I played this for my brother Boo years ago as a thank you for saving my life, from keeping me from trouble. My life turned out so much better than the road I was heading. As I bury him tomorrow, I’m so glad I found this song. He was my on personal superhero. I love you forever & ever Boo-Boo. 😭😇
Oh Wowwwwww Brenda Wanzer This song has been stuck in my head for a bit now. Could not find it bc did not know title. All of a sudden the title pops up in my head. Just Now. As I listen I think about my little bro. Then think of.my big brother who is gone and us siblings barely speak anymore [not bc I didnt try....A Lot]. So I read comments and see your comment......and I had to bury my bro. He was a protector. And No Lie !!! His nickname was BooBoo. Again I say Wow! Every song that was popular then would debilitate me. I pray for you and your family at this time. : ' (
Love the esthetics of this video - very 80's; fun, colorful and creative. The art direction is amazing, casting is fantasic and wardrobe design is on point. A great example to reference the decade's style. And kudos to Nolan Thomas, music producers, etc for making a classic 80's pop song endure.
This song will forever be on my internal play list...I cannot say "Yo" without busting into song. Having an "experimental little sister" back in the day, this song hit hard. Still can't sit still when I listen to it...and I'll be 52 this summer! Long live the 80's!!!
Yes. :) All this kids later formed the band The Vid Kids. Look up the video "Matt Lauer with Stu Sleppin, Director & Bob Teeman, Producer with The Vid Kids on PM Magazine". You'll probably like it.
I was only 12 years when this song came out. At the time we had a black radio station at the time.But it only lasted two years. So sad.KCAJ FM96 in my hometown El Dorado, Arkansas.

I hung out with the little brother in Brooklyn back in the day. He was a nice kid, no ego because he was in a music video. I wish I could remember his name though. If anyone knows please let me know.
Sitting here about to get ready to go to work soon…and this song just pops in my head….I remember watching t I is video at all of 14 years old…definitely a part of my memories growing up!!!! 80’s music maaaaaan!!!!
I remember when my mom sent me to bed early one night. I was mad, because I heard this song playing; but it was bed time so I was never able to see the video until now.....Thanks Unidisc Music and You tube!!!
Sum one at work Sade to me the other day, yo little brother and this song just popped in my head. I had totally forgotten about it. Went into my archives of music and haven’t stop playing it since. If I could only go back to those days I do it in a heartbeat !!! The music back then an freestyle was the shit.. 💿📻🔊
Wow I remember this song like it was yesterday i was 16 when this song came out I'm so happy and fortunate to spend my teens years I. The 80s they were the best time of my life I lived in NYC so that was some awesome years
As the oldest with two younger brothers. The one right under me was born ‘78. He was under 5 I believe around 3/4?when this came out. That’s the one I relate this song to as the little brother in this video I can relate as he got older. The other one was born in ‘82 I often say to him “you lil brother whatcha out here tryna discover “ he is clueless as to why I ask. Hence the reason I’m here lmbo every time he forgets I resend this song to him 😂 6/13/24
I was a teenager when this came out. Now at 58, I was having a flashback about seeing this video, but couldn’t remember the name of the song and who sand it. Thank goodness for Google, I typed “music video that had kids as billy idol cindy lauper prince bruce springsteen” and saw the name Nolan Thomas. I knew I didn’t image this video. Thank you to who uploaded this video.
Wow!!! haven't heard this song in over 30 years. The video is kinda cheesy but I love the message in the song. I have a younger brother myself so it kinda hits home. You always want to protect them no matter how old they get. Great job Mr. Thomas.
not to seem like a class A-Cornball. but, am i the only one, that sees a very deep/ touching message in the song (& video storyline)? although, yes. at 1st glance, this video appears to be kind of a tongue in cheek styled-humor. but, this was orig. produced; at a time, when the youth (of that era) might, easily, be put back on the right path.. by, very concerned family members, determined "NOT" to let their younger fam. members be casualties of the streets! this is extremely timely, now. especially, as feeling alone (& w/o any strong male influence/ role model present, in minority homes) is the #1 catalyst for crime, gang involvement, drug use, & (pre-)teen age pregnancy. somehow, i think that we'd all be much happier if families were more responsible for their offspring/ members. ;)
Scotty P I agree, Scotty. Those of us that were born in the seventies, know the joy of experiencing an era where everyone listened to all genres of music.
It's funny how this video has this over the top popcorn feel to it - but when this song was on the radio in the 80s in NYC, man it was funky dark cautionary tale - nothing felt remotely popcorn about it at all at the time.
"What you out there trying to discover" 😄YES I know my Black people are afraid of our youth today but hey I pray to God that Lord will touch your Hearts enough for you to give our youth some good advice a hug or handshake just to let them know YES your Generation♥️ has it rough but you care about them and things will work out..I gave one a hug today I haven't seen him in awhile at his usual spot..I was happy to see he was well and Alive...♥️LOVE♥️ show it Y'all♥️ Good Music♥️
The kids of today don’t know the struggle of past days. If you didn’t buy the single, record it on tape or vhs it was gone when the song went of the air. Thanks to UA-cam, Spotify etc.. i can now relive my past glory days.
Loved this video and song. It was like he was singing about me! This was around the time crack came out and we needed all the psa’s we could get! This video is up there with the pee wee jerman crack commercial!! 80’s baby!!!
80's, the best decade ever!!!! When the life was more simple, happy and funny!
Cheers from Italy
Oh my Lord thank you thank you for finding this song I've had it in my head for 40 years
If you're listening to this now and you were there enjoying it in the 80es...big thumbs up to you!
2020 here
2020
2020 and beyond bro 💯
mann this was the song.. sadly i felt like the lil brother lol..
Thank you.Can't believe all this time has gone by.I can't believe I survived all these years.Barely,but I'm still here alive & kicking.
One of the best songs I heard back in the 80s,it has such a positive message
It has been YEARS since I've heard this song, it just popped into my head, wow!!!! YEARS!!!
Same here on 5/15/24...and I'm today years old (52 years) realizing the singer is white.😮

In the 80s I was a child and these songs bring me nostalgia. And remembering is living again ಠಿ😃ಠ♬♫♪
Yes
@@rashawnbanks148Amen to that 🙏❤️
Child? We came out grown like the little rascals.
I remember when Kool DJ Red Alert cutting this jam up in his 98.7 Kiss FM Mastermix set when this came out!!
Yessss!!!
Another good jam from back in the days. Jammin on the roller skates to this

It's been almost 32 years since I've seen this video. Now that was when music was so much better to enjoy.
MrAntiSellOut Music today sucks
Really? Lolol this song is just as bad as the bullshit rap today. You people act like shitty simple music just came out. Lol
I love this SONG. ANYONE DISSES THIS SONG BETTER BE QUIET. THIS SONG BRINGS OUT A VERY GOOD MESSAGE.
I want my MTV
@@00tonytone This looks like a NBC Friday Night Videos or late-night TBS Night Tracks video. Definitely 80s.
The 80's were fun and I have a little brother. This brings back memories. My little brother was wild.
This music video is really good! ❤
I Loved this song when I was just a kid and this is the first time seeing this video.
Wow😮, Frickin wow!
Talking about taking someone back
That’s thirty five years ago for me and I’m now 52!! Lol
This song will forever be on my internal play list...I cannot say "Yo" without busting into song. Having an "experimental little sister" back in the day, this song hit hard. Still can't sit still when I listen to it...and I'll be 52 this summer! Long live the 80's!!!
God bless Friday Night Videos where I 1st heard this awesome song!
MFRM Citysouth #CANDYSHANNON
That song was was the bomb when I used to listen it in the Funhouse
The little Ric Ocasik, Bruce Springsteen, Prince and Cindi Lauper were adorable.
What about Billy Idol?
Is that who the little blonde boy is supposed to be?
I never knew Billy Idol to be a break dancer.
Yes. :) All this kids later formed the band The Vid Kids. Look up the video "Matt Lauer with Stu Sleppin, Director & Bob Teeman, Producer with The Vid Kids on PM Magazine". You'll probably like it.
They also made the song The Vid Kids - Vid Kid Kid with a television appearance that is also on UA-cam.
This was the shit back in the day…brings back memories of a better time 💯
Brings back great memories to match a great song.
Wow memories. 🤩🌇🎡🚈
This. Was. My. SHIT back in 1984!!!
Oooo Yeah!!
This song reminds me of my baby brother. Doing everything a little bro is not supposed to do. RIP little brother.
Me too. Rip markie
Bless you ❤
Hugs 😢😢😢😢
Wow this brings me back to better days

W.k.t.u. hot tracks on Friday night in 1982!
NYC Hip Hop culture here will never be defeated 80s can't be touched
I bought the 45 back in 1984. Used to hear it on KISS-FM.

Maybe that's why I thought it was a black song.
lol I thought that I was the only one who had the 45.
I still have my KISS card!
My goodness, haven't heard this in years & it's still better than most of the crap out today. I was 9/10
Omg! I'm glad that you bought back the 80's what great memories.
I lost it when little brother jumped in his arms 😭❤️✊🏾
😂😂😂😭😭😭

At 52 hearing this digs deep in my mind to when I was 13-14 again, the little brother, even wearing the spikes 🤣💯🔥🔥🔥
Can’t seem to stop listening to this song....😎
This came out when I was 10! Classic!
Oh yeah New York Hot Tracks
My Nephew's inspirational song! Mario is always looking after his little brother, Johnny Ringo.

MAAANNNN!!..I remember seein this as a kid!..Tha chorus always stayed in my mind for some reason..Been lookin for this forever!..😀😀👍👍👍
I'm an 80s fan and this is my first time seeing this video. I love these little 80s polaroids.
2:02 it's amazing the megastar music artists he was able to feature in his video.
I was a teenager when this came out. Now at 58, I was having a flashback about seeing this video, but couldn’t remember the name of the song and who sand it.

My brother used to sing this to me when i was wildn out in the streets.
Cleveland stand up!!!
Hi Jay...My name is Elan, I just want U to know I sang this song, and just wanted U to know your note touched me, thank U.
Little brothers swore they were older than their big brothers back then.
A+

Holy….shit. This is a true digging-in-the crate song right here! 🤯
A song that immediately transports me to the mid 80s Superior Facts!
not to seem like a class A-Cornball.
but, am i the only one, that sees a very deep/ touching message in the song (& video storyline)?
although, yes.
at 1st glance, this video appears to be kind of a tongue in cheek styled-humor.
but, this was orig. produced; at a time, when the youth (of that era) might, easily, be put back on the right path..
by, very concerned family members, determined "NOT" to let their younger fam. members be casualties of the streets!
this is extremely timely, now.
especially, as feeling alone (& w/o any strong male influence/ role model present, in minority homes) is the #1 catalyst for crime, gang involvement, drug use, & (pre-)teen age pregnancy.
somehow, i think that we'd all be much happier if families were more responsible for their offspring/ members. ;)
"FRANKLIN FUENTES" UA-cam CHANNEL that song was the shit in the hood. Definitely had a message
Cut the shit
Thats my uncle vocals on this song that white boy dont sang this song its definitely a message in the song
awesome words of positivity.
@@michaelgreen9406 .... Hey Michael...I don't think we're related....and the vocals on the track are mine....Ummmmm.
This record was taken much more seriously at that time than this video would suggest

This is the most 80s music video ever
Wow,finally found it! This is 1984 ,WOW!

Its the 80's Enjoy it for what it is. If you did not grow up there then you should not talk. Classic 80's hooks etc.
Scotty P I agree, Scotty. Those of us that were born in the seventies, know the joy of experiencing an era where everyone listened to all genres of music.
That right 100%. I was born in 1971. Lived through the 70s and the early 80s...best times to grow up.

Just because someone wasn't born then doesn't mean they shouldn't voice their appreciation for it.

80's. 2021 still bumping🔥🔥🔥
Being of the 8th grade is when I jammed on this. Back in the day. #80smusicrocks
We were about the music back then. We all had soundtracks in our heads.

Me too and I forgot how it went
It's December 2020 and this song still kick and I still 😂😂 at the video. Great memories. 💕💕
