[Mrjablles69]

My dad had an affair with Al Jarreau...in kindergarten

[MrTomRH]

I banged Al Jarreau at High School.

Twice. 

[isleoforkney]

My Dad gave Al Jareau's Dad a wedgie at High School

[isleoforkney]

My Dad went to High School with Al Jareau's grandmother's Godson. this is true, please ignore the other two comments claiming that their dad went to High School with Al Jarreau's Dad, it's obviously made up. BOTH OF THEM?????

NAME THAT SCHOOL THEN! YES YOU! GO ON..............NAME IT!

[Smoer1]

@isleoforkney relax man, my comment clearly was a joke.

[isleoforkney]

wicked! How do yo sing out your nose like that? get your top off, you got a great pair of nipples, and I aint even gay!!!!

[JihadBunnydick]

My Dad played hookie at high school with Al Jarreau

[Ivanchanelxd]

[kershaw95beast]

my dad used to jog with Al when he and Al both lived in Studio City in the late eighties

[daliks]

Al Jarreau is in my math class..

[fireflocs]

Pause at 0:34.

It sees your soul.

[JihadBunnydick]

@fireflocs Fuck that was creepy!! Kill it with fire before it lays eggs creepy owl man

[rvkan]

My dad went to high school when Al Jarreau wasn't even born yet. Wow, how interesing. Really? Amazing lack of coincidence there. 

[Saturn5ive]

My Dad Went To Al Jarreau High School.

[poyntsorrells]

A SKATIST!! FA SHO!! Primarily most of anyone who appreciate the jazz-arts(early 80's and below apply only) are aplicable. Surely the immature will respond as they are, and your bad in advance! .................go on.......... say sumthin' stupid........... and my reply is........... look at yourself.......... as I induldge in REAL music. Now douche.

[wesclot]

no of course no one wants to go waltzing in the garden....they were listening to the Ministry Of Sound : The Ultimate Workout until you came along. Notice how the young dudes eyes light up when he hears him ask though

[chacbatako]

my son is al jarreau

[Pazco2012]

My Dad fucked Al Jarreau High At School

[Finalskyway]

omg

[jazzrad69]

WOW!!!!!



[wonderwhaz797]

Al Jarreau must look back at this video and say to himself, thank god I had the dignity not to wear glossy neon blue spandex back then.

[wonderwhaz797]

0:30 Bill Cosby describing his crazy wife.

[wonderwhaz797]

zuz eeneewhon wunna go whalzin inda ghardan?? By any chance, was this video made in the eighties??? I remember this video when MTV first came out. Me and my brother used to laugh at it back then.

[Ilovekebab1]

0:32

[yesornot1]

It is so sad to hear my young colleagues at work saying "Al Jarreau?? never heard". They are born in the early 80's and missed this genius. I have to give them a record of Al Jarreau as present for Christmas!

[mixedbrunette]

The guy at 0:32 cracks me up xD

[Smoer1]

My Dad Was High At School With Al Jarreau.

[Dirtydancerlover72]

@Smoer1 True words ?

[Smoer1]

@Dirtydancerlover72 No man:p, I was high at the time I read Randomanddifferent's comment and misread it. Decided to post how I've read it:). Just like Al jarreau:D.

I do find it funny everyone is posting "my...al jarreau"-comments now:p.

[RandomAndDifferent]

My Dad Went To High School With Al Jarreau.

[duskop18]

[edys64]

Yeaaaah Jazzy-Groovy the best part

[ztube41]

Que de souvenirs ! Incontestablement l'un des meilleurs morceaux jazz-pop du siècle et des autres, peut-être...

[christianfff]

we have this song as a music project in school, it's so awesome to play

[puppypoo1978]

i'm trying to find videos before I had MTV. THis was one that was played on HBO's Video Jukebox to provide filler between movies. Love it!!

[floyjoy]

@puppypoo1978 You are right. I thought I saw this on Video Soul. This video played in the early days of cable TV. Other videos that I remember during this time are "Rockit" by Herbie Hancock and the "Genius of Love" by the Tom Tom Club.

[selectajay2000]

gay

[Krokstad]

Å FY FAEN! FUNKY SHIT ASSÅ, OSTEPOP!

[alexcaracas69]

THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

[YOitzhannah]

Hahaha omg i'm crying hahahaha

[DraconicXX]

what album is this song on?!! I need to know that =)

[MyJunior1975]

@DraconicXX From his 1981 album "Breakin' Away"- the same album that had "We're In This Love Together".

[ABshookme]

This is a typical example how you see programs in TV making fun of music videos made in the 70-80’s

[Millanguage]

All videos were this bad, or way worse, until MJ made Thriller and Billy Jean.

[Millanguage]

This is one of the best jazz artists ever. If you don't know him, you just don't know anything about music. Maybe you are not used to listening to it, but that's just because they don't make songs like these anymore. Most music today is artificial and they copy a lot of songs from the eighties, which proofs that that was a great era for music.

Dancing wasn't at the level that it's on now. Especially not for white people. You can tell. But we were used to it at the time.

[gercav155]

who is the hot chick in purple with orange leggings? wow!!!

[Millanguage]

@gercav155 She's probably old, fat and gray by now.

[gercav155]

@Millanguage You're right, I'm sure, but in this vid she's a timeless beauty!

[mcgo0974]

why does this not have 1,000,000 views?????

[MRAwesome1968]

Well....this is what the 80s looked like on TV and the movies, but I tell ya what...If men wore clothes like this where I'm from we would have thought they were gay.

[justobc]

Horrible video, but excelent music. I like Al Jarreau music!!

[valtonezone]

love you Mr. Jarreau! my Mommie loved you too! This was our jam!!

"Partay ... well ...let's partay yall.. Partay" ....!!

[quemacha]

Justin Bieber's entire fanbase doesn't like this video.

[fisteberg]

@quemacha We don't care of justin bieber.CHange your channel please!!and don't prevent us from listening to this song and tune.Justin is fucking bad next to AL jarreau.he's just a teenager with no such talent so CHANGE CHANNEL GO AWAY.

[quemacha]

@fisteberg

It was a joke. Eleven people hit the "dislike" button, so I suggested that those eleven people represented Bieber's entire fanbase.

[cctrunner6]

The horn lick at 1:35 makes them all bend over haha

[lani3000]

My dad used to play AL all the time. So glad he hipped me to GOOD MUSIC!

[tynisa092856]

This is my all time favorite song by Al Jarreau it's fun and no can sing it like him.

I also like Teach Me Tonite

[p00pybu77]

the fact that this can exist makes me so happy

[isopod666]

This song is realy, REALY BAD!!!!! One of the worst song ever!! Totaly lame, fake and gay. How can people freely lsten to this song! This guy can't even sing with his PING PONG!! So people, do the world a favor and ban this f#cking song!!!!!

[brainsareus]

@isopod666 you need to trade your brain, for a fresh dog turd. you got short changed, by your genetics. you, could only dream, of having one tenth, of al jarreau's talent,you sorry ass fool!!!

[kippis05]

@isopod666 I'm going to find you, tie you up and throw you off a roof. (with a garden on it, of course)

[vvooppaa]

@isopod666 you dont even know...what do you listen to, Little Wayne?

[pijirama]

@isopod666 You shorly must have sh***t in your ears and be totally brainless about music foundations, and believe me that this turns really serious if you're american!...I'm not american but I have the honour in appreciating one of the most extraordinaire pieces of true american music fusion culture! I think you should study your own culture before bark nonsense!...:-)

[isopod666]

@pijirama you fucking piece of shit. I'm not a stupid fucking fat american! Fuck american music fusion culture and above all: fuck yourself, you fucking twat

[pijirama]

@isopod666 I ADDRESS TO YOU YOUR BEAUTIFUL AND NICE WORDS TO ME! YOU'VE JUST CONFIRMED YOUR BRAIN WAS REPLACED BY DOG POO!...

[Zari7000]

They can not dance. moving around without listening to the beat of the music is a turn off. al was the only one on beat. White people can not dance. And thats a fact.

[pijirama]

@Zari7000 Only you to make me laugh dude!....lololololololol I'm white and I can really dance to this funky gem! Why don't you take some lessons too??????????

[Zari7000]

@pijirama White boy shut up! Dancing comes naturally. You don't take lessons if you can dance.lol Like i said this white clones can not dance,they mess up the video.

[pijirama]

@Zari7000 Well, you're absolutely right on your point! If this dancing comes naturally you just have to let yourself go with the vibe! :-)

[8comfortable]

am i the only one who finds it hilarious they're NOT in a roof garden? LOL love al, tho.

[fisteberg]

A goodie.GOOd music,good rythm,good dancers and good voice...sweet voice a.When i was seventeen i just thought he was speaking through his nose.A comical singer,it looks like a scene play.

[LynnxHearts]

[Dx6976208]

he's unique.

[spiritpathseeker]

How much more 80's could this video be?! Hilarious that I used to actually look and dress like that! Thanks for the nostalgia and for great memories of a BOOMING economy in a time when we were carefree and we really didn't understand how prosperous we truly were. Good times remembered.......if only I could return, if only for a while......

[jedimaster411]

That one brotha is hard as a brick lol

[T00AcefordisPlace]

There is one good reason for this being the most awesome video ever; It's Chuck Norris on the piano

[aihoschema]

@T00AcefordisPlace absolutely! XD I never knew Chuck played such a mean Fender Rhodes piano. Almost as good as George Duke ;-)

[hmart47]

Step 1. Pause

Step 2. Press 4

Step 3. cringe, and realize that the girl behind him is looking at his junk,

[brianab31]

@hmart47 Uh, if it's the guy in the t-iiiight blue spandex pants, she can't help it. Nor can I, for that matter.

[dmdadp]

how much blow was involved in the making of this video???

[25411959]

Great tune AND VIDEO from the summer of `82! I sure miss those days!

[CJSTUF]

The tune is awesome. The video is painful! :-)

[MrGeno502]

Happy 71st birthday Al Jarreau!

[fisteberg]

[94Charly94]

He is really one of the greatest artist of the world !

[BBT609]

[BBT609]

HAHAHAH 0:33!!!

[port2344chester]

DANCE UP ON THE ROOF...LOL clasSICK!

[petme6]

Those days the videos were really simple - low budget - but the music was great. Today. Hi volume high budget videos - but most music is of low qualitity... sexy ass and big boobs more important. Sex sells...

Al Jarreau is one of the best!

[Kalemanao]

Very cool... Yet, another new favorite Al Jarreau video!

[Kalemanao]

Very cool... Yet, another new favorite Al Jarreau video!

[Jellogel]

I did not get this at all when I was a kid, I guess I wasn't hip back then, lol

[floyjoy]

I saw this video on cable tv back in the early 80s. This early music video represents all the other music videos that would burst on the cable tv scene.

[kenneth804]

The ironic thing is that they are not dancing on a roof garden.

[kippis05]

@kenneth804 it's too cold outside to waltz and dance in spandex. :D

[MCGEHEE1]

5 stars!

[denienec123]

@Jinx9516 LMAO! Although I LOVE Al Jarreau, u r so right!!!

[FourthRO]

I remember dancing to this... not exactly like in the video

[Jinx9516]

The whole part from 1:33- 1:43 was pretty difficult to watch...

[Jinx9516]

@Jinx9516 same with any part with that group.

[isleoforkney]

@Jinx9516 Why Jinx, are you gay?

[Jinx9516]

@isleoforkney Well, I don't know about you, but most straight people I know don't like having a guy's buldge in their face. Though I do know some girls like that... I really do not. Especially not in some blue type of spandex...

[jspowjpswpodhjwpoh]

@Jinx9516 Only "most", did the remainder say if would have been ok if the sandex was say green.

[jspowjpswpodhjwpoh]

ooops even spandex

[Tori42]

OMGoodness, The guy at 0:11 looks like Magic Johnson at first glance, LOL

[Jazzticism]

Love this !

[bowlingbal2]

oh god.... its so fucking awesome....

[isleoforkney]

@bowlingbal2 what? awesome? are you American? swearing too, what's your point bowlingbal2? Do you have low self esteem?

[08marathon]

@bowlingbal2 Why do some little boys put swearing in their responses?

[bowlingbal2]

@08marathon why are u trolling?

[08marathon]

@bowlingbal2 whats with the foul language trying to sound tough, please grow up with your childish comments!!!!
