Er, what now? Just looked at the 'studio, improved' clip. That's for real? I mean, it looks real. But, how?

I loved it. Brilliant. Interesting. Poignant. ('I don't wanna die in my sleep').

So it's real? Wow. That is cool.

Oh feck! Total, total feck!!!!

I don't have TUC. Which is bad enough re We've Had Enough. But now this? Feck!!!

But it was the video clip. Why don't we have more stuff like this? Rhetorical question, no need to answer, I'm just ...

😮
 

This version got pretty popular on Tiktok and now it's been stuck in my head 25/8 lol. I love how his vocals sound here though, especially on the chorus :love:

Same. I was horrified to realise how much I've been neglecting it. No, seriously, just horrified. 😦 I found a lovely live version. Because I am a fool and a heretic I wasn't confident about it. Just seems like one of those songs that work really well in a studio but would be very difficult to reproduce live.

Oh, me of little faith!

Let me go and find it. See what you think.

P.S. Also, AWESOME performance here on Soul Train. They are bringing it!

Here you go. Not as beautiful as the studio version but still completely awesome, imo. Don't know what you'll make of it (you might hate it). People just don't seem to perform live vocals anymore whereas I grew up with it so it sounds normal to me, that difference between the 'studio' voice and the 'real' voice.

I love this, especially the little bit of acapella.

That one is fabulous too! I feel like the live performances show a lot more creativity and uniqueness to it, as well as letting them let loose to enjoy themselves, also the versitality that goes into it versus while in the recording booth.

The acapella is literally spot on as well!

Agree 100%. There's a lot of creativity here. As in, it's a challenging song to sing live - although they totally have the voices for it and can hit those high notes and do the harmonies and everything - but also, just singing live gives them a bit of extra freedom and they use it so well.

And still with the crazy dance routine! I want to do those weird wrist flips that they do. What does it mean? I don't know but I want to do it. :ROFLMAO:

Reacting to an older post. Land of 1000 dances gets used in the 1988 comedy film "the great outdoors" with John Candy and Dan Akroyd in a very fun and exciting scene during the end. You should watch the film just for that :p good fun!

I absolutely love that movie! That's where I first heard Land of 1000 Dances!

Same here, loved the film and then when Dan Akroyd goes nuts on this I fell in love with this tune, listened to it many time since. I love John Candy films, such a lovable funny actor.
