The Communards - Dancing Queen

[darkiee69]

Lol Jimmy Sommerville with hair..

[gambaparproductions]

Jimmy's done better covers... I don't like this one...

[suesse1968suesse]

was für eine frisur, er hat mal haare???

[kejos]

so gay

[alltartan1]

Bring back the Old Jimmy ....

[pontello3]

fuck! sommerville with long hair is even MORE horrible!

[brotherjohn25]

What an awful rendition.

[Andronav]

fucking shit

[rees276]

This SHOULD work .... I love Jimmy, Abba and the idea of him performing this classic. But I wish it had remained in my imagination. I still love Jimmy Somerville but I think Erasure did ABBA better

[yandrsupreme]

I always felt Jimmy Somerville's falsetto was really weak. And for some reason, that's all he ever sang in. If he would sing in his regular voice, I think I'd like him alot better.

[darkiee69]

@yandrsupreme It's not falsetto, it's countertenor.

[skrikon]

i want those pants!

[william198888]

some songs you just DONT cover

[botswana9000]

Commutards

[SimonCoweI]

Mike Tyson should have used this as his ring walk music.

[ploni69almoni]

After seeing the Don't Leave Me This Way (extended), this sucks double-time. Owwwchhhh!

[olaff1101]

clown's clothes

[joebhoy182]

This may be the worst thing Ive ever seen...but in a good way

[smithtimsmith]

That guy really was a dancing queen.

[blobby1972]

with that voice if he went on x factor these days he would struggle to get to the second round .XXX

[MrCESSHA]

Why that song is gay?

[diams71480]

Le temps où Jimmy avait des cheveux! mdrrrrrrrr

[mistermanso]

An original recording of Abba, who was excellent whith communards.

[vonniej42]

FCK ME Ben Elton introducing a very young JIMMY SOMMERVILLE (singin DANCIN' QUEEN) xx

[abengyu112751]

huuu ... high pitch

[ARedLetterDayTX]

Thank you so much for posting this! I'd lost my old VHS tape ...

[maji1959]

please don`t do it in this way....anymore

[IMWAY26C4U]

horrible voice but they had some catchy songs.

[Euadam]

WOW a lot of homophobes posting on here....hows the 1950s?

[ThePiglet46]

Can't really go wrong... Abba and The Communards... perfect!!

[jobber25v]

sad poof doing a abba song hes shit dirty arse bandit

[sharona666]

It's a live performance, which is why it's not perfect, and which is what makes it great. As for the choice of song, it's satire; he's singing about a boy (as in "see that boy"), the dancing "queen".

[jerrymdz]

Dancing Drag Queen 1988

[Fleshcucumber1]

omg if I was gay I would be sooo jealous...nobody could "outgay" this guy...this song should've got the grammy for best song

[piglomiglit]

funny. He has a great voice anyway.

[MicMogen]

@piglomiglit -- and how is it he has a great voice ?. . . singing off key (flat) and an inability to enunciate vowels (nasal) sounds. No projection. The only reason there's a Communard is - well he's a flaming queen !!! Wouldn't stand up to pop if it weren't the icon of a culture.

[a19patrol]

Just about sums up what has went wrong in society!

[Gremio16]

@a19patrol Just outstanding English there, especially when complaining about the wrongs of society. Seems education, or lack thereof was your problem. Not quite sure how a questionable song choice/outfit is what has gone wrong in society.

[a19patrol]

Just about sums up what has went wrong in society!

[jimraw1]

Only Jimmy Sommerville could get away with doing a performance of Dancing Queen - talk about irony!

[fortheloveoftunes]

ABBA and Eurovision Song Contest makes every gay happy! .-)

[QueerSwede1]

ramped homophobia as usual. Nothing compares to ABBA of course, but this is great!

[bombaclaat]

gay ass

[kavorka75]

I want to switch it off, but it is horribly compelling. Was this live?

[birdman404]

good effort!!

[newall7]

BOTTY BOY

[LindaLolaLove]

OMG !!

[artoir123]

Luv Jimmy, but what in the hell was he thinking! LOL

[viperchu]

i like the jimmy somerville and abba songs, but separately.

[verkstadsgatan]

No, Ive been thinking.. What the HELL gave Jimmy the right to abuse this great song?!!!

Beeing from Sweden, Im really offended!!

[verkstadsgatan]

that was ehh..sort of arty..I guess..

[PyrozPlayground]

Apparently mich's subconscious mind wants to have a fantasy... 0_o

[Opiate1969]

NO WAY DUDE!

Not even with a hockeyfrilla.....

[Rapist4u]

What a FAG

[Homoholic]

This is PATHETIC! TOTAL SHIT! It Somerville should be banned from recording music. His squeaky high-pitched voice hurts my ears.

[GadJitMan]

OMG DO THE ELBOW DANCE hahahahaha, I can't breath hahaha

[eightiesfan]

Epic Fail.

[roojunk]

No way. He doesn't have the chops for this song.

[michiet1]

that homosexual is fool!

ese homosexual es un tonto. jajaja

[josielpontocom]

Diese Schwul ist dumm! (german)

Este viadinho é um babaca! (Brazilian Portuguese)

[superstubes]

mich;

you are the "fool".

[michiet1]

you´re a gay!

an excited homosexual!

do you want a penis? jajajaja

[superstubes]

@michiet1

No thanks ,not yours anyway - i dont want a chipolata!!!!! 

hahahahajajajajaja

[superstubes]

@michiet1

i see you like watching "Mister Gay World"!!!!!! Looks like YOU are the "excited homosexual".

[johnwhitelightening]

there is a good rap version of this song where the chorus is rapped,does any1 know by whom it was performed by???not able to find it

[ticket88]

Well, I think what sold Jimmy Somerville's act in Bronski Beat and Communards was the voice paired with Jimmy's butch look. It just doesn't work with this queer/glam style though.

[chandlerbrujo]

kajagoogoo hair

[chandlerbrujo]

shit

[soundseeker63]

OMG what did he do to his hair!!? LOL that must be a wig!

[alanknowles1231]

your sister in that case

[jerryjoe88]

...also...WHAT was in that "little white case"?

[jerryjoe88]

If you're quiet...you can hear Bronski Beat, rolling over in its grave.

[hamistorin]

most gay video on youtube!

[PalmieriRacing]

@hamistorin Not even close! look up Erasure and get back to me after gay-zzing your eye's on them! Look up the song How I love to hate! the live version or for that matter the video of ABBA's Take a chance on me done by Erasure I'll buy you a new Butt plug if you don't agree! LOL

[PalmieriRacing]

@hamistorin Just looked it up Love to hate you! Erasure The Tank, The Swan, The Ballon! Hold on to your manhood for this one and there are other erasure or bronski Beat songs

[hamistorin]

LOL well I admit I didnt do a real research on that topic...

didnt even know erasure were so gaaaaay!

[Penzaman]

80s meets 70s!

His voice style is unique!

[alanknowles1231]

poor c##t

[retroforever]

this is not good at all. Jimmy Summerville bit off more than can chew--or er. sing.

[nimrob]

happiness

[GazzerBear]

With that mullet he looks like Keith Chegwin

[Manare71]

is that a wig?!?

[amesguy515]

Isn't he the boyfriend of the Erasure guy?

[kaspervzzzbx]

No, he isn`t.

[amesguy515]

He is from some group though.

[JamesArranMcGregor]

the blonde haired lady on the violin is pete's mum from bb7 lol

[flocote]

no tiene desperdicio

[verbusen]

No freaking way, and I like bronski beat and erasure...this is really bad sorry.

[simon8856]

oh my . . . this is a bit shocking!!

[ellespa2004]

Oh,,,, How Vile. He looks as bad as he has made the song sound, it couldnt be any worse, wrong,, wrong,, wrong. His name says it all, Jimmy Summer(VILE)

[clusterb0mb]

boy can´t he sing.

[randyc420]

he has the hair just like he likes it.

[flocote]

esto no tiene precio

[goodolt70s]

i think jimmy somerville is great but i have to say i don,t like him singing this song

[AileesFullOfLove]

oh, that's TRASH.

[sharona666]

I like this campy version of Dancing Queen (as in Drag Queen for anyone who didn't get it)

[RheingoldxxL]

wow ... so trashy i think ... good thanks we have ERASURE.

[Catilina88]

sta benissimo con la parrucca... un grandissimo della musica mondiale

[sophiebarta]

...XD

[JMR83]

I don't remember Jimmy avec mullet!

[meteodub]

He has not good voice for this song. :/

[arthurmex]

I´m totally agree

[deckelpc]

willwehling. I'd hardly call them (ABBA) bubble gumpop when in fact you have two of the best composers/musicians in the business. The 'bubblegum pop' came about because of ABBA but there's more to ABBA than bubblegum pop. Dare i say "CHESS"!

[ToToVerzy]

GRANDE Jimmy Somerville

[fgthman]

avec des tifs,il a encore plus lair dune tarlouze mais il chante super super bien

[willwehling]

If you understand that this video was them "hamming" it up for the TV show, then this is a great performance..... People on here seem to make ABBA into some great musical genius's, when in fact they were just bubble gum pop just like all other disco/dancing pop groups of that era

[CassandraCarter]

Good campiness, but that's about it.

[alessandrate]

veramente bruto,forse l'abba suonava meglio.....

[abbamashlover]

not the best remake ever.

[DikSammer]

Sin duda una de las peores canciones de Bronski Beat.

[almasry02]

very baaaaaaaaad

[mannen31]

well, mr Cutie himself Jimmy doing as good as he can..

[glamfakir]

Oh crack a smile for shit sake. They're having a laugh and camping it up....It's not Royal Command Performance....

[scattycat69]

I agree shyboy, Abba were much better.

[sukie1958]

i thought this was great

[daveshow2]

Looks like a bay city roler lol. NEver thought much of this guy as a good falsetto singer but some of his songs work. This doesn't

[lorenzalorenza]

this is absurd... the voice of an angel sounds utterly cracked... Gee...

[artu44]

A lot of responsability is of the man on mixer

[14llove]

blooooooodyyy heeeeellllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cub68134]

i seem to agree with many here, not a good match

[shyboyangelus]

sorry, but this song just dosent work!

[universuale]

Sorry guys but this is a pathetic attempt to sing this song. He can't reach the high notes so that's why you can't hear him, and when you do it sounds awfull as usual with Jimmy Sommerville, he shrieks.

Sylvester to me was the only guy who could really sing with a strong falsetto.

Luckily he never sang this song!

Leave it to Abba, they even dressed better!!!

[artu44]

the strong falsetto ever is from Paul daVinci. Do you remember Sugar baby love from Rubettes?

[tripppp]

Homophobic ? GO watch every other clip poduced by every second rate, ugly, talentless, manky, dog, slut, vile, tart,(with tits) --there wating for you & even homophobic-retard-money works in your world----Grow some Balls Pigs....why are you watching this anyway... (By Mistake) Yeah right Welcome to the FRIENDS OF DOROTHY!!!GIRLS.

[majcenf]

go die in a hole

[PGPyramid1]

He looks like a cross between a Bay City Roller and Rod Stewart. Not a good thing to be, either of them.

[cub68134]

yeah, Rod Stewart hair just doesn't work for him; his own style is best

[Blkglo]

jimmy looks better without hair. this is just too much hair for him.

[enieledam87]

hahahahhaha this was saving my day hahah, funniest thing ever!!

[jimmywires500]

Too gay? Do many songs get criticized for being too heterosexual?

[c05urban]

I like Jimmy Sommerville but this is too much gay

[poohseng]

hey i saw this first time round and it was amazing then (it was twenty years ago)

[fortis1978]

אין מספיק סמים בעולם שיגרמו לי להבין את מה שראיתי עכשיו.

[dave4294]

Jimmy has a very distinctive voice which does not suit this track.

[savvybruce]

LOL....this is too much. What were they thinking? Looks like a tryout for the group Erasure.

[Itsmenorma]

Hey savvy.. funny thing you said that.. I was just watching some 80's show and I confused Abdy Bell with Jimmy as well....Glad not to be the only one thinking hat...

[rockeee]

Oh deary deary me. I can understand the camp appeal that people saw in The Communards and what not but this is just a dire performance. Poor ol Jimmy is either pissed or out of tune or both.

[rattekuh]

Haha you must repeat the beginning when he sings ''You''hahaha

Fukcing gay !!!

[ultimajoe777]

anyone else think of the gay old man from family guy when hearing him or is it just me?

[castroluver]

abba 10x better

[lp32862]

Hey I like Bronski Beat or the Communards but this is lame almost pathetic!

[ss7795e]

Dancingqueen is not so easy to sing in live. Try it youself.

[LF4L]

all I can say is ....ugh!!

[hbotis]

so much criticism-- where's the fun? This was done when ABBA was not hip.

[olarcial]

Of course vocals are terrible,this is not the unforgettable ABBA. But the music is good and we may see it as a little tribute to the GREAT ABBA. I enjoy that once in a while some band remember ABBA. ABBA shall never be forgetten!!

Anyway I also like some communards's songs too.

[lichterzauber]

I like Jimmy but this is truly awful.

[scaredycatohmigod]

awfully wonderful!!!

[snoopyBV]

OMG!!!, this is so fucking terrible...... The vocals are shit, the band is shit, nothing compares to ABBA, only they can perform this song, otherwise, it just sounds gay-like

[scaredycatohmigod]

snoopy, its a parody... and it is WONDERFUL, if you dont 'get' something dont diss it. Sometimes you just have to let it go. I think it is tremendous fun and i like it. So there!!!

[PAULLONDEN]

What's the STATEMENT ?

This sucks BIG TIME,

8T's at it's fuckin' worst,

Harbinger of even WORSE things to come.

[halkvideos]

nottttttttttttttt good

[mikedeluco]

music is ok vocals are shit

[everton777]

He's had more pricks than a second-hand dartboard

[Sherillla]

everton - are you jealous??

[BandosVengance]

MaccaAttcker, you got problems? This Is A Great Band, your just jelous you can't sing brilliantly? evan if he is gay. so what?

[speedycc44]

are you all thick or wot jimmy was brilliant and this is a piss take and its a wig he has on, this is on a comedy show here in the uk.

[slay68]

is this a fag band? look for my vidieos im gonna use this song for my next video for serial killers

[Anstwoy176]

Another good example of why ABBA songs are best left to ABBA.

[mikedeluco]

well im thrilled he helped the miners.vocals still suck.

[MST3Kwatcher]

Oh my goodness! Just look at Jimmy's hair! I thought it was Howard Jones there for a minute :)

[scaredycatohmigod]

i am from the mining fields of south yorkshire where thatcher screwed the miners. This guy raised so much money for the local community. he put his sexuality and his credos on the line to support a community suffering from persecution and i WILL NEVER FORGET IT. love you mate, you did well.

[crazymaceman33]

And the Brits continue to support a Queen and Royal Family that could not care less about the peasants...So glad our family left bloody England a hundred years ago...not that the U.S. is that much better...taxes not as high though. Well, keep your chin up and trust in God...in the end that's all that counts. God bless!

[Sherillla]

crazy - hey i am english from London, i would personally shoot the queen and all her family or put them in a row of terraced houses in Barnsley and take away their wealth. they are an embarassment whereas Jimmy is coolio. As for trusting in God, why would i do that, didnt he drown the world except for Noah and a few animals!!!!

[spabrat]

the people drown because of their disbelief in God,and their own belief in themselves.He did give us all free wills,all we have to do is believe that He is what He says He is,and that Jesus,the Christ was His only son who was perfect,died for the remittance of our offenses. it's very easy,all ya gotta do is ask,and believe in faith. too simple for most people

[Sherillla]

havent got a clue what you are talking about but i do know that i dont and will never believe in any god but i do believe in Jimmy, i think he is a cool guy and as for having more prick than a second hand dartboard, so what??? Lucky him

[spabrat]

by the way,i really like Jimmy,too. very talented

[Sherillla]

ok -- that's good, i will forgive you for being a christian!! :)

[mikedeluco]

this is crap. music is ok vocals are shit

[scaredycatohmigod]

talk about what you know about, leave the rest alone.

[Sherillla]

miked..... feel the shame you have got minus 6!!!!

[perfectouss]

This homosexual is fantastic!

A perfect singer!

[cicalinarrot]

Why do u think he's gay? XD XD XD

Great jimie somerville :-)

[Diamondblade2006]

Wow! A masterpiece of 80s tackiness if I ever saw one! Very entertaining though!

[mvisnja69]

This is Earth. The earth and the moon are satellites of the sun. A satellite is a smaller object that revolves around a larger object.

[Tehomet]

Scary mullet alert! Good cover though. :)

[kaone63]

oh...noooooo,you think that!!!!

[KenoshiAkai]

Oh good lord! Somebody in the entertainment industry might possibly be a homosexual! The scandal! Like nobody's ever seen anything like that before!

[kaone63]

absolutly agree with you,but i say that because,i find his commm completly idiot ;))

[eightiesfan]

LOL @ Neil Patrick Harris! I'm a die-hard Communards fan, and I gotta admit I had to take pause at this video. Thank God for their other stuff!!!

[Tobiasthedead]

great cover. jimmy looks o differnt. its kl though
