In 1981 the musical CATS hit Broadway. Cats was the hot ticket for years. I guess they ran out of original ideas for the video so they went with the Cats theme
This tune was sampled in Feels so Good by Mase in 1997, so you may have heard the Bad Boy part there. There is an alternate video of this song where Gloria is in and around a hotel. Overall, this song is such a catchy and happy summer tune. The small guitar part in the verses is my favorite section.

For a bit of historical (full circle moment); Gloria Estefan was the lead singer of the Miami Sound Machine during the 80's when this song became one of thier smash hits, not long afterwards, a popular television show Cops debuted using the theme song from a popular Reggae band Inner Circle called Bad Boys (whatcha gonna do) which lead to the title of the Bad Boys movies which take place in Miami, Fl.
I was the biggest Gloria Estefan fan there was back in the day! I even got to meet Gloria in person on three separate occasions! This takes me back to a happy time in my life! Thank you for reacting to this!
Two music videos were made. One was made at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. The other, directed by D.J. Webster, featured Estefan dancing with anthropomorphized alley cats, led by choreographer Russell Clark, in the style of the musical Cats.
I never confirmed but pretty sure this was inspired by the musical cats from just about three years before this song was a hit. "Memories" had been a pretty bit hit from it and it was still somewhat fresh . Anyway I always liked this song. Can remember it being played on our shopping mall's sound system at the time.
Good song 👍 🎵. This Cats 🐈 theme was fun for Gloria Estefan. But, 1 year before, 1984, Patty Smythe hated 😡 that Cats 🐈 theme in the video to The Warrior.
Angela look at the Bright side a gloria song where she didn't lose a guy Lol You still need to do Conga the live version from them. There concerts were really fun
Great song and vocals from Gloria Estefan, makes you want to dance and had Angela moving. Also love the brass, but not sure about the video!-Colin Ward
Sometimes it might be better to just show the video to us, just listen on your end and definitely not watch the poorly produced and creepy 80s videos lol (Fun to watch your reaction to these obscure songs like always tho - thanks)

You have heard this song if you have seen the movie Three Men and A Baby. It was used in it.

I much prefer the hotel video! 😂
I still have this cassette.
CATS was a huge Broadway play at the time! It ran 18 years on Broadway and 20 years in London! This was just a feel good song. Cute video!❤❤
Used to watch this on 'Friday Night Videos' back when it came out. Always loved this song. 😎

Broadway play"Cats" was a hit during this period.Great song thanks Angela!
Use of cats big in the 80’s. Paula Abdul used a cat in her “Opposites Attract” video.
I've heard this before too Angela! Very catchy, the video with cats doesn't necessarily scream out "YEAH Bad Boy!"... but awesome music arrangement!
Love watching you dance the moves, awesome cool video MTV days and Club Days dancing yeah 🤘😎👌💃🕺
CATS was a popular Broadway show throughout the early/mid 80s. Looks like Gloria was just going with what was hot in pop culture at the time.
its meant to portray the bad boys as the cool cats
I had completely forgotten about this song😢
She just chose to style the video after the musical Cats.
OK, but it takes away from the song as the concept doesn’t fit it. The song itself is catchy and works great.
@@syrmatt all I can say is it was the 80s and people were experimenting not only musically but with videos. Videos were brand new.
This was very big when it came out.

I always took it as she’s walking alone through dark alleys. Where you might encounter a bad boy. Also why she had them dressed as Alley Cats…
Nice catchy song. Somehow it reminds me of one of Billy Joel's songs. I can't figure out which one. River of Dreams maybe?
Angela, you have a good voice!! I hope you sing!!!❤❤❤

Their best song is Rhythm Is Gonna Get Ya
Great song and vocals from Gloria Estefan, makes you want to dance and had Angela moving. Also love the brass, but not sure about the video!-Colin Ward
P DIDDY & MASE remade in the 90s
The 80s. ANYTHING GOES 😂
Forgive us Angela it was the 80s we had some really great music and terrible videos 😂😂😂
The Cats thing is weird.
Gloria Estefan singing
Cheese but catchy 😂😂😂😂
They're tomcats.
An "Alley Cat" used to mean a promiscuous person, so maybe???
Yeah, the Song wasn't bad. But I don't understand what it has to do with the Cast of CATS!??
Its taking Angela too long to dance!
