@@paulfranklin4276 I'M OLD...it was the several days of watching the movie ROOTS on tv for me.

I knew you would know this one...Leo, us old folks used to tear up the dance floor to this one back in the day...as we say...we were wild and tore up from the floor up. Check out their other huge danceable hit...Candy. I'm in my 50s and this is still a banger.
Your couch dancing makes me unspeakably happy!! We were so cool in the 80s. If it was banging, we liked it, regardless of genre. You are carrying on that fine tradition. 💜💜💜
@@angelamorrow8973 He did Freak On a Leash but not the video. Which is too bad because what a video it is! He would’ve liked it. He’d probably trip out over the Word Up video haha.
Another jam music is music thank god I was never told you can only listen to black music bc I was a little black girl I can't picture life w/o The Beetles,Billy Idol,Dolly Parton,Teena Marie,etc opening your mind to all music is a good thing #WordUp🎶🙈🤗🙏🏾🔥
Omg I’ve been tryin to get u to do this for the longest!!!!!! 80’s was the best Now please do Touch Myself by the Divinyls And yes that’s Lamar from Reading Rainbow 😂
My fav Cameo tune back in the day. Idk if anyone can listen to this one without moving around. A lot! Nice reaction. If someone ain't moving to this, we're gonna kick your ass to get you moving. lol
When I was a teenager my older brother drove me crazy listening to this I think he broke the record on how many times he listen to it , word up .... However Korn did a good cover of this....
So he watched Rick James then we see him in the Rick James coat, how long until the red codpiece appears in a future video?? Patiently waiting.......................................................................................... EDIT - yet an even better reaction that I ever thought it would be!!!
Swedish woman living in France. Going through some really hard times, but you make smile and remember so much good music. Keep it up, you are amazing ❤️
Might I suggest a song that always brings a smile to my face when I’m low? Kalapana Naturally. Might do the same for you. It’s Hawaiian modern so don’t worry.
Oh dam, i remember this one. At the clubs back in the day everyone did their craziest dance to this. Oh my god good times back then.🕺💃 🎶🎶🎶💕💕💕💕 i sure do live your dancing mr. V. 👍👍🥰🥰
Hahahaha!!! "Soul Check: they do 'em the hospital...they just started 'em!" OMG Leo!!! Aside from the fact that this was one of my VERY favorite songs while in high school...it has now been made one of my ALL TIME favorites because of you! That "Sit Dance" was on point with this one!!!!! GREAT reaction!!
Hot damn!! I'm 57 yr old white woman. This takes me way back. When I got my first car my Dad put in a 8 track tape player. My first 8 track was Rick James super freak. Then the Dazz band , Cameo, etc. I graduated high school in 1982. When Super Freak comes on the radio now my car windows are down and my back windshield is vibrating from the music. In my head I'm 16 again young and carefree. I am so thankful that I grew up in this era of music. ❤❤❤
I watched the korn version of this cover while high. I was like i must be sleepwalking right not now or some shit. Like why is they faces on dogs. Hell goin on? Then fell asleep on the floor.
I was 12 when this song came out. I loved it. Lol. This song, Whitney Houston, Bon Jovi, Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Poison, Violent Femmes, New Order, The Smiths, Simple Minds, Motley Crue, and Metallica. This was my middle school years summed up in music.
Omg you jamming to one of the funkiest dance songs freaking ever!!! I'm in my 50s, and this song is 1st up in my funk playlist. Then *Parliament* of course💃
I am embarrassed to admit that our cheer squad had the most 80s halftime dance ever to this song. We even wore earrings with “word” on one and “up” on the other.
Everytime I hear one of y'all guys say I never heard of them him or her I say to myself you must have lived a very sheltered life, old skool music for life
@@MrVideo123 Hell Yes!! 🔥❤🔥I do "Word Up" then "Candy" for sit-ups. Same beat!! Why haven't you done "Return of the Mack" Mack Morrison? You'll need your dancing license revoked and be sent home if you don't dance to it. 🤣 It's a VIBE!!
Second! SEVENTH!!! Leo has no CREAM! Eric Clapton in Cream! "White Room" "Sunshine Of Your Love" "Strange Brew" "Swlabr" "Badge" "I Feel Free" Come on here!
Most people miss the fact that LeVar Burton (Young Kunta Kinte in Roots / Reading Rainbow / Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation) played the cop.

Rockwell - I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me
Agreed!
Yes with MJ singing backup vocals
Yes!! Great song!
Rockwell is Berry Gordy's son or nephew.
Michael Jackson singing the chorus helped make that a big hit!!!! Still love it today!!!
"OH SHIELA" BY READY FOR THE WORLD
"WORD UP IS THE CODE WORD. NO MATTER WHERE U SAY IT U KNOW THAT YOU'LL BE HEARD"
I loved Digital Display by Ready for the World too! Also had some good lovey dovey sexy songs!
Ready for the World was the SHIT back in the day! Damn! I forgot about them! Glad somebody didn't, tho!
Yes! Oh Sheila! I forgot about this one too. 👍😎
I forgot Oh Sheila. That song is sexy !
I was about to suggest this too!!

Believe it or not, Korn actually did a really good cover of this song! I was impressed.
I was trying to remember who did the cover of this. Has he reacted to any Korn. He needs to.
I was actually going to recommend this be the next Video to check out.
And Mel B of Spice Girls.
@@angelamorrow8973 He did Freak On a Leash but not the video. Which is too bad because what a video it is! He would’ve liked it. He’d probably trip out over the Word Up video haha.
@@angelamorrow8973 I wanna see him react to the Twisted Transistor video.
🌹 People, help me out, shouldn't Mr. Video do:
"I WONDER IF I TAKE YOU HOME" by Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam ??? 👏👏👏
I was just going to request this!!!! 😲🤩🥳
💯💯💯💯💯❣️🎶
I would love to see him cover Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. Especially the songs "Lost In Emotion", "All Cried Out" and "Head to Toe".
Don't forget Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam with "can you feel the beat"
@La Escorpiona “Can you feel the Beat is actually my favorite Lisa Lisa song; I was hoping to reel him in with Take You Home, lol!!!!
Mr. V. has got the moves don't he ? 😁
Rita don’t pump my head up lol
Always leaves me satisfied 👍
He did the worm on the couch on another video! 😂♥️
Leo is great love his moves but ladies you know what they say if a guy can dance......he is probably good .....you can fill in the blanks!!! Lol
@@tonyarodriguez2098 Yessssss Girl 😉
Talk about a blast from the past!
Agree with you
Yes, that was Levar Burton, the Reading Rainbow dude. 😂 “Candy” is a must! It’s my favorite by them.
My favorite too!!!
Lmao that's Larry Blackmon, Levar was Kunta Kinte in Roots though. Glad he came out of that one ok.
Oh shit, now I got you, nvm lol
@@NotBenCoultryslowazz
Another groove from this eta; Grace Jones- Pull Up To The Bumper.
Yesss! Grace Jones deserves some attention!!

Grace Jones.. Now theres a name I haven't heard of in awhile! Lol
EVERYONE danced to this in the clubs in the 80s. So so much fun!!
I was only 12 in 86 when this came out. Perfect time for kids to dance to jams like this.
I was 20 LOL Club age was 18 back then ☺️
Word up 🎉🎉Absolute Headbanger song definitely a song you could get people jumping to even at a party even nowadays
" candy" by them is also fire.

My fav Cameo tune back in the day. Idk if anyone can listen to this one without moving around. A lot! Nice reaction. If someone ain't moving to this, we're gonna kick your ass to get you moving. lol
The cops were trying to arrest him for the display of unauthorized red codpiece
THIS SONG IS SO YOU 🤣 Every time I hear it I'm going to think of you up and dancing 😂
they would mix this track with prince all the time in the discos back in the days, it fits perfectly in front or after, like prince - kiss
I started to die laughing inside when I saw you dancing bro you definitely like to party I can tell let me party with you bro🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤
You need a bigger dance floor!!

@@KingFahtah haha
Hahaha! He doesn't know half the artists he reacts too but knows Levar Burton the Reading Rainbow dude! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oran Juice Jones 'The Rain' was another great song from this year, I think they even toured together at one point.
I just adore you to pieces. I love how you immerse yourself into the music.
When I was a teenager my older brother drove me crazy listening to this I think he broke the record on how many times he listen to it , word up ....
However Korn did a good cover of this....
Now do Korn’s version. ☺️🎼
Yes.. very much this! =D
💯🧠❣️🎶
I love video that Korn made, great version of this song
The Willis cover is outstanding, too.
Goodness yes.
Janet Jackson “Rythm Nation”
A triple double spin..Ohh man I stepped on my lab top...LOL
And I think he said "triple quadruple spin" too! Leo is HILARIOUS!!!
So he watched Rick James then we see him in the Rick James coat, how long until the red codpiece appears in a future video?? Patiently waiting.......................................................................................... EDIT - yet an even better reaction that I ever thought it would be!!!
Not the cod piece...😂😂😂😬😬😂😂😄
IF this fool Leo put on a cod piece I'm done lmao, he is already one of the best
First got my taste of this song on a CD my dad bought as a kid called Funk 1 yes I’m white as hell but i love some good old fashioned funk jams

The 80's were the greatest for music. Love your appreciation and dancing. It was the best time to be alive. 🤩
Love it when a song makes you break out all the dance moves !!😅🕺🏿🥰
Shout out to Lavar playing the detective! Candy was another hit...he was famous for his voice, haircut and codpiece. Takes me back to the 80's!!
Please can you do more Rick James as he is my favourite singer off all time.
It would mean a lot
