Cameo - Word Up Live on Arsenio

[nazizombies85]

Korn did way better no offense

[NOBLE24788]

They look gay (no offence)

[EvettaPetty]

Back in the day, over 20 years ago, I designed several hats for Cameo, for Larry Blackmon, Nathan, and Tommy. The Black and white polka dot cap was a lot of fun. This was the beginning of my career as a Milliner. Evetta Petty of Harlem's Heaven Hat Shop. NYC Jan. 22,2012

[VideoMusicManiac]

@EvettaPetty I knew a good story was close! Thanks for sharing that. Love the hat too.

[EvettaPetty]

Larry of Cameo is wearing an exciting polka dot hat designed by Evetta Petty of Harlem's Heaven Hats.

[VideoMusicManiac]

@EvettaPetty Just how did you know that? ps I love it.

[Sharizsa]

aaaaaaaaaaaa

[BrooklynBizznezz]

I LOVE me some Cameo but I always hated this song. Its the only song I hate by Cameo. Blackmon is a true showman. Lol@ Korns version is better. Smh...unfuckingbelievable.

[VideoMusicManiac]

@BrooklynBizznezz Hate or not, this version is unlike the studio version and it kicks ass.

[erickuhl215]

Korns version is better.

[ninjaa54]

[araund44]

przypomnialy mi sie młode lata ;]



[Pmcgov3284]

one of thebest 80stunes

[edhardey4life]

am i the only one who thinks he looks like black a jake gyllenhaal between 0:6 and 0:10 ?

xD

[Galentw]

he kinda sounds like an old pedophile

[rickles33]

Eleven people are out of their COT DAMN minds.

[tbonefunkywalker]

I want that damn outfit who is next to Larry, the black and white jacket and pants. Is he Tomi Jenkins? How Gorgeous he is!!! What year was this?

[adamtzsch]

It was all harmless, bitchin' disco when I was 8-years-old. I never dreamed he liked it like that, in that hat.

[xXMargaritaXx1]

This is THE shit.!!!! Korn did a good Job but this is bangin.! Their style is pretty legit too. WTF happened.?? Now it's all skin and everyone looks the same. Their dance moves.!! I plan on practicing.

[Lukesonthomp]

COOOOOODPIIIIEEEECCCEEE

[eileiko]

i like the korn version better!! :D

C-A-M-E-O you say!! :D

[Chubzdoomer]

This song is the fucking BOMB!

[SamyDeluxe4]

It´s a mix between "Thriller" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".. :D

[hollykainz]

I'd love to see Korn try to dance like these guys.

[ChefRaekwon94]

holy shit that´s amazing!

[whitneyhatfield]

I work at chucks cheese & they play this song but it's Chuckie cheese singing it & now I'm in love with this song ! Everytime it comes on I get a big smile on my face , I listin to it over & over again lol

[darknostrils]

Yep. Osama Bin Laden's dead! Word Up!

[RedHairedTavia]

Just love it ;D

[Melonkracker]

I have serious question that guy was gay right or were the 80's that fucked up

[cjs33139]

@Melonkracker Ummm, even today I see crazy hats and outfits like that in 2011. So why bash the 80s, my era? So now anyone who looks like that is gay? WTF. Grow up.

[markee871]

@Melonkracker i agree that a man shouldnt dress like that, but dont say the 80's because people 100 years from now will look at you and ur generation and call u fucked up! look at the get up lady freaken gaga wears and tell me she doesnt look "fucked up" meat dresses and shit

[BruceCamblzChin]

Word up bitches!

[gpd784]

They don't look gay. They look omnisexual. Don't matter if its male, female, human, inanimate, green, greenish, or Greek. Look out!!!  You can't even kick that guy in the ball (s).

[cycoman702]

Damn everyone looked queer in the 80's!

[tonykillz55]

Good thing korn approved this song

[hollykainz]

This video is so cool. It always makes me smile. It would be nice if they'd done the entire song, but even with just the first verse, the dancing and showmanship make it the best video of this song on youtube. Korn can't hold a candle to these guys when it comes to funkiness.

[Clepto91]

gay people looks normal when they stand on the side from cameo

[pbrlimit]

Cameo arrives, destroys, and leaves. That is the man .....

[lethreeamigos]

Man they look gay!

[cellocrazy1994]

That is the most bad-ass hat in the world :D The pink jump suit has me wondering though. Cool dance at 0:47- 1:11 :D

[mcsmoothstyle]

@cellocrazy1994

those where some mean moves.

[TheDeltagirl6]

What's up with the muscle shirt , cup , hat & glove? True Larry Blackmon. I miss the 80's. Real music, no cussing and downgraded women. Korn didn't write the song, Cameo did it first. This was the shyt in the back in the day!!

[justAnotherJapanese]

I wonder what he is doing now.

[ilovepopcorn12345]

@justAnotherJapanese IKR?

[dak879]

The outfits!! Sometimes all you can do is shake your head and say "Oh 1980's how crazy you were"

[romaneeto]

Arsenio is the shit. He has great taste of jams. Cameo is the bomb.

[stevieplez2]

They used to hit that dance where it would be all three of them dancing together, I can't find no footage of that..

[ellebane]

the dude on (my) left dances like a 12 year old white girl from Nebraska

just sayin

[MsWod]

@ellebane Hey! I'm from Nebraska!! {but I'm not a 12-yr. old white girl, lol...) just sayin'

[natrockskate]

[updrafttower]

[SlippstersVideos]

[miazagora]

My five-year-old said, "Mommy! Turn that off! That's DISTURBING!" lol!

[RolexTharsus]

Wish Larry had dressed up a bit for this one, it was national television for goodness sake.

[rafa3lico]

his voice is wierd and the suits too but it was cool in the 80's that's what matters, was this the firs version?

[rev1eval]

now they can sing this is like study version dont u think?

[lilmateki]

Great song. Nd honestly I love the hat

[MylesRodgers]

Haha, all I think about is Steve Carell in 40 Year Old Virgin singing this song.

[duxberry1958]

top tune

[ca18270]

tell your brother your siste and your mama too ....................

great ooohhhh yeah

[MrHans2207]

Der hot a echt geiles ganzkörperkondom an

[MyBumIsOnTheSwedish]

Everybody who keeps asking if they're gay, realize that in the 80's these guys were basically the black man's Glam rock band.

[maroccocoon]

THE TIME WHEN MUSIC WAS REAL !

[cherrypieforever]

everyone saying this is gay are just ashamed cuz they know deep down they love it :D

ITS AMAZING!!!

[divineonenl]

@cherrypieforever

cmon admit that suit looks kinda gay, but his music is stell awesome!

[cherrypieforever]

@divineonenl lol yeah okay i do have to admit that :L

[cherrypieforever]

@divineonenl but the dancing is just so macho LOL

[Willpy13]

KoRn took this song from Gay's ? =)

[vinny1827]

YEAH, I was supprised to figure that out too!! Korns version is ten times as good though.

[hnttstudios]

WHAT A FREAK!

[ironlinken]

ok now tell me this guy aint gay please.

[generatrix999]

Its your conditioning. George Clinton/P Funk not gay, these guys are the same school.

Blink182, now I can see people thinking that's gay.

[Keirnoth]

[mlach2003]

[skitzoo242]

[Dedokai32]

HAIL TO THE CAMEO

[1989ReBorN]

KoRn's version is best. And I must say that, this guy is FAG

[oforiperry]

KoRn's version is a fake! Stealing other bands's music. Get your own shit!

[Baldmelon]

yeah, i'm sure Cameo's really pissed off that a band would cover their song in tribute. they probably really hate the royalty cheques:-P

[oforiperry]

in tribute! like simply red, stealing shit. royalty checks - hope so!

[Baldmelon]

obviously they're getting royalties from it. not to mention appearing on the radar of younger music listeners. it doesn't hurt them.

[gabbs23]

its a fantastic but i think he is the real singer of word up cuz theres a word up sung by KoRn. but cameo{the one singing right now} still rocks!

[Rualeen13]

And then to think Korn covered this ^-^

[Michaelduved]

this is so wierd :s

[pumper21]

What da F*** is dis, I Luv it man

[henrypandales]

Download my music from my page web delchoco*com

[tocko92]

what has RNB become theese days? i mean this is pretty good, but new RNB? suck my dick!

[bottlecase1]

omg dude korn took this from gay people!

[VideoMusicManiac]

Larry is so not gay. More like a fetish. Got to love him.

[bottlecase1]

ok lol my bad

[tawewek]

is he wearing a protective groin cup, is cameo scared of someone will kick his nuts...?

[IanM1984]

Gun's version MADE this song.

[MissusFingerBottom]

I knew a black guy sang this! It's too groovy. I wanna dance to this badly.

[Onieracraft]

lol look for the video, it's funny.

[Onieracraft]

Uhh, you can't compare a ROCK remake of a song to the original which was FUNK.

You probably don't get that because you have no understanding of what Funk is whatsoever..

[MissusFingerBottom]

get off your high horse, music is universal, if you love it why do you have to compartmentalize every single little thing? So what if one is rock and one is funk, someone can love both, right?

[Onieracraft]

Because it is only universal for those who "get it".

[Onieracraft]

MissusFingerbottom How are you arguing with me? I'm the one stating that you SHOULD NOT compare a Rock version to a Funk version in disagreement with the commenter stating that the Rock version is better than this one..

[simmspaul]

i want that hat, dat shit is off da hook

[rudieaintgay]

smells of sex

[RedPee2000]

Still Cool in 2009!
