El Debarge - Who's Johnny

[metcom]

always a good look back in the 80s

[rtm4jc]

DeBarge was a great group! I miss this kind of music. Today's music suck!

[DISSALINED1]

thids was the shit back in the 80's. we never knew that liking this stuff was like loving bubble gum music. we just heard great music and fell for it. really good stuff.

[killersushi99]

Stupid video. Cool song! Whats cool about a criminal court proceeding? Nothing I tell you. Nothing at all.

[sheenabdabom]

"No disassemble Johnny 5!"

I love this song and the Short Circuit movies lol

[larsmith36]

This is good way back in the day shit.

[knowplay]

El has 11 kids. He is still in prison at the moment. And the Debarge family was friends with Jermaine as he was their producer for awhile. So they were tied to the Jacksons, but mostly only dealt with Jermaine Jackson and Berry Gordy.

[JoshLucas5]

He does seem to have a Jackson sound to his song.

[ghjk75]

nope el is still in jail for posession of crack cocaine

[wingchundragon]

Plus I think El is out of jail now..hopefully he can save R&B !!!

[LoveBeautyMusicAngel]

"Unsung" said they only did one vid.

[mrsdottie514]

Debarge is hot, all of them....he can chase me down the boulevard in my panties any day.....yall remember that?

[odiccc]

but can i do that

[mrsdottie514]

rotfl

[fckinhawt01]

el debarge is the shit

and for the people saying that el debarge is gay...no he is NOT

i never understood when a male artist is singing and doing their thing..people question their sexuality??!!

i cant understand that for the life of me

[woodie62]

They said the same probably of Philip Bailey(Earth Wind & Fire) and he has a truck load of kids. I could name scores more but it would do no good. People believe whatever they want.

[jerrymaguire32]

Lead singer looks like Halle Berry

[amberwhoa1]

you are really right about that WADROS

[wadros]

El actually had a pretty wholesome look. Looks can be deceiving, but he could have become a megastar. He has an incredible smile, soft eyes, and a nice voice. He could have really gotten big if he had stayed clean.

[Godzilla1985]

I feel gayer for watching this.

[noshawty1]

i think of short circuit everytime i hear this..i love el debarge

[LLANGSTON69]

I swear to God. If I have to be subjected to this video again, I'm killing myself. I'm not kidding.

[aqueencee1]

you have gone off the deep end didn't you?

[Pinwormx]

Reminds me of that one irritating neighbor who just kept saying "Who is Johnny?", over and over again.

[freddyfan62]

For an '80's video though, El Debarge is incredibly sexy and he could've been a superstar in the same caliber as Michael Jackson was.

[fckinhawt01]

exactly

[y928]

yes great song.

love it.

[freddyfan62]

anyone else notice the old school VHS player at 1:16 ish? I had one of those styles as well as a BETA player. Funny!

[BenJabituya]

Yep. I once had one of those. It was a Panasonic portable VHS..

[freddyfan62]

Loved the movie Short Circuit which is the movie in this. Johnny Five reminds me of Wall-E. Awesome song!

[BenJabituya]

Johnny 5 reminds me of R.O.B. for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

[cvzdez]

dad was abusive and some sexual abuse in the family

then drugs

[simon71590]

Great voice! His look does remind me just a little bit like prince though

[wingchundragon]

how this man did not become the next michael jackson??he had it! The voice and was very good looking!

[DanityKaneRulz]

i know right?!...his voice and his family's voice would have tooken them to places like no other

beautiful family with gorgeous voices

[PopCulture20]

i'm a 20 yr old who a Debarge fan lol. This was the song that made me a fan

[ollieroks]

debarges brother messed it up for him. he date Janet Jackson and was abusive to her. so janets dad told barry gordy to drop him. so it ended for him. poor guy.

[BernardProfitendieu]

'cause he didn't want to be a pedophile and get profoundly bad plastic surgery -- that's why

[wingchundragon]

so instead he became a crackhead and do 2 stints in jail--right

[BernardProfitendieu]

beats taking advantage of minors.

I don't think those were his only two choices in life ... maybe in your world, yes, but not in the rest of the world

go listen to your pedophile records again and boohoohoo over the funeral a little more (maybe even put on your tacky indoor sunglasses and glove and pretend you're there!!)

[wingchundragon]

taking pretty personal there...Why all the hate on Michael Jackson on an El DeBarge video??!! Dont hate if the world luvs the "pedophile" and his 4 decades worth of music.

[HEADBANGING69]

I love this song and this group made the 80's a great time to be a kid.

[wasilenkorenee]

i have a bf named johhny

weird

[Ginette75]

Whos????!!!!

[Triple3Deuce2]

whos connie, chung

[sgoodwin1204]

Who is Johnny?? Use to love this song!!!

[BenJabituya]

1:10 & 2:10. El sure has the hots for Ally Sheedy!

[BernardProfitendieu]

you don't know what that means?!?

I'll use it in a sentence, maybe that will help...

Michael Jackson always had the hots for 11 year old boys. ... get it now?

[shutupnlistentome]

Shut up and leave me alone jackass.

I already know what it means Smart One.

[Loucifer4007]

LOL, Steve guttenberg at the end is hilarious, so cheezy...

[fightfan7]

best movie

[tennisgirl013]

he was a hottie when he was young! lol

[LynRuiz]

Still a hottie. He still looks the same. Pretty as heck and yummy to the eyes!

[TAMCLIF92]

SO 80'S I LOVE IT

[rljames54]

[Jerryberlin]

Great Song!

[pylprincess]

I thought this was Prince.

[Wonkie6060]

He was so fine!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarnellMajor]

i was just dancing off this song. the 80s rock!!!

[Katherinekittykatkat]

luv this song

[katrina72]

Never met El would like to but ive met Chico and hes such a sweety.....Love to the Debarge family

[beautifulliar345]

el dabarge is my cousin im serious who's johnny was my uncles name i sware to god i raise my right hand to god i sware he's my cousin!but dont ask me anything about his private life cause i wont tell you anything

[sweetiepie01]

Hmm i see your s/n is 'beautiful LIAR' for a reason (not sure about the beautiful part). Don't come on here lying cause I know his daughter Adris and his son El Jr. and know if you're sptting ish. :)Besides, what the point of lying about that anyway? Do you want a medal?

[LeidraLawson]

I love this classic, oldie but goody.

[npeavley1450]

its prince little sister...princess!.....

this song makes me think of SHORT CURCIT...JOHNNY 5 is ALIVE!!!!!

[Tre404]

um... could it be because there are CLIPS FROM THE MOVIE IN IT???

[RangerGordon]

It's kinda funny--when I hear an El Debarge tune from the '80s I usually assume it's Michael Jackson.

El Debarge rocks!

[RangerGordon]

Also, Ally Sheedy is hot!

[lbettyboop28]

NO El's HOTTT!!!!

[marc4859]

My brother thoght the same, about him being Michael Jackson.

I knoew straight away it wasn't (I'm an impersonator) but I can understand why he thought so. They sound similar to an extent.

[Rumblefan]

In retrospect, this wasn't a bad song. My only problem is that no one appreciated 80's pop/soul. BTW, this video reminds me of small wonder.

[killersushi99]

A video where the song and actors are not at all working together! The song was not improved by the movie tie in!

[nisabahrim]

I'm so happy to be able to view and listen to this piece again...it is wonderful...

[Chicagogo30]

This is the most hilarious thing I've seen in weeks. It's still the best video ever made for $50. I would give anything to talk to someone who was an extra in this...

[shandi1122]

Wasn' the lead singer married to Janet Jackson for a couple of yrs, cute song and cute guy to match

[starblazer66]

El? No. His younger brother was married to her.

[cbikle]

That judge did a terrible job controlling his court.

Seriously though, thanks for posting this.

I think it's funny that they used a cardboard stand for Steve Guttenberg; guess he was busy.

Imagine getting blown off by Steve Guttenberg.

Crazy world.

[asdffd]

"I think it's funny that they used a cardboard stand for Steve Guttenberg; guess he was busy.

LOL!

[Tre404]

LOL!!!

[Kelski1998]

@cbikle

I cant remember the year I think it was 1986 when Short Circuit came out. And in 1987 Guttenberg had 5 films out that year. Possibly Steve was shooting another film at the time this video was mader ergo couldnt be in two places at once!

[trafa0270]

aaaaaaahahahahaha... great video

[wingchundragon]

he looks a lot like his older brother Bobby Debarge whom died

[yassylane]

He is not gay he was just arrested for beating his wife and he was found to have cocaine in his blood. He is a wife beater!

[marc4859]

This is a excellent song and a great film.

[apoldhtagum]

short circuit!!! thats my ol tym favorite movie...i was in grade 3 at that time, now im olready 31,,, whew!!! memeories!!!

[fightfan7]

brings me back when i was a kid

[BenJabituya]

I still got this song on my MySpace! El DeBarge sure made a good song. Good enough for My 106-1 FM in Philly to play.

[SHERIBEAR609]

I still love El

[LoliLoli83]

Wow...the 80's...thats all I have to say...great song nontheless...

[amme9nowlin]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHHA . . exactly what i was just. . the 80s. .actually was thinking ally sheedy or however u spell it! rat packer. . .oh man

[carlitosenitalia]

I remember this song from when I was a kid but I never managed to watch the video at the time. Now thanks to youtube I've got the chance to see those artists that were so significant at that moment in my life :)

[chrisn0va]

see this is what we get.. kids growing up with shows like trailer park boys thinkings its cool + funny to trash talk people publicly...

[chrisn0va]

why is it theres always someone who has to speak rudely or disgusting in pubic forums.. !? what if there are small children on this?????? have some respect for yourself and your world

[yvonnelich]

childhood memories

[lordmerlin10]

What was Steve Guttenburg's problem, why wasn't he or the Indian guy in this film! hot damn!

[jockboy24]

this neltim guy is an evolutionary throwback.

[neltim]

I was in bellingham, washington the other day, I saw some graffiti on the sidewalk at a park. It read: "Fuck you stupid jock faggot". Pretty random, but I laughed my ass off nonetheless. Faggot jock.

[jockboy24]

yeah, that's funny, because i saw some graffiti that said "outspoken anti-gay sentiment is indicative hidden homo-lust". I thought of neltim, and i laughed. He clearly wants a big cock in his ass.

[neltim]

Im gay

[neltim]

Man, look at this fag. If that were my kid and he came home singing this crap and dressed like that, I would beat him and throw him in the pool. Fag.

[jockboy24]

well neltim, you're a douchebag.

[neltim]

yeah, so is your slutty mom

[lordmerlin10]

Hey that's rude El debarge is a great singer and nice dresser. Your the fag.

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

El De Barge is not gay. The reason why his hair is curly is because he's biracial (he's mother is Black and his father is White) and that's how most people dressed in the 1980's

[fluentinjapanese]

Sensing a lot of anger here. Are you sure you don't need to see a psychiatrist?

[ramslgordon]

Eyes gave her away. What a pretty sentiment. greeat catchy tune, pure 80s with the trumpets in the background!

[MsChissa]

[kcro25]

Blastin' this awesome tune while drivin' a fire engine red IROC-Z with T-tops. Not me, but I think you get the Idea!

[MsChissa]

without a care in the world

[JiggaJagga]

He looks a bit like Chris Brown.

[ronssexybikerbae]

I love this song. Its so cool. And its almost catchy

ronssexybikerbabe

[BenJabituya]

Aww Yeah! This song played on My 106-1 FM last night! I was surprised that they did, so my cousins and uncle jammed along as I sang along!

[buntykillagirl]

The eighties...........those were the days, to be young and hip.

[rafaelsiegel]

This video is the reason youtube was invented. The 80's were such a fun and carefree time n terms of music and videos.

[reignofjerm]

Greatest song ever!!!

[BenJabituya]

Agreed! Needs more airplay on the radio for throwback stations.

[slimeytoes]

I knew Steve Guttenberg was a bit stiff... but that's too much

[RehcamretsneF]

at 1:23, the guy who points at the TV, is that the old doctor from Scrubs?

[RehcamretsneF]

omg lmao, thats the chick. haha. couldn't tell

[mario31c]

who's johnny mu fuckers

[leilanibeepbeep]

here is johnny!!!

[Tejano44]

Gran video !

[gaIIery]

Great song. Sheedy was pretty cute, too. It'd be interesting to know where Guttenberg was when they were shooting this video.

[ctrlaltde]

I LOVE El Debarge! You Tube is cooler every day!

[Malamockq]

Lol that's some advanced VCR at 1:10

I love this song XD

[BricktownBubba]

Yeah, it cost as much as a Blu Ray player today.

[Trac88Lennon]

Try to find the music video to "Love Always" by El Debarge. I remember watching it since last year.

[vmelkon]

The song is from Short Circuit. Sweet!
