Everytime I listen to Kajagoogoo I want to dance! Love their music! If you like 80's synth-pop like me, you don't care if it seems hokey and outdated by todays standards. Current trends in fashion and music that I laugh about now, everyone will be laughing at 25yrs. from now when they look back, just like people do about Kajagoogoo now. Mark my words.
Will always remember the opening to Sixteen Candles, (1984)
I LOVE the way Nick Beggs is always so 'panto'when he's on stage - who knew eyebrows and hair clackers could be so expressive!!! Love it!
For me, Nick beggs is the greatest bass player in the world! His bass lines are a killer!
Superb bit of music. It's easy to forget how good this band were because of Too Shy but they had much more in their armoury than that. And Nick Beggs is one of 2 other British bass players I can think of who were at the top of their game. And he was only around 21 in this clip. Just born to do it I guess.
Really good my dad likes it! He is 38 and I am ellie. I am 8. My dad nearly puts it on every day! My dad was born in 1976! I was born in 2005.
Im surprised that no one here has brought up the fact that this, without the lyrics, is the intro to Sixteen Candles. I was fortunate to have seen it in the big screen when it came out in 1984...
LOVE THE BASS.... And who ever said that Kajagoogoo sucked should have been slapped in the face. They have LIMAHL!!!!!!!!!!
Love all of kajagoogoo's material...the early 80's were simpler times weren't they? so glad to find these video clips! I don't know how i'd survive living in tornado alley, texas without their music!
I didn't realize just how good of a bass player Nick Beggs was until I saw the beginning of this.
The 80's. Great Band. Great Music. Great Performance. Great Decade. What More Could One Ask For. Absolutely Fantastic. Thank You.
Simply brilliant. Totally dismissed as throwaway pop at the time. How wrong can you be. This still sounds relevant. Nick Beggs out of this world.
I would play this song walking to school and pretended I was in sixteen candles 🤪
@sprintbass - he is playing a Wal bass, made in the UK, with special pickups and active preamp eq, so it can get really bright and snappy funky sounds.
i like so much this tune, the perfomance! I love all of them! 🙂
Such good musicians I still love their music !
TOP BASS !
Grande Kajagoogoo…….👏👏👏👏👏
