Aired July 5th 1986 from "Starbright (1): Falling Star". I went too far on the bass with this one, I have fixed but I don't want to upload another video.
Of course, all the sequences a well drawn and that makes the song more appealing, the visual result plus the song makes it an outstanding from that trilogy of episodes, note that Pizzaz earings look like Jem's in some frames...
This actually slaps. The reason villains songs hit so hard is because they are incredibly cathartic. The lack of shame, remorse or any inhibition that tells you not to do something, the feeling that goes "fuck it. I am the best and ill get whatever i want and do whatever i want"
Just like rock songs in real life. What's not to love? I've always thought Lzzy Hale or someone could do a complete album of Misfits covers. They're solid rock tracks!
Jem and the Holograms for the most part had great animation for its time! I really admire the effort. And like the comment above says it was done in Japan by Toei Animation! Although 5 episodes (the ones with horrible animation, like the episode "Video wars") are done by a Korean Studio, I can't find any information on them though.
Yeah, the original miniseries animation wasn't that great, but when the first season was greenlit for production, they had a much bigger budget and it REALLY shows.
No such thing as too much bass. Beside the lyrical comparison of Pizzazz's ego and celestial bodies, the bass line in the Halley's Comet part is what makes this song. Also important to note that this was the first episode not to end with a Jem song in Act III.
I like how Stormy and Roxie's choreography! The animation was just a second slow, but you can tell whoever choreographed these music videos had real skill! Can you imagine this being made today?
This is hot! One of my favorite songs out of the entire show. (i haven't heard anyone use the term DAT in YEARS...man, taking them tapes to studios and live shows back in the day...lol now an entire performance set can be on someones cell phone, time keeps marching on)
The misfits songs are actually more better than Jem's. It's catchy and it sounds good. I mean, I know they're messages for most songs are....NEGATIVE. But their songs are still good.
Just because the message is better does not mean the songs themselves are better. And it depends on taste. Jem's songs are more pop, The Stingers more rock, the Misfits more...punk. And I like pop, but I like the Misfits songs so much more than the Holograms'.

LOVED this Misfits jam when I was kid in the 80s, love it as an adult in 2022!!! Cool animation to accompany the lyrics too! I personally prefer Pizazz's voice to Jem's.
Someone said in the comments that this is The Misfits best song, I think Congratulations To Me is #1 but is by far my #2! Either way, The Misfits music was technically meant to be looked at as selfish, self centered and less meaningful than J &H’s however I always disagreed with that idea. J & H’s music was positive, uplifting, flirty, girlie and communicatory. But back then some decades ago I always felt empowered by The Misfits music and felt encouraged to put me 1st! When I was in college I used this song for a campaign female empowerment project for a class and won! J &H writers were phenomenal and I commend them even though I don’t know them. Universal Appeal and Congratulations To Me should be female anthems in today’s world!!
I might use this in an episode of Brianna’s Truly Outrageous Adventures with Jem where we go to a planetarium. The working title for this might be “Spaced Out and Star Struck”.
at 00:45 It never occurred to me when I watched this show as a pre-teen that some of the scenes in the music videos could be a little far-out for younger viewers. No kid watching would have expected their vision to be hit straight-up by that close-up shot of Pizzazz's "bust"!

anyone else in love with the animation quality here

Better than the video that habro did for the songs
+Herson Garcia "all the sequences a well drawn and that makes the song more appealing" ... would you say the animation's got... universal appeal? :D
Back to 80th
Nothing beats old school cel animation.
This actually slaps. The reason villains songs hit so hard is because they are incredibly cathartic. The lack of shame, remorse or any inhibition that tells you not to do something, the feeling that goes "fuck it. I am the best and ill get whatever i want and do whatever i want"
Agreeeed!!! I love this tune. The moon overtaking the sun!
Pizzazz being a titan with everyone else spinning around her, and singing about being utterly awesome is just fantastic
Just like rock songs in real life. What's not to love? I've always thought Lzzy Hale or someone could do a complete album of Misfits covers. They're solid rock tracks!
i totally agree!! the freedom of going "yeah, i'm selfish" and following your desires is kinda awesome
The best Misfits song. Empowering, universal and bold. Everything I need.
This and Designing Woman!
Love this song!!!
And "Top of the charts"!
The animation also!
I actually agree with you on this one.
When says "In my own mind's eye, I am the sky, so why should I be shy?" Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥
my God! the animation in this video was so ahead of it's time!!
I was just thinking that love this
it was animated by a japanese company so it explains a lot!
Jem and the Holograms for the most part had great animation for its time! I really admire the effort. And like the comment above says it was done in Japan by Toei Animation!

Faullks I think that studio was AKOM. The same thing happened with Transformers.
There is no greater monument to Pizzazz's ego than this song. :P
"HOW DOES IT FEEL" is her song hands down .
FaytLinegod lmbo
Also, "I am a Giant" and "Top of the Charts"! :)
I'm A Giant
@@signalsoldier I was thinking that song too lol! And "Congratulations to me".
No such thing as too much bass. Beside the lyrical comparison of Pizzazz's ego and celestial bodies, the bass line in the Halley's Comet part is what makes this song. Also important to note that this was the first episode not to end with a Jem song in Act III.
I did too much on this one. Interesting note about song placement, I never noticed.
just for it for it spin for a few seconds i know its their job but i feel bad for who ever had to paint that whole universe background
This song rocks! And it was also the only misfits song used on a Jem doll cassette tape
RetroGirl85 I've been playing it on repeat for days now. 😂😂😂😂
You're totally right about the bass line! love itttt!
Listening on April 8 2024, the day of the the eclipse. Seemed appropriate.
Wish these songs were on spotify:(
Same
NO BC IM SO MAD THAT THEY AREN'T
OMG SAME
Not just the best Misfits song. This was the best song in the entire series. I will die on that hill.
Can I join you on that hill?
I dunno, I consider Designing Woman to be a better song. At least we agree the Misfits have the best songs.
@@slowmoe1686 you are truly a person of culture for even saying this.
The musical arrangement and vocals are off the charts... One of the best songs of the series
Totally in love with all of the Misfits' outfits in this MV,especially Roxy's.
With some adjustments, you could wear them today.
They really are pretty cool. I love them all, especially that Cape thingy hanging off of Pizzaz's jumpsuit
Today is eclipse day and I had to hear this again
This is the best song in the entire series. HANDS DOWN!
the fashions are totally and truly outrageous!
0:50- 0:55 I LOVE the way they sing those few lines
Lailah the cat omg my favorite part too, I thought it was just me. love the way she says "i got"
Me too! Best part of the song :D
Lailah the cat same
I like how Stormy and Roxie's choreography! The animation was just a second slow, but you can tell whoever choreographed these music videos had real skill! Can you imagine this being made today?
*puts on 100% volume and loop*
Same OMG
I remember watching Jem as a kid and always looking forward to the moments when the Misfits got to do a video. Songs like this prove why! :)
This is hot! One of my favorite songs out of the entire show.
(i haven't heard anyone use the term DAT in YEARS...man, taking them tapes to studios and live shows back in the day...lol now an entire performance set can be on someones cell phone, time keeps marching on)
Galaxy? Uh Pizazz. Your Ego is it's own Universe at this point.
When I was a kid, this was (prob still is) one of my favorite Misfits songs.
This bassline feels so big as if the whole universe and all its planets was thrown at you.
Pizzazz’s’ in the beginning when she said “Ahhh”
💥👁👄👁💚
Is it me or the animators had a bit of fun in this clip? To my eyes the animation and timing feels better than usual...
Their outfits are actually pretty cool, too
I listen to this every morning while getting ready, and let me tell you its a great way to start your day
One of my fav Misfits songs! TY!
This is my childhood LOL
The thing i always loved about this show is that not a single character has a hair color that exists in nature! As a child i was fascinated by that.
Except jerrica she was a blond...before
@@crisvanfan Even most blonds aren't natural. Jerrica probably has a box of Clairol hidden somewhere in her house! lol
The Misfits got everyone flying around. I like the way Roxy and Stormer integrate with some dance-moves at the end
I love this song :)
Animation and music are top notch in this one. And the lyrics just fits Pizzazz's ego. A cosmic song!
Totally the best Misfits song :D
aerialpunk that's a big statement. There are just too many great songs of theirs.
Ok 0:07 the WAY THEY MADE HER MOVE LIKE THAT amazing
The nostalgia I got from this-😭😭
This and "Lovesick" were my favorite songs from The Misfits out of the entire series.
Has been and always will be my favorite Misfits song!
Some of the best Misfit animation made and probably one is the best songs from the cartoon series!
I rewatched this hundreds of times over the years
The misfits songs are actually more better than Jem's. It's catchy and it sounds good. I mean, I know they're messages for most songs are....NEGATIVE. But their songs are still good.
+Jordan Allen Yah i enjoy The Misfits songs more. But the fact that you typed "more better" irritates me a little.
+Jordan Allen no Jem's songs are better than the Misfits' because Jem's songs have a positive message
eh. That doesnt exactly make it a better song.
Just because the message is better does not mean the songs themselves are better. And it depends on taste. Jem's songs are more pop, The Stingers more rock, the Misfits more...punk. And I like pop, but I like the Misfits songs so much more than the Holograms'.
+Angela Mishler Well put! That explains why I love the Stingers and the Misfits but never cared too much for Jem. I'm a punk rock girl all the way.
Song stuck in my head all day, I need help. 😵💫
My favorite misfits song! 😩😩 Pizazz is my wife fr and the animation is so good here
I love this Misfits song and it's my favorite ! I love Pizzazz in this outfit she looks so great !
To be fair, they did tell us repeatedly tell us that their songs are better
kudos to these singers so talented
This song was on my mind this morning
Universal Appeal Lyrics:
It's a total eclipse
The moon's over taking the sun
It's a total eclipse
We're coming to grips
You'll be left in the shadows
When I get done for I'll have
Universal Appeal baby (Universal Appeal)
Universal Appeal (Universal Appeal)
Hettas comet has nothing on me (nothing nothing) But I'm the brightest star in the galaxy
Universal Appeal baby (Universal Appeal)
Universal Appeal (Universal Appeal)
I keep growing bigger each day
Soon I'm going to outshine the milky way
In my own minds eye I am the sky
So why do I be shy for I got
Universal Appeal I got universal Appeal
Universal Appeal I got universal Appeal
Universal Appeal I got universal Appeal
Universal Appeal I got universal Appeal
Universal Appeal
This is my favorite post Danzig Misfits song
Why do I still love this...
Oliver Kind because it's fabulous !
Watching this on Eclipse day.
How is this such a fucking bop this is amazing
LOVED this Misfits jam when I was kid in the 80s, love it as an adult in 2022!!! Cool animation to accompany the lyrics too! I personally prefer Pizazz's voice to Jem's.
My favorite Misfits 🎶
The Misfits were great musicians too.
If I have a favorite Misfits song, it's this one.
They really did have some jams! Makes me want to watch the cartoons again 🤣
There is nothing cooler than this in the universe of cartoon and vintage doll/toy collecting.
Wow The Misfits. Yes they have universal appeal in my opinion. Funny how the others are spinning.
Every song by The misfits put out was bangers
And this is one of their Best (if not Their Very Best).
0:48 that part is so good!
0:50 my favorite part of the song
Zazz wasn't lying when she said her music was better!
Forever in my playlist
God I love the music for this cartoon!
Obsessed with this song! Thank you Mitigating for keeping our thirst quenched with master tape versions of these Misfits and Jem songs. You’re a hero!
Here from 2024 Eclipse
I just love this song!!
Damn these remaster sound amazing, keep'em coming! :D
Someone said in the comments that this is The Misfits best song, I think Congratulations To Me is #1 but is by far my #2! Either way, The Misfits music was technically meant to be looked at as selfish, self centered and less meaningful than J &H’s however I always disagreed with that idea. J & H’s music was positive, uplifting, flirty, girlie and communicatory. But back then some decades ago I always felt empowered by The Misfits music and felt encouraged to put me 1st! When I was in college I used this song for a campaign female empowerment project for a class and won! J &H writers were phenomenal and I commend them even though I don’t know them. Universal Appeal and Congratulations To Me should be female anthems in today’s world!!
yeah this is one my favorite Misfits songs net to Outta my way.
I love this song.
Today's a total eclipse (04/08/24)...the moon's overtaking the sun...LOL.
One of my fav misfit songs!!!!
Brings back memories of my childhood 😊
Truly Outrageous!
Reaaaally love this song❤
I might use this in an episode of Brianna’s Truly Outrageous Adventures with Jem where we go to a planetarium. The working title for this might be “Spaced Out and Star Struck”.
I Love How When The Astronomer Was Reading The Stars, They Put Her Lips. Because Them Doing That Was Basically Her Saying To Read Her Lips.
Another fav misfit song that is very POSITIVE ❤❤😂
Blow them away Pizzazz!
one of my top 5 misfit songs.
I can take over the world with this song lol.
Songwriting queen Stormer knows her subjects! 😉🎶😂
Las mejores caricaturas en aquellos tiempos como estas ningunas
Love this song and the animation is well done!
literally the best song
By far the best misfits songs
I use to have the whole collection of the Jem
Point me to the skies above- I can't there on my own- Walk me to the graveyard- DIG UP HER BONES!!" -The Misfits
This my shit 🙌😩
Totally 80s and Im here for it that Pizzaz rizz
at 00:45 It never occurred to me when I watched this show as a pre-teen that some of the scenes in the music videos could be a little far-out for
younger viewers. No kid watching would have expected their vision to be
hit straight-up by that close-up shot of Pizzazz's "bust"!
“Winning is everything “ was my favorite Misfits song.
AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!!!
Me encanta esta canción !!!!!💕💕💕💕💕
It's like they couldn't decide whether Pizzazz's hair was supposed to be brown or green, so they settled on both.
Best song for the great American total eclipse April 8
yaaaaas, pizzazz, slay!
Definitely one of my favorites next to I like your style...
Totally today was the total eclipse 😂
