He had to be in good shape to do this, and have good leg muscles. Jumping like that can make you very sore. It's also the first video I EVER seen of an artist jumping through a video like a rabbit!
I remember this back in the day when mtv still played music video's,butt some how i thought he was on a pogo stick while shooting this?? To bad he has no best of cd out there not much to choose from anymore outside of j.geils band..
Other better sexually performing ones would say"what a stud-he cheers me up!"
75 million depressed americans with the gun in mouth blues would find relief in that guy,
as for the girls saying what a jerk,I'd say"yeah & what about those slash marks verticle down your arm, just cause you wont let anyone love or respect you???"
This is the lesser known Top 40 hit under the title "Come As You Are" - anyone know who owns the better known of the 2 songs? That distinction belongs to the late Kurt Cobain & Nirvana.
@narunoa You realize, don't you, that every time something (or someone) passes between him and the camera, that's a spot where they cut the film? I'm not dissing on the guy, I'm just saying, it's not like he had to jump for 3 solid minutes. Or even 1 solid minute.
@spokospokospoko Well the guy was 41 years old at the time and the longest shot was every bit of 40 seconds. The shots are all like that, set up to be 30 to 40 seconds. Then you figure they had to do several takes. I'm impressed.
This is supose to be a fun song, as well as a fun video. then you have the people on here with no sense of humor at all that are like. "It's a stupid video, or I dought Peter Wolf would be jumping around like that now". These must be real fun people at a party. I dought how ever they ever get invited, LOL.
@DaveWollenberg I agree....I always did like this song,but the video was insanely stupid....if Peter Wolf remade this song I doubt very seriously he could do all that jumping around(what is he now....60 something? lol)
@455Transam well it's obvious that the gimmick of the video is to shoot the whole thing ina single shot, the choreography is also an homage to an old Gene Kelly film .
@Speegs23 The difference is GENE KELLY could DANCE!! he didn't just jump up and down....please don't compare this to anything the great GENE KELLY did!! LOL!!
This video is so funny because I can picture Peter Wolf doing it in one take. I saw him in concert a few times in the last year and he really does have that much energy.
omg! so good, I described jumping man into google and finally found this
