Kylie Minogue - The Loco-Motion (Official 4k Video)

Kylie’s 1987 Australian debut single ‘Locomotion’ was re-recorded as ‘The Loco-Motion’ the following year by the Hit Factory’s Stock Aitken and Waterman. The new version propelled Kylie into global pop stardom, reaching No. 2 in the UK, No. 3 in the US (her biggest US hit) and No.1 in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Israel, Japan and South Africa. The track - a cover of Little Eva’s American dancefloor smash, written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin - featured on Kylie’s 7x platinum (UK) debut album, Kylie, and remains one of her successful single releases to date.
Lyrics
All aboard
The loco-motion, the loco-motion
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Oh well, I think you got the knack
Ohh, oh
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
The loco-motion
Come on, come on
The loco-motion
Come on, come on
The loco-motion
Come on, come on
Come on
Move around the floor in a loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on
Do the loco-motion with me
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
(Come on, do the loco-motion)
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on, do the loco-motion
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion
Come on, come on, do the loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now, yeah
Come on, baby, mmm, jump up, jump back

Kylie has come out with hits in every decade! That's so very rare! And such a treat!

[@YouTubeStopmotionanimator]

It's incredible, who would have thought years ago, when the media said she'd be a 'flash in the pan', 35 years later, Padam Padam Top.10 and Tension Top.20 U.K hits, a great time to be a HUGE Kylie fan(s) Whooop! :)

[@jadeemerson301]

I know her from the early 2000s with her trance hits. It wasn’t until this year I realized she was famous in the 1980s.

[@StylinRed]

@@jadeemerson301 that's cool I didn't know she was the same 80s Kylie I heard when I was a kid until I got older thought they were two different ppl

[@oig40203]

She just never made it big in the USA. Not sure why that is.

[@StylinRed]

@@oig40203 she was big for a brief time in the 00s, but the usa keeps moving onto the next, staying power is rare

WOW, I LOVE Kylie's remake of this song, she did this song SO AWESOMELY and she is AWESOME and also, Kylie is one of the MOST GORGEOUS women and VERY talented.

[@tashneame6023]

I know this is the version that hit the big time, but the original Aussie version from 1987 holds a special place in my heart.

[@nambourwesleyan]

Totally agree. A bit rockier and less produced and showed how deep her natural voice can be.

[@rossmatheson4303]

I'm confused. The other YT link with this video / version says that this version is the 1987 original. Which is which?

[@tashneame6023]

@@rossmatheson4303 the footage in the clips is identical but the musical backing track & arrangement is different in each. this is the Stock, Aitken and Waterman version.

​@@tashneame6023ah, thanks. I'll check the other track out and look for the differences.

[@rudewalrus5636]

The original was from 1962 by Little Eva; for me its the 1974 Grand Funk Railroad version that is closest to my heart.

[@danikaos]

Sassy, funny, bubblegum pop. Perfect,. Thanks Kylie for everything always.

[@Dark_Autumn]

Exactly right, and I think that every time I watch this. So much for the critics who said this was manufactured pop. So what if it is, it's still a great song. As Kylie said, if an artist is signed to a record label, then to some extent they're manufactured because they're a product and they're also selling a product, but it doesn't mean that you're not talented.

[@carlovincent]

What an absolute treat!

Fun fact, 35 years ago (as of 2023), this song would be the highest successful song to reach the US Hot 100 peaking at #3. Her cover of the Little Eva’s 1962 hit along with ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ would help her become a worldwide pop icon. ❤

[@AJLangford]

Kylie and I are the same age so clear memories when she burst onto the scene, and she did indeed, make big waves. There was some criticism of her and her voice which many people now probably aren't aware of but she stuck to her guns and kept putting out hit after hit. Got to see her live in London (where she was bigger than Australia at that time), and ran into Molly Meldrum in the audience haha. Good old Molly. Well done Kylie on a stellar career. Who would have thought? The new work is as good as anything over the past 36 years (and it's hard for me to acknowledge that it's really been that long). Life sure does goes fast. Enjoy while you can. Peace. 🙏💚

[@j4Rose]

What was the criticism?

[@AJLangford]

That she couldn't sing. That the producers manipulated her voice. They called her the Singing Budgie.@@j4Rose

[@Ruby16663]

​@j4Rose My God, did she cop a lot of criticism, long story but yes she did and soldiered on

[@Dark_Autumn]

I'd be interested to know if all the critics can sing and if they’ve had a successful recording career spanning nearly 40 years? Oh my...it can't really be that long...can it?! 😮 Apologies to my mum and brother for constantly playing this and "I Should Be So Lucky" when they were released! Oh well, is everyone ready? Let's do this... *All aboard* !

[@dennisjenkins7040]

Man, I had forgotten how gorgeous this lady was and what an incredible singing voice she had. One of my favorite songs and she did it perfect.

I couldn't let this year pass without acknowledging my 35th Kylie-versary! 35 years ago I was walking down the halls of Stevenson Elementary School in Decatur, IL and heard this coming from the gym where the cheerleaders were practicing. Well, that was it for me, I fell in love! There are very few people in this world who have brought the immense joy to my life that Kylie Minogue has. Through some good times and bad, there has always been Kylie. I could always put on a Kylie song and believe for a few minutes that everything was ok. Thank you, Kylie.
