I'm a musician myself grew up in the 80's......Kool and the Gang were not my type of music at the time this song came out BUT I still to this day remember where I was when I heard this song for the first time !....Never heard it much after that day either but it made a BIG impression on me...Right now is probably the 3rd or 4th time in my life I've heard this song since that day but I've caught myself humming the chorus ...Well a part of the chorus because I never heard it enough to know the words ....For the last 30 some years now....An absolutely UNDERRATED song .....I haven't been playing music for a while now and have been thinking about putting a little jam band project together and if /when I do I'm going to insist on covering this song ...I'm sure it's been done many many times by hundreds of bands and singers but I'm SHOCKED no notable artists have covered this and made it into a hit again...The original is classic and it's also a song that has crazy potential for a super POWERFUL remake as well !....Just an AMAZING song all around !
Somehow, this jewel from Kool & the Gang had retreated far into the memory box of my brain for decades...but, it just got awakened while I was watching the first 10-15 minutes of the Netflix movie "Leave the World Behind"! I stopped the movie & jumped onto UA-cam, so I could listen to it again...& that heavy bass line just rocks my world!! ...sooooo GOOD! 🤩👍😄
@@cyrilm9023: I always knew what the song was about....I think everybody's probably run into that issue, at one time or another, during their lifetime. It's interesting, tho, towards the end of the video...the scary guys in black robes & masks...hidden meanings? I'd love to know the 'back story'! 🙄👍🤔
One of the most underrated groups of all time. They had 16 top 40 hits in the 80's which tied a record with another amazing band, Journey. That right there would tell you how awesome they were.
Yep, I did. Then the tape would get messed up. You'd have to take it out and roll it back up with your finger through the hole or just get a new tape and re-record it from the radio...LOL...The good ol' days!!!
I was in Sam’s Club minding my own business and this came on via the store radio. I had forgotten about this song and how great it is. The Best song ever. The 80’s were the best music era ever!
Isn't that dancer the most graceful dancer you ever saw. She's so gorgeous! I saw them twice at Municipal Auditorium in Nashville Tenn. in the 80's. Kool & The Gang brought the house down. We love you guys, we miss you alot. Thank You Very Much guys! 👉❤👈
Their songs have survived over 30 years now and are playing at every celebration. So much talent in that band. We are lucky to have witness and grow up with them. Also, great message and warning.
I Had Forgotten About This Song Until I Just Heard It In The Movie Leave The World Behind. So Here I Am Checking It Out Again After All These Years Reliving The Past. Love This Song Mislead
the more i stumble across this song the more i see how it didnt make it as big as some of there others but god damn this has one of the best bass ive heard it really surprises me that this wasnt as big as say get down on it or celebrations
Awesome song but it crosses so many genres other than rock. It could also be called funk, R&B, pop, early hip hop, I even hear a little disco in there. And yes, rock. Good music is good music no matter what genre.
Kool and gang rocked it. I really think their songs put everyone to shame back in the days, and now. All the different riffs and vocals , the depths of the groove. Nothing touches it. Even in 2022.
As a Philadelphia Phillies fan, I was introduced to Kool and the Gang by the song "Celebration" after their 1980 World Series win. Been a fan ever since!
Such a smooth song. These early/mid 80s funk rock, or whatever you wanna call them, songs are such underrated gems. Not normally the kind of stuff I listen to, but this song, Tonight, and Fresh are all legit tunes.
I sure am! And I'm just got done listening to Summer Madness. Now my time machine went from ' 74 to '84. Next thing I m going to in the 90s. Where they sample the great Kool and the gang
Back in 1985 I met this pretty UCLA student at a sorority party when I took a recruiting trip there. Memorable night dancing with her. Long story short, she wrote me telling me every time she heard this song it reminded her of the fun we had that nite.
Saw these guys in concert at the Tropicana last weekend in Vegas - still sounds just as good as they did 30 years ago !! Great group of guys ...keep on singing !! :-)
I forgot about this song until I just heard in a movie. I used to love it and still think it is one of K&TG best songs. I totally rocked out to this when I was 14. All the words came back to despite not hearing in for like 40 years. 😊
At work I heard this on Walmart radio. I’m 32 and I’m in love with it, the guitar and his singing killed me lol. I recently started listening to 80’s Metal/Rock. I believe the 80’s was one of the more prominent decades of music as a whole.
This is my favorite song by them! I recently saw them play at the Hollywood Bowl and they were absolutely incredible, on fire, lit and amazing! The quality of their musicianship is outstanding and they are just as good today as when they were on the charts. Outstanding show!
All u "young" posters:this group was the bomb!!From their 70"s hits to this in'85..they rocked souled &were tight ***This is a 4ever "80's" song,standing oh so tall 29 years later!!!!!
Amazing how so much of M.J.s music and video influences inspired the look and style of other artists' work in the 80s. Even with Kool and the Gang's "Misled". I always loved this jam. :-)
*****, You're right, Damian, M.J did open a lot of doors for a lot of artists, his music, as well as Kool & The Gang's and a whole list of others, will transcend the test of time!!!! I really miss the 80's music, it added a lot of happiness to the heart and made a person's soul just sore with happiness also :)
+Damian Christopher Michael is one of the pioneers of the Video age. He was one of the first to use "concept" videos over "performance" videos and it made the MTV era so great.
+thomascampr Dude Michael is an amalgam of various different styles. Yes he took influence from Bob Fosse but from others as well, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Astaire, Fosse, break dancers too.....there are too many influences to cite MJ taking major influence from just one. Still his style was his own and did influence a lot of people.
Oh man, I saw them twice in Nashville Tennessee in the 80's. You should have been there! The entire Municipal Auditorium playing air guitar in sync, like it was choreographed! It was awesome! 😎
Its a shame it took a movie to remind people of a song, i used to play this song so much i would lock up the cassette from reminding this song over and over music will never be like this again, but i still play this on all my Playlists ❤
PoPPa WooDie that's an ignorant statement. any musical form of expression deserves a degree of respect. MAYBE you just don't know music as intimately as I do.
Cool song and cool/funny to see not only the Michael Jackson influence on the video but also the whole Indiana Jones vibe! "Temple of Doom" came out this same year ('84), and boy they were rockin it!
Yes the wohooo part is def Michael Jackson influenced. As they have admitted in an interview that Somebody Watching Me...Rockwell + Michael Jackson influenced them to write this music.
Pepp5150 Greed and control of innovation through art and sound declared in 1998 by the government admistration at that time. And factor in the dawn of the information age through internet. American innovation through art and music has been on a decline and will no longer exist in this new era. Human beings when they create ideas through innovation cannot sustain the works because control of others and profit. Most Radio stations are robotic and controlled by one corporation. There are artist today in music but will never be on par with artist and songwriters of yesterday that were able to profit off their art without freedom to take songs for free. The ones who were born before 1985 lived when music was untouched and valued...I was born in 78 and remember the influence of my fathers records and mixed tapes. Goodtimes of days long gone🙄.
Money became the primary driving factor, well I guess it always was, but it became far too important to those companies, so commercial McDonalds music became the Status-Quo (pardon the pun..) and over-rode artist input. There are loads of talented artists around but they are not breaking through in many cases. Same thing in the movie industry in most cases. Mass-produced stuff that has low dialogue, lots of action to sell in China etc. and other non-primary English speaking nations... just commercial B.S. and once again, little director input for plot quality / devices etc.
This song was on the radio everyday in 1985 my aunts loved this song I was 13 back then and in 6th grade I remember my aunts dancing to this song it was really cool this song was HUGE in 1985
R.I.P. Woody Sparrow, Ricky West, Charles Smith, Robert "Spike" Mickens, Clifford Adams, Otha Nash, Ronald Bell(Khalis Bayyan), Dennis DT Thomas and George "Funky" Brown, May you all rest in peace🙏
@@AttilaTheSwampWitch Yes, They are all dead except Robert "Kool" Bell, JT Taylor, Curtis "Fitz" Williams, Michael Ray, Larry Gittens, Earl Toon, Kevin Bell,,Sennie "Skip" Martin and Shawn McQuiller, They are still alive.
This song is absolutely underrated. One of their best.

the video is not necessary......racist to say the least.....
My personal favorite ❤
that mix of funky licks, hard-rock riffs and robotic bassline just screams "mid '80s masterpiece"
This song pairs really well like a fine wine with 'Automatic' by Pointer Sisters! (from the same time)
I ❤ it
@@nickbliappis The Pointer Sisters is my absolute favorite girl group (along with The Emotions). lol
I like your description.
You ain't never lied man💥🍷💥🍷
For us growing up in the 80s, we were so privileged to grow up with Kool and the Gang.

The song is about Cocaine. The women represents Coke.
@@Berighteousone of course, everything was a cocaine metaphor in the 1980s
Grew up in the 70’s and 80’s and kool and the gang were the bomb.🙏🏻🇺🇸💯🤙🏻
The best Generation ever 80th people with best music ever
Somehow, this jewel from Kool & the Gang had retreated far into the memory box of my brain for decades...but, it just got awakened while I was watching the first 10-15 minutes of the Netflix movie "Leave the World Behind"! I stopped the movie & jumped onto UA-cam, so I could listen to it again...& that heavy bass line just rocks my world!! ...sooooo GOOD! 🤩👍😄
I did the same thing!
After this comment I’ll go back and finish watching the movie. 😁
No doubt. I just heard this on that new movie called Leave the world behind.
Same. Was surprised when I heard it. Came to listen then I'll proceed with the movie.
Nice, but after watching the video, do you get what the song is talking about now though? 😉
@@cyrilm9023: I always knew what the song was about....I think everybody's probably run into that issue, at one time or another, during their lifetime.

Leave the World Behind revived this dope cut 🥰
“Leave The World Behind” movie on Netflix brought me here. I forgot all about this CLASSIC! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Me too, I just started watching it.
Me too😊
SAME HERE! I remember living in Germany where My Dad was Stationed and Heard this on the radio...I was 3 or 4 at the time
@@KALICOJACK83 aawww, bless your heart. ♥️
same here lol. boring film but awesome soundtrack
One of the most underrated groups of all time. They had 16 top 40 hits in the 80's which tied a record with another amazing band, Journey. That right there would tell you how awesome they were.
With a bottle of broken dreams
One did Stone Love, the other did Stone in Love.
TRUTH!!!-
They are both awesome.
Very underrated.
I remember waiting hours for this song to play while holding my tape recorder close to the radio. Anyone else do that as a kid in the '80's?
💯💯💯💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yep.
Sure did but not for this song don't even ask me why i looked it up but gawd was this an awful piece of doodoo...she's as heavy as a chevy???? WTF
You bet !
Yep, I did. Then the tape would get messed up. You'd have to take it out and roll it back up with your finger through the hole or just get a new tape and re-record it from the radio...LOL...The good ol' days!!!
I was in Sam’s Club minding my own business and this came on via the store radio. I had forgotten about this song and how great it is. The Best song ever. The 80’s were the best music era ever!
I would have bust a move all up and down that isle😎
The women in white symbolizes Cocaine.
I was pumping gas and this came on. I hadn't heard it in at least 20+ years. Now it's in my regular rotation.
Isn't that dancer the most graceful dancer you ever saw. She's so gorgeous! I saw them twice at Municipal Auditorium in Nashville Tenn. in the 80's. Kool & The Gang brought the house down. We love you guys, we miss you alot. Thank You Very Much guys! 👉❤👈
Very underrated group. March 2024
Underrated?.... Kool N' The Gang was the shit back in the day. Definitely not underrated.
Their songs have survived over 30 years now and are playing at every celebration. So much talent in that band. We are lucky to have witness and grow up with them.
Also, great message and warning.
"CELEBRATION!"
For Real! Extremely lucky.
That's why these songs are called classics .
You hit the nail on the head a great sound.
40 years this song is from 1984
I hope everybody is voting for them in the 2024 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame 2024!!!
This is one of their most underated songs..one of my favorites for sure 😎👍
Song is badass in 2024 ! Underrated !
I used to love roller skating to this in the 80’s😎🛼
I Had Forgotten About This Song Until I Just Heard It In The Movie Leave The World Behind. So Here I Am Checking It Out Again After All These Years Reliving The Past. Love This Song Mislead
Same, but I didn't know the song, I instantly was like woah!
@@jimzzypeak me too
After 32 years listing this song again it's a great song.
Yes Indeed !
True
How could you listing a song?
Where the hell does time go?
The days before rap came along and ruined pop music.
I'm convinced 80s songs is the key to ETERNAL YOUTH and ENERGY.
They're everything ❤
I think you're on to something 🤔
@AuditorInvestor….
Preach baby, preach!! Best decade for dancing till the wee hours then hitting Denny’s or Taco Bell at 3am!! 💃🪩🎵🕺
I Love That! And Yes!!!
Me too!!#
JT Taylor’s voice was so clean. Great band in the 80s.
J.T is one of the baddest front man ever. So underated.
Was reading this comment and looked up at the video at 2:45. Best time to look up.
I'm a little hard for him and I'm straight as fuck. I want to be him when I grow up and I'm 30 years old.
Yes he is and handsome too
I met him years ago... such a nice guy
Been looking for this. Thought it was N.E.
I was a kid when this first came out, damn I hate growing up.
J.T Taylor Is one the most charismatic, soulful& criminally UNDERRATED Vocalists..EVER..
Jerome Lange Fucking A
Hell yeah.
Absolutely true!
Jerome Lange sorry but the worst thing Kool did was to bring on this j.t. clown, jerry curls and all, just my opinion.
He was just inducted into the songwriters Hall of fame.
I PERSONALLY THINK THIS ONE OF KOOL AND THE GANG'S BEST SONG FROM THE 1980'S.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kirk Douglas in this video lived to be 103
Definately
I definitely agree
Possibly on the top 10
This song is a absolute banger. When Kool and the Gang added JT, it took them to another level. They became a hit making machine.
This song & "Tonight" were Kool & The Gang's 2 most unjustifiably under-rated & undeservedly over-looked kick-ass songs of the '80s
You are 1000% Rihht
the more i stumble across this song the more i see how it didnt make it as big as some of there others but god damn this has one of the best bass ive heard it really surprises me that this wasnt as big as say get down on it or celebrations
What about Joanna??
Shes Fresh is also an awesome song of theres.. the beat is so addictive
I thought i was the only one who felt this way about these songs.
The guitar riff is a monster
Milton Brown Who's playing the guitar riff on this song?
Claydes Charles Smith
Absolutely
Bass Too
The production here is so fucking clean. Love the ripping guitar, the funky bass working with the drums, and the backing vocals.
JT Taylor is so fine ❤️ I had a crush on him back in the day ❤️❤️❤️
Saw them in CT. They were on a rotating stage so everyone could see them. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. They are superb performers.
I recently saw them as well in NJ. There were fucking bad ass. Their current lineup in the band is top tier.
You are so lucky!
Sometimes it takes NETFLIX to remind me how GREAT 80s songs were - ABSOLUTE BANGER!
This riff in my head led me here, “My heart, my soul, my love, is that the goal”. Awesome music by Kool and the Gang
One of my favorite Kool tracks. Great melodic guitar riff and JT's screaming harmony. The guy was a fantastic vocalist for the band.
Shane Anthony melodic guitar where?
These guys could rock hard when they wanted to. Versatile!
JT is a great vocalist, He's still handsome and sexy.
BigShow is 6'10 tall it is. He's older now. He should perform with the band.
One of the bandmember passed away. Was he the one who died?
This song is almost 30 years old and I can't sit still when I hear this jus wanna dance !!!
YES!!
Music will never be this good again
Yup, now it’s the Taylor Swifts and the Lizzos. Back then they knew how to make music.
Ever. The music today is trash!
& THE OTHER HALF IS GARBAGE GANSTER HIP HOP! RIP# Great music 🎶 when MTV had actual videos!
Danced many nights at the clubs to this. You're right. This music is gone. But we can still listen. Loved the 56 Chevy at the beginning.
yes
Respect to an R&B/funk group that can make a rock song sound this good.
Kool & the Gang always delivered. Their roots are in jazz. They could play.
Love how heavy this whole album is, very solid
Awesome song but it crosses so many genres other than rock. It could also be called funk, R&B, pop, early hip hop, I even hear a little disco in there. And yes, rock. Good music is good music no matter what genre.
Kool and gang rocked it. I really think their songs put everyone to shame back in the days, and now. All the different riffs and vocals , the depths of the groove. Nothing touches it. Even in 2022.
Yes the sound it so enticing and addictive you need more of it.
LAST DAY OF 2023 BABYYYYYYY 💙💙💙
12/31/23.... 123123 SUNDAY!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE EVERYONE 🎉🎉🎉
I'm 17 and music like this makes me want to live back in the 80's, also the outfits, mostly the glitter ... and the flares ..
it was a good time back then. at least you got youtube to enjoy them.
So takes me back to the beautiful 80s!
The movie, "Leave The World Behind" led me here!
I was NOT misled! It was worth it!
Please please come back. We need you!!!
Damn, these guys were good. It's a crying shame there are no groups today who can make music like this.
Young artists don't know how playing a real instrument
Facts!
As a Philadelphia Phillies fan, I was introduced to Kool and the Gang by the song "Celebration" after their 1980 World Series win. Been a fan ever since!
I've played this song 20 times in the last 8 hours. Love you Kool and Gang!
my favorite kool and the gang song!
love it
Mine as well. It's one of those songs that has both an r&b and rock feel to it. And that high pitch vocal is incredible...
@Jennifer Harris
Really?! To me, Too Hot, Cherish, Fresh and Joanna, are better.
Tonight was a good one, similar
They basically copied Beat It lol. Lots of MJ influence here!
James Taylor, he is a truly singer, what a awesome voice....God bless you Mr. Taylor😍
Such a smooth song. These early/mid 80s funk rock, or whatever you wanna call them, songs are such underrated gems. Not normally the kind of stuff I listen to, but this song, Tonight, and Fresh are all legit tunes.
Best Kool & the Gang put out...never gets old..modern R&B should take lessons.
Who is here in 2024?❤
Me!!
I’m right here too!!😎👍🏿☝🏿🥳
Yes 😘!
Totally 💯 here Babe 🥳!
I sure am! And I'm just got done listening to Summer Madness. Now my time machine went from ' 74 to '84. Next thing I m going to in the 90s. Where they sample the great Kool and the gang
I was in hard rock bands in the 70's and early 80's. The tone on that guitar at 2:55 is kick ass. I listened to this every day.
This IS their best song- Celebration a close 2nd
Maaaan Misled, Tonight, and Fresh were all bangers! Then Celebration. 😉
Here from "Leave the world behind". Forgot how much I love this song! What a badass jam.
40 year old song I remember 14 or 15 years old when it dropped. I had those same feelings when I was kid.
Back in 1985 I met this pretty UCLA student at a sorority party when I took a recruiting trip there. Memorable night dancing with her. Long story short, she wrote me telling me every time she heard this song it reminded her of the fun we had that nite.
OH. BOY.... I’m stuck in the 80s....I still know all the words to this song...Alrighty then ✌🏾
I like the way the gang gets out of the car rockin' out at the end. Great great music.
Who ‘s here after « Leave the world behind »? Great track! I love it 🥰🥰🥰

So lucky! Currently here in Vegas hoping to see them soon!
Lucky you.

So do I but i listen to 80s music daily😄😄
I was a teen in the 80s. Good old days
I was a kid in the 80's too. Born in 78
They don't make music like this anymore! 80s were the BEST!
The 80s were real good. The 60s were the BEST
You got that right
Because they don't know how...I was in sixth grade when this came out and it still touches me!
Mr&Mrs.Knight333 perfect mix of rock and soul
Come on, we all know the 70s rocked it best!
I forgot about this song until I just heard in a movie. I used to love it and still think it is one of K&TG best songs. I totally rocked out to this when I was 14. All the words came back to despite not hearing in for like 40 years. 😊
I think we heard it in the same movie
What a cool song
@joshua-nf3rx a Netflix movie. "Leave The World Behind"

Killer track!! Miss this 80s funk/rock sound 💙
One of the best ❤ thank you for allowing me to reminisce❤
At work I heard this on Walmart radio. I’m 32 and I’m in love with it, the guitar and his singing killed me lol. I recently started listening to 80’s Metal/Rock. I believe the 80’s was one of the more prominent decades of music as a whole.
Always loved the distorted, overdriven electric guitar chords on this and also on my favorite, Tonight!!
I have NO IDEA how I know this song word for word? I was a small kid in 85, thank you Satellite radio for rehashing a hidden memory!! ❤️❤️
This is my favorite song by them! I recently saw them play at the Hollywood Bowl and they were absolutely incredible, on fire, lit and amazing! The quality of their musicianship is outstanding and they are just as good today as when they were on the charts. Outstanding show!
My favorite song by them too
Did they play this ?

You mean 84 not 85
Amazing how so much of M.J.s music and video influences inspired the look and style of other artists' work in the 80s.
Even with Kool and the Gang's "Misled".
I always loved this jam.

+Damian Christopher Michael is one of the pioneers of the Video age. He was one of the first to use "concept" videos over "performance" videos and it made the MTV era so great.
WRONG!! Michael ripped off his style from BOB FOSSE. Go UA-cam Bob Fosse Michael Jackson dance moves.
+thomascampr Dude Michael is an amalgam of various different styles. Yes he took influence from Bob Fosse but from others as well, James Brown, Jackie Wilson, Astaire, Fosse, break dancers too.....there are too many influences to cite MJ taking major influence from just one. Still his style was his own and did influence a lot of people.
This joint always reminds of Atlantic Starr's Cool, Calm, Collected. Kool and the Gang's foray into the electro funk space.
Kool and the gang has soooo many great songs that makes you want to dance and get down to the beat. It's so awesome.
You ain't lying! They had rhythm and serious harmony.
And they proved, that , Kool and the gang could rock as good as white bands.
From back when music was awesome. One of the best hits of the 80's.
I challenge ANYONE to sit still when this is playing...I can't !
Oh man, I saw them twice in Nashville Tennessee in the 80's. You should have been there! The entire Municipal Auditorium playing air guitar in sync, like it was choreographed! It was awesome! 😎
One of the best groups in the history of modern music and one of their best songs.
Its a shame it took a movie to remind people of a song, i used to play this song so much i would lock up the cassette from reminding this song over and over music will never be like this again, but i still play this on all my Playlists ❤
Reminds me of the skating rink and arcade and all the other kool things and places of the great 80's.
There just isnt music like this anymore, very sad!

One of my favs by K&TG! We just left the arena Foxwoods Casino and WOW, What an AWESOME SHOW!! Can’t wait to see these guys again!!!
a very underated song, kool and the gang were great .
Kool and the Gang from Jersey City NJ just like me.
Brings back those good memories of watching music videos when i was 9 years old back in 1984'' . 40 years ago!😎
This should totally have more views 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cool song and cool/funny to see not only the Michael Jackson influence on the video but also the whole Indiana Jones vibe! "Temple of Doom" came out this same year ('84), and boy they were rockin it!

Pepp5150 corporate music companies now and no music men are not head of music in more .
Pepp5150 Greed and control of innovation through art and sound declared in 1998 by the government admistration at that time. And factor in the dawn of the information age through internet. American innovation through art and music has been on a decline and will no longer exist in this new era. Human beings when they create ideas through innovation cannot sustain the works because control of others and profit. Most Radio stations are robotic and controlled by one corporation. There are artist today in music but will never be on par with artist and songwriters of yesterday that were able to profit off their art without freedom to take songs for free. The ones who were born before 1985 lived when music was untouched and valued...I was born in 78 and remember the influence of my fathers records and mixed tapes. Goodtimes of days long gone🙄.
Money became the primary driving factor, well I guess it always was, but it became far too important to those companies, so commercial McDonalds music became the Status-Quo (pardon the pun..) and over-rode artist input. There are loads of talented artists around but they are not breaking through in many cases.
Same thing in the movie industry in most cases. Mass-produced stuff that has low dialogue, lots of action to sell in China etc. and other non-primary English speaking nations... just commercial B.S. and once again, little director input for plot quality / devices etc.
This song was on the radio everyday in 1985 my aunts loved this song I was 13 back then and in 6th grade I remember my aunts dancing to this song it was really cool this song was HUGE in 1985
Classic example of just how good the 80's music was. Great song by Kool & The Gang, and I listen to it often.
I feel this video lead up to a hit that never became. Too bad because it was fire. So underrated
Omg yes!!! This is my favorite song by them. It was and still a jam!! And always overlooked.
00:17 - Kubrick's inspiration for "Eyes Wide Shut"
