[1trojantjl]

when i first saw the vvdio, it was danny devitp doing the sax solo

[zeroorez2killbill]

NO WAY .. is .. is that Danny DeVito??? ^^

[JoeNJ1]

Looks a little like Michael Vick...just sayin;

[YorySesca]

brothers make some good music

[hitcharide1]

Hey...back when movie stars weren't too big and famous and arrogant to be in a video! They're hilarious, glad they did it!

[DaveWollenberg]

Billy hit #2 in Billboard, 2-15-86. Wonder how he got asked to contribute to the soundtrack? God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[themainman0xp]

when you hear this song you just know is going to be ok

[freddydred]

It just occur to me: You don't a lot of this anymore. The actors from the movies being in the videos (I don't mean from clips, but actually in the videos). I miss those days.

[RFouts0]

@freddydred The Rock was in the Godsmack video for Scorpion King.

[1granddragon]

@RFouts0 for your safety, you better be right

[RFouts0]

@1granddragon What's with the threats?

[1granddragon]

@RFouts0 u shut the f up

[choirdiva29]

i remember being little and watching this movie :) i loved it and also my mom had billy oceans album so this brings back alot of memories :D

[kencane125]

Billy Ocean!!! The 50cent of the 80s!!!

[LaShawnda4u]

This is one of my favorites! All time favorite! AWESOME!!!

[drewskione]

the 80s look slick.

[eightday]

One of my favorite singers ever!

[Belleplainer]

@catholicpriest1: Well, it is difficult to exercise when you are suffering from a crippling condition like rheumatoid arthritis. Also, some of the medicines that they prescribe for that condition have the effect of causing you to gain weight.

[RetroJenny]

@catholicpriest1 She has Rheumatoid Arthritis, and doctors prescribe steroids so I'm pretty sure that has a lot to do with her weight gain

[swalk813]

I only hope Mr. Ocean is enjoying his retirement these days....I'd be sad if he effed up his 2-year run of top-10 hits and is spooning off a crack pipe somewhere....I love ya, Billy!

[patrickwinslow]

I have the video with Danny DeVito playing the bari sax (yes, the real solo was on tenor, as most of you can tell) before they took it off YouTube. Something about the original tenor soloist threatening to sue if they didn't give him full credit for the solo. Someone can clarify that for me. Thanks.

[SlickSmooth22]

56 people didn't drink down that bass line. It always goes down smooth.

[ashland1977]

Give me the 80s any day. Especially these days!

[mugen91integra]

life seemed a lot simpler in the 80's. wish i could relive it

[ThaHipHopMovement]

This song rocks totally.

[ThaHipHopMovement]

This song rocks totally.

[hospitalbedpan1]

Amazing how his voice is the same live as it is in the video.

[SoundDeva5]

Just to get the three stars of the film to sing back up, how much more cool is that: ICE COLD....simply MOMENTUS!!!!

[63step]

listening to this song will gain power ... let's be strong Japanese people!!!

[caramelhoney29]

So happy to say I am an 80's baby!!!!

[A1dukeofNY]

they always play this song everytime i go to wet n wild waterpark in greensboro,nc.Classic 80's!!!!!!!!!!!

[gradimirkaable]

80 s - the best

[BenBerzai42]

Save your jokes for Lionel Richie. This is serious.

[BenBerzai42]

How can any of you make jokes when this song comes on? This is serious.

[KF6LIL]

I WONDER IF MICHAEL DOUGLAS EVER LOOKS AY HIS WORK ON YOUTUBE & WHERE'S KATHLEEN TURNER THESE DAY'S

[ChelseysChoice]

The perfect Valentine's Day song.

[ChelseysChoice]

The perfect Valentine's Day song.

[DavidJeffersonTull]

Actually, "when the going gets tough," the tough go take a nap :)

[Mysterwright]

@DavidJeffersonTull True. When news become mainstream, it means the underground objectives in any mission have already been completed and agents debriefed. Wikileaks got in trouble because they released info that's still classified. Any number of people or their families and friends, neighbors could be put at greater risk than reasonable chance permits if even a bit of that stuff were public knowledge. That's why its dumb kids of people mess with those who are good looking out for them.

[DavidJeffersonTull]

@Mysterwright After all that, I DEF need a nap lol.

[precious5162]

I LOVE THISSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[sworn2prtcusa2002]

I love this video and it's cool that the stars are the back up sangers but noooooooooooooooooo rythm. They're toooooo stiff. LOL

[yettibrad]

I can't say it enough - Billy Ocean made 1985 his bitch.

[jmm0935]

@yettibrad Cheers!



[serpentinecreature]

Fantastic!! Thank you for sharing! A wonderfully talented man!!

[vong19961]

can some one please make this song with lyircs

[kja427]

The Jewel Of The Nile was a very quirky sequel to see; It wasn't bad. this tune isn't bad either.

[hospitalbedpan1]

Funny, I was playing this song while one of my neighbors was pushing her kid in a stroller. The kid's feet were bouncing up and down to the rhythm of the song. I couldn't stop laughing. When I stopped playing the song the kid's feet stopped bouncing.

[gluserty]

This awesome, on so many levels:-)

[grivello]

I saw Kathleen Turner in Sir La Table 5 years ago. Or rather I heard her deep sultry voice and half way reeled around searching my memory banks for who that voice belonged to... Joan Wilder?... THE Joan Wilder?

[barbj7121]

when this video first came out? at school? everyone could not stop taliking about it :) in a good way :) oh i miss those 80's???

[mattdawg83686]

Today's videos lack what this one has: FUN!

[Djarielassault]

This video is super cool, nice to see michael douglas and Danny DeVito as back up singer/dancers lol...oooooh oooooooh 

[Djarielassault]

This video is super cool, nice to see michael douglas and Danny DeVito as back up singer/dancers lol...oooooh oooooooh

[ronssexybikerbae]

I love this song, and the video.

[jennyinthepark]

Its SO cute seeing the Trio[Turner, Devito, Douglas] sing backup! How did I ever miss this?

[markkent1938]

great song video,fanatic movie!, and goo d black singer!! i think i was 12 at time hahah good moments of my time!

[MrMunjamunja]

Вери најс сонг!

[phesterjr]

Hmph. Before rap music and r&b soul became popular this was what to fall back on. -Songs from movie soundtracks. But that's how artists use to get exposure especially if the song was catchy. Kinda like Ray Parker Jr's "Ghostbusters" and Mike MacDonald's "Sweet Freedom" off the Running Scared soundtrack. LOL Yeah, I miss the early 80's.

[TIMROZIERLOCAL513]

You need to see " Easy Virtue" they covered this song for the movie

[flowerchildca]

What a way to start the new year . Great picture and the most awesome movie vid I've seen. My calf is tired. New Years resolution, start going back to favs and remember why ya saved them. WHOOOPEEE

[nancie1186]

OMG! This is a great video!!!!

[jeruke]

I used to think the Saxophonist was hot on the far right. Ya know? with the leather mini skirt.

[amosjordan]

Thnkz BET's Every Body Hates Chris for reminding about this hot performer.....amos N camden 29020

[latinavixn]

Always loved this song. Lol at how low Devito's mic is hahaha its like on the floor!

[JKCNinety]

@latinavixn kind of like hows ur would be, SHORTY! hahahahaha!

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #31 song of '86. Billy hit #2 pop, and, AC, #6 soul, in the US. Did he chart in the UK? God bless, and, Happy Christmas!

[tigerbite01]

should have been #1 in my book.

[Luvsingin202]

Michael Douglas is gettin' it too, haha

[TheAmer117]

they called us crazeh even before 911 XD

[ynggranny]

OMG, I haven't seen this since '85!

[Zinemaster61]

The New York Giants theme song !!! GO GIANTS !!!

[wgamador]

Romancing the Stone was a cool movie.

Kathleen Turner just had something about her. 

[rainonariver]

Awesome bass line!!!!!!

[gluserty]

Great tune: Michael Douglas's voice sounds EXACTALLY like my father.

[realtorsafety911]

Great Song and brings back some very good memories...

[rally618]

Just watched the movie again tonight.Wish they made another one.

[imsofarklempt]

GREAT SONG!!!!

[alphasweetheart]

YES I DIDNT KNOW I knew all the words lol singing rt now

[msninafiasco]

why exactly are there dislikes on this song?

[dornbeast]

@msninafiasco Three people drank too many beers while watching YouTube.

Don't drink and dislike. This has been a public disservice denouncement.

[tutshutlvnv]

this takes me back to my childhood...i love it.....

[ncpoliticosrock]

Cmon Michael stay tough!

[bigoilsucks1]

Man, that Billy Ocean could sing!!

[shawnmariajones]

this song brings back alot of memories of playing with my friends back in the 80's and listening to good music. the movies back then were awesome also, even though they weren't the best.

[787pablo]

the opening bass makes me smile...someone should send this clip to mr. douglas. bet he'll feel better :)

[treadley]

I wonder if any of the stars cringe when they think of themselves being the backup dancers/singers to this song...

[rally618]

I love the video and the movie.I truly MISS the 80's.

[menotellname]

Gotta love the fact that he has the stars of "Romancing the Stone" as his backup singers...Danny DeVito, Michael Douglas, and Kathleen Turner.

[loftybutcontrite]

@menotellname lol yeah they even have a little choreography going on.

[truthspeaks01]

@menotellname

aaannnd jewel of the nile. :D

[jorgekluney]

@menotellname What do you mean? That's clearly War of the Roses line up :)

[RFouts0]

@menotellname That's cuz the song was used in the sequel Jewel of the Nile. This was the official music video for the song's release and the movie.

[balzosteel]

I never knew Frank Reynolds could dance. He looked a lot better then.

[grumpypant]

If I die tonight, I would like to give thanks and praises to The Good Lord above in heaven for giving me a chance to live through such an interesting era in music during the 80s; Wow, an era of great fashion trends, feel-good music, memorable movies...etc...

Rest in peace, Michael Jackson!!!

[briank383]

I don't know why but whenever I hear this song it cheers me up.

[optims129]

thats sharon stone, danny devito and micheal douglass as his backing vocals in this.. so you 1 for 3 as danny is a midget from NY :D

[grumpypant]

@optims129 ...Katherine Turner, not Sharon Stone!

[sabacc72]

@grumpypant Kathleen Turner, not Katherine Turner!

[bsktballfan]

his back up singers looked like fabio, a midget from brooklyn and one of those male designers

[ChildrenofAmory]

Wow, this takes me back. This is one of my favorite 80's films. Corny video but awesome none the less.

[dswrain]

wait a f in minute is that devito and douglas on the song itself! ~ wtf!>>>>????

[bhoward1980]

@dswrain yeah and kathleen turner as well ;-)

[07jackd07]

I had a huge crush on Kathleen when these movies came out

[williamkatt81]

I hope that you don't mind that I put this on my Channel in Support of Michael Dougless in his cancer fight... you will be credited..... I love this video and it looked like a great shoot....

[jernellerosales]

I was having a crappy day. played this song now I feel better! I Heart the 80's

[emceleste]

You can't beat having danny divito in your music vid... come on now....

[jaimeadams2009]

Nope... I didn't either

[FaytLinegod]

The song is great as it is, but having Michael, Kathleen and Danny in the background 'singing' makes it even better.

[barbj7121]

wow great comeback:) i remember yelling turn this up!!at home? everytime i heard it come on the radio?:) awesome!!:)

[aaprcopenguin]

great bass line....

[BCastine]

The 80's were a lot of fun

A lot of songs that people of all ages, races could enjoy together......

Its too bad some people missed out because they were too busy being haters.

Haters always miss out, thats why they are angry.

Love conquers all

[Zinemaster61]

[mattw705]

I love this song.

[klostrophobik]

I prefered "Get into my car" from License to Drive. Cory Haim FTW!

[iwantacowboy]

If any of you remember this video when it came out in the 80's, this version does not have the part when Danny Devito is "playing" the saxaphone...

[rosered316]

This is 100% better than that stupid rap out today.

[LordReevan]

At i could stop laughing at 1:17 I forgot that Mick Danny Kathline were in this video. I love it even more now.

[aheadace]
