[mariacri22]

I love it!!!!

[itsabirditsaplane00]

elton is not threatening



[bee52mitch]

Why can'y you pervert just leave the talk of Gays and Lesbians and Queers and Drag out ofyour comments and just simply enjoy the Music, Or Just Don't look at or listen to it,

[crazyhorse]

she looks like a drag queen.

[VRtechman]

Whats Elton wearing?

[strugglebuggietv]

Millie could whip Tina Turner....singing, that is...

[crescentmoonstar]

Another great from Elton! love this song..

[gyellowmoon]

Millie with Elton !! Who knew!! I love it!

[GravattChannel1]

worst of the worst of the 80's...(and I am an Elton fan.)

[BishiBanger]

Thanks for posting! Even though I've had this 12" for YEARS, I never knew a video existed! Prior to hearing this, I thought I was the only fag who, not only knows but fucking LOVES Millie Jackson. LOL

[MaryRSaunders]

dont get crazy fans lol but this reminds me kind of tina turner and mick jagger when they did "it's only rock n roll" together... im young but i love music from these artists

[hollidayevery]

I absolutely LOVE Elton John....He is so innovative, and has so many different sides to the music that puts together and who he works with...Elton and Millie Jackson??? UNBELIEVABLE, BUT THOROUGHLY BELIEVABLE for Elton....AND Millie!...GREAT SONG, GREAT VOCALS, AND GREAT ATTITUDE!!!!

[hardrein101]

at least Elton is open to working with anyone....did not think he would ever wrk with a millie jackson.

[SaturnTrack]

Epic.

[WisRonsin1]

EXcellent find silkwood 88 :D

[Jennliza1]

Massive!!!

[kingtetvideo]

Listen for the bass fills at 3:27

[Badger071]

Ha ha...back to the 80s indeed:0) But a great tune. Great vocals from both Millie and Elton.

[roaringwaterbay]

groovy. 

[kingtetvideo]

Somebody please remix this song! I saw it first on the Max Headroom show in 1985.

[Bodebodango]

This was back when Elton still would have thrown a proper Rogering on a chick! O got a bad feeling that this she donkey looking Millie may have sent him to the pucker hole side?

[Covertwalrus]

@Bodebodango Elton has always been talented, so therefore always gay.

[Bodebodango]

@Covertwalrus Yeah that makes since! if gays were so talented then they would figure out how to not sleep with the same sex!

[Covertwalrus]

@Bodebodango Actually, I think that is a matter of taste: given that you are male, it explains lesbians . . .

[Bodebodango]

@Covertwalrus Nothing explains lesbians!

[Covertwalrus]

@Bodebodango The choice between sleeping with you or another woman? The answer is intelligence . . . Something you neither posses nor recognise :)

[Bodebodango]

@Covertwalrus No woman or man ever slept with a man for intelligence!

[Bodebodango]

I remember when this came out in the states and they hardly played it because of its length I think! When I listen to it now it could have been a huge new wave dance song! Kind of a little Billy Idol Rebel Yell in it! And this is before Rebel Yell came out!

[adric137]

great duo!!

[pepszz]

this is a great video! Are there any more with Elton and Mille singing together? If so let me know ok.

[karokeexpresso]

great bass!

[kkdub79]

The Look on Millies Face 0:43... I love it.

[kingstonlj]

What an awesome song. Elton & Millie really rocked it. I love the video, too.

A classic!

[brotha3000]

How can two great artists come together and make such SHIT? Damn!

[mrgbennet]

The answer to your question is that the quality of songs and chart positions are completely unrelated and have been since 1963.

[MattZeCatt]

Really good song - I remember when it came out...it was poised to be a big hit and I believe there was a huge Huey Lewis movement that swept the nation...sad, considering the quality of this tune...good video...

[latinyong]

elton first asked miss tina turner

but the queen turned it down

it was not a great hit pitty because i love this song

[Rootdog40]

this is the first time i ever saw this video, its with ELTON JOHN, but so out of character to MILLIE JACKSON , since she is so much more a blues/r&b artist, but nice vid anyways.

[TheMrMaz]

Naaaah...sorry!!Mz.Millie deserves SO much better than THIS crap!!!!She don NEED no stupid expensive video (with absolutely NO relevance to what they're actually SINGING about!!) an that dumb ass 'beat'!!She was FULLY FORMED already!!The ONLY reason (that I can think of) that she wasn't the SUPERSTAR that she already was but people 'en-mass' didn't know about,was because the shit she was talkin about in her tracks was TOO FAR AHEAD OF IT'S TIME!!!!There's juss no other explanation!!This is DIRE!

[99830459]

ALRIGHTY NOW!!!!!

[vincent007100]

круто это я этот клип не соврать лет 20 уже не видел и не слышал ,я его себе в лист запихал.

[ccbryanjr]

I only ever saw this video once, way back then, but it made a big impression on me. Not my favorite song, but a whiz-bang vid for sure.

[BabyJaneHudson]

OMG! What a great video! I never heard this song before but it was wonderful! Love Millie JAckson and the expressons on her face as she sees the destruction. LOL

[KrowaMorska]

"This wasn't a bad song" ? Oh my - that was a great song !

Millie's voice is a bomb! the whole clip belongs to her.

do u think i'm wrong ?

[BabyJaneHudson]

I think you're right about this song belonging to Millie Jackson! Her voice is one of a kind.

[guarddog22]

I remember being surprised this wasn't a bigger hit too.

[laggie24]

Millie could surely frighten the "Sh" out from not just Elton but from all of us. G forbbid to not being even with her ...ha. What a mouth!

Seriously, I dig this tunes so much even in the '80s

[Elton78]

I haven´t seen this video for like 15 years...love the song, it´s a little bit different from other Elton John-songs.

[carlynutt]

This was a great song but I had never seen this video until just now.

[fannycraddock99]

This was always fun in a strange kinda way.

[islezeus]

This song is bitchin'! Yeah!

[flipponzin24]

I have never heard this song before but I love it! I wish this came along with Ice On Fire.

[TylerGDaniels]

@flipponzin24 originally it it did, but the latest reissue didnt include it. go figure, i liked it

[MadameLil]

This vid reminds me of Culture Club's "The War Song". Isn't that creature on stilts towards 13/14 supposed to be Boy George? Supposedly, Elton was feuding with him at the time.

[lcbrec]

This song was offered first to Tina Turner but she turned it down. At the height of her Private Dancer comeback she also turned down Sisters Are Doin It For Themselves...and Aretha and Millie benefited.

[UncleBoogieRF]

Tina Turner is overrated. Millie bought the fire to this. Excellent song. Excellent video. Criminal almost nobody seems to remember it. I remember seeing the video on Max Headroom!

[BabyJaneHudson]

Sisters are doi it for themselves was Aretha and annie Lennox.

[mk3stargazer]

excellent song, never seen the video before!

[blaqmnm]

Once Millie opens her mouth I forget about Elton. I love elton but this song is terrible. I love the idea though. And Millie is da baddest B***h! HEAR THAT TRINA!?!

[nsynczaw]

I would have never expected a Trina shout-out on this video LOL...loved that

[bdcoats]

Why do they have Millie lookinh like Dr. Seuss's THING 1 THING 2?!!!!

[pminner]

I love Millie..but that is funny!!

[door2yourheart]

Fantastic, clever video! Millies voice brilliant as ever! Shame about the song!

[tt247jer]

Tina Turner wore that dress

[mignonhenne]

one of my fave songs from a weak album , even queen / cliff riocahrd/nik kershaw couldn't save it.never knew there was a video.

[tali4569]

Shame that one of Elt's greatest songs ever is also along with "The Camera Never Lies" one of his most unknown

[oopscrikey]

Thought that I'd never see this bugger again! It took me long enough to even track the audio down!

Can't say that I particularly like Elton in general but this is tops!

[pshanemc]

You can expect nothing less than a performance like this from Millie Jackson. I had the pleasure of meeeting her recently. What a sweet and hospitable woman.

[latice]

What is she up to? I wish she were out performing more!

[PrestonPowell]

Elton always had a thing for soul divas, he only sings with those who have authentic soul. Him and Patti LaBelle are great friends, too.

[coltranes]

But hasn't he also sung with absolutely dire boy-band Blue? The most inauthentic soul group imaginable.

[godwhyisthistaken]

great old 80s nice elton and millie thanks for the video and the song i never heard from elton.

[AllRequired]

Notice a few numbers on the timer got skipped over?

[BalloonBlower]

...and 34 and 35 are out of order.

[ybb187]

nice... i like it

[dvbhgjbhe]

how can millie stand up to such a legend. It's amazing!

[AsSeenOnTVEE]

OMG... I never knew this existed. I think I like Elton on Stilts in this video the best..What a fabulous queen!

I only knew Millie as a comedian and not a serious vocalist, but clearly she has the pipes.

[kstrat]

Not a serious vocalist? You're just kidding right?

[ClassicTVFan82]

What's with the countdown from 60 here?

[Moyet]

Millie!What a great voice!

[ssballs]

Just saw Millie,she's ONE strong singing lady!never knew they worked together either.Fun Vid!

[gypsyluv]

She comes on way too stong- the other clip about partee-ing- if you have to make a man eat...then you must not be worth eating in the 1st place...they shoild do it willingly...I guess that was not Milie's luck- hmph

[poshspice007]

Gosh i miss the 80's when black women looked like Tina Turner, and gay men didnt care that their fag hats sat down atop their ears and made them appear elfish and offputting..GOD I MISS THE 80S

[Zipviper]

Good God, the famous Elton John duking it out with the tough-talking Millie Jackson. I had never seen this one before, and I don't think anyone would want to give her any trouble. If you choose to do so, she'll knock you flat on your back and curse you out. Elton John could possibly take it anyday and supposedly he'd understand.

[mikeyinqc]

i think the reason this did not do well on the charts is because it was included on the "ice on fire" album. but only as a bonus track with the casette version, the album did not have the track- so the majority of album sales did not even have the song.

[ClassicTVFan82]

What about the CD version?

[mikeyinqc]

hadn't heard this in 20 years- a real gem- thanks for posting!

[SoulMachine24]

I guess Elton had a thing for wild women. In this video Millie had that Tina Turner look goin on here. This is a special treat for the fans of Elton & Millie. Thanks for the upload!

[tempodrops]

Love this video!

[Quiltsalad]

Notice where Millie is seemingly startled by the explosions (about midways the video) and starts to smile. Cute

[Quiltsalad]

I had no idea that Millie Jackson and Elton John had made a song together. Live and learn.

Songs pretty nice though.

[fannycraddock99]

Great song, great video, odd pairing!
