I saw them open for Hall and Oates a few years ago. They stole the show.
I saw them and Garbage last summer. Fantastic show. The Tipping Point is a damn good album.
Jerry Seinfeld plays a mean guitar
It makes me feel nostalgic and I can’t even say why exactly.
I love this band. I was 7 when this song came out.
I love love loved their first album. Very deep and poetic lyrics
This song sounds like everyone’s last day of highschool
One of my favourite songs, but I’m pretty sure this is my mums lesbian netball team.
Great find! Love this song. One of 80s best.
I love song as it reminds me of being a young kid in the early 80s. I must of heard this song a lot then because this reminds me of those innocent days more than any other.
That was fun, thx!
Saw them a few years ago co-headlining with Hall & Oates. They still sound great.
I was at that show in Toronto at Massey Hall. 1 billion streams later, who would have guessed that 38 years later, this song is still played every minute somewhere.
Real Genius
Crowd is fuckin lit
I absolutely love that f****** song I don’t care what I’m doing when I hear that I just stop
They were my first concert. This same tour.
Finally, a non-horny old school post
Songs From The Big Chair kicked ass.
This is one of the best songs ever written. Free.
Seeing and hearing this , feel so nostalgic and almost melancholy. I want to go watch movies from those days. Like The Breakfast Club or St Elmo’s Fire or About Last Night (the first one).
Saw them on their Songs From The Big Chair tour and recently with Garbage and their energy and vibe was just as fantastic. I took my daughter who loves them and now she wants to see them again. Such a wonderful band and timeless music and sound.
I miss the 80s 😭
At :07 the lead singer tries to do a jumping dance move and his white sneaker goes flying. The camera cuts away but about 10 seconds later you can see the guitarist laughing at him while he makes an awkward smile and clap dances. Then about 0:23 you can see the crew racing to put the shoe back on him just in time for him to start the song.
Super impressed by this performance. No autotune, no backing tracks, yet they sound amazing. This is for sure one of the best 80s songs ever done.
Most middle school thing ever: a girl who I did not get along with had her best friend call me to tell me to listen to KROQ at 8:30. I tuned in and she had dedicated this song to me. SICK BURN!
As a joke, we were nominated and later won cutest couple in the 9th grade superlatives.
The secret sauce is the 3/2 polyrhythm the drummer is creating with the high hat. COMPLETELY different song without that, and highly unlikely that it would have been as big as it is. The whole album is phenomenal.
