A couple of fun facts about this song: The original title was called "Escape". When the song became popular, people would go into record stores and ask the clerk "Do you have that pina colada song?" which is a reference to the lyric in the song. The record label had heard about this and decided to add in parenthesis (The Pina Colada Song). So, the full title of the song is "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)". This song also became the final #1 song of the 1970's, and the first #1 song of the 1980's. That was due to the fact that the song went to #1 on the Billboard charts in mid-December 1979, and stayed at #1 for several weeks going into 1980. No other artist or group has done that before.

When that song "Rapper's Delight" came out, people were flocking to record stores asking the clerk "Do you have song that goes hip-hop, a hippie-to the hip-hop"? which of course is the opening rhyme to the song. This is how the term "hip hop" came to be.

I laughed SO HARD when Amber said Rupert Holmes was dressed like a middle school science teacher, because I was thinking the EXACT same thing! I've heard this song on the radio plenty of times, but I had no idea what he looked like, and the fact that he wore that outfit to sing this sexy song is hilariously incongruous to me. In the last verse, I always also wonder whether his lady said, "Oh! It's you!" or "Oh. It's you." The song leaves it ambiguous. 😄

I mean, he was responding to the ad which meant she was planning on leaving him before he was planning on leaving her. Why is it that when a guy plans to leave a girl that he's a prick or the worst person in the world but when a girl plans to leave a guy its all good and must be his fault? Its one of the many annoying double standards out there.

[@darthraider7935]

@O. B. except it's not... as stated its the "usual" reaction. IF it was the woman cheating, which she was planning to as well in the song, as it was her advertisement that he was responding to, the reaction by most women is this... the guy must have been doing something wrong for the woman to cheat on them. Yet if its the guy cheating on the woman, then he's a prick thinking with just his dick. Its a lose-lose for men on this subject. IF the guys cheating, he's a dick, IF the woman's cheating its because the guys a dick!! Its been that way forever, instead of it being maybe just the woman was a cheater and its not just the guy being bad!!

YESSS! I’m so glad you guys did this song! I haven’t seen anyone else do it!🥰🥰

He rewrote the lyrics to the song the night before going into the studio. He worried the surprise ending would be given away early so he recorded it straight through to see if his guitar player would figure it out. He realized his lyrics didn't fit the rhythm of the song so he squeezed them in or stretched them out to fit the music. He planned to fix the lyrics and re-record later but ran out of time and figuring it was just an album filler track he left it as is. The record company surprised him by wanting to release it as a single. That's why the song has a conversational feel to it that makes you pay more attention to the story.

Your reaction to this song is hands-down my favorite so far. This song was a big hit my senior year in high school so I'm well familiar with the punchline. There's a great interview with Rupert Holmes regarding this song on the KZbin channel "The Professor of Rock." Anyway, loved your reaction. You paid attention to all the lyrics and I suspected the last verse was going to get to you both.

[@dinomustang]

Instantly one of my favorite reaction videos ever...😂😂

[@lonestarbrigade5959]

Your reaction to this song is priceless!!!

[@HiddenCharmhome]

Y’all I actually pulled over to watch this! 😂😂😂 your reaction was beautiful! I had never seen the guy before…. And Im not sure how I feel now

[@RobSquadReactions]

That’s so funny! Be careful!!

[@sampuatisamuel9785]

Rupert is so cute in his science teacher sort of way

[@shawnsnow2655]

This was by far the best reaction you've two done! Your shock was priceless.! ❤ you two!

[@jafo321]

I believe Rupert was one of a few song writers who decided to actually sing their own songs. Not talking an actual singer song writer, talking about song writers who write and sell their music to artists. That's why he has the "middle school science teacher" vibe look. Dude is talented. Had the voice just not much on stage presence. Great song. Grew up in that era.

[@andymiltner1713]

This my favorite reaction video from you guys. You had me laughing so hard I was crying. Awesome! I was a teen when this song came out and it was hugely popular for all the reasons you mentioned. Well done. Love you guys.

[@richelliott9320]

I’ve watched this at least four times and I crack up every time

[@DeathStarKitty]

A fun thing about this song is that "Pina Colada" was "Humphrey Bogart" a few minutes before recording. He wanted to see if the story worked so he ran through the song for the band to see if they could see the twist before he got to it in the song. As he prepped to sing it the first time he thought the original chorus of "If you like Humphrey Bogart" had a noir feel and he wanted something fun and light so he picked a tropical drink. That one choice informed the rest of the song.

To his credit, David Goldstein (a.k.a. Rupert Holmes) is a noted author, composer and musician. His lyrics are a testament to his genius, as he is not only a gifted artist, but a clever storyteller.

Before the internet that was our version of OK Cupid and Tinder. Magazines and newspapers had personal ad sections. There was also video dating where you recorded a VHS of yourself and sent it in to a matchmaking company. People would go in and view the videos like they were going to the library and the matchmakers would put the people in touch. Never did video dating but I did answer a couple of ads.

[@theodoreritola9758]

Im way more into the music THAN THE WORDS , Love the vibe

[@StarDancer574]

I did the original ads too "back in the day".... It was far more romantic than just swyping based on looks. Lol

[@AlexisBaños-f1i]

Me alegra mucho que a jóvenes como ustedes les gusten los clásicos 😃😃😃 , excelente, son muy bellos , ❤️❤️🥇🥇🤗🤗 , yo tengo 53 años, esa fue una época muy linda para mi

[@sharonstark1014]

Your right Amber he looks like a teacher! I remember when this song came out and then I saw the person who sang it, I couldn't believe it LOL. thanks for posting.

[@sagittarian1955]

I was sitting here, cracking up every time you paused it to voice your reaction at that point, BECAUSE I KNEW WHAT WAS COMING!!!! Your reactions were PRICELESS!!!! If you want to hear some authentic beach music, try some Jimmy Buffett "Margaritaville".

[@chrisjensen1067]

I'd never seen this video before. His facial expressions, how he thinks he's being so smooth, is priceless.

[@chriswilson8180]

He did the singing in one take. Never sang the song before and changed some lyrics. He wanted to sing it to see if others figured it out before the end. First time he sang is what was recorded. Amazing story

[@CarolynStewart-v5q]

The bar is called O'Malley's. Rupert Holmes was a writer for other artists but this song was such a huge hit for him. I love this! And you guys are hilarious.

[@georgehilbish1564]

Love Amber’s reaction to his girl walking in, had me laughing hard.

[@kelkora]

I've always taken this song to be about a single important thing: don't let your relationship stagnant and never forget why you feel in love with your partner

[@ajruther67]

Omgosh, this song is going to get stuck in my head again. It does every time I hear it but of course I have to be here to watch your reaction

[@footballlover9207]

Heard it before the movie, but who remembers this in Guardians Of The Galaxy?

[@christopherfcunha]

lol you guys made me cry laughing! Thanks for that. When it started to click for you guys that was the best part. Personal ads back then really was about all there was other than a phone call. lol Thanks guys for a great laugh.

[@bekindandrewind1422]

5:21 --- The MOST insane thing... Is that this song was written here on Long Island and O'Malley's was a very real place...
