This video represents the era when MTV was a music network.
"What do you mean MTV had no reality shows or no commercials?!"
- the young crowd at my job
Exactly
There was a time, when MTV first started, these guys had four songs on MTV that played regularly. Think about that!
They were the headliners on MTV's New Year's Eve Ball I think it was 1981? !!!!
Wow. Takes me right back to 1981. I'd forgotten how great this song was.
One of the most fantastic PowerPop
slbums ever recorded.
This should have been promoted
bigtime,but as it stands it still
encapsulated an era that came and went
way too fast and should not be ignored.
This band is perhaps Atlanta’s best kept secret! This song is so catchy!
I picked up a box of cassettes from a guy who worked at a radio station (i think) in the 80’s & this song was recorded onto it among other artist’s. Amazing luck to run into them otherwise I’d not know of them.
Agreed!
Then why you keep talking about Danny Dillard walking around like a dismounted knight brandishing the pool skimmer like a lance?
But then Danny Dillard had extracted a small frog from the drain Portal in the pool .....one of those lime green ones,with the cream colored abdomen......."my pool Holmes" he e says...."my pool here slick"
@@andrewbrown2888 lol
Thank god someone posted the unaltered version.. Great time
..Great Song!!
This is a Fabulous Song!!
This is actually very "altered" from the original album version..
Idk but whatever the key player has got ...I want some of that !
The keyboardist stage name is WAYNE FAMOUS. He was the most visual element of this band.
I met the guitar player - - think his first name is Kyle. He was using the bathroom before they played at the arcade in Youngstown Ohio. I was going to the bathroom and turn to my right and he was using the space next to me. And I just said hey to him I don't remember if I said anything else. It was at the height of their popularity they also had she Sheila out. They were really cool guys
@@carlmorell567 Guitarist is Van, bassist is Kyle.
@@duffbaker9554 got it it was a long time ago I was kind of shocked that he was in there anyway
Saw them live at the LSU Student Union building where they put on a free concert sometime in 1983/84 timeframe. They were fatastic!
I'm 49 years old, born in 1973, and remember this song when it first came out. My 10 year older Uncle turned me onto them, and I've listened to them ever since, and never stopped. They guys made great upbeat happy music. The kind of music you can listen to driving down the highway, in a Jeep, with the wind hitting your face, while you are having one of the most enjoyable and memorable times of your lifer. Hey! 🥁 🎸 🎶 ❤
I miss the 80s so much
This song is so good , but to short , so I have to hear it again
I think INXS was one of the best bands of the 80s. So what have they got that the Producers haven’t got ? Absolutely nothing. The Producers should have been just as big as INXS .
What did INXS have that the Producers didn't? A successful label. Despite their talent, the Producers were horribly mismanaged throughout their career. Their last album, recorded in 2012, wasn't even released.
Not to mention, they had Michael Hutchence. Everybody that knows that there was just something about them that sucked people in. the personality the look the attitude. The producers for good. They had a really good sound of really well previous songs, but you can tell from this video they came out, hitting heavy, like they were mega stars but just didn’t have that hidden magic. It takes to go from good to super.
Inxs had an incredible vocalist .. the producers had great songs and good vocals but lacked that great frontman voice
@@e.m.b2834the Beatles themselves missed that too, and succeeded regardless... Lennon went to say that if he could have convinced Smokey to sing with that golden voice over his poor nasal drone in the Beatles, he and Macca would have been beyond happy to sing chorus to him and their records improved to where they couldn't perfect it. In fact Paul had to take lead often because the songs required higher notes than John couldn't. Not that McCartney's or Harrison's were a superior class either. Forget about Ringo's. They missed a true gifted singer for the top quality of lyrics they concocted. And they knew it. Which is why many have done better on sales for the unmatched songwriting quality of songs Bob Dylan has ever crafted. And still with his poor quality old man voice when he was still young, his star flew high. But Beatles original manager and followers, as Bob Dylan's knew they had gold and made superior efforts to place their acts out there and beyonds. Many with less talents have been sold like French fries however having no burger meat on the happy meals. Production before the Age of DiY online Media and Taylor Swift own management
@@pendragonUI read this a few times and still not sure what you meant.
This chorus has rattled around in my head forever.
as it should.
Incredible band!! Still listen to them ALL THE FREAKIN TIME! Most under-rated drummer ever? Dude is so in the pocket, always! Thanks for posting. : )
oh I KNOW, right?!! and I LOVE how he makes that "crazy facial tick!!! every time he hits the snare!!! LOL
This song is simply perfect. Everything fits together so well. Superb singing.
This band kicked so much ass.
They certainly did 😂😁😊🤗👋! Everything about them is so wonderful 👍😊! 3:21
The 80s were fun, IDGAF what anyone says
The balding guy was getting down! lol. My hometown heroes from the ATL!
Wayne Famous
@@brianezell5790 Thx. Brings back good memories
...good ol' early MTV...
My dad loved this song, and also laughed a lot seeing the guy at 1:02 with the Piano, ...life is too short.
If you ever saw them live, you know what great musicians and showmen they really were.
How cool were the 80's !
I saw them open for Toto 1982 at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, Virginia. The early days of MTV were fun.
My Best Friend Chris Merritt would do the Wayne Famous Dance whenever we'd score weed. lol-the good old days
Too funny!
I love their first two albums. I never understood why they didn’t catch on in the US.
The main reason was that they were badly mismanaged by all their labels. After their first two albums, their original label dropped them for some reason. In 1989, they recorded another album for MCA Records, one of the top labels in the 80s, but for some reason, MCA never released it; it was finally released 12 years later by another label but didn't do well. Their last LP, recorded in 2012, was never released at all. These stupid music execs didn't know a good thing when they had it.
Quality does not guarantee success in the music biz
This is such a bop!
Power Pop
He's got you. Defeat.
I want you, Diana...I need you, Diana...a fav song from my youth.
Great song from the greatest era of songs !
They played several times at the Iron Horse a really cool bar I worked at back in the 80's down in Thibodaux La. We were always packed when they played.
In the early 80’s we had the Producers & REM in the Athens/Atlanta area!!! Totally 100% different, but both were so AMAZING!!!
I miss this era of hard driving power pop bands!
This song is one of my favorites! 🎸🎵😎
Any musicians dream: To be in a video like this. Looks like they had a blast to this rockin' tune!
LIVE @ The PEABODY HOTEL in Florida!!! (woot woot!) in 1984!!!!
best day of my life !!
fact !!! :-)
Wow. So many memories. Good ones. 😎😎😎😎😎
Got yo see them play live at a New Wave music festival in Puerto Rico back in '81-'82 and they were the headliner and they rocked the place.
One of my fav bands from the 80’s💗
Bryan Holmes is a very talented drummer, and his facial expressions at 02:14 and 02:54 make me think of John Cusack.
One of my favorite videos from the old MTV days!
I was fortunate to see them in a small club in ABQ around 1984. I was completely blown away. TWO great singers. Total pros. I asked Wayne about his Oberheim rig and he talked with me like we were old friends.
Sadly, Wayne lost part of his leg and was not doing well but a gofund me account helped him get treatment and a prosthetic leg. Last I heard he is doing much better now..
I was there! It was at the Hungry Bear just off of I-40. Great show! Amazing energy!
Great story. Thanks for sharing
Just an incredible group of talent
Classic! Awww the good ole days❤️❤️
The music scene in Atlanta during the 80's... so proud to say I was there!
perfect song
The Producers” from Atlanta, GA in the summer of 1982, and then again on January of 1983, they traveled and performed in concert in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
They were so popular that the band was treated like super stars, with their music becoming “a cult” for generations decades and decades later until nowadays.
Killer song.loved it when I first hit mt.v..all those years ago.what a time.
Cool always love their music eary mtv when it was cool
A great sound
I just thought of this chorus I had to look it up. One of those hits that should have been bigger. It only bubbled under the hot 100.
The quintessential 80s band
Real musicians playing real instruments and singers actually singing what a concept
Saw The Producers at the Mad Monk in Wilmington, NC in 1985!
Still a great band!
I saw them down in the Dominican Republic, the show was spectacular; they sound so good, exactly the same as in the recording, what an under-rated band
Oh, how I miss this band!
so 80's 😀
As a child in 1982 watching this on MTV I wondered to myself, "Why is that old bald guy rocking out like he's young?"
Now at 50, I'm wondering the same thing.
Still Sayin “Amercas Best Kept Secret”! Phenomenal Band every time I got to see them! Right Jim,Tony,Scott?!
This was great but “She Sheila” was the 💣!
I saw Kyle Henderson do this song at Universal Studios Florida. I believe it was July 4th either 2002 or 2003 and I think he called his band the Kyle Henderson project or something like that at the time. Great underrated 80’s song.
So many parallels to The Elvis Brothers, also on the Portrait label.
Wayne Famous!!!
"Wayne Famous" - FOREVER !!!!! 🙂
Great song!
If this is The Producers' official channel, they really should upload a version with good audio. Someone wore out the tape on this one.
I love that song and that band!!
Gotta love the unconstructed suits
That keyboardist needs a raise
Never heard of themin SoCal until now, heard today on vevo alt80s on pluto.
The energy is infectious.
What does he have that I do not have?
Great band! I bought their album "You Make The Heat" after seeing them on MTV.
Saw them open for U2’s War Tour in Chapel Hill. Loved these guys.
OMG!!! HOW COOL IS THIS!? THANKS TO ROBBYN DANNER MASTER FOR POSTING THE PRODUCERS ON FB!!
I never saw the band live but incredibly ran into Wayne no less than 4 times at shows in Atlanta and the old Fantasyland Records location. A super nice guy. Great band. They could have been huge. Same producer as Cheap Trick (Tom Werman).
Wayne comes from a great musical family. His cousinplayed sax for Tommy Dorsey. I am one of his cousins. I just mailed him a copy of my book Facing The Hbomb a true story about me disarming a live Hbomb in a B52 Bomber crash during the cold war.
Jeez it's ridiculous. I'm 55 and watched the and miss it so bad. I listened the day they did the in
🤘🤘👏👏
If this song doesn't make you want to get a circle pit going I just don't know what you're about
Hey! Theres my Dad!
40-ish years...where does the time go?
Here children, we see the 1980’s trying their hardest to be the 1960’s…
Keyboard guy looks like Our Director..only acts waaaaay cooler
This song was the 2nd video/song ever played on MTV! These guys hail from Atlanta, Ga (my home town) and was the 1st multi platinum super band of the MTV era. Oh my.
.....You Better Run by Pat Benatar actually.....
And neither were they multi-platinum..or even platinum..though they should've been.
@@phishbill Oh no they hit platinum with the 1st album and were the 1st mtv mega stars, but as fate would have all the 1st 10 bands aired on mtv, they all were 1 shot wonders either by song, video, or album although The Producers managed to do well with their 2nd album also but by the 3rd were yesterday's hotshots.
@@kgtmustang Sorry, dOOd, but you're trafficking in alternate facts there. Their self-titled first album only got as far as #163 on the Billboard 200 album chart, not exactly making it platinum..and their subsequent albums wouldn't even chart that high. And amongst the first ten bands on MTV were The Who, The Pretenders, REO Speedwagon-not exactly one-hit wonders. The Producers were terribly overlooked in their time, though. They deserved better.
@@phishbill facts, right here^
I actually saw them in concert. 81 or 82 I think they opened for the B52's Not sure.
Larry Miller on keyboards just kidding I know it’s Wayne
The drummers fills reminds me a bit of Keith Moon. Not surprising really.
Wayne Famous.. Where are you...?
I have a policy of never writing negative comments, but what were you thinking. I had an excellent video of this song in my 1980s music playlist, but CZcams just took it down. now i look for another What He's got to replace it, find this, and there's 48 seconds of inane talking. I love this song... People love this song... not talking. when you click on "What He's Got" you expect to hear "What He's got"! Please reconsider, and post the song by itself.
it would be amazing if you lower the topic table for one
I didn’t know Larry miller was in the producers
Hey ITunes, please offer the Producers library !?!?
Tiene un gran parecido al I LOVE LUCY, diría los mismos acordes
Tienes razón
It's older chords, in an almost rag-time but uptempo into Power Rock. Paul McCartney had the same background, and one can pick the bits of it in many of his songs and those with Lennon in The Beatles (Obladi-Oblada the most obvious) he acquired such, from listening to his father own band playing Ragtime music already way old after WW2
"I love Lucy" is mostly Reggae but older too, in swing's style altered or updated to like the great Jimmy Buffett used to do with simpler songs
Always dug Wayne Famous
Ty Tabor brought me here
One of my all time favorite one hit wonders. I remember at age 13 recording this song off mtv on my little cassette deck. It was one of mtvs first videos back in 1981 and I remember staying up all night watching mtv because it was brand new with nothing but around the clock music. I can’t believe this awesome tune is not available on apple music
Hardly one hit wonders.
@@vincetate8362 my bad you’re right this song didn’t even chart
@@maiden-eq4uv Yea, this wasn’t the most popular band but their songs are AMAZING and easily way better than many other hits of “famous bands” :)
Kyle Henderson was a good singer but Van Temple was the better of the two and for me the signature sound of the Producers.
The Producers could have been a top 80s band but throughout their career, they were plagued by bad luck with their labels. They were dropped by their original label after just two albums. Guitarist Kyle Henderson left the band a little later and their third album hardly got any playing time outside the Atlanta area. In the late 80s, they signed with MCA Records but for some reason, the only album they recorded with that label would not be released until 2001 (by a different label). The group officially disbanded (no pun intended) in 1991. They attempted a comeback in 2012 but for some reason, their last album was never released. One more thing, the keyboard player Wayne Famous today drives a taxi in Atlanta. Such a shame that a very talented band was woefully mismanaged.
Some successful entertainers say that their success is due partially to talent but equally due to luck. The first time I heard this was from Eddie Murphy's monologue when he hosted SNL in the 80s while still a member of the cast. The most recent was earlier this year when CZcamsr Sarah Funk said the only reason she was able to go full time on CZcams and quit her actual job was through a series of lucky accidents.
@@beppo2814 I would say most of it is due to good luck. It's not enough to just be talented. A good band and a good singer also need a strong label, a good agent and yes, a few good breaks to go their way. Billy Ray Cyrus once said that he was given the chance to record Achy Breaky Heart because no one else would (it was released once before by another singer but some of the lyrics were changed). And that was the song that made him famous. Before its release Cyrus was a struggling singer living out of his car. It just makes me wonder how many songs we never get to hear that were written by other talented bands who were just unlucky.
The keyboard player was so cliche for that era
another casualty of a-hole suits in the recording industry. same fate as badfinger but without the suicides. it was a helluva ride, tho.
This band was the victim of probably one of the most pathetic management and promotional failures in music history. This band was a no-doubter, a shoe-in, a gimme putt, but instead of 20 years of superstardom, this perfect storm of musical talent, ridiculously infectious tunes and fun personalities, was squandered by managerial incompetence.
