  • I hadn't heard this for years until Chris Evans played it on his Radio2 breakfast show a couple of days ago. Watching the video brings back my youth. All todays schoolgirls should be doing this then we wouldn't have such a 'fat problem' in the UK.

  • i wonder if the girls in the video are still doing the double dutch ,,,,,,,

  • I love this song. This song should be released again

  • summat a bit more than wonderful about it..

  • Malcolm McClaren. The English Andy Warhol. RIP.

  • is this song addictive or what? love it

  • Love this!!! Gr8 mmrs when this first came out.

  • There is music, and there is music with respect - this is the latter

  • my parents had this on 12inch had i would hear it lying in my bed as a 7 year old when they would come bk from the pub this is the tune they would put on at 3am when everyone was pissed but it never stopped them trying to do the dance for which i would sneak down and watch them all through the stairs simpler times

  • that's when Sistas was thinner. i miss those days.

  • @orlanduce Absolutely, the girls are so beautiful and happy.

  • This song (and video) is incredible...but why is Malcolm M. wearing that judo outfit?

  • This is some of the best ropeskipping i've seen

  • Can't believe dat was back in 1983, the year I left school. . . . . .

  • Malcom Mclaren, Trevor Horn and the Art Of Noise creating a new Rock n' Roll in 1982

  • i remember seeing this music when i was kid.

  • awsome bass and great tune

  • Great song.

    RIP Malcolm McLaren - pure genius!

  • Colegios femeninos

  • the BEST - I used to do this as a kid in the playground (on a simpler basis tho!!)

  • If he was to film this video in todays p.c world he would be accused of being a perve, sad.

  • @Time71Team They wouldn't let him film it in PC world, probably damage their computers!

  • @Bashimillar Lol, good one.

  • Fresh!!

  • Damn straight. Enjoy the music for what it is and keep your vile opinions to yourselves.

  • This is stunning. I have simply wanted to search for this video, and the first comments I read aren't about Malcolm McLaren, or 80's music, or even about this video....it's about race and religion - how did that happen??? Get a grip!!!!!!!

  • SUPERB song - I still play this at my DJ set

  • old tune takes me bk

  • stuff my old boots this is still bangingly good

  • Nowadays it's all the msg that's in the food. I try to avoid it if I can!

  • This is fucking fantastic.....takes me back to my childhood. Girls were skipping rope, guys were skateboarding or BMXing....kids were being active instead of sitting on their asses on their Xboxes and Facebook or out causing trouble like kids these days. Bring back the 80s!!

  • @twgfEl10 ...sigh...EXACTLY. Well said :)

  • @twgfEl10 too true

  • @twgfEl10 apparently your generation had an acid tongue, hypocrite.

  • This song is cool . I thought Malcolm McLaren was more into Punk rock and anarchist music?

  • @ELPaso1990TX This was pretty radical at the time. Hip-hop wasn't that big in UK and this was against a lot of the mainstream.

  • malcom mclarren .... way ahead ov his time .... brought hip hop to london .... god bless u son !!!!!!

  • ITS A SWINDLE!

  • Judging by his attire Malcolm Mclaren was a Jedi. So he didn't die, he became one with The Force

  • Ali at 2:35?!!?

  • Someone here said something about everyone not being overweight. It's because this is before liberals took Physical Education out of the schools and made everyone weak and lazy so that they could enslave them later in the future. You think I'm kidding. A bunch of idiots elected a marxist with hitler-esque tendencies as our president . Old people are too expensive to care for they get the pain pill and not the operation. bye bye grandma.

  • @DominusLuna cont> Old people are too expensive to care for they get the pain pill and not the operation. and what about your Grandma. Is it ok if she is denied an operation because it will only extend her life by 2 years? That is obama-hitler-care.

  • @DominusLuna the reality is that rationing exists. the difference between socialized medicine and for profit healthcare is that one of them cares more about making money than serving the needs of the people. in most countries with UHC, the life or death decisions are made by DOCTORS, not some fictional gov't death panels. obama is not hitler, you right wing lunatic, if anything, he's a centrist. obamacare offers no public option, so it really is toothless.

  • Also eins ist schon sicher und mit meinen Mädchen besprochen bis zum nächsten Sommer werden wir das auch üben und lernen!!!!! Wir freuen uns schon nur noch die Taue kaufen!!!!!!

  • 1983 was a brilliant year for music

  • the best skippin' that i ever saw in 83...

    and infact since!!!

  • 3:27 AWESOME. My God those girls look fantastic

  • Defo from the 80's, not one pregnant burger munching over weight 16 year old heffer to be seen anywhere, just gorgeous gals! Sad times missed by all!

  • Comment removed

  • @KillTheBlairs It is sad that we have created a culture of such excess, that even the poor people are fat.

  • @Warthogfan Actually, it's the generation including those in the video that have been responsible for this.

  • @KillTheBlairs oh shut the fuck up

  • @sparkey989 its called an opinion based on factual history, NOT SO bright sparkey!

  • These gorgeous girls show up the sad minority youth of todays Britain. RIP Malcolm, you make the X Factor look so amateurish and cardboard cut out !

  • Superb!!

  • 1:15 shouldn't that say "Coming Out Soon - Ricky Martin"

  • blast from my past. ah happy days...simple good clean fun. now its stabbing and shooting.

  • @byt4byt Shi.. Your right.

  • @byt4byt

    Check out Malcolm's grave in Highgate cemetery ;Headstone says 'Malcolm was here' ......funny guy , RIP

  • Where Paul Simon stole Graceland from.

  • WOW been decades since i heard this CLASSIC!!

  • what a great song, the 80's was a great era for music

  • I think the girl at 1:23 is quite pretty

  • No X factor rubbish back in them days kids. Just pure talent.....

  • @chandlerbingbong Spot on!!!

  • This is great, and Double double dutch from Dope Smugglaz is even better :D

  • the song is awesome. whether or not malcolm thought double dutch was going to become an american national phenomenon we'll never know. but i tell you what... that girl Diane in the red shorts and shirt sure was cute. i wonder whatever happened to her. i hope most of the girls in this video went on to become successful in whatever they did in life.

  • a real classy song from the 80s.  these are my girls. so look elsewhere motherfucker!

  • used to get an embarrassing boner back then whenever this song came up on TV.. been looking for it on you tube for close to 3 years now.

    47 people are depressed and sad people.

  • omg this takes me back lol

  • Fuck Simon Cowel. Malcolm McClarren wipes the floor with him.

    RIP Malcolm McLaren, a true legend!

  • @VANHELSING433 Even dead Malcolm still has 100 times more personality than Simon Cowel.

  • @VANHELSING433 THERES DEFFO 47  PRICKS ABOUT

  • Agreed

    

  • @VANHELSING433 Why the comparison out of interest? I might be out of the pop culture loop on this one.

  • @Selomo1967 I remember! There was a lot of music coming from Africa at the time. The guys who did "Puleng" were called Boyoyo Boys. They also played with Ladysmith Black Mombazo and later with Paul Simon. They are also featured in Paul Simon's "Graceland" album prominently.

  • Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, The Gauner of the police officer some called me

  • Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, I love a good cat

  • Why is he dressed as a jedi knight?Great song.

  • dj fresh gold dust girlies nawwwwww

  • Now THIS is a flashback! Malcolm McLaren was such a groundbreaker. This album has embedded tracks of VERY EARLY rap radio broadcasts from NYC.

  • @widswins Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, I love a good cat

  • Great times, great people.

  • Die Mädchen sind verdammt gut.Mein Kollege kann (Seilspringe)angeblich.....

    bei duple dutch würde er wohl auf seine grosse Klappe fallen.klein,dick,dumm

  • @udkrause Grüße Fräulein, Sturm-Verbot-Führer, I've heard, Yall had the same problem with Malcolm McLaren, Joel Zimmerman, trembling, and regardless of the movie makes my epiditimos stop range of 300 degrees

  • This is cool but some of the comments are hilarious and just plain bizarre!

  • Damn! now thats wat u call double dutch! reminds me of my mom and aunty's old tape of them from the 70s i saw

  • Just, Damn!

    

  • Great song to listen to and watch. Wow -Double Dutch. Reminds me of the times I used to travel to the Crenshaw  district when I lived in L.A. . Always activity in Crenshaw.

  • cool

    

  • The pedophile comments are misplaced. Watch his Buffalo Girls and Soweto videos alongside this one. It's about street culture of a certain time in the world. (Ok, granted, if you watch Paris Paris you will learn he had a thing for the black girls...)

  • The world of double dutch jump rope is gone...this is an archive piece now

  • @cbmccarthy I have not seen girls play double dutch in ten years.......

  • Something standing in my pants.

  • banged up in solitary aged 16 in 83 cardiff nick....ahh long hot summer ;-)

    This video tho... is the "One" that brought it to us all!

  • Well it was summer 1983, find Donna Summer,State Of Independance, Waka Waka sucked IMNO.

  • pause @ 0:30 ...mmmmmmmmmmm i like dat lol

  • I haven't read any comments so sorry if this has been said but what kind of influences does this song have? Like, I know it's african and african countries are hugely musical anyway but what kind of area would you hear these really happy kind of celebratory dances (if there are any particularly)?

  • clerty getulena fi bainsford in falkirk come in ya bam

  • 2.

    OMG, Dear Lady, I forget of some important matter. Do you know that in 1801 polish corps was sended to Haiti (then called Santo Domingo) against black insurgents. My ancestor, impoverished nobleman from Polish province, was one of them. He had in Poland a wife and children. At that time, Poland doesn't exist (it was shared by Germany, Austria and Russia) so Polish patriots supported Napoleon who promised to help of independence recovery. To Santo Domingo were sended

  • @slowmotionsystem

    wow! Sir, I don't even know you. I didn't send any comments to you. But to answer your question. I am an architect students. I work with kids and I have my own business. I can sing, write music and I am musically educated. Thank you.

  • You, Sir are an ignoramus and an uneducated buffoon. I know that black females are not that appalling to you, to each their own, you're entitled to love whomever you want regardless of race. But to call females of a race ugly demonstrates to me that you're a racist. Thank God that small minded people like you will no longer exist on the earth. So maybe I should educated you in understanding the human genome.

    We are all genetically related to each other.

  • Those girls are athletes, fit, healthy, and beautiful. It is really sad what video games and computers are doing to our bodies now.

  • VIVIENNE WESTWOODS FABULOUS HUSBAND.

    

  • This type of music originates from South Africa. This type of sound could be heard in places like Sophia Town, Soweto and District Six,(Townships created under the APARTHEID rule) as early as the1930's if not t earlier. The sound is still very distinct in what is now known as KWAITO music. (Google it and have a listen)This too is a type of music that comes from our townships .

    Peace out. Proudly South African :)

  • Black girls are ugly, i prefere white, beauty girls, but this song is FANTAAAASTIC!!! Reminds me good 80's. RIP Malcolm!!!

  • @religiofob black girls are ugly?? this is coming from a gay man, they are beautiful, you dick.

  • @religiofob so whut shall we cry becuz black gal r" ugly"? this wall is about music not about Races comparision

  • @religiofob you must be ugly yourself

  • @religiofob

    All of our DNA is 99.9% the same with a 1% difference. We all came from the same family, that small group of people that left Africa thousand of years ago. So you're mother, (before you're recent mother) was Scientific Eve that lived between 150,000 to 200,000 years ago, a Black Woman from Africa; the oldest and longest female genetic marker. We didn't divide into various species of humans. So just because you skin is white, doesn't makes you so superior.

  • @religiofob And if you're still hung up on race, there is no such thing as a pure race. Not now, not then. European are more closely genetically related to black Africans. Race is an ideology form within society so that one group feels superior to another and to suppress that group which is different because one group feels threaten form the other group of people.

  • @religiofob Race is nothing more than a social and economical concept to keep a group or groups from achieving the same opportunities as the other group. And for all you know, you could have black ancestry. So even though the negative comment is not mine, on behalf of the human race I do apologize for your stupidly. There's noting worng with loving your own race, but it doesn't mean to insulting another race especially females.

  • @fa11234

    No, you are wrong - races exist. Politically correct jewish propaganda lies. There are many of race differences - skeletal structure, hormone economy, metabolism and others. Tell me - human ancestors got out Africa ca 100.000 years ago. It's possible that for this long time don't evolve differences? Read about it and find on Internet ( I recommend channel ''SchellProductions'' on YT). My english isn't good for this important subject.

    PS. Why do exist races of dogs It's the same matter!

  • @religiofob

    First of all, don't compare the evolution of dog to humans. Humans selectively breed dogs for our own propose. The wolf didn't have any say on how it was going to be evolve into a dog. There can be various types of dogs, but the dog is still a dog and its ancestor will always be the wolf. We humans our more complex than dogs. We humans didn't divide into various species of humans.If that occurs we wouldn't have children.

  • @religiofob

    We humans are 99.9% identical with a 1% difference due to regional or claimant. DNA doesn't lie. DNA is the ultimate truth. There are many different types of people, and we had branch out to various parts of the world, but we're still human with a common ancestry. Unlike the dog, humans choose whom they want to mate with, whether within their race, or with anoe all you want, but genetically if you compare our DNA the difference between us humans are tiny.

  • @fa11234 I never said that may aunt didn't have European genes. For she is Haitian and Creole. We Creoles even though some of us are dark skin and some of us are light skin, we all considered our selves Creole. And also there are White Creoles that lives in Haiti. There are White French men that visit the country that falls-in-love with Haitian women. We come in various colors and we are very beautiful. Not that I'm saying White woman are not as beautiful.

  • @fa11234

    There were slavery in Europe. The English and French were the major nations that built their empire and wealth with the slave trade. If you go to Africa there isn't a country that is not colonize by Europe. And Europeans are not that pure just like Africa is not of pure race, and the Americas and every other country. Like God, said to Men: "Go forth and Multiply." No matter what skin color you are, we all set are foots in many places.

  • @religiofob Most genetic variation in human occurs within groups, not between groups.

    Even between the same ethic group or the same racial group there is discrimination. A white Sweetish person with blond heir and blue eyes would discriminate against an Italian person with black heir and brown eyes. On your You Tube channel, you say you believe in the White Race.

  • @religiofob But tell me this, if the earth had only white people on it and in various parts of the world, with subtle changes. Would you still believe in the White Race.
