[ThePoo57]

They are a black version of Bananarama really!

[veritasvita]

Nice song!

[martindonaldson]

Superb song. Remember this from my childhood.

Such a catchy song. Love it!.

[Kharizamah]

Body and Soul - Mai Tai, 1985

[chocolatepuff718]

They still look the same probably. That's because black don't crack.

[lunny74]

@chocolatepuff718 Unfortunately there probably 3 times as big now

[chocolatepuff718]

@lunny74 ...Wait size or fame? I'm confuzzled



[JustinUK73]

I think I've still got this record somewhere lol. I loved it!!! Was my fav Mai Tai song. Petty they weren't a lot more famous in the UK.

[GRAHAM5020]

Remember buying the single 45rpm in 1985..god this brings back good memories of a cheerier time. Great song.

[soulfromsunderland]

FANTASTIC SONG~!to the bemusement of me m anthony corner and his lass jacki from sunderland!

[MichaelvanT]

In 1985 zijn er op dansgebied een heleboel goede singles uitgebracht. Deze van MAI TAI is er een van!!

[AdmiralBirdseye]

Was the bird in the midldle always as fit as that? :-D

[sparkle935]

loved dancin to this in the nightclubs

[TK494949]

Classic 80's, thanks for posting.

[scottpowersthepower]

i can remember this so well young and gagging for it

[80sFunkyFresh]

funky fresh!

[JMR83]

retarded

[porkisgood4u]

but u kept comin

[jonkofied]

I love that 80s vibes,you shut the fuck up, Jerk Master

[JMR83]

Hey I love the 80s soul pop vibes but this tune sounds too childish for words

[JMR83]

This is the most spasticated and retarded song, and with the most spasticated beat and bassline.

Hey, I am an absolute sucker for 80s nostalgia and love loads of stuff from then but this track is an insult.

[Paardekut]

The record industry was pretty much on its arse in Holland during this time, but that didn't affect Mai Tai's success. Unfortunately it did affect many other brilliant Dutch dance acts.

[porkisgood4u]

This is what I called music!

[avancefarter]

Does anybody has the long version of "The rules of love" (remixed by Ben Liebrand). I have the 7 inch version on cd. The 12 inch version broke when i was a dj in those days. I never could get it ever after.

[users3247]

my dad had an old vhs video featuring this very same performance, wondering if it was uploaded or taken from there. certainly brings back memories. video recorders arn't even being made nowadays for home use, certainly not here in the united kingdom anyway

[boneymad]

My old friends!

[thetoplads]

dint think this song would be on her.

great times shagging

[alvindalvin]

I'm a child of the 80s and this is so souless, and overly Pop. The dance steps are not good. There stiff as performers. Common!!! This is actually an example of when people where saying that 80's music was bad. just because you grew up in this era doesn't make all the music of that era great. This diffinatly isn't.

[DominatorMCMLXXVIII]

This tune epitomizes everything that was great about the charts in 1985.

[Paardekut]

SPOT ON!!!

[Alexion100]

Great track,these girls can sing and dance. Very under-rated group.

[MegaDave1973]

@Alexion100 totally agree with you this group was brilliant

[propergeezer31]

One of the earliest manifestations of cheesy Europop. But i frickin' love it!

[PadSpin]

Awesome song - memories of the Beacon Royal, the Pink Coconut and the Top Rank Suite in Brighton, Studio and Palm Beach in Streatham, and Bolts at the Boscombe Academy!!

Oh to be in my 20s again..........

[rumpraisin]

....and to have a full head of hair?

[porkisgood4u]

Even their dance steps are cool. Unlike all the booty-shakin videos now...sucks

[anjame1]

Love this nr over and over again...

[GRANTBOWLES]

love this ,being a gay man!

[rumpraisin]

Did the gays make this one a hit?

[JMR83]

Why do poofters love EVERYTHING that is cheesy? Sure there is lots of "cheesy pop" I love but I be selective. Even the most obscurely forgotten pop such as Hearsay or Fast Food Rockers is worshipped in gay bars.

[twq1976]

u have to experience the 80s,jmr...yes the music is cheesy but its part of our childhood,kids dont judge music,just sing along and is part of memories thats why we love the old songs,hope u understand this

[JMR83]

I experienced a fair bit of the 80s as a preteen if that counts. I love almost everything from the 80s anyway, just not this

[funkprodigio]

Onde andará  as meninas d Mai tai? Grupo que com certeza quem vivênciou a cena musical dos anos 80 sabe como esse grupo nos traz boas lembranças de uma época muito boa.

[MouthOfTheSouth1973]

Thanks for posting, great song! Brings back many memories of my childhood! 80s rocks!!!

[martindonaldson]

Great 80's tune.
