Imagine if this was the only proof that human life existed
Im okay with that. Beats anything they'd learn on the history channel
@@RokuErickson i agree, this also beats any porn video from the same period.
@@DavidBoura This is where you and I part ways sir
@@RokuErickson VHS and Betacam played a role in demography
@@DavidBoura VHS was the peak of porn tbh
I can imagine this being performed at a school assembly. and everyone just being too shocked to stop it.
Max Gershfield ha ha classic comment
Damn that is funny.
They actually had to stop having “talent shows” in schools where I live for literally that reason…
This is actually very normal in Belgium. This attire and dance are pretty customary in the Walloon region on New Year's Day. 😅
Enjoy....
ACID ROCK
*flings arms wildly around*
@@bugout2hills hahahaha niceeee
@@bugout2hills Haha
“AHHHHHH!!!!!!”
@@bugout2hills LMAO !!!
A group so way ahead of their time we haven't even caught up to them yet.
This was parading 80s cheese, while during the 80s..
To this day
This was Belgian New Beat.
🤣
And never will.
I had a very gay dream last night and it went a little something like this.
Was it clean and heavy? 😮
😂😂😂
@@SirGingrich Well played, Sir.
@@SirGingrich LOOOL
Dedicated to the gay Steelworkers of america
Keep reaching for that rainbow!
It’s a shame so much of their work has gone over seas. “Gay Steel Workers of China” have no idea that rock went from easy to clean and heavy.
hot stuff comin through!
"Dad, why did you take me to a gay steel mill?"
"I don't know!!"
God bless ’em.
This video is the best thing that's ever happened to me
DJMAUS Same
Also same
Hands down! totally agree!
RIGHT?! And no judgement on the video; they're feeling it as much as I am!
Me too, and I mostly listen to polka.
Who else is still keeping it "clean and heavy" in 2021? Acid rock, HUH!
Try 2023. 😁
2024 here
This could easily be a weird street gang from the warriors
"The Greenwich Lords of Gay". Attacking with hairspray.
azynkron looooooool. Pmsl laffin,, wot a comment
Instead of The Lizzies..it's the Jizzies..
"the clean-heavies"
ya think they weren't rollin back then. lol
Is anyone else here trying to figure out what acid rock is 💙
I was at a club in the late 80s. In San Antonio Texas and I recall seeing the people dancing to this song, people standing around. I was 17. It was kinda cool I must admit. These people were dancing like there was no tomorrow.
I observe this 2024 and see and cannot help but feel disturbed by how those on socials think their dancing and so called creativity is unique and special? WTF?
I cannot recall witnessing such uncreative, mediocre, people in my entire life. I'm not being mean just logical and realistic. I'm not hating I'm just pointing out the fact that we all reduce ourselves to rats and mice when we have the ability to be something so much more. It's a choice. Too many choose dumbass sht.
Belgium nu beat
gay or not gay.....that's not the point...
The point is that THIS SONG was a BIG BIG tune in our Belgian scene of New Beat.....
gay is pretty much the safest thing for electronic music
@@laminebaazi4376 Indeed. It has to be gay, ............. as in happy & merry.
No Sir. Definitely Gay.
"There was a time that Rock'n'roll was easy! But now it's keen and heavy!" 🕺 This video is pure gold 🤣
thought it was clean and happy lol
@@RepublicofODLUM I thought it was "keen and heavy" 🤷🏻
The clean heavies…
Sounds like the lgbt gang from “the warriors”…
I think it's 'Clean and heavy"
Who else is nostalgic for the time when rock-and-roll was easy?
I do prefer it, though, now that it's clean and heavy.
Dude, STFU!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💕
ROTFL 🤣
It was huge for me this I bought it on 12" and I danced at home to it, at my friend's and in lots of northern UK warehouse clubs but the video I only saw recently and though FS that's camp😂😂
Best comment
I'd like to think this was the song my mother was listening to while giving birth to me.
+ShueTube *conceiving
Thinking while conceiving LOL
ShueTube 😂😂😂
ShueTube wtf
I’d like to think that too, but I also know better.
In a recent interview Frank De Wulf was asked about this video, its not the group its just 3 guys dancing to the track so it could be played on TV as it didn't have a video. similar thing happened on Top Of The Pops when Pan's People would dance to records that didnt have a video.
Her: I bet he’s out cheating
Him and the boys:
Getting that good old acid cock 😂
I can't count how many times I've watched this over the last few years, but it's genuinely still the greatest, most satisfying thing I have ever discovered on UA-cam.
Still the fucking best.
@@AnonymousNothing and still
There is not enough acid in the world to get me to enjoy this shit or think it is rock but I've watched it about 20 times today because it makes me laugh so damn hard.
STILL IS!!!
Still
Who is coming here after listening to Taylor ?😊
Me 😂
And I get why she doesn't like it 😂
Not me.
Oh shit
the beats too real, he had to lose the jacket
who saw that coming ?
TUNNEL SNAKES RULE!!
we are the tunnel snakes and we rule
Hey Amata, i can show you a REAL Tunnel Snake
gay or not gay.....that's not the point...
The point is that THIS SONG was a BIG BIG tune in our Belgian scene of New Beat.....
I've watched this video countless times during many years and I never quite wrap my head around how it makes me feel. It's.just.so.bizarre.
Just read my msg from 10 months ago. lol same deal. Not lying here!
the videoclip was 10 years out off his time,, and Frank de Wulf (he is a genious)
It's like a weird Matt Berry Sunff Box skit
You're feeling clean and happy
God bless Frank de Wulf, Joey Beltram and all the Belgians whose masterpieces rocked Manchester in the late 80s early 90s. ✊
the cameraman in the shot makes it
This is a type of song that is heard in a club where you can almost feel the drugs and alcohol in the room.
We are one.
wow. this almost looks like it could be a silly "Kids in the Hall" sketch.
maaaaan i thought the same thing!!!!!!!!!
Maybe if didn’t understand the humor, and you were only copying the surface elements...
I was going to say it reminded me of something off Tim and Eric.
So true 👍🏼
Im here cuz of Taylor , now that we dont talk
OMG I am both dying laughing and loving it. Sweet era this was, but oh SO SERIOUS. Poorly filmed. Wish I had a fraction of this energy now. They can come lay some ceramic tile at my house. haha OmG my daughter is laughign at me laughing my ass off.
Dat beat though! Is nobody pointing out the amazingness of this beat???
it's by the awesome Frank de Wulf also author of COMPRESSION, belgian classic
Belgian New Beat buddy!
It kinda reminds me of the music in Streets of Rage! o.O
Yes! Exactly made me want to do a Hoo-Hee-Hee with Skate.
Exactly.
I agree!
streets of rage music was more house oriented this was more techno style and this is actually called New beat while "instrumental Hiphouse" would perfectly describe the streets of rage music genre which was the kind of music that became more prevalent in the early 90's after hiphop became famous in the 80's
I can die now.
:47 my man on the left was killin it tho
yes, ye he was.
😂🤣😂🤣
Hell yeah he was . . . 🤣🤣🤣
Definitely the dancer with the most finesse out of all of 'em. Just look at him at 1:09 and compare him to the other two
What do you call that? The Scissor? 🤣
When my kids misbehave I tell them I'll play this full blast when I drop them off at school
🤣
Huuuuuge hit back in the days. Great memories. 3000 to 5000 ppl at the Boccaccio in Destelbergen, massive nights At The Villa in Kooigem, at Fifty Five in Kuurne, or under the Cherry Moon near Lokeren. Thanks for the vid' :) (btw there was a time when Electronic Music was easy, but now it's clean and heavy... vicious circle, feel like a replay)
The good old days !
Goeie herinneringen!
That video is fucking hilarious,talk about shit miming lol
Im so happy i was high when i found this
Happy ending.
but this is the guy from Kung Fury
TheItalodancers I think it's his dad
+Hydro Pump But it's 1989!
These guys appears to come from the little city/town of Deinze, not that far from Ghent in Belgium.
I'm not sure what the "best" part of this is: The music that sounds like you're being gunned down by a space mobster, the dancing like your uncle drunk at his ex-wife's second wedding, or the paradox caused by loud demands to enjoy a genre that is not currently being played?
If you were around when this appeared there was no such thing as "genre" just lots of mad tracks and lots of experimentimatation. Lots of tracks from around this time are the roots of the music you hear from the next 20 years. Can't really be doing with pretentious crap. What genre of food r u into at the mo?
Pizza. I've eaten pizza from a different place every day this week.
Or minmal or tech house or whatever.
Stuart Houghton I don't really want to call anything. I mostly listen to weird metal from Europe, or video game boss tracks. However, I concede that you have clearly put far more research, effort, and thought into my joke from 5 months ago than I ever did. :P
Didn't need to do any research was there in blackburn when this was being played 25 years ago ...
Rhythm Device is my new favorite device.
Why the fuck do I always come to this video when Im high as shit?! lmfao! it must be the awesome dance moves.
A Yank Abroad. Maybe you are into what Carlos Chaves calls. The fancy lads.
Techno seminal Masterpiece
NEW BEAT
fuck yeah . did i ever dance to this
Semenal.
@@ClarenceJBoddicker1987 semanal
The guy on the right at 3:09 = The Elvis of dabbing
Found this in my "watch later"....did NOT disappoint
Remember folks, there was a time that rock'n'roll was easy. Now it's clean and heavy! ;)
I absolutely love this video it is a moment in time and I don’t know about the miming even that adds to the lore but the dancing well that’s seals the deal ❤️🎼🎶🕺🏿
Ok, when is the big karate fight coming. Usually when this kinda music comes on, there's a huge karate fight.
I keep thinking the guy in the middle is gonna break out the Nunchucks, lol
Anybody still listening in this 2020
They are Legends❤️
This is the greatest video EVER MADE.
LONG LIVE NEW BEAT.
LONG LIVE ACID ROCK.
LONG LIVE CAPS LOCK.
This great, the dissonance between the performance and the malevolence of the track is awesome
That Streets of rage beat.
YES 👍
Meanwhile at the public toilets downtown.
I think the skipping rope move at 2:17 is boss. Need to see it more in clubs please.
I just discovered this song. It was addictive.
Wow watch out Prodigy... theres a new kid in town
lmfao!
Seeing how The Prodigy didn’t put out their first record until a year later...
early Prodigy was straight up rave though, and honestly the late '80s UK dance scene didn't sound THAT different...Liam's an innovator and modernized the sound well before anybody else.
LOLOLOL
@@aniym21000 I definitely hear what you are saying, but this is still hella goofy. ^_^
Reminds me of Deiter’s Dance Party with Mike Myers
Frank De Wulf was an AWESOME producer, this isn't an official video, they just used it for a dance routine!!
If the vid was of a crowd @ Biology or Sunrise, or an illegal warehouse rave back in 89, there would be a different response to this tune!!
This videoclip was recorded live at a showcase in the Cherry Moon dancing the Lokeren in early 1989 by Harry's Picture Film with participation of BASF. It is part of the HPF VHS videocassette (HPF 00489) containing also: Confetti's (3 tracks), Plastic Bertrand, Dow Jones, Kate B, B. Art, Tragic Error, Liaisons D., Hithouse and the video outtro Generique. Video title: This is the new style of music. House, Techno and New Beat.
Kenneth T. Wow I would love to see a full rip
Shouts out to Ant Knee Fantano
Did he talk about this?
Edit: found it. That guy never ceases to impress me.
Where?
Answer us!
@@MateusAuri v=Zd4SioCs6mQ
I don't care what anybody says; that lead dance guy is hot!
gay
gayyyyy
Surely. Still hot.
The homophobes are just jealous.
Wow , i gotta admitt its funny ,,lol this track though is fuckinggggggg hugeeeeeeeeeeeee for people like me that went to the thunderdome,,,man alive,,, haciender,,, blackburn raves,,, konspiracy,,,,so when i see this iam like ?????? Lollll crazy
3:10 they were already dabbing back in the days
OMG. I still remember the days i danced on this masterpiece . . I was in heaven . Years of musical heaven ..
I wish I could go back instantly..I remember all the feelings I had when listening to this .... my mind was blowing ...loved it
"They are ready , time to recommend this"
Fellow snydercut fam 😭
Jakby fani Big Fun trafili na koncert Iron Maiden ..😆 They look like Big Fun fans who went to an Iron Maiden concert and pretend to be metalheads.
New Beat 1989.. To było zabawne i dziwne.
They may looked like munters but the importance and huge influential aspect of this in the UK was one of the very first rave proper tracks that fuelled and propelled us to hardcore and rave. we had had a long slow transition to it and it was about to become bliss.. rave was born and so were many of us In the UK.
МУЖСКАЯ ТЕРРИТОРИЯ
I love how the lead singer color coordinates his bandanna and socks
And suspenders. 😁
@@pattynjan1 hahahha! yes! Thank you for bringing this amazing video back to me for another great laugh! Wow tons more views and thumbs up! LOL I still am not sure if they are serious or ironic. lol!
I just see these guys last night at the gym - they were still wearing the same thing
This was the tune back in the day in warehouse parties. Banging.
Yep from way back in the day, good times
I remember it from illegal warehouse parties uk
when europeans try to american
there are no words for how awesome this is.
Update: 14 years later still no words.
At least Belgium has amazingly good beer.
there not gay there just from 80s Germany
they're belgian, though.. but yeah, not gay... just typical surrealistic belgium.
Belgium, Lokeren,
the cherrymoon
gayer than 10 dicks touching
if this is what 80's Germania was actually like that would have been awesome
Why not both
The most serious gay artists I've ever seen...
*****loool
not true have you seen Billy Squier yet? ua-cam.com/video/ySfzJPthRoQ/v-deo.html
There was a time when new beat was easy, but now it's clean and heavy.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT invite me to the club unless we're doing this.
That's it. We're all going!
un de mes premiers disques 45 tours new beat achetés (un des meilleurs
aussi) mais aussi un nouveau style de musique qui va tout
déclencher/chambouler et faire connaître la new beat au delà de nos
frontières ... cocorico ... que de souvenirs :-)
le boccaccio ... entre autres :-) les sigles vw :-) les t shirts avec
des smileys :-) et alors la danse saccadée répétitive ... mes voisins me
détestaient car je passais cette musique en boucle et à fond ... avec
bien entendu les basses ... au maximum :-)
Fuck. Im on that side of UA-cam again
I can remember ravin to this in the quad in bootle but I wasn't dancing like that believe me!!!!!!
Dizzy Ed Ahh The Quad, mad nights, great tunes, friendly people....and sweat dripping from the ceiling onto your head haha
Don't tell lies. We all know that we all danced just like the hunky boys in the video.
This should have been in the turtles movie instead of shitty vanilla ice
I can’t start the day without watching this video =this song was class = but the video is something else it adds to the the legend = cult classic 🕺🏿🎶❤️🚾👌🥺
not sure what drugs they're on.. but ill have some too
That's even worse than 80s porn
I'm judging the tune based on the video... and it's FUCKING AWESOME!
“Hey, the label is going to fund a video!”
“Sweet! What’s the budget?”
“$250”
“Does that include wardrobe?”
“No.”
Y.M.C.A. goes acid punk.
Taylor was so real for mentioning acid rock (1989) on her 1989 album rerecording 😭
Did she sample this song?
@@nixam13 no but she mentioned acid rock in her new song: now that we don't talk
This is not what she was talking about
Techno dance moves are so much fun
This better be on the CYBERPUNK 2077 soundtrack
Oh hell, why not? I'm going to add this to my "cool" playlist!
Hm, sounds like they sampled a bit from Kraftwerk's "Music Non-stop" at 1:24
Lords Of Acid definitely owe something to these guys
Вот от кудава у Титомира ноги выросли))) ашипки спицальна!
I would have loved to bring this trio with to dance around me at clubs. Would have been hilarious.
If you liked this video you will LOVE the video to Fatal Error - Tanzen :D
Viva New Beat!!! A style that was created in Belgium and made a lot of great tracks! New beat come back!!
Made in a time that rock was easy
@@TRIX-wn2slbut now, it's clean and heavy!
Because of this comment I learned the genre “Belgian New Beat” so thank you
Cherry Moon opened in 1991....... there was on old Cafe-restaurant before
MOOOOORRRTAALL KOOMBAAAATTTT!!!!!!
jajajaja yeah man!
This guy probably personally knows the guys who did Mortal Kombat theme (Praga Khan and Olivier Adams). Both belonged to same Belgian Rave scene.
Pretty sure this has a pitched-down sample of Pete Burns from the intro of the "My Heart Goes Bang" remix.
At an old ballroom in Chapeltown in Leeds at the height of rave, this shook 2 floors and sounded fucking amazing.
The dancer on the left of the screen is genuinely talented. Seriously, that guy is going along with this song but making it look good the entire time. He flows so effortlessly. Absolutely amazing how good he can make this look
I mean clearly the whole thing is preposterous but I was just thinking the exact same thing! The comments section on this thing is pure gold!
@@albert341 Isn't it just. Having a bit of a heavy work day today so thought I needed some light entertainment. Acid Rock was my first choice to listen to and reading these comments is amazing. So much good shit under here
He is probably dead now
Agreed! He puts full extension into every motion, single-handedly making this video worth watching. He's dancing like he's auditioning for the role of a lifetime (for all we know, maybe he was). If so, I hope he got it!
I'm glad somebody else noticed lol
I remember when this video had very little views, and I was one of the original people to think it was cool. My kids won't return my calls
I did not know about New Beat ten years ago when you posted this video. Today I rec'd the vinyl for this track on my doorstep. I have been in love with New Beat because of UA-cam and videos like this. Thank you again for posting this!
It was a great scene. To walk into a club back then and hear stuff like this and other classics was something to behold. So happy you got to get ahold of it.
