  • this song is epic.

  • Malcolm was WAY ahead of Madonna. Totally..

  • amazing.

  • 25+ years later and we still can't stop listening & watching this video. 

  • Great history piece. Know where you come from children. These kids layed the path for you. Now walk freely and be your self! Awesome!

  • All that is considered "new" and "hot' owes a GREAT debt to the GREAT Malcolm!

  • QUALITY.......................­.

  • Does anyone know who the guy dressed in black with the curly hair is? Not Willi... the other one.

  • @MarcusTheGrand

    Adrian Ninja

  • Amazing, Amazing, Amazing.

  • RIP WILLIE AND ALDONA MISS U FROM BERNICE JOHNSON. SORRY I NEVER MEET MALCOLM MISS U ALL

  • R.I.P. Willie and Malcolm!!

  • RIP all my bros who've were dying of AIDS when this came out. Many of the kids would dance for them. i hear it was a scry time.

  • is this where madonna got the vogue thing or was this after madonna?

  • @spirit162003 yeah, this is where madonna got it from. but in reality, it was going on in all the clubs. people were dancing like this. and madonna would go to these clubs sometimes and see them dancing. so i guess she decided to make a song about it.

  • Fantastic track and an iconic video! I got the 12-inch in the 90s and I completely agree madonna just magpied this foir "Vogue" which is a so much weaker song anyway. Lourdes is a much better singer than Madge, the dancving is better, the Moore/Orbit remix work is a revelation!

    It has something deeply moving about it, and a real sense of danger, discovery and peril, as the girl character moves into the big city - that's a big part of what makes it so very appealing. -Great orchestration too.

  • Elate na ta kounisoume mazi stin Ellada sto nisi

  • not satisfied with ripping these artists off completely she even called her daughter lourdes how original - trashy rip off tramp

  • to all those anoying Madonna fans...hit the road...this is the real stuff...and if you don't like it...just don't watch and don't bother to give unintresting comments!..huray for Malcolm RIP....

  • beautiful.......grace & power.....

  • the guy with the gloves looks like a lion with all that hair

  • Madonna RIPPED him off, and others .. see bit[.]ly/bn1z5D

  • watch the movie Paris is Burning and you will know more about the story of the dancers and much more.

  • this video seem to have something deeper to it, like a sense of history or something, idk, I can't explain it.

  • letting the gurls have !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fiercely sickning.........!

  • fierce....willie ninja ..work moma !!!  rip

  • delicious bejia!

  • Nifty....

  • Like totopatter, I'm really moved by this track. I always loved it, but did not understand its significance until I saw the 1988 documentary "Paris Is Burning" a couple of years later.

  • Like totopatter, I'm really moved by this track. I always loved it, but did not understand its significance until I saw the 1988 documentary "Paris Is Burning" several years later.

  • Does anyone know the names of the people in the video?

  • Comment removed

  • this was the first "Vogue" -- madonna sent a friend to sit in on the production of this vid, (choreagraphed by legendary willie ninja) which led to her biggest song / vid up to that time...u can hear and see vogue so much in this sort "prototype" which many prefer to madonna's

  • RIP Mr McLaren : (

  • Madonna's friend went to the taping of the Deep in Vogue video (choreographed by the legendary Willi Ninja) and told Madonna about Willi and the dancing, which then led to the song and video Vogue. Madonna did what pop artists do best, which is take from liminal sub-cultures and bring it to the pop-culture sphere. This song and video were instrumental to that.

  • RIP Malcolm

  • マルカムは私たち日本人に多大な影響をもたらしてくれました。

    貴方のカッコよさは言葉に出来ません

    マルカムよ永遠に

  • RIP Malcolm McLaren

    I love your "Individuality" always being on the cutting edge...of just about everything

    and your gift of bringing together the most unlikely music .....

    Madame Butterfly....Carmen's Habanera....Deep in Vogue

    Aria on Air... and Paris Paris

    are my favorite songs ....

    You will be missed ...

  • @BasenjiOwner You have completely summed him up, i liked that he wasn't a conformist or mainstream.

    All those songs plus, all those on the Bootzilla Orchestra album, i love Buffalo gals and Soweto.. Waltz Darling..

  • RIP Malcolm McLaren. This has always been my favorite.

  • The inventor of the Rock´n Roll Swindle died today. R.I.P. Malcolm

  • just saw this extended version,only knew the shorter one.

    Most voguingdancers knew over a hundred poses under 3 minutes,phew...

  • @lukinikos it means Rest In Peace,you can read that on most graves at the cemetary

  • i think Madonna's interpretation of Vogue was equally as good, she was out on the scene around this time and very much influenced by Vogueing, remember Malcom provided a soundtrack to what was already going on, this is his take on the Dancefloor sensation, Madonna had hers... both equally as important and unique in my opinion, they were both inspired by gay, black culture at the time, which one came firt is irrelavent.

  • @benjo231: Maybe, but McLaren's still came first. Also, it was about them, not him, versus hers being about her ...

  • I fail to see the wrong it that to be honest, she looked amazing and it was meant to happen. Her connection with Black, gay culture is legendary, the day her ballet dancer took her to a Detroit gay bar when she was 16 changed her life and gave us the fearless woman we know and love, the woman whom has openly supported gay culture for decades, so her priorities have changed bu that doesnt bother me. Her back up dancers were spotted by her at a Vogue ball in 1989 btw.

  • @benjo231: Yea, the year this came out ... face it, she lagged.

  • Not really, Vogue was written and concieved as a song in early 1989, it was to be the B-Side to Keep It Together released late 1989, Warners decided it was to good a track so released it as a single in late feb 1990, the actual song was concieved way before that, around the time this was concieved, it was released late by default. No one is copying no one here, why make hostility when there is none?

  • @benjo231 Your math is off by a bit- this piece was done in 1983- to 1989- a five year gap... Madonna was completely 'inspired' by Malcolm's piece..

  • Was it fuck! This was written, recorded and shot in 1989! LMAO! 1983, insane!, are you actually a Mclaren fan?

  • Madonna was inspired by the Vogue balls of NYC in the late 1980's-early 90's just like Mr Mclaren was along with C&C Music Factory and other trance/house groups, in the early 80's Mclaren was rocking the punk/hip hop rap scene, get your facts right.

  • @benjo231 No that is clearly wrong.This was recorded and mixed from December 1989 to early January 1990, then released in late March 1990. This was supposed to be on the B-side of Keep It Together which of course set to be released in late January 1990. The video itself was shot on February 9 and 10, 1990. Copyright registrations even give creation dates in Q4 of 1989 and Q1 1990.

  • Why no iPods on the shadow-dancers?

  • what is RIP

  • Malcolm 4 ever. This is really amazing. What a time!! I was in NY and saw the Vogue battles on the dancefloors of Queens and Manhattan. FAB!!!

  • My Youth

  • R.I.P. Malcolm.

  • Fabulous...just fabulous!!!

  • Madonna copied....but never could match to the SUPREME! McLAREN! Inspiring!

  • Yay! Willie Ninja!!! McLaren may not have created anything literally, but he brought a magnifying lens to important movements like the voguer's balls in NY. He had a great way bringing talented people to the forefront who might not have had a chance otherwise.

  • R.I.P.

  • Live fast, Die Young. RIP M.

  • REALNESS BITCHES! Learn it children,LEARN. IT. WELL!

  • ... fabulous!

  • In todays world of 'no risk' and pure formula safe "Idol" music..he was a true original!

  • never saw this extended version , thanx for posting , RIP Malcolm. 20 somethings , watch , learn and take notes about what a shameless idea thief Madgezilla is.

  • @tennyc You should include 30 somethings too cause after all many of them were born in the 80's were just little kids in the 90's.

  • Malcolm , " BUFFALO GIRLS "

  • actually...if you check out Jody Watley's video for her song "Friends", you'll see that she had vougers in her video befor Madonna also. and maybe even befor Malcolm.

    right on Jody!

  • sweet

  • THIS TRACK BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES :(

  • @totopatter very true....many memories, and ALL good!

  • @totopatter it does that for me too....I really can never get tired of watching this......RIP Willie N......this video is a testament to the Art of Vogue, and a part of his Legacy.

  • Brilliant choreography!

    Btw, I sold the original CD that contains this song a few months ago

  • HOT!

  • This is the ONLY Vogue song..yes, there is madge, but this came first, and is far truer to the spirit of Vogue.

  • @mkpyle67

    well I adore Madonna's Vogue but this is a classic

  • @mkpyle67: his Waltz Darling is also about Voguing balls ...

  • @mkpyle67 "far truer to the spirit of Vogue", really? Can you ellaborate that or you just say things without thinking? Besides that, Madonna never said she invented Vogue, however it is undeniable she was the responsible for bringing it into mainstream and letting the world know what it is. And just for the record, Madonnawas already voguing in 1989, before the song Vogue, while performing Exppress Yourself.

  • @bhindex true but jody wately was voguing even befor that.

  • @vogue1993 It seems to me you are trying to credit someone as responsible for creating voguing - at the same time you try to discredit Madonna for shedding her light on it. Voguing, as any other cultural happening, cannot be traced back to a single person. It was the artistic expression of a group of people, at a certain place, at a particular time.

  • @bhindex im not trying to credit anybody.........i know the story...ive done my homework trust me.

  • @mkpyle67 prefer MADONNA.

  • @mkpyle67 I totally agree! I learned how to Vogue because of this song and video!

  • I love this song. I didn't think I would find it on Youtube.  RIP Willie Ninja, he was an excellent person.

  • Lord, please forgive for being so say and hearing this music back in the 90s... :p

  • Darling the suits were designed by Thiery Mugler

  • Who designed the suits?

  • Where can i download this song?

  • The Original "MasterDiVa" Of Vogue.

    He's th Original also featured in th documentary " Paris Is Burning "

  • RIP Willie...you were so beautiful in this video...as you were in life.

  • Omg! This is brilliant! I remember hearing this in 1989 in Italy.. I love it! BtW I'm straight. But loving the colourful world.
