In 1984 I was 20 years old in the city of my birth LA. I was totally lost. Sort of homeless at times, in and out of the county jail for traffic warrants and minor offenses, in a world wind relationship with my first girlfriend whose family hated me, unable to find employment and oh yeah, listening to this song in the background. I’m so fortunate to have made it, not just through that year, but through a life that was full of roadblocks and beat downs. I came through it without ever being shot or stabbed, without going to the penitentiary, without becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol. I’ll be 60 next year and I’m so glad I made it through
:The life is youth is hard everywhere for me also I am in France but also a life of madness, I am soon 55 years old in spite of a difficult life we are always there 🙂
Man weiß nicht was besser ist, das Video oder das Lied. Beides hat jedenfalls einen Teil Musikgeschichte mitgeschrieben.Auch Rap wurde durch dieses Lied in Deutschland gefragt. Der Zeitgeist damals ist jedenfalls heute noch GEIL!
I actually lived this lifestyle when I was a teenager in the 80's. I danced like that, dressed like that and had talent like that. Most importantly, it taught me the importance of creativity, art, passion, self expression and discipline. Now, I am a grown man. I do not dance quite the same, however, the essence is still there and the celebration of life, follow through and authentic self expression continues. I will always have Street Dance in my heart! Thank you Break Machine!
Still have this song on record 1983 was Great. It had it's a blue day & that song by Steve Perry oh Sherrie Marc Almond 1985 was good to tears run rings✌🏿.
Yup, rolled back the carpet and failed miserably, but kept trying lol. Herbie Hancock Rockit, Shannon Let the Music Play, Run DMC Sucker MCs. Can't beat growing up in the 80s.
Boa noite, isso que é funk, ritmo , melodia e coreografia, tudo harmonizado que a juventude em 1984 curtiu muito esse clássico. Parabéns pela postagem e acredito que todos viajaram e desembarcaram lá no ano de 1984 !
Só me lembro que treinava moinho de vento com essa musica ! Demorei 8 meses pra aprender em 1995 ! Hoje tenho 45 anos ! Hoje só tenho arranque ! Queria ter tempo para treinar de novo ! E arrebentar nas baladas com a geração de hoje ! Infelizmente não se vê mais isso hoje tem dia !
Incredible how it spread all over the world in a time when we wouldn´t even dream about internet... It was just hand to hand audio cassette and TV. Pure analogical peer to peer sharing, jejejej.
ABSOLUTELY...all the way through to the Westcoast of the Land DownUnder my friend. What a different world we grew up in. We had the glorious COUNTDOWN on the ABC to feed us the world of music. We raided all the White-goods stores' cardboard bins. Many scratches, many bruises, many face-plants. And wouldn't change a thing...
Had this tune on cassette tape back in the day, felt an urge to listen to it bad but I did not know the name of artist....... I looked a long time on the net and here I am.. finally
Verdaderamente bueno este video!!! Me recuerda en la época del colegio cuando hacíamos los pasos todos juntos. Los 80's para mi han marcado DE POR VIDA, no ha habido ni habrá otra época como esa, LA NUESTRA! Sigamos deleitándonos con nuestra música y nuestros video ya que eran lo máximo y seguirán siendo LO MEJOR!!!
Si asi es yo recuerdo que un primo mio podia hacer esos pasos eran de lo mejor esas epocas con esos pasos tan hermosos que nadie hace ya😍😘🤝🍺🍺🍻 ni los que vivieron los 80 y 90 yo si vivi mis epocas del regue de los 90 y de los 2000 el perreo sandungueo vivan los 80 90 2000 saludos desde chinsndega nicaragua😍🇳🇮🙏⛪🍰⚾️🍺🍻🤗🎂🇳🇮🇺🇸
+chandler bing bong- Yea not like the other music videos of that year from likes of :Duran Duran, Fleetwood Mac, Depeche mode, U2, Big Country, The Cure etc----That had really big budgets-still a tune
This use to be my favorite song growing up. Still have it on cassette til this day. I can still listen to it over and over again. I give a lot of credit to the singer because he is dancing and singing at the same time and he does both very well.
Esto este vídeo es una producción sencilla, pero como mucho arte, eso eran los 80's ARTE, esto es el break dance en su mas pura expresión, si se dan cuenta no se necesitaba mucha parafernalia como ahora, para hacer un buen vídeo, la música hoy en día jamas podra sonar como la música de los 80's con esa frescura y los vídeos musicales de hoy día tienen tanta producción que distorsionan todo, la mayoría de los vídeo musicales de hoy, están llenos de chicas semi desnudas bailando sin ritmo y cantantes que ni se les entiende lo que cantan.
Every where that you may go We are jamming in the street All the people that you meet Dance to the beat If you come to New York City You will never be the wack When you see us city kids Spinning on our backs I like the way he does that dance When he glides across the floor You know it really blows my mind I always yell for more I can't believe the things I see Like diving on the ground Then he's standing on his head And grooving to the sound (refrão/chorus) : Now just let your body move (Streetdance, streetdance) Put your feet into the groove (Streetdance, streetdance) When you feel your body shake (Streetdance, streetdance) Then you know you have got to break Oh, aaaah All the people that we know Are rocking on the one On the corner of China-Town They are break dancing for fun All the night clubs in LA Their master mix is on On the sidewalks of Detroit They are popping all night long
Que des beaux souvenirs pour moi quand je vois cette vidéo j’ai les larmes aux yeux merci aux afro-américains pour tous ce que vous nous avez apportés à nous la France 🇫🇷 ❤😢😮😅😊
I bought this on 12 inch when i was somewhere between 15 and 20.......12 inch is really good but this is the first time i have ever seen the video and i am 56 now !
Epoca boa que não volta mais. Hoje vivemos uma bagunça generalizada, onde o homem não quer mais ser homem e a mulher não quer ser mais mulher, assaltos a todos os instantes, favelas pra todos os cantos, agressividade e violência absurda, vitimistas e coitadinhos por toda parte, racismo invertido - reverso, mulheres privilegiadas, homossexualismo imposto e estimulado. Ta dificil.!!
ASI ES YO RECUERDO QUE UN PRIMO MIO PODIA HACER ESOS PASOS QUE EPOCAS CUANDO ESOS JOVENES DE 40 AÑOS Y 33 AÑOS DE HOY EN DIA PODIAN HACER ESOS PASES TAN HERMOSOS DE JAZZ SALUDOS DESDE CHINANDEGA NICARAGUA😍😍😘🤝🍺🤗🍻
True, but at least we have some great memories. Plus, music and videos to come back to and enjoy. Such high quality, heart and soul lives on and on. Best wishes, Edilson! God bless
😭😭😭😭😭 Toda a Minha Infância ficou Nesse Clipe Que Saudade Dessa Época E Que Música Top. Tempo Que Não Volta mais . Alguém Aí em fevereiro de 2022 ???? 😍😍👌
Man I'm 67 still groove man I love all that you guys did for are generation I love USA and thanks those awesome talents that spread America thru the world
You realise how long ago it was when you see the red datsun pickup at 1.10 seconds and hey kids this is what we used to do before facebook / twitter .We went out and did things ,imagine that .and we did not get run over when we crossed the road we raised our heads to check for traffic ,best wishes from the uk
Hallo und guten Abend ja, dass war Beat aus den 80 ger Jahren und bleibt einfach unerreichbar, die Zeit ja, diese Musik machte einfach Laune und ging ins Blut, ob Breaker oder nicht( ich war einer) dazu wurde getanzt, einfach Geile Musik und geile Zeit. Leider kommt Diese niemals wieder. Ich bin ein 80 ger. Da konnte man sich jedes Wochende Disco und Taxi leisten, heute eigentlich nur noch Disco,:-(((((((. I love it, teh 80 and this Hits. Euer Andreas
.. bin zwar erst 75 geboren, aber hab noch etwas die Break-Dance Zeit mitbekommen, Rock Steady Crew usw.. war einfach cool.. und die Mucke mag ich immer noch ;)
JoeJedi75 Hallo und guten Abend, zu Deinem Beitrag, jeep. Ja, dass war und bleibt ein Stück Dance Geschichte in den 80 Ger Jahren und ein Stück schöne Erinnerung an meine Teenager Zeit. Ich finde es toll, dass Du Dich für dieses Musik und deren Tanz gut findest. Du bist zwar etwas Jünger, dennoch hast Du einen guten Geschmack, was Musik und Rhytmus betrifft.:-))) Eine Gute Wahl. MG Andreas
Na verdade, é o ancestral do funk brasileiro. Os primeiros funk's nacionais não fugiam muito do break e do rap estadunidenses, claro que também com uma grande influência do freestyle latino. O ritmo foi mudando com o tempo, mas o conceito usado é o mesmo até hoje.
what a 1980s masterpiece + good video from 1984 this is a propper breakdancing anthem! i loved the fashion/music/computers this takes me back to being a very young kid I was about 9 but they was the best days ever in the uk! I would go back in a heartbeat in time machines existed!!! there was a song by baltimora called tartan boy than was sampled off this song 🎵 as they sound very simular!!! 🔈🔉🔊🥳🥳🥳
simple as it can ever be (and i mean simply said not the song itself) - greatest breaks/freestyle song of all time and it beats the "messsage" and "planet rock"
This tune still blows my mind all those years ago. The radio stations in Barbados gave this tune so much air play and it still sounds good today as it did when I first heard it. Big shout out to the mother of breakdance. NYC!!!!
