The Misfits - Top of the Charts (Extended) (171/187)

Aired Feb 11th 1988, from "The Day the Music Died ".

[@Fauntleroy.]

Not gonna lie, there is something satisfying about seeing the Misfits have a moment of total victory. They might be really wrong-headed but they also try really, really hard.

[@eribelle753]

The whole thing where they commit felony after felony after felony with tons of witnesses (sometimes even when they do it on national television) but never have consequences really got on my nerves. I know it's a cartoon, but still...so many assault and attempted first degree murder charges...which was stupid because they proved to be super popular all the time.

[@mariaavalon3730]

They must have good lawyers.

[@dummysalami]

Eric Raymond even said that he gets away with stuff because he has good lawyers

[@victoriaburns296]

Midnight Owl the difference is this is a CARTOON 😂😂

[@justinquaylepate1358]

I agree with you 100%

[@brandontaylor14]

Pizzazz's confidence and pride for herself is actually quite inspirational. She has many positive qualities that are easily overlooked by her reckless behaviors.

[@123451248ify]

Well, that's to be expected when your mom bails on you, and your dad constantly throws money at you because he doesn't know how to meet your emotional needs!

[@hobi1kenobi112]

I like Pizzazz loads. Plus she's screeching funny.

[@patrickcolliano]

Yeah, Pizazz has many fine qualities. Once you overlook the fact that she's a psycho. Just how many attempts has she made on Jem's life, and shown zero remorse?

[@averystar16]

We needed more Misfits, Jem, and Stinger collabs

[@DanielSong39]

Misfits' final hit song, but they went out with style!

[@PyroEscapeVehicle]

THIS...... IS IT........ MY AESTHETIC.......... AT ITS PEAK

[@chiralityraven337]

Great song.... they needed their moment ... they were awesome

[@ronnopotter]

The real 80s sound!!!

[@mdev2266]

coincidentally all the best songs from the misfits have pizazz wearing a unique outfit exclusive to that music video

[@DanielSong39]

Give some credit to the Misfits, they combined the forces of the three biggest groups and created a legacy that will never be forgotten! Too bad they didn't turn a profit though.

[@Sassynbluntaf]

They didn't realize that most of the profits funded Starlight Mansion also

[@Nionivek]

I really love how you synch the instrumentals with clips from the show. You actually manage to make the Misfits seem epic.

[@holbrooke7]

Pizzazz finally had it all. Good for her.

[@keipiStardust3014]

Lyrics: It's happened, I've made it I'm finally here At the top of the charts (Top of the charts) It's happened The dream of a lifelong career I'm at the top of the charts Always in the running But I, I never got the vote, no (They said that you would never break trough) Oh yeah, well pardon me while I gloat It's happened, I knew it It's where I belong I'm at top of the charts (Top of the charts), yeah (It's happened, we've done it) (We helped her resolve) (At the top of the charts) The top, the top, the top I had my taste of glory I'm determined I will stay At the top of the charts (Top of the charts) At the top of the charts (Top of the charts) The top, the top, the top.

[@TheCausalParadox]

+Keipi The holograms line is actually "It's happened, we've done it, we helped put her song at the top of the charts" I've seen the site you pulled these lyrics from, other sites are more accurate.

[@androzani84productions85]

TheCausalParadox it's actually "You helped put us all". I got that by actually watching the video.

[@TheCausalParadox]

Androzani84 Productions watch it a few more times because you are wrong.

[@gary6267]

It isn't either of those, pretty sure it's "we helped put a song at the top of the charts"

[@wirdamohdali4244]

the intro for this song is GOLD! Thank you soo much!!

[@gamesystemaddict3949]

I'm still watching Jem and jamming to these songs. I hope the fan base is still alive

[@henryferguson447]

The misfits has always been my favorite

[@OtakuD50]

Are we just going to ignore that a crazed fan was about to attack Pizzazz at 1:22?

[@popcorn247]

The colors are popping out at me. Cool remix.

[@josem.figueroajr.4532]

I remember this. The Holograms and the Stingers were forced to be Misfits.

[@antd8259]

Love her vocals at 1:43

[@TheMitigating]

The alternate versions were never performed by the singers they consist of Anne Bryant on Piano(I think) and Ford Kinder singing the lyrics. The lyrics are the similar but the melody is different.

[@processred2858]

if i start watching the video for this i just my heart just melts at pizzazz's dancing dear god i love her so much

[@jamg25]

The Misfits should've always stayed atop the charts! Their songs are way better than Jem's!

[@zirconviper]

I do admit, they look good, but how would you compare them to the real Misfits?

[@trannyforce]

UMMMMMM WOW!!!! AMAZING!!!! The best Misfits song got an amazing extended version...BRAVO!!!!

[@pablosanchez6558]

Probably the longest intro to any Jem/Misfits song

[@bustedkeaton]

Love this little blue pink and yellow number

[@leonardeuler9592]

In this episode the Holograms seemed completely lost and resigned without Jem. At 1:21 they even say about Pizzazz "It's happened ,we've done it .We helped her resolve at the top of the charts." Minx and the Starlights girls were the true heroes of this episode because Minx helped Rio to rescue Jem and the Starlight girls' behaviour forced Pizzazz to abandon Starlights Music to Jerrica. And without Minx's help Rio wouldn't have succeed to rescue Jem at all. But nevertheless Rio sabotaged Minx's boat after that (and worse he was proud of it) .Rio's act was stupid : of course he wanted to punish Riot for his bad behaviour but Minx was not responsible for that at all!Rio was ungrateful about Minx!

[@TheCausalParadox]

+Leonard Euler The line is clearly "It's happened, we've done it, we helped put her song at the top of the charts"

[@leonardeuler9592]

Ok. But the rest of my commentary is still valable.

[@ronnopotter]

I think Minx and Rapture sing that line. The Holograms sounds different, like shriller

[@SybilKibble]

This song has a serious Stacy Q vibe! Love it!

[@Leo-td1vr]

The Misfits finally have a drummer.

[@bittybears5287]

If I remember right, the Misfits were gonna get a drummer, but the show and toy line ended up getting canned, after a legal dispute with Barbie (yes, THAT Barbie), who, at the time, was doing her own music band-based show. At the very least, that's according to the Toys That Made Us.

[@rosaandaimeesvlogs3507]

Amazing and lovely clips too!

[@StrangerUK01]

Love these extended takes, Pizzazz has such a strong and distinctive voice that it's often easy to miss some of the background tune, and they really are good, strong tunes in their own right. Cheers! :)

[@tonyalynn4610]

Luv the Misfits

[@daniellakaran5760]

When I first watched Jem at 13, of course I prefer songs from Jem and the Holograms. As I grow older, I like to listen to the songs from this TV series, but I realized some the songs from The Misfits are better than Jem and the Holograms. I like some Jem and the Hologram's songs but sometimes I prefer The Misfit's songs.

[@MissMjWilson]

This is awesome!

[@vanitastemperantia]

This is just AWSOME! Cant stop to hear it!!!!!

[@alecris33]

Me encanta tu canal,, Pizzazz es muy buena, al fin llegó a lo más alto, y me gusta su estilo de vestir. Cuando las 3 están de negro son geniales.

[@StrawberryBoy100]

LOVE the visual at 0:40 with the shots of Pizzazz from "There Ain't Nobody Better". (decided to comment anywaaay~)

[@ctfar184]

I love the Misfits!

[@SailorMoonFan92]

I always thought it was really nice that Pizzazz let the Holograms and Stingers become official Misfits, even putting their faces on the album cover and all lol

[@K2SonicFan]

Marzgurl's audition tape brought me here.

[@rajeerz]

This would have played alongside any Sheena Easton or Janet Jackson 80s dance club playlist.

[@kagomecc461]

Pizzazz made them all misfits. And still didn't allow CLASH to join. That's cold 😏

[@Pizzazz60]

GREAT !!!!!

[@nickhatessnow763]

You really didn't have to make that edited intro so sick but you did it anyways

[@EndyMX]

Pizzazz sounds like Nicola Roberts in this song.

[@Jimbojub]

Oh wow ur right! Especially at 1:42

[@RicanReinvented]

YES!!!

[@Clocksworthbunnie]

This is fantastic! Please tell me that you'll be doing more of these?

[@ohthisishardcore]

LOL 0:48

[@Masqueradia]

She looks Barbie Blonde in this... Very different from her usual Pizzazz style...

[@bezoticallyyours83]

Masqueradia I don't recall Barbie ever having hair that shade of green? Do you mean Roxy?

[@Masqueradia]

bizotically_yours83 Actually yes. All of them are off color. Except Jetta but it’s hard to get “black” wrong... stormer’s hair has a purple hue and if you compare Pizzazz’s color during top of the charts to every other clip put in, she usually has a tarnished bronze/green color to her hair but here it’s like someone spilled highlighter fluid in her shampoo...

[@LCAmarkymark]

can I get a link of the instrumental versions of this song or where did you get the instrumental stuff lol. I love them.

[@puntme]

this sounds like italo disco

[@l.salisbury1253]

"I want your skulls- I NEED your skulls- I want your skulls- I NEED your skulls!" -the Misfits '82

[@kartoonkaraoke4159]

So if Jem and Riot leave their bands, all the girls left behind would join the Misfits.

[@syxepop]

Strange that you took this particular song for your 1st extended, but it worked well... Let's see what else you can achieve in other songs than can be extended (the record is 4:30+, but some songs are very difficult to strech before getting monotonous, as could be seen from other work...). THANKS FOR THE DEDICATION!

[@therealkuzokun]

Jerry sounds really odd in this song.

[@TheMitigating]

who?

[@therealkuzokun]

TheMitigating The actual band, The Misfits, as opposed to this very awesome fictional one. Their lead singer at the time was Jerry Only. It was an allusion to the other Misfits.

[@LordOrlock]

therealkuzokun Bad joke is bad...

[@janedoe3209]

therealkuzokun lol

[@DanielSong39]

Guitar Hero ripped the graphics from this song

[@ijustgottahotdog]

To me this song just fonts and bolds Pizzazz to being a huge spoiled brat!
