"Too Shy" was our Jam back in the Summer of 1983 ! You couldn't escape this Song on the Radio or MTV ! It was #1 in five Countries including Japan and was #5 in the US. It was also a Top 10 Hit in about a dozen other countries. KajaGooGoo is a very under rated band.

Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" peaked @ #5 on Billboard's Top 100 in 1983; later the lead singer Limahl scored a #17 solo hit in 1985 with the theme to "Never Ending Story" (music by Giorgio Moroder).

Kajagoogoo was discovered by Nick Rhodes keyboardist of Duran Duran he produced their first album this song is from that album.

For anyone who watches American Horror Story, you might remember the season called 1984 where they were going to hold a music festival and the band Kajagoogoo were all murdered because Richard Ramirez the night stalker killed them for the devil, and they had sold their souls to the devil. lol But I LOVE this song!!!!

Kajagoogoo are still playing and touring to this day.

The extended version of that song is awesome, they spend time playing in that kind-of- jazz fusion groove.

From the vintage days of MTV with the British Invasion, big hair and synthesizers going for days. Videos like this went into heavy rotation for months on MTV and stayed there in the early 80's.

Well, he didn't left Genesis, he just made some solo albums, then came back to Genesis when they made their "Invisible touch" album in 1986, way after Kajagoogoo splitted. And Joseph is right, the gated reverb drum was used by Phil collins with Peter Gabriel "Intruder" in 1979, before Genesis recorded the "Duke" album with Phil collins. Anyway, the drums on "Too shy" sound more like Simmons elctronic drums than gated reverb drums. They were really a staple of 1980's pop scene.

Howard Jones Everlasting Love great 80’s pop

19 year-old bass player, Nick Beggs, now playing bass with Howard Jones. So odd to have heard this in the 8os, because while it was pop, it was super complex. This song was produced by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran, who came up with the middle 8. Brilliant song, one of the real gems of the 80s.. they broke up shortly afterwards…because they didn’t get along with the singer, Limahl. But they did have a reunion in VH1, in the 90s or early 2000s. Worth watching on KZread.

I haven't heard this in year's! Always liked it.. ✌❤🎶

Those 80's songs with great slap bass riffs.

I play all 80s and I have gotten a lot of people into them. All it took was 1 time for my co worker to hear this song and she loved it. It's her favorite song so much that she asked her mom and grandma if they knew the song :) She's 19 and her mom didn't know the song but her grandma did

We all went mad for this song when it came out. I was 19 Ah, youth!

Love the sounds of the 80's. Big bass, great keyboard sounds, good guitar riffs and those electronic drum beats are so defining of an era of music. A one hit wonder, but oh what a hit!

They brought all 5 of these guys back together, after 20 years of not playing, for a one night concert and they NAILED it....an excellent expose of the bands, the members and the reunion. Funny show. Incredible concert. Chris Hamill (Anagram "Limahl") never lost his voice, not a note. Their downfall was believing they were turning into a "teeny band" so they FIRED front man Limahl! The band died immediately afterwards. Fired the wrong guy. Should have fired their manager....

another one of those 80's songs that had that very cool vibe-man the 80's were amazing with the 2nd British Invasion-it was a fun time to be young.

Joe Jackson has a couple great 80's songs. Stepping Out and Is She Really Going Out With Him. Awesome piano on both tunes.
