[movadoband]

[mr5exywolf]

it was not him. it was her. that bi puta.

[alimite]

this song reminds me Quito

[deaconblues045]

Beautiful song!

It really turns me on.

[Dano62680]

Those strings and violins...during the chorus and near the end...send this tune to a whole different level. It sounds fantastic!!!

[Sagitariofh2010]

Bons tempos, me lembra essa música. Música da minha juventude. Muito boa ! Saudade!

[morrisman64]

this is the song that made me want to be a songwriter

[mike5556]

"Oh no! This song mentions cigarettes!

Lets bury it!"

That is the history of this song.

[sbrute66]

I loved this song when it first came out in the late 70's and I still love it.

No song fades out better than this classic.

[RealMusicKing]

Haven't heard it since 1980 when my friend Razi used to play to this song in his 1979 Chevrolet Malibu Classic which he had brought from Jim Hendricks Chevrolet(fairfax circle) which came with an 8 Track. And yes, he also had a 45rpm vinyl of the song.

[ELIASPATRICK]

Hermosa canción, muy bella y bastante directa

[eliudnemo15]

Las mujeres, nunca saben que quieren.

[Garbanzo884]

@eliudnemo15 Es verdad. 

[Garbanzo884]

@eliudnemo15 Es verdad. Es muy verdadero para las mujeres muy bonitas porque hay muchas veces son muy tontas.

[eliudnemo15]

@Garbanz Es cierto

[Sarasdad91]

@eliudnemo15 A veces ni siquiera saben quiénes son.

Sometimes they don't even know who they are.

[buddygoodcat70]

Man I can't stop listening to this song. I've replayed it like a dozen times already. I had forgotten all about it until a couple of hours ago.

[nickrambus]

Just moved to Tempe, Az 1978 when this was out. A desert song for me for sure !!

[admir591]

great song.. remind me of good moments at Puc- Campinas...

....

[JizzTasm]

reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.

[jekorb]

Bittersweet love song.....wow, what memories! Thank you for posting this; love it.

[murejlaura]

[TheManof68]

[08y11CL]

T.Q.M. . .

[LadyLeslie1]

A rock song with great strings, loved it 30 years ago and still today. Thanks Rupert

[castl001998]

to the girl who screwed me over your loss bitch

[wenafuh]

This song has been stuck in my head for days now! Great song!

[abj99861]

I totally agree. Working in Hartford radio at the time I used to love playing this far more that Pina Colada song. Wife and I were also splitting up about this time.

[reddwarf169]

Holy crap...!?!?! Isn't it amazing how you can just listen to a tune & have the flood gates open up in your memory...? What a year 79 was...! ;P

[Joesire]

Great solo in the middle of the song. Forget instruments. haha, Nice solo there though. Great song

[icbr]

This song got good play in L.A. The album is sensational. And I agree with Kell, this was not only better but was my fave at the time. Truly a great song. What a lot of DJs did was to turn up the volume as the song was fading to get every note out of the strings - which were beautiful and melodic. Give it a try with your volume nobs or dials and you'll hear what I mean. DJs did the same thing with the Beatles' Hey Jude as well as I Am The Walrus.

[StevenC32]

The late 70s had some awesome music.

[thisboy1964]

This is his best!

[anthonymarsh1]

I've been searching for this song's real artist for 2 years. Two years ago, I recieved a blue CD that one of my family relatives gave me and one of the track numbers included this song, between "You Got to Love Me" by --I forgot-- and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears For Fears. Now I knew after 2 years who sung this and it was Rupert Holmes. I keep coming here on YouTube now and then and I keep going by a lyric from this song "What is going do without him?". It was "Him" all along.

[yoshiminaqua]

俺はこの曲が大好きだ

[humand1saster]

2:23 that moment is so dope

[humand1saster]

this song has a lotta dope little moments in it, has any MC ever sampled it for a track?

[TheOxleycrusher]

This song came from 1980-in my opinion,probably one of the best years musically,this song is top banana!

[bkthin]

@TheOxleycrusher 1979

[skypilot722]

Hated The Pina Colada song; love this one.

[villero1924]

the best of all with this song

[5171967cafk]

Just seems to go with the movie of the era "Body Heat"....somehow does.

[sgtslaughter898]

i know all about this it happens with alot of my exs i have alot

[tboltjohn]

Great tight bass drive reminescent of studio legend Carol Kaye.

[forestgumpaed]

memories of a great era...he also did something like the pine collardo song from escape i think.

[Msaprilconquest]

@forestgumpaed ayup "escape: the pina colada song"

[LooseCharm]

They rock like this any more... take that as you see fit!

[kuttieGirl9]

this song is dedicated to all  girls without respect

[rghall57]

Reminds me of a girlfriend I had in college. Except it wasnt "Him", it was "Them"

[icbr]

@rghall57 Ouch! Sorry dude...

[ldenisedavis]

@rghall57 *ouch* Sorry . . .

[chronicchild3232]

@rghall57 DAMN. That sucks. I feel ya though, I really do. Happened to me too. But we're so much better off without our two-timing backstabbing ex's.

[sgtslaughter898]

@chronicchild3232 haha yeah i tell her it him or me

[MegaPkdos]

song dedicated to Michael Magliulo Jr. a sob.

[TigerCubBlue]

I'm sorry dad , I'm sorry mum for being so mean , I'm sorry that on christmas you spend money on me and my brother , I'm sorry that you have to pay for us , I'm sorry that i had to hurt you just to be born into this world

[Msaprilconquest]

@TigerCubBlue none of that is your fault!!!

[TOMMYTOMA4]

Great song!!! Thanks for posting, We play alot of these great songs at

TOMA'S TIMELESS TUNES i hope you'll stop by and give a listen thanks again. Tommy Toma.

[ldenisedavis]

This brings back a lot of childhood memories of Red Bird Skateland in Duncanville TX!! So many good memories!!!

[jsizer35]

4 stars!!! One of my favorite songs of the 70's. Was born in 1971. The greatest decade,. What happened to times like these?

[Leichewow]

@jsizer35 I was a teenager in the 70's and they totally sucked. You had NIxon, the Vietnam war, the oil embargo, terrible inflation, the cold war, the Iran hostage crisis. The music was good but that's about it. The only good thing to come out of the 70's was the personal computer.

[ldenisedavis]

@jsizer35 Hey! So was I! Born in March of 1971! Whooo! LOL!

[sibjoan]

@ldenisedavis Hey...happy 40th to you for your upcoming birthday!

[ldenisedavis]

@sibjoan Thank You! *cartwheel* *heel-click* *giggle*

[SuperTonysangel]

my partner Tony

[Kell0526]

Great Tune! Better than "The Pina Colada Song". Too bad this one didn't get more attention.

[gilliemagoo]

@Kell0526  Totally agree!!!

[cloudbroken]

@Kell0526 Don't bash "Escape".

[Kell0526]

@cloudbroken Liked "Escape" also. Just liked "Him" more.

[dkthg]

@Kell0526 Didn't he just tell you not to bash "Escape"? Asshole.

[allstar00442288]

@Kell0526 no way

[kuttieGirl9]

Really good sound!!..and quality!!.. i love it....la cancion de jose jose El El es buena version tambien!...

[pipoelpulpo5903]

EXISTE UNA VERSION EN FRANCES O ITALIANO, ALGUIEN LA TIENE? ES MAS O MENOS DE LA MISMA EPOCA Y CON UN GURPO EUROPEO (CREO)

[CalvRobb]

Great tune. Although this song was less popular song than the "pina coloda song". This song has a great R&B vibe to it!!

[thedudamoon]

Beautiful!! 

[medicoenamorado]

Un video mejor merece esta excelente cancion.

[gormanstown1]

Some memories, mega song, they dont make this sort of music anymore!

[TheRobert2012]

Reminds me of my ex-wife

[MemphisMaiden]

@TheRobert2012 ... Is that good or bad ? ;- )

[j1o2y3c4e]

Like the words say, you shudn't be greedy and have two people on the go at one time you always get found out in the end.

[The1962Misslady]

I can relate to this song its not a good position to be in thats for sure.

[1lindxik]

ME GUSTA TAMBIEN EN ESPAÑOL CON JOSE JOSE

[5171967cafk]

Hearing this song as an older person( was 13 when it came out in '80) it sounds as if its describing the movie of that time - "Body Heat". Funny.

[ytbmasterx7]

日本にはなかなか、こんなにソフィストケイトされたポップスが生­まれてこないのが残念です。

[mappiradayon]

@ytbmasterx7

日本には残念ながらこんな楽曲の素地・下地？となるものがないの­でしょうね。

まあ時々ここで昔に戻ることができて楽しんでますので、生まれて­こない（乱発されない）ことも良しと私は考えていますよｗ

[HEMISUPERBEE426]

THIS SONG IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE. I LOST THEM ALL ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. NOW I AM SO ALONE.

[15hollistergirl]

Try , todd rungren hello its me.

[djbigpean]

This is ether Blue-eyed soul or Soft rock!!

[djbigpean]

This is Blue-eyed soul or soft rock!!

[hindsighter]

I've known this song for thirty years and it keeps sounding better and better. Must be one of the all-time best. I remember our housemaid playing this and Lotta Love by Nicolette Larson on the radio in the late '70s and early '80s.

[cooler5150]

This song brings back many memories. I was in the 7th grade too when this song came out! On Vacation down in Texas with my parents!! Very good song! Even tho I didn't have a girlfriend to lose to HIM!! lol

[NowhereMan1966]

January 1980 when this was released, I was in 7th grade.

[kscott24]

I love this awesome follow-up to "Escape", and it would make a great West Coast Swing song to dance to (for those who dance WCS); whether you're a WCS dancer or not, this is a "lost classic" and a SMASH HIT for Rupert Holmes! Enjoy!

[MacEliot]

Such a wonderful song, can't get enough of it!

[MrJvdoubles]

i was in my senior high had my first of almost... love this song

[shockme25159]

Good Song!!

[14adrano]

He also produced Barbra Streisand's hit 1975 album "Lazy Afternoon"...check it out.

[mrjim271]

Have this album great song and a good album, Answering Machine is another good song.

[NAMDOG54]

@mrjim271 what about the song '' people you meet '' I believe that was the name of another good R. H. song ??

[mrjim271]

@NAMDOG54 ,

I have to listen to it sometime.

[belladeballe]

@NAMDOG54 I'm thinking you men the song "The People That You Never Get To Love."

[NAMDOG54]

@belladeballe you are correct, thats the right title, thanxx..................

[belladeballe]

@NAMDOG54 You're welcome. Now that's one song I wish they'd upload. I really like it a lot.

[icbr]

@belladeballe Me thinks you right. Great song, too.

[8410melaniem]

such great memories from wheni was young

[closerange88]

Thanks for posting. Wonderful song.

[emerybayblues]

I only knew the "Escape" song. The first time i heard this song was on an informercial for some soft rock collection. The infomercial was hosted by the 2 guys from Air Supply. The clip shown of Holmes singing this song he was on American Banstand and Cheri Oteri was one of his back up singers.

[shockme25159]

@emerybayblues Same here dogg

[ilugo54]

Año 1980.Esta canción sonaba a menudo en Radio Intercontinental de Madrid,y era la favorita de una de las"chicas de la Inter",Ana Rosa Quintana,hoy conocida presentadora de televisión.Ana Luisa y Ana Laura eran los nombres de las otras componentes del trio de locutoras de dicha emisora,en la madrileña calle de Modesto Lafuente.¡Qué recuerdos!

[mrapina]

I love "escape (the piña colada song)" and this one has a better rhythm.

[wasagoodkid]

[TheMetalVagabond]

I remember my dad having the "Partners in Crime" vinyl back in 1979/80. Loved "Him" as a kid, and still do 30 years later (with the CD in my own collection)!

[dutchy1176]

I love this awesome song,but I don't understand why people would click on here just to post stupid remarks.....BE NICE!!

[dbrowdie]

I have this friend of mine that made me listen to this song. He told me it was a hit. I can't understand why a song that sucks so bad was a hit. Is there anybody that agrees with me? When the singer (Rupert Holmes) starts to "Yodel" is that good-bad-scary-disturbing?!?! My mind is blown right now. Please no angry comments from people who love this song. I don't want to piss anybody off.

Thank you all + I will check who responds to my long comment.

[erniekeebler]

Thanks Debbie!

[andersmh123]

tremedous song from a great time in my life.

[dbrowdie]

Why?

[67tomcat]

Just a wonderful song- thanks!

[junkie4vids]

While everyone remembers Rupert Holmes for the "Pina Colada Song", this song is the true standout IMHO.

[RonnocRetep]

yeah defo his best song, Escape is good but this is great

[martinjp1958]

Great song. Production almost worthy of Steely Dan and a sublime full harmony chorus.

[MsPenelope7]

Man, does this music bring back so many memories, it's almost overwhelming!

[bkksugarsyrup]

[dbrowdie]

Dude. Why are there not more people like you in the world. Most comments about this song are positive. It more than sucks - It is the worst song I ever heard in my entire life.
