Back in my day, we didn't have conversion therapy we had Sheena Easton!
Amen
Yeah, if that wouldn't do the job, ain't nothin' would.
WTF does that even mean? Gays can change by watching Sheena sing? 😆 Ummm, it made me even gayer.
@@Mouse01011 I'm making jokes about 1984 Sheena Easton. I'm not running for president, Actually, I thought about saying if that doesn't make you straight nothing will! Hell, I am gay but still hard-wired enough to spend the night inside those sugar walls! Even though it would have been statutory rape until the year 1987! LOL! In reality, they probably did have conversion therapy back then and it was even worse than it is now.
@@Mouse01011Yeah, we know maggot.
Sheena Easton is so under appreciated. She made great timeless songs and was also very sexy and classy.
Definitely timeless still sounds fresh 40 years later
Still is sexy
This song and Olivias "Physical" helped me through puberty lol
Beautiful woman without all plastic parts
She looks like a straight up 80s supermodel...and that's not a bad thing at all..

In the history of confident performers (and I mean performers that looked at the camera with confidence and did not get nervous) there have only been a few to be able to look at the camera with a truly dominating look. Not even Madonna or Michael Jackson were that confident. Even Elvis showed shyness once in a while. But, Sheena Easton and Susanna Hoffs from the group The Bangles looked at the camera like they were born to be a star and with the most confidence I have ever seen. It really is incredible to watch her look. Even today on an old VHS video that look is still powerful !!! That is how a true star dominates a performance !!
When you know the "package" you bring, you can do it, she knows she is beautiful and almost perfect
This was lip synced though. But you can find her doing it live on the Tonight Show three years later with what looked like more confidence in a more intimidating venue.
Sheena Easton is smokingly hot !!! Also a very talented singer and dancer. Her strut is so awesome !!!👍👍👍
The word Icon aptly describes Sheena. It's an overused word but in Sheena's case Icon fits her perfectly. She's everything you want in a female singer :)
Omg that's my junior high music teacher playing the sax!!!
Did you know he played sax for Sheena Easton? lol
Ohh no...no..that's my cousin.....Mr Bean look alike....😂😂😂😂
Wow! The one and only Mr. Bruce Hornsby on the Keyboard! You are simply the best Bruce!❤️
Sheena is the bomb I still like her music in 2019
Lynn Rogers 💋
A very famous and very nice song and music hit from 1984,and the great Sheena Easton!🥰
My favorite time period. The 1980's. I turn on the tv on the weekends and saw American bandstand and other shows solid gold and saw star playing their music or their music played while people dancing to rock and roll. I miss that time period before I was a teenager.
Best era for sure
And then Soul Train came on so we all went somewhere.
Solid Gold was a terribly cheesy show…watched it religiously!😊
This was a beautiful woman..
Every guy would put her on his arm in a heartbeat
Sheena is timeless. .. songs and looks. So beautiful. Crush for 30+ years.
I understand completely.
Hey back off, she is my gal!
YOU AND every other baby boomer born in the late 50's, early 60's...................
@@paulabby5605 Baby boomer? No baby boomer here amigo, I wasn't born in the 50's.
@@WestCoastFront O.K. Amigo , I get it guys of all different ages think she is hot. Thanks for updating me... What I was saying was, {or trying to say) at the time of this performance guys in Sheena's age group thought she was hot and had a crush on her, (and still do} Thanks, Mr Amigo.....
This song makes me feel bouncy and happy. Always perks me up when it plays at work. Currently one of my top five favorite songs.
Better voice and sexier then Madonna!! Love S.E..
With much class
AWESOMELY HOT, MISS. EASTON......
I swear, Dick Clark didn't age for the longest time.
Those fast years after the 90s wore him out
Bruce Hornsby on the keyboard before his big stardom as Bruce Hornsby & The Range in '86.
Bruce Hornsby/Range fan also.
The definition of hot
Love this track....It's only taken me 30 years.....
Blood is flowing seeing her in this skirt.
A Very Sexy Song by Sheena! ❤ Fantastic Vocals!
She had this fresh sound entering the early 80s
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMOKIN'!!!
I last heard that this incredibly talented lass was having health issues and living in Nevada. I wish she was still performing and I hope she is doing well.
If this song doesn't get you moving, you are dead!
What a little hottie. Awesome and talented. I bought her records because i love Sheena.
I was 14 years old when this song came out. I love it still today.
I love that funky guitar sound
At 1:04 you can see Bruce Hornsby on the keys, a few years before he recorded his hit “The way it is.”
Plenty of soul!!!! Excellent work Sheena Easton 😊😊😊😊✌✌✌
B Sa: This song granted her a Grammy award!...
HOLY COW, @1:03 Bruce Hornsby playing keys! Would've never imagined him playing with Sheena--how cool
just watched her singing this song in 2016 and she hasn't changed !
" Nations go to War over a woman like you --it's just a form of appreciation" !! ---------Uhhhhhh---hmmmmmm-----methinks the lady doth have a point. -------------------WolfSky9
Wow, isn't it?!!! Famous quote, right? Shocking! :)
American Bandstand. Philly's best club ❤
It was so much fun watching this Classic Artist grow form "Morning Train" to "Lover In Me" to "Do It For Love", Sheena us is one of my favorites . . . I have all her CD's . . .
I found an old notebook where I kept a log of all my VHS tapes on which I recorded the TV appearances of the musical artists I love. I saw an entry for this performance, and since I got rid of my tapes years ago, I wondered if this was online and here it is! Thank you so much for this memory.
Look closely and you'll notice her keyboard player is Bruce Hornsby.
Im sorry.. My eyes were glued on Sheena
she was a hottie back then
Yeah I saw that too ! The band is not really playing all lip synch... the guy playing bongos is not even in time with the audio track... lol
Andrew Perkins That's what I thought, too!! 🎹👍
I didn't notice anything but legs and hips. Wow! She was a looker back in the day.
She is so 80s
Short skirt
Real skirt, not shorts
God I miss the 80s
this song takes me back to the 80,s
Like I said before Sheena is a Fox! Always will be.
Why?
It is such an energizing song! With a little …. No … a LOT of attitude! And then there’s the classic mall hair !! Love it
I was 13 when this came out, nuff said.
One of many songs I like from Shenna Easton. Period. And one of many of my favorite music artists.
I'm 25 and want every part of sheena then AND now. She's a woman in all senses and at all levels
Yes, who's on keyboards at 2:14? Bruce Hornsby. And on bass? Joe Puerta from Ambrosia who was later in The Range with Bruce...
Freaked out when I realized that was Bruce Hornsby on keys! Never would have imagined him playing with Sheena, bonus points for Joe! How fun
Those legs!!!!!
This song is out of this world. The lyrics are amazing.
Decades close in on each other as time goes on. Sheena and the orchestra look a lot like performers from the 1940's, which to THEM was their 40 years ago.
Back when real instruments (drums, saxophones, etc) were used instead of the made-up sound affects created by computers!
And there are absolutely computerized sounds on this record lol.
noticed that from the get go, Dick Clark didn't want anything to wrong on his precious little show... Dick Clark was the biggest phony, just like this video... LOL
This band is great
Unfortunately they arent playing . This is a tape. The band members are talented though...bruce hornsby on keyboards
Sheena Easton 2019!!!!
She was a HOT young woman!!! Liked her music, liked seeing her perform it even more.
It was a backing track with live vocals. There’s way too many instruments 🎺 missing from the arrangement. Hence the backing track mostly to fill that void. You still hear a vocal back track but Sheena’s live vocals are still piping through
impresionat beaty
Sheena has such natural beauty and a great voice to match!
❤❤❤
why was there a quick snippette from NBC on here? American bandstand was always on ABC except for the rebooted version that totally sucked.
I wanted her so bad as a kid!!!! (Still do!!!) Lol...
Hmm, you're about the only bloke that she didn't have . . . Cheers!
@Daniel Treadwell Oh dear. Have you seen your doctor? Cheers!
Jay Montgomery cut it out
Same here :)
Awesome
Hot
Jack Johnson like me..
Bellísima mujer
shes beautiful
Saved!
Damn! Sheena Easton was cute 🥰....I had a crush on her and Gloria Estefan back when I was kid. I wish women were more like this now a days...Now, most girls/women have weird body piercings and ugly ass tattoos.
Smokin hot
Absolutely GORGEOUS Eyes, Teeth , Lips , Face .................................................................
This is a lot of equipment just for lipsyncing/which all the bands did on AB !!!###
Here she remind me of that girl in black dahlia
You know you're from Williamsburg Virginia when they do a close-up of Sheena Easton's face and you don't notice because you're checking out Bruce Hornsby!
Cantonese version in Hong Kong named as bad girl by anita mui
I don't think the band was playing live. The trumpeter at :29 seemed a little too enthusiastic
Definitely not live. It's the studio recording over-dubbed.
strut - Sheena Easton
He said, "Baby, what's wrong with you?
Why don't you use your imagination ?
Nations go to war over women like you,
it's just a form of appreciation
Come on over here, lay your clothes on the chair
Now let the lace fall across your shoulder
Standing in the half light, you're almost like her
So take it slow like your daddy told you"
Chorus:
Strut pout, put it out, that's what you want from women
Come on baby, what'cha taking me for
Strut pout, cut it out, all taking and no giving
Watch me baby while I walk out the door
I said, "Honey, I don't like this game,
you make me feel like a girl for hire
All this fascination with leather and lace is just the smoke from another fire"
He said, "Honey, don't stop a speeding train
before it reaches its destination
Lie down here beside me, oh, have some fun too
Don't turn away from your true vocation"
chorus
I won't be your baby doll, be your baby doll
I won't be your baby doll, be your baby doll
(Instrumental break)
chorus x 3
Huh, Joe Puerta on bass ✌
Better hip action than Elvis
She knew how to work those hips and yet still maintain a wholesome image somehow.
She was smokin’ hot!
And them thick solid legs. Jeepers peepers
I love you my friend
Sounds live. Either way, she can sing.
Damn
Them legs! Them legs!
It's just legs geez
❤😁👍
Very. Old song
FUN FACTS:
This song Strut was not written by Prince. Prince did write Sugar Walls for Sheena that is also on the same album of Strut. So, he heard Strut being prepared. Then, he talked about this song with Madonna who at the same time was recording her album Like A Virgin and Prince was dating Madonna at the time. In that album Madonna recorded the song Material Girl. Both Strut and Material girl have the same sharp dry symmetrical drums that Prince and Michael Jackson made famous. It is said that Prince influenced how the drums sounded in those two songs Strut and Material Girl. No wonder these songs still sound great in 2023. Also, if you didn't know Prince secretly wrote the song called What Have You Done For Me Lately for Janet Jackson. It is said he did it in secret to get back at Janet's brother for outshining his success with the album Thriller which sold a lot more than his Purple Rain album. With Prince help Janet's album with that song he composed for her has sold over 10 million copies and put Janet firmly on top of the charts the year it came out. So, Prince had a hand in those three songs that have great drum rhythm. That dude was on his own level. Now imagine all the songs still in his vault that no one has ever heard.
hawt...
😍😍👌💘💣💥💥
Elvis has good hip action too. Not a contest.
Strut pout put it out, that's all I want from women!!!
OK I want a few more things like honesty and love...
Nice to know! Still, it's quite a catchy tune -and not that far off really!
Sheena,Olivia Newton john,were the princess in the beginings of the 80's till Madonna arrived to take her place as Queen.
:) :) :)
Madonna couldn't hold a candle to Sheena or Olivia.
@@randolphduke That is true. I think Sheena is probably the best artist at getting every ounce of emotion out of her vocal chords. If you haven't look up the Lost Odyssey OST and the two vocal tracks the game has were both done by Sheena Easton and she could control those cords rather well.
@@b.d.cooper8671 I'll have to check them out. Thanks!
@@randolphduke I never played the game, but I don't have to get emotional on her tracks. Her voice is just as magical at nearly 50 as it was when she was in her 20s.
广東版 壞女孩
Akeria lip-synched this better on RPDR. 🙈🙉🙊
英文版更好聽！
The song that sings how to act like a WOMAN ABOUT YOUR "BUSINESS"....
every live performance on ab is so fake. its so obvuously a studio recording with the band and the singer phoning it in
Days of lip sync
Dhart572 ok
Lip singing at it's finest.
I like this song though
