The percussion is snappy, the vocals crisp, the dancers on point and I love Herb Albert's impeccable talent on the horn. The energy and humor was wonderful. Thanks to everyone!
I absolutely love this video....every dancer was great 👍 especially the lead dancer. I have heard versions of this song but Herp Alpert takes this tune to a different stratosphere. Love it! Addicted to watching this video....

A very Happy 87th Birthday Herb Alpert. March 31, 1935 Los Angeles, CA. 14 platinum albums and 15 gold albums; 9 Grammy Awards. 72 million records sold. Truely a living legend. Many more Tito / Dore Alpert...
We love this video so much! The music is superb, the dancing is perfect, and whenever we need a caffeine-like high we watch this. When I was a kid, Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass were on the record player all the time, so it feels really good to see him making excellent music now.
Me too (well, 7/28). Before they played it Herb told the audience to look out for a costumed gorilla. I must've watched this now a dozen times and can't find it.
I know people are ultra-critical of this version, but I like it. It's catchy, danceable, and just nice to listen to. Sometimes are expectations of songs, arrangements, and even the artists themselves border on the unreasonable. Herb Alpert is a trumpet player playing catchy instrumentals, some remakes and some originals. He isn't trying to be Wynton Marselis, Doc Severinsen, or Maynard Ferguson; he plays his own style (and is eclectic at that). I am a big jazz freak and dig the trumpet players that are considered tops in the field (Miles, Gillespie, Hubbard, etc.), but I can appreciate the sound of Alpert's horn and many of his tunes. Route 101, Rise, and some of his older tunes are great to listen to. His Second Wind CD produced by Jeff Lorber is still one of my favorites. I enjoyed the song, the video, and the great long camera shot (that is difficult to do). I think all of this talk about Taco's version being better and hipsters ruining everything is taking this way too seriously; it's just a fun video. If Herb Alpert is not your cup of tea, then drink another flavor and enjoy that.
Thank you. Beautifully written. Right on. Let's not be snobs---agreed. Yes, catchy, danceable, fun---what else is there!!????? Yes, Louie, Dizzy, Miles...but ...let's dance!!!
Dang best music ever! My mom was a Brazil 66/Herb Alpert fan and I applaud her taste in music!!! This song embodies the jewels that Herb Alpert, Lani Hall and Sergio Mendez gave to us as marvelous gifts of music legend!!! Bravo to the highest degree!!!
That was some tremendous choreography, well executed. I usually don't watch dance videos like this, but I couldn't stop watching it. Very good dancers and very interesting looking ensemble.

Perhaps the best music video of the era: Minimum editing (Alpert says it needed several takes but the master is one shot), great Steadicam work, amazing production coordination, not a dancer out of character, really tight art direction, wonderful music with the tongue-in-cheek participation of Herb Alpert himself. The energy is so high and so positive. The tipoff was the "NAPPYTABS PARKING ONLY" sign at the top of the video. After some digging, I find that NAPPYTABS has gone on to be the premier producer of massive events, fabulous dancing, with a work ethic that is impressive. This video is a treasure.

Herb actually said in a concert that I attended on 6/10/2022 that they did 6 takes, but you are correct that there are no cuts in the final video. The kids on the bus had to quickly run around the block to get in position for the next scene on the sidewalk outside the studio.
I saw them do this live with the video in the background and it was pretty amazing. The choreography is amazing. Also, if you watch, you can see that it's all done with a single camera. A new arrangement brings freshness to an old song.
This is freaking amazing! That's either the smoothest editing the world has ever seen, or that whole video was one continuous shot! And I love the choreography is a brilliant blend of styles.
Lex Dunn - Alpert has explained it elsewhere. There were several takes, but no video editing. It is one continuous shot. Of course the trumpet and vocal are added.
doubtless Robert Altman would approve of the tracking-shot lasting for the entire video. love the choreography and the sheer logistics and rehearsal involved in this. and then there's the music...... wonderful all round!
Excellent synth bass sound. Didn't exist when I first started enjoying Herb Alpert back in the sixties. Maybe him and Willie and Jerry Lee will outlive us all!
Fun video and so many different scenes of creative dance groups. Loved seeing Herb as the bus driver and bar tender - - modest cameo visibility in the production. So cool.
A contemporary spin on a classic tune that everyone is familiar with for one reason or another and of course Herbie's signature horn sound.The swing style dance beats and grooves are catchy and I now can't get this out of my head. My favorite aspect is the pairing with the video is spot on.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC and beautiful. AMAZING choreography and great sound track. Very entertaining and the dancing is TRULY POWERFUL. The lead dancer, Vincente, is so attractive.
This is fantastic. More than the music itself, more than the dancing and energy even more than the one-take shooting, I love it because someone finally made a Trilby look cool.
Dear Herb.....Thanks for my ENTIRE enjoyment of the trumpet.....I wouldn't have played as long as i did (45 years now) if it wasn't for you!!! you kept me on my toes for sure!!!
I regret that I can only give this a thumbs up merely one time... I feel it deserves any & all possible thumbs that have ever and will ever exist in this or any other universe👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Don't know how I missed this video when it came out 6 years ago, but I found it now and I love every bit of it. The dancing is amazing, the music is spectacular and it makes me get off my butt and start my day in a great mood.
Love the music and the choreography. I'm enamored by the videography. It is shot to appear as one continuous shot, without cuts. Done beautifully, seamlessly.
Judging by comments, a history lesson is in order. Herb Alpert is not Louis Armstrong, Bunny Berrigan, Harry James, Cootie Williams, Dizzy Gillespie, Thad Jones, Bill Chase, Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinson, Wynton Marsalis, or Byron Stripling. What he is, is, the arbiter of a sound that defined a generation with Burt Bacharach and A&M records. A great trumpet stylist, whom no one else sounds like. This piece sounds like only him. Taco, a footnote. Google Irving Berlin, young geniuses.
Apparently he can also drive a bus!! Also as president of A&M Records he was the most wealthy artist in the world from the early 70s to the mid 80s. He was able to self produce his first couple of albums in the 60s, they sold well all around the world, and in the USA A&M Records even outsold the Beatles.
He also discovered the talent of Karen Carpenter when she was a studio musician he convinced her to sing the song that she was trying to sell. Convinced her and Richard that her voice was unique and he was 100 percent right!
THANK YOU! Somebody had to say it! I’m glad it came out on top for all to see. This song and the music genre it represents is rich with history.Some of us, including myself were around to actually hear some the greats of that time. Your list brought back some amazing memories. Thank you.😊
This is a great video, well choreographed, shot and filmed. I grew up listing to Herb Alpert, and really enjoy this. This old dog is happy watching new tricks.
The "gorilla strolls through the crowd in plain sight" is one of the great mind-forks of all time. NO ONE gets it the first time. And if no one tells you, you don't get it the next time, either. I've been watching this song for years. Didn't see it until I read your post!
Love the multiple cameos of Herb Alpert in this video.
I did not know that he is still active. Many decades ago, I disliked his music, but I think he hit the nail here 😀
Herb with his wife Lani in that sweet final scene! Love it.
@TheLizeau , it is a great moment. It could easily be captioned "This Guy's in Love with You" (Herb's hit song as a vocalist)😊
Bus Driver, Barber, Bartender! So fun!
The percussion is snappy, the vocals crisp, the dancers on point and I love Herb Albert's impeccable talent on the horn. The energy and humor was wonderful. Thanks to everyone!
Henri.... You certainly made a perfect assessment of this one!. I, too, love it.
Henri! I though you were dead years and years.. and years ago! Cool! Anyway I dig your paintings, dude. Very cool.
@@ergbudster3333 LOL thanks for thinking of me!
I've listened to Herb Alfred since the 60s... He's still got it.
He has always and will always have it!
Hahahaha...oh man, you're a fan alright!
He's one of the all-time greats, but he's 90 years old now.
One camera, one shot. Incredible. If it took a hundred takes it would still be a stunning bit of film.
Not really one shot but the excellent editing makes it seem so.
@@SallySallySallySally- It is one long shot, but required more than one take.
@@SallySallySallySally Herb says it was - though I doubt it was one take!
I absolutely love this video....every dancer was great 👍 especially the lead dancer. I have heard versions of this song but Herp Alpert takes this tune to a different stratosphere. Love it! Addicted to watching this video....
Great to see Herb still going strong!! Always loved his music, always will!

Written by Irving Berlin in 1927 and still being covered. Truly good music has no shelf life!
The version done by Dr. Viktor Frankensteen is also a great version.
That man can dance! Never seen such fluidity.
Интересно имя танцора. Кто нибудь знает?
VINCENT NOISEUEX is the lead dancer
❤
Brilliant! Congratulations to all involved. Breathtaking throughout. Absolutely dazzling.
Saw them in concert last night and this video and song was one of the highlights.
A delightful evening!

They don’t like it…they can go to hell.
What fool was even mildly critical of this?
This deserves some kind of award. What a production, so creatively done.
You hit the nail on the head there. Fabulously done.
No
Yup, some pretty smooth camera work and editing.
The dancing matches the song note for note…
Definitely does - everything is absolute perfection! Go Herb and Lani too……..🤩
WOW...that was one of the BEST videos I have ever seen!
A brilliant piece of a very fluent choreography. Thanks for sharing it.
Sometimes all one can say is THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You, (Herb Alpert and company) continue to make my days happier and more joyful.
Dang best music ever! My mom was a Brazil 66/Herb Alpert fan and I applaud her taste in music!!! This song embodies the jewels that Herb Alpert, Lani Hall and Sergio Mendez gave to us as marvelous gifts of music legend!!! Bravo to the highest degree!!!
Saw the show in Sacramento Sept. 19, 2019 - wow, thanks for blessing us with your music all these years- so many feeling and memories came back!!!!!
That was some tremendous choreography, well executed. I usually don't watch dance videos like this, but I couldn't stop watching it. Very good dancers and very interesting looking ensemble.
How WONDERFUL are his cameos. Viva Herb.
Terrific choreography, wonderful Herb Alpert track, brilliant editing. This is the kind of thing that can really elevate You Tube.
Congratulations of France for Mr Alpert, the great Mrs Hall, and all the dancers what a beautifull timeless tempo!!!

all in ONE take??
Beautiful way to bring it back to life again. A tune that is never forgettable. Great Fresh perspective.
Fabulous video. Loved the cameos of Herb Alpert and Lani Hall
SUPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM INSPIRED! The mix of hip hop, funk and fosse is delicious...
Great piece , I thought Herb was the bus driver. 77 and still handsome as ever. Loved it ! Thanks to everyone who worked so had to put this together.
I think he's also the bartender at the end?
and the barber
Very enjoyable. Love the upbeat jazz and all the dancers were wonderful.
Thank you for making and sharing this with everyone.

The talent that went into this video is off the scale.
HERB ALPERT JEDEN Z NAJWIĘKSZYCH GENIUSZY W HISTORII MUZYKI
One take, no cuts. Very impressive. Great work all around from both the technical and performance sides. I enjoyed this very much!
Herb actually said in a concert that I attended on 6/10/2022 that they did 6 takes, but you are correct that there are no cuts in the final video. The kids on the bus had to quickly run around the block to get in position for the next scene on the sidewalk outside the studio.

Good to know the Tijuana Brass is still around! I love me some horns! They make everything better!
Alpert is still around, not that group.
Amazing choreography and videography! I get a smile very time I see this... kudos to all involved... thanks for the music -- and the cameos, Herb!
Dear Herb.....Thanks for my ENTIRE enjoyment of the trumpet.....I wouldn't have played as long as i did (45 years now) if it wasn't for you!!! you kept me on my toes for sure!!!
Geez! This guy's still bringing the goods! I've enjoyed Herb Alpert from the 60's until 2020! Fantastic!
Thanks Herb, Lani and all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cameos of Herb and his wife at the beginning and end of the video was probably the best part.... well done.
Herb is in there at least three times: Bus driver, barber, bartender.
@@TimothyForeman Lani Hall is seen when the man gets off the bus and of course at the end when Herb serves her a drink .

Herb Alpert is one of the all-time great musicians with a distinguished career and output. He's also a great music producer.
I watch this WONDERFUL performance repeatedly if only for the filmmaker's creativity--the one take montage is world class. WOW.
Brilliant - best dance video I´ve seen in years.

100% Excellent, perfect.
Just watched him live with his wife Lani and band 9/24/2019...Alpert is now 84. He's still KILLIN IT!!!! AMAZING SHOW
Love the music and the choreography. I'm enamored by the videography. It is shot to appear as one continuous shot, without cuts. Done beautifully, seamlessly.
Classic jazz standard from Irving Berlin turned into electroswing from the future, with an astonishing choreography. Simply brilliant! ^_^
Love the continuous camera shot and the amount of planning it took.

The choreography is beyond amazing.
j'adore la mélodie et la chorégraphie !!
Vraiment magnifique, quelle ambiance, j'adore
Really cool video! I'm glad that Herb is still with us and doing well.
Glad to see Herb Alpert after all these years!
I like this a lot
Hi, OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic energy!!!!!!!!!
Dear Herb, Thanks for your albums "south of the border" and "whipped cream&other delights"!!
Yes, we need more. Thank you. Love this and need this in my life
La musica de Herb Albert es ESPECTACULAR ! . Saludos desde Bogota Colombia
This is the Best version so far!!!!!!!!!
ONE CONTINUOUS SHOT! BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

Not one continuous shot. Notice splicing at 2:04 and 0:15.
This is a great video, well choreographed, shot and filmed. I grew up listing to Herb Alpert, and really enjoy this. This old dog is happy watching new tricks.
This version is thé beat of Puttin on thé Ritz
Saw Herb and Lani in concert this evening in Dallas! At 84 he still has it!!! Lani sounded great, too!! Oh, did you catch the gorilla in this video?
I missed the gorilla? time stamp please.
Found it! in the Very Back of the room at 1:30.
The "gorilla strolls through the crowd in plain sight" is one of the great mind-forks of all time. NO ONE gets it the first time. And if no one tells you, you don't get it the next time, either. I've been watching this song for years. Didn't see it until I read your post!
My goodness...he's 84!! Hard to believe. I grew up listening to him. Love his music. So energetic and uplifting.
Thanks from Seattle, WA... You kids nailed it!
Best choreography I've ever seen in my life...I'm 73
Давно не получал такого удовольствия. Спасибо!
Herb Alpert, excelente como siempre, impecable coreografía, e inconfundible el sonido de su legendaria trompeta.
Gracias.
one of the most creative videos
so unique
Even as a kid I enjoyed Hern Alpert and Brazil 66.
How in the world do these dancers remember all those steps and moves??
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass,
Sergio Mendez and Brasil 66
This video is one of 2-3 that I have to watch every day.
Как классно!!!Зажигающе!!!!Все чётко!!!!
This is one amazing production!
