Dancing in the Dark | Bruce Springsteen | funk cover ft. Darren Criss 

They all kind of look like alternate versions of the same person.

I wanna hear y'all do Crazy Little Thing Called Love with Darren now.

I love how Darren is totally looking at the lyrics during the second verse but he totally kills it anyway

Am I the only one whos obsessed with what he does with his voice at 0:29? Dude, he’s so good

definition of magic: you have been a Darren Criss's fan for years, but you click 'cause it's Scary Pockets, without reading the title, and realize it's Darren just after 1 minute of pleasure.

I'm so attracted to Darren, it's not healthy anymore

Darren slays, everytime. I mean, he got a Golden Globe for *KILLIN IT*

I just follow this channel and then a wild Darren Criss appears?? it's fate

Those glow in the dark nails. God I love this man.

I love how he reads the lyrics off his back, lol it makes it for me.

Darren is special. This aura and charisma he has. When he sings, he's telling a story. He's clearly inhabited with the song.This is the actor in him. 💌💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤍

Nobody interprets a song like Darren Criss! Every choice vocally and even body language makes this such a great version of this song!

yes we love scary pockets and we love darren criss, he's harry freakin' potter!

I love that you guys keep bringing Darren back, we all need this chill'n'funk

wow okay y'all really said "let's murder everyone this morning" and DELIVERED

I finally bough a proper pair of headphones with excellent bass and I feel like a half-blind man who just had new glasses on

Damn his voice sounds so freaking good!!

This is one of you guys' most criminally underrated covers.

Yesssssss!

He’s literally one of the cutest people everrrr

Can I also mention how cool the clap-on clap-off joke was? So many layers to that! You've got a perfect spot for two claps, just perfect syncopation adding passion and a highlight to that spot in the song, so... of course it would occur to Darren: why not do a clap-on clap-off reference, since it will be cool to go dark right after we just sang that we're about to dance in the dark? Ugh it was so perfect. Darren's brain I swear. Amazing.

Me at beginning of the video: "What are those white dots on the faces?" Me @1:17: "Oh...THAT'S COOL!"

Yes! This is curing my monday blues. And let's face it : Darren could sing the phone book and I would love it.

You gotta love the faces from Jack "Who Knew Vibing Could Be Aggressive" Conte. Just greatness

i love how darren has his nails painted to glow in the dark

I love Bruce Springsteen, Scary Pockets, Funk Covers, Darren Criss, and Dancing in the Dark. This is just the perfect video for me.

I don't want to admit how many times I have watched this

I'm so in love with Darren it's so sad

That cover was so fucking good!! Darren totally killed it and the whole black light thing was awesome. You guys did an amazing arrangement giving this song a whole new other spin

I would love to hear you do a cover of “Why should I worry” from Oliver and Company with Darren!

Darren is amazing! He's voice is so good. I just love him

I love how Darrens singing and he stands in the back not overshadowing the dope assery of the band ☆☆☆

gave this song a Fresh take, Scary Pockets getting all Neon.

This needs more views. It's one of their better covers. That is saying something since 90% of all their content is fire to start with.

Oh my god this is absolutely AMAZING ! I'm already completely addicted. But I shouldn't be surprised : I mean it's Darren Criss after all.

At first, Im like, ahh they're gonna do it gospel like, but then it got funky building into the drop, and then the lights go out and BAMN have some dance techno funk. Great as always. Refreshing to here the classics from the Boss covered in new classic ways. I hope you guys keep changing up the old pitches with the new talent- it goes to demonstrate both the contextual nature and timeless essence of musix as a communication between people and culture.

Why don't you guys just BLOW ME AWAY EVERY TIME !! I wish he could have grabbed me from the crowd and danced with me ! LOL!

That's a lot of great music coming from a tiny space. Another fine addition, gentlemen.

This man is pure perfection!!!

I was thinking ‘oh Darren doesn’t have any nail polish on’ and then boom GLOW IN THE DARK NAILS

this is a seriously underappreciated banger. we love you jack conte, your facial expressions give us life.

Wow! I love the unexpected take on this song! Good job friends!! Bravo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love Darren... he´s amazing.

One of the most interesting facts about this channel: all and each of you are stars on the show you perform. Congratulations!!!

Nice interpretation! Loved the 80's and funk vibe. Great vocalist!

text on drummer`s back xD

blessed with darren criss singing springsteen

Darren Criss singing Bruce Springsteen? Christmas came early.

The stage and the singer are there to cheer us up .. thank you!

I love his acting and that low notes give me chills.

Looks like you had a lot of fun with this one - even Ryan and Joe are grooving

Oh dudes, don't know what to say, u guys just make my day. Keep on rocking in the free world brothers....love from Bangladesh.

Lost my mother flipping mind when the neon bit happens.

歌詞をとてもよく表現している様なこのMVが大好きで、今だに何度も見にきます。 こんな素敵な作品を作ってくれてありがとうございます

Did anyone else want the drumsticks to glow? 🥁

Darren really amazes me, great actor, great singer, great musician, and pretty handsome!

I not a big fan of the original, though I appreciate it for what it is. I absolutely LOVE this cover.

Can't believe you got Joe to do his nails !! LOL!!

I do believe that the Boss himself would approve mightily.

THE Energy!!!

Loving that backdrop!

OMG YES DARREN

Saw live in Portland! Can’t have imagined a better performance. Incredible in studio mind blowing live!!!! Returning soul back to music.

My fav part is when it gets dark! Yassss!

What a blast with the “clap-off”! Dance!!!

I actually put off watching this one, since I did not know the original too well, and didn't really like Springsteen. Turns out this is one of your finest recent videos. Not only do I think the UV light effect is funny, but I really love the groove and energy on this one! Nicely done, thanks!

This take on an old time fave feels so fresh

Um. YES. Holy shit. Favorite.

I love the lighting and videography on this one, the final reveal of the neon word "Dance" was a nice touch!

Corey Lubowich is a gift to this world

i love funk and i love Darren Criss so this is amazing

What a cover! Love it!

I don't know why I read Bruce Dickinson and was like OMG WHAT IS THIS. Never ever have I been a fan boy of the Boss, but this cover is F-I-R-E!

I LOVE IT!!! 💜🧡💚💙 need this on Spotify now ❤👏🏼👏🏼

CAN'T. STOP. LISTENING.

It's totally awesome ❤😍👏👏👏 I love you so much Darren ! Kiss from France ! Take care of yourself !

Love logging in to RU-vid, and just seeing new videos with Joe Ayoub!

I've been dying for a good quality version of Darren doing this song ever since he covered it at one of his shows with Lea Michele! :D This funk version is awesome, though not gonna lie, I still prefer the stripped down acoustic version he did on his own best of all just because it really highlights the lyrics and depth of the song and it's beautiful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KwlaiE_ybwI.html

Me discovering Scary Pockets... Hammering the back catalogue. Loving every minute. Astonished by the musicality as a bass player myself. Get to the chorus in this: Oh, come... Oooon! Sen smeging sational

totally awesome

I loved it before the blacklight, now I'm up dancin' again!

I get up in the evening And I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there baby, I could use just a little help [Chorus 1] You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark [Verse 2] Message keeps getting clearer Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't getting nowhere I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere Baby, I just know that there is [Chorus 1] You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark [Bridge] You sit around getting older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders Come on, baby, the laugh's on me [Verse 3] Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carving you up all right They say you gotta stay hungry Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book I need a love reaction Come on now, baby, gimme just one look [Chorus 2] You can't start a fire Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire Worrying about your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark [Outro] Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Even if we're just dancing in the dark Hey, baby
