Lene, Klaus Nomi, Nina Hagen and Kate Bush - the great voices of new wave! We will never again see that many amazing singers exist on the pop scene - and all be at the top of their game - at the same time. Lightning like that can never strike twice.
She always had darkly strange wonderful videos, with cool weird pop-new wave songs, super catchy stuff, and very inventive. I love her, and Nina Hagen. Lene Lovich ROCKS ! Bob. G
What a fascinating woman. I was lucky enough to see her live in Edinburgh at the time of her first album. You get the impression here that behind that brief chat is one big intellect.
She is NOT a copy of Nina Hagen! Lene is her own person. And I am very glad she came along - her music is unique, I love her voice, and she is a wonderful person - you can tell through her voice and her expression. And she has probably the most beautiful eyes, ever. Lene, if you EVER see this....THANK YOU. My life would never have been the same without your albums. Thank you, wonderful one.
i've loved this woman and her music and her videos for decades. a friend once said "if you like Lene Lovich you'll love Nina Hagen - yikes! i thought she had an amazing voice but she looked and sounded like a fool with her vocal acrobatics and facial contortions - i'll take beautiful Lene anyday.
And, yes, I was In Love from first sight, and first Listen. And "Flex" is a MASTERPIECE, following the unbelievably incredible "Stateless". A True Goddess.
It always hurts to hear such a square person try and connect with visionary people. There is much deeper conversation to access if the interviewer actually had a clue.
Yeah, he couldn't even get the title of the song right. Where did the Australians come up with this New York bozo? Unfortunately, the "you pronounce your name weird" stuff could have come from any interviewer - it was just par for the course in 1983.
@@jhorton4791 Couldn't have blamed her if she'd given him the Pistols 'Grundy Show' treatment, even though by '83 people would probably have unfairly taken it as an old~hat publicity stunt. Mind you, when Grace Jones gave presenter, Russel Harty, I think it was, a 'barely - a - thing' slap for some similar nonsense a year or two later, it was the talk of the (British) nation.
When I was 9 and I bought this from wheelers I always presumed she was Swiss. Don't ask me why, I guess I thought that's how she sounded..still love her.
I've seen a few people comparing Lene Lovich, Nina Hagen and Bjork. Honestly, I don't think you can compare them. They're all awesome in their own way!
Loved this & I Say When .. I loved punk, new wave era of the late 70’s, lots of great weird stuff coming out of England. It kind of reminded me of the 60’s in England when artist juices were overflowing..
Got to see her live at the Austin Opry House. So much fun. She paved the way for the likes of Cyndi Lauper and I guess that Gaga person. I gather she's still going.
"Paved the way for cindy lauper and lady gaga" ? Their music are not like Lovich's sound and she wasn't the first eccentric female singer so... No not really.
The Slits , Siouxsie Sioux , The Runaways , Nina Hagen , Wendy O'Williams , Lene , Gaga , Delores O'Riordan , Sinead O'Conor , Sharon Den Adel , Sarah Brightman , Susanne Vega , Janis Joplin , the best voices of women in their respective musical genres, each era has its talent as there are others in the world !!!
I was (am) a fan of Lena's music and Salvador Dali's art. When I was at school at BYU-HC my art prof asked why I never listened to the lectures and always had on my Sony Walkman headphones. I was listening to Lena while he was discussing Dali and I pointed out an article about Lena visiting Dali in Spain. (Dali was his favorite artist - which I didn't know at the time.) The next thing I know, we got to listen to Lena during our art time.
What a lovable personality ! that's whereI coming from . my lucky numer 's one . these were new ideas for the early 20th century and even still in the 1980 's for a woman's pop song. But she never scared us . she dressed up all the surronding stuff but if you listen the words are fearless . My lucky number's two - might just be the real world and a nod to the mysteries of connubiality , community . We are never safe . either alone or especially blinded by marriage or love . Family however most seee as worth sacricing for . So maybe mother's love is the one love worth aspiring to . i will aspire to both - marriage and family love . She is an American . " This is my Party Dress ! she is fantastic a real artist . his questions show how far from reality the workaday snout is from what is real . Mother left her father and Lovich is Yugoslavian and was much longer . Lene is German . she seems really healthy and well-balanced in person . It takes a strong person to sustain a career in the music industry ! Hats off to this wonderful woman!
the original story of Its you only you...was the relation of Mercedes Seros in kabaret Eden in Palace Güell .Barcelona with German Prinz Ratibor and his dressed real woman appearing with a brave horse in the Klub in Karnival 1917...Merceditas Seros was only 17 years playing Mata Hari
Artsy shock performance girls were all the rage. Flamboyant costumes, cartoon makeup and quirky facial expressions. Cyndi Lauper, Toni Basil, Dale Bozzio, and of course Nina Hagen. But wait, is that Thomas Dolby on keyboards? He blinded me with science!
back in late 1978 when this was in the UK charts me and my rather..."imature" schoolmates would dial up the operator from a public phone box on our route home and screeeech the "o - o- O-o" bit down the phone at her.Back then British phone operators seemed to think they were Gods representatives on earth. Librarians STILL do!!.

@@josephirizarry5195 Correct she was way before Punk even.
Deborah harry crisis hynes dale bozio
True
You forgot Toyah Willcox
She’s so beautiful here and intelligent and classy! What a sweet woman!
she said " apparati" instead of "apparatus" so maybe take intelligent out of the description.
She always had darkly strange wonderful videos, with cool weird pop-new wave songs, super catchy stuff, and very inventive. I love her, and Nina Hagen. Lene Lovich ROCKS ! Bob. G
She stole my heart all over again.
IVE BEEN LISTENING TO MUSIC FOR 35 YEARS AND I JUST DISCOVERED THIS WOMAN 2 HOURS AGO BECAUSE SPOTIFY PUT HER IN MY LIST YAY !!!
Utterly charming. I was about 10 when she hit the UK music scene and she was amazing.
What a fascinating woman. I was lucky enough to see her live in Edinburgh at the time of her first album. You get the impression here that behind that brief chat is one big intellect.
She is absolutely NORMAL plus one of the kindest people you could ever meet. I love her to life not death.
I love her weirdness. Like her pal Nina Hagen, she is awesome.
Dang she looks amazing here…and that set is bad ass…. i thought it was lip sync, but then I realized that it is her singing live…awesome sound
She is still so beautiful and so brilliant and so stylish and magnificent.
Rottenn Jonny Stylish. 😂
Anon B lmfao!!!
Saw her @ The Palace, Hollywood, CA in 1990... Awesome show!!
You got to love the 80's. I did. I was never normal again.
She has a lovely speaking voice.
“New Toy“ was my favorite song
that was a wild one!
Love the set, Lene is a dominating force!
Woo! She's brilliant.
She is NOT a copy of Nina Hagen!
Lene is her own person.
And I am very glad she came along - her music is unique, I love her voice, and she is a wonderful person - you can tell through her voice and her expression.
And she has probably the most beautiful eyes, ever.
Lene, if you EVER see this....THANK YOU.
My life would never have been the same without your albums.
Thank you, wonderful one.
I agree! They both have similarities but they have differences too! By the way by any chance do you like Kate Bush? :D
I LOVE Kate Bush! Always have.
Cool :) I like all her music, but my favourite album has always been The Dreaming. Do you have a fave?
MyTopTens
Hounds of Love.
Yes... I love that album! Especially the Ninth wave.
I have always been in love with this lady. I was born too late for her but rite on time for her music, but a guy can still dream
she might be 28 years my senior but i still fancy the pants off her and seeing her in concert last month was a real treat.
She's fantabulous
She is a great songwriter. She wrote the lyrics to Cerrone's brilliant Supernature as well as her own material
A Highly intelligent and cultures Woman is Lene
I love her.
Me too, she was so awesome.
My neighbor in London for many years
I thought she lived in Swaffam?
Bryan R-W in the late 70s London Finsbury Park N4
@@carlwakefield889 no wonder she never wrote back to me, lol. Seriously, I used to send letters addressed to "Lene Lovich, Swaffam" hehe
@@carlwakefield889 Queen's Drive. a few doors down from me in late 70's. I'm still here!
Junior Rahman yes she lived end of queens drive by clissold im still there
Lovich would be right at home on H.R. Puffnstuf .
I think she is gorgeous :)
i know she is georgious
@Martin G That crap as you call it is her art.
@Martin G You can clearly see her face
i've loved this woman and her music and her videos for decades. a friend once said "if you like Lene Lovich you'll love Nina Hagen - yikes! i thought she had an amazing voice but she looked and sounded like a fool with her vocal acrobatics and facial contortions - i'll take beautiful Lene anyday.
I love me some Lene! Bird song, Angels . . Musical arrangements that snap, crackle and pop with imagination
Miss Don Lane..best variety show ever
I love all about LENE LOVICH she's. So creative vanguardist artist i love her !!!!!!!!!!
I remember well of her...great look and voice!
I think she handles this fucking buffoon with admirable dignity. A fascinating clip - thanks for posting.
He wasn't very kind to her - the snide asides were uncalled for.
Andre Wunjo
And it's LEn-AY not LEENah, right??
LAY-nuh LOvich, so fairly close.
She has got fucking awful taste in outfits. It is possible to be weird and stylish. She looks like a Muppet who's had a collision with a thrift shop.
Subjective "Anon B" ...subjective. (Look it up).
Geography teacher on drums...love it
I love this chick.
So do I ...cock.
Extremely smart as well as talented
She was terrific. What a star.
Probably still is.
One of my first ever vinyl single purchases.
And, yes, I was In Love from first sight, and first Listen.
And "Flex" is a MASTERPIECE, following the unbelievably incredible "Stateless".
A True Goddess.
"Flex" is one of my favourite albums as well.
Colourful and beautiful. Great song to.👌

Wow super interview!
What a true artist ❤
When I was 9 and I bought this from wheelers I always presumed she was Swiss. Don't ask me why, I guess I thought that's how she sounded..still love her.
I like Don Lane's interview with Lene Lovich.
yeah Don was OK, people used to hang it on him a bit
The 1 where KISS made a surprise visit Ace & Gene he was gud on & Don was genuinely surprised
Thanks for this download...
And yes, Lene Lovich is much loved..
jeez what a blast from the past id forgotten her apparently she"s 75 now! goodness!!!!
I've seen a few people comparing Lene Lovich, Nina Hagen and Bjork. Honestly, I don't think you can compare them. They're all awesome in their own way!
I wish she had acknowledged her band to the audience.
Love that song, What a crazy look.
THANK YOU! Only ever saw a preview of this performance on Don lane Show. Bow Down Lene, you look FIERCE FIERCE FIERCE! True HEAVEN!!!!!!!!
Great artist, song and performance, lena is a strong respectable women... the guys questions were bizarre , or in his words "weird" ..lol
haha she messed up the lyrics at 1:58 and made the most hilarious face.... gotta love a girl who doe NOT lip sync
If you would have been in her shoes (or slip.........) what would you have done, Miss hidden face knows it all...........? Laugh?..................
She probably messed up the lyrics because it is such a stupid show and she doesn't give a fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Relax kiddie.....
Jamie Campos Kiddie?!?.... I'm sure I am much older than you are....... lolllllllll!
You do not act older.
Love it how she surpsrised herself by messing up the lyrics in her own song at 1:55, like 'Wait, that was supposed to rhyme!'
Lene is wondermous. Fun girl 1 and more. Great time @ Camden Palace. **and Lene, if you happen across this remember the 'bolkan ---' ? M.
just a look of her beautiful sorceress eyes and you become a toad ! They are mesmerising !
Lady Gaga must watch this.....
Yes! I finally know how to pronounce her name correctly! Lene is awesome, this is a great video.
That is a great album. Saw that live in Dallas at The Agora.
Lena has psychic powers. I luv everything she does. Lena is a psychic power, to me.🖤🖤🖤🖤
Very beautiful woman.
Gorgeous gal! She's the only one l didn't see live. Saw Nina though! ln Vancouver for the ''Punk rock wedding tour''. lt was a _blast!_ man!
Lady Gaga and Madonna owe everything to Lene Lovich, Nina Hagen and Grace Jones.
May e Dale Bozzio and Cyndi Lauper but not Madonna
Im a sucker for beautiful eye's ! And she's got eyes that light up a room ! They say the eyes are a gateway to the soul ! I can see right in !
blue eyes!! wonderful!!
She's got eyes with pinhole pupils there. :) Grey eyes not blue.
She is so cute with those leggings. She is a very attractive woman, still.
@Martin G It's not like you can see her face or anything
I love her since forever
