Loverboy - Notorious

[paulisphotoman]

who is the gorgeous brunette at 3:10 (with black skirt and white top) ????

[PorkaZil]

Bon Jovi wrote this song and if you listen you will hear Jon Bon Jovi's voice.

[tarheelsTM]

great song! also great video

[7dwwtb7]

Those were the days!

[80fever]

WILD SIDE IS A GREAT HARD ROCK ALBUM

[carlosnkim]

just incredible is all i can say

[CanadianLiz01]

David Fincher also directed some Madonna vids.

[iflymig25]

memories !!!!!!!!!

[MarcoTUV]

i was in love of the girl seated on the top of the sportscar...

[Kammerz10]

I remember when they posted this video on MTV, I went CRAZY!!!!!!!

[kenexile]

This was my sat.night!! In the BIG 80s

[DaveWollenberg]

This hit has somethin' in common with Restless heart's 'I'll still be lovin' you'. Both were cowritten by Nashville songwriter, Todd Cerney. Anyway, 'Notorious' hit #38 in the US. How'd it do in Canada?

[LeafRapids82]

This has gotta be a Molson Canadian rocks commercial from 88.

I love this era!!!!

[hotnwildkissez1]

these guys are hot

[ldelcarmen]

video directed by David Fincher who directed SEVEN and BENJAMIN BUTTON

[wawrzyniec89]

written by jon bon jovi and richie sambora from bon jovi

[erich84502]

Sounds like they were riding the 80s hard rock wave! Didn't Richie Sambora write this song?

[hwgatw68]

and hot babes in almost every video that decade. Hell yeah!!

[suspensiondude]

well said!

[paulisphotoman]

anyone know who the gorgeous brunette is at 3:14 ????

[dlilgeneral]

Their first video that didn't suck.

[drummer9990]

awesome song

[Ease54]

Yep,I looked this up to see the girls again...excruciatingly hot!Great song too.

[rjchstoner]

Reminds me of the opening to SNL

[ghdewey]

Totally love this song and band. Saw them in Jacksonville Flordia where this night club had the topliners there. I gave mike my tie and the women went crazy when he wrapted it around his head like a head band. By the way it was red

[cruefan9]

Is that Traci Lords at 0:15?

[trashratt]

Good eyes, looks like her eh?

[Osceola84]

Don't know but I remember when I first saw this video way back I thought it had some of the most beautiful and sexy women I had ever seen in a video. Two favs are 3:56 and 3:13...totally in love. Would love to know where this was folmed and move there ;) The guys at around 2:00 are about like I would be.

[Tre404]

I'm surprised nobody has posted this fact yet, but I remember reading and hearing on TV and radio countdown shows that Loverboy wanted a video that "looks like a beer commercial." And it really does look like a late-80s Michelob commercial, when you really look at it!

Just an awesome song, man. And how cool is it that the crew member posted here with his recollections?  Gotta love YouTube, man.

[maricm0208]

Yea, either beer or those old "Coke Is It" commercials! Oh the 80s were great! Love this song.

[Osceola84]

Never thought of that before but, absolutely, really has that Michelob feel to it like the Clapton and Winwood Michelob ads that ran around that time. Good observation.

[onesimusmartialarts]

Totally remember this song...hadn't heard it in YEARS!

[dawnrexgurl]

You missed it it was a cooooollll time

[gcgirl4eva]

i wish i lived in the 80's :(

[davedropd1]

I was there.. one word.. PARTY!!!!!

[ruleoforder]

Simple music for simple minded people.

LOL. LONG LIVE IGNORANT SHEEP...

[hellyea93]

yet you looked up this video. your the simple minded dumbass

[hcl1978]

superclasico hace años no veia el video...gracias youtube

[norfolk41thomas]

Yes, it was written by Bon Jovi and Sambora. In addition to that, Slippery When Wet was produced in Canada with the same guy who produced the Loverboy albums prior to that date. So there is a real Bon Jovi connection there.

[JairMI]

That's because it was written with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora.

[tylerandtony2]

Ahhhhhhhhh, yes the memories! Love this song, but I can't download the song itself!

:-(

[cormus1]

i got it on frost wire

[rhps2000]

Love love LOVE this video! Thanks for putting it up. :-)

[Travixius]

MTV in Australia pumped this song for weeks but it didn't hit. Strange because this stuff is gold, just unpretentious balls to the wall rock. Bring it back, because pop music now makes me violently ill.

[scorpiogirl100]

this songs kicks ass when you crank it up in your car, so does too hot, i just downloaded that recently, loverboy just gets better and better, thanks for posting

[RonT882001]

They made alot of very good songs,this song being one of them,but their best song is definately "Working for the Weekend".Lovin every minute,Too Hot and Hot Girls in Love are right up there too.

[Skinnyjoeymerlino]

This is Loverboy's best song and best video. They split up after this album, though.

[Dr91Death]

Loverboy never split up... there still making new songs and on tour right now... Scott Smith left after this album and drowned during a fishing trip

[Skinnyjoeymerlino]

They took a hiatus in 1988 after the tour supporting this album didn't do well. They just got back together later.

[machinator1971]

What song? I was looking at the vid!

[discoguy79]

typical 80s rock

[GrendelKiller2]

Agreed!

[CartmanRod]

Gotta love those Ray Ban Wayfarers during the 80s

[earlymtv]

dude. this song was great.. i remeber it charted in october of 87.. should have been a bigger hit

[waayneman]

Part of the reason this is such an awesome song is because it was written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora during their heighday.

[tommylikethewolf]

Man, '87! I've waited 20 years to see this again! Still sends chills.

[dlilgeneral]

For my birthday I convinced My Girl friend to do the phone booth scene with me.  It was HOT.

[dlilgeneral]

The first sign of the Apocalypse is upon us. As decent video from Loverboy.

[tigerman15]

OMG This takes me back to my college days. I cranked this in my Daytona. I can't believe I'm in my 40's now! Seems just like yesterday...

[LANAxCROFT]

geil

[earlymtv]

i doubt loverboy would sell out in 1987. they was done. but this is thier best song. rocking kick ass.

[smurfnm156]

I remember when this premiered on MTV. This getting old stuff sucks. :D

[LedZeppelin699]

NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA NOTORIOUS! *notorious*

[rich88b]

I found this YouTube clip after coming across a picture single of this song backed with Wildside in amongst my records and I don't even remember buying it!!!

[tinoketkim]

Wow I am an avid video collector, I have at least 1000 videos. I have watched this one many times and never realized that it was Traci Lords in the opening shot. Thanks for the info.

[WALTKRIEG]

Wow, look at the women, mmm! Not girls, but real beautiful ladies.

[ELSPUTNICO]

i think that this is their best song, very good.

[joostisabelle]

this kicks aaasssssssssss !

[HammerofDawn93]

lol sounds kinda japenese in the beggining.I've been a lover boy fan for years,and every night in the basement i would tie my rising sun headband around my head and blast this song.I would first bow then do karate poses then I'd play air guitar. lol good times,good times.

[coompone]

This's life!

[eden1963]

Which city was this filmed in?

[avalon3008]

It was filmed in LA around Wilshire & Western. 3:45 is the back of the Wiltern Theater.

[avalon3008]

A bit of trivia..the blonde in the opening shot is Traci Lords but at the time she used the name Nora Kuzma.

[chrisandcairo]

I worked crew on this video - we had locations in various places around LA including the Wiltern, but was mostly shot right on Hollywood Blvd over a couple of nights. I distinctly remember the gal in the short skirt who stumbles - she was a stunner - and the gal in the phone booth - not a real phone booth btw. We shot alot from rooftops and spent alot of time hosing down the Blvd to make it shiny.

[docsrocks]

Short skirt and white halter top with a small black jacket and short dark hair. Smoooooookin. Great vid.

[sdaniels4u]

You are so right!! Who is she?

[sdaniels4u]

docrocks comment...girl with white halter top is smoking...who is she?

[nickfortune]

Directed by David Fincher

[sageofsuccess]

This is one of the greatest videos of all time! I'm so glad someone finally put it up here: "Every mother's nightmare, every school boy's dream."

[gwyld]

Hell yeah! this song rocks!

[BWR84]

Loverboy was obsessed with women...go figure. All of their songs are about chicks! No wonder I liked all of their songs.

[daywalker1970]

someo0ne have the information of the girl in at 1:48 she´s hot. She´s still in the show bissness?

[BrunoMacDonald]

Ha, EXACTLY the reason why I looked this video up. Saw it when I was 15 and it's stayed with me ever since. Shame "Workin' for the weekend" is their best-known song coz this is much better...

[deflep007]

Great song from very underated band . They are great live

[mstalanon]

I dunno... saw the other video on here of them live doing this song, and it sucked! LOL! Hey, I LOVE this song, but some things shouldn't be done, and a fifty-some year old shouldn't be trying to do this song! The instrumentals and the vocals of that live were just horrid!

[mstalanon]

thanks for posting this... shame it's from a vcr tape, but you know, it's better than not having it. I always loved the part with the gal in the brown dress that stops and rubs her calf muscle, and the two dudes on the street see it, and kinda go weak! LOL! The gal in the locked phone booth scene was always hysterical too! And the one in the police spotlight! Just a great made video!

[Angela38DDD]

80's music, beautiful women scantily clad. Does it get any better than that? NO!

[spike3733]

OH yeah -_- this was one of their best songs & still one of my favorites -_-

[daywalker1970]

awesome¡ i dont hear this song since high school in bachilleres america in monclova coahuila, cool song, bring me the times of beer, chicks, and cigarretes, beautiful

[wadems]

Always loved this tune. They do it live well.

[rogue11081]

Thanks heaps for posting man...this is my favorite Loverboy song...love the vocoded Notorious and the blues harp.

[lyverbird]

Hey, I've just found out that this was a David Fincher directed video as well! Cool...

[lyverbird]

Did I hear right when I heard that this is a Jon Bon Jovi penned song? I also heard that they were meant to get You Give Love a Bad Name but Bon Jovi decided to keep it and passed on this one instead. Either way, I LOVE this song - one of the better hair rock tunes of the 80s - just fantastic!!!

[ccy2]

Yes, Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Desmond Child wrote this song. I read somewhere once that Jon wasn't happy with the way it turned out, but I think its' fine. p.s. Jon sings on the 2nd verse at 1:41.

[Vishvakarman]

Oh sweet sweet nostalgia!

[Vishvakarman]

Nostalgia!  Awesomesauce!

[eden1963]

Ditto I've missed watching this vid.

[och70]

THANK YOU for uploading this, FUCK Viacom and their copyright claim!!

[paulisphotoman]

[paulisphotoman]

Man, brings back lots of great memories of 1987...thanks for putting this video back on, one of my all time favorite videos from my alltime favorite band !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mommafive]

thank you I was hoping someone would get this back on youtube....reminds of the good ol days before I started having my kids.. partying in the city was a blast....

[OboeCop]

That used to be the best way to get girls to take off their clothes - trap them in a phone booth. Too bad there aren't many around anymore. :(

[freeplay73]

Heck yeah, I was waiting for someone to upload this! My favorite Loverboy song, thank you. =)
