What are you listening to right now (2025-10)

[boredjedi]

In fact, Yes made 18 different music video versions for Leave It.

Version #7

I guess you could say they couldn't leave it





You could start at 7:03 and 10:16

At 10:39 Martha Quinn now that's a blast from the past

[chuft]

Have I ever mentioned I don't like Yes.

[boredjedi]

I remember

[boredjedi]

Godley amd Creme (Formerly of 10cc) went on to direct music videos (as per the info in that above video).
Yes' Leave It being one of many.

Duran Duran Girls On Film being another.

[chuft]

I believe there is another, "adult" video for this song. Highly doubt it's on youtube. I wonder which one G&C directed

[boredjedi]

Seems there's just one music video just edited down: "'Girls on Film' was released on 12 July 1981. The original concept for the video, directed by Godley & Creme, was initially banned by the BBC and heavily edited for its debut on MTV due to its provocative and sexually suggestive content"


The two also directed this

They also directed all of Frankie Goes to Hollywood music videos
Music video for Duran Duran's View to a Kill
A bunch of Police music videos

Also this

They were quite the busy pair in the 80s

[chuft]

I don't think I ever heard any of their music. Didn't care for 10cc either.

[boredjedi]

10cc in 1975. A whole new generation got introduced to their music thanks to Guardian's of the Galaxy in 2015
with this song

1985 Godley & Creme song and music video. You should remember this one.

[chuft]

I have always hated "I'm not in love" and no I never heard the Cry one.

[boredjedi]

Cry is another video that made a mark from the morphing faces. One of the vids MTV overplayed back in the day.

[boredjedi]

After more than 40 years of influencing music and youth culture, MTV is set to say goodbye to five of its iconic music channels.
On 12 October 2025, Paramount Global announced that MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live will permanently stop broadcasting by 31 December 2025.

RIP MTV

[chuft]

I had no idea they even had 5 channels, or were still on the air. I gave up on them decades ago when they dropped videos to do gameshows and crap like that. Not that any modern music is worth hearing IMO. Now I wonder if the 80's one was any good.

Since everything is on youtube anyway, a video channel is kind of obsolete.

[boredjedi]

I didn't event think it was still around as well. Became a reality TV channel in the 90s and early 2000s.

Just had to do that didn't you. Why don't you burp and fart loudly as well.

Godley & Creme - An Englishman In New York

Sting - An Englishman In New York

When I was watching that video about the Yes Leave it music video,
the narrator brought up about a Godley & Creme song An Englishman In New York.
I didn't even know they had a song with that title.

The only one I was well familiar with was the Sting song with the same title.
Meant to address this the other day. Just out of a curiosity.
Lyrics are different so it's not a remake. Sting's song is far superior.

Strange edit of the song

[boredjedi]

Wish he'd start releasing everything in his archive. Hidden away for years.

[chuft]

Why do you think there's a hidden archive? In this case the song edit was a butchery

[boredjedi]

Heaven 17

I always remember how they got the name Heaven 17.
A fictional band name in the movie A Clockwork Orange. I always
liked the soundtrack from that movie.

1:53

[chuft]

I don't think I ever saw that entire movie. Just scraps of it

Which do you prefer, studio or live


Studio

Live

Must be strange to be a successful well-known artist from singing your own made-up language from when you were a kid
