  • CAMEO = One of the best R&B groups of all time. Nobody was like them then and will never be again. One of the first to kind of bring the "Rock and Roll" attitude to R & B!

  • Out of all their hits, this has gotta be my favorite Cameo song!

  • He is saying she is strange but I think he's confused cuz I haven't seen him make one "normal" video himself...that dude is "STRANGE" Lol

  • scarface ps2

  • Back when I was in the middle of the 7th grade at I.S. 74,I saw this video on New York Hot Tracks on the early Saturday morning of March 17,1984 as The Hot Pick of The Week on ABC-TV(channel 7).

  • THEY ARE SO GAY. BUT,I DON'T CARE.

  • SHE'S STRANGE.............

  • LOL @ I LOVEOLESCHOOL... EVERY WORD IS SO TRUE....

  • Scarface game song

  • And i ike IT!!!

  • this video is kinda weird......but good ol school music!!!!

  • i grew up with songs like this and still lovin da OL SKOOL JAMS

  • i love the "rap" in the beginning

  • This song been sampled so many times that how u know its a classic. big Moe g strangz, nate dogg , pac, the list goes on

  • So what's the deal with the stepping on the tube of toothpaste? They use that visual several times and for some reason, it's hot!

  • Who is the lady with the yellow slik head wrap on...at 1:25 and why is her eye's blacked out? Wait is that Grace Jones? 2:03

    

  • Who is the lady with the yellow slik head wrap on...at 1:25 and why is her eye's blacked out?

  • She's tackey, and mitch matching...

  • i thought i had forgotten this song. its been over 20 years. i must have had the record and didnt even know it. cameo did wear these clothes for fun, to attract people. i remember when we first saw him that he just made fun of michael jackson.dont forget this. when you younger people listen to a song dont just draw conclusions so easily. travel in time and you will understand each artist. thats what i always do.

  • what was the 2pac song called again with this beat

  • @2pacalypse91 Young Nigga, I was just thinking this same question myself.

  • @TurnerGangMusic that was my shit...Pac could pick just the right music

  • @2pacalypse91

    Young Niggaz from " me against the world" ;)

  • SHE SURE IS STRANGE ALRIGHT

  • There are some memorable shots in here that I still remember to this day. toothpaste and birthday cake are two of them. Cameo was the OutKast of the Eighties, and then some.

  • These guys were like if OutKast went back to the 80's in a time machine.

  • Classic

    

  • very sophisticated

  • @QuanSai funny right?

  • "She's bittersweet and a taco treat."

  • Synthesized or not....THE DRUMMING ON THIS SONG IS EPIC.... "And I like it!" One of the baddest songs ever made. It just flows. "And I like it!"

  • Cameo sporting a mullet!! Nice! He looks  a member of DeBarge....

  • I love this song!Great beat can't nothing touch it!She's Strange and Back and Forth brings back  great memories.

  • this is great but THE best cameo song ever is "alligator woman" but haven't been able to find it. if anyone out there can locate it, please share!! thank you!

  • She's strange...but not as strange as that mustache :)

  • The is a bad ass jam, what else is there to say.

  • "She's reached distinction from head to toe" CLASSIC!!!

  • Is that Jamie Lee Curtis @ 1:48?

  • Comment removed

  • @supertruckertom - no it isn't...

  • STRANGE.............OWWW....

  • How can you tell a true Cameo fan? Simple- "Word Up" and "Candy" are their least favorite songs!!!

  • @MyJunior1975 Damn Junior , couldn't say it better . I always liked Rigor Mortis and Post morteum Better , they are less commercial , FUNKIER and why the main stream sheep conditioned to simple riffs bought into Word Up more . I worked in Radio and it's one of the most controlled , devious businesses around .

    Good Luck , Keep it Funky !

  • @franz909 I have nothing against the people who like the Cameo's later years (the mid 80's, be exact), but nothing is messing with their catalogue of songs from "Cardiac Arrest" to "Alligator Woman". People who are true Cameo fans know this.

  • Tech N9ne sampled this...

  • LiSA SMG

  • 2pac-Young Niggaz

  • @MKUltra3....this is no tranny hunting music, it's real music something you might not know about. Just wait one day we will see all kind of comments about the way Nelly and Lil Wayne dress because too me it's strange but I realize that it's their way of dressing and expressing themselves in different videos. Yet when it comes to those pants hanging off your azz now that is real gay. What real man would walk around exposing his asshole, only one that is inviting another man into it.

  • @ILoveOleSchool

    lol!!!

  • @ILoveOleSchool You're right. This is just how we did things in the 80's. I love this tune. Note the lyrics though: In room 123, she elusive you see, like the invisible man in drag,

    Cameo reminds me of just how fun that decade was.

  • @ILoveOleSchool I agree with that comment. Men wearing pants down their asses are gay. Boys out there are dumb to act the way they act. Hip-Hop looks dead.

  • @ILoveOleSchool i Love Hip-hop and REJECT that bulshit off tha ass hangin jeans/pants whatever,i wear baggy,no dought about it but never the "come stretch tha bung hole" slacks!! Suprised yo comment doesnt have like a hundred plus "likes"...well mine u'll be the 23rd then!!

  • @ILoveOleSchool Amen my brotha! Real talk.

  • She screams and I like it.

  • str8 gangsta shit

  • this sounds like tranny-hunting music to me.

  • .... and i like it

  • This song reminds me of when I was stationed in Camp Lejeune, used to go to the e-club at Camp Geiger or the Air station (one of those) . Good old days.

  • @TheBipolarGemini It's called a codpiece. Dunno why. :)

  • 1:26 i thought that was amber rose

  • At 1:43 that woman looks like she shaving her face. Because she has shaving cream on her face. That's strange. It's the first time I've seen this video. I love the song.

  • "She's Strange" and a Lady Gaga promotion is no coincidence!

  • 10 people don't feel tha funk

  • chkout the crazy slideshows above!!!

  • larry was sexy with his curl!!!!!

  • The poor tooth paste,lol. The mom jeans, the jerry curls.....them were the good ole days !!!

  • i would blast this song on my pioneer indash in my 1971 dodge polara blowing nothing but weed smoke out of it ...mannn i loooved it

  • @robjay87 LOL!

  • This is such a heavenly song dat everytime I hear it I have 2 stop whatever I'm doing & go smoke some herb with it.

  • i'm strange :) and i LOVE this song!

  • Cameo really threw a curve ball on us when they broke out onto the music scene with these hits (word up, attack me with your love, candy, etc.). The thing went futuristic funk cabaret sitcom theatrical offbeat surreal dance jam. It just hit us from out of nowhere and never looked back. Can dance in all kinds of ways to this strange brew. Leave the planet for awhile.

  • this is the fuckn jam!!!!!!

  • Oh my goodness Larry is working those jeans.

  • reminds me of the game scarface selling coke good times

  • and i like it......

  • this is a great throwback!!!!!

  • this is that music you listen to aat night cruzin winodws open lol

  • So does vevo own all of Cameo's videos or what?!

  • @jd7779311 Basically every video from 1980 until 1990. They were signed to Mercury Records, which is owned by Universal Music Group- one of the two label conglomerates responsible for VEVO.

  • @MyJunior1975 Thank you. I STILL hate Vevo.

  • @jd7779311 VEVO isn't so bad. I mean, you get to see a lot of old school music videos that are uploaded in high quality straight from the source- the record company. Granted, the commercials are a bit much, but in order to enjoy them for free, I understand them being put there. Keep in mind, MTV's website mtvmusic.com also had commercials shown before their videos- at least before Universal Music Group pulled all their videos from MTV the day after the MTV Music Videos last year, LOL!!!

  • @MyJunior1975 What you neglect to mention is that VEVO IE:UMG deleted hundreds of thousands of perfectly good quality videos people had independentley uploaded with no commercial intent

    so they are not doing us any favour, alot of people have access to high quality source material which they could upload but the scum VEVO Will not allow FUCK VEVO UMG SCUMBAGS

  • @MyJunior1975 LOL!!

  • Wish they made tunes like this still 8)  , If ya like this try Mtume, SOS band, still play this tune all the time and love it to death.
