Fantastic! I’m hearing this for the first time in 2023 (as a 48 year old). How have I not heard this before?! This track should be all over various media! Film, compilation albums, Best of’s, remixes etc
I was hanging out with friends in '79 and this was playing in the background. I loved the parts where the girl was singing and I never forgot it. I found the album at a used record store 5 years later and still love the song.
M never got the commercial recognition they deserved after the first album. It’s a shame, too, because there’s some clever songwriting and arrangement, and the sound quality is excellent.
Thanks for this. I am a memory man as far as music goes - also I time travel with it. This was playing in early 1980 when I was in Sydney as Adjutant of a premier Reserve Unit...it brings back only the best memories of life then.
I remember playing this song at a record shop (record shop) back in 1979, I was 19 yrs.young. Wow, playing on the intercom, jamming out, customers in awe ! Loved it back then, still loving it now. Awesome song & now hearing it on-line, it is like would of thought, this technology!!!! Never saw the music video till just recently. And I'm still gonna love it till I die. Genius!!! From san antonio, tx. Love u guys💖
While working at this record shop, playing this song & song by Giorgio Moorer called Baby Blue, met my first girlfriend mary helen. Boy did we have a blast! The rest is history. Hi Mary Helen. This is Terri from san antonio tx saying will love you forever!💖
I *love* CZcams. I was just singing this, in the right key if not a bit high. But now I can hear it sung on my computer. Never seen it performed before!
..bought this album in ´79 and this is by far the best track."M"were/was a bit unclassifiable,but definitely Iconic and intelligent pop.A bit like myself.....
M & the BUGGLES first albums were the beginning of New Wave. I think new wave ended with information society(most people would say IS is synthpop and not new wave but i'd say they were both).
When Pat Benetar was younger and had longer hair was definitely way more attractive. Cher in her younger days was very beautiful and sexy (Brigitte couldn't hold a candle next to her), and lets not forget the incredibly sexy, gorgeous and talented Susanna Hoffs. All of these women were definitely more beautiful.
Love at first listen after seeing this performance on the BBC Four reruns of 1979 Top of the Pops in 2014. I have no recollection of it from the time (and never knew M had this second UK chart hit).
I saw this performance on a TOTP episode repeated in the early nineties on UK Gold. Then I remembered seeing the video on a kids' TV programme in late 1979.
I knew this song existed because I worked at a radio station when the follow up to pop music came in. But now I get kind of a Boney M. vibe from it which is really cool. but to be fair, I’m not really surprised. this wasn’t hardly the big hit that pop music was.
Can anyone get their hands on the original video clip for this? I have a vague recollection of seeing it as a kid on the Aussie music program Countdown. Cool track :)
Janfrans, it funny that the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps came from George Harrison opening a book up and looking at the first word he saw (weeps).
Like the way how artists in the 70s/80s used to lipsynch deliberately badly, unlike todays lot who think that we are fooled by all that gurning and fake sweat.
Either this is being lip synced or they can do the song on stage note-perfect with the album version. The lady's fan does not interfere with the microphone and the guy dropping his mic at 0:15 didn't make a sound.
I also had to laugh at the sax solo. The guy's playing a tenor sax, but is clearly an alto sax on the song. (which looks more like a clarinet ala Kenny G.) So yes, Ashlee Simpson paid the price for these guys and others. LOL
@@elainewilkinson1937 They lip synced (mimed) to a re recording of their record normally, or occasionally sang live vocals over their backing track. This was to comply with musicians union rules. This ended around 1980. Then they mimed to their actual record. This sounds like it might have been redubbed with the single audio.

I'm 47 and it's the first time I've ever heard it. Slightly cheesy, but catchy, it's one of those songs that stick in your brain when you hear it
A long time forgotten gem until recently. Sounds as great in 2020 as it did in 1979
Still got this classic song on vinyl 65 now was 21 when I bought it how the years have flown in😁🏌🏌🎶🎶🍀
Agree

I know what you mean mate back when I was 12 years old in year 6 it was a great time 😀😀😀😀😀
Dangerously AND deliciously hovering between the sublime cool and the nauseating fake. In its genre a true gem.
Fantastic! Bought it back in 1979
Same here, still have that 7 inch single 👍
You were probably the only one!
@@ersway. You were probably the only one!
@@liamfoley9215 Haha, great comment... 🙄
The eccentric M performing with Level 42 members Wally Badarou on synth and Phil Gould on drums.
Only the best for M.What a great sound from the past.
Brilliant. You gotta love the way Robin drops the mic at the beginning! Also good early sightings of Wally Badarou and Phil Gould.
Wally badarou chief inspector fame another good tune boon Gould level 42 ?
A classic brings back so many good memories for me, Robin Scott Awesome!
love it
when music had depth feeling and mystery
Such a fine song with that
Ladies nice voice Moonlight
And Music So Good
Its from 79 Yes and
Still Good.M
that was so good Im going to listen to it again
Phil Gould and Wally Badarou of Level 42 on drums and keyboards, respectively. Handclaps by David Bowie!
Oh those 70s! Love it! Need to go back!
Pls take me 😢
I like this song and this record!
Got the album at the time and this is my fav M tract. The best think to come out of Croydon my home town, Brigit is lovely !!!!
Me encanta el dúo entre Robin Scott y Brigit Novik. Los amo. Gracias por su música, de corazón.
I absolutely love this song!!!
1979,!great year for music!
if you say so
79 was a great year for music
For me it is one of the best years in music production of the 70s
With the possible exception of Chas & Dave, Mike Oldfield and the Nolan sisters yes.
Totaly agree
Great song!
I like the visual effects that they used on Top Of The Pops in those days.
Should have gone much higher in the charts than it did. Top 5 at least, a pretty good No1 it would have been too
M never got the commercial recognition they deserved after the first album. It’s a shame, too, because there’s some clever songwriting and arrangement, and the sound quality is excellent.
I used to play this bassline on the bass to warm up my fingers before show. Love it!

This damn tune never will get out of my mind...😀
Really, I find it quite easy and thank God for that.
This is one of my old favorites. I haven't heard it in a long time and i just happened to think of it. Thanks for posting it.👍
I love the tenor saxophone playing like a soprano sax.
Didn't like many songs in the 70s but love this one
Simply magic!!!!!
Crikey! haven't seen this for years, Fantastic!!!
In Holland this was a hit in the spring of 1980, I was almost nine years old then... How time flies!
I *love* CZcams. I was just singing this, in the right key if not a bit high. But now I can hear it sung on my computer.
Never seen it performed before!

you are "iconic" then?
David Farmer never knew he made a album wonder what happened to the group.
classic !!!
Found this in my record collection only to find a big split through the middle of it. Aaaaarrrgh absolutely gutted.
Getting ready for new wave to come out love it
Still great!
It sounds magical ✨️ 😍
It's love boat vibes
I have this on 12". Tremendous through headphones, great production.
Pure pop masterpeice... Name checked in pop muzic by m
Brigit laughing as Robin drops the microphone!
Nothing like pop.muzik.love it.
Have this one on 7inch and 12 inch vinyl. Should have been a bigger hit.
i had the album after heard pop music in Germany about 1979
Very good
Top 40 in Australia but i have no memory of it.
Talk about Pop music.
Really love this song
i thought this was a good follow up single to pop muzik deserved to be much bigger.
completely agree, a much different style to pop muzik but almost as good
Splendid
Music from Space :))
classic no from mr scott going back to magic year of 1979
ありがとうございます🎉高校生になった時にラジオで聴きすぐにアルバムを買いましたよ〜そのアルバムは今でも部屋に飾ってます。今でもネットで聴いてます。
Ca me rappelle mon adolescence !
Very beautiful girl
What a good looking guy! Wow!😁
Official Secrets should've been released as a single
Fantastic
Lead singer reminds me of Georgie Fame great song sounds just as good today.
Good stuff. M is My musik allways!
Am absolutely stunning song. Like Tony Bennett guesting for Depeche Mode / later Roxy music or something.
Haunting
Cela me rappelle trop de souvenir.
Love this....Roxy Music meets Level 42; just noticed who the percussionist is
Top choon...takes you back to a better time
Better than pop muzik ..Brigit is doing it for me with the seductive voice & crazy hair.
Hurrah!
M & the BUGGLES first albums were the beginning of New Wave. I think new wave ended with
information society(most people would say IS is synthpop and not new wave but i'd say they were both).
RobotronZone I definitely put M & Buggles together too :) Both huge musical influences on New Wave, 1980’s & other genres
For me kraftwerk began new wave .
Information society and kon kan sounded like human league.love em.
Synth Pop. M and Tubeway Army were the first releases in this genre, mid '79
@@paulbradley7728 If not The Doors..
There has never been a more beautiful singer as Brigit!!
Very sexy lady XX

Dave Scott yeah, you should definitely tell someone their opinion or preference is wrong.
Lucky Robin dancing with her.
v-town1980 well said 👍🏼 and you should definitely tell him about it! I hope he’s learned his lesson 😂
@@sc3291 He did more than that...they were married!
Excellent song! I was in 9th grade when it was released. Yep, dinosaurs roamed the Earth back then.
To be treated with respect
Happy days 1979 UUC
In high school my friend and I stayed up late listening to this record and eating cold cuts.
Irresistible
Robin Scott had worked with the Beatles .
Love at first listen after seeing this performance on the BBC Four reruns of 1979 Top of the Pops in 2014. I have no recollection of it from the time (and never knew M had this second UK chart hit).
they also had "that's the way the money goes" in early 1980 from memory
I saw this performance on a TOTP episode repeated in the early nineties on UK Gold. Then I remembered seeing the video on a kids' TV programme in late 1979.
Magic Roundabout theme tune
I was 12 at the time,i quite liked it but it hasn't aged well
We havent caught up to m , buggles , kraftwerk. We never will.
I knew this song existed because I worked at a radio station when the follow up to pop music came in. But now I get kind of a Boney M. vibe from it which is really cool. but to be fair, I’m not really surprised. this wasn’t hardly the big hit that pop music was.
42 years on....
I think I'll go watch another video now...
Can anyone get their hands on the original video clip for this? I have a vague recollection of seeing it as a kid on the Aussie music program Countdown. Cool track :)

@@richrogers5864 YAY!!!! 😁
Bell'uomo .
epic suave
I think the lovely lady was and is still his wife if I'm not mistaken.
Strong streak of Bryan Ferry/Roxy.
Janfrans, it funny that the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps came from George Harrison opening a book up and looking at the first word he saw (weeps).
Robin sc...Hot!
Seems to be channeling a little bit of Bryan Ferry here...
At first I thought this sounded crap then I thought it was OK.
Robins Scott is handsome.
Like the way how artists in the 70s/80s used to lipsynch deliberately badly, unlike todays lot who think that we are fooled by all that gurning and fake sweat.
Indeed. Milli Vanilli would come onto the scene a few years later to prove that.
superb song.better than pop muzik.
Зашибись! Старая добрая группа "М", хотя концерт 1980 г. был прикольнее.
Haha Phil Gould (Level 42) on drums !!
I like it. Though his voice sounds a bit like Elmer Fudd on the verses.

almost all artists on Top of the Pops were lip-synched in the 70's. it was the done thing to keep the performance sounding like the record.
