Chaz Jankel-Number One

[rashanii]

This dude makes some truly dazzling faces.



[chaoticzer0]

Most people will come here cuz of RJ but thumbs up if you remember this from Real Genius!!!

[MrSkinnyboy125]

like if this reminded u of poptarts, shampoo, and crying

[corytyrell]

i hear this and see RJs Dad making that dream thing

[trdidion]

He could b weird al's brother lol

[IamNotHazardous]

from The Blockheads, wow

[pootynubbin]

I can drive a nail through a 2 inch board with my penis! ya know, so I got that going for me.

[mundial8]

7 people are not real geniuses

[drunkdonutboy]

God damn I love this song...and I was wondering who the hell was the artist thanks for posting...

[GNRChiara]

thanks to daddy berger i know this song!

[BazingaBubbleAcid]

RJ Berger anyone?

[winterlounge]

6 people didn't give their all

[straydupshemzy]

DADDY BERGER!!!

[AORCrazy]

Ultra great song, i play it on my '80s parties.

[u2bist]

Great video for a great song! This song and all the Real Genius music always takes me back to my own college chem/phys days. What a time. Wish I'd built a 5MW laser.

[SunRiseGaming]

I see this song on RJ Berger !

[tbdl58860]

This is the song that plays over and over in my head studying! If I do well in my final today I intend to pull a Chris Knight and put the "I aced this" note on the paper :p.

[ladyi7609]

Whoa, Chaz Jankel sure looks like Ric Ocasek minus all the wrinkles and other signs of aging. But damn, he can craft some really great songs -- both here and with Ian Dury & the Blockheads. And of course, this song totally MAKES Real Genius what it is. Chris Knight is a total hero, Mitch is a cool kid, and Jordan is my inspiration! If I didn't suck at drafting, I might be an engineer today!

[therealsoulproduct]

Yes, I do remember this classic tune. I love Chaz's work with Ian Dury and the Blockheads too. He really brought the FUNK to that sound.

[nextblain]

aahh old times when lyrics made sense...

[oceantalk1]

@digitalguy93

a lot of those so called new songs,can not be called songs because they are utter rubbish and garbage.

it shows that a lot of so called artist of today have no talent at all and it also shows by the trash they call songs that is dragging the nation to hell.

this song called number 1 makes sense and has a message and inspirational theme,which you probably know nothing about.

but artist like chazz and other artist from the 80's created real authentic music now enjoy!

[oceantalk1]

@digitalguy93 artist of today most of them are so void and lacking talent they could never write a song that will hold up through generations like songs of the 80' do. that says it all...

but I happen to be one of the few who can,you know why I grew up on great music like this in the eighties..

enjoy.

songs and artist from the eighties are the elite in music supremacy always remember this.

this song is about winning and coming in 1 place

winners don't do drugs.....

[reimann4]

I loved this song in Real Genius. Thanks for posting the video!

[capitalistpigdogus]

The weak 'playing the invisible piano' bit at 3:00 just makes this all the more 80s-awesome.

[ailorablue]

I've always liked this song but I'm kind of obsessed with it just now...

[montsrubi]

eighties child and proud of it, good memories

[montsrubi]

eighties chlid and proud of it, good memories

[meetdiamond]

"Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?" ----- anyone remember?..... loved Real Genius

[saxuality3]

@Chevypower265 that is one of the funniest scenes in the movie! Sadly, it never happened during any of my crazy study sessions in HS or college *sad face* I seriously don't care how many times I hear this song, I just love it!

[BadAndy]

Sir, or lady, I cannot thank you enough for this find!

[Flagman00]

Another song that I can't get on mp3 from Amazon.com

[ELGORITHM]

Hit

[BOSSDIZ]

I'M #1

[steveofnazareth]

looks like a sober Peter Wolf

[LordAnomaly]

Damn I miss the 80's

[Thepharcyde4ever]

Real Genius FTW! Awesome song for an awesome movie

[unjolieange]

Like the song, love the movie, this video scares me. Actually, to be specific, Chaz Jankel scares me.

[haggis357]

Stop at around 0:20. Epic win of a face.

[jurisd0ct0r]

I used to play this song over and over again while I was st\dying for the Bar Exam.

[Boredin81]

OMG, just when I thought my thoughts couldn't get any more random..... I guess we are all a step away from each other, aren't we?! LOL . Thanks for posting!

[windscar15]

god, his album covers were creepy.

[matrioscadesupresas]

hey guys does anyone knows who is the girl on the video? Not who sings on the song because she is probably some B list actress from the 80's but for she, with her beauty and simplicity from the 80's that I miss so much. Can somebody help me and write her name over here please?!

[tungt88]

@matrioscadesupresas

The actress's name is Michelle Meyrink

[perceval200777]

film de legende 80's

[saxuality3]

Real Genius FTW!

[Chevypower265]

@saxuality3 Whenever I hear this song I always think of that movie and the guy that finally cracks and starts screaming and runs away..lol.

[arn0ldaar0n]

Oh man,I miss the 80s girls.....

[farrboss]

Great tune from a SUPER flick! God bless you for posting this!

[gptvproductions]

outstanding. thanks for posting. another inspiring 80's montage song

[TheArt9981]

OMG!! I love you for posting this...I am so a REAL GENIUS nerd...thanks...

[GamerBoy53]

Awesome. I think if I had a male kid I'd name him Chaz, or Chad. Pretty sweet names right there.

[farrboss]

Great tune from a FANTASTIC film! Thank you for posting!

[Nanoforge1]

I think they used this in one of the trailers for Monster Squad.

[essertpitay]

Wasn't He the manager of the Animals at some stage ?...

[Neurodisco77]

@essertpitay

Good question, but he isn't.

I think you confused him with Chas Chandler,

Animals' bassist, then Hendrix Experience and Slade's manager.

Chas Jankel was keyboard player (and often songs'author) with

Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

[essertpitay]

@Neurodisco77 You know what, I always wondered what a strange sideways from managing Hendrix...Thanks for putting me right...

[Neurodisco77]

@essertpitay

Pleasure was mine.

By the way, did you like The Blockheads ?

[CuervoBlack06]

Do you mind if I name my first child after you? "Dipshit Knight" has a nice ring to it.

[wildmann23]

This song was just perfect for the scene in "Real Genius" mitch and chris working together to make a 5 mgs watt laser work.

Let's remember these songs from the 80's...lets keep their memories alive in the near future.

[stvarreguin]

This song made me go out and make more money, I chased contracts, got more money, and it just fuckin inspires me, to get moving and have fun. I am so happy to see this movie. Thanks Chaz!!!!

[Geprodis]

Chaz Jankel is my Number One nigga

[francoisfourmix]

Super vieux tube que de souvenirs

[captainpiccard]

NOSTALGIA MUCH!

[frenchwildcat]

This song is number one !

So 80'S ! Fantastic ! I can't stop listening to it !

[physicalgenius]

[shannonm75]

[Felicia7188]

[notToast]

[batfly]

I loved the movie Real Genius and the soundtrack had a lot to do with it!

Thank you for posting this!

[moscje]

where did you find this video...!?!?!

[tubellarbells]

This song passed by unnoticed on the radio but it's a great one. He did some movie scores back in the mid 80's and one of the greatest disco tunes of all times to me - Glad to Know You.

[DeadMansPartyFilms]

I want this song!!! I can't find it anywhere!!!!!

[Idunnowotmynameis]

amazon. best of chaz jankel

[electriclime1017]

All right! Now let's push it to the limit...bitches!

[AORCrazy]

Damn this song is great! Sad we don't have this stuff today anymore!

[tkthemonster]

This guys kinda looks like Ben Stiller! lol....

[caligari89]

The video is a fraction too soon for the audio, but nevertheless, great find. Great song, too. Chaz is not the coolest of the bunch, though.

Geek central ! Those moves...

[narahimi]

Warm memories of the 80s. ahh..

[joysticklover]

awesomest 80s movie

[BradfordX2]

Lol he looks like Pastor Joel Osteen. Cool Song and movie.

[PJD1960]

Osteen is a Demonic faggot!!!!

[jfunk513]

Looks exactly like Joel Osteen, even similar facial expressions as well.

[jylie]

This is on my iPod and I listen to on the way to work everyday!!

[AYRYZIGER]

Wow~ Finding this video must have been almost archeological!!~ ;-P

This song fits perfectly to that scene in the Real Genius movie.

Close-ups on fingers playing keyboards...so 80s...lol~

[GeneralTrousers]

Very Naked Eyes-ish

@

[Kagebushin01]

Real Genius rox loved that movie made me aspire to head to MIT for my college

[wintermute47]

@Kagebushin01

[Kagebushin01]

@wintermute47 roflol no i ended up kinda like the guy who cracks during this song lol but actually im using what i took from it and going Mixology for bar tending and cooking its real nice now i study Fuel Cells and such as more of a hobby

[Kagebushin01]

but dont let anyone tell you ya cant do something they said i'd never get in but i did so its all good

[ladyvharsen]

@Kagebushin01 That's AWESOME!! What was/is your field?

I saw 'Real Genius' during the summer between 5th and 6th grade and now I'm a chemist and a nuclear engineer. The part where they were talking about the chemical matrices on the whiteboard and the solid state---at 10 y/o, I decided that I was going to master that subject.

[Kagebushin01]

@ladyvharsen I was going for BioEngineering and at that time the begining of Nanotechnology it was awesome but unfortuneatly math was a crapshoot for me because of my dyslexia, also the Tuition was higher than i could handle so I came back to Texas and attended my final years here now Im rocking it lol

[shawnperine]

Wow is this rare! Good one!

[captainkeoni]

BRILLIANT

[saivo12]

[dbzburst]

[EliyshevaLovesYahweh]

Such a yellow-teeth era...

[gracie5061]

ha ha ha! the pre-whitening days...

[oldcomforter]

Im always amazed at the clueless people on youtube.

[SunnyDaysRFun]

@oldcommforter.... Your always amazed at the clueless people on youtube? I am always amazed at the great ability, talent and intelligence found on youtube of which you have none.

[oldcomforter]

what a burn

[jetershomie]

I spoke to Chaz on myspace, he was a very nice dude. He worked with my dad on some material in the 80's. He's a great song writer.

[bigdbc]

I also spoke to him on myspace. He's very friendly and responded quickly to my message to him. I never worked with him or know anyone who has but he still was willing to chat with me.

[navyaircrewman]

*laughs* He looks like he could be a close relative of Michael Phelps (the Olympic swimmer). Coincidence with this video?! You decide. :p

[vampcompany]

thanks SAIVO,  does she have a website or anything ?

[Joffadell]

Holy cow, where did you find this?

[coolies33]

wow look at his face! hahahahahah lmao

[vampcompany]

whats the name of the cute girl in this vid ?

[saivo12]

it is Tessa Niles (still alive), she is a favoured vocalist in many productions by Trevor Horn.

[saivo12]

unforgettable vid!! i love 80's

Number one is a hard time in the making

Number two is the one plane I'm not taking

Number three goes on one knee for a token

Number four is the short straw but it's broken

I'd give my all just to be number one

[newedition2006]

BEST SOUNDTRACK OF 1985!

[UklaTheMokk]

The synth solo in the middle always makes me want to scream.

HA! HAA! HA! HAAAAA! HAAAAAAAAAAAH! HAAAAAAAAAAAH! HAAAAAAAAAAAAH! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[velocikat]

Yeah, how can you NOT think about that guy's meltdown! :-)

[captainkeoni]

[Chevypower265]

LOL Thats funny!

[Chevypower265]

I've been number one before, Its awsome! Every since then I've always tryed to be number one!

[RickHenry]

Excellent... thank you for posting this!

[jason75]

gracie5061 ( I was in highschool in the 80's, cloth now and music now suck, cloth are flamboyant, music sucks, this rap crap is poluting kids mines, they act black when there white, thats pathethic, wonder why i'm still stuck in the past, 50's through the 80's after that it went belly up.

[coldthunder31]

Every time I study for a test I think of this song...

[Adem242]

whenever I go to take a test at my college, I run the campus then up the stairs in the building I'm taking the test in. This song gets my mind going and relaxes my nerves.

[joysticklover]

i swear this thing gets my ass going to kick some stupid ass !

[UnderseaCaveman]

Great Movie ("Real Genius")....Val is N1, Chris Knight

but, Lazo cracks me (the real N1)!

What was the kid's name again?

[hdoriel1979]

His name was Mitch.

[haywood86]

God I hate 80's hair

[gracie5061]

gotta love 80's videos. cheesy hair and clothes!

[jurisd0ct0r]

I love the part when he shakes his ass and plays the air piano. It's so corny, it's actually cool.

[thecoun]

Love this song. Love Real Genius. Don't the two go great together?

[KadenUK]

does anyone know the name of that beautiful girl in this video ?

[jackel44]

I don't know but she is strangely familiar. I like her hair. That look needs to come back.

[jessefairknuckle]

Isn't Real Genius the best?!!??

[erin9737]

good song =)

[roaming80]

Wow I haven't heard this one for a along time!

[klaus797]

can't believe I - finally - found this on YouTube!!!! Thanks a lot!!! Fabulous!

[DORGET]

Wouah ! ça fait du bien de revoir cette chanson, surtout qu'à l'époque, ce n'était pas évident d'avoir une chaine musicale pour voir les clips du moment. En effet, je ne l'avais jamais vu moi! Je me régale aujourd'hui! Merci pour cette vidéo!

[CBRAMBO]

Always liked the song and it's good to see the video at last. This is from the time before MTV became CRAPTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chiiives]

Amazing song, as is the movie Real Genius it goes with.

Thank you so much for this video.

[lepazoga1]

The best 80's song ever.....

[BrightWave]

One of the best and forgotten songs of the 1980s. Real Genius wouldn't be the same without it.

[MetalGearPaneer]

i agree, real genius was really good with it

[TimNP61278]

[bbryan30]

When I heard this song on the movie "Real Genius", I instantly feel in love with it. After a lot of hard work searching I was finally able to find out that Chaz Jankel sang it.

[ElGranAlf]

Genial!!!. Llevaba años buscando esta canción de la BSO de escuela de Genios.

[JorgeDix]
