Taco 1984 Charleston Medley 

He's such an enigmatic person. I feel inspired by his creative, exciting persona. The 80s was full of interesting characters. I wish I had been my age back then.

Back in the 80's, I had a huge crush on him, he was the cutest thing, I'm sure he still is.

I remember him. I loved the song "Puttin´On The Ritz" when it came 1983. I just love this kinda music. Fred Astaire is another favorite.

i was in the front row. best performance i've ever witnessed.

He reminds me of early Tim Curry -- good stuff!

I've been trying to contact Taco for the longest time, but he obviously doesn't have a fanmail address. However, I came across a luggage tag from one of his tours with his 'Taco' logo on one side and an address and phone number on the back. It's a start!

Потрясающий талантливый артист,пластичный, харизматичный и много много еще разных достоинств. Спасибо! Браво! Я влюблена! 💘💘💘💋💋💋👏👏👏👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

Yes and he was big in the '80s. Big time.

Hes addicting for sure , We used to listen to Puttin on the Ritz in my jaz class back in the day !

I just love watching him move! I wish so much that I grew up in the 80s.

Holy god how 80's. I love this shit. Thanks for posting.

Love his dancing! lol

Love the dance moves.

and when he says "see you 2009"! ;D

I think this was one of the first youtube videos I watched, and then my computer was in an accident a few months later. Now I finally get to see it again. This is awesome.

Taco needs a permanent gig somewhere in Las Vegas. Seriously. The man oozes charisma.

Thanx for the recipe that actually came out really good. I added some chipotle tabasco to it and that kicked the flavor up a notch in the right direction.

Good stuff =) Please tell her to tell him that we demand a comeback! =)

I sure loved this! Now when I listen to Taco singing The Charleston Medley I can just picture him performing it too!

Just the fact that this wasn't a mega-worldwide hit is all the proof we need to know that the music business is an utter joke. Period.

Just awesome.

Gotta love that dance Taco does.

11 out of 10! this is soooo sweet

love it!

YES! I've always thought he looked like what would happen if Tim Curry and Buster Poindexter gave birth.

I love his facial expressions, he's got this evil cherub thing going on. His eyes, his teeth...it's like he's channeling Tim Curry (thank you KingDando for mentioning this!). Where IS this stage anyway??? Look at the audience between numbers...it's clearly a WTF moment. "He is singing, ja? But not singing?"

At around 5:20 he says. "See you 2009." HE KNOWS!!!

Glad to see Adam Rich is doing so well

Charleston, Charleston i've put on you next what??? cant figure out..

I love this guy!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why u got -3 for that comment...you're absolutely right!! Taco OWNS!!

But it was not a thing of the 80's he did here. Nobody else did something that reminded of this. It was HIS thing he did.

Man, you can't help but love Taco. He's an amazing singer, and highly attractive. I have no doubts he still is. I have a Taco fansite coming up next month (possibly). For the people who have commented this video asking for mp3's, I'm adding a section to the site for downloads with music from my collection of Taco cd's and records. :)

Michigan J. Frog 🐸 comes to mind listening to this. Hello my baby Hello my honey Hello my ragtime gaaalll Send me a kiss by wiiire Baby my heart's on fiiiiire 🔥 🐸

I guess people can't tell the difference between saying that someone is shit (which taco isn't), and THE shit (Which Taco absolutely is!!) Its all good, though :) Taco rocks, and he'll ALWAYS be the fricken' shit! WOO!!

Man... Taco is still alive... the one who died was Falco...

Metal to the max. \m/

Dude. Taco is the fucking SHIT! Look at him go!

Oh thank you pikelsnpixies

is this tim curry as dr frankenfurter?

He's got charisma pouring out his farking ears! :D

Wow! Great to see this Taco video. A bit corny maybe(and the dancing... eehrm no comment), but that's part of why I love this. As a synth buff I also really love some of the synth string pads (Roland Jupiter 8 maybe?) even though the whole mix is very much on the cheesy side. But it's on purpose and made with a lot of humour and it fits the music perectly, at least in "Putti'n on the Ritz" ("perfect fits" he he) Now it's up to us to create some tribute versions of some of his songs!!!

pure class! can i get you a drink massa?

seems like sylvester

@20pAnDaBeAr10 In one word,awesome!

@Brumbazzen He's alive and kicking :) He's also been in Romania at the beggining of April

Lordie I was nuts about Taco back in the day. (yes I admit that LOL). Loved "Superphysical Resurrection" - which is the second song he does here! I think that was a vague attempt at a pop song that wasnt a throwback to a bygone era. Yes he's scary but thats part of the charm XD

Charleston, Charleston Made in Carolina

How do you see if a suit is rented? =) This is an incredible show! =)

Starts at 00:49

Because he's marvelous!

why are people talking about 2009 somebody help me out!

@Sledge101 Yes,that's his name :) He;s from Jakarta(Indonesia) and he lives in Germany since 1974.

He's a ding dong dancing fourthmeal.

its like a creepy mix between Tiny Tim and Elvis

yea its a shame but so is falco and we all know taco and falco has enough fans so even though they are listed as one hit wonders we know how good they really are

An oldies trip with Georgia, Georgia? =)

do you have any more videos than this one and the music videos?

Yeay! Swedish! :')

Yeah that was pretty darn good. Taco rocks and it's a shame he's under the one hit wonder hit category. I'd better get his After 8 album.

Do you have any idea what Taco is doing now? My friend and I were just talking about him last night. There's nothing if you search for it on the web. Do you know his real name?

Anyone know where to find the lyrics for superphysical resurrection? I like the song but there are always the one or two words you can't quite understand.

I'd buy all his cd's but they're way too expensive right now.

3:53 I like this song too, what’s it called?

Does anyone know where he's from? Is he still doing anything?

It reminds me of Monsters Of Megaphone from Mr. Show.

I'm not so sure about the first part but the second song was pretty badass. I what to know what song it is.

HEY, isn't that the puffy shirt from Seinfeld?

I think the people who believe Taco's dead are probably confusing him with Falco.

Is he still alive today ?

@FredericaBimble Taco Ockerse is his real name(he's Dutch)

it's naturally wrong synched from the broadcasting in tv. But I can only use this crappy program ultra video splitter to transfer från dvd vob to mpg. it synchs it even more wrong.

SVT!!!

And fun it brings -???????????-

lol. no. because taco said "i'm not wearing this puffy shirt in front of all those people!" before performance. he chose an ordinary shirt ^^

What language?

i wonder who does his beats. dope shit.

ha!! mein großmutter kennt taco persönlich kein witz! sie hat ihn früher in ihrmem auto durch hamburg gefahren!

wtf is the ending????????????

marry me!!

is this guy for real?

Maybe it's a lag, but it looks like he's lip-syncing.

I think was arabic.

Swedish.

or maybe not or maybe you

And who the fuck is the first guy?

This. is. so. weird.

Oh my god! I've always loved Taco's music, and I even liked the Puttin' On the Ritz video. But now I sort of wished I hadn't seen this. Maybe I would have thought it was cool back in the 80s, but now it just looks corny beyond all corniness. Still, I guess I'm glad to have seen it overall. lol

Creepy guy seriously.

Amazing singer? Highly attractive?? Oh, please... Raise your standards.
