Rupert Holmes - Escape (The Pina Colada Song) Live 1979

[TheLittleRaccoon]

oh yes, Dick Figures!!

Best music is used in funny films etc. .... just thinking of Scrubs ;D <3

[TheGet666]

Thumbs up if Dickfigures got you here

[TheeFionaaaaa]

Lol thumbs up if grown ups brought you here!

[scyfox]

Piña Colada ^^

[MrSmilyface04]

this is real music

[odert1883]

grown ups



[EricTheMultipleMan]

A couple finds out they were both about to cheat on each other, and their marriage is given a relit passion. Yeah, that happens a lot.

[BLOOredd]

cracked.com

[snacks123]

the sweetest thing LOL

[JamesAndrews5150]

I brought this song back. You're welcome.

[medusa7ful]

Brings back wonderful memories!

[JiminyKracker]

What an awful, awful song! The dude may have been about to cheat, but for all he knows that ad was running for a year and he's about chow down on the remnants of dozens of creampies. Just wash it down with a Pina Colada...

[mjcabooseblu]

I feel like a badass because I came here without being linked by some random show.

[VegetaZA]

I'm here cos of Grown Ups!

[TheFlashAtlas]

1:58 over and over plz

[Craigipedia]

haha, he must have been a TERRIBLE boyfriend for the first however many years/months of their empty relationship... then when they got over the mutual cheating they had a fun story to tell at parties for the rest of their time together

[Sk8teboard1ng]

gucci and prada :D

[g3nov3s]

Rupert Holmes - he's easily the most forgettable one-hit wonder of all time. Just look at the guy. That's not the face of a rock star. That's the face of a man whose only course in life should be a major in furniture sales with a minor in inappropriate touching.

[RickyScarlet]

@g3nov3s Haha, that comment had me pretty CRACKED up.

[JiminyKracker]

@g3nov3s I know! And here's the video in case you're wondering what the rock star studs your parents partied to in the 1970s looked like when the bright stage lights hit their adorable tinted glasses.

[runewolf37]

@g3nov3s lol you got that from cracked didn't you? too true lol

[crankfire1]

He also wrote 'Timothy', about miners eating each other after a cave in. As sung by the 'Bouys'.

[crankfire1]

I thought this video was circa 1980, the aviator glasses, the corded mic, then I saw it was 1979.

[777Searchlight]

This indeed dose sound like porn music with that funky bass line . And why dose Ruphert look so much like my 10th grade advanced biology teacher ? And why would I be thinking these thoughts at the same time ?

[mirrorsky1]

"Oh it's you." haha :)

[chrisboy63]

25 people don't like piña colada

[livier7777]

Love this song!!

[Missnoopuka]

Smoooooothhhhh !!! Was on top of the chart for awhile in the 70's!!

[kikel101]

Like if your listening to this because of shrek or grow ups(;

[GliTterGoDesS72]

This dude is too smooth XD

[SSBrigadier7]

I love this song because it is in grownups :)

[dinifilan]

haha i always find this lyrics very creative :P

[svvadharma]

This reminds me of when I was young. My mom would play this song and we would sing it together. Will always hold a special place in my heart

[newburgh789]

am here cuz off grown ups and the sitter :)

[MisterDpat05]

who else is here because of a Matt Berry @porksmith tweet? btw, doesn't this guy look like a pedophile? all he's missing is a van with blacked out windows and a puppy on a leash...

[coldas]

0:40

[schepler2]

I was only 11 when this song came out, but I can tell you it was fucking huge back then. Which seems hard to believe 33 years later, but I guess that's true about everything.

[CoolFoolination]

That's just a classic, everybody, who knows this just because of a TV show: Fail

[Cesar11317]

@CoolFoolination I KNOW RIGHT

[TradAnderson1]

Love it

[CaramelCookie10]

He got swag

[treetooone]

TipsyBartender

[percolator100]

[labamba8448]

[Dperrone221]

[TeamXxXOveride]

[johnnyp146532]

Looking at the previous posts I didn't realize I was on Facebook. Anyway this is a great song.

[PierreArnaudBonan]

Maybe baby

[djp4311]

Haha lol roger

[djp4311]

Hh

[ilovethatboy24]

&luvspartan I know right searched for 30min after watching the episode to find this!

[164344]

is that Nina Hartley on back up?

[klwewf]

@164344 No

[johnnyp146532]

@164344 The backup singer is Chrissy Faith. She can also be seen on the "Him" video. If you look for her on YouTube she has some recent songs. Blue Perfume is pretty good. Do remember that it has been 32 years since the Escape video was made. I personally feel she has a great voice and since I am a bit older than her, she is pretty hot to me. Hope this answers your question.

[sjeffer113]

@164344 Get your head out of the gutter,dude!Nina Hartley?Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha!

[luvspartan]

Thank you Roger and the two gay guys

[jonnyasprin]

Ever since I learned what this song says(about 1989) it has been one of my favorites,I'm an 80s kind of guy anyway.

[TheButtKick]

I'm only here because Satan made me.

[Oshea321]

[breezandsonicwave123]

Like if your because of American dad

[wewantfred]

A tucked-in blazer with Adidas sneakers and Khaki slacks? DAMN!

[wewantfred]

This guy looks like a serial killer. HOW MANY BODIES do you think are buried underneath his house?

[wewantfred]

What a f---ing GEEK! It goes to show how much the music has changed: In '79 the songs were great but the artists looked like they taught middle school algebra, in 2012 the songs SUCK but the artists look cover girls and gay-ish pretty boys

[TheStrayKats]

21 people dont like pina coladas or making love at midnight

[blackcottons]

This dude looks like the dad from Full House.

[976shate]

Memories! Wow!

[claystaffordmusic]

Glad to see his jacket is tucked in!

[viched67]

Great song!

[MaraurderEmma]

[XAnonymousX21]

[Thegatoobeso]

I feel like hearing this song at the beach with a very cold beer (:

[ar3mLe3]

i've been searching this song for a damn long time! FINALLY! :)

[TheMacShake]

@ar3mLe3 by any chance did you watch the film Grown ups

[barucasalt]

@TheMacShake

[caporojiazul]

What a Surprise at the End who would of thought it would be his wife at the end who wrote the ad on the paper I love this song

[TheTman1310]

dude this song is geting in my head



[kja427]

You know, I've NEVER had a pina colada in my life; What do they taste like? This tune makes me want to try one. Oh, by the way, like the tune, Mr. Holmes.

[pistache7]

@kja427 White Rum, Dark Rum, Pineapple juice, Coconut Juice. Voila !

[thibaultgenevieve]

I really love this song <3 :D

[MrsJess562]

[rogsandytana]

i like this song

[FiddleGear]

Form is temporary but class is permanent! And here folks we have a class song!!

[JoeLepp]

there are 20 dislikes? who DOESN'T like this song?! PRICKS..

[SKOTP69]

This is GENIUS! The great thing about this golden age is that there were big mainstream FM hits like this happening, and the Post-Punk scenes were happening, there was great dance records being made, the first Rap records were being made... there was so much going on, and it was all different, and there was space between it all, and it was all great...there were DYNAMICS to it all!!! This is great to hear on a sultry, rainy, Friday night in Spring!

[tractorp2255]

he looks like a science teacher. cool song though

[kyozoku1]

The back up dancer is amazing..... I am lying.... She makes me laugh

[themanfromwem]

@kyozoku1 I think she is actually a singer, not a dancer ???

[RoughWhiteJokers]

man luve it WHO CUD HATE IT ?!!!!>333

[kris24ish]

@gumbyman540 the essence of the 70s think it had about 1 month in the 70s douchebag!!

[gumbyman540]

The essence of the 70's.

[ThePhilGarner]

I really enjoyed listening to this song. Maybe it will rekindle many marriages as I refer my friends to this video today and tomorrow.

[retrobadnewzzz1]

All your bad remarks show how lame you are and even more jealous. As dopy as this guy may be he wrote an awesome song that we all wish we could have written.

[varcabaruch]

una mas de las canciones mas #Sensaciosuaves de todos los tiempos!!!

[MegaEstrella1982]

Masturbation song!!!!

[JoeyPencils]

that masturbation solo was somewhat flaccid

[JoeyPencils]

1:57

what is this hand gesture?

[JoeyPencils]

this guy was the Mick Jagger of assholes

[TailSpinRocks]

@JoeyPencils Hilarious!

[kimmilil]

feelin kinda thirsty...lol

[BennOliverr]

Epic Cheese.

[ABruce1100]

Epic! Love this amazing song!

[ghostof84]

if you like"penis colosus" and you can stand the pain, if you're not into yoga and you don't mind a train.....somethin'somethin' somethin'

[ghostof84]

[rick7714]

good muito boa dançante balada!

[StevieBrightside]

17 people don't like Pina Coladas...

[templarsquad]

Would you look at these assholes?

[BennOliverr]

@templarsquad LOL

[misterge7]

I Love this Song, We always are willing to look elsewhere when our love one and dream girl is laying right next to us.

[N3RDProductionz]

Cool outfit bro!

[Sincopare]

How improbable a pop star was this guy?

[lastwolflord]

@Sincopare he never was. His carer as a singer was 74'-82'. He mostly is a writer. Song writer, play writer, t.v. writer. This song is just one of this weird times were a really great song gets made and it happens to be the be all end all of what that person really is known for. Always kind of sad when you think about it. But he is still active today so he must be doing ok for himself.

[MrKwDk]

Great song 2 hear while your high

[crazyclownn]

@MrKwDk i was thinking the same thing then i scrolled down and saw your comment

[doremodel]

Reminds me of Rick Ashley. Good music but lacking in the cool department.

[thegreatbungholio21]

Am I the only one who thinks of the scene in American Splendor when Harvey and Toby are sitting in his station wagon talking about "Revenge of the Nerds"?

[riceboi1983]

amazing song.

[chuckieg1000]

RUPERT IS GOD !

[FatherBenism]

My favourite thing about this is that 5 mins before he recorded this as am album track he changed the lyrics from 'if you like Humphrey Bogart' to the first cocktail he could think off ha and he never planned to sing it the way he did as it was meant to be more serious but the fact it was piña coladas made it more upbeat and he preferred it. Weird how a last minute decision can make you millions compared to probably only a few thousand

[USAisAntiWhite]

@FatherBenism shut the f u ck up !

[FatherBenism]

@USAisAntiWhite troll

[Pro3058]

@FatherBenism lol i dont wanna read this whole thing lol but it looks pretty intelligent so ill like it :D

[USAisAntiWhite]

@FatherBenism ...what ru his agent? Loser! Get back to reality. I'll have fries with my order, punk.

[FatherBenism]

@USAisAntiWhite your lucky i like feeding trolls. f*ck you, i have 12 likes proving that my comment has interested people. and if i was his agent why the f*ck would i being serving you fries? you comments lack thought and prove that your most likely a 12 year old who gets the sh!t kicked out of him at school and thinks abusing people on YouTube makes him a big boy. but it doesn't it makes you a troll. now i hope this comment is enough to satisfy your trolling needs

[USAisAntiWhite]

@FatherBenism ...did your parents help you type this? You proved that you are a loser because you had to resort to your approval by 12 commenters to justify your position! Get or buy a spine, boy.

[FatherBenism]

@USAisAntiWhite no my parents didnt help me type that, i dont know about your parents but mine dont use the sort of rude language that is required when speaking to someone like you. Are you a complete idiot do you know what spineless is? cos if i was spineless i would have taken your abuse but i didnt because people like you frustrate me. im a loser? im not the one stating arguements with people on youtube

[caliwaters88]

@FatherBenism that's a cool story and i have no reason not to believe u... but out of curiosity where did u read or hear that... and thank god he went w/pina colada... i think he may have thought what lots of people would have thought had he not made the switch: humphrey bogart just isn't a piece that belongs in this puzzle that really would have sounded like a forced lyric

[FatherBenism]

@caliwaters88 thanks. its nice when you take the time to post comments and people appreciate them. it is on wikipedia apparently he said it in an interview or something

[FatherBenism]

@Mrkingfrank101 I was think the same thing ha you'd be like 'you took out an add to hey on me you whore' lol but in fair she would piña colardas and getting caught in the rain haha

[omarfuller]

This songs makes my blood boil, im going to kill pete today the capitan of the football team, its time for my vengance!!!!!!!

[DANACABANA]

@LilithsLane hahha.. this song is great

[Mrkingfrank101]

Real life: "you were gonna cheat on me!" "you too." "Guess you have a point...no wait a sec!!!"

[dlamonds59]

i loved this song when it came out but live he aint hittin on shit! check out "fingers Lamonds" at least it's real and the island sounds song is hot!

[alainvosselman]

laughing my ass off, heard this tons of times as a kid, never seen the video, the whole thing is so tacky, talk about escapism...., like

[StanCatt]

The hand gestures and foot tapping really help the listener connect with this song.

[JoeyPencils]

@StanCatt I've heard more rhythm from a dripping faucet...

[StanCatt]

@JoeyPencils Yup. But it sure does enhance the song every time he points at the guitar player. Good thing he provides that cue to solo.

[123xconnieb]

Love the song and this video.

[tali3n]

the woman in this song overpowers his voice, not a good harmony at all!

[ssjChubbs]

@tali3n yur the only one, i swear...

[DANACABANA]

couldn't get much whiter than this...

[janeellensmith]

I heard this song in high school. I actually liked it. But, now, seeing it live...I feel nauseous...He must have been a high school choir director. Or maybe in a gospel quartet.

[jpdesilets1972]

@janeellensmith

Rupert Holmes was a big name songwriter in New York, and decide to write and perform something himself

[janeellensmith]

@jpdesilets1972 Yeah, dude, I knew that. I was referring to his stage presence.

[mogliboy69]

THIS DUDE IS MY NEW DEMI GOD..... CHECK OUT HIS "POWER SIGNALS" FOR THE GUITAR SOLO'S!!!!!

POWWWWER-FULLLLLLLLLLL

[ZeppelinFan70]

@mogliboy69 LMFAO!!!! Hillarious!!!!

[ashleyossimpants]

this song is about being a cheater, then geting caught, but her not giving a shit... wtf o.o

[dalecee1888]

@ashleyossimpants the woman in the song is also attempting to cheat.
