  • Is that who I think it is at 1:33???

  • always loved the start of this tune

  • that good topic! this morning I heard on the radio and came straight to youtube to watch the video had never seen, is when I was in college a few years now. Greetings from Argentina jumps

  • Synthesizers sound like X-Files theme.

    Cannot be unheard now. :D

  • And she is still hot!!!

  • wow they dont come much sexier than Jody Watley do they. Those Shalamar dudes could really dance too.

  • This song was a direct copy of Janet's What Have You Done me Lately right down from the rap romp and the yeah-yeah=yeah part (where Janets was oooh--oooh yeah)

  • @maatspear Are you serious?

  • Rupaul's drag race brought me here :)

  • I swear that's Val Kilmer.

  • still a greah song years later

  • HASTA LA VISTA, BABY! (before Arnold Swartznegger..lol)

  • Illuminati symbolism all thru this video. Sad because I like Jody.

  • What the hell does Madonna have to do with anything related to this video. Is it because they both wore petticoats in their videos? Madonna is in a league of her own (no pun intended) and JW is a super talented artist as well. They both contributed to our audible pleasure why knock either one?

  • wish she tour here i love her....

  • Jody was all her own. Her sound, her image. Back in the day, you were cool if you had Jody pumpin from your car stereo. Yea yea yea...lol

  • @tallcoolone09 I must still be cool because I still listen to her tape pumpin in my stero . yea yea yea :)

  • @laaspen lol...right on!

  • A lot better than MaDonna. Different. Very original sound. I remember hearing Jody Watley a lot more in the eighties than MaDonna. MaDonna didn`t dominate until the nineties when AIDs devastated the market and there really wasn`t many places to dance in. People went to shaking their asses in their cars.

  • Cai I put myself in a time machine and go back to the 80s? Timeless decade....yeah, yeah, yeah....

  • @Mystiqueness35 only if you take me with you!!

  • Yes she was out long before Madonna! LOL.

  • I LOVEEEDDDD JODY Watley...i still love the big hops and I purchased that skirt back then.

    

  • hasta la vista  baby ;)

  • god i miss the 80s

  • theres a long version of this video! does anyone have it?

  • @nutsaq found it!

    watch?v=foq2yMj2QgQ

  • Brings back awesome memories!! Thanks for sharing!!

  • Jody Watley > Lady CRAPPa

  • this is song was and will always be the best! Especialy if u were 7 yrs old and knew the words to it!

  • She Was The Heart Of Shalimar!!!

  • Crazy hypnotic bassline, viral hook...one of the best tracks of the 1980s!

  • This lady has so much talent... love Jody Watley... I would like to see a reunion with Karyn White, Jennifer Holiday, Me'lissa Morgan, Jody Watley, Shirley Murdock, Stephanie Mills. A 80s reunion... the list goes on...

  • When I was very little my mom would play this on tv with other music videos and i would be staring at it lol not responding to anyone else

  • She scared me a little bit when I was a kid I mean look at the way she cut that dudes back up with her fine cat looking ass...

  • i don't care what y'all say, this b*tch was HOT & made my time in the 80's HOT!!! January 31st 1989; the day the world really ended!

  • What a NIGGY Know......about this jam?

  • She was so cool when first came out, way cooler the Janet.

  • Very catchy, rhythmic, love it !!! 80's RULEZZ & ROCKZZ !!!

  • Astalavista Baby!

  • My aunt and I used to jam to this in her car in the 80s.

  • Now I must admit.....in the part where Jody is wearing that tall hat and jeans and she is on the bench......she totally reminds me of Down Town Julie Brown ( and she favorite VJ on MTV )

  • i miss the days when this song was on MTV several times a day!! Jody Watley....before there was Beyonce....There was Jody!!!!

  • what happened to sisters like this? Where are the j.watley's,janet j.,karyn w.,michele',tina t.,sade,lisa lisa,whitney h.,swv,envogue,evelyn k.,klymaxx,rose royce,stephanie m.,chaka k.,minnie r.,jade,lauryn h., ect? Today there are a few who are pretty good,but man they just don't sing or carry them selfs like artist of the 60's-90's. I don't hear the great voices or beats from the past either. I wish it was humanly possible to go back in time to see & hear all the greats of the past.

  • @str8outtatexas1 I was just at Jody's Facebook page today, Pebbles on Twitter (Jody, SWV, Chaka and almost every lady you mentioned) these artists are still here it's radio (didn't even support Sade's last releases even though her tour was one of the best ever, Jill Scott, Ledisi, Goapele and so on) ageism, politics. Thing is we have to use the internet to seek these ladies and artists we love no excuses in the digitial space

  • @ClassicShalamar -I totally agree with you. I still listen to all of the women i mentioned probably 50% of the time i'm listening to my ipod and the other 50% it's old school hip-hop(80's-90's) & funk. I don't even listen to the radio,it's all ipod 34,000 songs of anything you want pre-2000's. I just miss their performances,interviews, and the way they carried themself's. Today it just seems like it's all image,with very little talent. No true substance or originality. It's repetitive garbage.

  • she's so influenced by Diana Ross and the sound is so Madonna. love this classic

  • Really reminds me so much of Janet's 'What have you done for me lately'. Both great songs!

  • Cool video! One of the best of many in the '80s~sigh~

    &

    What an exotic beauty...

  • Top of line

  • Jody Watley was everything LaToya Jackson should've been.

  • Too cool!

  • 你看我小時候,冷不冷門......

  • Great song!! It really break down in tears!! Depite that I have no one right now. That I don't want to single for one more day!! Help me begin being w/ someone soon!!

  • @hiitscarl Trust me it will happen when you are not lookin for it! Theres nothing better than when things happen naturally.

  • One of the TOP 10 of the 80's.

  • KMD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the other day this song popped  into my head :) <3 this song!

  • I love  this

  • This used to be THE SONG!!! Memories...

  • Is that "Val Kilmer?

  • @lvmusiq1 I wondered the same thing! Who knows...anyone?

  • Too bad Jody didn't wanna go back and make some serious green, with the reunited Shalamar.

  • Hardcore For life .. GO KING CONQUER

  • One of My tunes I was proud of owning in 87, one of my influences when I tried writing a couple of songs back then, An extremely crucial time in my life for trying to express myself when I falt trapped in a relationship

  • One of My tunes I was proud of owning in 87, one of my influences when I tried writing a couple of songs back then, An extremely significant time

  • Jody Watley is gorgeous

  • If you have to keep looking for a new love, then something is definately wrong with you.

  • I always thought this song was sung by Paula Abdul. Wow!

  • Cool old school jam ~! ;) ;)

  • The intro to this song is my favorite.

  • Videos were so abstract and bizarre back then, but they were so cool.

  • I love Jody...Shame on you if you think she was mocking Madonna.. Jody's style was wild and crazy!!! Lady Gaga use to watch this video..LOL

  • @robynn1978 shes hott and will always f**k up lady gaga !! lady gaga ain't got shit on jody? and madoona ain't got shit on her as well lmfao love you jody

  • @robynn1978 Jody was out before Madonna

  • @robynn1978 Right! Everyone wore those skirts in the 80s! That was 'the style'!

  • i LOVE that outfit!

  • Madonna doesn't have talent at all! Never has!

  • Asta la vista baby!

  • Go girl!

  • 3:04 I wanna do that dance.

  • back to the 80s

    great time!

  • Underrated.

  • This video its so hipnotyc!!!

  • Great song!

  • Hell Yea, Ms: JODY WATLEY.......!!

  • nice video direction and pretty good dance song

  • love this

  • Arnold done stole 'hasta la vista, baby', from Jody! She hit #2 in Billboard, 5-2-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! BTW, is Jody an alto?

  • @DaveWollenberg That's only one chart though the big one Hot 100 add to it #1 R&B (her first) and #1 Dance as well you right on that 'hasta la vista baby' 100% I think she is the only ex member of Shalamar to have any crossover hits. Isn't that true? Good stat work. I think she might be more second soprano but like on Still A Thrill alto but I'm not a singer only took choir in school so I could be wrong lol just love music, work in the biz and been her fan since her Soul Train/ Shalamar days

  • very awesome song

  • I LOVE THIS SONG AND VIDEO!!!

  • Oh! Really? That's interesting. Thanks for the heads up then!

  • Jody looks very much like the Downtown Julie Brown in this video. =-)

    

  • @Oldschoolgal5 Actually.... Downtown Julie Brown attempted to patent her look after Jody. Check your facts and dates, dear. Lov'ya!

  • awesome anthem! makes you love being a girl;)

  • @ushudnobettr MRUF...SPUD WOULD AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS ISSUE, AS WELL! :-) Lol

  • Hey Yo

  • 123 Uh

  • YOUR BOYFRIEND WOULD DEBATE THE DIFFERENCE....IF HE WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND, HE WASN'T LAST NIGHT. BOYFRIEND, BOYFRIEND, YES I HAD YOUR BOYFRIEND....

    AND, HE LOVED MY BALLS!

    TO MRF...SPUD. LOL

    REMEMBER ME?

  • @shaftunlimited

    NO FACE = NO BALLS

  • I had a huge crush of Jodi Watley back in the day when I was a kid. 3:02 is a litmus test of sorts for the girls I date. If they can do that move, I'm interested. If not, see ya.

  • This is my drag song! lol

  • SOME ONE AT JWATLEY1 HAS SET THE VIDEOS SO I GET

    ''You have been blocked by the owner of this video.''

    AND WITH NO EXPLANATION

    SO JUST WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

    COLOUR ME VERY DISAPPOINTED

  • @MURPHNSPUD IT'S BEEN SAID SOME TIMES DREAMS DO COME TRUE, BUT WHAT'S THE REMEDY FOR KILLING OFF A NIGHTMARES, BETTER YET, WHAT'S THE LIFE SPAN OF STUPIDITY ON YOUTUBE? ask Vevo, not JWatley1 and count the explanations as they come rolling in!

  • I love Jodi Whatlley. I just do.

  • reminds me of and old friend Petrina

  • the question here would be, why are dudes watching rupauls drag race? anyone? anyone?

  • heard this on rupauls drag race....

    i wish mariah practiced 'cause i thought delta was beatable in that lipsync..... (all of her lipsyncs.... >>) i know shes not a lipsyncer, but dangggg, she got on the show, so i figure you better learn :C

  • There are some crazies on here. i have liked Jody for a long time, but if she puts out a bad cd, then i don't buy it. Unfortunately she has lately. i am hoping for a return.

  • HI THERE MS WATLEY CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY YOU HAVE BARRED ME FROM MAKING COMMENTS ON YOUR VIDEOS??????

    ALL IVE EVER DONE IS TRY 2 MAKE SUGGESTIONS 2 MAKE YOU EVEN MORE POPULAR

    YOURS - DISGUSTED FROM THE UK

  • I was 11 and I wanted to be her, but the closest I ever came was having the same big hoop earrings as her. LOL

  • @beenita1976 Hehe...back when I was a lil girl, I remember my mother use to love Jody Watley's nysuc and style...especially them gypsy earings! In fact, she still does. :)

  • i was 15 when tis song was out.

  • @2:07 Why do the crazies find me when I'm just waiting for a bus?

  • sweet

  • I LOVED JODY WATLEY! SHE WAS TRUE ENTERTAINER JUST LIKE MADONNA! I LOVED HER! BIG FAN!

  • @duncv1 WOW, again?You must NOT be a TRUE fan because every video I watch your comments refer to her in PAST tense, she's alive, making compelling music and still FABULOUS. I LOVE JODY WATLEY, SHE IS A TRUE ENTERTAINER, us TRUE fans know what's going on. Maybe YOU should branch out beyond commercial force fed TOP 40, smdh

  • @chicsensibilities yes im a true fan but i havent seen her perform since the 90's! i didnt even know she still making music! she never comes to chicago! i never see her on tv shows! hell if she still making music kudos for her! y are u so mad at my comment? hell is she putting money in your pocket? r u her manager or somethang? u acting like i said somethang negative! im loved her music! yes im saying past tense cause im commenting on the past songs! so bounce off!

  • @duncv1 U consider urself a TRUE fan but haven't paid attention since the 90's? I'd say fair weather. I'm not a manager just a proud, dedicated TRUE fan in that I have followed her career as well as her Myspace, FB. Twitter, website and so forth to know what she is doing, where she is appearing and so forth. I don't rely on general media, if u haven't noticed driven by crass sensationalism. Money in my pocket? No, but she remains an inspiration & her music still rocks unless u just like BET

  • @chicsensibilities maybe im not a true fan then! im not going to argue over no jody watley! please get a life!

  • True Fashionista and a class act!

  • i knew this song before some show and im 17:)

  • @cherylpartida that makes you a loser

  • @12GaugeNippleRings okay and who are you to judge?

  • This is the song that you need to listen to after some guy breaks up with you, not a slow sad song.

  • @MyRainbowzz So very true!

  • Comment removed

  • This was the isht back in the day!

  • bye asshole!

  • i bet RU did this back in the day...

  • I really love the opening :16 - :32 for some reason it makes me feel very nostalgic.

  • Damn she was so Hot in this Video...I had Dreams after watching this Video, and don't ask me what Kind either..lol!

  • Jody, Jody Jody, Darn good singer

  • I LOVE JODY WATLEY !

  • ha ha ha! kmd definitely took the best part!

  • Comment removed

  • I never understood that comparison of calling Jody "the black Madonna". Jody's style and originality was all her own. Not to knock Madonna, whom I also loved back in the 80's, but Jody's style had a sense of elegance, sensuality and very much european inspired.....while Madonna's style in the early days was somewhat rebellious and bad girl trashy

  • Comment removed

  • @eric9590...What's also funny is that Jody Watley's sense of style came out before Madonna. Madonna was given the credit but Jody Watley was the original. I'm a fan of Madonna, but I gotta give credit where credit is do and Jody Watley gets it.

  • @eric9590 I think what they mean is that she has a style and originality of her own like Madonna. And I actually can see the comparison a bit with the fru fru skirts and synthesized beats plus the vocals are similar too.

  • @AJtheamazing1 music industry is a business c'mon dont deny the obvious.Back then everybody was trying to sound/ look like madonna& MJ. Or being influenced by them however you wanna call it.Same 4babyface No matter how big fan you are of Jody,its clear shes an artist in her own right but theres people here putting down Madonna. Like it or not she's an icon with a very distintictive voice and a strong live act who redefined the female pop star .She influenced Janet britney Gaga and so on

  • @IbericShamans Really? Jody Watley was never trying to sound or look like Madonna let's be clear.She was doing it as a popular dancer on Soul Train, an original member of Shalamar etc. Madonna was sex and came out biting the black sound. Jody she vogued pre Madonna on Soul Train her video for Friends the first w rap verses with Eric B & Rakim formula STILL is use today Jody was also in Gaultier as early as 84 post Shalamar, It was M who followed Jody to David Fincher. Learn your history

  • @eric9590 No comparison to JodY! Madonna wasnt half the act Jody is.

  • @eric9590 Eric, I had this discussion on here with some folks awhile ago, and BOY, did it get UGLY. I kept saying the same thing you just said and was surprised to find out that that naysayers were adamant in saying that Madonna watched and followed Jody from her Soul Train days and did (according to them) steal or borrow some of Jody's style and ideas. They claimed that Jody was wearing tutus, leggings and boostiers before Madonna. I didn't see how this could be so, when Madonna was Mid 80's.

  • This was an awesome video! I loved the ending. Perfect.

  • I love this chic !!!! @1:07 shes trying to start her harley, I love her soooooooooo much!!

  • I thought they were throwing baby spinach at her at first. Lol.

  • cool

  • lol i thought this was Janet Jackson! when i first heard it on the Radio!

  • @mukaikof me too... sounds like her!

  • She's my idol

  • My goodness makin me horny Hun..Jody knows what love means..

  • cool song

  • Do anyone know if that is Val Kilmer in this video? I'm really good with faces...;)

  • @Mominique23 That's not Val Kilmer.

  • @wildenights i think its don johnson!

  • Didn't MF Doom sample this or am I wrong?

  • @MrDerfinator Yeah when he was in KMD. "What A Nigga Know?"

  • Yes, take me back to the 80's anytime. I have this album on LP. I remember singing this song to alot of guys who broke up with me. I love this video too. There's nothing like strutting your stuff in your exe's face, lettig him know what he missed.

  • My mom had recorded this video on vhs tape so I knew about this song since I was kid. I loved her style and the song is so catchy. I still remember every word of this song.

  • this is my favorite song by her.. got me thru some breakups.. lol

  • only 4 people hate this song it should really be zero though for dislike

  • What a nigga know?
