I truly mis the 80s and I'm also 57 those we're the Year's Good music and super fun nothing like now day's. love these guy's and many more straight funk most definitely Legendary 🎶🎵🎼🎶❤️😘❤️
I'm 54 and man I had so much fun back then. We used to go to our skating rink, Skate King, and walk around listening to music and talking to girls. Everybody was having fun back then. A few fights but No shootings! I miss those days and I miss some of the people that have passed away.
In the 80s we didn't listen to the radio when we were at home. We watched MTV. When I "saw" this song for the first time, it blew me way. It still does almost 40 years later...
I used to take my kids to school and when they misbehaved, I'd blast the song in my car stereo as punishment in front of the school, it worked a few times but then ,when I'd wake ⏰ up to take them they were already gone..... lmao 😝
@@davidleebls1874 Er, I'm Irish ancestry, no way am I fucking waving to the British Royal family. You realise their ancestor Queen Victoria caused the deaths of 1 million Irish people in the 1840's right? They had a famine and she decided to let them all starve to death, despite having plenty of money and food to send them. She's as evil as Adolf Hitler.
This was a magical time to be alive. There were no rules/expectations for music videos. Just artists working with a new medium. Some stuff worked, some didn't. The growing pains were obvious, but a true joy to witness.
This year is nearly over. It's a bit late, but suddenly I feel the urge to organize a discoparty with only the hits from the 80's and 90's....on new years eve!!🎉🎉🎉 This song is to me one of the classics. The video kills me too, every time I watch...😂
@distortionpedal-How is that possible, it is in pop culture!!!! That would be like me saying I have never heard-Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi..... Still plays on radio today, on music channels/TV documentaries, shopping centres, family parties, I last heard it when a guy at traffic lights had it blaring out his car!!!!
The black, techno sound was the shit back when I was a young teen. I was 13 in '86 and I remember this dominating the airwaves. Times were so much simpler and even though I grew up in the hood, my childhood was pretty damn good.
There's enough Funk energy in this video to power the planet for the next 2,000 years. And Cameo proves what Superman knew all along: a real badass wears red underpants outside blue tights.
True. It's sad that we don't possess the materials strong enough to harness all that funky power. Fortunately, this funk's power is so strong that it doesn't dissipate. One day. ONE DAY!!!
I had already become a Metalhead by 1984 and I have always loved this song. Still do. One of the best songs of all-time. It's impossible to not love it.
WORD UP...I have never heard of Cameo or this song til today. I watched a doctor/comedian on Dry Bar who mentioned it being his ring tone. I was curious so I looked on UA-cam and found this video. I'm 71 years old and LOVE the song, the dance moves, everything. I couldn't help myself...I had to get and dance around the room. And to think I was listening to Country Music in the 80's. I have some catching up to do...80's music, here I come.😎
Oh, I was gonna say, where were you?, I'm 69 in couple months, maybe you in a way outback town with just enough reception for a local Country Radio station and no television lol
@@rustywastakenwastaken It's the best in regards to fashion and music. That's just me. Yeah, the AIDS epidemic and politics during the 80s, not so great.
The tune does remind me of one or two late 60s favourites,such as Stevie Wonder's I Was Made to Love Her,somehow,and the whistling synth motif evokes Spaghetti Westerns to me thanks to the late Ennio Moricone,but it's still awesome.
My favorite thing ever just happened at church this past Saturday. The pastor was SUPER deep with messages and a guy from the very back yelled “WORDDDD UPP!!!!!!!” Hahhahahahahahaaaa

@@kats938 idk folks rocking SPs and MPCs are pretty talented, idk what was available when this song dropped, but that makes it even more impressive imo
@@jaydeebee69 I woke up saying "all the pretty ladies around the world" my wife looked at me and ask "What was you dreaming about for you to wake up singing"
Is that Levar Burton? I met him twice at Disney World. He had 2 boys the same age. My little one accidentally crashed into each other. My son helped him up and then hugged Mr. Burton saying “ Reading Rainbow “! He was really nice.
I rarely see un-caring people with airborne hands. Cameo and others have mentioned this for decades. Just because someones hand is elevated it doesn't necessarily mean they dont care. Trust me, 3 restraining orders.
lol I feel so bad for the people from the 70s and 80s. Yall can’t get it back. They had the best music of all time. Pop, punk, soul, metal, reggae, r&b, funk, disco, and countless other small experimental genres
This song needs a warning label. "Warning: Contains dangerous levels of funk."
For real! It causes uncontrollable body movement.

40 Years later and still FUNKY!
This song is so ahead of its time that Lt. Commander La Forge had to witness it in person.
He was pretty engaged too. 😅
Nah he read it in a book, on Reading Rainbow, sadly folks don’t read anymore.
😂 I love it! 🏆
@lelandgaunt9985 Yeah. Just saw his family tree featured on "Finding Your Roots." Phenomenal. 🎉
@MindRegulatorMusic Well he was Kunta Kinte.
There are many places where it's still illegal to be this funky.

Absolutely 💯, and change %...
Cameo is more confident than any gangsta rapper with that cod piece on.
No romance, no romance, no romance for me
It's about time the cod piece enjoyed a mainstream fashion revival :)
And on top of that they made music worth listening to 👍
@@nickdavison9771 and spray on pants.

This song is one of the funkiest pieces of music ever conceived.

Just the greatest! I used to crank this up all the time.😁

Infinity Train fans unite!
This song is so goddamn funky, but add in the bizarreness of the video, and it just becomes timeless legendary.
I like how he's calling out "sucker DJs" wearing a codpiece. That's my favorite part of all of this insanity.
What a power move
Well he's right about not puttin on airs I guess lmao
I think he was calling out hip hop artists that always diss each other which is ironic because hip hop artists love sampling his music.
@@kats938 idk folks rocking SPs and MPCs are pretty talented, idk what was available when this song dropped, but that makes it even more impressive imo
He had to do it to em so they can stop actin out of pocket.
LOVE THAT SONG
...till the end of my life.
lol
I woke up this morning with this song in my head and haven't heard it in years..
I have crazy shit like that happen all the time lol
Hey it could have been something really bad.
Feel good day bro
Me too!
This happens to me frequently. I'll be minding my own business and suddenly my brain's like DO YOUR DANCE DO YOUR DANCE DO YOUR DANCE QUICK
@@jaydeebee69 I woke up saying "all the pretty ladies around the world" my wife looked at me and ask "What was you dreaming about for you to wake up singing"
Is that Levar Burton? I met him twice at Disney World. He had 2 boys the same age. My little one accidentally crashed into each other. My son helped him up and then hugged Mr. Burton saying “ Reading Rainbow “! He was really nice.
THIS FUNK MUSIC NEEDS TO COME BACK!!!
Start a petition to get Drake to make funk music 🤣🤣🤣
I have tons of Funk CDs from the 70's & 80's. This is one of my faves!
LeVar Burton and the cops really make this even more fun
A Lavar Burton Cameo cameo.
Back when we old-timers listened to radio stations, Cameo hits were the ones that would rescue us from 35 minutes of commercials and bad songs.
And I would not have changed it for the world take me back please asap
There were literally only like 2 bad songs in the '80s. 🤨
terrific funk tune
I’m 47 but have my heart glued to the 80s
One of the best music decades I ❤️ the 80's!!!
I'm olny 15 but love the 80s
Same!
I'm only here for this " put your haaands in the air like you dont caare"
Tarantoz haha yeh i wish he said that line more often 😂
Tarantoz same
Tarantoz no
I rarely see un-caring people with airborne hands. Cameo and others have mentioned this for decades. Just because someones hand is elevated it doesn't necessarily mean they dont care. Trust me, 3 restraining orders.
"Captain! The ship can't handle this level of 80's per second. She's gonna blow! "
I luv it with humor.,,.
Listening to this made me grow a eighties style mullet.
You know Geordi is keeping the 80s alive and well in some kind of inverse ionic Containment Field.
at 4 minutes & three seconds in, when Geordie sees the curves of a Romulan "sputnik"...
Captain! We're about to have a breech of 80s funk! The engines can't take it!
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS TO EVER COME OUT OF THE 80S BY FAR!!!!!!!!
The simplicity of the bass drum combined with the bass line is devastating. Amazing song in every aspect. Wow
Currently dying because I used to dance to this in the teen club as a kid and now I'm trying not to hurt myself dancing to it in the grocery store. 😂
😹🛒🩻💃👍🏿🕺🏿👩🏼🦽👯🎟🍌🎵
I love this comment soo much!! 😂 Now if I hear this song playing in a store I'll be thinking of you and laughing to myself! 😅
just keep your hands in the air where they can be seen...don't let kids under your skin, don't let those kids get mean
I think one of the true signs of being an adult is when you start to wonder when the music in the grocery store got so good.
I hear u lady ❣️🇦🇺💃🕺
Great song! The '80s were certainly a decade like none other!
True
It's my go to when I feel like given up song
This song is so amazing!! So underrated in my opinion. ❤️
It is 🔥🔥🔥
If I had a Bluetooth speaker right now I’ll be playing this music so loud
Who’s still listening to this during Coronavirus pandemic?
Actually just found out about it.
Yup!
I've got a fever.. and the only prescription is listening to cameo
I can't decide between this and Korn version. :D
@@mihaialic
Try the Gun version.
It’s impossible not to dance when you hear this song!
Yes it is, it is possible
No it isn’t, it’s impossible
Korn version is much better
Prince_ OfDarkness23 actually check out little mix’s version
@@ShrimpyWimpy666 eh
lol I feel so bad for the people from the 70s and 80s. Yall can’t get it back. They had the best music of all time.
Pop, punk, soul, metal, reggae, r&b, funk, disco, and countless other small experimental genres
Released in 1986 and still as fresh sounded now. Never has wearing a red cod piece looked cooler
It was all go in the 80s....
