#LionelRichie #DancingOnTheCeiling #Vevo
God, why can't music like this be made anymore? The feel good vibes and positivity is outrageous. It's like I'm dancing on the ceiling!
they can, it's called cocaine!
Because we’re in the last days and things are getting dark…
Well said! I ask that question every single day. At least we'll have these incredible songs for all our days.
its harder to made then new junk which are boring and without interesting rhytm and peak sound/chorus
@@Mr11ESSE111you mean rhythm
Modern things are even better(up to 900 trillion times better)
I've loved this song forever. I'm 66 now & still want to get up & dance
You can!
I was a club DJ from 1985-1995 and this was one of “those songs” we always used to fill an empty dance floor. Timeless classic.

Ol g
D.J's from the 80s Unite!! You Always played our Requests❤

What were the other two?
By 2024 standards, this is almost TOO much fun! 😂 What a song!!!
Damn straight! This is the kind of stuff we should be reviving from the 80s, not the whole cyberpunk-vaporwave cynicism of our contemporaries.
❤😂Too much. I love it
Bleachers has been making some fun music recently.
give them time, they will find a way to consider this offensive
far much better than the condescending/awful/nasty/racist rap and most hip hop songs we hear since 2000.
Lionel Ritchie was phenomenal
I'm a 75 year old Vietnam Veteran and this song makes me get up and dance.
thank you for your service!
thank you for your service , NOW BOOGIE DOWN
I am a Vietnam Era war orphan. Thank you for your service, Sir, and I am glad you made it home safely.
Yep! Thank you for your service! (My father was a Marine in the late 50s, and my mother's older brother---my Uncle Dutch---served in WWII (he was also a POW). I think my Uncle George was in Korea.
Am I the only one with nostalgic tears in their eyes? To long for such happier times…. God how I wish it so. The energy from a track like this is just so uplifting. The world may be going crazy but it’s songs like this that restore my hope and I know everything will be alright in the end. Love y’all 🥰
I grew up in the eighties - a young child - but I will always be an 80's man !
I love this comment. I agree 100%. Just keep listening to it to keep that feeling alive.
Yes. It's rubbish.
I'm so blessed I was born in the mid 70s, raised in the 80s
THIS IS WHY 80s REMAINS LEGENDARY ⭐💫⚡🙏😢
Fuck Yeah!
The 80"s Rule!
Holy right!
We don’t dance on the ceiling like we used to
What we shud do is everyone have a massive party all these bangin tunes !!!! My parents are so lucky ... we gt justin beber
I seriously don’t think Lionel has had one single bad track ever, even when he was with the Commodores. He’s just amazing, love his voice. This is so upbeat. Classic 80s nostalgia 🎶👏🏻👏🏻
Hello pretty 💖
Such an amazing song it makes me remember old times with love ones
Hi Sara

I can't still appreciate everyone of you enough for the unconditional love and massive supports ❤️ it's because of you am here today. I hope you won't stop listening and supporting my songs.

He is Indeed amazing, just can't stop listening to his songs, you seem to like his music alot, I can tell from your comment, he will be so glad to know that people are out there who cares and appreciate him so dearly....by the way nice meeting you on here, I hope you are having a wonderful time out there ???
Back in the 80s we all had fun. Music ,fashion, dancing, we lived life.❤
@@rjturkyou prune where did you get that false info from
Even now all people are totally calm and also they are just themselves
So true, people were a lot less uptight. Great music like this was everywhere. On the radio, Mtv and in the clubs. Whatta great time to be alive !! 1980's forever baby !
Fun haircuts
You forgot to mention the Cocaine! Lol
Not now we don't because of awful 2000's came!
That age was full of talented people!😢🎉❤
These are adults singing, not young kids like today.
This is an ABSOLUTE feel good song. It brings the childhood out of you. And I'm feeling it.
Yes, it's very happy and motivational song. I'm a 90's kid but I do remember the late 80's growing up. I'm just wondering how they did the walking on the ceiling effect??
@@MrChristian331 Fred Astaire did it in 1951..

I totally agree with this statement 🤘😎❤
Me too! And the videography was ahead of its time. I bought it on VHS when it 1st came out. Not that I'm OLD or anything 😉 At least in spirit!
Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ please send me a via.lionelrichierecords78@gmail.com
Lionel is one of the only guys that can do country, soul, and rock and still look and sound fantastic doing all of em.
Don't forget dance mix also with the song "Angel".
Icon! One of the greatest. The guy oozes charisma and epitomizes versatility. He's made some timeless songs - and still continues to do it!
Very True, I love Lionel. And by touching all those genre's he opened himself to multiple markets, multiple fan bases. he's got many great songs
Christopher C And pop!
Amen
Lionel Richie exists on this earth to give us epic music.
2022 and still jamming 😍🥳 The 80s remain a LEGENDARY GOLDEN ERA!!! What a time to be alive bless up Lionel ❤️
True Fact-In real life it's not possible to dance on the ceiling
In a song video yes but in real life no
Whaou 👍👍👍👍👏👍🥳😄 ça c est de la musique
My God 80s the best 4 me and 90s
I don't know who the f*** think you are talking s*** to me I'm about my phone dude my own f****** business dog
Who the f*** are you
80s music was the greatest. I was 18 in 82 and I am so glad I was young and able to take full advantage of that decade and I still enjoy rocking and partying to the music in my 50s. Keeps me young.
Wayne Johnson lucky you.....I was born late 90s n wish I could time travel
I was 10 when MTV came out and got to enjoy the evolution of music in that era. By the mid 80’s, every artist understood the power of MTV with creative videos like this. But the music still had to good and the 80’s MTV era holds up very well.
When and if I get too old to dance to this music is time to call the game and go home.
I was Five years old in 1982 but still remember hearing this song, especially on the school bus drivers favorite radio station. Great memories of the 80s as a kid.
You must be psychic, this song wasn't released until 1986 @@johnshafer7214
I miss the 80's. It was the only era where every music ruled and entire friends, families and even neighbors could relate.
dont forget the movies and DRUGS
agreed.
@@gabaghoul23MDMA and MDA were legal and cheap! People just can’t understand unless they were there.
Absolutely
The 80s had a huge crossover between music genres. Pop was Rock, and Rock had R&B/Dance elements vice versa
The vocal control is legendary
This song takes me back to a lot of fun decades ago. I love it when music does that to me!
The production value of this video is pretty big for that era
And we owe it all to capitalism, Karl.
Capitalism was god's biggest mistake
With Communism being a close second.
I'd argue that communism is the first on that list, atleast with capitalism it functions moderately. Whereas communism ruins the country and it's people.
All capitalists are pigs
One of ‘80s’ finest...
This was the first album I ever bought. Such a treasure ❤
It has that 80s energy to it.
80s Forever. Never stop passing on the music.
Lionel Richie still listening fae 1990 ❤
Yes we danced all night without a single thought of a cell phone. Great times
This is one of the best songs from Lionel Richie and I cannot stop listening to this song since it is so soothing.
this clip taught me to carry musical instruments everywhere and enter motel rooms at random. you never know when a huge choreographed dance off might be going on that you can get involved with. many times i've been pleasantly surprised, and at least twice as often i've been jailed. still worth it for when it comes off.
Wow bro
Lmao
Lol! You're genius!
Live life my brother
That was the time of the 80s it was a great time
Don’t let’s forget appreciating the musians
Nothing like this anymore ❤
Lionel Richie is the best - music really was better back in the 80s. More melodic, real instruments audible...
Not to mention upbeat, positive and easy to dance to (no pun intended)
To me so much more of the music was HAPPY!!! Made you feel HAPPY!!!
You can't get more 80s than this song

This song is 100% my wife. I lost her a day ago, and even in death, she gave of herself as an organ donor. Three people's lives were saved because of her gracious donations. I will love her forever.
I'm sorry to see this. Your wife is an angel! Thoughts are with you and your family!!!
I think I like your wife a whole bunch!
Condolences my friend. I will keep good thought and You are in my daily blessings and meditations.
If I may, Thank you so much for sharing What you're going through..... And also thank you for commenting on THIS song!
Now, every time I hear it, I will think of your story... Of you and your wife Dancing... On the Cieling.
Sorry for your loss. My husband was blessed to receive a heart transplant 7.26.22. It is because of generous souls like your wife and his donor that people are blessed with more....
I pray for you my friend
Your strength in loss is admirable.
That's why the 80's is the best decade ever!
God bless you Mr. Lionel Richie ❤🎶🎶
Extremely talented man! Thank you Lionel!
I was born in “76” so I remember Lionel’s music as part of my childhood. When my aunts and uncle’s would talk about a party they’d gone to the night before, they would say “man we was dancing on the ceiling.” It was all part of the 80’s culture. This type of fun just doesn’t exist anymore.
We were born for great music like this. I love Lionel. His music is emotional !
Thanks for likes and watching and listening
to my songs, your comments and constant
support has brought me this far. Keep the
support coming?? I hope you have been well
entertained over the years?

Quick! Where can I get me some 80s jammin' jammie pants like Lionel's and the band's?
LOL IKR
Bom demais cara
That man blew the roof off The Arena with this song. People were dancing in the aisles, on their seats, sweating, dancing with strangers... and that was him opening for Tina Turner's high octane show. He really knows how to bring on a celebration.
Such a wonderful song it makes me remember old times with love ones together
I was there in Buffalo NY as a kid. Thought my my my I LOVE MUSIC
@@PEARLEXPORT2112 that’s really great Lionel Richie stands out really great in music
@Radio Kaos woooow that would be really great please tell me a little about yourself are you married do you have any kids.....?
Hi 👋
One of the best songs ever!!!
I was working a hotel party New Years Eve 2000 and everybody brightened up so much when this song played. A real crowd pleaser
Chuef did too then flew patisserie fwace cincorde
It's almost impossible to not dance to this.
Classic 80s
Well, I'm sitting here, enjoying the music without dancing to it.
Anonym
That‘s because you are a very, very special snowflake.
I'm too busy overdosing on coke to dance.
Yes, to my future wife, this will be played on our wedding day! This also might be my most played song of 2021! Instant feel good and makes me fall in love with life all over again! 💞
Fantastic attitude you have, especially at this particuliar time, with all the problems we have in our country. Wish you the best !
Michael G
You get married yet?
@@willshogren1987 He's still listening to this song
Lionel Richie was at the top of the charts when a girl was born in my family. She's turning 41 and the music is just as great now as it was then. One of the greatest artists of that era. What a spectacular voice he has. Love the upbeat music that was great for dance and romance.
Thanks for the love and support
Oh really sounds good and it’s nice meeting you here Joan!👋
Hello
@@frankdavid3691 ciao Frank!😊😘💘
@@anelladambrosio2513 how are you doing
In the film Royal Wedding (1951), the scene featuring the song "You're All the World to Me" was filmed by building a set inside a revolving barrel and mounting the camera and its operator to an ironing board which could be rotated along with the room. Astaire danced in the barrel set as if he really danced on the wall and ceiling. It inspired the Lionel Richie song "Dancing on the Ceiling" with the music video featuring Richie doing the same room dance as a tribute to Astaire.
Lionel Richie is a music legend, Lionel has put out so many beautiful love songs over the years!!!! Love u Lionel Richie !!!!😍😍😍😍.

Thanks for the great comment, i’m forever grateful. hope you enjoyed listening to my songs?
@@lionelrichie_offic_fanchannel Buzz off faker. Get a life.
This song takes me right back to 1986 when I had just met my husband Gareth. Had 34 yrs together. I lost him at 58 yrs of age to cancer . This reminds me of him. Love you Gar. Miss you love ❤️❤️
Memories you'll never forget
I miss the 80's! Who else wishes they could go back?!
80's OH WHAT A FEELING!!! Yes. They were that fun...
TO ALL FRIENDS ! ! AND TERRY DO YOU REMEMBER THIS SONG ?
I began high school in 1988, during a time when the music of the 80s was truly memorable. It was a decade that produced some of the most feel-good tunes that will forever remain embedded in my memories.
Me too, best decade ever. Those songs just stick with you.
This is one of the top 5 tunes. Thanks, Lionel
This video was directed by Stanley Donen, the man who helmed "Singin' in the Rain". "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "Funny Face", "Damn Yankees" and most importantly "Royal Wedding", which featured Fred Astaire famously dancing on the ceiling. We Love You, Mr. Donen. And you Oscar acceptance is the best I've ever seen, and heard! Bless you Sir.
I’m drunk and feelin some 80s...this is a must
When i was 15 in 1985 i didn't need anything, was probably the best year of my life! But yeah, now it seems like we need a little something to help take us back.
Lol same everytime I drink I get to groovin to the 80s!!!
Yes I feel this 100%
Oh shoot... Imagine perfect timing... I'm faded and I seen this as my first comment
Ahhh. Bless ya 💜
0:56 man when this hit... nostalgia kicked in. I remembered listening to this as a kid. I'm only 24. But this felt like a whole different world. People looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves in this video. Nowadays everyone looks awkward and care about how their every move looks because of the Internet. There's a ton of awesome things that the Internet brought but I feel it messed up the world at the same time, globalisation. Was life really better back then? I'm feeling really sad right now lol
❤❤❤❤
I wasn’t born in the 80s, I didn’t live through the 80s but it sure looked like an amazing decade to be apart of and today’s music just ain’t got the soul compared with 80s music. Long live the 80s!
Insomnia
I was a rowdy kid in the greatest time rowdy kids ever had........
you have no idea
You missed the greatest decade for music, movies, cars, and fashion.
The 80s was like every other decade, a lot of bad things were happening, but people made great music at the same time. Although the music was better than average in my opinion.
Why can't we have good cheesy fun songs like this anymore, especially with guitar solos?
I KNOW? People say I'm stuck in the past, but it's because THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THIS. All the pop is horrible, it's not even catchy. I mean, these stupid kids don't even write shit that rhymes. I'm 35 and anyone under 30 is a kid to me and I don't get it, and I don't want to. And like. I forget what else.
cause they sucked
Idk. This lame ass Bruno mars shit is getting old fast right? Everyone trying too hard to be edgy and trendy. Main stream is garbage now
Preach it, brother!
What happened to fun?
Yeah....you are young outside.....BUT AND OLD GRANNY INSIDE!!
I grew up listening to Lionel's classics and even now, at 38 I absolutely love them :)
Same 32 here🤘🎶
Just saw him in concert last night he was so amazing! I’m 38 as well
45 and this song is still great
..read your comment fairplay to you 😉🙂😎
hey pretty lady you great taste
A song that we can dance and enjoy together.. pure 80s vintage
Rodney Dangerfield's cameo appearance at the end of the video is PRICELESS!
RD: Hey what's happening here?
LR: Come on up!
RD:(looks in the camera surprised 🙀)OH I SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN THAT UPSIDEDOWN CAKE! HEY LOUIE COME HERE, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS!!! HEY LOUIE, LOUIE!!! 🤣🤣🤣
The 80's were a great time. Everyone got along.
I wish it was like that now.
GREATEST SONG ! ! LOTS OF MEMORIES ! !
Not really. Don't let nostalgia overtake the reasonable part of your brain.
Hate always existed. Back then, today and forever.
@@JohnCena8351 Hate Has always existed but it was just a more carefree time for many of us.
@@MICKLUVR Sure. If we look at it from a purely egoistic pov it's true.

You mean extremely,get your spelling correct
The kids of today will never understand how good life was back in the 80/90s
god I wish I lived in the 80’s best music, movies, people, fashion and the old walkmans I’m jealous😔
I am apart of the youth of today and even tho I represent a small amount of us I still love this song.

Fantastic special effects. Fred Astaire would be proud.
Nice to see the late Rodney Dangerfield at the end of the video.
🎉This is a masterpiece. Loved it in the 80s and still love it❤️🎉⭐
The ultimate feel good song !!! Play it every Saturday before I head out to the bar...
, the 80's were a pretty great decade, with wonderful music... shame that there isn't any good music being made these days.
Life is one grand, sweet song so start the music.🥰
One of the best videos for a great song. The guitar solo is one of the best, Carlos Rios is a badass. Going to see Lionel on June 4th here in San Antonio. Gonna dance on the ceiling for sure!
How this doesn't have 200 million views blows my mind cmon people get your shit together
Because it's just published in july 2016 ;)
UA-cam took down several other videos of this song. I think it's already 4th or 5th upload from VEVO
Uploaded on the 7th July. Before letting your mind get blown and accusing people of lacking having their shit together, check the most basic statistics. You will find there is nothing mind-blowing going on here.
bei Lärm drücke ich dislike.
***** No, in fact it is because this video was only uploaded to youtube on July 7, 2016. The OP's comment was posted on September 6, 2016 - or only some 60 days after the video was published on youtube. In the 5 months since it was uploaded, it has garnered some 700,000 views, or 5,000 views per day since it was uploaded. At that rate, it will only take a few more years until it does reach 200 million. (Well, 109 years to be exact).
80's music were so good! I'm dancing on the ceiling just listening to this song and many other 80's hits!
You prune THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE IN REAL LIFE
@@stephensnell5707 maybe you need to dance on the ceiling! 🎊💯
@@godzilla0083you twat,it simply is not possible due to the strength of GRAVITY
Music I'll never get tired of listening ♬
It's a masterpiece. It's also fascinating to watch, knowing that the set is essentially a rotating box, carrying the camera with it, how the box quivers and shakes a little as people move their positions during the sequence.
It sounds as if the same technology was used with this song as was used in the movie where Fred Astair danced on the ceiling. Amazing considering how many years passed between the two routines. 😊
After thirty years, I still love this video, but damn! How '80's can you get?
This guy wakes up in the morning with great lyrics in his head , writes them down and turns them in to , not only hits but timeless hit at that! Top drawer .
Man if I could go back to 1985 start again !!!!!!
Great song... Great album... Love 80s and Lionel Ritchie 💖💖💖
THIS IS WHY 80s REMAINS LEGENDARY!!!

Still to this day, it amazes me how they did this video! Even by today's standards the effects are very good! I love it!
Me too! There's a clip on UA-cam showing how they made it. Basically with a moving stage, but the camera doesn't move. The furniture was glued to the floor. Pretty fascinating
It’s basically an homage to a Fred Astaire dance number, actually.
Done in 1951 : ua-cam.com/video/b1AQjcmzvx8/v-deo.html
@@Gleem1313 thank you for that
Christopher Nolan used similar setups for "Inception," I think.
There was also a sci-fi movie called "Upside Down" a while ago. 2012, I think? Twin planets, gravity reversed, something like that.
And getting two sets of dancers, with one upside down, in the same shot, isn't rocket science: it's a composite shot.
Lionel Ritchie was amazing
This song sucks the sad outta my soul like nothing else!💃💃💃💃
Oh really same here too and it’s nice meeting you here Nikki!👋
80s was larger than life. I think it warped my mind. Nothing was ever the same.
Truly the 80s was the best decade ever. Hope one day someone somehow invents time traveling. So I can stay there and never come back.
Mmmm yes if you do get a hold of a time machine, try not to get involved at all with the Challenger disaster, John Lennon's death, AIDS, Iran contra affair, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, etc. Lol just saying, every time period has good times and bad

Viva os anos 80!❤❤❤❤
One of the best song of the 1980's. Incredible video, this song definitely is a dance floor filler, incredibly beat, sound, singing, uplifting, moving! 1980's and 1990's were great, great music, and I think many
people tried dancing on the ceiling after watching this video.
