Harpo - Movie star 2008 (1976)

[GRAZIERS7777]

This record brings the memories back. The 70s was simply the best era ever.

[muthafuckindevilsson]

gay.

[Martiiin2008]

@muthafuckindevilsson ... you are gay, fucking yankee!

[muthafuckindevilsson]

@Martiiin2008

Not a yankee but nice try princess

[jacek1991mx]

@muthafuckindevilsson

thank you, goodnight.

[felixinaviles]

excelente.

[AlfieNoakesOhHo]

he looks like a fool, but none-the-less, it's a pretty awesome song

[limpicatto]

It's so ironic. That the only think I've ever hear of him was this cheesy song in YouTube.

[heniu1972]

kocham te nute ich liebe i love

[warren218]

has he got a website?

[callaup]

comme il a changé(comme moi)mais toujours aussi bien

[tessie091]

[australia295]

i think it was great then and still do he very brave man amanda xxx

[due1959]

super song

[EduardvanBeinum]

1:27 Clapping... LOL

[shivalinger]

Nah...don't believe he's miming, is he?

[horizon123]

ABBA, Roxette, Robyn, Ace of Bace, Europe and of course Harpo will be on that list on the most successfull swedish musicians.

[SuperLeonards]

I love all his songs I did wonder myself if he got the Harpo from Harpo Marx, however nice looking man I just wish he would do a concert in the UK! superleonards

[ppaulmorris]

Love this.

[cfpauloc]

Movie Star...

[elvioaw]

Linda! oförglömlig! Underbar låt!

Harpo. Stor sångare!

Linda! inesquecivel! Maravilhosa canção!

Harpo. Grande cantor!

Linda! unforgettable! Wonderful song!

Harpo. Great singer!

Elvio-Brazil

[Yetinski]

Wow he still sounds just like the record...LOL

[harryonlineat]

Naja, vor 30 Jahren musste er noch live singen und da konnte er es auch. Das Playback ist hier mehr als nur eindeutig. Nach über 30 Jahren "im Geschäft" sollte man Playback singen schon beherrschen.

[korvanus]

[casimirBK]

worst. dancer. ever.

rubbish.

[pellford]

he was kicked by a horse in face thats why he dont see so well he trained trotters then

[FLYNNBEAR]

Fantastic Song!

[reminiscent83]

Annifrid (ABBA) in the background-vocals.

[ozdonnsy]

plenty of soul but no soles ...

[Mac1ninja]

he's not completily blind, only his (left eye i think) is blind.

[IanRM]

Hey. . respect to the guy. Why does he always carry that stick? The guy is totally blind. Great singer . . great song.

[TvspelsTont]

it's all about the money

[stopiturhurtingme]

Great song by a telented guy who cannot let it go.... LOL.... looks like an idoit :))

[daanbanaan852]

playback!!

[67Boab]

Just a happy sort of song, if it makes people happy it's got to be good...

[Dariovander]

My future ... 

[wendersooy]

Very good song.

[mosbrick]

Blind but stil the star=) Legend!!

[mosbrick]

Blind and everything but stil the star!! Legend!!!

[8ballfinish]

It was a great hit in 1976, but Harpo hasnt done himself any favours turning up now looking like Frank spencer in bare feet, miming and acting like a right nutter in general

[TONYIRISHPROUD]

THE SONGS GOOD THOU U GOTTA ADMIT

[tgilbert8]

did this guy ever sing anything else? well actually he didn't sing here, the worst bit of miming I have ever seen. It's like pensioners entertainment at the nursing home

[tgilbert8]

can't this old pensioner sing anymore? That has to be the worst miming I have ever seen!

[tadjikou]

que de souvenirs !!!

[mrddwig03]

You Think You A Prime Minister You Think You A Prime Mininster

This Song Would Go Down Well Here In The Uk Wright Now

[nightcode]

he looks like a real movie star, man got so many fans.

[scrumsie]

He looks like a village idiot.

[Sinny1992]

wished the real vocalists were with him too ;) (fridaaa) ^^

[dergelbehund67]

He sings playback, think he hates this song meanwhile but he's still my hero!

Wonderful song, my very first (vinyl) single.

[1SEG1]

Loved it then...still do. Not a huge hit in England....very surprising.

[Whyisthisthat]

Miming Bastard

[fritz51170]

Miming comment

[dripsey3]

@fritz51170 As obvious as the nose on my face. What's the point? I mean it's obviously a recording of the original from 1976. He does the same for Horoscope. Bizzare.

[MrGreenday34]

@Whyisthisthat lmao you made my day xD

[AlfieNoakesOhHo]

@Whyisthisthat in those days ppl were told to mime or they wouldn't get on. The most famous incident in Australia was with the Cure who were not allowed to play their instruments on Countdown, so the loosened all the strings on their guitars so they looked like rubber bands when they played them.

[Nefarioso]

Looks nothing like Harpo Marx.

[49barcelona]

da ist der hampelmann aber ein paar jährchen älter geworden

[thorpeman]

not weathered well has he? no wonder he was miming to the 76 version lol

[bondsee]

still a great song after all those years

well done harpo !!

[lazevola]

Makes me realise how ridiculous I look when I try karaoke

[busbahnh0f]

bei dem lied hab ich imma bauchkribbln :D

5*

[julio19601]

ta parecido com o Elton John e as gatinhas da època que rodou essa cançâo estâo na platèia? cançoes lindas sâo para sempre valeu.............

[MusicForYourFunk]

ironic that Harpo thought/thinks he was/is a recording star.

"it's so bizarre you think you are

a new kind of James Dean

but the only thing I've ever seen of you

was a " youtube video on my laptop screen.

[slippysam1]

good song pity he was miming to the studio recording

[gary4569]

great song!

[yarmouthwolf]

du hast ganz schone musik fritz danke

[SimsMedia]

Moritz Fish! Moritz Fish! Moritz Fish!

[gnomixa]

OMG it´s lol!

Oh yes Simsmedia Mortz is a fish!

To all: when you see Moritz , you musst say"What a nice fish"

gotcha

[SimsMedia]

OMG! He´s such a noob! He´s always under drugs! I hate him! But the Song is pretty cool! Moritz ist ein Fisch! Jaa!

[bombsforyourdad]

nice opinions, except that the fact that harpo is not on drugs...

[oOholyshitOo]

Ich liebe dieses LIED EINFACH...is ne nummer 1 und wird auch immer ne nummer 1 bleiben

[888Homeboy888]

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[sentinale]

Kult total. Selbst nach über 30 Jahren ist das Lied noch der absolute Hammer.

[NatosGranatos]

einfach nur geil dieser Song!!! I LOVE IT!!!

[sunflyen]

you look brill , you are a star from my past keep up the gud work lol x

[dobbo1959]

good song but what a prick he looks

[dirken64]

He has been kicked by a horse in his face and loosed one eye in 1988

[Imago900]

Did you like his style better in the late 70´s or 80´s then? When all have the same style, I know I don´t like his style back then. Now he has his own style.

[ThomasRosenkranz]

plaaayback

[gameboyswebmaster]

ja ach

yes...

[rheuphoric]

(I live in Sweden)

I remember that there was a car commercial on tv a couple of years ago (1997?)  with this song playing in the background...I think it was a Nissan-ad or something. I loved it though!! Would love to see it again!!

[RickyRickSwe]

rheuphoric I have that very rare Nissan-ad on my harddrive!

Will upload it :-)

Best commercial movie ever!

[rheuphoric]

Are you kidding me?? You just made my day with that comment haha!!

That's nice of you...would love to see it again it truly is one of the best commercials ever made!!

Tackar!! Jag ska hålla utkik efter den :)

[RickyRickSwe]

Search for: Nissan Moviestar Harpo

Njut av en gammal klassiker :)

[Imago900]

He is cool as hell! but should sing it live in sted of have it recorded and mime.

But he maybe is too old to sing great any more=) .

[brechbohne666]

omg der spasst hab ihn grad vor 10min live bei uns auf dem dorf gesehen xD oh man wie schlecht^^

[hanselkksc]

Der "Spasst" war vor 30 Jahren ein Superstar.

Und du cooler boy wirst für die nächsten 30 Jahren in deinem Dorf Autos reparieren.

Jedem das Seine... ;)

[brechbohne666]

naja geh zwar nicht davon aus das er jemals ein superstar war mit seinen 2liedern ... die erfolg gebracht haben aber was solls wie gesagt jedem das seine :)

[888Homeboy888]

Jedem das deine ??? WTF also ds geht garnet. ich mein weißt du wo des draufstand .. ja aufm eingang zu buchenwald.. und wenn de net weißt was des is , weißsch och nich. also schäm dich

[michelmischa]

Jedem das Seine, lateinisch "suum cuique", ist einer der klassischen Grundsätze des Rechts. Da gibt es nix zum schämen (außer in Buchenwald).

[71Tasso]

@hanselkksc der hebt auch seine Fuesse dass wir auch ja sehen dass er immer noch Barfuss auftritt

[Francefighter]

Ist das Harpo???

[gameboyswebmaster]

Ja, das ist er.

Das ist Harpo.

[cezary1503]

EXCELLENT

[patchuly737]

From where he got that name; Harpo? It's because of the great Harpo Marx? Somebody knows the answer, please let me know

[darknessky2008]

Nope, he was born as Jan Harpo Torsten Svensson, born 5 April 1950 in Bandhagen, Stockholm.

[sge92]

richtig gut

[Rongart]

it drives the tears in my eyes!!!

[kookietur]

This is the most bizzare video EVER.

[kKRAFTWERKk]

I wholeheartly agree.. but take a look at Greifi76 video of this song...a good advert for Prozac ;)

[Foolanna]

So you saw this too? Wow am I relieved, I was wondering if anyone slipped me some drugs? Bizarre bizarre bizzare.

[Wolle2709]

Eins der schönsten 70-er- Jahre- Lieder

[longhairsRcool]

i like this song but what do people here think this song means, i think it means that all those people like one of my friends that think that one day they are going to be rich and famous should stop dreaming; at least a lot of them since they could never make it or a lot of show business is luck so you should stop dreaming! It's kinda sad in a away like someone's dreams are not working out the way they want what do people here think?

[kaydeetee9]

still a great song that evokes great memories.

[setenteromusic]

very good song!

[Deutzecki]

Harpo the Movie Star.Immer gerne gehört und macht gute laune

Gruß Deutzecki.

[muzyk64]

Harpo is not gay

He met his wife, Carina, at the acting school when he was 19. They got married in 1969, still married.

Now he and his wife live at a farm outside Halmstad in Sweden,

He is blind on one eye and he had lost his sense of smell after severe accident with his horse, he was kicked several times to face, damages were so severe that no one believed he could survive. The frontal bone and the nose had been pressed inwards and the optic nerve on one eye was cut off.

[AmigaRemixes]

standing comedy??

[mukurosanto]

harpo is gay

[mikamaenpaa]

Harpo is a Swedish. He was popular in Sweden and around Europe in the 1970s and is best known for his worldwide hit "Moviestar" which also reached number 24 in the UK Singles Chart and number 2 in the Australian Singles Chart in 1976. Harpo has continued to work in the music business, releasing an album of new material as recently as 2005 and continues to tour to this day. He remains popular in Germany and will tour there throughout 2007.

[souler999]

It's quite embarassing... But I lives in Sweden but I didn't know that.. Ha Ha.. But thanks for that :)

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Was this song about anyone in particular,do you know?

[bladesmark2]

About somebody being in a comercial & thinking that they're a movie star!

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Really? I think you missed the "in particular" bit.

[beamerZ]

Yes, a friend of Harpo's.

He told in a documentary about this song a year ago.

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Thanks.

[badatel123]

Who is that man?!
