[flaxonx3]

Thought this song was from Tropical Gangsters.

[hevyonez97]

@flaxonx3 it is...lol....in the u.k. it's known as 'tropical gangsters", but here in the u.s. the title was changed to "wise guy" on the sire/ze/warner bros. label in 1982....

[yallop9]

@hevyonez97 Thanks for the info. Was a bit confused as I remember all those hit singles in the UK from 1982 coming from the one album Tropical Gangsters.

[nuwavegurl]

[AngelOfTheNight2007]

[lxolxo7]

This joint is "The SHIT"! It's a bonifide classic! If you don't already know this then why are you peepin' this post? I do agree with some of the other posters though, this video seems totally "commercial"? There are at least a few MUCH BETTER versions of this classic available on YouTube. Please check them out! Pease! J.

[OffTheCompass]

I was so jealous of August! - He had it all.. the looks, the style, the sounds, the attitude... but above all else he had the Coconuts! With Coati Mundi, they made an amazing group. Love them x

[cadillacstr8mk]

It would be great to see Kid Creole on stage with Morris Day that would be one hell of a show.

[traditionalwrestling]

OH man that would be AWESOME! If I ever get the money I'll make it happen!

[cruptbside]

thanks for finding and posting this piece. Kid got around and got props from some of the most respected T.V. personalities.

I've seen them twice. they sound as good live as they do in the studio.

[luvsmovies79]

Whatever happened to Mundi? I dont think he tours with the band anymore.

[luvsmovies79]

LOVE IT!!!

[MSP62]

I had no idea the Kid & Company ever appeared on Merv Griffin! I'll bet some old folks' jaws dropped when they saw this! He was a great man and wonderful talk show host. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

[chukcanuk]

Totally wild. Cheryl doing kid in drag was a neat touch. Good for Merv for having them on. Is the other song from the show coming I hope?

[klangfarben]

No brag, just fact!

This is my all time favorite line up for the band. It's so great to see all these clips from the glory days. Mundi- keep up the good work

[byrd1nypa]

The Kid is cool, Mundi is psycho, the girls are fine, the band is kickin. The best combination, Always loved these guys. Much respect and love
