[Afrozavodsk]

I'd like the instrumental version of this please.

[brianwb1210]

[BrooklynBizznezz]

@brianwb1210 I have crates and crates and crates of vinyls and I been converted them so most are on my computers. If you tell me what you want & leave your email, I will foward it to you. Not many people can stump me so this means 9 times out of 10, I will have what your request. Try me. Oh, pls keep it limited.

[MrSouthSioux]

My uncle used to love Cameo, Gap band. etc. The synth sound mixed with R & B really is distinctive. Love it.

[julia71127]

love the group...love the tune...shame about the vid...lol...still you cant get worse than most rubbish thats around these days can you...

[BR914]

A noose huh? Cool

[amazonaaaa]

funky like  no other.

[MLSJ781]

I love this song but this is a dumb ass video.

[maveric23100]

@MLSJ781 this video is epic!

[lance2k11]

haha this isnt gay at all good song

[foxnews63]

i don't want to get to serious i just like having fun

[matthewisenhour]

Why the hell is there a shaddow of a noose over the judges head?

[TheBmar21]

I really like this song, but this video is very corny and gay as hell. I can't bring myself to watch it all the way especially after that part when he was at the alter... -_-

[FGwriter]

@TheBmar21 I'd rather see a 'corny and gay' video nowadays than the typical, formulaic music videos we have now. Rap song? You have a bunch of dudes flashing gang signs, throwing money around, showing off expensive cars and dancing with half-naked girls. R&B song? A guy and a girl arguing before the song starts, then singing together about their problems in a bedroom looking frustrated about their relationship. I'm sick of that shit. At least this is different and unique.

[TheBmar21]

@FGwriter I'm not saying today's videos are any better. if anything,they're worse than this. even if i did think that, its my oppinion, its neither right or wrong. get over it

[MrJtr75]

I'm white and I love to have his hair style. Ok, what woman argues and then does a twirl during the argument?

[bigdub302]

IM LIVING THE SINGLE SINGLE LIFE!!!!!!

[ThePopandLocker3000]

dis video so retarded

[Trainergrrl09]

F*!k the video! the song is HOTT! ;) 

[Jw082781]

Even the women in this video had crazy hairdos.

[GramblingsFinest]

dis nigga was fruity smh

[nickfrank1]

gotta love that 80s hair doo man

[juiced07ninjazx14]

Not gay.

[ogdoad4]

was cameo gay?

[dkb201998]

@ogdoad4 No

[blazn1981]

@ogdoad4 Why would you even think that unless you your self are Gay!

[ogdoad4]

@blazn1981 I'm saying that because he looks dodgy in the video you stupid jackass

[juiced07ninjazx14]

Nice

[russellclark100]

LOOK @ THEM OUTFITS!

[NATiVEGIRL1618]

lovee thiss jam living the single lifee

[edrusharry]

Loved it the first time round, love it even more now 8)

Just fits in with the situation these days even more 8)

[bnewton31]

"Mr. brideman" is the reason I love this song and want to stay single; has to be more yummy-looking freaky-deaks out there like him.....lol.

[3811iberis]

This 1985 R&B song an video is just vintage Cameo, they always did music, an videos "outside the box", Larry Blackmon wouldn't have had it any other way...

[edrusharry]

@3811iberis To true 8)

[57villan]

@3811iberis R&B ? thats the tag attached to the crap from from last 5 years, real R&B was 50/sixties man...............but cameo god bless them are pure FUNK/SOUL so quit the kiddies R&B thing

[caselaron1]

Blasting Cameo on the way home from work, saw these guys in concert in D.C. last December......Owwwwwwww!!!!!!!­!!!

[sexydarkchocl8]

Isn't that Debbi Morgan in the court room and again at the end of the video?

[3811iberis]

@sexydarkchocl8 - Yes, with her cute self...

[cammicty]

Cameo brought NEW WAVE punk dress to the fore, since the 70's they were rock! I was a Cameo Groupie, backstage me and my cousin at so many, many of their concerts! Hanging out with them! Lol, back in the day, memories! Very intelligent men they were, when they left the stage and the Costumes went off, extremely educated Black Men! Word Up Cameo! I remember when the brought on John Blackwell as a Drummer, it was his first real gig!

[MrTopShota]

jasim guy is the cutie in the white dress. My theme anthem when I served in the US Army.

[cammicty]

@MrTopShota Jazmine Guy is not in the Cameo Single Life Video, I forget this Actress name. but she was very popular in the 80's, also in a Soap Opera!

[tieaf]

@cammicty youtube.com/watch?v=MYl6_bNv7a­s&feature=related

[rinotrip]

love this music!

[paragons00]

Cameo released this song in 1985, not 2004 as implied by the video subheading

[bluemystic99]

I looove this song and video but the dancing at the end seems cheesy even by 1980 standards. Lol

I love 1:27 XD

[gre68]

the woman on the couch is so cool..whats her name?...is she well known?

[chinchinal]

I remember I went all over my local area looking for the Cameo tape I had to have it because I was in Love. I finally hopped on public transportation and found it in White Plains NY you couldn't tell me nothing I danced playing it in my walkman all the way home, With my boyfriend and best friend trying to keep up with me! Good Times ; ~ D

[bigswissa32]

@dkb201998 they're resting in peace we know dis song meant something to them if it wasn't nothing but having a good time and enjoying they're memories

[jADEMIXEDSTYLE]

TUUUUUUNNNNNNE I'm married but still trying to live a single life = "I just like having FUN" much to my beautiful husbands dismay & KMT face - I LOVE YOU Mr T, cos I personally kinda think you can 'have your cake & eat it' - this saying never really made sense to me?!!! #LovePeace&NRG jADExXx

[buttacudawey]

DAMMMMMM, DEM GIRLS NEED TO BE FED.....DATS DA ONLY THING I HATED ABOUT DA 80'S BONEY ASS BITCHES...YUCK!!!

[bigswissa32]

my mom loved this song r.I.p.

[dkb201998]

@bigswissa32 same thing

[Branden704851]

[carloas27]

My anthem

[grandcreator11]

man come the hell on with these motherfuckin ads!

[GrandMasterGuess]

@grandcreator11 Use Mozilla Firefox and add on Adblock plus...you'll never have any problems with ads ever again.

[Afrocanuk]

If you're single, don't consider it a disadvantage. The vast majority of marriages are ending in devorce.

[snilloc72]

Certainly no shortage on cool white girls for the video is there? LOL

[tokinblckgie]

Didn't realize this is where the concept for Wrong Idea by Snoop Dogg came from.

[Digz3000]

WHATS UP WIT THE GODDAMN NOOSE ABOVE THE JUDGES HEAD FROM 2:42-2:47??!!!!!!!

[ashleymarisa]

@Digz3000 The guy that she is divorcing is being "hung" out to dry. The judge awarded her a massive amount of alimony.

[Digz3000]

I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON WHY THIS SONG CAPTURED ME AS A CHILD... I'M HAPPIER LIVING THE SINGLE LIFE!!!!!!!!

[Digz3000]

@bpatient843. I WILL BET MONEY YOU WERE IN BLUE MAGIC LAST WEEKEND

[SAINTJUDAS28]

ok cameos awesome and all, but iJUST listened to three of his tunes and they all shared the same goddam beat.

[Alexpowerfull]

The bass guitar ! Wow !

[bpatient843]

I will under no circumstance dance in the club.....until this comes on then all bets are off! This is my national anthem!!!!!!!!!!!

[PWPost]

Nasty Beat! Man Cameo really had their act together!

[Footsniffer51]

That's Debbie Morgan!!!! Damn!!!

[clbzone]

'I don't wanna get too serious. I just like having fun...."  The bass on this joint is the shi-! One of the funkiest grooves ever.

[neroglorioso]

jajajajajajjajajajaja me mata la cara del negro !! @2.26

[neroglorioso]

jajajajajajjajajajaja 

[tsujoy]

Damn that part that says, "Single, single, single, single" and they spin one by one is FLY!!!

[valiente16]

His face at 3:04 had me rolling!

[TerminatorC]

That bitch came back from the other side like ms pacman!

[diggyu]

if you look back at past decades its going to always look funny you got to take it for what it is even that ferrari looks dumb now but back then it was the shit damn fools grow up and open your mind.

[vpaczkowski]

@diggyu . That Ferrari looks awesome today, looked awesome yesterday and will look awesome tomorrow. 

[TheEsquire212]

@vpaczkowski I had a poster of the '86 Testarossa on my wall for YEARS.

[26354BladeRunner]

@TheEsquire212

Yeah, shame the car in the video is a 308 GTS then

[TheEsquire212]

@26354BladeRunner Is it? My bad.

[atomicplayboy4u]

@vpaczkowski now its know as the magnum ferrari ;)

[J1NDA]

@vpaczkowski it's a 346 GTB my dream car at the time (15 yrs old), and would still love one today but life happened. lol.

[RacerXGTO]

@J1NDA What's a 346 GTB?

How about 308 GTSi

GTS = top-less

GTB = not top-less

[J1NDA]

@RacerXGTO soz, was a bit pissed when i commented.

It was a 308 GTB hard top, the GTS was for Magnum PI and girls. lol {;-0)

[gapbandcameo]

Sweet 80's

[ThePrincessetutu]

Loving it

[grandcreator11]

this is where snoop dogg got the lyrics from

[purebrownsugar77]

Now this my jam, the fellas always hating when the sexy single ladies living the single life better than them and loving it! LOL. Got to spread all my wings and fly dammit. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

[80s4ever63]

Again another Youtube post with that errornous (C)2004 year on the Cameo video. Same with the Candy and "Attack me with your Love" videos. These tracks were released in 1985/86. It will be confusing to youngsters. The fashions in the video speak for themselves though. 80's all the way. 

[MyJunior1975]

@80s4ever63 The reason they posted that date was due to the copyright being renewed at the time of the video's posting.

[jaya34ish]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[MrTinmantin]

ahhh the good old days lol

[mar1max73]

Im married but I love this song! Oh the days of my youth...lmbo!!!

[ThePetey2]

[TheLadyRankin]

I LOVE CAMEO...HOW HOMO EROTIC IS THIS VIDEO?

[glamlove35]

This is my theme song! This music plays when I walk! LOL! Ill dance my 40 yr old ass on top of a table to this song! (sorry there is a certain sense of freedom you get after being married and you get divorced) You feel like efffff uuuuuu! lol!

[BOX5]

When I think of the judge in this video, all I can say is "thanks for the ride lady" in creep show 2 lol yell

@Japoliony Cocaine is a helluva drug

[AOAWHATSUP]

[shedontanks]

[ravemjm]

[ELGORITHM]

[islandgirllove2fete]

oh snap! i forgot how hard cameo use to jam!  lol i don't want to get too serious. i just like having fun. i'm living the single....single....life. i just like having fun. oh yeah! ;-)

[BetweentheSticksUSA]

@ Galentw: It's the other way around. Single Life was from the album of the same name, made in '85, while Word Up came out in '86. Word Up had much more mainstream play, however.

[Galentw]

anyone who think the first ten seconds sounds too much like Word up?

[TheRamirez602]

Loving The SINGLE LIFE........

[cay9499]

I LOVE CAMEO. Strange that I was just a kid when they came out. Single Life was made for me!!

[Shodaime82]

[ROBNY808]

Classic!

[brickchruch]

Up up up sugah

[twiztajoka69]

[nice34gb]

[MyYolanda01]

Love Larry Blackmond and Band. Great Hits you can still swoop the dance floor with.

[DIMP11]

The judge is Tom Wright, who played Morgan on Seinfeld, the Yankee executive who got fired due to George Costanza. LOL

[cchristi]

5 people must be from Uranus!!!!!!!!

[ItchythaWookiee]

I remember seeing this video on Friday Night Videos and it blowing my mind. Larry Blackmon was one kinky mofo.

[marcbbaby]

Love it.... another classic 80s track by one of the best funk bands.

[Tornado1994]

@marcbbaby From late Spring 1985.

[Sweezelballin]

[mrkhalil322]

[dlrinnovations]

@yaaboygip ferrari

[JasonLeonPike]

Great! I saw them on the Single Life tour - they were awesome!

[sagpipes]

Is it just me, or are there other drunk, 31-year old, white and married software engineers loving the hell out of this right now?

[MrSupervazquez]

4 PEOPLE ARE FAN OF HANNA MONTANA ;)

[SexxyChynaD]

oh word up! this song just made me feel better about being single

[MrRamto13]

single

[MaxinePadlock]

I still think he's gay

[jd7779311]

@MaxinePadlock Larry's not gay. None of the band members are. He would probably Bitch Slap you if he heard you say some bullshit like that. Played in the band for 4 yrs.

[MaxinePadlock]

@jd7779311 LOL - I don't think so! And not to mention where were they when their best Vocalists' died? None of them went to his funeral - a yeah I know the family and that is what I was told!! And it was also mentioned they didn't go cause he died of AIDS (we was gay per family member) and they didn't want bad publicity! Sounds like a cover up to me!

[jd7779311]

@MaxinePadlock That is YOUR opinion on a cover up or not. As far as them not going to the funeral I heard otherwise. But hearing from other people and actually seeing and knowing is something else. I heard about the funeral as well. But to call Larry and the other band members gay is fucked up. If you have bitter feeling about how that went down that's on you. But dont get on you tube and start using slurs toward folks you dont even know.

[jd7779311]

@MaxinePadlock That is YOUR opinion on a cover up or not. As far as them not going to the funeral I heard otherwise. But hearing from other people and actually seeing and knowing is something else. I heard about the funeral as well. But to call Larry and the other band members gay is fucked up. If you have bitter feeling about how that went down that's on you. But dont get on you tube and start using slurs toward folks you dont even know. Wld STILL love to se you call Larry that in his face..lol

[MaxinePadlock]

@jd7779311 - Go back and read it baby - I NEVER SAID HE WAS GAY!!!! I said I THINK he is. Get it right baby! And I would not be scared to ask him to his face if he was gay or not - what would he do anyway-not a damn thing!! I really don't even care if he is or not. It was my opinion. Actually you need to just step off!!

[jd7779311]

@MaxinePadlock Oh my bad. You said you "STILL THINK HE WAS GAY". I went back and read it again. And son there is no baby here. You talking to a grown ass man. Older than you. You were the one that brought up Waynes death and lifestyle. But you're right. That was your opinion and you're entitled to it. But when someone that dont even know a pardner of mine makes a comment like that you let them know what time it is. Same if it was you and someone called YOU out. I would do the same thing.

[MaxinePadlock]

@jd7779311 Thanks. But I am close to 50. If your older then cool beans. But anyway I think this was longer then it should of been. Lata

[jd7779311]

@MaxinePadlock Lol..you're right. Peace

[H8RbyN8URE]

@jd7779311 Yes he probably would being the bitch ass nigga that he obviously is.

[TTOPSIE]

was very confused about whether he was gay or if was just the 80's

[Chaos2ThaWorld1]

2k4 my ass its from the 80s

[jtmoney2000]

@Chaos2ThaWorld1 1985 to be exact!

[RealCoolCowboy]
