[mysteriouskazakh]

Fred's poor monster really took a beatin...

[DaevaDrifter]

This guy's boner sounds TERRIFYING.

[gavinintucson]

funny then, funny now ;-}}

[joesbeard]

The reason it was banned was the fake butts. Unbelievable.

[aggiesspeakdatruth]

@joesbeard I loved the fake butts!!!

[Shootingsinger]

"When it comes into a room, people hit it with a broom".....LOL

[Sillygoth]

This just in: Fred Schneider's penis has claws and a beak.

[CollinMAFilms]

His voice is just so fucking creepy.

[xxxmorbidmonkeyzxxx]

Hahaha Penis ;)

[GoldenFrog]

Always loved this song. Never saw the video before. It's pretty cool. Fred was kinda cute in this video. I have no idea how this video is in any way controversial. Other than what the song is actually about, the video seems innocent enough to me.

[mr2del]

@GoldenFrog i'd find the fake butts on those three ladies and that penis cause 4 controversy. they looked real 2 me at 1st.

[MrGabelogan2012]

OH, I MISS THAT! FRED AND THE SHAKE SOCIETY! SEEMS LIKE MY FAVORITE GROUP, THE B-52'S...

[linusvanpelter]

That's Tina Weymouth, right?

[tomyazvids]

@linusvanpelter that's her!

[hellozio]

@linusvanpelter it is tina weymouth and it is cyndi from the b52s

[ladyday93]

Well it was 1983...

[stanlow1980]

Couldn't have been banned for too long, it was on MTV's Top 20 Demented Videos countdown in 1987/88. #1 was "Fish Heads!" :)

[HypnoToad72]

LOL, hilarious song with a good beat! (His album from 1984 was rather good; shame he didn't do a second solo outing with the Shake Society, but with the B-52s he's *better*.)

Great to hear Kate's vocals in this... and Fred makes an obviously silver/black 80s outfit work wonders. Almost timeless, actually... I'd love to wear that style today...

[skattbro]

Happy Birthday Fred!!!



[JRSKL]

Melhor dancinha de todas.. MUAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAHA....

[tomyazvids]

@Danika7044 fred is german and french

[witchcraftlord]

i have this on an original 1989 B52S vhs tape, , this version is a little different,

[tomyazvids]

@witchcraftlord this is the same video but a remastered audio version was for the re release in 91

[witchcraftlord]

@tomyazvids thats what i ment, i have this on tape, and i could tell from the first listen that the track in this video is different and not as great as the one on my tape, i could upload it but for some reason everything i upload is only on one speaker and not both left and right

[theALmighty66]

@witchcraftlord So it was remastered on or around 1989 but released in 1991 then?

[witchcraftlord]

@theALmighty66 i dont know where you are getting this info, i didnt say that, you are getting the wrong idea, i dont know what the fuck you are trying to say, or prove, I FUCKING HATE WHEN PEOPLE REMASTER CLASSIC MUSIC AND MAKE IT WORSE, they ruined blizzard of oz and the doors by remastering, they did it with the track on this video, the song is from 1984 what the fuck are you talking about? they remaster after, the version on my tape is the perfect better orignal mix,

[theALmighty66]

@witchcraftlord Wow. I'm just trying to understand, ha. Calm . . . calm. Here, check out this link: discogs.com/Fred-Schneider-Mon­ster/release/1505799 -- That's the 1990 single release. The edited version is what we see in the video here; the album version was released after this on his self-titled album. Or maybe it was all recorded in 1983 or 1984 but the full version wasn't available until 1990? I'm just trying to understand the story here; that's all. Don't freak.

[witchcraftlord]

@theALmighty66 dont fucking tell me to calm down, i am calm, are you here are you with me no you are no just because you think i sound upset and i swear doesnt mean im actually upset, dont fucking judge a book by its cover,

[theALmighty66]

@witchcraftlord . . . Wow.

[witchcraftlord]

@theALmighty66 wow, what whats your fucking problem, you have no right to tell me to calm down or say dont freak, i am calm, and i didn not freak, dont fucking confuse written words with emotion, i dont know what the fuck you are doing, and i dont fucking care, so i dont know what mood you are in, but ii could easly me like you and make an assumption that you are probly not in as a good of a mood as me, did your grandpa leave you $40,000 in the bank ? mine did, so shut up!

[andygo]

@theALmighty66 the album came out in 1984 credited to Fred Schneider and The Shake Society, then a slightly remixed version came out in 1991 with a new cover but credited to Fred Schneider only.

[theALmighty66]

@andygo oooOo, cooL! Thanks for telling me. So this version here is from the original 1984 version, I take it?

[gutter310]

@witchcraftlord ONe reason the Ozzy stuff got remastered, from what I heard. They erased certain instrument tracks and had someone else play them. THis is so the original musician on the original tracks wouldnt get paid anymore whenever a copy was sold. And with the new guy , i think they got a one time fee for playing or they are getting a smaller cut for playing. Whats worse is when they re record songs and do them differently than the original version and it sounds goofy.

[skattbro]

I Love to see Keith Haring in this Video !!

[scratchnsurf]

i wasn't even born when Fred Schneider wrote this song about my dick

[Remeday]

Hahaha I love the monster at the end. This song is timeless!

[splinky45]

Hysterical. Only Fred Schneider could come up with something like this.

[DeaconBlood]

I need an explanation how this could be banned from MTV, yet they parade Snooki out like she was Mother Theresa

[tomyazvids]

it was 1883. things were different

[2blue2jett]

@tomyazvids damn, we didn't get it til 100 yrs later :-P

[BonelessSausage]

@tomyazvids 1883... bahaha

[StormRisingOriginal]

@tomyazvids

[poortogee77]

@tomyazvids 1883?

[poortogee77]

think the tranny looking blonde is lady gaygay's mother

[Dragonrider1227]

@tomyazvids yeah, back then MTV actually had standards

[Cassie871310]

@tomyazvids 1983...



[REXistentialism]

@DeaconBlood

i'm gonna go with: You've gotta understand the nuances of selective censorship - - and how that meets the demographic of small time whores, looking up to big time whores.

[DBMalone]

@DeaconBlood Because MTV was owned by different people then... the people who actually founded the station in '81. You know... when they actually played music?

[HypnoToad72]

@DBMalone - well, it was banned because of the obvious double-entendre, of which we oddly don't get to see actual proof... If MTV actually showed music today, they would call this video "too tame" and prefer one-note electronic drivel with the bleached lady singer licking ice cream cones suggestively...

[DBMalone]

@HypnoToad72 Yeah... have to agree.

[saramunozmunoz]

@DeaconBlood

It was because of the dancing neon hot dogs. Really.

[bobbconner1]

this was awesome..i loved it and friends thought i was wierd...

[marasu66]

#Monster! #ManIMOld.

[TBKJDM]

neat

[aprilnyc]

A lot of fun!

[booknplays]

Not sue when it was banned from MTV because I remember seeing it there!

[xoxILoveCatsxox]

I love this song :D I laughed so much when I first heard it! One of the best members of The B-52s :)
