Where Were You The First Time You Heard This?

I remember that. Most of the dance-type clubs played it regularly circa . . . 1979? I always liked it but remember the version played being much harder than the one in the clip; perhaps it was a special dance mix.

Thanks for the memory (although I must admit some reluctance in considering 1979 waaaaaay back!).
 
Gosh it seems like another lifetime.. I remember sitting around with some friends one very late Friday night, watching "Goodnight L.A." (a local music video show on KABC-TV in Los Angeles), and out of the blue this comes on...

According to newspapers the next day, KABC got thousands of phone calls from outraged viewers. The video (especially the last few minutes) was intense stuff for broadcast TV in 1984, and it got "Goodnight L.A." pulled permanently off the air.

 
Never 'til this moment, actually.

I was one of the 'disco sucks!' crowd, too busy listening to The Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Clash, The Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex, Black Flag, The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Minutemen, The Dead Kennedys, Wire, The Boomtown Rats, The Saints, Deaf School, Captain Beefheart, Generation X, Mars, The Skids, Stiff Little Fingers, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Undertones, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Bauhaus, X, The Jam, Roxy Music, Gang Of Four, The Vibrators, Simple Minds, The Cramps, The New York Dolls, Iggy Pop, The Adverts, T.Rex, The Cure, Devo, Squeeze, The Specials, Magazine, The Dead Boys, The Pretenders, Public Image Ltd., XTC, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, Wayne/Jayne County, The Suicide Commandos, Pere Ubu, The Replacements, The Stranglers, Joy Division, Slade, The Germs, Suicide, Mission of Burma, The B-52s, The Fall, Gary Numan, The Psychedelic Furs, The Go-Betweens, Rich Kids, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Television, Husker Du and Wire to notice, I guess.
 
Hey Frig

I was not part of the disco sucks crowd but also listened to the music you mentioned. Another one of the groups of that time was the Specials. Do you remember this one?

 
Laundress

Great song! Like others, I have it saved as a favorite on YouTube and listen to it often. Here's another one from that time period.
