This was a huge hit at the New Wave clubs in the 80's. Such a fun time.
Great times Kathy!
Yep! Hot song!
I was a dancing fool in the clubs whenever Never Say Never was played. I miss those days soooo much đą
This is an 80's deep cut, man. I remember listening to this as a 13-year-old and thinking it was SO radical and shocking. I loved it.
Thank God for KROQ when I was 14
You have described this perfectly.
The genius of this song is that you cannot unhear it. And it grows on you.
One of the coolest songs ever.
A classic.
Cutting edge at the time.
Just fucking awesome.
Seriously. You had to be there.
I feel sorry for kids today.
As a mid-80s teenager, I feel SO BLESSED.
The music, as we experienced during that time, can't even IMAGINE anything that has or will be like it.
Ever.
Was just a moment in time.
Like I said, you just had to be there.
Brad & Lex, I remember playing this on the radio station. Their "A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)" was another dance chart top 20 song.
That's a great song too.
that was a great song
The entire album "Instincts" was unlike anything else out there, just brilliant! The only thing that comes close is early Motels, Total Control, etc.
"A Girl in Trouble" was written as a direct response to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean".
This is 80's New Wave. There's a lot of variety!
Huge hit in the 80s on KROQ in LA....I still love this song
The looks on Brad and Lex`s faces was absolutely hysterical. đ€Ł
We gotta throw em a curveball now & then...
When I was a teen, we had to drive out close to West Port Plaza and Chesterfield areas near St. Louis to pick up a really weak signal from the college station to hear stuff like this. Good times.
Romeo Void †New wave punk band from California.
Love this band. Another is A Girl in Trouble is a Temporary Thing.
Yes, another great song! This brings back memories.
One of my favorites!
An absolute hidden gem of the 80s. I heard this song at a club that played rock/new wave in one room and pop/dance in the other. The rock/new wave room was smaller and had fewer girls in it so we rarely ever went in there. We ventured into the rock/new wave room and heard this song. It stuck in my head forever. Back then, when we heard a song at a club but never heard it on the radio, we most likely would never hear it again let alone know the title.
Absolutely classic! Havenât heard this for years.
The woman singing is quite an artist.
'I might like you better if we slept together.' Was like the total vibe of the late 80's in SoCal. God I miss it.
A couple friends of mine and I not only LOVE this song, but think it's one of the greatest songs ever. It hasn't aged at all, and still has that stripped down intensity and grit over a chunky dance beat. And then the sax...
Romeo Void, one of the very best "new wave" bands! I love this song and their "Girl in trouble is a temporary thing". I used to come home from work and put on "Never say never" and totally rock out!
I love the longer mix of "Girl in Trouble", more Saxophone
The whole album is worth a listen. Debora always brought it!
Their album after that one was, at the time, rated one of the 10 best of the year by Playboy Magazine. Yeah, I used to be a subscriber.
Debora Iyall is and awesome vocalist. After retiring from music she went on to become a high school art teacher in Southern California. Romeo Void was one of the best bands out of San Francisco in the 80s.
Saw them at the Boulder Theater in 82. What a Great Show!!
Sadly This band is underrated as the record exec's didnt think Deborah had the right body image to make it.......truly sad industry!đ
This song and "Wrap It Up" were played on the radio (KROQ) at the time.
They had a few songs that were radio friendly but, being the eighties, her looks weren't video friendly.
I think it was at Magic Mountain when we saw them and my friends and a few other groups walked out because they said, "THAT'S how she looks!?".
Actually heard a KROQ dj disparage her looks before he played the song. It was either lightening or striker on a flashback weekend. đ
@@selenieg9532 not sure if we tuned into the radio at the same time or if they did it on multiple occasions but I remember hearing them clown her on KROQ too!
Record execs almost always suck.
I'd say they captured exactly the audience they should have. Good bands succeed despite the record execs. In fact, if the execs promoted them, maybe their career would have tanked. Fringe is good sometimes.
Back in the day there was a VH1 show called bands reunited. They had romeo void on, they all seemed happy to play again. Unfortunately, the sax player could not he started losing his hearing but he was outside during rehearsals. I started to cry cause you see it in his body language and eyes he just wanted to play with his friends again. Should look it up for free time it is a wonderful episode.
Absolutely one of my all time favorite songs. Everything about this song just slays. I really dig the diversity in the songs selected for reaction.
Lex, it *is* '80s New Wave, a guitar-heavy side of it, but New Wave nonetheless! This cut had such a cool vibe.
No. This was Pumk Rock. Punk Rock was originally much more diverse than the limits you and others put on it. It was late 80s and 90s that redefined Punk Rock more narrowly, confining it to a certain formula. Original Punk Rock was not formulaic.
So how and why did this redefinition occur? Record company marketing. The A&R people signing punk bands left and right, but the marketing peopleâs only idea for selling records was to segment it and give different segments different labels. And music lovers such as yourself that didnât know any better accepted these labels. And bands accepted the labels because they were making money. Quite a few played into the segmenting to sell more records once they found their formula.
Funny thing happened, too. Haircuts and fashion became much stronger signs to differentiate bands than previously as the Punk Rock scene began splintering into all these segments. Sure, haircuts and stage clothing were an important part of punk scene /punk culture, but the signifiers werenât used to channel people into different scenes. The signifiers werenât as strong.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Nah. It's New Wave with a punk aesthetic...punk (d)evolved into pop punk in the 90s and beyond, with some exceptions, but those bands that stayed true never made it big because of the lack of support from the industry. So you are right about that..
@@MarcosElMalo2 a lot of New Wave was punk influenced.
the thing i love about your channel is you have literally done a reaction on everything like all the greats bands and song itâs just perfect like idk you two are so great and you reactions seem genuine
This is 80s new wave/post-punk.
One of the best, Debra Iyall doesn't get credit for the pioneer that she was. She is a Native American and an intense artist. One of the best of the early post punk bands out of the West Coast. Like others from that era they were looking to expand the punk rock sound through dance.
Romeo Void sucks! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
@@ericsierra-franco7802 weirdo
â@@ericsierra-franco7802are you still angry because you can't get laid until your credit card clears?
"Never Say Never" was a top forty hit in 1982. The video spoofs Jean-Luc Godard's classic 1960 film, Breathless, starring Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo. Romeo Void's singer Debora Iyall, grew up in the same city as I did, and while I met one of her relatives several years back, I've never met her. To place her in contemporary category, you could say she was the Lizzo of the early eighties.
That's not fair. Lizzo is human garbage being propped up for an evil agenda.
Show me the chart where this is in the top forty in 1982. I don't believe it. In my part of normal caucasian 'Merika, this song was not played on the radio and it was not a "hit". College radio stations would play it, and dance clubs certainly played the crap out of this banger. But in my part of this lovely world, the general public NEVER heard this song. I don't even remember the it being big on MTV, although I'm pretty sure it was played there.
@@naytonestew7202 - Of course this video was on MTV - it's why she was barely featured in it.
Romeo Void even appeared on American Bandstand.
They didn't have much to say other than that she splashed paint on her jacket.
@@naytonestew7202 This song was played on our local New Wave Radio station here in Miami called K-102 and it was all over MTV at the time as well. Perhaps your part of "Merika" was Conservative and stations were afraid about playing a song where a Female is on the prowl for sex?
@@naytonestew7202 Iâm sorry you had to grow up in ânormal caucasian âMerikaâ, but at least you made it out, right? Hopefully youâve been able to broaden your horizons.
This IS 80s new wave. New wave comes in a lot of styles.
I freaking LOVE THIS SONG - you guys continue to surprise me lol
New wave with killer bass lineâŠ.great deep cut to react to.
New Wave always had room for dominant bass
The most underrated punk/new wave band ever IMHO. And absolutely fabulous live. Glad you played it.
One of them, for sure. Personally, I think X was more underrated. But if weâre going to have the underrated olympics, what about the New York Dolls?
This is quite possibly THE quintessential New Wave song.
Another who speaks the lyrics: Jim Carroll, a revered New York poet who recorded a few albums and whose story was told in "The Basketball Diaries" -- named after hos incredible teenage memoirs -- with Leonardo DiCaprio portraying the Jim Carroll character.
His big hit was "People Who Died," but his masterpiece is "I Want the Angel."
All the people who died is one of my ALL time favorite songs!!
Iâd love for you to play âPeople who Diedâ,please.
Yeah, Carroll's "People Who Died" is an essential part of underground late 70's- early 80's.
Man I haven't heard this song in forever
It's about time we get to hear this....loved it. Listening again.
Romeo Void, what an awesome name for a band! Definitely brings me back to my college days!
Excellent choice, you two. This is what the early '80s and MTV were all about.
This Song was an early MTV Fave, w/a B&W music video that spoofs Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. The Song Peaked at #27 on the Mainstream Rock chart in OCT 1982.
I saw Romeo Void at âThe Barnâ, a small capacity venue, on the UC Riverside Campus in 1982 when this Song came out. Great Live Band.
The Barn?
That's even before Bill Fold (98 Posse, Golden Voice, Coachella,...) was putting on shows there.
Nice to see someone reppin' the IE.
I grew up about a mile away from there (In The Village on Canyon Crest Drive.)
@@johnstjohn6658 Some of the Best Shows Iâve been to were at The Barn. Wall of Voodoo NOV â79 was Amazing. Aquabats, The Blasters, so many.
Itâs not the same now, rebuilt.
Always loved this tune! Indeed, criminally underrated as other have suggested!
One of the best club songs ever! When this song came on in the club everyone went to the dance floor period!
She actually wrote this song about one of the band members, who had no clue it was about him. She eventually told him many years later.
I love you guys! I have been waiting for someone to react to this classic 80s banger for YEARS. You guys rule, thanks for taking a chance. This band also has a great track called "A Girl In Trouble Is a Temporary Thing"
Great one. I remember dancing to this back in the day. I believe we thought of this as New Wave. Very trippy anyway
Not "maybe", but "maybe that's never" - that's how I read it.
Strat + chorus + harmonics = bliss!!!
Finally. Criminally underrated postpunk.
I've never heard of this band but enjoyed it.They gave me Cherry Bomb by the Runaways vibe.
They formed the same year the Runaways called it quits, 1979. Romeo Void was a SF Bay Area band, the Runaways were Southern California/L.A. There was a lot of cross fertilization between L.A. and San Francisco. No doubt the Runaways had at least some influence on the band and the Runaways obviously paved the way for woman fronted Punk Rock bands.
One of the best songs from the early 80s...a true classic.
Man does this song bring back the memories!
Boy, talk about dredging one up out of obscurity. But a great rock 'n roll record. I remember when the radio station I was programming in Texas switched to a "Rock of the '80s" format, but we didn't tell our sales department ahead of time (we couldn't risk them leaking the plans because it would get to our competitors. The morning we made the switch, I got a call at home from our Sales Manager when this song and "Da Da Da" by Trio aired at around 7:30 AM, and he had nearly sh*t little green men, not knowing what had happened to his radio station! I laughed my ass off. But it soon propelled our radio station into relevance in a very competitive market and the advertising dollars started flowing in, which made him very happy. I will always have a fond spot in my heart for this song.
It was such a great time the 80sđ€đ€
I just love your reactions! Two amazing people!
It absolutely IS 80s new wave.
I do remember this song being played at clubs and on MTV when they actually played music. For a long time didn't know who sang the song but I loved the sound of it from the first time I heard it. You need to check out a "cheesy" music video but good one hit wonder song from the same time period called I Want to Be a Cowboy by the band Boys Don't Cry. It will put a smile on your faces.
The aesthetic youâre thinking of is "noir." Love this punk/new wave bop. Used to play it all the time on Y-107 fm, station I grew up listening to, 80âs and 90âs alternative rock. Those were good times.
Excellent song and great band!!!
It was bittersweet seeing them on VH1's "Bands Reunited"; the sax player couldn't perform with them as he'd suffered hearing loss in the intervening years :(
I believe he had developed a debilitating case of tinnitus.
Benjamin Bossi is the sax player. Unfortunately he recently passed away at the age of 69 on December 13th from early onset Alzheimerâs.
I like the occasional look by Lex that seemingly says, "What the f*ck is this?"đ
Featured on the the forgotten 80's movie Reckless starring Daryl Hannah and Aidan Quinn.
yet another band from my area. This song would set a rock club's dance floor ablaze.
Lex!! Spot on with the vibe. đ The impression was SO 80's. Greatness. Like, totally.
Very fun '80s new wave, post-punk/dance-punk group from California like Missing Persons and The Motels (similar to Romeo Void) also similar to The Pretenders, Altered Images, and Gang of Four . They also had the Blondie and Berlin vibe, too. Only with saxophones (like X-Ray Spex, The Waitresses, Men at Work, Oingo Boingo, etc) . "Say No". "Chinatown", "Undercover Kept", and "A Girl in Trouble" also very good songs and video from them, look at those. The singer is latina or Native American.
This song has come on several movies like Dodgeball, Reckless, etc. Also on GTA Vice City video game.
Queen of the Stone Age covered this song very well, too.
So happy. This song ROCKSđđđđA girl in trouble is amazing.
Romeo Void was sort of a cross between New Wave and Retro-Punk in the late 80's, they had a fun, brief run.
Late 80s???
The song was released in 82
I guess you came to the party "late"đ€Ł
@@162berto I was going to point out the same. People thinking they know something, they didn't live.
@@162berto Band formed in 1979, also. Iâm getting tired of this categorization fetish inspired/imposed by record company marketing departments. Also, âproto-punkâ. If there were 20+ bands* in 1970 playing âproto-punkâ worldwide, maybe punk rock didnât start in 1976, or whatever year you want to assign. (As I type this, Iâm listening to the New York Dolls first LP, recorded in 1973. The group formed in 1971.)
*that we know of. How many garage bands that never achieved recognition were playing early punk rock? We will never know.
@@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817 We need a name for these folks. How about Rock and Roll interns? Too insulting?
@@MarcosElMalo2 I was alive back in the 80's, in fact I graduated from college in 1982, I just didn't care that much about the New Wave/Punk stuff that was going on. I was still into the more traditional big rock bands, Led Zep, The Who, Aerosmith, Gratreful Dead, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, etc. I barely listened to the new stuff, I thought it was a little thin and not what I wanted to hear. A few years later, maybe ten or fifteen years later, I finally started to get into it, a little. So fucking chill dude, what if I just put 80's or late 70's, would that make you happy? Chill.
I loved this song. they sometimes played it at the local bars.
This is going deep into the recesses of punk/new wave 80âs. Remember as a kid because a cousin of mine played it nonstop. Debora IyaII was not your typical 80âs female singer. She looked like normal people and not supermodel or all drugged out like some the female new wave looked.
@Brad & Lex - I scrolled through quite a few comments, not all, but I had yet to see anyone give you some true history of this band. I don't know it all, I'm just recalling what I remember from that that time. Romeo Void, like REM and The B-52s were all college art student bands. Romeo Void came out of Berkley or Stanford [CA] I just don't remember which. Both REM and B'52s came from GA schools.
Whenever this song came on the radio, I'd say, "turn that up!".
That was back when I was young. Yes, a very early 1980's song.
Not big on punk in general, but I like her attitude; she's got the punk thing down.
This is not punk.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie OK, "post punk." Happy?
@@BalbazaktheGreat I wouldn't even call it that, though. It's too poppy. It is a COVER of a punk song, though. Is that what you meant?
@@BalbazaktheGreat Stick to your guns. Leslie doesnât know what theyâre talking about. He/she/they have a very limited understanding of music. This is the mentality of those that 1) base their smug opinions on limited experiences and received âwisdomâ, and 2) have a categorization fetish.
You might be surprised at what was considered punk back in the day, before record company marketing departments invented various categories and shoehorned bands into them.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie You donât know what you are talking about, at all. Educate yourself and broaden your mind. Maybe then your opinions wonât suck.
Saw this band perform several timesâŠ.loved the debut album the mostâŠ..they were kind of similar to Joy Division, but more danceable.
didnât sound like JD at all
Right around the same time, this song came out and it was only played in clubs [concerning the USA]. The song is by RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE and the song is "Biting My Nails"
Great alternative punk band from San Francisco. Lots of fun to see live back in the day.
Slam dancing memories from the 80's! Love it â€
This was a great song used in the movie Reckless from 1984. Darryl Hannah and Aiden Quinn starred.
And in GTA: Vice City.
I was introduced to this song via the QOTSA cover.
Man I've been pushing for this one to be played for a while and it finally got played when I wasn't around. đ
Yay, finally someone covering this dark dance classic. Covered Waiting Room by Fugazi, too. Good on yuh! Mental Hopscotch next! Then some Industrial, try Dog Star and God OD by Meat Beat Manifesto and Headhunter by Front 242 to start with, deep cut: Motorcycle Maniac by Three Angry Poles, then Motorcycle by Sheep On Drugs, lol. Keeping with the vehicle theme, Devil Bunnies by My Life With the Thrill Kill Cult. Top 10 Best-Ever bass lines. And for an all-time best alt remix: Soon by My Bloody Valentine (Andrew Weatherall remix, aka, Glider EP remix).
I'd call this New Wave / New Romantic and a touch of Ska. Try Adam Ant when you get a chance. Either "Ant Music" or "Desperate But Not Serious"
Lex will love "Stand and Deliver" or "Goody 2 Shoes" videos/songs from Adam and the Ants. Great drums, bass guitar (Brad will like it, too). She'd be dancing all over that couch and giggling. Very upbeat new wave/post-punk. Or be distracted by the bands good looks and crazy outfits, hair style. lol
Ooooh I loved Adam Ant's "Desperate but not serious"! That song and the video were so cool also.
Yes as said earlier... Deep 80's new wave/punk-ish... Lol, dancing hard to this song wigging on MDMA. đł
Ric Ocasek from The Cars produced the EP for this song. Romeo Void also performed this song on David Letterman as well. You should check out a few of their other songs as wellâŠ
Your Life is a LieâŠ.. Another good oneâŠ. The whole album Instincts is pretty good. Definitely worth a listen if you like 80âs musicâŠ
Itâs 80âs punk, most definitely . I danced to this at Exit punk bar in Chicago back then. Type in Exit Chicago Halloween 1985. Itâs video of some of the regulars back then. Youâll see a tall black guy in it. I use to hang with him while there, his name was Maddog . Super nice guy, I heard he passed away years later, Iâll soon be 61.
1984 flick called Reckless staring Aidan Quinn and Daryl Hannah. The scene on the dance floor is totally memorable
đâ€
100 percent pure attitude!
I absolutely LOVE the fact she didn't look like the typical front woman back then
Their album Benefactor plays like a greatest hits of post punk pop. Brilliant
This reminds me of Missing Persons and Waitresses 1982 era
This epitomizes 80s music love it
Romeo Void does not get enough alone. Awesome reaction.
WOW wasn't expecting this one! Nice to see you guys straying off the beaten path a bit! Great reaction!
this lady is legend
Queens of the Stone Age did a very nice cover of this song.
thats the first version I heard. didnt know it was a cover at first I just thought Josh was just wildin' with his lyrics
The QOTSA cover is such a banger. Both songs are great, but I love that they Queens transposed the sax to guitar. It fucks!
I also believe that this was one of the very first if not the first MTV music videos out there the very first 1 unbelievable
"I thought this was going to be, like, 80s new wave!" WTH? This is one of the defining new wave songs of the 80s!
Classic and that Chic is/was still rockin
Still love this song!
Romeo Void weâre obviously heavily influenced by the British Punk band X-Ray Spex. You should check out their songs âOh Bondage, Up Yours!â and âGerm-Free Adolescentsâ.
I absolutely love this song!
I first heard this song on something called the USA Network's something called Night Flight. Late night on weekends, you would find things like Andy Warhol's Dracula and Frankenstein. And this song. Debora Iyal is the living embodiment of attitude.
