I wont lie I've been living for the past 4 years trying to remember this god damn music video and the location it was shot at. Who knew my daily morning youtube video would save me like this
Six years ago, I used to work at a diner. My girlfriend would come to pick me up at night. After lockup, we would blast this song on laptop and try to dance like Sam Rockwell. We have both graduated since then, got married and settled in an uneventful life. We are happy. But we still remember those nights. We will always have our 'Sam dance'.
We laughed and drank in the jukebox light And we tore the rug in that downtown dive Every Saturday night For fifty cents we'd dance all night long And each new tune we said that's our song Oh it felt so right Well ecstasy ain't free But compromise is chance I remember how You used to love to dance - Melissa Etheridge
He was a dance choreographer for a movie he obviously has professional training I can’t believe yall believe hes “self taught” in Hollywood😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Years ago Sam Rockwell was asked about his dancing in front and behind the camera. He said it's a great way to relax and relieve stress plus it's just fun to do.
Over the years I’ve slowly gained a respect for the talent of Sam Rockwell. Then I saw Moon and really started to follow his filmography. The guy’s got talent to spare.

I remember hearing this song 8 years ago when i was clubbing but i never knew what the song was. Cant believe it took me 8 years later from a random TH-cam Recommendation for CinemaStix's video essay on Sam Rockwell to get me back to a song I completely forgot about and then remembered when I heard the first 6 beats. Music has an incredible way of getting back to you.
@@blac478Being a human being and being a national treasure are obviously not mutually exclusive, or there'd be no national treasures ever anywhere. Stop being a pointless wet blanket and dance!
I am so happy the TH-cam algorithm showed me this. His moves are so free; reminded me of that scene in Charlie's Angels where he played the villain opposite Drew and he was doing the same footwork over the counter in that scene as he does in this video. He's got funky rhythm I really like 😀
Thanks CinemaStix's for the word. Been a fan of Sam's since Charlie's Angels, he's amazing in everything he does and he's moves are just ultrasweet. Love you Sam
This is what music videos should be like. This isn't nearly the typical music I listen to, yet I'm fascinated, drawn in, and going to explore fourther their music. I spent my childhood watching mostly VH1, I'm so disappointed to have never seen this music video before
It was about time someone made a music video featuring Rockwell's dance moves! he dances in all of his movies, and before this, we only had that; Fatboy Slim did the same with Christopher Walken, and i'd like to think that Sam did a little resemblance to Walken's "weapon of choice" when he dances near the cash register, bravo Flight Facilities, bravo indeed.
Watch closely; it's an homage to all the great hoofers: Fred Astaire (mop), John Travolta (disco ball), Bob Fosse (hat, cane), Christopher Walken (countertop), MJ (moonwalk), Donald O'Connor &/or James Cagney (tap, shuffle at the register), Patrick Swayze (girl), Eleanor Powell (rope), and Gene Kelly (umbrella). There may be others, but those are the ones I clearly see. Well done, Sam.
Glad I took a chance and clicked on this. Love the music and Sam.. I was really shocked when I learned he was in the first TMNT movie. He’s been around forever and doesn’t seem to age.
I'm crying .. we've all been there, tired as heck, sore as hell, ignored, and souless and empty. Then for a moment ... Dreams and hopes, seriously folks, we've all been there. And then we wake up. "Thanks" he said.

who's arriving from CinemaStix's video essay on Sam Rockwell ?
just got here, but not my first time
damn, I am not the only one. lol
Ive landed and I like what I see!
Always like a video bringing people back to a classic with a classic actor
I wont lie I've been living for the past 4 years trying to remember this god damn music video and the location it was shot at.

Christopher be walkn' , Sam be rockn.
Completely underrated comment. 😂😂😂

This deserves more likes from the algorithm
Like your style 🌸
Absolutely brilliant!

That's such an adorable story lol!
Nothing is stopping you from blasting this in your kitchen...❤
How did I miss this for six years??? Now I really want to see Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken do a music video together!
Right?!?
You just broke my mind!
Hold up, they are friends…. So maybe!
Oh, bro, if only!
Yup yup yup!
he is the epitome of "dance like no-one is watching". I've always been a fan of this guy.
Yeah, that’s it. A joy to watch, though.
His moves are on point though
Nicely put and spot on
Once you know he is not a formed dancer but just learned by watching others, then Sam Rockwell really looks astonishing
Natural talent
He was a dance choreographer for a movie he obviously has professional training I can’t believe yall believe hes “self taught” in Hollywood😂🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Sam Rockwell is well known and respected but even so he's terrible underrated. His talent is monumental.
Now that he has an Oscar I’m not sure he’s underrated.
He loves off-beat roles, or part roles.
Years ago Sam Rockwell was asked about his dancing in front and behind the camera. He said it's a great way to relax and relieve stress plus it's just fun to do.
Sam Rockwell, please, never ever change. you are perfect.
amen man... amen!
I swear he looks better each year with age, he looks younger and more alive than ever!
Over the years I’ve slowly gained a respect for the talent of Sam Rockwell. Then I saw Moon and really started to follow his filmography. The guy’s got talent to spare.
He was phenomenal in Moon
Yes he has wonderful acting range. Cool, weird, evil, slick, funny, sly, dweeb. You name it this guy can do it.
I saw Moon and I thought 'real science fiction.'
He always manages to get the costume department to dress him in at least one Hawaiian shirt for every production he’s in lol.
Nah, that's just how he rocks up
"I'm a big Weird Al fan, that's why, JUST DO IT!"
@@JQXJQ did he ever say that?
Isn't that nice to see a Happy Hawaiian shirt? I like men's flower shirts.
@@JQXJQ That's the Magnum PI shirt. I mean, Weird Al does have that shirt in the dark colorway but it's pretty much specifically sold as the Magnum PI shirt for people trying to make Tom Selleck references.
Sam Rockwell dancing is one of this world's best things.
How can you not love Sam Rockwell. He is friggin great

Just in time
Whenever I watch this, it always feel like a motivating warm hug from Sam
I'm so happy that his talent is being acknowledged and used.
Now he's going to be playing Bob Fosse and dancing even more!
Love Sam Rockwell. Wonderful personality that come's across in everything he does.
Sam Rockwell is a national treasure. That is all.
And you are a nerd.
He's just human bein just like the rest of us.
But he's a good actor that all to it.
@@blac478 You’d better believe I’m a nerd.
Sam Rockwell is a national treasure.
And you’re a fucking douche.
@@blac478Being a human being and being a national treasure are obviously not mutually exclusive, or there'd be no national treasures ever anywhere. Stop being a pointless wet blanket and dance!
This is beautifully shot. So many actors in Hollywood have talents that go far beyond what you see on the screen.
Sam Rockwell was already one of my favorite actors, this just cements his awesomeness.
Reminds me of Christopher walken in fat boy slim: weapon of choice
well duh..
Was just about to say he pulls of a nice 'Chris Walken'
I want them to do one together is
but Walken did it better
The difference is this dude sucks and so does the music.
Sam rockwell is a such a treasure. A Highly underrated actor

I didn't think it was possible to love this man more than I already did. He also got a fantabulous taste in music.
whoever thought of getting sam rockwell for this vid I APPLAUD YOU
This man's swag is on 1000!
Sam's dancing always puts a smile on my face 😊
I’ve listened to this song for years and just came across this gem of a music video from TH-cam’s recommendations. Better late than never!
They need to make a movie based on Sam Rockwell dancing and just being awesome!!
Mr Right :)
Yes there is it’s called Iron Man 2
@@anonamoose2229 very very true! He was pretty awesome in that movie
Thanks CinemaStix's for the word. Been a fan of Sam's since Charlie's Angels, he's amazing in everything he does and he's moves are just ultrasweet. Love you Sam
We so need more music videos that are just older actors dancing around abandoned locations like they just do not care.
YES!!
Older? What are you, 6?
Director : "Do your thing Sam"
Sam : "Hold my hesitation"

Definitely did a tribute to Walken in this. If not, that's even more amazing! Lol
And with ringing the bell in the beginning, def a nod to walker and fatboy slim

This has still gotta be one of my all-time favourite music videos.
Sam Rockwell is Awesome everything he touches is GOLD!!
Wonder if Sam Rockwell & Christopher Walken will do a duo or a dance off since they have worked together when doing Seven Psychopaths.
+Vote1Jimmy Lol, that would be great! A Dance off?
+Vote1Jimmy i was gonna comment something similar :D
+Vote1Jimmy now only Colin lacks a dancing video
Vote1Jimmy.... Now that would be funny....
this is the late night vibe i didn't know I needed this morning
I don’t think I would have listened to this without Sam Rockwell, now I can’t stop!
Watching Sam Rockwell dance is pure entertainment.
3:37 I love this shot so much
Whenever I'm feeling down I watch this and 9.5/10 times it makes everything just a bit better.
Why did I just see this? This is one of the best music videos ever because of the authenticity and soul of his every movement❤
I've loved this whole album for years. Their work with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra was simply amazing.
sam has got the moooooooves
so smooth, ouu yeaah
H
Every single one of his movies is awesome.
Whenever I’m down I put this on and I feel rejuvenated.
I love him so much. There's a gallery on my phone just for his pictures because his face makes me happy.
This is how Justin Hammer imagined himself when walking out into that Stark Expo during Iron Man 2.
rockwell is so talented. He can do so many things. He is one of my fav actors of all time. And I love to watch him dance. Sexy to me as well.
Sam Rockwell, Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Jackman - i can watch these men dance anytime! 😍😍😍
This is the old diner at Fairfax and Wilshire, right next to the 99cents :) I always wonder the interior of this place and finally I got to see it.
2:00 - 2:20 : I find this bit pretty sexy, haha. Rockwell's smooth as hell...
He's unbelievably sexy in the fact he's a lovely guy but doesnt give a fuck at the same time.
Sam in a vest is incredibly sexy, especially when it's in slow mo.
Rockwell by name.
rock very well by profession.
You're a gentleman and a poet!
congratulations on winning an Oscar, Sam Rockwell!
I can't tell is this is the real Sam Rockwell or one of his clones, but whoever it is, they're a really cute dancer.
Moon reference?
+Castor Quinn i understood that reference .
th-cam.com/video/52iI1Gxo4c8/w-d-xo.html Sam Rockwell

So much love! Flight Faciltites, Aussie duo, Sam Rockwell brilliant actor

Gary Youngman
Rene Castro and they both seem super cool and "Down to Earth"
And they win the Oscar the same year 😊
Or the lovechild of Ed Norton and Gary Oldman... ;P
Bingo!
Glad I took a chance and clicked on this. Love the music and Sam.. I was really shocked when I learned he was in the first TMNT movie. He’s been around forever and doesn’t seem to age.
Only a million views? This deserves so much more.
Paritosh Singh why does music you like needore views....sometimes it nice to have people not swarming the music you like
Most of the views are probably mine not even gonna lie. I watch it everyday.
2:54 someone's hand comes up and throws the money. Love it! This music video and song are both awesome.
FF + Sam Rockwell = Perfection!
Awesome video for a great song on a fantastic album!
Sam Rockwell is straight up multi talented... #1stsawhimdanceIMII
This song needs to be way longer.. id love to hear an extended version
With an extended video with Sam too... Obvs.
I'm crying .. we've all been there, tired as heck, sore as hell, ignored, and souless and empty. Then for a moment ...
Dreams and hopes, seriously folks, we've all been there. And then we wake up. "Thanks" he said.
This is great. The song is awesome and I LOOOVE Sam Rockwell!
My wife and I are big Sam Rockwell fans.. and I just discovered this.. now? WTH! Showin her this tomorrow. 😂❤

In another world Sam Rockwell is a martial arts master
This music video is just too good, gotta love Sam Rockwell.
Dear God I love that man too much😭❤️
I fell in love with him in Galaxy Quest, and forever more! Amazing talent! He dances in nearly every movie he's in! Think Iron man 2!❤😅😊
