Hey everyone! His daughter again, after discussing with my Dad (3-D) I'm actually going to do a Q&A with him so if anyone has any questions please comment below!! I'll be seeing him mid September. (I also mentioned to him that I think he needs to limber up and try to reattempt this dance lol) Please let me know what you want to know about my dad!!
Hey everyone, his oldest daughter here! Just wanted to comment and let anyone watching his video in good ol 2021 that he is doing great, living in Southern California and even tho he's getting close to 60 he can still bust moves like no one's business! Thanks to everyone who said kind words, I like to update him on comments, especially the hilarious ones.
Ive watched This video at least once a week for years... I am absolutely amazed every time and I will never get sick of it.... This ranks right up there with one of my all time favourites
That's amazing I wish the qauilty of the video was better to show off how good that really was... amazing though I just wish it was the whole song it was amazing..... dad's an ace dancer
Im watching 2023😂 never seen this video before. I heard the song when it got released and felt it was a weird hit. But now i understand why it was so popular
@@chadwik4000I don't think he's jewish. Jews are underrepresented in the military by an order of magnatude. What's your nonsense about the background?
I am now 63 years old. I remember watching this on TV and was blown away. At that time, we had never seen anything like this. His costume, makeup and body movements mesmerized us all. Still love watching it to this day. Great job, Doug!
He poured more emotion into the song than the actual video! He gave a stellar performance and a glimpse into the violence an actual combat soldier would have gone through but not as graphic! One could only imagine!
I remember Vietnam Vets getting so overwhelmed after seeing his performance, thanking him for putting a human touch to such a hard subject. Everyone who saw him perform live back in the day was in awe! Knowing him as a friend was even better! BTW Doug, this is Andi ...
Someone left this link in a comment (in 2014) on a Steam Guide I made for DayZ. Just now went through the comments and clicked on it. Not disappointed. This brings back memories lol
Holy shit! I've seen this performance twice in my life. First was when it aired, second was just now. Drove me crazy trying to remember where I heard that song.
I remember this as i was a teenager at the time!! My mom and I used to watch POTH every Saturday night. 3-Ds choreography is absolutely perfect and what a fantastic idea to present this song with the makeup, fatigues, and the robotic movements. Brilliant!!! Thanks for this fantastic stroll down memory lane and yes I have rewatched this a couple hundred times and smile during each replay!!
I was a Fan of this show and even was a $25,000 Grand Finalist (Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You). This is one of The Greatest Acts to EVER appear on POTH. Just FANTASTIC!
@@MillennialWeirdo I remember talking about this show with a friend in high school and we thought the idea of a lip syncing competition show was a little silly, but this was so much more than just lip syncing that it "justified the whole series".
@@Robostate he really was just wanting people to open their eyes to what the song was about and he was so happy to get a perfect score and he actually had Vets thanking him for his performance. I honestly wish I was alive to see it happen, sadly I only get the stories he tells me
@@MillennialWeirdo How about talking him into doing this skit again now at age 60, and create a new video with both the then and now versions. It would be epic!
Every so often over the years, I remember this and come back to watch it again. I'm just as impressed today as I was watching it for the first time on TV. Legendary performance!
1:07 "none of them received a hero's welcome". This could explain it, look up the 1972 documentary Winter Soldier. It describes the atrocities that soldiers personally committed or witnessed towards the people of Vietnam.
I remember hearing this song on the radio. It's great that your dad brought it to life onstage. Especially the Post traumatic stress disorder some vets have suffered with for years. He made it so real. Thanx for sharing this video.😊
I love his response at the end " I'll buy a house or a car..." Back in '85 you probably COULD buy a house for $25,000. You certainly could afford a car for less than that!
This was so awesome! I remember watching this act on TV. It was (and still is!) truly jaw-dropping. So well done and on a sensitive subject. On so many levels, just a great performance.
Took me right back ! What a totally cool dude , lovely guy and exceptionally talented !!! I'm 50 just gone and can remember playing this back over and over back in the day , the video of 3D not paul hardcastle! Hope you and your family are well my friend stay frosty marine ha ! All the best Steve Sunderland u.k. 🇬🇧 🇺🇲 👍
Yes, Doug... I remember freaking out in front of the TV and clapping with the audience -- I loved the song as a young girl and just remember being so happy for you! I hope you are doing well and you are still pop-lockin' it somewhere in the world!
Thanks! Soooo many years later, it is so nice to see your comments. I am doing well, but not on stage, to my disappointment. But, still doing well. My hope is that my performance told some kind of story that emphasizes that war is something we need to avoid!!
Superb!!!! I never forgot this performance. I saw the actual performance on TV back in the day. I looked for it briefly several years back. So happy I never forgot it. I may revisit it every month now. Thank you for sharing!
I was reminded of this performance by the 1980s Heardle--I didn't know this song from anywhere else, but I still have solid memories of 3D from "Puttin' on the Hits" and this excellent piece. Nearly 40 years later and still lodged in my brain--good job!
Wow, you are simply awesome, I saw you in its original time, & now I still watch it& it makes me happy!! I hope you are having a terrific life! I will never forget ya🥳👱♀️
I remember watching this guy when I was a kid, He scared the shit out of me! He was mesmerizing. As an adult watching him again, he scares me even more, because the words to this song is true and still on going. 19.
Cherie McFadden Watch at end. He pulls outta robot mode and totally relaxes, and out of breath. It’s probably the dark make up that he was wearing that creeped you out.
Thanks! My daughter just reminded me of what I did all those years ago. I am almost glad that it scared you. War is is HELL. They went through it. Let’s hope we don’t have to anymore!
I am in U.K listened to this record in 80s and played this at disco's and watched people trying their best to do robotics to this and many other tracks..I came across this on youtube 3years ago and keep watching this it makes me smile .This is great.His moves are the best.
Your Dad did awesome. I was in the military and would listen to the soldiers tell me about their stories about Vietnam. Years later one of their stories probably saved my life. I was informed to always stay in the tracks of the vehicle in front of me.
Some of the best moves synced with music I've ever seen. There should be a documentary where he talks about how he prepared for this, if he was nervous, what was it like after the fact.💖💖💖
Holy shit, where does the time go? Austriankitten, your dad and I used to compete against each other back in the day. I read your comment and thought "He's not old enough to have a kid", then I remembered him showing me baby pictures of you! That was almost 20 years ago. Where does the time go.....
Hey Chris!! (New youtube, forever lost my password to that old account lol) my dad is actually coming up to being 60 now! (I myself turning 33 this Saturday) he's still doing great living in southern California
THANK YOU for uploading this!!! I remember seeing this on TV and every... and I mean EVERY single time I hear this song I think of THIS. His performance was spot on. Absolute perfection. Being a child at the time, it was a little scary to watch, but maybe that's why it stuck in my head all these years.
I was a fan of Puttin' on the Hits growing up. 3-D was my favorite act out of all of them. I wanted him to win in the grand finals. I was disappointed when he didn't. To this day I play this every now and then.
@@douglasdeneveu3061 I'm sure it was. I saw the other act you did after "19". That was good too. I didn't expect a reply, much less from you yourself. Thank you
I'm smiling so much watching this man. It's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I can't watch it once. It's blumming brilliant. Being from a different and much better era makes it even better.
Can't believe it took TH-cam 17 years to recommend this video to me. After all the other detritus it suggested I should watch as well 🤣 This is amazing 👏
I’m of that generation, I danced to that legendary pop house track many a time, but never seen this vid before, just amazing. 3Ds dance should have been mixed into the official video. Paul Hardcastle missed a trick here. The 80s are never forgotten 🙏🏽
i remember watching this, it was so excellently done i was overcome with emotion because this spoke volumes about what went on in vietnam, great work douglas i still think about this every now and then may god bless you and your family
Thanks! My daughter just brought this to my attention recently. I did this for the vets and for no other reason. Their story needed to be told. I am so happy this moved you.
Classic !! I remember going out to the clubs in sac town when I lived there during these times and saw 3-D win most of the awards at lip sync contest. Everyone used to say he should compete nationally. He did end up wining there too.
I was just a kid when i saw this awesome performance on the TV we had when we had with Rabbit Ears for Antenna. Puttin on the Hits was awesome i always watched it. This man was so talented in a haunting way. Puts chills up my spine. Everytime my Dad would go to the Army Surplus Store to buy something ...i would always think of this man for some reason.
No words can describe this. It’s priceless. And, transcendental. I lose my sense of reality every time I watch it and am transported into another dimension. Bravo!

Did your dad win $25,000?
We want a video of him talking about it and dancing .
That would be so cool!!
@@cerealfibre6938 He did, I watched the original show when it aired.....
@@timparker3272
Awesome, did it air in 1985?

Did you know that he was jewish? That's why the background is like that
@@chadwik4000I don't think he's jewish. Jews are underrepresented in the military by an order of magnatude. What's your nonsense about the background?
it was so popular because it was one nasty break-beat-hammer. God I miss the 80s and the quality music
2024 and this is the first time I have seen this - and it's amazing! Nailed it!
When were you born and what did he nail?
@torrentsofnothing2928 what's it matter.when he was born 😊
80-90s best time to be alive.
the 1970s were pretty cool...
Yea they were
@@JettBlast as long as you weren't near Saigon. .
1960s is the greatest decade timeless 👍🏻
Iyo
I am now 63 years old. I remember watching this on TV and was blown away. At that time, we had never seen anything like this. His costume, makeup and body movements mesmerized us all. Still love watching it to this day. Great job, Doug!
Where the heck have I been that haven't had the extreme luxury of seeing this video before? Blown away (pun intended)!
This performance embodies the 80's in so many ways.
I’m serious when I tell you I saw this in the eighties on live tv....I WAS 19!!!
Vietnam will not forget you
He poured more emotion into the song than the actual video! He gave a stellar performance and a glimpse into the violence an actual combat soldier would have gone through but not as graphic! One could only imagine!
-gone through- meted out.
His eye makeup rocks. It's the perfect look for his act.
Why do I keep coming back to this video approx. once per month. I think its his wicked looking face and head along with his mad skillz.
This was my first experience with the song and sought it out at the record store after seeing this. Very good performance.
This just popped into my head out of nowhere. I first saw this when it first aired. Had to be around 6-9 years old. I'm 40 now.
I remember Vietnam Vets getting so overwhelmed after seeing his performance, thanking him for putting a human touch to such a hard subject. Everyone who saw him perform live back in the day was in awe! Knowing him as a friend was even better!
BTW Doug, this is Andi ...
Hey Andi! Thanks for sharing this experience, I'll make sure to show him this!
~ his daughter
Andi, I was reminded by my daughter today of what I did all those years ago. Thanks for the kind words. You are missed. Much love.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Almost 30 years later and this is still incredible.
40 years now, lol.
Lol this guy is my dads best friend and he was at my wedding this past weekend :) he's awesome
TH-cam you are kidding...
@@herklm3770 no, wasnt kidding in the least. This shit is his side hobby/passion.
Really??
@@arlenacampbell200 in the words of Shrek, "Really, really."
Any other videos of him on TH-cam
I remember this episode! Paul Hardcastle's 19 got major play summer 1985!
A magnificent song and the video was awesome as well.
Memories unlocked. I forgot about this show. I used to love it. 3 D won for several weeks. He was awesome.
Defining track of the 80s❤
Incredible!
I remember that show came on right after solid gold on Saturday. those were the good old days.
He was absolutely brilliant
I haven't seen this since it originally aired - I was riveted when I saw it as a kid - even by today's standards that was exceptional.
Jersey Representing me to couldn't wait till Saturdays
Same
Jaaj this guy maan!;) he executed that soo well. Maan!;) hes looks make up. Movement. Lip sinking. Wuaoo!;) love it!;)
I was in my twenties and couldn’t look away from the screen.
Even Simon Cowell would be impressed!
I saw this LIVE ... and it was the BEST sheyitte I've ever seen..!!!!!
Someone left this link in a comment (in 2014) on a Steam Guide I made for DayZ. Just now went through the comments and clicked on it.

I remember this performance very well. Watched this show all the time back in the day.
Friggin' awesome. Danced to this in the clubs circa mid 80's.
I’ll never forget watching this show - 3D was incredible - a wonderful performance - we watched it every week back then
I cannot stop watching this. Hypnotic, eerie and so well done. Respect to this man and his interpretation of this classic. xxx
Hey!!! I remember when he performed this at a restaurant/bar called Bobby McGees near Sacramento it was awesome 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A Masterpiece, period.
I was a Fan of this show and even was a $25,000 Grand Finalist (Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put A Spell On You). This is one of The Greatest Acts to EVER appear on POTH. Just FANTASTIC!
Hey fellow finalist! Many many years later how things have changed, yes? Thanks for posting. Hope you’re doing well.
Oh my god. I haven't seen this in probably 25 years. Thanks so much for uploading it!!!
This is the performance that justifies that entire series.
Hell yeah! I remember being transfixed to the TV in my mom's living room amazed at his roboawesomeness!🤖
As his daughter, I thank you for your kind words. He's almost 60 now and can still do this skit!
@@MillennialWeirdo I remember talking about this show with a friend in high school and we thought the idea of a lip syncing competition show was a little silly, but this was so much more than just lip syncing that it "justified the whole series".

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in years .
Salute to all Vietnam vets out there !
You must really hate the Vietnamese and Cambodians.
Dude was dope. Originality dope, stage presence dope, costume dope. Awesome performance. This show took me back to the good times.
We have been blessed once more by the algorithm!
one of the best things i've seen on TH-cam
No words, genius!!!
Totally sick performance still in 2014!
Still in 2021!
Thanks for all the love! I'll let him know he's still making people happy with this routine

Not old but experienced :-)
I love his response at the end " I'll buy a house or a car..." Back in '85 you probably COULD buy a house for $25,000. You certainly could afford a car for less than that!
I still make fun of him for this comment 😂 he ended up buying a red truck just in case you were curious
@@MillennialWeirdoDid he win the 25k? He sure deserved it.
That was brilliant, please try again!!!!
This was so awesome! I remember watching this act on TV. It was (and still is!) truly jaw-dropping. So well done and on a sensitive subject. On so many levels, just a great performance.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I was 15 when the song hit, but I never saw that video, which was utterly amazing. Props to 3D if I'm saying it right
You know what's crazy? I watched that episode when I was a kid. I remember that performance. Crazy!
Awesome performance! I have probably watched 50 times already. 🥰
Took me right back ! What a totally cool dude , lovely guy and exceptionally talented !!!

I still have flashbacks from this performance as a kid. Glad someone posted this and I found it. Amazing.
This song just entered my head and I came to youtube to find it. I watched this instead. I remember this when it was on TV, he absolutely killed it!
Excellent
Thanks for posting this! This was my ALL TIME FAVE performance on the show and couldn't find the video I had it taped on! :) Thanks again!

Classic !! I remember going out to the clubs in sac town when I lived there during these times and saw 3-D win most of the awards at lip sync contest. Everyone used to say he should compete nationally. He did end up wining there too.
Hey! I was raised in Sac and use to visit the clubs. Which clubs did 3-D compete in??
Great Performance!! congratulations, love your spirit man! greetings from Peru!
3D has been one of my favorit dances for many years KEEP TUTIN ON EM
Flippin' awesome! i remember this show!
Brilliant, just brilliant performance!
