Bertie Higgins - Key Largo

[MarkFFHH]

Drug runnning is so romantic

[californiagurl35]

It's a wonder he can sing so beautifully since he smokes those god damn cigarettes....

[dndmatt]

Good lord this song is 30 years old...I heard it on an 80s hits infomercial lol

[JennTrika]

WHY IS EVERYBODY IN A FUCKIN CAPS LOCK????

[c230mb2003]

I am moving to the keys!

[OFFENDERRUEB]

0:11 HE NIGGER LIPS THE SHIT OUT OF THAT CIGARETTE !! LOOKS LIKE HE COULD SUCK A GOLF BALL THRU A GARDEN HOSE !!

[SaltedWater1]

omg i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bilvis48]

THE 'SMOKING' INTRO IS ALWAYS KEY IN A GOOD VIDEO!!

[log05mus]

This takes me back to the days of good music, the warm weather of Florida....all when I was young and able to do things, free of responsibilties....Oh, this song reminded me of you and the warmth of your friendship......always.

[gatito4810]

linda cancion

[coontony1]

love this song

[qdog568]

Michael McDonald wanna be.

[ojicreewarcry]

the clothes,the smoke and that beard....awesome cheese.

[deeray41]

This video is where the idea for Miami Vice came from....

[StyreneAddict]

cool threads hahahahahaha

[TheITALIANJRZYGUYNNJ]

ROFL!!

[Nonyabiznus]

Patty Rodilosso was really hot, but what the heck is up with her foot at 1:06 ?!

[innoelement]

@Nonyabiznus how did you pic that lol

[DarioPreister]

@Nonyabiznus OMG! I cant stop rewinding it and laughing!

[RabidNozomi]

I like this song, but it's so corny. I didn't think it could get any more corny until I watched this video.

[OreoTime1]

@bertiehiggins So sorry u lost your beautiful chain. I also thought it was very nice. I truly hope u find it again.

[tninbredretard]

IS THIS A PORNO?

[mrk70tut]

i wish for one day i could relive 1982 again. good memories

[SEHANO]

If Billy Mays joined the cast of Miami Vice.....

[DrRonPaul]

@SEHANO lol

[qdog568]

@SEHANO LMAO!!

[CecyliaUSA]

I'm glad to hear that you can connect to something from your past. Enjoy!

[flatscreen29]

what a gorgeous man! I would love to be romantic with him in Key Largo...

[CecyliaUSA]

@flatscreen29 me too :)

[ShanghaiJill]

I lived in FL, circa 1980 and remember those floral rayon shirts.

What great times those were!

[memphistenn77]

COOL TUNE!!!!!!!

[gluserty]

Such a worthy sensitive song; feelings are personal, and always worthy.

[agavegrove]

RIP Bogie. There's not an actor today that can match you.

[mlwise24]

Bertie,

I wrote you about a year ago. I hope you are doing well. You have touched so many lives with this song and I am one. I hope you have found love again my friend.

Thank you

[keith8880]

i use to sail away to key largo key largo, but then i took an arrow to knee

[shaniafaniscam]

I fell in love to some beautiful music. ooh the memories

[vap57]

Remember when smoking was sexy?

[ShanghaiJill]

@vap57

Yes, I do and Bertie totally carries it off.

[ultraroadmap]

Oh Bertie Bertie I love this song but not quite as much as you love to be on camera.

[beary1961]

We love the actin' wonderful co-star

[xxmickeyzeroxx]

There is zero chemistry between them. They should have casted someone else. This is painful to watch. She is afraid of Bertie. 2:47 makes me cringe. lol

[ShanghaiJill]

@xxmickeyzeroxx

They actually look too much alike.

[tone379]

@xxmickeyzeroxx My thoughts exactly!!! couldn't have said it better,i like the song,but;dang! i feel bad for her

[GengarsEvilSpirit]

good times



[tiggz1977]

And that's how you take a smoke and still have a wonderful voice LOL

[THEATREofPAIN270]

59 people have never sailed away to Key Largo. Very nice mellow song, Thanks for the post

[flipfloplogic]

His name is BERTIE!!!!  Epic fail!

[Nonyabiznus]

@flipfloplogic Actually his given name is "Elbert"........

[Bluebonnett52]

LOL!!!

Nice tune.  HORRIBLE VIDEO!

[kris6694]

some of the worst acting, ever..  must have been a failed attempt to make it on '82s MTV.

[STEPcoach]

@kris6694 Dude! that WAS the 80s! We really ran, smiled, and acted that badly ... all of us. Watch the 80s TV shows.

[DeathToLiberalism]

58 people got dumped before they could get to Key Largo.

[picoharmotimpo]

Lovely song and a romantic video.

[bluemoon381]

One of my favourite songs! In Austria still very popular and often played on the radio!

[jityr2]

At first I thought he was saying "Tequila go".

[4paula73]

a very sexy man =)

[tall32guy]

I always thought this song was cheesy, and never thought much about it. I didn't realize, however, that Bertie was such a handsome hunk! LOL :):)

[jmcsetz]

Even for the 80s, this video is horrific. You can tell that towards the end, the girl in the video realized that "Bertie" was gay.

[cowhanson]

If only he had used Cheryl Ladd in the video......oh well

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@cowhanson ....Screw Cheryl Ladd! Patty was waaay hotter and still is :- )....."Jagar"

[jtripper261]

Yo what are they moving on at 1:48?? Hes obviously moving backwards on something but it never shows what it is, mystical carriage of doom??

[cowboybudman]

my goodness that lady is soooo hott

[7466309change]

he sings as if really in love. if just only awhile. wow so great to feel.

[eddiefogarty26]

beautiful song.

[cb2k761]

bertie higgins had a huge cock and wasnt afraid to use it

[ohannahdad]

@cb2k761 The world is a better place now that you have shared this information. Obviously I would be inclined to ask how you are aware of this assesment of Bertie Higgins anatomy;....but I am afraid of what the response might be. However it was that you discovered this about Bertie;.. I hope it was good for you. If what you say is true.......everything was already good for him!!

[TheWheelofLife100]

Good song,I'm not sure about the video!

[whatupworld10]

Your heart is as beautiful as your voice! Thanks for sharing!

Don't forget to "keep moving" on those long flights to China!

Best regards, TEX

[l1nkh0gthr0b]

Bogie was the best! And nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

[Merge2323]

Some songs stand the test of time,

this one definitely does.

[jakalope72]

god how gay is this video, fuckn haaaalarious!

[solitaryman1424]

Oh, one other thing, the babes, one word HOT.

[solitaryman1424]

Notice, a real voice?

[beavismarket]

THAT CIGARETTE

[thecarebearhideaway]

When I hear this one, it kind of takes me back to days of spending time visiting my grandma's house and watching Casablanca with her on a Saturday afternoon as a young girl and also of long summer nights out at the river running free with my friends. It is funny how a song can evoke so many memories, both seperate but both attached to the same song. :-) This has always been a favorite of mine. This is when songs had stories behind them that meant something to the heart and soul. I miss it ! :-(

[KBOH0301]

Great, great song; thank you Bertie!

[alienhuman]

I'm sure he is still playing Holiday Inns lounges around Florida.

[TheWheels777]

used to hear this one in the dentist office in 2nd grade, 1982. I think it sparked my interest in geography.

[sophie1065]

a very beautiful song by a talented man

[canciom]

fumante de merda

[hybridatom]

Just reminds me of my childhood and vacations to Miami in the late 70's and early 80's.

[tmerryweather]

My wedding song from August of 1985.............. The marriage didn't last and neither did Bertie Higgins........... Still; a beautiful song!!!! Love the references to the mirrors and razor blades above. I brought the rolled up dollar bill............ lol

[bethmariew]

this song is like a tranquillier shot. or a turnequet.

[aershamus]

that girl is gorgeous-classic Irish perhaps? sure looks it!

[HachiZenki]

Who needs the mirror and razor? Just break out the gold coke spoon yap cheap bastard.

[TheEarlymtv]

i love bob segar..

[tashawn777]

@TheEarlymtv um, it's Bertie Higgins....listed at the top of the video :-)

[FastPonyGT]

Early 80's in SoFla. The only thing missin' is the Heineken, razor blade and mirror.

[ecdesigns1]

great song from back in the day.........cigarette while making a video ???? move that to the white trash folder !

[taylorpresley1]

@ecdesigns1 Why don't you fly yourself to the moon and stay there? You're a self-righteous pharisee. I sure there are no skeletons in your closet. 

[dninkovic]

I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis

[fbeddoes]

yes he met Miss Galore of James BOnd fame every night.

[crashkilldamage]

you have to admit though...the guy must have gotten laid every night for like years after his shows singing this song.

[crashkilldamage]

hair,beard,boat ,chick, white suit, gold chain,....all hillarious !!

[MrMikeb1958]

55 people have already sailed but instead to Key Largo, they sailed to Africa.

[YankeeJet24]

The Most Interesting Man in the World...30 years ago!

[Ronbo710]

This was a GREAT song !! You have to remember the '80's were a much more innocent time in music. People were NOT as cynical as they are today. BRAVO BERTIE!! 

[lisamaria1972]

LOL@ the video

[yancey166]

This reminds me of what I let go, may have a chance to get it back, I pray. My sole mate.

[starr522]

The Keys have a feel of their own. If you have been there, then you know what I' m talking about. This song was an encompass of several things. a beautiful woman, clear water, hot sun, fast boats, sand and sex. Yep, just like the keys on any given day.

[rialate]

Hair, beard, boat, chick=Fabulous!

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

.... Her name was Patricia Rodilosso back in 1982 when the video came out. She goes by a different name today (Patty Wolfe) And fyi, she is just as beautiful now, if not more than she was back in 1982. She was once an assistant producer for ABC Sports after graduating from college...."Jagar"

[defenderoFreedom]

@ausfuhrpramienjagar

Wow thanks! Good 2 know! She's someone I would like to meet.. damn she's cutie! Yeah you might have told me a few weeks back sorry bout that. But now I know thanks!

Hopefully she's single! LOL She almost looks like my ex

[defenderoFreedom]

@ausfuhrpramienjagar

thank you "Jagar"

[defenderoFreedom]

can someone tell me who the girl in this video it? much thanks...

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@defenderoFreedom ... I told you a couple of weeks ago didn't I?......."Jagar"

[biffula]

Sweet Boston Whaler he's driving. Oh, and this song sucked back when it came out.

[DIJV79]

I drink beer to this song.

[lakotamaiden76]

@DIJV79 me too lol how funny!!

[Shilohtime]

Thanks Barbara for all the memories. Wished it would have worked.

[kyteddy1]

Wonderful video that takes me way back when i remembered dancing to it when it was a new song at the time....Here's lookin at YOU kid :-)

[mfatimazora]

This is such a great song!!!

[ohtxin]

@mfatimazora I agree 100%.

[7718whitsons]

hey @ me

if your 15 keep away from uncle bertie at thanksgiving. He might ask to give you extra gravy, SAY NO!!!!

or wind up crying in the shower later that evening

who hurt bertie, who hurt you??

[Sunsetstripfan]

@7718whitsons Im 15, so it's not only "old people".listening to this song. Im sure she was more than happy to be in the video and the beard ages him, no doubt, without it he would have looked 10 years younger. Beautiful song!

[7718whitsons]

$6000 on therapy, $150 on dry cleaning, $10000 on booze to forget and the eventually surgery to repair whats left of her liver

memories of working with Mr Higgins on that "molesting" video=priceless

and get over yourselves mr and ms uptight, smile a bit

[10001cf]

This is the first song/video I remember seeing/hearing on VH1 when it was first getting started. Only I remember more scenes of the speedboat and not so much of the two people shown. Was there another video to this song when it first came out?

[10001cf]

@ohtxin  ?????

[10001cf]

@ohtxin What the h*ll does that have to do with my comment asking about the original video being discussed here? I was just saying I thought I remembered a somewhat different video back then and was wondering if there had been another one originally. (Sheesh...)

[EricSmiles]

Ahh. I just wanted to hear the song. Cold, wrapped up in blankets, having some tea. The video made me laugh so hard! Wow. That's 80's and that's us. The woman is staggering to look at. Goodness. She is a treat. THIS is a good video. Nothing is what you expect it to be. I'm happy to have seen it. Thanks for that.

[MichalesRequiem]

It's a video good God FICTION get over yourselves and your gutter minds.

[RavensRequiem]

It is a video for goodness sakes! So what if she looked kinda young? He was and still is hot! so she was one lucky girl to be in this.

[orlandobabe]

"We had it all, just like Boogie and Becall, here's looking at you kid" I love that part of the song.

[EricSmiles]

@orlandobabe Lol. Boogie and Becall. Hahahaha. Love it! Too funny! :-)

[DIJV79]

Ohh! I drink beer to this song.

[7718whitsons]

great looking couple? my god looks like this creepy old disco deck hand picked that girl up at a high school parking lot. She is obviously creeped out being in the video with old mackerel breath steaming up her hair.

Enough of you old people, this song is terrible at best

But I love this song!! yuckkk

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@7718whitsons ...You poor thing. Sounds as if you are a little jealous that Bertie had a beautiful woman in his video (yes, she is in her early 20's here, not high school) ......"Jagar"

[noalittleaboutlot]

@7718whitsons Your comment is hysterical. I agree she looks 17 or 18 a most. the the "steaming up her hair" bit. : )

[lindaloo77]

Great video for that time. He looks a lot older than she but still a great looking couple and a great song.

[rubensmum]

@pilifallon, thats so sad, :( but you found your true love in life, take careXX

[mariancolts]

Music today is just AWFUL compared to the 60's, 70's & 80's!

[constantrvlr]

Whoa.....peple in the 70s got laid...alot!!!

[Jazzsyc]

what a sad story. God bless you

[defenderoFreedom]

whos that girl????

[koeye1]

Some one made a comment about Bertie smoking the cigarette at the beginning of the song. Obviuosly a young person. There is a reason for that. The cigarette was signature Humphrey Bogart. You always! saw Boggie smoking.

[7718whitsons]

I wasnt alive during the shooting of this mess

but if I was I would put out the cigarette he found on the ground with a 2*4 to the head. picking dirt and bits of brain matter out of the slop of hair on his head

but I love this song!!!

[gsusfreak272002]

when I was a kid growing up in San francisco, ca they would play this song as a tribute to the old films like casablanca and such. I think they used it to kill time in between tv shows. Still a great song.

[GWGarrisonJr]

Damn auto correct! Meant to say "sooooo damn cheesy!

[GWGarrisonJr]

Thank is a good song, brings forward some good memories, but LMAO that video belongs on an extra large pizza, it's sloop damn chees

[keystone49]

Awsome song! Thanks for posting!

[miltonastray99]

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES WHEN THE SONG CAME OUT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE KEYS FIVE TIMES, I LOVE THEM BUT EACH TIME IT IS MORE AND MORE DEVELOPPED, ESPECIALLY KEY WEST. GREAT MEMORIES OF THE CALYPSO AND REGGAE CLUBS AND PARTYING LATE.

[gypsypowersmall]

love it

[VivsJamie]

Brings back so many GOOD memories when I was living in the Keys in the 80's and all was well. Now I'm going to be homeless next week...i don't drink or do drugs or gamble just can't find a job. My family are all dead but I hear this song and it takes me back and gives me some hope.

[wookisuki]

Plilfallon , I would say he already knew he was going to die, and didnt tell you ! maybe he died before he could tell you and wanted to relive a great love with you again before he did die. but you both proved your Family wrong and had and took back 3 magical weeks ! Been there !

[thoughtestpunk]

51 dislikes for the cigarette.

[70sful]

this is old time i miss them ray2hare

[semkobenko]

wonderfully done

[FastPonyGT]

This certainly looks like a promo featuring, "Weekends at Bertie's" with unlimited margaritas and clams of the bearded variety.

[MANKATO311]

This particular piece is related to the baroque period that provides not only a whimsical side but also a subliminal message,masked in an enigma.

[calvarado1520]

kick ass song!!!!!!!!!

[plilfallon]

I was in love and married my high school love well it came apart because of family, Then about 40 years my love sends me this song and tells me he still loves me and wants to marry me again. I say yes and we we were to be married next month. The only thing is he pass away yesterday after I had him my arms for 3 weeks. Now I just hear the song and fell the pain. All I can say if you fine that love hold on with all you have

[cabmandu]

@plilfallon

I'd hope my widow at lease waits a few days to post comments on youtube.

[semkobenko]

@plilfallon thanks for the good advice.

[pmoskoso]

@plilfallon lovely

[bkavery78]

@plilfallon May God be with you now and always, Love like that comes once in a lifetime!!!!

[andlisasa3]

@plilfallon Sure, sure.

[krpelkey]

@plilfallon never ever let go

[ohtxin]

@krpelkey FOR SURE!

[ohtxin]

@plilfallon You were so fortunate to have had such a love if only for a short while in the end. My heart goes out to you and anyone else who has gone through this.

[SmurfDaddy69]

@plilfallon thats So Sad & Ya Know It Always Seems to happen to those Who REALLY DO & TRULY HAVE Loved each All Along Seem Type of thing happened to me So I know exactly where your coming from It's just NOT Any Fun :(

[joycloud]

@plilfallon I'll think about this story ever time I hear this song, for the rest of my life.

[discoAL]

@plilfallon i was gonna comment on how breezy and cheezy the song was, cause i was feeling cheezy and upbeat. but your personal tradegy floored my joy ..and even though i cant stop laughing right now, my heart goes out to you..what a horrible thing to post. good GOD lady...

[ohtxin]

PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH TO THE INDIVIDUAL. FOR SOME OF US IT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES OF THE OLD DAYS OF WHAT IT USED TOB OR COULD HAVE BEEN. ENJOY IT OR DON'T WATCH & LISTEN TO IT.

[redryan20000]

@ohtxin lol ur 60 and using caps locks

[ohtxin]

@redryan20000 No SWEETIE, I'm not 60, but THANKS anyway. So, tell me, regardless if I use UPPER CASE or not, do you at least like this song?

[NYChica23]

@ohtxin Agreed...let's appreciate the fact that this song brings memories for some people and not complain ♥♥

[ohtxin]

@NYChica23 Thank you!



[remyboy86]

Sploshhhhhhhh just wanked into me brothers sock

[MyJunior1975]

Whenever I see this video now, the first thing that comes to my mind is: "I don't drink alcohol, but when I do I prefer the taste of Dos Equis", LMAO!!!

[dasmackman]

they sure dont show the 100% humidity down there lol:)

[BrielleBug]

cheezy video,but it takes me back and i miss being inlove like that with butterflies and all

[marcuserektus]

Reaganomics, cocaine, Miami Vice...what more could one ask for?
