[Franciscoftv]

SON GENIOS .... 24 AÑOS TE DAS CUENTA !!

[Barzote]

This song is forever !

[Jamie10004]

Was this the only live performance on TTOP? I know it wasn't shown again until Christmas '84?? Some ban placed by Mike Read I believe.

[StarryTigger]

I taped Christmas TOTP 1984 onto our brand new VCR, still have the tape to this day, I used to look forward to TOTP on Christmas Day, not now I don't! Long live the 80's!!

[Perle3456]

80's were superb..they hit the nerve...unlike nowadays...

[gazbom0]

UTTER, UTTER FILTH .

[cri998]

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­elllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllllllllllllllaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxx

[wahuk]

No Ass less chaps?

[lena13b]

TUNE!!!!!! Brings back memories :)

[subymay]

fantastic!

[TheKamikazeMAR]

The opposit of Nike:slogan of them is :Just do it!

[VladCarn]

Shit then,still shit.

[HuckeyAwesome]

Im old

[anonymous1312]

Wow this song was banned from BBC radio and TV because some one realised that "come" did not actually mean come as in "oh come all ye faithful" which makes this video quite rare, although I don't think this is from ToTP. It was number 1 for ages and so ToTP couldn't end with the number one like it always did.

[damnspynovels]

@anonymous1312 I've got a feeling that it was from that year's xmas TOTP - the beeb had "relaxed" the ban after all those months. look at the set - pretty xmassy no?

[gayboyfun1]

@damnspynovels great song, shame there was so much sensor ship then back in 1984 ( i think it was about then )

[gayboyfun1]

gr8 video ..........shame about the censorship back then, all because the group sang the words.

WHEN YOU WANNA COME !

AND AS FOR TODAYS MUSIC YOU HEAR IT ALL, CUNT, FUCK, SLUT, NOT THAT I AM BOTHERED ABOUT SWEARING IN MUSIC AS I LISTEN TO KEVIN BLOODY WILSON, AND HE SWEARS IN EVERY SONG, BUT HE IS FUNNY AS FUCK !

[tobagotb10]

It were songs like these that made my Friday and Saturday nights a success, plus the cold Heineken beer on tab.

[jagara1]

I feel like saying "calm down, calm down" to the drummer - lol

(Harry Enfield fans will understand the reference above)

[illuminist13]

these are lipsyncing and not even playing their instruments lol

[jameseyboy73]

Nice to see Harry Enfield playing the drums.......Calm down, calm down.

[kardosdelbaragan]

Ànd the function of the The moustache guy is...?

[yeeepsie]

@kardosdelbaragan backing vocal

[jameseyboy73]

@kardosdelbaragan playing the drums.

[bl33k3r]

@kardosdelbaragan

sex appeal?

[kardosdelbaragan]

You Can´t beat the 80´s an any way at all..

[baabaagreensheep]

Guy in black leather jacket, tash and bouncing around does it for me. I just love these gay boys!!!!

[Gorillayang]

woow the sound is awesome! what memories! : (

[mierdero73]

That time ( 80 ?s ) was a musical efervescense. Now the musical scene is very bad, with gruops than sound like the 80´s.

[wolfie2204]

CLASSIC NO MORE TO BE SAID

[perpetual61]

No Decade will ever Beat The 80's For How Incredible The Music Was and Still Is.

[nunyaz2010]

Always have liked this

[TyroneJJ7]

Wonderful. From the Christmas Day edition of Top of The Pops if I recall correctly. The album version

[rafiqul84]

LOL 0:51 - he showed his middle finger - why?

[webstersafc]

@rafiqul84

for fun 

[kylenavyguy]

The tune is timeless! ^ ^

[superemposed]

that bass sounds good

[armand40ify]

Still good music

[SonsoftheProphets]

This should have been in GTA Vice city, not Two Tribes

[hcvang]

@SonsoftheProphets it's in vice city stories - according to wikipedia, anyway

[mikkifly]

it would still get to number 1 if released today.classic.

[MARLONSKiUnusual]

still the best 80s song

[LotusWeiWei]

I used to have a shirt that says....Frankie Says Relax..Don' t Do It. It was funny because my mother had no clue what it meant, and probably would be shocked if she knew about Frankie Goes to Hollywood. LMAO.

[DEANOO2006]

I Never Get Tired Of Listening To This Its A Classic. I Love It.

[georgetacarmen]

THANK YOU !!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG......

[thomascat06]

i love holly and l love this song!!!! one of the best of the 80's

[webstersafc]

sometimes they do that cause of saying it again or a back up singer saying, it might be mimmed but who cares?, still the best

[TEREZKA1982]

he is just amazing here..more than usual....

[PhoenixRising2145]

Never realized before, but he flips the bird at 0:49 lol

Great tune! Loved it in the Proposal as well! :-P

[jjrosingana]

can anyone tell me if Holly Johnson is say " I'm so sorry " on 2:28.

[webstersafc]

the sound of the instraments from 3:15 .. sounds mint!, sounds mint live

[marcela568]

a classic song from the 80's, just GREAT!!!!!

[chocolatcats]

You know why many women like gay men? Its because WE LOVE MEN too.

Its just understandable...

[chocolatcats]

You got it freddie86.........WHO CARES, its one of the best tunes made, ok I love the Moody blues but......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this one gets you going

[rottenlydon]

great performance! just what top of the pops needed at that stage 1984 after all the silly acts since punk

[Reint25]

This actually looks like a live performance on TOTP! Was it (live)?

[stonemosaic]

Sounds mimed.

[Reint25]

Yeah, you're right. At 1:10 he's nowhere near the microphone.

[nookie077]

@stonemosaic

of course it's mimed...it's TOTP. In the 80's everyone on that show mimed, they had no choice.

[bluegreenius]

as a mob dj in the 80s this was a treat for me to play as there was pressure to play agadoo!!!....yeah i know it was hard!

[cachambi]

Nice times '80s ...when you do sex without no protection , when the ladies are very hot ... good times...

[lukeywookey1234]

these guys and especialy freddie merc best performers ever...and their gay? who cares.

[freddie86]

out of 5 people in the band 2 was gay and 3 was straight.. but who cares?

I think its something about being insecure about yourself if people care so much about what other people do in bed

[raouldijksman]

Is he gay? O.o

[WoodRatGirl]

"Hit me with your laserbeam ow!, ow!, ow!"

[fourthwind1]

when ya wanna CUM! didnt know thats what it was about all that time ago!

[noelbarry1]

Who cares if there gay or straight, great song

[baabaagreensheep]

I'm a mum of over 50 with 3 kids and I LOVE THIS... OK

[KittyTaylor69]

Ok, besides the bloody stupid comments about sexual orientation, this song is such a cool reminder of the '80s (well those parts that we can remember anyway) :) flashbacks indeed!!!!

[darren1673]

fuck sake relax ladies , fucking hand bags at dawn here

[1snazzyg8r]

Frankie made it to Sunset Blvd and met a 6 ft tall tranny while sucking dick in a public bathroom. Decent song, but c'mon- these guys are so gay!!

[rooters11]

Freddie Mercury was gay, what is your point homophobe

[1snazzyg8r]

Chill out rooters, just jokes. Don't judge.

[Grygazol]

We don't need those kind of jokes.

And speaking of not judging...take your own advice.

[1snazzyg8r]

Who? The YouTube police?!! I would hardly call a comedic reference a judgement. RELAX! I've seen these guys live- what are you, a casual observer? I didn't realize their sexual orientation until I saw them either so don't concentrate so much on the comments and just enjoy this 80s classic. And in spite of your initial responce, that orientation is of little concern to me.

[SagasRightPeg]

Your still very homophobic my friend. This song was played in straight clubs all over britan and tbh no one really cares if there homosexuall or not

My advice is to keep your views to yourself

[1snazzyg8r]

Wow if I can be judged by a single comment then who is the real sociophobe? Seriously, reading so much into a single comment, no matter how inflammatory it may be perceived is ludicrous and should not condemn a person to be labeled as anything. This song was the mainstream over here across the pond, so that means what exactly? If I'd have known I would generate so much controversy for that remark, I wouldn't have posted it and for that I apologize.

[gigahit]

A N D ????

The bathroomstory is NOT the music!!!

[Micromachineman]

What does this have to do with the music ? And who cares anyways ? Idiot.

[1snazzyg8r]

Since when does every comment need to be about the music? Hopefully I didn't hurt your feelings too much. Relax man, read the older posts.

[spaceyrules23]

this is my theme song, the story of my life

[oldParasiteSingle]

flash back to the 80's

[lilongwee]

Sadly no, Frankie didn't make it to Hollywood. He only got as far as Fishguard and then discovered the ferry was cancelled...

[brpadington]

Did Frankie ever make it to hollywood? This is the question that has been bugging me for 20 years.

[dewy200884]

no one can beat the 80's

[Fastolm]

bass line is awesome but not as good as Two Tribes. This will be a classic forever.....it will not be forgotten for quality and one of those defining moments in controversial music...which makes a group legendary...

[wq54]

yes it will be forgotten .not to you! but to the mass

that never saw them.

[jdbbrz]

True

[Micha9002]

Великолепно, одно из лучших за 1984 год.Молодцы.

[mikedabookie]

bass line is awesome

[WarlordFeyd]

This was the perfect song to feature in an awesome film, "Body Double"--The band actually made cameos in this movie too!/Mikey

[innit27]

you cant beat the 80's for bass guitar
