Billy Crystal - You Look Marvelous (1985)

[HouseofWurmstein]

"Dancing to me is like standing still, only faster."

[QuesterJon]

Just got to love this song. Billy Crystal is Marvelous.

[vjmeht]

What the hell is that at 0:47 - 0:49?!

[tinafan80]

@vjmeht His impression of Grace Jones.

[94cadillacfleetwood]

oh look..there's Sting lookingfor his last name in the dip! lmaooo

[ritche89]

Grace Jones...Humongous! LOL

[seanr456]

@peacelovebeachyygirl

Hey, now! I'm probably the same age as your dad, and I assure you when this came out, it was funny as hell. I tell you, everyone was going around saying, 'You look mahvelous!' :)

[journey2boston]

@peacelovebeachygirl haha :D

[DMashakUSA]

There was an entire Crystal Comedy Routine called "You look Mahvelous" It included, I hate when that happens, grandpa made you wait on the B in Bastard, liver spots bursting onto my skin, and his first dating experience with a policemans daughter... The womans sound is "When?" and the guys sound is "Now baby, Now"

Does Anyone know where i can find this routine? DMashak@aol.com

[journey2boston]

@peacelovebeachygirl gotta love all those parents who try so desperately to be "cool" by quoting the '80's. lol i adore my parents' quirkiness.

[CheeryToes]

@peacelovebeachyygirl oh dear, I just did that to my niece! lol



[SuperJerkyBoys]

He made Fernado Lamas life a living hell.

[AKKodiak1969]

@SuperJerkyBoys Fernando Lamas died before Billy Crystal created the character....so how exactly did he make Fernando Lamas' life a living hell?

[SuperJerkyBoys]

@AKKodiak1969 You don't know what you're talking about asswipe/

[AKKodiak1969]

@SuperJerkyBoys Oooh i've been insulted on the internets.

[anotherblueskittle]

He waz just talking the whole time....What waz so great about it?

[PegBundysMan]

@anotherblueskittle You had to be there, SNL in 1985.

[journey2boston]

@peacelovebeachyygirl - same here! sort of... i had a picture up on fb and my stepmom commented "You rook mahhhhhhvelous!" and i did NOT get it... until i saw this!

[juliadennehy]

Who was in high school when this was popular? ;-) So glad I was!

[tomtrh]

@juliadennehy I was in high school when this was hot!!! :)

[jazlynv123]

The beggining is cut too, it's all good yo, this stuff is hard to find. From what I hear it was hot back then for a whole season worth. Club it, people will dance to it - We be clubbin'!!

[AnimeCharley]

Thanks for posting this, but why is the ending cut?

[peachkim]

The 80s was WONDERFUL!

[wheresthebeeph]

@peachkim No, they were MARVELOUS!

[mkworkman]

March 14, 1948: birth of Billy Crystal, American actor and comedian; in the critical and box office successes When Harry Met Sally... [1989] and City Slickers [1991]. He has hosted the Academy Awards eight times.

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@mkworkman You forgot to mention the breakout character he played on the sitcom "Soap".

[SydTheScarecrow]

So great... "Look at me dancing around in there!"

[missBrightsky1978]

hei at 2.36-2.52 the tall woman with billy..is that brenda strong???? pleasssssssseeeeeeee answeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[tembeckchigan]

@missBrightsky1978 yea i think it is...

[missBrightsky1978]

@tembeckchigan thanks! she look so beautiful and tall !!!!!

[vetb882]

God bless the freaks...BC is a comedy freak. :-)

[JustJim70118]

"Madonna?" "Madonna's belly button is absolutely mahvelous!"

Damn! '80s music was so fabulous!

[shmuli9]

I remember this song AND skit "YoulLook mahvellous" became a sort of catchphrase, like "where's the beef?". After I've finished watching this, I'm going to look for the Lorenzo Lamas song that was popular right around the same time.

[doneoj]

this is dedicated to carmen!

[Fun4theFeet]

WHAT, please buy my shoes “onesole.com”

[PGRJohnnyD]

It's how you rook! One of the best SNL skits ever.

[sodocharty]

Marvelous!

[sodocharty]

A marvelous must see from 1985!

[jillysworld]

I love this....Billy you are the best ever!!!!!

[NoJamOnYourBread]

Mahvelous

[radioscillator]

"Like your Eddie Van Heflin...(Van Halen...) ...whatever." XD hahaha!

[AtGiza]

Aah yes the eighties, a horrifying decade.

Crap pop music, crappy glamrock and hairbands.

A lot of good comedians and some decent doom rock music.

Not to forget some very funny movies, like national lampoon's national vacation.

And all the drugs you could ever want in Miami. Wooo!!!

[borzoix4]

Love this video- and totally classic! Bill Crystal is a riot!

[thejumpsuitman]

Good memories. It seemed so funny at the time.  Now...eh?

[dcgj45]

I look marvelous!

[saltydawg29]

lol....I loved fernando...cause it is better to look good than to feel good...mahvelous

[Od3tt301]

His impersonation of Fernando Lamas is absolutely Mahvelous, Dahling!!!

[Od3tt301]

This is funny!

[sorazgurl]

I love Billy Crystal, but I don't know why. :)

[Jauly]

the video is nice, but I prefer the dub version for the clubs...

[roachqueen32]

9 people gave this thumbs down? Why?

[SteelyMcBeam75070]

it cracks me up! Billy Crystal is still a trip and he needs to go back to hosting the Academy Awards!

[bigwillietheb]

where is the rest of the video

[cjs33139]

Does Billy dress up as Tina Turner or is that a female impersonator?

[VocalEdgeTV]

I had no idea this existed! Awesome.

[TheJaguarJulie]

"Throw your hips into the air! My darling, you look marvelous!" ... ah ah ah, thank you, thank you very much!

No no no .... YOU my dear .... YOU look absolutely marvelous!

[louderthanlars]

"Oh look, there's Sting looking for his last name in the dip!'

[BigFatLoserDude]

""Appleonia ? "..."Hitler"" LOL!

[sextilis]

@BigFatLoserDude  actually, .... it "ditto"

[Alecssei3]

"I am what Love is all about... I've got American teeth and a Spanish mouth" ... genius

[Alecssei3]

"I am what Love is all about... I've got American teeth and a Spanish mouth" ... genius

[lhorrnna]

Like this video

[beepopalula]

I love Billy Crystal !!!!!!!!!!

[itotallyown13]

For all my friends having birthdays  or just enjoying another day God has given us!!!

[DADDII2]

I remember when this first came out and the SNL skits, I thought then and still think that Billy Crystal was MAHVELOUS!

[creamyitalian]

"It is better to look good than to feel good!"

[ysbaddaden2003]

One of the dumbest bits ever on Saturday Night Live.

And unfortunately since this third cast it's been getting steadily worse.

[zitalee2]

was billy crystal an original snl cast member?

[Nitro1970]

@zitalee2 - No, I think all of the original players had left by this time....Billy was never an official cast member, he was a quest member, same as Steve Martin

[773SleepyHollow]

@Nitro1970 You're mistaken... Billy was an official cast member during the 1984-85 season, along with his pals (and fellow established stars) Martin Short, Harry Shearer, and Christopher Guest.

[Nitro1970]

@773SleepyHollow - Yeah, You're right. The old memory must be going Haha

[773SleepyHollow]

@Nitro1970 LOL... well if I thought I was losing my memory every time I forgot something, I would have had full-onset Alzheimer's by the time I was 10 or so...

[Nitro1970]

@773SleepyHollow - *LMAO* I hear ya

[KOSMICKEN09]

I've been watching 'SNL' since I was a kid, the 84-85 season w/ Billy is still my fave, can't wait for that to come out on dvd in a few years!

[SFFOOL76]

That was a great crew that year.

[lordarion1]

Mine is:

"Dancing to me is like standing still, only faster..."

Who else would come up with that?!? :-D

-Ciao, I Got To Mambo!-

[Gav329217]

a young Brenda Strong

[kd4adv]

Notice the girls dancing with the infamous "cone bras" that Madonna would later use in her "Blonde Ambition" phase.

[TheSteverino1]

I remember this when it came out..its still hilarious...Billy Crystal also does a killer impression of Sammy Davis

[harlon57]

By the way, this character is based on the real Fernando Lamas, father of Lorenzo Lamas.

[wigglywoman]

@harlon57 I bet Fernando told him that each time he does his father in the skits,write out a big check to him.

[harlon57]

wigglywoman: I think you probably meant that Lorenzo asked for a big check each time Crystal did an impression of his father, Fernando.

Only thing is that they don't have to pay for a likeness used in satire.

[wigglywoman]

@harlon57 LOL.Thank you for correcting me.I keep getting the father and son mixed up a lot and I am not alone.

[wigglywoman]

@harlon57 I bet if the father was alive and see the skits he would get a good laugh.

[phreekbaby]

So question...whos fernando n son that he imitates?

[quarqill]

I bet the son and family told Billy to make out a big check to them for merchandising off Fernando's image.

[harlon57]

quarqull

You would lose the bet. The wife didn't mind at first, and neither did the son, but they tired of it.

They never asked for cash, and had no right to it.

[jackgreenwald72]

i love this song and the video is almost better

[Atta30040]

No favs. Always have loved the entire video and Billy Crystal. Adding Fernando Lamas to that short list.

[latinagrl72]

My favorite part: "I am what love is all about

I've got American teeth

And a Spanish mouth" I love it!

And also: "I love you young people today

With your rock and roll

Like an Eddie Van Heflin

(Van Halen) whatever".

I forgot how funny this was!

[brandyrun]

look at me dancing in there... I look marvelous!

[Millst0ne]

My fav 1:45

[irishmermaid4]

Let's Mingle! Fall down damn funny! Love you, Billy!

[bigmikeyy]

"I'll put on my Spider Man pajamas".....classic...LOL

[orangeviolins]

Sshhhhweeeet!!!

[BritishBabe1995]

hahaha thats soo funny :L

[thepaddywagonishere]

I love this video! I remember when it came out!

[TheWhatsinaname]

@thepaddywagonishere I still have the 45 rpm of this song. I just had to buy it when I first heard that summer of 1985 when I was 21 years old. It was a fun song to hear out by the pool with shades on. Of course the title of this vid. should be listed on youtube as: "You Look Mahvelous!" And I just wish we had the whole version of this vid., it cuts off. My favorite part of it is still on:

[TheWhatsinaname]

@TheWhatsinaname Oh, look! There's Sting looking for his last name in the dip. LOL!

[seanr456]

@TheWhatsinaname

"Darling, let's go back to my place, and we'll do things I'm going to tell my friends we did, anyway".

I love that. I even stole it and use it as a joke myself even to this day.

[bradmedicus]

Marvelous

[Angryjolly]

lolololol

[Shaun17170]

MAAAAVELOUS!

[GeminiNightOwl]

Beyond hysterical - simply Maahvelous...lol

[brandyrun]

julia,

this is from my heart which is deep inside my body,

you look marvelous!

coro

[JackCoxx]

Mahvelous!

[turtlenytro]

Billy Crystal comedy = Unfunny GARBAGE. I have never even cracked a smile at this unfunny hack.....ever. How is he even still around? Please just go away Billy. Please

[superbadlucre]

You are a raaaabid anti-semite.

[metropolis9999]

where can i find the actual SNL clip where Fernando Lamas is like to some person in a flannel shirt I Well I must say- You look Mahvelous!

[beaagent29p]

Can't begin to tell you how much money I spent in the video jukebox for this along with Taco..lol

[LogInAnders]

Why didn't you use YOUTUBE.

2009, DUH!

[beaagent29p]

Hey stupid ass, this was back in 1985/84 time frame. Just remembering the old times.

[Kukojin]

DUDE! I remember video jukes! They should sell those! I love the 80's!

[MARKD1979]

ARTHUR BAKER produced this song! 1985

[Shelled]

Her bellybutton is absoultely mahvelous!

[luciemarie323]

Iv'e got american teeth and a spanish mouth! hilarious...........

[VoiceOfReasonQQ]

please!

hold me while i tango!

;-)

[lizard218]

You'll put on soft music. I'll put on my Spider Man pajamas.

[hardcider09]

The video was cut off.  He goes on to say, "...and I'll do things to you...I would tell my friends we did anyway."

LOL! Hilarious!

[greaterthenlife]

i never got the part where he says 'oh look there's Sting looking for his last name in the dip' but regardless, that was funny although I do like Sting :)

[SonnyPhono2]

Aaron Sobeski is a nerd

[FunkyDL]

The song itself was written by Paul Schaeffer.

[Palexa39757]

Lorenzo, the son, was a total heart throb for the girls until this song came out. Not sure what made the difference. Great tonic for the funny bone:)

[jakobfrederik]

Dancing is like standing still, only faster. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. True, true.

[jakobfrederik]

This MARVELLOUS ! OH YEAH BABY !

[cornhuskerejt]

I had forgotten how funny the video is.

[MissTwix]

yes i remember this one...back in the day!

[bistroguitarfilms]

nando, dont be a shnook, its how you feel not how you look!

[LOVEandnoregrets]

he says its not how you feel its how you look ?

you said the opposite.

[thethirdgeorge]

I laughed so hard that I almost wet myself.

[Legendhouse]

Wow! Flashback!

[billinsocal]

I remember watching Billy doing Hernando on SNL when Hulk Hogan and Mr. T was on. It was totally funny. Billy, you are mahvelous.

[guely55]

Ciao! I got to mambo!

[FessdapFrisc]

Billy IS marvelous!

[AuroraBorealisAK]

[goodbadandguywitgun]

[MARKD1979]

Produced and mixed by arthur baker!

[VICTORGREYWOLF]

he looks mahvelous, absolutely mahvelous

[winiwalt306]

And we will do things that....I can't remember the rest.

[VICTORGREYWOLF]

I will tell my friends we did anyway

[kcbrettfan2007]

I used to watch SNL back when he joined the cast. I was only 4. Parents would tape it and I would watch. Too bad I never kept the tapes and the beta max went dead in 1999.

[DaviDaviDavi37]

That guy sounds like the cartoon character Don Karnage.

[muskratkippy]

"I love dancing... dancing to me is like standing still... only faster". What a mahvelous line. The shots of Sammy and Tina are tooooo funny also.

[Yesimustbestupid2]

Sting is still looking for his last name in the dip! (Like that look he gives Billy). -:)

[wormhole]

Mahvelous!

...except that there is a full minute missing.

(the neon sign that says 'Fernando's Hideaway'

, the knock on the door with the round hole:

"what's the password?" "Mahvelous" at the begining, and the continuation of the banter at the end.)

I found the 4:11 complete video on Yahoo, but

it doesn't load but rather streams, and there is not a .flv link available of that video, but somehow, if I at all can I will find a way to upload the COMPLETE video HERE.

(wish me luck!)

[alankendrick]

Great video - I remember watching this in college. That girl with the glasses and hat is wild!

[glasswinder]

That was Marvelous.

[Maestrojosh87]

Bring those legs (and the rest of your body) over here, and be Nando's private prancer!

[matthew871]

always hated that guy

[luckyvet]

I remember personally saying "you look marvelous" over 34000 times as a kid.

[BiffBallbag]

yeah, i remember being there at 17,642 times for it.

[mrgumby42000]

Does this remind anybody of "Elektronik-Supersonik" by Zlad? Hehe. I love Billy :)

[peony740]

hah... zlad.

[patitas4]

Hello,

I love this song, does anybody have the 'extended version' of this song? Would you mind posting it?. Many thanks.

Oscarito46

[hsswthearts]

Super flashback-thanks!!!

[Joecool72]

This is just too cool! Glad to see it show up here after being hidden away for so long! Fernando and Billy are two of my all time favorites!

[jimzvid]

Unfortunately, the beginning and end of this is cut off. The beginning had someone (Crystal?) knocking on a door giving a password of "marvelous" to gain entry to a nightclub. The ending showed "Fernando" riding in a loooong stretch limo with a hot tub. I think both parts were in color,as well. Still GREAT-haven't seen this in 22 years!! Thank you!!!

[getabox]

And as I recall, there was something about Bert Convy still hosting "Tattle Tales."

[pkentwilson70]

I also remember the Bert Convy/Tattletales line at the very end. Near the end, I recall something about when the Cabbage Patch Kids grow up, will they be confused that these people are not their real parents, and something about a train leaving Chicago at 11 a.m. in the morning with 5,000 pounds of fish, and a train leaving Phoenix at the same time...

[rosaire0]

Really funny... Nice girls. Thank you!

[Synesthete78]

I had never seen the video or heard the song before. Not bad!

[bignsmall6]

When Hulk Hogan & Mr T was on SNL with Billy Crystal is a classic!
