About 15 yrs ago, I worked for a sound and lighting company. Morris Day and the Time we're the headline act at a festival we were contracted to work. During this song, there is video of EVERYONE in our crew doing the dance just offstage. He caught us doing it, and even pointed it out to the crowd. What made it even more fun was that we were mostly southern-rock type guys. But we all knew the dance.
I went to his concert in las Vegas at the golden nugget a long time ago. He was smooth, Sharp and he let me on stage with him and the band. He really is a nice guy. I love the time.❤️⭐⭐⭐
@@penelopedinkledongs7178 😆 okay yeah. Is it true that Prince made the original version of this song before The Time did it? I heard Prince version it was pretty cool.

Did you see the "Grammy Salute to Prince" the other night? 'Ol Jerome broke out the mirror & everything right before they started dancing during JL. #ItWasEpic !!! Neither one had lost a step! 🕺🏾🕺🏿
15 bucks little man, Put that s*** in my hand, If that money doesn’t show Then you owe me owe owe My jungle love! Yeah, O-e-o-e-o I think I wanna know ya know ya, Yeah what
Morris wasn't given enough credit for his talent , skill and creativity. Not only did he have a show built around his music, but he danced along with the crowd , singing while coordinating the whole thing. Princes nemesis like the Joker to the BATMAN.
As someone who was there back then, I’m here to tell you that back in the summer of ‘84, this song & Morris Day and the Time were bigger than Prince, associations notwithstanding. This song was everything. And everywhere. You couldn’t escape it. Played in the supermarket, it’s played in the shoe store, gas station, 7-11, and the carwash. EVERYWHERE. And thanks to that Minneapolis sound, it still sounds brand new, here in the summer of 2021.
As someone who was 4 in 84 and snuck into all my older cousins parties,it was NOT bigger than Prince. It got as much play,but it was NOT bigger than the Purple One.
Minneapolis sound is very very under-rated when people think of the 80's. R&B, Funk, Pop, Modern Rock with Prince, The Time, The Jets, & The Replacements. That sound is in their music. When Minneapolus was cool.
Bruno Mars should thank this man. Don't twist it Bruno is poppin.. But lets call truth, he's rockin Morris Day and the Time whole style. THE ENTIRE STYLE
The 80s was such a great period. I was 7 when this song was released and this reminds me of my old block on the South Side of Chicago (near 67th and Halsted) where everybody looked out for each other. The world was different back then. Much happier period.
I was 18 and from NW burbs of Chicago. Going to clubs was my thing and we all danced. No hatred towards each other just love of music and dance and living in harmony with each other. Wtf happened to our society? I blame technology, music of the 2000’s to now(nobody dances anymore) and all politicians. 70,80,90’s greatest times!
And remember, about the same time we also got singers like SADE on the other side of the music spectrum. th-cam.com/video/_oVI0GW-Xd4/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Man, you aint lyin --- my older sister used to hit all the best dance clubs in Chicago in the 80's --- such a fun time to be a young person and partying in the big city
My roomie in college and I would hit the local club at night. When this song came on everyone was up on the dance floor. There were even certain moves for parts of the song and it was wild how in sync we would all be. Lost touch over the years with my roomie, Kim, but those nights hanging out with her at the club will always be some of the fondest and best memories in my life. ❤
Well, the comments were pretty awesome till I came to your ignorant words of crap. Referencing God as a her? I sincerely hope you rot in hell and have total misery till you get there.
Prince wrote all of the Time's music...Well, at least 90% of it. And he indeed wrote/co-wrote all their biggest hits: Jungle Love, Cool, Get It Up, The Bird, The Walk, Jerk Out, 777-9311.....
I remember watching them do the slide across the stage the first time I saw this film and thinking that it was the coolest shit ever! Come to think of it...it still might be!

This was one of the many jams from the 80s that got you off your seat and ran to the dance floor. I was in Camp Lejeune and went to the Wind Jammer club. Those days were nothing but fun at the Eclub.
I was a radio announcer in the 80s, and Prince had just come out with Purple Rain when I started working at my first radio station. Every time I hear this I'm back in that control room. I see it full force in my mind!
Morris Day was the beginning of swag. Don't step on my Stacy Adams...Smoking jackets and hair do's and he hasn't changed. Saw him in Atlanta several weeks ago still still styling, still requesting the mirror. What's amazing is that at 58 he still does that caliber dancing the entire 48 minute concert. In the movie he was trying to finesse a girl he said..I got a brass waaatah (water) bed and an Italian cook Jerome Sescagawatccie. Lol '
Prince also aka "Alexander Nevermind" on the song "Sugar Walls" had his hand in everything....Here's a song you'll like..."Rockstar"(jason nevins remix) by NERD....Give it a listen!
ML Anderson I experienced The Time, it was the 1999 tour back in 83' San Diego, CA The Most amazing concert, total magic. I must admit, my father was the one who taught me how to talk to women, but Morris Day showed how to walk in a room...

Hello Stevie Kay! I agree. PRINCE was, is and will always be the best. No further discussion us needed. On planet Earth between 1979 and 2016 no one else worked more, harder and better than THE PURPLE ONE. The Purple Love Assistant
I met Vanity, or I should say, I stood in front of her with my mouth hanging open like a mongoloid while everyone else met her. I actually could not speak in front of her. The most beautiful woman to walk the planet. Perfection.
"Jungle Love" cut in late March 1983 Morris Day provided lead vocals and Johnson played guitar on the recording, whilst Prince played all the other instruments
i'm a punk and metal lover but come'on funk and 80s pop is just too irresitable! love prince love morris day love the time! Got some prince records in my collection!
+Tristan Hall I'm with you my fellow headbanger! I'm a classic and modern hard rock/heavy metal and old school punk guy primarily but if you're like me you have to listen to other music forms from time to time and enjoy the good. I find it preserves my sanity and it makes it way easier to socialize at given places with the rock/punk/metal haters out there. Bring up a conversion about Danzig or Avenged Sevenfold around those people and there's like who?
Morris just had the kind of pizazz, swag and deeply rooted funk in his act one just couldn't fake. Either you have it or you don't. Morris definitely had a ton of it back then. He even pulled it off and made behaving like a total fool look absolutely cool. Naturally, it's an act, a persona, but there's a lot of real Morris in there too.

I still remember when I was a little kid and heard this and "The Bird" first come out on MTV. Even though Thriller was the new rage then (and I loved that album too), those two Morris songs were the ones that just made me stop and think "oh my god, this is the best stuff I've ever heard"
Morris Day was the main man in the ' Purple Rain' movie . This song along with 'The Bird' were definitely the outstanding tracks in the film & should of all appeared on the soundtrack.
For a minute there, Minneapolis became the unlikely center of the pop music universe back in the early and mid-80s...kind of like how Bristol (England) became an unlikely center of the electronic-house music scene in the 90s. That distinctive Minneapolis "sound" - driven by the likes of Prince, Morris Day (and the Tyme), Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (also of the Tyme), Alexander O'Neil, and so on - dominated pop music in those days. They set the music world on fire operating from that frozen tundra. Who would ever have imagined! Minneapolis!
march 2024 i was around when this song first came out...... and thruout the years i found myself just randomly sing o e o e o..and their dance moves .. but i couldnt remember anything else about the song who did it etc,,, recently it was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly driving me crazy and i tried everything to find the song only knowing o e o e o.. so i posted on facebook and people were suggesting tons of diff song and one person suggested ths song ..... and BAM this is it... how she could tell just from my o e o e o amazes me...... and now im sane again ... still a great song
The writer of Purple Rain definitely got us a great introduction to our antagonist. We can't help but see him be so charming and just a well rounded character.
It’s impossible to sit still listening to this!
I was moving the whole time on my couch 😂
Look how they dress and act. Now look at what's out there. No comparison.
Still catchy 40 yrs later!
I Am Currently 40 Years Old. I Was Born The Same Year This Song Came Out. The Same Year The Movie Purple Rain Released. July 1984.
Dec of 1983. Love this song!!!
see the reference to them in Clerks (or some Kevin Smith movie)

Shows music is universal
Man I'd love to have been there, lol. That's like a Hollywood movie moment you think seems too good to be true. 😂
That's cute! ❤
It's all about art. The music, the dance, and the vision go right past any racial concern. If you can't dance to this you must be dead.
Still One of my favorite Songs from the Past.
Same here.
Bad ass song 💯🔥❤️
@@annaliseworley5774 Yes, it is.
Morris Day's performance in "Purple Rain" was every good as Prince's. A talented performer with a gift of Comic Relief.
Morris Day was excellent in "Purple Rain"!
i love the bit where his buddy brings the mirror onstage so he can check himself out!
Thanks, Jay and Silent Bob. Best songs and best people
Go see him in concert today. The man doesn’t age, and honors Prince beautifully during his show. What a killer, tight band!!!
I went to his concert in las Vegas at the golden nugget a long time ago. He was smooth, Sharp and he let me on stage with him and the band. He really is a nice guy. I love the time.❤️⭐⭐⭐
Love the Time❤️
Going to see him for the 30th time on May 27
Oh We Oh We Oh !!!!!
I just bought my ticket to see him this month in LA 🙌
I saw him twice and even got on stage with him! My stupid friend messed up recording it 😢. I am still pissed to this day!
Almost 40 years later, this song STILL rocks. Such a great vibe.
And the younger generation doesn't even know who this group is who Morris Day is, sad
are there more 80s songs similar to this out there?
@@16-BitGuy there is Prince, they used to compare each other, to each other, back in the day. Healthy competition against each other
@@16-BitGuy other comparable bands from back then, Vanity 6, and of course Janet Jackson. And her brother Michael Jackson as well
@@16-BitGuy I have heard Tone Loc is good, but all I know of his is, "Funky Cold Medina" , and its a great song
I bet people were tearing the dance floors up in the early 80's when this song came on.
I'm from Mpls and yes, we were...
But it was Prince's tracks that really got people going. He was ours, and we adored him ♡

Crazy but most of this song was recorded solo by Prince on the album. He just added Morris’ vocals.
They had their one hit. Greatest band? Hardly.
LONG before "Uptown Funk", there was this O.G. classic.
My thoughts exactly! ❤

Morris wasn't given enough credit for his talent , skill and creativity. Not only did he have a show built around his music, but he danced along with the crowd , singing while coordinating the whole thing. Princes nemesis like the Joker to the BATMAN.
As someone who was there back then, I’m here to tell you that back in the summer of ‘84, this song & Morris Day and the Time were bigger than Prince, associations notwithstanding.

And thanks to that Minneapolis sound, it still sounds brand new, here in the summer of 2021.
I so miss the days of Minneapolis sound. It was just also cool and fun funky with The Rock just a great combination
As someone who was 4 in 84 and snuck into all my older cousins parties,it was NOT bigger than Prince. It got as much play,but it was NOT bigger than the Purple One.

Minneapolis sound is very very under-rated when people think of the 80's. R&B, Funk, Pop, Modern Rock with Prince, The Time, The Jets, & The Replacements. That sound is in their music. When Minneapolus was cool.
Bruno Mars should thank this man. Don't twist it Bruno is poppin.. But lets call truth, he's rockin Morris Day and the Time whole style. THE ENTIRE STYLE
Oh..so it was not just me??
Uptown funk steals so much from this song. Listen to it and sing the chorus of Jungle Love. It's a perfect fit.
FACTS
And Morris Day should thank Prince for writing the song.
So true!
This man is 66 years old today in 2022. Still as fine as ever. Looking 30. Miss u, and your music, Morris.
They were the first group on the planet!🔥🔥
The 80s was such a great period. I was 7 when this song was released and this reminds me of my old block on the South Side of Chicago (near 67th and Halsted) where everybody looked out for each other. The world was different back then. Much happier period.
I’m close to you in age. I feel the same way about our generation bro. It was a different world. The 80’s was the shyt!
I was 18 and from NW burbs of Chicago. Going to clubs was my thing and we all danced. No hatred towards each other just love of music and dance and living in harmony with each other.

& THEY-WONDER WERE- Get It from! -THINGS- THAT MAKES U-GO-HUM
This is real music! My mom would always play this jam around me growing up. Loved it since!

When he comes out with that mirror.....iconic moment
Thats what im talkin bout...the mirror!!! Shiiiiit
He's starting with the man in the mirror.
Is that the mirror Jimmy Fallon gave Questlove for his birthday? What an awesome gift!
The hand slaps...smoooothe!

Man those were fun times
Love when they slide across the floor. Frickin' awesome.

Привет из России!)
Motherfucking TIME
This shit is the MAD NOTES
Thats why im here lol
I remember watching this movie in West Texas. Everyone jumping up and dancing in the aisles....good times 😊
I busted a heel off a pair of pumps busting it to this back in the day. Kept right on too
Those were the days lol 😆
YEEESSS. I too broke a couple of heels off my shoes also lol. Stomp dancing to Funkiness will do it fo sho. Ha ha yeah!
P.A. C we would have wrecked the place 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💖
😂😂😂

A little Morris Day .......Bruno Mars???? Love it!
No comparison….Morris Day & The Time are original and generational talent. Mars is pasteurized at best.
That dance and slide to the side is just too frickin' awesome!!
THIS TOTALLY FUNKED ME UP!!!
Despite this COVID`19 who's still listening to this amazing SONG!!!
Me
The pure funk though!
👍👍
I damn sure am still listening to this.
Absolutely.
i'm a punk and metal lover but come'on funk and 80s pop is just too irresitable! love prince love morris day love the time!
Got some prince records in my collection!
+Tristan Hall I'm with you my fellow headbanger! I'm a classic and modern hard rock/heavy metal and old school punk guy primarily but if you're like me you have to listen to other music forms from time to time and enjoy the good. I find it preserves my sanity and it makes it way easier to socialize at given places with the rock/punk/metal haters out there. Bring up a conversion about Danzig or Avenged Sevenfold around those people and there's like who?
Who??? LOL :-)
Was so funky Jay & Silent Bob had to pay tribute in their movie
Thanks Prince for the wonderful music...
😘
Love those black and white Dayton Stacy adams Morris is wearing!!
Morris just had the kind of pizazz, swag and deeply rooted funk in his act one just couldn't fake.
Either you have it or you don't. Morris definitely had a ton of it back then.
He even pulled it off and made behaving like a total fool look absolutely cool.
Naturally, it's an act, a persona, but there's a lot of real Morris in there too.
Absolutely ❤️
Yeah, he could ve been a pimp or a true player . For reals. Lol
persona IS considered the real person.

Just go and FµCK 0FF you undereducated person:
------------------------
persona
/pəˈsəʊnə/
noun:
- the aspect of someone's character that is presented to or perceived by others.
"her public persona has been sold to millions of women as the ideal"
- a role or character adopted by an author, actor, etc. or in a game.
"Bowie burned through one persona after another"
Psychoanalysis
- (in Jungian psychology) the outer or assumed aspect of character.
"persona and anima switch roles and merge in slow, smooth ways"
------------------------
And the next time before you decide to let everyone know that you're an undereducated fool, well, maybe you'd consider taking the 5 to 30 seconds time it takes to check if your right or not.
We're living in the age of the "INFORMATION-HIGHWAY" and "INTERWEB" were you can find out almost any sort of KNOWLEDGE within a few seconds or minutes and at most a few hours time if it's specialized information.
Heard this at the gym the other day. It was awesome.
I still remember when I was a little kid and heard this and "The Bird" first come out on MTV. Even though Thriller was the new rage then (and I loved that album too), those two Morris songs were the ones that just made me stop and think "oh my god, this is the best stuff I've ever heard"
This song is truly sick on a whole other level. Love it!
This reminds me of going skating in the 80s ❤️
Morris Day was the main man in the ' Purple Rain' movie . This song along with 'The Bird' were definitely the outstanding tracks in the film & should of all appeared on the soundtrack.
Never heard this before and now I can't stop playing it, love it
And how old are you??
@@theresmore2learn516 Great question
From an old movie Prince did.
Oh we all deeply sincerely apologize you missed the 80s and 90s
Watch the Movie - Purple Rain 👍
For a minute there, Minneapolis became the unlikely center of the pop music universe back in the early and mid-80s...kind of like how Bristol (England) became an unlikely center of the electronic-house music scene in the 90s. That distinctive Minneapolis "sound" - driven by the likes of Prince, Morris Day (and the Tyme), Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (also of the Tyme), Alexander O'Neil, and so on - dominated pop music in those days. They set the music world on fire operating from that frozen tundra. Who would ever have imagined! Minneapolis!
I totally agree it I wish it lasted longer I enjoyed all the Minneapolis sound
Make no mistake the scene was popping, so many good times.
Minneapolis Sound dominated the pop and funk world of the mid-80's --- dont forget Sheila E was part of it, too!
I live in Minneapolis dude. Not a frozen tundra all year ;-)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
march 2024 i was around when this song first came out...... and thruout the years i found myself just randomly sing o e o e o..and their dance moves .. but i couldnt remember anything else about the song who did it etc,,, recently it was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly driving me crazy and i tried everything to find the song only knowing o e o e o.. so i posted on facebook and people were suggesting tons of diff song and one person suggested ths song ..... and BAM this is it... how she could tell just from my o e o e o amazes me...... and now im sane again ... still a great song
35 years later and it sounds like it was released yesterday. And yet krap that was released yesterday is already forgotten.
TheJellymonty U R perfectly correct on that.
True dat can't stand what's on the radio now bring back the classics
You are forever exactly right
The new stuff on the radio is garbage I'm 35 going on 36 and I understand good music
@@michaeldominguez1762 Most new pop "music" is mushmouthed gibberish that you can't even understand.
God....I miss 80's funk SOOOOOO much....this is one of my jams!!!
i swear. she had the sexiest titties.
Love this song. Who can stay off the dance floor when it plays, even years later, in 2024, such a fun dance song! 😂
The writer of Purple Rain definitely got us a great introduction to our antagonist. We can't help but see him be so charming and just a well rounded character.
