This is pure bliss & magic. Blues, pop, rock, & jelly roll piano jazz never sounded so bada**, tasty & fun, served up phenomenally by Irene Cara, Lee Curreri & the film's ensemble cast of musicians, singers, & dancers, improvised with phat sass, sparkling exuberance, & flavor!
Singing, Acting, Dancing, Drawing, Design (aka Clothes), Instruments, and Writing are #1! Mainly because your born with it. its not something you can just learn. Even Instruments. Its all about Interest and Natural Born Talent.
Wild youthful exuberance. Sure, its a scene in a movie but so what. It is a gas. One can't help but wonder how such a talented singer like Irene Cara could subside somewhat in terms of "pop culture", yet so many others of far less ability seem to have achieved a rather higher level of fame, however dubious in nature.
very original, creative work. unlike the BS they have today they have all this technology, etc and STILL cannot make a show HALF as good as this one. OMG this was my favorite i still love the music. Same with like WEST SIDE story, GREASe, and other kick ass musical original shows.
It's hard to think of a better song or video that captures the frantic exuberance of youth -- at least back in the '80s. I was a freshman in college when this came out and we totally loved this.
Watching this clip makes feel like dancing, it's soooo energetic and powerful. It reminds me old school days and when the world was a better place to live in.
Real life would be so much more pleasant if people would spontaneously break out into song & dance like in this scene. In the movies, one person starts, and it ends up brilliantly like this video. In reality, one person starts, and security usually shows up.
Definitely one of the livliest moments in the film. I love how it starts out with just the cymbals beating and then the piano comes in and then everybody jams. This scene is indeed a "hot lunch jam".
I wish we could do somrething like this in my scxhool. If there was a school like this I don't care who I would have to kill to get in

The thing that stands out the most for me in this film is how New York city used to be such a dirty city! Anyway, great scene.
