[numarktt1]

I remember BET playing this often during their early years.

[Aldon3]

wow, ill 80s flashback right here...

[SchizoidMan100]

anyone know where I can find an english translation to these words? My french is Merde!

[MisterFrenchy1987]

Sorry, the exact broadcasting date for this vid is 1984, until the summer! For example, here is the date one of the first appearance of this video in a musical tv show called "PLATINE 45", it was in 1984, in january 25th, and Jean-Baptiste Mondino was the special guest of this day called for the show "Special Dance" with Jacky the tv presenter...

[SchizoidMan100]

i saw this on Night Flight on USA network back in the 80's. Man, has it been that long?

[MichToFunk]

Jacky est un ex-animateur sur Europe1 et sur Skyrock... ainsi qu'un ex-présentateur de "Platine 45" puis "Super Platine" sur Antenne2 et du "Jacky Show" sur TF1... et enfin actuellement présentateur du "Journal Jacky D'Aujourd'hui" (JJDA) sur IDF1.

[ptitssschat]

mondino......un precurseur et toujours dans le coup en 2010

[UltraPOPDJ]

I saw this video on BET back in 1984. My mom said that it meant "dance up to date". How the devil would she know, she only took German.LOL. When she saw this video again she turned from it thinking that it was "racy". Man, I was soo devastated. I haven;t heard it since then until now, thanks to the power of "google". Thank you posting this, mate!

[NubianFeenx]

@UltraPOPD I saw this video on Video Soul back in the day. I was so intrigued because I had never heard rap in a language other than English. Plus, my family being French (among other things), it was cool to hear French rap. By the way, I think it tranlates to dance of the alphabet.

[roXyMUZik1]

danse danse des maux,c la dans dans dans des maux!!

[mmmmmmmmm95]

esta cancion es una pendejada como el mismo director

[icauna]

le premier morceau zulu funky fresh ever in france. Apres le drame des siderurgiste, la france apauvrie, un bon moment de bonne humeur.

[MichToFunk]

J'ai découvert ce clip,en 1983,dans PLATINE45 avec Jacky :-o

[lobraful]

1983? c'est si vieux que ça

[dirtyrottensecret]

how interesting! is this a vowel song?? I only know very basic french.

[zigzigfuck]

j'adore JB Mondino .

[t0rt0ise07]

hi is this video done in paris?if not where is it done at?

[elfulanito]

how bizarre

[superjojo99]

L'âge d'or du clip... Drôle, inventif, et avec du style !! le meilleur des 80's

[IvanMerso]

J'ignorais qu'il existait une version longue de ce clip. La seule chanson de Mondino qui n'a jamais réédité l'exploit. J'y ai reconnu feu Farid Chopel, Ged Marlon, Caroline Loeb, Tristan entre autres. Toute une clique d'artistes qui avaient fait des choses drôlement passionnantes pendant les "golden eighties". Thanks a lot 4 the add.

[asherdust]

love this track.....thanks for posting this...

[GuyTarsesh]

What a stupid racist pointless comment!

[gladbeast]

what a dick

[nikinuman]

What an excellent song...I remenber being taught slow 'rockabilly' dance to this (with a twist) by a cute dj who didn't mind putting it on the turntable and leaving for a few minutes...a favourite groovy track which reached Sydney through London release in the early eighties (1984 sounds right)...probably a defining moment in music, for me at least. Can't get away from the french stuff!

[benlu123]

I remember seeing this on the UK kids programme Swap Shop in the early 80's.There was no explanations or anything about what it was and I tried record shops with no success.Thanks for this!

[holodocdr]

It's a masterpiece and great to see again. Some obscure Long Island UHF station running rock videos 24/7 in the mid-80s showed this one often. The cost of those few seconds of computer animation showing a cube flying apart into pieces would have paid for hundreds of these videos in the 1970s. I'll cast my vote to the 1980s as its origin.

[bestofcomputer3000]

I'm sorry but there is is absolutly no computer animation in that clip : anything is naturally hand made by pixillation : images are taken 2 by 2 like in a real camera mode, this is not real direct continuous filming, and everything seen on the video is real objects hand made, not computer generated : this is real arts here ! And you are confusing 2 things : the date of creation in France is 1978 ! But there is a second date of American release of the same LP in America : 1982 ! Sorry, guys.

[holodocdr]

There is a few seconds of a cube spinning around and the sides flying apart. This is computer animation. As someone who took traditional animation I can guarantee you the shot was not done by hand. I guess only Msr Mondino could confirm.

[philkot]

jjkj jljk j

[philkot]

I'm not Mr Mondino but I was his editor and I cut this promo in Paris in December 1984. Yes, holo, you're right. This is CGI, and no, it didn't cost anything. It offered by some fx company, I totally forgot the name of. And the release of of this was 84, the promo was produced by Island Paris.

[sfourne2]

hello mister , when was releades the song " danse des mots"? tks

[amiausUSA]

@sfourne2 I would say 1982 or 1983 but not earlier.

[caligari89]

J'aime, j'aime, j'aime! Merci pour poster!

[DJPsychoDTM]

I haven't seen this video in something like 23 years. They used 2 play this on a show called Night Visions....one of THE greatest records in my collection and a great memory.

[flickerpixanimations]

I have a copy of the 7 inch single,

it reads 1984.

this single used digital samplers whcih were only available from 1982 onwards.. like the almighty FAIRLIGHT which gave us that amazing ZOOLOOK album by JM Jarre

[blackrocker1]

It was released in 1984. Kraftwerk did "Tour De France" the year before. I saw this video on USA's Night Flight, the time when I was learning French. I still like it after all these years.

[azadikhah]

This video is not from 1978, in fact it's so 80's!I saw it for the first time on French tv at the earliest in late 1983, early 1984, and I watched a lot of tv back then!Anyway, everything about the video(the fashions, the smurfing,the 80's style rapping, the sound of the song, etc.) are dead giveaways that this is circa 1982-84.There's not even a hint of the 70's in it.

[bestofcomputer3000]

Mondino released his first commercial video in 1981.

And only after that, the media started knowing him, and they diffused his very first video, but after 1981.

That's why the public ever reminds about it near 1983 (falsly)...

But his first video is really before 1980, that is for sure !

[drpenfield]

@bestofcomputer3000 Every source I've seen points to 1983 for this single as well as the video (google "discogs" or "mondino monde")

Of course even in 1983 it's ahead of its time!

[MisterFrenchy1987]

The first J-B Mondino's vid is "Rendez-vous au paradis", a good french summer hit broadcasted in all radio station, sung by the french singer and composer Alain Chamfort in summer '81. "La danse des mots" knew a huge broadcasting on french tv, during the summer 1983. It's not possible that his first vid was before 1980. Because the arrival of the videos in France began exactly in 1981 and took a huge success in 1983-84 with the TV shows like "Les enfants du rock", "22, Boulevard des clips"...
