a song styled after the 1950s, created and performed in the late 80s/early 90s, that i am watching in 2016, about a crew of a ship over 3 million years in the future.
Sara Ross To quote another BBC show, it's all a bit wibbly wobbly timey wimey.
Great Scott!
Goodall wrote the music originally, like he writes all pieces of music on Red Dwarf, to be timeless (50s 60s) then Danny and the others took the song to a studio and re-recorded it with a 70s/80s disco feel
Sara Ross excellent comment
THREE MILLION YEARS! .... I've still got that library book.
Still haven't seen a show where 3 actors have such a great chemistry together, as much as Dave, Rimmer and the Cat do.
I would up that to four! Robert, AKA Kryten, has a fantastic chemistry with the crew too! :)
Arguably even the skutters
Daniel McGuire kryton
At this point Chris & Craig couldn't stand each other.
It's amazing that despite that, you can't tell when watching the show. I remember listening to the commentaries and Craig saying about how in season two I think it was, when Chris does an impression of Lister it really irked him. I think the only time you can tell is if you watch the behind the scenes stuff from back then, like the smeg up's. You could tell Craig, Robert & Danny got on more socially.
This would probably win the Eurovision Song Contest.
Replace the gobbled lyrics with various countries words of 'I love you' for easy points.
Omg yass
@@randomaccount-dq1jq But everyone in Europe hates us lol. The Scandinavians vote for each other (and I don't blame them). I'll eat my hat if the French or Germans ever gave us a single point!
No. Nothing good wins Eurovision
@@benchilds2247 Only 2006 had a good winner (Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah)
It's so strange to know none of these guys were actors before this show. Rimmer was an impressionist, cat was a singer/dancer, Holly and kryten were comedians and lister was a poet.
Cat/DJJ was an actor, but also singer/dancer, he trained for all the and was in West End theatre (the London equivalent of NYC's Broadway) and some other acting jobs, including the film Scum with Ray Winston, before doing Red Dwarf.
RLL had done other acting stuff too, but I don't know if he had any professional training, I think it was more fringe theatre and comedy stuff. Still though, impressive group of people that did wonderful things together! :)
@@helenl3193 I was always impressed by the acting range he had, when you see him in Blade 2 and then as the crusty Caribbean cop in the TV series Death in Paradise you wouldn't believe its the same guy.
Lister being a poet is so in character
@@Deevo037 and Barrington in Maid Marian
there is a documentary that came out recentlly about this show.
Friend: what kind of music do you listen to?
Me: it's complicated
Leaves you tongue tied
Durgle dobby👍🏾
you can so see Danny John Jules is in his totaly element here. it's nice to see an actor having so much fun
Cryptic Charm
Danny JJ was a trained singer and dancer. He turned up in a zoot suit for the original audition. They took his performance and shaped the Cat around it. Legend
You remember labyrinth from the 80s?
DJJ was one of the firies
He started his career in west end. He was in starlight express and also played Mistoffolees in Cats.
@@adamuk5037 Never really liked Cats
Not a Webber fan. i appreciate his musical genius, but not my thing.
And holly
I still never cease to be amazed at DJ-J's high kick and slide there at the end...the guy is an amazing dancer.
Danny was one of the dancing fiery creatures in "Labrynth" too.
I’m sorta impressed by the suit too, if honesty may. Like that high a kick, and not so much as a split seam? Fuckin well done costumers! lmao
I guess he learned a lot as "Rocky 1" in Starlight Express.
@@nancyrice7569 he was the *voice* of one of the Fieries (two of them, actually)... They were puppets, so he wasn't dancing in that part.
(from the credits: Firey 3 - Dave Goelz with Rob Mills, Sherry Amott (Voice: Danny John-Jules)
Firey 4 - Steve Whitmire with Cheryl Henson, Kevin Bradshaw (Voice: Danny John-Jules))
The guy who played Queeg actually coreographed this whole sequence and kept Chris Barrie and Craig Charles' parts as basic and unathletic as possible as to not make it too demanding for them
Craig still looked like he was struggling lol.
Rusty Shackleford are you sure it was Queeg? Danny John Jules is a professionally trained dancer so he seems more plausible in training the other actors
@@satjinder AFAIK the actor who played Queeg was DJJ's former dance instructor.
Pocket sand
@@vladskiobi Exactly what I thought.
"The Red Dwarf boys sing after being transported to a parallel universe." - Oh dear BBC. Did you not watch the episode? "The Cat dreams about singing prior to the boys being transported to a parallel universe."
Thank you for actually watching and remembering this episode.
Ah yes, they get transported to a parallel universe and decide ‘smeg it, _this needs to be a musical_ ‘ my favourite episode lmao
Doesn’t lister get pregnant
@@kainthedragoon8081 YES.... and has twins: Jim and Bexley.
Yeah the Cat watches this on the dream recorder whilst trying to find a dream about 'himself, 3 girls and a jacuzzi sized tub of vanilla yoghurt' if I remember correctly
Craig Charles' face is screaming "Kill me".
BrickBuilding Compilations43635 he said that he was not a synchronised dancer and that he looked like Diana Ross.
How can you tell with this video quality!
BrickBuilding Compilations43635 in the commentary he says he felt really gay and didn’t enjoy wrapping his legs around the others near the end.
Can't believe it's been 30 years since Red Dwarf first aired!
Yeah, mental isn't it. My brother was about twelve and me ten, give or take, and we used to have to go to bed at nine, but that night, our mum said we can stay up an extra half an hour, so we could watch the very first episode. She must've read about it in the TV guide and thought we'd like it. We did!
Holy shit
nooooooo
stop hitting me with such reality 😅
34 years now! Greetings from the future, suckers (2023)!
I just realized that during Danny's jump everyone comments about, the other two do a Rimmer salute
I’d never noticed that.
I hope this is the only thing from the 1980s to survive to the 2980s
i feel the same, it would make me so happy having this in a history database people think about when they talk about our life time. we will see once the universe brings us back to earth in that next life
It should it was number 1 in the uk for a few weeks
Number 17, according to officialcharts.com.
I hope so
This has got to be my single favorite moment in this show. It just starts up with a full-fledged music video, instead of the sci-fi that I expected to receive. I love it.
Mine to
dobbydergle
two things: first, I love how they sneak a part of the Red Dwarf theme into 1:38. Second, here's a fun bit of trivia: Danny John-Jules who is the actor that plays Cat used to be a dancer before he took on the role of Cat. In fact most of the cast had no prior acting experience apart from Chris Barrie (Arnold Rimmer) who was an impressionist, and Norman Lovett (Holly) who was an actor. Craig Charles (Dave Lister) was a poet, Robert Llewellyn (Kryten, series III onwards) was a comedian.
Lovett was also a stand up comedian.
🐈⬛ was rocky1 in the original starlight express
My friends did a lip sync performance to this for a school talent show. They won 😂
TinyPerson456 NOOOOOOO WAY XD YES
Wish i went to your school no one in mine watched rd
You just sparked a idea for the next lip sync challenge at my local comic con
Lol
What a mood
Fun Fact. This song reached number 17 in the charts :) Red Dwarf was Amazing for a little show that was only meant to fill a time slot before the news.
That camera angle when Barrie and Charles are doing those pelvic thrusts gets me every time
Im not old enough to “get it” so i need to hide my giggles
Lister's obvious lack of enthusiasm is hilarious.
This Cat has style!
How on Earth (?) the Red Dwarf guys ever finished this without cracking up is totally beyond me; true professionalism to the core.
""The Red Dwarf boys sing after being transported to a parallel universe." - um, no? This was a dream Cat had.
Was looking for this comment 👍🏾👍🏾
I so envy him - my dreams aren't this interesting😞
That is what I thought, clearly the BBC doesn't even know their own shows!
Red Dwarf, one of the only shows that gives you a both elated and sinking feeling whenever you are reminded at one point it existed.
It's still here. Series XI airs this year.
It still exists
Still exists, and it’s had a film! lol
Still exists and apparently the series has performed mitosis.
My favorite boy band
It's 2020 and this is still one of the very best shows (and song) around
“one of the”
Love Red Dwarf one of the best comedy programmes. 😀🏴
Ah yes, a fellow Welshman with tremendous taste. 🏴👌
I prefer Ommmm by Smeg and the Heads
It's just so catchy...
***** Neo Marxist Nihilistic Anarchist
Gareth Glitter I bet he'd do well in insurance..
"It's just so... Crypto-fascist!"
Me too.
The days when TV shows where actually good!!
+Adam Miller YES!
+Adam Miller There are sill good tv shows if you look hard enough, IT Crowd for example
Chris Barries dancing is boss!!!
Tongue Tied is a much better song than it needed to be! Pure pop perfection ❤
Catchy song love it
Smegging fantastic!!! What a guy!!!
I just had a sudden urge to watch this…
1:48 "Understand me when I saaaay... durble diggle gobbi gibbi doodle doodle day" - my fave bit. :-)
When I first saw this I was really confused, but I hoped the explanation would be that this was just what they did with their spare time. They just floated through space for years choreographing awesome dance scenes like this.
Love this, me and my friends did this routine at a party and everyone wanted to know where it was from. We were all wearing red suits, couldn’t get the proper outfits unfortunately. It was so fun
I wish Danny had been able to do more dancing in Red Dwarf. He really is good.
BTW.... this was choreographed by the man who played Queeg, the back-up computer program to Holly.
Heidi Myers you mean (spoilers) Holly. An alter ego he created to teach the boys a lesson to not take him or their situation for granted. ;)
You are correct. That is what I meant. I just didn't want to spoil it for others.
Any chance of them uploading a higher quality version of this now it's 9 years later on? Would be amazing if they still had the original tape.
+Bewareofthephil they do
JewelKnightJess. Wouldn't be in HD though, think that was still a pipe dream when this was done. And I think TH-cam have a certain video size limit... which would reduce the quality if you can have cut it...
JewelKnightJess it's on the DVD
youre in luck, blurays released in october!
I’d *_love_* to hear this song *_without_* the laugh track (like they’ve done with the _”Rimmer Song”)..._
No matter how many times I watch this, it still cracks me up. Thank god for Red Dwarf. :D
Skywalker, Red dwarf got me through a few of bad times thank the lord for a great show.
@@paladinboyd1228 my dad showed me it as a little kid, absolute legend.
This is actually quite a sweet love song,
Woke up thinking about this, haven't watched Red Dwarf in 10-15 years! haha
Danny John Jules is a natural dancer.
Why would that even come into someone's head?
@Peaches J He's very obviously straight - homosexuals don't beat up bin-men.
Cat's moves and singing are spot on 😻
As someone who watched this show as a young, young child. And continues to revisit it as a childhood classic. Wow there's a lot of Americans in these comments.
I wish they'd done this when Kryten was there, it would've been hilarious to see him dance
Best comedy on tv ever
I love Red Dwarf. This is actually a really good song.
It's interesting how many Czech comments are on Red dwarf videos. This is probably an evidence of how much czech humour is very simillar to british humour.
Chris Barry was obviously enjoying himself immensely.
The Cat is absolutely brilliant
Weirdly, I woke up with this in my head this morning. I can't have heard it in at least twenty years!
God, Cat is soooo cute here!
This never get's old :D
promatt5 AGREED. I LOOOOVE THIS.
They all look and move like they should be in a boyband.. such amazing entertainers
I will never forget singing this with my sister in the talent show fun times lol
Mr Flibbidy Flibbidy Flop is very cross
The description says they were transported to a parallel universe, but this is one of the Cat's dreams he watched on the dream recorder.
I got my friend into red dwarf and she has watched Dimension Jump 3 times just to listen to this song. I then told her she could get it on TH-cam she pulled an unhappy face.
Awwwww man this reminds me of being 10 and my mum letting me stay up to watch it. I remember this episode haha aaaaah I wish all I needed now was a TV show to make my life feel so good lol.
Great song, Danny's voice and dancing are brilliant. Craig and Chris are both hilarious, a little gem from a great episode.
''whenever your'e in town!'' :-)
The song actually has a really sweet narrative.
This never, ever fails to put a smile on my face
Your right 😂🙏
100%
This is much better than songs you get nowadays
I was very confused when I first saw this.
It's amazing that we can be witness to such an amazing show
this easily could of been a number 1 in the 80s
***** Not as good a version though, unfortunately.
or in the 90s or the 00s
It charted for weeks and weeks
I used to watch this on Netflix, and they would skip the intro automatically. However, that would include this song and I had no idea it was there until my friend told me.
The melody seems to contain elements of Build me up Buttercup by the Foundations
I had a huge crush on Rimmer when I first saw this. Lister great, and the Cat's awesome.
Yay Holly!!!
Still better than most music out these days 😂
Danny John Jules got ridiculously into this. He was a frustrated singer/dancer and talked the writers of Red Dwarf to write this into an episode.
sing it loud sing it PROUD ya'll cheers bloody spot ON xx
"The Red Dwarf boys sing after being transported to a parallel universe." That trademark BBC research.
The first time I saw this episode I didn't even need to watch the full episode I already knew this was my favorite part this was so cute 🤗❤️😺
this is quite literally the greatest piece of music ever written
I just discovered this gem of a show on Netflix. I love it!
They have the first eight seasons, I believe season 13 is out this year 😍
Just forget about Series 9. It's so bad that the producers and cast like to pretend it never happened.
A sincere welcome from the "watched the show as kid with their parents" gang
2019 and still bopping! Was lucky enough to meet Danny John Jules last year walking up the streets of London.
I had never seen Red Dwarf, but soon as I got back home I decided to give it a go... It soon became my new favourite show and I purchased the boxset.
Wow!!! You got to meet Danny John-Jules??!! I have such a massive crush on him.
He was wonderful in Death In Paradise, too.
Ooo child, I would have fainted!! I have a crush on him too.
Danny jules is a legend!
2018 still watching it, still love it
Cat’s life matters, lister saved his species
1:57: I think the highlight of the video is that leg move Danny pulls off. The man can dance!
If anyone is interested, I heard the guy who plays Queeg 500 got cast cause he choreographed this dance
I thought the two were unrelated, but I did know about Charles Augins' choreography. And that Babycham ad, remember that?
Amazing! I've tried this seven times now, and it works like a charm. If you're feeling down or sad or just depressed... Just watch this video! Guaranteed to put a smile on your face! Swear to chuck, it works every time! Or maybe it's just that I love these guys and anything they do brings a smile to my face? Could be that, as well!
11 years late, but absolutely. I've been going through god awful depression and this is helping a ton.
I still watch this today after so many years and still laugh ridiculously hard
i sang this for my Open Day the crowds loved it cos i even wore a suit like theirs!!!
Fantastic that. Very good dancing and good singing. Very entertaining. It would of been great if kryten was there to join in.
I don't think Kryten was a main character yet
this was in the ep thanks for the memory, also realeased in aug 93 and got to no 7 in the charts
Cat's moves at 1:58!
His name is Danny-John-Jules. And yes he was.
unbelievable step, had to pause twice
He used to be a dancer before becoming an actor
One of the nicest songs.
The whole performance turns out to be an old dream of the Cat, he's later seen watching it on the red dwarf dream recorder.
What legends are made off :)
This is actually musical perfection, not even into this genre that much as well.
The cat to win strictly this year!
If he can still do a layout like that? He's sure to!!
Red Dwarf and Twin Peaks are the best series ever !
We need more red dwarf!! It can't die :'(
Theres nothing like this nowadays - nothing really cuts close to the humour that was in this show.
This is what made the earliest episodes some of the best, because they didn't just refuse to take themselves seriously, they made it an art form! I don't think that early genius can ever be recreated. Not without at least Rob Grant and Ed Bye making a comeback. Is Ed Bye even still going?
Watching this during an ad break of The Promised Land. Still cracks me up every time 😂
. . . and THIS is another reason why the 80's rocked.
God I love this show! It will always have a place in my heart
Cat was dreaming this.
