Double - Devils Ball, feat. Herb Alpert (Official Video)

[asecommex]

Que sonido!!!

[bigblockelectra]

is faust 3 a good book?

[ravenna2003]

AWESOME

[TheMate01]

One of the best songs ever made. Kurt Maloo and Felix Haug.

[ScratchOnScratch]

It's autumn in my heart again

And a little bit of hell in my soul

I'm looking for a place to go

Where all my devils won't have a ball_________

I'll take my head high above the clouds

Off the ground and far away from doubts

Where the world below looks pale

And where the right way is just a narrow trail________

[masterkid4u]

I love this song and the video is amazing!! when Pop music was solid gold!!!! and featring Herb Alpert on trumpets!!! WOWWW!!

[MyMiguelh]

tema que programan en estereo 100 radio de mexico df.

[wendileona]

YouTube is the new MTV. Just make your own playlists like I have and put in on full screen and go to town! You're the program director!

[ghicaccatta]

mai saputo che ci fosse il grande Alpert...anche se adesso, sentendolo, il suo tocco alla tromba è riconoscibilissimo....indiment­icabile brano, comunque!

[froufroufoxes]

I LOVE everything about the music and the video. Thank you Double!

[SGGTHIGH]

lamentablemente en mi país (chile) no hay disponible un dvd greatest hits videos y no se si kumaloo tiene en proyecto uno.. sería espectacular para mi colección ochentera.. siempre he considerado a double como un estilo muy particular de ellos.

[Assiaemy]

il video e' magnifico ...

[amicinsieme02]

How I love this song!!!!

è tanto dolce e tanto heavy metal!!!

[matkokalac1]

sorry mate,

of course they played great music!

[theschizoidman]

MTV no longer exists. What is on that network, globally, has no connection to the once great music channel. It is merely a shopping channel for morons. Stop watching it, and it will go away and maybe, just maybe a real music channel will return in its place.

[cderob2122]

A lovely song! brilliant music video and well made! : )

[matthias66]

man, this is one whacky music video.

[XXXxxDarkMa08xxXXX]

Is the maximum,Double !!!!

[elvindmx]

De este grupo solo habia oido la cancio Captain of her heart y al oir todo el repertorio de canciones me pregunto como no llegaron a ser grandes de la epoca.... Esta cancion es indiscutiblemente una pieza de arte.

[XXXxxDarkMa08xxXXX]

@elvindmx Te apoyo amigo,no sé como no llegaron más allá,cuando son geniales.A pesar de todo,siempre se mantendrán en nuestros recuerdos,deleitandonos con sus melodías,en especial esta,salu2 man.

Lyrics:

And a little bit of hell in my soul

I'm looking for a place to go

Where all my devils won't have a ball

I'll take my head high above the clouds

Off the ground and far away from doubts

Where the world below looks pale

And where the right way is just a narrow trail

[charkiman]

great track!

[kimranchik]

seriously.... no, but seriously why today's music sucks, 80s are only removed by 2 decades from today, not such a long time, but boy how sucky is the current crap they are dishing out on mtv it's unbelievable. this gem by double alone is worth all of contemporary musical works put together.

[G0BLIN1000]

there are seven bitter people...

[duconducon2]

The best of Swiss ' music

[Nza420]

0:59 ... looks like the ears of all the guys on those MMA shows xD

[SlushPile]

Just downloaded this. It's an amazing song - the music , the lyrics and a great video. Incredibly sexy too..

[CrystaJoy]

Thanks Kurt, you are the definition of quintessential sexiness!

[haseding]

Wunderbares Lied

[TMBlackCat]

so good song :))

[MrKallai65]

Kurt this very best actor, very cool videoclip and great song.Thanks!

[JohnnyIP777]

Please people, it's ok, the video in full on retard, and the head singer has a weak voice. That is why they never got huge, although I must admit being a Trumpeteer, they do an all right job. Captain of Her Heart, however, is MUCH MUCH betta!

[hector69ize]

Very COOL song with the right use of the trumpet. I think they were influenced by Herb Albert nice touch.

[59805000]

Great SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NacodaLupine]

Amazing song, amazing duo, all around AMAZING!

Hey, does anyone else think of Twin Peaks while watching this? Or is that just me ;)

[csabalog73]

Still one of the best pop song ever.Kurt has a fantastic voice.

[JumpStreet1983]

Kurt, you & Felix were truly underrated for your time and should have been MUCH bigger in the 80's. Felix could play a mean piano, and you have one of the most beautiful male voices on the planet. Thank you for the memories, and I consider myself lucky that I'm an 80's child and heard Double around the house growing up. You were ahead of your time, and "Devil's Ball" sounds like it could have been made in 2010!

[Hallyday70]

Great Song , Great Video with the Theatre Group Mumenschanz

[jangsofi]

muy buena cancion....sinplemente hermosa

[stefop72]

stile inconfondibile degli anni 80.......io c'ero......

[chuckshuldiner84]

bellissima ! peccato che già nel 1989 si erano sciolti avrebbero fatto cose eccezionali.

[Joker4232]

Best double song besides Captain!!!!!!!

[blase410]

Thanks Kurt for such an enchanting song. It gives me goose bumps!

[PsyJunk]

the video is one of a kind...truely awsome and really symbolical...I love it so

[Fliying6]

Great and fantastic Song, Felix RIP

[txfantastic]

i did not know this was theirs song . not only their songs are great but the video clips are excellent . they were real artists

[gunbuck7]

So classy. Love it.

[NotQuarex]

This song is so amazingly good. I have probably listened to/watched this a hundred times since discovering it, and I still come back for more.

[H3Babe]

I don't consider this band a "one-hit wonder". I love every song they've done. Definitely a favorite of mine. Thanks so much for posting. Truly enjoy your music!

[homerolopez075]

this came out in 1987! 23 years ago!

[MoosicandCritters]

LOL at Felix at the end of the video! How cute, RIP Felix.

[nelsonprovoste]

genial gran clasico,esto si es musica

[homerolopez075]

very good memories with this video...fantastic!

[slaphaddalztick]

I heard this song for the first and only time back in 1990 whilst sitting in a cafe in Santiago, Chile, and fell in love with it but I didn't know who it was, and I have searched for it ever since. Then this morning, I couldn't believe what I was hearing on the radio!! I breathlessly stood, waiting for the song to finish... " Devil's Ball by Double", said the DJ, as my memories of that cafe came flooding back. My long wait is over....WHAT A SONG!!!

[RaffaeleMartinoni]

@slaphaddalztick

really nice story....I like double as well but this LP was very bad sold - more or less the dead for Double

[fmla1984]

@slaphaddalztick

omg! 20 years of waiting!

[Mattyuk1]

Lovely dx7 bass in background!!

[azzkeeker]

Try to listen to this at dawn... it's awesome!!

[GUSSPATAGONIA]

Genial!!

[teawanga]

wow this is a cracker. cheers for posting

[NotQuarex]

Hmm, what would I rather hear on the radio? Nickelback, or Double's "Devils Ball?" It pains me how great this is, and how I never heard it until today.

[allsopman]

it's brilliant, is'nt it?

[deepstinger]

Esta canción me produce una sensación profunda, (padezco TLP), ver el cielo nublado lejano, con los sentimientos disfóricos, o sintiendo emociones o sensaciones sublimes, en la profundidad de mi pensamiento. I HAVE BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER AND I FEEL DEEP EMOTIONS WITH THIS SONG (TRUE LOVE, FAR SUNSET WITH THE STARS), AND I AM ALONE, I CAN´T SHARE THAT SENSATIONS WITH A GIRL

[Nza420]

@deepstinger share the emotions with Handgela or Palmela.  Take it from me, the twins will never turn your heart inside-out...

[dontillman]

@deepstinger Translation (from Google) : This song gives me a deep feeling (I suffer from BPD), see the cloudy sky far, with dysphoric feelings, emotions or sensations or feeling sublime, deep in my mind.

------------------

There are many other with similar disorders. You do not need to exactly match to find someone. Sometimes bi-polars mesh with folks who have ADD (attention deficit disorder) or other bi-polars. Both need to be diagnosed.

BTW: Bi-polar disorder not = borderline personality.



[Collen82]

grande canzone Kurt

hugs

Alessandro

[80sjazz]

New Kurt Maloo album "Summer Of Better Times" out now on iTunes and Amazon. (US/Can November 24th)

[jimdivax]

First time hearing this...Very amtmospheric. They definitely had a SOUND. 'Lounge' with a Euro-Art twist. Deserved more recognition

[kunjtantok]

Alpert meets Double and the result is a Haunting Jazzy instrumental showcase. It should have been a top hit in the U.S. the video is great especially for the 1980's.

[Dudongo86]

This was the song I was looking for!!!! Years without knowing the name of it, I mean I know it was from Double but not the song. Awesome song!!!!!!!!!! There is a longer version I can"t find.

[ohioplayer83]

Damn, music was great back in this era. Miss them days

[slowdownsundown]

stunning absolutely magic

[froufroufoxes]

yeah, beautiful! Thank you for sharing it!

[edgarocs]

This mtv also reminds me of Mang Dolphys old movies Emong Satanachia and Blak Madyik(asmodeus-alastor-lilith­)related aside from Supernatural tv series with Sam and Dean in John Lennon's and Robert Johnsons's case. A music masterpiece research.==tbc==....

[au05232003]

this is probably one of the weirdest videos I've ever seen......but musically speaking the lyrics and instrumentals are genius!!!!

[pachanka11]

is it a violin solo ???

[visualkei72]

i'm pretty sure it is.. they might even be segwaying between guitar at the start of the solo into violin solo.

this song reminds me of Castlevania's Symphony of the Night.

chilling amazing song.

[DeckardPooley]

amazing song...

[VoilaMsViola]

This is such an amazing song. Kurt, when I am stressed out or I just need some "smoothness" in my life - I listen to this song. You and Felix are hotties [even though Felix is in Heaven now :) ]

[edgarocs]

Read "The Lennon Prophecy" book. This song is akin to John Lennon's and Robert Johnson's case in the Supernatural tv series.==tbc==....

[Valovka1]

Great music, great clip, great "Mummenschanz, and the brilliant idea to invite Herb Alpert! His trumpet form an amazing atmosphere...

[parachuteclubbed]

Magnificent.

[pjimenez1971]

strange video, but really nice music, great band!!

[BrightWave]

Awesome song. Kurt and Felix were terrific!

[varadioxbon]

By the way, this is a pretty song but the its creepy music video and the instruments degrades it!

[matkokalac1]

Maybe you should stick to Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, love

[JIM2oob]

Anything with the name 'Devil's Ball' might be expected to be a little 'creepy' but the video's very brilliantly done in a 'Surrealist' genre and the beauty of this song prevails above all. I'm not sure what you mean about instuments 'degrading' anything. It is a pretty song.

[HAL0INREVERSE]

I agree! This video is pure art and this song is too good!! :D

[rexikanoe]

these songs by Double are awesome, i havent heard anything this fabulous in quite some time, an music now days is mostly fabricated an had no real heart are feel too it, just people trying to get fame an throw bs out there, nice to hear good music again by a real artist

[mmclain68]

I agree with you. The songs these two produced had such soul and a good energy. Today, the young pop artists sound is a bit too electronic and impersonal. Just my feeling and thanks for your comment.

[hjs42]

¡Todo un clásico! Después de más de 20 años este tema sigue vigente. Soberbio, con gran glamour.

[zzzmariel]

It's autumn in my heart again

And a little bit of hell in my soul

I'm looking for a place to go

Where all my devils won't have a ball

I'll take my head high above the clouds

Off the ground and far away from doubts

Where the world below looks pale

And where the right way is just a narrow trail

[matkokalac1]

I cannot believe music like this was actually made at one point..... It makes me sad when I compare the MTV (Europe) from the 80s playing awsome songs like this one and todays MTV.... What happened?

[modspell]

What happened? RAP happened.

[matkokalac1]

that's true, unfortunately.....

It is intersting how little money can produce such awesome videos

[rexikanoe]

@matkokalac1 i wonder the same thing. and it is depressing wondering why mtv has been polluted.

[Peterholland1991]

@matkokalac1

This was never played on MTV (Europe). Maybe VH 1

[theschizoidman]

@matkokalac1 Why do you say MTV Europe? Don't you think MTV in the States played good music in the 80s? You're joking, right? 

[AlabasterDog]

@matkokalac1 What happened?

Uh YO MTV RAPS I believe would be the turning point where you couldn't watch MTV anymore.

Sorry, not trying to be racist or anything but it all went downhill from there.

[silbsas]

brilliant! glamorous & sofisticated

[eclecticTJ61Music]

You are such a Cutie Pie at 3:15 with that spikey hair! I love this video and the song too! Felix was also a total Cutie Pie. R.I.P.

:(

[slowdownsundown]

Fantastic song, so atmospheric and imaginative, one of the best ever, equally brilliant surreal video,check out the unedited piano version of the song, RIP Felix Haug, we love you Double.

[abnerciencia2000]

Bien, bien, si con el tema "El capitán del corazon de ella" se consagran, con este temón nos convecemos cada vez más que sus temas son super-recontra hermosos. !Qué calidad!.... Saludos desde Bolivia

[arnopeter]

Didn't know this one. Great song!

[AngelOfSilence20]

3:14 - 3:24 pure art. Love it. The end has been cut off by a few seconds though if I remember correctly.

[eclecticTJ61Music]

AngelOfSilence20,

I agree with you there! Don't you just LOVE that spikey hair there on Kurt? Pure beauty! I need a napkin to wipe the drool off my lips. lol!

[Kasilind]

i cant stop to listen this song, i feel flying, i love this song

[timmmahhhh]

I couldn't agree with you more. I had heard the song at the time but never seen the video, truly excellent! This is definitely one of my favorites.

[Kasilind]

great song, my english is bad for it i don't understand so fine the lyrics but the sond is so original, great band

[1987BESTYEAR2]

Simply lovely :-) Thanks for posting!

[Brokencodes]

very glamour voice :D

[360Warlock]

This beat is Sick , Damn i have to sample this

[JIM2u007]

Kurt Maloo has a great voice and style.

Just have to love this song - what a ball!

Herp Alpert adds a brilliant 'devil' touch.

Felix's keyboards sparkle too!!

[AngelOfSilence20]

This will always remain one of my alltime fav classics. Great song, excellent lyrics and Herp Alpert's trumpet rock.

[cactusmomma]

This song sticks to my very being...especially in my head. It's been in there for 3 weeks now. I LOVE this song!

[yellowhammer200]

brilliant song,dunno why but the atmospherics of it make me feel sad :(

[aramanth]

ONG I had this album but never saw this video!! I can't believe Mummenschanz guest starred in this, I love them and Double, both! What a Swiss treat!

[Opethian4]

Fantastic song, brings back so many memories...Used to be a bit afraid of this clip..hahhaha

[midguardz]

I thought it had a touch of the herb albert a bit of his music on the rise :)

[URSINHOdePELUCHE]

Yes, I was reminded of Herb Alpert, too, when I heard the trumpet.

[METZ247850]

They should have put more vocals on this song

[URSINHOdePELUCHE]

I don't think so, music obviously was or is their greatest strength, not vocals. They could have made an instrumental out of it and it still would have been great.

[URSINHOdePELUCHE]

Oops, no wonder it sounds like Herb Alpert, it is Herb Alpert :D

[anotherdevilsballfan]

THIS IS SHIT

[mjfbush]

You mean that in a positive way right?

[CromwellDamuuga]

CHEEEEEEEEESE

[Mizz2sexy4u]

Kurt and Felix...wow...their music to me must have been experimental at the time, but dayum, this song is hot!

[emceejoke]

cool Kurt

[erniesuta]

AS WITH ALL dOUBLE'S MUSIC, ABSOLUTELY AWESOME

[romeropablo]

Herb Alpert is on trumpets...

[kalisteboat]

Nice clip.

I don't like the song

[emceejoke]

perfect

[crisfergon]

wuenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[borzinboss]

did kurt maloo had a heart attack back in 95?

[emceejoke]

no Felix Haug did

[jo64co]

Guys this is just fantastic. I keep coming back to hear these lovely songs from Double.

Thank you so much Kurt. I wish you a tremendous 2008 and thank you once again for making part of my youth so interesting with this unforgetable songs. To Felix too, wherever he is now :(

[midguardz]

I think you just gave a string of down thumbs so youd plough through their comments to see your own again. Am I right? Cheeky :)

[newsiemen4u]

man this is so smooth! i love it man! thank you for all so tight!

[mjfbush]

Any chance of some new material Kurt? Consider me sold.

[kumaloo]

Check out my latest album Loopy Avenue, there are eight new songs :)

Happy New Year mjfbush !

[mjfbush]

I love Double. Thanks Kurt for making such great music.

[simplyafan]

THIS IS SOOOOOO FANTASTIC.

I keep this song on my myspace page

most all the time. Whats not to love ??

Thank you for putting it on here Kurt.

[Kjellern150]

Swiss made!! Thats mean high class. Thats for shure. I like this one wery god. And Herb Albert is doing a wonderful job here. Kurt, start making some high quaulity music again, we need it. I¨m just waiting.

[LerafoLuap]

Classy tune and a great video. Love that moody, sophisticated European sound and style - very evocative (and ahead of its time).

[deduero]

I actually saw this video and never heard the song, DANG!!!!!!!! I really could just scream right now, I love this song! That's what you get for hanging out in the bars and watching videos there! Thanks for posting a new favorite for me! ; ) Thank you! so talented...

[mjfbush]

I want to go to a bar that plays this video.

[schnertblatt]

Agreed! I would LOVE to find a bar or pub here in San Francisco that played music and/or videos by Double or Kurt!

[NubianEagle]

Ah, memories...

[gfwhome]

i again pictureed the video very different .but it has excellent music ...i really like it ...but the captian still rates #1...

[mjfbush]

What a great song. I haven't seen or heard this one in a long time.

[URSINHOdePELUCHE]

Love this song, great, mystic sound :)

[sumomiiz]

Excellent clip, one of my favorites of the 80`s.... and very sorry for copyright claim. Thanks for that very nice and genial hearty warm music..respect!

[pachanka11]

thx ......wonderful

[uyouu12]

Kurt, you rock man!!!

[emceejoke]

SUPERB!!!

[maha77]

Wow great song I never heard this one before.

[terrijane61]

R.I.P. Dear Felix. I shed a tear now and then seeing you here. :(((

[thaoworra]

This video and the song hold up very well even after many years. Wonderful to see it, and there's much to learn from it.

[terrijane61]

Ohhhh, I like Spikey Haired Kurt at 3:14!! Ooh-lah-lah

!

[starkid77]

this video and the song were FANTASTIC!!! this is the only other video i've ever seen with Double, except some live performance!!! Mummenschanz was great too!!!

[chromestripper]

EXCELLENT I WISH THERE WAS MORE VIDEOS OF KURT AND FELIX TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO,I COULD WATCH AND LISTEN FOREVER WHAT GREAT MUSIC YOU GUYS MAKE,THANKS A MILLION YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE,o

[jo64co]

fantastic! The voice of Kurt and the intervention of Felix make this song unique. Real great. Thank you.

[silbsas]

I was looking for this song for ages, It is absolutely wonderfull,  this song enters deeply in my heart ... , thanks!!!!!

[Varamathynas]

To FINALLY see the whole video in all its glory...AWESOME, Mr. Maloo! WHYY cant music and videos be as great and creative is this??? Sigh...I miss those days..

[Habibasse]

Have been waiting to see this again for more than 15 years !!! All dreams finally come true...

[iriceboy]

awesome! thanks .. enjoy this vid cuz it might be taken off soon (as with all double vids)

[kumaloo]

This one not, I hope. We own the rights for all Double videos. So enjoy...

[iriceboy]

Thank you so much, I would like to ask about a version of "captain of my heart" with kurt playing the paino in a club and it has a side story of a "call girl" and shot in black and white. I saw it once here but was soon removed. Thanks again

[kumaloo]

The one you`re talking about is for a remix by Michael Cretu on my 1995 album Soul and Echo. It belongs to Sony Music Germany, so I can`t put it up here...

[iriceboy]

Thank you for the info

[CesMan83]

How's it going, Kumaloo...by any chance do you have the piano notes to "The Captain of Her Heart"? I've been trying to learn how to play it on my Steinway but I can never find the notes for it; I at least have the main chords down by memory!

[terrijane61]

PROMISE??? All of these Double vids are posted in my favorites!!!! They won't be taken away?

I PRAY not!!!!!
