I remeber watching this also OGWT around xmas time i think? Great Track.

This looks extremely silly but you can't deny that it's well crafted.

WOW YEARS AGO-- Just heard this song on an app- Charlies 80's attic. THANK YOU for The Video. saw the show at least one back in the day,

Beautiful

That's true, women do be shopping

Beautiful song.

Just saw this on old top of the pops and I can’t remember the song and group at all. How strange!

Wow. Fantastic choreography and stunning video!!! I enjoy it very much.

1:26. That is beautiful

I used to have part 1 and 2 on vhs recorded off the TV and would watch them over and over when I was about 8. What a legend, I still love all the music she was way ahead of her time ❤

I Remember this Show and Film 😊😊❤❤

She dances with Davy Jones in the Monkees movie 'Head' for a tune named 'Daddies Song' great dancing scene!

Incredible she's still working and she's nearly 80[Sept 22nd 2023). She's now a careographer and she has worked with Sinatra and in Movies she's acted in some late 1960s. Plus she knew tragic Sharon Tate 1943-1969. Well done Toni xx

Sadly underrated - this album is FABULOUS! Every cut!

I was doing regional theater in the summer of 1983, and the director always played Toni Basil's album for us to do warm-up exercises and stretches to. I always looked forward to it---especially this song. It was so energizing! Although I never could figure out exactly what it's about. Is it juts about bad habits in general? Or a particular obsession?

Fantastic. I do not know why this was not the big hit I eat cannibals was!

i live in the 80s and I'm still wondering how I did I miss this out!!!🙄🙄🙄

Still one of my favorite singer till know 😂

the vocal studio treatment reminds me of what Debbie Harry's voice used to be recorded as

Yes, a piece of art! ...subject matter, lyrics, music, videography, choreography; belongs on a wall in a museum, remastered with a nice large golden frame and surround sound playing over and over again. Thanks for posting, so nice to see it's still here to watch after enjoying for so many years---thanks again.

Four decades later and I still have a mad crush on her. She's still amazing to this day. This is actually a modified cover of Devo's Pity You. They had to change the song's name due to copyright issues. The Spudboys played on several tracks on this album and she was dating Devo bassist Gerry Casale at the time.

Pity you from devo ,they really listened to that German track love machine by Supermax for this intro

Fabuleuse Toni!

Toni Basil choreographed, storyboarded and created all of her own videos. She is a genius.

Another great one from miss basil , word of mouth is criminally almost forgotten , not by me ❤

Cute video.She put pop locker Shabba Doo.

Absolutely brilliant without doubt one of omds finest. Excellent vocals Mr humphrey.

Always loved this album but especially this haunting song.

Eric Morecambe and Toto Coelo sharing the same bill. What a time to be alive.

vaya basofia

This clip is from the BBC North Special Toni made in Manchester. Directed by the late Alan Walsh, Produced by Ken Stephinson, & vision mixed by me.

La verdadera Reina del *NEW WAVE / NEÓN postpunk*

The most perfectly choreographed piece of art I've ever seen. Entranced at first viewing via BBC2 in 1981, and still have the LP.

Shabba Doo, who was one of the original Lockers, sadly passed away in 2020. He was 65. R.I.P.

This is a very creative choreography even in the day & age. Someone should fix this blurry video into an HD.

Thank you for posting these Word Of Mouth videos, I've not seen them for many years. I remember seing the whole video in UK, on Channel 4, I think in 1982 and being bowled over by it. I rushed out to buy the album, which I still proudly own and listen to to this day. Toni was such a beautitiful and talented singer/dancer and still is at 78, she is the same age as my mum! I was (and still am) a big fan of Devo at the time I saw Toni's WOM video, little did I know at that time that Devo was heavily involved in this album, 3 of the songs were written by them and most of the band played on the album. It just gets better! Love Toni, long may she live!

TONI BASIL EXQUISITE

Pretty Amazing ..I mean look at what is "churned" out now...this woman really is breathing walking talent. The choreography here is great..the mix of several styles, ..the costumes,..the voice..the song...all of it...I love this and also find it hard to get past "STREETBEAT" From the smothers Brothers show

Organisation was full of great almost unknown tracks. I think it may just be my favorite album, it’s a shame they lost their unique sound after dazzleships.

Oh no it's DEVO!

Magical

Anyone have any idea what ever happened to Spaz Attack?

kate bush meets hazel o'connor

Why isn't she a judge on dancing with the stars ?

Toni was the complete package ..how she's not a household name and Madonna is ...well it's beyond me ..and she's 77 ...wow. ..

Pop music was just so much cooler in the '80s !

Written by Devo.

Superb song and mesmerising dancing. I was in love with Toni in 1981 and i was only 14. Little Red Book is brill. I wish someone would put up the whole video show of word of mouth where this sing came from. Then id be so happy.

I was at this recording Queen Margaret Drive 81sh I guess.Upstairs in the Last Chance Muirhead every 2nd Thursday if I remember correctly.Great nights....best Thin Lizzy tribute band ever.....:)
