Baltimora - Tarzan Boy (Tocata, TVE)

[hotpursuit1984]

Ole como se disfrutaba .. la vida era mas simple

[aguerrero1963]

Please, this is for everybody! Leave this man alone,for god's sake, let him rest in piece!

.

[Baltimora1957]

Really guys, it's bad enough people call Jimmy McShane a faggot but now ya'll are saying he's arrrogant just because of the way he acted on stage. Seriously? I think he seemed very happy and enjoyed what he was doing, like he was always having a good time. Personally I think he seemed to be a very genuine, loving, caring beautiful human being. Not to mention he had a gorgeous smile that was to die for. If you having nothing NICE to say about him then keep your opinions to yourselves.

pobre por el vih

Since when did Ted Danson become a singer

[potrezaml]

re-N.B. : even the other members of the group -talking about the musicians- had more style,even though they were less "extravagant" in their attitudes. That drummer, the guitarist and the guy behind the keyboards rock it, cool as they are ! These guys are Italians, if I'm not mistaken; and Italians have a reputation of being hot-blooded people ; but there, it's that Irish guy (the lead singer) who's foolin' around like a queer ! Yeah, that's odd...

[potrezaml]

N.B. : That's cause this guy -the lead singer- seems to be ..."loud" ; even in real life, he must have been like that ! His stage behavior shows that he was probably arrogant and also a bit "crazy", perhaps ! I learned, not so long ago, that he died from AIDS around 1995, which means that he contracted HIV during the mid-1980s (or late 1980s) and this did not even surprise me ... In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised if I learned that he was gay . Only my opinion; thumbs me down like you want..

[potrezaml]

I'm a bit surprised to see that it's "conventionnal" (acoustic) drums that the drummer plays on, 'cause when you hear it and you don't see it live, the "percussion" sounds at the very beginning (and that are repeated after) are the typical sounds that one of these hexagonal Simmons drums would generate (unless these acoustic drums were mounted with piezoelectric triggers, but I doubt it...) . Regardless, this is the typical representation of the mid-1980s that gives me headache...sorry!

[haddeck]

Classic 80's

[pasciente]

[sany9628]

As musicas de Baltimora nãao morreu continua tocando pelo mundo inteiro ! É o maior sucesso dos anos 80.

[MadcapKid23]

is he wearing pads or something under his shirt?? looks inflated.

[DoYouThinkForUrselF]

Hey tarzan boy your banana is showing. Embodies all that was wrong with the 80's. But i can appreciate it because at least it was original unlike today.

[ralph352]

Y pensar que murio el hombre. Aun recuerdo aquella epoca. RIP

[colorblindstudio]

Didn't this guy lip sync these songs?

[JasperineTheRogue]

@colorblindstudio ye

[Nikolasnegr]

Baltimora 80s Name is Maurizio Bassi 23 May 1957 ITALIA

[10141Bloodslayer]

how does he move like that

[olliojenarter]

@10141Bloodslayer Magic sauce!

[UncappingBadger]

One hit wonders (as far as I am aware)....but what a hit!!

[LuckyLee589]

Nobody can top his dancing skills ! Hate all you want but damn this is what you call classic. Don't mess with it ! Love the song !

[phileustace]

Arguably the greatest ever Italian pop song. The 80s had many successful bands from USA, England and Australia ..... this particular song would count as Italy's main contribution to 80s music !! .... and it is right up there in terms of quality, production and groove ..... "the ferarri" of 80s music is "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora !! Forza Italia !!

[RaydarUK]

@phileustace Don't forget the contribution of Northern Ireland, where Jimmy McShane came from!

[cottonceena]

I LOVE YOU, JIMMY! rip

[baigos]

si la pasan al reves se escucha un spot publicitario de berlusconi

[israfel33]

Homofobos..el dejo huella en la historia...vosotros pasareis por el mundo sin pena ni gloria

[italoforever1]

One of the finest italo track of all.

You and Tarzan boy will be fo-re-ver in my heart.

[italoforever1]

Che mito della italo e' stato Baltimora e che forza questo brano che nn mi stanchero' mai di ascoltare.

rip jimmy

[palch07]

Wow, such hate. If you nothing nice to say about the deceased. Please refrain from posting. One of my favorite songs. RIP Mcshane.

[GreatLash75]

It hurts ...those mean things said about Jimmy. What good does it do anyone? NONE. And who are they to judge? Like their life is sooooo perfect. He was very talented. Unfortunate his life ended the way it did, and so soon, on this earth. He better be dancing like this in his next life... smile.

[Faelsun]

Yeh poor guy hell all he did was make top ten single and make people dance and shit, it's not like he was strapping a bomb to his chest and blowing up school children or anything. Just a happy gay dude who liked dancing ... and tight pants... very tight pants.

[adycamel]

buenisima rola

[1488slav]

dances like a faggot

[liamsutcliffe1]

@1488slav thats because he was a faggot

[x0Mercury0x]

dat ass.

[baigos]

seguro que berlusconi escucha mientras esta fumando un abano en una orgia con prostitutas, travestis y miembros del parlamento al lado del mar mientras en la tele pasan en uno de sus canales un partido arreglado de alguno de sus equipos

[gima1909]

@baigos

Mejor haber chicas que te lo chupan que ser un maricon como Zapatero!

Sei proprio uno sfigato con una cabeza deshabitadas.

[MonoCabron123]

obvious playback is obvious.

[themoti16]

[robasci00]

@spotcopy what you listen is Maurizio Bassi's voice (kayboards), McShane is lip synched! and Baltimora was an Italian synthpop collective... he was mainly a good dancer

[hugo5661]

[GreatLash75]

Love!!!!! This is the embodiment of the 80's.....at its finest.

[laughingboy48]

The song is really has a nice beat to it, but Tarzan Boy swung on far too many vines and it was the death of him. He sure put on a great performance, though.

[chriswatts83]

It's Sam Sparro!

[hildalisset]

[juanpaulajuan]

[hmsmedia2005]

Jimmy McShane, from Derry in Northern Ireland, was the frontman of the group. Lead vocals were performed by Maurizio Bassi, including lead vocals on their biggest hit Tarzan Boy despite the fact that McShane lip synched while appearing in the Tarzan Boy music video and not Bassi. Bassi was also the group's keyboardist.

[pennyfarthingpapsmea]

man.. i wish i could have been there cutting rugs..

[couponsexpired]

SHOULDER PADS, A LITTLE TOO MUCH~

[talleresdecordobaful]

PUTO

[NBAfan91]

Jimmy McShane was gay right??

[united4us]

@NBAfan91 , yes he was m8 hahaha, he died of aids

[izammayo]

miralo er tio pa comerselo,....eso lo hace ahora y lo apalean...

[Krongito]

coca cola light ojajaojaoj

[jc4269410000]

Fuck u who ever gave me a hums down!fuck u!

[leviathan216]

yeah they play it at gay clubs so i hear .

[Kahn2580]

old hit :D

[Chessjock]

I think he is lip syncing

[leviathan216]

yeah he is , it sounds identical to the LP release so it must be. Flippin sweet tune!!

an awsome gay anthem.

[Chessjock]

gay anthem?

[Chessjock]

I know what it is, I just mean, the thought that gays need an anthem is odd. On a large scale their "struggle" for "equality" is bull. Real causes have anthems, not some "awareness" thing

[Figueroart]

Un Tip cómico, que en México ya es conocida la broma en varias partes sobre esta canción: Cuando en algún lugar pongas ó esten tocando esta rola, en seguida le preguntas a quien tú consideres quien sabe el nombre de la misma: Oye, ¿cómo se llama esta canción?, te contestará: "TARZAN BOY", A lo que tú le contestas: "NO CHITA! TÚ TE QUEDAS!"... jajaja es efectiva!

[jc4269410000]

didnt he die of ads!

[UKSazzy67]

No, he died of AIDS, not advertisements.

[jc4269410000]

i know he died of aids i speld lit rong my bad!im dislicksik!

[BRIANJOSEJOEL]

TIENE UN AIRE A MIGUEL BOSE

[Divignolli]

Pues sí,la verdad.Tenía una pinta de gay que te cambas."Tarzan Guy",Jejeje.

[Jaxxoon]

Malaka Boy...

[bouncebass]

su cantante JIMMY MCSHANE murio en el año 1995 de SIDA...!!!

[Divignolli]

Que le quiten lo bailao-y nunca mejor dicho-.Más vale morir de SIDA que OXIDADO.

[cranstheman]

i love the dance at the beginning of the video

[uridium64]

O.M.G

[gitano045]

........playback like a mtrfkr.....lipsyched

[zagrebpride]

he never sang that song, it was his producer

[hodges101]

I like this song, but you can quite clearly tell he is miming =]

[tonilado]

El tema es una pasada....

[tonilado]

Esto si que es musica dance,lo la porqueria que hay ahora.

[ereese18]

Im pretty sure hes Italian

[mayonakagardenia]

Actually, he was from Londonderry, Northern Ireland  = )

[trossachs2003]

That's what I heard. I think that Baltimora was the whole act ie the writer and producer but this fella was an Irish Dancer who was there to front the whole thing...not even sure he sang on the record.

[tazrulz68]

he didnt sing on the record either. he was only a front man so anytime you see him singing this song he is lypsyching

[Vhannoy]

Nice shoulder pads.

[Sexycholita01]

baltimora , great song , arriba balt, de freddie lopez

[Dodosareawesomebirds]

Baltimora is my favorite.... Finally an Irishman makes a techno song

[jvmacias]

Muy característiaco en los 80 el baile de la gente de un lado a otro jaja

[mayonakagardenia]

No, he was from Northern Ireland.

[FGM72]

El tema es una pasada,un clasico ya del Italo Disco....pero ésta actuación es un pesimo Playback.....

[Sexycholita01]

great song arriba Baltimora of freddie lopez

[petrsimunek]

nej a nej sparta praha do toho

[camaroman101]

nice sweater. love this song!

[melissszza]

no ¬¬ he isn't

[wtfareusaying]

No offense but are they gay?

[tpkeefe]

The singer was. Died of AIDS.

[eliud82]

Don't know why people gave you the negative thingy. He did died of aids in 1995

[PowderedToastmensch]

Nah, just very 80s

[melissszza]

rest in peace (':

[deliman]

shoulder pads!!

[praeser1]

geil

[HeroOfTheGuitar]

reminds me of great nostalgic times. I'm kind of disappointed though, because this whole live show is a flop, because the whole band is faking.

[Lilith81]

Most bands sync in live shows, so learn to live with it...

[HeroOfTheGuitar]

i am living with it, i was just stating that it disappoints me, its called an opinion.

[Ryansgirl29]

Right around the time this song came out,I was starting to think about boys more :D

R.I.P Baltimora-your music will live on forever!!!

[Zabuza28]

R.i.p Baltimora
