"I Melt with You" is a song by the British post-punk/new wave band Modern English. The song, produced by Hugh Jones, was a single from the 1982 album After the Snow. It reached No. 7 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart and No. 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. The song gained popularity due to its airplay on MTV in early 1983 and its use in the ending titles and in a "falling in love" montage sequence in Valley Girl the same year. The band re-recorded it in 1990 for their album Pillow Lips, the re-released version peaking at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100. The reformed original line up of the band re-recorded it again in 2010 in a completely reworked style for inclusion in the movie I Melt With You.
It is ranked No. 39 on VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 80's and No. 7 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
According to vocalist Robbie Grey, the song is about a couple having sex as nuclear bombs fall.
I Melt with You is a 2011 American arthouse thriller film directed by Mark Pellington. It completed filming in September 2010. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2011. The film was critically panned.
Plot
Former college friends—Ron (Jeremy Piven), Jonathan (Rob Lowe), Richard (Thomas Jane), and Tim (Christian McKay) reunite in Big Sur during Spring break to celebrate Tim's 44th birthday. Each of the men enjoy some degree of professional success but are unfulfilled with their lives: Ron is a rich stockbroker, but is currently facing indictment from the SEC for embezzlement. Jonathan runs a successful medical practice, but all of his patients are wealthy drug addicts, he and his wife are divorced, and their young son identifies more with his mother's new husband than with Jonathan. Richard is a published author, but he has only written one book and now teaches high school English. Tim, an open bisexual, was until 5 years ago living in a happy relationship with a man, until accidentally causing the fatal car crash that took the lives of his boyfriend and his sister, Jill.
"With You" is a song written Ronald Muir and Larry Shell, and recorded by American country music artist Charly McClain. It was released in October 1982 as the second single from the album Too Good to Hurry. The song reached #7 on the BillboardHot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
With You is a 1981 album by American singer Stacy Lattisaw. Released on April 2, 1981 by Cotillion Records. Her break-through single, a cover of The Moments' hit "Love on a Two-Way Street", peaked at number twenty-six on the U.S. pop chart and number two on the U.S. R&B chart in 1981.
Gary LeVox said of the song, "That was truly enjoyable to write. Neil and Wendell had the melody idea and a chorus idea, and they called me in and we finished it that day. It’s a sexy tune. I think a lot of women would like to hear a man say they don’t have to do anything special to make him melt."
Reception
Rick Cohoon of Allmusic gave the song a positive review. He stated in his review that "Gary LeVox delivers a sultry, passionate performance backed up by some of the best harmony in Nashville."
Music video and controversy
The music video for "I Melt" was filmed in Miami, Florida by directors Robert Deaton and George Flanigan. It made headlines in USA Today for a shot featuring guitarist Joe Don Rooney's bare buttocks, and model Christina Auria taking a shower in the nude. When it debuted on Country Music Television on June 28, 2003, it became the first video showing nudity to air on the network.Great American Country banned the video when the group refused to release an edited version. Despite the controversy, the video reached number 1 on CMT's Top Twenty Countdown the week of October 2, 2003.

LYRICS
Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world crashing all around your face (let me hear you)
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace (c'mon)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
Trapped in a state of imaginary grace
I made a pilgrimage to save this human race
Never comprehending the race has long gone by (c'mon)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
The future's open wide
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I've seen some changes
But it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you, yeah
The future's open wide
Let's sing along
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm
Hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
(Woah woah woah woah woah)
Woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah (pathetic, absolutely pathetic)
Woah woah woah

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference
And it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you
I'll stop the world and melt with you

"I Melt with You" is a song by the British post-punk/new wave band Modern English. The song, produced by Hugh Jones, was a single from the 1982 album After the Snow. It reached No. 7 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart and No. 78 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. The song gained popularity due to its airplay on MTV in early 1983 and its use in the ending titles and in a "falling in love" montage sequence in Valley Girl the same year. The band re-recorded it in 1990 for their album Pillow Lips, the re-released version peaking at No. 76 on the Billboard Hot 100. The reformed original line up of the band re-recorded it again in 2010 in a completely reworked style for inclusion in the movie I Melt With You.
It is ranked No. 39 on VH1's 100 greatest songs of the 80's and No. 7 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
According to vocalist Robbie Grey, the song is about a couple having sex as nuclear bombs fall.
