[ronaldo111000]

[Belker16]

robin clarck

[aarmington]

ok......who is that black lady background singer???....

[selatik1]

@aarmington My momma dat's who.

[miguel1656]

In the 90's my favorite band Simple Minds, remember the best show Holywood ROCK in Rio de Janeiro

[gloriaarmida]

THE BEST MUSIC IS FROM THE 80'S :)

[TheLightwarrior2012]

CLASSIC!



[HANDYMANNWien]

what a classic. long live the 80s.

[gosponbreeze]

Is it just me or Jim looks like Rick Moranis (Honey i shrunk the kids)? :)

I was a kid in the 80s but there is this warmth and tenderness everytime I think about the decade..and the music is timeless...

[x001m69]

This music never ever gets old. timeless

[clarkjosh87]

@jdidthatbop2... It's never too late. No excuses, just action.

[fastpony71]

I feel sorry for the people where I work..they listen to the same garbage on the radio every morning (today's 'so called' best hits of today.) There are NO best hits of today!!! Its all junk that keeps getting repeated over and over. Its like the stations that play this crap run the same program time and time again and there are people that are listening to and buying this stuff that has no heart and exemplifies NO TALENT. You have to go back to the 70s and 80's for that!!!

[canicole20]

@fastpony71 Yes!!! You said what I couldn't find words to say..I agree with you on all counts! :-).....Your awesome,has anyone ever told you that? :-)

[angelaviga]

@jdidthatbop2: you're so right...

[mig189189189]

Great Sound!

[jdidthatbop2]

i swear to god i listen to this song i wanna do something not just sit around and watch TV i wanna do something like skydiving or hang gliding 1980's were happy, joyful , alive , spirited , and most of all i wanna look at my early years remembering my friends, the good times, and my best times when i look back and see how boring and dull i am now id kick my ass for being so lazy for gods sake people go live and do something with your life while your young thinking about this makes me pissed

[jaygeeinMN]

@jdidthatbop2 -I totally agree.

[supersabrejet]

in 1980 I was 10, a decade later ,the best years of my life were there in the past, but those years gave me a great family, a girlfriend''now wife'', REAL friends and this fantastic music , some times in my dreams ; I go back there.....and it is just smiles.

Thanks GOD for the 80s.

[daytonafreakboy]

gross.  pictures of nicky minaj

[boxalot26]

marriage on the rocks,great music never fades

[TheScumfrog]

This song gave birth to the Premiership.

[hikingdruid]

We were so full of hope and Flash!

[zzyyxxo]

this was a great band. 

[christyluvsmr]

great song! great band! thanks for putting it up.

[roshong3]

One of my favorite albums of the 80's. "Don't U Forget About Me"?...pffffft...

[shaney101272]

It was a time that just seemed so much simpler and much more about friends and family instead of the ridicoulus fast pace track we are on.

[Ghoopty]

Really cool breakdown in the middle and subsequent build-up to the chorus.

[Slingblade347]

Hmmm, chemtrails in 1985. Interesting.......

[markky60]

Never knew that they were scottish lol

Funny guy, the lead singer.

Its a good song, and a good group indeed

[carbonbodyworker]

The bassists foot at 1:16 is one slip away from being in the shit,flat bottom greasy shoes and a bass round your neck arent exactly craghopping equipment

[selatik1]

@carbonbodyworker Tell me about it. The worst part of this is that when they started out filming the video, Simple Minds was a 6-piece band!

[Sunburst75]

This was shot in the North Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, not bad for a guy from Toryglen in Glasgow. Jim's old house is 2 miles away from me :-)

[TS1976ful]

One of the most amazing songs ever! And so emotional. Makes me think it is the 80s again - feeling like I am floating on a wave of nostalgia. Fabulous.....

[mas2ery]

he always reminds me of the key-master from ghost busters

[CammieGee]

I would love to know where this video was shot, beautiful scenery.

[aramanth]

I always liked Jim's clothes.

And of course this songs "kicks" and well I was going to work the "alive" in but you get my point.......

[TheSouthcommon]

download this on your ipod,go for a walk,play this in yr headset,try your best not to do an air punch,kick some hedges,or randomly just dance with a strut

[MrPiseag]

One of the best song

[neil1992F1]

80's rules... simple as

[dav01kar]

i love a kick in

[tonytonytee]

from listening to this i know why they were called simple minds.. they should have been called simple dogshit with this shitty music.......

[dewaynecullen]

@tonytonytee c'mon girl! Don't be a closet listner of eighties tunage! You know you came here because you like the song ;) Otherwise, you have too much time on YOUR simple mind.

[Slingblade347]

@TheSkeppers Why would anybody respect "elders" with such a filthy vocabulary?

[tonytonytee]

these old bastards were alive and kicking 30 years ago. now they are kicking at a gravestone as old as they are...

[seldomcertain]

@tonytonytee What a great comment! Please enlighten us further with your pearls of wisdom. I'm amazed by the wisdom of the authors of comments on YouTube. 

[progrocker69]

@tonytonytee Are you trying to corner the market on ignorance or what?

By the way, Justin Bieber called and asked if you could please return his fur-lined tweezers.

[carlinhocasagrande]

isso é banda isso é musica não esta porcaria de hoje.

[arualaaf]

the lead singer looks like he's gonna tell the best joke ever

[frampton79]

I like the chicken!

[Yyyyzyyy]

That guitarist is precariously close to the edge of that cliff.

[arualaaf]

@Yyyyzyyy he's still alive and kicking 

[nosaj1939]

what a brilliant constuctive song,shame we don't see these kind of hard work these days.

[crazyrebel2u]

Sorry to hear about your wife running around that hurt no matter male or female doing it to the other. I married 2 filipino women hopping to get a good wife and they suck never cheat on cuz there to fuckin lazy to make the effert hehehegreat lovers in there country but once they get to other country you should cut your winker off cuz it will be usless hehehe

[arualaaf]

@crazyrebel2u ¿¿¿¿¿¿???????????

[crazyrebel2u]

I'm a guy and i don't think they dude is goofy lookina tall i'd say he's just normal looking hell you want to see goofy lookat Cameron Diez an don't say she's hot just cuz she's all over tv cuz that's a shit reason hell even Angelina Jolie is just a little below normal nothin special about her but her bank account

[pisolpetey93]

the lead singer looks like Pinto from Animal House

[stevodka1968]

That back-up singer had some pipes.

[marketwizz]

REF: previous post ~ QUOTE: their lead singer was goofy looking.

This song has so much meaning to me. I was 37 and my wife was cheating on me, and I was at the lowest point in my Life and I am 60 now, but this young gal saved my LIFE and I should be in prison, and her name was Delinda. I never cared what they looked like if the song was good. She was awesome. I respect your opinion, but you may wish to talk to this singers mom first. Try and be nice and not attack someone, till you look in the ?

[supersabrejet]

The 80,s...Thanks GOD I was present.....Thanks God for the 80,s....thats it.

[Brutuss445]

Un Temaso, paraguay presente....

[kathriley1]

I like the song - fashions suck!

[GintasSakalas]

the drummer has to pee so bad

[MrConstantino22]

[MrConstantino22]

[MrConstantino22]

[MrConstantino22]

Tive a felicidade de vê-los no hollywood rock no auge do sucesso...

[thayssa252]

[thayssa252]

[thayssa252]

isso sim que é música para meus ouvidos ...........

[AlistairChase]

What a video, what a song!

[greenbeaverfilms]

I owned the 45, that's all I gotta say.

[tardis709]

song of scottish independance 2014, btw dont care bout my speling im drunk

[sbenitor]

Lol. The man in the drumms looks like he's trying to fart. xD

[Hereismytwocents2011]

I used to have this record and listened to it over and over. Glad I spent my teen years in the 80's!

[wiebe2009]

@Hereismytwocents2011

Me too. I'm 45 now but still enjoying 80's (and 90's) music. The music of my youth. But my daughter (10 years old ... sorry ... young) also likes my music. There is still hope!!!

[Hereismytwocents2011]

@wiebe2009 Music was so much more meaningful and fun back then. Thank you showing your daughter what real music is.

[156nico]

Ke beeeeeeeeeeella la pausa col piano.

[BoAWrath]

Slappin da bass mon! Love it. GOing to have this as one of our wedding songs this year. :)

[rachelinga]

I like fried chicken....

[TheAnnagoddess]

love all the posing throughout the video...and that black leather jacket with the fringe..oh dear..i had that

[olliepet1]

this song is great!! still sounds awesome! I listen to it often when working out! I love the chorus!!

[SuperSPOCK1701]

Now it,s all or nothing....

[557Franklin]

The 80's were so awesome: this song proves it! Even though their lead singer was goofy looking - even back then - their sound was phenomenal!

[8r41dy]

@557Franklin so goofy he bagged Pasty Kensit :) Glory days indeed lol

[espresso21]

Why are 80s songs always so memorable and awesome?

[Arcanesavior]

@espresso21 Just to me, they represent an easier time in life.

[MrAxeEdent]

@espresso21 Probably cause most of us who grew up in that decade just wanted to have good, clean fun by dancing, listening to good music, and having a meaningful relationship. Todays music seems to be about killing, negativity, and depression and most artist cant even come up with their own lyrics.

[supersabrejet]

@espresso21 I think it is because 80s music was made with love and real mussicians, real instruments and not thinking in fame, money and oppulence.

[Arcanesavior]

Simply a great 80's song! A lot of memories!



[MrOscarneto]

66 não sabem o que é musica!!!

[hallgi]

Thumbs up, if you're listening to this in 2146!

[rogercamp]

@hallgi

Well, sure I will if I'm alive and kicking till then. I'll be 176 y.o.

[triballeon]

@hallgi i do! :)

[sharkclub1]

@hallgi I was born in 63 but if im alive then i sure will.

[jdidthatbop2]

Im glad people still enjoy this song i hate new generation music most of it at least this is a classic hit of 85' Simple Minds are well respected Jim is still cool, even 27 years later

[MaverickIMC]

Fuck Vevo and its shitty ads :(

[007dougieboy]

ANOTHER GREAT SONG FROM THE 80S

[freiheitsalv]

I always loved this one a little bit more than don't you forget about me <3 :D

[Waldemirization]

Eu fui o nº 2397945.

[Waldemirization]

[Sarahabreu16]

Recordar é viver adoro Simple Minds.

[bietske]

Awesome song!!! Mysterious times that 80's era!

[gregnormanovnh]

top tune greg molloy on newton heath yerrrr

[henryalugoro]

i knew simple mind since 1988, I think it was in year 1988 or 1989, simple minds had a concert in Brisbane , Queensland Australia. I was really young (Still in High School) I sneak inside simple minds concert they were Rocks !!!!! :)

[kittysumy]

Q buena Canción!!!......vivan los 80'S y que viva Simple Minds.......I love you

[paracacho88]

LO MEJOR DE LOS 80 BRITANICOS

[TheSkeppers]

[mesabog2]

Glad Grace Jones could make a guest appearance.

[NumaNuma187]

[kauaiwindsurfer]

[unbebo28]

Totally sweet! Takes me back to me youth!

[TheBeatlesTheDoors]

good one, but a little bit gaylord

[Midwestern72]

@TheBeatlesTheDoors - the only thing gaylord here is you! Simple Minds still sound great.

[TheBeatlesTheDoors]

@Midwestern72 peace & love to you in 2012 bro!

[paulofernandesilva]

this song is awesome

[DonnaSunAgain]

@paulofernandesilva I couldn't agree more! :D

[74musicfreak]

@paulofernandesilva ...simple minds was one of the most underrated bands of the 80's...they kick ass

[MultiplicityMe2]

Spectacular!

[JetJagger]

Hard to believe such an amazing voice comes out of a face like that ~ LOL. Seriously, you'd just never think it. His voice is AMAZING, but he looks like producer, not a singer.

[dirtyjew1974]

@JetJagger out of all the singers in the 80s i rank him among the best voices.

[georgeclooney111111]

One of the best songs of its day...bloody awesome!

[dirtyjew1974]

@georgeclooney111111 yeah their underated and always have been, they have many good songs but my favorite is see the lights!

[SUEKICHI666]

Junto a money for nothing do dire straits essa é a melhor condução de bateria de todos tempos kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk pegada monstra!

[Liveleadplayer70]

still love the lead up and that change @ 2:40

[Masterside]

No snow on VEVO? RIPOFF



[vachief]

...Ron Paul....he needs your help and support.

[Willaras]

@vachief Yes Indeed! Ron Paul, For and America Alive and Kicking!!!!

[vachief]

@Willaras ..Well said ...Sir. "Free and independent"....JFK.

[gregnormanovnh]

[arveens]

Great band....so many memories...still takes me back to the uni days...lov it..

[khankillaa]

[toonsis]

@khankillaa it was the 80's...this is how we really lived

[human200freedom]

SI PLE MINDS ROCKS .... U2 SUCKS!

[eduolhar44]

Bons tempos nessa época eu tinha desessete anos naquele tempo se fazia musica hoje só porcaria funk pagode sertanojo e por aí vai só nojera que som maravilhoso isso sim que é cantar

[jbar19]

I think it's great that Clarence Clemmons made a cameo in this video.

[willyvdk100]

THE GOOD OLD DAYS .MY KIND OF MUSIC.

[Antonieta3137]

love it

[TheMarcelfelipe]

nossa essa raridade e muito boa

[MrPicklemeat]

I love this song back in the day

[TheSquizzlet]

Youtube has no fucking idea how to advertise... Why the hell would I want to know about some dike pop singer who's autotuned every sound that comes out of her mouth, when I'm listening to legit music?

[TheSkeppers]

thats the most constipated lookin drummer ever

[TheSkeppers]

best funeral song ever

:D

[garymacmillan]

I don't think anyone comed out of this covered in glory...

[spiddy1969]

one my favorites band and song of 80s.......especialy extended version in jukebox at sea...

[ikheetiris1]

when I was 5 or 6 years old I really didn't understand what the song was about. I am dutch so I didn't knew a word English and I thought he said Alalala Kiki. and I was like, WHO IS KIKI?!

[Supersweetguy]

@ikheetiris1 Haha. That's funny, but i understand.

[odovicor]

I hear so many "kicking" on 80's music and never quite understood why. The fashions were awful, but the music is some of the best. Though I'm in my mid-fifties, I love this, A Flock of Seaguls, Aja, ....Thanks for uploading.

[panda7988]

bons tempos que ñ voltan mais é uma pena

[TheWarpedVinyl]

ooh hoo oh, oho oho oho oh

[n1ki27]

definitivo los europeos mandan en musica

[752202]

Lo que no entiendo, es porque no buscas una persona que te guste al 100% que vista exactamente como tu quieres que vista, que tengan las mismas perspectivas,los mismos circulos, etc, Salgo totalmente excluida de esto... piensa antes de cometer errores...

[ZeldaIcarus]

61 people are not Alive And Kicking!!! :-)

[biorama]

Upstate NY

[vaadaenmacchi]

beautiful location. where was it shot?

[vaadaenmacchi]

if you're here that means you are a real fan of the 80s. not that make-believe fan who knows only the commercial hits (dont you forget about me but the fan who goes deeper than that

[thanxx]

2:30 she looks like misha b from x fuckter

[archives0fpain]

great song but is jim kerr wearing leggings

[mypics4music]

Each And Everyone Of Us Should Have This Song As Our Montage. It Is The Essance Of Life In The Lyrics!

[GivenchyParisFr]

DAMN I REALLY ASK MYSELF IF THIS ISN'T THE BEST MUSIC EVER :)

[dazzlinglegwarmers]

I always thought that the lead singer of Simple Minds was very cute in his own quirky little way!!! Simple Minds rocked the Eighties!!! :D Nothing like 'em !!! The Eighties rocked !!! :D

[ShizuokaDolphin]

It's a whole. New. Ball game. 

[fredblink18287]

Classic!

[masanf]

I understand the need for advertisements but preventing people from muting them until they are halfway over is just plain lame.

[Eddy060569]

Fuck time money ! Back to 80's ..... amazing !

[kokaiini]

killer bass.. oh please, dont make the drummer play, it looks like an abuse :/

[sivazh]

That singer is one goofy looking fuck. Good voice though.

[LIgirl527]

that drummer looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but making that video..........

[tonytonytee]

@LIgirl527 i was kind of thinking the same thing..
