  • The first time that I heard this song was in Xena! Lucy Lawless singing this song ♥

  • Do whatever one must...test the limits...self discovery...self enquiry...a life long persuit of ones truth....

  • How ironic is it that the advert for a song which is about women standing up for themselves, has Rihanna with skimpy clothes, throwing herself over a man just to get attention. Wow, well done YouTube.

  • "it's gonna be an 80s montage..."

  • THE single greatest pairing in musical history. So much love for this!

  • everybody who preaches and demands equality feels inferior

  • two fantastic voices on one song............sexy!!

  • Wow.. they broke the mold on this one unfortunately.. what voices

  • Bad Girls Art Gallery in Ft Walton Florida has added this song to our official Bad Girls Music playlist. We are a group of sisters doing it for themselves!

  • I'd die to see Madonna & Celine doing this song at the Grammys :P

  • love the fact that 3 of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers are on this song...Mike Campbell (guitar), Benmont Tench (keyboards), and Stan Lynch (drums) =]

  • its hard to concentrate on the song when im not even sure if that feeder guy is still alive

  • go back up your missing the video

  • Nice :)

  • I love this song! It makes me feel awesome!!!!!!

  • I'm a man and i love this song. But then again I love liberated women.

  • @rhettpeter83 It's a powerful song even witout the lyrics...

  • Woa, woa.. people what's with this gender bashing? Just enjoy the song.. This is for me is such a feel-good song, nearly as feel-good as "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls ;) But anyway, now if you're just the average straight woman or man don't get sexist! The opposite sex gives us a wonderful thing... just that! yes - sex! I'm a woman and love this song AND men! Let's not fight people, and focus on the wonderful thing that unites us all together and makes this world so damn good!!

  • Well, speaking as a man... I have to say that I don't care what the subject matter of this song is, it's a great song! Plus Eurythmics had such great taste when it came to guest artists on hit records. Aretha Franklin here, Stevie Wonder in another.

  • I can't believe this only has 331.000 views it should have millions!!!

  • Amazing song Satoor ;)

    :D

    

  • I love this song and I wasn't even alive when it came out. >< 

  • Towanda! meaning you go girl!

  • Ok serious question people lol :)....What do you all think about this songs place in modern society? do you think it has any resemblence to the 21st century woman's position? or is it just a brilliant song that described how women fought for equal rights?......Also as a last note, how comes Maggie Thatcher isnt pictured in the video? lol surely whatever people's views are on her, she did landmark a new era in British politics being our first (and so far only) female prime minister! :)

  • What a feminist bull-dyke, with penis-envy song.

  • @iiwatcher No one envies penises. Esp not yours.

  • @911patagonia "Methinks the lady doth protest too much..."

  • @iiwatcher Misogyny is faggy

  • @911patagonia Misandry is Bull-dykey with penis envy. ; )

  • @iiwatcher

    Women don't get penis envy. Men do.

    In any case, good luck with the mail order brides.

  • @911patagonia Lmfao, spoken like a truly dumb broad--you obviously don't even know what penis envy is. Don't bother to wiki it then come back with a definition, you'll only reveal yourself further. Good luck with the late night ice cream binges and petting your cats on Saturday nights. XD

  • @iiwatcher I figured you'd have the typical woman hating comeback. If you could get a date where you live, you'd have a life outside of trolling. PS - Freud was a fraud - if your read you'd know that - you wouldn't know, since all you do is looks at pics in skin mags.

  • @911patagonia Wow, it took you a long time to google that. Just as I predicted. XD What "wymin" hating? Nah...just you. ; ) Freud is the father of modern psychology you moron. Of course many of his theories turned out to be wrong, but many were right. Context of time & culture anyone? That's way over your pointy little head isn't it? If you were well read you'd know that. (cont...)

  • @911patagonia Of course you aren't and you don't--this is further evident by your atrocious writing skills. My 5 year old niece writes better than you. But that's ok, you're too busy eating hostess ding-dongs and watching Twilight with your other fat, feminist, single friends. XD

  • @iiwatcher Oh, what a sad, lonely man, now a part-time grammarian! Do you troll these sites looking for a date? What an idiot. Nothing but cliche insults. What a douche. Sad, sad little man. Your idea that this is a man hating video makes about as much sense as saying that a video on manhood insults gays. Get a life. BTW, Freud was passe when my mother was getting her Masters in psych in the 80's - but you wouldn't know that, would you, Mr. pseudo-intellectual?

  • @911patagonia Butthurt you got schooled. Just let it flow through you; resistance is futile. XD Is that why he's still in textbooks, and some of his theories are still used, and undeniably relevant? Yes, he is "passe" and ALL his ideas are wrong because it's fashionable to hate Freud.Lmfao you moron. I suppose when you're done washing the baby it goes out the window along with the bathwater. Your neophyte thinking skills amuse me. By the way, way to date yourself you old fart. XD

  • @iiwatcher Oh, lordy, what a misogynist sad little lonely old man. Old fart? Look in the mirror asshole. You spend all your time trolling so I would have to assume you don't get any. Good looking men don't troll.

  • @911patagonia Ah, the 'ol "misogyny" comeback. Old & transparent. Is that the best you can do? You're old, simple as that. Arguing with teens on youtube. Doesn't get more pathetic than that.

  • @iiwatcher And BTW, it sounds like you never got out of 9th grade. Good try. Freud has been proven wrong over and over, but you wouldn't know, your only reading material is hentai manga and skin rags.

  • @911patagonia Many of Freud's ideas are acknowledged as relevant to this day. Sure he was wrong about many things--but only a simplistic mind would discard all of his ideas bc of those he got wrong. That's childish reasoning at best. Psychoanalysis is still used & preferred among therapists when they need counseling. Short-term psychoanalysis is shown to be effective for certain issues. Defense mechanisms are widely accepted & self-evident. (cont...)

  • @911patagonia Unconscious drives, motives & fears have been demonstrated. You try to come off as smart, but you're merely an ideologue that throws around buzz words like misogyny (you're probably a third wave feminist), a neophyte & an old fool. You should be embarrassed that you can't even properly debate with a young person. Pathetic.

  • @iiwatcher

    You have no way of knowing how old I am. Frankly, you sound like an old fool.

    When you're not giving bj's in park restrooms, do you come here and bug women because they won't date you?

  • @911patagonia haha your channel says you're 44 you old fart. OOPS! And you last sentence--thanks for confirming what an old fool you are with that old fool response. ; )

  • Coorection: Your, not "you.

  • @iiwatcher My channel says nothing at all, dipshit. Typical.  "old hag", "dyke' and "man hater" insults from some creep who can't get laid.

  • @911patagonia Resorting to petty lies. Your channel says you're 44. No sense trying to worm your way out of it old fart. XD

  • @911patagonia PS: I see you have ZERO counter to my facts so you resort to regressing into elementary school insults. I rest my case. XD

  • @iiwatcher Facts? You have no handle on facts. Don't know a goddamn thing. So when you're not jo'ing to videos about kids at nudist camps, this is where you spend your time?

    Did you have a series of divorces that left you bitter? Is your girlfriend John Mark Karr?

  • @911patagonia Whoa where did that stuff about little kids come from? Oh that's right...YOUR MIND. That's called projection my friend, now we all now what you're into. The statements I made about Freud's theory are all true and verifiable. Your inept attempts at denial & your rather disturbing choice of insults (little kids? really? You find that amusing?) only underscore the fact that you have ZERO COUNTER & a very low and suspect character. ; )

  • @iiwatcher Third wave? You wouldn't know what the first and second waves were, moron. And describing yourself as a "young person" ROTFLMAO.

  • @911patagonia I'm well versed in feminist history thank you neophyte. But I understand why ignoramuses such as yourself find it difficult to believe that others have actual knowledge about a subject. And yes, I am young--jealous old man? You seem rather, um..what's the word...oh yeah: MAD. You MAD? :) PS: from your channel: Created by 911patagonia (Block UserSend Message) Latest Activity Dec 10, 2011 Date Joined Jun 27, 2011 Age 44 Country US OOPS! BUSTED! GTFOH OLD fart liar! XD
  • @iiwatcher Bullshit, you pathological liar. Nothing is on my channel. And you don't know squat about Freud or Feminism.  Keep on j'o ing you lonely angry fucker.

  • @911patagonia Bwahahahahahaha you're simply pathetic. Keep entertaining me bitch. I like it. ; )

  • @iiwatcher Bitch? Dumb broad? Who has the hate problem, Mr. Teenypecker?

    Young man my ass. Middle-aged bitter woman hating psycho more likely.

  • @911patagonia Hahah you MAD? I proved you're a liar, and an old fart. ZERO comeback for that eh? LOLZ. Jealous I'm young? Lulz. Keep entertaining me old fart liar. The butthurt is strong with you...

    ; )

  • @iiwatcher Ah, my old poo pusher friend is back -still no life, no one paying attention to you? What an excellent day for an exorcism....

  • @911patagonia Lame. Try again.

  • @iiwatcher Do you know how much of a dumbass you sound like for all the shit you claim to know? You could actually know all the shit that you're talking about, but that doesn't make you sound any less of an asshole. And don't reply back, you're going to try to say something intellectual to try and make a fool of me, but it'll only backfire on you.

  • @iiwatcher And how the fuck do you tell someone's age from the fucking youtube account? I was too young to join youtube in 2007, so i used a fake age which says I'm in my 30s. If you were dumb enough to believe that, I don't know about the stability of your "argument."

  • @Darkscoper LOL would you stop going back and forth between your accounts? You're not fooling anyone posting to your own comments to seem like you have back-up. It's pathetic. XD

  • @911patagonia You know you don't make yourself seem anymore intelligent than your opponent.

  • @Darkscoper Look, I'm having fun with this douche. Intelligent discourse is not the objective (nor is it possible in this case). 

  • @911patagonia Still talking to yourself via your accounts? How pathetic. Keep revealing yourself loser lol.

  • @iiwatcher NOPE!  Wrong again!

  • @911patagonia Methinks the bitch doth protest too much!

  • @iiwatcher Did you look in the mirror and say that?

  • @911patagonia Nice Pee Wee Herman comeback: "I know you are but what am I?" lmfao you stupid cuntstain. XD

  • @iiwatcher You've already been pwnd asshat. Anyone can look up your schtick by googling your handle. Same lame comments posted everywhere, on dozens of sites. Nothing but a professional troll. A prole. That's all you are. If you had a life, you'd fuck off and do something else.

  • @911patagonia Ooooh I haz been "pwnd!" LMFAO! Funny...I don't post anywhere else, see, I have a LIFE--something you know nothing about. But it's nice to see you get caught in a LIE. Poor pathetic little loser. Meanwhile, if YOU had a life..oh that's right, you're right HERE responding to me. Oops! "NUFF SAID!

    XD

  • @iiwatcher Oh yes you do. iiwatcher is all over google. No life, no nuts, no nuthin. A pathetic professional troll. Piss off buttcrack.

  • @911patagonia Yes, as are you. Except you are everywhere all day & night on the net, even on holidays, lol LOSERRRR.

  • @iiwatcher - from one of your many posts

    iiwatcher July 19, 2011 at 7:56 pm

    @Gurpreet25 Now, you’ll have to excuse me, but I have a little something called a life to get back too. Guess you’ll have to do the usual: wait up at all hours every day, sweating in anticipation of my response, in your mom’s basement apartment, while she feeds your fat ass with fish-sticks & french fries, served on your favorite Star wars tray, as i get back to you when...

    bla bla bla - THAT's YOU, TROLL.

  • @911patagonia How great you picked that comment I made to your lover or alternate account. It's so fitting for you! ; )

  • @iiwatcher What a pathetic joke you are.  Get a life, bozo.

  • @iiwatcher Wow, you're really an idiot. Would he really take the time to switch accounts over and over to try and make himself seem better? I'm guessing you would since you brought it up. Wow, this is just pointless, a monkey like you wouldn't even know the truth if God existed (not saying he doesn't, I don't know) and told you it was true. You judge people so easily, and make such rash conclusions without actually proving your point. How can you prove we are the same person?

  • @Darkscoper Yes you/he would, bc you're/he's a loser. Look at how passionately you defend him & take it so personally. Either you must be him or you're his pathetic, fag lover.

  • @iiwatcher What, you got something against gay people now? I swear, you are one misogynistic homophobic asshole and don't realize how retarded you are. Who said I was defending 911? I'm just calling you out on your bullshit troll logic. No passion involved whatsoever, and of you can read that much into things then you are far gone and nothing can help you. Sad really.

  • @Darkscoper Translation: "Wahhhhhhhhhh!!! :* ( " ...and with such PASSION! You must be in love!

    XD

  • @iiwatcher 3 weeks, and you're still on this shit? I'm just gonna let it go, because I have more important things to worry about than an argument that's not going to go anywhere.

  • @Darkscoper 3 weeks and YOU'RE still on this shit? weren't you gonna "let it go" ages ago? You just can;t tear yourself away can you? Know why? because you're BUTTHURT! It's call online Stockholm syndrome due to post-traumatic OWNAGE disorder. It's ok, here's some french cries to console you. Enjoy! XD

  • @iiwatcher Dude, you were the first one to reply after 3 weeks. I had completely forgotten, and all of a sudden i look in my inbox and see your comment. Just stop. It's over.

  • @Darkscoper hahahha yeah, yeah, stop BEGGING BITCH you know the truth and it hurts! XD

    LOSERRRRRR

    Still responding? Yeah I OWN you BITCH. XD

    It's over alright---your life was over years ago. Now go eat your dinner---your mom has called you up from your basement room to eat your fish sticks & french fries. Get your Star Wars folding tray ready fat ass! XD Hope you can still make it up those stairs! XD

  • @iiwatcher Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Begging for what? What truth? How am I the loser when it seems you're the one having an orgasm from telling someone off on YouTube? How the hell do you own me? And just so you know, I have my own room on the second floor of my house, I don't use trays, I sis at the table and eat, and I'm not a fan of Star Wars, and I run track and took Tae Kwon Do for 2 years, so I'm no where near fat. Just stop trying so hard, go outside for once.

  • @Darkscoper Yup, you're suffering from cyber Stockholm syndrome as a result of post-traumatic ownage disorder. XD

    Can't tear yourself away from me bc of your immense butthurt. LMFAO @ "I took Tae Kwon Do for 2 years!" Bwahah something a fat ass would say! Wow, you have your own room on the 2nd floor of your mom's house--cool! She really takes care of her middle-aged boy! XD

    Keep dancing for me monkey! ; )

  • i mean, cmon, it's a classic :p

  • only 324633 views? :/

  • I love this song. It's so empowering

  • @MegaPaddyo

    Thank you for the quote

    The liberation of women

    Now everyone has to work to pay the bills & the bankers. Also means the children go into daycare from a very young age, many from babies. Breaks up the family & means children learn to connect less to their parents & their family - more to the state, so-called 'experts', the government

    Emotional bonding is weakened. People grow up & don't know what intimacy looks like, let alone how to create it

    A nightmare in the making

  • @explorer2101 Both of my parents worked and I turned out just fine. My mother worked nights for 15 years paying bills and my father worked during the day to ensure that I got an education (BSEE's aren't cheap). When I turned 16 my mother worked days because I knew how to take care of myself. Way to go, placing EVERY woman in that category. Although I do believe that most of this liberation crap is liberal propaganda, but coming from a conservative household I shouldn't know that...

  • @rgstever You are making the very basic mistake of taking a general truth and accusing someone of talking about a given individual. His comment was not about you! It was about the reality of what goes on in society today. Note also: You had BOTH a FATHER and a mother, and they both took care of you. This is why you turned out just fine in spite of the fact they both had to work so hard. (cont)

  • @rgstever I guarantee you that given the choice, they would have been happier to have only one income & spend more time with you & so would you. "Wymin's lib" has made sure that no one has that choice anymore, except for the very wealthy. Ironically, one of the things they fought so hard for, now makes them whiny, miserable fools--now they HAVE to work, like it or not. I've never seem females so bitter & unhappy as they are today.

  • @explorer2101

    The time of "Mad Men" yes, an idyllic time for women. 

  • Wow!! two of the best vocalists and wonderful women - what a great vidio - they both sound and look GREAT!! Love the sound!!!!

  • Great song. It always reminds me of that scene in Married... with children where Kelly is slaving away in a rowdy diner. hahaha

  • two great voices...

  • xena warrior princes brought me here.

  • These days if you say sister or say anything positive about women as a whole you're a femininazi That's not to say they don't exist but I'm sick and tired of the vitriol comments on the majority of boards bashing women. At the same time it's a bit disappointing that most female artists only make music to sell sex. Be nice to see women get more into diversity like the majority of male artists.

  • Annie actually looks kinda sexy in this with her jeans. Never had any other time

  • 232mins love that part go dave ! respect to them

  • So much for this - women artists still degrade themselves appearing half naked on stage. Why is that? If they had half the talent of these two women they wouldn't need to. It looked hopeful for a while but women have dragged themselves back to what they were always doing - turning on men. Have they no self respect?

  • @michaelleacy agree completely, so many women in music are selling their looks in place of talent, while the truly gifted often fall on the wayside.

  • WHEN MUSIC WAS FUN AND HAD A MESSAGE.... I miss those days... whew.

  • I'm a white male in the US, and I love this song.

    I really do wish we could get past our gender and ethnic inequality past.

  • @brealistic1970 MUSIC KNOWS NO COLOR .... YOU JUST HAVE GOOD TASTE IN MUSIC!!

  • @brealistic1970 I love you.

  • 2 people are obviously men

  • @GraceKellyMx Not only men, but def men:-) I'm a man, too, but like this vid:)

  • @GraceKellyMx I am male and this tune rocks, by the way I am not gay either womens rights all the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

  • @Cats1357911 Kudos!!!

  • Aretha and Annie are groovy like that!

  • love this

  • I'm glad Dave Stewart didnt wreck the buzz of this song by being too manly when his moment came.

    Fair play! ; )

  • I wish the lighting guy would shine a little light on that leathered toe of Annies.

  • No one has to validate their rights to anyone else. That's why they're RIGHTS.

  • Miranda Hart brought me here <3

  • Ellen Degeneres and Sharon Stone brought me here : )

  • I love this! Thanks!

  • Two great voices in perfect harmony. I love it.

  • @TheZapzupNZ Maybe, but they are exactly behaving themselves like sex objects by always beeing half naked (advertising, movies, clips...) and beeing considered as an object is what they reject. Anyway, i personnaly think that women took the easy way to show they are "free". There so many ways to show the man's world you are more than a sexual and kid making thing. Why always nudity? They do have brains, they should use them ore than their asses and boobs.

  • Women totaly failed their emancipation. Seriousely...if emancipation rhymes with half naked in public all the time, than i prefer non emancipated women. By the way, there are many false ideas in this video and in whole feminism. However, great sound, and great voices.

  • Comment removed

  • women rights ftw!! :O

  • I could do without the skinny little douche dancing around like a gay firefighter in the hotel ballroom.

  • behind every great man is a greater woman! YEAH BABY

  • fuck I want my polish girl back.

  • As much as I adore Aretha, I prefer the live version with Joniece Jameson at the Sydney concert 1987.

  • One of my all-time favorites!

    Come on sisters!

  • great

    

  • FIRST WIVES CLUB THUMBS UP

  • Oh hell Yeah!

    

  • sisters are doin it for themselves! standing on their own 2 feet and ringin on their own bells! sisters are doing themselves!!!!!

  • ha! i mean basic instinct! haha! i got fatal attraction and basic instinct combined/mixed up.

  • annie lennox looks like she could have been in basic attraction. lol!! just put her in the white dress and sit her in the chair. haha, love it....

  • GREAT + GREAT = GREATER

  • Comment removed

  • Annie Lennox never looked this much like David Bowie (O_O)

  • yeeeeeeeah meshel tim and marty :D

  • GIRL POWER! KILL ALL MANPIGS!

  • @heyheyolek lol

  • Woo Hoo! makes you want to dance your butt off!

  • You Go Girls!!!!

  • What a great song!! The best.

  • I have always loved the Eurythmics. I sent this as a dedication to all my sisters on my social network. We are many,woohoo!!

  • the greatest feminist song

  • Quality!! Sisters should be doing it for themselves! Female equality! :-)

  • I have the original tape (1985 by RCA)...

  • Power to the women!

  • perfect for today's Random Mini Disco Dance Party!

  • I know this may be inpossible, but anyway: was Eurythmics inspired by the W.A.S.P.-song "Torture never stops" when they wrote this song? There are some similarities in the chorus! :-O

  • My Aunt Tommye passed on this week, and this song described her best. She was very independent and didn't go for the gender roles of her time where women were expected to find a man, marry and have children.

  • Yay! Great Song!!!!!!

  • I love what Annie Lenox stands for, but especially HOW she stands for it.

  • If 'sisters are doing it for themselves', then why aren't there female versions of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Earth Wind and Fire, The Eagles, and Duran Duran in the music industry? That frustrates me!

  • @kja427 A few reasons. One, it was discouraged. And if they managed to pull anything together, no one took it seriously. If they WERE picked up, they ended up using sex to sell it anyway. Today, anyone can produce and promote their own music with the internet & macs. Sisters CAN do it for themselves. I really hope we start seeing more of it. And actually, I see it as more of an honor (as a female musician) to be in a group with BOTH genders, showing we can play with ANYONE...not just eachother.

  • I love these two beautiful, talented women!!!!!!!!! Get it, girls!!!!!!!!

  • This song is great and funny , transcends politics !

  • @theverysmellyone How? I honestly think this is the most Feminist song ever. This song totally doesn't support patriarchal practices that force women to be lesser and dependent on men. Are you saying it's patriarchal because it encourages women to join the system or supports capitalism at some level? I'm not looking for a internet augment I would generally like to know why you think that.

  • YAYA

  • i'm sorry to say this but the worst part of this video is the guitar player at the end. I know he makes up a part of the band, but i don't know. it was just out of context of the video.

  • @Mattio351 I agree 100%

  • can someone get aretha a double cheese burger please?

  • @fran9860 was that suppose to be funny?

  • Well, if i had to ask a woman marry me, i would ask Annie first, for sure!!!!!!!!

  • legal blonde 2 This is Cookie 

  • THIS IS A GREAT SONG FOLKS
