The debut single from 1985. A rocking cover of The Temptations' hit which wasn't originally on the UK album, Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven, though it's on all the reissues!
There's a great CD box set available from amazon.co.uk of the first four albums and bonus tracks.

Sad almost forty years later and this song rings more truth than ever
Even sadder ... it's a cover from many years before that :(
@@ChrsSprs and even sadder how bad this song is. Pop music!
....still stollen from the Temptations.
@@ChrsSprs and even SADDER is the high probability that the confusion will remain indefinitely.
@@Tacit_Tern It wasn't stolen, they redid it. I think they did a great job. Sometimes songs like this need to be redone in whatever type of music is popular at the time in order for people to hear it and understand why it was written.
"Ball of Confusion (That's What the World Is Today)" is a 1970 hit single for The Temptations written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong. I first heard the L&R version and loved it thinking it was their song. But, we must credit those who deserve it. Peace.
Yeah temptations original song but L@R perfected it, big up to the temps though
THANK YOU for saving me the research! Didn't Tina Turner cover it, too? I honestly thought she sang the original. Also, I believed it was a 70's era song, and had to retract that statement when my sister called me out on it with the "Reagan" reference.
@@davidcrock7068 As much as L&R's version is great, the Temptation's version remains the perfect version. David Ruffin was a demi god. czcams.com/video/LpUxgahyViI/video.html
Ruffin didn’t sing on BOC
@@flyingfishsurf I love every body's love for the various version. It is the best for who you love. I mean it is a fantastic song from all of them.
David J and his BASS LINES 😊
An incredibly talented band. So underrated.
They didn’t even write this song
The 80¨s were good indeed !!
We were all humans enjoying !!
one of the most kick ass covers ever!
I dare say Bauhaus’s cover of Ziggy Stardust is just as good if not better
Feb. 2023 ~ RIP Barrett Strong, co-writer of this piece.
As well as War (What Is it Good For?), Cloud Nine, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, many more.
Heard this last night for first time. It's amazing!!!!
Temptations were one of my favorite Motown groups. This is an incredible cover. Sad to see our current world has even more problems than back in the late 60’s & early 70’s…
This song is timeless
STILL HERE IN 2021 AND HOW THIS SONG STILL HOLDS TRUE!!!!!!
In 2023 too
@@martinehugenel452 2024 Update: Today everything's different. Nothing's changed.
The genius of the temptations is not to be denied AND Daniel Ash is a rock god.
I’m in 2021 and still loving some Love and Rockets.
"And the beat goes on!!" In 2022.
Back in the day, I loved cranking this song up on the ghetto blaster! 80's remakes of older songs rocked.🎸🎧
ball of confuison extended version, sounds a bit better being played @.75.
2023 still love it
I like it!! Always liked this song by the Temps. It stands true today.
We saw them at the Rits, NYC in the 80s. We knew about them already and that is why we went to see them. I can't recall the opening act, but the fact that we were this close to them and enjoyed the show, was amazing. Loved and love their music.
nice cover..
(The Temptation)
Great song still holds up even in today's society 😢
Absolutely amazing cover
Love this band! Love the Bauhaus! Dalis Car, Peter Murphy! All amazing!
Tones On Tail
@@JustineLaLobayes
one of the greatest covers... Word
250 People have no musical taste. This song rocked in the 80's and it rocks in 2020.
History rhymes as time goes by....And the band plays on!!!
If you're listen to this in 2022 you are a legend
2024 😅
My beloved Dad ( i Miss U!) Showed me this perfect Coverversion. And the Beat goes ON. ❤
My Dearest Friend, Mark Pearson, called me up and told me about this song when it first came out. Back in the 80’s! Love him and this song!
Daniel rocks 🤘!!! And the beat goes on!.
Almost all the lines in this song talks about how the word is today!
Its been this way for a long time
@@craigdrury4756 just a common sense song singing about what's always been here.. never gonna change...same in 2020 as it was when I first heard this back in the 80s..
Black Lives Matters F-UK TRUMP !
Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it EVER WAS!
This song suits the state of the world today!!!
more like the 60th anniversary
If anything, this song is even more relevant today than before! Society is way more a "ball of confusion" than it was in the 60s when it first came out.
Sorry. It came out in 1971.
This is the state of the world yesterday, today, and forever. The human condition.

Absolutely the best cover of this song ever.
U still listen to this?
Shit I'm a hardcore music lover and had no idea this was a cover🤔🙃 I 💕 Love & Rockets
Great interpretation of an all time great. Tremendous cover.
Love this version ! Here we are on a verge of War, it's October of 2023 everything in this song still rings true today ! History repeating itself in real modern times. We didn't learn anything , the world is still a 'Ball of Confusion"... and the beat goes on .....round and round and round we go , where the world stops , know one knows and the Band Played On .......................
more then ever, so relevant to our times
One of the best bands ever !!! He's so beautiful talented !!!!! Love him !!!!!
This was written by the "The Temptations" released by them. originally, in 1971. This song could be released at any time ALWAYS
Sadly, you're absolutely right!
This was not written by "The Temptations". Norman Whitfield wrote it

@@Margaret2332 Told someone from that time that this was a Temptatioms re make and they refused to believe me! So did not even to bother to tell them the awesome of Ziggy Stardust!
Great song in today's uncertainty ( 2021 ) . I wish I could go back to the 80s the world was more simpler .
David J Killing that bass, awesome!
And the best goes on!
I saw them in Montreal in 1989 what a show!!!!❤
one of the greatest, hardly a parallel
Love the Temptations version, but this one of the few remakes I love.
I LOVE THE BAND
Great cover, arrangement and production on this one.
great song! one of my favorite bands!
This drum like a hammer!
Remember this on the radio as a young teen boy, grade 7, was epic
Ahhhhh, the days of good looking mullets
Miss you Danny
I'd love to see these guys live...one of my favourite bands of all time...!
One of my favorite bands of all time as well
Mine too!! ♥️⭐🌙🍄🌈
Scott Magee They give you your money's worth. Saw them 89 or 90 at the Beacon Theater.
I saw them in London in the summer of 88
Time flies like a wounded bat
and fruit flies like a banana
J'adore ... trop bon cette version
If they thought the world was a ball of confusion in the 80s... They would not have believed it if we could go back and tell them how bad it is now. Society is a mess.
That’s because we still had the Fairness Doctrine in affect during most of the 80’s. When it went away in 1987, all of this craziness started w regards to hyper politicized media. The Fairness Doctrine was holding sanity in place.
This is Smokeys favorite cover of this song according to his son.
The Temptations, this is a very creative cover
This song will always be relevant.
i hope everyone is loved
My favorite version of the song
Excellent version 👌 🎸
2021 and still this is so perfect 👌
Absolutely.
And still perfect in 2023 ✊🏿
This is one of the first songs I heard when I started listening to VH1 Classics back in the mid 2000s. I'm amazed I hadn't heard this back in the 80s when it came out.
The first time I heard this song was in 1988. A friend of mine turned me on to a station that played new wave. IT BLEW ME AWAY !!!
This song was originally performed by The Temptations
Excelente version!!! Amo❤
Love love love this song!
World has gone mad - thank fook for this track again 32yrs later - my boys from my hometown Northampton bless em x
DE LAS MEJORES BANDAS DE LOS 80 !!!!!
Amazing description of 2020
I really love this song never heard before. Now I become the fan of "love and rockets"
This sums up 2020.
Dig it. Happy I saw L&R, BAUHAUS, David J., & Peter Murphy a combined 25 times.
Of all the covers of this song, I think this one's the best...
Daniel is the goth crush...
I'm straight and I think he's very attractive.
He is sooo sexy
You are going to hate me!!. My mum was his neighbor in Ojai CA!!. & He's is as beautiful in REAL LIFE AS HE IS IN PICTURE'S!!!. 😏😉😘
The world is still a ball of confusion, it's like nothing changes.
still dope to the ears like veins
I was lucky enough to see this band play a small venue in DC back in the 80's. Sigh.
Oh my That base. Such a groove. Just like the original.
Bass* 🤭
Very appropriate to today's world almost prophetic. All done with an awesome style. Still good almost 40 years on. Good effort!
One of the most awesome songs and videos!
L&R came from Bauhaus, as this song came from Temptations original. Timeless music always rings true🤘🏽❤️🩹☮️
In 2020 this is timely now more than ever.
If only the masses actually listened and acted upon the state of affairs. How many generations will be able to cover this song before the freedom to do so has been lost?
@@squirrelguirrel7010 Such loss dose not have to be inevitable, yet we must be on guard against those who would impose their ethics against ours, for their own selfish reasons.
'85: found this at Dr Disc. 2020: dancing harder.
this song reach #26 on the old neilson sound scan the chart 1986 in canada 4 years before so alive was a hit in us
it's now 2021 ball of confusion that world is today and the band plays on!!!
I know the original was the temptations But I think the love and rockets Put extra punch to the meaning of this song It sends chills down my spine And how a lot of this Explains today the left right paradigm ball of confusion Order out of chaos total control.
Life is supposed to be chaos. Enjoy your short time here average age of an empire is 250 years America is 244.
I loved this song, I do
Carina Finoli my glory days neew 🌊 wave new row
This song is so relevant today
111 000 11111 000 11 000 This is a 1960's song, or early 70's, but it fit for this 1980's version, as well as for NOW, meaning, it never changes.
The Temptations brought me here.
I haven't seen Love & Rockets since 1984 when they played at the Longhorn Ballroom... where the Sex Pistols played in 1977 on their ill-fated North American tour. I will see Love & Rockets again on June 15th here in Dallas. 2023. Quite a bit older now but I have great hair and am still quite handsome.
Great! 🔥
Just timeless!
Sic. Best piece if vinyl I ever bought
A beautiful stripped down version of one of the best anti-war songs.
Great cover from a great band.
this aged very well
My fav band!
love this song
If they weren't who they are I probably would even like this more...but I keep going back to Bauhaus and consequently it stops being so great...having said that it is still brilliant!
Que más agregar??? TEMAZO
Great song.
Awesome. They boys bringing their brand of lean, cool, funk
Timeless.
Scarily so
Spring '87 in SF. I gotb home at 6 AM on a school night. David J is the best.
