[rondollete]

2:17 SAX SOLO

[Sanjizzay]

I have heard this song approximately 500 times working at staples. Many a tear was spilt in Aisle 3, restocking file folders and slowly weaving back and forth. AMEN

[nascal552]

THE REAL MUSIC

[adamgcamcam]

[iJohnRocker]

@shyjesta1 so... yer name is Arthur and you live in NY?

[timtaylor2001]

A great song from a classic funny movie, Russell Brand has nothing on Dudley Moore.

[fatizoo1000]

I'm so so so sorry, guys, for what my generation did to music. I'm so taken by the 80's and 70's.

[tomnightlife]

I never knew Christopher Cross looked like that. Holy crap!

[artol2k]

@tomnightlife

RIGHT?!?!?

[kittygris]

My boyfriend dedicated this song to me... I just wish things were better for us, I miss him so much.

[artol2k]

@kittygris fuck that guy..what are you doing friday night??

[tomnightlife]

@artol2k Classic comment!!!

[criscojoe1]

The # 1 song the week my sister Lacey was born Oct. 4th 1981. Actually, it was Endless Love by Lionel Richey and Diana Ross...but I hate that song. This was # 1 a week and a half later....one of my faves.

[tninbredretard]

CHRISTOPHER CROSS LOOKS THE GUY THAT TOOK MY LUNCH MONEY IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

[TBDV1]

@tninbredretard Lets kick his asssssssss

[SXI10011]

[tonkinshipwreck69]

[lisalovezdrizzy]

Great memories from my teen age years I love this song then and I still love it now for ever!

[AbbeyRoad52]

Always liked this song, and I've always loved "Arthur" the original, not the shitty remake.

[TheShini666]

christopher cross (the best that you can do)

[TomthatiscalledTom]

I've not even been born yet, I've sent this comment back in time from the 26th century via a wormhole in the space-time continum. And I think 1970s and 80s music RULES

[erick198823]

@TomthatiscalledTom a como seras pendejo la neta

[dopz1987]

[ArkadiuszekEm]

Alcoholism is fantastic thing, new horizonts, new friends, no thinking about troubles of daily time, just simly images of our's life, greetings from Poland for all of you

[swvcat1]

This brings back some good memories from my childhood. Loved the song...loved the movie.

[morant85]

Aqui Você Ouve o Melhor do Flashback!!!!!!

[IRONMANHONDO87]

This song is so 80s. One of the best decades for good music.

[lostintimeline]

A great singer and a moving melody of one of the best films in the 80s.RIP DUDLEY MOORE a big loss to the film industry

[jeadboy7]

ARTHUR! <3

[lifternate]

I remember hearing this song as a kid in a 80s on soft rock stations while riding around in the car with my mom. The 80's was such a great decade for music -

[tugatomsk]

@lifternate Exactly my story. Long live car-radios!...

[MegaEvoguy]

Every time I hear this song it reaches me.

[jairtonporto3066]

Uma das Músicas mais Lindas do Passado....

[RobinsRemixes]

[orthodoxdragon1]

[gratheeus]

On Oct 11, 1981

"Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)" by Christopher Cross was the #1 song.

[guysan]

this may not be his best song (sailing) or the best during that area but I KNOW for a fact that this is much much better then what is on my 14 year old son"s ipod. 

[2jeremyable]

Everyone who drinks is not a poet. Some of us drink because we're not poets.

[Mascro1977]

back when Alcholism was funny!!

[VicVaselino1]

@Mascro1977 that was worth a good laugh out loud, thanks...

[DoctorGreenEar]

@Mascro1977 Still is

[priced80]

@Mascro1977 Still is, last week I got pissed and shat myself!! lol

[arjay921]

love it..

[SheepNorway]

Born in 1994, I just googled like boss only knowing "new york city" from the lyrics and FINALLY found this beauty! :)

[JeffFerguson]

I fail to see how, if I am ever caught between the moon and New York City, that the best that I can do is fall in love. It seems as though the best that I can do is to get myself unstuck. I also fail to see how I could get caught between the moon and New York City in the first place. What am I doing for air? Am I even alive? I think love can wait while I work to answer more pressing questions.

[BarbieBillionaire]

LOVEEEEE THIS SONG!!!!!

[JasonL77]

THere's something about the line "If you get caught between the moon and New York City" that I've always liked.

[jred1975]

the new Arthur wasnt so bad, russell brand and jennifer garner were great, liza minielliis charater update did not really fit in. still perfer if they would stop remaking stuff though

[1972para]

Great song,great film,great city!

[mikiale99001]

FANTASTIC SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[baza1701]

Chris i saw the new Arthur .... and the redo of your song and the new Arthur theme sucked awsome ... your version is a 1000X better....

[melglen1]

cristopher cross one of the best voices ever

[carlosmo50]

nós adoramos esse som é bom demais.

[arnoldsg1]

UNA JOYA

[turnex1]

Sung so effortlessly and with utmost talent and verve...the way music is meant to be. thank you for posting. I heard this song on the way to work this morning and it made SO nostalgic for my teens..way back in the golden 80s

[hornplayerchris]

I'm 8 months old and love this song.

[MrManhattan48]

best you can do don'[t mess with us

[AndTheWailers]

dirt nasty brought me here hahaha

[ashland1977]

I love this song so much

[AudaCity3371]

He's got such a beautiful, distinctive voice.

[peachkim]

Love this song! Classic! Thank you Mr. Cross for this song!

[RXRom4]

Watching Arthur at the moment. 

[zonatec]

me cagan los anuncios.

[greenandsheep]

Amazingly beautiful voice. I feel like I'm in a dream.

[gisolio85]

Oh and thank God for being born in the 80s

[gisolio85]

He sounds like peter cetera and the band chicago..for quite a while i thought he was cetera but thumbs up now i know him better! Long lives the 80s

[raspberrymuffin]

Man Christopher Cross looks like he could be a football player.

Great song, thanks for posting the video!

[jamesellis33]

@thatcommonsenseguy i feel sorry for that person xD

[Cream234]

I want to jack off and shoot my load on your titties.

[acenace24]

@Cream234

WTF?

[hebince44]

@Cream234 you're commenting this on the wrong vid...i think

[SarahMGalle]

this was uploaded on my 27th birthday

[mediterraneanqueen]

every now and then i'll hear this song on the radio or at various stores, and when i hear the first 14 seconds, my little head perks up and look up as if i'm trying to look for the music and then he starts singing and i just smile and my heart warms up, aaaahhhhh :) thought i'd share with you all :) :)

[CandyGirl7401]

@mediterraneanqueen I feel the exact same way when I hear his voice! Something about his voice makes you feel that everythings going to be ok. He captures the innocence of the 80's when I was just a kid. :)

[vicnporter]

Este tema recuerda uno de mis viajes mas felices....hoy uno de mis recuerdos mas amargos... :(

[roxilvia]

me gusta esta cancion y tengo 16 años jajaja

[freakyoboy]

i miss living in new york iam so home sick

[CottenCandyLuver22]

I Love This Song, The 80's, The Rhythm... And I'm Only 12.....

[54FLEX45]

Damn I love this song...

[vivianegropo]

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ʒ UE lembro dessa música por causa do Filme Arthur,1981,estrelado por Dudley Moore e Lise Mineli > O milonário sedutor.Muito legal Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

[isidrop2010]

This is music.

[BroRender]

@isidrop2010 True. Makes you want to go out a find some and fall in love,.

[BroRender]

@isidrop2010 True. Makes you want to go out a find someone and fall in love,.

[t0mme1981]

All Dudley Moore fans search out 'cancer' a track he made with Peter Cook..

Cut and paste "cancer derek and clive" into the search bar to hear an alternative Dudley Moore...

[StuzRoz]

@t0mme1981 - all derek & Clive is hysterical (jump you fucker jump) LEGEND, may they both RIP

[Doughnuts1994]

One day in the future, we'll also say such nostalgic things.. about Lady Gaga, Just Bieber etc.. because the music then most probably would get even worse than you would imagine, so you'd come to appreciate the craps you're talking about these days by then. So, i say, treasure the present and make the best out of it, you don't know what you will be missing after a decade or more :)

[MichaelHTillman]

@Doughnuts1994 No. One does not simply compare Lady Gaga to Burt Bacharach.

[Ellisonism]

@Doughnuts1994 Speak for yourself. No really, don't group me in with people who will nostalgia over that shitty artist. His lyrics are useless and his singing is just as worthless. I listened to all sorts of music while I was growing up even foreign music. Whether it be Gloomy Sunday by Rezso Seress, or Can't Stop by RHCP, I managed to listen to far greater artists without having to tolerate that garbage. I may not know what I'll miss 10 years from now, but I damn sure know I won't miss that.

[n00bsh1te]

thumb up if you think 80's is the gold era of music

[FEJ1106]

I feel sorry for 30 people, no love in their life.

[jeniferbonjovi]

This song is just PERFECT !

[jeniferbonjovi]

This song is just PERFECT!

[ASHLEYMSTARR]

wow times were so simply then days and night easy and free i miss those days

[manifin72]

great song man what a classic and the movie was great too.(dudley moore rip ) the 80 music was the beast they never get old.compare to what we have now.what ashame

[maleficentdiva]

its funny seeing this guy sing, it looks like he would have a very deep low voice, not a high voice! LOL!

[joeteds]

They just dont make them like this anymore.

[TheYizas]

Mather fuck... yuo sing like an afrikan amerikan.

[faustolg]

30 justin beaver fans hate this beautiful song and video...

[jakov911]

@faustolg you are certainly correct !!!!

[rodster213]

A great song, however it brings back thoughts of our wild and crazy youth which is great in itself.

[LISGODDESS]

i cried when Dudley Mooore died ok he played a drunk well. My mom had me watch this i hated it when i saw it in the thearthe but love it now its one of my favorite movie another Dudley flim i love is 10

[LISGODDESS]

when will a movie have a great song like this i think never again

[DG7WS]

I fall in love And I will do more than my children and wife

[CitySkin09]

Christopher Cross looks like my college roommate who never got laid but just like to talk about pussy...

[WH2012]

@CitySkin09 Wow. What class-less thing to say about someone undeserving of such contempt.

[CitySkin09]

@WH2012 -- Hey man, I'm just sayin'!

[WH2012]

@CitySkin09 You're a young guy - too young for such cynicism. Give it chance. You might surprise yourself. Just sayin'...

[CitySkin09]

Dudley Moore, you funny bastard!!

[illuminatioracle]

couviac from parker lewis + buzz from home alone + scutt farkis from a cristmas story + bulk from power rangers = christopher cross

[DaveWollenberg]

Chris hit #1 in Billboard, 10-17-81. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Dudley Moore, and Peter Allen.

[Justdisco2]

I went over the Brooklyn bridge in my convertible back in the day and it wasn't a pleasant experince,it started to piss down and i couldn't get the hood up on top of that there was a traffic jam, So when you are caught between the MOON and NEW YORK CITY remember to stick a brolly in your convertibles boot.

[evilinsydme]

AAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrgg! I want this mans hair!

[evilinsydme]

@StarOfJacob What are you fucking kidding me?

[StarOfJacob]

@evilinsydme Nope, ain't fucking kidding you. Some people are stuck on things in the world and I lived for materialstic bs at one point and had all I wanted. Things happened, lost a lot and I could've went back to that life and chose to walk away. It's hard to put a price on peace of mind and I have that now. My life wasn't identical to his but my doing whatever I wanted was but I wasn't a nice guy like Arthur.

[AdamCeyden]

[ricardaogsilva]

linda musica.

[superugly75]

The best yacht rock there is.....

[xalmonable]

Magical voice.

[ricardaogsilva]

@xalmonable perfect

[mkl62]

To all you Atlanta Braves fans (like myself): This was the #1 song in the USA when Nate McLouth came into the world (October 28, 1981).

[Toddlerman1]

Oh, God! How beautiful is this song.

Thanks Touhen.

And God bless Mr Moore on the other side.

[JimDoneIt]

DIRT NASTY!

[Bud42Gent]

The Movie ! ( Arthur ) Good Classic ! And the song ,, Classic Soft Rock !! Awsome !!

[jasonfallon123]

I know jeff porcaro played on the original tune but who's in this video??

[percypage74]

@jasonfallon123 Jeff (a very nice guy) indeed cut some tracks for Christopher Cross's debut album, but they ended up using Tommy Taylor's tracks instead. Tommy was the one who toured with Cross as well. However, you are correct in that the Burt Bacharach partnership for this song had Jeff playing on the studio recording. Tommy is the one in the video, though

[samyd4mom]

new york sucks!!!!!!!



[HectorCuellar100]

i like the part where he sings

[romefox]

Wow, the contrast between today's music and older music, it is clear how shitty todays music is!

[Gladrius]

Listening to this one was one of the few bright spots of my day during that awful year where I worked for Petsmart...

[wendys120]

I'd like to go back in time, too, but sometimes the best that you can do is enjoy your memories and listen to the great music from that era.

[Rocko369]
