Very powerful live performance of this great Jackson song.

[@theyoungupstarts1243]

Great song - says so much. Punk without being thrash. Saw Joe and the gang only once at the SDSU Amphitheater in San Diego back in the day.

[@tomharrower580]

Even Though this song was done so long ago, I Love it for all it is worth! Besides being such a KICK ASS song, look at how much fun all the band members are having. This is what it is all about people.....Rock the Fuck on Joe!!

[@racketman2u]

Another Joe Jackson song crafted from pure gold.

[@trviewer]

What a great song !!!

[@gclarke59]

I saw him live at the Tower Theater in Philly and at Pulsations nightclub. He recorded that concert at Pulsations and I believe some made it to the record. Awesome!!!

[@paulkent1964]

Such a great songwriter, musician and singer. A one off. Love his music

[@rsearun2620]

That is a jam.

[@joeltudor521966]

Outstanding!!!!

[@redfishradical]

I caught the Night & Day tour & it was freaking AWESOME... But THIS is EASILY MY FAVORITE VERSION OF TJIS RELENTLESS RAMPAGING STATEMENT ON MASS CONSUMERISM! As fucking tight as it gets! Man I LOVE ME SOME Mr. Eclectic!! Thanks for sharing!

[@JJfanz]

I think that this might be my favourite comment on these videos! Make sure you watch the version of 'One More Time' from this show as Maby's bass is next level. Also, 'Another World' is fantastic.

[@mikerevello3828]

The alternative name for this song could be: Ode to Edward Bernays Consumerist Extraordinaire

[@orangelion03]

What a man !

[@chaz6645]

Pretty soon now, you know I'm gonna make a comeback And like the birds and the bees in the trees, it's a sure-fire smash I'll speak to the masses through the media And if you got anything to say to me, you can say it with cash 'Cause I've got the trash And you got the cash So baby we should get along fine So give me all your money 'Cause I know you think I'm funny, yeah Can't you hear me laughing Can't you see me smile I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo Kung fu, well that was one of my good ones Well what's a few broken bones when we all know it's good clean fun Skateboards, I've almost made them respectable You see I can't always get through to you, so I go for your son I had a giant rubber shark And it really made a mark Did you looka looka look it all the blood So give me all your money 'Cause I know you think I'm funny, yeah Can't you hear me laughing Can't you see me smile I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo Right now, I think I'm gonna plan a new trend Because the line on the graph's getting low and we can't have that And you think you're immune, but I can sell you anything Anything from a thin safety pin to a pork pie hat 'Cause I've got the trash And you got the cash So baby we should get along fine Why don't you give me all your money 'Cause I know you think I'm funny, yeah Can't you hear me laughing Can't you see me smile I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop I'm the man I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

[@hamupinhere]

Branscombe Richmond really tears up the second drum kit on this one.

[@tulllguy]

[@JJfanz]

Graham Maby. Fantastic always.

[@jeffreyknupp1]

Graham Maby is one of the best!

[@xjamesxreedx]

That Steinberger, though.

[@rickthaler]

the lefty drummer looks llike Rod Morgenstein ....his name is Dan Hickey (i think)

[@andyinoregon]

Put this song on a loop with The Romantics "What I Like About You."

[@andyinoregon]

How much does the chorus remind you of The Romantics' "What I Like About You" ?

[@johnanderson8624]

poor lyin" joe. try'n 2 stay relevant. sad...

[@JJfanz]

Huh? This is a 1991 performance. I saw him on that tour and it was anything but sad - he was still at the top of his game.

[@johnanderson8624]

hi jj. every time i here this song about the ultimate huckster i think it should be donald j trump's theme song so that was me miming one of his tweets. sorry about the confusion. rather obscure but i thought the LYIN' JOE would give it away. and thanks for posting the video!

[@JJfanz]

ok, got it now.... I don't live in the US. Some of us have noticed that your new President isn't very good but I missed this reference.

[@seankelleher5019]

@@johnanderson8624 yeah I didn't get it at first either. But... I do now. Funny

[@johnanderson8624]

u guys don't live in USA & u still got it? u are amazing! for the rest of u: the song is about a flim/flam man like a certain donald j trump. trump calls people by 4th graders nicknames & call them sad. but what really surprises me is that trump ain't taking more credit for cutting down on the amount of immigrants to the USA. people are not as anxious to move here anymore. hell i was born & raised here & i ain't thrilled about it anymore.
