You were awesome! I just found the extended "Wargames" score on ITunes. One of the greatest scores of the 1980's! I'm sorry for some of the disgusting negative comments. I assure you, most of us don't feel that way.

great song, I've sung it in my head and aloud for years. Back years ago when WarGames came out.. I remember watching it diligently on HBO and yes specifically this song. It's one of those triggers that takes you back. I had no idea that it existed in its entirety lol. It was an impromptu thought to find it! ❤

When I hear this it takes me back to the good ole 80s, damn I miss those times. This song has a subconscious meaning of sorts to me as an adult (living in the shade of an video arcade) means way more now that i’ve studied quantum physics and have researched the simulation theory

Watching it now on Putlicker

I'm so glad you like this. We loved making it. I was always disappointed that we didn't enter "Edge of the World" for Academy consideration. My person favorite, though, is "History Lesson", which I really enjoyed writing and singing as a bit of evolutionary fun. Brain and Anthony suggested I sing "Video Fever" through the computer, which turned out pretty well.

WarGames is a damn masterpiece. Four star flick.

Coooool. Watching WarGames now at 4am. "Shall We Play A Game........?"

Cynthia, this track has followed me since it stood out and struck me as a child endlessly watching WarGames. Got a real haunting quality to it but portrays the video arcade atmosphere so well. Brilliant.

I know that movie from way back, but Ready Player One brought me here as well.

The Beepers was made up of Arthur B. Rubinstein (composer), Cynthia Morrow (Lyricist, singer, keyboards, viola) Brian Banks and Anthony Marinelli (Synclavier 2, keyboards). We first did Blue Thunder, then War Games together. I (Cynthia) wrote the lyrics and sang Video Fever through the Synclavier 2 Synthesizer to get that sound. Brian and Anthony played it.

That is so awesome Cynthia. This song always captures my imagination! Still remember seeing it in the theatre when warhames came out and m Broderick running to school with this song playing

Thank you Gobo. For 32 years I assumed this was a Missing Persons song

Listening to this while playing Galaga!

Awesome to finally hear this in its entirety!

Every time he I see this and they cut to the arcade scene with this song it totally takes me back to my youth in the 80s!

Thank you so much. Hope you enjoy the books. I don;t know where you live, but I'm doing a book reading of 2 of my newest books this Sunday, Oct. !3th, at McDonald's Book Exchange in Redmond, WA, 4pm. I'd love to meet you!

Hey! Thanks for the great song! It's a great pleasure to see here such good vocalist. I think some people don't like it, because you just need to get used to such music, like to opera or black metal. But I'm writing to ask you about The Beepers Wikipedia article. It's rather bad. Could you just review it or even add basic info? Many people want to know more and there's not much info :( Or, if you could write basic stuff (discography if any, years active, member changes if any, other bands that musicans played into), I would add it by myself.

Still a classic. 32 years later. Cool.

38 yrs going on 39 yrs in 2022 ,Love this tune as in the 1983 Cold war comedy thriller Wargames starring Matthew Broderick and Alexander Sheedy, Barry Corbin and Dabney Coleman 🎼🎵🎶❤️🎥🤣The video games arcade scene comes to mind 🤣 With The Beepers playing Video fever ❤️

Really wished they used this during the arcade scene in 'Stranger Things 2'.

Vividly remember this scene at the beginning of War Games . . . one of my favorite movies . . . cool little tune! So very very very 80s!! This is The Beeps . . . if I'm not mistaken . . .

Cynthia, "History Lesson" is my all time favorite too! Glad its yours too! Great song! ;) - Tony K.

Fantastic tinkly-bonk synthpop!

Arthur B. Rubinstein has the original tracks and actually did a remix for the newest DVD and CD which was released for the 25th anniversary of the film.

Video Fever-love this song, love the movie War Games.

One of my favorite movies! I got nostalgic for this song today because it encapsulates the 80s sound so perfectly. Glad I was able to find it!

i looked for this for a really really long time like 3 years ago. now i watched the movie again, and was like "hey, why not look again, it might be there (the internet)" and to my surprise, it is!

Gotta love a Synclavier and a great voice.

This song gets stuck in the head very easily.

Video Fever - The Beepers Was it just the other day? You were an achiever, such a busy beaver Now we hear you've gone astray And you're living in the shade of a video arcade And it's just a little to the left And it's just a little to the right And it's just unreal how alive you feel Vaporizing everything in sight And it's just a little to the left And it's just a little to the right Just a few beeps more 'til you beat your score And you're gonna if it takes all night And you never get lonely anymore Never feel blue, numb now, Video Fever's gone and put the bite... on you We don't see you on the street People ask about you - life is great without you Do you ever stop to eat? Do you comb your hair? Do you really care? And it's just a little to the left And it's just a little to the right And it's just unreal how alive you feel Vaporizing everything in sight And it's just a little to the left And it's just a little to the right Just a few beeps more 'til you beat your score And you're gonna if it takes all night And you never get worried anymore Never feel blue,but now--- (numb now)--- Video Fever's gone and put the bite... on you

great movie atmosphere in the song I'll always remember it

I wish the movie for RPO had been better.

Wargames and Blue Thunder were both highly successful Blockbuster films in 1983, both directed by John Badham, both with fantastic soundtracks! You should be very proud of your contributions to both films. Cythinia, Your voice is wondeful. I had Video Fever playing in my head a lot as a teenager..lol.. PS: I have always wondered, Where did the name "The Beepers" originate and come from?? - Tony K.

Great to hear this song again, you did a great job on it. I saw this movie back in 1983 when it came out. I ordered your books too.

VINTAGE !!!

Awesome lyrics... I always ran around singing this song as a kid after my mom took me to see WarGames.

I'm watching war games right now.

What an amazing and foreign concept, making up brand new pop music for your movie instead of just playing Eye of the Tiger all the time.

I loved this film thanks to the soundtrack too! And before knowing The Beepers, I had already listened Marinell's covers of Herb Alpert's CD "Whipped Cream and Other Delight": wonderful!

"Ready Player One" brought me here. :)

Starting World War 3 with an Imsai Computer lol!

If you like such direction in music, you might want to check The Epoxies. Of course it's not the same, but it's worth trying. Or Roxy Epoxy and The Rebounds (solo project of voc) if you want good lyrics. BTW I like lyrics of that song - very balanced as for my taste. You know what's about, yet there's some openness, could make you think, could be a good discussion starter.
