[IndisputableAttitude]

I love this stuff. Rocky and the other performers are so expressive. Gotta luv the shade, man. Coolness everlasting.

[JLSPFOC]

Is the guy in yellow Nicholas Cage?

[Lillix13]

Please never delete this! =)

[Lillix13]

so who is the one who sings the beginning of the base?

[mrrocknrolluk]

Outstanding hits from the past, still keeping the music going in Iraq, thanks Rocky

[novapup2001]

Awesome! Love it. Although its a cover of a Joe Meek meets DooWop obscurity, its well-chosen and shows the "openness" of the New Wave era to pop creativity that was (like now) so lacking in mainstream at that time. Perfect fun for the dawning of the video age. I miss this this band.

[zakkori]

if you dont like this song you dont exist

[bjr43]

I like this version, also I like the version by The New Commers too.

[tez601]

wat a brilliant group they were

[antzam614]

Is it me or does it seem like Rocky Sharpe is high out of his mind in all his videos and that is why he wears those sun glasses, so you cant see his eyes?????

[mikethefoto]

niktp,

Typical Yank response.

Don't like something, lets resort to violence. On current US performance you would probably lose

[Mairaen]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. :|

[Doowopski]

"...note from space. The Martians plan to throw a dance for all the human race. Papapapaummeemee...."

[Guardiandraik]

Whoa

[kakarrata]

Hi.

What do they say at the beginning of the song?... "We have just discovered an important... ???

Thanks.

[dkfelix]

Try to look after "Martain Hop" + "lyrics on the internet!

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

I'm gonna buy me a burger king and cruise it up and down the road

[alfierockanrolla]

Panda de colgaos!! Que tiempos!!

[orangie84]

there is another version yet to this song but I am not sure if you can actually get it..

does anyone remember the 1990's movie called

"Martians go home"

they played a really cool cover to this song and I am trying to get it..

[cranston19]

i hate this

[JRussoBuffaloNY]

u suck at life

[ashleigh977]

never heard this before but i like it....its funny

[Oldiesmann]

This is a remake actually. The original version was done by the Rain-Dells in 1963. This is a great cover though and the video is great.

[orangie84]

look up the ran dells it's their song and they did it first..

[JETTA500]

Crema!

[petitoh89]

balumbaaaaa!!

[supermariobop]

¡¡¡ Forever KOCKY!!!

[Sereitei]

This so has to be covered by someone of this generation!

[philbloke]

Another 60s song that was rehashed. This version was great, but dig out the original (by the Ran-Dells) for a real treat!

[mjfindlay1968]

This was one of my favs when I was a kid. THANKS FOR THIS> I laughed, cried and had to dance/sing along.

[homemoviescolorado]

People over 12 would start watching MTV again if they showed videos like this. Cheap silly and fun.

[bzzzzap]

Every generation must embrace the Martian Hop. Will someone please re-do it for the 21st Century?

[newall7]

aint erd it in years

brilliant

[zoro84321]

great song and well done by rocky! fun song

[elkabong2501]

Would you like some bread to dip into all of this cheese?? This is genius!!

[supergav67]

Mainly after hearing another one of my best mates with wife & kids to support got paid off (credit crunch.Recession.Board members didnt get a big enough share dividend.any bloody excuse) &, feeling a bit down ,turning on my Radio,& hearing a hundred dreary versions of hAllelUyAH.,again!

Ok,maybe not Rocky Sharpe to save the day but groups we used to have in abundance that were unpretentious,talented (that rules out anyone in X Factor) & ( gawd knows we need this) -CHEERY!

.

[supergav67]

Theres been crucial times in UK pop history when the charts are full of unpretentious fun groups.Glam Rock during the 3 day week. Barron Knights during the strikes..Groups like Rocky Sharpe at the begining of thacherism.Gawd knows we could do with these groups NOW!

[kaine977]

Another 80's cover of an early 60's song. Although I like this version better than the Ran Dells.

[joeytwintail]

Hey, it's the Aquabats 20 years early! Brilliant.

[ferjo99]

BALUMBAAA

[blazkowicz1]

MARTIAN HOP!

[Amphipolie]

I don't know why but I really like this song!

[blazkowicz1]

nice song... BalumbaxDD

[parisboogie]

disturbing????? ive herd it all now,this band was great.....

[Davett42]

[NightBadgers]

disturbing

[NightBadgers]

[goblue1170136]

HAHAHAHAHAH 2:05

[goblue1170136]

[Junknine]

Truly disturbing :D

[Alby1952]

Great song. Got the original by the Randels, this is far the best version. Love the video, laugh everytime

[luckyx777]

Martian Hop! :D

[shupy2]

realmente fantastico, me trea grandes recuerdos

[Lazy9000]

This is so funny. The woman is so weird but still funny!

[albertparsley]

what happened to Rocky Sharpe? - is he still rocking?

[Doowopski]

Sadly Rocky suffers from MS and can no longer perform but I am reliably informed that he can still enjoy You Tube. Johnny was Communications Manager for a trade association untill recently but is now freelance copywriting and enjoying digital photography. Helen acts, scriptwrites for TV (Eastenders and Heartbeat - the best known) and exhibits her art. Eric (Mike Vernon of Fleetwood Mac/Blue Horizon fame)continues to produce music. Great talented under-rated band with a sense of humour!

[VinnyMonster1]

@Doowopski Was a big fan back in the late 70s early 80s. They were one of the best of the Rock & Roll revival sounds on the go!

[Saitalos]

Perfect , what a good Time this was.

Thx from Germany

[Ian2861]

Brilliant!

[56974993]

[zanzueridu]

Rocky Sharpe... one of the greates

[siciliano47]

esta és la música de mi vida

[Jordisarda]

que recuerdos geniales...!!!

[DeniseGallant]

I asked KROQ to play the original in 1984 so that I could record it. I played it to work for about 3 months - I worked with John Dykstra at the time. I told him he should do an animated version. WHO IS THIS GROUP? Where were they - definitely not LA or SF, or I would have known them.

[Doowopski]

Denise, Rocky Sharpe & the Replays are from England (circa 1979-1984). They had seven hits (2 Top Twenties - Rama Lama Ding Dong and Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out!)) in the UK plus numerous hits across Europe, especially Spain and Germany. Their first three albums are available on CD from Ace Records but their 4th was on Polydor and not yet made it to CD. Check out their other You Tube videos for fun and great music.

[countryjoeohnefish]

Thanks for the Info.

I will check my parents Lp collection, maybe i`ll find something.

[DeniseGallant]

Thanks for the reply. I will check on them. The others sound like fun too.

[lorenmicah]

I think this is about the greatest thing I've ever heard =D

[countryjoeohnefish]

I love that funny bullshit ;o).

5 stars and another song for my favourits.

Thanks for upload

[Sereitei]

Man...they just don't write them like they used to. Even though it's way before my time, I love this genre

[111x0x111]

ok if "Dee Snyder" comes to mind, Please message me so that I know that I am not the only crazy one out there ^_^

[AwsomeKarate]

it's not dee snider, it's the guy from Grandma's boy

[111x0x111]

i know that i said IF dee snyder comes to mind. i know very well that is not dee snyder. ^_^

[DannyLeetsFan]

[orangie84]

[DieEchteUschi]

eeeeeeehhhhhh hahahahahahahahhahaha xD

[Ian2861]

Superb cover!

And Helen Highwater was gorgeous!

[jay171819]

yes,yes it is

[JOEYP03]

lmao funniest song i ever heard in my life

[chengloki]

I viewed the other comments. That does not change my opinion. THIS IS GREAT!!!!! =Stefan=

[thefamilycat]

The Ran Dells were a couple of clever geeks who did this for a college project.They had no intention of entering the music business

[mavrosskilos]

can't stop humming pappa ooh maa maa .. now xlnt! ;-))

[GlobalWarmingRox]

what.........in........gods...­.name

[bnjgirl133]

my friend sang this everyday for like a month.....

[bnjgirl133]

ya!!!!

[orangie84]

it gives it a kind of rhythm... bep bep mmm me me... bep bep mmm me me... bep bep mmm bep bep mmm bep bep bep mmm me me

[orangie84]

btw I just checked in the ran-dells version it's...

bep bep mmm me me.. bep bep mmm me me.. bep bep mm bep bep mm bep bep bep mmm me me...

Its not just bep's

[orangie84]

ran-dells did it better (which btw this was meant to be a novelty song (NOT a childerns song) and is from 1963! There were only 2 versions of this song I really cared for and that was of course the original and they had a sort of punky version of this song which I thought was really cool in the movie "martians go home" I have been trying to get an uncut copy of that version for a very very long time. But haven't been able to find it.

[xXMagisian0Xx]

i just watched the movie "Martians go home" ;P

In the credits it says that it was performed by "The Stupeds"

[mavrosskilos]

love it.. ;-)

[cbenjamin712]
