Bette Midler - Do You Want To Dance?

[grooverunner]

Would love to hear the quad version of this, where she really wails on at the end, a longer version than the original recorded version.

[Vivenne1st]

I think Bette Midler had little to do to sue over someone else sing her song better! She just should have been able to collect some of the royalites. I will forever miss the original Sable car commercial with the best version of the song and that being the one not sung by Bette Midler!!!

[steplite2]

This woman looks great!

[urpgag]

aahhhhhhh! smooth baby! so smooth

[xandimars]

still beautiful...it makes most of the new music sound like garbage....true clearn singing voice..adele is following in her footsteps. makes you think we settle for so much less now days.

[randallpp]

The best! LOOOOOOOOVEEEE HEEEER!!!!!!

[nancieforeman]

The Divine Ms. M. Such an Inspiration ! xoxox Love It !

[harleyguy5]

Still one of the most beautiful love songs of all times. Do you want to Dance, OH YA.

[evilpixiedance]

what a soulful sexy voice....never get tired of her hearing her.

[pismomann]

What many fail to see is Ms. M is devine! And after 40 years she looks and sounds the part!

[JennieIced]

Love this, she is still so great & I'd love to see her in live in concert.

[ronster369]

One of the best live renditons I have seen for this song. Fabulous.

[meattyBeaty]

At her best! I love this woman.

[hryhrnyguy]

A Class Act!

[ChilYPhilYY]

14 people didn't want to dance.

[nightowlhunter2]

I saw Bette in a 12,000 seat arena (Worc. Centrum) sometime in the late 80's and she put on one hell of a show. She "owned" the arena!!! She was able to make the huge arena feel like a small intimate nightclub. Just one woman did that when there are 6 pieced bands that are unable to duplicate it. It just goes to show how powerful of a performance she was able to put on. Thank You Very Much for the enchanted evening Bette!!!

[SuperScotch23]

The woman can STILL Belt it out! I can't get enough! Luv Ya bette!

[traingirl6]

i'd love to.

[winifredatwell]

One of the few living great entertainers who live up to that billing. One of the best singing actresses, who could take the mosr innane tune and turn into a hymn to life. If only Janis Joplin could have lived to see Bette channel her in The Rose.

[JennyKDC]

I just love this...everything about it. Sounds Divine

[MsTruNorth]

Man, she has really kept her voice!

[Shaolin325]

this song has been on my mind...I love it : - ).

[DaveWollenberg]

Gang, I much prefer the Beach Boys' uptempo version. The Divine Miss M hit #17 in Billboard, 3-10-73. God bless ya, for postin' it. Shalom, Bette!

[net60man]

Love to.

[Corrigan61]

Awesome~!~!~

[justinjameswest]

This. The Everything. The Hair. The Face. The Smile. The Dress. The Song. This Song. Her First and Best Song. The Un-ending Talent. of Bette Midler.

[SeltzerGal]

Nobody does it BETTER!

Thanks for uploading this classic performance!

[Herestome2]

Woooo Hooooo Bette!!!!!!!

[TheSilkyman]

Im useless on computer will get my pa to do it. Will post it under name Bobbie. Just turned 14 let me know wot u think

[rioblancoman]

Bobby wrote it, the Beach Boys sang it. My future ex Bette made it a screenplay.

[VPKings]

bobby freeman is turning over in his grave

[gbcallahan]

@VPKings Bette's version is a completely different groove. Slow, sultry and sexy. It's one of my favorite tracks of hers. Doesn't mean I don't love Bobby Freeman's original--or for that matter, the Beach Boys' spirited mid-60s remake.

[curleebeth]

Bette Midler should come to Alabama, we love you Ms. M(:

[TheSilkyman]

Great version by Bette but beware there is a 14 year old girl Bobbie Shepherd who will b a star and is making an album produced by 2 very talented guys Danny Saxon and Mark James should b finished june 2011 and her version is totally amazing. Remember her name even Bette will b proud

[rioblancoman]

@TheSilkyman no spam. if she 's good just post it. don't compare.

[OakesJD]

Would someone please give Bette my phone number.

Jim O

[DLM629]

I first heard this when I was sitting in a movie house showing gay flicks in the middle of the day. it was background to the film (I'm sure illegal). Heard this and "Friends" and fell in love - and I don't mean with the guy groping me from teh next seat. Fell in love with the Divine Miss M.

[vonSemering]

She's soooooo great. Bette please, please come to Europe for concerts.

[vonSemering]

She's soooooo great. Bette please, please come to Europe for concerts.

[DaveWollenberg]

Good downtempo readin' by the Divine Miss M., but, I still like the Beach Boys' uptempo version better, right, gang? God bless!

[acherrysherry]

@DaveWollenberg oh and don't forget the bobby freeman version too lol - once over a store speaker it was playing and i was wiggling- i looked up to find my (now) ex staring at me- we both had the same idea at the same time. ha ha ha. good times.

[KarenEngSwallows]

@DaveWollenberg I saw you masturbating to Bette Midlers album cover many times when we were teenagers!God Bless!

[Isabella8466]

Midler is an exceptional, "show person," but nothing beats Bobby Freeman's original version.

[crazyhorse99999]

Is it safe to say I fell in love with her when I first heard this song? Beautiful voice and a beautiful woman. Thank you for uploading this song.

[Abbeydooh]

this song is so sexy!

[vopoxmuzyque]

that was ms milder

[walksoftlynow]

Aww! Such a pleasure.



[walksoftlynow]

Aww!

[frannydo]

gota LOVE this and her........

[aljabi2008]

so nice

[justinjameswest]

the first song. and now 30 years later. still her best. this woman. personal. perfect. beautiful endless beauty.

[shelbydawkins]

does anyone remember a version of this song from the 70's as sung by a female singer other than Ms. Midler? It was on the radio I believe and was a fantastic version. Can't seem to find it.

[irishsetterarchie]

AIN'T SHE SOMETHING!?? LOVE YOU BETTE.

[foreverinfame]

amazing, hypnotic, and timeless. I bow to you Betty.

[ttekcupycnan]

I'd Love to have the orignal version from 1972 , only because I'd stay up with my transistor radio with a single earphone till sometimes 4 am. when I was in 8th Grade. I really LOVE this song but her orignal cut is the Best as far as I am concerned if anyone has it PLEASE send it to me Thanks , All Nancy

[sneaker0387]

@ttekcupycnan I also like the original though this is great, When I hear this song I close my eyes and think of dancing with the one

[ttekcupycnan]

@ttekcupycnan 

[AbELiiVeda1nonly]

This woman is fabulous

[skipper8257]

To the 12 people that didn't like this song, please give your reasons. 

[skipper8257]

One of our greatest talents. The Divine Miss M. Love her.

[bartwestla]

Amazing how she can still deliver this song. Love the original album version. So full of soul.

[gowno17]

this tiny lady is INCREDIBLE!!!

[harleyguy5]

Oh yes Bette, we do want to dance, a lifetime of fun and song from an amazing performer, the DivineMissM. Love ya Bette, you still have it and we love it.

[bahianut]

i would love the original version of this song..its so beautiful

[RandomTalkingMonster]

Doesnt this mean do you want to F#@!

[MusicianMeTube]

"She's... the worst person I ever knew in my life"

[guiangantonio]

A sexy song from a funny lady. Great show!

[afiggiani1558]

FOR US OLD TIMERS OUT THERE THIS SONG IS STILL A CLASSIC AND ONE OF BETTE MIDLER'S BEST.

Anthony Figgiani

[KissMeQuk]

There are so many different versions of this song by different singers, and I like them all, but Bette Midler makes it her own, very sexy and dreamy.......Thanks for sharing...

[davieboyplays1]

the incredible  BETTE

[monkee63]

i love this song!!

[salvatoreveritas]

she just takes this great song and sends it into some new stratosphere that i didn't even know existed -- not to mention she sends me there too. talk about incredible sexuality on wheels. she's just delicious.

[haroldt101]

Bette is such a nut! I remember seeing her for the first time - Live at Last concert on HBO back in 1976.  What a hoot!!

[groagsey]

Bette could make a jellyfish hard...

[yieldyieldyield]

@groagsey jajaja I am going to use that line someday

[66feebee]

shes a classic isnt she.

[danielolaf87]

1:56 - I went crazy with that improvisation!!! Just a short phrase but man! beautiful!!! :D

[PowlettJones45]

Never thought Bette was terribly sexy until this video...

I see and listen to her ask ME if I want to dance and I say: Yes, I do!!

[MegaSpliffer]

Bette at her VERY best!  So Divine!

[sdbclement]

Yes, I do:)

[Cherishtheday2]

i love dancing with you. I could dance with you everyday.!!!

[fatalfeel]

could i have this version of mp3

[thechriston]

Actually, the real meaning is asking to dance. When you learn to dance well it becomes something that you can enjoy for hours.

[udon890]

The real meaning is " Do you want to....." after we dance. This is a nice song.

[MrTnebwa]

What's the name of the song.....oh, a bar, a bar, I love to call someone up right about closing time???????

[micapialamode]

Drinking Again

[moochie987]

when i saw her in las vegas the did this with chinese umbrellas and the girls were ballerinas...oh my god AMAZING

[artmidwife]

great vid**********

[goonbob]

She is so good, I have loved watching and listening to Bette since I was in my teens. I'm still watching and listening

[restlessr84]

I used to work with a woman who, along with her girlfriend, was a HUGE fan of the Divine Miss M. Well, Miss M came to San Antonio for her "Kiss My Brass" tour. I asked the lady if they were going and she said the tickets were just too expensive.

Great singer, Miss Midler is. She could absolutely school the playskool "talent" these days.

[SlateDis]

To my BFF!!!!!

[NellieLovett1995]

Happy Birthday Bette!!! :D

[bindybuell]

I am past what year...and really does it matter?

This woman has no time barrier...no lip sinking needed just pure talent!

Love ya Bette

[alibrighteyes]

she is still so sexy after all these years! hope i look that good in my 50s!

[peginamargarita]

50's ? she's 64!

[alibrighteyes]

ya i know but this was from diva las vegas in 2003

[zanydelany]

actually it was 1997 ... :)

[ticul154]

@alibrighteyes - Sorry but I think she's in her sixties, matter of fact I think she's sixty five by now. Still, one heck of a lady!

[blackmumba111]

@alibrighteyes

She's actually 60 in this video (if it was in fact taken in '06)...64 now (65 in December)

[pedicord89]

@alibrighteyes she's 65....

[PopCulture1980]

I saw this song live at "The Showgirl Must Go On"!!! I can die happy now. lol

[gallieman]

hi this is great. if you have the original version of to deserve you could you please try to upload it.

lola

[recovering16]

@gallieman I would love to have the original too (from the same album that had "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" on it...

[jehu737]

Hi Rissleep, I am worse than a retard......gasp I am Canadian.

[jehu737]

I wish I could lyp sync like that. There should be a constitution amendment against this stuff.  Nothing against Bette, I think people deserve better for shelling out over a $100 ticket.

[rissleep]

this is a live show for Diva Las Vegas, she's not lip syncing jehu737 RETARD!!

[fatepiano1]

Just love her. This is probably my all-time favorite. Beautiful. Love her.

[barbiegirl20082008]

simply fabulouse!!!!

[newnetnerd]

How incredible was that?

Thanks for sharing this!

[maggiechick100]

What a fantastic sexy woman you are Bette, love you to death. I must get another copy of the Divine Miss M....Thank you for your music.

[diamondbaby59]

Such a poweful and dynamic voice!

Does she have any new releases out?

[19lorraine44]

Bettes version has always been my very favourite.

Thank you this.♥

[laggie24]

Bette is like a pearl she shines-and-shines ... she is absolutely unique ... nicey mood. :)

[frannydo]

I only have 3 things to say about it love it love love it  It dont get much better than this

[thekaliko]

What a WONDERFUL interpretation... yes, I'd dance for a lifetime.

[starrynight003]

"We could dance under the moonlight, hug and kiss all through the night"........how perfect.

[shininglitewithin]

Do you, do you, do you want to dance FOR ME?

[T4Rex]

Shure, who can resist when you ask like this.

[NuttyCookie333]

You Go Bette Midler!!! Such class!!!

[williamleberte]

Bette is absolutely lovely and beautiful and of course she is fabulously funny!

[mttduong]

How sexy her voice is!

[Seahag97136]

She's so relaxed and casual, like she truly loves what she's doing. So pretty. Such a voice. She has become older wonderfully well.

[stanleyshyeoh]

My favourite version of the song ... by far!

[imblu77]

a million times agreed!!!! :D

[kimedes009]

this was used in One True Thing in 1998 with Meryl Streep. It was when William hurt and she were dancing. i love it ever since then:)

[monkee63]

Same i saw that movie and well now i love it!!

[john9944]

The answer is YES a thousand times. Will you sing to me, too? You are everything and more.

[antonic75]

Yeah, I do. You are a dream!

[britonian33]

Brilliant. The divine Bette. Pure joy.

[harleyguy5]

OH ya, I want to dance, love you Bette, one of the most beautiful songs ever. Do ya do ya do ya, oh ya, dance.

Bette's beautiful in a funny, romantic way that no one have ever come close to duplicating.... she's most wonderful, that Miss Divine

[Finallybenunderstood]

I haven't heard this song in years and years...This is a most beautiful rendition by Miss Divine. I'm so glad that she's the one that got me to remember this most wonderful song.

[lizlovethatsong]

thanks for posting - what a beautiful voice = classic performer

[MaybeBoo333]

Haven't heard that since I wore out my Divine Miss M album (seems to be deleted as I ordered it on CD but no one could find it!)

Not too many can do it as well on stage as they do on album. Thanks for posting.

[musicaltouch7474]

She is lovely in this video!Beautiful song!Thanks for posting!

[eliseo530]

she is an amazing live singer,

no joke,

[soccerrun]

I remember this version growing up. I believe it was her first hit. I'm not much of a fan of hers but always liked this 1.

[AnneSavina71]

A good version of this great song. Thank uou!

[ishredu]

I think this is bette midler's actual utube page!

something sad about this tune

so so so damn killa!

[bbmaven]

Divine!

I fell in love with Bette's version decades ago, and it simply ages like fine wine.

This performance is amazing. Thank you for posting.

[MamaMidler]

This is definitely one of the most sexy songs to come along since the early 70's. Bette is so vocally supreme here. She is Amazing.

[natatata88]

Bette is so charming here!and so sexy!!so divine!and a song is so romantiic)) i do enjoy and love it!

[barnabas50]

If she is in fact lip synching, wonder why she did'nt lip synch to the studio recording?

[SEATTLEGRL1]

Bette Midler makes this song so theatrical and sensual!

[gottarockman]

A better song for her

[dtmraul]

I love this version! It is one of the few romantic renditions that I would enjoy listening to over and over again.

[WithNAngelWings]

Lip synching??

Who cares, she is phenomenal!!!

[jewishdirectorsrock]

Love Her!

[pudinaningkan]

[richardmgardner]

Incomparable talent, but more importantly,

a woman of heart and humanity. I love you, Bette!

[hiyaya11]

I love this song! It remembers me of the version that Love Society sang. Slow and sweet! It is one of my favorites. And Ms. Midler is awesome! Thanks for posting this video.

[MansManBk]

I saw her live and she is spectacular she does it all sings, dances, tells the best jokes, and rips with the audience...by the time you leave your eyes are red, from tears, your sides hurt from laughing and you swear you know this woman..she truly is DEVINE!

[snowheat]

Saw her in Vegas, worth every dime.

[PowlettJones45]

I don't think I appreciated Bette Midler until this song. Such a stage presence...

[marcosvalenca]

Miss M sexiest performance of "Do You Want To Dance". Just divine...

[muhie711]

btw, LOVE the dress!

[dmwhs07]

what is this from? Which concert?

[keefelc]

From HBO's broadcast of Bette's "Diva Las Vegas" concert (aka her "Experience The Divine" tour).
