Paula Abdul - Opposites Attract (Official Music Video) 

A VERY talented animator worked on this and Paula’s choreography is off the charts.

This is... a more healthy relationship than you should expect from literally any music song.

Who's Still Listening In 2024 ❤ You Awesome People❤

If your here in 2024 your a real one👍

Kids nowadays cannot IMAGINE how huge and innovative this was, back in the day

The animation still looks great today.

Saints Row helped me discover this years ago & it’s still high on energy & a load of fun. Paula was onto something w/ this gem here. Also the animation team deserves credit here, for a video from 1988 this still holds up well.

Loved everything about this video!

this is the most emotionally mature relationship I have seen in decades, make it work babe

You’ve all got to remember that this song came out over a year after “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” so I’ll bet they wanted to see what would happen if you did live-action/animation like WFRR in a music video! The result: it’s honestly pretty nifty!

Definitely a classic hit heading to 2024. You can't get this type of music videos anymore. It's an outstanding effort.

Happy 61st Birthday Paula Abdul 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

My mom and I used to listen to this song when she drove around. She'd sing the main part, I'd be the cat. 20 years later, it was me driving, still singing the same parts. Except we changed it to "Cuz I'm dressed like a cat," cuz it was cute. My mom died six months ago. But... when I drove my sister around, it came up on my Spotify... sang the same part. 😊

Paula Abdul was a very underrated performer............great dancer.........fab voice. OH And she is gorgeous

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Candace Reckinger and Michael Patterson,[4] in which Abdul dances with cartoon character MC Skat Kat, voiced by the Wild Pair, Bruce DeShazer and Marvin Gunn.[5] An additional rap, written by Romany Malco, was provided by Derrick "Delite" Stevens[6] for the Street mix version of the song, which was edited for the 7"/video. The idea of MC Skat Kat came from the Gene Kelly film Anchors Aweigh, where Kelly dances with Jerry Mouse from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series. Paula even choreographed the animated character's moves to match her live-action dance moves in the video. MC Skat Kat was animated by members of the Disney animation team, working outside the studio between major projects, under the direction of Chris Bailey.[7] MC Skat Kat's movements were the result of rotoscoping animation, with Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers standing in for the character against a blue screen, then drawing the animated form over Chambers' dance moves. The Wild Pair Marvin Gunn and Bruce DeShazer did not appear in the video, although two other cats (also animated) did appear, possibly meant to represent them. The video won the 1991 Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video and was nominated for Breakthrough Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards.

Respect to the president of Alaska for this groovy classic :p

MC SKAT KAT?!!! ROGER FRICKIN' RABBIT???!!! CHIP 'N DALE BROUGHT ME HERE!!!

My 4th grade teacher showed me this so my class can understand protons and electrons. My whole class was jamming out.

Paula was huge in the 80s. Still rocks today in 2023

Anyone else here reminding themselves of the humble beginnings of the president of the independent nation of Alaska?

I think miss Paula found the fountain of youth. She was 27-30 when she first made music and looked like a teen, now she's 54 and looks only maybe 34 (she's actually even more beautiful today).

"It may be your mission, Pierce, but I'm driving." "Fine! But I control the radio!"

Man, that bassline is just too good

Paula Abdul is a phenomenonal talented dancer.

back in the 80s they were dancing with cartoons (this), zombies (thriller), and puppets (bowie in labyrinth). What a great time.

Paula's performance at the Billboard Music Awards brought me here. Such a classic video

Presidential material, who'd have thought.

2024 and still bangs, and as I was listening too this song, and the events of today, I just shook my head and laughed, I love you baby 13 years and going strong

This era was the ish. She had some great songs with great production.

#PaulaAbdul #80s.. It’s 2023. Still loving this classic with the awesome old school music power of MTV.. anyone else?

Crazy to think this cat would end up becoming the president of Alaska.

I always loved that low sounding synthesizer sound that comes through the chorus.

Props to Abdul for pulling off those dance moves IN HEELS!

I'm just mesmerized by the bassline and overall groove. Unbelievably funky.

that's my president

I miss stuff like this, music in these, natural environments, a bit trashy looking sure, but it's alive in it's own way. It's beautiful. It's real.

The most 80s thing I've seen and I love it so much.

We watched this in 89' in 8th grade science class. Damn time flies.

Shout out to my math teacher Mrs Lobdell who used this song to teach about negative numbers

Wow, I cant beleive they got the President of Alaska for this clip!

The 80s, when a cat can get a date but you can’t. 🐱

I love this song, never fails to put me in a good mood.

Who's still jamming to this classic tune in March 2024?👍

2:31 When my friends say something disrespectful to me.

Anyone else here just because they're really old and remember the song from when they were a kid? :(

this song is so true! my husband is a corn fed country boy and I am a down town city girl. we have known each other for 5 yrs and have been married for 2 and our relationship is just as strong as ever. when you respect each others opinions, have an open communication line, and always put God first then your relationship should last the test of time! take care! :)

Her energy was always a joy

Shockingly, this cat would go on to become the president of the independent Republic of Alaska.

As an animator and fellow cat lover myself, I give this video AND SONG my full approval. I saw this music video when I was bowling and I thought it looked cool so I checked it out. Love it!

I’m from the 1980s so this stuff was amazing and so fresh and exciting. Kids today can never know how we paved the way….. especially for a gorgeous talented Paul Abdul to star with a dancing hand drawn cat with swollen feet 😂

Damn, I love Paula!! She's the complete package when it comes to singing, dancing and beauty!! 🤩❤️

The president of the independent state of Alaska and Paula Abdul in love? Wow

Can't believe this guy was in the new Chip n Dale trailer

Paula hasn't aged, she looks the same today as she did 20yrs ago! She was an amazing dancer.

Don't mind me, just paying my respects to the president of the Independent Nation of Alaska

The president of independent Alaska is absolutely killing it

I've always loved this video. I remember thinking how cool it was that it combined live action with animation. Still fun video to watch even now.

Paula Abdul was and still is a knockout. she could sing, she could dance and every song had a beat that just caught you and still is playable in 2017. love you Paula ❤❤❤❤❤

There he is, the president of Alaska

Listening to this makes me feel like a teenager again!😊❤

Quick question.why noone make videos like this anymore?? Seriously,this is so colourfull,funny and entertaining..

What an adorable song , she's so pretty and cute !

Thats our president o7

Me and my nan would always sing and dance along whenever this song came on the telly! Makes me feel nostalgic re-listening. It's not the same since she's no longer here, but I can still enjoy the song. 💕

That moment when an animated cat is a better rapper than Drake.

The melody, the arrangement, the rhythm - all stand the test of time. Could have been written and performed today, and would be met with great successs.

I thought Mark did a pretty good job guessing despite not knowing anything about geography, physics, history, math, politics or current events. Wait, is that the President of Alaska? I'm on the wrong video...

Paula Abdul is TALENTED in own unique way. I love that.

As a kid I never understood this video I just loved the cartoons lol this is dope !

This is explicitly referenced in the new Rescue Rangers movie coming out... It's so seeped in 90s, I love it so so soooo much.

I’m surprised there wasn’t a movie or something based on this video.

The music video that made me fall in love with Paula Abdul.

Paula Abdul is just a perfect pop singer and dancer - nobody has ever reached her standards of perfection.

paula taught janet how to dance. one the greatest dancers of the last 30 years

2024 and still catchy as all hell , that beat , the flow , its awesome :)

Thank you Saints row 4 for having this banger on it.

She is sooo frekin' ADORABLE!!

loved loved this song when i was a kid n still love it! :)

I still remember how my mother showed me this music video when I was a kid, and to this day, I still think the song and the video are a blast.

I remember when I was younger and I watched MTV. I love it ❤ ❤❤

Shoutout to paula. So many styles of dance in that video. She is and forever will be a legend.

So iconic! My favorite song as a 6-year-old. I loved watching the video on MTV. Fond memories of my parents singing this back and forth whenever it came on the radio. Fun memories! Such a great song!

I didn’t know this song existed until I watched the most upsetting game show episode by grouse house

One of my favourite tracks .

God! Why can't we have music and music videos like this anymore?

Wish we had more music videos with toons nowadays!

Music was great back in the day

Услада ушей и глаз, премиальный клип 90х. Ностальгия.

This is one hell of a song ! This song is a triple threat,the singing,the funky ass beat,and the cute video!!!

The way Paula slides in at the beggining and starts singing is so cool and iconic

HAPPY 61ST BIRTHDAY PAULA ABDUL (JUNE 19, 2023)

What a pure masterpiece !!!!

No other woman can dance like Paula, she is perfection in every sense !!!!

Привет из России! Мне 45 лет и я вырос на этой музыке! Вроде жизнь удалась, а всё равно, как накатишь коньячку, скучаешь по нашему счастливому детству!

This was a first of it's kind video back in the day. Energy was off the hook and running to epic degrees. Awesome tune and memories.

I'm not Outgoing, but I'm Caring, Quiet, and Reserved

Omg I can't believe I finally found this after watching chip n Dale I used to watch this video on repeat when I was kid I'm literally having years in my eyes rn

BTW, MC Skat Kat is alive and well and works at Minnesota Public Radio

Damn, remembered only about this in 2024, so many years passed, but what a great artist.

2020 who else here? Paula still fine!!!
