Fred Schneider - Monster

[DragonLord1975]

MAGIC WAND, MAKE MY MONSTER...GROW!!! Sorry. Spur of the moment.

[hagbarros]

Muito bom , me lembro de quando era criança que conheci o rock'nroll em 1985 no rock'nrio (pela tv claro) Meu sonho é conhecer essa banda!

[XxXRammsteinxRoXxXxX]

the blond is tina weymouth from the talking heads i think

[johnmalory26]

Put this song when you invite some girl to your place 

[melodykniss]

Is it a solo project if your band is in the video...? love this album thanks for posting

[kozmikthing]

@melodykniss The only member of the band in the video is Kate Pierson, the red-head. The blonde in the video is NOT Cindy Wilson.

[caramelistic]

WOW!!! Seeing the video for the first time in over 25 years. I get the underlying meaning now

[unorthodoxJ]

1:49 caught me off guard there

[pittsburghmuggle]

I've had a voice singing "Oh they don't wear pants on the other side of France.." for a week and could not remember where I had heard the riff before. Finally I remember it - it was on a VHS tape my sister's boyfriend gave her. Thanks for posting this.

[Seanorman88]

Moral of the story: Fred Shneider's dick has a beak.

[npspec34]

Greatest vid ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[luckystar85]

I like it a lot! never seen this before. Very groovy indeed!

[kryten77]

OMG!!!! When I was little I had a VHS with THIS on it right before Pee Wee's Big Adventure! ......... YEAH I totally had not chance of growing up normal ^_^ Thanks Mom and Dad

[Styk0s]

what....the...fuck ?!?!

[SweetSweetWaldo]

Fred Schneider and the Shake Society deserved a Grammy!

[LarzipanMars]

I have been looking for this song since I was 7 years old. I am so glad I found it

[Jefgg]

Fred Schneider is a real character. But he isn't the most masculine guy in the world. Notthattheresanythingwrongwith­that. I saw on wikipedia he was born in Newark, NJ. He never struck me as a Jersey Boy.

[PsychLion]

@Jefgg Not that there is anything wrong with that...well you pointed it out didn't you. So obviously it matters to you or you wouldn't have said anything. You wonder why gays have problems with your kind of attitude.

[statman99]

I LOVE this song!!!!

[harp99]

I still have the cassette tape of this album. Heard this before I even knew who the B-52's were.

[harp99]

I still have the cassette tape of this album

[TheSomberJester]

Great song for a first date!!! Helps the girl get the main idea!!!

[yarekhunt]

I want this played at my funeral!

[Sciencio9]

Tem a cara da minha infancia

[cocorocoso]

ずっと探してました！！！ありがとうm(_ _)m

[xoxILoveCatsxox]

omg this song is so hillarious lol :)

[SrNintemdo]

SO FUNNY VIDEO , and the SONG ROCKS!!!!!!

[mlaechel]

Funny thing is, he actually gay. Hes out and everything. So the video needs to be redone with guys.

[SharkSport]

Gosh would you look at that thang!!!

[tigerlilly101213]

i luv the b52 sooooo much they rock i saw them in concert once and sat in the 6th row....IT WAS AMAZING!!!!

[prospectus91]

Good old Fred, doing his thing. No pun intended.

[Tomthewumpus]

OHMYGOSH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

This is amazing!

[GamePlan159]

Hahahahaha, this is funny

[BondoFox]

Missing the intro.

[rwk1983]

if i see that white monster in boxers running out my moms room again i might have to stomp dat ass

[nathanlikestacos]

LOLZ my dad introduced me to this song!

[richiebear1969]

This song sounded alot like "Big Bird" on the Whammy album, I'm sure you B-52's fan will agree.

[booboobay1]

Yes, I can hear that in there...

[irvinejump]

Yeah me too, but I always loved Big Bird as well

[jaemoon2]

lol this is so weird. what a legend. what year was this??

[irvinejump]

1984 (CD re released in 1991)

[greenyawgmoth]

Fred Schneider looks disturbingly similar to Ted Allen.

[penguins4263]

sweet i can play the part at 1.46 on guitar

[penguins4263]

omg i love this song

[bigfoot16m]

I love this song too. Bought the LP YEARS ago and loved it. I just love no matter what they play! Can definitely tell that this is from the 80's though. Love it!

[BondoFox]

I never found the LP, man! What was it??

[madmonk66]

That is so retardo I kina like it.

Big fan of early B52s.

He seems to be bringin on the absurdity....all we need is Freddy Mercury in drag with a vacuum cleaner and Yello saying "but you're going way too fast" playing on a big screen at your local mall...and well....that was the 80s!

All humor aside....Fred is cool.

[ILoveB52s]

OMG!

[uboat1918]

Man, I would be horribly embarrassed to come out on this cheesy-ass video!

[pianoman001]

Is that Tina Weymouth in the video at 0:51?

[TheTatterdemalion2]

I think so.

[stereoloov]

Most probably.Tom Tom Club & B52's used to record at the same studio(Chris Blackwell's Compass Point)in Bahamas,and a friendship grew from those meetings.Also,David Byrne was the producer of 'Mesopotamia'

[garagerockermadrid]

it is her indeed. Good ol' Tina's wherever there's some wild dancing goin' on, so it seems...

[skeleman]

and that mesopotamia album was crap....

[stereoloov]

I agree.The B's were so dissapointed with the results that only 6 tracks were released,leaving half of the recordings out of the album.

[hEV6060842]

Mesopotamia is not crap.

[OMGZLOLZWTFZ]

LOL

[gianeportal]

Does anybody know what is the name of the egyptian song Fred refers to at 1:46?

It's the same song of woody woodpecker cartoons.. Thanks.

[GigsVT]

It's known as the "snake charmer song" or "The streets of Cairo" ... You should be able to google from there.

[gianeportal]

Thanks a lot, Gigs! I'll see what I find!

[HOHNancy]

As much as I enjoy The B-52's Fred and Kate in this video, this one just cracked me up! He's probably just bragging in the song. LOL

[skatergirlsnap]

whoa buddy is all i gots to say about this song!

lol

[jellyrewis]

I first heard this on a local rock station's morning show. I didn't have MTV and didn't know who performed it at the time, so I'm glad I finally came across this video (All hail the Internet!)

[oortx]

and i thought dinosaurs were extinct!!

go fred

[carnivalofsouls2047]

This is clearly Fred and Kate at their best! Love it!

[HOHNancy]

I love it too! :)

[48shadowmaker48]

Frank Zappa wrote this song, but I like Fred's version!

[primechuq]

frank zappa did not write this song.

[tomyaz]

At the time this was the MOST SHOCKING video on MTV. There is a VERY RARE x rated ending somewhere out there where te monster turns into a giant clay penis and explodes over the city.

[hndsmepete]

I have seen the x-rated version. Playboy tv used to show videos that MTV wouldn't play because of nudity or drug use. I watched it on there in probably 1996 & I haven't seen it since.

[misterscamp]

Dumb people being stupid and boring be damned---DAMNED,I say! Videos and clips like these are the sole reason YouTube is important culture.

[Boheamie]

lol even kates in it, ohhh fucking love it xxxxxxx

[HeadButShow]

do you guys know the story on b-52's well, long story short the b-52s did a skit at a frat party and people started saying WOW! you guys are good you should keep it up so that made the band b-52's

[48shadowmaker48]

You can find out all about the B52s on their webside B52s dot com!

[EleEleEle]

XD I used to love this video when I was a kid, I had it on VHS and watched it all the time. Fred just rocks, he's so fun. :D

[downlowkihei]

amazing how a man with so little talent can get so famous

[mirrorp00l]

Wow. Thanks for posting this. I had a tape of the Demento countdown this is from and watched religiously as a teen. I even have the album this is from on cassette in my car for 80s emergencies.

[WheelsyMcGee]

Take that Monster!

[dkim68]

I first saw this video in the 80's on a USA Network program called Nite Flight.  What a catchy tune!

[zfvit]

Queijoso - brega - retro - brega

[LunaSeaSane]

Keith Harring? Where?

Sorry Fred, I don't dig the low voice so much.

There was some cool percussion though.

[marvelboy74]

The guy drawing on the chalkboard is Haring.

[LunaSeaSane]

K e i t h Haring?

[masclatin]

hes got a monster in his pants!!!!

[nadador64]

oh wow! Keith Haring!

[germanfrancie]

Awesome! Love this one.

[mr2del]

Nothing personal, but this vid didn't get much airtime. I long since knew why. Enjoy the upload.

[pilcherd]

its the first time i have heard it and i like it!
