  • way back

  • Who's the actress?

    

  • nice but why sound so much like The Cars?..Hmmm!.

  • They sound like The Cars!!

  • @gmansi

    Or ... the Cars sound like FM. They both emerged around the same time. Although early FM was much better. Black Noise is one of my favourite albums.

  • My absolute favourite Canadian 80's tune.Thank you kurdtss!

  • The girl in this video had a stage name (she was an exotic dancer aka stripper) named Holly Woods (not to be confused with the lead singer in the band 'Toronto')

    She came thru the Alberta strip club scene a few times in the 80's.

  • I'd forgotten about this song and video, but when I saw it again here, every scene came flooding back!

  • I'm building a time machine right now, where is that flux capacitor?

  • <3 this one.. She always reminded me of a real life Jem.. :D

  • I was having lunch at Wendy's and I heard this song over the radio. Never heard it before. Thought it was a new song. I guess it must be in my subconscious from the 80's. I loved it. But I listened to the band's other songs and didn't like any of them.

  • Not for long...  I'm gettin' this soon!!!!

  • Loved this song. I'm probably the only person in my area of the United States who owns this CD!

  • WOW! Hard to believe this is the same prog rock FM from "Phasors on Stun" (relative) fame!!! I've never heard any of their music past City of Fear! This is so sad! But nearly every band has to reach out to try and achieve some success as the times change! Stunning!!!

  • Saw them in '85 at The TSC, Memorial Campus in St. John's Newfoundland. Nash the Slash was awesome with his electronic violin.

  • Good song...too bad this did not make it to the states.

  • saw this girl dancing in the "House of Lancaster" about 20 years ago. Let's just say she was showing a lot more than in this video, if you know what i mean.

  • @berniekirk know of any place that sells good time machines??

  • dont push over nash the slash' he's lovely

  • This is one great pop song!

  • Or maybe they have greatest hits or sth??

  • @HomerPL No greatest hits, unfortunately. This song is from "Con-Test" and "Dream Girl" is from "Tonight", which also included this, along with a few other songs from "Con-Test", as bonus tracks on the CD release. You should be able to buy both on eBay, though "Con-Test" is easier to find on vinyl than on CD.

  • Does anyone know the title of the album with this track and "Dream Girl"?? I downloaded "Phasors on stun" but it doesn't include them. Thx...

  • I directed this video. The Limo driver is Martin Deller, the band's drummer.

  • @EvaEverything really? good job,i liked this vid a lot when i was young and saw it? are you from winnipeg>?

  • nice<<memories

  • Nash the Slash: Canada's most famous burn victim!!!

  • does anyone know where to find the lyrics or know what he says when something something and falling for it?

  • @poopydick123

    This is just like you to try the same old sorry tune I think I'm falling for it too

  • Thanks for posting!

    Does anyone have even an audio version of FM's "Shapes of Things"?

  • Canadian bands rule.

  • Is the limo driver Nash? I think I remember him doing little cameos and stuff like that

  • I was told that the chauffeur in the video is actually Nash the Slash without

    bandages.

  • Does anyone know who that girl in the video is?...she looks familiar.

  • Comment removed

  • Has to be 20 years since I heard this. OOOHHHH how old it makes me feel. LOL

    Thanks for the post!!

  • Has to be 20 years since I heard this. OOOHHHH how old it makes me feel. LOL

    Thanks for the post!!

  • their best songs are this one, phasors on stun, hours, journey,one o'clock tomorrow, dialing for dharma, and black noise, all great songs

  • I saw them at The "Copa" in Toronto 25+ years ago.Awesome show.

    Songs still sound great.

  • god damn this girls hair is so ejaculatory

  • Awesome Song!

  • Love this song

  • Anyone have the video, "She Does What She Wants To"? I was actually in the video playing a shorter version of Nash the Slash.

  • The girl with the crazy pink hair is hot!

  • Saw them at a college pub around '85 or'86. They crammed the place. I went as Nash the Slash for Hallowe'en.

  • It kind of has a Cars sound to it.

  • @bbssmile Yeah, you're right. I didn't realise that all those years ago. :-) 

  • Sorry you are correct, the album that Phasors On Stun is from is called Black Noise.

  • what is the name of the song playing on the radio at the beginning of this video?

  • Black Noise

  • @kurdtss its not black noise, the song's name is Phasors On Stun

  • @mazanylisak01 I did correct myself quite awhile ago (see my comment posted about a year ago) but thanks

  • nah it's called phasors on stun, check on youtube

  • @shutergirl phasers on stun

  • @shutergirl The name of the song at the beginning of this video is called Phasors on Stun by F.M. you'll see Nash The Slash without the bandages

  • @shutergirl Phasers on Stun by F.M. featuring Nash The Slash.

  • saw them at the CNE in Toronto..breezy summer night with the moon sitting high..great memories of great times..Nash the Slash was an awesome chaacter..

  • nice one thanks:)

  • What is the name of the song that's playing on the radio? I have been looking for it everywhere but have never caught the name!

  • Terrible vid, great song.

  • Such a beautiful tune!!

  • have this on my favorites,lovely music and the foxy chick makes my day!

  • There were so many fantastic Canadian bands that should and would have done great things without the 80s sound and video.....having said that....well some of you know the rest.

  • if u were in your 20's in the 80's in southern ontario..this was the song to enjoy. and will always bring back the memories. !!! enjoy, and thanks for posting

  • One of the great forgotten songs of the Eighties.And love that Nash the Slash!

  • I widh i had a girl just like her in the 80's!

  • the chix a fox!!great song,i love fmxx

  • ...Las 2 bandas de FM son muy buenas!!! Rock ON!!

  • Whoa- that chick is smokin' hot! Her hair is f'n beautiful! I favorited this video just so I can look at her often. What a beauty. Thank you for posting this video!

  • i love the chick in the vid with her big eighties hair and i also love krazykritik.

  • WHAT do people have against this song?..it's a bouncy fun groove around the dance floor TOON!..and nothing that has 'Nash the Slash' on guitar is anything but COOOOLLLL..this ame out the year I moved to Toronto..what a blast those years were for great pop toonz..

  • btw, it's not a guitar, it's a mandolin.

  • Cool vid.

    But what's wrong with this guy looking like mummy???

  • That's Nash the Slash man!

  • ya check out Nash's songs on here, he will blow your mind. Been a lng time fan.

  • lmao! that's a good one, hehe

  • ther is one youtubeget whit this you can downloud

  • Can anyone tell me how to download this song.

  • it is hard enough to find phasers on stun on limewire, i can't imagine what it'd be like to find this one!

  • Yea limewire won't accept just too letters in the search. So how can you put in another letter when (FM) is all there is. So I was able to get the song on cassette. I just got a cable like on a set of headphones on one end and patch cables on the other. Plugged it into my computer speaker jack and the patch end into the cassete deck end. So now I can get any song this way. I'm still into cassettes so it's fine for me. Getting the video now will be more fun.

  • FM never sucked. Can you blame the guys for wanting a hit single? "Just like you" and "Dream girl" still bring back good memories of the 80's, not bad ones. But then again, I grew up on 80's pop radio and most FM fans grew up in the 70's.

  • : ) Thanks for the video, good tune. Seen them a couple of times, the last at the C.N.E. grounds, then seen Nash The Slash solo at the old Stars bar in Brampton. Always liked this band, Black Noise album is timeless, hard to believe it was produced by the C.B.C.

  • was that in '89 or '90?..I wast the sme concert!..LOL..Nash was great..did you see them at Nathan Philips Square for that free show they put on?..good band fun 'toons'..

  • I  didn't see the Nathan Philip's show, but I think you're right good band, damn good band. If they do play again, I'll probably be there, I'm the one with the leather cowboy hat. Thanks for the reply, have a good day.

  • I have been told that they have reformed and recording, unsure of touring.

    Hopefully true.

    Phil

  • awesome...simply awesome!!

  • wow what a fox!!good music too!!

  • I remember the Pink Hair Girl....Strange Band, I think this song is their most Solid !

  • Shit, you can hear the 'Suits' saying, "We want a Cars' 'Shake It Up' or you guys can kiss your asses goodbye.....

  • still have my old f.m. and Nash the Slash albums

  • And errrr like who fuckin cares ???????????twat

  • The negative comments all come from one user with multiple accounts.

  • Thanks for sharing.

    Peace!

  • so who fuckin cares

  • Saw FM warm up for Rush in Ottawa in '86. Great concert!

    I wore out a cassette that this song was on.

  • piss off canadian poofs

  • fuckin canadians , yeh man ,hey man , no way man , wow man , cool man,silly wankers , do one aj miller , go suck ya mum

  • Soap in your mouth young man! I'm not into nationalist stereotypes, you can say what you want about Canadians as I am a U.K citizen. I however am curious what makes a portion of younger U.K citizens notably rude and belligerent, and a bit racist. There's also a band called FM/U.K, I'm sure you've never heard of this band.

  • why is it that youtube members from canada think that they are so fuckin special ,[wide mouthed idiots, piss off you poof

  • coz we are special u cunt

  • Why is it youtube members from U.K who have to resort to childish swearing and immature comments?

  • gay men in there 30s , strutting around and looking at the tightness of eachothers kybers, readying themselves for full gay love,and they aint fuckin canadian you fool

  • Oh man did an interview with the band at UNB in Fredericton when Simon Brierly played guitar, they were a great live band. Underated canadian gems, aint it always that way though.

  • dont bother 11,000 of you its shit

  • Hey all 11,000 of you - look for "FM dreamgirl".

    It was the best hit of 1987, a classic pop song and video. Please post memories and debates about that song!

  • poof video featuring gay men in there 30s all looking to fool around with eachothers cracks

  • agreed , ravenheart piss off

  • really you think so , some music was but this lot suck , so go do one

  • Music in the 80's was great.Music these days sucks hard.

  • UTTER CRAP

  • cool.

  • rubbish total rubbish

  • Casa Loma. Heh heh. Nice place to shoot a video.

  • oh man...so many memories

  • anybody have "why dont you take it" video. would love to see that......

  • I like it too! I was an FM fan back in the 80s, but certainly didn't wear my hair like the girl in this video, or like Cameron. ;-)

  • ..honestly...why don't people like this toon?...I like the beat...the lyrics..it's a jump and dance toon..I know it's not their best...but I love this toon..

  • Wow this SUCKS !!!....I have Black Noise and their Direct To Disc album, seeing this video is like watching a whole different band. No wonder why they dissapeared.

  • Nash the Slash...oh yeah...these fellas played at Nathan Phillips Square...downtown Toronto...Canada Day 1987...THAT was a party...great fun song too...thnx...Mike from Canada...

  • I'm waiting for someone to post Dream Girl too. Haven't seen that in years.

  • Yes, Dream Girl!!! That's is the song I have been trying to remember for the longest time. Anyway....someone please get this one on here.

    Go Riders!!!!

  • I've been waiting for "All of The Dreams" to be uploaded. I'd do it myself but I have no idea what I'm doing

  • Phasors On Stun is a way better song

  • Wow. The internet's an amazing thing. I havent seen this vid since I was a young 'un....I only saw it once, but it stuck in my head. Now, 22 years later...

    Wow.

    I had HORRIBLE music taste back then haha

  • And hey..what's with Nash and the Invisible Man routine anyway?

  • One of FM's worst songs if you ask me.Where's Phasors On Stun?

    Is that Martin Deller (drummer supreme) starring as the chauffeur??,surely not??

  • I love this song. I didn't know there was a video to it. Not a bad video.

  • Thanks silver345, I own the c.d, Tonight/Con-test on one. Pretty obscure, but it's good 80's pop/rock. I'm hoping Kurdtss will find the video for Dreamgirl, but I'm afraid it's a lost cause. Anyone heard that song on the radio in the last few years?

  • I used to have Tonight too. And yet..I had forgot FM existed. Weird. None of their songs seem to be played anymore.

  • Does ANYONE remember Dreamgirl when it came out in 1987? Let's hear some positive comments about that awesome catchy single. The video was hilarious too. It made #41 on the charts compared to Just like you #37, but sadly no airplay anymore. What's up, Jack FM?

  • I remember Dream Girl and the video with the geeky guy and the hot blonde. I managed to dl the song on mp3, I still listen to it at work. If u want I could e-mail it to you. Just offering.

  • And i could sware at the part when she walks in the room with the heart box, and bends down with it, you can see her breasts? Take a look, lol

  • I love this song!! The Simmons drums never sounded better, they play this on 999BOBFM in Winnipeg

  • Cool, who's the chick with the crazy hair? She's hot.

  • Speaking of CFNY. Does anyone have Knobby Kleg, doing, MY OLD MAN. Now that's rare. That's when CFNY was a farmhouse in Brampton.

  • Awesome vid! Such a rare find.. do you have Dream Girl?

  • Wow, I'm sorta glad I didn't get Much as a kid.

  • Thanks for this ! Is there any video for Dream girl?

  • I liked phasers on stun more. Cool i didn't know that Nash the Slash was in this band.

  • You hear Phasers on Stun on the radio at the beginning, another great song by FM!

  • Dream Girl and Take the Time to Dream were off their subsequent record to Con-Test actually and it was called Tonight in 1987 :)

  • kurdtss!! A MILLION THANKS for finding and posting this. I was convinced this was the Cars 1st several times i heard it on CFNY. Thanks again for posting(i see u read your requests..lol)

  • CFNY?....I still have a brand new CFNY bumper sticker from 1983. The spirit of radio sticker, Black. I have one on my guitar case too.

  • Wow I met Dave Marsden there when it was on Kennedy Road here in Brampton and I met Simple Minds outside there.Oh the good old days where have they gone?

  • There's so much going on in this video that I want to high five all of Canada.

  • I saw FM open for Rush on the "Moving Pictures" tour in 1981...they were awesome!

  • Yep! That was with Ben Mink instead of Nash The Slash. I prefer the Ben stuff myself. Anyone got any live FM from that tour? I went right out and bought their best album after that tour- "City Of Fear"

  • Nash is dressed like a butler in this vid because at one time there was a Pepsi commercial in Canada that featured a character that was bandaged with sunglasses holding a tray with Pepsi on it. He tried to sue Pepsi for stealing his likeness so Pepsi pulled the Ad off the air. The band Rough Trade were in it too. Also that white radio with the flashing lights in it at the beginning apears in Nash's video for American Band Cheack out my profile I have that vid on there

  • FM were so awesome .. Nash the Slash was so weird .. it was all awesome!

  • THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have been wanting to see this. Bring out Dream girl! That song was awesome and the video hilarious. Tonight was a good album.

  • FM was a great band. They played at one of my high scool dances way back when. Dream Girl and Take The Time To Dream are my favourites off Con-Test. Nash is wrapped up in his work as usual. Set Your Phasers On Stun! Thanks.

  • oops I did it again. Forgot the "h" in school. Just Like Me Again..typos everywhere.

  • oops x 2...Dream Girl and Take The Time To Dream are off Tonight, not Con-Test, but great songs non the less.
