Sheena Easton Modern Girl

[axn36]

Sheena Easton, feminine girl ;-)

[The096757]

anyone could have sang this song in 1980 and it would have sounded good. sorry sheena and why do you look so dark for a scottish girl?" another zion hag ?

this could have been an upbeat 80s anthem but ends up being a silly girls song because of sheena's singing..

[LENTICULARPLASTIC]

I'm gonna walk up and down the street singing this out loud, just to see how long it takes to get my ass kicked.

[The096757]

always loved the music of this song but felt her voice was not that good. l like the part that starts at 1:59.

first 20 seconds of the song is the best part. classic upbeat 80s sound = the first 20 seconds.

[lennyd1313]

Shhena used to be married to Rob the record man! She still rules

[vicega10]

Nothing like original versions, thanks

[LAnonHubbard]

Great song. Shame about the video quality. LOL at the TV @ 2:37.

[josemartinvalenzuela]

In the 80´s in Peru everybody sing as Sheena. She is the queen in the party.

[40feasty]

THIS SONG TRIGGERS SO MANY MEMORIES---HMMMMM--OH THE 80S

[westpalmbeach5]

1981 how beautiful the meaning of" modern" those days.......

[DavidJeffersonTull]

The video quality is, wow, poor...but hey, at least it's here. Hey, you think Sheena swiped that haircut from Pat Benatar...just sayin.

[DavidJeffersonTull]

The video quality is, wow, poor...but hey, at least it's here. Hey, you think Sheena swiped that haircut from Pat Benatar...just sayin.

[VIDSBYPB]

@DavidJeffersonTull Not to mention the contemptuous pout.

[MsFanmail]

i just love this song it came out when i was five years old i love sheena when she sang u got the look with prince sugarwall is a amazing song check it out on u tube

[MegaCerati]

Why there isn't a video of "Voice on the Radio"??? I think thats the most stronger song after "Morning Train"... bad choices.-

[krakenwave]

Identical sentiment to "Morning Train" The nah nah nah Modern Girl free-to-be-what--she-wants-to-­be is not after all waiting for her baby to take the Morning Train and come home again? I'm confused.

[granadaredhouse]

懐かしいです。シーナ・イーストン。

[headley62]

She looks so young. Nice song, too..

[KamikazekaitoKoki]

i heard this on ddr. i gotta admit, its pretty good:)

[raininginowlcity]

THIS IS SO GOOD.

[6459131]

who is the producer he is so cute!!!!!!

[mariocarnival]

Why the big labels don't launch all these clips like compilations??? in DVD with good quality or HD for downloading?

[amrekram]

its amazing how a song can carry with it tons of great memories!!

[9T3JK]

katie perry needs to cover this...

[OpenComments]

@9T3JK

If Scientology is really out to help people, why do they charge money? If they are advocators of peace, why do they fight anyone who disagrees with them? If what they believe is reasonable and true, why do they hide their 'higher' teachings and charge high sums for people to be able to read them? If they aren't in it for fame and profit, why do they target celebrities for recruit?

[edditude09]

Loved her short hair styles more than when she let it grow out. She was smoken sexy

[kenpalmer1965]

I remember this song from the early 80's. It may have been 1980 unless I am mistaken. Anyway, a great disco song for any club! Ah, the memories of my high school days here!

[GrahamLondonUK]

@kenpalmer1965 Ken, Modern Girl was released in the UK in February 1980, the song peaked in the UK singles chart at #56. Sheena's second single was "9 to 5", which peaked at #3 in August 1980 - this created further interest in Modern Girl, which re-entered the UK chart and peaked at #8. In the US the following year, 9 to 5 was released (and retitled Morning Train, to distinguish it from the Dolly Parton song), where it peaked at #1, followed by Modern Girl which reached #18.

[JLBJoanneB]

One or the original reality pop show winners, but what was she thinking when she released a song called Sugar Walls - Not Nice!

[luckyc120]

@JLBJoanneB i think that was her first major change into american pop music! I love the song lover in me the most!

[Kelski1998]

@JLBJoanneB

You can thank Prince for Sugar Walls. That was around the time Sheena aston went up to Minnesota and Prince took her under his wing and "sexed up her image"

[kimmlee]

I Love This song, always have, since I was in 5th grade. Thanks for posting!!!

[meowfit]

I haven't heard this song in forever!!!! Reminds me of the good old days when all MTV did was---well, play videos like this one!!! I miss those days!!!!

[pythoncase]

You misunderstood what I was getting at. I was referring to people who don't think this was a great song.

[melollylolly]

this is great! i have been looking for this song--i haven't heard it since 1980

[charleslumman]

only remembered this song other day its one of the earliest songs i remember like frankie sister sledge

[fangora2001]

Great acting from Sheena in the breakfast scene.

Overall great song and fun clip!

[SIUL1970ABC]

Thanks to youtube, here in Argentina we now can see the videos of songs that in 80s we just can hear.

[Cristinact]

and she's got an executive job as a receptionist!!! Just kidding, thanks for uploading!!!

[welsug]

thank you uploading!

80's music forever!!

[dynasue77]

I'm 35 and havn't heard this since I was at least 7. It's amazing how you can find long lost songs from childhood on youtube and come across ones you've never heard before.

[NickM48]

Couldn't agree more, I'm 34 and this song brings back great memories from my childhood of my mum dancing around the living room, thanks for uploading it.

[pythoncase]

The future is NOT for retarded, useless brain dead sacks of shit like you! No real man would spew such ignorant garbage like this with a straight face! Go back to your Leave It To Beaver reruns, quit lying to yourself about the future, accept the fact that you are a useless piece of trash and let it go.

[pythoncase]

Learn to spell, you useless sack of pigshit! And, quit lying to yourself about being part of the future! You are stuck in the past, the 1950s, and you are no more a lead guitarist in a band than Britney Spears is a real singer! You get off on putting down anyone with more talent than a piece of shit like you will ever have. To hell with you, and go play with your blow up doll and your hand!

[stew0783]

Python (is that a fantasy of your manhood?). You must not get out much and feel that criticizing other members makes you feel superior. I was in Britain when Sheena was starting out and thought she was great. I could not tell from spewing your hatred if you were supporting her or not. Bottom linestop putting people down to feel good about yourself.

[pythoncase]

OOOOOOOPS! Sorry about that.

I was not in any way putting Sheena down. She was nad is still a great artist, and when I wrote this, I was trying to put a bigoted, sexist idiot named sheliveade91 in his place. His comments about her, and women and minorites in general pissed me off to no end, and I was telling him off. I realized that all I was doing was giving this nitwit an audience.

Sorry if that came across as otherwise.

[newmark401]

@pythoncase

Women are not a minority, they are in the majority.

[pythoncase]

shelivade91...comments like that prove just how much you ARE stuck in the

50s...no intelligent, human, sane person from the 80s would spew such hateful, stupidity filled, bigoted crap. You are worse than third rate...you are the lowest piece of human waste ever, and should do all of humanity a favor, and super glue your bigoted, hte filled evil mouth shut...PERMANENTLY!

[britisharab]

shelivade91

you need to get laid....big time and very soon.....your comments suggest you have not been laid for years

[britisharab]

lead guitarist....my dick....if i ever get hold of you fuck face you will be in hospital for a fucking long time.....

i six foot 4 body builder..i promise you this

[tangiergirl]

[tangiergirl]

Greetings from Morocco.

[nigel65deck]

another example of the endless displays of people using you tube to show how emotionally disturbed they are.

[pythoncase]

I LOVE THIS!!!!

You are so right on about this turkey...he'll get no more emails from me either!

[pythoncase]

More like a pencil size cock! Any woman who looks at that would be disappointed...after they got done laughing over how tiny it is!

[pythoncase]

I know I have already said this, but this is a great song...and as far as shelivade91 goes: Bitter, party of one.

[agent5000000]

Actually... all 3 of the people who called you sexist were male.

[pythoncase]

sheliveade91...you are WAY past bitter! This is a great song, and you are stuck in the Rosemary Clooney 50s!

[pythoncase]

Third rate...kinda describes your fifties Rosemary Clooney, June Cleaver, hateful, bigoted, stuck in the 50s self, doesn't it?

[britisharab]

shelivade91 you sound quite bitter....

i would say one thing ...she is the original girl power

[agent5000000]

a bit sexist innit?

[NobleFilmscutingroom]

This song takes me to another world, a world of tea pots, marg and two slices, and the labour exchange, a cloudy day at Piccadilly Circus.

[Kevtic]

Great

[Maritaliendo]

i remember this song, i was a child , was 6 or 7 years old........

[odasoup]

I was 12!!!! T.T

[Maritaliendo]

she is very young, how old was her on this video?

[patickles1]

she looks younger but i think she was about 20/21

[nightoftheshapes]

Sheena acts like a total Schizoid in the acting portion of this video. Still I'd do her....

[jtm101583]

I like how this song tells a story. I'm glad Sheena won the Best New Artist award in 1981. I don't think anyone deserved it more that year!

[noblebeech]

2.01 - really good synth solo! Man, I love this tune!

[yuer7676]

beauty & talented.....Sheena Easton great singer from a marveluos times

[headley62]

Nice upbeat happy song.

[LosAngeleno1959]

I agree whitecatmama12. I couldn't have put it better

[Hitlad47]

Was this on Dance Dance Revolution or one of those games? It rings a bell.. coz when i went on holiday the song kept playing over and over in the background.. i'm sure it was one of those sorta games.. am i right?

[largefrog19036]

Pretty. Talented. Great voice. It seems like I haven't heard this sone in almost 30 years and it still sounds great! We love you, Sheena.

[dewbunny11362]

better looking than paula abdul and sings much better.. she should be on idol

[bushwacka1980]

Come back home to Glasgow Sheena!

We love you and are so proud of you here!

[EDGARCRITICO]

ES UNA BUENA CANCION.......

[wagrailroad]

Great song!!

[zxz1]

welcome to the first ever video ever recorded on a mobile phone camera .

[dnp97001]

It was 1980! Mobile phones weren't even invented back then. Yes, the hair and clothes are silly by today's standards but you can't deny that Sheena Easton is a very talented singer, more so than most of today's pop stars.

[elfornicador11]

I want to introduce to a friend of mine. His name is sarcasm.

[radioenergy101]

hahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[MagdaleneMayhem]

wow you catch sarcasm real easily dont you

[EDGARCRITICO]

MUY BIENNNNNNNNNNNnnnnnn

[Lordofjunggle]

This is truely poor quality as was said before.But excellent song it must be said.

[mark1460]

hey prince fucked her up..it was esta ranzen who dicovered this girl on a program called the big time..she later got called for service with mi5 to sing for the film james bond..for your eyes only..she now lives and works in america

[Yesimustbestupid2]

This will be the theme song for Chelsea Clinton when she runs for President in 2016 or so. -:)

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

Baad quality...

[OriginalMooMix]

A music video from 1980 on YouTube is bad quality? Wow, really? I was expecting HD-DVD w/ 7.1 surround quality.

[DIANAROSS4EVER]

I was expecting that! You can see The Supremes in 1964 a lot times better than this. Anyway I love Sheena

[mignonhenne]

i think sheena chose prince.

[Pimp479]

This music was good but you can't beat the music of the late 60's and early 70's(1968-1974).

[chambert]

On both Music Choice and XM, they sure don't play this song very much!! It was played on XM when they played all pop songs that ever charted, but it isn't regular air play. I also can't find it on Kazaa and Bearshare. The early 80's were a good time to grow up...

[gaae2000]

so young...sooo good, to bad i was only 12yrs old...ehhhh

[simbal]

19 de enero 2008,casino de viña del mar,chile,sheena easton en vivo

[StanMyMan66]

The "Modern Girl" in this video acts like a schizoid - absolutely NO EMOTION

[yabuggins19]

yeah!! Prince u transformed her into a hottie!

[gaae2000]

ahahah...word on that. I miss her inocense.

[themusicknowitall]

lol I like this song, but this video is way cheesy. Its the early eighties so I can't hold that against her.

[StanMyMan66]

Yes. It is 1982 what do you expect?

[KelleyMag]

She looks like a Romulan in this video, but I love the song and her voice. Boy, has her hair styles changed over the years!

[adisharr]

LMAO Romulan :)

[StanMyMan66]

Romulan chicks are hot...

[bandrobe]

lol...brilliant

[Pimp479]

She reminds me of Pat Benetar.

[somethingj]

this is a bad video like the song though

[Annawy]

God, this brings back memories ! Sheena won a talent show on Esther Rantzen's Thats Life TV show. I love this song ! This is a real song for girls ! Shame its not a better quality video, nevertheless thanks for posting !

[Rumpio]

Even back then that was an awful haircut.

[craigguy71]

give her a break she was from  a really hard area of Glasgow.

[superjarhead]

Dear singsongjay, Thankyou, It has been about 20 years since I have heard this song. Bring back the 80s.

[calvintoronto]

And speaking of modern: Sheena fucks, Sheena works, Sheena goes shopping, Sheena watches TV. Wow. Liberation eh? Sounds like everyone else who works a broing job and needs a good slogging now and then, then watches TV and falls asleep.

[cheinick]

Forgive me, but I think that's the point. This is a subtle (??) critique of feminism. Went over my head the first 10 times I heard it.

[calvintoronto]

Then the subtlety is lost on me. I always thought this song to be part of the new, assertive woman phase (I Will Survive, etc). It seems fairly straightforward: "I am my own woman." I don't know that feminist thinking by this time had advanced to the point of self-critique, ie, We don't need to be like men to be independent.

[cheinick]

Good point calvintoronto. Maybe I am just wrong. Or maybe she was just ahead of her time, although I know that seems a stretch. Are you really in Toronto? I went to grad school there, many years ago...

[calvintoronto]

Yes, in Toronto. So many things to do...and I'm sitting in front of my computer.

[calvintoronto]

This song isn't disco; it's just plain pop. God, that is one hideous jumpsuit Sheena is wearing, looks like she's wearing a diaper. So much for being modern.

[Hereforyou4]

This song is on DDRSN!!

[KroovyMonsoon]

Wonderful ! Always one of my favourite Sheena songs. Didn't know it even had a video. Thanks for sharing it!

[deardorian]

This song sonds so typical 80's song. But therefore I like it!!

[bingbong35]

This was a great song-her second single but it performed modestly on the Billboard Charts. I remember the Solid Gold Dancers always dancing behind her when she sang her song for that paritcular show.

[retrogurl82]

I've never heard this song before! Nice Song!

[paulstanley23]

I love her.

[a4user1]

La primera vez que vi el video fue en DiscoClub en 1982, tenia 7 años, te amo flaca!

[scarletbabe26]

SHEENA EASTON was Cinderella & pat benatar ,her ugly older sister.

[yuroka]

My favorite singer in 1981... I loved her

[EvilMongrelMonkey]

You can hear the 70s hanging on in this song.

[wurlybird9]

by "70's" ... i think you mean disco. Yeah this was sort of the last stage of disco before it evolved into modern dance music

[cblountt]

Wow! Didn't know this video even existed. Very interesting. She was one of my favorite singers during that time period.

[djAsianRebirth]

Although the video quality sux, you can't diss on the general plot of the song.

[djAsianRebirth]

I love playin this song on DDR.

[traviedawg]

Uh, as much as I love Sheena, this video was crap. She can't pull off a Pat Benatar haircut. I would stab myself in the heart if I had one.

[craigguy71]

if you knew the hard area of Scotland shes from, you would understand the haircut

[Gehirnstrudel]

What's so bad about it? I mean, I can't really see much because the video is of such low quality but judging from what I see I think she looked cute with that haircut. But well, of course that's only my opinion.

[frisbee64]

Her 2nd American hit from the spring of '81 going to #18 on Billboard's Hot 100.

[bingbong35]

Frisbee64 you hit on the nose. It should've gotten in the top 10 at least. I think it was #97 on Billboard's Top 100 of 1981.

[siciliansummer]

It was a Top Ten hit the same time Morning Train was in the Top Ten...

[bingbong35]

Hey siciliansummer. You maybe correct but also check out fisbee64's comment. I remember the song receiving airplay but "Morning Train" eclipsed it being that of a #1.

[ahfana]

yup-she s one of the very few artists to hav 2 top 10 hits in a same chart. thats quite an achievement

[martingerup]

yes it is

[miyatakazuhiro]

これぞﾎﾟｯﾌﾟｽ

[siciliansummer]

That is so true - miya.

[craigguy71]

what does this mean?

[siciliansummer]

I'm kidding! I have no idea. It probably means "wow, Sheena tunned out to be a hot mama after this video!"

[Azone01]

She was just a regular Scottish version of Olivia Newton John before Prince transformed her into a sexy sultry woman! Damn, I'm shocked to see her before "sugar Walls"

[siciliansummer]

Prince had nothing to do with "transforming" Sheena. Check out her pre=Prince videos like Machinery and Telefone. She was hot.

[Azone01]

True, but it was unnoticed until 1984.  She was'nt like she was on "Sugar Walls" or "Strut" though. Maybe when her music changed, so did she, completely.

[bookmistress4ever]

Great song

[bulner1]

a classic
