[posttronics]

George Kranz plays all the roles in this video!

[posttronics]

May I also add that George Kranz is an actor too and starred in many films (mostly German), but check out his 1987 english film "Magic Sticks"!!

[whereisthediscoteque]

I played the role of "The Professor" - the man in a tweedish suit and glasses.

Pretty much my claim to fame in life, I'm old now...

[carmic191]

omg thank you for posting this ....brings me back to the to the good old days!!

[discofabe]

this song is fierce. dance music at its best. maybe even early house music. in the mid 90's this version used to played at STUDIO ONE in HOLLYWOOD,L.A. by DJ LEE. the dance floor would blow up! still sounds good! mmmm

[JANXDPDX]

puts the turdful MTV of today to SHAAAAAME!

[Lindamorena]

he is such a musician.

[posttronics]

I totally agree that George Kranz is a great musician too. George is still making music, and all his albums are now on iTunes, Amazon etc. If you want to hear more, check his band's (called 3 plus 1) Myspace page out at: (World Wide Web) myspace (dot com) /dreipluseins

[Chrisnixpunkt]

Roots

[LEGIONARIO1970]

1983? these where the golden years of MTV, you could see videos of good music all day and night without getting bored. I was lucky to be a teenager in those days!!!

[WierdDreamer]

I love the way he is sooooo into his drumming!!

[MrWiiPS360]

This is classic house music.

[nicholasbrunello]

That guy in the glasses is beyond funky.

[2hypecesar]

This song is bad assss, it became the number #1 Hit in the late 80's in Chicago's Old School hits. wbmx 102.7 fm  i like Alisha All Night Passion and check out the video for Laid Back-White Horse

[lululemongrl]

whats with his teeth? is he okay?

[pjayoner]

good stuff that was when mtv acully played music videos

[lululemongrl]

omg i know!

[hctibnacinimod]

hahahah this dude is having soo much fun lols

i <3 this kid

[CEDELL29]

He does look like he's having a ball. Pretty athletic for jumping over those drums.

[CHEVAAN29]

As much as I watched "MTV" back then, I never knew there was a video for this.

[Othelia2Cute]

MY FAV 4EVERRR! .. Breakin' !! (Fav m0vie)

Classic! Lo0o0ove ittt.

[gloco620]

This is the shit......

[LatinoNino123]

Ying Yang Twins - Shake :oD

[Maxell501]

Warning fans!! Youtube or companies are taking down these videos, which in my opinion is down right stupid as people won't know who the artist is.

However, great George Kranz video!

[kautokeine]

One of the most loved percussion in my memory!

[Flygirlbecks88]

My mum had this on a record thingy and used to play it when I was about 5 and I used to cry every time it was on. I found it scary at the time! Good song though!! So random!

[b3k4h]

i remember seeing this video

[mostwantedm3]

best breakin song ever

[CEDELL29]

I love this song. Never saw the video before. Didn't know a white guy came up w/this song. Never judge a book by it's cover.  One of the top club songs IMO. Just makes you want to get up and and dance. Hold on. Let me pause--Had to do the wave for a moment.

[jhyxwq123456]

LMAOOOO!!!! hahaha this is awesomeeee

[XxdontxXxleavexX]

Pitbull didnt cop ths song, he just used the beat and people do that all the time. Plus his sounds better....I dont know why but i kinda like ths one 2...surprisingly

[Shokuyume]

AAHHH!! I remember this song!

[hotsaucedahustla]

I remember watching this as a kid on MTV! Man, I don't think this dude realized that this song would end up being the ultimate dance song! A str8 classic from beginning to end. Funny, that this is the best breakging song, but none of these yahoos in this vid are dancing at all! LOL!

[whereisthediscoteque]

Thumbs up for calling someone a 'yahoo'

[Altern59]

Damn, I hated the 80's! I was lucky enough to have never seen this video before now.

[darladanice]

NICE!! I hate that SO MANY people today think beats and songs like this one are new (example: the song "Pitbull" just remade a couple of years ago of THIS SONG). This was WAY before their time!!! New "singers" of today have no idea where the songs came from that they are singing. Most of them are re-makes from the 80s!!!

[dsportnissan]

break dancin back in the day!!! good times

[crueda123]

dont forget the killer synth!

[lorenzero]

叮詚詚導抖抖叮詚詚導抖

[Mustykidd]

i should have been alive when this song was around!! not when people make songs about girls kissing girls.. THIS IS MUSIC!!!

[whereisthediscoteque]

you are either very awesome, very gay, or both.

go you.

[DCzRyder]

lol both probably

[FredericaBimble]

I remember going to the club back when this first came out and dancing so hard with sweat rolling down my face and the make-up all ran....Music seemed to be on fire then and I'm glad we seem to be in a new wave of music nowadays that is bringing back some of the spirit...These things go in cycles. We have Lady Ga Ga, Hot Chip, MADCON, LCD Soundsystem and others to bring some magic back...It ain't just about "how pretty you are"...Amen.

[kautokeine]

Great percussion! What about percussion today?!

[lorenzero]

classic show.

Very incredible facial expression

[Tambako]

Awesome track, especially when one knows it's been released in 1983!

[importednerd]

1:41 - best part

[YeaWhiplash]

been looking for this song since 1995.Thanks for the POST.I LMFAO every time i hear this.

[eaglemount]

Love how Krantz tags the cymbal while he's off his feet at 1:10

[livendie4jaiali]

this song was and still is da shizzzzzzznit....death to all haterz

[TREBLINKA007]

Kougra55, Midnight is just a flamer. He or she comes here to annoy people and it shows by the crude profile he/she has. I mean who the hell is 71 yrs old, unless he or she is actually some Emo idiot barely in teens?

Ive dealt with idiots like them before so dont respond. On another note yes youre right, 80's music has good beats so much so that many have been sampled by rap artists.

[kougra55]

midnight girl, whatever, under me, is really ticking me off, i was born like in the 90's, and into this century music, and i love the 80's its the best. the beats of the 80's rock, everything, the outfits...michael jackson. prince. But its your opinion, im not being pissed off at you 'cos of your thought, but still. [:

[midnightgir1]

EIGHTIES CRAP

How can people like this rubbish? the eighties were so so so bad! this is the perfect example of talentless crap!

[DerVampyrEngel]

fuck off midnight girl I like a lot alternative and 80's bands and this is cool so if you don't like it you know were to go

[ColonelGurgle]

I reeeeeally reeeeeeally wanna see him play live all his old material and new. He is one amazingly talented and original musician. Wish he'd go to UK!

[Doctamike54]

i cant believe MTV was playin house music back then, wish they would play house music now

[melloprod]

I had a pair of them glasses back n da day!

[katrina0213]

Made no sense but I loved it and still do!

[Zhqrxt]

Very cool clown

[Blauqkween]

Much Respect to him

[emb170fa]

Wow a blast from the past --- Back in the day it was played heavly in a bunch of lesbian bars  Love this song

[marcojav1971]

[TalibKweli321]

there's samples of this in Shake by pitbull

[d90mq2]

Rock it! This track kills.

[jlcot]

Soul has nothing to do with color. Soul is in everyone but not everyone is in touch with it.

I know scores of white people with for soul than some black people I know.

One.

[krissy2896]

i know i agree but i love this song my dad played it last night

[bkfastburrito]

electro scat singing. so rad.

[ChrisSSocal]

Say what you want about Hitler, but the man made some good music.

[praznuski]

[153neerg]

Not only are they white but they're German. I love German electronic music

[coyote1620]

[reeneegerman]

great

[valentinesday01]

love it! taking my back to the days - old skool!

[jettajazz]

How cool is this track man. I've been looking for the video for the longest and I agree with the rest, I thought these guys were black, to my surprise they're white! Any ways, this song was played in mid 80's in Mexico City b4 the Electric Boogaloo movie was out. So when the movie finally arrived we all knew it and sang it all the way, even in the subway with all my buddies. Thanks for sharing it with all of us. PS. Up to day I still play this song at home or in my garage when washing the cars.

[chiakichanhanabi]

this song is fucking amazing.

for the longest, i thought afrika bambaataa made it for some reason.

XD

(cuz im a re-re)

nevertheless, this song is kickarseeeee!!!

[blueblade455]

I thought exactly the same thing that it was afrika bambaataa up until today! Boy was I wrong!

[jerryousity]

i like this i watched the breakin 2 electric booaloo movie and this song rocked

[ladycplum]

This reminds me of Art of Noise, and Yello. FanTAS-TIC

[macksun]

1st...WOW!!!!! 2nd.. I never knew there were white.  3rd. wow..theres a vid for this? lol

[miller4th502nd]

There is a nice story about that fact that he is white.

As the song came out and find the way to the states, the white stations dosn't play the song, cause they thought he is black, and the black station played it couse they thought he is black. *lol*

[miller4th502nd]

[pantha266]

Sound kinda like when Madonna came out with her first single"Holiday". The record company released it without her face on the cover because her was getting alot of spins on urban radio and the DJs thought she was black.

[native1122]

this is the best song to hip-roll and drop yo hips to

[EManthePB]

it sounds like hes saying pretty papa

[Marcell2aG]

DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM BASSHH!!

Awesome song with awesome strange lyrics.

[theconcepcions]

after i saw the video, i finally realized his inspiration for the "odd" lyrics - his drumming. i guess you need to have been a drummer to know that. this does bring back memories...ahhhh, the 80s club scene, how i miss you!

[deanaj1]

Breakin' 2 the Electric Boogaloo.....Brings back memories.............Thanx.

[kroshae]

Also ginuwines none of ur friends business video.

[finessemahogany]

I never there was a video either.

[IronChefSpam]

I had no idea there was an actual video for this. I love it.

Man, I miss my teen years and the freakin 80s.

Thanks for posting this.

[noobie939]

at 30 secs the din da da begins , but type now in youtube : shake pitbull , it is the same!! they copied it!!

[pheonixace99]

it's called sampling, they had permission to use it in their song.

[Supersaiiyin]

OMG some fuckin memories!!!!!!!!

<3 <3 <3

[PrettyToez07]

This is fire!!

[lucymisti]

This song is f'in great, I remember it from Breakin' 2

[Annie10k]

[friskeykitty]

[mojon101]

This song is amazing for years I've been trying to find the name of it.

[ub40freak]

You should see terry crews do the robot to this song! Itz awesome

[bagels5131]

[atlantafilly]

[KapoStatus718]

I love this song!

[tekhause]

I truly hope George Krantz realizes just how great this song is and how much people appreciate it. Awesome.

[alienpowergt]

damnit pit bull

[alcoor79]

wonderfull!!!

[rayva1]

Get outta here! This hit was created by a white dude?! LOL!

[rayva1]

What a great way to take drumming and vocal lessons at the same time.

[DiaAkin]

As a black raised in the "hood", it wasn't until I got a little older that I realized a lot of the old school classics we embraced (this song, Moments in Love by Art of Noise, etc) were created by whites. Guess they have more style than we gave them credit for! lol. Gotta respect their contribution to the movement!

[chuckdeezee]

I think that music in the 80s had a more universal appeal. I think Blacks and whites listened to alot of the same music back then compared to now. some of the 80s music wasn't considered "white music" by blacks. it was just music that was good.

[DiaAkin]

I agree. It WAS just "good music" then. We really didn't care who did it. I remember when Bon Jovi's "Dead or Alive" came out. Nobody where I lived was big on rock music. But once we saw it on MTV, you couldn't resist it. We'd have a block party or a barbecue and somebody would slip that on right after some Run DMC and we'd go CRAZY when that intro came on! lol. Music back then just made you feel good! It was magical and you couldn't deny it.

[lucymisti]

i agree, too, well written, that mo-town, Cosby-show, universal 80's "feel", I don't know how to describe it..I miss my childhood, things were so much simpler back then..but our haircuts were awful, lol

[tssexychanel]

Classic Chicago House

[Socimer]

LOL - Yeah clubs played this song a lot. But it's not from Chicago - George Kranz is German. Just like Kraftwerk.

[Frenchie1818]

Just awesome......

[HeCTiCBk29]

i could break dance 2 this shit all night

[kunsura]

always was a bad ass cut!

[MsSerious13]

LOVE IT. Always have...always will!

[DiaAkin]

Maaaan, I own the movies Breakin I & II and I swear every time I watch em and this song comes out, I move the coffee table out the way and I get my break on in the living room! Lol. I'm 29, so I remember this being the theme of EVERY breakdance party back in the early 80's! This song hits me the same as it did way back then!

[SonjaElen]

Geordie LaForge!!

[Abdurazz]

I remember me and my boys running through the halls at Mt. Carmel High School in Chicago...freshman year 1983 mouthing this tune...LONG LIVE CHICAGO HOUSE MUSIC - JACK UR BODY, BABY!

[HOUSE74]

chi-town house music for life baby!!!...prop house!!!!

[gamezngadgetz]

wikcked song and i first knew about this by the 360 `jump in` advert.

[bertel22]

I Like this kind of original things.

Its Great.One of my alltime favorites!!

[OneMixDJ]

By the way, that's for jes102. :)

[jes102]

By the way, that's for OneMixDJ:) xx

[MRDXKLIQ101]

IS THERE A LONGER VERSION OF THIS

[cagerskov]

Yes there is. Search on "Din daa daa" here at YouTube - the length is above 6 minutes.

[tinoketkim]

First, noone realized this was a white man singing for a long time. When people ask what is he singing, or why doesnt he make sense, the answer is simple. When real singers warm up, they dont sing words,they just mimic the music to warm up their vocal chords, ex. lah di dah. This song is just George Kranz having fun mimicking the track using din daa daa and some rolling r's with enthusiasm. A group that does this is the Swingle Sisters. They "sing" songs but not really,they just make sounds.

[ittaatti]

You should hear his other stuff, it is just so mad he is a genius. I don't think that he makes those nioses to warm up, he is just drum obsessed. He collects them and writes songs about being in love with them.

[dumaslovemusic]

The famous strange song of that German singer George Kranz. A big hit of 1984 of the dance floor in Canada...still it's improvisation.

[junebugjelly]

when this song came out alot of people thought it was stupid and had no meaning, but US breakers loved, great song to pop lock too!!
