Im a 90s baby but this is what I consider to be the quintessential 80s sound. Heartbreaking, melancholic chords over a driving drum beat and synth bass line. The type of record to have you crying on the dance floor while you dance your ass off 😂
@@1stwonder788 Yes, this song is both sad and heartbreaking in what we live through - all of us, with no reservations. Michael Sembello's Maniac is one of the gates to understanding the mystery of life as we know it, to my firm belief. The fire of the truth projects through the Maniac, this is for sure.
I would rather go back and live in the 80s again. It’s crazy, when we were little we thought things in the future would be awesome like flying cars, but instead we evolved…backwards. But we gotta appreciate some of the things we have now *some*
@@eriv1974 If I had the choice, I would ditch everything I know and have now, just to go back for some happiness again. It was an innocent and exciting time. In the 80s, computing was still new and perceived as an arcane, black art only a select few understood; we felt part of an elite. In popular culture, space was the new frontier (remember the Shuttle?), and we looked to the stars, not the rainforest. 😉 So I agree with you... we've _devolved_, _degenerated_, etc... I've been working in research for 20+ years and have become jaded towards the tech surrounding me every minute of my life at home and at work. Granted, it has its merits for most of us, but I perceive it as more of a curse than a blessing. For instance, "The 'Net" was a pretty safe place in the early 90s when I first roamed it; it was populated by academics, professionals and military. Now it's a digital wasteland where Script Kiddies can hack your PC and hold your data for ransom, where sociopaths can poison kids' minds, and where kids can order guns. All with nary a consequence. TBH, I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore.
Memories of my high school days when this movie came out in 1983. I was taking dance class and this movie was an Inspiration. Love the movie and this soundtrack.
I remember driving down 1 80 in California in my new car going nearly 100 mph and listening to this song. It made me want to become an actual maniac. Luckil,y I survived as did those around me. I am a grateful 72- year-old now who gives thanks for this wonderful music. God Bless !
Props to Jennifer's body double dancer who never got her 15 minutes of fame. She danced her ❤ out and JB got all the attention and accolades. Pro actors always get more credit than pro dancers. And dancers work way harder to perfect their craft.
There is no CGI in any of this....The actress and all the dancers pulled of these moves with hard work and training....Insane. This film reminds me of my mom growing up. Cheers to all those tough ladies and single moms out there! You rock!
I did not grow up in the 80’s but this song was sooo iconic that my drill sergeant forced our entire platoon to sing this at the top of our lungs in 2006 at Fort Benning Georgia. Gotta love the U.S. Army basic training. HOOAAHH! lol. That’s how famous this song is. Still relevant 20 years after. I will never forget that. We all joined in and loved it. Exercised our butts off at 6:30 in the morning. That’s what I think of now when I hear this song. 😂.
The dancer, the directing, the visual impact, the song; what an artistic masterpiece. Is it just me or are the arts dead in 2024? When's the last time you have seen something so beautiful and inspirational?
@@ThatGuyz82 I totally agree. I hate it. But, at least we can still appreciate the golden age of entertainment. My son is 19 and he agrees that the best music was before his time lol.
@@huhummmmmmm ok I'm open minded but then you need to provide some examples. Show me something new that impresses me, if you want. In this case it would have to be a movie with good music and dancing
My mom gave me as a gift for my 9th birthday in 1983 the soundtrack cassette of this movie I still keep it 41 years later, and Maniac song is my number 1 in my cardio workout routine. Missing the 80’s too much
I’m a 90’s kid. I remember finding Flash Dance around 10/11 in my parents VHS collection, that moment blasted me in puberty. Never to look back at my toys again 😂
Gracias a la vida nací en los 70s... Y pude crecer y vivir los 80s y su increíble música. Quisiera estar nuevamente en esa época y borrar completamente de mi cabeza la basura de hoy en día.
From a time when music production and engineering was solely in the hands of true professionals who really knew their tools and their role in the process.
It is perfect for the song. Not particularly difficult and it could have been. But what was laid down fits perfect for this. I definitely would have over done it, considering the driving tempo. Sometimes less is more…. Yngwie: “What? You mean MORE is more, right?”

I was lucky to be born in 1975 so remember the 80's first hand as a kid. They were great days to be young as everything seemed larger than life with tunes like this everywhere. Amazing times.
This song never fails to take me back to the early 80s and i was born in 85...such an amazing decade in everything from music to movies And more..damn i wish I was born just 10 yrs earlier
I'm that lucky guy born in '74. There was so much great stuff happening - new wave, Hip Hop & heavy metal were emerging, and the icons of the previous era - Hendrix, The Doors, Zeppelin, etc. - still loomed large - you could still get a firm grasp of the Rock & Roll and pop culture from decades past. And then movies like Gremlins and Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, the Rocky movies, all the well-known slasher films, TV shows like Knight Rider, the A-Team, Miami Vice, Mtv, Saturday morning cartoons, plus video games and arcades, Dungeons and Dragons, skateboarding and BMX... Man, any of those things were great in and out themselves, but to be a kid at that particular time and have it all resonate with you the way it only can when you're a kid? Let me tell you, it was exactly as great as you think it was.
@@jmcbastard9665 im sure It was but while I wish I was born 10-15 yrs earlier and sometimes earlier than that I can't deny that the 90s was an amazing time be a kid coming up with SNES & Genesis..Mortal Kombat,Street Fighter 2, some of the best Mario games ever,PS1 & N64 and some of the greatest games of all time,Pokemon, Digimon Saturday Morning cartoons were amazing and I count myself very lucky to be apart of pretty much the last generation to come up before the internet and cell phones were ubiquitous..when MTV and Bet actually played music videos, no social media and much more..the 90s was also an amazing time for movies and music too and toys man i mean is it just mean or does Christmas just not feel like Christmas anymore?..it hadn't got me since the 90s ..maybe it's cuz that's when I was a kid but I think it's more than that..i can't be the only one that feels that way
This song is so good that at 0:56 my brother fell on the floor and couldn’t stop uncontrollably dancing
I hope he's ok

Now this is truly one classic gem from the 1980"s it was such full of energy and life tonnes of choreography 👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Legend has it she’s still dancing 💃🏻
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that
Moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before

My song ! I love to dance ! Long live the 80's music.😊
I was lucky to be born in 1975 so remember the 80's first hand as a kid. They were great days to be young as everything seemed larger than life with tunes like this everywhere. Amazing times.
My dad says the same thing, he was the born in the same year as you and then my mum was born the year this song came out
良い曲ですね😊
Saudade dos anos 80! Período maravilhoso da adolescência! ❤
The Cow bell sound.....wow !!!
im jealous of people who lived in the 80s
85 here but man there's so many times i wish l was born just 10 yrs earlier
I was in my teens and early 20s in the 80s. Best time ever 💕
I was born in 1986. I don't remember the 1980s.
Jealousy is as cruel as the grave.
@Joe's World 🥲🥲🥲
So happy to be a 80,s child❤❤❤
This song never fails to take me back to the early 80s and i was born in 85...such an amazing decade in everything from music to movies And more..damn i wish I was born just 10 yrs earlier
I'm that lucky guy born in '74. There was so much great stuff happening - new wave, Hip Hop & heavy metal were emerging, and the icons of the previous era - Hendrix, The Doors, Zeppelin, etc. - still loomed large - you could still get a firm grasp of the Rock & Roll and pop culture from decades past. And then movies like Gremlins and Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, the Rocky movies, all the well-known slasher films, TV shows like Knight Rider, the A-Team, Miami Vice, Mtv, Saturday morning cartoons, plus video games and arcades, Dungeons and Dragons, skateboarding and BMX...
Man, any of those things were great in and out themselves, but to be a kid at that particular time and have it all resonate with you the way it only can when you're a kid? Let me tell you, it was exactly as great as you think it was.
@@jmcbastard9665 im sure It was but while I wish I was born 10-15 yrs earlier and sometimes earlier than that I can't deny that the 90s was an amazing time be a kid coming up with SNES & Genesis..Mortal Kombat,Street Fighter 2, some of the best Mario games ever,PS1 & N64 and some of the greatest games of all time,Pokemon, Digimon Saturday Morning cartoons were amazing and I count myself very lucky to be apart of pretty much the last generation to come up before the internet and cell phones were ubiquitous..when MTV and Bet actually played music videos, no social media and much more..the 90s was also an amazing time for movies and music too and toys man i mean is it just mean or does Christmas just not feel like Christmas anymore?..it hadn't got me since the 90s ..maybe it's cuz that's when I was a kid but I think it's more than that..i can't be the only one that feels that way
La danseuse 💃 la classe inée ❤
