[MrMegas2]

Good lord they must have put holes in the ozone for that hair

[Proudmommynauntie]

Agree with paulquin10

[MrJeremy337]

great song

[paulquinn10]

Did Prince write this music? sounds like it.

[groofoot]

@paulquinn10 --- listen to the song 'Lady Cab Driver', by Prince (which came out 3 years before this song) and you'll know where this song came from....

[musiqtube1]

oh man. my mom says she had the BIGGEST crush on Melvin and Gerald Valentine. Go mama.

[GCSalinas]

I wish I knew a girl named Sheila who is a potential draft pick on the hoot team! Only the realest know I'm talking about!

[reddemunn]

[dopemanbrother]

Thats it im bout to get a jheri curl.....

[j0xIWsNt]

@bluntdog123 well, i enjoy music of all genres. maybe you should try this so called "new music" instead of generalizing that all hip hop, house, or dubstep music is bad.

[imaBme081]

sshhhiaat!!!

[dom1ne]

ah yes the elusive "Jheri Curl"

[greggieguygood]

7 years of no sex or sex you wont remember DIVORCE oh Sheila let me warm up and be the only man for you.

[skiptillman]

LMAO....you know those shirts had Gheri Curl juice all over them!

[cmorebutts321]

I came here because I remember listening to this song in the car with my mom when I was a kid.

[Diamondgrl2007]

They took time to moisten they shit lol (jheri curl)

[1594826730]

CHOREO COOKIES

[talatijger]

MOVEMENT LIFESTYLE!!!

[missdarkeyes]

Jheri Curl juice + White Suits = 80s fashion No No. They had still had a nice sound regardless!

[symmastia]

This is a Jheri-curl song!

[barnesfam]

There's no way in hell you can't move to this song.

[catt09]

Who thought jerry curls were a good idea???

[noDwitheNVy]

I bet the jheri curl juice destroyed those white clothes...

[barnesfam]

@noDwitheNVy lmao

[kja427]

People have ALWAYS speculated that this tune was about Shiela E.; Is that true? Moreover, in Austrailia, shiela is a slang term for a girl. Tell me, which is it?

[thechaircover]

@kja427 Its an Aussie Slang :)

I can tell from the guy mocking the Aussie accent at the start

[yeahgirl11]

@kja427 He's using the Australian term. :B

[bluntdog123]

THUMBS UP IF YOU ARE OFFICIALLY A 80"S FAN AND WILL NEVER CHNAGE FOR WHAT THEY CALL MUSIC TODAY, CAUSE MUSIC LIKE THIS IS FOREVER LASTING, WHO AGREES!!! :D

[brandenduciel]

@bluntdog123 only 12 agrees

[twilson9281]

@bluntdog123 I enjoy a variety of genres too. I don't care what decade they were from..every decade contributes....this was my favorite song when it came out

[maxsancor]

@bluntdog123 there is no more thums up sign but im super 80s fan man

[UniversalRecon15]

it is prince there just kooning

[laanbl07]

those jerry curls are on point!

[tranurse]

@laanbl07 let your soul glo..........

[SkorpiusShow]

The singer looks alot like Chris Tucker!

[mcbrotherhill]

what happen to black bands ?

[MrSouthSioux]

@mcbrotherhill Yea I think the last one I remember was a band from Minnesota called Mint Condition. Saw them live in Minneapolis in the 90's and they put on a heck of show.

[waytoosmootheforyou]

I used to think that Prince sang this song, it has the flavor and style, sounds like him too

[b0nd33]

@waytoosmootheforyou Sounds like Prince because it's more or less a reworked version of Lady Cab Driver from his 1999 album.

[Robinson11]

where were these brothas from? I heard the lead singer died of Aids

[tia52]

@Robinson11 Wow. they were from Michigan and Melvin Riley is alive ... and they supposedly had a reunion album in 2004 ... this is how rumors start.

[cyclops1092]

Looks and sounds like they ripped off Prince's look and The Time's sound Morris Day staus

[tia52]

@cyclops1092 .... you had to be around in the 80's, the men all had jheri curls and the music was hot!

[cyclops1092]

@tia52 Oh I was, I'm 40! I remember this band and this hit for sure. I just recall that prince and them were doing this sound back in 81' 82' and then everyone got on the band wagon. Hey if you want to be best copy the best right? Lol

[RAch711baby]

when i was little i had a doll named Sheila and my sister and i found her the yesterday and my sister started to cry and i started to sing this then when i go on youtube its in my suggstions.... made me smile:)

[mariahabddeannabff]

haha i am 12 and love this song i know i may seem young but it it better then the crap we hear now and days

[dmatzo]

ha

[serrribral]

Can you imagine the amount of weeks it took to mop up the curl juice on the floor after the video shoot???

[joeglimmix]

i always thought this was prince singing about sheila e...

[touggie2000]

@joeglimmix me tooo..thank you tube!

[Kherudjhuti]

@joeglimmix I think that's what they were going for.

[Heroslayer5]

Rippin' the asshairs out of Prince.

[BryonYoungblood]

Man, this takes me back! :D

[Waynereich]

BAD. SO BAD, MAKES ME SICK HOW COOL THIS SHIT IS,

[GabeD14]

This is my jam, never thought of Prince as a possible face to go with voice, deffinetly knew it was a straight up band

[marcia7523]

They all got them fresh Care Free Curls just for the video, lol. I remember those days so well.

[beatleslennon220]

I hate this song! Every time I tell someone my name they start singing this to me!

[aiG0re]

Jheri curl*

[MultiJMARTIN]

This sounds just like prince song "lady tax driver"

[klowe007]

Dang...I still have this cassette tape!

[spjunkie]

Why did everything Prince produce sound like a bad knockoff of him

[MrSkullhead1]

@spjunkie I think they managed to be Prince knockoffs all by themselves. I don't think Prince was involved, unless I'm mistaken. Song still is a guilty pleasure though. Total "Lady Cab Driver" rip off.

[Rocky777]

Always thought this was Prince

[TvGyrl]

If memory serves me, Oh Sheila was a #1 hit for RFTW.

[mohinderbauer]

I never heard of this group until a year ago. Good music, AND they play their own instruments. Can anyone explain why don't see music groups anymore? It seems like every song now is by a solo artist.

[UnRe4L88]

STYLE right here!!.. Love this song, heard it constantly while growing up.

[aimpointvw]

I wonder if these guys were intentionally trying to sound just like Prince.

[LovesSheilaLoves]

Yeah so my name is Sheila, and i absolutely can't get over this sonnng! Looooove<3

[BillboardRadio]

This song used to make us run to the dance floor!

[BamoutFeek21]

i like what that drumb player was wearing, im just about to do a 2011 version of that. lol :) love this song <3

[ncreb86]

I'm here because of Psych. :D

[djdabblin]

Lets Go! Love Movement.

[FreeMTrider]

It doesn't matter where they got their sound or if they sounded like someone popular at the time, all I know is we jammed to this one like no other in the clubs! and it is still good! Your would be lying if you don't feel it when this jam come on.

[NayNay2fye]

i may be young, but this is that stuff.

[gritty135]

Looks like Chris Tucker's Daddy

[wickedwillow7]

This brings back some wicked memories...lol!

[cmit120]

When i first heard this song, I thought it was prince.

[newpowersoul2005]

sounds like Prince so much.

[heylilly1]

2:33 convinces Sheila..

[crazy4corbinbleux]

OMGG.. CAN I JUST REWIND BACK TO THE 80S?? PLEASE..! 

[AvEryBadApPLe]

"Follow the drip."

Robin Harris, House Party 1990

anywho, this song NEVER gets old.

[VicegripTorn]

this song reminds me of my wife her name is sheila. i love her sooo much!! :)))

[Terence7414]

dark skinned dudes wit the jhery curls, damn i miss those days, i need my hair back!!!!!!!!!

[DoubleTapLasVegas]

@Terence7414 I use to have a pompadour with slicked sides and a tail back in my beat boy days! I miss them too. You remember the Rockberry, Roger Rabbit and the Robocop?

[DoubleTapLasVegas]

One thing comes to mind...."Coming To America"....."SOUL GLOW"!!!!

[drdre8424]

@DoubleTapLasVegas Sexual Chocolate!..i need 2 watch that movie again, especially since i just seen lisa in a blackstreet video!

[DoubleTapLasVegas]

@drdre8424 I got that on DVD. I just watched it Thanksgiving day!

[25mradidas]

flint mi i was there NW dances flint Stone

[XplicitVocalz]

oh oh christina let me love you till the morning comes.. I know a lot of christina's and other women I could sing this too, but not too many sheila's.. Gotta luv this song...

[thedarkmodem]

Soul Glo

[JohnsonB1987]

Even though this was 2 years before my time, I actually like this song. But this is ironic that the fact that my mom's name is Sheila.

[bruceleroy14]

young black kids need to listen to this shit, and take some advice. Learn how to play a REAL instrument, write a REAL song that doesn't involve stealing samples form another song, and come out with some original music!! Stop listening to modern day hip-hop!!! It's talentless junk!!!

[orangesoda37]

@bruceleroy14 not tryn to be rude and dont get me wrong im an huge fan of ready for the world and sexy azz melvin riley but to my knowledge ready for the world usd to dress like prince i know ur talking about music but stealing samples are no different from them stealing their style from prince so it's not like they didnt steal anything from somebody its just the way the music indertry was and still is it's natural

[Scarlight24]

@bruceleroy14 I agree and Im 14

[Raleighm]

@bruceleroy14 Maybe you should indulge in some more modern hip hop before passing judgement. Ever heard of J. Cole? Dude is a College grad from NC State(Law school), Plays the Piano and Violin, Pursued his dream of hip hop by just going to New York with very little in his pocket and was signed eventually by Jay Z. He was hired on as a producer originally. He is to this day a very clever & intelligent rapper if you listen to his stuff.

[NM156QR83]

@bruceleroy14 ya no kidding, need to get back to good music like this!

[tsartodd]

lol fake British accents and real Jheri curls (a/k/a black people's mullet).

[98SLABRIDER]

THIS SHIT IS STILL HITTIN TO ME! I WAS IN THIRD GRADE IN THE MIRROR DANCIN MY ASS OFF...PRAYING FOR THE J. CURL!! LOL!!! (Moms never let me get it..nappy fro for me)!!

[skyynett999]

just follow the drip..........

[tranurse]

@skyynett999 i loved that movie. my favorite part is when pops is walking and muttering about how his mama was right, he never should have married that white woman.....

[CellaBaby3]

Im 19 and was raised on this, I miss the 80s and 90s. New Edition, Prince, Full Force, Soul For Real, Lisa Lisa... This is bullshit was on the radio now. I wanna fucking rip my hair out. Thank God for burning CDs! I just wish more of this music was coming new all the time.

[beezie14]

LOVE THIS SONGGG !! CLASSSIC....O0O0O0O0O0O0O0H SHEILA .

[Mr91OCB]

Minneapolis Sound!

[turdfly1]

Now all you so called " rap artists of this generation" pay attention! This is what talent is all about! Real musicians....Real instruments.... Choreographed rhythm... not studio samplin' with your shitty lyrics... True talent on display for you to learn by.....

[ashafasion]

LEAVE MY MOMMA ALONE LMAO SHE"S MARRIED NOW!!!

[DonDBaby]

Wtf is black music? My black ass listens to this, rock, hip hop, metal, pop and r&b. Please don't.

[MrAhudd]

i sang this song karaoke and jammed it out.. it was breathtaking

[Pusher786]

2:23 I want to deedle-deedle-di a deedle-deedle-o - LOVE IT !!!

[razieltalos]

greasy niggas, man whoever thought that look was a good idea...Im surprised noones brought it back

[maxtek7]

Great vid, im sure i looked JUST as ridiculous as they did back in the day!!

[JerryAshotyan]

love this shit (THE GAME)

[Niberugi]

Now this is good black music, not like all that shit they produce these days... Fuck gangsta rap and all that so called music with hollow lyrics.

[yeahgirl11]

@Niberugi I know right? I totally agree. I wouldn't even call this shit today Black music... they're really just sold out. Even 50 Cent said, "I make music for White people." That really says a lot.

[tylerwright47]

holy freaking jerri curl!!!

[MentalTeleprosy]

So a girl named Sheila walked into my work today and I said, "Are you ready for the world?" and she didn't know. I told her. OH SHEILA. Let me love you til the morning comes! I'm the only one. Understand I'm the only man. My own plan. You're qualified to fill my needs, but oh Sheila! I want to be the only one...for her.

[mrstanbmw]

it is a bunch of kids making post right now because of the ignorance that is being said. Gerry Curls were the rage in some parts of the country. just like you guys wear your pants across the cracks of your ass showing your dirty ass drawers some guys were wearing gerri curls. however these guys really have talent, unlike the crap you all call talent today.

[FierceNini]

@mrstanbmw yeah im 14 and id never date a boy with his pants past his butt. I wouldnt dare let him sit on my mothers couch! lmao. but anyways this song is amazing, i miss Lady T aka teena marie

[kklein41291]

@mrstanbmw THUMBS WAY WAY WAY UP!!!!!

[Decwarrior]

@mrstanbmw what do you mean you all I'm 23 wear pants with a belt on don't like todays shit but I enjoy this type of music and others between 1980-1999 and throw in the fact you catch me singing a couple of Motown hits in the process.

[TruBr0]

@mrstanbmw I grew up listening to tracks like this. Most of the music today dont have any meaning at all and half of it you just cant understand the lyrics call me old but atleast music back then had a decent beat and if the youth of today really looked at it some of the beats in the songs these days are from songs from the past so dont worry when all those haters below are older some younger person is gonna do the same and dis the way how they looked and then they would know what you mean.

[anvildrop]

@mrstanbmw The modern rubbish is all about style and absolutely NO SUBSTANCE.
