Why are you happy? This is not yours, you just stole something from a creator and recive the credit. Any dumb ass can do that, like is this case. Create something please, stop stole from others!
The lead singer is my brother and I’ve fancied Paul Rudd for years so this is very confusing for me 😂😂 he nailed the dad moves and receding hairline though and I just love everything about it
I was born in 1991 so I had never heard this song before it was on Fallon, but it’s been stuck in my head ever since lol. Tell your bro it’s an awesome song 😜.
I like to think that it was a deliberate decision to exclude them. I was surprised after watching the video that commenters didn't see it as an obvious exclusion.
Nothing beats the part @1:38 where Jimmy/Long Haired Go West Guy just toss their hands in the air for a few frames when the trumpets/brass punch a line and then it goes to something else....so random and weird and wonderful!
Exactly. I think all of their vids recreating 80’s music snow love, appreciation & homage.its so good! 80’s misic and fashion was epic. I lived it. Didnt seem weird at the time. It was fun. So this is FUN!
@deecohen1383 I think because it was going to be a parody they tried to push harder and exaggerate things more. in the end it ended up being just like a music video was back then, a little too over the top acting. They added more realism without realizing..😂
Weird Al does parodies. A parody would involve someone doing something slightly different ----- wearing a silly hat, falling down while dancing, being a fat person instead of a skinny person, etc. Weird Al would have had one of the dancing girls fall down, or have the girl walking over to the limo open the front door "accidently", and then quickly shut it and open the back door. If all you are doing is recreating the same music video, then you are doing an homage. What Fallon does is still humorous simply because he is recreating some of the "most 80s" music videos, but these are still NOT parodies.
RedRose7997 I watched the original video after the Jimmy/Paul one & totally thought they digitally put themselves into the original too - they probably watched the video a million times to get it as close as they did!
They just freekin' NAILED IT! SO Funny! I was cracking up as I watched their spoof - not even side by side - cuz I remember the original from back in the day! Huge fan of Go West! - so overlooked for their talent!
Yep...totally agree...he's truly hilarious. The only thing he's ever done that I did not like was that movie...I forget the name....oh...Our Idiot Brother? I think that's what its called.
So unbelievable done. By far the best these two have done. Great song. Brings back the memories. 1990. Pretty Woman movie. Did not know this. Burt Reynolds was the original pick to see play lead.
Wasn't a fan of the group, but adored this song as a kid and loved the redo on Fallon. Thanks for doing this. The remake brought back good memories and you completed the circle
I think they may have deliberately cut out the elephant because a lot of the stuff they had it doing in the original video (like the headstand) are now considered animal cruelty.
@@moreartthantimesome elephants in zoos still do handstands sometimes. Not sure about the ethics of what was going in those zoos. But I don't assune anything really bad was going on.
One of my favorite songs of all time, and they play it so straight letting the natural comedy of the time come through. So perfect. And Paul Rudd has pipes!!
Love what you did!! I seriously love this song! I haven't heard this song for more than 10 years and suddenly thought of it today! So searched for it and found the Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd one which I didn't even know they reenacted it!! And you putting it side by side was just awesome!! Kuddos! 👏👍
I already loved this song long before I saw this parody. My fiancee and I laugh hysterically every time we watch this (yes, we've watched it more than once). We both like Paul Rudd, and I've been a fan of Fallon since his first season on SNL. Jimmy gets some major cred for his passion of re-creating everything perfectly - this was soooo well done!!!!!!
OMG, Jimmy, Paul, THANK YOU for such a great flashback to Go West (and MTV in general). Rest assured, people, the video didn’t make any sense in 1990, either! And thanks Jorge, for putting these two classics side by side. (Dont miss the Pope!)
I almost made an appointment to go see my optometrist. I thought I was seeing double. The side-by-side comparison really makes you realize how much work and effort into the remake. Now I’m going to look at some 80s R&B videos. Those were the days.
Okay I know this is hysterical but even Paul Rudd has a signature move. You can see it clearly. Even though he's trying to copy the go west singer, his own personality is shining through. This was a good trip. Glad I watched it
jimmy needs to do this weekly with all the popular music vids from the 80's with famous guest stars it would be awesome plus he would bring some great music to the masses of kids who are use to craptastic overly auto tuned music of today ...he would be giving these kids a top notch musical education thats for sure ..or at the very least giving the 80's kids a great way to reminisce about their childhood ....great job jimmy and paul .keep them coming u ROCK!!!!!
Tiffany Anna ...would never have guessed him if it didnt have his name in title lol..i thought original singers dancing was kinda funny..til i saw Rudds rendition 😂. Wonder what theyll come up with next?.maybe something from 90s
Tiffany Anna ...too much time on my hands song..i saw that one too, it was good. This one still better. Im not a big fan of fallon but id watch more of these with him n rudd lol.
First time seeing this and Fallon nails it. Very well done, totally enjoyable. A fan of Go West from the very beginning. I did see them live at Malibu's in 1984 at age 19. They were terrific. Thanks for posting.
Loved GO WEST back in the day. Listened to them on my SONY WALKMAN!! Yes, the moves are vintage, but they were perfect for the era of the video. Love the song to bits!!!
More like, "Yea, we're not gonna physically abuse an elephant to get a funny shot for a spoof video". I think it could have been funny with a person in an elephant outfit or something, but I think they wanted to literally point out the cruelty of the original act, so they left it all out to really highlight the issue and so people would ask "Why was the elephant not in it?" Some things, particularly animal cruelty, don't age well.
This does so much for my perfectionism. All the super intricate details that they make sure to include. Truly a tribute to the original, plus Paul Rudd is the King... hands down.
I just realized, after years of having watched the original video, they have all sorts of 'King' references. Never put two and two together before just now.
This is one of the greatest things my eyes have ever perceived... And I have been at the birth of both of my daughters... I love the way Paul Rudd moves... He makes me belly laugh spontaneously & uncontrollably... This music video triggers so many memories from my youth... And they nail it so hard... I love this so much... 😍🤓
Watching this in 2020 is kind of weird... I wasn't a huge fan of the song in 1990, and I'm not now, but looking back at songs I listened to in my early teens (in the early 90s) is calling attention to how much time has passed.
It’s pretty much accepted these days that wild animals shouldn’t be exploited. Elephants, in particular, were not treated at all well back in the day. Props to Jimmy & Paul for not including animals, even via CGI.
I just found out today that Jimmy & Paul were doing these pop videos. Those two have amazing talents & comedic gifts from God. Paul Rudd is low-key hot & I've heard and it seems he's down to Earth. He's got to be a great family man. God love them both!!!! I also forgot about the song, "King of Wishful Thinking!" That song was one of the greatest from that era.
Paul Rudd put everything he’s ever known into his performance spoofing this video/ song and I am soooooo here for it! I love when Jimmy does these satirical videos! ❤️🥰
200,000 Views, great googily moogily - I'm happy people seem to dig this so much
"Great googily moogily"? A Jim Cornette on Ahmed Johnson reference?
Thanks for the upload, u did a great job.
Up to over half a million views now in 2019👍

You're Peter Cox' Sister? That's awesome! I love Go West!
I was born in 1991 so I had never heard this song before it was on Fallon, but it’s been stuck in my head ever since lol. Tell your bro it’s an awesome song 😜.
Love GoWest!
Your brother needs to get an invite on and go see jimmy and paul and you never know you could tag along lol
That’s amazing. He has one of the best voices ever 😊
In Fallon and Rudd's defense -- it's pretty tough to find zebras and handstand-skilled elephants on short notice these days. 😂
and the pope :P
Well the pope is a very busy pope :)
@@ct0760 naw this new Pope actually calls up random strangers and asks how they are doing. Hes more active lol
That wasn't the real Pope...😅
I like to think that it was a deliberate decision to exclude them. I was surprised after watching the video that commenters didn't see it as an obvious exclusion.
I was already very familiar with this song, but watching Paul's enthusiasm for it makes me like the song so much more now.
Paul Rudd really took this role seriously. His facial expressions and hip thrusts were hilarious
Nothing beats the part @1:38 where Jimmy/Long Haired Go West Guy just toss their hands in the air for a few frames when the trumpets/brass punch a line and then it goes to something else....so random and weird and wonderful!
People gonna act like the Go West video wasnt fire back in the day
IDiggPattyMayonnaise Songs like these were always fire in general.
IDiggPattyMayonnaise Exactly!
bruh go west is fire today if you grew up during that time dont think i dont blar this song loud af when it comes on while im driving.
I didn’t think much of the video and it’s not My style of music but this is the one pop song from the 90’s that I loved.
This was the shit
Paul and Jimmy’s rendition was supposed to be a parody but it came out more like a homage. Good on them! Their version was incredible!
Exactly. I think all of their vids recreating 80’s music snow love, appreciation & homage.its so good!
80’s misic and fashion was epic. I lived it. Didnt seem weird at the time. It was fun. So this is FUN!

Too funny.. they really did it exactly like the video I didn't realize how close it was!
Not quite as good as the More Than Words remake but pretty damn awesome.
RedRose7997 I watched the original video after the Jimmy/Paul one & totally thought they digitally put themselves into the original too - they probably watched the video a million times to get it as close as they did!
Never heard of this song before today. Now I'm obsessed with it
Also check out their song Don't Look Down, Call Me, True Colours and We Close Our Eyes. All great tunes.
SpongeBobaFett me too
Check out this live performance if you haven't already. It's pretty good.
th-cam.com/video/BGlRG44WSDc/w-d-xo.html
I want to hear it from you is another great one!
Check out, Black - wonderful life, it’s a great song which you’ve probably heard of but didn’t know the name of :D
It’s 2021, and I still need to hear this after every break up. Thanks team!
Paul Rudd is my favorite actor so it is really cool to see him doing my favorite song from my childhood ❤
This is amazing! Thank you sooo much for making this. I had no idea how much effort Jimmy and Paul put into this.
Wow. Incredible! This just proves Paul Rudd is a very underrated actor!
Request from an Australian fan, can Paul and Jimmy please do Hall and Oats’ Out of touch. Thanks.
Paul is always EXTRA animated and enthused when he does these imitations of old music videos. HILARIOUS!
Thanks for the side by side video. This was one of my fav songs when I was a kid, heard it on Pretty Woman at the theater omg I'm old lol
For sure. I originally just threw it together for myself but thought I couldn't be the only one that wanted to see it.
I have been waiting for this. Amazing! Thank you!
You know I used to watch pretty women and I couldn’t remember this song
prosariovv feeling your pain buddy😉
Louise lambert this is the backsound when Richard Gere broke up by the phone then got lost in Beverly Hills
They just freekin' NAILED IT! SO Funny! I was cracking up as I watched their spoof - not even side by side - cuz I remember the original from back in the day! Huge fan of Go West! - so overlooked for their talent!
i was really hoping somebody would do this.. i have watched this spoof countless times. its like my favorite thing ever.
So it's confirmed...I will watch anything with Paul Rudd in it 😍😍
Yep...totally agree...he's truly hilarious. The only thing he's ever done that I did not like was that movie...I forget the name....oh...Our Idiot Brother? I think that's what its called.
Me, too - he’s delicious🤤💝😍
Even if Jimmy"Talent Vampire" Fallon is there too....
THANK YOU for the side-by-side, Jørgen Pedersen!! GREAT res!!
So unbelievable done. By far the best these two have done. Great song. Brings back the memories. 1990. Pretty Woman movie. Did not know this. Burt Reynolds was the original pick to see play lead.

Uncanny - shame they couldn't get an elephant !
NPT Music or a zebra.
NPT Music or Pope John Paul....
@@freddietiphany what happened 1:45
I think they may have deliberately cut out the elephant because a lot of the stuff they had it doing in the original video (like the headstand) are now considered animal cruelty.

OMG! I have been living under a rock. Literally the first time I've seen Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd remaking old 80's music videos!
I guess live zoo animals were not in the budget
They wanted to but New York City has strict regulations about exotic animals within city limits.
or popes
I was thinking that lol
ZSandmann did you actually think that was the real pope?
Do I have to actually respond to this? No I didn't think that was Pope John Paul II, it was a joke...
One of my favorite songs of all time, and they play it so straight letting the natural comedy of the time come through. So perfect. And Paul Rudd has pipes!!

I LOVED GO WEST. GREAT SONNNNNG
This is complete garbage compared to the one with Jack Black. Jimmy tried…but NEVER could create that magic again
I am so thankful the video eschewed the live animals. You get a zillion internet points just for that, thank you so much!!!
OMG, Jimmy, Paul, THANK YOU for such a great flashback to Go West (and MTV in general). Rest assured, people, the video didn’t make any sense in 1990, either! And thanks Jorge, for putting these two classics side by side. (Dont miss the Pope!)
You did such a great job! Thanks for posting this!
Just found about this. Go West is my 80s fave so this has completely made my day.
I almost made an appointment to go see my optometrist. I thought I was seeing double. The side-by-side comparison really makes you realize how much work and effort into the remake.
Now I’m going to look at some 80s R&B videos. Those were the days.

This is basically perfection! Thanks Jørgen Pedersen ! Paul Rudd can do everything!
Oh my gosh I remember this song, I was 5 then. That’s back when artist made an impression ❤❤❤ well done on the remake
Paul Rudd is awesome!!
Terrific editing job. NIcely done!
jimmy needs to do this weekly with all the popular music vids from the 80's with famous guest stars it would be awesome plus he would bring some great music to the masses of kids who are use to craptastic overly auto tuned music of today ...he would be giving these kids a top notch musical education thats for sure ..or at the very least giving the 80's kids a great way to reminisce about their childhood ....great job jimmy and paul .keep them coming u ROCK!!!!!
Thank you for making this!!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting it. Paul rudd kills it lol..i didnt even recognize him.
greato80 lol me either I was like who tf is that? 😂
Tiffany Anna ...would never have guessed him if it didnt have his name in title lol..i thought original singers dancing was kinda funny..til i saw Rudds rendition 😂. Wonder what theyll come up with next?.maybe something from 90s
greato80 they did that Styx song ... It was funny af too ... I need to watch Fallon more... He's actually funny and a decent host
Tiffany Anna ...too much time on my hands song..i saw that one too, it was good. This one still better. Im not a big fan of fallon but id watch more of these with him n rudd lol.
I didn’t recognize him either - until he launched into his dance moves as in his Don’t Stop Me Now lip sync!
this video is so special to me. it brought go west into my life. i adore them so much ❤
It’s crazy how accurate they are with these. The Styx on was on point too!
First time seeing this and Fallon nails it. Very well done, totally enjoyable. A fan of Go West from the very beginning. I did see them live at Malibu's in 1984 at age 19. They were terrific. Thanks for posting.
This was a great 90s song that still had that 80s sound to start with paul Rudd just elevated it to legend status.
I gotta give my thanks to these two for introducing me to what is now one of my favorite songs
There's so much going on in the video, they did a great job recreating it. Looks like a headache to even approach.
They did a great job with this one Paul and Jimmy you guys rock and I also like to give a great shout out to go west for making this great song👍💯😔👌
0:55
And I’ll tell myself I’m over you🎤🎶
Thank you so much for this! Peace and love! :)
Now. Seems as if Rudd is Fallon's #2 buddy behind Timberlake. Get all 3 of them to do a video together!
how about Blake Shelton?
And Will Smith
The edit is gold!
Thanks man. I'm not a fan of Go West but Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon are awesome in their cover songs.
fuck you
I didn't know them by name, or see the video.................I mean, Paul Rudd's voice is much better??
Paul Rudd's voice better than Peter Cox? What are you smoking sir.
Or whoever's voice it is in their cover of it. Peter Cox's voice isn't particularly pleasant.
Loved GO WEST back in the day. Listened to them on my SONY WALKMAN!! Yes, the moves are vintage, but they were perfect for the era of the video. Love the song to bits!!!
fallon's key slap at 0:58 is too good
Thanx for your effort. You make my day!
This side by side really shows how much work Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon put in to it make it look like the Go West video. Impressive!
Thank you, never heard this song before and now it´s stuck in my head cause I like this kind of songs XD
2:43 Jimmy Fallon - Yeah, We're going to need an elephant for our next skit
Board of NBC - We're not paying for that!
Hahahahaha 😂 Fallon probably pointed to Conan getting the Bugatti and was like it's worth it
More like, "Yea, we're not gonna physically abuse an elephant to get a funny shot for a spoof video".

just so much fun to watch! can't help but smile
Paul Rudd is the only actor that makes overacting look good.😂
I hear this song four times a day working at Publix, and every time all I can see is Paul Rudd 😅
Hilarious and awesome! thanks for this!!
This does so much for my perfectionism. All the super intricate details that they make sure to include. Truly a tribute to the original, plus Paul Rudd is the King... hands down.

this.......is the best thing ever i was a senior in high school in 90 and this was a great song then and now lol love it
The Creepy part is how the literally found Doppelgangers / Clones for the female ballet dancer and Pretty Women characters 😱
How? Put out a casting call, there's almost 8 BILLION people on the planet.
O trabalho pra editar deve ter sido um absurdo.
I just realized, after years of having watched the original video, they have all sorts of 'King' references. Never put two and two together before just now.
AWESOME. Thanks for making this. Rudd is chewing the scenery a little bit but overall an amazing duplication they did!!
I used to sing the one part "I'LL PRETEND MY SHIT'S NOT STINKIN'!!!"... I had issues. 😐
freddietiphany . Diet problems?
Never thought about that, now that's how I'll hear it in the future.
I heard this song in a grocery store and I thought that was the lyric!
wtf XD
That's ok. I have always sung the lyrics to 'Living On a Prayer' as "shitting on the stairs!"
Brilliant! Thanks Jorgen, I can find those 'missing scene' now.
I know it doesn’t say it but at 1:24 it sounds like it says with jizz in my eyes 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
This is one of the greatest things my eyes have ever perceived... And I have been at the birth of both of my daughters... I love the way Paul Rudd moves... He makes me belly laugh spontaneously & uncontrollably... This music video triggers so many memories from my youth... And they nail it so hard... I love this so much... 😍🤓
Paul Rudd is unrecognizable in this 🙁
Aside from the missing animals, that was totally on point!! Nice Job you two!!! Wow😁
Can’t. Stop. Watching.
me too
Watching this in 2020 is kind of weird... I wasn't a huge fan of the song in 1990, and I'm not now, but looking back at songs I listened to in my early teens (in the early 90s) is calling attention to how much time has passed.
The Roots did a great job as well. Props to the props department.
OMG they should more of these!!!!
Why does the 2018 version looks more washed up then the 1990.
blazn0 difference of digital recording versus analog recording. Actually difficult to get video to look like the 90s now lol
It's made on a cheaper budget.
^
With a poopton more options to film and get everything together.
Have you heard of a question mark, it looks like this ?
The 1990s was washed up by default since they didnt have as good resolution then, so maybe they tried hard to recreate that?
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I've ALWAYS loved this song and this new video interpretation is sooooooooooooooo cool :D
the effects of constant travel to the quantum realm
This is superb. Thanks for the comparison. Even though the original was super hyped, the energy of Paul Rudd is of the meter 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Feel like people are kinda sleeping Rudd’s voice....
Jared Lutes right dude?! guys hittin those vibratos and falsettos n shit like its nbd
I watch this and it makes me smile
Wonder what Peter Cox and Richard Drummie think
Well, we've got Peter's thoughts:

Dude, Paul Rudd is my hero! These recreations of these videos are hysterical. I always found him to be funny, but these put him over the top
Jimmy Fallon's smirky laugh in the beginning of this cracks me up😂
Yeah cuz he knows what's gonna happen lolololol
I hope they continue to remake videos together. It's a great bit.
I'm subscribing literally because you made this video. I was bothered because I remembered zebras in the original and didn't see them in the new one
lol thanks

Circus elephants are expensive

I love when Jimmy does these satirical videos!
❤️🥰
Absolutely perfect 😆
I was 9 years old when this came out. I still remember this song lol
