  • this pisses all over take thats version everytime.

  • @TONYCOV881 what excactly do you mean by that ? s:

  • @The000laura000 i mean its a million times better than take that cos they are terrrible.

  • @TONYCOV881 I don't agree but okay...

  • @The000laura000 there is stuff you dont know about them, put it this way i hate them with a passion.

  • i lost my mind when i heared this song i cant stop dancing D;

  • GTA BALLAD OF TONY

  • I knew this song before I played GTA TBOGT, but I hate when people bash on people who heard it first in GTA. Many of the great classic songs I know from movies and games. THE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!!!

  • I BE PIMPIN OUT IN A CAR IN GTA LISTIN TO DIS SONG

  • Now this is music! Not all of that rapping and stupid stuff. That is just lame.

  • Rockstar thanks for bringing back memories and good dancing music...Keep it up man!!!

  • im gonna ask rockstar games to make me a mix cd there music taste is godly

  • flashmob haah!

  • RICKROLLED???!!!!????

  • I'm from the 90's.. Shit..

  • i tough this was jamiroquai

  • i understand we like papaya xD

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • fucking EPIC...gta tbogt ftw

  • Take That are truly the "Queens of Cover Versions". Those terrible Mancunian drips should never have been allowed to cover this fantastic song.

  • @MegaPablo333 Less of the Mancunian, thanks!

    Gayboy Barlow's from Frodsham, That bender Williams is from stoke and Mark Owen is a yonner. Apart from that, you're bang on!

  • @ganglandboss I would like to offer an apology for my "Mancunian" comment. Thankyou for correcting me.

  • Tomorrow with Tom Snyder theme song. No lie.

  • 6 people don't understand what real music is!

  • GTA IV The Ballad Of Gay Tony got me here :)

  • spent many a night in the 80's dancing to this one ,,,Loved Dan...RIP ole friend.

  • holy shit jamiroquai basically made a career off this!

  • Yeah!!!

  • This is fucking mutherfucking DOPE!!

  • this guy was a fantastic musician and a real gentleman.

    he played with people like Edgar Winter,... !

    We miss you Dan...

  • ...Relight My Fire, Your Love Is My Only Desire...

  • nice

    

  • I was like what the hell is GTA? lol. Heard this track championed still in the 2000's @ Body & Soul NYC when it was still @ Club Vinyl (when they had a home) many Sundays... Probably Joe Claussell working the knobs, but Danny Krivit or Francois K. might've ran it as well of course being vintage music lovers,dj's and producers. Loved that night there, Funk, Boogie, Deep Disco, Classics, & Soulful House... Soul Music all night long.

  • I don't care I love his music!!!

  • fuck uneducated morons that only get in touch with music history through GTA and actually feel proud of it!

  • @f4ust85 ... You're saying that everyone who heard this song through GTA are unedecutated morons... how the hell did you get such an impression? Cause that is very bold to make such a huge assumption. Hey, everyone has to hear this music somewhere, they didn't exactly search for 'DAN HARTMAN RELIGHT MY FIRE' Cause they just happened to know it, they had to hear it somewhere, or learn about it. You're a fucking uneducated moron for trashing the people that heard it through GTA. Dumbass.

  • @danerogil your right i found this song out on gta and i like it and i also like other tunes i heard from raido and things that guy f4ust85 is a dumbass

  • @danerogil well fucking said dude ;)

  • @danerogil Indeed.

  • @danerogil

    I heard the song earlier, but GTA IV reminded me the song, great game and great song however GTA San Andreas was better.

  • @f4ust85 why does it matter? it's always awesome to stumble upon something like this.

  • @f4ust85 you're a fucking idiot

  • @f4ust85 What about all the hordes of people who heard this song first with Take That? (who released a cover of this song almost 20 years ago)..

  • @f4ust85 I wonder how you got in touch with this music then... I don't think you're older than 50 or are you?

  • @f4ust85 That's stupid and you know it. Who cares de source of information, Rockstar did an impecable job bringing this music to the young generation of players, and that's good.

  • The one and only Dan Hartman. His music will be with us forever.

  • THE BALLAD OF GAY TONY!!!

  • GTA FUNKYTOWN

  • GTA did'nt brought me here =/ was youtube

  • Written and performed by the amazing Dan Hartman in 1979. This track enabled boy band 'Take That' to reach stardom using another person's music. Sadly, Dan died in 1994 and was never given the adulation and commendation that he so richly deserved for this. I sincerely hope his estate benefits from any royalties. Dan died about 4-6 months after the Take That track hit the charts.

  • i wanna thank gtas rockstar for their great music choices cuz i wouldnt have never heard of these 70s amazing bastards

  • the good 80's *-*

  • @jameshaagensen Ballad of Gay Tony has best music IMO :)

  • I think Jamiroquai was deeply influenced by Dan Hartman's great work. If you listen to both their work, it's very similar. Go Dan, you were the man!

  • @tellmem3 I Thought exactly the same! Haha 1:12-1:21 Is really similar!

  • look at Louis La Roche - do you remember? same beat, great song

  • @maxio1234 yeah, quality tune that, you should check out johnny lawrence of the cobra kai and instant replay (remix) by phantom's revenge, samples dan hartman too
