MV3 - Musical Youth - Pass The Duchie

[Mockingbird5150]

white people really cannot dance.

[arvp7]

I remember Don Imus hosted VH1 and made what would now be considered a racist comment. He said he had to play this video to keep them from robbing grandmothers of their Social Security checks.

[almostfame86]

This was so special for me and you are right I didn't have cable and I would come home and turn on Channel 9 and watch MV3 and get introduced to groups like Wham UK, Adam Ant, Duran Duran and many others. And Yes! Friday Night Video on Channel 4 from 11:30 until 1:30 was my best friend until I got cable years later. Thanks for my memories!

[lasquid]

Get home from school, pour myself some milk and cereal, turn on the tv and watch this show. That was my routine growing up in L.A.

[lasquid]

Karen Scott was hot!

[SouthOCmixdown]

Nothing better than coming home from school in 83-84 &my older sis having on MV3. My parents wud never spring for cable so, MV3 and Friday NIght Videos on NBC? were the closest we ever got. &we always had the Betamax VCR fired up&ready 2go. Somehow we knew we were saving something really worth archiving. And even watching those old tapes now in their grainy, untracked, warbly state, somehow brings back warmer memories that watching 100% crystal clear versions of them on retro dvds. Weird eh? :)

[crashsite000]

@SouthOCmixdown that would be great if your MV3 vids could be up on YouTube. Let us know if/when they do.

[SouthOCmixdown]

@crashsite000 Oh lord, I can sure try in the near future. Really wish wat is left of them was even of the grainiest quality of vids ive seen sofar. =[ I can definitely see theres a pretty thin selection of MV3 stuff out there. Unfortunate. &even more unfortunate that when me&sis used 2record all that stuff back then, bcuz of a inexplicable shortage of Beta tapes, we used 2just recycle the same tapes over&over, w/sloshy edit points in between. Now theyre the vid equivalent of a ransom note *sigh*

[frogslife1]

did she say jamican cooking pot?

[bradlr38]

Im 42, and I will say music really rocks now compared to my day. they never got it then

[bradlr38]

karen scott is hot though I still dig her. MV3 was inspired by american bandstand, in that tradtition that every person can dance. NOT! Thank god, its changed a little since then LOL

[bfnputz]

It was 30 years ago, time to move on.

F***in posers

[deenadragqueena]

white socal kids skanking... I remember those days!

[greaserleo]

skankin', power to the rudeboys of the world.

[SantLB]

These "kids" are in their early 40s now!!! Amazing...they our are doctors, lawyers, professors...

[riverrats00]

Um, these guys ain't doctors and lawyers. I hope they saved their money

[Bodebodango]

Would you like fries with that order is what they ARE DOING NOW!!!! can I supersize that for you?

[bradlr38]

@SantLB LOl they run this country now. does that make u feel safer?

[nyneboyz]

lmao

[cdffiremedic]

Karen Scott was SO hott!

MV3 was for those of us (mainly all of So Cal) who didnt have cable. I think it was channel 9??? Makes me want a Djarum Super!

[thelonious1]

You're right, it was on channel 9. Commericials for KROQ & Leo's Stereo and Federated followed. MV3 ended and Video One started with Richard Blade hosting. And if I'm not mistaken, he did marry Karen Scott.

[deenadragqueena]

Djarum Supers are what got me into my smoking problem in the first place! Spent all of my parer route money on them, and now I'm a 42 year old smoker!

[ricczurdopeboi]

lol im passn tha dutchie riite now lol respect

suburban white kids dancing to a song bout Ganja lol priceless

[danthemovieman19]

wow, very few people seem to know what this song is really about. hahah

[RazzUK]

This is funking hilarious! 80's middle class white boys dancing to reggae FTW! XD

[chefpetey]

@RazzUK this is an absolute HOOT...Yeah Richard Blade came on channel 13, i think, right around the time kids got home from school. He was eventually a Hollywood Square! Talk about "having arrived!" Note how many of those white-folk were wearing one glove...LOL. In reality, a "Dutchie" was a full sized wooden shoe with a quarter-inch hole drilled in the toe. Shoe packed with weed and lit with a propane Bernz-o-matic and passed on to the left. Great Vid!

[ffairlane57]

??...You know what I mean?

Even in the mid-80's, I still thought "??"

[divinegoat]

Someone said the announcer was Australian! Why?

Love this, especially the video - actual video with it's tracking out (My dad used to blow into the machine to clear the dust off the tape heads, I came home from school once to find him surrounded by video parts spraying wd40 all over the tape heads. "You Bloodclot, how we ever gonna watch musical youth and micheal Jackson thriller and ting now on our betamax? What you do fool?" - I said. "Nothing son, just mowing the lawn" - He said.)

[zixxer22]

they dance like the kids in the charlie brown christmass special LMAO!!!!!

[Jherris101]

LMAO! 0:47-0:53, look how that guy in the black shirt is dancing!

[satyricon451]

MV3 was brilliant! I used to watch it (even remember the other intro montage that doesn't seem to be posted here). It's all about the LA New Wave music scene. I remember Dick Blade talking about who was playing at The Troubadour all the time.

And yes, Karen Scott was hot! ;)

[jcb235]

hahaha. classic!

[RickeyRamone]

Originally the song was about pot and passing some smoking device. But they knew that wouldn't fly and so changed it to singing about passing the dutchie (an eating bowl) and being hungry.

[Price1CD]

haha 3:28 in the vid i was so hoping the room of ppl were going to be doing that. lmao

[rotelax]

great song. bad video.

[terminix23]

VHS!! HELL YEAH!!

[WashingtonBeUpInThis]

Everyday...after school...MV3 was my shit.

[reddropdrop]

MV3....I'm going to cry!!!! I'm old!

[yootubesuxarse]

if we allow white men dancing like that, then the terrorists win

[satyricon451]

lmao!

[Jherris101]

lmao!

[junglestrife]

How does it feel when you've got no food? Big deal. More like how does it feel when you've got no Aqua Net? !! Now THAT'S a problem. Doy.

[wazworld]

MV3....didn't Richard Blade host this?  I was like in 9th or 10th grade! I would come on after school likeo on channel 9 or 11 or 13 out of LA only...awesome!

[firehehe]

Holy cow, I remember MV3...it interrupted much of my studies after school.

[center4ants]

Jesus Im getting old...shit

[6of6]

"Getting"? Heh, just kidding. I was 13 in 83 so I'm "getting" old too.

[dublinboyo]

Actually, this is a cover of a well known Reggae tune, originally called "Pass the Kuchie" - which is either a spliff or a hash pipe, but being as it would not do to have wee lads singing about that, they changed it to "Pass the Duchie" which, I think, is a cooking pot.

[LazyTimeGirl]

I actually own this 45.

[connie676]

What is a Duchie?

[massacre09]

''how does it fell when you have no food''

[Devman1]

WOOT hah that little kid owns totally the best one there!

[Sheritadx]

This is halirious.
