[GoldenEagle469]

I like Shannon, but this song is fake. They were looking for and thought they had a hit.

[JJColb]

@GoldenEagle469 That's why it was number 1 for two weeks in the clubs. :/

[hardtechnoboy]

Uh memories of jr. high. Took a computer class with that same briefcase-sized PC. Dual floppy drives where you had to load the OS before you could do anything...those where the days. Now we get pissed of Windows 7 doesn't load up instantly...

[calvinjohnson05]

DAMN, THEY HAD INTERNET, 0:34. LOL.

[chbtrucker]

@calvinjohnson05 In 1985 a fast modem was about 3.5 kbps

[hubbaman9885]

@chbtrucker And having 128k for memory was considered allot, I remember them days. lol/

[Yobachi2007]

@calvinjohnson05

LOL!

Well the internet did exist back then, but hardly anyone knew about except researchers, and tech geeks.

[cjs33139]

@calvinjohnson05 I know... if Shannon had had internet, she wouldn't be so bored at work and want to get swept away by a black guy with a limo. lol :)

[zwartepiet412]

my god look at those bouncing titties in the beginning..  her videos never failed to get me hard

[soxmonki]

Classic - if you wanna see 40-somethings do their own version of a Flash Mob Dance scene - broadcast this - they will make the choice - and they will do it ... :) I will be one of them ... hehe

[hardtechnoboy]

Gotta LOL at the guitar players sleeveless gloves and the PC the size of a suitcase! Still, Shannon was the shit back then. Beyonce and Rihanna who?

[starfyre05]

shannon rocks,lady gaga who?

[MarcyJenn]

Do you wanna get away is another beautiful song by Shannon. I have always loved her songs.

[1991Dalina]

simple, original and the best. 80' rule for ever. Yesssssssss Thanks for this wonder of God. 

[wtfmfer]

Shannon owned it..

lmao @ the guitarist.

[clickclarkable]

[TheDavrey1818]

[jfsandovalm]

[111coolavery]

[swimjockey]

You gotta love the 80's. The music rocked! Upbeat and happy, for the most part!

[sandinovive1000]

damn it i wanna go back to those days! anybody has a time machine?

[sherp96]

Считаю эту песню одним из лучших хитов 80-х, спасибо! Thank you!

[petersedin]

this vid is so fukking rasist... fat ugly evil white guy.. stereotype..

love the song thoe..

[anacondajohnson]

@petersedin lol

[MADDOG6400]

When people upload work from Shannon, it's always, "Let the Music Play." I like how people also recognize this one.

THANK YOU!

[mrgt71]

@MADDOG6400 i miss the 80s so much ... i got a tear in my eye

[1963TNT]

Fm&Am radio reinvented itself in the 80s and artists like Shannon and Madonna &Duran Duran & many many others were the reason why.There really hasn't been a music revolution snce then.The only decade that even comes close is the 90s with the emergence of the grunge/garage bands...1980-1989 gone but NEVER forgotten!

[adamyoung103187]

1:12 was some Freddy Kruger shit. lol

[heatfilter]

@adamyoung103187 Poltergeist

[MustangChris30]

I love the looks she gives her boss at :25 then she rolls her eyes. Love it. This songs stays in my head.

[shmuli9]

I had this 45... I kind of like this one better than "Let The Music Play" , mostly because "Music" is overplayed... kind of like "Sister Christian" or "Relax" (or anything by Wham).

[DMFSR1967]

I must say , 80's and 90's music is all i really listen to ..any genre ! And yes , this IS a classic .

[DMFSR1967]

I must say , 80's and 90's music is all i really listen to ..any genre ! And yes , this IS a classic .

[bigrod67]

Classics!!!!

[nottommyb]

That computer she's using shuts it down!

[mrsunshineshines]

Just another in an long endless line of 80's dance classics...

[yqw1mfk]

the 80's videos were soo awesome!!

[camaciano]

i still love this

[tpen70]

That is still the jam

[2muchlv41]

hi energy all the way from san jose ca, gustavo y carlos gina and gus.

[camaciano]

shes sexy as hell i love this too

[raypanzer521]

the 80,magic

[lana1350]

I love this song, she was the hottest female artist when she was out. One hit after another. I use to work in a store Downtown Brooklyn when I was a teen, and she use to come in and buy clothes for her mother all the time. She was very nice and friendly, but that was years after her career over but she looked exactly the same. I believe she is from the Fort Green or Bed Stuy area of Brooklyn.

[AnimalsRightToDance]

Beautiful song. Big mistake to make the red dislikes visible because its negativity for those who like the song

[ondinadelmar100]

so many memories... I love this song.

[ThomsonBreaker]

I LoVe Shannon ;D

[80sbreaker]

DarthMacchio's i agree with you all these 90s and 200s sons of a bitches r simply copying 80s intellectual music and remixing it nothing now is original just remixes from 80 artist by 90 and 2000s biters suck my cock all u mother fuckers i work at mac donalds i hate it

[carlenemadusa12]

@thegeneralofsound where can i be so that you can tell me these words

[et306]

classic.

[Therealanimale]

The title in the vid itself says 1984 instead of 1985.

[TranzPink007]

A M A Z I N G S O N G ! 

[chojin10]

[fibimarie]

[carlenemadusa12]

[gabrieldedalos]

toxic avenger - escape

shame all the ones on youtube have the title bu they are the bloody beetroots remix

[fagarass]

@XxM4TTYxX Really? Is that a song or song track from a movie?

[XxM4TTYxX]

@fagarass how u mean? toxic avenger - escape is a song but everyone that has it on youtube is wrong and its the remix... this song (the chorus) is sampled in the song . check it out, try it on itunes search toxic avenger escape

[TheCyberbedouin]

wata beginning,

wataa synth melody in intro,

and swing voice,

oh my god give me the time machine,

to return this moment to be forever.

[fagarass]

@TheCyberbedouin You get 10's across the board for that analogy! Make sure you save me a seat in that time machine(lol)!!!!

[TheCyberbedouin]

@fagarass

Tesla made it passable...

[hestabaina]

They had nice computers back then. I still want one of those vintage ones.

[ATRAINC]

@onecoolgreek she performed live on Fox and Friends(FNC)last year spring 2009

in NYC.

[Spugester26]

Vive la 80's and Miami Vice, take me back there! Loved this track in Miami Vice, I don't belong to the 2010's, only shitty autotune music and rap here!

[racegt1]

@Spugester26 Dude, just saw that episode night, i believe it was "stones war", season 3, song played in the Testarossa scene.

[resqubklyn1]

[SuperThunder67]

I wanna get away " to the 80s " great song :))

[jerjanz]

love live the 80s!

[hdug86989]

0:14 sounds like:"do you wanna get away, do you wanna was gay"

[uluvbs]

at 3:05, when she sings, "I don't want to....", there is a well-known song that steals that melody, but I can't I think which one it is. Any ideas?

[fagarass]

MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIMES! I LOVED ME SOME SHANNON!

[JadeGreenKitty]

i miss them too , nothing compares to the dance music from then

[ATRAINC]

Classic joint from Shannon!Video shot in New York in April 1985.

[funkysmr]

[SuperThunder67]

Ya guys your´re right ,80s for ever , it was a powerfull decade of music :))

[jerjanz]

[MacGyver80ssssss]

[Aelkamal]

Que paquetiada los videos de la epoca, aunque la musica es buenissima!

[djfuzzems]

[isdfgbsdf]

I cant buy this song on itunes in the US......WTF??????

help help help.......I need this song on my fing ipod

[StoogeWatcher]

Can't believe this wasn't a Top 40.

[bobeee1969]

@StoogeWatcher the video sunk this song......even by 1980's standards this was a cheesy video.....always thought this was one of the most underated tunes of 80's.....but image was everything back then

[iti4lyf1]

this song is soooo good and totally underrated!! i wish i was alive in the 80s =/

[Gbic3blitz]

lol 35 years ago dang

[inbetweentics]

freestyle forever!

[amatop2000]

her best song... in my opinion.

[eldorado303]

here we go!

[eldorado303]

they will NEVER find US

[eldorado303]

this is TOO FRESHHHH

[Grandam1999]

I first watch this video when, then famous U68 channel in the eastern NJ played it. I fell in love with the song, but I forgot the name of the song and I've been searching for it for ages. Thanx for posting this. A great song that, to me, is overshadowed by 2 of her bigger smash hits, Let the music play and Give me tonight.

[GMS1230]

totally agree.......I dont think I have gone more than a week without listening to it since it came out ! LOL..."Urgent" on the same album is also awesome

[Duke1966]

hummm... i think Mel Gibson yelled EIGHTIEEEEEEEEEESSS at end of the movie Braveheart.. Don't you agree? ;)

[birdy369]

jeeeeez....this kinda music makes my heart beat fast! jimi tunnells voice is genius. cant even explain it.
