Swing Out Sister - Breakout

[LAWoman323213]

My dad actually bought this cassette single for us. Even though my dad was almost 50 in 1986, he was still a cool dad.

[mcasidis]

1:58 - 2:08 : OK, we get it: you got yourself some bangles (sheesh...).

[billwnyj]

If you like this 80's video, you gotta watch Key Largo by Bertie Higgens!!! It's totally 80's

[mattstone12]

I always come back to the 80's, seeking forgiveness. I'm sorry we can't be together anymore but your always in my mind.. 

[ckeos]

the best of the 80s, thanks

[5up3rk1w1]

I appreciate 80's music, but hell no I don't wanna go back there. Nostalgia has taught me a few things, and that is I only remember the good stuff and convieniently 4get the crap. So to those that say grew up in the wrong generation? Stop listening to the current music and lock yourself in a cupboard. A kid today will be saying the same thing as you, in ten years time.

[footfiles]

@5up3rk1w1 You're right, people forget stuff like oh... the freaking Cold War...

[LAWoman323213]

@5up3rk1w1 OMG! Finally someone feels the same why I do. I was watching a video from the 90s the other day. Some kid was whining about how she wish she had been "born in 1988 instead of 1998" *rolling my eyes*. I remember all the pop culture of the 80s and I came of age in the mid 90s. I used to wish I was a teen in the 70s or 80s. Now I realize only immature kids long for the unknown past. It so doesn't matter. That's what YouTube is for. LOL!

[MsTamsinator]

Not many people know that Michael Schumacher was in Swing out Sister before Formula one driving.

[sirbarry]

Are they in Pleasantville?

[InTokyoJapan]

懐かしいなぁ。就職活動をしていたときに良く聴いてました。

[iammontecristo]

It is songs like "Breakout" that make me realize that I grew up in the wrong generation of music.

[bmw318racer]

Corinne Drewery has a fabulous voice.

[euqip]

80's music had a broad spectrum. There was; Punk, Country Rock, Metal,Grunge and many other varieties. And there were a few bands like "Swing Out Sister" I don't know what you'd call this category of music... maybe "innocent rock". It's just so pleasant to watch this today. This song is well structured the horn parts are quite good. This video is pleasant and of course, as many others have said... Corinne Drewery is very pretty.

[narmer44]

I remember watching this on VH1 and MTV regularly. That was when they played music most of the time. Now I have to go to channel 824 and then they still don't have the video.

[TheGraphitte]

Great song! This was still before music went into the abyss. 

[matkasim]

HAPPY SONG . literally

[TWAspacefairy75]

You found your break...you've got to find your way , say what you want to say!!!!

"Some people stop at nothing, if you're searching for something"

Excellent lyrics from a great singer :)

[757CitiesReppa]

Dont stoooop to aaaaaaasssssssssk!!!!!!

[MrTAFSIYNOT]

I didn't appreciate the 80's.....I do now!!!!!!

[swaugertim]

what an amazing song. absolutely underrated. why is this not a song everyone has heard? just another great song buried in the greatness of the 80's.

[keithtyler1100]

Never ending classic ....that was a wonderful time in my life when that song came out.....thanks guys.

[digitalceo95]

[houseandthensome]

@anicriz Otherwise known a the flapper bob.

[cwash2005]

I would be mighty ticked off if someone has already invented a time machine but kept it all to themselves for their use only. Take me back to the 80's! Please!

[MrPeterbare]

@cwash2005 I reckon.

[fr4nkl1n1]

[robinsl27]

[AscoliChaChaCha]

[MyDream2Nite]

She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn.....for some reason...

[houseandthensome]

@MyDream2Nite It's because she has class like Audrey.

[hbkgadea]

[ultimateweasel]

The lead singer seems like a white male trapped in a white female's body

[pavlovick]

@ultimateweasel WTF? Are you serious? I see her very femenine!

[DforDelinquent]

@ultimateweasel

What fucking planet are you from?

[pavlovick]

Esta riquísima Corinne! What a nice and beautiful gal!

[MsFuturestar1]

Classic Eighties. No attitude no hidden messages just colourful sing along great pop songs brilliant miss the EIGHTIES

[BongoOldChap]

@MsFuturestar1 lol ha ha ha dont you remember Golden Brown by the stranglers? fucking big hidden message in that one wasnt there ;)

[MsFuturestar1]

@BongoOldChap REALLY ? please inform me I was not aware and still not

[BongoOldChap]

@MsFuturestar1 judging by your sarcasm you are aware, yet this makes your 1st posting bullshit then? you often post bullshit on youtube to impress?

[MsFuturestar1]

@BongoOldChap easy my friend I'm not being sarcastic at all I really need informing.

This is new news to me from a song that is a classic peace mate

[BongoOldChap]

@MsFuturestar1 oh, my apologies, im too used to being around trolls and having to bring out the keyboard warrior, Golden Brown is a homage to Heroin and the sweet embrace that she brings to the mind, its a song that worships heroin, probably written under the influence of it as its such a poetical masterpiece - to distant lands, takes both my hands, -

and no one noticed back in the day, right over our heads, parents heads, bbc, politicans, no uproar, read the lyrics with Heroin in mind :)

[MsFuturestar1]

@BongoOldChap

No problem and yeah I no what you mean about trolls. Well I would never have thought that but now you explain with the lyrics I can see where you are coming from thank you.

My fav song Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode, people claim thats about heroin addiction also, but I dont want to think of it like that. Thanks again Keyboard Warrior brilliant I will use that ,-) take care peace

[BongoOldChap]

@MsFuturestar1 someone pointed out once that most songs are about drugs and sex, when you look at them in that frame of mind it does make sense, i dont know if you know Lupe Fiascos - Kick, Push, its a great song with a nice skateboarding video, and when you see the video with the song you think its all about the right to skate. No, its about dealing drugs and the street etiquette and risks that go along with it, go have a look it fooled me for a while and yes, peace :)

[asmodeus87]

Well you could listen to my eighties show on a saturday night. 6-8pm on hcrfm.co.uk OK that was a gratuitous plug, but do it anyway.

[mazsenior]

God I miss the 80's. Is that sad or what...LOL

[lalagummybearcarrot]

Great song, great voice, great campy video!!!!

[noneofyourbusiness47]

What utter JOY. We need ANOTHER New Wave, to sweep away the crap. I miss the Eighties.

[gotaku37]

@noneofyourbusiness47 i totally agree with ur statement.

[NeoGeo70]

@noneofyourbusiness47 La Roux was almost there.

[talktal]

i dont think this really qualifies as new wave.  its just pop @noneofyourbusiness47

[MzCoffee123]

That pageboy is still just as fresh as it ever was lol

[marklar95]

I really love this, but I can't help but feel like the last shot looks more like she is in pain than excited.

[ryansearotica]

this song is a tribute to a time when we weren't so stressed and angry. a great example of music that you could play in front of your grandmother and not get slapped. great music. i am so in love with this group.

[fatpizzaman]

@ryansearotica the 80's also had Black Flag, The Beastie Boys, GG Allin, Dead Kennedys, Crass, Public Image Limited and The Plasmatics. If you played their records to your grandmother she would not just slap you, she'd beat you to a pulp with her walking stick. This is a great song nonetheless! :)

[MrJZchicago]

This song is champion it is.

[rynic93]

i heard this song at a grocery store today. so glad i work there. totally worth it. lol

[thekarenheart]

she is soo---LOVABLE!!!!!

[mwredit]

Sounds like the Miami Sound Machine

[vitam25]

The singer is sooooooo sexy! Happy music too!

[hossola77]

@brian78045 The music of the 90's and onward was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call.

[jamesbond504]

ASK GOD TO PLEASE BRING BAK DA 80S,PLEASE!!

[Loakum]

[Cellars1978]

[hermogino]

This song used to play when my alarm clock radio came on. This one and "When Smokey Sings" by ABC.

[eclipse572]

1:02 sassy gay friend at the right??

[dabthe1st]

@replayability....like all good things they eventually get turned into garbage...hip hop, rap crap, and other forms of noise and garbage....

[Replayability]

Don't hez E tate!

[stretchgilbert]

How Lucky Was I To Grow Up With Such Great music Being Produced Across The Board!....What Happened???

[loganoneil1]

@stretchgilbert One word - 'GRUNGE'!

[brian78045]

@stretchgilbert

IQs plunged, as Ripley said!

[tkaefring]

@ChequeWriter Okay, maybe I was being a bit hyperbolic, but she is cute and I think her hair is a large part of that cuteness.

[davelloyd6882]

I love that girl.

[tkaefring]

That bob makes her look unbelievably cute.

[ChequeWriter]

@tkaefring Loooooool, easy on the 'unbelievably'. She looks iiiiight I guess.

[hbk2220]

This song is on Grand Theft Auto IV

[cwash2005]

a good song that says "let's live life and have some fun!"

[Corrupt5358]

This was in the charts where decent 80s music turned to shit, goodbye to nik kershaw + frankie goes to hollywood, hello to stock aiken waterman and this shit.

[archive303]

I would marry her.

[iammontecristo]

What is with it with this song? It always makes me feel happy!

[gearboxbreaker]

corrine will u marry me?

[pigsbyvictor]

Does Ryan Stiles have a cousin?

[dmp160170]

Is it just me or does she look so sexy with that bob hairstyle!

[bumhole320]

@dmp160170 It's not just you mate, I do too!!!!!

[keef71]

@dmp160170 absoultely! too much make-up, but it was the 80s

[RandallLord]

@dmp160170 I don't think its the hair bob that makes her look good.

[loganoneil1]

[blackcoffy83]

Everytime I hear this song it puts me in a good mood :DD

[robertquentincobb]

And on top of having a Super Hit song, She's Hot. Whatever happened to them?

[FartFilledBalloons]

Sounds to much like Basia and @2:14 sounds like West End Girls from the Pet Shop Boys.

[centauro22ar]

29 PERSONAS, EN EL AÑO 1986, TODAVIA ESTABAN EN LOS HUEVOS DE SU PADRE..

[strykertool]

a very well deserved nominee for best new artist in a video at the mtv video music awards 1988. This is a fun and colorful video.

[SGREY1]

{{{ MY THEME MUSIC }}}

[hossola77]

I've always really liked this song! I can't recall her name, but the lead singer of 'Swing Out Sister' is one very pretty lady! :-)

[spajohnson]

@hossola77 Corinne Drewery this was a very fun video for a great song.

[Imegahan]

Innocence, joy, unencumbered abandon! Ah me. Now with time I realize that all I ever needed to learn in life is found in new wave/ 80's music (heard on WLIR back in the day).

[chingchangchongfly]

How they got that sound, I'll never know, but it's pure magic.

[frutteto1964]

amavo questa ragazza.... fantastica.... che anni meravigliosi...

[vegas2004]

Whenever i hear this song im immedietly transported back to when i left school in 1986 and was having the time of my life with no mortgage and only worry was when i'd get paid next.

[carpetime]

You can't stand still listening to this

[Imegahan]

@carpetime Which is why most of us were so much thinner then!

[mitsubishidiamante]

Oh how I miss the 80's

[sharptype]

Pure Class... That's all I can say.

[Sapphoria96]

80s sound is soooo wonderful, colorful and diverse......80s forever!!!!!!!!!!

[infidel1978]

I love the 80's tunes and this band are MANCS big up Manchester

[Jperrion24]

GOOD TIMES PEOPLE!!!! DONT 4get!

[tragik445]

1st time i seen this video since 1988!!! one of the most colorful videos eva lol luv the 80's real talk

[ferkco]

I think they might of come up with the "show stopper". No wonder there happy or gay or both but don't accuse any them of being joe sixpack. No sir.

[wooftorky]

@ todaysthename, not one hit wonders at all, do some research

[todaysname]

@3:32 - She's a Hobbit then, interesting.

One hit wonder but what a great record, it'll endure the test of time unlike todays dross.

[TheVisions888]

I used to love this song , she really could sing , I miss the eighties sound,

[uneedtherapy42]

cannot stop listening... must breakOUT....

[dallastexjr]

@sixstoriesfall That was me being compassionate. Oh, you wanted me to make the person feel self-indulgent. Sorry, but I get so tired of hearing the "life was better when..." crap. You're actually the jerk. Again, sorry for pointing out the obvious.

[mainerfreebird]

I was so in love with this video, and this song, and her look and everything! I was 18.

[how53225]

Thank you jhangirk. And skyswinger, the reason why I mentioned that is because many bible followers just shun secular music altogether thinking thats what they are suppose to do. Me on the other hand I just use my discretion. I shun songs that condone bad behavior/ sin etc. This song is positive and full of positive energy. That's why most people like it, guaranteed. I know a couple things about spellcasting, music, bible the world's religions etc.

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

@how53225 I would say IMO that I am a person of faith, but it never stops me enjoying life. I don't listen to the likes of Rihanna because she promotes bad things like sex and it's not good for young people to listen to this stuff, but I love LOTS of music of different types. I like music from the 60s right through to some from mid-''noughties'' however the chart music is dire now!

[66bluedonkeys]

I was at Art School when this was released, can't remember how many girls turned up to college the following week with the exact same haircut.... but how we did laugh....O.o

[uneedtherapy42]

80's videos need more camera mugging

[richards1965]

1986...!!?? where has time gone?

[pardonmygenie]

She reminds me of Cassandra from Fools & Horses...I liked her too

[firefieldmpt]

great song BG

[pogsboo]

sorry to be a Guy....but loved her hair>>>!!!

[65ecosse]

Does she read the weather now on TV???

[Chris234ify]

@65ecosse You're thinking Sian Lloyd; aren't you?....LOL

[65ecosse]

@Chris234ify

Ha, yeah that's it...

Must be her big mouth and similar hairstyle

Now imagine a weather screen behind her in this video and it's her doing the weather. LOL
