[eightiessam]

A little too much going on in this version....Thx for posting this, but I'll stick to the original version if i can find it.

[KARENK72886]

Best version, indeed, the 80s RULE! Time machine anyone?

[rocketvon]

Is that MOLLY RINGWOLD playing piano?!

[sunnydayze1969]

IMHO The best version is the original UK single version and sadly no one has posted that version.

[Maxharddrive64]

Shhh don't tell anyone...but I miss this style of music...such a different time back then

[killforfiend]

the chorus to this remix is complete shit! it sounds like it was dubbed by people who can't sing! I love the original better as it is thank you

[ugalawdog98]

That redhead chick playing piano is hot.

[toekneeh21]

This is a great version, hard to find, good job on the video

[chambara62]

Thompson Twins always bring back the lighthearted memories of art school and fond friends :)

[perpetual61]

Thanks To Thompson Twins. Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie and Joe Leeway for being One of the 80's Best Groups. I wish todays Music was as awesome as the 80's were.

[noramirez1]

Cool mix , all these songs remind me of Brenda ........I wonder what she is upto 20 years later.

[MrLucyball]

Yes their best song for me.I loved the thompson twins, pity their success was short lived, still they continue working on their own projects.Animo guys.

[kaptainfuture1]

A graet song,gives me...

A lot off memories

[darkgardenia]

I love the soaring chorus in this version...

[sscrystal10]

He was my grandma's gardener too...not really hahahahahahah

[0114owl1867]

he was a teacher at my school, hinde house comprehensive, sheffield

[corkdawg82]

what did he teach?

[0114owl1867]

he was a supply teacher when he came to my school so he filled in when other teachers were off sick which meant that he kinda turned his hand to anything to a degree, but i think his specialised in music, i was never in a class with him, i think he just left when i started 1980 - 1981 ish

[xxdonaldqxx]

They looked strange but sounded great.

[cowleyway]

the eighties rule!!!

[jorgearresis]

12" version is a extended version of a single song, usually as long as 6 or 8 minutes and remixed. Long time ago when the vinyl was the king, 12" was the diameter of a 33 1/3 rpm record, called long play too.

[Naathann]

what does 12" mean?

[stonerhythms]

wow that is quite a opening for all kinds of answers

[jackalrovers]

I remember being so excited I finally bought this 12" single record the moment it got released in my local store..hid from my Dad in the shed for fear of being scolded....ha...Great 12"

[CarmencitaBMW777]

my favorite song of Thompson Twins

[venclik]

Great song, thank you.

[borinquaflava]

Comparing this song with Bon Jovi's (which is good in it's own right) is like comparing apple and oranges.

[fxfjfefc]

bon jovi lay your hands on me is much better

[456mikey]

This song sounds too dry and lifeless - sorry but the English version is much better.

[WWWadde]

at 21 Tom almost died:but rebound in 86 fell of exhastion:but rebound such fantasms made-gave tom inspiration and revelation in his music: a land mark of times..

[DancingAngelicR]

Oh my, one of my favorite new wave tunes, smiles and blinks.

[chezzeeX]

I actually forgot they did this song.Sounds quite good!

[ikasasdoll]

This song is one of my favorite songs from the Thompson Twinns. I'm in love with Tom Bailey since i saw him oh well, that's life.

[Waddetreestore2000]

tom's rebound of exhaustion in 1986...I knew he would rebound....

[scoutman1963]

the 80 had lots of great group Simple bands with great words.  It was good times

[MrsMJ2007]

Lay your hands!

[lspontes]

Very nice version. Good for re-living memories of 80'. Thk

[knebltomas]

I love you 80'

[wolfboy69]

i just love this song

[MOONRAVEND7]

queen england- lay your hands on me.

[mwaltrip55]

I LOVE this version! Thanks for posting :D

[ROBOgirlie]

Now how can Tom be 30 here??? Well, he looks fab, anyways. I love the back up vocals, how they aren't all cheesy. Anywhere I can find the mp3?

[Patriciameadows]

This is great. I hate the version that plays on the radio here in the U.S. with the backup vocals all dramatic. This is MUCH better. The version I have in my Mp3 player is much like this one. Great song.

[dubyadub22]

Great job on the video Cheekyg2!

[englundus]

Great version of the song! Thank you for posting!

[LeavingLilliput]

HumansLib is right, this sounds like an extended UK version. The US version was terrible because they adding the guitars..it just awful. The original UK version was by far the best.

[HumansLib]

Hmmm, I'm not sure this version was ever really the official U.S. release in 1985. That release involved that ridiculous rocked out guitar which came out of nowhere (as well as the pumped up choir in the chorus). The original UK version from 1984 was something like what's posted here, just in a slightly different format. I know the original UK version is on the Perfect movie soundtrack. Really a much better version, in my opinion.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

ANY GOT THE OTHER VERSION OF THIS VID

[shinyhawk777]

I love this version so much. Thank you so much for sharing, you were generous. Good times in Houston as a teenager with this song. Thanks again.

[BLUELIGHTNINGTIGER]

Just seen the original video on vh1 classics. Love this song & group. Wish they would come back. They definitely make my top ten groups of the 80's.

[corcholato]

a very tasty version of lay your hands on me, I remeber i recorded this version from the radio sometime in the 80's, thanks for posting

[mcozatc]

The most overlooked groip of the 80's!

[Twinharps]

Amen!

[ranimas]
