Kids Incorporated - Wild Wild Life

[asimmervideo]

can you put the episode up?

[manewland1]

Damn it, but this is good!!

[oneknight09]

lol Stacy forgot to put the mic up to her mouth on 1:06. What happen to the full episode?

[fleamarket3000]

the song is about cocaine... which makes this cover very funny

[redbeakman]

the more years that pass the more alien and bizarre this cover will seem. talking Heads are art, this is a really disturbing form of kitsch that will be more profound as time passes.

[AprilShowerful]

Ryan... :)

[doctorwho00772]

luv renee's boots, so cute...

[aarxn82]

i think Ryan does that dorky dancing because hes kinda mimicing David Byrne's moves from The Talking Heads lol. hes actually a big fan of them in real life and you can tell with his band Elephone

[frankster67mike]

Ladies on gentlemen, on the drums......A.C. Slater!

[jonathanmrussell]

Honestly i like this cover better than the original it's just something about Martika's harmony that is really mesmerizing

[stevieVantanna]

@jonathanmrussell I totally agree! wasn't a big fan of the show but this cover is better than the original.

[00dragonfly]

Very unsettling indeed.

[johnnyquest870]

This is one of the times where I like the KI version better than the original. This is practically the whole song and Ryan does a great job and Martika stands out on the BGV's.

[TheJohnny990]

OK this is frigin wierd

[pressman95]

Fergie was a cutie back then.

[616Earth]

If u can take in to account that they're just kids on a tv show and get over the horrible pantomiming of musical instruments, lol the song is really tight. And they're definitely trying. Good job guys.

[butterscat]

OMG I Want To Kill Myself. These Rich Brats Singing This " Talking Heads " Classic Is Gonna Make Me Throw Up All Over My Shoes. If Only A Grenade Blew Them All Up =)

[rickbusinessman]

Haha, Kids Incorporated and Wild Wild Life.

I can just imagine it:

"Hey guys, it's time to sing!"

"Yeah I'll fuckin' sing. I feel fucking great man. I feel awesome. I'll sing all fuckin' night! Fuck I feel so great. I could fuckin' kill someone!"

[kinstube]

I USED TO LOVE THIS SHOW!

[KidsIncorporated]

Sorry for the audio being minorly out of sync. When uploading videos sometimes in WMV or MOV format, they go out of sync slightly.

[TheJohnny990]

@KidsIncorporated  it's alrite its barely noticable. P.S, backing singers just have ridiculousy high voices, and the girl singer in verse 2 just dont work

[psykosel]

disney could only go down hill after this, aka jonas brothers, highschool musical. cheetah girls. and every fucking person from one show on there being a singer is so annoying

[scottbaino]

They should've retitled this episode "A Visit to Sweaterville".

[stevieVantanna]

I really didn't care for the singing in KI when I was a kid, But i must say - this is just as goood as the original. THe harmonies are awesome.

[richardgleason]

Im not completely sure about this, but I dont think they're really playing those instruments. Could be wrong though...

[grayguy777]

Well you can be completely sure.

[TalkingHeadsRock]

That was great.

ElectroX24, I don't see anything wrong with Miley Cyrus BTW. She has a few good songs.

[ElectroX24]

IF Ryan didn't fully start learning how to play guitar in the last seasons Then He's doing a hell of job acting like he's actually playing guitar

[grayguy777]

Enjoyable for sure, a good job, a great song. But who let the kids do a cocaine song?

[toddbolden]

hahaha thats exactly what i was thinking... those kids just scored some wild wild life

[ryguyvi]

is that Mario Lopez on the drums?!

[toddbolden]

it sure is!!

[HonRevPTB]

I'm 36 so I started having flashbacks when seeing this, but you know what, that kid doesn't do a bad job. He actually did really well!

Which one was Fergie?

[ElectroX24]

blond girl

[ElectroX24]

Stacy Ferguson looks really awkward in some moments during this performance You would never guess she would turn into Fergie lol

[ElectroX24]

I actually like the faster tempo of this performance compared to the original

[ElectroX24]

Who cares if they are singing a Talking Heads songs I actually prefer that to the crap Hannah Montanna sings now ? Just compare and you'll see this in a different light lol

[therascalking0000]

I watched Kids Inc. when I was a kid. I don't remember this. I love this song, but did anyone vet this? A bunch of kids on PBS singing a song about cocaine.

LOL.

[falloutMAN84]

bunch of retards, and i can say retards because i am one

[dleaky6]

I disagree, i reckon Byrne would love this. I remember when the original came out and i think it got to 41 in the UK(when the singles chart meant anything) and was shocked it didn't do that well. I've never heard of this Kids inc, but for a kids show those backing harmonies are stunning. Very good.

[PrettyIrishGirl74]

Boy is this bad. If you listen closely you can hear the sound of David Byrne hanging himself.

[stevieVantanna]

Is Fergie in this?

[Kimothy80]

Yes. That's her in the pink top, pink bow and purple sweater.

[stevieVantanna]

thanks. I was never into these performing scenes when I was a kid, but I actually like this version better than the TH version - I miss the harmonies.

[Laurance987]

I didn't think they were going to have them say "I wrestle with your conscience, you wrestle with your partner."

[mauiztic]

I don't like silly kids singing weird songs by talking heads. A little more respect.

[Shumshumwah]

Come on, this is fucked up.

[mrcookish]

1:06-1:10 lipsynch malfunction

[AWSrider89]

lol :43 Everybody Hates Chris

[butterscat]

This song is about cocaine lol lol lol I hate when stupid litte disney lip singing kids cover great songs

[timberwolfbabe]

you can really hear Martika on this song it's hard to hear the other girls background vocals.

[hulkamaniac1976]

It was basically always that way. Martika's voice was too strong.

[fbcedta]

i read an artical once saying that it was mainly done because she had a really good ear and could do good harmony and the other girls were still learning to do it but her voice was strong.

[michaelz92]

lol awesome.

[mjgross2]

Wow, this takes me back. What a fantastic cover! Too bad the lip-synch isn't their best. But otherwise, this is great. They really made this song their own instead of just trying to copy the original. Great arrangement!

[ChucksGhost01]

Martika's harmony on this song is fantastic! Listen to the Sunglasses at Night KI video for another good one.

[starsweet4]

@ChucksGhost01 more songs with good martika harmony (that i really noticed) are Cover Me, If You Leave, They Don't Know About Us.. i know there are lots more though

[lynndolphins101]

i think both renee and stacy almost sound alike

[clavinbot]

Renee is so beautiful.

[traysea77]

I love the spazzy head bobbing......Ryan was such a dream....still is. *swoon*

[jimmypi]

This is one of my favorite Ryan songs... I think it is one of his most underrated.

[davidtennantaddict13]

@jimmypi Yeah, I guess it's so underrated because so many have a tough time hearing anyone but David (can't remember his last name) from the Talking Heads singing it. I think Ryan does a great job with it too.

[Captaingamecube]

awesome!

[BoukenBlack]

This is a good song but why is Ryan doing that thing with his head at the beginning. and is this video on youtube by the original artist?

[KidsIncorporated]

Yes, just do a search for Talking Heads Wild Wild Life and you can watch the video. It's VERY weird. LOL

[KidsIncorporated]

You're so welcome!

[BoukenBlack]

i have a question. did KI treat these songs as their own or were they just doing it by the artists who were popular at the time? i remember stacy saying something about this in the Guitarist episode when they sang that Tiffany single.

[KidsIncorporated]

They did all the hits of the current time, as well as oldies. They did also have their fair share of original songs, too. If you go on the KI site you can see and hear all of the KI Originals from the series. Some were so good you would think they were radio hits...

[ldswomen29]

thanks for posting ryan is one of my fav. singer even now
