I was a young wannabe filmmaker on my first attempt at directing a movie. It was the second day, going terribly, I have been up for two days straight and we just ended at 2am. Exasperated, I went to my car to relax before breaking down. This song came on, never heard it ever before, and it made my stress melt and filled me with such Joy. I sat there in pure euphoria. 17 years later it still brings me back to that wonderful moment.
Jesuschrist!!! Finally after 20 years I've got heard this song again. I didn't know the name and tried and tried to tell people the beat but they never knew. I was just a child the first time I heard it and some years later appears on a MTV prom. Today, 20 years later I got it.
acabo de escuchar una barra del mundial, del partido de Alemania Vs. Japón y recorde está canción, empecé a buscarla mediante mi silbido y la encontré!!!! Estoy llorando por mi hermosa infancia escuchando esta melodía y recordando a mi único hermano, una enciclopedia de la música pop rock en inglés y ahora ya no está, el covid se lo llevó hace dos años.
@@maesdiur lamento de lo tu hermano. Pero igual que a ti me pasó a mí, escuché esa canción cuando niño en una fiesta del colegio, 5to o 6to grado y luego en el 2003 en la radio. 6 hasta hace poco pude encontrarla y descargarla
Same here - an favorite of my early teenage years, 35 years ago. Found it again just now after finding "The Safety Dance" by the same band (another fond memory). Search for "The Safety Dance" if you haven't found it yet!
Gracias a Men without hats por darle a las tribunas de cada estadio el mejor tema que pueda existir, el tema más universal de las gradas y el que con más pasión se canta en cada estadio
@@breuers2gether998 That's the "big bonhomme" they talk about in the song. In Quebec, it'd be bonhomme de neige (snowman). Men Without Hats was a Canadian band. :)
Funny you should say that the world was perfect. I was in the Air Force and we were just waiting for the former USSR to "drop the bomb", as Alphaville sang. We came close to complete destruction of the world twice, in the 80's but yeah, they were still the best times of my life.

Ahh the 80's, back when women didn't mind being called "her, she, & ma'am, stewardess, bar maid, & waitress". In fact they were actually proud of being women. Nowadays its as if they are embarrassed about it & prefer being called "They" or "it".
A remake of the Safety Dance video with people dancing at a safe distance from each other would be even more appropriate... Even the lyrics fit the situation :o)
Unfortunately this wasn't a big hit around the world. Except in my home country Austria it was Nr. 1 some time and got some heavy airplay for some time in the year of 1988, thus making it a childhood memory of mine.
@@NewHorizons1980 It was popular here in Canada in the 80s, I remember hearing it all the time on the radio, and this video was on shows like Video Hits all the time.
Junius Go yeah even now the movies and music of the 80s is continuously revived and based on like the Predator, Rambo, Terminator, Alien, Ghostbusters and many more!
I notice that a lot of 80's movies and TV shows are being remade because precisely that reason I think. Somewhere movies and shows began getting too serious and empty, and maybe it's nostalgia speaking, but I swear things were better in the 80's and early 90's. Happier, more carefree, more heart
Everything was much more expensive to do. Music videos, albums, etc were much more expensive to make. The level of artistry that you see and hear in the 1980's comes from people who were at the very top of their craft. I'll give you another example. A picture came in a roll of 20. Once you used your 20 pictures, you had to pay to get it developed and then pay for copies of the picture. So people were more selecting of what they would capture on film or magnetic tape.
Qué bárbaro , todos los vídeos que están acá son y fueron cántados cada una con su letra x todas las hinchadas argentinas ,algunos temas de los 80 jajaja me iso acordar cuando yo era chiquito y las cantaba ... Y ahora en 2020 ya se argentinizaron parcticamente todas las hinchadas del mundo ... Estos de adaptar canciones es muy nuestro muy argentino
Great 80s music is timeless and ageless. Of course my favorite is "Safety Dance", but this is a great tune and great to enjoy, remember the 80s video vibes that they actually played on MTV, hence music television, not what they do now. Great music, love it and still enjoying it now.
better start in the 70's. 1974 was maybe the most importent year in Rock & Pop. All the GREAT Bands released the best albums. A very long list of edgy works,..
+Michael Chen 1974 hmm? let's see...New Pink Floyd? Nope. New zep? nope. bowie did release diamond dogs in 74 but that album may very well be his worst of the 70s. let's see....Dylan? Nope. The Who? Nope. Roxey Music? Nope. What kind of 1974 have u been listening to exactly?
Two days ago, I woke up with this chorus in my head. I honestly don't remember the last time I heard this song, before today. It's interesting how you remember things, and when they randomly hit you.
Exactly, recently I woke up with Star Wars soundtrack from Rogue one playing in my head, and immediately found song on CZcams and started listening, completely unexpected and suddenly
You do that too 🤫. There are some people that wake up every morning singing a different song in their head. Sometimes a very obscure song. But every morning.
@@rapturekevin yeah. Sometimes I will have the same song in my head for days, and other days I will have a new song daily. I don't mind, as long as it's a song that I like
I think it charted relatively high, if I recall. But IMO it is a better song than "Safety Dance," which was a massive hit. It's hard to predict those things!
Aahhh..... the 1980s, the greatest decade in human history. Iconic music, fashion, movies, technology and everything about life per se. Good times. Better days. Nostalgic. Long live Gen X! Greetings of peace and love from the Philippines.....
When I was in college there was this arcade in the mall called Aladdin’s Castle, they had this HUGE screened video jukebox, I was so addicted to this song/video!!! Anytime I was at the mall I’d have to stop there and watch this video several times! Lol… What great memories!!! For years I craved watching it again, thank goodness CZcams came along!!!
I loved this song when I was 15...Now? I am a 46 year-old with a 6 year old...I totally appreciate this in a new way...This is like the first song by a contemporary band that started doing kid's stuff...Like, later, They Might Be Giants did. Or, Barenaked Ladies...
The thing is, there was a sincerity they had that a lot of those later bands lacked. So many of them had an undercurrent of cynicism to them. These guys meant it (I mean, if you could figure out what the hell they were saying). The name of their next album after this was "The Adventures of Women and Men Without Hate in the 21st Century", so they weren't joking around. Thing is, that becomes your death knell if you also live in a cynical world, which is what the 90s was (which is part of why, as another example, someone Seal isn't more popular than he is despite consistently producing solid music), but I saw these guys live a few years ago, and they're just as awesome as they've ever been. And yeah, I'm close to your age (turning 49 soon), so we have the same twin perspectives on this. Now I have kids who were my age when this came out and I get to introduce them to it, and maybe they'll think their Dad's taste in music isn't so bad after all. :-)
+Bran Don todos estamos igual !! la encontramos muuucho tiempo despues de haberla escuchado en una disco , o en una cancha de futbol ... (en Argentina era muy popular !!)
I had the melody for this rattling around in my brain for literally decades with no song or band to attach to it. I was starting to think I just imagined hearing it. Then one day it played when I was listening to an 80's station. It blew my mind.
One of the finest and catchiest songs of the 80s that slipped through the cracks over time. Almost all retro radio stations either won't or can't play this song. Glad I found it here.
I was on my first trip overseas to Israel. We were in this hotel. I Turned on the radio and this came on. I leave Canada and I never expected to hear this
Yeah , lost 3 friends , my young sister and my dad, in 1980 I turned 13 and for the next 10 years life was awesome, free , fun at school, parties as a teenager, freedom from danger , death , anxiety and awesome friends...Now life has changed for the world
Hey, no problem. I'm a big Iron Maiden, Ronnie James Dio, and Black Sabbath fan, and love me some Dead Kennedys, TSOL, and The Cramps, but I am not at all ashamed to say this is one of the catchiest tunes I've ever heard. Absolutely love it! Oh--and UP THE IRONS!!!
So..came from the vet..missed 3 quarters of my work shift, got pulled over by cops on the way to work after and got 580$ not realizing being from another province that my license expired just. They let me go tho. But after all that. I think I broke. But then u know what happens? I never heard this song before and it comes on. I’ve never had such a mood change. I laughed so hard. Recorded it on my phone so I could find it later. Honestly. I think this song saved my life that day. Weird things happen for crazy reasons. I love this band. Thanku guys for being there for me even tho u didn’t realize it. I really needed that. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and fuck ya we can dance if we want to! Lots of love from Canada ❤️❤️🥰🥰😘😘
I grew up in the 80's yet never saw this video until now. Seriously, so much fun! If those reading this have never listened to the whole album, seriously , it's a masterpiece! Just brilliant!
Holy moly! A FE video from the 80s! I grew up with this song and probably haven't seen this video since I was a child! I even got to see Ivan at the Super Ex Cool FM concert in the 90s. Awesome!
When I saw Men Without Hats in Boston, June 17, 2015, they played this song. Ivan (lead singer) told us "This song was originally about mescaline, but now it's about getting your clothes REALLY clean"
He said the same thing when I saw them in LA! I don't know why we would doubt it. I mean, I would think that there is more to it than that, as songs like this have lyrics that can be interpreted in many ways, but I'd guess that mescaline was involved somehow, if he said it. I mean, dude was/is a rock star. He probably partied hard. In any case, they put on an amazing show, and the new tunes from the album Love in the Age of War are incredible. I feel so happy that I can go to a Men Without Hats show and actually want to hear the new stuff as much as, if not more than, the old stuff.
ESTA ORIGINALMENTE FUE UNA CANCION CREADA PARA UN PUBLICO INFANTIL PERO SU EXITO FUE TAN GRANDE QUE INCLUSO FUE ESCUCHADA POR GENTE DE TODAS LAS EDADES
True story: I heard this song a long time ago when I was young, maybe 4-5.. forgot about it till 1 day about a year ago I was grabbing some beer... this song was playing while I was there. I went home, this fucking song was stuck in my head ALL NIGHT!!! so fast forward a few hours of googling "duh-du-nuh-nuh-nuh-nah" and nothing turns up, i call my parents at 5:30am knowing DAMN WELL my mom sleeps with her phone on loud. She answers and says "WHAT?!?!?" I say "Mom, what is this damn song..." I hum the melody, she says "I dont fucking know!! Its 5am on a fucking saturday!!" My step dad (thank god for him) says "wait do the hum again" do I did & he says "that's pop goes the world!!!!!! Now fuck off" It's been in my playlist ever since. And people are now going through what I went through trying to find this song. 😂😂😂
Every time I hear this song I am instantly transported back to 1987, driving down the road in my dad's '74 Impala, blasting the radio with the windows down!
I had a dream that I met Ivan and I told him, "I was the one dancing at your show in St Hyacinth." and he said, "I know." following the snow!!!!!! love you so much
May 2024, this song still makes people happy.

This song was really popular in my college days, 1987. It was played a lot on MuchMusic which was always on the big screen in the student lounge.
I guess because we did not know back then if it was the J. Geil's Band, Daryl Hall, or John Mellencamp singing.
This song was in the top 20 on MTV for many weeks, but it never got much radio play.
Canadian bands in the 80s did not get much exposure.

I was on my first trip overseas to Israel. We were in this hotel. I Turned on the radio and this came on. I leave Canada and I never expected to hear this
Yeah , lost 3 friends , my young sister and my dad, in 1980 I turned 13 and for the next 10 years life was awesome, free , fun at school, parties as a teenager, freedom from danger , death , anxiety and awesome friends...Now life has changed for the world
I have officially found my favorite song
This truly deserved to be just as big a hit, if not bigger, than The Safety Dance. Also a song that I can totally imagine Devo performing.
I’m a metal/punk guy and I like this. Shhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Hey, no problem. I'm a big Iron Maiden, Ronnie James Dio, and Black Sabbath fan, and love me some Dead Kennedys, TSOL, and The Cramps, but I am not at all ashamed to say this is one of the catchiest tunes I've ever heard. Absolutely love it!
Oh--and UP THE IRONS!!!
this song always cheers me up when I am depressed.
Thank you for creating such a nice song.
Something is very wrong. That is NOT the song I remember hearing
Cuantos latinos escuchándolo en el 2019 reportense con su like
Viva los 80s viva el New wave 🎶❤️
Hoy como hace 32 años la digo escuchando.
México presente!!!!
Este hombre era perfecto. Masculino y lindo todo en uno. Me enamoré con 30 años de delay!!! Jajaja.
Saludos, desde Argentina
En Ecuador nos encanta el New Wave de los 80s, saludos ...
Que tiempos aquellos! excelente canción una de mis favoritas de la banda. Definitivamente esta música era mejor que la que stá sonando ahorita.
So..came from the vet..missed 3 quarters of my work shift, got pulled over by cops on the way to work after and got 580$ not realizing being from another province that my license expired just. They let me go tho. But after all that. I think I broke. But then u know what happens? I never heard this song before and it comes on. I’ve never had such a mood change. I laughed so hard. Recorded it on my phone so I could find it later. Honestly. I think this song saved my life that day. Weird things happen for crazy reasons. I love this band. Thanku guys for being there for me even tho u didn’t realize it. I really needed that. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and fuck ya we can dance if we want to! Lots of love from Canada ❤️❤️🥰🥰😘😘
ooooooh, dale, dale oooohhhhh, dale ohhh, dale ooooh, dale, dale ooohhhh
As a kid, I loved this song. Was one of my favorites.

この曲はサッカー日本代表の応援曲として使われております。そのため日本人のほとんどが聞いたことがあります。
I love Men Without Hats, one of the best bands of all time.
Patrick Ney,me too!!
With only two hits?
@@balikhartum6179 Right up there with The Beatles, apparently...
@@Nick_TV_Producer don’t forget The Rolling Stones too
@@balikhartum6179 plus other good non hits
But yeah get your point
I am 34 years old and this is the first time I heard this song. And I love it...
Same here and I’ll be 52 on Christmas Eve
I grew up in the 80's yet never saw this video until now. Seriously, so much fun! If those reading this have never listened to the whole album, seriously , it's a masterpiece! Just brilliant!
J'ai passé mon adolescence avec ce groupe originaire de Montréal et je les écoute encore.
Holy moly! A FE video from the 80s! I grew up with this song and probably haven't seen this video since I was a child! I even got to see Ivan at the Super Ex Cool FM concert in the 90s. Awesome!
Truth In Plane Sight ♥
I was born in 1970 and lived the big 80s in all its magic :))
Yeah me too😊😊😊
Me too we're blessed

When I saw Men Without Hats in Boston, June 17, 2015, they played this song. Ivan (lead singer) told us "This song was originally about mescaline, but now it's about getting your clothes REALLY clean"
Was he serious about the mescaline thing? He was just joking, right?
+Jenny Hatt I'm not sure, but hey! It's what he said!
It may be what he said but it's really about the globe earth/flat earth controversy/conspiracy. He was pulling your leg, mate.
+Xcorgi He was pulling his leg and for a few bucks he would have pulled something else of his. Har har!
He said the same thing when I saw them in LA! I don't know why we would doubt it. I mean, I would think that there is more to it than that, as songs like this have lyrics that can be interpreted in many ways, but I'd guess that mescaline was involved somehow, if he said it. I mean, dude was/is a rock star. He probably partied hard.
In any case, they put on an amazing show, and the new tunes from the album Love in the Age of War are incredible. I feel so happy that I can go to a Men Without Hats show and actually want to hear the new stuff as much as, if not more than, the old stuff.
ESTA ORIGINALMENTE FUE UNA CANCION CREADA PARA UN PUBLICO INFANTIL PERO SU EXITO FUE TAN GRANDE QUE INCLUSO FUE ESCUCHADA POR GENTE DE TODAS LAS EDADES
Se nota en el videoclip que fue pensada para público infantil
Stop with the BS! It’s a happy song for ALL AGES! Fue Una cancion para todos.
Pero si la letra no es para niños.
en mi pais Argentina, la hinchada de Boca Jr la "adaptò" como su tema para los partidos y aun hoy en dia suena en la tribuna
FINALLY MY FAVORITE POP GOES THE WORLD GET ME ❤️🤍💙
Men Without Hats are phenomenal!!
~Dutch
Ohh, dale dale Bo!! Dale Bo! Dale Bo! Dale dale Bo 🎶🎼🎶💙💛💙
💙💛💙😍
80s, 80s, What did you do to us?
😍😍😍
That mascot is straight out from a horror movie
Bonhomme! They say his name in the song, "and a big bonhomme" 😊
True story: I heard this song a long time ago when I was young, maybe 4-5.. forgot about it till 1 day about a year ago I was grabbing some beer... this song was playing while I was there. I went home, this fucking song was stuck in my head ALL NIGHT!!! so fast forward a few hours of googling "duh-du-nuh-nuh-nuh-nah" and nothing turns up, i call my parents at 5:30am knowing DAMN WELL my mom sleeps with her phone on loud. She answers and says "WHAT?!?!?" I say "Mom, what is this damn song..." I hum the melody, she says "I dont fucking know!! Its 5am on a fucking saturday!!" My step dad (thank god for him) says "wait do the hum again" do I did & he says "that's pop goes the world!!!!!! Now fuck off"
It's been in my playlist ever since. And people are now going through what I went through trying to find this song. 😂😂😂
Great story! lol
Funny. I still own the CD I bought in 1987. It's a great CD. There is also the video clip Moonbeam of the same CD that you can watch.
Gold. 👏👏👏🍻
Hi from Uruguay, thanks for the music 🍀🍁🎶
Years and years looking for this fantastic song, finally!!! wait is over. Thank you Jesus!🙌🏽🙌🏽
I love the dude who’s power-strumming an acoustic guitar
Just saw these guys live 30 years later... They are still out there and they still sound incredible live!
Not as much hair, though.
Cool!!

OHHHHHHH DALE DALE BOOOOO DALE BOOOO DALE BOOO DALE DALE BOOOO

Every time I hear this song I am instantly transported back to 1987, driving down the road in my dad's '74 Impala, blasting the radio with the windows down!
Lmao. 😂 I had a GOLD '72 Chevy Impala
I had a dream that I met Ivan and I told him, "I was the one dancing at your show in St Hyacinth." and he said, "I know." following the snow!!!!!! love you so much
They Told Us It Was Flat Back In The Day But We Were All Too Pre-Occupied To Realize That We Were Lied To On Such A Massive Scale ♥
