  • Awesome song by the Master!. Italian Pride!!

  • Max Plank's black body radiation P h-bar R the night creature of the night .conjunctio of opposites luna/sol wholistic medicine ho ho !

Cryptic coloration cryptic camouflage mimicry of lyrics. Info by Hans Christian Bayers.Cybernetics bodily equilibrium and the endocrine system. The Eye Of God! the creature of the night metaphor creator god goog night sleep lyrical contradiction also.

  • Simpatico, Bel uomo, bel Canzone. Sono fiero di essere Italiano!!!.

  • I found the Laura's version more cheesy, I prefer RAF's

  • I prefer Laura's version but this is good, too. The 'foreign' quality of his English is obvious in his singing, at least to native speakers of English and I think that is why this version was not played in the U.S. I am glad the producers did not change the lyrics for Laura's version because I think the fact that they were written in English by Italians give the lyrics a special quality that works great for the song. I am happy Laura's version dropped the rap - that's never a good thing.

  • you take myself. you take my self control.

  • total jam

  • Very nice!!! Brings me back...

  • Very nice!!!  Brings me back...

  • grande raffaele!!!!

  • indimenticabile!!!!!

  • Great - thank you very much!!

  • Yeah I always knew the Branigan version. This is cool. A little more sedate than the American version. May I add...damn he's skinny!

  • @58936865233 ...and he's still skinny :)

  • I was only familiar with Laura's version! Never knew she covered this! I love it !

  • @jamiegrifter this is original version

  • @victuarprincipe75 I didn't say it wasn't

  • @victuarprincipe75

    Yes, it is the original indeed!

  • Laura Branigan ha interpretato anche il brano Self control, portato al successo dal cantautore Raf nel 1984. by wikipedia

  • @r0x7due il brano è di RAF portato al successo in america da laura branigan

  • i love this song very, very much beautiful europop

  • I prefer Laura Branigan's version but this one is cool as well

  • @stratosl Shut up! There is only one version, the original, of his creator, the Italian singer Raf. Laura Branigan was just a singer who copied all italian songs and exports to the U.S.A. Another song is Gloria by Umberto Tozzi, but the list is endless. you are Ignorant! Everyone knows that 90% of the songs and production happened 80/90 years are Italian.

  • @MrItaliano1900 - She not only covered and made them BETTER!!

  • @stratosl I believe that Greece had failed and you were all dead, but there is still some surviving alive ... that says bullshit.

  • @MrItaliano1900 Why are you such a mean motherfucker?!? Are you evil?

  • @stratosl fuck off u and your country failed! son of bitch!

  • @MrItaliano1900 You didn't answer my question, stronzo. Why do you have to have such a bad behaviour? Are you mentally ill? Are you just a bad person with no morals? Are you just an idiot?

  • This isn't bad; the arrangement is well put-together, and it has a nice groove. There are only two problems: he doesn't really seem comfortable singing in English, and the rap is atrocious.

  • Love everything about this video, including the fact that they spell the band's name wrong when the graphic comes up halfway through the song:)

  • @gabbafm

    In Germany he was known as Raff,as the intials RAF in Germany stood for terrorist group Red Army Faction.

  • Stupendaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • *****Raf  Svegliarsi *********

  • total hit best 

  • I like this version more than the one of L- Branigan. I just heard her version did u ever realize that she sang out of tune! She is MUCH MUCH edited but in taht perios no AUTOTUNE existed and here u come... :-)

    This guy here (RAF) composed this HIT. This song is so good that works even only with bass and voice. Produced by BIGAZZI, a HIt producer

    Here the only thing which is really ugly, really terrible is the rap!!!

    Raf is attuned and rhytmically perfect his fault was to be italian...

  • @diamonddonut Yo wtf.. respect to the original... wtf.. i actually think this version is much better than branigan... thats my opinion.. you got yours.. but calling it a piece of trash.. please.. take a gun and i dont have to tell you the rest

  • @AllDeadRebels

    no i don't wanna shoot u, just clap ur hands with those girls, the lyrics doesn't have to do anything with the video! honestly i wouldn't do a video like this if i don't have the money to make it right!

  • I like both versions. No wonder the Swiss couldn't decide :)

  • I never even knew another version of this song existed until tonight!

    When did RAF first record this?

  • @IJustWatchEm71  Raf was the first.

  • @IJustWatchEm71 Only months before Laura Branigan covered it. His was the one that came out first, then Jack White, Branigan's producer, heard it and like Umberto Tozzi's "Gloria", which was also originally an Italian song, had her cover it.

  • This is wonderful, thank you for posting this. This is the beat quality I've seen for this video ever.

  • Great video post 5/5 :  )

  • Bellissima canzone!! Raf un mito!

  • i love this guy

  • thank you
