The U.K. arm of Rhino Records this week uploaded a series of classic New Order videos to the label’s YouTube channel, giving us the perfect excuse to dedicate this installment of Vintage Video to one of our favorite clips: the band’s 1993 “Baywatch”-themed performance of “Regret,” filmed for “Top of the Pops.”
Legend has it New Order wanted to have David Hasselhoff lip-synch along to the song, but the show’s producers nixed that. Instead, you get Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, Gillian Gilbert and a very shaggy Peter Hook miming away on the sand, surrounded by beach-going extras. Hasselhoff does stop by for a cameo, too, although it’s pretty tame.

the last great New Order song…block out video from memory
that video (which i’ve never seen for some reason) is NOT how that song (which i love) makes me feel. NOW i have that feeling like i just saw my mom naked by accident. couldn’t watch more than 10 seconds. i’m going to pretend this never happened.
The last great new order song was crystal…
The last great NO song was Someone Like You
