[superduperkg]

sock puppet michael jackson

[jackkerouak]

You're all welcome to Rio. De Janeiro.

[xXxEmOgIrLx]

love it !

[bellahowly]

whosampled ;)

[medicoonline]

Ok, you won. But Brazil is not only Rio. Have you ever heard about Northeastern beaches?

[THEDGU]

we know a guy who sings this song in his head whenever he sees his... bitch?

[LadyTwentySeven]

Stop writing bullshit about my country!

[CEIVE4EVER]

I think Chris Martin really love this song xDDDD

[oink1969]

so fucken funny! love it!

[MattTheSaiyan]

The song is much better than Rio itself. Music video is great too, very simple, but that's not a bad thing in this case.

[sunshinekid34]

MMDC2011........ You're so optimistic. LOL! Stay away from Rio

[turfterror]

cop fart is how I got here..lol

[turfterror]

type fart cop...

[Fieldsfangirl28]

the album this little ditty came from was the 1976 /77 release on A&M called "Taught By Experts"

[lovedisshitrazzer]

@MMDC2001 I doubt that, otherwise Brazil wouldn't be holding the 2016 olympics...

...and tourist love it.

[gatogordo1970]

May God Bless Him a great performer

[vigo894]

As soon as I heard that Rio was chosen over Chicago, I started to sing this song. Yeah, suck it Oprah.

[xEngland4Lifex]

how the hell did i get to this gay ass video.

[Mayortwilleger]

@xEngland4Lifex Is this question rhetorical for the purpose of highlighting your alleged coolness?

[MattTheSaiyan]

Catchy song, I love it!

[matomica]

cé épouvantable mais ....?????

[FLArenegade]

To MMDC2001, sorry you had bad experiences, but I have lived in Ipanema for 4 years, and i have had nothing but wonderful experiences (knock on wood), getting to know the cariocas, the culture, the praia, etc.

[iceaxe56]

does that song make any sense?

[SirReal1958]

I never realized how much Peter Allen and Bill O'Reilly look alike !

[MMDC2001]

When my baby smiles at me I go to Rio de Janeiro, and then I got attacked by a "pivete", and then I got a lost bullet in my head coming from an Ak-47 gun of a drug smuggler in one of the hundreds "favelas" of Rio. And then I go to the beach but the sea is polluted with shit, and then it starts raining or pouring and the streets are all flooded and the traffic stops for hours, and then the energy goes down, and every thief, and crook and bandit comes out yelling "perdeu!".

[PupuTheClown]

,,they're all coming to Los Angeles !

[lovedisshitrazzer]

@MMDC2001 UM I DON'T THINK ANY COUNTRY IS PERFECT...

[MMDC2001]

@lovedisshitrazzer,

But Brazil pushes imperfection to its limit.

[gasshuffer]

i wish there were 2 peter allens and they were my mom and dad.

[KatradioNY]

Brasil was economically a third world country for decades and now..look at what is possible! A complete turnaround and repair! WE can learn from Brasil. We've hosted plenty in the USA and our time will come again. Brasil is completely dedicated financially and spiritually to host The Olympics for the very first time! As a world economic leader with a culture and people that thrive on happiness and hope..I congratulate them! We're Going To Rio! Hats off! Obrigato!

[Archonis]

I want to dedicate this tune to Barry-n-Michelle...and homegirl Oprah!!

EPIC FAIL!!

[klinkratface]

They have to use this song for the 2016 Olympics. Awesome!

[dunha11]

NOW EVERYBODY'S GO TO RIO DE JANEIRO... SEE YOU IN RIO2016 !

and... what a song. peter allen rox³

[DwayneMuziq]

his gay

[nzoz1977]

was...

[nzoz1977]

Grow a fucking brain you stupid moron.

[nzoz1977]

Take your own advice.

[lilcreampunk777]

Trolling is overrated.

Take some real balls and try trolling in real life kid.

You'll get plain ol' socked in the face.

[nzoz1977]

it's just a person with a chip on its shoulder. i read through its comments and none are very flattering. i guess its parents failed in it someway or perhaps they are suffering the disappointment.

[nzoz1977]

... somebody loves the attention.

[flowertower87]

Lulz, I wouldn't love it if you didn't give it to me.

Sorry, I'm on vacation so I'm not on much.

[nzoz1977]

Oh yes. I did miss you. I missed blocking you.

Here we go now. Problem solved.

[lilcreampunk777]

This is my 9000th times watching this.

(Nope I haven't watched it over 9000 times yet so calm down)

[charliesplinter]

lip synching

[tbarthelow]

probably not, its just a video and audio out of sync I believe.

[PrivateThomas01]

is he fucking gay or something?

[nzoz1977]

why do you ask?

does he excite you or something?

[lilcreampunk777]

LMAO

[Wellveryinteresting]

I know I'm not the original poster, above.

But no, he doesn't excite me but boy is he flaming about it!

Good singing though. And he obviously is or was very much the entertainer. (Reminds me a bit of a cross between Elton John & Barry Manilow -- excuse me, an American perspective).

[tbarthelow]

duh what was the first clue?  Look it up on wikipedia

[Watchyou2008]

wonderful clip,, ! love this music also!!

[artvandalay355]

lmao very sxc song indeed ma hommie

[2DD]

Ouch! That's one nut cracking high leg crossover near the end. :s

[dynasue77]

Very flamboyant samba flavoured song about the famous Brazilian city.

[lserralles]

Great memories, cool song!!!

[AchillesShield]

This song isn't too bad - for the 70s (which isn't necessarily saying much!). But this music video is sooooo camp! I couldn't stop laughing the first time I saw this - in fact, I still can't!

[bellimbopinni]

Well, the first 20 times the song sounded ok but come Christmas the carols sounded better....need I say more.

[bellimbopinni]

Back in the late 70's, channel 9/8 would play this clip every night at around 5.00 to 6.00 pm, every fucking night. Possibly because Tenterfield, which was Peter's hometown, was in the TV stations viewing area. Every night they would play this clip, every fucking night, every fu...

[heliotherapy]

I feel your pain bellimbopinni... I only made it to 1.07 & that will do me for another 10 years.

[mab077]

wonderful. God love you Peter..

[alexmetista]

E uma vergonha que uma cidade tao conhecida como o Rio de Janeiro tenha crescido tao desordenadamente sem o menor controle. Vivendo no exterior pude comparar como o a infraestrutura e muito melhor, no Brasil os politicos so se preocupam em roubar o dinheiro dos impostos. Ninguem quer ir pro Rio mais, so tem favela, crime, assassinatos em plena luz do dia, drogas. E triste...

[oink1969]

who the buck was he married to?? i forgot

[bckesler]

Liza Minelli

[RetroMusicCovers]

Cool song! Way better than that "emo" crap that pollutes the top 40 today.

[lllswankk]

isso aii

rio !!

[ExabOO]

Rip Peter

[MicaelaDeLaOpera]

Cada vez que escucho esta canción, me recuerda a gratos momentos de mi infancia, también me sube el ánimo y me da ganas de bailar y de ir a Río!!!!

[lilyvonschtuppp]

I love this song!

Thank you so much!

[SeeSeeRider77]

Great song, great entertainer; class act.

[jockboy24]

yeah, you're right about that. popular music today is the worst thing ever.

[jockboy24]

this could be the worst song ever written by anyone ever.

[nzoz1977]

Nah, check out the shit on the charts today...

[deadwoodmountain]

oh come on.......you know you want join him when he does that maraca dance, or when he unbuttons his shirt.

[CofCGuy]

In our world of tumult and chaos it is incumbent on all of us to ask, "What can I do?" Well, I can watch watch Peter Allen singing "Rio." That won't change the world, but dang if that little fella can't dance.

[compienz]

Pill Collins' long lost twin?

[TomRaymondUK]

HA HA HA! Except he's not as obnoxious as Collins...

[compienz]

and can sing

[2DD]

...or Alf's from 'Home and Away'?
