This is my second time watching this video and it is exactly how I visioned it when I was playing GTA: Vice City Stories. Bunch of people dancing around with Jheri Curls. The 80s= the only exceptional time for Jheri Curl.
"Operator" is their best song, but I'm diggin' this one as well. The use of a vocoder to alter their voices is rather well done, and their costuming budget must have been immense. (though their music videos on film, rather than taped, have a greater artistic flair...)
And if only Jheri Curl was made with a formula that didn't ruin fabric...
@timdodge: saw them 3 days ago and they were just as awesome as when I saw them 25 years ago. Wish they'd played freak-a-zoid this past weekend though!
My wife got to see them in concert in the '80's!!!!!!!! LUCKY her!!!!!!!!! I'd LOVE to still see them in concert!!!!!!!!! I bet it was a GREAT concert!!
this was before auto tune...you had african free form dance with a technological edge...the dawn of the computer era was upon us....Jonzun Crew was up on this, too with Pack Jam
at 114 the lady in the middle was dancing upside down with her booty shaking at the camera on another part of the video, they cut it out of the video! does anybody have the other version
going to see Midnight Star tomorrow night. The city we live in has free concerts in the summer an they have booked Midnight Star!!! Gonna be awesome to see if they are still "funkalicious"!! Still have their "casette" Loved it !!!
This is my favorite song and video by Midnight Star and I saw them one time in concert in the '8-'s and they were GREAT!! And yes, they sang this song!!
i dont and never will do cocain no one can torcher me to take. because if people wanna feel great while haven sex and they do the drugs to give it a kick. obviously the sex suck us they hadda giveit an upper kick. if the sex is between two people are good than why coke your self up kus u could have one bad day and you diefromit
That a very funny statement. I hate the Jheri curl hair product. Every time my cousin would come to my house the oil from his Jheri curls would ruined the living room sofa. For an 80s standard of music this is a peculiar video.
Does any1 else think the ladys face starting at 0:40 seconds is a lil funny and intense.. and she also look like the lady that played bernie macs wife on his tv show..
I want to go BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBack to this time :( I'm a FRAKE-A-ZOID STUCK IN 2'11 WIT LIL WAYNE WAYNE AND DRAKE AND DEM UDDA YUNG'N'S LOL DEUCE-SAYSSSSSSS LOL
LOVE Midnight Star but this video makes me think that the original band auditions must have read, "... must be willing to be shirtless in addition to playing and instrument."
I GREW up listening to this back in Omaha!!! true the clothing was corny BUT....that was the "style" for groups back then....
back then...everybody was a Z-O-I-D-S...hell...its better than half the "booty booty booty booty rockin evrywhere" music...that only really be done in a club...with a pole...LOL
This is awesome in every respect! I didn't realise how much of the Freakazoid track/clip Missy Elliot ripped off for "Lose Control" though. She's not as original as she likes to endlessly proclaim...
