Pointer Sisters - Automatic

[kuiintin]

omg ! memories :( vice city is the best !

[DerMortos76]

Is that a man in a dress?

[K3N0J1N]

I don't care if I were born in 86,the 80's was awesome as far as music is concern.

[xfilesmanson]

Is this song in any movie?

[xfilesmanson]

i remember the ymca construction guys dancing in the malibu club in vice city to this song LOL

[Clocks101fate]

tumbs it if u herd this in gta vicecity and fell in love with it....

[Gertrudia09]

Daughters of 1984!

[lenelljeter2]

"Automatic" got to # 2 on the UK pop chart.

In the early/mid 80s a lot of funk-ish music crossed from the R&B chart to the US and/or UK pop chart. AND vice-versa.

David Bowie's "Let's Dance" got to # 14 on the US R&B chart in 1983.

Melba Moore's "Love's Comin At Ya" reached #15 on the UK pop chart.

A few more examples, the US R&B Chart: "Shock the Monkey", "Miss Me Blind" "Out of Touch."

[lenelljeter2]

You may find that it is worth the time to take a look and listen at the song lists that

have been posted to Itunes Ping that meld together rhythmically & stylistically

compatible early/mid 80s R&B/funk songs and early/mid 80s synth pop/new wave

songs. Lots of music that was either forgotten or not ever learned

of but was very enjoyable or would be very enjoyable if it was rediscovered or

discovered for the 1st time by people that enjoy this type of music. People like you?

[lenelljeter2]

have researched these music categories for the past 9 years

and I have rediscovered tunes I had forgotten about or I discovered

new tunes that totally deserved the time it took to discover them.

In Itunes Store or Itunes Ping if you use the search terms "electrofunk" (as a single word) or "80s funk" the search result shall produce several lists that have "electrofunk" or "80s funk"

in the playlist name in the "Playlist" category at the low left corner of the search result.

[lenelljeter2]

Click on the "more" link and once you have opened the next page that has

all of the Playlist search results for "electrofunk" or "80s funk",

you'll quickly find a bunch of lists that use the title "Ebony & Ivory Electrofunk".

[lenelljeter2]

These lists have songs that (1) you may have heard before and enjoyed but forgotten or (2) songs that you may enjoy now but you have not heard before. These lists also include album cuts that were not released as singles and songs from lesser known yet solid groups/soloists such as Fatback, Kashif, Laid Back, D Train, Boys Don't Cry, and Dynasty.

[MrHiglesworth]

If I wasn't drunk this would still be cool

[84jessaud]

thuis song was number one when i was born haha



[craig2k111]

Malibu Club lol:)

[Thunderbird006]

@karu.. I thought so too.

[chobankovic]

wow... this song makes me want to steal a car and crush a few pedestrians like in the good old vice city days!!! (oh...lookie!! it's a hooker - lets stab her to death)

[Karudzik]

I though it was sang by men!

[1alisse]

why does the guy @ 2:46 look like a killer? :-S

[johnied8509]

if this song does not put a smile on your face or make u want to dance then u have no soul.

[gsxowns]

Best memories of this were in vice city

[MrWheelfire]

How and when did the one in the purple dress die?

[bryno92]

@MrWheelfire Using this search engine called google, I found that the lady in the purple dress died of cancer is 2006

[steelryder1]

@bryno92 wasnt she born a male

[bryno92]

@steelryder1 What??? Ummm no.

[MrWheelfire]

How and when did the one in the purple dress die?

[cheesetwistie]

One of the greatest pop songs of all time :)

[lovethatpug]

my fav of theirs

[paaqpaaqpaaq]

i hope it will one day be the same as the 80's again.

[goldbullet50]

@paaqpaaqpaaq It wont :( There are things now which won't change unless EVERYONE thinks they should. Like internet. 80's or 90's wouldn't be if every twinky is connected to internet and your always "in the middle of civilized world". Also most kids are so dependent about these modern things they couldn't be "changed" to wan't to go 80's. Thank god theres still few, including me, who think they are in wrong decade. Also those older who also think/remember 80's should do something about it.

[EMMHQ]

I want to go back in time

[Imadeyourun]

19 people suck. :-/

[Sn0t123]

@Imadeyourun No my friend 19 are the anti christ and obhiously have no taste in AMAZING music

[Imadeyourun]

The 80's was by far the best era for music! If you didn't grow up in the 80s, I'm sorry to say that you missed out. :(

[AndrewBell]

1:59 -haha the guy in leather trousers!

[TheCaliCoco]

@AndrewBell hahahahaha!

[austech360]

18 people are not automatic.

[HanskiL67]

My absolute favourite among the many songs of Pointer Sisters :)



[kimomorse]

The 80's was and always will be the time for music and expression.

[AdioBlackMentality]

[Chocoboranger]

My god i always though the lead singer was a guy, i am ashamed.

[qrwa123]

[iuk07]

I had forgotten about this song from GTA-VC. I was waiting in line for the pharmacist at Rite Aid and this song was playing on the PA system. Went home and searched for it on YouTube and listened away!

[RedLauLau]

Now that is one set of legs.

[UhHuhHer85]

God, Anita(the one in the red) was such a babe!

[sexinessoverreated]

[UhHuhHer85]

@sexinessoverreated June, the one with the long, long legs and the short ass purple dress.

[Renan14799]

[BoyWhoLikesTV]

[VenusGospeI]

[MrTunedUp]

I once murdered every single patron in a club while jamming to this

[SeberHusky]

I sing this when I drive my car. LOL

"No way to control it...it's totally au-to-mat-ic"

[Sn0t123]

Why is it only showing the views i made today !!!!

[joesef777]

Must be great to be young!! where "back in the day" is GTA and hearing this.

My flashback is hearing this on the radio in the 80's!!

although.. I did love hearing this in GTA, I loved going into the club and seeing the "guys" on stage dancing to this.. I would chuck a granade on the dance floor and watch all the body parts fly... then contunie dancing around until the bouncers came and killed me.

[MIGUELSAGITTA]

When this song sounded, Robert Gallo confirmed the discovery of the AIDS virus (although it had been first discovered in 1983 by Luc Montagner).

[ViewerRitt]

Clearly T-Boz was inspired here :)

[chobankovic]

OMG!!!!! the memories!!

i wish i was a kid playing Vice City again!

Thumbs up!!!

[Sn0t123]

@chobankovic I miss playing vice city dude it was the best gta by far

[Kaljaukko]

Anyone want to go to the Malibu?

[LoG682]

glorioso el tema gracias gta vice city por hacerlo saber!!

[souljha2001]

I forgot all about this song until I heard it on the radio today. For some reason I thought it was the Pointer Sister featuring Stevie Wonder.

The 80's were corny but fun! I miss it!

[Dark0Temptation]

This is awesome! Bring back the 80's!!!!!!

[TheDoctorMcNugget]

I'm a girl and her voice is perfect and somewhat sexy.

[ThatLoud]

When I was a kid, in my mind, Eddie Murphy sang this. I don't know why.

[MegaHarris470]

I Miss Playing Gta !!!!

No man singing that, peeps. All woman and no manipulation. She also did the low voice for Aretha Franklin's Who's Zoomin' Who?

[TRUCKER2ish]

[MastahMich]

Their voices are editted, they are just 3 sisters.

[magictonez]

[Sn0t123]

This is brilliant i love the classics they are way better. music is after gettin well a bit boring all of them are the same ( in some cases not ) this is totally unique and is brilliantly sung :)

[MrScarface310798]

[rosscofox]

A real classic...briliant.

[alapal123]

[lolotex1]

[Dovelike]

This would go close to being their best song.

[joquijada]

[itaintover93]

I love driving to this song in GTA. XD

[SPNGleekWarrior]

[musiqizmiilife]

[lukiisl99]

@MRsuperSexyNumberOne LOL 2:51 is hilarious!

[kbyer]

[SubSlaveCD]

I love The Pointer Sisters! This song was out in March-May 1984...I was a sophomore in high school...brings back good memories!!!

[blahmehblah1]

Anita Pointer (her in the pink dress) is a pure gilf

I wish was around to fuck her in her glory days though :(

[Tina85ok]

80's FOREVER!!!<3333

[VenusGospeI]

[alejandrasuarezful]

me super encanta por dios

[beyondfamous]

@macron12 me either! i dont really know why, but, just something about her is perfect. she looks cool :D

[cioupty]

is that a transvestite singing???

[macron12]

The woman in blue is phenomenal, can't take my eyes off her

[PiLfan]

@macron12 Ruth kinda has a Pam Grier from "Jackie Brown" thing going on here. That may be why.

[bobcet56]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ood

[bobcet56]

good voice

[666callmeanytime]

oooooh this brings back so many memories xDxDxD I miss Vice City

[Idattani]

Lance Vance

[tdmhcbbds32chp]

I love her voice. Sultry and sexy... wish I had that voice.

[CIZAR002]

i like this song :D

[jemmabond]

She smokes a lot, that's why she sounds like that.

[DaveWollenberg]

@jemmabond No, it was 'cause Ruth yelled a lot.

[shevi04]

this is the tune of the best memories ever!

[kissesnguns124]

Its it just me or are these incredible women really thin?

[zor916]

its almost June's birthday. <3

[beyondfamous]

I think I watch this everyday

[gatorflight]

Vice City was the best game and still play it today.

[april819911]

Vice city

[TurboFuss1]

Man, late 2002 and 2003, weird times. Of course I'm referring to when Vice City was big.

[Mark1cDoctore]

vice city rulez

[tombafan]

vice city......

[AgaponisBrabao]

Damn! How can the world not miss this kind of song?

[TheKimberBenton]

This song is an amusing take on the way technology was becoming an increasingly dominant part of music in the 1980s. The singer is no more than a controlled automaton in the hands of her lover.

This won the 1984 Grammy Award for Best Arrangement for Two or More Voices.

[AbdulAziz348]

i thought she was dude when i herd it 

[JaQuezstarr16]

@AbdulAziz348 ikr when i saw her start singing, ii was like wat thaa hell???

[tall32guy]

@AbdulAziz348 That probably explains why this was the only PS song she did lead vocals on, that I know of. LOL

[PiLfan]

@tall32guy She was also lead on "Neutron Dance" i think.

[tall32guy]

@PiLfan Oh yeah! You're right! hehe

[TheUpholstery1]

@AbdulAziz348 I too, I was looking for an Adams apple

[cooksalotmom]

@AbdulAziz348 I know me too lol

[robopandakittycat]

a hot dude

[iPR0DUCE]

@AbdulAziz348 LOOOOOOOL same here!

[emmilija91]

@AbdulAziz348 me too.LOL



[dT666]

@AbdulAziz348 100% agree when i played GTA vice city as a teen.. always thought lead singer was a dude. and i was like pointer.. sisters!?? lol

Awsome song though :D
