Loved ya gig at Adelaide Fringe Saturday. My mate got me a ticket second row as my Xmas present. I ran a Kung Fu fitness session tonight to your 'Working Out'.
You’re the man Donny!🎸🎷🎼
This song is really catchy!!!!
Thanks Donny!
@@HYPOMANNUGGETSILLYMAN is
I took my girl to see Donny Benét live.
I came back alone.
💀
hah! I know that's a joke even tho I'm Borderline Autistic !!
The person playing the saxophone is on fire
Just warning
Literally
See what he did there.
No shit!
😂
Just found this guy but he is clearly a genius, the commitment is incredible.
Nice picture
same here....but, I totally GREW UP with this type of sounds.
loving it.
What do you mean commitment? That's just Donny B 😂
This and Riff Raff is the start of skibidy rizz culture.
First day watching: "Huh, funny bald man.", second day watching: "Koniiichiwaaaa....................."
pretty sure i did a few missions with this guy in GTA Vice City...
oh yes !
I thought so too.. ha ha ha
Hahahaaaa me to 🤣
That was my first thought!
I know him as Mr. Pearson from RDR
That bass groove is just savage.
His bass player is amazing. Idk who it is (I'm being lazy) but man they really groove like crazy
@@Dr.ZoidbergPhD It's him. It's Donny.
Are we still listening to this masterpiece?
For sure. Don Don always
I never stopped.
Yes, I need my regular dose of suave Donny music.
Yup
I played this song at a family reunion last week. It's been confirmed that every single person who attended is now 9 months pregnant.
Even the guys ? Holy shit, that's Donny's magic indeed.
😂😂😂😂😂
I hope there weren’t any kids there!
Sounds like you living in West Virginia or Alabama if people getting pregnant at your family reunion.
Are you trying to start an army made of your children? Great job 👍🏽
Let´s make this guy famous. He´s the hero the world deserves.
Well said.
Yes!
He is famous. Just because he isn't Michael Jackson famous doesn't mean he is underground.
согласен
you're late to the party. he's been around since 2011
Having every 80’s cliche balled into one man is actually one of the most original and fresh ideas i have seen in YEARS.
Konichiwa right back to ya, Donny!
Do you know what synthwave is?
@@theothertonydutch Donny Benet is definitely not synthwave. 70s/80s or disco influenced does not mean Synthwave.
Bald*
😂 this is true
@@tylerjohnfrederickok TYLER
A crowd of Donny with a fiery saxophonist in a paper room. Of course. Konichiwa, baby.
If David Lynch didn't direct this then he needs to take notes. Absolute masterpiece.
“LeT’s RoCk!” 🔳🔲🟥
I was about to say: Twin Peaks meet Miami Vice in Grand Theft Auto.
I like to read the comments before watching sometimes. Man were you SPOT ON😂. I also felt the Miami Vice GTA vibe as well.
Gives me michel gondry music video vibes too
I discovered this man last weekend. He opened for Mac Demarco. The crowd went NUTS.
scotty smith OMG serious?! That must have been mental! I’ve been praying to see Donny, Mac & Connan Mockasin all in the same gig. Now THAT would be mental
You're so lucky! I want to see Donny Benet and Mac Demarco. OMG!
I saw Donny in Chicago this weekend and when he mentioned he had played with Mac DeMarco in 2019 I was like... Damn, what a show I missed
Mac should be opening for him. What is a Mac Demarco anyway? Some kind of septic system brush or something?
@@Al_Gore_Rhythmn lol
When he said “Konichiwa, let’s make love”
I felt that
I didn't but luckily there were Dutch subs
It made me wanna do situps and push-ups until I became totally swole
We say it to each other, then we make sweet love in the dojo while this song is playing. Then we have green tea and say Konichewa once again.
Little did I know I had been waiting for a man to say that to me my whole life 😂
Let's
I am so depressed. When I am close to giving up Donny gets me through it.
Originally I thought this was a 80s one hit Australian wonder, but today I found out Donny was born in 1981 and his style of music is 80s style beat the meat music
Looks like he's born in 61 😂 poor dude must have started balding at 15. He certainly seems old enough to have been a teenager/young adult in the 80s.
Balls of steel to be only 36 in 2017 and make no effort to look young, and embrace the middle aged bozo ring
@@xennial80sxberner Benét owning it is what makes him sexy.
@@SarahTheMiddleEarthling exactly. He knows what he looks like. It is a genuine comfortable confidence he has that allows him to pull it off suavely.
Damn it man take it easy, leave some girls for the rest of us
But are there enough Donnys for the rest of us?
Good point Keith
Lol
@@keithklassen5320 Asking the real questions
36 year old men looked like that in the 80s, not in 2017. So he's even a throwback in that regard
This bass line made me reconsider my whole life.
Just saw him live in Stockholm, we went there with the psychosis group. Im so proud of havin a selfie with this legend
You had me at flaming saxophonist
The single greatest comment on TH-cam ever. Love it!
Yep
Sold.
playing the lick, no less
This is the future of music.
clicked for funny dude. Stayed cos of a mad bass line!
The Dutch subtitles are amazingly accurate for obscure 1980s tv footage recorded on VHS. I find it rare that someone captures the feel so well. Masterpiece!
But why Dutch (I am Dutch) but i don't get the link.
@@oomkoen I believe it might have something to do with Phillips, a dutch brand of dvd and VCR players that was on top of the market
@@SSjago Hmm, could be. Subtitles are standard in the Netherlands for other languages, we don't use a voice over like Germany or France. But also can't imagine subtitles are not unique in the Netherlands.
@Donny Benét, what's the link, tell us. :)
@@oomkoen Im Dutch too. And surprisingly I found a lot of old VCR footage on TH-cam has dutch subs. Even if the uploader isn't Dutch. It implies more videos almost lost to time can be recovered from Dutch editions of VCR tapes. Maybe the Dutch just hold on to old shit longer. Not sure.
It is for make good us love this musics! Also good day my love…gezellig! 😂
Director: How many Donnys you want
Donny: yes
*How many Donnies do you want inside of you?
Japanese Women: Yes
changed my life
Matt Watson thanks for recommending this song Matt
Thanks dude. It's now on my road trip playlist.
thank u !!!!!!!!!!
read dead 3
Hey hows banana
I was trying to google how to spell Konichiwa and found this absolute gem
welcome aboard
Don't feed the Donnys after midnight...
I wish I was balding now. To have so much confidence, and such a lack of fucks. Inspiring.
The bald head is a crown of wisdom.
No you don't, like you could shave your head whenever you want and you have the option for it to come back if you wish, we don't have that option, you don't want to be going bald.
@@Suitswonderland my guess is that @MrMcswiggens is already bald and would want to be balding now instead of the past because after seeing this he wouldn't feel as bad about it now as when he was actually loosing his hair
@@MrTsiolkovsky then call me Sigmund Freud
i'll tell you, since i discovered donny, i'm less self conscious about my balding, and it's only on the top back of my head, no receding hairline. the man is a sex god.
I was in the 'Nam with Donny back in '68. He saved my ass a good couple of times. Glad he made it home.
Is this a meme of some kind I am not catching up on?
They're all wearing shoes inside the house, I'm starting to suspect they're not actually Japanese or in Japan...🤔
Seriously, as a drummer, your bass lines are like heaven.
his pocket is so damned tight. glad i discovered him recently, while on lsd, lol
Bro you realize that the drums are a drumcomputer right?
@@miketerbrake7358he’s talking about bass.
That saxophonist really is on fire - amazing track
I can't even begin to comprehend the camera work. Amazing.
How did he do this?
Motion Control Camera. The camera movements ae computer controlled so they can repeat the exact same scene with different characters placement.
When he overlaps himself, they had to cut him out by masking him, right?
@@hhhh8766009 yep but nothing more easier, you can do that in after effects (or even in Premiere if you're into BDSM).
@@hhhh8766009 As long as every shot is done the same way within every millimeters and tenth of seconds. Hence the computer controlled camera tracking. But it's only my guess, maybe they used another technique.
My life sucks for not finding about Donny sooner...
Donny looks like a 80s style creepy dad build look serial killer, but has a killer beat as far as his music style is concerned
Don’t get him wet. He multiplies,
Don't feed him after midnight.
He seems to enjoy bright lights though.
I'd keep him as a pet.
Give him wine by the pool or beach as long as I can pet him.
It's a one man sausage party. That's impressive
this cured my baldness. thanks donny.
this enhanced my baldness. thanks donny.
He carries the baldness of the world on his head and his shoulders. From your brow to his.
like Danny Devito
Creeper Donny in the background at 3:35 is so fire.
How’d they find so many actors that look just like Donny?
No one has done anything better than this, ever.
Tim Morrissey Kylie Minogue tho...
Nope.
Tatsuro Yamashita created this sound
Huey luis too black sounding for you? 😅
That bassline!! What a beautiful production Donny
Right man
At times reminiscent of "Love TKO" by Teddy Pendergrass
@@hustlehustlehustle It's from Ain't No Stopping Us Now by McFadden & Whitehead, check it out.
@@fulosophy724 cool. Thanks!
@@fulosophy724 ah yeah, I know that track. Nice.
It kills me everytime he *appears* on the door, like some godly entity that he truly is
The wildestly funky new 80s future modern style song (& video) ever.
Go Donny !
when I grow up I wanna be like Donny
Don't we all?
or Kenny Powers
Take me back to 1980’s Miami please
Miami Vice vibe. Let's go back to the 80s
i checked the actress's Instagram page, and this appears to be the most clothes she's ever worn!
Why this guy is so underrated? He's fuck*ng awesome
Pd: Thanks Spotify
Even this much Donny isn't enough
This groove is more infectious than covid-19
Fucking groove genious. What a bass player he is!
More infectious than that "champagne"! :)
🤣
I think most people would rather get covid-19 than listen to this crap.
Director : How much 1980´s aesthetics do you want in the video ?
Donny : Yes
the Ron Jeremy of music
Yes!!!!!
The Jeremy of music, Ron.
The music of Ron Jeremy.
Nah. This guy actually has talent.
@@zdrumrguy You mean tricking women into thinking your the pizza guy isn't a talent? get out of here.
That saxophonist is on fire!
Yup...that's one hot solo....
XD
I’ve read first the commentary and now I’m dead
Yeah, we all saw
the lic at 3:13
It's taking the piss, but at the same time it isn't. It seems to be motivated by genuine affection for this type of music, but knowing that you can't get away with playing it straight.
The music of tomorrow today 🎉🎉
Im obsessed with that womans facial expressions
I call this genre of music “vapor sleaze.”
AnonUser well if you find other gems like these please make a list so we all can enjoyy :))
Trevor someting analog soul
Mikey4rmthablock yaboi , loooll , i guess it was some kind of joke 😂
me too
😁😂
I’m not exactly sure how the feed got me here, but I’m so glad it did.
This makes me even more proud to be Australian 🇦🇺 This is pure perfection 😀
You Australian cool cats know how to pump out some tasty licks. Donny Benet, PNAU, Empire of the Sun, Gotye, Men at Work. Also Conan Mockasin from neighboring NZ. Seriously lots of musical talent in the land down under! Praise
He even owns a classic Holden Statesman! Absolute legend!
This makes ME proud to be Australian, and I'm American!
Had the absolute pleasure of witnessing this incredibly precious man live last night. The show was amazing. And he made time to meet everyone there afterwards, sign merch and take photos. Yes, his music is brilliant and funny as hell but he is SO GENUINE. Fan for life.. You can't help but Love the Don!
I would love to meet him. I' d buy him a beer or fine adult beverage of choice and express my utmost appreciation of his work.
Music is pure fire nothing funny about it no disrespect
Found Donny just a few days back and I can't get enough of this dude´s music. I feel bad for missing so many years of such an amazing artist.
I’m tapping my lumpfoot & soaring back through the 80s via my metaphysical playground
damn this is some low key FIRE.
All joking aside the caliber of editing is on another level. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I no longer see the world in the same way after hearing this song. Where have you been all my life, Donny?
It's fucken therapeutic. 😂
The 80’s called they said they wish you were here.
feel like an angel kissed my ears and eyes.. Donny, a breathtaking miracle you gave here..
Real music! Better than 99% of the songs on the radio today! 💯 📻❤️😎
I watch this once a week. Donny is a genius
This just came outta absolute nowhere and I'm pregnant now. Thanks.
Konichiwa, Come to Mexico, i will pay to see your performance.
His whispering is just as hot as his bass playing. I'm sweating.
I had only been listening to Donny for a few months when I heard this song on at a supermarket in Paris! Such a cool moment when you hear one of your favourite and lesser known artists presented to a more mainstream audience!
Paris has the best supermarkets in the world I reckon.
I can definitely imagine this playing as I grab a baguette and some Comté down at the Carrefour and feeling like I was ascending to heaven
@@Dr.Quarex For sure! He's actually playing in Paris next month!
Did everyone in the market start trying to stab their eardrums out with sharp objects.?
Okay. Disco, fusion, city pop, s o u l. Let's jam.
Bro i just discovered your music maybe a week ago, and i gotta say that i not only love your level of musicality, but the CONFIDENCE you have in having fun doing what YOU want to do, is so inspiring!
Found this guy today absolutely love him his confidence reminds me of the doc.
It’s called Donfidence.
this bass line makes me happier
Shout out to the Donny clones who were created to make this video, and whose lives no longer mean anything or have any purpose now that this video has been completed. They're the real heroes.
I was waiting for the part of the music video that shows him cruising around in his super rad white in color 1988 Pontiac Fiero T top.
I found this on Reddit. The genre was tagged "Erotic Easy Listening"
zeltparker I lol’d
😂
Thank you, now I know what to play at the Christmas party this year!
OMG!! 😂💕
what a matching phrase for such a precious mood
Donny Benet loves the 1980s, & the 1980s loves him too!
So do we in this time!!!
Donny, very smooth, sounds like you had lots of French 90s producers for breakfast - santé & chin chin
Outside there's car with two dozen Donnys crammed inside in a clown car situation, but it's a classic DeLorean.
Daaaamn that sax solo was on Fire!
iconic
Not enough Donnies... Need more in the video 🤣🤣🤣 Love the music!!
Glad to see Pearson cooked up a super smooth stew
omg can this get anymore my aesthetic lmao
possibly best video ive ever seen
The Sax player is on Fire 🔥!
No
Literally
The Sax player is on Fire 🔥!
you always save my day donny. thank you
Damn I’m late to the party but I just found out about this song and I love it. Great video too.
This brought me back to my favorite decade. Time travel exists.
Back to listen to this masterpiece by Benét
Donny and Cameron from Ginger Root need to collab. It would be pretty epic.
This would have been on heavy rotation in the 80's on MTV
man youtube algorithm finally made a good choice!
There can never be too many Donnys in one video
This is the best song and the best video
WOW! This made my day. Impressive postprod qualities. And what a bassline! Thank you for this gem.
