I heard this song for the first time when I was 7 years old in the bumper cars at the party, I heard it so many times at that age that today I remember it and I love it.😊😋
This was my favorite song of the disco era. I know people everywhere "hate" disco, but it still brings more people out to the dance floor than any other genre of music.
I'm 55 and have been playing heavy metal guitar since 1987 - I adore Disco, the '70s were such an amazing time to be alive, and I loved that era of pop music and very much miss it (although I have to say the '80s were the best time to be alive EVER). So now I'm going to stick on some Boney M, Chic, Donna Summer, Village People, Bee Gees, Earth Wind & Fire, Eruption and whatever has a sniff of Disco in it, and I'm gonna play it LOUD 😝
This is an amazing example of what can happen when people get together and they share a goal - in this case, they want to dance together according to choreography in an uplifting song. Amazing feat! Great energy, great coordination and great spirit! The world in great and small need this :)
yeah .... well if a wise person said that, that wise person then shouldn't have a problem telling a person that remark and that person SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF THEIR MOUTH and says, "make me!!!"
Will, and KC & The Sunshine Band... even if I go to other planet alone, I will bring the usb-mp3... seriously, whenever I had tortures in my head as "wtf is going on... the world", I would play all the hits from them and this song with hours to days, and will go on to work next day. Just now going to continue renovating my house with ear-speakers, as the first tool I always grab on my belt - later everything else.
This video makes me smile every time. Something inspiring in our unperfect world. People had worked hard with music and dance to have fun together! And they shared it with me! Thanks!
This is great ! Great choreography and getting all those girls to be that in sync is a pretty amazing feat. I had forgotten too how hot the guitar playing is that song. Critics be damned. There's just no pleasing some people ....thank goodness some people have the guts to put it on the line despite the naysayers.
I was 15yrs old & was a waiter at the most popular disco in Montreal when this came out. Yep, I was under age but told them I was 18, $200 a night in tips was big money at 15 in the 70s. Anyway, when this song came on even the staff was dancing & I still love this song today, packed full of energy. Another good energy one is Heaven Must Have Sent You,
2024...in my mid-70s...still dancing merrily!....no, wasn't in the video...this fantastic video!...need more group dancers, pro or not, dancing for fun! 🥰👵🥰
It's worth remembering that when this song first came out back '79 Moldova was part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics where western disco music was banned for being decadent, bourgeois and counter revolutionary. These girls' parents and grandparents wouldn't have been allowed to hear the song let alone dance to it.
I am now 71 years old and I look at this video and see the most beautiful and incredible young women on this planet .... I am so proud as once upon a time that was me,,,,,,,,

Qué ritmo más sensual y lindo. Esto sí que es saber divertirse, bailando. No con la pésima música de ahora, con tanta obscenidad y mal gusto interpretativo.
You can tell the ladies in the front line are in their 20's (teachers) ... girls behind them are their students..... they had to at least rehearsed all these moves for a month or 2 months ... which is great because from what I found out, seems they did their moves to a different song at the time when recorded. Their moves, pretty much went into sequence with Born To Be Alive, and with no doubt these ladies have to be even prouder that song /Born to be Alive/ has probably increased the views of their video by OVER 14 MILLION......
I was only about 7 when I first heard this on a fairground in Ashton-under-Lyne near Manchester think it was July 1979 its a propper decent song and far better than this crap music of the 2020s as to me it ain't music it's just white noise that's it!!! The late 70s 80s was the best era for music!!! 😎🥳🥳🥳
70's 80's the best? nah ..... the 60's has to be included, especially the way towards the end of the decade ... Beatles, the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Jackson 5 & the Motown sound....so many groups towards the end of the decade formulating NEW sounds but ... no matter what its just ROCK. Not rock N roll, ... it was originally called ROCK, some radio dj said rock n roll to the white audience ....simple 4 beats to the measure. Young black musicians felt back in the late 40's that jazz was getting to deeeep with the likes of Miles Davis, Charlie Parker Thelonious Monk Dizzy Gillespie making the beats of the music more complicated. So, some of these young musicians at the time said, "just keep it simple, 4 beats to the measure....just wanna rock ..... you know to 4 beats to the measure....." hence Fats Domino, Little Richard, Chuck Berry kept it simple .... but I do get what you're saying, ... me you have to include the 60's a lot of talent really set the foundation of rock that transpired to the 70's & 80's ....
We need more this spirit now please 🙏👏 Celebration of the human spirit is the most effective protest there is. Don't rally and be angry..just take to the streets blast your music..take off your mask 😷 and dance!!! Others will join before u know it. It's world wide..✌️☮️🌎
To me ... they look like high school students, seniors, juniors & so on.... rehearsed the moves got together to do this video. And I know they are proud today they did it & could say "hey I was in this video....." that has over 13 million views. Well done ladies & gents!!! A few boys in the video too.....
@@jzeaser6575 Yes i do actually realise that. I have asked many times what they were actually dancing to but i have never got the answer...Goober...! 😁
"People ask me why I never found a place to settle down down down..." Not all who Wander are lost. #StillHereIn2021 #WeLoveYouAll #WelcomeHome ❤❤💛💛💚💚®️
Nearly 12 million views as of today and it all makes sense...whatever you think of the song, the title could not be more pertinent today. This a message we need so badly these days.
I agree 100%. This video is great. When this things over, there's 2 things Im going to do- 1. Dance in the street 2. Not washing my hands for at least 24 hours. Now we are washing our hands 24 times a day. Greetings from Charleston, West Virginia, USA
@@usmc-veteran73-77 Oh I'll be dancing in the street too alright, but much like this video, I'll hang back and let the hottest woman dance up front. This group has to be about 90%+ female, most of them attractive and they found the best ones to put up front, especially the ones with the knotted shirt and yellow tank top. Lots of nice chests bouncing - rock on!!!
Love it. I think there should be the equivalent of a dance olympics where all nations get together for a dance off, could be all categories of dance, professionals, amateurs etc, I particularly like this kind of informal street pop dance, il est fantastique.
Great song... I reckon I have made a few previous comments, mostly vodka based, on shapes, figures, boobs, bums, etc..., It matters not. Its a bunch of gals doing a great job for charity and enjoying themselves. What could be better.... Luvvit and luv the song...
I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷 I love songs that marked my childhood unfortunately I didn't live that time now I live in the year 2023 as my mother always says and says I was happy I was very happy this time without evil 😊😢
Wouldn't it be great to see 100 Russian and 100 Ukrainian soldiers put down their weapons and dance to this song the way these people are doing ???!!! 🤔✌️🍻🥲
In original video they are dancing to: Pharell Williams -- Happy / Stromae -- Papaoutai / Daft Punk -- Get Lucky / Pitbul ft. Kesha -- Timber, hence why their steps are syncronized tho Born to Be Alive.
This song is 70's but surely this music video was taken much later. Because the fashion is way too modern. Like people typically didn't wear jeans like that in the 70's. These are definitely trends from the 00's at the oldest. And since this video was posted in 2017, it would have to be the 10's at the latest. Edit: Whoops. Didn't fully read the video description.
Possibly the anthem of post Coronovrius hopefully the entire planet will be playing this after we get rid of the scourge of our world well done to each and everyone who took part. . . and hello from us all here in Scotland.
Lyrics We were born to be alive We were born to be alive Born, born to be alive (Born to be alive) Yes we were born Born Born (Born to be alive) People ask me why I never find a place to stop And settle down Down Down But I never wanted all those things People need to justify Their lives Lives Lives Yes we were born, born Born to be alive (Born to be alive) Yes we were born Born Born (Born to be alive) It's good to be alive To be alive To be alive It's good to be alive To be alive To be alive IT'S GOOD TO BE ALIVE! Time was on my side When I was running down the street It was so fine fine fine A suitcase and an old guitar It's all I need to occupy A mind like mine Yes we were born, born Born to be alive (Born to be alive) Yes we were born Born Born (Born to be alive) Yes we were born, born Born to be alive (Born to be alive) Yes we were born Born Born (Born to be alive) Yes we were born, born Born to be alive (Born to be alive) Yes we were born Born Born (Born to be alive) Yes we were born, born Born to be alive (Born to be alive) Yes we were born Born Born (Born to be alive) Born born to be alive
today, Jan. 15th, 2020; I found out about this man Patrick Hernandez, He made 70 yrs. old on April 6, 1949, 2019; also when this song came out in 1979; He was a very good looking Young Man. also nice looking now.
Moldova??? please .. its Florida & Texas that bekons them....well ... back in 1860 the North had to kicked that ass, looks like they're going to have to do it again.
One of the great disco tunes of all time. I vividly remember working PT as a DJ, and this was the most requested song. Everyone was up and on the dance floor.
OMG this is sooooo freakin' cute, I want to jump up and start dancing ... it might be because this was one of my all-time dance favorites during my disco days. Seriously, whoever came up with this flash dance was brilliant! Kudos.
