One of my favorites. Billy Idol is a great performer. "White Wedding" launched his career. "Dancing with myself" is innuendo. Go choice. This is one of those artist with a whole lot of material to experience.

Jamel, You MUST do “Forgot to be a Lover”. It’s rockabilly infused with a cool piano jingle and a really fun beat. And the video - like all of his others - is fun as heck!

Billy said he was in a disco in Japan. Everyone was dancing alone and looking at themselves in mirrors on the walls. That's the inspiration for this song.

Yeah, I thought it was more Blade Runner inspired, but I can see that.

Now you need to check out "White Wedding", "Rebel Yell", "Eyes Without A Face" & "Cradel of Love" by Billy Idol. Also.... at least 80% of songs/videos from the 80s were about sex or something sex-related. And sometimes the videos have NOTHING to do with the song itself. So really nothing to go too deep in about. LOL!

Rebel Yell and White Wedding are great Billy songs. 💃

Billy Rocks!! I love his energy and his guitarist Steve Stevens is great! Thanks for the video!!✌❤🎶😁

The Last Generation-X song and 1st Billy Idol (solo) song. Its my fave by him.

Billy was one of the best to take advantage when Punk music collided with MTV.

Despite MANY fantastic songs, this has always been my favorite Billy Idol tune! It was the B side for a 45, and I don't even remember what the A side was, haha!

When Billy Idol hit the scene, his debut album had three or four hits that made the charts. Check out White Wedding, Hot in the City, and Rebel Yell.

Anyone think of the movie Can't Buy Me Love every single time they hear this song?? 💖

Nice! Love Billy Idol, you should check out Rebel Yell next

There was only one way Billy's career was going to go once he moved to the USA and met Steve Stevens......and that was straight to the top!

Love Billy Idol. He's famous for doing Elvis's lip curl all the time as well. Check out White Wedding Part 1, Hot in the City, Mony Mony, Cradle of Love, Flesh For Fantasy, Rebel Yell, To Be A Lover, Sweet Sixteen.

Cradle of love brother, you're gonna freak!

Billy always had energy and brought fun and joy to the music!

Cradle of love is a great song of his. Definitely recommend checking it out

There is no one like Billy Idol, he's an icon and has a deep, deep library of great songs

Yeah, that's also what I heard the song is about. I think it's a double entendre and it can mean either one - but I get a hilarious visual out of it meaning both at the same time 🤣

11 of the best, every track is a hit. It is kind of best of Billy Idol.

Billy Idol is an amazing rock artist, totally set aside from all the rest!!! I can't think of another artist, that compares w/him. If u like rock music, then dive into his music, for he WILL NOT disappoint you!

Definitely one of the best pop recordings out of the 80s. The phrasing, and his vocal tone were 100% dead on perfect. No question.

I prefer Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” and “Flesh For Fantasy” over “Dancing With Myself.” Definitely worth a listen. I heard a story on a local radio station how a long-time Billy Idol fan wrote Billy a letter asking if Billy and band would show up and perform at his birthday party. Lo and behold that’s exactly what Billy did. I really have a lot of respect for entertainers who go to such lengths to show their appreciation for their fans.

Billy has his roots in the London 70's punk scene! He went mainstream without losing that punkish style and vibe! "Dancing with myself ...I read was about "taking care of your own business" if u know what I mean!😉 Great song!✌💗🎸🎶

Who remembers Spike from buffy the vampire slayer? Bloke looked EXACTLY like billy idol lol

Jamal, gotta react to “ Rebel Yell”. It’s Billy at his best! Have a good day!

This remains my favorite Billy Idol song, hands down. It never fails to make me dance. Doesn't matter where, doesn't matter when. I may try to be sneaky and cool, but by "sweat" it's full on booty shakin'.

Jamel, well spotted, Billy is big Elvis fan, hence the lip and the hip etc, in his earlier band 'Generation X' Billy did the song 'King Rocker' as a tribute to Elvis Presley.

I was a HUGE Billy Idol fan when this all came out. I had this single on cassette and the flip side was an interview with Martha Quinn who was one of the original VJs on MTV. Billy was a big Elvis fan for sure and said so in the interview. The song is actually about "self-pleasure" if you get my drift.

Dec1986, came home on leave from the Army from Germany. I had the cassette Vital Idol and my 6x9 Kraco's in a borrowed Delta 88 was at max volume for this. This 1 song is the 1 that makes me flash back to that time. Awwww. Loved it.

This was the song in the 80s everybody love Billy Idol. I still listen to him.

Absolute MONSTER hit from my clubbin' days! :) People went nuts (in a fun way) and no, you didn't even have to have a partner to get up on the dance floor!

"On the floors of Tokyo Or down in London town to go, go" He's just referencing places around the world.

Dude was great in The Wedding Singer haha

Before his solo success, he was in a band called Generation X. This was before the term had been widely applied in pop culture.

Really Rebel Yell is a perfect album !

Yes! Billy Idol! One of my favorite song from when I was a teenage years. I was lucky to see him in concert in 2019, stll rocking and still hot as hell

Ah yes! I remember rocking out to this by myself during sunset on the shores of the Persian Gulf in Kuwait City. Was interrupted by a couple of police officers who were wondering what the hell I was doing. Good times!

Billy Idol and the 80's Great times. He has some great tunes and videos.

I love watching you and your reactions - we need more people like you in this world!

Billy has SO many great songs! His first two solo albums are almost completely hits with every song. Then he gets into a motorcycle accident, destroys his leg. Didn't stop him at all. LA Woman and so many more followed. Good luck covering his stuff! When you get to Mony, Mony...do the live version, not the studio version

Great song to run to or just jump around the room to! Such a fun tempo! Punk rock that went mainstream. 🎶

I have a book on Billy . This song came to him when at a club and everyone was dancing with themselves in their own little space .

LOL that brother was cool as hell back in the day. His guitarist is one of the best around, very underrated

"Stanky leg" 🤣 Thanks for that. Gotta love Billy Idol...and Jamel's reactions! ✌

Got this in my recommendations. Great reaction dude. The intro to this song make some feel something else the song is a timeless classic.

Peace and love Jamel!

My kids used to dance to this all the time because it was in the movie Flushed Away. Great song and cute movie.

Everyone forgot about Hot in the City...a hit most people don't even know is Billy Idol. This song Dancing with myself is a song from his former band Generation X

Last time I saw Billy and Stevie 2015 they were still hot on point.Great show .

Billy Idol is great in concert!

When Jamel says "we all do it, dance with ourselves" I'm like uh that's a good way to get demonetized. Being this is Billy's ode to flicking the bean.

I'm loving all your Billy Idol reactions! Of the few bands I allowed to be a poster on the wall of my high school bedroom, Billy in his black leather pants (and Van Halen) were it!

I recommend that you listen to these Billy Idol songs: 1) Rebel Yell 2) White Wedding 3) Eyes Without A Face 4) Flesh For Fantasy 5) Mony Mony 6) Cradle of Love

Billy Idol’s guitarist and songwriting collaborator Steve Stevens was a big deal in the rock music world. He won a Grammy (Top Gun); worked with Michael Jackson, Vince Neil, Robert Palmer, Terry Bozzio, Tony Levin, and others. My all-time favorite Steve Stevens track is the song "Pistolero" by Juno Reactor (Bombay Dub Orchestra Remix).

Wow you really hit the 80s hard today.

you gave me the first laugh of the day, thank you brother jamel !

"Flesh For Fantasy" & "Blue Highway' need a reaction.

I have always related this conceptually to The Safety Dance

Billy Idol introduced a whole new audience to punk rock. I always felt like this video was a kinda mad max type thing. I remember seeing this on friday night videos, before I knew anything about MTV.

This song was his first big Pop hit. Billy said this was his attempt to make a combination of Disco and Punk. He was innovative. Later on there were some Hardcore bands that mixed Funk in their sound. Then decades later there was also some Dance Punk but it never really took off as a genre. Im not a big fan of dance music but what I like is the energetic sound it adds to rock music.

One of my favorite songs of all time.

You had to be in one of the big “new wave” dance clubs in NY back in the early 80’s. This song would come on...the place would erupt and everyone went nuts. It was a fun time to be young..

Master Beep Beep so funny!!! When I was a kid and to some degree still this song embodies my energy level. I loved that song just for the energy.

Damn son.....you are on a ROLL today!!! Thank you!!! 💜🎵🎼🎶🤟
