Cameo - Word Up

[OlloX3]

LOL and i thought KoRns version was best. HAHAHAHAHA

[coreecherri]

Larry got a tight ass lil body, and the red cup is so FIE! (fire)

I remember being so turned on by him when I was younger. I was so fast... :)

[insectodroid]

larry has the best flat-top haircut ever !

[MsBeall502]

Tell ya brother, ya sister, and ya Momma too!!!! Cause we're about to throw down and you know just what to do!!!......Go Cameo Go!!

[wanderer1031]

dance mutha fuckers!!!! dance!!

[49erRyder]

reading rainbow.....

[psychrolutes]

the red codpiece looks... uhm. funny.

[AlphaTOY]

That Larry was the shyt ... He had all the college kids lookin' for a cup ... but couldn't nobody wear it like him ... props bruh ...

[bebito1a]

he still wears the cup when they perform live.

[TREBOR4275]

3:18 CLASSIC MOVES

[Throbber1]

I wonder if he still wears ' it '

[speedracersimpson]

korns a lot better but its still good

[ybot1983]

nothing tops this

[eragoofy1]

What I think I like most about Cameo's music is their ability to stay in that Funk-Pocket through a whole song. And then they hit you with those incredibly funky bridges 2:18-2:50, Love it!!!!!

WORD UP!

[eragoofy1]

No, it's not Wesley Snipes; it's Kunta Kente - Levar Burton from the famous ROOTS series. LOL :)

[tct139]

I did not know Wesley Snipes could sing lol

[inlinecod]

is this wesley snipes? :|

[GreyxNinja]

first heard this song when we played it in band. I gotta say, its pretty awesome ^_^

[tazlynn1965]

Love love love this song it was the song to dance to back in 1987, and still is..

[magepker12]

lol that thong thing ruins the song

[FaceGenital]

It's called a codpiece and it's old school pimp gear. Like medieval old school pimp gear. The only thing more pimp than that is bear skin briefs, caveman style.

[magepker12]

to me its being gay

[StandingRoom]

"Got a weird thing to show you..."

Let me guess - is it red?

[alancolon]

lol 2:39 "The Elbow Lobe"

[yellabonej24]

look at kunta dancin go ahead brotha dance lol

[shannaro59570]

korn version is the best

[twarnier]

lol @ his pants

[satsatur]

Funk de verdade!

[otisian8]

word up this is the greatest ever!!!

[leoaltava]

a versão do korn é melhor!

[mapboy78]

I was 8 years old back then

[eleclipse96]

Cameo, this is the original song

[TheManAbove]

Nothing will ever beat the original, but I noticed some people talking about the Korn version. Dude, the cover used in the movie "Barb Wire" from the band Gun was much better than the Korn version, but neither of those two live up to the original.

[Fraimco]

Great song, I love 80's hits!!!

[gugs76]

bunch of Steve Harvey look alikes.

[iammready]

Coolness. I saw this band in concert when I was such little kid....geez I can barely remember, but this FUNKADeLIA is well ingrained. I KNOW EVERY LYRIC and they threw out promo stuff after the last song! I caught one, CD. Can't sit still

[metalrod23]

Walk down the street or in a big store with a red codpiece and see how many people stare at you.

[ElectricHawk]

They'd only be jealous of my style.

[ElectricHawk]

I need an outfit like that lead singer... I'll get all the bitches.

[raychamp01]

really great song

[mistermambo]

moustaches

[XlXlXlXmorganXlXlXlX]

omg i love that thing they do w/ they're legs! at 0:38 l0l0l0l!!!

[reddeath41]

this is the old school jam

[David200k]

God Above.... This stuff was new when I out of my teens! It makes me feel so old...

[Dark1Poet]

urkel is doing it big in this video. Word up yo!

[funkeisfunkay]

i wear silver tights with a mirror cod piece!

[7miledopeboy]

86 bitch

[discobillproductions]

fantastic

[BBoyHerrVorragend]

great song..never reached

[KingKuhl90]

the sound is the same by Jan Delay - Türlich Türlich and the Korn cover

[rivercolalight]

is das original, korn, boss hoss und jan delay habens nur gecovert

[BlizzardofDiamonds]

korn covered it and i think the coverversion is better

[OBMB]

... what ? Keep thinking ... :)

[MiaoPurrington]

Korn and Cameo aren't in the same musical vein. Your more inclined to rock perhaps...

[redsamuraidragon]

lmao.. I like that... "Aren't in the same musical vein." I gotta remember that.

[rudeawakeningxxx]

you don't read much eh

[rudeawakeningxxx]

you're a fucking retard

[redsamuraidragon]

Who me? I read plenty. Perhaps it is you who would like to be retarded.

[xxdoffexa]

like i said korn is way better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kazzkingsize]

nice cameo

[meoma1966]

Not to forget, that LeVar Burton played Kunta Kinte in 'Roots' - and was born in Germany :-)

[Shiznaft1]

Levar Burton... Classic

[davidbobo25]

What year did this song came out?

[gunpowderandlead13]

in the 80's

[loganidol]

'86. The year I was born. And it was one of the defining hits of the 80s.

[DaddyFabalus]

nice pants, i heard this on that simpsons ep about crosswords.

I love funk.

[NYCPANCAKES]

Levar was the man! Music video, star trek next generation, READING RAINBOW!!! Represent!!! Sorry *ahem*

[derbusch123]

ich liebe die mars werbung^^

[coriquam]

this song got me hooked on korn, but i didnt know that it was a cover of cameo's song. cool...

[a6foot6]

You shuld listen to more funk . a lot of the so called band today cover unknown ( to you) funk bands. For some reason southern US Marching bands covered Talking out the side of ur neck. Including LSU's marching band. I just hope they paid Larry Blackmon.

[KaishaLaSha83]

Yes southern marching bands do that. Its a segment called Battle of the Bands during halftime, and its RIDICULOUS!!

and.. you know they didn't

[realdeal119]

its reading rainbow

[uncROCKSout]

Kunta Kinte

[Rissa06]

You must of watched Black to the Future on Vh1 lol

[Edelmetall]

Die Version von KoRn find ich persönlich irgendwie besser :)

[Karl5743]

lol dieser tunten style damals einfach nur zum kaputt lachen aber trotzdem richtig geiles lied

[summerhill29]

weird

[DGcrip]

man das hört sich an wie jan delay von schwarzen auf englisch^^

trotzdem geil

[solvrn]

I tried to translate this on Babel Fish and I go this:

"one sounds oneself like January delay from black on English nevertheless geil."

That's assuming it's German, I have no idea.

[meddelhed]

dude, that sounds like Jan Delay by black people/like a black Jan Delay in English^^

nevertheless awesome

[ChiXp]

Well, it is German, but it's more like this:

"dude, that just sounds like a jan delay song being sung by a black guy in english, but it's still wicked"

by the way, jan delay is a singer

[RobsieRob]

in english: "dude, sounds like Jan Delay (German musican) in english). nevertheless it rules"

[leezambeezam]

y the fuck do u want it in german thats fuckin stupid

[memorexi8]

Because some people who come from this country called Germany speak something we like to call "German" and may not be able to understand it in English.

Does that answer your question, little man?

[LE2BIGBEN]

GREAT SONG LOL

[WKaliber1]

sounds like Aerosmith

[jpwpml]

thats bad IM WATCHING KoRns!!!!!!!!!!!

[porternorwich]

I was watching 80's vids the other day and this one came up. After it was over i had to run up here and check it out again. And Lavar was also in Reading Rainbow. Great vid FTW!!!

[jordanprince08]

im doing a fashion show with this song loool

[shoddyharp]

i like it, its so... so... its so 70's

x

[charlesescalona]

i can play it on the trumpet!!

[jimmyx77]

nice trousers!

[Xescapethefate0]

nice DiScO TiMe

[JulchenJule81]

recht hast de bienchen;)

[oOsumsebieneOo]

absoluter hamma song!!

[setfree2day]

Only reason I came to this site is because my son was singing this song, and then I started to sing it and he said "Mom? You know this song?" I said uhhh yaaaa, But the original sounds better. He said the "original?" so I took him here. They took this song and made it into a rock song by Korn. :(

[supremelysexy]

I'm watching the simpson and they're playing this song, so we look it up on youtube and my son and I have the exact same conversation......tooo weird!!!!!

[robbieloler]

that mustache is immaculate!

[JandoMcl]

Definitiv!!!

[Docktorcheff]

Schwul aber trotzdem geil!!

[cheshairss]

Great!

[jcorlieon]

is that the reading rainbow guy?

[setfree2day]

LOL yes it was!

[Panterametal3]

HAHAHA HOLY SHIT YOUR RIGHT!

[sinbd]

also known as geordi!

[Blaaguuu]

I don't think LeVar Burton was anywhere in the video, if that is who you mean o_O

[jcorlieon]

wtf are you talking about idiot!!!! he is the first person in the video!!!! he says "cameo, dont even think about it come out with your hands up"....get on yo game bitch!!!!

[Blaaguuu]

Oh, I wasn't even paying attention to that little intro scene... You might be right there, it does look a lot like him.

[mariacultrock1]

IT IS HIM BLIND FUCKFACE = AND U CONDESCEND TO SAY 2 JCORLIEON THAT "OH I WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THat bit " u wanker that bit is part of the whole fucking joke = muthafucker i am european & even i get the W.O.R.D UP AS IN SUPPORTING A RADIO STATION.  THIS IS 1 OF THE BEST SINGLEs & VIDSs EVER MADE BUT U WERN'T PAYING ATTENTION & THEN U POST CRAP U GOTTA BE A YANK ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD SHOW THEMSLVES UP SO BADLY

[Blaaguuu]

mariacultrock1, I am a person who admits when they are wrong. I saw a lot of people making a claim that I didn't see as accurate, and made a comment to perhaps clear things up (specifying his name). Then yourself and jcorlieon have to take it upon yourselves to be infantile and call me silly names. I usually don't pay attention to music video "intros", because I watch them for the music, so I missed him. Also, please remember that using caps lock on the internet only makes you look ignorant.

[Catlicker101]

Lavar burton...Yep! he was also on ROOTS and Star Trek Next Generation. Multi talented actor

[BassShellMan]

the Korn cover is better in my opinion

[jcorlieon]

nah, you just like white music!!! bytch

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

No way can it compare to the original.

[bweazel]

What orginal are you talking about?

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

This one.

[stealthrt92]

The codpiece is just to much. LOL

[LaurenandAllye]

best song ever!!!!

[zappingtoontown]

I like cameos candy so im just lookin at thewre other videos lol

[caseybondy63]

this is lame no one says word up

[Jozch]

that´s what 80s are made of

[dreykmia]

The girl at 1:16 looks fake haha Cameo is awesome

[TEZZYBOY1]

The Wuss of zorro?

[zebedeelennon]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahaahhaha­ahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! i love you!

[TEZZYBOY1]

Mathew,wuss,Luke and John?

Don't sound right to me.

We know you're in America it's on your profile.

[motoxfan6]

korns version is way better

[minujk]

Why is LaVar Burton dressed like Inspector Gaget? Did he direct this video. CAMEO ROCKS, FUNKS, SOULS, R&Bs ----Todays music sucks.

[MonicleManStudio]

i think that this version is mych better than the Korn version , which is in fact garbage , in my view

Rock on Cameo!

[thomas49th]

i like his nappy

[AmandaLowe4]

deff KoRn

[catheyeluvsmusic]

I personally like BOTH versions of the song...and I am sure that that Cameo is very humbled and grateful that these young men in Korn admired their work enough to want to re-record it.

[169brad]

absolutly spiffing vid all modern songs are not a patch on the stuff from 1970 / 80s who agrees?

[Futurist1972]

169brad, i certainly do. Its like decent music has skipped a generation (yes there has been rare exceptions). But for originality nothing compares. Theses days its all diluted re-sampled and copies of copies.

[Nivrah1988]

I have to agree with you. and the same with most movies now a days. Like "The day the Earth Stood Still" It's just a remake. My friend thought that Korns rendition of this song was the original. same with that movie I just mentioned. People now-a-days don't realize that most of what they listen to, or watch, are remakes.

[YoungGuitarPlayer]

I love this song, and his voice, although it does sound like he's singing whilst holding his nose LOL

[dirtdogg619]

who says "whilst"anymore?

[YoungGuitarPlayer]

People who can talk using correct punctuation and grammar, maybe?

[dirtdogg619]

I use correct punctuation and grammar and I still say while. i'm not stupid,in fact, I'm quite intelligent, yet I STILL say while.get out of the 1800's.

[YoungGuitarPlayer]

Why are you so bothered about which words i decide to use? I prefer to use words which make me stand out, rather than blend in, but i suppose you'd prefer to blend in and be a nobody, where i will be a somebody and stand out. Merry Christmas.

[dirtdogg619]

I see your point but the words you use is not a very good way to express yourself.there is every other way in the world to express yourself and be a REAL individual.merry christmas to you as well.

[YoungGuitarPlayer]

Words you use ARE not a very good way to express yourself..learn to type properly dude.

[dirtdogg619]

I sis type properly learn how to say grammar errors.

[zebedeelennon]

surely you mean.... "i DID type properly" (then you missed a comma out) learn how to say grammatical errors!! happy new year! x

[dirtdogg619]

this is none of your business bitch.

[zebedeelennon]

well done, you spelled everything properly, but i am male!

[dirtdogg619]

sexist bastard.

[zebedeelennon]

how does telling you that i am male make me a sexist bastard...you must be a dumbass american or something.

[dirtdogg619]

well if you knew anything you would know that a bitch is a female dog.not a woman.and if you anything else,you'd know that if you call a man that it means punk.

[zebedeelennon]

so you are saying i am a female dog? are you on drugs? i am a punk though, so thanks!

god bless america, land of the dumbass.

[dirtdogg619]

I'm not from america you mark.

[zebedeelennon]

well you should go there, its full of nutters like you. my name aint mark either, its paul. would you like to come round for tea deputy dog?

[dirtdogg619]

who said I wasn't there now? wow... your so stupid you don't realize I said not FROM america. shows how oblivious to facts you are.and by the way,if you knew anything more than being an uptight bastard you'd know that mark means wuss

[zebedeelennon]

if you learned to read and comprehend you would understand that i said you should go there...which must mean you are not there, and while i am here, i must say that i am not uptight, you are seeming very stressed out with all this, i bet you have skid 'wusses' in your pants by now, go and take a tablet and relax a bit. love and peace x

[zebedeelennon]

yeah you'd like to wouldn't you, well if you cheer up and bring me some flowers, i might let you!! you better buy a strap on though, i have a feeling that your dick is tiny, that's why you are so angry.you have yappy dog syndrome dude.

[dirtdogg619]

yea, whatever. go suck your moms dick.

[zebedeelennon]

i will, it is bigger than yours you fuckin yankee retard. x

[ltjfq]

i think that puts zeb in the lead..Go Zeb xx

[dirtdogg619]

you just proved your a fag and that our mos a hermphrodite.oops, I shouldn't use big words around your tiny brain.

[zebedeelennon]

hahahaha...damn right you shouldn't use big words, you can't even spell 'em right you dumb fuck!! you just proved you're american.hahahaha you really cheer me up sometimes. thank you.

[dirtdogg619]

[dirtdogg619]

yeah well, your welcome.

[zebedeelennon]

[dirtdogg619]

to tell you the truth I was never really angry.

[zebedeelennon]

well you are a good actor then, i wish i had an oscar to give you! do those stun gloves work by the way, i want one.

[dirtdogg619]
