- A "silent" music video for David Bowie and Mick Jagger's "Dancing in the Street."
By Strack Azar and Michael Stevantoni.
Voices by Oliver Zaciu and Michael Stevantoni. Bowie-scream by Keon Ali.
Years later, this is still one of my favorite videos EVER.
I'm telling all of this video's fans, it's okay! Be who you are. There are pride parades.
what's up Greg!
Me too😂
Exactly
Especially if someone flash mobs this during a protest...
I'll see you there.
I love how Bowie’s voice gets progressively more raspy as the video goes on
Did you mean rapey?
Yeah he's straight up ANGRY at the end. And his accent becomes more like a lower class Englishman.
@@smetupp05 yes?
mine also gets
just like his discography
When Bowie jumped and screamed I lost it hahaha
It's actually unfortunate that it is so early in the video because it is impossible to top.
1:06 was funny too.
1:58 you’re welcome...
Best jump scream ever 0:41
I raise you 2:12 ...
Love the fact that Bowie saw this and apparently he thought it was brilliant. When working on Blackstar, guitarist Ben Monder said David thought it was hilarious and made everyone watch it.
Unless this is not the original video, this was posted on January 12th 2016. Bowie died on the 10th of January 2016, and Blackstar was released on the 8th. I'd imagine it's true though since the Ben Monder story seems difficult to pull out of thin air, would be interesting to see where it first came from.
@@Schmedricks there was an older upload that was shorter he saw

Maybe it was the Mario Wienerroither one?
I love how that David Bowie impression devolved into a drunken sailor at the end
Favorite and funniest comment imo
Lmao
I mean... he struggled with alcoholism and he went by the screen name "sailor" on his BowieNet forum. So it kinda fits.
It's like two drunk mates making their way home from the pub. Bless them, this was probably one of the purest music videos made. Put together quickly, filmed and edited in hours, improvised on the spot. Pure class.
Its pure shite and embarrassing
It's a sure sign of a pre amble to a serious circle jerk. Concerning. Ward, wÖt got inta tha' Beaver last night..!!??
Nothin'
@@TurboMintyFresh Even with the music. I'll never understand what it was about this song that captivated boomers so much that everyone and their grandma covered it, but it's one of the most uncool songs ever
The whole point of this was to make the point of a seriously Escobar coked up trans incubation back in the 80s!
@@TurboMintyFreshits a horrible song lol
I'm in tears every time. He even added the soda can sound. Brilliant.
Should've had Jagger burp after he takes a swig.
The amount of time I've spent over the past 5 years thinking of this video is ludicrous
I keep feeling like the cops are going to show up any minute and arrest them.
It would have spared the world from having to see this
😂😂😂they probably did
For loitering, possession of a controlled substance, lewd acts in public, solicitation of prostitution. Tresspassing. Possession of a firearm without a permit.
yeah, i saw red/blue lights
at 0:56, there they are
I feel like David would adore this
Published two days too late. Might've given him a good sendoff
@@jitters665 He watches this in heaven
He actually had seen it and enjoyed it enough to share it with his close mates.
Really? That would be so cool. I love Bowie and I can imagine him cracking up.
@@mandywright2669 No, you're talking about the original, shorter version by Mario Wienerroither: ua-cam.com/video/_li_d_YviZ4/v-deo.html
it's like two drunk men making their way home from the pub...
I was thinking that as well...
Probably how it went down
..or the gay club.
Drunk or on cocaine
I'm pretty sure that's how the real video got made.
*I've no idea who this video is aimed at age-wise, but every now and then over the years, me and my dad (who is 81-years-old now), just sit and watch it, and laugh and laugh until we're both hurting and aching with laughing so hard. It's just so childish and yet one of the funniest things either of us has ever seen.*
*What makes it even funnier somehow, is that I've been a record producer for 30 years, and my dad is a retired Chief Superintendent from the Met police in London. Neither of us SHOULD find this video hilarious... but we just do! LOL. If it's not won some kind of award, it damn well should have. Absolutely brilliant!*
Watching this and imagining you and your 81 year old police dad laughing hysterically has me laughing hysterically too 😂
Why shouldn't you find it hilarious?
@@conniediaz6456 because it’s a stupid-type of silly video
He was bein rhetorical I think-
So, you're saying that when watching this, he's a laughing policeman? Ho-ho-ho, he-he-he!
I've also heard that record producers and Chief Superintendents from the Met police are supposed to stick to specific criteria in regard to humour.
This is what the rest of the world hears when I’m singing with my headphones in...
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen! The foot shuffling sounds really bring it home.
And the panting 😂
And the crickets....
I will never keep a straight face when I'll see the original again. I lost it when Bowie is facing the wall and goes "Burrrrrrrr" with both hands in the air.... Brilliant! 😂
Were you able to keep a straight face before? I mean, this is funny as hell but the original is worse. So much worse.
I freakin' lost it at that part🤣😂😂
Seriously 😅😅 it gets me Everytime
That is also the part where I can’t contain my laughter! 😂
YEEEESSSS LOL!!! "GRRRRR👹" hahahah!
This is one of the finest pieces of work on the entire Internet.
No it's not because it's just a cheap ripoff of the original musicless video by
Mario Wienerroither (the one with half has many views).
@@gregor1O1 Maybe a bit like how "Queen Bitch" and "It's No Game" swiped the riff and a line from Eddie Cochran's "3 Steps to Heaven", and some people don't know it, others think Ronson/Bowie improved or added to it, and still others like Cochran better, or neither, or both.
Your negation of this one does not promote the other; people will probably not be influenced to watch the other just to equalise views. Venture to guess David's "Wild is the Wind" made more money than the original by Nina Simone, but that doesn't mean his should be disparaged, or that there weren't people who went and bought a Nina Simone record after hearing Station to Station.
etc.
I just saw this for the first time. I don't know how this isn't the most popular video in the world. I'm crying.
I agree !!! I watch it almost everyday and never get tired of it
This has 9 times more views than the original music video.
Does that make this the original music video?
Not sure if this makes me very happy or very sad
Good.
Epic!
this is the original
I am three years late to this party, this is one of all time best youtube videos. Ever.
Ever!! Lol.
I’m so sad I missed it
Director - 'We filmed this fifty times, and THIS was the best take!'
I knew that was the real verson before adding the soundtrack to make this video.
It’s like that night out you remember as the greatest ever, but this is what everyone else saw because you were so off your face.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen! The foot shuffling sounds really bring it home.
Crickets, owls and very distant sirens. I guess that is the typical street of Chicago.
find the one for footloose. THAT. yeah.
Mick Jagger's moves are ridiculous but you'd never notice during the actual song.
That takes commitment as a performer. It's great.
It's like two drunk best friends staying up way too late and running around being idiots together. I love it. 🤣
Haha!
Yea 2 gay best friends...If I had to dance down a street in Glasgow with a friend like that we would be executed on the spot...😂
with dreams of making a band together
What do you mean “it’s like”
Some had reposted this at one point and entitled it something like “Two drunk lesbians walking home from a bar early one morning” or something along those lines. Lol
I love how this dude only has one video one youtube, why ever do another after this. Dude earned a house in Belle Aire with this effort.
For sure! I love how he just uploaded this video, then leaned back and said, "My work is done."
Classic comedy gold!
Obviously he can't top this one.. so he might as well stop right there
He deserves a BAFTA for comedy. It's fucking priceless 😂
Yes for sure, This seems to have been done professionally, t took a few people and some resources to put it together.
He didn't just fake in the voices and add in some effects, there's a lot of real foley work, nuanced sound mixing and careful experienced sound editing.
This wasn't just put together on an iPhone. 📱
This is mental. I love how despite Jagger putting in SO much physical energy his voice doesn't make it past a raspy whisper.
"All you need is music"
You can say that again...
Dang cringy but funny even without the sound of a beat these two know how to make music without the sound just there voices I cherish the moments when the drums and guitars and intrusments drop volume to hear there voices
Midnight-Blue766 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I do love a bit of irony 😂
Your comment makes me feel very confident 😎
this is beautiful. i love how the acoustics change as they move from inside to outside.
You realize this is probably exactly what this whole thing sounded like while they were recording the footage for the video, and before they added the track.
no its only you
Crossed my mind immediately.
@Simon Nielsen must have been hilarious for the film crew, nonetheless.
@@Cheesesalad That's whole point of the vid
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh I miss this youtube, Thank goodness these sweet years of such uploads are forever immortalized.
The crickets make it perfect.
...and the distant sirens, gunshots and people screaming.
There was no crickets. Until you mentioned crickets, then there's chuffing crickets everywhere 😂😂😂
@@keithcampbell6632 Mandela Effect?! 🤯
@@janecook5901 could very well be!
@@keithcampbell6632 same for me hahaha 😂😂
It really does come off like some random bystander observed Mick Jagger and David Bowie getting hammered and then followed them around with a camera as they wandered the abandoned side of town with the same song stuck in their head.
I literally could not contain myself the first time i saw this. The "back in the USSR!" still gets me every time. I watch this everyday, this is the best video, period.
It’s still one of the greatest videos on UA-cam, and it always will be. It’s a shame only 10 million people out of 8 billion have gotten to experience it.
there are only two kinds of ppl on this planet: those have, and those who haven't.
The original musicless video for this song by Mario Wienerroither is better. It's a shame most people have only watched this cheap ripoff.
Thanks, Danny...
PaymoneyWubby amen to that brother.
He sent you guys here too?
avery c Yup, and he won't let us leave
NSP should do something like this it'd be funny
Ayyyy
First it was hilarious, but then it started to make me uncomfortable, but then it was hilarious again.
...and then you suddenly lost interest?
Buu Boo!
Noisyturtle why uncomfortable?
OMG same!!
Presently in a hiatus of uncomfortable with this, hopefully it will clear soon and move back to hilarious once again.
2:38 gunshots and screams broke me.
The Pweeeeewww! sound is a gun bullet ricochet.
Comedy gold.
@Jesus Christ Good god, have you been sleeping underneath a rock for the last almost 2000 years or what?
Watching this is a form of therapy for me😂🤣 I love this so much. The offkeyness and David’s scream just give me life
Actually had to catch my breath after laughing so hard at this. The voices were totally unexpected yet perfect and perfectly silly. Then I was surprised by the crickets. Then the gunshots. Then the grunting. This is a masterpiece. A strange, bizarre masterpiece!
You guys are BRILLIANT, you both paid attention to every detail.Ive been crying watching this.
me tooooooo! Ive watched it sooo many times, the tears!!! hahahahha this should be Viral! Soooo funny! best bit @1.41 hahahah cant stop watching :D
I came here from Stevie T's channel just to watch this completely. This is hilarious. They're look like drunk people going home. 😆🤣
Lol
looking for this comment before it blows up XD
lol same
Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What video is it
Highlights:
0:07 The madness begins
0:17 Jagger's arrival
0:37 Bowie arrives
0:40 "Dancing-*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-* "
1:06 *"ÆOUGH"*
1:55 "Back in the USSRRRRRRRRRRR"
2:15 "BurrrrrRRRRRRRRR
2:37 Bowie's transformation is complete
Lol!..you beat me to it...I was going to make one too🤣🤣🤣
@@bune.trails6448 lol
Thank you! I pressed 1:06 repeatedly.
😆
@@mikescan7050same lad
0:37 Bowie's tone is light
2:15 Bowie summons agressive tone
2:37 Complete transformation, amazing attention to detail
You're right! For however comical this looks, Bowie is noticeably professional. I noticed he's singing with his English accent here, too, but not in the song.
100% correct...
He went irish
And he sounds like Murdoc from Gorillaz...(aka Phil Cornwell)
Lmfao damn
I... I have no words. This is the greatest video on the internet, and I think this is where humanity peaks.
Dear God,
Thank you for the internet.
Amen.
Amen❤️

@@mulletsquirrel God created man. Man creates the internet.
@@Brandywine53 unlikely
All these years later and im still watching this crying with laughter. This will never not be funny 😂
Believe it or not, the sound recording does this video justice. When they are out in the open, it SOUNDS like it. When they are close the sound is accurate. Very smart editing... OH and I was tearing up and sweating from laughing so hard.
the cop sirens, crickets and various animal sounds in the background really had me rolling! bwahaha
It was funny when you hear the gun shots, then screaming.
Omg yaaa best but classic 🤪🎶
lol That’s gold but I meant bit 😂
The voice they gave Mick Jagger has me in tears!!!!
Especially the very beginning!
Oh I can't stand it, it's too good.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was in tears! And 1:56 "Back in the "U.S.S.R!" LMAO!
@@lisalisa13greenI’d just composed myself then I found your comment and I’m off again, every thing he sings has me in hysterics 😂
I love how this channel dropped one of the greatest videos I've ever seen and then just vanished forever.
everybody can stop now. This guy just completely won the internet
+dmh091 LOL it's a figure of speech basically saying that no one can top this it was a compliment
It started out as a figure of speech but now. . . you must be stopped.
Dermot Moriarty
Give it your best shot ;)
That's racist AF.
+Dermot Moriarty what in the world are you talking about man
So we're not gonna talk about that sound that Mick Jagger makes at 1:05
Æoūğhh
Hahahaah
I feel like they made this as a troll video before teolling was a thing. Classic
🤣🤣🤣
I would but I have no idea how to spell it.
Someone deserves a Nobel peace prize for this level of genius..... and a Geneva Convention for the directors of the original video.
stupid
Congratz on making something even more unsettling than the original.
there should be some award for this.
You commenting on here is reward enough!
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
On the nose
Omg - owls, crickets, police care sirens, gun shots and a girl screaming - brilliant.
Somehow, I’d never seen this before today. At first, I thought it was silly, but when it cut to the outside shot with the ambient sounds of the outdoors… oh, I just about died. Audio editing is on freaking point.
Mick's turkey gobble at 1:04 may be the single funniest moment on youtube.
LMAOOO
Have to agree gets me everytime 😂😂😂
I don’t know…2:12 gets me every single time.
1:42 ‘’PHILADELPHIA P A! “ 👏🏻👏🏻
This is one of the best shreds!! I'm in pain from laughing so hard. The crickets are louder than the singing.
The crickets make this even better! And even the sound of his shuffling in the beginning!
Virtually the only detail I would add would be the sounds of David Bowie crawling around the floor at 1:57.
Laughing out loud
Good spotting, yeah that would be awesome :)
The silence there also kinda adds to the amazing USSR moment 😂
Lol! That and mic making that annoying "ahhh" sound after drinking from the can he picks up😂
This is amazing and should be treasured for all eternity.
2:13 Bowie's spirit hands with the slow monster growl is just incredible. Hu-freakin-larious. I've watched it 5 times now and I laugh every time!
swampwitch5 UHHHHHHHAHAHAAAAAAAAA
DONCING IN THE STREET
I do not get the growl at that part...…….
so fuckin funny lmao
Jagger’s startled “Oh woah” when their faces get close kills me every time.😝
This gave me a stroke. I am all out of laughs and feeling along my entire right side.
Lol .
I thought it was the left side
My UA-cam favourites are the ancient relic channels, the ones that have uploaded like, 10 videos max, and have a relatively measly amount of followers, but have 1 or 2 videos that just absolutely blew up but never prompted anything further. The diamonds in the rough, the gems amongst manure. These are the dinosaur bones of our digital era.
Been a huge Bowie fan for years, and I like to imagine this is exactly how filming this went down. I mean... they did do the whole thing in a day...
I can not stop watching this. It's the funniest fucking thing I've seen in years. ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!! 😂
Agreed.
Yes haha!
Almost as cringworthy as David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "LIttle Drummer Boy". I remember watching both of these World Premiere's back in the day going WTF?
This is incredibly funny, but also shows how you can spend virtually nothing on a music video and still be so timeless and effective. This brings back so many memories of my teenage years. We miss you David 🙏
I love it. Back in the day, whenever this music video came on, I'd immediately change the channel...lol.
That scream by Bowie though....
This is absolutely fucking priceless.
Keep coming back to this whenever I hear a song by either of them. Brilliant. Love the crickets outside
Bowie descending into screaming surprise attack mode was about the time when I lost it! 😂😂😂
0:40
I lost it there, and simply didn’t regain it lol
0:17 for me!😂...I was still confused waiting for music 🤣
Hahah I’ve been looking for this video for the longest time! It’s still one of my favorites ever
After all these years, I only just understood this video. So Bowie was sleeping, Jagger called him up to go dancing, and Bowie in his haste only had time to throw a trench-coat over the top of his PJ's.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been watching this for years, still the greatest creation ever!!!
I NEVER want to hear the actual song, this shall remain my only knowledge of it
The original song is actually really catchy.
just like how I never heard much too late for goodbyes only the parody exists as far as I know
Please do hear the original its great
But this parody is evsn greater
same here
this version is an improvement trust me.
Just came back after a year, and it STILL never fails to give me the most fun case of the giggles.
Such a simple concept, but executed to perfection, which makes it genius comedy.
This was playing over the speakers at work and my manager stopped me and my other coworker and was like “ yo you guys need to see this, this is the funniest shit” and that made my night
This is an accurate representation of what it's like to shoot a music video ;p.
Well to be honest usually there's a backing track they're singing to.
On the Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD extras they show filming the time warp and it's exactly like this.
***** I'm just saying usually there's a backing track to help them sync things up. Sometimes depending upon the effect they're going for they'll slow things to half speed (just look up the making of Primus's Winona's Big Brown Beaver video).
I can confirm Graham is right, you need the back up track to sync up the audio waves
One time in Europe in 1989 we saw this hair metal band shooting a video with one camera along the waterfront. The drummer would drum flamboyantly when the camera was pointing at him. Then he would just do nothing when the camera panned away from him.
"Guys. The record company gave us only $37 dollars to film the video. So let's do what we can, enkay?"
Please make another one this good! More British singers, please! Something about that accent with the voices that sound like a balloon losing air.....that's just the most brilliant thing I've ever seen!
The dude in the green shirt has got the moves like Jagger!
you know, the guy in the jacket looks familiar too!
@@johnqsample5119 yeah is that major tom?
@@skinnypickle1863 No, that is Mick Jaggers lover.
I wonder why
My younger child just came out to my study and said, "Excuse me, Mum, but some people who *aren't* laughing like maniacs are trying to get to sleep".
LOLOLOLOLOL!
Loooooooool
And then everyone clapped. The child's name? Albert Einstein.
Omg 😂
sc r/thathappened
This is everything. It’s been a couple years since I’d seen it, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find it again 😂
Everything?
This is the number one video on UA-cam. Always has been. Always will be.
This is the best one by far. Of all the musicless music videos. I love that it's not their voices like the other ones because the singing being out of breath and off tune KILLS ME!
this is beautiful. i love how the acoustics change as they move from inside to outside.
Thanks, Danny...
This it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen‼️ I love you whoever did this. When they're outside and they see each other their shocked, sirens outside was there really a pop/soda in the original? IDK the gunshot. I heard Bowie thought this was so funny that he made everybody watch it who knows what Jagger thought I can't take it 😂😂😂😂😂
I remember watching this a million times with my dad! This is the most underrated legend I've seen
This has really nice foley, sound effects / design and mixing plus some pretty good lip-sync ADR performances.
The realness of that makes it dead-piss funny. Best for me? The really literal perspectives, like when they cut back outside and we barely hear them on the wide shot.
The raspberry at the start!
Dead-Piss Funny? That cannot be a real phrase! 🤦 Come on now, really? It doesn't even make any sense!
Great observation on the wide shot! Makes me enjoy it more.
The city sounds too haha
For some reason the distant sirens and the crickets do it for me...
1:06 is one of the internet's greatest moments
I lost it on that part of the video.
I vote for 0:17 - 0:32🤣
*ÆOUGH*
Came here for a good laugh, remembering this video. Never disappoints, even years after!
I ALREADY thought this video was hysterical...but you made it funnier.
Holy crap I can’t believe I only just found out about this now.
Let me guess. From Stevie t?
@@lasagnasux4934 Yes. Somehow it eluded me before. Lol
Incredible work on the feet shuffling sounds!
Absolutely hilarious, one of the best yet, when Mick leaps out of that dooway croacking 'Don't forget
the Motor City' I nearly died laughing.
Do not, I repeat do NOT........Drink any hot drink watching this!! THIS is what I was doing when I innocently pressed play the first time I watched it..........I actually didn't realise it was a pi$$take till about 20 seconds in (thought the sound was a bit off!!).......................I literally spat my coffee out of my mouth & nearly choked!!!
This is genius 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 how have I not seen this!!!!❤ you flipping superstar, I haven't been able to laugh for real since Christmas, I love you for this 😅❤❤❤.
You win the internet today. maybe this year.
yeah i know i'v just found it too.
I year ago you posted this comment. Only just seeing this now. Can confirm, won the internet for the year.
Well, I was just looking for the music video and clicked this without fully reading the title.
AWESOME surprise.
