tallaussiebloke us dancers are taught to dance with ballroom dancing shoes that have 2 n 1/2 inches so it becomes second nature. I dance better with heels than flats. If u watch dancing with the stars you’ll see they have on heels rehearsals and performances. But still at 56 during her Billboards performance she rocked. She put all of the artists in their 20s, 30s to shame.
You’ve all got to remember that this song came out over a year after “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” so I’ll bet they wanted to see what would happen if you did live-action/animation like WFRR in a music video! The result: it’s honestly pretty nifty!
@@coryverses That part I did not know! Thanks @Cory Verses! By the way, I don’t know about you, but I really like the instrumentals of this song! I mean, it was the ‘80s that this song came out, and a lot of the best songs I’ve ever heard come from the ‘80s! 😎🤙🏻
@@gimperiale no problem :) for me the 80s produced the best songs, the best melodies. timeless music! i built a playlist on spotify dedicated to this kind of music. songs like the pleasure principle, trying to get over by D Train, etc. it’s so easy to find music from that decade that you can enjoy 👌🏾
I feel that this is waaaay more 90's culturally actually. There's no synth, there's some rapping, animated and live action mixed together, grungy alleys and rooftops. The sets feel like something from a nickelodeon live action show.
Ramon Zarazua I'd say it's very, very, late '80s-early '90s, it wouldn't happen any earlier than '87 or any later than '91. Also there's quite a lot of synth, just listen to that bassline, the 808 cowbell etc.
Fun Fact: MC Skat Kat's dance movements were created using rotoscope animation. Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers, known for his role as Turbo in the *Electric Boogaloo* films, performed the dance moves in front of a blue screen, and animators drew the character over Chambers' movements to bring MC Skat Kat to life. 😎
So iconic! My favorite song as a 6-year-old. I loved watching the video on MTV. Fond memories of my parents singing this back and forth whenever it came on the radio. Fun memories! Such a great song!
I think miss Paula found the fountain of youth. She was 27-30 when she first made music and looked like a teen, now she's 54 and looks only maybe 34 (she's actually even more beautiful today).
Paula Abdul was and still is a knockout. she could sing, she could dance and every song had a beat that just caught you and still is playable in 2017. love you Paula ❤❤❤❤❤
My mom and I used to listen to this song when she drove around. She'd sing the main part, I'd be the cat. 20 years later, it was me driving, still singing the same parts. Except we changed it to "Cuz I'm dressed like a cat," cuz it was cute. My mom died six months ago. But... when I drove my sister around, it came up on my Spotify... sang the same part. 😊
Sorry you lost your Mom....I lost my Dad 12 years ago...and it still feels like yesterday... Remember her fondly when you hear this track......she's still with you.
The melody, the arrangement, the rhythm - all stand the test of time. Could have been written and performed today, and would be met with great successs.
advhutch she never taught her how to dance, she simply choreographed two music videos from 1986-1987, Janet’s been dancing on TV (professionally) since she was 9!!!! She’s a natural dancer!!

I love this song.... Let´s admit all Paula Abdul songs are great. I´m here in my bedroom listening to my playlist randomly. Saturday, August 15th 2020. Greetings from Costa Rica.

Me and my nan would always sing and dance along whenever this song came on the telly! Makes me feel nostalgic re-listening. It's not the same since she's no longer here, but I can still enjoy the song. 💕
Enrique Sánchez ...she certainly did have it all. And being cool as she was, she never let it go to her head. No dope scandals, no falls from grace. She dances as she is: Free and talented and out to raise you up just with her being. Success! It worked.
@@jadedemotions9891 Even with all that she never really fell off. She didn’t have a mental breakdown or serious problem, and as for the pain killers I understand that. She was given high doses to correlate with her serious injuries, her doctors should of monitored that more. The lip syncing everyone did it, and Michael Jackson even did it a couple times the same year she was accused so I don’t understand that. She had/has a decent singing voice and tone, and she never lied about the plane crash I’m pretty sure she passed out and didn’t remember certain parts from the crash because of trauma and the brain receptors blurring out certain memories, but hey I could be wrong that’s just what I’ve heard.
I’m from the 1980s so this stuff was amazing and so fresh and exciting. Kids today can never know how we paved the way….. especially for a gorgeous talented Paul Abdul to star with a dancing hand drawn cat with swollen feet 😂
Saints Row helped me discover this years ago & it’s still high on energy & a load of fun. Paula was onto something w/ this gem here. Also the animation team deserves credit here, for a video from 1988 this still holds up well.
Да ! Мне тогда было 10 и я удивилась и была приятно ошеломлена , что теперь под женщину энергичную танцевать можно . До неё -- только Майкла музыку и неповторимые выкрутасы танцевала ... ну , как получалось. Она -- бриллиант , однозначно !
Андре Мне было 5 лет когда я нашла кассету с мтв лучшей музыки за 90е , ддя меня это был другой мир, он дал мне глоток свежего воздуха, жить в той сложной среде которой я жила.
@@coolcat6303 that's an opinion. Music is better than ever, as you can hear this song whenever you want. could you just pop youtube up back before? if you want some amazing new albums too, heck out, uhhh, i dont know? Nurture - Porter Robinson is a good album, or Time'n'Place by Kero Kero Bonito??? no idea.
popped up on my youtube suggestions. Probably over ten years since last heard this at least. And who knows how long since last seen that video. Still had me singing along and smiling.
Привет из России! Мне 45 лет и я вырос на этой музыке! Вроде жизнь удалась, а всё равно, как накатишь коньячку, скучаешь по нашему счастливому детству!
Мне 37,для меня музыка эта - это глоток свежего воздуха от тяжелых будней 90х. Мне было 5 лет и я была в тяжелой ситуации, мама пила и строила бизнес, папа бил ее при мне. Мне просто хотелось забыться в другом мире.
I saw her do this live in concert many years ago. The ushers wouldn't let us dance in the rows. She brought Emilio out from back stage to say hello. He was too shy. Remember they were married?
Is he the one rapping too, or is that Will Smith? I even choreographed dance routines to this and never noticed how much it sounds like Will Smith on the rap.
. My God, I get gobsmacked every time I hear this. The song is such a work of art ; it's so sublime. The sheer complexity of the song structure, the astonishing vocal range, the off-time beats, her utter mastery of her voice inflections, enunciated just right, and at the right volume level. Awe is not a strong enough word for how I feel.....this is like listening to John Lennon X 2. This was Paula's swan song and a genius-level masterpiece at that. Songs reaching this high a caliber only show up every 50 to 100 years. This is so top shelf. Yes ? We should count ourselves lucky to know the song. This diamond will be studied, dissected, and postulated upon for decades, maybe centuries -- by top thinkers, top audiophiles, and other elite intellectuals who will lift her up high and place her upon a pedestal, as each generation's same upper crust did before them. Kudos, Paula -- you opened our eyes. You pushed the pinnacle, your flag sunk into a new planet , pushing into deep space, the unknown, as if to say, "How you like me now you din-level loser musicians? I took the game to a new galaxy and a new planet. Top that sh*t, love !! " I humbly give praise and thanks to you for gifting upon us this art that we may all peruse for our personal glee and bliss from now until forever. You are a blessing, child. Thanks, again ! .
I was born in 86 and I remember seeing these videos! I attempt to dance at such a young age. I gave mom a hot hearted heart attack with cold hearted snake! Lol!
I was in my early 20's in the 1980's Just got my own apartment, working hard, partying with friends, met my future husband, sooo much fun freedom! :) MTV was revolutionizing the music industry, fresh, new innovative music coming from everywhere... Best time of my Life.
Born in 85, and watched all the cool music videos on MTV, and VH1, back when those channels was worth watching. 80s and 90s music rules. 2000 to now sucks.
Gosh. This brings back so much memories!!!! This would always be playing in the clubs radio and everywhere. This is still one of my favorite songs. Her tap dancing is jaw dropping
I remember this word for word. I was about 12 when my uncle bought me loads of singles on vinyl for my birthday, and this was one of them! Thank you, uncle David. X
Колись, років п'ятнадцять тому, побачив цей кліп на якомусь музикальному каналі, тоді це відео дуже мене зацікавило своєю мультиплікацією. Потім почув цю пісню у Saints Row 4 і з того часу мені дуже подобається ця пісня. Дякую що виклали це відео, та привіт з України
Dancing Legend. Loved this song as a kid, and it's still a bop! Such a fun video! More artists should do this. I didn't appreciate the brilliance of her dancing like I do now. I loved it as a kid, but now I can see how freaking talented she was. Especially on cold hearted snake. The woman is one of the best dancers I have ever seen, and she choreographed pretty much all of the dances in h er videos! Some for Janet Jackson too! Her voice is also so unique. She truly stands out from the rest, even today.
Точно. Я на видике тошиба у кента в Питере на хате в 86 году видел Паолу. Да Было времечко . Телки в шоке были которых в эту хату водили там как в муззее
Не то слово, Абдул тогда порвала всех. Вообще время было интересное и светлое (хоть сейчас официально и принято все беды страны списывать на перестройку и 90-е) - информация лилась со всех сторон, стала доступна литература, музыки и фильмы, потом народ начал массово ездить за границу - от Финляндии до Канар. Мир становился большим и открытым, появились товары (от шмоток до мебели и телефонов). Почему мы от всего этого оскорбились и повернули обратно, в СССР, ума не приложу.
@@ВячеславАлексеев-ж9н может потому, что мои родители тогда лишились работы?

Me and my nan would always sing and dance along whenever this song came on the telly!
Makes me feel nostalgic re-listening. It's not the same since she's no longer here, but I can still enjoy the song.
💕
She still performs.
They mean their dead relative
@@roselynholloway7863 oh, my bad🫣
Sorry about your nan, but glad to hear you have those great memories!
May she rest in peace.
that moment when Paula had it all, she was the one and only!
Enrique Sánchez ...she certainly did have it all. And being cool as she was, she never let it go to her head. No dope scandals, no falls from grace. She dances as she is: Free and talented and out to raise you up just with her being. Success! It worked.
@@jerrymammoser1509 minus a lip sync scandal, addiction to pain killers, a bad reality show and lying about a plane crash
@@jadedemotions9891 Even with all that she never really fell off. She didn’t have a mental breakdown or serious problem, and as for the pain killers I understand that. She was given high doses to correlate with her serious injuries, her doctors should of monitored that more. The lip syncing everyone did it, and Michael Jackson even did it a couple times the same year she was accused so I don’t understand that. She had/has a decent singing voice and tone, and she never lied about the plane crash I’m pretty sure she passed out and didn’t remember certain parts from the crash because of trauma and the brain receptors blurring out certain memories, but hey I could be wrong that’s just what I’ve heard.
she is my favourite person in the impractical jokers movie! I love you Paul Abdul
Paula you’re fabulous! Billboard awards brought me here!!
I’m from the 1980s so this stuff was amazing and so fresh and exciting. Kids today can never know how we paved the way….. especially for a gorgeous talented Paul Abdul to star with a dancing hand drawn cat with swollen feet 😂
me to Rosie
Happy 61st Birthday Paula Abdul 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈
Saints Row helped me discover this years ago & it’s still high on energy & a load of fun. Paula was onto something w/ this gem here.
Also the animation team deserves credit here, for a video from 1988 this still holds up well.
Да ! Мне тогда было 10 и я удивилась и была приятно ошеломлена , что теперь под женщину энергичную танцевать можно . До неё -- только Майкла музыку и неповторимые выкрутасы танцевала ... ну , как получалось. Она -- бриллиант , однозначно !
Клип , который хочется пересматривать , 80-е навсегда в наших сердцах !
молодец

Браток, всю охренительность звука трека только псих сможет объяснить🤣
Андре Мне было 5 лет когда я нашла кассету с мтв лучшей музыки за 90е , ддя меня это был другой мир, он дал мне глоток свежего воздуха, жить в той сложной среде которой я жила.
God! Why can't we have music and music videos like this anymore?
Cuz theres actual high quality production now. And also because not everything is made for kids
@@BigGuy223 Yeah but this new shit doesn't have the flair.
@@badabang. flair of what? It's your taste, not a fact.
@@BigGuy223 Nah, it's a fact. Most of today's music just plain sucks.
@@coolcat6303 that's an opinion. Music is better than ever, as you can hear this song whenever you want. could you just pop youtube up back before? if you want some amazing new albums too, heck out, uhhh, i dont know? Nurture - Porter Robinson is a good album, or Time'n'Place by Kero Kero Bonito??? no idea.
Paula and Janet were the queens of the 80s.
BB Love them and madonna
No it was Donna Summer
Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Tina Turner the real queens of the 80s.
Georgina Hamilton: Donna Summer was from the '70s.
BB Love mere shadows in madonnas hotness at the time! 🙃
She was an instant crush as soon as this came out and I saw it... Amazing woman.
popped up on my youtube suggestions. Probably over ten years since last heard this at least. And who knows how long since last seen that video. Still had me singing along and smiling.
Tom Young same here Amen has been stronger then ever Amen
Wish we had more music videos with toons nowadays!
Yup.
Привет из России! Мне 45 лет и я вырос на этой музыке! Вроде жизнь удалась, а всё равно, как накатишь коньячку, скучаешь по нашему счастливому детству!
I’m glad you had a happy childhood, meanwhile children are being killed by your country 👎🏻
Именно так! Только я под винишко, .....воспоминания
John, you should know better than to make nice comments about Paul Abdul. Syrians should not be allowed on UA-cam. Syria is a known terrorist state.
Мне 37,для меня музыка эта - это глоток свежего воздуха от тяжелых будней 90х. Мне было 5 лет и я была в тяжелой ситуации, мама пила и строила бизнес, папа бил ее при мне. Мне просто хотелось забыться в другом мире.
Happy Birthday Ms.Paula Abdul!!!
Oh wow day after and she looks my twin sister ,love her.❤
What age did she turn though 🤔? And she still looks good from the pics I've seen.
She did all the chorography, all the dancing, all the singing, minus the rapping of course. Talent much? 😁
I saw her do this live in concert many years ago. The ushers wouldn't let us dance in the rows. She brought Emilio out from back stage to say hello. He was too shy. Remember they were married?
Anyone else here just because they're really old and remember the song from when they were a kid? :(
Hehe, I'm and old furry, so naturally the video dates back to when I was a kid, and the anthro cat is something that I just like.
I'm here from saints row 4
I'm actually here because I just found out by some site that this was the #1 song on the day I was born hahahaha
yes
Yh me
BTW, MC Skat Kat is alive and well and works at Minnesota Public Radio
I KNEW IT!!!!
I thougt he got the janitor job in the cia where stan works😂
I feel thrilled to know, MC Skat Kat is great
Is he the one rapping too, or is that Will Smith? I even choreographed dance routines to this and never noticed how much it sounds like Will Smith on the rap.
Nevermind, I found it. Vocals by Bruce DeShazer and Marv Gunn, also known as The Wild Pair. Rap was provided by Derrick "Delite" Stevens
Excellente vidéo de la part de cet artiste féminin !
génial composition!!! génial!!!
Doesn't matter how old it is because everytime listening again feels like !!! N E W !!!
. My God, I get gobsmacked every time I hear this. The song is such a work of art ; it's so sublime. The sheer complexity of the song structure, the astonishing vocal range, the off-time beats, her utter mastery of her voice inflections, enunciated just right, and at the right volume level. Awe is not a strong enough word for how I feel.....this is like listening to John Lennon X 2.
This was Paula's swan song and a genius-level masterpiece at that. Songs reaching this high a caliber only show up every 50 to 100 years. This is so top shelf. Yes ? We should count ourselves lucky to know the song.
This diamond will be studied, dissected, and postulated upon for decades, maybe centuries -- by top thinkers, top audiophiles, and other elite intellectuals who will lift her up high and place her upon a pedestal, as each generation's same upper crust did before them.
Kudos, Paula -- you opened our eyes. You pushed the pinnacle, your flag sunk into a new planet , pushing into deep space, the unknown, as if to say, "How you like me now you din-level loser musicians? I took the game to a new galaxy and a new planet. Top that sh*t, love !! "
I humbly give praise and thanks to you for gifting upon us this art that we may all peruse for our personal glee and bliss from now until forever. You are a blessing, child. Thanks, again !

I mean it's very cool music video with awesome classic animation and fun pop music but it's not that legendary
@@seronymusHe’s joking lol
@@Strika_713 NO WAY!!!! 💀 😩😖😳🤤🎃 :o >_>
please tell me what breed and/or breeds that dog is
I was 2 years old when this beautiful song came out in 1988. What a great decade of music. Where's all my 80s born babies at👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃😃😃😃
I was 4 years old. Whoop for the 80’s kids! 😊
1989 actually. It dropped in the Mid Summer.
I was born in 86 and I remember seeing these videos! I attempt to dance at such a young age. I gave mom a hot hearted heart attack with cold hearted snake! Lol!
I was in my early 20's in the 1980's Just got my own apartment, working hard, partying with friends, met my future husband, sooo much fun freedom! :) MTV was revolutionizing the music industry, fresh, new innovative music coming from everywhere... Best time of my Life.
I was 10. You can see how this would have been for a 10 year old!
Born in 85, and watched all the cool music videos on MTV, and VH1, back when those channels was worth watching. 80s and 90s music rules. 2000 to now sucks.
Gosh. This brings back so much memories!!!! This would always be playing in the clubs radio and everywhere. This is still one of my favorite songs. Her tap dancing is jaw dropping
I always loved Paula! I miss the 80s so much! My kid/teen years
Susie Moonwalker i would love in that time but im too young still hoping we have something sick then i can say i remember my days😄
This is much more 90s than 80s even though it's from 89
the end of 89 went to #1 in 1990
Susie Moonwalker
Agree
I remember this word for word. I was about 12 when my uncle bought me loads of singles on vinyl for my birthday, and this was one of them! Thank you, uncle David. X
Your uncle david seems like a ver swell guy
I remember when I was younger and saw this video on tv,I just fall in love with her❤❤❤
Love her Choreography still to this day. 🏹
Nice one. Alicia how are you doing today?
I am well
@@aliciashipe3979 it’s nice to meet you here. Where are you from?

This song gets me moving feel that old school energy flowing
Just woke up with nostalgia from the 80's and 90's haven't danced this much in a long while
@@skkylotus it's a good feeling and great exercise
400 years later and I still love this song:)
Last I checked, 1988 wasn't near 400 years ago.
@@MrParkerman6 that man is from the future
Same, I was like 6 ish listening to this lol. I was born in 85. Nostalgia is killing me. Some days I'd give anything to go back 😪
Kp wtf
He a bit confused but he got the spirit
Колись, років п'ятнадцять тому, побачив цей кліп на якомусь музикальному каналі, тоді це відео дуже мене зацікавило своєю мультиплікацією. Потім почув цю пісню у Saints Row 4 і з того часу мені дуже подобається ця пісня.
Дякую що виклали це відео, та привіт з України
Dancing Legend. Loved this song as a kid, and it's still a bop! Such a fun video! More artists should do this. I didn't appreciate the brilliance of her dancing like I do now. I loved it as a kid, but now I can see how freaking talented she was. Especially on cold hearted snake. The woman is one of the best dancers I have ever seen, and she choreographed pretty much all of the dances in h er videos! Some for Janet Jackson too! Her voice is also so unique. She truly stands out from the rest, even today.
Hi Lavely! How are you doing today?
@TIFFANEE LAVELU✨HAVING FUN ALL OF OUR LIVES. KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL THAT'S ✨OPPOSITES. ATTRACT✨ 🎼🎼TOO CUTE. HEY WHAT'S WITH THAT😻💥🔥🔥🔥
i really want this song to get known more BECAUSE ITS SO GOOD AND IT HAS THE POTENTIAL AHHH
It was #1 on the billboard charts for 3 weeks. Her entire Album was a huge success. #ForeverYourGirl
while you're at it, why don't you try and get this cool new singer named Michael Jackson more known, he has some good songs too
@@varunp8065 i had a Michael jackson phase, but my taste always changes. i like red hot chilli peppers at the moment. theyre amazing too.
Это был чуть ли не самый первый клип такого рода на постсоветском телевидении! Ох и бомбанул он в своё время!
Рисовка как у Тома и Джерри, я вырос на этом.. люблю это
Точно. Я на видике тошиба у кента в Питере на хате в 86 году видел Паолу. Да Было времечко . Телки в шоке были которых в эту хату водили там как в муззее
Не то слово, Абдул тогда порвала всех. Вообще время было интересное и светлое (хоть сейчас официально и принято все беды страны списывать на перестройку и 90-е) - информация лилась со всех сторон, стала доступна литература, музыки и фильмы, потом народ начал массово ездить за границу - от Финляндии до Канар. Мир становился большим и открытым, появились товары (от шмоток до мебели и телефонов). Почему мы от всего этого оскорбились и повернули обратно, в СССР, ума не приложу.
@@ВячеславАлексеев-ж9н может потому, что мои родители тогда лишились работы? Про какие телефоны ты говоришь, когда у нас до начала нулевых стоял рекорд 308-й чёрно-белый, в виду отсутствия возможности покупки чего-либо более современного?)) Потом только купили цветной, за 5 тысяч рублей в кредит на два года.
@@ВячеславАлексеев-ж9н Какое классное время! Все было, только купить не на что👍😁
This is officially the coolest video ever made. PAULA is awesome. When I was little I used to think that the cartoons were real and she was actually dancing with them. Am I the only one who thought so?
First song my dad heard in his brand new 1990 Mustang GT with an 8 track booster system. I imagine the nostalgia now!
