That bitch getting plugged in tonthe amps has SO MUCH to do with my sexual identity as an adult! lol

So many years ago I was in a shopping mall (remember those?) and was going past a music store which had a videotape (remember those ?) playing this member on a tv screen. I stopped dead in my tracks to take in this fabulous blend of big band and rock . It still is sublime to hear and see so many years later.

Thnks for no make a remake to this.

in properly equipped theaters....you can hear the two separate songs slide together cleanly separate but harmonious in the middle of the theater. awesome!

1st Mashup in History

THE MASHUP before there were Mash-ups 💯‼️

The Tubes were awesome 😂

RIP Olivia Newton John. And Darcelle, you have a really nice 🍑 arse.

Eu vi este filme por des vezes

The soundtrack was a hit, the film, however not so much.

Tommy Tone leading that song

I thought this movie was totally silly. HOWEVER, this scene is amazing. The way the music works together, the dancing. So well done. I come on now and then just to see this whole scene.

When I saw this as a kid I thought it was some sort of wizardry. As an adult I realise it's largely the same song in the same key with two different interpretations. Still brings a tear to my eye, especially from the message it conveys - that different generations can achieve marvels when they work together...

And a young Scott Bradlee, creator of Postmodern Jukebox, watches this and decides his fate. See what happens when people can appreciate music from different eras and quit complaining about how music was better now or in the early days? We can appreciate all styles, genres, and singers and create something wonderful.

I think this sums up of what I am right now…

Love love, love this collaboration it’s great I just love it whoever did this was brilliant

It should be noted that the 80s are just as old now as the 40s were then. And the beauty hasn't faded at all.

As a kid, I watched Xanadu every time I could when it was on HBO just for this scene. Many decades later, I can see Dancin’s influence on musical numbers in this modern era. I know the High School Musical movies are a descendant of Dancin’ because Xanadu’s choreographer Kenny Ortega directed the High School Musical movies. The series Glee which I watched diligently the first two seasons seems to be influenced by Dancin’ as well. Glee had some great mashups during its run. Dancin’ still reigns supreme for me. ❤

The original mash up.

I saw this when I was 12..it still feels like being on drugs to me now coz that's how mind blown i was by this when I was 12..then I got the soundtrack!!!

This may not have been a great movie, but the music was excellent, especially this number! And it just makes me miss Olivia Newton-John even more.

This scene was a glimpse into the movie that Xanadu could've been.

Alguns talvez não entendam o que vou dizer, mas esse filme, ou melhor, essa cena específica é sociologicamente histórica. Mostra o modernismo, a ideologia de gênero, a hipersexualização em contraste com um modo de vida a se rebelar. “Eu não quero sentar no banco de trás”, “Agora será do meu jeito”. Uma rebeldia adolescente, uma ruptura com velhos costumes, apesar da forçada integração que foi feita com maestria, musicalmente e visualmente. Na nova mentalidade a mulher é mais objeto que nunca, vira uma guitarra, os avantajados glúteos balançando na nossa cara, a mulher gemendo amarrada à máquina e até uma criança perto de um homem mais velho. A androginia era a palavra que hoje significa transgênero, o negro com um “colant” absolutamente indecente e a nudez aparente, tudo em nome de uma liberdade sexual e quebra de padrões que hoje em 2023 é vista por muitos bem mais velhos e bem mais novos como exagerada e perniciosa. Como é improvável que a dançarina dos anos 50 se visse atraída por um tipo negro andrógino, mas “tudo pode” é o recado. Nem se compara em beleza a coreografia dos mais antigos com a estranha coreografia dos mais novos. O mistério e o ousado foi substituído por uma série de auto-afirmações imaturas e feitas para chocar, cabelo colorido, tudo artificial. Eu tento não ser radical nem antiquado, mas o resultado do modernismo rebelde, a revolução sexual na sociedade de hoje qualquer um pode constatar, é no mínimo problemático. Convivi na juventude com gay, lésbicas e negros e não tínhamos problemas. Mas as minorias foram manipuladas para destruir valores familiares e hierárquicos e virtuosos que construíram a civilização ocidental que hoje está claramente decadente. Tenho a esperança que os jovens consigam superar tudo isso.

I searched for this mash up for years!!!❤❤❤❤

This is my favorit scene in the whole movie ^^ And the song is so awesome!

i will never tire of seeing the part when the two couples dancing meet in the middle, and the music blends. i just feel such an impact.

Finally got around to watching this movie on Sunday and this was the best scene next to the Xanadu opening night without a doubt

Love that you kept the lead in, most cut that part out.

I must have a problem.. For me, this is one of the mesterpiece of the Musical movies song of all times.. But nobody knows it.. Fantastic

Temazo

Makes me happy to see this again.

OMG Olivia was given a Beautiful gift her voice ⚘️ rest in peace lovely lady 🙏 😓

Love this

Girl bouncing around the stage in Pink Spandex then picked up and played like a guitar was Dana Plato IIRC

I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was an awesome scene... I didn't realize it at the time, but it was the fusion of the two genres of music that made it incredible. As much as I hate to think it, it's the equivalent of what one would think of modern music, merged with some from the 80s today. Damn, I'm getting old...

My favorite scene from Xanadu. God I love this movie

The best bit is that the rock band kept playing this on tour in perpetuity

Best mashup ever. Saw this movie when i was 10. Had the soundtrack. Great memories

Hard rock and jazz amazing mix song this is great!

Flesh pot fusion...at its finest.

Después de más de 40 años de ver esta escena en el cine y repetirla infinidad de veces, me sigue parando los pelos y emocionarme. La mejor escena musical de todos los tiempos

A mashup before mashups were a thing... This movie has been called a lot of things but it was always ahead of it's time

Couldn't get enough of it, had to hear it again.

I was 13 when this movie came out. I really love this song, especially the end were the two styles of music merge. It's bliss!

One of the best parts in the movie - fantastic how they merge the two styles :-).

5:51 👀

The first mash up ever done in 1980. RIP our Livvy xxxx

Olivia Newton-John And The Tubes "Dancin'" Xanadu MCA Records, 1980

The best scene in the movie! Rest in peace Olivia Newton John. You were brilliant!
