Girl, I appreciate you now taking a risk to listen to the great music. Pet Shop Boys needs to be listened by this generation of kids that dont know s...t about music now. Love from Mexico.

This is one of my favorite songs of the '80s. The Pet Shop Boys are awesome anyway and then they ask the legendary Dusty Springfield to sing on this track. To me, she made the song with her trademark soulful pop sound. RIP to an amazing musician.

The Pet Shop Boys joke - how many Pet Shop Boys does it take to change a light bulb? Two - one to replace the bulb, and one to look bored.

One of my favorite Pet Shop Boys song, with the goddess Dusty Springfield. Ooh, fast fact for you, India. The guy who played the 10th Doctor in Doctor Who, David Tennant, was a huge PSB fan, and took his stage surname, Tennant, from the singer, Neil Tennant, as his actual real surname is McCullough.

Dayum.....great read!! RIP Dusty.......what a beautiful voice that was silenced...

Yeah this song was popular and got a TON of airplay.

This has always been my favorite Pet Shop Boys song because I really love the song... and Dusty!

The song was co-written with American singer-songwriter Allee Willis who also wrote the Friends theme tune "I'll Be There For You" for The Rembrandts. Allee wrote the "Since you went away" verse.

"Now I can do what I want... Forever"

Adore PSB and was so fun watching you vibe to them. My favorite of theirs is "Red Letter Day" because the lyrics just ... they are just so good. Rock on.

The singer is Dusty Springfield, a legend from the 60s in the United Kingdom, and a massive underground artist globally

Pet Shop Boys were great, a song you might have heard is "West End Girls". They has several hits in the 80's. I loved "It's a Sin" it was SO over the top dramatic! The woman featured in this song is the great Dusty Springfield. She had a lot of hits in the 60's. My favorite is "Son of a Preacher Man"

I'm a dedicated "PetHead" (what fans call themselves) since the 80s. I've seen them 6 times in concert.

Dusty Springfield!! OMG!! So wonderful that the PSB worked with her before she passed. She represented an incredible mid-60s sultriness - they don't make entertainers like her anymore - she was of a specific time and place - And so so good! You would never know from listening to her that she was a peroxide blonde from London! Please, please, please consider You Don't Have to Say You Love Me, Wishin' and Hopin', and Son of a Preacher Man. Keep doing what you're doing, girl!

You should react to Electronic - Getting Away With It. Good job selecting this song. This is a song that I feel that deserves airplay in retro stations. This has been in my 80s rotation for some time.

PSB's collaborations with Dusty were great, I thought. She had nothing left to prove and they were already riding high, so it was really about putting two gems together.

Thank you for recognizing this song from The Pet Shop Boys. A lot of people are asleep to this track here! Again thank you. R.I.P. to Dusty Springfield.

I was in the 6th grade when this came out. I remember listening to it on the radio many times and it's funny how the songs we grew up with are the soundtracks of our lives. We associate certain songs with experiences we were having at the time. So I was 12 years old and I had a crush on a girl who was in the 7th grade. At some point it was revealed to her that I liked her and basically I was laughed at. She laughed at me. I felt such a dreaded sense of rejection. This song reminds me of that. But it's still a great song and I could listen to it a thousand times. It just really conjures up memories of that transitional period when I was starting to go through puberty. I am so glad I grew up in the 80's.

India....I like Pet Shop Boys but Dusty Springfield is a LEGEND! I was thrilled to see and hear her again on this song.

For total FUN from the British tv series and movie by The Pet Shop Boys: Absolutely Fabulous and dance tune: Always on my Mind which gives you the FEELS.

My favorite Pet Shop Boys songs are Dreaming of the Queen, and Absolutely Fabulous! They are such a great band!!

Hi, India one of your best reactions in a long line of great reaction videos. It's nice to have a very positive person like yourself making content for everyone to enjoy while they are stuck at home. Keep up your great work!

Taking me back to when I lived in Germany, when new wave tech type synthesizer music was the thing. Always LOVED the harmony in this. Love this, had it on tape lol!

Pet Shop Boys are still a very active duo. They are extremely critically acclaimed and listed in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the most successful duo in British history. They have written for and/or recorded with Tina Turner, Liza Minnelli, Elton John, David Bowie, Kylie, Yoko Ono...etc. They have a song called The Night I Fell In Love about Eminem and a male groupie. CNN actually played it for Dr. Dre on air when it was released! Chris Lowe, the blonde one, is an Eminem fan even though the duo are gay and Eminem has been accused being homophobic. Their 2016 album “Super” was named one of the top ten albums of the year by Rolling Stone magazine. American radio began ignoring them in the early 90’s though they still get plenty of critical acclaim to this day. They have retained their popularity elsewhere. Lady Gaga performed with them when they received a lifetime achievement award in England. The Survivors is a beautiful song, which I think you would love. There is an incredible amount of depth in their work.

Thanks for reacting to this great song

Pet Shop Boys and Dusty Springfield are absolute legends Dusty`s real life story is kind of sad as she struggled with her sexuality and mental health for many years and incredibly even doubted her own talent which is why she disappeared from the music scene for long periods. Sadly she died far too young at just 59.
