- Because of the positive response my previous videos have had, here's my latest 'dancing video'.

Some weren't possible, simply because they didn't suit the edit.

They were real performers. They could dance, sing, act, do serious roles, comedy. They were the absolute best. I sure miss them.
When the Aliens from outer space invade us and ask “Why shouldn’t we obliterate your planet?”, just show them this. We’ll be fine.
I spent 35 years in film production and am awed by this effort, notably the thousands of hours that must have been spent seeking just the right visible moments to match the sound beat.
Absolutely, undeniably on the button!...The time spent on making this jumping masterpiece is talent enough!
I was thinking the same thing. Excellent editing, excellent choices.
Please dont let this be the last one. You have no idea of the joy these videos bring! We need more!
If more people danced and sang the world would be such a better place and we would get there a lot faster!
I so agree
Well except for maybe Ginger Rogers! Ann-Margret is absolutely stunning. And you can't beat the Rockettes for precision line dancing and then we have all the ice dancers. what a sight. And going back to Sonja Henny. I live for her movies at the time and when I got out on Ice I pretended I was another Peggy Fleming ! I dance every chance I get ever since
American Bandstand and Dick Clark Graced the Air waves. even if I don't have a partner it's just one of the greatest things to do.
@ Matthew birken hype and I enjoyed your comments. I'm not sure there are that many ands as I mentioned in my reply I think about the dancers in Fame and West Side Story- all such great performing
It would be a lot healthier too both physically and mentally. Being able to laugh would be another great addition to that.
Now days those old movies seem so hokey and corney but I would much rather watch them than what's on today
These scenes are an example of what could be achieved without technology. These actors and dancers are the real deal.
Very kool. I'm 73 and remember watching a lot of these movies and dancers
I echo the paeans of praise heaped upon this production. If defies description for this 80-year-old who grew up in a show business family. Mom was a hoofer.. I play this almost every evening, just so I can sit there and smile from ear to ear before bedtime.
There are some good things on the internets, and this is it.
Because of this Video, I'm planning a dance party this week for buddies, to enjoy the Art of the dance. We're ALL 74 ++ years. Mille Grazie !!
My heart’s desire is to have everyone in the world watch this video and Smile. Thanks for all your hard work
It makes you think they are actually dancing to this song! The precision, the handclaps, the timing… it’s perfect!
Hard to believe there was a time when you needed actual natural raw talent to gain celebrity status.
No, you can't stop making them. They cheer all of us up. We need them.
Indeed
Me again, I keep coming back to watch this every now and then because it is brilliant
WOW! I just watched my childhood and it was the greatest thing I've seen in years! Gene Kelly was my idol ever since I was able to dance on my own two feet. I loved him and still do! My mom loved Hollywood and we watched all the movies with her...singing along to every song. Thank you so much for making this video it made my day. I miss the glamour and the class that these times had. My mom looked and dressed like a star so I always had that beauty and class nearby. ♥♥♥
These types of videos just make my heart smile❤️
Some of these stars were a triple threat. They could act, sing & dance. Love these times. Thx&see ya😁
YOUR TIME AND EFFORT IS VERY MUCH APPRICIEATED .
These wonderful dancers were an inspiration to many choreographers to follow.
watching and listening for years on the tube ''THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST MIX OF MASH I HAVE HEARD AND SEEN PURE GENIOUS''
I don't know why but there is nothing more life affirming then watching people dance. It brings me out of any negitive feeling I'm having and lifts me to the moon.
What incredible foresight that all these vintage stars knew they'd need to dance to a song that would be written decades later. Absolutely bewildering 🤔
No-one in the younger generation appreciates the all-round talents of these amazing actors/singers/dancers like us "oldies". Unfortunately I have only recently found and started to watch your amazing clips. Enjoying them immensely. How can I keep watching and enjoying them as well as greatly appreciating your dedication in creating them.
I do
The precision with which these snippets of film were synched with the accompanying music is beyond description -- exquisite!! Kudos!! And such an array of memorable dance sequences really turns on the nostalgia for those of us who've been around for over 60 years. My hope is that the young ones coming up will appreciate these incredibly gifted artists, the "poetry in motion". Thank you for the pleasure of viewing!
I have watched and listened to this video hundreds of times! It always makes me smile, brings back memories of my younger dancing days! I have shared this video with everyone I know! My children included! You'll be happy to hear my kids have not only seen; Top Hat, Holiday Inn, My Fair Lady, Sound of Music, Arsenic & Old Lace, Abbott & Costello...but almost every day I will hear, "Alexa, play Sixteen Going On Seventeen", or another request for something before the 80's! They know Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, BB King, Bob Segar, Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Jimmy Stewart...Take heart, there are many young people aware and celebrating these geniuses!
I know right, so clever 🥳🥳🥳
it´s not the syncing of the music....did u mentioned that the text is often fitting to the shown snippets? ;)
Perfect song and remembering how much dance was part of the entertainment industry.
Seriously. The beat and the vids are all perfectly sync'd. I've done personal vids with random music that doesn't have to do anything but compliment... nowhere near the level of creativity and perfection achieved here!!!
I hope you know full well... the joy you are giving! THANKS!
Tony, this ode to dancing video is beyond wonderful. Thank you so much for all your very hard work and artistry. ❤
Wonderful collection of awesome dancers 💃
I REALLY like how the editor managed to keep the dancers on the beat of the song.
Extremely well done.
Played this so many times.Still as fantastic as the 1st time.
Whoever devised this video is an absolute genius, it's got everything and everyone. It shows the present , the past , black and white, keep om
Those were the good old days, never to return again. Thanks for the memories! 👏👏🏾👏👏🏾
This is MAGNIFICENT. NOBODY can watch this & not smile & start dancing. NOBODY.
AGREED.
So True! How can you stay in your seat for this one?!!
Really makes you want to watch all of these movies, in an attempt to re-live some of the happiness they portrait..
*SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!....if you don't get nostalgic over this you are not of this world!!!*
I've been having a bit of a rough time lately and came across this video. All I can say is that it absolutely raised my spirits through the roof. It's 7 minutes of PURE Happiness, and I thank you for taking the time to make it. GREAT work!
I agree Doris. This is the kind of thing it is hard to get enough of. It's also hard to stay seated while you're watching it!. Pass it on for others to enjoy. I did. P.s. the actual Lionel Richiie video ain't bad either .
Weve most likely never met, but I sincerely hope things are going better for you. Ive been there & can relate. Sometimes it feels never ending but we seem to find a way to push through it. I know I did & hope you will to. Take Care & know youre truly not alone. 💟💟💟
You just made my day as a 67 year old cancer patient, so bless you for all the hard work I know this took. So many great memories wrapped into one short video!!! Thank you is not enough but I hope it means something to you. Watched it twice already and forwarded to family and friends. This was a labor of love and it shows.
I'm 67 years old I loved to dance but cant do it any more broken hip drop foot now use a walker.Listening to this I can still stand up and dance to this music. Makes me feel young and alive again
Godspeed to you Mark
Watch this multiple times per day. You may be surprised how your body can heal itself when it produces positive vibes and endorphins. I am not a big dance fan (God knows I cant do it that well) but if this doesn't make people feel happy, then I feel sorry for them. Best wishes to you! Also want to give props to kingofkungfu for assembling this. As a fellow video editor, I understand how many hours and research had to be put into this to get all of these clips and to match them to the music.
Get vicious Mark! Kill that shit with your mind! Go Orwellian on it...the iron boot that crush.
You're also right this music just makes you want to get up and dance even if you can't. I watch this video constantly but the best one is called Footloose by the same guy
Please keep doing more of these. I never get tired of them. They bring such joy, such beautiful memories. You are a genius. They are brought back to life again. Just wonderful.
LOVE LOVE LOVE these vids with old movie dance sequences. Fred Astaire was amazing. Most of these are from my youth or before I was born. Loved seeing Lucille Ball and Buddy Ebsen.
And how could I not mention Gene Kelly.
The timing and accuracy of the dance to the music is amazing and how many of the lyrics fit with the many of the scenes …. Genius
So great to see talented people having a great time doing what they love. Those were the days!
The coordination between the video and the music is unbelievable. Great job.
I LOVE THIS!!! I remember all these! Gene Kelly, Fred Astair, Mitsi Gaynor, Sammy Davis Jr, Rita Hayworth, Donald O'Connor, and on and on!! Thank you!!
Kudos to the creator. I was so enthralled watching all of the stuff I'd grown up watching. And to hear it with Lionel Richie oh my the best of both worlds.
Whoever put this together is a genius. Loved how the steps and moves were so coordinated with the beat. Totally entertaining I give it 1 million stars. Awesome job
Agree 100%! This is incredible!!
I think I've seen one with all the old stars coordinated to Uptown Funk.
Agreed- Totally genious!
On top of steps & moves matching the beat, often the lyrics match the actions - while _dancing on the ceiling,_ of course, but not only.
Awesome job is so correct !
Also incredibly awesome dedication ! Thank you Sir.
I counted approximately 115 video clips +/-- ! ! WOW !
LOVE HOW DANCERS ARE SO FIT..........
As an average film and dance enthusiast, it strikes me how iconic these moments were. Joyful celebration of the best of human nature, while at the same time, then and now other “ humans” were busy killing each other . Thank you all for the joy in this fabulous tribute to our better nature 🇨🇦🤣❤️💔🙏🇺🇦
What a treat. All the great movies, with all those great artist. I’m glad it’s all on film for all to watch over and over again. It was quite a job getting all these shows and movies to sync with the music.
This video should win an amazing award! Wow how many video clips were in this collection!!! A feel good masterpiece from the past!
I grew up watching the Hollywood musicals. And I love 80s music. Just absolutely brilliant! Bravo! 👏👏👏👏
👍👍👍
Not so grouchy anymore old man. 😂
🙃😊🙏
One of the best videos on the Internet.
Love the clip when the character from The Wiz was going to "Get Down".. Very well played. Perfect.
I love LOVE synchronicity when the mudic fits perfectly with the dance moves. This is excellent.
I love the focus on the Charleston, and thank you especially, for including such a wide array of films, dancers, and actors. It fills my heart with joy!
My grandfather was a rehearsal pianist, arranger, and Vocal Coach in Hollywood during the 50's & 60's (he was the rehearsal pianist for "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers," and taught Marilyn Monroe her songs for "Some Like it Hot," for example), so watching this video I felt like I was watching a part of my family that I had lost, and still missed. Thank you!
Seriously, this is the best video editing in the history of video editing, imhho. The knowledge of the movies, the sync, the combo, the transition... it's like watching one movie...
I have watched this 10 plus times and never tire of it. This is the epitome of athleticism and joy filled magical music combined into one amazing 7 minute sequence. Such a pleasure to watch, listen and DANCE to!!!! Thank you Tony, your talent has been a gift to myself and many, many others.
I don’t care if everyone else has already said it ... Nailed the timing! Great cheer up! Wonderful memories!
💯% Absolutely the best musical movie dances mash up I've ever seen on here! Not only were all the scenes perfectly timed to the beat but you even had little things like lights turned on, Get Down written on a sign in the background, Kevin Bacon yelling "Let's dance", and people dancing on the ceiling all at the same times that those things were being sung in the song. Hand claps matched up great and the "mood" of the movie scenes matched the times the song slowed and sped up. Going to watch this one a lot!
Brilliant and joyful. I'm still smiling...thank you!!
Fantastic, also reminds me that Actors back in the day were superhumans, Look good, Act, Sing, Dance, Comedians all in one
Thank You Mr. Coates. Your syncopation of the music and steps of the dancers is marvelous! My heart and soul are dancing along with the performers! I'm 72 years old so my body is not capable of keeping up! The song you chose, "Dancing On The Ceiling" sung by Lionel Richie could not be more appropriate. Hats off the the beautiful ladies who danced in high heels and Bothe the men and ladies who, in some of the clips were tap dancing! Mr. Coates, I salute you!
I was amazed how many clips I had never seen before and just how cute and talented many were; Debbie Reynolds, Mickey Rooney, Ann Margaret, etc.; film did, truly, entertain. Now they just try to turn a buck. Thanks to talented editor who entertains, as well.
I thought pretty much the same thing, and the talent to match the steps of a time long past to music they probably never heard when they were dancing... Simply amazing!!
@@ColleenBrooks1961 👍
All I can say beyond that - Ann Margaret, O-M-G.
@@randymorrison4552 I can not top your reply, so I will not try . . . Okay, maybe I will try . . . Ann Margaret was, is, forever will be a living punctuation mark on the word WOMAN! . . . as in, "And God created woman!"

I'm in awe of your synchronising. Hand claps, visuals (dancing on the Ceiling indeed!).
I can understand why you might not be making any more of these. They must take up a huge amount of your time.
Thank you.
Congrats to Tony Coates! The editing job was amazing. All the dance movie clips synced perfectly with the music. Great job Tony 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Still looooove the mix of modern and old. Wonderful. Everyone take a well deserved bow. Thanks
*I can only imagine the absolutely tremendous amount of work that you put into creating this! I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! This truly was a joyous video!*
*Almost like a celebration of life! Thank you so very much! The timing and editing was so very well done! So once again... Thank you so very much for creating this!*
This just made me so happy!!!! I truly believe in the healing power of music and dance!!! Made my heavy heart smile!!!!
BRILLIANT TIMING.
I watch this every time I need a little joy.❤
7 + minutes of pure joy. How I love these videos. They are exquisite and are always a pick me up no matter how many times I see them. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
ALL THE GREATS I grew up with. Love it!
The more I watch this, the happier I get!! I think this is the best of the dance/song mash-ups on TH-cam! Thank you for such an act of generosity.
I just get such a lot of pleasure, from the very clever editing, that anyone would be perseptive enough, clever enough, imagine enough, all lthose movies, all those stars, all that talent, with that song.
Watched all the footage, and married it up.
I has have seen all those movies.
This is such a pleasure and joy, i bow to you all
thanks a million.
Gene Kelly, Cyd Charise, et. al. Amazing compilation❗
Boy did they entertain us or what? Who wanted to go out and play when you had these folks to watch having so much fun! I've been in very small group dance productions in very different lights and got a sense of commratory and accomplishment and pride that I carry to this day.
Hands down one of the best mash ups that came across my feed. The sync and timing is gobsmackingly perfect, it uses scenes that aren't the "usual suspects" that others use over and over. Had a few "wow" and "unbelievable" moments with inserted guffaws. Aaaaand clicking replay....
As you can see, there was a time in this country (generally before the 80's) where you actually had to have talent to be on the screenor tv.
Yep, skills such as song, dance, horse riding and fencing are no longer required for an industry now focussed on social messaging, not entertainment.
(and two grossly fat individuals in tinsel bikinis at the grammys does not count as dance and song)
Indeed. You look at the actors in this video who weren't even primarily known for dancing but it was expected they would be good at it. La La Land, while enjoyable, made it quite clear that today's actors just can't do it. They tried, bless them. Similarly, I ride horses and I remember my old instructor from years and years ago listing the actors who could still get on a horse and ride in real life - and were good at it. Not just the ones who were know mostly for Westerns either (like John Wayne or even Ronald Reagan)! Harrison Ford just being one. Now, it's "how hot do you look?" with "hot" defined as "how close to this months IT-Look are you?" 😭
@@michaelhoffmann2891 Those were the days when, as David Niven put it, actors all needed a practical skill or a bicycle shop on the side for the lean times when scripts slow or cease all together. Those actors who went back to steel working between films, etc. Jeremy Renner, construction worker and property developer who sees acting as a hobby, and Jessica Alba, have that real-life skillset and bicycle shop on the side , going. Probably more but not in the numbers there used to be.
@@andyfarman7525 Are you saying that filling in time between movies with being an Internet "influencer" is not a valid profession? I am shocked, *shocked*, I say! 😉
@@andyfarman7525ln.m.
Absolutely love this.....God Bless them all
More talent in this video, including Lionel Richie than there is now in the entire music and film industry
A fabulous selection of films from across the decades! And great editing!
I could watch these all day!!!
When entertainers had joy in entertaining. I remember so many of these movies. Beautiful.
Beautifully done, and yes I agree if more people danced we'd get there quicker and enjoy the ride more
Insane research to find the right dances from all these movies (94 altogether ! Unreal !!), that would fit the exact breaks in the music and then sync the whole thing... And at 7'47" this video is one of the longest mashups I've seen ! If there was an Oscar nomination for showing the younger generations the fabulous numbers from the past, this video sure would get the prize ! MAD props to you kingofkungfu2002 !!!!! I'm still in awe... Got to press the replay button right about now !
Just found this fantastic and aweinspiring movie full of great dancing and stupendous Synchronicity. What a feat of technical ingenuity. The time and effort you have put into this is unimaginable. Thank you for giving us almost 8 minutes worth of total glee and happiness. We look forward to when your retirement ends.
Nailed it!!!! So know every one in this video!!! Back when life was so different. Happier. Simpler!!!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏
it's so great to see all the great stars I grew up with
when they were young / vibrant & dancing, to modern music no less.
There are not enough superlatives to describe how well this video was put together. I must have watched it at least ten times and each time find more and more examples of the accuracy of the editing. Amazing work. Passionate Artistry. Thank you, Sir.
This video is a masterpiece. The fact that each lyrics line, each sound is linked with a precise scene it's what really get me every time I watch it (and I'm going for the hundredth time), but this time, I don't know, i feel in brink of tears - tears of joy, obviously.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sure do miss all those old movies, happy people dancing and singing.
Watch TCM
I absolutely loved this video presentation. So many star's. I'm a bit older so I know each by name, but it saddens me to think so many of your viewers don't even know who's dancing in this video. These were truly the great's of a Generation.
Perfect song for one of these old movie dance mashups.
Inspiring, a reminder to dance while you can, as you ain't got too long...
You never too old to dance I just went to this Restaurant and tiki bar the other day to get oysters and this gentleman was dancing with his walker.
Beautifully done, and wonderfully timed and scored. Thank you, Mr. Coates, for your labor of love here. This piece is simply amazing. I don't understand how *anyone* could dislike this.
I think my heart just exploded from JOY!
Growing up in the old "cut and splice" age of radio (this tune came out about three years after I began, in fact), I can appreciate the editing immensely. Nicely played!
More like this please, it really takes me back to my youth when I see all those classic dancers - Thank You
Wow, you guys need to be awarded. This was absolutely outstanding. 10/10 YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST Thankyou so much once again, just brilliant work!!!
feel the spirit of so wonderful music and actors, who can bring you the feeling "all is good in this moment".....thx!!!
[Edit] Without a doubt, this is by a huge length of far the best dance mash-up of old movies to modern tunes I have ever watched. Great artistry is in the details, and the attention to detail here is stupendous. If you're not accustomed to seeing these kinds of mash-ups, find one by someone else, bookmark it, then come watch this one several times before finally going to your other selection. There is a immense but subtle difference. This one deserves an Oscar for excellence in the art of mash-up.
[Original comment]
So far, this is the best dance mash-up of old movies to modern tunes I've seen. Matching content to lyrics with great segues, no perceptible lags or advances on the tempo, a great selection of clips, many of which were new to me, a wonderful up-beat song. Loved it!
