Klymaxx - Meeting In The Ladies Room

[djshokre]

wicked :)

[lynxlugga]

This was the jam point blank period!!

[romeovision2006]

This video would have been nothing without Bernadette Cooper! Everything she did was classic!!!!

[ReddzVoice]

I love BERNADETTE! She was the founder and heart of KLYMAXX! She has a presence that is undeniably sexy and strong. CLASSIC!

[str8outtatexas1]

klymaxx the mid 80's my high school years. these young ladies could sing and play their asses off with the instruments. where's all these gone? man i just see how any 1 can listen to this new shit. the rap aka "crap" is horrible. there's no more r&b groups. give me the 70's-80's, early 90's. i hate to see how this group broke up. money,ego's and some 1 telling u to go solo is a big mistake. y does groups do that? ride that shit out until the wheels fall off. great group destroyed by greed.

[Sharist1]

Is that the karate kid in an electric chair?

[KNDAWG74]

Any video that has Poppin' Taco in it is going to be The Bomb!!

[jadorenicole1]

[royalhighness411]

[worldcupfan22]

Man, I wish I lived during the 80's. I think most popular music is today is trash and I'm only 15.

[vmiddleton1127]

@ Kimmy 1984..Yeah Kimmy, it was years before I realiized that was Vivica Fox was in this video......lol..When I told my friends about it they didn't believe me, until they watched the video verrrrry carefully..lol..

[cupid4040]

Ladies, remember when we use to go to the bathroom to settle shit ?

[regcart]

These girls were the BOMB and damn good musicians.....WOW Go Klymaxx!!!!!!!

[kimmy1984]

Did anyone else notice Vivica Fox in this video.

[PhillyGirl1]

where, I so missed that one

[TamekaGilliam]

This song is the joint. You all need to get with the program. 80's music was and will always be the best music ever.

[MrMemories]

Recently, I was trying to remember why I hated the 80's so much, but this song just reminded me why.

[smdockersy]

LOL!!!

[vmiddleton1127]

Bernadette was the shit!!! Very talented young lady..Flamboyant as hell, but that was just her thing that set her apart from everyone else.

[vmiddleton1127]

Watched them on Unsung..Some still look good, but Robin!! Wow! Guess chick had a rough life after leaving the group. Hope she got herself together.

[kimmy1984]

@vmiddleton1127 I didn't realize that was Robin at first. All I can say is Wow!!

[1musicencyclopedia]

Oh the memories of this song. We were partying to this at ''The Carolina West'' in L.A. back in 1985.

[myenmoni]

Watching the Klymaxx story on Unsung now! These were some BAAAD ladies!

[nikesk8er12]

WTF happen 2 ol girls teeth!!!!!?

[ifitdprofile2]

@nikesk8er12 ... hahahaha you must be watching unsung.... i am rolling too

[BillieJeanluvsMJ1]

[RavenBlade234]

I saw this on Unsung too. They were so talented!

[Shavon84]

i know right...they were an raw talent women...i hate that happend to them....

[afrogroov]

WTF is UNSUNG???

educate me pleeeze! not from state

[1musicencyclopedia]

''Unsung'' is aired on the cable channel TVOne and is a show ''like a mini documentary'' that reports about certain recording artists that did not get their due as far as popularity and or not much great chart success but were a great talent and fans had loved. Some artists that ''Unsung''' had shown in the past year had died i.e. (Phyllis Hyman,Donny Hathaway,Minnie Riperton) before the artist music career took off to greater heights.

[furaha35]

I don't think she has to worry he is working the crack out his system.......just kiddin its coke!

[KeOnAakaBaByKn3wZ]

they started and ended the group befor i waz born..... and i still luv their music

[66darkside]

I would have loved to see them and the time go head up I've beeen saying this for yrs klymaxx and the time are mirroed after one another especailly morris an burnette,fenderlla and terry lewis ,robin gryder and jimmy jam..... lord how I wished those groups went father and reached their full potintial

[bfly1]

I watched unsung and im sad the group had to end that way. They could of went really far but it didnt work out. They were good the only all female and too they could have did some big things.

[justicenc]

classic.  "DON'T SLAP ME..CAUSE I'M NOT IN THE MOOD."

[Arden15yr]

I like this song. And I'm 15! gotta thank yall grown folks for letting me hear good REAL music.=)

I cant hardly stand that new crap on the radio.=p

[FREEDEJATAYLOR]

[device210]

[Sparkedskate]

We are so glad you jam to this one. Please do checkout my interview where I talk about writing this one right here. Also checkout some of the new things also

Reggie Calloway

[niajhabenson7]

well..........that was um........different haha very 80's. I found some old records of my moms and was curious to what they sounded like since i was born in 84 i don't have a record player :) haha

[kevhar12]

Can`t wait to see the "Unsung" documentary on them on T.V. One Sunday.

[MiamiPush2theLimit]

I LOVE Unsung! :D

[kevhar12]

Me too!

[BabyCz1NOnli]

lovin` thee qlitter`d wiq`z !

[kecola]

If I could find a guy that knew how to pop n' lock while sitting in a chair I would be in heaven lol. That's kinda hot :)

[sugafoot777]

who was that guy? i forget his name but he was one of those guys that was in all the breakin videos/movies back then

[device210]

POPPIN TACO /LOOK HIM UP

[kecola]

Yep, that's Bruno Falcon aka Poppin Taco. He was Michael Jackson's choreographer for 18+ years along with Timothy Solomon aka Poppin Pete. They're a big reason Michael was able to move so fluidly :)

[jamaicanlovrboy]

look at popping taco in his prime

[darrick1972]

Was that John Leguizamo pop-locking???

[ajax420336]

One time, I got way too drunk at a club and accidentally walked into the women's room.  Surprisingly, this video is a LOT like what I saw.

[chamien2007]

whoah .. poppin taco i like this guy , the men who's dancing with the chair. mj's coach dancer

rip mj..

[1rubyd]

Bernadette was a bad B****. I love her.

[motownmommy]

Bernadette was a bad B, she was the female version of Morris Day.

[ayabtiyah2004]

@motownmommy oooooooooohh u aint lying ! I thought the same thing !

[mizzpretee]

LOL@motownmommy Yes she was!

[AlphaTOY]

That damn Bernadette Cooper didn't want to be slapped ... notice ... they didn't slap her either ... why? ... cuz she wasn't in the mood ... gotta luv it!

[70sbaby80schild321]

I was 8 when this came out in 1985. Damn, they don't make music like they used to.

[ReeLKnoX]

This song is about that Yayo!!!

[D3TOX3R]

What else was the 80's about?lol

[MsBeall502]

@ReeLKnoX

Ha Ha!!! Hey it is what it is!!

[jawneblaize]

Man I loved them...That chic with the short hair (don't slap me), that was my girl!!! She got that crazy Lady Gaga appeal to me, but the bass player was my future wife!!

[evolnieveilebi]

Don't...slap...me!

Gotta love it!

[creamepuff99]

my mom is in this video, she's the man stealer (:

i'm so proud!

[eternity812]

I still sing this song was the best ever

[skepticism101]

this song is hilarious

[bronxdiscofever]

Love the song

[9johnnies]

It is a shame the trash they let on Youtube!

[9johnnies]

I never liked this group! No talent whatsoever!

[PopCulture20]

then why come to this vid dumbass? get a life loser

[iluvmyboba]

You gotta love Bernie's top in this video.

It reeks 80's and it is very unforgiving.

I bet she still has a picture of it and tells her nieces "Yep, heifer's that's your Aunt, wearing a top that you can only wish to wear". I LOVE Klymaxx!!!!!!

[kandiceclaisse]

awesome song it reminds me of the time i used be able to go out. those were the days

[lonnie1981]

ok should i just no be turned on that he is chained to the turntable

[bigzion1]

ha ha you learn something new every day such as this; a woman with a fat tush must have an instrument they play or there focused on the wrong thing, multitask, pluck some strings,blow,or play some keys while i smack that!

[cllamont]

I banged Bernadette a year before this song was released. It was better than I thought it would be.

[emailrasco]

So this song was about doing cocaine... right? I just assume every song from 1985 was about doing tons of coke...

[allandy4u]

i dunno. i thought it was about giving some chick the beat-down for messing wit her man.

[PhillyGirl1]

randomly thought of this song and just had to hear it

[camillion4]

this cat is pop locking in a chair

[kurojin97]

yup!!! Da'ssss dat old school right there, son!! Look at Poppin' Taco!!!

[mickey41138]

racist

[kurojin97]

umm...no....that's his dance/street name, dude....

[Makgame]

LOL Is that the dude from Michael Jackson's Movie Captain EO in the red pants doin' the robot sitting down. It sure looks like it.

[ccleroy1234]

You know klymaxx never got the props they deserved. They were the female version of the Revolution and the Morris Day bands, man. Great memories!!

[blacksnk]

They are in the music history. First and only successfull all-girl RnB group that played their own instruments.

[ccleroy1234]

I hear ya blacksnk!! I can't think of any other female groups that was rocking it like them.

[blacksnk]

"A Taste Of Honey" comes close. I think they got back together too. I've seen some recent pics of Hazel Payne and Janice Marie Johnson and they look amazing for their ages. I've always had a crush on Hazel!

[msvybe916]

Clazz-ick!!!

[carleton28]

Whats the lady name that be doing all the talking, damn she sexy

[KEKE0810]

Bernadette Cooper

[blacksnk]

You should check out her solo album. Great stuff!

[tierawwf]

Poppin Taco!

[bookem244]

I made a living in the mid 80's off their music. God i miss those days

[miacraig]

did anyone catch klymaxx of VHI's Bands Reunited a few years ago?????

[wagrailroad]

I did. Sad.

[KEKE0810]

Yes I watched. it..they had some issues.....fyi.. They are going to have a Unsung episode on TVONE 11/1/09

[MissJaynet]

did yall catch Vivica Fox at 2:35. luv this song i'm glad my mom schooled me about them

[whosthedj6]

major this!!

[vfj67]

lord i remember when this came out...i came out and all my friends would run to the dance floor to dance!

[Lexcena4evera]

its popin

[yokeelee]

cool 80s vid

[itsoeazy]

the guy in the red pants is from breakin he was the one with the guy and chick that turbo and ozone battled in the club scene.

[Katobodybuilder]

Some of you guys are too young to remember but this is one of the coolest "ladies" band of the 80's. The hair, fashions and dance might seem funny now; Don't diss what you don't understand.

[vfj67]

i remember!

[JBMusicONLINE]

Heck yes! My Aunt was one of the originals!!

REAL DIVAS NEVER DIE!!

[serglinkk]

Funny .. yet an amazing video with a nice beat of a song.

[wwslick49]

Beyonce female band has nothing on Klymaxx

[BellaaMarlene]

pretty embarrassing the way the guy in the red pants is acting...has a seizure?

[wagrailroad]

Why is he tied to that weight lifting machine? And his hair! A mullet or a rat tail?

[jamire9]

the "guy in the red pant" is Popin Taco, one of the baddest, hardest hitting, and unreal poppers there ever was. He did that video with a 103 temp. and flu. And, Oh, by the way-he was Micheal Jacksons dance trainer for over 15 years. how embarrassing.

[discoprescription]

great track love it to the bone!

[sunshinesda1]

deserve way more credit than what they get. i have yet to see another female group to match this talent. (when i was little i use to love to sing this one in the mirror)

[daycan1]

exactly. these ladies were pioneers and deserve credit.

[80sbaybe]

i remember being the flower girl in my uncle's wedding i was 4 1/2 and i was singing this in the ladies room

[deletenowwhat]

i'll be back real soon...............i was to young to know about this song, but i like it now.i was born 01/01/83. anyway i think me being a baby i missed most of the 80's

[charliemaebrown]

U can't tell me that Bernadette "Slap Me " Cooper wasn't the shizz back n' the day! Lol.How about Joyce "Fenderella" Irby who sounded exactly like Michael Jackson on "I Miss You"! Now that was music!

[Kevodah]

Poppin' Taco

[Soundaddictscom]

POPPIN TACO!!!!!

[shannonmccray]

Hey, I remember the guy break dancing in the chair being in the movie Breakin and also in Michael Jackson's Captain Eo and if I'm not mistaken he was in Lionel Richie's video 'All Night Long'. I love to watch him break dance

[Discoboy504]

UH OHHHHH!!!!!! LOL

[djcaezar]

i usedto do the electroboogie to this song back in my days. werdup johncb1963 im w/ u on da one.todays music suck-ass w/ the stupid vocoder voices n no fukkin talents @all.

[johncb1963]

This is a song about a woman being clasy,sexy,and having attitude! Not like these days where the industry churns out these no talent sluts with their breasts hanging out,these girls had real talent,they could sing,dance,and play instruments,no to mention they put out some of the best dance tunes of the 80s!

[donellgeorge]

ELECTRO ROCK in the building.........

[shelleyk80LoveClub]

i luv this song but what up with mr. mullett trying to do the robot while sitting down

[MrsKJackson1]

i love this song

[hiphopefx]

what is this song really about

[TyjaluvsChaka]

Oh it's about a first round draft-pick diva slumming in the hood!

[GirthReynolds]

Basically the chorus is about going to the ladies room to "powder your nose" (1:17) "somebody pass me a mirror" (1:51). Context is a woman brings her man to the club (in an wheeling electric chair) and other women want him so she decides to snort some blow to get right and show the other women up. Thats what's up! don't slap me cause i'm not in the mood

[etriplethefirst]

wow...i never knew that and now i get it...

[hiphopefx]

yeah and i get thumbs down for it :-\

[Genesyxx]

2:32 MC Hammer spotting!

[CertifiedGwopBoy]

that aint no damn mc hammer.

[kayser152]

Was that Rosie Perez? Look at the cornball doing the robot..beeuuf..

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

[Triple3Deuce2]

[joeblow394]

[pray4chicken]

[shiangel04]

This is much an awesome song. I love the 80's music. Its when i was born.

[billyjacc]

OMG!! DA 80's!! (LOL) I was in high school (11th grade) when this came out.

Too kool, but please get rid of the androdunos men 4 good..

[PostiveCoollady]

[Pugartes]

[losme]

[vanitystarr1]

[taysdad45]

[rockman002]

I went to the club last week and pulled up a seat and danced just like that, and NOT ONE chick came up to me!! What am I doing wrong?? I even have the same body and hairstyle.

[kevinm4435]

did you include the oversized earing? i think that's what might have made the difference for ol' red pants.

[kunfussed213]

LMAO @ "OL' RED PANTS"

[CertifiedGwopBoy]

yea, that and about 20 years.

[BluBel123]

I like the dude dancing in the chair

[drzlsmooth1]

poppin taco

[mmargate]

Yeah!....We was all that....and then some....Okay!

[cupid4040]

This use to be the coolest girl group back in the day.

[lifesaver72]

Klymaxx was such a good group. Definitely underratted. I loved their music. It's just sad that there is bad blood between a couple of the members. It would be nice to see them all reunite again.

[MrJustified1]

Are there any other Klymaxx songs or videos in the same vein of Meeting in the Ladies Room or Men All Pause that feature Bernadette Cooper?

[nosferatusbutt]

Didn't that dude battle Taco in Beat Street?

[prince86kevin]

Hmmm, from the looks of the video, it seems like something Lady Gaga might have got some of her inspiration from.

By the way, what the hell was that all about? "Don't slap me...cuz I'm not in the mood."

[TheElementAu]

ON THATNOTE>>>TO Lady Gaga & Rihanna aint nothin new under the sun.

[isabelydancer00]

sommebody pass mme a mmirror..hurry up, cause I aint have mmuch timme ...i gotta get right back..cause theres a hunk of a mman I left behind = that would be mmy Mmmichael - the yummiest husband in the whole wide world! Ik hou van jou, mmmy Mmmichael!!!

[1IslandGurl]

GOOD EYE!

[ehutflies]

Fab! After saying "don't slap me" for the last (25) years - I finally see the video. Thanks!

[smortonlcfl]

go on and powder that nose:)

[Machelle3200]

damn this was my jam..me and mother always thought this chick was a little psycho..lol

[charmaine1100]

That's my shitt,"Dont slap me,I'm not in the mood"Bernadette,she was my fav in the group.If u wasn't born in the 70's,u dont know nothin bout this,baby!

[savyrules227]

[anishaism]

Lolyd's mother is the one playing the guitar she was kickin ass back when

[CrescentSword]

For Real; thats his mom? That was wifey back in the day.

[jbooker0914]

lolyd who......the singer?

[FaithInTheFaux]

So is this song about doing cocaine or what?

[DramaticSoul77]

No, it is something that the girls do to this day. When they go to the the club, they would go to the restroom where they gossip about the guys they met, who looks hot on the dance floor, what guy they going to fuck, what girl is wearing what and etc. It's a meeting, but they do this in the club. You see, when guys go to the bathroom, we just piss, shit and leave. But woman like to gossip and talk. You'll learn when you deal with woman.

[lavelldeacon]

YES THAT TO..... .

GO POWDER YO NOSE
