Patrick Hernandez - Born to be alive 2004

[yukons95]

official gay pride song!

[1952japan]

Un ritmo che ha fatto la storia della musica anni70' ed è straordinario ancora oggi.

Lady Gaga datte na lavata poi vedemo che sai fa !!!

[Focusyn]

He looks like Tony Iommi

[sassiesoo]

I think he actually performs this better than in the early days. He is more animated and entertaining.....so what he has a few grey hairs, come to us all! Good editing by the way!

[charlitaker]

good song

[soariza]

Bons tempos da "DISCO" muito bom pra quem viveu naquela epoca 'Born to be alive pra todos.

[gaiska100]

Good times those, it brings back many memories.

[alessandra19811]

is this for real the same guy from the '70's?!

[DanKelso]

I have never actually seen Patrick Hernandez sing this song live

He always lip syncs. 

[j0nk0movies]

good playbacking patrick good for you

[Guhnify]

@xBlackout718x you dont know anything about nazis, nazis sucks but the guys you mean dont suck.... you see the differences?!

[Jormondor95]

playback lol

[bananarific22]

it's 2004 and he's still got the cane!

[xBlackout718x]

those two guys were probably nazis.

[xBlackout718x]

those two guys are really weird and annoying.

[chipmonkette]

I would've shaken what Mama gave all over him for that song!!!!!!!! Damn him, he GAVE me Disco.. Long live shakin' it!!!! XX

[Alexo190]

Jolie Play back...

[falamarla]

Esta música é dos bons tempos da discoteca. 

[RomanJockMCO]

I just love the energy associated with this song. this live version is the best i've heard. anyone know if it can be downloaded? just makes me want to get up and, um, boogie! :o)

[olivman1]

les années 1980 ne doivent pas disparaître, ce serait du gâchis,

[PokerJoker3]

what the point to bring back the original artist just to have him LIP SYNC his song!?? I mean how gay

[Mr100159]

Memories of my brother Douglas,. paying the disc jockey to play this song at the Hamburger Hamlet on a Saturday night. Doug shaking his ass.....priceless.

[JermimaSweet]

Tke me back to 1979

[kalamargigante374]

The pimp cane!!!, je je. Great song with madona doing background chorus. Only bad thing on this video are those two gay assholes acting like doing voices.

[silo3849]

@kalamargigante374  yea ur right...i think i did hear madona...she's the one with the deep voice !!! he he.

[leela194]

I wish I lived in the 70's

[swollenuvula]

Never put that pimp cane down, Patrick. Never.

[TheBasjew]

Playback!

[Vavazelus]

Whats the point of these two fags pushing their mugs on screen?

[bshirah]

@Vavazelus Because they were born to be alive, of course!

[sswemmer]

27 people rather masturbate...

[xY00xH00x]

I was the disco queen at that time :))

[sswemmer]

@xY00xH00x I wish I knew you at that time because THAT is some awesome asskicking music my friend....

[xY00xH00x]

@sswemmer - Well, maybe in another lifetime we can meet:)) The music - still awesome.

[sswemmer]

@xY00xH00x will see then :) awesome

[sswemmer]

[greek8goddess]

[cfpauloc]

Patrick Hernandez - Born to be alive 2004

[mkbrown1433]

Ok if you are here. I am positing the question whether you hear some of this song being sampled in the new GAGA video "Born This Way". Think I do, but I could just be getting old... :)

[kahetel13]

@mkbrown1433 it adds to lady Gaga and i do think the Gag in the name Gaga fits:) alot of the younger teens and many past our generation love these songs oh, and heres a common complaint; "i wish i was born during this time" or, "why is music from my time not like this?" this goes for the 80s especially. i think whats finally getting old is the sense of stupidity and lack of fun in whats considered "young and new music". so yeah im with ya on that !:)

[n0gar]

He actually ooks cooler here than when the cut was out. It is a timeless cut that you never get tired of hearing for some odd reason.

[eresuntont]

what a gay!

hahaha

Song for homosexuals

[nelizmastr]

@eresuntont if this song is homosexual, then you are something even worse.

[primehunter44]

@eresuntont Fuck you man You don't Know what real Music is!

[DJFG85]

Best disco song recorded. Wish pop was still this great!

[tommieparch]

@DJFG85 agreed

[tommieparch]

@DJFG85 part 2 .. listen to happy radio by edwin starr, /second best

[TheSpanishboi]

the deal with the two bald dudes is a statement, it goes like this; "Look at us, we, are this song's real generation" that's what it means, if you are 40 or 45 u know what I'm talking about

[TheZiele56]

What's the deal with those two anoying dudes. They schould be cut out.

[traceone100]

Good greif you would think after 25 yrs he would get rid of that damn cane lol!!!!

[DRdijtjes]

dit heb ik van nicht rijder

[Gyroglle]

Da's toch de village people.

[sylicone221]

he got fat? what happened? heheee

[GODDAMNSASQUATCH]

Lip syncing?

[5tonyvvvv]

@GODDAMNSASQUATCH no more cocaine..he looks ok..great song classic

[tanyatmr]

Good grief 32 years already?

[xxDesman67xx]

I used to be a DJ in a dance club and a strip club,,This song played and the dance floor was packed,,people would request this song 5-6 times a night,,,,1 of the best songs of that decade,,,,,

[DrugPoznan]

Playback :/

[Spandau1945]

This never fails to make me smile and that guitar riff...fab!!! A time when wearing spandex leotards was socially acceptable!!! (well it was 1979 and nobody knew any better)

[realfunny7]

1979 the best year i had in vegas - this song brings it all back

[Wingchunskunk]

see i love music before the 1990's why the fuck am i in this justin biber era

[MumboJumboisallitalk]

@Wingchunskunk - That is why u like Wang Chung, with a name like that!

[medal8]

SUPER !

[fashandchaps]

I just wish he'd trust his voice as opposed to reverting to rhyme.

but then...

Who gives a sh%#

ITS GOOD TO BE ALIVE!!!!!!!!

[redknitter1946]

Ah the wonderful memories!!!

[silverhawkroman]

oh yeah i know this program, they revisit the biggest hits back in the day, and invite those artists to play that known song in their program. absolutely insane!

[JaireyWaal]

wow, he became very old! :O

[jimnado1]

@JaireyWaal of course he's older idiot!

[231johnjohnson]

thumbs up if you find those two guys annoying.

[CFPChrisLP]

@231johnjohnson They are german comedians called Wigald Boning and Bernhard Hoëcker. They have to be annoying :P

[231johnjohnson]

@CFPChrisLP well if they are germans then it's all right

[abrahampetit]

When he was 20 he seemed to be gay, gay to be alive!, now that he is 60 he looks like a sugar daddy, a sugar daddy to be alive!

[popazz1]

Oh my good god,well,that's 3minutes30seconds I'll never get back,lol.Thanx to my friend,who shall remain nameless for sending me this link,NOT! And I take it the 2 muppets gurning directly at the camera were the hosts of this drivel,yes?! And WHO was the horror in the satiny lime-green jacket,with frizzy rust-coloured hair,and Timmy Mallet specs? Jeeze,gonna be seeing him each time I close my eyes,lol! Good to see Mr Hernandez again though,so it wasn't all bad,I think!

[Rogersocal]

I think he looks better now...Let's face it- the music of the late 70's was awesome, but the styles....not so much ! Nice to see him looking well and stylish ! Such a timeless song. I had the "45" when I was a kid.

[dawood88]

25 peoples were never born

[johnfudencio]

@dawood88 they were but are benassi's fans!!!!

[rtsd11]

@dawood88 26 now en 565 nowand now 566

[1939PlymouthRatRod]

@dawood88, people with stupid remakes like you should have not been born.

[dawood88]

@1939PlymouthRatRod What The Fuck are you talking about , fuckface ?

[ulrich894]

nice and legendary song

[ulrich894]

his voice did"t change

[SecretTimeWarp]

@ulrich894 Well, I'm sure it did.... this is just the 1979 version, sped up. He's lipsynching to his younger voice. (Every artist I've seen on this show does that.)

[immunocop]

Oh, yeah... Patrick Hernandez is the only person around who's aged and doesn't look like he did in 1979... I'm sure all you music critics haven't aged a day in 30 years and are still as trim and good looking as you were when Carter was president... God only knows what you people see when you look in the mirror...

[LSBonnPower]

@immunocop I know right. Critics these days are with no brains. I wouldn't even recognize him anymore lol

[OmairMyHeart]

@immunocop And how many 55 year-olds can still move like that? :-)

[gahloot]

Now he looks like a fat no talent George Michael!

[Feisty1967]

Good to see him again, I trust he is still alive today?

[jusbarrymanagain]

I think 1979 is the last time I heard this song.I had alot of fun at the disco's when i was a kid.There was only one 1979 it was so good I forgot most it.I remember Young St though.That was fun

[Kevin323gaw]

Thumps UP People.

[axelnemeth]

Now he looks like the King of Pimp.

[memomota]

[browneyedgirl1967]

You just gotta get up and move when this one comes on! What a great song. Dance floor, roller rink, who cares. Just play it. All I know is that this house is a'rockin' when this one is played.

[donnycarrin3d]

He has aged really well. What a hunk!

[Corman38]

awesome roller skating tune!!its still played where i skate.its awesome to jive wit like 15 other ppl around you.great song

[UndergroundWorlds]

24 people are tone deaf

[MrJAYJAY3046]

OH GREAT SONG

[bigroy1019]

Let me tell you all something, being a former 80's DJ from Chicago, when I played this song, I packed the floor and the dance floor would go up for grabs, damn those were the days

[Zeno0010]

@bigroy1019 thats the biggest win i herd all day =3

[thevmanvj]

@bigroy1019 I totally agree. I was a DJ when Patrick released this timeless disco classic in 1979. I can still hear the "Clap Track".

[tommieparch]

@bigroy1019 i was there in the chicago discos with you! this song & happy radio, people ran over you to get to the dance floor! where the hell did the last 30 years go? disco demolition at sox park, was just 30,000 guys that could not dance, i dont see many chicks on that footage! still had zep on in the car on 8track tho, hey theres room for all music thats the best thing!

[ztockholm]

@bigroy1019

This one, La dolce vita and Pop muzic...

[kahetel13]

@bigroy1019 I miss those days too and from the looks of it, seems the younger generation are even wishing to have those kinds of days too

[kelownacylw]

@bigroy1019

Ya you got that right! I am a child of the 70s never a better time to be on a dance floor...I miss those days!

[Blownwillyscoupe]

Holy crap the Ronco Clapper that is hooked to my light is going on and off like a strobe light.

[AnnHattieAnn]

@Blownwillyscoupe I laughed SOoOo hard when I read your comment... XD

[irishvan]

LIP SYNC!!!!!

[AnnHattieAnn]

@irishvan sad, but true ... *sigh*

[AUTORECOVERYUK]

Disco music never died it just went under ground till You Tube brought it back... Great video Great song Great years i miss so so much.

[Lesrevesdhiver]

I had not heard this in years until one day recently on the radio. I remember when I was a kid like around 1983 they played this at the skate rink a lot.

[SNOOPYDE817]

This song is just indescribable.

[mankind844]

Oh Yes Two steps from you house

Youre Crazy Fool

[iosip3]

una delle piu' belle canzoni di sempre!!

[unkilwolf]

dam....my feet are twitching to dance...ahhh wut the hell...DANCE....YA GO PAT

[roflikFBR]

0:31 wtf? remi gaillard?

[Qrysis]

@roflikFBR it's Mario Barth - a german comedian :D

[yopcoy]

beautyful boy...beautyful man

[cavalo60]

augio das discoteca em boa lembrança

[donthaveoneable]

he's on facebook ! add him everyone!!

[carbonplastic]

I think maybe he says "opposed to buy, buy, buying" not "it was no bind bind bind" I can't tell if he's saying buy or bind, but he's not saying "it was no" . Either way, this seems to be a song about freedom from posessions. Ironic that The Material Girl was involved. As I recall the Material Girl song was the first Disco song that really pissed a lot of people off.

[drogato6]

ya esta ruco :D

[MsNcross]

Great song!Thanks for sharing from Argentina!

[jude2005386]

The beginning is a jam...

[raisetheflag88]

I wish the vid wasnt so centered on those two idiots who are mocking the song. I t should be more centered on Patrick. Still a fun song!!

[DancingFalcons]

What is with the two duded they keep panning in on? They are hilarious hams-- were they singers or dancers or fans who were in the right place?

[keen14you]

@DancingFalcons They're just middle-aged white gays with no sense of rhythm...  It's not their fault, lol!

[HJGR1000]

Será sempre um sucesso. Ontem, hoje e amanhã. Parabéns Patrick Hernandez, pela linda música que me faz lembrar minha adolescência. Horácio, Brasília, Brasil.

[2goodxbox1]

sum cunt else like Eric Morillo or Coxy should well mix this fuk benassi .........

[troymellor]

something says miming

[Southblaine]

Im was born when this came out and i like it too.

[Southblaine]

The way he sings sounds like Borg not born

[keen14you]

@Southblaine Resistance... is... futile...

[24nov67]

i think he's miming to the original song? no song could suck like this does 25 years apart

[bigjohnthered1]

@24nov67 I actually quite like this am sad to say haha

[Southblaine]

Grand papas got it going on.

[argentinagrande]

Excelente Tema de los 70 , saludos desde Parana, Entre Rios, Argentina.

[SouthernWolfman]

Hey Martinenq, next time you talk to Patrick, tell him that Born To Be Alive (which is playing on my iPod as I type this) is one of my all time favorite songs....

[martinenq]

Yes he is a very nice and unpretentious man he's like everybody and I have also seen him on stage 2 years ago. Very nice person

[tomhancock69]

Just two things real quick.... OMG, who DOESN'T know it's lip-synching... and BTW it is NOT called "PLAYBACK" ... that's a word speakers of another language use... it's called "LIP SYNCHING".... I went to a concert in 2005 where Patrick sung it live, so I DO understand the difference between lip synching and live, and was referring to how he SOUNDS today. Also, apparently some people don't realize that Patrtick is gay... he was always up front about it, even when it wasn't "cool" to be gay.

[martinenq]

Patrick isn't gay. He has a wife and one child and he lives in Southern France two steps from my house....

[Forestamtul]

so he's still around is he friendly?

[martinenq]

Yes, he is.

[southport97]

@martinenq George Michael had you fooled too.

[ss11311086]

@martinenq and as I know, he also has a husband somewhere else.

[AAInventors]

@martinenq kul demande lui a propos de Madonna elle chantait dans groupe...

[Romanum2]

Where does he live?

[martinenq]

@Romanum2

He lives in a little town near Marseilles...

[VSuarez2010]

@martinenq I'm sorry for people's ignorance. Just because he's not macho like the jerks here can be, all of the sudden he's gay. I think he's cute and if I was old enough to date him back in the day (I was a little girl), I would totally go out with him. I love this song, is like an anthem to me. Tell him thank you from me!

[danypiojosa87ricoter]

@martinenq dios q suerte q tenes!!!!!

PATRICK TE AMOOOOOO!!

[arlindobeijo]

Primeira gravação da voz da Madonna em disco esta nessa música. Ela era back vocal. Procure no google Patrick hernandez e veja fotos dos dois juntos na epoca.

[patmick9700]

YES HE WOT BWORRRN.............BWORRRN...­......

BWORN TO BE AT-LY-EEEVE

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha aaaaahhhhhh classic!!!

[tomhancock69]

I don't normally like to comment on videos, but I was blown away by how great Patrick looked and sounded 25 years after he had that hit. For those who asked, that's a very popular German TV show, you can Google "Hit Giganten"... I concur with those who say that Patrick Hernandez proves that "...it's better to be a ONE-hit wonder than a NO-hit wonder..."

Fantastic job Patrick....

[Tekkiebear]

Um...that was the original record. Patrick was miming. That would be why you thought he sounded so good!

Just thought I'd mention it...
