About 15 yrs ago, I worked for a sound and lighting company. Morris Day and the Time we're the headline act at a festival we were contracted to work. During this song, there is video of EVERYONE in our crew doing the dance just offstage. He caught us doing it, and even pointed it out to the crowd. What made it even more fun was that we were mostly southern-rock type guys. But we all knew the dance.
@@penelopedinkledongs7178 😆 okay yeah. Is it true that Prince made the original version of this song before The Time did it? I heard Prince version it was pretty cool.

I went to his concert in las Vegas at the golden nugget a long time ago. He was smooth, Sharp and he let me on stage with him and the band. He really is a nice guy. I love the time.❤️⭐⭐⭐
Bruno Mars should thank this man. Don't twist it Bruno is poppin.. But lets call truth, he's rockin Morris Day and the Time whole style. THE ENTIRE STYLE
15 bucks little man, Put that s*** in my hand, If that money doesn’t show Then you owe me owe owe My jungle love! Yeah, O-e-o-e-o I think I wanna know ya know ya, Yeah what
Appalonia Kitero was by far one the most underrated and extremely gorgeous women of the early 80's. I was young and had my first crush on a Latina in Purple Rain!
Well, the comments were pretty awesome till I came to your ignorant words of crap. Referencing God as a her? I sincerely hope you rot in hell and have total misery till you get there.
I remember watching them do the slide across the stage the first time I saw this film and thinking that it was the coolest shit ever! Come to think of it...it still might be!

Morris wasn't given enough credit for his talent , skill and creativity. Not only did he have a show built around his music, but he danced along with the crowd , singing while coordinating the whole thing. Princes nemesis like the Joker to the BATMAN.
The 80s was such a great period. I was 7 when this song was released and this reminds me of my old block on the South Side of Chicago (near 67th and Halsted) where everybody looked out for each other. The world was different back then. Much happier period.
I was 18 and from NW burbs of Chicago. Going to clubs was my thing and we all danced. No hatred towards each other just love of music and dance and living in harmony with each other. Wtf happened to our society? I blame technology, music of the 2000’s to now(nobody dances anymore) and all politicians. 70,80,90’s greatest times!
And remember, about the same time we also got singers like SADE on the other side of the music spectrum. ruclips.net/video/_oVI0GW-Xd4/видео.html&start_radio=1
Man, you aint lyin --- my older sister used to hit all the best dance clubs in Chicago in the 80's --- such a fun time to be a young person and partying in the big city
Prince wrote all of the Time's music...Well, at least 90% of it. And he indeed wrote/co-wrote all their biggest hits: Jungle Love, Cool, Get It Up, The Bird, The Walk, Jerk Out, 777-9311.....
As someone who was there back then, I’m here to tell you that back in the summer of ‘84, this song & Morris Day and the Time were bigger than Prince, associations notwithstanding. This song was everything. And everywhere. You couldn’t escape it. Played in the supermarket, it’s played in the shoe store, gas station, 7-11, and the carwash. EVERYWHERE. And thanks to that Minneapolis sound, it still sounds brand new, here in the summer of 2021.
As someone who was 4 in 84 and snuck into all my older cousins parties,it was NOT bigger than Prince. It got as much play,but it was NOT bigger than the Purple One.
Minneapolis sound is very very under-rated when people think of the 80's. R&B, Funk, Pop, Modern Rock with Prince, The Time, The Jets, & The Replacements. That sound is in their music. When Minneapolus was cool.
My friend Dori and I cruising' with big gulp's from 7/11, half Rum, half Coke, no ice. We weren't even 18 yet.... so much fun but too young. Thank you God for keeping us safe. I'm still here at 50
Morris Day is one of the great frontmen in the last 40 years... Style and swag for days. energy, personality, knew how to sing and was just a funky brother.
Who's jamming to this in the year 8924? I'll leave that there for you when I'm long gone. You damn well better believe these bones will jump up and jam again if it hears the song. 🕺 🕺 🕺
My roomie in college and I would hit the local club at night. When this song came on everyone was up on the dance floor. There were even certain moves for parts of the song and it was wild how in sync we would all be. Lost touch over the years with my roomie, Kim, but those nights hanging out with her at the club will always be some of the fondest and best memories in my life. ❤
The writer of Purple Rain definitely got us a great introduction to our antagonist. We can't help but see him be so charming and just a well rounded character.

+Tristan Hall I'm with you my fellow headbanger! I'm a classic and modern hard rock/heavy metal and old school punk guy primarily but if you're like me you have to listen to other music forms from time to time and enjoy the good. I find it preserves my sanity and it makes it way easier to socialize at given places with the rock/punk/metal haters out there. Bring up a conversion about Danzig or Avenged Sevenfold around those people and there's like who?
Morris Day was the beginning of swag. Don't step on my Stacy Adams...Smoking jackets and hair do's and he hasn't changed. Saw him in Atlanta several weeks ago still still styling, still requesting the mirror. What's amazing is that at 58 he still does that caliber dancing the entire 48 minute concert. In the movie he was trying to finesse a girl he said..I got a brass waaatah (water) bed and an Italian cook Jerome Sescagawatccie. Lol '
Prince also aka "Alexander Nevermind" on the song "Sugar Walls" had his hand in everything....Here's a song you'll like..."Rockstar"(jason nevins remix) by NERD....Give it a listen!
ML Anderson I experienced The Time, it was the 1999 tour back in 83' San Diego, CA The Most amazing concert, total magic. I must admit, my father was the one who taught me how to talk to women, but Morris Day showed how to walk in a room...
For a minute there, Minneapolis became the unlikely center of the pop music universe back in the early and mid-80s...kind of like how Bristol (England) became an unlikely center of the electronic-house music scene in the 90s. That distinctive Minneapolis "sound" - driven by the likes of Prince, Morris Day (and the Tyme), Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (also of the Tyme), Alexander O'Neil, and so on - dominated pop music in those days. They set the music world on fire operating from that frozen tundra. Who would ever have imagined! Minneapolis!
Man I really must be getting old cuz this song came out in 1984 I was 20 and here it is 2023 and I'm still listening to it on repeat My Jungle Love thank you Morris Day you're my jungle love
No, we're not getting old. We're just timeless! Like the music of our generation. I've noticed that a lot of young people are discovering our music now & are blown away at how good it is. It's fun to watch their reactions!
march 2024 i was around when this song first came out...... and thruout the years i found myself just randomly sing o e o e o..and their dance moves .. but i couldnt remember anything else about the song who did it etc,,, recently it was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly driving me crazy and i tried everything to find the song only knowing o e o e o.. so i posted on facebook and people were suggesting tons of diff song and one person suggested ths song ..... and BAM this is it... how she could tell just from my o e o e o amazes me...... and now im sane again ... still a great song

Man I'd love to have been there, lol. That's like a Hollywood movie moment you think seems too good to be true. 😂
That's cute! ❤
It's all about art. The music, the dance, and the vision go right past any racial concern. If you can't dance to this you must be dead.
Thanks, Jay and Silent Bob. Best songs and best people
Still catchy 40 yrs later!
I Am Currently 40 Years Old. I Was Born The Same Year This Song Came Out. The Same Year The Movie Purple Rain Released. July 1984.
Dec of 1983. Love this song!!!
see the reference to them in Clerks (or some Kevin Smith movie)
I bet people were tearing the dance floors up in the early 80's when this song came on.
I'm from Mpls and yes, we were...
But it was Prince's tracks that really got people going. He was ours, and we adored him ♡

😂😂😂
😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Crazy but most of this song was recorded solo by Prince on the album. He just added Morris’ vocals.
They had their one hit. Greatest band? Hardly.
Go see him in concert today. The man doesn’t age, and honors Prince beautifully during his show. What a killer, tight band!!!
I went to his concert in las Vegas at the golden nugget a long time ago. He was smooth, Sharp and he let me on stage with him and the band. He really is a nice guy. I love the time.❤️⭐⭐⭐
Love the Time❤️
Going to see him for the 30th time on May 27
Oh We Oh We Oh !!!!!
I just bought my ticket to see him this month in LA 🙌
I saw him twice and even got on stage with him! My stupid friend messed up recording it 😢. I am still pissed to this day!
Almost 40 years later, this song STILL rocks. Such a great vibe.
And the younger generation doesn't even know who this group is who Morris Day is, sad
are there more 80s songs similar to this out there?
@@16-BitGuy there is Prince, they used to compare each other, to each other, back in the day. Healthy competition against each other
@@16-BitGuy other comparable bands from back then, Vanity 6, and of course Janet Jackson. And her brother Michael Jackson as well
@@16-BitGuy I have heard Tone Loc is good, but all I know of his is, "Funky Cold Medina" , and its a great song
Prince wrote this classic
Dude was amazing !
Wow, I never knew that. Thanks
1 of 4 writers. Morris, the singer here, was also one of the writers
Doesn't shock me Prince wrote all the music for anyone that was connected with him.
he wrote and performed all the instruments on the recordings
Old white lady here! Still loving the beat !🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Not old, better. Any soul sista that loves this song is alright with me.
I'm with you baby❤😂🎉

If you here, you HOTT!
We don't care 'bout no age!!!

Bruno Mars should thank this man. Don't twist it Bruno is poppin.. But lets call truth, he's rockin Morris Day and the Time whole style. THE ENTIRE STYLE
Oh..so it was not just me??
FACTS
And Morris Day should thank Prince for writing the song.
So true!

Morris Day's performance in "Purple Rain" was every good as Prince's. A talented performer with a gift of Comic Relief.
Morris Day was excellent in "Purple Rain"!
i love the bit where his buddy brings the mirror onstage so he can check himself out!
This song kicked ass then and it kicks ass now.
Who elses jam was this Friday night at the skating rink?

I've come to the conclusion everyone thinks their 18-28 years were the best ever.
@@jamesharmon3827, they 80's were the BOMB...riding and jamming on the backroads, not at the skating rink...

He makes being a narcissist look easy.
Ore o ,ooo💯
I forget how good this song is. I happen to find the CD today. Namaste😊
I was 17 when this came out.... 💃🎸✌️😁🌞💨🌈
1983 written by Prince and Morris Day. I never realized it was an actual dance. Just thought it was Morris Day's own personal swagger.
Jesse Johnson wrote Jungle love.
@@eromeopolk My bad, was quoting Wikipedia.
It was a dance everybody was doing it in the clubs at that time.
@@eromeopolkActually Prince, Morris Day and Jesse Johnson are credited as writers.
This man is 66 years old today in 2022. Still as fine as ever. Looking 30. Miss u, and your music, Morris.
They were the first group on the planet!🔥🔥
Great movie and soundtrack!
In addition to being a smooth dancer, nobody holds a mirror better than Jerome Benton.
Jerome was voted "most likely to hold a mirror" in the high school yearboook
Hell ya! LOL! Hes f-in grooovin with that mirrow.
LoL!
Was a club DJ in 80s. This is one of the songs I would jump onto the dance floor to dance to ! Its 2022 and I just bust it out in the kitchen!
Timeless jam!
Ha! Morris, Prince, and Sheila E as a set, brings back great memories and boy I was FIT back then from all of the dancing, lol.
Oh Yeah 🎉
This song has so much funk that the 70s just did a double take..
Wendy Palmer Yes ma'am, yes ma'am..!!
Yaaaaaasssssss
@Wendy Palmer..Hey I am posting another funk tune shortly, hope you like it, LOL!
and the 90s fainted
Damn straight 😁
This dancing fool never hit the floor with a big mirror under my arm... just sayin' MAJOR respect!!!
When he comes out with that mirror.....iconic moment
Thats what im talkin bout...the mirror!!! Shiiiiit
He's starting with the man in the mirror.
Is that the mirror Jimmy Fallon gave Questlove for his birthday? What an awesome gift!
The hand slaps...smoooothe!
I love the guy holding the mirror and dancing at the same time!
This Is 2019 an I'm still jammin out to this song.
It never gets old, right? :)
Me and you both!!!☻☻☻☻
This song is still the shit!
Add me to the list.
my foot moves by itself when I hear this
One of the greatest songs of its time! How do I know? 40 years ago I was 37 and this song stood alone...and still does!
That's awesome

God bless you!
Sir. YES SIR!!
I wish I had a chance to really capture this moment in history 🎯
It’s 1984, and this video is on MTV all the time. I just love it!
Wish it was the 80s again, that decade was a blast. No one took anything very seriously, we were just having fun.
Still listening in 2023! Makes you wanna moooovvveeee!

wow this beat has Prince written all over it,sure miss these 80's tracks...still rocks today.
So glad Prince walked on this earth!
Prince wrote all of the Time's music...Well, at least 90% of it. And he indeed wrote/co-wrote all their biggest hits: Jungle Love, Cool, Get It Up, The Bird, The Walk, Jerk Out, 777-9311.....
Actually this was one of the few songs Morris Day & Jesse Johnson co wrote & co produced with Prince.
bill stock I'm glad he walked the earth to but I wonder did he ever wash his hands from licking his fingers so damn much
you my friend are far from alone..saw both of them a couple of times..I always thought the Time were just the funkiest 80s' band in the universe..

I so miss the days of Minneapolis sound. It was just also cool and fun funky with The Rock just a great combination
As someone who was 4 in 84 and snuck into all my older cousins parties,it was NOT bigger than Prince. It got as much play,but it was NOT bigger than the Purple One.

That distinctive Minneapolis "sound" - driven by the likes of Prince, Morris Day (and the Tyme), Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (also of the Tyme), Alexander O'Neil, and so on - dominated pop music in those days. They set the music world on fire operating from that frozen tundra. Who would ever have imagined! Minneapolis!
I totally agree it I wish it lasted longer I enjoyed all the Minneapolis sound
Make no mistake the scene was popping, so many good times.
Minneapolis Sound dominated the pop and funk world of the mid-80's --- dont forget Sheila E was part of it, too!
I live in Minneapolis dude. Not a frozen tundra all year ;-)

Ye ur getting old
No, we're not getting old. We're just timeless! Like the music of our generation. I've noticed that a lot of young people are discovering our music now & are blown away at how good it is. It's fun to watch their reactions!
Hit the US top 40 on 1/5/1985. Great way to start the year off. Cool and funky.
I busted a heel off a pair of pumps busting it to this back in the day. Kept right on too
