ANIMOTION "Room to move"

[trojascal38]

The same cyntia of staying alive

[DaveWollenberg]

Animotion hit #9 in Billboard, 5-6-89. I do like Astrid Plane's singin' better. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[wklosek]

The guy sounds just like Richard Marx...I always thought this was a Marx tune.

[Suspiria10]

His the lady singer they lady in Dirty Dancing?

[Goombah777]

Cynthia makes me move

[komie48]

リチャードマークスの奥さん。かっこいい！(^O^)／

[TypOPositiv]

I wonder if Cynthia Rhodes ever had to perform "Obsession" live. I think that would be interesting.

[ludocrat]

The Climie Fisher original was much, much better. Agreed? :)

[NickESantoro]

@ludocrat I concur.

[leiefilm]

back when kim nassinger was hot. and didn't look like a witch

[iluvacuras]

cool song. didn't know this was part of my step mother is an alien..cool movie. :)

[bru5520]

Love this song,takes me back to better times.

[jimjam1971]

How can you prefer this to the original by Climie Fisher?? this version is shite 80's theatrics....CHEESE

[myownservant]

Shame Engemann didnt record much, very nice voice.

[NickFDNY]

today's music is totally SHIT.

long live 80's ♥

[Juliaflo]

@NickFDNY I second that. However, once in a blue moon, I will hear a melody worth humming or singing.

Happy Thanksgiving.

[davicharrllss]

@NickFDNY

True

[perpetual61]

Cynthia Rhodes was everywhere in the 80's. First she was in Toto's Video as Rosanna, Flash Dance, Staying Alive, Dirty Dancing as Penny,and Animotion then Married Singer Richard Marx.

[DaveWollenberg]

HIt #9 pp\op, #46 AC in Billboard. Bill Wadhams and Astrid Plane should've stayed in the band all along. Not left , and then come back, right, gang? God bless!

[Rychead684]

Fabulous 80's tune! You can never go wrong with Paul Engemann on vox! And now something funny for the greek mates around here: In Greece this film had been promoted with the VERY interesting title "Η ΣΕΞΟΓΗΙΝΗ" (smthn like "The Sex-alien").. ahahahahaha man this country is SO beyond ANYthing..!!! :P :P :P

Hit #9 in Billboard. God bless!

[HoldOnToYourDream]

You know what really pisses me off about this version of Room To Move? The original version of this song was recorded by Climie Fisher and I was familiar with their version long before I found out about this version by Animotion which I now hear on the radio all the time. I'm sure if the majority of people in the world were familiar with Climie Fisher's version, they would have appreciated them more.

~Mr. Make Believe

[lewis72]

@HoldOnToYourDream

I didn't even know that this version existed until now and have always known the Climie Fisher version. The original, IMO, is far better.

[PhantomDrums917]

@lewis72 I like the original too, it's a bit more hard rock. :)

[davicharrllss]

@HoldOnToYourDream

Let me tell you something : I was wondering why you made this

apreciattion and after listening to Climie Fishher´s version i´m

seriously considering what you say . Both of them are really good,

but it´s even better to have 2 fantastic options . Which one ? Hmm ...

[davicharrllss]

@HoldOnToYourDream

Let me tell you something : I was wondering why you made this

apreciattion and , after listening to Climie Fisher´s version , i´m

seriously considering your opinion . Both of them are really good ,

but it´s even better to be able to choose between 2 fantastic options .

... Which one ? ...Hmm ... ... depending of the moment , place & feeling ...

Now, I understand why you don´t like to listen to this one on the radio ...

[MaterialGirlMad1989]

Cynthia Rhodes with big hair classic Richard Marx who she is married to had some good hits out in the 80s classic 80s catchy pop tune I like it Animotion a good name for a band too

[Tonysgirl59]

Cynthia also played Penny in Dirty Dancing.

[kalyssto]

Cynthia is married to Richard Marx =)

[theanorak73]

i prefer the climie fisher version as well, but this is just so amusing, and cynthia rhodes is.... mmmmmm

[TheChiaraAlessi]

I prefer the Climie Fisher version hands up and down!

[leiefilm]

THE intro sounds a lot like the tin tin out.what i am

[hilarioph]

The lovely Kim from 1989 Batman. She is so sexy back in the 80's until she be came a mom. Now she is a step mother as a mother. Get it? :-D

[JonnysKia]

Ugh, sorry but Animotion is NOT Animotion without Astrid and Bill. I abandoned them when they brought this singer into it. Yuck lol.

[dharmaseed]

Yeah, what happened to Astrid and Bill, anyway? Don Kilpatrick was the only original member left by this point. What about Charles and Frenchy?

[JonnysKia]

Astrid married Charles and they have a daughter; I believe her name is Victoria. I'm not sure about Bill, but Animotion does still get together occasionally. They have a website that tells where they are playing. Astrid is older but still totally awesome! Frenchy I have no idea about.  He seems to have vanished.

[dharmaseed]

Wow, thanks for the info! I'll check that out.

[tall32guy]

Can you say 80's! LOL

[dokkenroll]

miercoles¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ufffffffff exelente jaja que chimba de banda y con los de device

[gameshowluvr86]

Did any R&B stations ever play this song back in early or mid 1989?

[watermanandyg]

Yeppers

[NYCMESBRNX]

Not in NYC...that's for sure. Had to wait 'til Sunday morning's Kasey Kasem countdown to hear it.

[cenlanurseguy]

Love this song! BIG hair and all!

[kburke1933]

I love this song. I cannot help it. It appeals to my deepest, cheesiest 80s heart. lol

[malcolmyoung86]

no Astrid Plane?

[DallasHammster]

Yeah, Astrid and Bill Wadhams both left after the Starnge Behavior album, though I believe they do come back for the occasional reunion tour.

[SeaBassTian]

I am sorry, but the Climie Fisher version is so much better. It is safe to say that these people have butchered a great track. It's almost painful.

[allovespeggy]

ah i love this song :D

[MeAndMyRC]

Not the original duo, but still good

[amberfwn]

This is a great song, I'm surprised it has not been covered.

[ludocrat]

Cool!

[ludocrat]

@ludocrat

Dick.

[skinnydude911]

THIS DUET was nice and upbeat . I like it and i am from the era lol

[tobyviv]

can't say that this has any real conncetion to the original Animotion... most likely the final obligated album in their record deal otherwise I doubt it would have been made...bland bland blah!!!

[Naomi0111]

If things aren't going too well with Richard,...Cynthia,I'll gladly court you for four years!! even at the ripe age of 52 you fox you!..Go girl.

[hillsongfan1]

If it doesn't work out with Richard, I'll date him. :)

[Asseo12]

hola

[corpsvalue]

The guy lead singer was also the singer from Device with such hits as "Hanging On a Heart Attack" and "Who Says?"

[PRUSSA]

Paul Engemann

[dwn1lal3]

I had no idea this was a top 10 hit in the U.S. With the departure of Astrid Plane and the male lead Bill Wadhams, Animotion was no longer the same in 1989.

[layton59]

The original blonde lead female singer in ANIMOTION is MISS ASTRID PLANE. This is her short-term replacement actress Cynthia Rhodes. CR is a great trained dancer, vocals not so much.

[blm9276]

watch Stayin Alive.. she (Cynthia Rhodes) is a wonderful singer!

[pabc]

I love song!!

[likes2havefun]

Also, she was in the video "Should've Known Better"...that is how they met.

[mikerad65]

I'm sorry to disagree,I just watched the"should've known better"vid and she's not in it.that video is not Cynthia Rhodes,his wife. From Wikipedia:Rhodes met pop Richard Marx in '83 while working on a duet for soundtrack of Staying Alive.seven years his senior,she thought he was too young for her.They didn't start dating until two years later, when they met again at a party.After a four-year courtship,they married.she was in his video; Don't mean nothing.She has retired.She's a stay at home mom

[likes2havefun]

I remember this video. The blonde ended up marrying Richard Marx.

[freezeyou88]

this group performed on showtime at the appollo

[CalgarSkull]

two new singers....

[mignonhenne]

wriitten by climie and fisher , they do a better version but didn't release it from their fab debut.

[gollum99]

what film is this in?

[AORRADOR]

"My Stepmother Is an Alien" (1988) with Dan Aykroyd & Kim Basinger

[Melasande]

It also featured on one of the early Baywatch episodes

[xv88rox]

Digital AND analog synthesizers, real lead guitars, Cynthia Rhodes, big hair, the decade of decadence was the very best...!

[bluehue101]

he has better hair then she does.

[tygersflowerz]

Hehe I have to disagree.  It's pretty weird.

[Gray99]

Of course!

[KebapMaster]

Lol, I loved that film.

[1tubed]

hey little "z"- - this is a classic 80's song! (BIG Z)

[tygersflowerz]

I miss the '80s.

[dot4design]

@tygersflowerz

Back to the eighties at my channel!!!Take a look....

Thanks....

[Cheuz62]

Device is very good project! Holly Knight where is?

[83survivor]

The blonde male singer is none other than Paul Engemann(who did performed the penned Giorgio Moroder song "Push It To The Limit" for the Scarface soundtrack).

[cadesmal]

Didn't they also have a song called "Calling It Love" when Cynthia Rhodes was in the lineup? If someone has that video, please post it!

[hubguy5]

holy........never thought I would ever hear this song again.....ahaha....cool

[mandapaulxx]

Actually had this song on vinyl..i agree with you jimmyhd its a great song,brings back some memories for me too

[jimmyhd1969]

Great song, great memories, great era!

[PRUSSA]

thanks!

[PRUSSA]

who's the male singer from "Device"?

[AORRADOR]

His name is Paul Engemannn

[AORRADOR]

sorry, Engemann

[nerdflanders8710]

@PRUSSA it's yo mama

[lukaun8]

I had saved, then it was removed. I bummed out, then I found again sweet! I love Cythnia Rhodes cool chick, married to Mr. Richard Marx. Seen the bio, they have some beauitful children. Great video too, love this music. Soundtrack to 1988's My Stepmother is An Alien starring Ms. Kim Basinger.

[AORRADOR]

sorry, Engemann

[GaryMartinII]

I haven't heard this song in over 10 years and I finally found it!!! Thank you so much!!!

[oldmill86]

what is the name of the girl singer? she was in the movie staying alive with john travolta. she was a hottie.

[SQUAT2002]

Her name is Cynthia Rhodes. She also starred in Toto's video "Rosanna" and starred as "Penny" in Dirty Dancing. She is married to singer Richard Marx. She is really pretty and talented.

[dingletube]

yeah, ill never forget her from dirty dancing. i would so stick it to her little boney ass

[Rooblakas]

Agreed. I liked Cynthia in Runaway (1984) as well although she played a cop and not a dancer in that movie.

[allovespeggy]

i know right Lol cynthias awesome and her movie 'runaway' is great too i wish she'd make more movies but her career stopped in 1991=/

[Igaden]

Cool song a love that movie!!

[Chaosgirl81]
