Great chorus line "I can't breakaway" 1980s classic

I always loved this song Big Pig's "Breakaway" was also released as a 7" vinyl 45 in 1988. Classic.

Part of 3 x Big Pig 4K remasters I have posted today 1 December 2023, "Breakaway" peaked at #8 in Australia, #1 in New Zealand and #89 in the UK and #60 in the US. I have an existing non remastered copy of this video on my channel and it is extremely popular as it appeared on the Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure soundtrack. Big Pig use vocals, multiple keyboards and multiple drums only in their music (and an occasional harmonica). No guitars at all. This came out pretty well with no major issues. I have kept the original audio as I could not find a replacement. There are at least 7 different versions of this song, regardless as you can here this version is fine.

As always please share this video via the Share button under the video, then click the Like (Thumbs Up) button next to it. Feel free to Comment, and importantly, if you haven't done so already, please Subscribe to my channel.

Please consider supporting my channel with a donation - I need to raise almost $200 for one year of Youtube Premium or even $100 for 6 months as a start. 12 months is now a whopping $192. It's stupid marketing having a price people will baulk at, if it was $5 a month almost everyone would probably sign up. Youtube ads are an issue for me as I have to upload and test multiple videos on multiple devices, including 4K TV. With a spinal neck injury, I want to spend as less a time as possible remastering and testing videos. Remember, I don't even do 4K remasters for myself - I post them here for you then delete them. It is extra work doing 4K, so please consider that I provide this service for free. Even a $5 donation will help - I have 16, 000 subscribers so if I split the 192 dollars across 16, 000 subscribers that's 0.012 cents each. So you wouldn't think it would be hard would you ? But it is. I am however offering something that's a bit unique, so please consider the above.


Cheers, Austech

Aww I finally found this tune from my early days, man I was 21 when I first heard this number, ....CooL!!!! Rock on Big Pig

[bassstrangler]

Thank you! Hard to find anything in the US by this brilliant group. I had the cassette years ago, I finally found the CD for a reasonable price last year.

I finally found the original version 😊

This is, of course, awesome. Nonetheless, the SD (standard definition) glitchy VHS version is likely truest.

Love this version, the Roli Mosimann remix edit as opposed to the Nick Launay version which appears on the Bonk album.

I was always fascinated by how similar this video was to Pet Shop Boys - Left to my own devices. Today I remembered to check it and both were directed by Eric Watson.
