FIRST TIME HEARING Cameo - Word Up (Official Music Video) REACTION

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

Oh man- the 80’s was such a fun time! We were laughing at the video even then, meanwhile hopping on the dance floor when it came on at the bars having a great time!

[@marylreddick]

Wasn’t it. We are old as hell !

[@kimberleyphillips6671]

This was my jam too. 😂

[@janeparfitt65]

Still no matter how old. We still have these songs. Sometimes I know you're youngsters but I don't understand how you've never heard Cameo music just because they're American. My son is 33 now & it sure isn't his jam but he's heard these songs. No offence but I just don't understand why. Don't they play these songs on the radio or it makes me think you guys are about 18. Can you please explain this to a 58 Yr old?

[@wetfoot7782]

Yes! Brings me way back to my youth. Great stuff!!

[@v.j.3029]

I love how the song automatically made you guys smile like that, it shows how much fun 80's music was. What a great decade it was to be alive.

[@jacqueline4514]

So fortunate we are; the 80’s were wonderful.

[@jom7604]

Absolutely!!!

[@jennhurl]

"CANDY" is 🔥 It's been my song I play twice through & do my sit ups to for like 30 years. It's the perfect tempo for me. Total sit up time - 9 minutes. Great song!

[@jacqueline4514]

Tell him, Jen; he has to do Candy; just said that myself 😊

[@KateBates22zabu]

She's Strange ❤

[@stevegutierrez7891]

Young people: STOP IGNORING 70S-90S music!!!! U have no idea what youre missing!!! I'm glad these brothas are peepin🙏🏾

[@brookehornback1896]

Never ever ever does this get old.🥰!

[@adnanojd]

Classic cameo, the defined cool in the 80s

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Yesssss, swear the 80’s were amazing

[@jom7604]

Wouldn't trade my teens in the 80's for anything!😁❤️

[@tiacalhoun3841]

@@jom7604 me neither!!!

[@jenniferfoster1692]

This is one of the best songs from the early 80s..you still hear people say 'Word up'...it's referenced in movies/tv etc...you'll hear it now. This is was HUGE

[@carriec9719]

There is no way to adequately describe what it was like in the 80s. It was pure magic

[@gutspraygore]

That drum and base line hits... then they hop in with the brass later. This is almost pure funk. Makes you want to bust a move? Word up. Love the reaction.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Music videos were so creative and fun because of MTV. Artists had a huge platform where they could get a lot of attention, there was a lot of money being spent on making videos because if you had a good one, you'd be on heavy MTV rotation and sell albums. And it was the beginning of a new art form. People were being super creative and experimenting with perfomances and effects, that's why some of the 80s videos are so trippy...it's creative people just having fun and pushing the boundaries! It was the best time, such good vibes and it was as much fun as it looks.

[@deborahcookston9373]

Really cool to see their smiles and grooving. This is what good music made you feel like~

[@SIXX2772]

YO!!!.....WORD UP!!!....I feel blessed to have grown up in this era!!...your brother looks like dude in the video at the end too lol....that guy plays Gordi from star trek next generation too lol

[@RobbinGraham]

i grew up in the 80's and i still listen to these songs- welcome to the nostalgia.

[@EastCoastGal66]

I love Cameo! My favorite song is “She’s Strange”, “ We’re going out tonight “ and “Why have I lost you”. Larry Blackmon is a great music artist! WORD UP is the Best! 🔥

[@guycarter6692]

I actually love their slow jams more than the funky stuff.

[@deelawson4551]

This is on my old school jams along with Let It whip-The Dazz Band ,You Dropped The Bomb On Me-The Gap Band,Freak A Zoid-Midnight Starr,Space Cowboy-Jonzun Crew..we had so many great dance hits in the 80s,loved it all! Keep On Rockin'

[@sarablack2547]

There was a music programme in the UK called top of the pops that ran from60's-00's on the BBC when cameo was on he wore the red codpiece and it was talked about.the detective in the video was played by levar Burton who was Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also played Kunta Kinte in roots. On KZbin there are alot of performances from top of the pops you can react to.

[@lynda3860]

This has me dancing whenever I hear it even today its so good

[@EastCoastGal66]

At 5:10 🔥 We we’re getting it back then on the dance floor!😃 Everyone was very serious about this music !

[@The_Truth_209]

Cameo - Candy 🔥🔥🔥💯

[@funfanacyland1172]

Baby boy im glad y’all learned what real music with real instruments sound like and how it feels 😢

[@patrickmurchison9145]

Cameo has so many great songs...some Funky and some Slow and Sentimental!!! They were super talented!!! Their song "Talking Out The Side of Your Neck" is played by quite a few HBCU marching bands!!! It's often referred to simply as, "NECK." Search "HBCU Marching Band NECK" and see what I'm talkin' 'bout!!! 😀

[@jeffridgeway7474]

This was a perfect reaction, because it doesn’t matter who you are, this one puts a grin on your face!

[@dannwalker9865]

Candy is a really good, fun song of theirs too! You had me giggling too, watching you enjoy it but also clearly a little confused and maybe wanting to laugh too 🤣😂 So many emotions on your face 😅

[@willfromyadkinville]

80's baby! dance clubs were jumping! you got check out taste like candy, single life at least! they had a lot of club hits back then!

[@jacqueline4514]

We had it so good! “CANDY” is a must react song ❤️

[@GBofOH]

Back in the day, as soon as this song came on everyone would be on the dance floor!

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic Cameo ❤❤❤❤

[@kurtadams3021]

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Larry Blackmon ❤❤❤

[@kabirahnazeem9403]

This song is what made the slang WORD popular

[@nonenone7250]

got to remember internet really never kicked in until late 1990s so the real way musicians sold the music was thru videos and radio play and tv interviews... .... that was their exposore... so they did fairly good what was their for them at that tyme...

[@followthekitty]

Fk yeah man!!! I remember when this came out! If you haven't done so, check out Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant. It vibes like this...

[@charleswilliams6236]

A very good song

[@Nurse66]

THIS WAS OUR RAP!!!! I WAS IN A SCHOOL THAT WAS 80% BLACK SO WE ALL WHITE BLACK EVERYONE LISTENED TO RAP!!!!! YOU PUT THIS SONG ON AND EVERYONE WOULD KNOW IT AND DANCE!!!!! NO DIVISION!!!!😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@onepieceofgumleft]

If you liked this , you should check out Whodini “The Freaks Come Out at Night”. Another great 80’s jam.

[@jansjodahl3009]

Guaranteed everyone hit the dance floor when this came on

[@Hachiko814]

You have to listen to the Korn cover of this. Korn - Word Up... It is amazing!

[@sharonmincey6023]

Just React to their other Hits...All of them: Candy Flirt Single Life Sparkle Hanging Downtown She's Strange You're Welcome 😊

[@gpreactions3194]

Haha love the look on your faces. Cameo had a few great hits. The policeman with the megaphone also played a blind character in Star Trek The Next Generation.

[@tiffanytosh1569]

Yes! I thought I recognized him…Levar Burton.

[@TurnerSnell]

Reading rainbow

[@richardbazile4455]

We called this "head bobbing music ", nuff said

[@Mike-kv5pl]

Check out their song FLIRT.

[@OlleStahlberg]

I’ve seen quite a few of your reactions but never seen you this happy. Why? Because: FUNK. It’s natural. Larry Blackmon, singer, had two super funky side projects: L.A Connection and Mantra, around 1981 (and Cameo was amazing then too). Maybe not for reaction, but take my word for it - you WANT to hear them! A nice music video by Cameo - She’s strange. The are SOOO funky! 😎👍🏾

[@marcharley6465]

If you'd like to react to more Cameo, I recommend "She's strange". Such a good band.

[@darrylvonrokk]

she's strange....Candy......

[@EastCoastGal66]

That’s my favorite!🔥

[@teresaali6658]

You just can’t beat the 80s for fun music 🎉

[@Chihome]

Loving little bro man! Keep doing your thing brothers!

[@DonDada501]

Young Quez in a minute freestyle 🤣🤣

[@christarpley6861]

It's hard to beat this kind of music the 60s through the 90s was pretty much good

[@ScottyM1959]

Man this blew right into the 90s because i was rockin the clubs to this

[@S.M.SuperHero]

You youngstas are funny!😆😅😂That's that head-bobbing effect... IT GOTCHA! ... This is when people PLAYED INSTRUMENTS for real. (and not just a keyboard hooked to a computer!) There was HORNS... BASS GUITAR... RHYTHM & LEAD GUITAR... VOCALS (with no Auto-Tune)... It's called "real music" guys!!! Nowadays, mostly all music is just "computer trickery." BUT THIS WAS THE 80'S YALL... You had to have TALENT!!! Yall will never know what an exciting time yall missed. Just imagine all your music sounding ENERGIZED and FUNKY like this!!!

[@knowngorilla8745]

Banger

[@johnvetere]

Great song back in our day. Thank you for the react!

[@ShogunOfHarlem]

Think about reaction to some more Cameo. "Shake Your Pants", "She's Strange", "Attack Me With Your Love", etc.

[@stang7342]

Gotta do Candy!!!

[@Maybei4]

Real talent

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

Also check out Poison by Bell Biv DeVoe 🔥

[@shawnmurdock8059]

The 80s were the best, everybody was having a great time, they did what they wanted and enjoyed life - basically the opposite of today, This song is a good jam, and I am basically a 80s metal head. Music and movies and left will never be the way it was. I would go back in a minute.

[@cathyfisher7894]

Ya little brother looks like he wants to jump up and dance🤣

[@laraismyname821]

This is the most 80s thing that ever happened. Btw that's LeVar Burton (Reading Rainbow, Roots, Star Trek) as the detective.

[@mindyw782]

Roller skating in the '80's to this.

[@dougg8167]

guys, i could tell that you wanted to start dancing. This is a reaction vid, let loose boys. Lots of fun whacting you guys. Keep it up

[@winslow551]

Some deep deep funk! Love it!!!

[@maverick6662]

this was one of the cooles Song of the 80s.........Greeting from Germany

[@phohead]

My first time seeing someone else in the reaction. I like this guy; he shut down the other guy from being his usual negative else.

[@Justin-lu3he]

party music for sure this song will get people to get on the dance floor even till this day party on😄

[@coreywickramasekera9968]

That's Lavar Burton from READING RAINBOW 🌈, and STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION, I think he was in the original ROOTS too, Tobie/ Kunta Qinta

[@XlouietheflyX]

He sure was the young Kunta in Roots

[@Mildred-j9w]

You should have this guy with you more often.

[@ripfbgduck1692]

BRO YALL GOT TO REACT YO “fonzo 6700 ova viral “ TRUST

[@TheMkamix]

Great jam from the 80s.

[@SuperSteeler98]

Check out Korn's version. It's way heavier!

[@mamaflush9945]

Here's a band I think I've seen you react to only once, so I thought I'd suggest another "Dire Straits - Telegraph Road Live- aLCHEMY Tour 1983" Nice reaction guys👍

[@nycholcrowder1977]

I love that you can't help but move to the beat.

[@italoromero4177]

[@ellerootz6702]

Yup, it's funky!

[@kurtadams3021]

Pure uncut Funk 🤘🏾

[@echopryme]

This song OWNS!!! 😎 That level of "fuck the world" cool just doesn't happen anymore!

[@ginawhisnant9966]

Ask almost any GenXer "What's the word?" And they will reply "Word UP!" The cop is Levar Burton, Star Trek's Gordie Laforge.

[@strettoasino9006]

Punk/New Wave finding it's way into the inner city

[@roguekris9483]

Lavar Burton as the cop

[@richie6921]

One of the best songs ever made

[@michaelmorrow9048]

My Friend!!! Cameos - SINGLE LIFE "I'm living the... Single Single Single...LIFE!!"

Cameo was as good as it gets in any era, period.

[@damonhines8187]

Speak tf up Shawn, we went through this going, "Huh?" with Crys too.

[@htbald1]

You used to get a plaque from Billboard if you hit the #1 position and depending on how you long you stayed there, you might have received another one.

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

Your brother is speaking the truth...no more vids like this again. 💯😔

[@TheRealKymiPoo]
