Herbie Hancock - Rockit

[PaulJuliusSokoloff]

First song to strongly introduce record scratching, due to the highly publicized and award winning video along with the endless radio play!

[TheEGGtech]

1:31 the walking legs walk into the sitting leg's foot

[2006fbi]

今の若者にはありえない 輝いていた８０年代のディスコ 心の良い匂いが湧き上がってくるあの時代 曲の節々に心からの歓喜を呼び起こすフレーズ それぞれの曲は単純だったけど みんないい心根を創るそれぞれの曲があったよねぇ。 この頃に１０代２０代だった人は幸せだ。 心の底から笑えたし 心の底から声が出た。 本当の若者とは、あの時代の人たちのことを言うだと今でも想う。 そう想いませんか？昭和の青春時代の偉大なる若者だった人よ♪

[SilverHeavyLobster]

@2006fbi Speak English please?

[2006fbi]

@SilverHeavyLobster

20 teens who were not happy about this.

From the heart to laugh, a voice came from the heart. Young people and the real, still think that means the people of that generation. Do not you agree?

The Showa era youth, young people were great! !

[2006fbi]

@SilverHeavyLobster OK....

The youth of today are impossible. 80's disco was shining. I smell spring to mind in mind.

That era, in every section of the song phrase evokes heartfelt joy. But each song was simple, I create all the cats in mind, each song had.

[Balendula]

Press 6 over and over again for endless nightmares!

[dakamadafaka1]

this is my ex wife

The thing that scares me most is the legs in the cupboard......

Silent Hill 2:Restless Dreams must have been inspired by this video.

[danNYx86]

E P I C

[flippyflappy1]

"There will come soft rains" by Ray Bradbury- This video parallells the short story pretty well. Erie but cool

[sheshaman]

It's so futuristic!!! Even over next 50 years it's gonna sounds still fresh!!! Immortal and timeless song.

[killerpiller119]

sheshaman-dame right man this kind of music can never be forgotten

[Xhanoir]

The epilepic baby scare me T_T

[mielazul]

ROSETTA WEST "UNDERGROUND"

Check it on Youtube - raw delta blues, not too much like this...but I loved this song back in the day, and there must be SOME connection. I remember walkin' the streets of Chicago when the Jesse White tumblers were doing their thing to this song. LOOOOONG time ago...

[erietigers91]

i think i'm gonna have nightmares O.O

[gryffwitch37]

OMg I just realized what the manequin in the bed was doing....lol

[XeswanzX]

GAMEBREAKER

[TheWorldofMax]

thumbs up if you pretend you're playing the keyboard and drumming and scratching to this on the desk

[edgarleon2]

hello



[amafuji]

I'm going to have nightmares that I can dance to.

[SSBMKirby]

Dammit! So this is where my LSD went!

[ApoptygmaBirdling]

Oh wow, this video, along with most if not all of the Talking Heads' videos, were my absolute favorites as a little kid in the 80s!!!!!  <3

[kelseystevenson1992]

dear youtube... THIS IS NOT CHOPIN. okay now that that is clear, riddle me this... IF THIS IS NOT CHOPIN WHY IS IT IN THE YOUTUBE MIX FOR FREDERIC CHOPIN?!

[suckmeballsalot]

@kelseystevenson1992 maybe because it wasn't youtube that put it in a playlist but rather some person on youtube.

[clokwize]

i would like to say Hip Hop is not real music. but its more of a culture or a lifestyle

[lilducklingsierra]

Should be voted creepiest video of all time. Though cool as hell.

[nicoleayanna]

@lilducklingsierra ...lol yeah this video and thriller used to scare me a lot as a toddler

[harryj2197]

video is creepy

[SonicsniperV7]

This video disturbed me on several levels.

[Digital79Inferno]

Zoolander

[SlumberCloud]

0:37 look at what that thing on the right of the screen..lol just an example

[SlumberCloud]

Herbie hanCOCK..and Ive said it before, watch close and you see this is full of men using masterbation..getting off with the female dummies

[crocodile2006]

Okay after watching this video for a second time I now realise a peeping tom robot man and bird are outside watching the guy in bed jerking off. :-/

[crocodile2006]

Is that a robot masturbating in bed or my imagination?

[FastPonyGT]

Genius. You go Herbie!

[osbar137]

yeah great video Mtv.

i love the song i hate justin bieber

[MegaCrowman]

first time I heard the scratching I thought it was a dog barking

[HarlequinHelen]

my home is starting to look alot like this video ... especialy the ziigy star dust wig on that one model ;-)

[2727taterbug]

I loved this video back in the day. But as I watch it now Im not as impressed as I was as a kid. I guess its like when I visited my Grandmother home she had when I was a kid. That house was a castle to me, now it seems so small.

[af10512]

Wow its been years sense the last time i saw this...like 1984

[dervkid]

This track is the bomb.....I never seen the video until now!! and it is kool....The scratching is wicked....Although not the best....But still excellent to pop 2....Breaking as well...

If you think this is crap you should listen to some of the music nowadays... Besides back in them days this kind of music was definitely underground ish....In England they kept this shit off the telly cozz they were proper tight bezzards on thing like hip hop and break beats or electro.....

[cindersnashes]

LOL god bless the 80's LOL

[starofmine99]

WTF....im like disturbed rite now....BUT ITS SO FUDGEIN CATCHYYY!!!!!!

[PerbullProductions]

this made my headache go away for 3 minutes and 23 seconds

[marcusedell]

This video and song was the shit back in the day.Brings back memories of Jr High and Break Dancing..lol

[billyfurmansaxman]

every day at my house!

[hurokunamy]

who else thinks of break dancing wen they hear this song

[whitepoeticwarrior]

Can't believe this video won about five awards at the first MTV awards show.

[ArtnMusicLady]

One of the most creative music videos of all time!! This is still a super hot & funky track in my book. Let's Rockit!!

[SimpleAz]

the scratch at 1:50 basically fueled turntablism.

[speeps84]

HAHA THAT DUMMY IS MASTURBATING

yeah

and wow i never knew this was a herbie hancock song

[Xhanoir]

Whi youtube cant show this video on chile? o0

[ViergeVraie]

This vid used to scare the living day lights out of me as a child.

(Still does).

[snookie60100]

Giant !

[ChevelleOfWar]

I wish I loved myself enough to beat it that hard...

[SlumberCloud]

this video about guys jerking off?

[jaguilar300]

@SlumberCloud My God! You are right! I just listened to the music and never really paid attention to the detail. Geez, guess when this came out, I was 12 and not really yet informed.

[SlumberCloud]

@jaguilar300 yeah, Ihave not seen it in forever, watching it now is like WHOA

[jaguilar300]

The bassline is makes this song great!

[LoseTheGreed]

A true classic! Too bad it's taken 25 years to be able to see this on-demand. Thank you for posting!!!

[speaktheworld]

How the hell did this end up on the Frederic Chopin playlist?

[gasoline]

@speaktheworld Mostly because of Herbie Hancock being an accomplished jazz musician and pianist

[perezfrankie17]

This video is creepy. But the song is great!

[rambomoore9999]

Zoolander!

[IIXxFrOsTyxXII]

When I watch this, I have to double-check to make sure I'm not on crack or something xD Great vid.

[talkintomp]

JANET JACKSON SAMPLES THIS

[swankrecords]

timeless

[BlackjackFit]

Omg that was crazy eightys

[zeronova77]

This makes me want to hump my Atari

[zorroazulapex]

I loved this as a kid! Completely awesome video!

[my4trackmachine]

it looks like that guy is jerking off in the bed. also classic

[emily111596]

i break dance so good to this song

[BboyScarz]

wtf?

[Psychlist1972]

Where's my cardboard?

[perezfrankie17]

This song is so awesome. The beats are amazing! Thumbs up if you agree.

[TheRagingNerd]

Ratings disabled so here's my thumbs up!

[mssahunter]

reminds me of my time in Germany :)

[ramesh23231]

fuck milk.

[MentalTime]

Don't watch this while on acid, or you'll brick sh*ts.

[ccg1171]

When I was a kid this vid scared the shit out of me...

[SlackerAndy02]

I was never scared of the video when I was a kid, but for some odd reason, it always gave me a woody. Also, I remember re-enacting the banging my head on the pillow part.

[ambersxxx]

ca c bon!!! du son!!! ils sont exeptionnels!!

[somebadasslol]

that guy was masturbating angrily hahaha

[xXGuitarLegend101Xx]

Im on shrooms...

[Bodhizzle]

I'm scared...

[williamrlph]

this song was an innovation of pop....this is a great song

[Olphalsson]

how did i ended up listening to this XD I was listening to deathcore metal, pass throught some rolling stones, went through beattles... then got into Wagner and Vivaldi... listened to Shlomo mintz and then that! lol

[reddyredd]

OK, he was bested by Head Hunters, but I'm pretty sure seeing this is what made Miles Davis throw up his hands and say, "F*ck This, I'm just gonna play Human Nature from now on..."

[ruslanio]

I remember in about '94 I saw this in Europe, damn the video was crazy, but the tune was too good for my ears!

[tezzad01]

the vid was far ahead of its time, with great imagination

[gongograham]

@tezzad01 what are you talking about, the video is fucking retarded

[tezzad01]

@gongograham i wouldnt say retarded... u just dont have imagination ...

[PhuckmeAgain]

I used to love this tune....

The South Bank Show back in the day, showed how all the dummy's were brought to life...

Was a guy in England that did it, and i remember the Wanking Man....Yes you did read right they showed a Dummy Wanking in 1983....

Hmmmmmm?

[lnm00996]

I'm glad to see I was not the only who had the crap scared out of me by that torsoless mannequin dancing across the floor. This song was the jam back in the day. The 80s!! Good times man.

[Hoffletrof456]

ehhh obviously not Herbie's best work but creative and refreshing nonetheless

[kayleigh204]

wtf?

[Tucuxi3]

I slept in my parent's bed for a week when I saw this as a child. I thought every dummy at the mall was going to start dancing badly.

[forkhead]

Lady Gaga's weirdass videos don't hold a candle to this pioneer. Freakiest thing on MTV, maybe ever.

[jdcunnington]

Disney is animatronics.These are drugs. This is animatronics on drugs.

[teranracer]

now all i need is your john hancock.. It's herbie hancock, aaayyyyy!!!!!!!!!

[JohnEvansChaoseed]

We need more people doing crazy, creative stuff like this video.

[GeTemDezLe]

Herbie is so creative and talented!!!

[ciolamorta]

Click on the time bar and next press 6 repeatedly. Man, that's so scary...

[Sniperman1011]

i first saw this vid when i was seven and i wouldnt go to sleep

[Autocon609]

Wow... the set this video was filmed in is the Stuff of Nightmares.

[jml4000]

Goddamn the 80's were scary. And not just because everybody happened to be a partially dismembered robot-mannequin.

[ljmb86]

im glad i wasnt da only 1 scare 2death as a kid when this vid came out

[kclite]

I DARE ALL OF YOU!!!!!! I DOG GONE DARE ALL YOU TO ENTER THAT HOUSE ALONE IN THE DARK WHILE THOSE THINGS ARE MOVING LOL

[screwyou]

@kclite I will walk in the valley and fear no evil, for Herbie Hancock is my fucking shepherd.

Yo.

[djhandlenfriends]

i remember this video scaring the crid-dap outta me. but the beat was so 80's! "poppin & lockin fool"

zoolander

[tonyregan021177]

Crazy shit!! LOVE IT!!!!

[whocares0612]

Robot masturbation?

[wesker919]

My pants just filled with happiness!!

[KauanFera10]

WTF ? ?? ? ? ? ? ??

[MrEpiChicken]

At 2:47 he is jerking real hard!!

[MrEpiChicken]

at 00:10 it looks like he is jacking off lol!!

[COINSINPOCKET]

more cowbell

[joke719]

this is what cocaine does to you....

[VoiceOfReezun]

When that scratch comes in on the break, it was a freaking wrap on the dance floor with the B-Boys!!! hahahaha this the short version though

[nallvle]

what do you think the guy in the bed is doing? Head is jerking and he has a tent up!

[addyr100]

this scares me

[GuitarxFreakx]

this was the classic music and the classic Mtv, where there was actually music

[Shockostar]

Awesome song. And sorry If I sound creepy, but those legs walking around the room are sexy... in an automatoney kind of way. Their moves look so natural, whoever built that, must have/must had a wide knowledge on anatomy. I believe that's the one that sticks the most when you watch the video.

[Mctatertotz]

lmao that manequin J.O.ing in tha bed at 0:11 

[ucfkid67]

@Mctatertotz how bout the guy at :13 watching him... lol

[JD1524ful]

carlose not at the table

[thisisnotbrighteyes]

ummm, why is this in a Chopin playlist? i know they both play keys but that's about the extent of their similarity.

[chill4lyfe]

@thisisnotbrighteyes Haha that's nothing, I found this in a Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz mix

[boredouttamahmynd]

I wasnt born wen this song came out but i love it!!! I'm 13 nd i think this song is the shit!!! Fuck u kesha nd katy perry!!!

[Elisheval]

what the hell does this have to do with your CHOPIN playlist?! unless this is sampled from chopin?

[SaintRowRocker1]

best scratching ever

[bebo2good1]

The dude in the bed looks like hes jerking off LMFAO!

[secretmarksman]

lol at the robot in the bed. also, the vid reminds me of the video for closer by nine inch nails :/

[xpi7]

WHATS THIS CRAP? YOUR PLAYLIST SAYS MIKE STERN.. I
