Phil Oakey lives near my friend; he has a weimarener and doesn't pick the dog shit up. I like the song though. Phil, if you read this, pick it up please.
If Phil ever drank himself to death and made friends with a hooker in the US, 'Leaving Las Vegas' could be his biopic. Don't do that though, Phil, write a kid's book instead.
if i'm ever lucky enough to meet the singer, he gets a cup of strong black coffee on me for giving us just the coolest song ever. Fab! (Based in London if wondering so prob miles away lol)
Ah! This song rocks! Ever since I saw the movie back in the 80's I could not get the song out of my head. I remember watching this movie with my first girlfriend, sure does bring back memories.... I wonder what happened to her, have not seen her since we broke up back in '86! But like the song says... "always be together in electric dreams..."
Little bit of trivia: the guy who walks into the DJ booth during the bridge and says "What the hell is going on?!" is Giorgio Moroder, the producer responsible for this and many other late 70's and early 80's classics.
Great for you ! I m in Belgium, is it possible to buy one version in french ? Would like so much. It is one of my favorite film ! Really. Since 10 years, i'm trying to buy (in french please) but no results. (English, why not, but not german nor deutsch). Is it possible. ?
Years after, lyrics seems to remain in my mind! Great song. The 80's are too good to be missed cause theu're still on youtube...that's better than nothing!
Don't let the nostalgia ruin your enjoyment of the present, bro. Find something to love about the here and now, and never forget what was awesome about the past.
Took my first proper girlfriend to see this film in 1984 ish. Song didn't come on till end credits but still remember holding her hand during the film thinking we would be together for ever.We aren't but 27 years on and still think of Mandy. What a sad old romantic i am.
from some reason we tend to think about our first things. I still have my first , second and third motorcycle. Allthough my first grilfriend was not that loyal. SoI am happy it ended. You should be too.
I loved this film. I went to it with my girlfriend, now already many years my wife. This was a time computers were mythical things and whizzkids were a sort of magicians. It's a very positive film, forgotten but not lost. Great music from the Human League.
OMG This takes me back to my first girlfriend when I was a kid. Especially when we went our seperate ways. I still wonder what she is doing now and its been 22 years or more
yes the 80s really were the good old days, none of this feminine shit pumped out of our tv 24/7 crap like x factor dancing on ice lol no wonder theres so many panseys out there these days
@jimmywjr Techinically, I think it's Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder. But, hey, I'm getting old and getting picky. Still a sweet song :) Makes me sad to remember being a kid when this was on the radio. I was invincible, then. Ah, lament.
lol so true broadside. Reckon 2:48 sums it all up. Yeah music was more fun and life was simpler and the coffee was stronger. Add this song and Mr Oakley, WOW you just made so many people dance and have fun. Great song. :)
He has such a classic "80s voice"
