Rick Springfield - Bop 'Til You Drop (Official Video)

[@fromgreattobrilliant922]

Funny enough, this is David Fincher's first music video he directed. Maybe thats why he was considered to direct Alien 3.

[@delrey874]

David Fincher's first work as a director.

[@richardtoro1367]

80's Rules Forever

[@jasondean6940]

Yes they do wish it would be the 80s forever unlike this stupid ass 21st century what a big joke

[@SpinMeRoundStore]

If you're reading this, I want you to know, you have a great taste in music. Have a great life ahead

[@SilentBob731]

Cheers. 😉🥃

[@kareyannefoster]

Ditto darling!!!!

[@twimama43]

It's songs like this that makes me so thankful that I am a child of the 80's and graduated in 1985. :)

[@jgweems]

1985 was a great year to graduate! :)

[@luiscolon1530]

I was graduated from SHS in '85. Nice music!

[@TheInnerGenius]

89 here bro

[@ClineFamilyof5]

Class of ‘86 here. We had awesome music and movies! It’s 2021 and Rick Springfield is doing a US tour…!! #GenX

[@mychalbelcher9243]

What do you find amusing about this? Honest answers only don't be an asshole

[@darkligem]

Cannot wait to see him this Saturday ❤. Finally I get to see my idol. I've survived 5 bouts with cancer. So yes I got front row seats.

[@mockingbirdklm]

Best videos ever! 80's videos were like mini movies!! So talented! Such good music!

[@freedom4mealways]

Forty years later, Australian pop/rock star Rick Springfield tells all to "Bop Til You Drop".

[@dxroadduke]

Haven't heard this for a long time. You know what today's music needs-- it's more robot voices, and less autotune!

[@Teri11215]

I hope there are a lot of young fans out there of Rick Springfields and really listen to words of this song. Life doesn't wait for you, live, keep working for your dreams. For God's sake don't waste your time, if your in a relationship and you truly love the person, tell them. You will never have regrets like I do when you get older. I'm still in love with the same man for over 30 years, should have swallowed my pride, and gave a bigger fight, being stubborn and proud = being lonely in life and always wondering WHAT IF? Rock on Rick! It was great to see you in concert in the 80's when you first started.

[@spedc]

Teri....I think you must have been reading my mind or living my life, not sure which. I've been dealing with regret like that for over 30 years also. It's something that NEVER goes away or gets easier to live with. Like the old saying, Time heals all wounds....yeah, not quite. I wouldn't wish this feeling on my worst enemy. It's horrible, yeah, WHAT IF? Guess that's why I like Dr Who so much. Always waiting and hoping for that time traveler to show up and take me back in time so I can fix my screw up.

[@Teri11215]

I understand what you are saying all too well. Time does not heal all wounds, but I do hope we learn from our mistakes. I hope you find happiness one day soon, we all deserve that much.

[@ExiledStardust]

Shut up, troll.

[@toocoolforyou4119]

Thanks mom

[@jedi1967]

Biatch, what are you talking about this is 2018!!! Rick Springfield is the new CRYPT KEEPER

[@MrCommanderPaul]

My childhood. This was as '80s as '80s could get. Wild Boys by Duran Duran was the next best.

[@thesmallerbear3978]

People slaving (to get what they want) to reptillian controllers; this video is certainly a documentary!

[@TooL1993]

Fucking love the 80s.

[@zombieapocalypse9963]

Rick Springfield was the first performer I ever saw live in concert ..Cathode Ray Tour 1984 Texas...was an awesome show. 32 years later I still love his songs

[@katemajestic9164]

Me too. I was 11 at the Ionia State Fair in Michigan

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

My first concert ever as well, also the Cathode Ray Tour in Irvine, CA.

[@michellebarnes1063]

Yes I also saw him in Michigan. Twice. Very handsome, talented, and underrated

[@jean-paulbovee4010]

My favorite Rick Springfield song and I love so many of them. Awesome singer, awesome guitar player, talented songwriter, the whole package.

[@sirxanthor]

If you are from the 80s, and have seen this on MTV like I have, did anyone notice there is an important sound/voice/track missing from this restored video? Not sure why it wasn't carried over, but it makes a huge difference, as it gives the video a life that this is missing.

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

i love how these 80s dystopian sci-fi visions of the future is basically our lives now.

[@DieselD_OnTheMic]

It's basically a song about working in an Amazon warehouse!

[@BAFFLED-u4o]

We win!

[@proman1926]

They were trying to tell us something in 1985. Andre Cymone had a similar video with Dance Electric.

[@Vejur9000]

Omg. Totally

[@joniroxanne96]

80s music sure predicted the mess that the future will be; Tears for Fears ("Mad World") comes to mind. 😵‍💫

[@mikehammond7277]

Very good song that got ignored by the radio stations in my area. Very sad.

[@Rhondastunes1]

Multi talented man! Singing, acting, author. Nothing he can't do.

[@janeporter818]

Facts💯

[@joannehines7806]

Aside from the fact that he's totally grief-stricken, Rick still is the posterman for The Fountain of Youth!! He looks fantastic to be in his 70's!!! Continue to RIHP Olivia!!

[@jeffpiatt3879]

This song was going through my head during work related travel, today, and I'm ashamed to say that I did not remember that it was Rick Springfield who sang it until I searched youtube. Great memories!

[@heathergriffiths8138]

When MTV was awesome!

[@christinastreicher6508]

This song is a great motivator. Never surrender never lose hope keep fighting!!! Yeah 10 yrs old at this time and I listened to the words.

[@miliee2.093]

The fact that David fincher directed this clip makes me crazy

[@jumpinjason]

I remember being amazed as a kid by Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back and this video blew my mind. It's still pretty damn incredible by today's standards. Screw CGI, the monster in this still looks amazing!

[@Salaminizer1974]

You and me both buddy.

[@MaskedMan66]

There are some non-CGI monsters that look like rubbish, there are some CGI monsters that look brilliant. Not all FX are equal.

[@ELMProductionGroup]

You made my day. This was my first production. Thank you.

[@amandarufener4531]

Whoa! Celeb shout out from ELM! 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽

[@seantape5171]

Remember Rick Springfield was Zac in the ORIGINAL Battlestar Galactica (1978). So...

[@MaskedMan66]

2:08 always makes me laugh; the guard monster is, well, bopping, enjoying the music, the boss monster growls at him and he stops, disappointed.

[@ryanvogel170]

Haha I never noticed that before. 😅

[@nobodyyanno]

Wow. I'd totally forgotten about this video. I used to have this album. What a blast from the past...

[@SIGMAMAN69]

Rick actually got funky on this one!

[@joannehines7806]

Saw Rick in an interview & he is so torn up by his friend, Olivia Newton-John's death; felt so bad for him; he looked like he'd been crying & was trying hard not to cry on tv!!

[@DaveWollenberg]

Rick hit #20 in Billboard, 10-20-84. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[@philiplovings1116]

Another good classic that ive not heard in years

[@Thatsuthrnchik]

The song may be peppy but it talks about something deeper. The video is touching the aspects of the deeper meaning.

[@ivanesquivel2023]

Cuando éramos nuevos en el mundo... Ahora somos mas viejos y queremos volver atrás... Es loco, es querer avanzar hacia el pasado.

[@corinnechevreux9304]

Love this song❤ The alarm rings! You gotta get up 🎸

[@heathergriffiths8138]

When the artist singing didn't sound like they were spewing the same song out to cover an album. Loved the 80's!

[@cassiepittman1489]

I hear this song on Joplin Missouri station,95.1mike fm🎶80's weekend ✨ you are awesome!:)💫Rick Springfield ✌️💖🤩

[@joannehines7806]

Aistralians & their post-apocalyptic themes in movies & videos!! Love it!!

[@patrickrancourt4782]

Mad max Even deep purple jumping in this mood

[@spedc]

Love 2:09 when the alien is bopping to the music and the head guy is like, "Really??" That's pretty funny!

[@jessicamarie5270]

I’m 51. Every time I bop, I always drop. ;-)

[@spedc]

I hear you there!! I'm 56....sometimes I don't even get to Bop before I drop!!! LOL

[@patrickrancourt4782]

53 and i still love and defender 80's decade almighty forever

[@hayberdasher8625]

I remember hearing this on the radio when I was 11 years old...never saw the video until now. It's got a lot more production values than I expected, and very dystopian 80s.

[@lawrenceworrell8474]

THIS IS FOREVER MY SHIT !!!!! THE CONCEPT & ELECTRO SYNTH FUNK GROOVE !!!!!!!

[@soniaestherriver02]

i love rick springfield music the eighties were the best rick is my favorite in all his genre in music

[@DavidWright-yn9bi]

The 80's. Fun!

[@turkeygrump]

Clear memories of seeing this video in 1984 with my cousins. It blew my mind. I love how everything from this time seems to have a sci-fi/Mad Max aesthetic.

[@RubberyCat]

Including some things that shouldn't .... (like Deep Purple - Knocking at your backdoor).

[@mitchelllance5290]

Hard to Hold movie still on my mind. Great music so '80s Rick Springfield. Thanks' Wish I could see the classic movie just a few more times. ♥️ Captain EO should have been you Sir.

[@michaelclark2872]

This song and video is great

[@CritterKeeper01]

They had such *fun* with music videos back then!

[@samami3781]

Yes, I also consider that young generations should listen to the words of this music, "Bop till you drop" right now. I understand these words that Rick tells us "Don't give up your dreams & lives while your body & mind have been working." Rick already knew in '80s that the future after 2016 or more later, we might struggle everywhere in the world. I have spent almost my life time until these days with his many fabulous tunes. Thanks a lot, Rick Springfield, my great hero, a Star !!!

[@ronnieraccoon1977]

Man I've been looking for this video for a long time. I remember it freaked me out when I was a kid.

[@yobagiovanni3224]

Same here. More than 30 years trying to find this song somehow.

[@cr8833]

Freeing aliens with the power of love since 1984. Rock on, Mr. Springfield!

[@Vejur9000]

Damn good music video and song.

[@BossLevelAudio24]

Wild Boys! Never Lose it! Oh wait. Wrong video!

[@duanefrancis9769]

I only wish that Rick Springfield would be remembered for more than just this one song.

[@tigerlilyphotos]

Seriously dude? Jessie's Girl, Love is Alright Tonight, Love Somebody, Don't Talk to Strangers - just to name a few. Human Touch is spot ON about today. Take a look at that video again. Done in 1983 but the computer screen tells him it's 2016. "Everybody's talking to computers They're all dancing to a drum machine" #TRUTH

[@kathigreen1479]

not to mention his lullaby album, his acting.... plus, he just signed on to play Satan in Supernatural!!! YAY!!!!

[@lawrenceweinzimer]

First heard this in Baltimore MD back in February 1984. It had solid meaning to the tens of thousands of foundry, factory workers, welders, laborers there. All earning a very honest living, well, 40 years ago.

[@rhoadnaroahs]

Good stuff! I picture Duran Duran's Wild Boys video taking place next door. LOL

[@Nunyabiz3]

That's hilarious!

[@SpiritusMundi4EVER]

Good one!

[@ryandtibbetts2962]

LOL I actually do have them one right after the other on my playlist.

[@myinmortal2007]

Me too jajajaja

[@Wildsyde1]

And Billy Ocean's loverboy video in the room after that lol

[@paulgibson7293]

listen to his stuff all the time then again I'm stuck in the 80's/90's for my music rock is the best

[@victoriaskydancer42]

This video is what inspired me to start writing my own science fiction. Might publish the story that arose from it someday...

[@Deanocub]

Love it! This is my favorite Rick Springfield song! I like the Star Wars feel to this! Great Special effects. Zero dislikes in the rating box. Rick Rules!

[@imeanokaysureman]

Bet David Fincher's really proud of this one

[@N93000]

wasn't born in the eighties so wouldn't appreciate it as much in that period but would watch this any day over the crap music videos these days hats off to Fincher and Rick

[@synthonaplinth5980]

Where they got that bass sample is still a mystery to me after all of these years.....

[@screamingtima1318]

This was a pretty cool video for the 80's. 👍🏻

[@freddiegrace3770]

David Fincher directed it.

[@screamingtima1318]

+Freddie Grace an alien civilization using humans as slaves. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@weatherednboston]

This video was way before the time it should be. Would be popular today.

[@BluntWeiser]

The director did an awesome job.

[@MakeYouFeelBetterNow]

When I was a kid, this video made me want to be like Rick Springfield. Hero!

[@Bobbychristopher]

literally have not seen this since the mid eighties, now its 2020

[@johnlangis9313]

LOVE!

[@Jowoart6960]

Fun fact, this was directed by a very young David Fincher.

[@jrbaskind]

This was every bit as cool as I remembered it to be.

[@felixlikescinnamonrolls]

cant believe david fincher directed this loool what a legend

[@minavamp2811]

yep this was his first video that he directed.

[@andersonfernandes7982]

And here is born David Fincher... That was his first job as a Director.

[@RetroJenny]

So 80s and so awesome!

[@markrodriguez9442]

That's a very good music video. Almost like Mad Max movie Thunderdome. It's like SciFi there.

[@mikekaraoke]

What a tune and that bass is awesome, Was a top 10 + 20 hit in U.S, France, Germany, Sweden, Holland + Denmark

[@SIGMAMAN69]

Gotta love that bass!

[@sirphineasluciusambercromb9114]

80s music is always upbeat. Even metal back then was incredibly silly and fun.

[@jb8280]

When Fincher was just starting his journey to cinematic mastery...

[@myrahillen862]

I can't believe I never commented on this. Sheesh. Anyway, GREAT UNDERRATED SONG.

[@myrahillen862]

@Rick Springfield Music Milwaukee, WI

[@kareyannefoster]

4:13 The sequence in the video where Rick Springfield all Luke Skywalker on us.

[@dannork1240]

I saw this once, when I was a little kid and have been looking for this ever since. Mostly to prove to myself that I didn’t imagine the whole thing...

[@wheeler._.j5261]

Love the beginning part why not have that on album.

[@Fnidner]

agree so heartily!!!

[@mikekaraoke]

Not all the time obviously, But sometimes singles get a remix......So bit different to album version

[@Megared82]

My of my favorite songs by Rick. I always wondered if this was attempt of a more R&B sound because, to me, it sounds very Breakdance-ish.

[@dotsmyfavorite2]

mmm. 80s Rick Springfield. Yummy.

[@presidentsnow7315]

OMG That part at 2:08 is the best!

[@michaelblair5566]

The 1980's were a great time!

[@lindaCB25]

✨A good guy.✨💫🌊🐬🎶✨💫

[@soniaestherriver02]

I like Rick Springfield music

[@chrysryce]

I was 10 yrs old when this came out and it totally tripped me out as a kid. 30 yrs randomly JUST chose to look it up. Great flashbacks. I love you youtube!

[@rogueJ]

One of my all time favorite videos..

[@mikieson]

seriously...as much 80s music as I listen to still to this day I swear ive not heard this song since it was released..OR so it seems..

[@bahamian55]

I wish there’s an actual, real working time machine so that I can go back…! I ❤️ 80s music!

[@styx53ocean]

80's music was amazing! So many different artists and styles. Something for everyone. Today's "music" doesn't even come close.

[@joemorgan6009]

Still remember MTV VJ teaching me the opening exterior shot was made from upside down salad bowls. Oh, how I miss those tidbits. #greatmomentsinsynthbass

[@kt1pl2]

Was just in the kitchen singing this...Rick's songs never get old!

[@n8hawk68]

One of my favorite songs by RS, surprisingly I had never seen this video. Too bad they don't make little "mini movies" for sogs anymore. That was the cool factor of the 80s.

[@bobcummings8228]

Another classic Rick from the crazy 80's! LOLLLL!

[@dogfather68]

Jinkies! I haven't heard this since it came out. Back when we had no cell phones, teens had no confusion about what gender they liked, girls gave you their phone numbers on slips of paper (and we actually called them on land lines). Summer of 1984 was a great year to be a teen. What happened?

[@SuperGorgar]

I agree. Rick has an energy & excitement to his music that is unique and will never be duplicated. But it's definitely rock no question

[@seantape6628]

He's gonna be incredible as Lucifer in "Supernatural, Season 12!"

[@jean-paulbovee4010]

My favorite Rick Springfield song for sure and he had a lot of good ones that Iike.

[@sTimeCapsule]

Good song
