[gruffy1214]

well done ... you were Glee B 4 Glee is and the tubby bearded guy is FINE

[PerformanceLoverC]

This is a kickass school project. Well, you picked a kickass song. I like the Michael Keaton "Batman" reference in the beginning. May I ask what was assigned for the project, just because I'm curious?

[jcasino]

@PerformanceLoverC Thank you. It was done back in the 80's. We were learning to use 3/4 inch cameras and the assignment was to create a music video. If I remember right most of the video's in class were concert recording. We were the only one's to do a story based music video.

[4vampirehunter]

[emofairybimbobird]

how ironic that the arbiter is wearing a phantom mask

[ShandySteve]

Great video - really entertaining - complements this classic track from "Chess" extremely well!

[Stupot80s]

[RochesterFICS]

I'm the arbiter at chess tournaments sometimes.

[thejumpsuitman]

Cool. Looks like you guys had fun. Those were my times too. Wish we could turn back the clock sometimes!

[raybancan]

i have to do HW on this

[MrJORGERAMOS123]

INCREDIBLE FANTASTIC I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT Congrats

[Peadarisback]

wish Tim Rice had kept the extra veruse at the end for the 'offical' london concert with Groban, Pascael and Menzal but the concert is still awsome and that song ('the arbiter') without that veruse.....

[TheSweatdrop]

@Peadarisback Speaking Of Which: " As You Settle Down Behind Your Pawns, Power Passes To Me, You May Play Like Fischer, Capablanca, Tal Combined I Don't Mind Please Feel Free. They All Thought They Were The Big Fromage, But They Don't Have My Clout, I Control The Match, I Start It, I Can Call It Off. Kasparov Found That Out.

[buenvlad]

Really, really cool!! I loved this video!!!

[Childofthekorns]

This is a pretty great and entertaining video, especially by the factor that it seems to have been made in the early-mid 90's. Specifically what year was it?

p.s. I <3 Chess: The Musical.

[jacobk2]

To me it looks like it could have been filmed in the mid/late 80s.

[YoungConstant]

You got your tricks, good for you. This song is badass, just like the Arbiter.

[Peadarisback]

*lifts guy up*

Guy: who are you?!

Arbitor: I'm the Arbitor....!

*music starts*

lol that's brilliant

[Catachrest]

I cannot believe how hilariously awesome this is. You have totally made my week!!!! BTW there was a whole verse in there I'd never heard before!

[TheLyricallySpeaking]

I still find this hilarious

[Hplunkett1]

PERFECT! well done!

[jmck1962]

I just want to say I LOVE IT !!!

[mustangsallyidaho]

You did an awesome job on this - way to go!

[MeAndMyRC]

2 thumbs up!!

[mrhibob]

GO CHESS!

[moonlight293]

Lol, nice one XD

[Kaylore]

This is hilariously awesome and true to the 80'sness that is Chess! lol

[ShiveCanber]

I certainly remember this song from back in 1985 where I was lucky enough to get a copy of it. I think it was written by Bjorn and Benny from Abba who had earlier success in Chess with Murray Head and Barbara Dickson/Elaine Paige.

[Raggare90]

U gotta love the 80's man :D

the clothes, music.. and the haircuts!! my god, times have changed

[spiderboenz]

umm...the only thing that made Chess good was how bad of a musical it was

[DerSoulstealer]

Hehe, awesome video. I love that song.

And Chess is freakin' awesome. :)

[jvd897]

best video ever!! when was this recorded??

[jcasino]

This was  done back in 89 for a school project.

[Mattbrain]

Nice. Nice.

[becster1964]

This is really impressive-you did a great job!

[ruthejp13]

NO WAY!!! What are you doing now for a profession?

[superchipmunkgirl]

That's flippin' awesome!!! I LOVE Chess!!! It's like the best musical. ^^

[r1dethemetr0]

I love this. I'm in Chess the musical right now, but this is cute.

[Crystal0418]

I love this song!

[valkyrie1v]

This is fabulous...love it!

[strictlybecca]

Yes! Chess the musical freakin pwns ALL!

[Mattbrain]

The British version anyway. The American version sucks. It's like a rock opera spliced with a traditional book musical.

[Kheperu]

Oh.. the old days... the Library of Doom... when we had time to be creative... I miss those days dearly. Thanks for reminding me that we once had dreams. It's not too late. Can't believe how many people have watched it, though! -B

[Annomaniac]

Wow. Great video, with one of my most famous songs ! Grrreat ! :)

[jenie212]

The hairdos are the greatest .. LOL

[ABBACHRISTIANS]

[fatgirlgrobie]

the music sounds sooo '80's and so are the hairdos

[fatgirlgrobie]

tee hee

[shoepixie]

This has got to be one of the most entertaining viddies I'v seen in a LONG time. I didn't know that anyone else knew this musical, much less would go throgh the time and trouble to make a surprisingly well-staged video for it! You folks really made my day!
