Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out

[bradfordpestservices]

As a hard rocker, this use to be one of my guilty pleasures 30 years ago when it came out. Now i can care less if people know I like it. Great melody, great song

[HandofDoom01]

The comment in Japanese says, "The nuclear disaster burned off both of my legs. Looks like i won't be Steppin' Out." :(

[MrGoomba909]

@HandofDoom01 ... No. Just no. Not only is that wrong... that's just friggin Cruel.

[Bequitajones]

recuerdos!!!este tema es espectacular!!!

[SuperOmnicron]

theme of our high school Senior Prom....damn....

[Knightmessenger]

why is it so hard to find this video in the correct 4:3 aspect ratio?

sigh...

[ps249]

I love this song. Definately reminds me of my younger days back in the 80's. This is a good summer-theme song.

[MrCombat1965]

@ps249 Ditto.

[cutlass802008]

I RAPE THE REPLAY BUTTON .

[Dablkwid0w2008]

EW I looooved this song LMAOOO

[3TNT3]

@jonthediscobandit Are you a big Joe Jackson fan? If so, would you happen to have annnny idea what song Joe sang on his *first* appearance on 'The Jimmy Kimmel Show- Live'? I saw Joe on there way back in 2003, or 2004?, and I loved the song Joe played. I have not been able to find out what song it was (really wish I had written down some of the lyrics), and I would be so thankful if someone could tell me, or at least tell me where I might be able to find out. Thank you in advance. : )

[classy1973]

This song is sooooo NYC!! I luv it.....xoxo

[ajamazing1]

Dream-like. "So tired of all the darkness in our lives..."

[swankrecords]

timeless. the rolex of pop.

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #82 song of '83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Happy new year, Joe Jackson.

[MusicifyTheMusic]

The anthem of New York City

[classy1973]

@MusicifyTheMusic I can't believe you said this!! I was just thinking the EXACT same thing....This song makes you proud to be in NYC. I listen to this before I go out.

[CornishCockney]

@classy1973 yes its about new york,but Joe Jackson is the man and he's ENGLISH !! from portsmouth actually.i concede he was more appreciated in the USA.

[cookieheart100]

@MusicifyTheMusic i was born in NYC. :)

[yougodit]

VICE CITY ALL DAY BABY!!!

[kja427]

Of all the cats to come out of the late 70's, Joe Jackson would have to be one of the hippest. As you can see, and hear, he had a style all his own. Too bad it didn't last. He had more talent than most in TODAY'S Music industry; Believeth Thou It!

[UnseenEntityMetal]

..ive been looking for this song for 20 years w/ no name and i finaly found it...i can rest now

[tokenmormon]

@UnseenEntityMetal I know what you mean. As a kid, I always pictured an airplane in the sky when I heard this music. It really stuck with me, and as an adult I had it in my head, even though I hadn't heard it for 20 years. When it came on the TV one day, it was like seeing a ghost.

[UnseenEntityMetal]

@tokenmormon ...i heard this for the 1st time in a decade standing in big lots and accosted the manager she locked herself in the office and called the cops...they come up im screamin whats that song!!!whats that song!!!...kick my ass n let me go..so lookin on youtube was my only shot it was tearin a hole through my skull glad some1 else liked this enough to find it aswell

[5Kpro]

I'm just going to put this out there, J Dilla brought me here :)

[edkumspirytkum]

80's <3

[Squab1972]

Shame fine songs like this don't exist anymore, I hate the crap in the charts.

[57YOKO]

NY行ったことないけど。。。イメージとしては高層アパートで過­ごすNYの夜ってこんなかなぁって、当時勝手に想像したのを覚え­てます。って、まだ行ったことないし（笑）

[deadizle]

@57YOKO ENGLISH MOTHER FUCKER! DO YOU TYPE IT?!?!?!

[jonthediscobandit]

@57YOKO 私はニューヨークに行ったことがないので、私は本当に知っている­だろう。

[TheBassboy46]

this song reminds me of my Brother Ronnie!!!pass away in 2003 rip!!!

[mryjn420090]

I thought this was Michael Jacksons Dad.

[UMMD1]

I swore this dude was a Black guy with that voice back then, bad ass song, beats most of the BS out there today!!!

[falmouth2011]

Always loved this! Unfortunately they dont make em like this anymore. It has a tune for one thing!

[TheBoomer418]

Love this song. Can U belive this song is going to 30 years old. I was seven when this song came on I would turn the volume when this song came on MTV back in 82.

[TheWheels777]

@TheBoomer418 I was seven when this came out too. My favorite song from my childhood. 30 years, my god.

[jaysmic24]

always loved this song :D

[Ninjanomicory]

Had this song caught in my head for the whole weekend not knowing a single blasted one of the lyrics.

asked several of my coworkers this morning, and one of them goes... hmmm... OH! JOE JACKSON Steppin OUT!

Finally... Earworms where you don't know the words are just killer.

[LYONNAIS69FUNK]

GTA VICE CITY

[hepcoe64]

I "FUCKING" love this song. Sorry for the rude word...

As well, the bass line is something Flea would have done, had he been part of it

[hepcoe64]

I "FUCKING" love this song. Sorry for the rude word...

[kojakbangbang7]

from 1982  TO 2012

[leonnuggetz]

@kojakbangbang7 i was 2 yrs old when this came out. i was 22 when youtube came out. isn't technology wonderful???

[2slick35]

brings back memories. wow! I'm getting old! this came out how long ago? I'm so old! love this song.....a good one!

[Gschmidt247]

If this were a potato it would be a damn good potato!

[Zestybeef]

Thumbs up if you like boobs!

[M1ManOwaR]

Never knew who sang this song or what it was named, glad to have found it since I've always liked this track. Thank you Yahoo Answers.

[truerock74]

This song is the bomb-diggity.

[Striljr]

thumbs up if Vice City led you here!

[thehoosierfortheUK]

Now this is music! It's sensitive, adventurous, and colorful as well as tranquilent. All the so-called music with "singing"( that really is screaming like they got their testicles caught in the salad shooter) can eat their hearts out!

[cutlass802008]

@thehoosierfortheUK AND ADDICTIVE !

[8283doc]

@thehoosierfortheUK this song sounds even better than it did all those years ago. makes me wish we could go back to the early 80s. this was back when mtv actually played music videos.

[KALEIGHdoscope]

This song epitomizes my childhood. Right along with Solsbury Hill and Dy'er Maker. If it weren't for having awesome parents I'd be stuck reminiscing about Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. God forbid. D:

[23raynsc]

I luv this song, I was about 7 or 8 when this came out, my mom use to turn it up loud and sing to it, seeing this brings her back, she passed 20 yrs ago, thanks for posting it.

[Meela234]

@23raynsc You've brought tears to my eyes. May your mother R.I.P. 

[23raynsc]

@Meela234 Thanks meela234

[doubleye]

@23raynsc I was also around 7 or 8 when this came out, and my dad died back in '89.

[23raynsc]

@doubleye sorry to hear that.

[mCletyciaozh]

i love it

[epic88]

i love this song, really captures the 80's

[acedaface954]

@epic88 i constantly ask myself who said that music from the 80s was horrible.

[epic88]

@acedaface954 ppl who hate GOOD music

[willweagraff]

now it would be leave the e laptop and cell phone behind he he

[dayooperASBDT]

I bet Joe Jackson could blend a Blendtec.

[YOU2UUB]

no doubt piano is the music

[jlundell59]

Thanks for posting this song/video! Brings back great memories of my youth! This song really rocked the dance floor! Oh to be young again :) I Love Joe Jackson!!

[cgj531]

When I was in grade school, this song woke me up every morning on my alarm clock, good memories

[reustle1]

I am so happy, its been years since I started looking for this title off and on.

Thanks for making it available

[HammerCharlesMartel]

Brilliant song

[yrmop]

Thank you genius Joe Jackson for bringing it to our world.Now is better everywhere.Look here,there'sbeauty!

[krycekification]

I've concieved several of my children with this song. Black, white, asian, puerto rican...look out when this baby making song is bumping.

[Curragao]

Mentality-thang for ur Musicians mate! Cheers!" ( Im gonna live forever)

[luvanmusicjz]

Thanks sooo much for sharing this!!! This absolutely made my terrible night a good one...well this and credit to Shazam for allowing me to find out who actually made it! LOL!

[ManilaSyndicate]

One of the archetypal New York songs and simply a standout. Warm and wonderful memories of listening to this song on the radio when it first came out as a prepubescent while driving around the Big Apple at night.

[WillHurricane]

@TheIncognito62 Nothing personal, but why the hell would you go to Austin Texas for Spring Break?

That town is like # 4,562 on the list of places to go for Spring Break.

LOL

[RayBB12836]

reminds me of vice city

[theslipknotfan111]

just reminds me of miami :S

[awwwyeaboyeeee]

Wow, that really looks like Jennifer Beals (3:15). She would have been pretty young. Maybe a year before Flashdance.

[DeckstarDeluxe]

Thumbs up if your getting tired of seeing people put comments saying I wish people would stop putting comments up to get thumbs up.

[mrknowitalllt1]

i wish i could experience the new york night life with this song playing all night long.

[thegeezerdan]

I think this is a mysterious song.

[ultraback29]

This video makes it feel it was quite an experience to go out or dream about going out in the town in Manhattan through Park Avenue back in those days. Even though there were like 500 murders a year. But still, life seemed better in those days.

[newmutants]

The Fab 80s !!!

[imajeepster]

I heart NY.

[dsm7051]

I remember hearing this in a bowling alley a few years ago. Shazaam could not come fast enough.

[Alavistaven2012]

THAT'S WHAT THIS SONG IS CALLED :|

[bondagebreaker7]

one of my favorite songs -- breaking us in two by joe jackson is good too

[thekoolaidman156]

[bigkest666]

God, i love NYC!!! ;)

[imajeepster]

[Prisionero886]

[GreatTasteInMusic]

The 3 people that dislike this are morons

[anadthebarbarian]

@GreatTasteInMusic

pretty much 

[Fennec2828]

@jonthediscobandit Thanx for posting this. It's great to see that video and to hear that song again!

[jrfuent]

Today I was the grocery store and over the speakers they were playing this song. I had completely FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT! It immediately took me back to my U days in the very early 80s here in Chicago. It 'll always remind me of a very good friend of mine at the time, Bernie. He said it was a very melancholy song. He and I have lost touch but this will make think of him.

[skillz7854]

Vice Cityy

[ltinsley2]

it's a cryin shame they dont make music like this anymore. it really is. thanks for posting. God bless

[therealjoebloggs]

Go ahead, someone tell me little eleven-year-old Joe Jackson of Portsmouth UK wasn't listening to Gary Lewis & the Playboys' "Count Me In" and "Green Grass" on the pirate broadcasts. PS he looks like Skeeve Buscemi with better teeth in some shots-- strange the Briton has better choppers.

[TheHi1968]

☆good☆

[TheLordofComedy]

I love this song. No matter what any one says Joe has a voice like no other.

[postyesterdayman]

@TheLordofComedy Andy Partridge is close. In think I think they are the same person.

[gfaverill]

i always thought the maid was hot!!!

[MrBazzabee]

Dear gfaverill It's not unbelievable that she was chosen for her looks as well as her acting ability !!!

[gijoe989]

joe jackson-stepping out, is beautiful.joe jackson is one of my favorite musicians. gi joe989

[butterflyb1996]

vice city :)

[onepoet63]

stil love to hear this song even after all these years. thanx for the share!

[tazer8000]

gta vice city brought me here..

[frapuccino123]

that song brings me nicest memories of my childhood, specialy my lovely grandpa who passed away some months ago. i miss you :(

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

@frapuccino123 Me too I remember my lovely summer holidays with my grandpa and grandma who have also passed away. I wish I could go back :(

[larmsanlu]

remember me in the summers in my child..

[DaveWollenberg]

Joe hit #6 in Billboard, 12-11-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[mrnathanLL]

thumbs up if you're just here cause it's a good song :)

[willE84]

@mrnathanLL Hell yeah it's a good song, but honestly GTA Vice City is what got me into it.

[TheRiceowlex]

@mrnathanLL Got ya, this and "Baker Street"..Two of my favorites

[Asianbeard]

@mrnathanLL just heard this on the radio now. Instantly fallen in love.

[acedaface954]

@mrnathanLL i know i am.

[nissexi]

I like this song

[jonthediscobandit]

Its on the radio at work. :)

[JeremyRemixes]

@jonthediscobandit at my work too... I work at a Subway and we have "Subway Radio". I hear the chimey chords and I smile... it makes me feel better about doing this kind of work... It is a great song!

[mate6mty]

I took a drive today, trying to emancipate. I guess it was the beatings ,made me wise.......lyrics come to mind

[XxXRammsteinxRoXxXxX]

i haven't even seen any stupid target commercials. not only do i rarely watch tv, but i certainly don't watch the commercials! what's wrong with you lol

[Hellfire5500]

good song of the 80's !!

[JesterofRejection]

i spent the first 14 years of my life looking for this sonc cuz i heard it once wen i was little. I finally found it when i was at the rock hall of fame in cleveland in this awsome restraunt with amazing pecan carmel silk pies. now im hungry!

[Bonemeal2]

@JesterofRejection I had the same thing with "America" by KBC Band. I only finally found it in Spring 2009. I remember calling the Star Station Network's on-air staff to find out who did this song, and even they didn't know. Turned out, my uncle was a Joe Jackson fan.

Night & Day - Perhaps one of the most understated and underrated albums to come from the 80's.

[WarrioroftheNight919]

Gta Vice City!!!! And a great episode from Nip/Tuck!! Simply excellent!

[duncanstpt]

Excellent.

[j0noStrIk3r]

To me this is what the department store santas should be playing at christmas time ;)

[codobac]

god been looking for a long time to here this song ty youtube

[MaceMn]

One of those tunes I loved the first time I heard it and that I still love all these years later. God I wish i was 22 again... damn.

[akinomzoe]

I was only 5 in '82, but I remember this song playing in my dad's El Camino. Timeless. It really makes me wanna go out and dance!

[moodieblue70]

This brings back some memories - I was a teenager when this song came out. When MTV actually played Music Videos!!!

[ghicaccatta]

immortal...

[jdog34505]

i automatically think of GTA Vice City when i hear this song:)

[Endisnigh666]

The bass line slays.

[CrAzY6666NiCk]

VICE CITY!!!!

[mrsmtnman]

Love the song & video! Just watched him perform this with The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon...fantastic!!! :)

[Endisnigh666]

@mrsmtnman No shit, I fell asleep in front of the tv and when it came on I woke right up. I miss the 80's.

[wickedOPS]

@mrsmtnman wow...thats exactly why i got on here to search for this song....it's so right,

[vzogv]

80's rock

[AOS1738]

Classic song from 1982 and his biggest hit. A will written song  and a great video to booth. I always get a kick out the flashing walk light at 2:13. they don't write many songs like anymore.

[shortfatanduglee1]

one of my top ten male singers.... great voice. thanks for posting

[juanbarros88]

this song has some lydian harmony in it.... that's what makes it sound so nice. A lydian and D lydian. love that raised 4th. hahaha

[juanbarros88]

I'm in love with this harmony now. before I knew about music, i listened to this song while playing GTA Vice City and it was nice, but now is great.

[japinthetree]

For some reason I hear this everytime I do late night grocery shopping or when I'm at an airport.

[oldjizzy]

Thumbsup if you remember driving your girl and friends in your Firebird between bars all night with this song kicking. That time was so great back then.

[codobac]

ty ty been looking for this song for yrs thanks love it love it GOD BLISS YOU TUBE !!!!!!!

[iwpreyg1001]

this vid brings chills to my skin, I love that era of my life when this song was all over radio and MtV

[jopez94585]

This was one of my favorite songs when I was growing up, surprised it doesn't get more radio play on the 80's stations these days. I used to play "Vice City" and cruise around in the lambo listening to this song.

[carlsberg72b]

Love, love, love it.... Class....

[xxdash07xx]

In my top 10 of all time fav 80s music..thanks for posting

[Gregorius1953]

This song inspired of lot of my own poetry. It gives me a feeling of transcendence that no other song can.

[Bagelboy615]

@Gregorius1953 Try listening to songs by Kenichiro Nishihara. ^_^

[Gregorius1953]

@Bagelboy615 I will give that a try for sure, thanks!

[TheCaptainLulz]

Ive been looking for this song for MONTHS!

[ronniedoll]

What a bassline!!!!!!!

[Englander30]

@ronniedoll 80s basslines are excellent in general. True, they were often done on a synth, but they're easily playable on a bass guitar.

I LOVE 80s MUSIC!

[Muffett53]

What a great simple song. The beat is so up. I love it. One thing for sure....I am in love. Working on building a great relationship with a great man. Our issue is distance. About 1500 miles. It's great to fall in love with someone who you can't touch yet. It builds on love not on sex. What a perfect way to start it. It has felt right since that first moment. This song gives that feeling. That freedom to feel that love. To feel total happiness. OH...I'm Genie. In love with rexrocknroll.

[wordsmystrys]

@Muffett53  I can certainly relate; with a special someone :o).

[Reneep34]

Early 80's, Acropolis Pizza on Westcott Street in Syracuse, NY with my friends, hearing this song!!

[juliekstroup]

Wow that dance scene is the mirror image of Al Pacino dancing with Michelle Phifeir (excuse sp) in scarface

[captaineasychord1]

One of the best songs of the '80s, and I'm not really a big '80s music fan. Probably because Joe Jackson himself was a musical misfit who never quite fit the mold of the times yet still managed to hit a chord with listeners. Anyway, this song not only epitomized the elegant charms of nighttime NYC, but also influenced me greatly as a performer and singer/songwriter myself.

[jwillis5039]

I want to go back to 1982, to be 23 again, great music, cheap gas, better tv programs, anyone else agree.

[dcflava74]

@jwillis5039 Hell yeah teh 80's rock, wont single out one year but the whole entire decade.Alot simpler back then,yeah we were caught in the mix of regannomics but its not at all like it is now.Musci was alot simpler and fun,creative.Some people may look at the music as being cheesy but it was a whole diffrent cheese.The cheesiness lies on more of creativity not cheesy is just nothing more than what it is.TV programs,Happy Days,Three's Company,Ateam Miami Vice,i can go on and on,80's ROCK!!!!

[jdbaes]

A great song, and one of the most clever and entertaining videos I ever saw, back in the late fall of `82. Thanks for the post.

[YOU2UUB]

those that voted this A-rated song THUMBS DOWN has taste between their TOES. JJ's piano playing is what really makes this song great. Music is what makes a song lyrics are the same but when you change the style of the music the song sounds entirely different. I have heard great songs but when the music was rearranged or alter to sound different the entire songs were horrible.

[YOU2UUB]

those that voted this A-rated song of all times has taste between their toes.

[gigga143]

i heard a snippet of the music on the Target commercial and i kept racking my brain trying to remember the song... i could remember the music perfectly but none of the lyrics till i hummed it to my mom. thanks for posting!!!

[jasonpp1973]

@gigga143 he also had a song called "Target"! It's the song before THIS ONE on the Night and Day LP!

[gigga143]

@jasonpp1973 really??? i'll have to look that up.

[bd9299292]

One of the greatest songs ever.

[THESECURITYSERGEANT]

Thumbs up if you're here because of the Target commercial featuring it at the end. This damn song is infectious! Been running through my head for days now. =)
