This song was played the HELL out of at the clubs in the mid 80's. It was fun. We didn't know Eddie could sing like that back then either. Lots of ppl hated it but us club dancers loved it. Lol Great reaction Jay.
I used to dance around my house with my infant daughter to this song when she was cranky. She lived this song! Now she is 35 year old grown woman. Time does fly!
I was never surprised that Eddie could sing - his James Brown and Stevie Wonder impressions on Saturday Night Live are legendary. This video though... hilarious. You can tell even Eddie wasn't taking this too seriously.
Ah, Rick James! Another great one to react to. “Superfreak”. Then move immediately to MC Hammers You Can’t Touch This, which heavily samples Superfreak.
melissa gibson right, everybody knows Eddie but his brother Charlie was an amazing comedy writer. He, David Chapelle & Rick James were great friends which I’m sure you already know. I’m glad somebody got the Rick James reference Lol!
The guy with Eddie towards the end, Rick James, wrote and produced this song. Check out the 2006 movie "Dreamgirls" because Eddie sang in it. He's got a good voice but most people won't take him seriously as a singer because he started off as a comedian/actor. Eddie actually has a song and video with Michael Jackson called "Whatzupwitu."
Rick James knew how to make the song fit the singer.He wrote and produced songs for the Temptations also ."Standing on the top"Temptations Reunion concert.
Eddie Murphy got his big start on Saturday Night Live, at age 19. He was just a kid, but he literally put that show on his back and carried them through the next four years. Those of us who watched SNL back then knew he could sing, because he had skits where that was part of his role. I specifically remember his bang-on James Brown and Stevie Wonder impersonations that were completely hilarious. You can't do a good impersonation of either of those singers if you don't have some serious vocal chops.
This is a great song at parties and will get the feet moving on the dance floor. And by the way Eddie murphy continued his musical career into reggae music.
FYI: this song was done on a $100,000 bet with Richard Pryor that a Eddie couldn’t sing. So, Eddie got with Rick James who wrote & produced this song. It was 2nd on billboard charts for a while & sold over a Million copies.
OMG yayy!! I freaking love Eddie Murphy!! I think he's incredibly underrated. While Beverly Hills Cop movies are some of my favorites, I also love him in more serious roles like Mr. Church (Dolemite was awesome too! and should have won an award for costumes!!). He's just so freaking talented and oof that smile!!!! Thanks for doing this!!
I have never been an Eddie Murphy fan and I remember when Rick James (his friend) wanted to do a recording of him doing a song......I couldn't believe it!!! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, he knew he couldn't sing and become a serious recording artist!!!
Back when SNL was actually funny and not political, Eddie did the best Stevie Wonder impression ever. Being Stevie was when I first knew of Eddie's voice. I believe this version of "Party" is a cover.
They recorded this at Rick james home studio I believe in buffalo and got snowed in for a week. Eddie Murphy has said that this was literally the most fun weekend of his life.
Rick James I believe wrote & produced the song, he's in the video & doing backups. This song was FIRE when it was new- I clearly remember driving around town [I was in high school] with windows down, blasting it and dancing around!!! Incidentally Rick James was from Buffalo NY and I worked w his sister for 20 years, we were really close & ate lunch together every day. She quit her job when he died.
Absolute banger this. Every friday (dont ask me why) but me and work mates randomly sing this so it sticks in everyones heads for the week. We are in our lates 30's / early 40's as well 😂
I remember this video! Eddie Murphy is so incredibly talented. (He does sing a couple of songs himself in the Dolemite movie.) Btw Rick James wrote & produced “Party All the Time” so this is perfect timing for me, since I was just rewatching Dave Chappelle’s Rick James skits! So hilarious! Tbh I actually do still love Rick James’ songs even though he’s a total jerk. He writes great songs!
Eddie wanted to work with Prince first but that didn't work out (because Prince did not work with people who "partied" too hard)...so he switched to Rick James who was happy to hear that Eddie didn't want to work with Prince. Eddie used to date Whitney Houston in the late 80's, but broke up with her. His brother, Charlie, told Howard Stern that the reason is that she "liked to party too much." In his autobiography, Bobby Brown described a conversation that he had with Eddie when he was interested in Whitney...and he said that Eddie said that Whitney is "too wild" for him, which intrigued him even more (because of her good girl image at the time). According to 2002 Whitney, she answered Diane Sawyer's question about drugs with "Yeah, I love to party..." More surprising 80's one-hit wonders: Bruce Willis' "Respect Yourself".
Eddie Murphy performs his own songs in Dolomite and in the movie Showgirls. He has never stopped singing. He has a TH-cam channel with all of his songs on it.
I think he was saying that Rick James was producing it for Eddie Murphy. As for Super Freak....he needs to change it from she's a super freak to he's a super freak 🤨
This was back when Eddie could read the phone book and people would throw money at him. He could do ANYTHING HE WANTED from 1982-1990. But the man is a generational talent. We were lucky he worked so hard and so much. You should watch every movie he made between '92 and '90, stand-up included.
Just like will smith Eddie could do everything superb comedian actor and singer respect to this man what a tune loved it then love it now Jay...who knew the Beverly hills cop could sing this is brilliant 👮👮
I will never forget this song. I was driving home from work and I didn’t realize there was black ice in the interstate. All the sudden by car was going all over the place. It rolled over and landed off the road. I was ok actually but it felt like my tailbone had went through my skull and the radio is still blaring...my girl likes to party all the time. You need to see the movie Dreamgirls. Eddie can definitely sing...
Are you kidding me? THAT was Eddie Murphy??? I had no IDEA! Oh man! How stupid do I feel! I heard this off and on for a lot of the 80's, but I don't EVER remember hearing that it was Eddie Murphy who sang it. Oh wow! That's incredible! And man...he had a great voice! Why didn't he continue to make music? This is CRAZY! Loved your reaction, Bro!
i was 4/5 when this came out too lol my mom ran a daycare when i was older and we used to sing “Potty all the time” to the kids when she was potty training them LOL that was in the mid 90s but we never forgot this song.
Us OLD ppl knew! Lol... The man singing w/him, is a great singer; Rick James. He does a great duet w/Smokey Robinson, "Ebony Eyes". And does a duet w/Teena Marie, "Fire & Desire", KILLER SONG! Teena Marie is an has an INCREDIBLE VOICE, one that will blow ur mind. Pls check her duet out, w/Rick James. Audio version; live is not taped well.
Eddie collaborated with Snoop Dogg recently as well... Red Light... Good song with a video that has a poignant message for the times. Love me some Eddie Murphy.
This song was played the HELL out of at the clubs in the mid 80's. It was fun. We didn't know Eddie could sing like that back then either. Lots of ppl hated it but us club dancers loved it. Lol Great reaction Jay.
It was really fun to dance to!
Yeah that would be awesome to hear it in the club
That's Rick James at the soundboard
Rick James wrote this song
I was waiting to see if Jovaughn would ask who that other dude was. But he didn't
@@mdunn4555 I was thinking is that rick james but I wasn't sure
You and I great song
We need Rick James, "Superfreak" th-cam.com/video/QYHxGBH6o4M/w-d-xo.html
I loved Eddie Murphy is Dolemite. And I think we all forgotten Eddie sang in Shrek LOL
Not me!
"'Cause Ya' Gotta Have Friends..."
I believe I believe I believe
I used to dance around my house with my infant daughter to this song when she was cranky. She lived this song! Now she is 35 year old grown woman. Time does fly!
Aaww- that’s sweet!💛
My mom liked to say “time marches on, right across our face”. I’ve learned the truth in that statement. 😉😂
Kathy Pelkowski I love your mum!!! 👍👍💖🌸
Looks like Axel Foley (Eddie's character in Beverly Hills Cop) got dropped in the studio 😂
Love that movie 😍
This song was done right around the same time.
😂
He he he he he
I was never surprised that Eddie could sing - his James Brown and Stevie Wonder impressions on Saturday Night Live are legendary. This video though... hilarious. You can tell even Eddie wasn't taking this too seriously.
Too hot in the hot tub!
@@jeffreym68 Well, well, well!!
Rick James was born in Buffalo NY and his funeral was a huge thing here in Buffalo. 6,000 Buffalonians stood in line to pay their respects!
"She ain't ya gurl no more Eddie man". Preach 😂 this song is so catchy though!
Ah, Rick James! Another great one to react to. “Superfreak”. Then move immediately to MC Hammers You Can’t Touch This, which heavily samples Superfreak.
Oh man, Eddie brought the jam on this! This is one that stays stuck in your head, so catchy. & it’s Rick James Biotch! 😂
LMAO! Classic.
melissa gibson yes ma’am, I see you get it ! ✌🏻
@@missgmoma Yes! Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories. Hilarious.
melissa gibson right, everybody knows Eddie but his brother Charlie was an amazing comedy writer. He, David Chapelle & Rick James were great friends which I’m sure you already know. I’m glad somebody got the Rick James reference Lol!
LOL!
Haha.. You're correct, it's so 80s 😎
:"That ain't your girl anymore"....LOL...an understatement and funny as heck.
Rick James set Eddie up well on this. Rick really liked to party all the time! And I quote: "Cocaine is a helluva drug".
I don't know why but this song always makes me laugh, even though he sounds great.
The guy with Eddie towards the end, Rick James, wrote and produced this song. Check out the 2006 movie "Dreamgirls" because Eddie sang in it. He's got a good voice but most people won't take him seriously as a singer because he started off as a comedian/actor. Eddie actually has a song and video with Michael Jackson called "Whatzupwitu."
Don't forget "Put Your Mouth on Me". That one made me blush. lol
@@juliell2139 Oh yeah, I forgot about that one lol. Another good song.
That due with MJ is awful!
Eddie Murphy has more talent than he gets credit for. He is a good actor as well as comedian and singet.
Rick James knew how to make the song fit the singer.He wrote and produced songs for the Temptations also ."Standing on the top"Temptations Reunion concert.

Jay said that ain't your girl no more lol
That's Rick James singing back up vocals and in the control booth! This was one fun song to dance to back in the day.
This song was huge! It peaked at #2 on the Billboard hot 100 ☺ Eddie Murphy was so popular at this time.
Bruce Willis had a song on the charts in the 80s as well. It's called, "Respect Yourself".
Don Johnson too with "Heartbeat".
All really awful tracks!
Why?
Patrick Swayze, too.
and it sucked
This is a great song at parties and will get the feet moving on the dance floor. And by the way Eddie murphy continued his musical career into reggae music.
We use to sing “my girl likes to potty all the time.” Yeah, we were 10.
I was going to say the same thing! Ha!
Rick Jame’s sings back up vocal’s. This song is catchy!
Amy k That’s adorable! 👍🚽🚽🚽😂
Lol!!!
I might try it with my toddler. We’re going to start potty training in style :)
He was great on Saturday Night Live. I think he did a great James Brown impression. 🐕
Oh wow. I forgot Rick James was in this video. lol.
Me too, but it makes sense - it totally sounds like a Rick James song!
@@doplinger1 you're right, it does. lol
Rick James be breakin' out the BASS. He's related to The Temptations, and produced them, too.
Looks fun as hell in the studio! Love the 80s ! 💕
Speaking of Rick James...you should react to him and Smokey Robinson Ebony Eyes for Motown Monday :)
Or Rick James Super Freak, Loosey's Rap or with Teena Marie singing Fire and Desire..
Sharon Preston
Super Freak is a legendary track!
Rick James...fun entertainer to watch. Fire snd Desire live with Teena Marie was a blast to watch.
How could it be is another Eddie Murphy song to listen to.
I just discovered this song a few years ago (even though I grew up in the 80s I didn't remember this song). Love it.
Eddie Murphy's smile lights up the room.
FYI: this song was done on a $100,000 bet with Richard Pryor that a Eddie couldn’t sing. So, Eddie got with Rick James who wrote & produced this song. It was 2nd on billboard charts for a while & sold over a Million copies.

Dolemite is awesome!
RIP rick james
When this song came out it was jamming in all the clubs, and clubs were big in the 80s. AND WE ALL KNEW EDDIE SANG IT.
and everyone was cocained out
I have never been an Eddie Murphy fan and I remember when Rick James (his friend) wanted to do a recording of him doing a song......I couldn't believe it!!! THANK GOD ALMIGHTY, he knew he couldn't sing and become a serious recording artist!!!
I loooove this song from Eddie Murphy,really Great Dance song!❤️
Back when SNL was actually funny and not political, Eddie did the best Stevie Wonder impression ever. Being Stevie was when I first knew of Eddie's voice. I believe this version of "Party" is a cover.
All I Need - Jack Wagner - was another great song sung by an 80s actor. Slow jam and awesome!
yes all I need is great song - Quincy Jones produced it (love him as Frisco on General hospital)
Please please react to Loverboy, “Lovin every minute of it”. Great tune! ☺️☺️
Anything Loverboy is awesome !!
Turn Me Loose!!

☆LONG LIVE THE 80'S☆
He was huge in those days. Movies, hbo specials...and a song.
I still cannot watch this without thinking it's a comedy bit. It's like a parody.
The madtv skit lol
Absolute banger this. Every friday (dont ask me why) but me and work mates randomly sing this so it sticks in everyones heads for the week. We are in our lates 30's / early 40's as well 😂
UGH!!! i had to watch to see your reaction and now i'm going to have this stuck in my head for the next month!! thanks man...:O)
You have one of the best reaction channels on You Tube !!! I love your energy and uplifting attitude
Thank you
Bruce Willis had a song in the 80's as well - "Respect Yourself"
Bruce Willis has a great voice Luna Blu, had forgotten that
Eddie Murphy was just having fun that day. I like the clap. 👏
I remember this video! Eddie Murphy is so incredibly talented. (He does sing a couple of songs himself in the Dolemite movie.)

How did I not know this was Eddie's song😮 I love him and I've heard this song a million times in movies
Omg yes! I love that someone reacted to this song! It’s a banger! 😎
I had the same reaction When i first heard this song by Eddie Murphy & written & Produced by Rick James
I didn’t know he sang either. Good choice!! Thanks for this bit of fun ❤️
Eddie wanted to work with Prince first but that didn't work out (because Prince did not work with people who "partied" too hard)...so he switched to Rick James who was happy to hear that Eddie didn't want to work with Prince.

He has never stopped singing. He has a TH-cam channel with all of his songs on it.
I knew about this song by accident and loved it. It’s catchy and so 80’s!!!
Rick James is not a one hit wonder which is why he is in this video. Try Rick James/Super Freak
I think he was saying that Rick James was producing it for Eddie Murphy. As for Super Freak....he needs to change it from she's a super freak to he's a super freak 🤨
Rick james so talented at writing those catchy hooks definitely knows how to get u in to the vibe Eddie Murphy nailed it on vocals too.👍👊
Lol. I forgot about Rick James in this! Lol. Love it!!!!
Huh! I never knew he sang this...always liked it👍
I discovered that Eddie could sing when I played GTA 5. It's one of the songs on the pop radio channel there. Loved it from the first time I heard it.
This was back when Eddie could read the phone book and people would throw money at him. He could do ANYTHING HE WANTED from 1982-1990. But the man is a generational talent. We were lucky he worked so hard and so much. You should watch every movie he made between '92 and '90, stand-up included.
Couldn't lose in those days with Rick James singing backup while running the soundboard at the same time, lol.
Tracey Ullman also had a one hit with a song called They Don't Know About Us
I have been wanting to see a reaction to that video! No one has reacted yet. Such a great video!
Well now that you've brought Rick James into it lol you should do super freak. Really great job tonight, alot of great songs...♡
LOL OMG I forget about this one. I have not heard this in forever! Written and Produced by Rick James and he also sang the background vocal.
Thank you sweetie we're playing my Eddie Murphy song I used to always request this at the clubs and dance my ass off thank you
One of my favorite songs from my clubbing days way back when. Great memories.
Eddy Murphy put out a stand up comedy album called "Raw" back in the 1980's. He sings two songs on that album. LYAO Funny!
Everyone waa surprised that Eddie could sing. He's very talented
Yes,agreed!
@@kimberlinibambini1988 Thanks!
Check out Superfreak by Rick James, the guy who wrote and sung party all the time with Eddie.
I listen to this song at least 2 times a day!
Just like will smith Eddie could do everything superb comedian actor and singer respect to this man what a tune loved it then love it now Jay...who knew the Beverly hills cop could sing this is brilliant 👮👮

I’ll check it out
Yes you did it! When someone suggested this the other week I couldn't get it out my head!
I remember this one! He had a good voice, I thought he’d make more 😁
Eddie Murphy started playing music at age 15, and at the time, was an aspiring musician.
It was a great song to go dancing to in the clubs.
Eddie Murphy can do it all!! WOW!!
So proud of Eddie when he did this song. Kick butt dance with sexy Rick!
When rick looks up from the console smiling......that shit is funny
It's a MUST hear...Eddy Murphy's song" Boogie in you butt," lol so funny

Wow, I had no idea this song was by Eddie Murphy. :)
Great dance song! He also sang some of the songs in movie Shrek! He can do it all!!!🥰
These two (Eddie and Rick) were the biggest partiers in the 80's. Rick lost everything due to drugs.
Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Eddie Murphy also sang in the Dreamgirls movie soundtrack
Eddie and Rick, killing it!!!
Never heard it before I liked it
When this came out my girlfriend had a 5 year old that used to sing "My girl wants to potty all the time, potty all the time, potty all the time"

Loved this song when it came out ❤️❤️❤️
This is one of my favorite song in 80's
Thanks to Dave Chappelle, every time I see Rick James I hear "I'm Rick James, b**ch!"
I was wondering where that came from
