the love that we hide/ Who will bury us

when we die?"

[TiniNormi]

9 people don't want money.

[bustaphatty]

why does he turn into a coathanger at the end?

[Sarusource]

@bustaphatty Is it a critique of consumerism? Are you nothing more than a coathanger on which to hang clothes (products made by money hungry manufacturers)? And the question that then follows, does your life have more meaning than a coathanger? Or like, y'know, maybe Neil Tennant just can't get enough coat hangers?

[bustaphatty]

@Sarusource wtf u tawking bout dawg

[whovianfloovian]

@bustaphatty My favourite comment on the Petshop Boys ever! lol

[usctrojan43]

FRESSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[yummymummy100100]

Love love this song! Now everyone excuse me as I'm going to sing along very loud!

[rbh1138]

I find it rather offensive he has on the same style of clothes a Hasidic Jew wears. But it was the 80's so that sort of thing was overlooked plus european. Not very friendly to jewish people. Still enjoy the song though.

[Syfonen]

@rbh1138 .......why? Because of the stereotype?

[violator9]

@rbh1138 WTF has this got to do with jews? How long have they been dressing like this? FuKK off and get a life. Anyway the jews started most of the wars in the world.

[MicaFeresz]

@rbh1138

I think this has to do nothing with jews,the clothes and hat inspired by movie'wise blood'

it's on commentary

[rbh1138]

@MicaFeresz Oh okay. Makes sense now. Very Hasidic looking though. lol

[dancergurl4ev]

thumbs up if beauty and the geek brought you here:)

[junegloom2006]

every high school sock hop -- we heard this Freshman Year!

[DARKMONK2829]

Nice hat.



[WilliamC24]

Is that a skull in the yellow light of the car?

[NaughtyBoyDamien]

@WilliamC24

I believe it's a $ symbol. Then again it could simply be a light and nothing more. :)

[nsobieck]

its cruel. remember the 1920s asses?

[NinTendonitis]

So he was just a coat hanger all along............

[MicaFeresz]

@NinTendonitis

i'm not the only one mentioned coat hanger

[NinTendonitis]

So he was just a coat hanger all along............

[Bewengewe]

BEAUTY AND THE GEEK

[gmodesike]

@Bewengewe which one is the beauty?

[Oceanrings]

Reminds me of Margaret Thatcher and Yuppies

[Funkpopper]

This guy dresses a lot like Toht except for his tie being white and not with red and black stripes

[MicaFeresz]

@Funkpopper

lol,I found indiana jones and Raiders of the lost ark because of pet shop boys

sounds weird but

I just google 'Pet shop boys video' for image and found Raiders review

and there is no tie!

[kja427]

With our nations economic crises, I think too many on Wall Street took too much advantage of their "Opportunities". They were evil! as for this tune ,it's good, and so are The Pet Shop Boys.

[AppleOracle]

once in acting school i performed this song solo lip synced and brought down the house. the teacher was so impressed but i could not take the credit so i sheepishly admitted to her in front of the whole class that,

"the only reason i did such a good job is because i am stoned."

then i got off the stage to a round of applause.

[1958boomergirl]

@AppleOracle That had to be hilarious! The only reason you pulled it off is because you were stoned. OMG! Marvelous! (LOL) What's happened since then? I hope you've had a happy & successful life & career since then. :)

[LtCnlObvious]

This ties in with their song "It's a Sin" which delves into the psuedosociopathic ideologies involving religions influence on peoples behavior. So if it's not the money, then it's the morals. I think PSB made deep songs covering every aspect of being human lemmings. Including "Go West!" which covers the trans-European immigration You could very well sum up an entire High school Modern history class with the discography of PSB, with some Thomas Dolby in the mix for good measure.

[CREATIVE1N]

WHITE BOY IS ON TO SOMETHING THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I TELL MY HOES LETS MAKE LOTS OF MONEY....

[Rubystars1000]

@CREATIVE1N

LOL

[Mattyb88ful]

[lizardkingrevived]

Is that a Cadilac behind him?

[elvistheeldorado]

@lizardkingrevived yep!

[iandangerfield]

Sadly, this video was made after he had the lower part of his body amputated.

[MicaFeresz]

@iandangerfield

not really. lol

the album cover of "Pet Shop Boys - Story: 25 Years Of Hits"

there are pictures of costumes in thier music video.including this one

and it's full body.google it

[DaveUndertaker]

Ah, the usual comments about having to be gay to fully appreciate a pop song. :)

Oh yes, just like you can only truly appreciate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel if you take it up the ass.

[baddave62]

@DaveUndertaker Or you can enjoy Beatles music only if you eat pussy.

[nightshadow73]

good grief.. who freaking cares what preference you are.. good music doesn't care.

[Drakefem]

I will take care of it...or Uncle Tony will....

[MsPinkfloyd66]

[GetRichEasyNow1]

Get big Money Today with GetRichEasy . Us

[garyfrick03]

[papapelize]
