I think it was a poor choice having the 1st person be turned in an 80s interpretive dancer. Because at that point you don't know what's going on and just think he has a keyboard that turns people into faggots.
Same here. I heard it first in 1999 on a channel called GameOne (French) they played it over a Playstation Snowboarding Event and over Abe's Odyssey. Brings back a shit load of memories.
@djmikedee You are so right. Look what's happened! And the weird thing is, for someone like me who was born in 1980, we were totally convinced the 80's was the worst cultural decade since the dawn of Western civilisation, whereas now it's deified as some sort of golden age. They've obviously never heard Johnny Hates Jazz
Rocksteady Crew's Hey You was the first hip hop song I ever heard in 1983 - I was 4 years old and loved it. I don't think my parents could understand that kind of music.
I was just thinking that, If he'd released this song this year it would've been number 1, I remember asking the DJ who this was when it came on back in the day.
If Stuart only knew how EARLY he was with the whole retro-throwback craze in current pop and music culture. He was ahead of his time with this. People didn't understand what he was doing with this in '99, now it's everywhere.
Yeah, I know, but I think this is a reference of 1989, that year was the start for many things that ruled the world in the next decade... the fucking great nineties, bring back cool days!!!
It' a shame this vid is so grainy and looks like it was filmed on a camera phone through a window. Makes way more sense and is far more effective in max quality.
Hahahah. I like how he uses his Magic Key-tar to turn people into douchy 80's versions of themselves. And for that extra bit of douchiness, Boy George makes an appearance.
Dont worry i do! Darkdancer is one of my all time favourite albums, funky as fuck all the way through. My mate managed to find it on vinyl for my 21st! its the first thing i put on to get me in the mood to go town and dance.
this video blew me away when I first saw it. it's so convincingly 80's you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a retro trip. I think it's the Boy George cameo that does it
He kinda looks like bionic commando ;-)
Look out - bionic commando is on the loose turning people into faggots XD
