I know this comment may not even be read, but I still thank you Mint Royale, for all of those times that Singin' In The Rain and all of your other songs have been an influence on my life, and how you have always been there for me. Thank you, just thank you.
damn its 2008, I've finished school, I've rushed home, I'm on msn whilst playing runescape, mum is cooking dinner, life has no stresses, and i'm gonna do it all again tomorrow
This song is truly a work of art, George Sampson turned this song into something that should be recognised, it’s so nice to hear in 2024 fresh clean song.
@@ToastedWafflez Can confirm, also. I threw away a little too much trash, it became Queen, and it's now playing Brighton Rock as I'm trying to run away from it...
I remember having this on my crappy nokia when i just started high school as a shy confused little boy, its actually insane listening to this 24 years old, such a banger man.
This is one of my all-time favourite tracks. I still remember hearing the short version in the VW advert and really enjoying it, then was so pleased when you released this full version!
One of the bangers from early 2000s! very original how they chose to remix such an old classic from a 50s musical, when the beat kicks in after the "dodleydoo" intro , it shocks you and with the bells chiming, and how they chose to repeat just the lines "I'm reeeeaaady for love" and "have a smiiiiiile on my face..." it's like they transported that song into this decade. Love the video too.
I continue to thank George Sampson for bringing this BANGER to my attention. Literally last week I watched Singin In The Rain for the first time ever, and absolutely LOVED it and have rediscovered this song xxx

I remember dancing to this in my bedroom on a weekend as a teen, love this song, brings back good memories :D Absolute banger.... still playing in 2023
For some reason I saw the old VW advert, with this song and what a tune, can’t believe this is actually your channel with it-very cool I’ll be following you from now on haha
I get the cliché of saying something is often underappreciated or underrated but damn this song is nowhere near recognised enough. The song is sick; really dancable, memorable, well made and generally just super clean. Massively hope Mint Royale find much larger success, be it with new or old work.
I totally forgot about this song and Spotify brought me here after it popped up in my weekly discovery. Fantastic song and video. I had a feeling a song with this type of video existed. Needs to be published more.
This song gives me some sort of inspiration I can't describe. Perhaps it stems from the chills I get in that George Sampson video of him dancing to this song. Either way, this song is absolutely timeless and will always play a big part of my life.
Storytime. When this first came out in 2008 and George Sampson danced to it in the BGT finals, it was the most inspirational thing I had ever heard or seen. I was six years old. I did tap and ballet at the local dance company about 5 minutes away from home every Saturday morning before 9AM. It was my first real passion, the first talent I had. I performed at theatres and in front of an actual audience, and I was happy. Then J.S. came along. I won't name and shame him, but he was another six year old in my class. More importantly, he was one of the reasons why I crushed my dreams of being a dancer and threw them away. I was no longer 'just a kid who wanted to dance'. I was girly, gay, stupid etc... whatever else he called me. I was strange, as a boy, for liking the colour pink. I was teased for going to school with painted that I let my sister do. Everything I did that was 'feminine' or relating to dancing, pink, or ballet was wrong. It hurt. It really hurt, and now, 15 years later, it hurts the most because I don't dance professionally anymore. J.S. relentlessly bullied me to the point that I CONVINCED my parents to stop taking me to dance classes, full stop. Never again. I dropped all my passions and aspirations for what someone else, and society overall, labelled as 'wrong' for a young boy to like. I was a victim of the societal pressure to not act like a 'girl' and toxic masculinity. Yes, I know some of you HATE that phrase, but it's real, look it up. I stopped dancing because of him. I don't 'do dance' anymore. In early January 2021, I was sat on the bus on the way to the beach to chill and do some reading, when I remembered this song. I started to play it, thinking it would be a cute nostalgia trip, but no. Holy fuck. It brought up all the emotions I felt at six years old, all at once. I left the bus looking like a mess, avoiding eye contact while trying to wipe my tears. I forgot just how much I loved dancing. In that moment, it all came back to me as a reminder that it was my strongest passion, my strongest talent. I still like the colour pink. I still fucking hate J.S. The only thing that's changed is I'm passionately gay and instead of dancing, I write poetry. This whole experience led me to write a piece for my first self-published anthology, '18 MONTHS'. Basically, hearing this fills me with both pure sorrow and joy and takes me back to that time in my life. It's 2008, I'm six years old again, doing tap and ballet on Saturday mornings at 9AM. I'm watching George Sampson in the BGT finals while this song is playing. I like dancing. Life is good.
Sorry to hear that. I ironically had a similar issue but not in relation to dance or anything, but I had a passion for football and loved playing it. But some people just made the experience miserable, I look back on it and I’m pretty sure I spent 99% of my time playing with a borderline panic attack 😂 I was just so desperate to prove people wrong I forgot why I played in the first place. As I’ve gotten older, I realize that inadvertently, you gain an immense amount of perspective for being harassed out of a passion. Note how you saw it as a simple case of toxic masculinity, yet football is the most popular mens sport in the world and I still ended up in the same situation as you. It’s too redundant, and makes it seem like this “J.S” kid was just acting natural based on your decisions, when it was actually just his inherent personality; being a twat. But now that you’re older, you can see that these kinds of toxic people are inevitable, and it makes you care a lot less about being negatively perceived. You might feel like you “missed” a lot, but you couldn’t have pretended to not care from the start; you have to go through it to realize that their opinions truly aren’t worth caring about. This lesson can be applied to all areas of life which wouldn’t have been possible otherwise. Hopefully I made some kind of sense, I’m not saying your negative experiences were a good thing, but rather you shouldn’t feel alone nor regretful about how you reacted. Take care bud
@@XXXTENTAClON227 Omg XXXTentacion lives again!!! Lmao jokes, but yeah, I realise I'm definitely not alone in my experience. Sorry to hear about your experience with football. I've learnt with telling people I write poetry and spoken word performances nowadays, they fall into two sides. One reaction is, 'holy shit, that's so cool. I'm glad you're confident in pursuing a creative passion'. and the other is very much, 'okay, how does that benefit society in any way? Why don't you become a *journalist*?" (because ofc if a creative passion becomes your job ,it has to benefit capitalism in some way or another 🤪). It's really all about the art of not giving a fuck.
That`s sad to hear. I had interests as a kid (swimming, collecting football stickers etc) that i enjoyed and got bullied for some reason, it`s sad it has to happen. I hope you are living a good life now. Hopefully JS is miserable, you never know maby he is gay also now and lashed out as he couldn't comprehend it ?
I was introduced to this amazing remix via Volkswagen commeecial that featured the OG utterly amazing dancer David Elsewhere. He was phenomenal and really brought another level to this bewuridul track. Xx
I discovered this remix through enjoying other Mint Royale songs, and then tonight I finally went and watched the original version. It's weird how it has so many more lyrics than the few included in this remix, but I usually prefer instrumental music anyway so I actually prefer the remix.
i must of looked at this video about 1 month ago and couldnt believe it went up to just 240p, cant believe its now 720 for what i expect millions to see!
this is possibly the most nostalgic song ever made imo
up there with nosebleed section - hilltop hoods
True
yup lol partially because it is a remake of a song way back from the 50s. that helps the nostalgic element.
Plus now its own nostalgia. Meta nostalgia.
I am 24 now and this makes me feel like a kid again. THANK YOU for making this. Heres to another ten years. God bless
Thankyou!

The first time I ever heard this was that wild VW commercial with CGI Gene Kelly. That commercial was ahead of its time!
The crazy part is that the only CGI was the overlay of the face to the real dancer who performed it. David elsewhere was the dancer.
damn its 2008, I've finished school, I've rushed home, I'm on msn whilst playing runescape, mum is cooking dinner, life has no stresses, and i'm gonna do it all again tomorrow

Moral of the story: clean up your garbage or it will gain sentience and dance aggressively at you

I have found any and all trash clean up is required, otherwise dancing trash is on the streets, and there is dancing trash feudalism in the dumps.
That's the message of the video for sure
