This is one of THE most absurd, over the top quintessential, 80s videos ever! The break dancing, the dance/fighting, the guitar solo, glass breaking, the non-smiling femme fatale, the two hour hairdos… I freaking love it!!!
Footloose was released 40 years ago!! Bacon went to the high school where it was filmed. He looks great too. Just rewatched it last week, incredible soundtrack
As a mobile dj, when I throw this in the mix, im always amazed how fast the dance floor fills up, including young people asking me who is this by. Epic song
This is a great song..Howard Hewitt excellent singer Micki Free an excellent guitarist...And the lady did her best as well the was a huge hit and still sounds great today....
Used to dance to this in the clubs back in the day! Now only in my livingroom :-) Love it still.It never gets old ♥ Thanks for posting this one,this was when music was fun and good! ♥♥
SHALAMAR is one of the greatest soul bands in music history period! This classic track from 1984 shows there versatility with Micki Free killing it on guitar!
+April Krabe Purple Rain,Shaft,Superfly,& Saturday Night Fever but SNF was not specifically written for the Movie!You must be under 40 and White:) no offence!
Again one of my favorite videos! What a great band they made. Brings back such good memories. I remember being in HS and wanting to be in a video with them so badly. I would sing and dance to them all of the time.
I never put two and two together, so way back in the day. The transition between the albums "The Look" and "Heartbreak". At first I'm like, "That ain't Jody!?!?!" LOL "And who's that other guy?? That ain't Jeffery?" Needless to say, here's where all the gossip comes together revolving around Howard's "solo" career....with backup and what Shalamar originally was. It just ain't the same without Jeffery and my girl Jody. I use to watch Jeffrey and Jody on Soul Train, dancing. Back when TV's still had knobs, lol. They could do a hell of a line routine together. DAMN I'm old! LOL
Both Jody and Jeffery were both living in Englan at that time in 1984! Jody working as a session musco and later on in the year sing in charity single-Do they know Its Xmas. + Jeffery was in West End cast for Starlight Express! Must of known that after you saw that song as was said in loads of TV stuff. etc
Riding on an Amtrak train from Baltimore to NYC at 130 mph was the best first chance to hear this song. A DJ on the Baltimore 'Hot Hits' station said he '..didn't quite figure out who Dancin' in the movie is 😂....! .
I first heard this on the radio when I was in jail. After hearing this song I've been trying to find 80s music to a point where I saved (a list of, not the actual songs) every song that hit the pop, rock, soul, and dance charts in the U.S. as well as the U.K. pop charts
Who said, 'the saga continues...' at the start? Billboard's #92 song of the '84 survey year. God bless you, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!
As part of the Footloose soundtrack, just 40 years ago, this song peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. On that same week, "Let's Hear It for the Boy" by Deniece Williams, another song of the Footloose soundtrack topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks.
I caught you smiling I know I've seen you here before How come you're hiding? Hey don't you want to hit the floor? The place is crowded Or maybe you don't like the beat I got a two-track playing in my head So let me take you somewhere else instead Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends I want to take you where the night never ends I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets We feel the rhythm We've got the music on our side If we go with 'em I'll bet we'll have a wonderful ride Your hands are cold So maybe we could make some heat Love is always born on a chance So wrap around me and baby let's dance Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends I want to take you where the night never ends I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends I want to take you where the night never ends I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets Dancing in the sheets

And the Zorro costume for good measure...
If this video was shot in 2024, as soon as the fight started, everyone else would’ve had their phones out and on record.
#currentreality
Yes. Cheesyness with appeal.
Reminds me of the Billy Ocean video loverboy.
Had everything: zorro, prince knockoff, lord humongous, even the robot.
so glad i was an 80's child
amen brother
Me too!!!❤
It was great! Clothes and hair were not that good but God was it was a great time to be a teenager, and great music.
Me 2. ❤
Shalamar was sooo underrated...they made a lot of great dance songs back in the early 80's.
Never heard that bfor
Late 1970's into early/mid 1980's SHALAMAR Ruled DancePOP Rhythm and Soulful Dance FUNKY/BlackLatin Groove music-mix world..!
Um did they sing anything else?
To think of i😢had not bought the footloose tape in 1984 I would never have heard this
I only know 2 songs what else did they sing
Footloose and fancy free. 2024
Footloose 🕺💃🕺💃🪩
You can loop this song for 10 hours straight and I will not get sick of listening to it.
Me either ❤
Same here! It’s so good!!
Dancing in the sheets is an amazing song 🎶 🎸 Footloose was an awesome movie 🎦
I would agree with you best times in the 80's was just fantastic 😊
Yes! So was Flashdance. Lots of great music there too.
Playing it now
Footloose was released 40 years ago!! Bacon went to the high school where it was filmed. He looks great too. Just rewatched it last week, incredible soundtrack
Prince had the whole game shook back in the 80's.
There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
I get it~ boy do I get it....this song gave me that deep sense of nostaglia too and I yearn for those 80's days.
Bleep77 has got great taste in music 😎
Why I like to listen to it once in a while. Very well said.
Same here!
They played this all the time at the skating rink. I have memories of those times
Loved it then, love it now!! Mikki Free!! 💙
Shalamar was an awesome group!! Love them!
As a mobile dj, when I throw this in the mix, im always amazed how fast the dance floor fills up, including young people asking me who is this by. Epic song
Um, not so young too mate. 28 years later I am still dancing
Give it up people of today! The 80's had the best music.
Very talented ❤this song 🎵
Brings back awesome memories growing up x gen rocks
I sooo loved this song back in the day! Brings back great memories!
@ Douglas Brayden….. u are so right, dear sir!
Mannn I miss groups like this! Loved some Shalamar.
Wow great to hear this Love It❤
This is a great song..Howard Hewitt excellent singer Micki Free an excellent guitarist...And the lady did her best as well the was a huge hit and still sounds great today....
Micki Free was fine af!! 😛😍
@@cyn88true92 Oh hells yeah!!
1999 rip-off.....hope Prince got paid
He may have produced this song and others on this record.
It could be because Prince was really tight with Micki Free around that period.
Used to dance to this in the clubs back in the day! Now only in my livingroom :-) Love it still.It never gets old ♥ Thanks for posting this one,this was when music was fun and good! ♥♥
msstevie1951 Agreed....and I do the same! 😀👍
Ditto💃🏻
Yes when there were RAVES!!
I remember dancing to it also in the clubs!
The good old days I was a teenager in the 80s
This. Song. Is. Perfection. Thank You, Shalamar!
And, so is the video! Thanks, MTV!
SHALAMAR is one of the greatest soul bands in music history period! This classic track from 1984 shows there versatility with Micki Free killing it on guitar!
-1984- classic old school all the way!
Gen X:
"This is Doctor Johnny Fever of WKRP in Cincinnati. The hits of the 80s never stop and keep rockin to the hits."
Class track from Footloose!
You mean classic.
They still together some of them and touring now in essex dec !!
Footloose (1984), brought me here. A classic tale in which a hero (Kevin Bacon) rescues a town of people with sticks up their butts into dance.
"Who put the sticks up their butts? That's mean."
+velociraptor4you The er...parents "doh"
Caius I see.
"Its just a phrase."
Frank Conquest Jr is this song in the soundtrack????
Gen x rocks 😊
Footloose and Flashdance music tracks are some of the best of all time.
Robert V, you forgot Dirty Dancing and Top Gun!
+April Krabe Purple Rain,Shaft,Superfly,& Saturday Night Fever but SNF was not specifically written for the Movie!You must be under 40 and White:) no offence!
Not Top Gun. 🤢
I would throw Vision Quest in there as well.
@@Crayzeecatlady Why not Top Gun? There's "Dangerzone" "Take My Breath Away", "Heaven in your Eyes".
Again one of my favorite videos! What a great band they made. Brings back such good memories. I remember being in HS and wanting to be in a video with them so badly. I would sing and dance to them all of the time.
80's never gets old miss it alot
Fuera de este mundo Shalamar.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
80s were the best time in music
i agree!
Roberto Martin Amen!! 🤘🤘
Deffo!! No music like this today!! SO MUCH FUN!!!
Amen bro I'm a Gap Band man 1980-1988
LIKEWISE!
Loved dancing to this out in the clubs with friends in the 80's! Just good muisic ♥
Music not muisic.
Strait 80's at it's best!
Flashbacks to the clubs! Best time of my life!
Cool, very Kool 🤌
This was after Jody Watley left. Howard Hewett said she wasn’t shit without him and ended up being more successful that Shalamar ever was!!!!!
He had one hit song
Damn! Shalamar is bad axx!! They have so much energy!
Miki free dance moves were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Fine as hell!!
This was awesome!!
10-13-24 What a time to be a teenager in the mid 1980s 😎 😊📻 🎶 💃 🕺 🎸 🚘 🌴 🍷 💯 🎯
Love this video ❤❤❤❤
Always a Shalamar fan.
FABULOUS
What a nice and unforgettable time in 80's.
Shalamar hit #17 in Billboard, 5-26-84.
I never put two and two together, so way back in the day. The transition between the albums "The Look" and "Heartbreak". At first I'm like, "That ain't Jody!?!?!" LOL "And who's that other guy?? That ain't Jeffery?" Needless to say, here's where all the gossip comes together revolving around Howard's "solo" career....with backup and what Shalamar originally was.

I use to watch Jeffrey and Jody on Soul Train, dancing. Back when TV's still had knobs, lol. They could do a hell of a line routine together.
DAMN I'm old! LOL
Tv's still have knobs they're called MP's ,mainstream propaganda media (fake news),corrupt judges,police et al :)
Both Jody and Jeffery were both living in Englan at that time in 1984!
Jody working as a session musco and later on in the year sing in charity single-Do they know Its Xmas. + Jeffery was in West End cast for Starlight Express!
Must of known that after you saw that song as was said in loads of TV stuff. etc
Good seeing you guys on this morning. Way to go 👏👏👏❤️
Is that the same Art Deco building from the movie Xanadu? ✨
The late 70’s 80’s and early 90’s had the best music🎼💯
Unsung brought me here. Shalamar had three ultra talented artists in the same band.
Howard Hewett can sing anything and it sounds great. Underated song.
I remember this song from 83.
I REMEMBER TWAS ALSO ON FOOTLOOSE SOUNDTRACK
and its over 40 years now in 2024. Most of the singers in here are in their 60's and 70's.
I’ve always loved this song. Still do.
This song was so much fun in 1984 and still is in 2020!
The 80's were great, but when your my age the 60's and 70's were great. lol....Everyone loves the music from their own generation.
This is awesome,like going back in time! Thanks!! ♥
Riding on an Amtrak train from Baltimore to NYC at 130 mph was the best first chance to hear this song. A DJ on the Baltimore 'Hot Hits' station said he '..didn't quite figure out who Dancin' in the movie is 😂....!
.
I love the hair and clothes. Go 1980's!!!
msalis1 🤘🤘😀 Absolutely!!
Good times...
Shalamar thanknyou for this one God bless you and yours daily
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That lady looks like Rihanna in Unbrella video🥰
Excellent beat ! Excellent music! Classic!
Look at Jody and man look at that smile,,, a smile that melts the heart.
Very classic, I love this song!
One of if not the greatest era in music
I'm proud to be an 80s baby, but those handclaps are totally 80s!!! It goes well with the song!!! And that damn Howard Hewett is so damn sexy!!!!
Great groove.
One of my favorite club dancing songs back in the day ,Love it! Thanks for this post! I gotta dance! ♥
Kool Video and Song. How I miss the 80s !
What a great jam! One of the greatest dancing songs of all time. Sure brings back the 80's. Is that Mark Breland, the boxer in the video?
Music that makes you feel happy inside!
That guy can squeeze more feeling out of his guitar than 99% of the guitarist today.
One of my favourite jams
Another Fantastic Memory
I first heard this on the radio when I was in jail. After hearing this song I've been trying to find 80s music to a point where I saved (a list of, not the actual songs) every song that hit the pop, rock, soul, and dance charts in the U.S. as well as the U.K. pop charts
Me too
The 80tys was a cool time. The parachute pants hair, music. Just a cool time. I wish time machines existed
Love this song!
Great great times
I really liked to dance to this in the 80's and I still do in 2018! Still a cool and danceable jam!
Loved Shalamar, that incredible voice of Howard Hewett! This will never get old!
HOT Classic🔥🔥🔥
Who said, 'the saga continues...' at the start? Billboard's #92 song of the '84 survey year. God bless you, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!
Howard Hewitt said it.......
I miss the 80s to much !
Nice to know they were still putting out hits even after Jody Watley left the band! (If she was gone by the date of this video, 1984).
Miss Jody left in 83
The summer of '84 brought me back here.
As part of the Footloose soundtrack, just 40 years ago, this song peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. On that same week, "Let's Hear It for the Boy" by Deniece Williams, another song of the Footloose soundtrack topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks.
Great song, good rhythm, the best of Shalamar.
Footloose!
This is just awesome!
One of may favourite songs of the 80’s brilliant
I've loved this song since I first heard it way back when.
THE ULTIMATE MUSIC FOR BREAKDANCE IN 80'S....NICE MUSIC..
That song was my Jam, stayed on the radio when it came, summer 85❤
It was released in May 1984 not summer 1985...1984 was their very last year as Shalamar.
still going strong now fella@@bqkmg2037
Shalamar was a dynamic group !!
I caught you smiling
I know I've seen you here before
How come you're hiding?
Hey don't you want to hit the floor?
The place is crowded
Or maybe you don't like the beat
I got a two-track playing in my head
So let me take you somewhere else instead
Dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends
I want to take you where the night never ends
I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet
You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
We feel the rhythm
We've got the music on our side
If we go with 'em
I'll bet we'll have a wonderful ride
Your hands are cold
So maybe we could make some heat
Love is always born on a chance
So wrap around me and baby let's dance
Dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends
I want to take you where the night never ends
I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet
You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Grab your coat and wave goodbye to your friends
I want to take you where the night never ends
I feel the need to sweep you off of your feet
You and me, we should be dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
Dancing in the sheets
That look like the dude in Over and Over video sitting with Leon Sylvers. Leon wrote most of Shalamar music. Just a genius.
billboard top 100 1984.... great video!
their best song !
80s music forever
Makes me wanna get up and dance!
Old school 80's r the best....
Yeah...
