子供の時に初めて聞いた、とても斬新だった。
40年以上を経て大人になった今聞いても斬新で、子供の時感じた斬新さも蘇り、不思議な感覚である。
何コレ⁉️凄えカッコいいじゃん🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
分かってもらえる若い人がいて嬉しく思います。40年前はディスコサウンドが世界を席巻してました。ありがとうございます😂
What a damn voice! What a great group of talent...Nothing today can compare...💝
Fantastic song forever in my mind
Love this song! People tend to forget how amazingly experimental music was in the era of 1979-1984. So much great music of all genres being put out there.
1974-1979 very experimental as well in electro, funk and disco fields. A crazy race to grap new sounds. Each town or country has its own touch (munich sound philadelphia sound miami sound...).
YASSSssss l so agree they think it was all about Madonna , And Micheal Jackson oh no no no !
Hi yes I’m p
New Wave, Electric Boogie, & R&B Funk. ✌🏾😎🍷
So true...and I came along right on time. That 79-84 timeframe was the beginning of my musical exploration. By 84 (age 7) I was already singing and playing and songs like Twilight Zone, Sweet Dreams, Rock With You, Glamorous Life...I could list for days...were the songs that expanded my young musical palette.
当時大阪城ホールのコンサートで、この曲の時ゴジラの着ぐるみが出てきてメンバーの皆さんもおおはしゃぎされてました。
ゾクゾクするイントロ、素晴らしいハーモニー。
不世出のコーラスバンドだな。
いつ聴いても良い曲ですね。素晴らしいです。
好きな曲です
I couldn't agree more . I think ...
本当、デスコでフィーバーしたく
なるよねw
良い曲は時代を越えても、
古さを感じさせない物です。
懐かし過ぎます。80年代とその前後は洋楽黄金時代
What a song!! What a voice!! What a Group!!!
Masterpiece!
My Preteen Memories
And also there are amazing special effects in the video and stunning computer graphics.
I was 19 years old when this song came out.
You like em too!!
父にオススメされたのですが、もう好みド真ん中で直ぐに恋に落ちましたw
あのテレレレが、こんないい曲だったとは……😅
僕もテレレレって部分と同じ様な雰囲気の曲なんだと思っていたら、名曲が隠れていてビビりましたww
無気味さと軽快さのギャップが凄いね。
Still superb today, hasn't lost any of its great vibe, I had the 7" single way back, spun it to death. Had a feeling I'd find it here, thanks for posting!
Agreed. A truly timeless track from a supremely talented group.
My mom used to play this song in the car when I was little. Loved it! Good times!
Me too. Perfect for the 60th anniversary of The Twilight Zone.
Now that you're older you can play it
H S I bet your Mom was fun. She was probably my age. I can't believe I'm 61 now. Sometimes it seems like it was yesterday
my mom too!
I CAN JUST PICTURE HER GROOVIN HARD & YOUS LOOKIN @ HER LIKE "MOM??? YR JAMIN BUT CALM DOWN, & DON'T YOUS HAVE ANOTHER SONG 2 PLAY, YOU'VE PLAYED THIS LIKE, A THOUSAND TIMES ALREADY" PRICELESS. MY MOM & ME WERE NEVER ALL THAT CLOSE, BUT SHE DID DANCE & SING WIT ME A FEW TIMES
Summer 1980 for me. Oh and the roller rink.
Are we gonna just not mention the amazing Rod Serling impersonation and voice over..?!! Awesome Song!!!
At first glance I thought it was really him! 😳
That was Rod Serling.
@@charlesdavis545 pretty sure that was Alan Paul from Manhattan transfee
@@charlesdavis545 There's no way it was him. This video was shot in 1979, Rod died in 1975.
@@SmithBrotha It could have been a snippet used from an episode of the twilight zone.
有名なBGMの後が、日本のシティポップ的。ひょっとすると、この曲が日本のシティポップに影響を与えたのかもしれませんね。衝撃的ですね。
初めてブルーノートに行った時に、マンハッタントランスファーのコンサートを観ました(^^)
凄く良かったです！
ブルーノートってことは普段はこんな感じのちょっとふざけた感じじゃなくてジャズとかそういうのってことなんですかね？
スズコー さん
このTwilight Toneもその時歌っておりましたが、振り付けはプロモと同じ様な動きをされておりました(*^^*)
ふざけている様な印象は無く、年を重ねられたという部分もあるかもしれませんが、こちらを見るより大人しいイメージではありました。
ですが、愉快な感じも致しました(^^)
私もブルーノートのコンサートは
JAZZばかりかと思っておりましたが、そんな事も無く、ブルース等もやっており、結構幅広いんだな と感じました(^^)
プリンロール 語彙力が無くて申し訳ない、ふざけたら感じというとあまり良い言い方ではなかったですね。愉快な感じと言うべきでした。そうなんですね、ブルーノートにますます行ってみたくなりました
スズコー さん
いえいえ、変な意味では無い事は伝わっておりました(^^)
とても素敵な場所でした。
毎日色んなアーティストさん達が来られていますし、コロナが落ち着いたら是非行かれてみて下さい(⌒▽⌒)
Gosh this was such a fabulous song, such a terrific group, I still play their songs every once in awhile, I especially like Birdland. These times are gone folks, and I don't like whats replaced it. Someone commented on the myriad of genres that were created back in the mid to late 70s to early 80s, good times, good music.
Forgotten song of early 1980 ...😥
75-85 second only to 1965-75.
If you didn't like 'these times' 3 years ago then I bet you are well thrilled with them now...Not 😏👍
That girl makes the prettiest faces when she gives it her all while singing, I could watch her all day!
Cause she is the ish!!💚💛💜Janis "that girl"
間奏のギターがまたカッコイイんだよ♪
Great band class act and that guitar is awesome
Thank you
This video is too cool! This was the jam back in the day. This video reminds me of all the early 80's nu wave type video.
Just came across this vidio . Oh what fond memories of 1979 . Great voice Janis . Great group. Wonder what they are doing now . I’d go back to the music of the 1970 s tomorrow. Fab music era . Maureen
# BACK IN THE DAY. ! OUT OF SIGHT !
The Manhattan Transfer probably was in the MTV video era but they took this to a whole new level better than today's videos. ?
With a key, you unlock a door to imagination
Beyond it is another dimension
A dimension of sight
A dimension of sound
A dimension of mind
You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance
Of things and ideas
Guiding you through this wondrous journey
Is the hypnotic sound of the twilight tone
When I hear this melody
This strange illusion takes over me
Through a tunnel of the mind
Perhaps a present or future time, oh oh
Out of nowhere comes this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Pyramidal locomotion
From a mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Unpretentious girl from Memphis
Saw the future through her third eye
People came with skepticism
Picking, testing her precision, no, wo, oh, oh
Suddenly they heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
A signpost up ahead is calling
Through the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, feelin' the rhythm)
Hearin' the twilight
(Twilight swept away, ba da, loo da, ba da loo da)
Hearin' the twilight, twilight tone
Submitted for your approval
One Mr. Miller, who's about to take a trip
Into oddness and obsolescence
Through a zone whose boundaries are that of imagination
Accompanying him on this journey is the mesmerizing
Sound of the twilight tone
On a cold and rainy night
One Mister Miller had a rare flight
Glen was up there boppin' a rhythm
Then the engine stopped to listen with him play that beat, oh, oh
Suddenly he heard this sound
This melody that keeps spinning 'round and 'round
Now, he resides and plays trombone
In the mystic unknown zone
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Hearin' the twilight
(Hearin' the twilight)
Gracias Angela
Yet another classic, the lyrics of which I have thoroughly mangled for many years...;)lol. Thanks Angela
Thank you for posting the fantastic lyrics; I appreciate you🎤🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💯👍🏾
Thank you Angela for the lyrics 🙏
Thank you very much for the Lyrics!
I remember hearing this song played in clubs when I started going in late 1979. It was one of those that caused a mass stampede onto the dance floor. Janis Siegel has quite the voice and Alan Paul, while being extremely talented was also great eye candy.
This is crazy. The samples are big. At a time when sample technology was expensive. Plus when the song actually begins it’s actually really good. The Transfer never disappoints 👍🏽
not sure about that, its played not sampled. Samplers came later
The sampled version watch for: Jellybean - Twilight,
the unnecessary parts are cut out to make it more underground
Great solo and production by Jay graydon! Jeff porcaro on drums! Excellent tune!
Steve Lukather on guitar and David Hungate on bass also.
Chick?
Yes I love Jay Graydon as producer at tgar time he also produced Al Jarreau and of course many others
How I miss Tim Hauser. This is such a great song, one of my all time favorite dance songs! Manhattan Transfer was such an incredible vocal group! Every time I hear the theme to the show, I hear this song!
当時アメリカのテレビドラマであった「TWILIGHT ZONE」を凄く見たかったのですが、当然のようにレンタルビデオ屋とかも存在しない時代だった時にリリースされた曲がコレでしたね。
懐かしい。
I recall the first time I heard the tune on the radio. I was taken aback. Such a creatively written and produced song. Janis just took ownership of that lead vocal.
Did she!!!!
Excelente tema de los 70, tenía tiempo que no la escuchaba, super clásico, nunca pasará de moda.
Es de 1979, cuando jóvenes en USA se estaban contagiando sin saber de una nueva enfermedad que los mataría dos años después.
Still sounds fantastic after all these years, they don't make music like that any more.
The whole world has become a big shxt. Liars everywhere you look. Rainbow brainwasher ruining the young generation. The world is sick.
I bought this 12" and album (Extensions) at age 12 back in 1979 (!) - MT were so cool - and you know their space-age outfits were designed by a young Jean Paul Gaultier? Cool.
Gregg Mitchell 松田聖子
You’re just crying out to tell Gaultier, “It Gets Better!”
The shoes!
I have the 12" as well. I was 19 when this came out and would sneak into clubs. This song brings back great memories on the dance floor.
Oh wow! I love his men's cologne!
October 1979. The better times when i was growing up.
Haven't heard this in years! Great harmonies.
Lo mismo me sucedió ! años sin escucharla, recuerdos de cuando estaba en la secundaria
This is the very first time I've ever heard this!
I had NO idea it even existed. Thanks for introducing me to this!
Bridges generations with a tribute to Glenn Miller in the lyrics. "Cold and rainy night" "Mr. Miller had a rare flight" "now plays trombone in the mystic unknown zone".
Who is the "unpretentious girl from Memphis" in the second verse though? Is it supposed be a real person too? I could never figure that out.
近未来的な？演出で、国際救助的衣装やタイムトンネルを思い起こしますね？ボーカル最高です。
日本人いたんや
JFC, they got it in the 70s-80s, what a fabulous sound !!! Gosh I miss those years. Thanks for such a phenomenal clip !!!
ジェイ・グレイドンのギターソロ、めちゃめちゃカッコいいです🎵
同じく！👍👏
Luv her voice. This had to be a challenging song to sing and she nailed it
nailed it is the understatment when we hear this we are all in the TWILIGHT ZONE
THAT'S HER NATURAL VOICE, SHE JUST LET IT FLOW
Only Janis Siegel could carry such a song and make it her own.
yes just a powerful and strong diction voice one of my favorite songs of days gone by
Wasn't that Cheryl Bentene? I think this was her first album with the group. I thought I read that Janis had already left because of her accident.
@@cubdukat You’re thinking of Laurel Massé. She left the group in the 70’s after her accident. Janis Siegel is the lead vocalist on this song, and has been a current member of Manhattan Transfer for ~ 50 years. Sadly, the founder, Tim Hauser, passed away in 2014.
@@fredfungalspore aww I'm
She is great
Saw this concert in Spokane in 1980 or '81. That was a great pop/production sound period for the group, and yeah: Jay Graydon!
Everything Jay touched back then turned to gold!
Together with Toto men
I miss that little part of time when dancing was fun, going out was affordable,
and people enjoyed the variety of Disco, New Wave, Hair Rock and Punk.
An oldie and goodie. 😁
“Twilight Zone” and “I Never Really Knew What Love Was All About” are the only two Manhattan Transfer songs I like..
Mrs Siegel is one of the greatest female voices ever
極上のコーラスライン‼❤👍
Love ❤️ love 💕 love 💗 this and remember dancing 🕺🏻 to it at the disco in 1979 @ 21yo 😮
One of my all-time favorite disco songs! 😃
Thank you for posting this, I never knew there was a video for it!
Love this song love this group love this video thanks for posting
Sean Sherrod me tooooo
The "PENTATONIX" OF 1979....always loved their sound
How many of you remember pulling each other into the dance floors whenever this started Booming on those gigantic speakers!
Yeah...
When Music
Motivated us
To Move!
I always appreciated their swing music sound in the 70's but then when this song came out...I was floored!
Imagine, in 1979, to get the idea of making a tribute song to the Twilight Zone - a show that ended over 10 years ago, and wasn't about to be rebooted in a few years yet. And then do it, 'cause why not? That's why I love Manhattan Transfer.
A double tribute. The last verse is a reference to trombonist Glenn Miller, who was on a plane that disappeared without a trace over the English Channel in 1944.
Her take on every verse is different and interesting/exciting. Bends the melody all over the place.Fantastic.
ジェイグレイドンのGソロに痺れたモンさ😍
Drはポーカロだよね。
今聞いても、カッコイイなあ
The lead singer of this group posseses one of the greatest voices I have ever heard- male or female .
That would be the fabulous Janis Siegal.
I have this record in my collection
@@Boospoochie she was sooooo fine! 😍
aint that the truth janis siegal
Perfect enunciation whilst singing !
Man , loved this song! They use to play this in house mixes in the early 80's in Chicago! This was a jam!! Thanks for posting👍
I had the album. This song sounds great after all these years. 😊
It's always an infinite pleasure to listen to such beautiful voices! They turned any song into a masterpiece. ❤
Classic dance song. Still have this in my collection. Amazing how these were the days. Lots to remember. Like an afro, dancing, lots of friends just really good times. Not all the shit that happening now on earth. Will remember all these amazing songs.
Yes ✌️
Absolutely.
I HAD FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT THIS SONG!!!! AS SOON AS I SAW THE TITLE I HOLLERED!!!! This is one of the first songs I remember EVER hearing on the radio!!! I was two when this came out. I was scared of this song but loved it at the same time.
Got to see them many times over the decades, and while every time the music was different than the last time, each show was exquisite!
Just discovered this, from Italy, and i am gratefully and totally fell in love with this 😎😍thanks for posting!
Love this stuff. Peaked at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1980. A truly great and catchy, funky R&B/ post disco song and tune. Yes yes yes!
Only #30 so unfair as a result of discophobia on radio broadcasting
Saw this brilliant group at Pizza Express at Holborn in London last Thursday, they were awesome.
Love Manhattan Transfer!! Love this song ;)
I love to listen to this tune, what a incredible arrangement and the voices are so amazing!
In the 1970s, I loved it when this song came on the radio. What a respectful tribute to The Zone.
ここまでノリノリで歌ってたとは…
マンハッタントランスフ
これが80年代初期だからこの後からディスコかな?
うわあ懐かしいな、マンハッタン・トランスファー
日本ではサントリーのブランデーのCMで有名だったね、オシャレでスタイリッシュなコーラスグループだよ
Written by Jay Graydon and Alan Paul. Graydon plays the guitar solo. A prolific songwriter and session musician, Graydon also played the guitar solo on Steely Dan's "Peg," which is a hell of a story unto itself.
This is a great song, wild video, and Janis... well what can one say, except perfection!
I HADN'T PLACED HIS STYLE OF PLAYIN WIT THAT OF STEELY DAN, I NAMED MY 1ST BORN DAUGHTER AFTER THAT ALBUM 5MTHS B4 SHE WAS BORN, LEARNED HOW 2 JAM EVERY SONG ON THAT ALBUM, PLAYED IT SO MUCH HAD 2 GO & PURCHASE A 2ND COPY
Thank you for that bit of trivia. Those are two very different bands, and I like them both.
Add in JP Gaultier with the clothes design, what a team
As soon as I heard the intro, I recalled dancing 🕺 to this song back in the 80’s in NYC clubs it was 🔥 🔥 🔥. Thanks for the memories
I loved this song so much Manhattan Transfer I have this on CD now. I miss the 70s 80s 90s 2020 sucks!
It’s true
They were good days
2021 is awful 😞
jay graydon with the historic guitar solo
Wow. First time in like 40 years I'm hearing this. Love this song 🎵 ❤
Exceptional.
Spent and continue to spend way, way plenty of time in Binghamton NY, having graduated from Binghamton
University back in 1981. Continue to spend time here with friends, new and old, years later. The mystic qualities and surprises here unquestionably, undoubtedly gave Rod Serling, favorite son of Binghamton, solid ideas and much material for his series. May want to join the Rod Serling Memorial Foundation if you dig his program.
The other day I heard this song, probably for the first time since it was a hit in the UK in 1979, and I was aged 15. Just terrific! I was immediately transported back to my bedroom overlooking the hill sloping up at the back of our house on a Sunday, listening to the radio. The singing and harmonizations are simply superb. The video is of its day, but doesn't detract from the experience of the track.
I was well into Disco for several years at this point when this came out, but this was a game changer. There was a fusion of disco, punk, and pop that was happening around 1980, and this was one of the glorious results.
The way their voices,blend...it's surreal!!!
For some reason I always can picture myself driving through a particular intersection at night while listening to this song on the car radio when it was new…that would’ve been my 1978 Volkswagen Rabbit.
ツインリード作った人天才😱
Manhattan Transfer were a very talented foursome, these are the members when they were at their peak 👏👏👏👌✌️
TH-cam has been recommending good music completely new to me, finally the freaking algorithm is working 👍
A fantastic song. One of my favorites when it first came out and still is in 2021. We've all been in the Twilight Zone for the last year.
Охранительный диск Brasil, эти ребята... Я, от них, тащуссь... Спасибо.
for 1979 that guitar solo was pretty rippin'.
A couple years earlier the same guy (Jay Graydon) had cut the solo on Steely Dan's "Peg", legend says after 7 super pros tried unsuccessfully. Check it out! Great musician/producer
Whatta thrill to hear, and, see this (new) group perform in concert last night at The Grammy Theatre in LA. Thank you MT!
May you continue to work, and, please us for as long as you're able. Merci beaucoup!
Love this song
I love this song and you beautiful 😀
いいゾ〜これ
What a vocal performance! That voice can fill a Broadway theater, all the way to the last seat in the balcony.
That was a unique presentation. I just love the Manhattan Transfer. 😊
Jay graydon on solo guitar! Great song!
Guitar solo by Jay Graydon is a killer !
Co-wrote it as well!
もう30年以上前にパルテノン多摩でのコンサートを観に行きました。この曲は当然の如くアンコール曲でした。🎉
Absolutely fantastic!
イントロしか知らなかったけど、思ったより明るい曲で好き
I first heard this song in the spring of 1980. I liked the beat and the vocals not disco but more pop and danceable great guitar. The 80s was going to be great music for me going into my teens. Great times and. great memories.
What a fantastic beat and visuals from the class Manhattan transfer great song from the 1970s good to hear this again🎸❤️
Wow, I was in Middle School when this came out. I absolutely loved it.
