I DO THE ROCK

[jazzalex22]

You're one of my idols Tim Curry. At least you're narrating the new Cheat on Butter ad for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, sex and god unlike Kim Cattrall. But you will always be Dr. Fank N Furter and Nigel Thornberry no will ever be those characters like TImmy did em.

[jessicalanehept]

is it true that Tim Curry wrote the lyrics to this song?

[HarryPottersN1Fan]

I love the way he jumps around on stage...haha...I laugh every time but this song is AWESOME! Pure love for this guy!

[Sarah74660]

woww im 14 and i love this song!!!!  but i have 1 question is he REALLY gay??

[xrunaway1]

@Sarah74660  nope HES GOOD AS YOU

[Sarah74660]

@xrunaway1 OK THX ^^

[LittleGraveyardQueen]

I love Tim <3 ^^

[ileaverealitybehind]

I will never see him more than Dr.Frankenfurter.......I love that movie!!

[MrBlueman210]

@LadyStardustSoul noo he oozes tim curry swagger <33

[XxHearse13xX]

As in Rock cocaine?

[AuroreiiKikiss]

You Do The Rock... I Do You!! :D Timlicious

[MadameLil]

Great underrated talent. That's all there is to it.

[plunkza]

Jesus the 70s were magical.

[AllBobsAllTheTime]

Very Stimulating !!!!!

[googagirl]

God I love this song! I probably wouldnt love it as much if it were anyone else singing it! Tim Curry is amazing!!! If only I had a time machine.

[JohnSnowNW]

This song is great, Tim Curry is the shit.

[steventyler3able]

love his hair

[shakinbaconstudios]

10 people can't do the rock.

[stratman123]

He may not have done the rock, but the way he keeps jumping--he did at least a line or two...

[BlueFireMai]

sexy, nuff said

[TheAngelSpeaks15]

Yeah, I'd like to do the rock with him, lmao.

[mhy3000]

Honestly? I prefer Tim older. His hair is too weird here, and his charm is... nice, but different than now. He got much yummier with age!!!

[doinoyou1]

LOVE his powerful voice....

[burgandyblood]

3:40 - 3:44 kinda looks like Frank N Furter <333 He's so hot...

[pffshbethany]

@burgandyblood Probably because he played Frank N Furter...?

[baby69ization]

Love tim's first solo album still own it in primo condition we partied to this tune and the whole lp , once you see him in ROCKY HORROR how could you not DO THEE ROCK !

[ChloeCurry]

HELLL I NEED TO BE PUT INTO A FREEZER IN ANTARCTICA!

[basanovababyclu]

ok its official i almost died when he showed how sexy rodney was feeling omg that mans always gonna have a hold on me

[CurryAxl]

this is just....oh my god...we all need a very cold shower, don' t we? XDXD

[basanovababyclu]

@CurryAxl o hell i need to jump in a water fall

[pruel]

mix "werewolves of london" onto the tail end of this for one of the five best mixes ever done. dan neer did it first on 102.7 WNEW FM in NY a loooong time ago :)

[beatlesopera]

When was this video done? 1980s?

[DocMagnus1]

He jus so dam ODE now!!

[tilldalastdigitsofpi]

I love when he starts jumping (2:30)! He does the same thing in the movie Clue.

[SweetFairieFrog]

00:48 (sigh, swoon, oh. dear.) Look at those eyes. =)

[akaphs]

@lemonadarator - this song was actually on a compliation set called "New Wave Hits of the 80s" - you'll probably be able to find it on iTunes. I think this one was on Vol. 2

[TheTheLeeloo]

i want to hug him so much! what a voice!

[lemonadarator]

this song is bloody fantastic!! I would be so chuffed if it was on itunes? Does anybody know where i can purchase it?

[lemonadarator]

This song is bloody fantastic!!! I would be so chuffed if I could just find it on itunes for purchase!!! Does anybody have a clue where I could find this song for downloading?

[mohansen11]

@lemonadarator i still have a cassette copy (which i would play in a loop in my car), but i no longer have a player! : ) if you can't find a digital copy of the song on the web, the sound on this video is probably as good as you'll get anywhere else. but, i'll take a quick look around too.

[bindobud]

Also, the person at 2:36 looks like they belong in RHPS as one of the conventionists

[bindobud]

He looks like he's having quite a bit of fun with this song, especially at 3:52 :)

[koolus]

ugh... gorgeus!!!!

[Nicole644]

2:28 lol

i love you tim

[StereoTypeA]

@Nicole644 i kno right? he's too adorable.

[rocksteadyras]

His fruity jumping is the best.

[Eigrefeht]

Has anyone ever seen "Rock n Roll" by Tom Stoppard? This video totally reminds me of the character Jan...

[maestro48239]

this is the first time ive heard this since probably the early 1980s

[NeverGiveUpBoy]

"I do the rrrrruck!" How fabulously fag Mr Curry does that!

[abashal]

Awesome performer!! man of many talents

[userbeckyfanricks]

i love i do rock tim so hot

[lollipopfop]

OK. Nope. CurryFan is right. Tim is straight. He just played gay roles. Good! Im going to LA to find him now....

[SuzyElizabeth]

@lollipopfop Actually Tim has never really come out and said if he was gay or straight. I know it's really easy to say, "Hey it's a single man in his 60's who's never been married, so he's got to be gay". He personally has never said yes or no to that.

[TimCurryFan1993]

Nicky20081 i kno he isnt gai cus he has had lots of gfs and it woz onli last year that he woz goin owte wiff a woman and theyy lived togetha 4 awile

[joeyd1957]

@TimCurryFan1993

I am a fan from way back. I can't understand what the hell you just wrote.

What happened?

[lollipopfop]

Are you sure he isn't gay? I just have no idea how anyone would know.

[friskbank]

Does it please you to write like an illiterate?

[JediBebop73]

This is awesome!!

I heard it on the radio a few days ago & swore it was Tim but everyone else thought it was Roxy Music! @ 1:58, does he actually give a shout-out to OJ?

[tcfan123]

@JediBebop73

Yep. Pistol Pete and OJ. Who knew back then the infamy that would follow...

[carusozgrl4lfe]

Yes my dear, sexy Tim... It is extremely stimulating ;)

[TimCurryFan1993]

Omg evrytime he sings 'rock' it makes me shiver he is too sxc And tim isnt gai

[nikki20081]

how do u know he is not gay?

[lollipopfop]

He said so.

[RyogaXvX]

What? Is stimulating! <:D

[20ZMuffinFace]

SEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX­Y!!!

I LOVE TIM CURRY!!!!

His voice is so.... MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

And every time I see him I think of RHPS. I can't NOT. Oh... But his voice is just like... OHHHHH MYYYY GODDDDDD!!!!

*faints*

I'm 16... hahaha

[buckeyebabe14]

[TanjaBellydance]

This song is really silly! =)

[bill8251]

[computerorphone]

Tim is not gay.

He is actually extremely flirty around women. He's too sexy

[basanovababyclu]

@cadebra1961 yes yes yes i totally agree

[ModGirl1967]

@cadebra1961 And he can hold his own with that lot! "Hold his own"...pun intended...

[Littlehands91]

@cadebra1961 Hard to believe this is the guy that horrified me in IT. Dudes a bad ass.

[SweetFairieFrog]

Oh I am so in love with Tim Curry!!!

[superrad1337]

I like the lyrics more than I like the music, but I still adore Mr. Curry. They're interesting in much the same was as Science Fiction's

'Breznhev, Teng and Castro

everyday negotiate us closer to desastro.'

[Gehirntier]

Yep! I agree!

[coolcookie98]

tim curry has so much more talent than young music artists i noticed this and im only 15 love you tim forever

[bruinfan1234]

[ThoroughbredWriter]

Ah...yes...I saw Tim Curry at JB Scott's in Albany, New York, in 1979. He wore black jeans, a black cap-sleeved shirt...and sang this song. Phew.

I thought I'd transcended. Tim, you STILL rock.

xo

[watchthefilms]

Tim Curry is AMAZING! I freaking love this video and song! Keep rocking Tim!!!!!

[DBowie1983]

[XxemergencyxX]

Tim Currys the kind of person who makes me feel glad to be English lol. What a talented man.

[mrfunderful]

COCK OF THE WALK, BABY!!!

[mrfunderful]

I got a fever... and the only cure... is more CURRY!!!

[drunkensatyr]

What does this soup need? More Curry. What kind of curry? TIM CURRY!

[Harry44Callahan2]

Too cool...I remember watching this video along with Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light at the start of Rocky Horror at the theatre!

[VestalNewf]

Me too. Westwood, California.  Mid-80's.

[SteevDragon67]

scintillating illiteration there, Tim! Still a great song after all these years! If they released the album this came off of (paradise garage) today on CD, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

[theatrebritty]

Oh I just die. I love him. I want him. Oh my goodnessss.

(And I'm so glad you all agree with me!)

[computerorphone]

amazing video!!!

i love him so much he reminds me of Frank N Furter in this video... He's so sexy!

I love it when he says 'frightly bold'

♥

[TimCurryFan1993]

saame i fink it the hair lolz :P sxc

[PattySoandSo]

I still can't believe this song was a chart hit over 30 years ago (1978), back in the day when NYC had a decent FM station (no, not WNEW, but WPIX!) For about a year they 'did the rock' with all the punk and new wave bands. They played the heck out of Curry's "I Do the Rock".

[jityr2]

Are you sure it's from '78 ? 'Cause I listened to the radio a lot then and I didn't hear it 'till the fall of '79.

[Spiralendrache]

That's because it's from 1980. ;-)

[jityr2]

I heard it in the fall of '79 .

[bratzoid1]

Can I please just marry this man? I LOVE TIM CURRY! (fangirl moment)

[TootsieMonsterx3]

[Lv365]

Ah, to be a kid in the American Midwest during the 80's watching this video. It was the coolest thing we had ever seen!!!

If he is not out, he needs to be. Fabulous, I agree.

[NeverGiveUpBoy]

Gay as a row of pink tents! How fabulous you are Mr Curry!

[WayneJohnJohnWayne]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Zhandarq]

Oh, my, he's just as cute without makeup as he was with. SUCH a cute rear end. Voice chops FOREVER! Rear-ly cute fer dayze. Big hair a plus. Total and complete Yum.

[vito62andretti]

[dogjaw62]

[trobinson017]

OMG!!!! The last time I saw this was on Video Concert Hall around 1980 when I was a kid! This was a couple years before MTv debuted. My younger brother and I used to wait for this to come on the UHF channel then jam around the room to it. Holy cow, I figured when it popped into my head today I could find it on YouTube. Thanks for posting it! Now to send a link to my bro.

[JoshuatheSamurai]

Great Song, but he's still scary as hell

[IndexMiddleCombo]

[punkknits9]

[PrincessAmy777]

God. He's truly mental. I want to marry him.

On a similar note, I think he looks nice with this colour hair. I never used to, I used to prefer it dark. But he looks less.... harsh?

[JasmineRoselily]

I used to be in love with him too, in the 70s to early 80s! If you are a guy, you might have a chance with him(sigh)...he is sexy! My cousin and i made friends with him, but, he prefers...(sigh)

[haliebug92]

WHATEVER!!!

[JasmineRoselily]

That's true! He was a heartbreaker to many girls though, but what can you do???? He was great in Amadeus too!

[Cr0wsFeet]

Isn't he married?

[JasmineRoselily]

Uh, NO! Never! He was FRIENDS with Annie Potts! My cousin and I KNEW him!

[maniacallison]

[cannibal151]

[RegularFrankieFan08]

[EPICteethshark]

Androgynous at its best

[IcyMaking]

Oh geez. When I saw him I was like...Take the rest of that shirt off boy!

[rexturtle]

genau nochmal ido the rock great.good times

[sunnygf]

I had this album many many moons ago & haven't heard this song in such a long time. This is a great video. I've always loved his voice - and he seems to be having a lot of fun. Well done! Thanks for posting.

[sustte]

he's so gorgeous...

[ChinaPhe]

He really can sing and he's great actor... Is he perfect in every thing he do? 8D

[shawnie01]

oh yes i have seen it many many times i own a vhs and dvd of it.

and you are right he is fantastic

[Cubarted]

lol seen it

like till my eyes were

wasted and rotten.

[Cubarted]

Have you seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show

Tim Curry's in it! And he's fantastic and

ofcourse i do the rock too! Watch the movie

you'll love it! he's timalicious!

[Dravenswraith]

everyone worries what tims sex life is who cares? hes so desirable dont blame anybody for liking him and you can dream anything youd like..

[HardcoreHarlen]

"Don't Dream It, Be IT"

[queenalib20]

People think he's gay because he dressed in drag. I'm sure if he never did that he would be considered quite the lady's man (which I'm sure he is!). I love Tim and all his work. It's going to be hard to find this song. I've been listening to it over and over for the last few days. Thanks for posting this delish vid!

[1Delly]

God I remember this song so well! I do the rock too! I don't think he is gay at all. A lot of British people do the gay like thing-look at Eddie Izzard-he's not gay it is just a persona for the stage. But, I do the rock! Peace out and thanks for posting this!
