  • C'est Trop Drôle Quand Les Poulets Pèetent Une Coche.

  • I Wanted To Look For That Song For A While Kuz One night The Chickens Suddenly Popped In My Head!

  • I agree with you @crockett007 100%..

  • These guys (and the chicks) were JAMMIN!!! How could you even look at the dislike button?

    Can a groove get any better?

    Byron Maiden dancing in his hotel room in Paris!

  • Not just any three chickens , oh no , not just any three chickens , black and white spotted chickens , the meaning of which goes back to scripture.

    Highly suspect connection with abrahams spotted sheep.

  • I was born in 1970 I'm 41 , started playin guitar when I was 14

    I think this particular song and video concept is one of the most mind blowing experiences I've ever had as a human being.

    Those ladies in those chicken costumes are like nothing I've ever heard or seen before , I didn't know those kinds of sounds were possible , the back drops used for their cut sceens is what visualy takes me back to the 80s , when bugs bunny was not a racist lol

  • Hey, it's Pee Wee's Playhaus!!

  • the 80's can still be for u and me!!!!! EVERYONE! U NEED TO SEE MY VIDEO! ~

  • This group was much better than the movie of the same name.

  • Comment removed

  • My brain also says there is a strong connection between this particular track and the track from rockwell "sombodies watching me"

    They are in the same key , if I play them at the same time things get interesting.

    different beat but deffinately part of the same picture.

  • The bands name , the movie is much like american grafiti was durring it's time.

    The bands name is not based on the film.

    They existed before the film.

    The film and the band both are still very myserious for me , with flash backs of the super tramp breakfast in america album cover in my mind.

  • Comment removed

  • @bpmandersloot just out of curiousity, and i know this is kind of a stupid question, was this band named after the famous John Hughes movies or is it a coincidence that the group's name shares the same name as the film, i have to ask because both of this stuff came out in the 80's, so if you or anyone watching here has any knowledge or background of this group, i would really appreciate it if you filled me in on this.

  • I love them and always will. they just make you want to dance

  • Good song and a good creative video!

  • 19 people are on the wrong track...

  • I could be big and tough and other funny stuff...

  • love it. great memories

  • I am to this as Peter Griffin is to Bird is the Word.

  • LOVE IT - LOVE IT - LOVE IT 

  • Great song that I will never forget!!!!

  • There's good and bad music from every decade. I was a teenager in the 80's, so this was the stuff I grew up with. However, I'm just as happy with a good Three Days Grace tune...

  • This song reminds me of Kirk Cameron. He was an atheist and now he is a SOLD OUT follower of JESUS CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST is the answer to all of your problems, my problems, and our problems. HE is the ONLY way to get you back on track. JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU GUYS. Be ready, HE is coming back. No one knows when. Just be ready as if HE was coming tonight.

    Remember when music was clean and Madonna was the raciest thing we'd heard before? If icould go back in time and keep the mind I have today...

  • @peacheslovesjesus= That's so true dude.

  • Madonna owes a large part of her early career to the drummer in this band, Stephen Bray, because he wrote and produced so many of her biggest hits.

  • this is your song Shauna!!

  • fantastic summer track from '87.....and these guys got nominated for "best new artist", too....although jody watley got the award, it's all good!

  • Love this silly song!

  • I could be big and tough and other funny stuff....

  • Lady Gaga should cover this. 

  • @unwindzen= And while she's at it, she can paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa. this song is fine the way it is. We don't need anybody, especially Glee covering this song.

  • @unwindzen= Sorry dude, I'm in a bad mood ttonight.

  • Dan Gilroy...YUM! It's amazing how somebody who's wearing so much clothes can be so sexy. I'll take his brother Ed, too.

  • Fantástica canción. Mi Mini, esta canción y yo, los reyes de la carretera. When I was a child....the best.

  • The singer is soooo cute! I love his style!! :)

  • @jposh707 dan gilroy.....thats his name. Yup he was fine.

  • That middle chicken is a fine chick. Well, without the beak, I mean.

  • 2:53...big azz.

  • Again 1 Word F**King AWESOME !!! 100 stars  lol

  • The 80s just get better and better looking which each passing day. Everytime some kid mocks the 80s as lame, then logs on to Snooki's Twitter page, I have to laugh at the irony. Don't get me wrong, you have some awesome music from today(barely), but nothing can ever match the 80s for style, creativity, and just plain fun. The TV shows, the movies, the music, even sports back then were better. Period.

  • @crockett007 So glad somebody pointed this out, couldn't agree more!!! Kids these days just don't understand and probably never will.

  • @crockett007 Well he even says it in the song: There must be some kind of bad connection because the music does not sound the way it did. Looks like he knew what he was singing about...

  • Two things I noticed: 1. The dude running up the stairs had on a pair of PONY'S!!! (I rocked a pair too). 2. The little hen is N'Dea Davenport from the Brand New Heavies!!! Had a major crush on her. I remember jamming to this video on "Nick Rocks"!!!!

  • Awesome!!!! 

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!! ONe of my top 10's!!

  • when this band first surfaced in Bayside, Queens N.Y.C. in the early 1980's the female singer was a little know Detroit transplant named....................Madon­na. That's right kiddies,she was dating one of the guys in the band. Humble beginnings

  • @jaghoff The singer and drummer of this band, were both Madonna,s boyfriends, the drummer is Stephen Bray, producer and composer of lots of Madonna,s 80,s hits.

  • @belor1981 I think at one point even *I* was Madonna's boyfriend.

  • Just wondering -- is it possible for any retro video on YouTube to NOT have all comments to the effect of "those were the days, when music was good not like that Bieber hip-hop crap today"? I was around in the '80s, and I all I remember was people savaging new music for supposedly being weak and artificial. More to the point, do you have anything else interesting to say about this song/video?

  • @simonpeter6 I have something interesting to say. Clearly this video had the same Production Designer as Pee Wee's Playhouse.

    See? That was something interesting. I don't know if it's true...but it's interesting.

  • @MegaVolcano Actually, I'm fairly certain that is the set for Pee Wee's Playhouse.

  • @simonpeter6~ U know, there was a guy in the bible called simon-peter!.

  • heard this last night on a radio station here in philly b101 all they play is 80s music saturday nights love it cant get it out ov my head

  • 80's MUSIC IS RIGHT ON TRACK!! THIS SONG IS TOTALLY AWESOME DUDES AND DUDETS!

  • GREAT song... but I always wondered by the girls were dressed as chickens... LMAO!!!

  • Great song this 80s music is brilliant.

  • I remember these ORIGINAL chicken ladies...

  • Correction, meant to say this SOUND needs a revival.

  • This song seriously needs a revival.

  • This is some good sh!t. Justin Bieber or what ever his name is hasn't got squat on this.

  • Hey I totally agree with you guys, the 80's ....ing RULE !!!

  • Good song and beat - high quality mixing would help emphasise the bass line and strengthen the vocals which are a bit lost on the dub. Would go down well on re-release eh what?

  • What a blast from the past and an awesome dance song!

  • super 80's band lol my favo thanks for upload:)

  • Great times that I lived in the Staes. What a shame to got back and lose everything.

  • 19 jb fans, =(

  • This song is the total 80s groove. And I am lovin it. That slappin bass and synth and vocals. Its my scene. iI love this song so much.

  • Dopo tanti anni è ancora bellissima!!!

  • I looove this lead singers voice!

  • Funky Chicken Groove. Still sounds pretty fresh. I never liked the song back in the day. But, they played it on the radio the other day...and I was thinking, Damn that song was/is Kick N.

  • i love this music is cool not like the crap they play this days

  • Saw them do this song when I went to Madonna's Who's That Girl Tour in 87..........and before she famous, she was part of this group!!

  • love this song!

  • This song so brings me back to my youth.

  • I've got 1 more move I can try.

  • sickkkk bass line!!!! Serious musicians,silly setting.

  • sickkkk bass line!!!!

  • 1:47 Well I can move out to the left for a while; or I could slide to the right for a while..... SANG WHITE BOY!!! I remember this. I love it!!!

  • Great sound from these guys

  • so great memories!!! thanks! best age!

  • i like the music,but the video sucks

  • Was this video filmed inside "Pee Wee's Playhouse?" :)

  • Music from the 80s was better than the garbage being called music today.

  • @sportsfandriver Hear hear to that sportsfandriver! Well said my friend. Music has seriously deteriorated since about 2001 with the exception of a couple of songs here and there.

  • @sportsfandriver, I agreed, but with respect ppl have their own genre, so if an era with different culture, taste it evolve to something different, so the kids today may lol at our taste of music during the 80s. :(

  • @NightSociety I understand. What we liked then may not be good music to today's young folks.

  • @sportsfandriver

    That may not be true. A lot of young people don't like today's music. I mean today's music is just shit. If no one tells them to differentiate between good and bad music, then they can't make a good decision as to what qualifies as music. Now-a-days not that many kids play instruments anymore. If it wasn't for shows like America's Got Talent, The Voice or American Idol, I would have still thought that talent didn't exist in the period. There is still hope for the future.

  • @sportsfandriver

    you bet. I had my life all figured out in the 80's. A crippling injury ended my dreams.

    But music like this motivates me to just get up and walk.

    Remembering the past gets me right on track again--Yup>

  • @pluto4847 I am sorry about your injury. Please don't let that stop you.

    1. JESUS CHRIST loves you very much. HE heals today just as HE healed back in the bible. You can be healed of your injury, if you haven't done it yet.

    2. As for the music, you can still have your dreams come true. Just put GOD/JESUS first, and the HOLY GHOST will lead you to what you were meant to do. Have you ever thought about music promotion. I kno someone who is 17 and a CHRIST rock promoter. Ask GOD 4 direction.

  • It looks like they had fun making this video... oh to have been one of those chickens - lol

    Artists these days don't look like they have fun.

  • ok its a cheesy video but hey it was the 80's. Remember listening to this song in my senior year in high school kicked ass then and still does.

  • Wasn't this the group Madonna was supposed to have been apart of had they not cut her loose?

  • Comment removed

  • Love the song...one of my favorites of the 80's. The video is weird and nutty, but in a good way. And very original. I mean, when was the last time you saw dancing chicken suits in a music video???

  • Yes, maybe they fade away but their songs live on forever! If not, then why are we here listening??????? 

  • Good song, but groups like this...who are basicly trying to take advantage of an era,are doomed to fail from the begining...oh yeah,they're good for 1 or 2 big songs,then they'll fadeeeee away.

  • Just absolutely LOVE this song, LOVE the video, LOVE THE MEMORIES! College, clubs, dancing, drinking......not a CARE in the world!!!!!!!!!!!! Great, great, great song!!!!!!

  • This is an awesome song and brings back great memories! Love the song and the innocence of the way videos and songs were played back then. Thank you for this!

    It's great!

  • God i miss the 80's.

  • che bella canzone mi porta un bell ricordo quando sono andato al mio paese peru e sempre ascoltaba questa canzone viva gli anni 80 suo amico giancarlo

  • Yes,  madonna used this music style in an of your songs.

  • All the guys are cute, it's colorful hi energy...the epitome of the '80's! Great song great video!

  • dig those chicks :D

  • The 14 people who so far dislike this video seriously need to go find a soul somewhere. How can you not like this beat? The 80s get better and better for each year that music gets worse and worse now.
