[ray93556]

[acethenuke114]

the one in the bed is slender man with a seizure

[seyloisqueer4life]

cocaines a helluva drug

[AddictionToGaming]

Paranormal Activity is shit compared to this music video...

[sindobrandnew]

This original mv was what I looked for!

[thedungeondelver]

slow it down by a few measures and film it all in black and white and hey presto, a Tool video! :D

[firringsquad14]

GTA VICE CITY!

[udderjuice]

This video is so out of sync with the music it ruins the awesome effect of the original music video and it is a complete waste of time to watch it here.

[theoneandonlylored]

@udderjuice the music isnt out of sync with the video at all. it may appear to be, but it isnt.

[mouseyhousewife]

I find this highly disturbing...  O_o

[sparky269]

And that's jazz!!

[neogrigio78]

grandissimo video

[pasy2006]

ROCK AND ROLL IS KING:)

[soldier716]

encyclopedias should redirect people here when they search "the 80s". this is the true definition in its entirety.

[Fuckyouwhaleful]

lol @ dubstep

[apollyon1976]

this video was my introduction to hip hop

[conboy35]

i remember seeing this among other great MTV videos of that era.. i also vaguely remember my stepfather watching Benny Hill.. wow.. where did that come from? I loved growing up in the 80's.. the music, clothes, movies, videos, Atari !! Simon, lol i can keep going on.. Hulk Hogan's Rockin wrestling!! omfg!! im gonna stop now!!

[conboy35]

this video gave me the creeps as a kid.. i remember watching this on MTV in the early 80's.. i was 7 yrs old.. my sis was in high school. the beat was great but the video itself is much on a child that age.

[MyMy10195]

i love this song and video my cousin said after he saw the video he was like wow lol two thumbs up

[roadworshiper]

Creme and Godley's finest video production



[wellalbee1]

i love the kraftwerk influence

[3500P5]

F F Fresh.

[pasy2006]

CLASSIC VIDEO:)

[leeleewolfisaduck]

This honestly creeps me out. 

[basorexia]

WOW

[dameblanche1900]

I'm crazy !!!!! I love this music !!! yeahhhhhhhh !!!

[roosevelthighschool]

The song is awesome even though I don't quite understand what Herbie was trying to get across to us. Tight nonetheless.

[drums4694]

@roosevelthighschool I was just watching an interview with him actually and he was talking about how he had nothing to do with this. He was even a little weirded out by it and didn't know if it was any good. Everyone kinda congragulated ihm on it but he wasn't sure why

[koppibopp]

So many drugs were consumed to film this video. "Man, you don't get it, LEGS, just LEGS (wearing HOT PANTS), walking around the room and some BIRD thing at the window. It's a reflection on modern society as we know it!"

[PRINCESSROCKYT]

@koppibopp I thank you, Kopp. I was originally trying mull thru my grief looking thru old Whitney Houston's vids and said what the hell, lemme click on some related vids. Then i read your comment!! I almost fell out the chair laughin!! CTFU!!!!! Thank you. My weekend has been dampered by the WH news but YOU made me forget that for about ten minutes!!! <3 ya for that!! LMAO!!

[1BlubeTube]

When ever this video came on in the 80s, at the beginning, I always would think, what is this, it sounds good. Then the video would play on and then I would think, oh its that video. But the music sounds very good, even now. It was kind of ahead of its time.

[danewson]

@1BlubeTube It was very ahead of its time. Thats why it was overlooked back tben.

[z3dra]

I was there in the clubs when this video came out :-)

[roosevelthighschool]

I watch this and think to myself "Lord how much airplay did this get on MTV?" I can see Reagan watching this and laughing his ass off.

[roosevelthighschool]

This song introduced us to scratching records. You know that thing that took off in the 90's.

[1BlubeTube]

@roosevelthighschool It took off in the 80s, and the copy cats did the same thing in the 90s.

[roosevelthighschool]

You'll note that Herbie himself is only on the TV in the video. Man those were the days.

[fordxbgtfalcon]

looks like the guy in the bed is masturbating...

[3xbroke]

was and still the most ULTIMATE song to Breakdace too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JamieAiken919]

Why did I watch this before going to bed.

Now I'm going to have nightmares about masturbating robots.

[BikerBonno]

The one in bed is me when I'm alone with my hand and some dvd's

[72whitebug]

"John Hancock." It's HERBIE Hancock. Duh!

[str8bugn]

I wish this was my house. =)

[semihuman]

This video still scares the crap out of me.

[Whitese7en]

Thumbs up if you're getting sick & tired of Mitt Romney ads popping up.

[marinav0312]

My teacherr told me to watch this...... Wtf?! lmao. weirdd. XD

[PhonyPony2000]

One of my all-time favorites...saw it when it's debut on "Saturday Night Videos"...

[Logifanogi]

What is this I don't even

[JapaneseJoe101]

Fuckin' awesome.

I'd like to hear a dubstep version of this.

[gadgetmanjay]

[gadgetmanjay]

[shortyblackwellll]

[voidxhell]

[mrmrdean1]

[mrmrdean1]

so so far ahead of its time. its was like nothing you,d ever heard before when this came about.it could have been by flash gordon as far as anyone was concerned,it was and still is a groovy hard house track.

[elchango1974]

Aflac Bird ! :-D

[locomiester]

[estafuego8807]

[TheDragoonGuy]

[000BatFuck000]

[mark197ify]

I do really loved this video!!!

[havenking1254]

This only shows me that the 80s were fucking terrifying.

[Jackoroth]

Watching this was not good for my mental health.

[bevenus]

I wish that i had a Time Travel Machine...if i did i would go back for awhile EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE!!! the 80's were the best of times!!!

[EroSennin6669]

...mommy, what's the man in the bed doing?

[DancingSpiderman]

The ONLY thing that would make this video scarier for little children is, if there were a room full of heads running around, with their chickens cut off

[rawrmonster1000]

i listen to this in my math class everyday........

[gmcg923]

@rawrmonster1000 This is the perfect jam for doing differential equations or integrations in spherical coordinates.

[MrMikej413]

I remember this video and the song. For whatever reason the song was a favorite among break dancers.

[AtomicTurkey16]

Herbie Hancock? Win. This video? It's like the robots from Terminator discovered fusion and the like. And I don't know how I feel about that.

[spacetimecontinuum]

"Hot Tracks", Friday night, wut???????????!!!

[bevenus]

@spacetimecontinuum in Atlanta, it was "NIGHT TRACKS"...miss those days!

[spacetimecontinuum]

@bevenus yeah it was "Hot Tracks" in NYC...yep...those were the days, sigh :)

[89Timex]

28 years later, and it still freaks me out. Good Times

[flatleythebard]

Takes me back, this. Cutting edge shit at the time. Take me back there now! Beachcombers in Hackney. The Beehive on the Roman Road. Tipples, Septembers, Cart and Horses, Flappers. Lager in a fishbowl. Blazers and Burberry. Coming home at sun up. The smell of wet fish on your fingers. Cos I just ate some cockles! Jeez, you people...

[DerekScottBland]

The sound is off by what... 10-15 seconds at least? Horrible, especially for a video like this where the movements are in time with the song. While uploading is appreciated, if you can't be bothered to do a good upload then don't bother at all.

[dgolmsted]

the music isn't in sync w/ the video on this post.. therefore it's not the official music video.

[doregurl91]

ive had nitemares for a week straight

[vtsingeractor]

It's called the "Uncanny Valley", folks. Google it. Total freak-out.

[southflvitilla]

this video used to scare the shit out of me haha <3

[chienferoce]

Herbie Hancock 's music combined with the art of Jim Whiting was the thrill. I visit after the release of the video an exhibition of Whiting and I was very impressed of the figures. Rock it!

[learntoswimca]

this video has been scaring me for almost 30 years.. when did i get old.

[Ka80SS]

I miss the old MTV. Grab some popcorn, sit on the floor with a blanket in front of the TV for hours!

[RADIOLPE]

una de las canciones que hicieron que me preguntara ¿reallyyyy?

[googleboyny]

When this video first came out it freaked out my dad. 

[deanabraxas69]

The Artist who made the kinetic sculptures is Jim Whiting

[jazzygc]

What is stunning is that this song and video are almost 30 years old. Gives it an interesting perspective, doesn't it?

[sewershits]

I can jam to that>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[VideoGameSauce]

I remember when I was a kid, this video used to freak me out.

[cheeznip734]

@VideoGameSauce This still freaks me out...

[44t56]

@VideoGameSauce It still does

[michaeldok]

@VideoGameSauce Me too :o)

[AXABACH]

[robocop12341000]

[KutWrite]

I appreciate your posting, but is the sound synchronized properly?

[wyLdchyLd5p6d]

Suddenly my body starts moving

[vettper]

Thanks for post the original video not these made up ones!

[MrKaiju22]

I love this video! I haven't seen it in years and spent hours just looking for it! Thank you so much! I needed that laugh. You rock!
