SweptAway529: Great minds think alike. This song is better than "Self Control" yet "Self Control" got tons of airplay and is the song for which Laura will always be remembered.
@@psychcorp4449 Self Control was huge, but so was Gloria - so perhaps the two most noteworthy tracks for her. According to wiki, the third and final single release from the Flashdance soundtrack was Lady, Lady, Lady. Maybe there were licensing issues between the record labels in releasing Imagination?
Remember seeing this movie first time it hit the theaters. Didn't realize then that the creativity and intensity of these dancing scenes would never be repeated. At least to me nothing ever since has made the same impact.
@@saltwatertaffy7020 Yes but Marine Jahan was dancing like this and had this style long before the movie...his Chjoragraphy was a part but Marine was the dance
They never gave the choreographer proper credit. People thought that was Jennifer Beales dancing. The wigs and open shots were great if they though that.
It's crazy for me to say this, I do now own this soundtrack on vinyl. All the songs in this album is very interesting, unlike all the crappier music they play nowadays. Records are slowly making a comeback.
ojcorn89 I was in third grade when Flashdance came out and the soundtrack was the very first record album I bought in my life with my own money. I vacuumed my entire house everyday for two months to earn the allowance to buy it and I remember how it exciting it was the day my mom took me to Tower records to finally get. It was my favorite album for years and my neighbor and I used to play it constantly trying to recreate the dance routines from the film. Good times! Wish I still had that album even though it would probably be too scratched up to play now.
I went to the 7 o’clock showing. I stayed thru the credits at the end of the movie. I was so memorized, I stayed in my seat for the next showing. ( you could do stuff like that back then.) Plus, the strobe light in the full theater was AMAZING!!
Made me wish I lived near Mawby's! Would have been there every night to watch this stuff! "Imagination" has always been my favorite scene and song from the movie. I actually have an old TV antenna just like the one in the scene.
Laura Brannigan sang the hell out of this song. She had such a powerful voice. This is quite a dance scene, that woman can dance. Artsy creative scene there.🎉
Hell of a movie. Top notch soundtrack and choreography. I was living in Pittsburgh when this was filmed. The actual French dancer was fabulous. I met her at Gimbel’s or Kaufman’s Department Store. Laura Branigan was the best vocalist for this movie.
I loved this movie as a kid this made me want to dance! I have the soundtrack to this movie and I miss the 80s Jennifer Beals was a star in this and this movie is a classic I also love the 80s b/c everyone was dancing in the streets and everyone was happy! Now everything sucks now! I hate 21st century! RIP Laura Branigan she was an icon!
I hear the amazing guitar riff because she air guitars to it in her dance.. Also notice the kabuki style, the flash and her shadow, dancing. Thanks for posting this video.
@@mireyavergara287 no, it was Marine Jahan doing the majority of the dancing. A man was used in the final number only to do the acrobatic and hip hop parts of the number.
Yes, but they did try to hide it with the white make-up. Which almost could have worked if they'd had the exact same body type, but they really didn't.
This was absolutely hands down her best song ever and the best track from flash dance ...this scene and performance was EVERYTHING & MORE ...was So ahead of its time
MARINE kills it but when the strobe lights hit .... OMG, it's Perfection. I wanted to become dancer because of this movie, Sweet Charity, Fame & Singin' in the Rain
I like this part up to those flashing lights. They're migraine inducing, which is such a shame because it would look so cool for those who don't suffer from these types of headaches. I can imagine that looking pretty cool in a theater. They light up my entire living room when I watch the film.
Laura Branigan an icon with this incredible song and the dancer was creative,unique, and so incredible. FLASHDANCE is a flashback to my great life now 56.
Her first dance with the splash theme, water everywhere, getting everyone wet, then the strobe lights, absolutely pure talent. Surprised that bar didn't catch fire, with all that commotion.,I've watched this movie on VHS , thousand of minutes, that the tape got worn out starting playing slower, thank goodness for the internet, so I can watch in hd.
This is Definitely one of my top all time fav movies and this sequence is by the best one in the movie. When I got the VHS tape i would turn off all other lights when the strobe light came on no matter who was in the room 😁😁
film.. visto e rivisto.. forse 500 volte.,,booo ci sono cresciuta! uno dei più belli che abbiamo mostrato cosa può essere la danza! Bellissimoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
1983 awesome yrs I graduated in 1985 loved this movie awesome sounds track still have the cassette for this and body double and Sliver does to awesome music 80s
Between the lights and the face paint this thoroughly creeped me out when I saw this as a kid in the 80s. It’s the only thing I remember about this movie.

Never understood why this wasn't released as a single - phenomenal song.
Better yet an official music video

I think it is because sometimes songs part of a soundtrack cannot be released in another album or even as singles.
one of my favorite scenes from this movie , it’s pure art 👏🏼

Agreed
Those were absolutely the fabulous days! I used to copy the dancing 💃 😂 🤣
@@Poetikaliz I wish I was a good enough dancer to copy anything like that:)
One of the best movie soundtracks ever
One of the most creative dance movies of all time in a classic it’s own. So original authentic and a time capsule into 80s pop culture
I love how the club owner comes out and shakes his head in disbelief. I also enjoy his reaction when the strobe lights go on! Pure gold!
a million times this. i laugh everytime xD
LOL!
Lol, it also gives you an idea of how each generation is a hypocrite 😂.
I wonder why they never put this on Laura's greatest hits albums. It sure was one of her best. Incredible vocals and guitar playing
It was never released as a single. That was probably why.
The choreographer deserves all the awards for this entire movies dance segments👍🏻
That Choreograpopher would be the one dancing in this video Marine Jahan
@@7thvenom the choreographer is named Jeffrey Hornaday.
@@saltwatertaffy7020 Yes but Marine Jahan was dancing like this and had this style long before the movie...his Chjoragraphy was a part but Marine was the dance
They never gave the choreographer proper credit. People thought that was Jennifer Beales dancing. The wigs and open shots were great if they though that.
Warning flashing lights may cause honryness.👺
So sublime. Loved the 80s soundtracks.
🤗🔥😉
The 80s was a great time with Flashdance, Footloose & Fame such good times with great friends and memories I miss those days
Great song sung by Lauran Branigan and this dance sequence is AWESOME. I love at the end when the guitar solo kicks in.
That dancer was phenomenal. At least, she got some credit years after the movie release.
L❤ve this song...one of the best sdtk from the 80s...oh I miss the 80s so much
The rips in the guitar ughhhh I live for this song. Laura sings it soo good!
Same to u bro
True!
One of Laura Branigan's best songs. RIP Laura :(
One of the BEST music performances... LOVE always Laura
I so agree. Laura's best.
Rest in Peace, Songbird
I didn't know that was Laura. Doesn't sound like her to me. All I know is self control. I listen to that with the Miami vice trailer behind it.
This song should have been a hit. Will always love Laura's music!
Possibly the best dance scene I've ever watched in a movie. Way ahead of it's time.
No no hay sin palabras solo

@@karenabsadie this reminds me Of the good old days.. Good Times.
Take care 🍀
80's GOLDEN AGE.
This scene is everything! So simple but at the same time so modern and effective !
I love 80s music..😊
If there is one song that showcases Laura's vocal talents, this one is it. Tremendous!
I went to the 7 o’clock showing. I stayed thru the credits at the end of the movie. I was so memorized, I stayed in my seat for the next showing. ( you could do stuff like that back then.)
Plus, the strobe light in the full theater was AMAZING!!
Fantástica essa coreografia 👏👏👏😍 flashdance amo muito tudo isso ♥️
Says a lot about what television does to the psyche… symbolic masterpiece & thank you Laura for the music 💜
i LOVE everything about this movie!One of my favorites!!!
Manhunt and Imagination are fav numbers
Mine too. I still have this soundtrack and love it.
Made me wish I lived near Mawby's! Would have been there every night to watch this stuff! "Imagination" has always been my favorite scene and song from the movie. I actually have an old TV antenna just like the one in the scene.
Mawbys was ur fantasy 😂
they should do a "Flashdance" play! and recreate all the really cool dance numbers.
what do yous all think?
A Flashdance musical premiered in the UK back in 2008 and toured the US for a few years but never hit Broadway.
Yeeesssss
That was awesome! Very well done. Brought back memories especially of the late Lara Branigan.
I remember watching this as a little girl, amazed by all the dancing! It's still one of my Top 10 Favorite Movies!!😍
The Soundtrack alone for this movie made millions.
The Song LADY LADY LADY still puts me in a trance today in 2024. 🥰😍
Laura Brannigan sang the hell out of this song. She had such a powerful voice. This is quite a dance scene, that woman can dance. Artsy creative scene there.🎉
Hell of a movie. Top notch soundtrack and choreography. I was living in Pittsburgh when this was filmed.
The actual French dancer was fabulous. I met her at Gimbel’s or Kaufman’s Department Store. Laura Branigan was the best vocalist for this movie.
Are you sure it wasn't Horne's, lol!
Fabulous. Pure 80's. Great watching the DVD with the lights off fir this track, the strobe sequence is great.
By far my favorite Laura Branigan song.
fave scene from the movie
KarmaLaya Goldenrule
KarmaLaya Goldenrule when I was a kid i use to practice this scene its just so awesome to have an imagination 😍
Watching Flashdance now, this was one of the best scenes & song to me!!! A classic like this movie never gets old. ❤
I still get such a kick outta Jakes facial expressions! 😂
True artistry, choreography and imagination. 🤗🤟🏽
Flashdance was about the Music and the Dance !!
Flashdancers appreciate this with true dancing Pash!!!
Great album. Lots of videos. Great memories.
I loved this movie as a kid this made me want to dance! I have the soundtrack to this movie and I miss the 80s Jennifer Beals was a star in this and this movie is a classic
I also love the 80s b/c everyone was dancing in the streets and everyone was happy! Now everything sucks now! I hate 21st century! RIP Laura Branigan she was an icon!
AMEN! I miss the 80’s
Oh come on. Get out of your fantasy world.
Nuh, man, I need fantasy, ya know!
i love this dance number and i never get tired of watching it!
This film really defines the spirit of the 80s, this film is the 80s💙
2018, and I still watch this. My favorite scene. The Flashing lights is Everything🙌🙌🙌Got to luv the 80's.
Blow me away completly ever dance scene in this movie. I still love them.
I hear the amazing guitar riff because she air guitars to it in her dance.. Also notice the kabuki style, the flash and her shadow, dancing. Thanks for posting this video.
I love the 80's ❤
Pure magic! She that power in her voice. That you can feel the words on the song.
Αγαπημένη ταινία, παίζει να την έχω δει πάνω κάτω 40 φορές...
who's listening still in 2020? I wanted to be Jennifer Beal when I was little
Saw Flashdance on Cinemax Asia. Darn only got the last part.
Except the dancer here isn't Jennifer Beal. Body double.
me !!!
same!!!
Jennifer Beal used a body dancing double for all the dance scenes
My gosh, I loved this song so much. Miss you Laura B.
Grew up listening to this soundtrack and watching this awesome movie. Jennifer Beals is such a hottie.
CitySkin09 This is a dance double!
This song & dance sequence is amazing! This song didn’t get a lot of air play on the radio great song!!
It did on mine!
So, in the movie that was supposed to be Jennifer Beal's character dancing but it's obviously not her.
A lot of the scenes it was a man doing the dancing.
@@solatiumz a man??,
@@mireyavergara287 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Legs_(dancer)#Career
@@mireyavergara287 no, it was Marine Jahan doing the majority of the dancing. A man was used in the final number only to do the acrobatic and hip hop parts of the number.
Yes, but they did try to hide it with the white make-up. Which almost could have

Esse Filme é muito Top ❤️ Uma História MARAVILHOSA ♥️
One hell of a performing club. Loved that!
Jennifer Beals dance double is an amazing dancer.
Wow... its in your pocket when you really really love it when your fantasy... becomes reality...2020. Imagination. Love it.
Visual and music from above
My mom had this soundtrack when I was growing up and I used to love listening to it.
This is true dancing and choreography 💁
PERFEITA!!! LINDA!!! A MELHOR!!
This was absolutely hands down her best song ever and the best track from flash dance ...this scene and performance was EVERYTHING & MORE ...was So ahead of its time
Flansdance la mejor película de los 80s y 90s y la música,,,uuuffff USTEDES DIRÁN !😉👌🇲🇽
Brilliant idea having the dancer wearing kabuki make up for this scene: no one knew it wasn't Jennifer Beals at the time.
pup lover Marine Jahan was the dancer
huh, yeah we did? what chu talking about? since I been watching this at the age of nine, everyone from that eighties age followed that...
Not only that, the final scene at the dance studio, the dancer was really a man!!
Daniel Pena... the breakdancing part was a man...
pup lover I was soooo hurt!lol
2:16 ... wow, something wonderful at the 80s
😂😂😂 You gotta walk through that fire IT WILL NOT BURN U!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😂🎉
MARINE kills it but when the strobe lights hit .... OMG, it's Perfection. I wanted to become dancer because of this movie, Sweet Charity, Fame & Singin' in the Rain

Always loved this song. Makes the video even more to love. And also my favorite part of the movie. If they only did this with Seduce Me Tonight.
May 19, 2020....Watching show Paradise Hills again! The best! Love the show!
Época em que para um artista ser completo, precisava, além de atuar, cantar e dançar.
This is the best dance routine and special effects scene in the whole movie. Awesome presentation!
Laura Branigan an icon with this incredible song and the dancer was creative,unique, and so incredible. FLASHDANCE is a flashback to my great life now 56.
awesome affect from this!
Is this the French gal who was Jennifer's dancer body double?
Best song on a soundtrack full of them. The dance, the tune, and Laura’s voice fit together perfectly.
Her first dance with the splash theme, water everywhere, getting everyone wet, then the strobe lights, absolutely pure talent. Surprised that bar didn't catch fire, with all that commotion.,I've watched this movie on VHS , thousand of minutes, that the tape got worn out starting playing slower, thank goodness for the internet, so I can watch in hd.
My favorite scene in this over the top dance movie! 🌈✨🕊️
I love the way america created the great 80s...they ruled and hence hollywood.
This is Definitely one of my top all time fav movies and this sequence is by the best one in the movie. When I got the VHS tape i would turn off all other lights when the strobe light came on no matter who was in the room 😁😁
"i'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours!"
On top! Insene step.
This is my favorite part of the movie#!
This scene just slays. Period.
Love Flashdance!!!!!!
film.. visto e rivisto.. forse 500 volte.,,booo ci sono cresciuta!
uno dei più belli che abbiamo mostrato cosa può essere la danza!
Bellissimoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So punchy! Such great call-and-answer from voice to guitar. Shades of David Gilmore in the guitar work...
Wickedest dance scene ever!!!!!
this is laura branigan singing this in case anybody wants to no
+Gary Wright She was great....Thanks
RIP
1983 awesome yrs I graduated in 1985 loved this movie awesome sounds track still have the cassette for this and body double and Sliver does to awesome music 80s
