You ain't supposed to teasse with them😢😢😢😢😢

RIP Maggie Roche. Fantastic band so much stuff. Check out first album Seductive Reasoning: Down the Dream, West Virginia, Jill of All Trades

Maybe they just suck and that's why SNL didn't do anything for their career.

I come hear listen to the song as a reminder. It's a struggle these days.

How have I never heard of this band before?

When Suzzy suddenly appears along with Maggie. Great moment at 2.33.

There's something about this song... I have listened to it 100 times at least, I can listen to it 10+ times in a row and I never get tired of it. It's like it's been infused with this essence, outside of this world , that makes it a perfect amount of listenable , but still bringing this joy and something to every listen. I can't explain it. Like entities from another universe with intelligence lightyears beyond current human understanding chose this song to put their something into and makes it so magical. Does anyone else feel this way about this song?

❤❤💔

Maggie looks so lovely.

Maggie, Terre and Suzzy performed at various clubs in Greenwich Village in NYC, as well as on many TV shows, like Saturday Night Live and , I take it, Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, Soundstage, Austin City Limits and Evening at Pops!

oh how I love this song and as an older woman..can tell you this is TRUTH....everyone has a light within that is good...is pure..is God less.......we are all of the one spirit

Back in that innocent time in so many ways. Love The Roches.

Awesome singing and sentiment to wring tears out of any heart. But… ‘everyone is good’? Maybe babies. Or maybe all that’s meant is something like “people are not bad on account of social standing or the color of their hair or choice of socks, so let’s stop breaking bad on each other on those accounts”. But it doesn’t feel like that’s what the song is after, those lyrics are more universal and absolute. ‘Everyone’: nope. You have to count me out, at least. (So at current count, that’s like eight-billion-something, minus one.) And not ‘is’, if ‘is’ means a current unwavering state of being including thought, intention, speech, & action, and not a hoped for future good self, or some dimension of self in an alternate parallel reality. And not ‘good’, except by compromising or diluting the idea of ‘good’ so much that it loses its meaning in relativistic mush. I’m going with Jesus on this one… “there is none good but one, that is, God”. Maybe he meant himself as Christ, but I have some doubts that it describes the rest of us as we relate to real goodness. If you asked if i needed another slice of pizza i might say ‘no thanks, i’m good’, but that’s about it for me anyway. Anyway, lovely singing and a beautiful wish. May it come true someday.

I discovered The Roches when their track Hammond Song was sampled by The Avalanches - my goodness what sublime voices!

RIP Maggie. Everyone IS good.

The Roches were unique and great

This group shold have become bigger than Springsteen.

❤❤as long as you can eat and work and have fun and work make friends enjoy your life as an artist ..enjoy ...😅 This is funny Roches are hilarious 🎉love them

Sublime! Love these ladies. ❤❤

This song is so moving, it kills me.

Lurve The Roches - I played their albums to death in the 1980's 💕

Wow!!! 🤩🤩🤩 - Beautiful vocal harmonies and superb communicative “madness”!!! - Bravo and thank you 👏👏👏

Beautiful

Masterpiece

Just got tears washing down my face. Always loved these musician singers so much... saw them perform together once in a little club and it was unforgettably intricate, so great....

I heard them perform this in New York years ago with my art school friends from Canada and bought the tape to bring back with me and it’s taken me years to realize why and how this song is very true. Everyone is good in spirit. 💖

'84 Another World Tour Wax Museum DC & about a decade ± later in So Beach at St Talkhouse I was blessed to act like I worked there, held up opening the stage door to get the opportunity to tell them "I saw you at....; "You guys did structural damage there!'' IT WAS A COMPLIMENT! EVERYONE IN ALL OTHER ROWS WAS SEATED IN FRONT OF MY POV. SO WHEN THEY HIT - I SAW ALL HEADS TURNING TO THEIR LEFT & THE RIGHT SILENTLY AMAZED AT HOW EACH'S LITTLE HAIRS ON ARMS STOOD AT ATTENTION & ORGASMIC RUSHES WASHED OVER, AROUND, & THROUGH EACH ONE OF US. AH HARMONICS- NEVER BEFORE NOR SINCE! EVEN THOUGH MY EQUIPMENT WAS CONFISCATED AT THE DOOR, MY NEW FRIEND TO MY LEFT HAD EXACTLY THE SAME GEAR/SYSTEM & I SPENT THE NIGHT TAPING AFTER HE'D EVEN GONE TO SLEEP. THAT WAS A 1 IN A MILLION & 650 HUNDRED THOUSAND 5HUNDRED & 67 CHANCE SHOW. THAT TRIO COULD HAVE SHATTERED GLASS LIKE ERTHA KITT ON THAT COMMERCIAL! NOT ANY 1 (NONE) AMONG THE MANY HUNDREDS OF 'REAL' CONCERTS BEFORE OR AFTER THAT NIGHT EVEN CAME CLOSE! NEVER. I DON'T CARE IF ANYONE THINKS THAT IT'S AN EXAGGERATED COMPLIMENT TO THE ROCHES. IF I COULD TIME TRAVEL WITH A FOOL- I'D BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT IS A FACT. THEIR MOM WAS RIGHT TO BE PROUD OF HER CHILDREN - 4 INCLDG A BROTHER DAVID PERFORMED THAT LATER NIGHT & I WAS BLESSED WITH TWO & THE CHANCE TO TELL THEM HOW THEY MADE THAT PLACE I'D FIRST SEEN THEM IN LITERALLY SHAKE! FROM TRICKS LIKE JUST GOING: HAAAA. 🎼 THAT WAS A SIMPLE THING FOR THEM, THEN, THERE. WOW

That wedgie wasn't a big nothing. Poor Maggie! Love this band and love this song so much. Wish there was more video of these guys!

"Put aside your religion. Do your god a favor. And wouldn't it be something to be loving and kind." Love you, The Roches. RIP, Maggie.

They are adorable.

This song is a beautiful expression of heartbreak and disappointment, masked by that cynical sense of humor present throughout all of The Roches' catalogue. Though most of us haven't had the opportunity to be on TV and potentially become huge stars, I'm sure we can all think of a time where we were very excited about something that ended up being a tremendous letdown. The type of disappointment that is almost extravagant; a "big" nothing. While a lot of people find this song funny and a bit cheesy (very 80's), I think at its core this song is very tragic and sad. It can come across as a knee-slapper, didn't-win-the-lottery, back-to-reality song, but I think if you really listen to the harmonies and the chords, it's deeper than that. It's an expression of feeling crushed, heart broken, and devestated. We all want to believe our dreams can come true. And when we get as close as we can to those dreams coming true, only to realize that we'll never be closer and yet so far away, I feel there is nothing more tragic. This is one of my favorite songs.

Inspired by this wonderful song, my husband and I have a catch phrase around the house when we meet with disappointment. "Well, that was a Big Nuthin'."

I hadn't heard this in years and it popped in my head recently.

Saw this video once when I was about 11.. trying my hardest to find Indie/Folk bands on early morning MTV (they just didn't play that stuff in Industrial-town Ohio). I hated the video lol but the tune always stayed with me. Popped in my head 5 mins ago. Can't believe I just found this.

I Still Love So Much XXOO

The bridge that starts right after the 2:00 mark is something you scream off rooftops

My favorite Roches song. I believe Maggie had cancer at this time...

I recall enjoying this quirky video when it first came out. Years (OK, decades) later, I tried to recall who did it and went searching for it without any luck. Now I stumbled upon it quite by accident.

This is absolutely beautiful!

This reminds me of my college days at The University of Georgia. REM, The B-52s, Love Tractor, etc.

Love these ladies sooooo much Remembering Maggie. ❤️❤️❤️

The message is sublime and beautifully crafted x

I think this is the first Roches song I ever heard, over 35 years ago, but I'd never seen this video clip. As expected, it's funny/whimsical/harmonious.

the outfits in this video ... giving me life

maggie RIP, I've always loved the Roches and yes, everyone is good! x

Beautiful. So glad to have found this again

So uniquely beautiful although sisters, so different. God bless the Roches forever.

I hung out with their touring sound man in SF many years ago. I said, you have the greatest job in the world. He said they fight like a bag of cats. :)
