Olivia Newton John & The Tubes - "Dancin'" 1980

[htxsara]

What y'all know about this? Lol

[sparkkyone]

Actually, this movie has now gone to cult status and the remastered version in 5.1 surround is fantastic! An original music for the time.

[cinemusekitty]

It's awesome to see The Tubes actually as The Tubes

[RideHanna]

Nice to see Olivia perform this track as in the movie they had a stand in. Although the film was badly written it had it's moments, and the performance of these two tracks is awesome and classic!

[Yannisastra]

OMG wonderful memories!! Excellent!!!!

[thalliadruid]

For the time, good mix of trying to attract the parents and the kids. Did it succeed? No because most people forgot it. But where are the Tubes now?

[blachubear]

@thalliadruid Oh really. This was the first mashup but the song is(or should I say was) an original, so was the idea too. And you say it didn't work to attract no one? I disagree. Go type in Groove Armada "At The River" in the search box then listen to it. Then after that go type Patti Page "Cape Cod". I wonder where Groove Armada got the idea from? "Glee" does this too, not as perfectly as Olivia & The Tubes but you get the picture. So this was way ahead of it's time.

[storylady]

michael beck was a total miscast, apart from that i liked the movie

[LadyGalyn]

Another one of my fave bits from the movie. Xanadu is just a really fun lil movie.

[RockPaperScissor62]

YIKES lol

[erinkwalsh]

fraud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jampat1964]

Andrews Sisters or Maguire Sisters?

[Tinkerbelleshollow]

@jampat1964 Andrew Sisters

[DMV444]

@jampat1964 That's Olivia in 3 different wigs.

[CLAUDIAINXS]

ESTOY MUY FELIZ DE PODER ESCUCHAR Y VER ESTO OTRA VEZ, SOLO LO VI EN LA PELI "XANADU". ME PARECE FANTASTICA LA CANCION Y LA UNION DE LOS DOS RITMOS, DE GENERACIONES MUSICALES. GRACIAS!!

[009fleuramour]

ME ENCANTARÌA QUE "THE BACK EYED PEAS" HICIERAN UNA NUEVA VERSIÒN DE ESTA CANCIÒN.

[kpix99]

This is just fun. Enjoy it. I do.

[hotblooded6]

The 40'sGlenn Miller Rock'n'Roll and the begining of the80'sRock which Robert Greenwald "the director" who of course belong to 40's failed to give the glamour legendary appearence of " ROCK "! with the tubes !!!! but the film still my beautifull dream !

[laminage]

Hey did you ever see Justin Timberlake`s Senorita Video. There`s a Sax Player but there was no Saxophone on the song.

[Velocity9s]

@laminage Actually, I you listen for it you CAN hear the sax playing along with the horns.

[tallguy3708]

Anyone notice that Prairie Prince doesn't have any drumsticks?

[siouxsielover88]

i fucking love this song!

[saraphinn]

holy sheet cab I love this band more?

[rarobins17]

Talk about music genre fusion!  This is GREAT!

[laminage]

@rarobins17 You are absolutely right. The reason why I mentioned the Blond, Brunette, & Redhead was because Christina also dressed like one in The Candyman Video. This was quite amazing, and for some reason I could see Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys doing something like this.

[laminage]

I had another thought. I wonder if Christina Aguilera was inspired by this Clip when she did Candyman where she dressed up like a Blond, Brunette, and Redhead.

[DJhiphouse]

@laminage Well actually, Christina was inspired by the real team of " The Andrew Sisters " . Who sang in the 1940's for the USO. Look up on You Tube, Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.

[laminage]

@DJhiphouse You`re so right about that. God where does the time go.

[hrthrb]

Does this qualify as an early (the earliest?) mashup like we see on Glee?

[laminage]

@hrthrb Absolutely. I stayed up until 2:00 to watch this performance. Xanadu didn't do well at the Box Office but it is a Cult Classic. Hey did you know that Kenny Ortega worked on this Movie way before he worked with Michael Jackson.

[marilyn80s]

@hrthrb That is so funny.  I just said the same thing yesterday!! Great minds think alike!

[blachubear]

@hrthrb Exactly. But this is much better than Glee. This was original back in 1980.

[ez2me2009]

Excellent! First time I see this!

[Blackheartrises]

3 Olivia Newton Johns, uh hmmmm damn need a smoke be right back, lol

[muckypops]

Love this song.... great mash-up

[cliffdvr]

Wow. I remember seeing this during The Midnight Special 30 years ago. I had forgotten that this video wasn't in the movie (though the song was). Talk about a flashback!

[Tinkeralch1]

@cliffdvr LOL that's where I remember seeing it.. On the Midnight Special... I remember when seeing it I thought. "cool..." lol I'm totally surprised that the vid is still out there lol

[hahamantuh]

i heard this song and it reminds me of when i was a little girl and watched the movie for the first time. i liked that song alot.

[BOBBY1976100]

This is great but all three Olivias still can't dance!

[MissNophi2U]

HOLY SH!T THERE WAS A VIDEO! I ♡ this.

[PariNicole]

Horrid movie but a damn fantastic soundtrack ELO, Cliff Richards, Olivia Newton-John and even Gene kelly.

[simpleplanfan1513]

@PariNicole So, the movie was a little tacky.

But Its a cult classic! Definitely the highlight of my childhood :)

[rarobins17]

@simpleplanfan1513  I did not think it was tacky, but definitely something different than the typical back in the 80's/

[marilyn80s]

@rarobins17 I highly concur!

[MissNophi2U]

@PariNicole you mean especially gene kelly

[JOHNNYWALKERDVD]

@PariNicole i love whole XANADU.. even the movie... ^^

[SueSnell]

OMG. What is this FROM? It sounds like the same soundtrack. ?

[blachubear]

@SueSnell "Xanadu" soundtrack. Not a great movie but amazing soundtrack.

[SueSnell]

@blachubear - I meant the clip, not the music. :)
