  • BEST ERASURE SONG. JUST SAYIN'.

  • long live 1988!

    and fuck hungarian people!

  • Absolutely one of my favorites!!!!!!! Love Love LOVE IT!!!!!

  • One of the best concerts I EVER! NO ONE EVEN TOUCHED THEIR SEATS !! We DANCED THE WHOLE TIME!! I LOVE ERASURE!!! XXXXXXXXXOOOOOO

  • This song is a BAD ASS CLASSIC!!!!!!

  • man, they really got weird with their videos didnt they?

  • Going to see them in BOSTON tomorrow at the House of Blues. I have been following the band since the 80's but this is my first time seeing them live and I can hardly wait. Long live all the talent of the 70's and 80's !

  • Erasure hit #12 in Billboard, 10-29-88. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

  • Directed by the very one and only Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (R.I.P.)

  • Thank you for this, i used to listen to erasure over and over in my car in the 80s...brings back memories

  • Comment removed

  • It actually IS distorted. I listened to others and they were fine. You could have your recording volume when you rip cds too loud.

  • ERASURE FOREVER!! IN MEMORY OF M FATHER :D (ps he wasn't gay it was just times like this :D

  • I was in a Sephora yesterday in the early morning, right after it opened. This song came on and they turned it up, I was rockin' with all the gay guys in there.

  • ok, its not gay the politically correct word is = fashion. LOL

  • Great dance hit, I can remember dancing it in gay bar in the 90´s

  • Excellent! This is the good stuff! Too much crap out there these days. They need to get back to what music is all about and that is making you feel better about life and invoking the things that make us human. Today's music, especially rap/hiphop, does nothing but lower humans to the lowest common denominator and is about nothing but sex and their money and their "bitches" and their Escalades. Let's get back to the good stuff.

  • The guy below me is DEAF.

  • Tee hee.

  • @dirkdigler21 I think he was being sarcastic.

  • Um, the sound quality is like, really good on this. Two Thumbs way up from jedimaterbooboo.

  • Quintessential Erasure.

    Now.....we dance.

  • was there really a conversation on if he was gay like it mattered the last i looked the band is still packing the dance floor at retro night great dance music

  • that would be fun swinging around like that:)

  • 1 of the very best voices and band was gay - Queen!!!!

  • andy bell had such an awesome voice. and as for his sexuality, so effing what? it's the music and the records that matter- not who they choose to sleep with

  • I totally agree with you. I listen to Pop 20 hits all of the time. I love this band.

  • amoo esta cancion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I always LOVED Erasure!

  • OMG - Vince is playing a CASIO!!!!!

  • I love Erasure!

    Honestly, what does it matter if someone's gay or straight? A good musician is a good musician, give 'em their propers!

    The only things that spread AIDs are ignorance & unsafe sex. It's not a 'gay' problem, get over it.

  • hey Jarhead, I think blackwater has an opening for a ignorant meathead!

  • SOUND DISTORTION

    Turn the volume down next time.

  • it's ripped straight from dvd

  • love and liberty

  • Um the number one group of newly affected people who are dying of AIDS are Women who Identify as Straight.... They catch it from Men who've been forced to pretend they're straight or from Straight Men who are just slutty... So, If you're a female be carefull slut, the AIDS is still here, hahaaaa

  • I wish i knew who the fuck you were i'd fucking kick the shit out of you. I think people like you should be wiped off the face of the fucking earth IGNORENT CUNT!

  • Why is it that every time a song is sung by a gay person on youtube it has to be mentioned. Whats really weird is, if people are so anti gay why do they look up the gay bands on youtube.

  • @JarheadMarine And so? Is it a big deal?

  • we have such a talented community!!!

  • me encanta esta cancion.......

  • this was an era and if nobody can reconize then we are fucked !

  • i LOVE this song

    great&pretty *O*

  • one of there best songs from the innocents!!!

  • Ok first of all, you don't see a specialist if you're gay, there's nothing wrong with gay people. Secondly, it's "a" specialist, not "an" specialist. Maybe you should see a school teacher?

  • Typical woman's fantasy, a bunch of HOT men tied up with chains. SEXY SEXY SEXY!!!! I WANT.

  • This is the best song of Erasure, the great problem is that...It doesn't matter, this song reminds me so many parties, dancing till the next day.....

  • gay imagination and talent are so great!

  • I was thinking the same thing. These guys are so GAY!! It's a great song and still funny.

  • hell yea me and my girlfriend we love to dance to this song when we go to the gay bars

  • Blast from the wonderful past!!!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! That's what music is all about!!

  • Amen "hunterx"....fantastic combo!

  • Vince Clarke + Andy Bell = Awesome duo, awesome track. This kind of track and video rarely exists nowadays in radio & MTV. I don't give a damn if Andy is a gay but he's simply awesome. Vince Clarke is a genius whether a Depeche Mode or Erasure.

  • Vince wanted to go more pop, and Depeche wanted to go more dark. They split & Vince obviously did great producing these gems!

  • Like: Oh my fuckin god! I used to listen this song in my childhood 1000 times at day!!Awesome song, from one ex depeche!!

  • Vince Clark = Legend

  • cool people like this song

  • I like this song but I suffer from an under-active coolness gland :(

    I am current adressing my handicap with agressive medical intervention.

  • lol

  • lovely tune

  • man i love this song for some reason

  • My favorite Erasure song in the world!!!!!

  • erasure make great music a very talent people i love every song of them

  • club hoppin' on Thursday nights when I should have been in the dorm studying! Man, this song was wonderful to jam to!! Love it! Thanks for the memories!!!

  • GREAT song, one of my fav's! Dude is uncomfortable with the chains, his head keeps have encounters with them...this must have been way uncomfortable! I hope no one had a fear of heights :-)

  • Awesome song from ages ago.

  • It's a brilliant song. And you can almost hear Jimmy Somerville screaming his falsetto support all the way through it.

    Top stuff.

  • WOW! Thanks for posting this song. It brings back so many great memories. I really miss the 80's and yes its a time when music did not suck..it was fun....Thanks again..and PS. who cares if the dude is gay....big deal!

  • Dude! Listen the song! do you like it???

    No matter if he is gay or not, ok?

    I'm not gay but my gf and me listened erasure many years ago.

    Good luck!!

  • FerCHofeDerMan you are right only homopobes hate Erasure but they made some great music and when they first came out even the strait playas hittin on chicks jammed this im strait but me and my girl are getting down to this right now and having a great time....its a psitive upbeat love song for all! ♥

  • its not gayyou know it ws the shit whe it was fresh

  • ERASURE RULE, and it don't matter that Andy's gay, who the fuck cares, he rules

  • me and my best friend kaoreke'd? to this, but the 80's are the flippin jam!,eh?

  • Brings back memories. lol

  • days would last forever.................

  • "Do you remember there was a tiiiiiime..." when music didn't suck...oh yeah, it was the 80's.

  • Oh, what a great video!!!! I love it!!!

  • Harry C's 1992, Riverside CA...Poorman, KROQ

  • i remember those days so well. haven't been there in awhile. i was around the corner in moval.

  • I have loved erasure for so long it never gets old to hear the classic originals! Thanks for putting this on.

  • Love this song,and though I would not consider myself an Erasure fan,they had good songs.I want to ask which was better:Erasure or Wham!?

  • Well ask urself who had the most hits and still going strong after 20 YES 20years .... i think i know answer .... But Wham fans wont agree ,music fans will tough ...........

  • Erasure has outlived Wham by many years,no doubt it is just fact.Which is better is a matter of opinion,some like both.But George Michael is far bigger artist than Andy Bell/Vince Clark combined,having sold 80-100 million records,while Erasure 25 million.

  • Did u forget u asked a question who was better Erasure or Wham ( I want to ask which was better:Erasure or Wham!? and not who is better Erasure,Wham OR George Micheal ..

  • There is no better. It boils down to what the person preferes to hear. Some like Erasure, some like Wham and some like George Micheal.

  • Ask an Erasure fan and he/she'll say 'Erasure', and vice versa

  • How about they all suck in everyway

  • Ons mans meat is another mans poison.

  • UNA DE MIS BANDAS FAVORITAS ME ENCANTA

  • U know whats wierd is how it sounds like Alison Moyet singing this, good song.

  • yeah, apparently that's why vince chose andy.

  • I forgot about this song. I love it! THANKS FOR POSTING!

  • Easily one of my favorites Erasure songs. They dont make music like this anymore :(

  • ditto

  • I so agree with you! Please someone take me back to...i don't know...1985 or something! The 80's RULE!

  • The 80s will always rule so long as they live on in your heart.

  • awesome

  • Me encanta esta canción!!!!! Es "de ambiente", por ende, perfecta para bailarla!

    No soy gay, pero estos señores me encantan!!!!

  • Bien dicho Clachita :)

  • you just gotta love the swirly videos of the 80's. hip hip don't stop all the worlds a candy shop. take me back and put the top down....it's a beautiful day to sing.

  • One of the bands greatest singles, Chains Of Love!!! The single became a hit when it reached #4 on the Dance/Disco Charts back in '88. If you guys like this sound, believe me when I say you'll also like, Celebrate The Nun, Kon, Kan, Information Society, Cause & Effect, Dead Or alive, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, New Order, Peter Shcilling's The Different Story (World Of Lust And Crime) [Razormaid Mix], Real Life, Human League... I could go on but don't have the time.

  • funny you mention it, 'cause I love all those bands too!

  • I love this song, Love Andy Bell, but man, this reminds me of HELLRAISER

  • Love it!!THANK YOU:)

  • I never realized what a cutie the singer is (and I'm a straight chick!)

  • Me too! Long live the 80's

  • Do you remember?...I DO!

  • Don't give up!

  • si da ganas de tonear con esa musica, que vivan los 80s

  • Still fabulous after all these years !

  • Lol the chains keep brushing him :)

    GREAT SONG!!!!!!

  • Great club memories associated with this group...always got people on the floor.

  • amo a este grupo

  • Erasure ROCKS dude!

  • EXCELLENT!!!!

  • I think that the older music is better than some of the newer stuff. Especilly rap. (Sorry can't spell). No offense to any rap fans.

  • thats ok ... screw those rap assholes

  • Ahhhh... gald you agree. Just to let you know I'm a female not a m,ale like everyone thinks I am.

  • its unbelivable that this song was their most successfull song in the usa reaching #12 on the billboard hot 100

  • Ahhh, me pongo a bailar ahoritaaaaa....como hace casi 15 años, q buena canción!!! Erasure es muy importante para mi, me divertí demasiadoooo...

  • MY FAV SONG OF THESE MUCHACHOS

  • They are good aren't they.

  • !!SAOOOOOOO!!!!

  • It's really great to see and hear all the 80's music videos again, I can remember most of them. The 90's didn't seem to have the same impact for some reason.

  • This describes the 80s in a nutshell!

  • drmba,your bang on the money

  • Great song....

  • comments always get blown out of proportion on youtube...

  • agreed

  • **Andy Bell**

  • I'm not gay! but I love this song!

  • For some reason you had to assure everyone here that you're not gay. Why?

  • This song rocks ! What do you think about other Erasure songs ?

  • I don't know any other Erasure songs, but I like this one. And I think Chicanobrown is a sexually insecure jackass

  • He's mentioning his straightness as a testament to how good this song is. Even a straight man such as himself gives the thumbs up, despite the fact that he has to watch a gay man singing as he listens to this high quality music.

  • Okay, whatever.

  • This song rocks ! What do you think about other Erasure songs ?

  • yer exaxtly dirthpool...im straight as hell, and i love Erasure.....chicanobrown, wots ur sexuality gotta 2 do with liking a band or a certain bands song....jst goz ASndy Bell is gay, u had 2 mention u werent, so wot if he is

  • I think Chicky was just kidding around. I thought it was funny. Cause the bies are queer as hell hhahaha. so relax wa

  • I mean no diss! !I was born and raised in san francisco! I like this music! why u hatin on me? I'm not homophobic! the castro! folsom steet fair! no more hate!

  • Hey, most of my straight friends from SF tend to mention heterosexuality like i talked about being a big dyke in 7th grade...i feel you. Plus, like, being from SF=the best roots you can have in the States.

  • thank you for your kind words!

  • Souix Falls I'm guessing?

  • Irish!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Song!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love this song, the sound sucks though!

  • alto teeeemmmmmmmaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

  • omg hells yeah.....i loooove this song

  • whoohooo class of 89!

  • As a gay man I kinda resent some of these comments. Why should it matter who one has feelings for? it doesn't make them any better or worse then someone who is strait.

  • No gay haters here dude. I'm strait and work in the entertainment industry. Half my friends are gay. My boss is gay and my agent is gay.

    If I were to hate gays I might as well go dig ditches for living, because i wouldn't be to sucessful out here in Los Angeles.

  • Dude...I'm just tired of "gay" always being pushed down my throat by left wing wack job liberals who feel guilty for 1000 years of straight white people ruling the world.

    For example...gay parades. Its 2007...who cares. Shut the hell up and get back to work. I've got mutual funds that you to work...not demostrate or 'be free'.

  • You sound like a big fucking closet case to me, "active." Just embrace your homosexuality, dude. LOL!

  • This song rocks ! What do you think about other Erasure songs ?

  • This is not just a song that you listen for the musical notes. It's a video complete with dancers, etc. Had he been straight with some hot females there with him, the video would have been even more appealing than it is. This being said, the song itself, from a musical standpoint, is excellent.

  • Great song but did they have to make the video so fucking gay?

  • Yes, that's my complaint. Other than that, it's a great song.

  • Its a gay band what did you expect?

  • Vince isn't gay.

  • Its about the MUSIC not the lifestyle...AMEN! & I am staight! I like Erasure Soft Cell Bronski Beat ...so there!

  • OMG...Love this song. Brings back memories of my clubbing days. Their talent is what is important not the lifestyle. Erasure Long Live!!

  • I only in the last few months have started to look up my favorite songs on youtube. Growing up, I just enjoyed listening to music on the radio, without necessarily knowing the name of the group or song, or even the lyrics, let alone knowing what was going in the private lives of the musicians. Now that I'm in my 40's, I'm finally starting to pay attention to that stuff.

  • love this song.

  • I love this song, but the lack of pretty women dangling from the chains led me to google this band, and my fears were confirmed: the lead singer is gay. Oh well, the song is great though, so that's something.

  • Andy Bell has been out of the closet for decades. Where have you been?

  • "...my fears were confirmed..."

    What's so scary about discovering that someone is gay?

  • Andy Bell had us groovin to this in the stands at the Gay Games here in Chicago last year. EVERYONE was singing this in the crowd! It was amazing

  • He looks like shite these days.
