[adoreamanda]

He reminds of an 80's version of Elvis. Am I right?

[kyrastube]

@adoreamanda you know, my mom who is a major elvis-fan loves billy because he reminds her so much of elvis, so I think you are on to something there. :)

[shiwadiva1]

this was not on swedish tv, bun in peters popshow in germany...

but never mind... billy was simply the best!

[kyrastube]

@shiwadiva1 oh, well, maybe I should say it was SHOWN on swedish telly then. :P but I was just a little fart of a thing in the 80s, so you will have to have patience with me. :)

[shiwadiva1]

The original song actually came out in 1963 it a Stax song w/ William Bell Done again in 68

[MikeKrysta1]

Original soul song by William Bell 1968 "I Forgot to be Your Lover"

[TheGodParticle]

Hey! he spat his gum out at the crowd in the first verse. I guess thats rock n roll for you.

[Velyarminon]

And some fan probably took the gum and either. 1) Made an altar...2) Picked up, and chewed it....3) Put it in their pants...

[preciousbash]

@Velyarminon HA HA HA!! Now that is funny! God help me but I almost certain that I would have chewed it and then made alter...Thanks for the laugh!!! Too Funny!

[MsTananda]

without billy idol in our lives what can we really say? I knew if I was in my mid 30s back then More energy off of me would have went places.billy idol is 7 years older than I but I can count the rock from the 60s, GET IT or shall I say: FEEL IT>

[JayKay62969]

Billy Idol was my first concert. At the age of 14 waaay back in 1983. God I thought he was so hot!!

[preciousbash]

@JayKay62969 He was my second at 12. Devo at 8 or 9 was my first at some rinky dink auditorium, and then I saw Adam Ant the night after my first Billy concert at the same venue. YA BITCH!!! I lost my voice like 10 minutes into the concert My best friend and I were screaming like our very lives depended on it. I am sure my father was happy when I was old enough to go without him. BILLY IS STILL FINE!!!

[JackLivesTogether]

It's the 80's. The crazier the hair the better.

[akrivosdiavolos73]

sounds like an old Southern Blues Soul....redone with synthesizers, plastic, and bad moussed 80s hair....

[kyrastube]

haha. but billys hair is pretty awsome. but the bands hars can be discussed. ^^

[Whoozinga]

it was a soul blues song in the 60's, lol, but yeah, without the hair,lol

[spkymnky]

this is a old 70's soul song from staxx records.

[shiwadiva1]

he looks soooo sweet...

love you billy!!!!!

[Paulosoy]

Did he spit his bubblegum to the public on the begining of the video, jajaja, Billy Idol was the coolest in the 80s!

[kyrastube]

he sure did. :) I would not mind beeing spat on by billy. ;)

[54spiritedwill54]

good song its really nice

[LindaMy09]

I love his smiles in the beginning of this video<3 Very, very charming;) Sexy, sexy beast......

[amyhue]

i saw him in '87 and he ripped his pants on stage

[enoebel]

In a good way, right???? : )

[amyhue]

lol, totally by accident; in the crotch, they were too tight! ha ha ha imagine that, everybody's pants were too tight in like 1987...and then he turned around and finished the song and disappeared, it was funny and probably kind of embarrassing for him but at 17 me n my friend thought it was pretty awesome... 

he's still damn hot, yum

[matias9900]

cool song :D and his hair is soo cool :D:D

[1HotShweetie]

Yeah, he is one giant walking orgasm. Sooo hottt even still today!

[dowhoopido]

I love the way he's stroking and humping his way through the song - hilarous. Love it

[kyrastube]

haha yeah. but when you think about it, put on mtv and artists are still doin that. just that nowadays its mostly females and not cool guys with leather-pants and bleach in the hair

[dowhoopido]

Billy Idol is sex on legs, so so HOT!

[xxdooley]

It was an awesome decade....

Since then, music pretty much sux.

D.

[kyrastube]

sadly that is very true

[1987BESTYEAR]

Awesome song and performer.....80's rock!!!

[kyrastube]

not out of the question. this was aired in sweden in the 80s but its not impossible it was taped somewhere else

[ubrilliant1]

Love that smile at :23..So HOT!

[kyrastube]

oh yeah. billy is allways hot! and hes damn good looking too, love that smile me to. :)

[CheyenneRox08]

good song its really nice but i think that you shouldn't put the dates on songs like these because we already now that he's from the 80's.........

[kyrastube]

I dont understand what you mean? I never wrote anywhere that he is from the 80s?

[Giselle325]

Yessssssss he is!!!!!

[robincobb77]

He was and always will be so hot.

[kyrastube]
