Eight Seconds - Kiss You When It's Dangerous

[Bugs3232]

I was about 3 months away from going to Jr high when I first heard this song but it was played at every dance even when I hit high school because we loved it. The 80's was were the best for music movies clothes and teen night clubs.

[Dannymusic1999]

Back when MUCHMUSIC started.

[hightown67]

poor sound...But I miss this band !!



[MrRicher44]

i remember when i had to woking up at 6:00am to play hockey, it was the song who woke me up each time , and this song is still in my mind

[cjames665]

the best of the 80's

[canucksfan75]

could someone have not found a better clip of this song,the sound was terrible lol It's a great song just didn't enjoy hearing the muffling sound in the background!

[squinney]

I completely agree........THis song reminds me of when I was 19 years old and surfing on matagorda beach and riding my dirt bikes with my sister.....wow.....what a great song. I also has a brand new Pontiac Fire Bird that I drove around.....was FUN FUN FUN

[hummybear]

@squinney wow- theres no fun now.............life is a drag-80s were a blast

[hummybear]

@squinney wow

[mique8]

Good song but the sound is bad.

[SuperHandsam]

@mique8 I AGREE

[SuperHandsam]

@mique8 GO TO MAXI470 sounds 100% better

[javelin1010]

Include underappreciated Cdn songs such as Night to Remember- Prism, Fantasy- Aldo Nova, Toyko Rose-Idle Eyes..groups Body Electric, Frozen Ghost ,Sherriff, Chilliwack etc etc etc. I have over 6,000 vinyl albums and singles with just about every Cdn hit ever made since 1970. Some before that era also.

@javelin1010

hi javelin1010 i was hope you could help me out since you have so much knowledge about cdn bands: when i lived in vancouver (from 81-97) i remember this band's video where the lead singer, looking cool wearing a dark woolen trench coat, was singing atop a floating barge probably somewhere near vancouver. would you know which band and what song i'm talking? it could be 'images in vogue' but i can't seem to find that video here. i hope you can help. thanks!

[brown4810]

In my opinion one of the most under rated and uknown bands in Canadian history. This song is so unique for so many reasons. I remember hearing it for the first time in 1988 and it left me breathless. It still does. Hold on to those records/CDs as long as you can.

[jsbx5]

Wow..so this band didnt' really hit in Canada back in the day? Really suprising...we really loved them out here in Northern & Central California back in the day!

[brown4810]

Well the band hit Canada. They were from Ottawa and came out of now where and left the same way! They were an enigma. Obviously very talented. I was actually surprised to see this song posted and...it took a Californian to do it! Way to Go!!!!!

[newwavenympho]

i was searching for one of my absolute favorite songs (burning flame and saw that you have an even more favorite song of mine-this song is just amazing-i can listen to it over and over :) thank you....

[passionateaboutmusic]

Great song!!! Have never heard it before. What year was this on MTV? I was very busy raising two little hooligans, starting in 1986!! Not much time to watch TV back then....they're 23 and 17 now.....now there is time to cruise YouTube to see what music I missed and the other fantastic music that was the soundtrack of my youth!

[jsbx5]

Really? You never heard this before? How did you come across this then?

[passionateaboutmusic]

Don't really remember....just cruising YouTube.....the title sounded interesting....heard the song and fell in love with it.....fantastic tune!! I wonder if it got airplay on the radio....chances are I might of heard it in the car while running errands and being distracted by the first-born little hooligan!!! LOL! He would have been two years old in 1988.....TERRIBLE TWOS!!!!

[zoldes]

Not MTV. Much Music. I have the same RSVP

[passionateaboutmusic]

Also.... I found a much clearer and better-sounding vid of this....I fav'd it on my channel.....check it out! Thanks!

[sexylipsseven]

Love, Love this song. Does anyone know when it will be available on itunes. Just did a search and they don't exsist :( I am also Canadian so if anyone has info please respond thanks:)

[veritaslost]

I really liked the song Tell Diane..wish someone could post more of their stuff

[flon57]

OMG, this song and the Arrows Never Be Another One, my 2 of my favourite songs from the 80's, and both bands Canadian, even cooler

[Etriaph]

I have the CD Almacantar, it's a very rare thing to find it but it's an official CD. Each of their songs have this quality, yet their own distinct sound. This band really is tremendous.

[jsbx5]

I agree..this album really struck a chord with me and still does.

[weirdscience85]

@Etriaph- I can't find it here in Vancouver, looked for it today, doesn't even come up on HMVs computer! what the hell is that

[squinney]

This song is RARE....Amazing. I have this on Cassette....have not found a video better

[wetbobo]

Oh yeah, and another little known fact: Andy, the lead singer, actually had an audio production company post-Eight Seconds and has written some amazing corporate jingle stuff. Ottawa Senators fans have him to thank for the entire roman centurian entrance trumpet theme 'Buh-duh-da-duh-DAAAAA"

Also, Frank (aka 'Fish') runs Canada's most successful indie music distribution service called Indie Pool out of Toronto.

And, of course, these guys worked a LOT with Alanis in her formative days.

[beekerxox]

The Senators song was actually written by the brothers of the base player (March Cesare).

[wetbobo]

I know all these guys real well. Back in the 80s/90s, Ottawa had a very tight-knit music community, and one of the tightest knit was the teamwork between very close friends of the Eight Seconds and One To One/Sals Birdland/Artificial Joy Club 'crews'. Essentially, best of friends and always hanging out at their mutual studios. You'll notice a lot of cross-referencing in the album credits.

[wolfie509]

This is a great song! "Kiss You When It's Dangerous" would have made a great title for a james bond movie...and this song could have been the theme.....

[tattypatty]

Ottawa's finest, baby...

[cholling]

Golden shower at 00:53? Well, at least these guys had one decent eighties tune. The main keyboard melody makes it instantly recognizable.

[rockybudgeboa]

LOVE this song. Whatever happened to these guys?

[themazer]

this keyboard riff must have inspired the synth music in SNES game Shadowrun

[8204914]

good effort how about some thought about better audio

[gregkihn]

FM Dreamgirl is up too - equally awesome from the era. Check it out!

[ACD605]

Reminds me of old CFNY!

[tubero2569]

i had seen this video in Eurorock videos Phils.long time ago in My High school days & heard it on radio station(NU 107).HAD 1 vinyl lp collection.-OLAN

[billandmel]

A Canadian band formed in Ottawa during the early Eighties!!

[squinney]

YES...I wore this casette tape out. The summer of 1985 I had a brand new red firebird. I grew up near Corpus Christi Texas and remember driving on the beach listeningto this tape.....what great memories!!

[JJJJay]

Ah yes, RSVP!

Anyone remember when Much Music USED to be cool with great shows like this? :)

What a great tune ... definate memory music!

[squinney]

YES...I wore this casette tape out. The summer of 1985 I had a brand new red firebird. I grew up near Corpus Christi Texas and remember driving on the beach listeningto this tape.....what great memories!!

[MaliBootyz]

OMG it was on RSVP (Request a Son for Video Play) on MuchMusic! I miss those days, I remember the opening song by Debbie Gibson and Erica Ehm was host for the longest time... oh yeah and Steve Anthony and well Master T and everyone!!! LOL!... This song is awesome but damn it brought me back to RSVP times, haha... :)

[MaliBootyz]

I meant song not Son haha...

[sexylipsseven]

I am glad that I am not the only one who thinks that the lead singer is cute;) LOL!This is a great song, brings me back to when I was very young in the 80s.

[Ecossaise]

Andres Del Castillo was really hot, a lot more attractive then most lead singers of bands today. What happened to him ?

[cholling]

He died from the golden shower shown at 00:53 in this vid.

[Ecossaise]

Oh dear ... a bit crude of a comment but funny nevertheless ! :D

[fembotzcanada]

this song is still on my homemade cd's! i love it,it is in the stlye of johnny hates jazz et al... 80's music still rocks! and the lead singer is cute ! or, was cute, it's beeb 20 yrs ! lol !

[Migalss]

This song is a gem, for its kind, it's one in a million

[Meathead36]

Awesome song, not an easy one to find.

[lizismestupid]

A long time ago, someone told me this song was Oingo Boingo and I believed them for years... Now I can distinguish Danny Elfman's voice in my sleep so I set out to find out who really does this song. Pretty awesome.

[fendercarlin]

I was told the same.. it does have an oingo sound to it.. maybe like cheap knock off.. not to dismiss this song.. its pretty good, just saying it's not as great as anything Danny has done :D

[tesubcalle]

I never even dreamed there was a video for this 80s gem. Thanks for posting.

[Lynnie245]

DAMN I love this song!!!

[laverdura69]

i love this song, i'm in love again god bless

[ellocomalandro]

los 80as , la mejor epoca , para mi no pasa de moda esta musica , sigan subiendo ok,,

[mauriciorapdo]

the sound of this group is a somekind mix of british groups like Ultravox & The Fixx; so melodic, but too melancholic at the same time

[alberta12]

I am in love again, and this song says it all, I am happy to have found it,

Thanks

[Delisle4]

I like this song but surely you must be able to do something about the sound quality...c'mon!!!

[LisabugT]

Bad sound quality... I don't even care. I'm just so happy to hear this song. Wow!

[Delisle4]

I love this song but the sound quality is awfull!!...Do something!

[nevmiles]

LOVE THIS song.......... and I love the old MuchMusic RSVP graphic! Bring back the good old MuchMusic when they PLAYED VIDEOS and not these crappy teeny-bopper oriented reality show-type crap

[Kalenedral]

One of my all time 80's faves. Too bad the sound sucks SO bad.

[TrainmasterCurt]

This song is so rare to see in vid form, it reminds me of my beloved ex- Laura McDowell who i wish i could be reunited with

[mravka9]

wow thanks for the memories...

[ellocomalandro]

good remembers, i feel good................

[DarkCloak]

As would befit such an expression of the 80s..."TOTALLY AWESOME!!!" I *LOVE* this tune and I rank it very highly. I heard it once in August 1986 late one night on the radio after just recently moving to the Jersey Shore that summer. This song embodies some of the best that New Wave had and has to offer. Very haunting, melodic, and evocative in a pop song context. I actually found the cd "Alamacantar" for cheap several years later. Seeing the video on here is a bonus. Kudos and Thanks!

[DieSekunde]

Thaml you for putting the video up. Its been in my head for awhile and this just makes it better. I agree, one of the best 80's songs

[jsbx5]

You're welcome! Definitely one of the best.

[northerncrush]

Dude, I must say, amazing track. I remember getting this song as promo track on a compilation cd Technics gave me when my parents bought our "home theatre" back in 1990. I finally saw the video - it all adds to the flavour of the era.

:)

[MaLuisa32]

i like this song , as much time looking for, thanks

[jsbx5]

You're welcome once again!

[mobzapper]

WOW!!! What dragon infested dungeon did you dig this gem out of? I haven't heard this song since the mid 80's I was messing around on Youtube and typed it on a whim and here it is. Thanks for posting it.

[jsbx5]

hah! Off of an ancient format known as an old 'vhs'..glad you enjoyed this..I see you're in the states, how did you hear of this band? Or are you from Canada originally?

[mobzapper]

I only heard this song once back in 1986 I think on MTV but forgot the band name. Yes that was here in the states. And for some reason it stuck in my head. I thought it was Oingo Boingo all these years on some B-Side out of print record so gave up on ever finding it until I typed it in the search window on Youtube.

[jsbx5]

Hah! I don't really hear the Oingo reference so much, but hey, glad I could clear that mystery up for you!

[FSerrago]

Oh I love this song! I have not heard it in decades! God thank you for posting it!

[jsbx5]

You're welcome! Great band...Thanks for the note..

[djraf2003]

Ahhh...Fall of '86. Saw the group open for Wang Chung in Milwaukee. Took the boys nightclubbing after the show & then joined them the next night in Chicago! Top memories!

[jsbx5]

Very cool! No way, they toured here in the States?? I had no idea..wish I could have seen them...what a drag..

[sloppyjakekisses]

Awesome! This was one of my favourite songs! Thanks for posting it!!!

[jsbx5]

You're very welcome! Great band right?

[KillingJoke696]

Thought this was the The Fixx, but whatever nice upload.

[jsbx5]

Wow..so you thought this was the Fixx this whole time? Crazy! Glad I could clear that one up for ya..this band's album was really great btw..

[alexwarner1]

I was born in December of 87, but I back this band hard. I love how you've got this original much recording. That's unreal!! Upload so more stuff, including hosts, commercials, and others stuff. Nostalgia is great!

[JJJJay]

Hey jsbx5!

Well, Much Music is trying to be like MTV in some regards but at the same time they play all of what's popular at the moment w/alot of overkill. The specialty shows aren't bad but recently they brought back Electric Circus and it's absolutely terrible.

[jsbx5]

hah! Wow..cant' say I'm surprised..well, hey, MTV doesn't even play videos anymore, sounds like they at least do that, although if it's all the same corporate rock..what's the point right?? AAAAHH! What is Electric Circus??

[JJJJay]

My God ... talk about memories! :)

I miss RSVP not this MOD crap they have on Much now. Back when Much Music was way, way cool! :)

[jsbx5]

I hear ya..that was a great show!..that's how I got all these rare videos..By the mid 80's...Much was WAAYY better than MTV! MTV went all commercial, totally sold out. I'm not from Canada and haven't seen Much since the early 90's..I was curious, what's it like now?

[Mishi45]

The album was called Almacantar.

[mybasshas7strings]

Geeez, what was the album called? I had it on tape, I can see the cover in my head perfectly. They were from Montreal weren't they? I remember really digging this tune for the bass track, wicked!

[gretoe]

OMG! This was my absolute favorite song in 1986 or 87. Haven't heard it or seen this vid since then. Thank you Thank you Thank you! (I've already listened to it 3 times in a row - and will continue to do so.

[jsbx5]

wow..that's wild! You're very welcome..I loved this band, Almacantar is still one of my all time favorite albums!

[jsbx5]

This was from a VHS recorded in LP mode back in the 80's...sorry, just lucky to even have a copy of this at all..

[Peorhum]

great tone-watch those volume settings when you record a video people :)

[Peorhum]

oops-make that great tune

[commiered]

This song is fucking AMAZING!

[Ecossaise]

Greaaaaaaaat band !!! Whatever happened to Andres Del Castillo ? (think I spelled that name right)
