#Taco
this song creates a feeling for me i can’t explain
Ciaga wey when i was like 9 i had an obsession with this song. i can’t explain it but it lasted a few weeks and i showed all my friends the music video.
Same here like no other, ever... Strange
@@haram1664 😲 I was about the same age when this song came out and I was fascinated by it!
same omg. I can't really describe it but at the very least I feel goosebumps
That’s the sign of a wonderfully written song. It leaves a mark on you
Taco moves like an animtronic and i love it
@@yourdawgskip Can't underscore this enough - love Steam Powered Giraffe so much, though they've gone through some serious line-up changes over the course of their career. They're still producing quality material, though!
he wouldn't be out of place in the original Blade Runner
That's just the vampire in him trying to look like a normal living person... Lol
You beat me to it :(
Anyway-
He should work at Chuck E. Cheese.
The fact that 40 years later, Taco is actually responding to tons of comments is just amazing and warms my heart. He seems like a great guy
Actually almost 100 years later!
responding ? where ?
@@pete3802no, 40 years later.

So grateful to still be around and have the chance to meet and greet via social media!
Taco if you're reading this I cannot express how much I love this version of this song. Thank you for giving humanity this absolute gem.
Thanx a million!

This is what Taco was known for . He performed depression era show tunes in a modern style. He is still active today as a musician and actor.
A damn good one too B-)
He's magnificent
👍😸🇺🇸⚡💖 Thanks. Good to know.
Он закончил просто актерскую школу или курсы, но он никогда не был известным актёром, не снимался никогда в кино, только принимал участие в мюзикл холлах
He’s the best. What a legend ⭐️❤️⭐️
He's got that Rocky Picture Horror Show vibe to him.
Oginaka first thing i thought too
flamboyant with high cheek bones
Thought the same thing. Who came out first Rocky or Taco.
He even LOOKS like Tim Curry
Very much Tim. Lots of Curry.
The 80s funk. The tap dancing. The makeup and costumes. They really set the vibe of this fantastic song, if you read this Taco, you should know that this was a masterpiece and such a great song that I know listen to on loop, it has also become a five nights at Freddy’s song now, if you didn’t know, it’s becoming a part of modern pop culture! Just showing how legendary this song was. ♥️♥️
Wows! Thanx a million!

These women's movements. The choreography here is a pure genius.
They are very elegant!
They're so sexy, beautiful ellegant
You mean super-duper!
@@BobDobbs681 dancer here! Considering how long this song is, I'd probably say at least a week learning the steps. Since they are considered professional dancers, they probably are in the studio for almost a full day, so probably break it down into sections and then review it a couple times for memory. Afterwards, they'll spend another couple weeks "cleaning" so the movements are sharp and put together. If I'd have to guess at least a month for the initial learning. Then spend the time leading up to the show rehearsing it a few times.
And actually looking at it... The dance isn't even that difficult to learn, from a technical standpoint at least. Lots a sassy walking lol
I don't understand how anyone can not dance to this song?? This song is still soooo good after all these years. Sooo many good memories to this song.
Taco in this video feels like a lovecraftian entity that's taken a human form as a stage magician and trying to hypnotize me into being his follower.
It's working.

You took the words right out of my keypad. Just Shazamed this at the gym and now I'm a fan
Animatronic type emotion
This description is dead accurate.
this entire thing feels like a villain song in a disney direct-to-vhs sequel
Honestly i feel the same

The villains always had the most style

Не знаю английского языка, но смогу повторить зтот шедевр на слух. С детства запомнился. А мне 53 года.
I saw this in 1983 when it was new and immediately bought the record. Since then I have known that my lifestyle is entirely my own. With this performance by Taco I discovered the elegance of the 1930s, which still accompanies me today.
1930s style with a varnish of 1980s synth music.
Fun fact:
The original song was released in the 1930's which means this song is almost 100 years old and still trending to this day.
Quite impressive
Shaving Cream look it up 🎉❤
This song makes me feel like an scp group, but i am not sure if it's dr wondertainment or o5 council
And who's the original artist? Cus wasnt Taco born in 1955?
@@ateateateneaaa Irving Berlin
Holy shit
Every single movement, regardless of how small, is so deliberate and perfect. It's almost eerie in its perfection.
I feel like they weren't actually that in sync tbh. The song is amazing, and i like his movements but the background dancers felt more sloppy
@@jolie6185 I agree. I think he was perfect - the backup dancers added to the production, but were definitely not at his level.
Ironic because I was thinking how the dancers weren't in synch as the song progressed...
yes so right
0:30 if u turn up, and listen closely u can hear someone calling him a think for wearing makeup. That could by why
An I C O N. Not only us this man the epitome of class, he's responding to comments years later. I salute u. 🫡

this comment made me lose my shit 💀
Somehow he's performing as if he was the Joker seconds before transitioning into the villain.
LOL
Although the killing joke and the 2019 joker movie are the majorities preferred origin story for the joker i always had a origin in mind that he was a on stage preformer similar to this and that was how he acquired his sense of style charisma and bravado
This songs cynical tone always seemed like something that my elseworld joker would preform
Excellent observation!
your comment wins
I see a little bit of Tim Curry here myself, but I can that transition about to happen white skin and green hair on it’s way.

This song Is from 1983

That one was stupid and I half expected it and _yet_ it still made me laugh. Thank you.
I'm with you, I want to always believe that! He is a master, there's many many many performers out there, but he was a master, when it comes to artists, he was more artistic than many singers actors and dancers that I've ever known!

Those girls did an amazing job with keeping movement, while still looking awesome! Choreography 10/10
Yes the ladies did a magnificent job on dancing that's a fact
Made a great playback performance even better. Nice legs man 👅

Are you serious!!!?? First of a they're WOMEN!!! 🤡 Second they have absolutely NO rhythm!! 🙄🤔
It's actually a tough routine that they performed.

Да еще и про Путина в Рице спел. Вообще провидец.
Thank you, Taco, for this great song! ❤
Now this is entertainment.

The man actually did the tap dance portion of the song.
He learned the steps.
You gotta admire the conviction.
Umm... Some people actually know how to tap dance really well so that wouldn't be a very complicated routine for them at all.
@@withgoddess7164 No duh. Taco was a cabaret performer, after all.
Did he? I never knew that. Learn something new everyday!
Of course he’s got the moves.
I would assume he probably has a history of being a tapdancer lmao.

I've always loved this live version. What a showman.
TACO was the ONLY ONE who could perform this song with such PA-ZAZZ!! I love watching this video over and over again to study his moves on stage and he plays directly to his audience!!! WOW!! What an excellent performer he IS !!!
I agree with you 💯%! 👍
Fred Astaire,eat your heart out,mate.
You need to watch young Frankenstein

I agree. That is so well done. I like it~!
"Puttin' On the Ritz" is a song written by Irving Berlin. He wrote it in May 1927 and first published it on December 2, 1929. It was registered as an unpublished song on August 24, 1927, and again on July 27, 1928. It was introduced by Harry Richman and chorus in the musical film Puttin' On the Ritz (1930). According to The Complete Lyrics of Irving Berlin, this was the first song in the film to be sung by an interracial ensemble. The title derives from the slang expression "to put on the Ritz", meaning to dress very fashionably! This expression was itself inspired by the opulent Ritz Hotel in London!
1983 BABY!
🙂
Before coming over here, i saw a video of the original song.
First time I heard a version was in "Young Frankenstein"...
@@channelthree9424 me too a clip from a movie
I saw the clip just a few minutes ago...surprised that they'd have an interracial cast that far back. By many accounts, the film wasn't very good, but it introduced the song to the masses.
This is one of those songs that can be listened to and sung by every generation. It's that clever--and that good.
Taco is a legendary hero whose music is still famous today.. honestly so impressive!! Also I ❤️ this song!! I can watch this video for HOURS nonstop! Truly amazing love ya taco!
Me to honestly
I vibe to this everyday never gets old I listen to this on my bus and my bike rides hiking and everywhere this is a absolute bop
I like Taco's expressions as he performs. One of the best performing arts in the '80s out there.
The face he makes in the thumbnail of this video is permanently ingrained in my head. It’s somethin.
No he is not one of the best 80's performers, cut that crap. This is one goofy song not worth a crap. It something you listen to only to make fun of the song. SMDH!!!

you can see the energy and dedication in each performance. So real, so tangible. Just recently discovered Taco, and he has become a new favorite
There's an ironic, dystopian tinge to this that I really appreciate, like something that would be played in Panem or Snowpiercer to distract the masses. Also, he sings like he's overcompensating for a REALLY THICK accent - it works.
Cringe
Annunciation.
I like your pfp
He's Dutch so he is compensating
I get the same vibe but the fact that you chose Panem and Snowpiercer physically hurt me. Gotta be bladeunner.

Professional dancers did a really great job with this troupe dance. This isn't easy stuff. Amazing!
I was about 10 when this came out, I remember thinking then that this is a brilliant reimagining of a very old tune!
Hard to believe this song was almost 40 years ago. Damn, I remember it so well.
This rendition is 40 years old, but the song is almost 100 years old. Look it up with Fred Astaire singing and dancing.
It's hard to believe Shrek is 20 years old.
A number one song in 1983.
WHOA
He looks a mix between Joker and Willy Wonka in a wierd way

True. I'm getting joker vibes from him
It's called being Dutch
I’m getting Frank N. Furter vibes from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Nahh he looks like tim curry in rocky horror picture show
One of my favorite songs and videos
I still have his cassette, love this man ❤
The rhythmic pattern of the verse of this song is one of the most bizarrely captivating vocal arrangements in music. It's almost like it shouldn't work or doesn't fit but then suddenly resolves satisfyingly on the downbeat.

This man was way ahead of his time, sounds just like modern electronic music
Ahead of his time? Taco or Irving Berlin?
I’d say this is the rich person version of modern electronic music, and fuck it’s so much better. As a massive fan of Dubstep and EDM I must tip my hat to the purest musical definition of “drip”.
Remember when Kelly from Married With Children had to dance as a tap dancer, but ended up ballroom
It’s like the predecessor of lemon demon
This was the 80s, he sounded like a lot of others in the 80s
Wow. Not only is he still alive, his real first name is Taco !

Although there were other versions, this one was the most popular, the extravagance of the video and the way he sings is fascinating.
Great job! Have always loved this song! Never gets old!

I imagine it would be distracting to be one of the dancers and ask yourself, mid-performance, "after all my years of study and practice, how did I land HERE?"
Everything about this, even the dancers and the dancing, is very 80's. I'm sure the dancers weren't thinking that.
Dancer here! Honestly those costumes aren't even that different from what we wear in the studio (leotard and tights). Honestly the hats are what I'm focusing on 🤣
I can tell you that they probably spent a couple weeks learning and cleaning those steps!
@@kizarose5083 You didn't dance with hats at all? I'm not a dancer but growing up in the 70-80's I took dance in school and we used hats as props all the time especially in tap.
This is the ritzyest RITZ rendition. Absolutely the ultimate and classiest of all versions. Definitely awesome. Way to go, Taco and ladies.
Taco has said that the writer told him personally at the time that his record of it was the most exciting rendition of it he ever heard.
