Ah yes, a classic 80's track which is still being requested 21 years later. Love playing it to the right crowd.

Anyone else still out there still giving it a spin?

not still playing it but wasnt it from crocodile dundee ? reminds me of another aussie called yahoo serious who had a brilliant version of roll over beethoven on the young einstein soundtrack.

I'll play it as background music, but I have never had it work as a main 80s party track...

And its never been requested at any of my functions...... Weird

Fantastic track.................Luv it !!!!

Yes it was from Crocodile Dundee

I have never played it......but its a great tune...

Might see if I can sneak it into the 40th Birthday Party Crowd I have on Saturday.......could be a winner!!!

Never had it requested.

Not a bad track

May try it tonight at venue gig see how it goes down

yes it's weird Tony, floor filler but need the right crowd

Grrrrr - For the life of me i cant remember the tune !

This may help.


How can you see looking through those tears
Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold
I can't believe that you're alone in here
Let me warm your hands against the cold

A close encounter with a hardhearted man
Who never gave half of what he got
Has made you wish that you'd never been born
That's a shame cause you got the lot

Hey yeah you with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
you beside the dance floor
What do You cry for let's live it up

If you smiled the walls would fall down
On all the people in this pickup joint
But if you laughed you'd level this town
Hey lonely girl that's just the point

Hey yeah you with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
Hey yeah you beside the dance floor
What do You cry for let's live it up

Just answer me the question why
You stand alone by the phone
in the corner and cry

How can you see looking through those tears
Don't you know you're worth your weight in gold
I can't believe you're alone in here
Let me warm your hands against the cold
If you smiled the walls would fall down
On all the people in this pickup joint
But if you laughed you'd level this town
Hey lonely girl that's just the point

Hey yeah you with the sad face
Come up to my place and live it up
Hey yeah you beside the dance floor
Whattya cry for let's live it up

Let's live it up,
Live it up
Live it up
Hey yeah you
With the sad face
Come up to my place
Come up to my place baby

Yea Jim....and that may not help him either....

Its a bit like when a punter comes up and says...
"dunno what its called and I dunno who its by, but have you got the one that goes......" they then speak or sing out of tune/time a really bad version of the track they want playing.....
How many times do yah have to send them away saying "umm sorry, but I have no idea what your talking about" LOL

Live it up is a stomper of a tune in my oppinion though!!!!

Well I'll have to put the video up ...........


Jim

Cheers jim - Got it now

TUNE !

I just listened to that in full......love it!

Its so gonna get played at my Pub res tonight as a karaoke filler track !!!

Have not been asked for it at a function. Played it as a background track a couple of times.
Like it.

I do get a real buzz from playing these great tracks from 20 years ago. Nice just to play something a bit different.

It's in my background music folder so when I use PCDJ it gets a play at almost every function I do. Got to admit I love the song that's why it's in there, never had it requested but I've been asked countless times who it's by when it's played out.

Yip, I play it. I also play their other big hits, "If You Leave Me Can I Come Too" and "Rock & Roll Music" (from the Yahoo Serious movie "Young Einstein" mentioned earlier) from time to time.


If You Leave Me Can I Come Too




Rock & Roll Music - the linedance!




Young Einstein movie trailer

I've played it a few times especially on 80's night's, with the Oz link I've usually followed with Down Under - Men At Work, another great track.
