Eddie Murphy is singing this in his own voice. He would impersonate Rick James on SNL. So, Rick James wrote this specifically for him. Radio was so apprehensive when they knew it was about to drop. BUT, it stayed @ #2 for 3 WEEKS!!! You can tell right at the beginning he was a bit nervous, but then his talent took over & he let it fly!! I love this song bc it will get you dancing around, every time you hear it. Uplifting your mood in a snap!! I see all of you dancing & smiling right now, just can’t help ourselves, right?!
Yes! Finally, Eddie Murphy is here on the channel. Love this song! Always liked this video. Everybody having fun behind the scenes. Feliz cumpleaños Dereck!
Happy Birthday!! Feel like it's my birthday hearing this song. Have been hoping to see a reaction to this so thank you to the patreon that requested it and to Dereck for reacting.
Yes, we loved that song then and even more now. You know Dereck, Bruce Willis and Don Johnson also recorded songs in the 80's. Their hits were Respect Yourself for Bruce Willis and Heartbeat for Don Johnson.
In the USA, jealous people dont like it when you are successful. But when you try to be successful in another genre or are successful in another genre, they express their jealousy through jokes; that is what happened to Eddie Murphy then. They also said negative thangs about his singing.
happy birthday dereck. my b'day is sat. scorpios rule!!! back in 1985 i think we were all surprised that eddie could sing. and there was no auto tune back then that i am aware of. maybe sometime you could react to the longer versions of songs. the 12" mixes. they are so much better than the 3-4 min versions.
Bill Murray was in video for Buster Poindexter's "Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot". They were both in Scrooged together around that time, likely filmed concurrently when they were both there for filming movie. They must be friends. Also, Chevy Chase was in Paul Simon's video for "You Can Call Me Al". Come to think of it, lots of actors in videos in the 80s. Here's one you probably don't know. A band called Texas had Alan Rickman in their video for their song "In Demand" just because the singer always liked Alan. And he said yes!! ua-cam.com/video/X4-gNN8WRHo/v-deo.html
I didn't know you were a Scorpio (or maybe I did..?) but don't worry, I'm not a Scorpio hater! But y'all can be scary sometimes! (I am not a Scorpio but have a lot of Scorpio placements in my chart so I get ya!) Happy birthday! This song is such a guilty pleasure. The synths, the melody - it's SO Rick James, and coming off him doing In My House for the Mary Jane Girls, you can hear the similarities. Also, I am fully 40 and have known this song sing I was a kid, but my juvenile brain just heard "potty all the time" and now I can't unhear it. Listen and you'll hear it too. His girl needs to be on the potty all the time!
Happy birthday 🎉🎁 my moon sign is Scorpio. The sign he does with Rick at the end is ok not an illuminate thing lol. Yes Eddie can sing he played a womanising crooner managed by Jamie foxx in the dream girls film in 2006.
Must admit, how did you not know this as this song is in pop culture and gets talked about a lot-and still plays on radio and on music compilations. etc
j'avais vu un sketch sur comedy central sur ce tube je ne savais même pas que le tub original d'où était tiré le sketch était si bon !! j'avais regardé le clip sur youtube ensuite !! le sketch est extraordinaire !!!
you said that you were getting MJ vibes. that's because he was doing background vocals!! He and Eddie were friends. Michael also did background on Rockwell's Someone is Watching Me
Michael didnt do any background on this song. There is no proof that he did. Rick James vocals are in this song. Why would you said this about Michael?
This song is pretty much considered to be a novelty. He got his buddy Rick James to write and produce this for him. Without Rick, this would have been intolerable to listen to. Hence we've never heard another thing from him.
Ok, probably unpopular, but honest opinion: From a European point of view, this is not really bad, but meh... I found these type American Themes rather unimpressive, mostly appearing in some B-Movie. I mean, at the same time we had Sandra (In the Heat Of The Night), Falco (Rock Me Amadeus), A-Ha, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, etc. - and in the US there was MJ, Lionel Richie, ec.

People who grew up in the 80's like I did knew knew about this song. Like you said, it was a hit
Yes! Finally, Eddie Murphy is here on the channel. Love this song!
Always liked this video. Everybody having fun behind the scenes.
Feliz cumpleaños Dereck!
Mr. 80s. beverly hills cop, trading places, coming to America.
Dude was on top of the world back then ❤❤❤
Happy Birthday!! Feel like it's my birthday hearing this song. Have been hoping to see a reaction to this so thank you to the patreon that requested it and to Dereck for reacting.
Happy Birthday Dereck! 🎂 I graduated from High School in 1985! Great time to be young!
That sign my friend is called "The Funk"🤘🏽
the beat reminds of new attitude by patti labelle, and neutron dance by pointer sisters, great songs.
Happy Birthday Dereck with this epic song from a crazy sexy cool period.
Eddie Murphy "Oh Jah Jah" [OFFICIAL]
Yes, we loved that song then and even more now. You know Dereck, Bruce Willis and Don Johnson also recorded songs in the 80's. Their hits were Respect Yourself for Bruce Willis and Heartbeat for Don Johnson.
And Patrick Swayze had "She's Like the Wind" in 1987.
@@RoninNZ love it! It was in dirty dancing and on the soundtrack which I had on cassette yes I'm that old😁
Bruce Willis did a few songs called it the return of Bruno which I had on VHS tape he also did under the board walk.

exactly !!! and he was actually better than many who sing for a living
Hilarious! I remember dancing to this in the 80's. It passed because of Rick Super Freak James.
He did record a song with MJ 🎉🎉🎉
Love, love this song! Hope you had a great birthday! 🎂🎉🥂

Dereck., you need to check out "Whatzupwitu", Eddie Murphy's actual duet with MJ.
Now that one's bass line is really NASTY.

Premier 😁
Big hit when Eddy Murphy was at the top of his career.
Yeah, Eddy is extremely talented guy.
I didn't know you were a Scorpio (or maybe I did..?) but don't worry, I'm not a Scorpio hater! But y'all can be scary sometimes! (I am not a Scorpio but have a lot of Scorpio placements in my chart so I get ya!) Happy birthday!

If you've never heard this song before or even knew Eddie Murphy could sing, how is it that you know the words??
He's great in the movie "Dreamgirls" too💞🎤🎶
Gwyneth Paltrow's version in Glee ❤️
Happy birthday 🎉🎁 my moon sign is Scorpio.
The sign he does with Rick at the end is ok not an illuminate thing lol.
Yes Eddie can sing he played a womanising crooner managed by Jamie foxx in the dream girls film in 2006.
I hear first time in Gtv v good song
Eddie Murphy Ft. Michael Jackson
"Whatzupwitu" (Official Video)
And now just Rick James with Super Freak...?! 😁
He did a song with MJ as well! Please react to „Whatzupwitu“ 💕💕
You beat me to requesting it!❤️
There was a dance electronic cover or remix (as I think it was sampled) in the late 90’s or early 2000s just called PATT by Sharam
He did one called "Put Your Mouth on Me" later
Happy birthday derect,pour ce jour je te propose d'écouter Precious little diamond de fox the fox
He can do ballads too. Check out “How Can It Be?”,the title track of the album,and the original “What,What In Your Butt?” Happy birthday,by the way.
You can react to "Wazupwit U" from Eddy Murphy and Michael Jackson ! I like this song, they seemed to had fun doing it !
"Sous Le Vent" by Céline Dion and Garou!!!!
Bruce Willis and Patrick Swayze both put out albums in the 80s as well. LOL Swayze's 'She's Like The Wind" isn't that bad.
Don Johnson from Miami Vice also released an album and his single Heartbeat...
@@slimboy00000 I totally forgot about that, but now it's stuck in my head. LOL
@@Dantheman11281 😄😄
@Calisparkz2 Yea, his album is mostly covers along with Respect Yourself. LOL
Must admit, how did you not know this as this song is in pop culture and gets talked about a lot-and still plays on radio and on music compilations. etc
Production de l’excellent Rick James
j'avais vu un sketch sur comedy central sur ce tube je ne savais même pas que le tub original d'où était tiré le sketch était si bon !! j'avais regardé le clip sur youtube ensuite !!
le sketch est extraordinaire !!!
Fist time but you know lyrics Ahah .
Doesn't matter your videos are great xD
Check out Eddie Murphy and Michael Jackson song called whatz up😊
you said that you were getting MJ vibes. that's because he was doing background vocals!! He and Eddie were friends. Michael also did background on Rockwell's Someone is Watching Me
Michael didnt do any background on this song. There is no proof that he did. Rick James vocals are in this song. Why would you said this about Michael?
Lol, that song about the chick who needs to potty all the time.
Ugh....I hate to admit it but this song is enjoyable...😆
You should react to Heartbeat by Don Johnson
Eddie Murphy - Boogie In Your Butt (1996)
если бы не gta 5 так бы не узнал про эту песню
Devin Townsend - Kingdom emgtv
This song is pretty much considered to be a novelty. He got his buddy Rick James to write and produce this for him. Without Rick, this would have been intolerable to listen to. Hence we've never heard another thing from him.
Great song but the budget for the coke dealer was bigger than for the video lol!!
Ok, probably unpopular, but honest opinion:
From a European point of view, this is not really bad, but meh...
I found these type American Themes rather unimpressive, mostly appearing in some B-Movie.
I mean, at the same time we had Sandra (In the Heat Of The Night), Falco (Rock Me Amadeus), A-Ha, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, etc. - and in the US there was MJ, Lionel Richie, ec.
Yo, Please check jean batiste guéguan « tu es toujours là » copycat Jonny Hallyday.
