[edo179az]

原曲じゃなくても金麦のCMで流れてて、嬉しく感じたのは私だけ­じゃないはずww

[shihobo]

@edo179az

まさしく！！！

あのCMを見て、聞いて、いつも、この曲を歌っていたら、妻に『­何それ？』って言われてYou tubeのこの映像を見せたら本当に有った曲なんだってようやく­納得してもらえました。

[ma333wall]

高橋さんのドラム最高です

３０年後また聞きたい・・・素晴らしい

８０年代初め、あの頃は楽しくていい音楽がたくさんあったと思う­。

[jay2008dl]

@unagocchin76 im chinese and i lov their music

[4849lucky]

@jay2008dl  Hi there, you might also enjoy listening to "Tighten Up" by Jamiroquai. I like both versions by YMO and J'QUAI. Jay Kay has amazing voice and scatting is funky! YouTube jamiroquai - tighten up (live at taratata)

[jonathannotebook]

This is art music

[deepbluemetalJP]

Hurry up the bass, papa-san!!

[hackmiker]

Here we go again!

[originallove911]

ベース音、最高！

[ZenPunk]

fucking hilarious.

[jaemel1]

The singing is kinda freaky sounding, but the music is "right on"!

[masaruuk]

最高ですね。

小林克也最高。

リアリィ！！

[kopciowaty]

SKA!!!!

[AstralwerksTV]

YMO is great! I bet you've never heard of irish Japanese Popstars though! See their US tour video on our page!

[SteveResin]

Amazing stuff. wtf has happened to music

[kraftverk2011]

この乾いたスネアの音色、slingerland のですよね。いいなー。

ユキヒロらしいユキヒロの生ドラム、さいこーなグルーブ感ですね­。

[cb919hone]

りありー

[RawbThatPunk]

dammit not the Tighten Up i'm expecting.

[Jagged85]

"Japanese gentleman stand up please" sounds a lot like "the real Slim Shady please stand up"... Was Eminem listening to some YMO when he wrote "The Real Slim Shady"?

[TrickyMicky71]

Great cover of the original Archie Bell track

[cuntsgab]

japanese gentleman stand up please.

[birdland510]

これ絶対に、細野さんの選曲だねぇ。。。

ランニングのベースライン、カッコええぇ。。。。

スタンド・アップ・プリーズ!!

わはは～。。。。チョベリグ!!

[gingin1106]

ジャパニーズナッバーワンスタンドアッププリーズ....

大平首相の頃でいたよね？？

懐かしい...。

リアルで聴いてた頃です。

[russolo]

I always wonder who's provided the talking over, is it Takahashi ?

[Boluruch]

japon, japon, asia, africa, america, oceania, mundo, musica, musica, musica, musica, mas musica, mas musica.

NUNCA ARMAS, NUNCA GUERRA, SIEMPRE MUSICA.

AMOR Y PAZ

[Hildy2E]

One of the best covers I ever heard!!

[RyuishiGoto]

The Incredible Beat Box Band does a cover of YMO's version wherein (of course) all the music is done vocally. Fun and worth seeking out.

[XomB]

is there a version without them talking over the top. it ruins it somewhat :(

[ParadisePete]

@XomB

The "talking over it" is part of the song. Search for Archie Bell and the Drells. They did the original version.

[kiely]

@XomB

yep, there are no "real" versions with out talking over it ... that is what the music was made for.

[cjjaxxon]

OOohhhhh!! This was the version that Dr.Demento use to play. I loved this song when I first heard it!!

[ElCid48]

Love it!

[movingshadow1]

[tsubureanman]

じわじわクセになる！

この高いボーカルは誰が出してるんだろう？

[koitaro]

@tsubureanman 小林克也さんですよー。途中の「No! No!」は伊武雅刀さんですね。スネークマン・ショーの二人です­。

[rufus317]

@sewitt60 Did you see the episode of Soul Train when YMO was on there. They couldn't find the manager because he was giggin with the Soul Train Dancers(funny). They also performed "Computer Games aka Firecracker" on that episode.

[Rockvoxxx]

@rufus317 I remember that, HIGH-LARIOUS!

[mindsearrecords]

perhaps the best song by this band

[Margatroid]
