The lead singer (guy in purple singing falsetto) was gay and died of AIDS a few years after this cut. I don't think the rest of the group was gay. Cameo was always pushing the line of overt sexuality. They were a funk jam band that adopted party attire, similar to Rick James, and the Ohio Players.
If you ask me this was Cameo at its best. I mean...how funky is this? Too funky! I believe that they were much better as a big group when they were hungry but isn't that how it usually is? What did he say? I like it tonight, cause that's when my body feels just right. Get your party on!
Cameo was at the top of their game here. Knights of the Sound Table was one baddest albums of that time. Yes, I said albums...I'm in the 50's club, so I remember the wax. I've embraced cd's, of course. They're cool. Can't have new without old.
All I know is that the fruit baskety meat lover pizza Debarge lookin ass nigga on lead vocals has the baddest voice of any funk group I have ever heard in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MazyMagillicutty - Kniguh slap yourself....that sh!t was funny. They must have smoked some IKKABOD KRANE before they sueezed into those rainbow condoms they wearing
1:35 - when the groove, the breakdown, the horns, the vamp vocals, and the lead vocals all come together - straight fire. Wish I could have been in the studio when that happened for the first time. They probably went crazy.
Prime example how they make niggas be all gay to have a career in entertainment. Look at these fools, who I love by the way, then look at these rappers today doin all kinda gay shit. It's the Hollywood Gay Mafia in action. It's all ancient Greece really. That's how it operates.
@producer4real Your right Brotha but what can we do the Gay movement is just that on the move but what i wish is that they would show how a Gay lifestyle ends, I have seen 2 people already die of aids and it is not a pretty sight.
@producer4real, dont hate the players, hate the game. rappers are only hustling to make money... which is legit. if a gay man can sing and make money, more power to him. I've seen your video @producer4real, dude, dont quit your day job... if you have one. uncle tom.
@digidocto Idiot I'm not talking about gay men I'm talking about straight men forced to adopt gay mannerisms and ways. It is also legit to sodomize and ritually abuse a child if you're powerful enough in this world. Is that okay too? Moron!
@producer4real, who gives a crap if they are gay, you dont have to make an issue about it dumb shit... its good music,, stay out of people personal lives.. you say,"adopt gay mannerisms" dude, you take this too far. no need to drop the "N" word.. you keep using that word, people on here are gonna abuse it here, if not already being done thanks to you.. keep race, and gay comments out of here.. nipwit...
@producer4real I dont know when you were born but they werent forced to look gay to have a career. I came up in the 80's and was born in the 70's GAY was the look lol. I had family members (male) who wore make up and got ALOT of women. but I do agree with you about todays young men. When did tight jeans on boys come back in style?
I don't understand why they have to be seen as gay. Cats can wear w/e they want. Womyn be shakin all kinda ass in videos, maybe they wanted the ladies to have something to look at! I bet it worked! PS, Cameo is the shit!
bands were complete, they were artists & the music and lyrics mattered. Many a backyard party jammed out to this and many other groups of the day, black, white, rock or soul fast or slow, bass meant bass guitar!!! cameosis baby!!!!! Just for the record, I do believe some information about some of the group's members being gay came out some years ago... they did transform in the mid-late 80s to get away from those types of costumes :)
bands were complete, they were artists & the music and lyrics mattered. Many a backyard party jammed out to this and many other groups of the day, black, white, rock or soul fast or slow, bass meant bass guitar!!! cameosis baby!!!!!
THEY WERE FINE AS HELL IN THEM DAMN JUMP SUITS AND LAWD KNOWS THEY WERE SHAKING ALL THEY MAMMA GAVE THEM FROM FRONT TO BACK....MISS THESE DAYS......60'S BABY
This is around the time that music videos were just making it on the cene now imagine these guys watching this video of themselves now,,,,,Just f__kn proud of themselves i bet ! !
Nothing against today music...But this is some the SHYT that got it all started!!
Men don't have camel toe.....thats a women's thing. HOMOPHOBIA wasn't such a big thing then. Men were more secure and didn't even trip it! Nobody takes anybody sound 'COMMERCIAL" music changes and a new craz hits the waves ....THAT SHOW BIZ!! There's always somebody coming out which may set a trend that continues. ENJOY THE MUSIC! Don't try and break it down to science...
this is the early 80s not 70s. And this wasn't completely average, their outfits and mannerisms are a little funny even for then. It's basically early 80s funk taken to a higher level off that flashy era it's known for.
If you're on of those people that are just gone post ''haha this is sooo gay'' then go hang yourself.
For some reason when I hear the part of the song that starts at 2:54, I think of the band Chic. Does anybody else? Also, is there anyone else here think it's a little too much hair to be wearing such outfits?
This is a sexy, sexy video. I'm going to find out if Larry and band are/were gay. I wish the brothers today were "gay." They have really disappointed the race with the garbage aka hip hop music of the last 20 or so. I mean besides Eminem. He's a good rapper:)
@versbamfam ..............My GOD......I'm not gay either. But who cares who's gay today? So what! If you think of how we have been hated for hundreds of years as African-Americans.........it SHOULD be that much easier NOT to hate anyone for whom they are!!!!!!!!! The World is so much bigger than just our Black community! See the World....I have!
Until rappers start playing instruments, don't refer to them as musicians or bands! This is a BAND that played MUSIC! Music that inspired something other than killing, raping, and drug dealing. Thank you!
i dont see why people think its gay to shake their pants....its justtt the way they think..i mean its a happyy video they shakin their pants cz they happy and they're havinn fun and in my opinion the song is AWESOME! and its old school..and to be honest....new school is nothing compared to old school. wish it could come back. anyway...funny video good song love the music =D
GREAT MUSIC FROM A GREAT BAND. R&B(RHYTHM AND BALLADS). THOSE 70'S JUMP SUITS WERE WHACK, BUT THE DANCE STEPS IN THIS VIDEO IS UNMANLY AND DOWN RIGHT EMBARRASSMENT. CAMEO BUTT WIGGLINGLY IS.... OH WELL, I'M GLAD THEIR 80'S STEPS WAS MORE MANLY.
as a LIFELONG Cameo fan all i can say is tihs was a whole different time & era. with the exception of the falsetto dude (who has ALWAYS been suspect lol) these dudes kept the party rollin' and chicks (including my aunts) LOOOOVED these dudes! Gay or not they had everything it took to make them top notch draws on any bill. of course The Time came along shortly afterwards and shut the whole unitard/onesie sparkly outfit shit down LOL! Thank God! hahaha
Back then, a straight man could wear tight pants and shake his behind but he could not wear an ear-ring. But now, a straight man can wear ear-rings but cannot wear tight pants and shake his behind. Interesting. Nevertheless, this was good music and entertainment.
@Msredhoney720 hahahahahahHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH OH AND MORE AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA..BUT IT'S STILL BETTER THEN LIL WHO EVRS MUSIC..WHICHC SOUNDS LIKE A FROG FARTING THROUGH A STRAW...HAHAHAHAHAHHAH
this is not right.. way too much shaking.. I felt uncomfortable watching this. seems this group is borderline with the village people. Love the song.. nothing against the village people... dont know what to think...
@artbabylove who can sit still or just stand still like a statue when good music is playing? When I hear good music my body moves automatically. I am not trying to be rude but you must be very very young. Also, the Village People did not or could not dance.
@msmillievanili, the song is awesome. Brings back memories, but. First time seeing the video.. All I'm saying, too much shaking going on for a dude to watch.. Just a guy point of view. No pun intended.
@marblehillpjs pitbull being a dj, definitely plays keyboard. probably a lot more. just because the music is crap, doesn't mean they aren't talented. and i'm not sure about chris brown. but he is a VERY talented dancer. and sure he's heavily inspired from Michael Jackson but that doesn't mean he isn't talented. everybody has an inspiration.
@marblehillpjs and they have both set the standard for a lot of modern R&B and techno. so they are quite new and origional. so don't go pulling unjustified statements out of thin air. again, i don't really like their music, but that does NOT mean they aren't talented. try listening to music from this generation with an open mind
@Ubermatronlives i understand what your saying and trust me i'm not one of those crotchety old guys that puts down the new generations music. But honestly Chris brown's and pit bull's music isn't really original. I like Chris's music ( just not his attitude ) and listen to it a lot but he's not doing anything original. Pit bull is OK but he's really not original at all. It's hard to be original with decades of R&B and rap music on the books.
@wizfanam92 wow really ? it's never a good look when you resort to name calling. btw ti don't think they were original back then either. but that's awhile back for me to remember ;)
Some of the younger generation just simply don't understand and therefore can't appreciate real music...raw talent...creativity. They are used to seeing rappers and a keyboard. We used to have Horns blowing and the same hornplayers singing lead and background and Dancing their butts off. Those were truly the days. SHOW SOME APPRECIATION FOR THOSE WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR THE NEW GENERATION...A LOT OF PREP WENT INTO PERFOMANCES BACK IN THE DAY. LATER.....OLD SKOOL
@lancasterlane thank you!!!!! the younger generation don't know that that groups like this are in the music that they listen to because of sampling. they need to take the time & find out about the music & I do mean music from this era which i'm so glad that was apart of my childhood.
don't hate the players hate the game! gay? cameo? I don't think so. who ever think that shit must have a question about their own man hood! the lady's like it when U can shake that ass! CAMEO 4 life motherfucker's!
I know dudes showing camel toes in leotards is not a good look but its all about the music. Wayne Cooper, Tomi Jenkins and Anthony Lockett are killing on the harmony. The Leftenant brothers and dude are blasting the horns. Aaron Mills is thumpin that bass. My man Greg is working it out on the mini-moog with Larry on the drums. They all could be wearing turtlenecks, courdoroys and hushpuppies, the music would still be funky. It wouldn't make a difference to me..lol.
Anybody questioning the sexuality in this video have to realize the 70's was a different era and totaly okay for a man to shake his ass wiithout question. Anyways straight or gay it's fuckin' awesome music and I wish it would return!
@Gfabichiban There is a difference between shaking it and 'shake shake shakin' it like some of them are doing in this video. Cameo is awesome, but the majority, if not all of them were gay guys!
You are full of the stinkiest pile of shit......no way did men go around in the 70's and shake their ass like that. I call foul and bullshit on your claim. Hell everyone likes Cameo that came to view the video but there is no way in hell this isn't as gay as Richard Simmons fucking Liberace in the ass
Go watch any other video from bands and groups from the 70's and not a one was shaking their asses like this, bullshit, this is gay even the mannerisms by the singer in the purple is terribly gay!!!!
@1980Triumph watch some of Heatwave videos ....they Gay alright happy as HECK to be have accomplished success!! AND the song is called SHAKE YOUR PANTS!!
@CAB4SHO You can only mention Heatwave and you are talking about Johnny. I agree he has some ways about him, but that doesn't change that most if not all groups didn't act and perform this way. You are talking about one guy from one group. Name any others.
@1980Triumph .....Yo Dude.....please see my comment to @versbamfam . Brothas need to GROW the F#CK UP! As long as you do you and let them do them....It's all PEACE Baby! I guess I am offended as this was my ERA of music. Excuse Meeeeeeeee! But regardless. Gay folks seem to be just regular folks with a different preference. So what!
This video is so funny to me...to see these guys shaking there butts the way they are....Make me think they are gay for real....But I love the song and video cause it makes me laugh so much.....lmao

@padilla617 what instruments do pitbull and chris brown play ? exactly.
marblehillpjs 5 months ago
@marblehillpjs pitbull being a dj, definitely plays keyboard. probably a lot more. just because the music is crap, doesn't mean they aren't talented. and i'm not sure about chris brown. but he is a VERY talented dancer. and sure he's heavily inspired from Michael Jackson but that doesn't mean he isn't talented. everybody has an inspiration.

@padilla617 there's nothing new or original about chris brown or pitbull. try listening to music beyond your generation.
marblehillpjs 5 months ago
@marblehillpjs and they have both set the standard for a lot of modern R&B and techno. so they are quite new and origional. so don't go pulling unjustified statements out of thin air. again, i don't really like their music, but that does NOT mean they aren't talented. try listening to music from this generation with an open mind
Ubermatronlives 5 months ago
@Ubermatronlives i understand what your saying and trust me i'm not one of those crotchety old guys that puts down the new generations music. But honestly Chris brown's and pit bull's music isn't really original. I like Chris's music ( just not his attitude ) and listen to it a lot but he's not doing anything original. Pit bull is OK but he's really not original at all. It's hard to be original with decades of R&B and rap music on the books.

@Ubermatronlives even Cameo wasn't original at the time.

Some of the younger generation just simply don't understand and therefore can't appreciate real music...raw talent...creativity. They are used to seeing rappers and a keyboard. We used to have Horns blowing and the same hornplayers singing lead and background and Dancing their butts off. Those were truly the days. SHOW SOME APPRECIATION FOR THOSE WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR THE NEW GENERATION...A LOT OF PREP WENT INTO PERFOMANCES BACK IN THE DAY. LATER.....OLD SKOOL

@lancasterlane thank you!!!!! the younger generation don't know that that groups like this are in the music that they listen to because of sampling. they need to take the time & find out about the music & I do mean music from this era which i'm so glad that was apart of my childhood.

I know dudes showing camel toes in leotards is not a good look but its all about the music. Wayne Cooper, Tomi Jenkins and Anthony Lockett are killing on the harmony. The Leftenant brothers and dude are blasting the horns. Aaron Mills is thumpin that bass. My man Greg is working it out on the mini-moog with Larry on the drums. They all could be wearing turtlenecks, courdoroys and hushpuppies, the music would still be funky. It wouldn't make a difference to me..lol.

@Gfabichiban There is a difference between shaking it and 'shake shake shakin' it like some of them are doing in this video. Cameo is awesome, but the majority, if not all of them were gay guys!

You are full of the stinkiest pile of shit......no way did men go around in the 70's and shake their ass like that. I call foul and bullshit on your claim.

@CAB4SHO You can only mention Heatwave and you are talking about Johnny. I agree he has some ways about him, but that doesn't change that most if not all groups didn't act and perform this way. You are talking about one guy from one group. Name any others.

@luv2bmore TODAY'S generation is like the 40s..too conservative....there was so much more freedom in the 70s and early 80s..
Nobody got judged by the way the moved their body or dressed in pink flared pants..cuz it was hot then.
Now, you show a slight hint of being free with something, you're judged in a second..even to the point of your sexual orientation which sickens me..
Hence you think these guys look ''gay''
