Rapper FIRST time REACTIOn to Robert Palmer - Simply Irresistible!! DAMN,, Shorty...

[@MichaelKing-de4jz]

R.I.P Robert Palmer.

[@karlweir3198]

Yes

[@metatechnologist]

We all miss him he was a class act to all that knew him. Sadly he was a heavy smoker, he passed waaay too young at 54 😭

[@module79l28]

_"You guys stream his music, support this brother. Let's go!"_ Oh, wait... 🤦‍♂

[@MasterJohnMoss]

The biggest problem with this video?? That we didn't get more of them. R.I.P.

[@PRGidaro]

Best dressed man in rock. Love this guy.

[@jenniezamek2849]

Absolutely!

[@jimfrederick3907]

Not even a close second!

[@yes_i_am_THAT_michael_taylor]

That would be Charlie Watts.😊

[@katscully]

“SOME LIKE IT HOT” Robert Palmer & The Power Station. 🔥

[@annephillips8494]

Get It On.🤞

[@andreadeamon6419]

I agree

[@MissouriJohnson]

I remember the 1st time I experienced this on Friday Night Videos. Yes, I'm that old.

[@KLStorer]

Robert was a "pop dude" ONLY in the sense that he was "popular." If you think he is simply a pop artist, you clearly haven't heard a lot of his work. He's done some the best white R&B and soul out there. He has a great range. He even did one of the best standards albums out there by any pop or rock artists.

[@infinitygirlak]

The album was named 'Heavy Nova' because he said his style was a cross between Heavy Metal and Bosa Nova. Gotta love him. His stuff with Power Station ( Guitar and Bass from Duran Duran and drummer from Chic ) was top shelf, too.

[@severedties100]

"I didn't mean to turn you on " to finish the trilogy

[@rlan1199]

"She's so fine, there's no tellin where the money went." Great lyric.

[@kallsop2]

Ain't that the truth?

[@KLStorer]

Also: "She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went" is one of the great lines in rock and roll.

[@dangabbert3944]

Absolutely!

[@tatsuwa]

This is Robert Palmers 'Simply Iresistible' song that when you reviewed Shania Twain's song 'I Feel Like a Woman' with the male dancers you were curious about. Her parody on patriarchy.

[@JeffPhillips-dn2fg]

I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On- Robert Palmer. BP Robert Palmer had 2 follow up top 3 USA music charting bangers (Simply Irres and I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On) to his #1 hit Addicted to Love. He was all over the music map in the mid 80s. Love to see you react to this one as well. Keep on keeping on BP and thanks!

[@sarahdixon1943]

Great song!!!!

[@s.rry-guld2961]

This is what We called Pop-Rock in the 80's This song was everywhere but never once did it get old to us that grew up in the era

[@JanuzTrance68]

"She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went" Yep

[@stephenlee7877]

Robert Palmer had hits after hits, gentleman rocker 👏👏

[@lindy1642]

They ladies all said he was such a gentleman. His suits were sharp and he had very expressive eyes

[@deaninegant2725]

With the same clothes, hair, skin tone, it creates an illusion that each girl is almost identical.

[@Limbaboog]

(doctor, doctor) Bad case of loving you. is a good one

[@sherikaTN46]

Robert Palmer, oh yeaaah! ❤ Loved all his music and what a sexy hunk he was in those suits.

[@dinaarmymom9145]

More Robert Palmer with the Power Station.

[@PSBFAN1991]

They did a great cover of Get it On.

[@aaroncote6750]

Yep, another rabbit hole. The Power Station is him with the guitarist and bass player from Duran Duran…

[@katscully]

@@dinaarmymom9145 “SOME LIKE IT HOT”🔥🔥👍🥂

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸 I remember when this came out and it was such a fun song

[@simonesays7222]

I love everything from Robert Palmer. And the man himself, may he rest in peace. My favourite RP song: 💕She Makes My Day💕 . Thank you, BP!

[@revgurley]

Loved it when he was part of the Supergroup Power Station with some of the guys from Duran Duran. One of the most underrated albums from the late 80s.

[@byronkbb.1056]

Dern, finally caught up to you. Thank you for this channel man. It has taken over my TV lol I can’t get away from me because you play my music. I’m 65-year-old white boy and you reactions to this music that you’ve never heard before is amazing. Thanks again you rock.

[@garyfallows1123]

Robert Palmer was the epitome of cool in the 80's, such a loss, taken way too early, check out his cover of Marvin Gaye's Mercy Mercy Me (I Want You) 🇬🇧

[@GrandmaShirley-op4jm]

And now you know why teen boys loved MTV back in the day 😂

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

Robert Palmer was awesome!!! You should check out "Some Like It Hot", by the Power Station!! Robert Palmer on vocals with John and Andy Taylor from Duran Duran on Bass & Guitar with the legendary Tony Thompson on Drums!! A Supergroup from the 80's!!

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

Arnold Palmer was a big golf player back in the 50s and 60s.

[@christarpley6861]

Tskes me back to my high school days

[@singluna888]

Great song. He brought sexy back before JT.

[@brianhetzer8421]

The way I understand it, the label wanted him to have sexy women in his videos, but he refused, wanting to have class and let his music and voice to the talking. The label kept insisting, so he went WAY over the top and had not models in all his videos.

[@matthewdooley7855]

This video inspired some shots in one of Shania Twain's video, because the looks in this video were just iconic when it came out. My dad used to say "she's got beautiful... teeth". We also need to remember there was a time before Kim K made cake the reigning beauty standard.

[@ellenbakker-w8x]

He died way too early. I think early 50's. In those days he was a big hit and was praised for these specific video's. Other artists even made parodies of them. Thanks for this great reaction. It was nice to see that you enjoyed it so much.

[@TheDopekitty]

Anyone notable besides Shania?

[@DonnaLane-pw4rg]

Rest in peace Robert Palmer 😂😂😂

[@Libragirl2369]

Check out his song Bad case of loving you great song

[@alexamcdonald4374]

I grew up listening to this and for some reason I'm just now realizing how much charisma he had.

[@kims.schinkel8212]

Obviously the inspiration for Shania Twain's video for "Man, I Feel Like a Woman". Sorry to risk putting in an earworm.

[@mitchchartrand]

It's not obvious. It was Addicted to Love that was the inspiration. It's the reason he's reacting to this song, as this is the follow-up of Shania and then Addicted to Love.

[@alexhaas9653]

Christmas Is All Around was inspired by it too. Performed by the great Bill Nighy (as Billy Mack).

[@CoastalNomad]

I was checking Comments before Making a Similiar Comment......

[@musicfan8688]

FWIW Addicted to Love was 1986, Simply Irresistable was 1988, Man, I Feel Like a Woman was 1999.

[@CoastalNomad]

@@musicfan8688 Correct.....

[@BeccaM24]

I liked his Power Station band too. It had the guitarist from Duran Duran.

[@eggy1962]

Other Robert Palmer songs….Johnny and Mary…..Mercy Mercy Me ( I want You ) and my favourite Every Kind Of People.

[@michelewith1l636]

The 1st song of his I heard was Sneakin Sally Thru The Alley. Been a fan ever since. RIP Mr Palmer.

[@DonnaLane-pw4rg]

That's when skinny in the model era❤❤

[@stephenpublicover8818]

Hey Black P, Robert Palmer was the man back in the 80s ,Great song to dance to with your lady!😉🥶👌👍✌

[@alexhaas9653]

If you're interested in a more funky, early Robert Palmer, I'd recommend "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" from his 1974 album.

[@laraismyname821]

Yes. That's my favorite Robert Palmer. But including the 2 preceding songs "Sailin' Shoes' & "Hey Julia" are a MUST. They were mixed to flow into each other on the album & it's just such perfect engineering.

[@karengoodenough827]

My fav! You can really hear Lowell George influence on that!

[@kevincaulder96]

Ok, Pegasus. Robert Palmer is a beast. R.I.P. When the videos for his trilogy of hits included this look for the women, they were very popular on the MTV rotation. This song, in particular, was spun off into a commercial for Pepsi. The first two songs, ADDICTED TO LOVE, and the more rhythmic I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON were criticized for making the women look like mannequins. Or a fetish for necrophiliacs. But tgat didn't stop Tone-Loc from copying the trend to promote his hit single WILD THING. Or the Shania Twain single MAN, I FEEL LIKE A WOMAN! But don't sleep on Robert Palmer. His catalog is truly good. BAD CASE OF LOVING YOU, YOU'RE GONNA GET WHAT'S COMING, and LOOKING FOR CLUES are worth a listen. Keep going and enjoy

[@genie674]

Great song. Absolutely love it. Robert Palmer always looked suave.

[@joankisloski6972]

Wait a few years... the butt will fill in on it's own. LOL

[@melanieleon5130]

NO CHECK OUT SNEAKING THRU THE ALLEY WITH SALLY!!!!!!

[@dlpowers3898]

Love Robert Palmer's contributions to the music world! He also sang in Power Station with Duran Duran's John & Andy Taylor for a time. So sad when he had a heart attack @ 54 (he heavily smoked since a teenager) and we lost this amazing talent =/ thanks for sharing Black Pegasus :)

[@judylee9022]

Oh you gotta react to his smash hit " bad case of loving you ( doctor doctor) next please, thank you!

[@kallsop2]

👍💯

[@rons3634]

In case you didn't notice it, the song is pretty damn good too.

[@laurenblainebamartistmgt]

This song was simply irresistible back in the day when it came out. Heard it EVERYWHERE. Also, I believe that he was after MC Hammer. I love joining you in your enthusiasm!

[@greglegakis4177]

There wasn't any "scissoring" as far as I could see.

[@jaccilowe3842]

Agreed. I hate this guy's sexist, smutty remarks! From a rapper, no less!🤣

[@larzakalazerath6655]

I don't know if anyone ells has told you but you had it right, they were all models from the 80's. That was part of the idea of her being "Simply Irresistible" they sold us everything under the sun with these Ladies. Hence the line directly after (She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went)

[@DonnaLane-pw4rg]

Black Pegasus it's called skinny minis ❤❤❤lol

[@3DJapan]

These rumps look pretty good to me, I wouldn't complain.

[@gallery963]

"There's no tellin' where the money went"

[@andydurazo5337]

Lost way to young! R.I.P. Robert Palmer

[@RamseyHaddadWZ]

“There’s no telling where the money went…”

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

Gotta chack out his song "Doctor, Doctor". It's a banger.

[@donnasmith5942]

Loved his music. The sings were so catchy..

[@AJMartínezVal]

In his own way, Robert Palmer is the white James Brown. In fact, they have a concert together in which at one point in the show they improvise a rhythm in which each one shows his respect and admiration for the other. But Robert Palmer is a great musician with a high sensitivity and deep songs. His roots are buried in soul.

[@AJMartínezVal]

This is proof of what I said. Tremendous and unknown performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6XYi618iKiSZ7s

[@melissagrover9727]

He is British.

Robert Palmer was excellent... loved him and still listening to it. Better any day than most will ever be. Very sad day the day he died.❤

[@ginaloverofangels]

BP I could have sworn you'd played this before. Loved your energy. RIP Robert Palmer.

[@julieCA58]

He reviewed Addicted to Love. Threw me for a second, too.

[@MiguelLopez-b8o]

Robert Palmer died a few years ago. RIP

[@ElsieAng456]

I always loved this man's music and music videos and this was also one of my favorites and I used to dress like these girls back then when this first came out even, I looked so different in my style now 🤣🤭 🤘🏽🔥⚡🎶❤️‍🔥🫶🏽

[@chelseahaley8350]

Robert Palmer is 💯 a pimp! 😆 U should dive back into INXS! Please check out New Sensation, Devil Inside, or Need u tonight! 🙌

[@michaelconnor1542]

Don't forget SirMix-a-lots's Put'um On The Glass.

[@stephenpresley5772]

Great song and reaction

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

Check out “Bad Case of Loving You” by Robert Palmer. It came out at the same time and coincided with a Dr. Pepper commercial.

[@beadybaby]

Robert Palmer girls. We weren’t even offended lol. It was a supermodel thing. PS check out Ally McBeal

[@Kmd2574]

THE SCISSOR 😭🤣

[@patriciafootejohnson2817]

Sounds like he divorced the woman and she used the support payments to spruce herself up and she now dresses and looks sexy for revenge so he says she used to look good but now she's simply irresistible and she's so good he doesn't know where the money went. Robert has s great soul and rock and roll voice .

[@traciemack6168]

Love this song! Thank you! 🙃

[@rlosangeleskings]

Next up should be a duo of Palmer's Addicted To Love followed by Weird Al's Addicted To Spids videos...

[@myntami]

Robert is awesome! I first fell in love with him on a little song called "Looking For Clues". The video for the time was awesome for this nerd girl. I believe the girls in the black dresses in this video are the same girls from Addicted to Love but don't quote me. 😁 I'd be there for any Robert reactions! He was great with Power Station as well. ❤🔥

[@jenniezamek2849]

I think he wanted all the girls to look alike. All brunette, same hair-do, same makeup, same body type, etc. No blondes, redheads, or "chocolate" (as you said).

[@actuariallurker9650]

He's not the pimp- you here the "whip" sound effect- they are in control

[@kbrewski1]

One of the most overplayed songs/videos of all time. A pure formula song.

[@petermacmillan4540]

Do you want to know where the money went? Try Sunspot Baby - Bob Seger

[@KalElvis]

Big hit in it's day.

[@renlessard]

Palmer was awesome and boy did he have a type lol. RIP

[@jyesucevitz]

Doctor, Doctor!

[@kenyonsgirl415]

As a little girl, these women were who I aspired to become 😅❤

[@johnnyenglish33]

And did you make it?

[@mbierregaard9040]

You should check out his song Mercy, Mercy Mercy/I Want You. Really good. Loved your reaction. ❤😊

[@matthewashman1406]

Great English singer 😊 there was zero country in this song 😂.

Arnold palmer drink named after the goat golfer ⛳ iced tea lemonade mix

[@sabrinapittsley2304]

Some call it Arnie Palmer, like in the movie, The Other Guys 😂

[@HalGailey]

No commentary on the greatest line in music history? "She's so fine, there's no telling where the money went"

[@melanieleon5130]

Only hot models and pop artist in this last album

[@Puzz...693]

She's all good loving wants ❤.. Looking for clues ❤

[@gfaithowens1790]

Actually Queen released Fat Bottomed Girls before this video. It was late 70s. But in the 80s it was all about those skinny chicks.

[@melanieleon5130]

He used to be a funky artist. Then everyone wanted this MTV shit

[@timmoser3526]

He was very good, only a few top hits, but many good songs! He also played with power station, did a cover of Bang a gong, many good tunes on that LP. Was turned onto Palmer, in his early days, pressure drop, sneaking sally through the ally!

[@eurofritz4617]

The super group "Power Station" needs to be your next Robert Palmer reaction

[@MissouriJohnson]

Back in the day when MTV played music videos, they played this so much that you could set your watch by it.

[@laraismyname821]

I like 1970s Robert Palmer better (but I love his 80s stuff too). The best thing I think he's ever done was "Sailin' Shoes" / "Hey Julia" / "Sneakin Sally Through the Alley" from 1974. It's 3 shorter-ish songs that were mixed to flow into each other on the album. It's got some rock, it's got some funk...it's just perfect. Most reactors only do "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" but you're missing out if you don't include "Sailin' Shoes" & "Hey Julia" because they were mixed for the album to segue perfectly into each other.

[@SamLouis-j7m]

His career was going downhill when John and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran decided to form a splinter group and randomly chose Robert Palmer as their singer cause they couldn't get the actual singer they were looking for (can't remember who it was?) So after the collaboration with John and Andy in their new band called Power Station, it led to the revival of Robert Palmer's career including this song later on.

[@charlessarver8350]

You need to do Sneakin Sally Through the Alley by him.

[@librarylady13]

❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹 R.I.P.

[@isaacracster1644]

Try Power Station Some like it hot. Don't get it confused with the movie having the same name. 😅
