This is from Putting on the Hits, the 80s lip sync game show. I believe Doug was the champion for that season's final competition. More 3-D Here: / 3ddoug1962 • 3D Doug interview 35 y...
Hey everyone! His daughter again, after discussing with my Dad (3-D) I'm actually going to do a Q&A with him so if anyone has any questions please comment below!! I'll be seeing him mid September. (I also mentioned to him that I think he needs to limber up and try to reattempt this dance lol) Please let me know what you want to know about my dad!!
Hey everyone, his oldest daughter here! Just wanted to comment and let anyone watching his video in good ol 2021 that he is doing great, living in Southern California and even tho he's getting close to 60 he can still bust moves like no one's business! Thanks to everyone who said kind words, I like to update him on comments, especially the hilarious ones.
Ive watched This video at least once a week for years... I am absolutely amazed every time and I will never get sick of it.... This ranks right up there with one of my all time favourites
That's amazing I wish the qauilty of the video was better to show off how good that really was... amazing though I just wish it was the whole song it was amazing..... dad's an ace dancer
I am now 63 years old. I remember watching this on TV and was blown away. At that time, we had never seen anything like this. His costume, makeup and body movements mesmerized us all. Still love watching it to this day. Great job, Doug!
He poured more emotion into the song than the actual video! He gave a stellar performance and a glimpse into the violence an actual combat soldier would have gone through but not as graphic! One could only imagine!
I remember Vietnam Vets getting so overwhelmed after seeing his performance, thanking him for putting a human touch to such a hard subject. Everyone who saw him perform live back in the day was in awe! Knowing him as a friend was even better! BTW Doug, this is Andi ...
@@MillennialWeirdo I remember talking about this show with a friend in high school and we thought the idea of a lip syncing competition show was a little silly, but this was so much more than just lip syncing that it "justified the whole series".
@@Robostate he really was just wanting people to open their eyes to what the song was about and he was so happy to get a perfect score and he actually had Vets thanking him for his performance. I honestly wish I was alive to see it happen, sadly I only get the stories he tells me
@@MillennialWeirdo How about talking him into doing this skit again now at age 60, and create a new video with both the then and now versions. It would be epic!
I was a Fan of this show and even was a $25,000 Grand Finalist (Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You). This is one of The Greatest Acts to EVER appear on POTH. Just FANTASTIC!
Im watching 2023😂 never seen this video before. I heard the song when it got released and felt it was a weird hit. But now i understand why it was so popular
I remember this as i was a teenager at the time!! My mom and I used to watch POTH every Saturday night. 3-Ds choreography is absolutely perfect and what a fantastic idea to present this song with the makeup, fatigues, and the robotic movements. Brilliant!!! Thanks for this fantastic stroll down memory lane and yes I have rewatched this a couple hundred times and smile during each replay!!
I remember watching this guy when I was a kid, He scared the shit out of me! He was mesmerizing. As an adult watching him again, he scares me even more, because the words to this song is true and still on going. 19.
Cherie McFadden Watch at end. He pulls outta robot mode and totally relaxes, and out of breath. It’s probably the dark make up that he was wearing that creeped you out.
Thanks! My daughter just reminded me of what I did all those years ago. I am almost glad that it scared you. War is is HELL. They went through it. Let’s hope we don’t have to anymore!
Yes, Doug... I remember freaking out in front of the TV and clapping with the audience -- I loved the song as a young girl and just remember being so happy for you! I hope you are doing well and you are still pop-lockin' it somewhere in the world!
Thanks! Soooo many years later, it is so nice to see your comments. I am doing well, but not on stage, to my disappointment. But, still doing well. My hope is that my performance told some kind of story that emphasizes that war is something we need to avoid!!
Holy shit! I've seen this performance twice in my life. First was when it aired, second was just now. Drove me crazy trying to remember where I heard that song.
Every so often over the years, I remember this and come back to watch it again. I'm just as impressed today as I was watching it for the first time on TV. Legendary performance!
I am in U.K listened to this record in 80s and played this at disco's and watched people trying their best to do robotics to this and many other tracks..I came across this on youtube 3years ago and keep watching this it makes me smile .This is great.His moves are the best.
I was a fan of Puttin' on the Hits growing up. 3-D was my favorite act out of all of them. I wanted him to win in the grand finals. I was disappointed when he didn't. To this day I play this every now and then.
@@douglasdeneveu3061 I'm sure it was. I saw the other act you did after "19". That was good too. I didn't expect a reply, much less from you yourself. Thank you
Holy shit, where does the time go? Austriankitten, your dad and I used to compete against each other back in the day. I read your comment and thought "He's not old enough to have a kid", then I remembered him showing me baby pictures of you! That was almost 20 years ago. Where does the time go.....
Hey Chris!! (New youtube, forever lost my password to that old account lol) my dad is actually coming up to being 60 now! (I myself turning 33 this Saturday) he's still doing great living in southern California
Your Dad did awesome. I was in the military and would listen to the soldiers tell me about their stories about Vietnam. Years later one of their stories probably saved my life. I was informed to always stay in the tracks of the vehicle in front of me.
I love his response at the end " I'll buy a house or a car..." Back in '85 you probably COULD buy a house for $25,000. You certainly could afford a car for less than that!
Took me right back ! What a totally cool dude , lovely guy and exceptionally talented !!! I'm 50 just gone and can remember playing this back over and over back in the day , the video of 3D not paul hardcastle! Hope you and your family are well my friend stay frosty marine ha ! All the best Steve Sunderland u.k. 🇬🇧 🇺🇲 👍
Someone left this link in a comment (in 2014) on a Steam Guide I made for DayZ. Just now went through the comments and clicked on it. Not disappointed. This brings back memories lol
Holy crap .... my buddy from high school just showed me this .... this guy was impeccable!!!!! That truly was a perfect performance.....but also don’t miss the host’s perfectly flawless blonde mullet .... lmao ... A 1987 picture of pure hairstyling perfection ! I swear he’s got a perm mixed in with that mullet !!!
This is still brilliant in 2023, a time where we are overrun with fakery and instant gratification - this really stands up to the test of time and I love it. Many thanks from the UK.
This was so awesome! I remember watching this act on TV. It was (and still is!) truly jaw-dropping. So well done and on a sensitive subject. On so many levels, just a great performance.
I was just a kid when i saw this awesome performance on the TV we had when we had with Rabbit Ears for Antenna. Puttin on the Hits was awesome i always watched it. This man was so talented in a haunting way. Puts chills up my spine. Everytime my Dad would go to the Army Surplus Store to buy something ...i would always think of this man for some reason.
Hi there in 2021. My first time seeing him do this fantastic performance. I am deeply moved..... I always loved this song and its message but he brought it over the top. God bless him for caring enough.......
Classic !! I remember going out to the clubs in sac town when I lived there during these times and saw 3-D win most of the awards at lip sync contest. Everyone used to say he should compete nationally. He did end up wining there too.
I'm 56 years old and this song "19" by Paul Hardcastle is one of my favorites. I like the music/melody, the stuttering effects, the story line/lyrics, the mixing in and out of the news caster and the singer/rapper, the woman screaming, trumpet player... The song is missing an MTV type music video. This video is one of the best versions I've seen. It would be interesting to see this evolve into more. Has Paul Hardcastle seen this?
Thanks for your comment. I haven’t really followed this since I was a kid. I am 58 now. I appreciate your observations of my performance. I wanted to tell a story. Some saw it. Some did not. I am glad you did!
I was reminded of this performance by the 1980s Heardle--I didn't know this song from anywhere else, but I still have solid memories of 3D from "Puttin' on the Hits" and this excellent piece. Nearly 40 years later and still lodged in my brain--good job!
It’s 2021 and I showed my 13 year old this earlier and she was mesmerized!!!!! I was only 2 years younger than her now when I saw it on tv. And I STILL remember going to school and EVERYONE was just in AWE!!! We had NEVER seen ANYTHING like this!! so after ALL this time, I don’t think ANYONE who saw this has EVER forgotten it!!!!! I never missed an episode,but this performance wasn’t just an “act”. This was ART! when you relook at things you saw as a kid, it’s kind of embarrassing at what you thought “ was SO amazing “. well that can NOT be said here!!! This is timeless and absolutely BRILLIANT to this day!!
i remember watching this, it was so excellently done i was overcome with emotion because this spoke volumes about what went on in vietnam, great work douglas i still think about this every now and then may god bless you and your family
Thanks! My daughter just brought this to my attention recently. I did this for the vets and for no other reason. Their story needed to be told. I am so happy this moved you.
Superb!!!! I never forgot this performance. I saw the actual performance on TV back in the day. I looked for it briefly several years back. So happy I never forgot it. I may revisit it every month now. Thank you for sharing!
That was a brilliant performance, I have never seen it before. Here in Britain, 19 was number one in the charts for four weeks. I didn't know that the record have even been released in America.
It's so amazing to read all the comments about this one. I was in Da Nang in 1972, and years later would be electrified by the performance you, Doug, gave; sent tapes to many, many friends, and always wondered what happened to the artist...wow. Thanks for the work. It was amazing.
My dad is doing well thank you! He's actually in the retail business now, has been for a very long time but he's happy and can still nail this performance on the head
Even though this was years ago ..it was a fantastic act great talent ...really outstanding can watch it all day. ...hope the performer had success with his talent after all!!
No words can describe this. It’s priceless. And, transcendental. I lose my sense of reality every time I watch it and am transported into another dimension. Bravo!
I kind of remember this performance and I loved, loved putting on the hitz ..pu pu pu putting on the hitzzzz..My favorite was a guy who did say say say by MJ and Paul McCartney he was really good.
Man I love youtube! This guy is the only reason I put POTH in the search box. I used to hear this song after seeing the show and would imitate some of the moves. Would love to meet this guy someday and shake his hand
Hello i want to let everyone know the experience my mother had with a very good friend that served in the Vietnam war he was from Puerto Rico his name was Alberto Byehdares but became American she asked him what exactly happened to him there many times he couldn't find himself to explain in some days he would tell her he would take a walk for many hours gone or while he was sleeping his nightmares were so real he would wake up in sweat he would say things like no brother don't go there he would cry out he is bleeding i can't stop it he would say you have a wife come back please come back , my mother saw all this between 1975 to 1978 but when he was not having these re laps of Vietnam what a great man kind, gentle, thoughtful, respectful, a gentleman.... may he rest in peace i pray i salute to all the men who served in the Vietnam war .
THANK YOU for uploading this!!! I remember seeing this on TV and every... and I mean EVERY single time I hear this song I think of THIS. His performance was spot on. Absolute perfection. Being a child at the time, it was a little scary to watch, but maybe that's why it stuck in my head all these years.
