You’ve got to see the official video…wow!

This song is somewhat haunting and almost dreamlike in some ways. It gets you caught up in the all the things you can feel about love.

This was the coolest song of 1989. It had it all.. it was bluesy and sexy wrapped up with his unique voice. Great reaction!

The video didn't hurt it's popularity in the slightest. ;-)

So glad you're back Bright Angel - This song is beautiful, and Chris has a modern Roy Orbison longing and loneliness in his voice.

Your right sounds like Roy. Saw Roy over 45 years ago. He came out, didnt talk to the audience, just stood there and introduced his song and sang. And we clapped till our hands were red. So glad to have seen him.

The first time I heard it.. I was certain Roy Orbison had a new song I never heard before.. lol. Amazing

Yes, the comparison with Roy Orbison is often cited in talk about Chris Isaak, and I'm pretty sure he cultivated that after being inspired by Orbison. But Chris Isaak has a great voice on his own, and he's very capable of hitting those high falsetto notes that are filled with longing. One thing I'm trying to figure out is a line that repeats in the song's chorus. Lyrics online always seem to show it as "I don't wanna fall in love". But I don't think that's what he's singing every time. After the first verse, he seems to be singing the words "I don't wanna fall in love" with the word "don't" sung very quickly and softly compared to the other words. Then after the next verses, he seems to be singing "I wanna fall in love," having changed his statement from denying the desire to embracing the desire to fall in love, only to have his heart broken. I don't trust the lyrics printed online. What do others think, if you listen carefully to those lines?

The video for this is a famous one...good looking people. Also Chris is still performing, there are some great live videos of him doing this song recently.

The official video is a classic.

The music video captured the feeling too

Chris has said in interviews that this song was inspired by an actual person and an actual event. Chris had a girl friend, maybe it was more of a girl that was a friend, and he said it was a toxic relationship. He knew that they were not good for each other but the sex was great! One night, early morning, she called him up sometime after midnight and asked him if she could come up to his apartment. He said ok. Between the time that he hung uptake phone from her and the time that she knocked on his door, Chris wrote this entire song! Chris has never disclosed who the girl is.

I relate to this story more than the original video. It makes the song more meaningful. I would love to see a video of this story redone with the song.

Did you hear the background chorus ... "This world is gonna' break your heart." Haunting!

It's a mistake reviewing this song without the original video, because it's a piece of art and fits the song like a glove. Just saying.

Loved the intro - ...& when he started singing I felt 'Elvis vibes'! 🙂

Actually, vocally, his hero is Roy Orbison.

Great reaction to a great song. The song came out in 1989. It’s nice to see your smiling face 😊

Very softly the background singers are singing: "The girl is only gonna break your heart." Lust can sometimes be mistaken for love, but only for a short time, hence the end: "Nobody loves no one."

@@JasonBorn89 Well, HUH! You are correct! All these years I thought the line was about this loser girl that was using Chris, (which IS true) and she was only gonna break his heart. Seemed like a natural fit to me, and the voices are so faint in the background it is very difficult to hear. Looks like I tried to alter his lyric. GOOD CATCH there my friend!

"No, I don't wanna fall in love with you..." Heart rending...

This was a great performance. Chris has a beautiful, unique voice. Glad you liked this!! 😊

You really need the video with it to get the full effect of the song! But still a classic. Corey Taylor does a great cover of this song!!!

Yes, the Original black and white Video is Iconic and impressive .. Sometime, when you have a chance, please watch or react to it too, please 🥺 🥲 Thank you ☺

The singers actually felt the music in my day, loved Chris.. he looked so cool

Awesome to see you back Sushi!!!!!

This world is only gonna to break your heart. Very subtle in the background. Powerful song about unrequited love, or someone who leads another along.

Uncle Bob from _That Thing You Do!_ And yes, the video puts this on another level. Gives the love story an emotional context.

Such a haunting voice in this song

The music back then expressed love more easily in song. Today it seems like love like song expressed is challenged by a world of malice, confusion, conflict and strife. Our contemporary songs reflect what we're feeling.

I almost didn't recognize you! It's been a while! Glad to see you back! This song is from like, the late 80s or early 90s. There's a video with Chris and supermodel Helena Christensen on a beach. I think some people might not notice it, but the video really drives the home the point if you watch her. He's kissing her and she's, like, looking off un the distance, biting her nails, etc. He loves her, but she isn't that into him. HaHaHa (Her character, that is. I don't pretend to know what Helena actually thought of Chris. HaHaHa)

Trivia for the day: Did you know she has a son (from a 5 year relationship) with Norman Reedus from "The Walking Dead"? I learned that like a year ago and it still blows my mind.

You have to watch the actual music video that goes along with it.

Due to the sexuality of the original music video it caused a fair amount of controversy. Course today it's no big deal.

Chris has a nice catalogue of songs and he is great live. Great post and reaction , so nice to see you back. Stay safe and much love to you and yours.

I think everyone of a certain age knows this song, or at least the video. The video had Chris rolling around in the surf with supermodel Helena Christensen. Needless to say, it was hot and sparked the imagination of many a young lad. 😉 Now you just need to hear Diana Ankudinova sing this song. If you don't know who she is, you are in for a treat.

What a powerful song. Great reaction, young lady.

Thank you for reacting to the song. It allows me to leave a message for someone very special. It didn't last very long at all. But the happiest I have ever felt. Was when a woman would put this on when she put her son to bed. Whenever I hear this song. It takes me back to those evenings. Still love you, Julie.

This was a popular song, back in the day. And a more popular video.

Timeless song for sure

Chris Isaak has a haunting voice that underscores the heartfelt meaning in his songs. They are romantic, passionate, and guilty of a breathtaking feeling that leaves its mark, while you are falling into and sometimes losing love. More examples include WRONG TO LOVE YOU, DON'T MAKE ME DREAM ABOUT YOU, and BABY DID A BAD THING. It's been a while. Enjoy

Maybe the sexiest song ever. Seen him over 20 times, and his voice is even better live. Also has an extremely talented band.

Soulshine by The Allman Brothers. I LOVE YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hi, I'm French, this song by Chris Isaak is beautiful, an incredible voice, it gives me goosebumps. Just terrific.

Lovely to have you back, 💕 from your New Zealand pals

Nice having you back. I love watching the emotions on your face as you listen. Thanks for the great reactions.

Glad you're back !!! Love you and your reactions ♥️

Didn’t know you were back! So good to see you again.

Great song. Thanks for reacting Sushi!!!

Really need the video for this one though

Just discovered you're back!! I love watching your reactions to the music I grew up with, particularly from the '70's, and when you comment on how great music was. You're right, it was! And it's wonderfully nostalgic to see you have the same reactions we all had once upon a time. Keep 'em coming!!

Hey...welcome back its great to see you back here......

Beautiful song! And I always love your reactions, what a Sweetheart you are 💖💖💖

I enjoy your reaction, incredible song 😊.

Your facial expressions are excellent. He really does have a wonderful voice. Thanks for your reaction.

Gorgeous song and it always takes me back… it came out in 1989

Baby did a bad thang! great song And i’m glad you’re back ❤

This has always been one of my favorite songs

Glad your back

Welcome back Sushi, it's been a long time. I still remember your reaction to the Righteous Brothers--Unchained Melody and that was my favorite reaction. Chris is so talented, he's from Stockton, California. This was his most iconic song, please check out some covers of it including Violet Orlandi--she's amazing. Thanks! Diana Ankudinova gave an excellent rendition of it.

My fav Chris song Miss you Sushi~! World was on Fire now just smoldering... Welcome back... Now Iiiiiiiii want to fall In Love with You! Wicked Game you play...

This was on his third album released in 1989

Glad you’re back. Welcome back again.

Good to see you back - great song and reaction.

Nice to see you’re back sushi!

U are back! and i was thinking...ok,lest go!

You did this 1 before. We will just call this a "remastered reaction" 😂 the first time you did it to the official video to the song.

His concerts capture you from start to finish. He sounds as good or better, his band are top-notch musicians and he's quite the entertainer. If you ever have an opportunity to see him don't miss out.

half my lifetime ago is when this came out, and I'm not 4 😅. . . so bit longer than two years ago as others have said....sounds as fresh as it ever did though. . . cheers for the company

There's a really good cover of this song by the band Ursine Vulpine. The first time I heard any of this cover was on a Volvo commercial I believe. It paints a nice ethereal mood. ✌️

Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back, good have you back and you are more beautiful than ever Sushi 🍣.

Want to die to this song. When I’m passing I want it in my ears. It’s the dreamland.

I didn't recognize you till u spoke so glad it's you. Hey, you have more Righteous Brothers songs to react to.😁

He did a wonderful sitcom on Showtime in ?? 2001 ?? for a couple of seasons. He was "Chris Isaak" an ordinery club-gig musician and his band, with a talent agent and all kinds of fun. The talent agent's antics were often like Lucille Ball in I LOVE LUCY, and Chris's bandmates often got entangled for each episode. Chris would 'escape' reality into a room away from everyone else, and he'd listen to this free-floating phantom mermaid. I'll never understand why this show never made it to home-video, but that failure is why I clear my nostrils in Showtime's general direction.

Great song, glad you chose to react to it.

I suppose everyone else already said it but, it is defiantly a wicked thing to do to play this song while looking at you... missed your face.

This song was released from his 3rd album. It stagnated in the 1989 Billboard charts. But it was re released into the soundtrack to the movie Wild at Heart. Chris Isaak was born and raised in Stockton. But he moved to my hometown San Francisco 🌉. He was working on music 🎶 and went surfing 🏄‍♂ in his spare time. I am not sure if I ever met him. 🤔 He often played in the BAMMIES (Bay Area Music Awards) in the 1980s before this song blew up! 😃 He lists the late Roy Orbison, RIP, as an influence. 😎 And RIP James Wilsey, lead guitar in the studio recording and on touring guitar here. Written by Chris Isaak. This song is so seductive! 🤯 when he sang this in Australia 🇦🇺 he caused TV 📺 journalist Melissa Doyle to faint! L 🤣 L Music video 📹 Great. But model Helena Christensen was being a beach ⛱Ughh 😖. Fast forward to now. HC looks tired 😫 and old 👵. Chris Isaak looks in shape 💪 Surfing 🏄‍♂ does him great 👍 Suggested song 🎵 Chris Isaak sings San Francisco Days.

Chris Isaak had another great hit in - Can't Do A Thing To Stop Me.

This my jam!! 🙌🏽

Good to have you back. Love to see you react to "Fast Car" . First the original by Tracy Chapman. Then the non- controversial new cover by Luke Combs.😂😊 They're both great.

Awesome Reaction sweety💓

Your awesome!

Hope all is well sushi ❤

His voice wraps itself around you.

@TOOSUSHI, Glad to see you’re back I enjoy your reactions and openness to explore new music of all genres…Chris Isaak with his movie star looks and phenomenal voice was compared to Elvis & Roy Orbison for his entire career… He’s old school with his Nudi Suits (highly embroidered suit worn by country, and pop/rock musicians)… Wicked Game was recorded in 1989 and released as a single, on the Heart Shaped World album… It was initially banned on the BBC for “suggestive lyrics”… TS, You really must watch the official video for this song, it won MTV video of the year, and is still considered one of the sexiest music videos of All Time…It really puts an explanation point on the lyrics…. Another great CI song to experience is the( live at the Filmore version) of Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing…an entirely different vibe another great song…Good Luck Jjh

It's definitely a good song

Y'all should hear him live! He's singing about her playing him! Listen to the background vocals "love is only gonna break your heart"

Listen, you nailed that initial vibe. That... i don't know, but holy shit vibe. This dude wrecks girls, in the nicest way. He just does.

yes yet to the heart stuff

welcome back sista

There are a few remixes of this song that are quite good. My favourite ones are an electronic dance mix by Adriatique & Thyladomid and the Trentmoller remix which is done in a Jamaican Dub style.

I don't know what's going on with KZread, but up till about a year ago everybody was using the videos on pretty much all the music. The official video is provocative and you would enjoy it better probably have to watch it on your own.

Great song. Love your reactions! FYI, I'm a man, and I think the way you do your eye makeup is perfect.

Easily one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time.
