Shannon - Let The Music Play (original video)

[dccyclist7]

I love the choreography. It's of the vogue ball sensibility seen in the movie "Paris is Burning" with the formal costumes, dramatic pauses, supermodel posing, and deadpan facial expressions.

[rundstedt13]

sappy video; nevertheless, this chick owns this song.

[murderjunkie97]

The dancers make this video. I love it!

[tfoley37]

did they really need those gay dancers in the back ground?

[tfoley37]

if all disco music was this good, no one would have hated disco

[tfoley37]

you can't help but like this song

[Unsharpened]

I'm a white dude....I had a major crush on this chic in the 80's LOL! ......It's kind of funny.....I still do! LOL!

[UnicodeFACES]

I wish I was born when this came out.

[Ajtori93]

[TheSchaedelspalter]

[meka1002]

Who was the Freak'n Choreographer....LAME!!!! I love the Song though

[BoricuaBrotha]

@meka1002 it's definitely an 80's choreographic disaster.

[TheGemkee61]

For sure. Bring the 80's back.

[czickgraf]

The dancers flung themselves around a few times, did an excercize kick or two--that idea sucked. But this song rocks.

[darin90]

The 80's wasn't all sunshine, but Id take that era over this one any day.

[banana1994ify]

Bad ass song to party to!! :)

[DynastyQg9]

The background dancers sucks eggs...This babe was know 1 hit wonder, she had some nice hits to her credit...

[electriksupersperm]

i thought a spanish chick did this song.damn the essays love this shit right her

[londonmichael]

Thumbs up if this is your anthem for 2012! :)

[magadee1000]

This was the day my father bought a night club in London, and I remember everyone break dancing to this, I was 14 and allowed in a club in those days.

She is the Queen...she made my dad rich, but I have no money.who cares, but she is nice, and made me happy.

[murderjunkie97]

That black dude looks like the lost Wayans brother. This video is so great;love how the 80's dancers "groove." I've the let the music play ten times in a row today.

[murderjunkie97]

This makes me miss the 80's so much....what a wonderful time :)

[7408strate]

great song but ilke all music except country

[mareen81]

This is gold!

[puposu]

top

[litebrutha]

that's true.. i remember those days

[AMER1C0]

Alucinante canción, one of the best for dancing clubs!!!

[theocpeters]

One of the greatest hits ot eighties

[MrDevlar]

Get the vinyl out gredwins & start spinning those barnets.......

Peace

[MrTreyf1]

loved this tune.......hahahaa

[altixman]

super dance

[mrpokerlove]

this song is the top no comment

[kyler0b1n]

now there'd be a rap interlude stuck in the middle of the song by some start a record company's about to launch,

[PurpleStarzMe]

miss these type of songs..... these were the songs !!!!!!!! not like todays...all about money, sex, hoes, and shit ... worthless !!

[MrUnc82alum]

@PurpleStarzMe

Having lived in the 70s and 80s, I agree the music was a lot better. But your post made me chuckle. Donna Summer's Bad Girls was about...money, sex, hoes lol.

[paramore9171]

(seriously there was alot of different shit being sold then and alot of crime and violence)

not half the crap that goes round now,if you did owt wrong then you did grt a good slap,some people get away with anything these days,wish i could go back to the 80s and take my son with me to sample it ,cos hes now converted loves it compared to all this modern crap,like that alone song whats in charts,nothing compared to heart alone

[JustBailah]

I miss the 80's. :( No emo drama, no cell phones, no face book people actually had fun talking and hanging out.

[therealraybaby]

#265(Tie)

[Urmel64]

Oh you know was a great time of Music was ?? Respekt All!asaphre

[phillipstreva]

The 80's was the bomb for dance music. I wish Ican go back to do it again!

[slickrthanyou]

The 80's where awesome, so was disco!!!!

[desireeT01]

Yes, it was breakdancing to settle the issues.....Shannon!

[Fiachna]

If it wasn't track like this music wouldn't be like it was today

[NEWYORK2ECUADOR]

I SO SO MUCH MISS THIS ERA--THE 80S WAS MY TIME THIS ONE MY FAVORITES....

[6musica8]

why do the videos get stuck its as bad as listening to a scratched cd

[stilettostrut1]

I sooo miss the 80's. sigh....

[GFlush]

my breaking anthem for years!

[ariffana1]

AWESOME! Im freaking out!

[Floshekia]

Life was grand in the 80's. It was the best erra of life with great music, with no fighting, no guns. If you had beef with somebody, you settled it on the dance floor. Why can't it be like that now a days?

[Toppot101]

@Floshekia wtf were you smokin? seriously there was alot of different shit being sold then and alot of crime and violence

[polyrhythmatics]

@Floshekia the 80s weren't as great as we remember them. Yea this music is great but there was plenty of violence back then. Crack hit in the mid 80s turning cities into warzones. But I like the pop music from the 80s better than the pop music from now no doubt!

[onecbone]

@polyrhythmatics I was about to say the same damned thing!! Crack cocaine era, burned down buildings in the bronx and uptown that got built up after how long?? There was ish in every time period.

[gh3ttog3nius]

@Floshekia Apparently its easier to bust some caps rather than bust a move.

[magadee1000]

@Floshekia  Loved it in 80's .. real music, no fight in the night clubs..now you have to dance with a bullet proof vest on in the club.

[nightowl8936]

@Floshekia

Getting rid of the muslims would be a good start to returning to th happy times of the 80s

[bobblehead]

@nightowl8936 Yeah spread the hate. You're not solving anything except causing more rift. Nice job.

[MerlinSorcerer]

@Floshekia  agreed

[petetomlinson29]

@Floshekia yeah remember when great britain and argentina settled their dispute over the sovereignty of the falkland islands with a freestyle dance battle...margaret thatcher finally ensuring las malvinas would remain under british rule with a perfectly executed power windmill.......

[bifutake]

@petetomlinson29 or when maggie and ronnie crushed the unions. or when america funded the contras in nicaragua through the means obtained from selling weapons to embargoed iran who was at war with iraq, america's best friend at the time. or when u.s. invaded grenada under some bogus pretext. or when israel occupied lebanon. or when cia armed the mujahedeens (then freedom-fighters, now terrorists) in afghanistan. wonderful era for all the peaceniks. if they were blind,deaf&dumb.

[mollistan]

@bifutake We are reminiscing about our childhoods. Don't ruin it.

[bifutake]

@Floshekia lol, it was never like that. except in the music videos.

[driekone]

@Floshekia Hahahahaha. So if someone bumped into a person or had too much to drink and was picking a fight, you would just settle it on the dance floor? What, you'd say, "that's it! We're having a dance-off!" LOL!

[reeree1401]

Free Style!!!!!!

[1novelanenelisboa]

yes! i love this song!

[Mikefoxx55]

This is still the JAM!!

[progrocker69]

29 people dropped the needle and scratched the shit outta the record.

[riodv]

Why is she surrounded by gay, dancing waiters...? LOL

[riodv]

(Gawd, how I miss the 80's...) ;p

[TheAmperion]

Eating a slice on the Grand Concourse in front of Alexanders Bronx shhhh

[coverdale20]

@TheAmperion You need your ass kicked for that one...!!! Up there on Fordham...!!! I used to ride the 4 train up from Harlem and shop put there. God, the good old days.... Orchard Beach, Rye Playland and the block parties...!!!

[prbsnoop1974]

blakdog90 - Regan from The Sweeney?? He was the 70's! ;-)

[blakdog90]

i miss the 80's...the only thing i didn't like about it was Regan.

[malevich2007]

Dancers are not retarded; its called freestyle moron; obviously you did not experience the 80's when style ruled; every week a new band, artitst, video, look, fashion or dance style broke out; 84 alone was Shannon, Midnight Star, Purple Rain (Prince), Colour by Numbers (Culture Club), Cyndi Lauper, Madonna singles, breakdancing and more; dance in the 80s could be robotic and unisex; guys in makeup and teased hair, girls in tuxedo jackets with shoulder pads like linebackers..great days

[coverdale20]

@malevich2007 You got that right.... Everything happened back in the 80's.... Life was grand...!!!!

[707colombia]

i

I guess in about 30 years from now, the next generation will look back on most of the popular hit songs from now, and say "that music and the dancers are retarded", just like the comment from djverdugo7, which if you ask me, THAT name sounds really retarded. Verdugo reminds me of the word "verga" which means "penis" in spanish. So i guess you're just a big penis.

[Haroldbeavis1969]

My goodness. Electronically synthesized music, electronically enhanced voice, In other words, pure 80s. How ironic the song's title. One more thought: Donna Summer she ain't.

[123LDavid]

The 80's were a fun time indeed. I think we had so much fun because we all thought that we were going to die in a nuclear war... remeber the fall out shelters and all of those made for TV nuclear holocaust movies... Remember when President Reagan joke about beginning bombing in five minutes and everyone shit their pants... LOL!

[genildo430]

@123LDavid surely this idiot did not really understand anything that was a great decade the 80s, the songs were certainly worked more and spent a somewhat quiet to hear them.

[1triketec]

This will be an all skate.

[RanityIsOnThat]

28 people didn't let the music play long enough.

[magadee1000]

@RanityIsOnThat They must be black...and will use a race card soon

[djverdugo7]

The dancers look retarded lol funny

[TheGavilan1970]

@djverdugo7 why you watching the damn video stupid bitch? i dont think you dancing better bitch...

[djverdugo7]

@TheGavilan1970 You must dance like they do...gay! lol

[icouldbecontacted]

Can you hear the BASS DROP! I fyou can't go back to school!

[BigRiverRecords]

Beat is hard!

[BluBel123]

One of my fave. freestyle songs!

[atxav8r]

[galajdaisu]

Spiccen-Klasse Music :)

[pagons69]

[pollmeister]

one of the 80s greatest disco tunes

[jeesuusa]

TUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE­EEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[jm111100]

boom boom boom what a killa number

[JoolsyB]

Man, this used to mash up the Powerhouse dancefloor, midweek Breakdance night,1984. Kaboom!

[RichardOrr]

this is still an amazing record all these years later!

[jennfrom110]

Jim tunnell does most of the singing in this as well as give me tonight NOT Shannon

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@jennfrom110 ....So, he sings a little background and you think he is now the lead singer..lol. Come on!......."Jagar"

[Fstyl]

@ausfuhrpramienjagar ....he sings a little more than just background "Jagar" lol like the entire hook!

[Fstyl]

@jennfrom110 well I wouldn't say most, but yes he does sing the chorus in all her hits, which probably has a lot to do with why they are hits! :)

[jennfrom110]

to bad thats not all her singing

[rosepetal932]

Thumbs up if Lisa P. brought you here!

[smithdvr]

memories! no more be said

[fernetpunker]

I love this classic 80´s track!

[M0N3t7]

Wow, she is gorgeous.

[dukejason]

she is hot

[FYPNLP]

great tune. Shit dance routine even for the 80s

[ncnarutouzimaki]

After 10 years of listening to this I STILL LOVE IT

[mjg032]

Great song but what the hell are the dancers doing in the back?!

[xabun]

@mjg032 Michael Jackson wasn't really invented yet :) ... They're tryin' to dance ...

[mjg032]

@xabun Well disco had been around for awhile before that so you'd think they woulda learned something. Guess not though.

[dbeaver317]

@mjg032 having seizures.

[mjg032]

@dbeaver317 LOL yeah thats about right!

[XfuckyouX24]

DAMN!! Whenever this song comes on, you know ITS TIME TO GET DOWN!

[knowthemall]

a still no. 1

[leosoula]

limnean club with my red leather michael jackson jacket,,,, whaT a MUNG.....

[karaokeklaus]

Still a number one....

[kevrev4]

Whenever I hear this song now I think of the Ellen Degenerous Show!

[Shrededwings]

i like this song... only problem i have with this type of song is that they all sound the same... not this one, but it does sound similar to the others

[stuckinda8Os]

@Shrededwings The freestyle genre steals from hip-hop and techno music, which are kinda repetitive. What you're saying makes sense, although this particular track has a unique sexy vibe, as pointed out before. A very cool 80s gem...

[Imadeyourun]

I listen to mainly death/trash metal these days, but I always come back to these classic 80s songs. Shannon was one of if not the best back in that era.

[ThePaularcher]

funky shit or wot!!!!

[bizzelify]

this is one sexy mama,, GO GIRL!!!!!

[badkitty205]

this song was and will always be ,THE SHIT !!!

[mrmrdean1]

i feel so lucky to have lived through and experience the best decade ever.

[CammieGee]

@mrmrdean1 Hell Yeah!!!

[mrmrdean1]

i remember being tugged on to the dancefloor of a disco by a girl i really fancied to this song,first loves. fucking amazing times,80,s all day.

[wns808]

how the hell can 27 people dislike this song? Being born in '79 this was one of my favorite songs as an 80s kid

[gaargy1]

this takes me back... way back.....

[sweetcgardner]

what a jam!

[THEMETAPHY]

...and another "Classic" from my teenage years in the early 80s, still sounds just as good today in 2012. Go for it Shannon-Let the Music Play-Give Us Tonight!

[Diamondblade6]

@ucla4eva u are actually talking about debbie deb

[brighton43]

Are we supposed to be impressed with you lot who keep stating how young you are and liking a record.

[Eliya1995]

now that's music!!!

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

One of the best rug cuttin' songs of the 80's decade!  ....."Jagar"

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

If you aint grooving in your chair right now, you're not alive!........"Jagar"

[holyrain]

@ausfuhrpramienjagar I'm grooving, damnit! Oh yeah, I'm grooving! ;) This song brings back so many fun memories!

[ausfuhrpramienjagar]

@holyrain ... You bet it does! ... This was one of the best 80's songs for cuttin' rug! Along with Tina Marie's "Lover Girl" of course. :- )

...."Jagar"

[marcosgarcia25]

CLASSIC TRACK!!!! Was that Bruno @ 3:30?

[EternalNaga187]

wow I was still a lil kid when i saw this on MTV back in the 80ies, Pure Classic

[ucla4eva]

You know this chick wasn't the actual singer...it was some BBW White/Latina chick

[TheAbraham300]

@ucla4eva REALLY Do tell more I still have this 12" & album on vinyl.

[ucla4eva]

@TheAbraham300 Yeah, so the girl who actually recorded this vocal, this voice you hear here, is not this girl in this video. She was not "marketable" visually so they got this girl to be "Shannon". That 12" would probably be worth something you know!

[Ihateyourfuckinggutz]

@ucla4eva That's not true. You have your 'facts' mixed up. Shannon did sing this song and all the songs on her LP. The story you are talking about is that of Martha Wash who sang the songs for Black Box and C&C Music Factory for which they won grammys but used a different model for the videos. Martha Wash was most famous for her group The Weather Girls. Have you seen Shannon live? I have, it's her voice.

[SHS854EVER]

now this is music and this is a classic and this song rocks and people do not even compare this song with the music of today.The music of today there is to much Bubblegum music and it sucks ohhhh so much the 80's kicked ass

[crazyj4567]

now this is my kind of music they do'nt do it like this no more to bad..

[2jeremyable]

salsa

[jdoggybizzle]

One of the DJ's in the club I work in played this in the middle of their Latin Night this Friday. You couldn't have fit any more people on that dance floor if you stacked them on top of each other.

[denisethepainter]

I kove this song! Brings back great memories!

[smedina731]
