Spoons Tell No Lies

[PrankZabba]

wasn't this song used for a commercial back in the 80's?

[PrankZabba]

LISTEN TO THE CITY is out on DVD now!!!!!

[Troyman021]

This version of the song is great, different from the album version, wish I could find it but if I'm correct this version is exclusive to the music video?

[repelghosts]

no sandy lives i london,ontario with her two lil shit bag kids and 2 hubbys...gemma

[ZakkandtheJ]

NEW WAVE!!!!!

[MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

I love this video, it's hilarious! The thing I like about videos (and life in general) in the 80s is that they didn't take everything so seriously. Instead of worrying about being "cool", they were silly, which is why it's so fun.

[leafyutube]

I wrote this song but it was stolen from me. I called it "Throw No Pies" originally.

[JohnGrant2011]

Partially shot at Toronto's Pearson Airport Terminal 2 that was closed and knocked down in 2007.

[valleygirlknits]

Bad video. Wonder if they still have the same hair? LOL

[qle6]

what a terrible video....great song though

[gbthecoach]

I actually think it was a pretty good effort and a solid song by one of Canada's best. Plus how do you go wrong with Nash the Slash in your vid

[PrankZabba]

@gbthecoach OMG, not like i've seen this video alot. but when it used to play alot on Muchmusic & Video Hits back in the day, i didn't even noticed that was Nash The Slash! Good Eye!

[Ritzy87]

2:46- 3:00 cracks me up lol

[Hot80s]

1:40 Nash The Slash.

[Ritzy87]

@Hot80s 4 sure! lol

[WatchVenusSpa]

The 80's were the best time to grow up!!!

[TheGayDre]

I had a brief cameo in this, $100 and free cigarettes all day :)

[ElectricPineapple79]

guy at 2:46 looks like Neil Hope!

[RetroCaptain]

Good day,

I liked The Spoons back in the 1980's too!

Yes great sound..never saw this video until now..it's pretty funny eh! everyone is lying!!

HMM.....

Why did they not do the video in

QUEENS PARK

instead???

HMM....

LOL :P

I saw Nash The Slash get up out of that Egyptian coffin! hehe

[failte550]

I still love this song but the video is atrocious ! Watch Gordon Deppe mugging for the camera. Give me a break !

[lost1effekt]

please upload a higher sound quality version of this song, atleast out of respect for this great band

[lost1effekt]

I never knew the Spoons sang this! how unfortunate this video was uploaded with such bad sound quality :(

[dementor4u]

Hmm where did the stewardess go when the plane loses control?? She just bailed!!

[Angiet61]

Hey jmavicko... wow!!! I knew Jim too!! I was watching this video to see him again! :) Miss that crazy guy huh? This video is corny... but I'm sure glad it's on here! Blessings jmavicko!

[psilva99]

Great song! But man, even for the 80's, it's a bad video. Nice to see some of the folks in that video fessin' up here! I don't think you would be able to make a video at the airport anymore. 

Dang.

[johnnypaparazzo]

I'm embarassed to say that I was the snake charmer in the opening shot!!

[dukemanjapan]

@johnnypaparazzo LOL, was the band member in the yellow blazer as big as a fag in real life as he looks in the spoons' videos?

[Frenchiic]

Produced in 1984 by legendary Nile Rodgers co-founder of CHIC and producer of Bowie, Madonna, Duran Duran, Grace Jones, Diana Ross, Sister Sledge, INXS...

[brohmanski]

@Frenchiic -wow, never knew Nile Rodgers produced that album, but listening again, for sure he did...Nile Rodgers was the 80's, love his production. thanks!

[El135o]

Rock it Spoonies!

[craptacluar]

Love this video

[airbus340driver]

Hey, that was Toronto Airports's old terminal 2......the city's salute to stalinist architecture !

[checkeredsunglasses]

I love it; it's so 80's.

[airbus340driver]

Ah.......the decade of exploding hair ! Good times for sure !

[jmavlcko]

It is indeed Nash the Slash coming out of the coffin.

[jmavlcko]

This was filmed at Buttonville airport. I was the guy with the moustache.

[TheExeter]

@jmavlcko

Which guy, the one holding the case or the guy getting taken away at the end?

Which ones were the horn players?

I love 'The Spoons'!

[jmavlcko]

I was the guy being taken away at the end, after failing the 'truth machine' at airport security.

I don't know the horn players. However, the Pinocchio pilot was a good friend -- now deceased.

[TheExeter]

@jmavlcko

You must have had a great time. My condolences for your friend. You look familiar, were you in any Canadian films or Television?

[jmavlcko]

Nothing significant. Some amateur stage work, some extra work. And a few rock videos.On youtube, you can catch me in Pink Floyd's Learning to Fly, vesion 2. (There are 3.)

[TheExeter]

@jmavlcko

I seen one of the Floyd videos where it shows a close up of a native man. Is that you???

[jmavlcko]

No. I look the same in that video.

[BigBadThor]

@jmavlcko Tony Carlucci is on trumpet. I get to play with him a lot; he's a world-class player.

[neerping]

@jmavlcko Thank you for your part in making one of my favourite videos EVER! I think of it every time I board, or get off, an airplane. (What lie did you tell them? ;) )

My condolences as well on your friend's passing.

[PirateMrTyler]

@jmavlcko Dude, awesome mustache.

[bizcarlton]

Earl.......LOL!

[Novaheart1998]

This looks like Toronto Airport back in the day, when it was actually called Toronto Airport, even though its technically in Mississauga.. lol....

[snowstormcan]

I think the guy at 0:25 was on the Pukka Orchestra video "Might as well be on Mars".

[Krashdavus]

Live Earl Jive from CFNY at the 1:00 mark.

[wakkoswish123]

k-rad

[Kenster1025]

At 1:42 is that Nash The Slash?

[sjoseph17]

The netting over the face seems to indicate that! Whoa!

Know what's even more freaky?

I came upon this video right after watching one by FM. Total coincidence.

[Novaheart1998]

@Kenster1025  yeah it sure is.

[amcanmike]

AH THE GOOD OLE DAYS MMM

[zigzagbigbag]

2:10- sandy does the same head bob as she does on the "Spoons on Casby Awards 1985" . that happenes to be at 0:34 of that video. yeah i got nothing better to do...

[woodbinedrinker]

Great Sound, but a bad video. Even for the 80's. Ranks up with Duran Duran's "New Moon On Monday".

[tammyleawatson]

I Agree! Wehad nuclear bombs to WORRY about!! Life is a PENDULUM swinging back & Forth!!HUMANITY LEARNING & REPEATING MISTAKES!

[Frecklesown]

My dad is the security guard at the airport testing everyone for telling lies in this video. Ohhh the 80's...

[justgetsome]

No shit...really?

[4162661670]

hey the mid eighties where cool lots of jobs and even more blow jobs. hahah the spoons where a good band from toronto sandy was wowowowowowowow incredible although if i was going to  prison would not want to be gordon oh boyyyyyyyyyyyy

[ReStartMusic]

Awesome song & video!!!!!

[justgetsome]

Loook at those dews, more like don'ts. i miss the 80's. you are right, simpler better times.

[Novaheart1998]

I'll tell you one thing, I was happier back in '84 but then again I was just a kid, no problems! I have this song on 45.. lol... love it.

[pronlover]

people were generally more happy 28 years ago because things like the internet make our society different from then, and we get all these whining douchebag emos and shit. Quality of life has improved in much of the western world, but people don't know how to deal with minor problems, they just piss and moan.

[horphy]

People were generally more happy because the drugs of the 80's were tamer.

[Dose0fReality]

I dunno man, a lot of people were on coke or heroin then :p

[cantfindaloginname1]

Everyone was happy? No they weren't. Alot of videos just made it seem that way. BTW Is it just me or did that plane look fake?

[cannibalpat]

i know what your saying everyone is so pissy these dayz.

[silverdragon991]

Everyone was happy back then!! What's happened to this world?!?

[rickyscot]

Burlington.

[Daftpunklover15]

Sandy Horne is buetiful :]

[emmsygirl21]

My dad is in this vid!! :D He's the guy at 1:28 beside the pinochio dude!! & he's at 3:03 again!! thats my daddy!! :D lol

My uncle is the lead singer of the band!!

[SonOfMommy]

Then I guess that I just met your Uncle :) They just played in my city at a festival called Pop Goes the City. He was really nice and FULL of energy! He put on a great show, they all did. I was told that EVERYONE was going to dress up like they did in the 80's but my friend and I were two of the only people who did. When he asked me if I dressed like that all the time, I felt a little foolish :P

[emmsygirl21]

haha, awesome!! :) thats funny!! lol! Yeah, they are a great band!

[rickyscot]

that's hilarious. how old is your uncle now?

[xrebeccax001]

ahahnice. sandy is my aunt :P

[coishcha]

my mom is in this vid

[BCBaily]

That is to cool ! what does she think of the vid now these guys were so Classic!

[TrainmasterCurt]

What a look Sandy gives at 0:44! I just melt when i see her, she is so cute!

[luxlisbon85]

this video is freakin' hilarious!

I've seen them in concert 3 times - they always put on a great show..

+1,000,0000 cool points from me :)

[land0190]

My dad is the baseball player in the orange. PRETTY HILARIOUS! I was driving home from work today and heard this song on the radio and almost drove my car of the road!

[HorseLuver161995]

my best friend, her mom is from the spoons,

Sandy Horne

[RaspuTsar]

Нет ложь не * дыра мусора

[dajebus]

I hated this video and song in the 80s. I found way too different from the older stuff.

It looks even worse now! lol

[theeunborn]

[piedrada]

Live Earl from CFNY at 1:02!!!

[zigzagbigbag]

[zigzagbigbag]

Is that a condom on Pinocchio's nose? 1:28

[joeltoth2]

ya Derrick ross was a close family friend for a lot of years. the he got married and had dana (daughter) he was the identity of the group for sure

[natalya82]

my god father is on the drums =)

[pippin1962]

Cool--Derek Ross, right? They were a fun, cool, down-to-earth group. We used to see them every time they were in Ottawa. We were bummed when Derek left the group--it was the beginning of the end of the band.

[natalya82]

ya agreed. and its derrick, not derek =)

[fruitlicker]

no

no!

[fruitlicker]

everyone fuck off.

they all have moved on and there all rad.

besides sandy horn

i'd know my dads in the band

[fotopraktica]

This is probably my least favorite Spoons video ,it's pretty painful to watch it due to the excessive cheesiness factor ,it should have been on fromage '84 .

[83056]

LOL @ fotopraktica

[queenvictoria79]

I have a dumb question. Is terminal 2 the part of PIA that got recently demolished..? I remember going there alot as a kid

[Neville6000]

It most likely is.

[certifiedcritic]

The midget girl is quite cute.

[xoxkeke]

so my dad pulled me downstairs and made me watch this music video.. turns out he's in it! In the plane scene he's the guy with the turban and the snake.

weird

[GeicoCavemanFan]

sweet thats cool yer dad was in the video!

[Blu437]

Love it!!! Singer is co cute!!

[Dibsthe1]

YES!!! I LOVE this one!! I've been thinking about this old video lately. I couldn't find it anywhere and had given up hope of ever seeing it again.

[debed]

Rob Preuss is extraordinarily luscious no matter how silly the clothing or makeup. Holy MOG!
