Yet for some reason The Boys occupy a neglected position in relation to London's early Punk scene, probably because they weren't clothed by Sex or managed by Malcolm McLaren. Being tagged the "Punk Beatles" couldn't have helped either, and by '81 they called it quits.
Plagued by mishaps, bad timing and plain bad luck they managed to keep smiling and come up with corking, hyper-speed pop classics like "Brickfield Nights" and "Rue Morgue". In short The Boys were a gem of a band and a total inspiration to any Punk band who value tunes over noise.
There are others artists with the same name:
2) Jheryl Busby signed the Abdulsamad Brothers, better known as the Boys, while employed at MCA Records. "The Boys" Khiry (born November 8, 1973), Tajh (born December 10, 1976), Hakim (born March 27, 1975), and Bilal Abdulsamad (born April 17, 1978) started singing in their hometown of Carson, CA, when Bilal was five and Khiry nine. They are best known for their 1988 hit single "Dial My Heart". Today, they live in Gambia on the West Coast of Africa
3) The Boys. Australia (1980), Made "When You're Lonely" 7" a nice new wave/power pop single.
4) The Boys were a Lincoln, Nebraska band power pop group. They put out three singles including "She's All Mine" (1975) and "You Make Me Shake" (1977).
5) The Boys was a powerpop group from Sweden.

Spanish Eyes
The Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we still go on searching for each other
Knowing that hate is wrong and love is right
For us tonight
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
Let it be (let it be) if we're nothing more than dreamers
Who believe (who believe) that we see no wall between us
How can they be in my heart (in my heart) and in my mind (in my mind)
When all I could find
When I look into your Spanish eyes
I know the reason why I am alive
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes
I loved you from a distance
Thought I couldn't reach that far
I can't believe how close that we are (believe how close we are, ooh ooh)
When I look into your Spanish eyes
And the world is so beautiful tonight
It's a place I've never been
And it comes from deep within
And it's telling me that I'm about to win first prize
Knowing all I have to do
Is reach out my hand to you
Anytime I want to look into your Spanish eyes (ooh yeah)
In "Spanish Eyes," The Boys sing about being in the arms of one another while still searching for each other. The lyrics suggest that although hate is wrong, love is right for them tonight. When the singer looks into their lover's Spanish eyes, they feel alive and the world becomes more beautiful. It's a place the singer has never been before, and it feels like they're about to win first prize. All they have to do is reach out their hand to their lover anytime they want to look into their Spanish eyes.
The song overall seems to be about the power of love and connection. The singer and their lover are searching for each other, but when they come together, they feel like they're in a new and beautiful world. The idea of Spanish eyes brings in a sense of exoticism and passion that is associated with Spanish culture. The song suggests that when they look into their lover's Spanish eyes, they can see why they are alive and the world becomes more beautiful.
One interesting feature of "Spanish Eyes" is that it was released as a single from The Boys' 1987 album "East Meets West". The song was written by Diane Warren, a prolific songwriter who has written hit songs for many famous artists. Another interesting fact is that "Spanish Eyes" was covered by Ricky Martin in 1995 and became a hit in many Spanish-speaking countries. The Boys' version was also used in the 1995 film "Desperado".

This is definitely one of BSB's most underrated songs <3
Samuel Spencer
I agree
Sim Kian Kiong
Original singer of this song engelbert humperdink...BSB copycat
Uzma
@simkiankiong3599 sorry but that song is nothing like the BSB's Spanish eyes. They share the same song name but otherwise no similarity in any way.
Sammi Sam
