  • @pegasusbsb27 HAHAHA nice.

  • fuck vevo

  • I always thought this was a song about moving to California.

  • @PatNSD01 - That's the Village People's version.

  • @PatNSD01

    no it was olympic time ^^

  • @pegasusbsb27 Haha =D

  • Россияне, это клёво что мы получили свободу в 1991. Внатуре! Да, я знаю что мораль русского народа пала, но кто в этом виноват? Почему до перестройки народ был таким сплоченным и якобы не было культа денег, а после 1991 года мы погрязли в дерьме и духовно истощали? Раз уж легенды гласили что советский народ был мощным. Ну и куда это всё пропало? Внатуре! Давайте думать головой, а не жопой. Харе бухать ягу. Нам кроме нас самих никто не поможет!!И правительство наше тож говно редкостное. Внатуре!

  • @NeesquickAlena Ну ты в натуре, типо прав!!!

  • @Andrei70101 Спасибо, но я девушка ))

  • @NeesquickAlena  ОПС!!! Барышня пордон!!!!

  • One of my favourite songs , and a great version of it. I used to watch it over and over on Mtv! However, it's not really about Communism, is it, even though The Pet Shop Boys employ that iconography to such good effect? That's missing the point. It's about the struggle for the freedom to be who and what you want to be, and fulfilling your own personal dreams. These powerful images convey that very forcefully and, to me, emotionally, and complement The Village People's original message perfectly.

  • Go West - Pet Shop Boys .... I don't need any other artist

  • soviet russia ftw

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

  • this is boring timbaland the way i are is way better or tinnie tempah pass out.

  • I didn't know this was a cover originally done by The Village People

  • @HinoOokami, Communism is a shit, they killed people and stole their goods, they censored, they built that ugly ghetto blocks.

    Communism is the idiots dream

  • @schizlam do you know what communism really means ? all the bad acpects you mentioned just came up because the people missused it . honoookami is absolutly right . just read the theoretical books communism is was based on . it is all about happy people beeing totally equal and working together for the same goal - a completly fair world . but sadly this will never work out

  • @SahRacer01 it never worked out? Really? It achieved everything it set out to do. It was a system of ruling used to destroy the Russian empire and enslave hundreds of millions. Seems it did that job very well.

  • @C0mmanderEddingt0n i absolutly do not think this was intended at first - just the wrong people got the power .... ok everbody becomes "wrong" then you give him power xD

  • @SahRacer01 im not sure, if idea of taking everything what u have, what u built up whole life is a good idea...try to read some books...for example collectivization...its not just about happy and equal people..and why to be equal, when you are smarter? its sick, not good, as you think

  • @melooolem i absolutly see your point , but the society we have nowadays really sucks . everywhere i see rich people growing richer , while the poor ones have to work even harder . so i somehow prefere the idea of comunism , perhaps somewhere , where no people lived before and with people who want it and really live for it (a like in utopia). and by the way of course i dont think it is good to take things away from people or forcing them with pressure to live under the comunism .

  • @SahRacer01 You'll prefer it until you end up in a gulag. Marx always leads to Stalin. History proves that without a doubt.

    And it's not capitalism that makes the people poor, it's the governemnts with their overblown taxes and out of control welfare states. Take Germany or the UK. Oivech! Why work when the government takes up to 50% of it, so that it can throw it at people who refuse to work?

    And "Utopia" is crazy BS. Humans will be humans. Always.

  • @higuma75 : to the first part : i absolutly agree

    to the second part . of course thats right , but i think the bosses of the bigger companys are fault ,too . why do they have to earn several millions ? one million would also be enough and there would be more money to the workers or the could at least make the products cheaper . but they are greedy and so the poor people have to pay for it . and yes the state does the rest with introducing silly taxes .

    third part - oh yes thats the sad point

  • @higuma75

    Governments encourage free market activity and put measures in place to protect it.. hence you could argue governments are the biggest component of capitalism. They are one in the same.

  • omg, that song used to be my favorite when I was a small kid. It was mostly because I loved the climbing the stairs to heaven thing ^^

  • excelente canción¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • I'm born in 88 ! I had 4 years listenning to this music ... ! btfl memories

  • Was this version made by Pet Shop Boys? In which year?

  • @LorenzoMusetta This was released in Australia in 1993

  • @SucculentCarol

    Thanks, but the final part, which begins at 4:22, was it made by Pet Shop Boys?

  • me recuerda los años 60 los grandes coros de las grandes bandas rusas para mi aqlgo fabuloso

  • Pet Shop Boys' songs are just great!!!

  • Spectacular!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!! Applause!!!!!! Favorite Video

    Greetings – Dj Mario Afonso – Rio de Janeiro – RJ – Brazil

    I love music, dogs, human beings and nature.

    Much music, health and peace.

  • renvoyez les communistes vers l' est

    quand on voit la CGT en France , c' est bien le cancer généralisé du travail

    renvoyez les en sibérie goûter les joies du travail dans les mines de sel et les douceurs de son Climat !!! loool !!!

  • Gay national Anthem...revamped from the original (The Village People) Courtesy of the PSB.

  • Comunism shoul never exist

  • Damn 80´s was just the the best music era ever. And i´m born in 88 and listen to everything but rock n roll or metal.

    80´s was just special.

  • twf those outfits

    there awsome

  • gay-lords go east and west cause pet shop boys are the best

  • cool shit ! west check out this shit ! we all go west ! :)))) if u don't want us we don't give a fuck ! :)))

  • Am I the only one to think this song has so many gay hints?

  • @CaptVio

    Mmmmm let me think... Nope it was commented on at the time. Though when the Village People first released it the cold war was still going on so people were a tad blind to it.

  • @CaptVio Such as?

  • it seem like we all gonna sing go east!

  • Как давно я тебя искал песенка!!! И вот нашёл спустя 8 лет!!! Спасибо Ю тюбику и пользователям!!!

  • This Song is forever in our memories!

  • communism was bad, capitalism is bad...but together ! we wil learn to teach!

  • @pegasusbsb27 haha

  • Communism is a totalitarian dictatorship that if you don't believe int eh party line you get shot. Any who believes that it is a utopian something should wake up and smell the hundreds of millions of dead bodies that have been piled up to make this utopia. Central government doesn't work and there will never be a utopian society.

  • @jellio2000 it's meant to be a good thing but it can't be in real life as it's just doesn't go along with human nature. I don't say that USSR was a some sort of welfare organization that wanted to make everyone on the Earth happy, I'm saying that there were people who believed in the ideology and that it will help to build a bright future. And the song is about that people, the nation which believed in their cause, that they will bring happiness into the world, free it from capitalistic slavery.

  • god job

  • Communism was a dream... A dream for a beautiful utopic future. It's not a bad thing by itself. It's people who can spoil and destroy anything.

  • @HinoOokami How true!

  • quizas

  • @HinoOokami Have ever you lived in Communist country? or just a post-communist ? If you did you might not said that....

  • @amsg1317 Yes, I'm from Russia so I know quiet a bit about communism. Communist leaders were bad, yes. Communism needs to conquer others counties in order to survive, yes. I agree with you totally. But if we look at people of the USSR in 60s-early 70s - they were inspired. They saw that everything they hoped for, everything they longed for is almost there... It was a time of hope, of renovation of strife! And this song shows that mood.

  • @HinoOokami This is so bullshit!

  • @HinoOokami im sorry, but it was a bad dream in every way...it was good maybe for an average man, who dont want to be better than the crowd...

  • @melooolem

    in which way is a country where all people help each other and where there is no difference between the rich and poor a bad idea?

  • @HamsterLoad you just pick something, what looks nice...but you dont see it in the whole....you dont have right to own anything, to work on yourself, everything belongs to the governemnt, even your work...i dont think, this looks so nice...dont talk about communism, if u know nothing except the shit about helping people...and it was more about spying each other than helping...

  • @melooolem First of all, It is not the government that owns everything, because everybody is the government in the Communist society. second in a communist society everybody is like a family, everyone share stuff, like they do in all regular families, except that it is much larger family and got more resources so everybody get enough. That is why everybody have to work, so the family can continue.

  • @melooolem and if somebody would know something about communism it would be me.

  • @HinoOokami communism was simply a ruse used to enslave the people of eastern Europe and destroy the Russian empire.

  • nice mix

  • I never has heard this extended version! Very very cool!!!!

  • Einfach gut gemacht !!!

    ** SUPER ***

  • check the track Solution on my you tube channel :)

    you hear something similar ?

  • go wesssssssssssst :-), j'ai adoré cette chanson et j'aime toujours , et je ne comprends pas pkoi les commentaires parlent de gay ici ???? retournez vous coucher, et meme si il etait gay, ou seraitle probleme, c'est le post d'une chanson, pas une dissertation sur les gay ou autres [>/<]

  • Das Video is eigentlich zum vergessen!Aber der SONG ist und bleibt ein HIT in uns alle!=D

  • einfach genial !!!!!

  • affanculo

  • c'mon people. Its a remake of a Village People song. Of course it's gay. lol.

  • @rellenoz so ??

  • Wow, people talking about being gay? You're looking too deep into the song I think. Yes, Go West might be a metaphor, but not limited to just one thing. Maybe it's just about being an outcast in general, and going any general direction to get away from persecution to make yourself happy.

    Some people should try simple thinking.

    By the way, the ending... Seizure-tastic

  • @Rifalltoo well Neil Tennant the lead singer is gay,that's probably what people mean. Brilliant song and brilliant group x

  • i like PSB but i hate communism

  • To be honest i don't like gays call me racist or whatever i just don't like them. But i don't give a shit about what does that song wants to say i just like the rhythm.

  • sorry guys...all your pontificating about Russia etc...it's a song about being gay and going to where you can live in the open air. Go west is a metaphor. The russian imagery is ok but you conveniently over look all the gay imagery as well. The promised land is where you can be gay and free and open.

  • this is on DDR Extreme 

  • /watch?v=6iAv4DTX5bM

    This is a much better version ! :)

  • la canzone e bella peccato che sono zecche RAUS

  • everybody should remember that in the year this song was recorded the opening of russia and all the comunist countries were "semi new" and america was the promise land to some people in europe, i think that maybe thats what the video tries to express.

  • this is one of my favourite songs of this group, i love it :)

  • Comment removed

  • So whats the connection? I see homosexual images, Soviet images, and a theme about the West and America...what the hell is going on?

  • @blitzkreig40 Just put together the elements of your own comment. What do you think the implication is when they are weaved together?

  • @blitzkreig40 That the way to break apart the WEST, America in general, is to break up the essence of the nuclear family to plant communism because communism grows where there is a moral and religious breakdown. Communism takes the place of all morals and religion and reinstates it with the "STATE"?

  • Good! :)

  • 4:30 begins the seizure slideshow

  • oops i added same message sorry, well before i left the store the girl said oh pest shop boys i heard my parents mentioning it in past, as i was shocked in funny way, they assumed i was gay after mentioning a little about it. they said oh we listen to punk music, lol oh well they gave me a discount because i cheered their day, thanks pet shop boys. cya

  • And bang they looked at me dumb found "Who is pet shop boys" i said you f?ing serious

  • And bang they looked at me dumb found "Who is pet shop boys" i said you f?ing serious

  • I went in to store not long ago.

    And a tune popped on beat was as if you were in gay club. i said to girl that seems gay, thay looked at me funny. well it was obvious they were young. but only 6 years difference from me. any hows i said that ong is catchy in store.

    Then a femaale voiece crossed with the song in play and i said, wouldn't it be "GOOD" if i edited that song and added the pet shop boys vocals to it.

  • love the chip bowl on the head!!! lol

  • Comment removed

  • same here

  • I grew up listening to this ^^ no kidding. I love every kind of music. From Opera to hip hop.

  • The title comes from a quote attributed to newspaper man and politician Horace Greeley: "Go West, young man, go West, and grow up with the country." Greeley used the phrase in an 1865 editorial in support of his very liberal ideas about colonization of the western frontier of the United States of America where one could take whatever he wanted and make his own rules. It in no way was meant as old world vs. new world, or The East (Asia, Eastern Europe) vs. The West (Western Europe, The Americas).

  • Village people were better.

  • Życie tam jest spokojne

    (Iść na Zachód) na otwartej przestrzeni

    (Iść na Zachód) Gdzie nieba są niebieskie

    (Iść na Zachód) To jest co zrobimy

  • i always thought this song was about 'going west' to san francisco...

  • @VTMCompany That's exactly what it was about.

  • @NitneLiun no man! in the video they are from russia and they talking about going west to USA ! not going from new york to san francisco!

  • @VTMCompany I believe it was about going west to San Francisco. The Village People and The Pet Shop Boys were both gay bands and at the time San Francisco was the place to be. Guess we'd have to ask the Village People or Shop Boys if this is true.

  • @rodman50 are you retarted it was about communist russia and how they wanted to go to the us bcuz of their government

  • sucha happy song...

  • if that is love , that is also mean the love is from him.....

    not me

  • queer communists, not unusual .....

  • Ez a szám és a klipp is jól sugallja, hogy a szocialista országokhoz szól leginkább mint ahogy a cím is utal rá irány nyugat. Mind fejlődésben mind szemléletben. Le a vasfüggönnyel és a kgst-vel stb. Legalábbis én így értelmezem.

  • @0524Robert

    Szívemből szóltál!

  • I love this song very much !! since I was 9 years old

  • I liked this extended version, but the original one was better. The "trippy" parts seem to be just thrown in for the hell of it.

  • Regardless of the theme, this is absolutely phenomenal music.

  • "go west" means to be a homosexual.

  • Ich finde das Lied Top.

  • quotations from wikipedia: Communism is a social structure in which classes are abolished and property is commonly controlled(en)

    Коммуни́зм (от лат. commūnis — «общий») — в марксизме организация общества, при которой экономика основана на общественной собственности на средства производства.[1](Русский)

  • communism is a system not a party or government

  • wanna be commies hahahaha

  • pet shop boys fucking rule!!!

  • diria que es un mensaje subliminal, pero es TAN SUBLIMINAL que hasta conscientemente noto la porqueria que mete en la cabeza ¬¬

  • It reminds me World Cup 98 in France, during Ending Ceremony.

    Football Forever

  • i was listening this only becouse of music, and now when i hear lyrics... fuccking crapy gayish bullshit !

  • Here's another version of Go West by Pet Shop Boys I like this...

  • I cant watch this without feeling nauseous

  • after 1.07 & 4.17... is that Kemal Ataturk shown??

  • polska biało-czerwoni to ta melodia

  • gooooo weeeeeeeeeest

  • lol it reminds me of red alert 2 XD!!!

  • i like is

  • Is it me or does this song sound like something done for Gay Pride?

  • @Dannyboy2k6 It was done by The Village People, you tell me.

  • In 2:54,  Is That the Philippines?

    That Looks Like the Rays of the Philippines!

  • THOSE RUSSIANS ARE FINALLY DOING IT!

  • Can you hear me back there in the 50's rejectedreject, lol. The vid has nothing to do with communism and btw the song was done by the village people first - americans.

  • This song made USA overrated !!

  • @Mihanzia What does that even mean?

  • @Mihanzia - Not sure what you're trying to say. If you're saying the song makes USA sound better than the rest. Well, yeah - but that's the point. Its called 'satire'. Its a play on "Go West, Young Man!" (during US western expansion in the 19th century) and on the feeling that the US 'won' the Cold War.

    It's all about the context. Trust me PSB has tongue firmly in cheek during this song... ;)

  • A classic Village People song done better by the Pet Shop Boys.

  • what is that statue?? (obviously not the statue of liberty. i'm not an imbecile)

  • The statue of solidarity?

  • I... WANT.. THAT... HAT......

  • But now there are wind of change in America...the future is another country who rules the world, not Northamerica anymore...

  • Remember that i loved this song as a kid but my big brother said they where gays and i shouldnt listen to the song lol

  • My childhood was spent in the Soviet Union; My great-grandfather was the owner of the factory and was a true capitalist, but... my maternal grandfather served in the NKVD in Stalin's Empire. :)

    And I like this song and PSB in all, really. Sounds like irony, yeah? :)

  • fine upload - thank you very much :)

  • I for one welcome our gay British commie invasion. Probably better than what we got now. It'd be more colorful at least.

  • Go west, peace is fake there

    Go west where perversion dwell

    Go west where the skies are gray

    Go west this is where we all went

  • fucking americans. all of the world had to suffer because of your stupid rivalry with russia.

    all that american hatred against russia is american propaganda. yes, stalin and lennin made crimes but the american NEVER made ANY crime ?

    you had SLAVERY for over a centuary in many states for a specific race. you have high racism everywhere.

    now there is new social medical system which is good but for centuries the poor DIED and the rich lived. the poor didnt even get medical attention.

  • It's not a gay anthem you morons.

  • @Aquarianwaterox it may not be a gay anthem but gay people r singing

  • is it my idea or guys in this video are gays...

  • Nice music, but do you listening the words of the text? They make me better day. It's so optimistic :)

  • @PPooCCaaHHooNNttAAss

    Yes, Communism was realy optimistic ;)

  • @yiaai

    deficit of food, queues more than 100 meters, cenzore, militia soldiers on street, russian army hide in forest, and propaganda songs.

  • @yiaai Not Communism, the text of this song...

  • memories!! it brings me memories.

  • leuk filmpje hoor

  • verie goo this song

  • i also don't get why the statue of liberty is red its not red its fucking green and not to be rascist the statue of liberty is not black i highly doubt it and i i don't think the statue of liberty is going to shoot white circles out of her fire stick what is she searching for the west

  • The W, is the west

  • Maybe you are taking things to litterally? :-)

    They are making fun of the Soviet Union ;-)

  • i don't get it why do they climb the stairs all that is at the top of the stairs is a w and also the skies west a not blue the song should be called lets not go west and stay where the skies are fucking blue not to be rude thou it is a good song

  • ¿Dé qué habla esta canción?

    ¿comunismo 2:29 ´min.?

    Pobrecitos.

  • todo un culto

  • ce clip est un culte

  • i like your way of thinking pisces31600,

    1 +

  • funny, its like in this video they say very inderictly that Europe and asia is just a fucked up place where everybody dies and there is always war- amerika is probraly more fucked that europe with all this shit war, where they go in without any reason, except of getting some shit oil!

    Fat americans!

  • I see this song differently. First of all it's a cover version from Village People. With them it's a song about the American Dream of conquering the west. PSB transform it to a song about the fall of the Soviet block. That is my take on it anyway.

  • @anorak2

    Not quite.
