Two agents coming from bathroom chase you through aerobics class, you then fall through hole in the earth, wind up in China, start dancing on the street wearing a miniskirt and wig and of course you naturally wind up walking through the desert holding you guitar while a remote controlled crop-dusting plane crashes in front of you ...you know, the typical kind of stuff that happened all the time in the 80s
@bigkendallas You so nailed it! And for ordinary nights home alone in the 80s check that accurate mini documentary Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler.
I thought the tune was the original Ghostbusters song...before deconstructing/reconstructing the composition and lyrics....so similar...especially the female vocalists shouting "yeah!...similar to "Ghostbusters!". Just my thought. Good song either way!
@The1baddman The song you mentioned didn't cross over to the Hot 100 but actually his last Top 40 hit was All I'm Missing is You with Glenn Medieros hit #32 pop in 1990.
...and it's true! For straight guys, anyway. And that's the only men he can speak for. Nothing wrong with that. I bet you'd have ZERO problem with a gay recording artist extolling the virtues of homosexuality, now would you...? Hypocrisy.
@@Tre404 You didn't mind him in drag then ? 'Gay recording artists' don't promote homosexuality despite what you might think. You either are or your not. My Problem with this record was all of that was desperation for another hit. And it's......what's the technical word....oh yes = crap.
People, please! Just because he put on a wig and skirt only once for this video, doesn't mean that he's a drag queen. Furthermore, he's not gay. Don't jump to conclusions so soon.
he got a wife and kids ...hell my default pic is of a woman called mrs brown from a tv show called mrs browns boys and mrs brown really is a man Brendan O'Carroll and he dresses up like a woman but that a character he plays for his show ..he is also married with kids ..so same thing here with ray parker jr it don't mean nothing ..some people are just like you say jump to conclusions
But it was a hit, So as you said radio one your from the UK, It was never released as a single or on an album release in the UK so what you on about? Was a hit single in the US, And in Germany, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, + New Zealand
It was out as a single in the UK,in January/February 1986,but fell narrowly short of making the Top 40. I heard it a few times on the radio at the time.
Yep. This was back when we were all allowed to laugh at ourselves, and find humor in our cultural and sexual disparities. I miss those days. We all got along, and laughed TOGETHER, and there was no hate in any of it. I know. I was there as a "minority." It was a wonderful era.
Girl are more fun (las chicas son mas divertidas) yea l know but too the man are more fun it is the life man, me too lm more fun Because l like and of my life too
....Girls may be more fun, but, this Video is still TERRIBLE!! ...Aside from Ray's FABULOUS LEGS (3:27), this was 'fait accompli', for R&B music artists who 'crossover'; ...we KNOW Ray blew up after "Ghostbusters", and, this Video showed a Chevy Chase / Bill Murray / 'Porky's'- esque / week-long cocaine binge Direction, on the Directors' part.....(2:49) (cont.) ..."Sex And The Single Man" (Fall, 1985) was Ray's most 'commercial' Album, and it's DATED for it's time, but Ray is SOOO much more than a great set of gams....He REALLY needs the respect for his MANY musical contributions...Who ya gonna ca- (4:28)......
Arista wanted another hit like "Ghostbusters" without him being sued, so this happened. I first saw this on "U68" music TV on channel 68 ny/nj area WWHT, an early cable movie template like HBO. Mtv banned a lot of soul and other indie videos, and U68 picked them up. And yes, the video still kind of sucks. Some lyrics are a little phobic, but I bought the LP as a $1.99 cutout in Woolworth's. Cutouts usually mean albums flopped hard.
@@aaronbennett7474 I doubt it too. I'm not gay but I was around at the time this song came out,if you pardon the pun,and the assertion doesn't seem to have any plausibility. There was no suggestion of any such a thing that I heard of anywhere then.

Ray Parker, Jr. ( of the group, Raydio) has some gorgeous legs! He still looks good today. An awesome musician and songwriter!
You know out of all the songs that Ray Parker Jr. has ever sung ( Girls are more fun ) , is my favorite song ever.
RIP, Irene Cara.
The backing vocal harmonies, are quite something on this tune.
Who's singing background vocals on this song?
Who's doing the background vocals on this song?

I never saw this rather insane video before, but I used to really like this song!!!!
2:48 will haunt me in my dreams for a while.
despite the dark side of the 1980's, that time was still a time of fun
racist
Well I guess every period in time has its dark aspects
Una de mis favoritas de los tonos del verano 1986 muchos recuerdos ju veniles muy excelentes arreglos musicales😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤😊
Great song and even better video! Some outstanding choreography here!
Such a shame i wasn't born in the eighties :( Much better music and less problems
Yeah but its much better then the modern shit
Heard this sone for the first time today 12 June 2024, how did I miss this one in the 80s! Great song
Did you all know he was in Uptown Saturday Night. He was in the band (drummer) at the Church cookout scene..
i wish the 80's come back just one more time we can bring it back by listen to the music ...
Cocaine has entered the chat.
@@mattscott2985 oh yeah

I can totally believe that, and the fact that the ending suggests that the events loop makes this even more ironic! 😁
@bigkendallas You so nailed it! And for ordinary nights home alone in the 80s check that accurate mini documentary Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler.
I totally 4got about this 80's classic by Ray! Dang! I am getting 2 old in my early 50's! LOLLLLL! What is ray doing now in 2019??
I saw a photo of him about a year ago. He looked healthy. Very handsome.
He was on the road playing with Brian Culbertson.
The hair from the 80's is more fun 😆😆
Ghostbusters theme in the background :D
Ray Parker Jr.; sexy, great voice and willing to do something funny for this video.
Ooo dat 80s beat! : )
The way they use ghostbusters at the front lolz
I thought the tune was the original Ghostbusters song...before deconstructing/reconstructing the composition and lyrics....so similar...especially the female vocalists shouting "yeah!...similar to "Ghostbusters!". Just my thought. Good song either way!
hey, he made music videos in the 80's! get him!!
Now thatszzz. Music!!
This guys awesome haha
I hear a bit of the old motown sound from the 60s with the background singers the ooowoo.

Irene Cara was gorgeous.
RIP to Irene Cara
You got right ray girls are more fun
Yep,they are,the party ain't begun,'til,etc.
Very old video But Its still fun
Ray, getting touch.with his.fem side!! Hahaha!! 😊 💘 😆 😍 🌈 🌴 🚗 🎶
Anyone alive could’ve been a video director in 80s
80s had them wierd story lines I swear, homie went to china
this was his last top 40 hit. didn't chart well,, but I liked it..
His last top 40 hit was in 1987 "I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone" kind of a R&B- Smooth Jazz-ish song.
@The1baddman The song you mentioned didn't cross over to the Hot 100 but actually his last Top 40 hit was All I'm Missing is You with Glenn Medieros hit #32 pop in 1990.
This was some serious beat meat material in the 80's right here before internet porn lol

have you heard man shouldn't sleep alone? which rules do you think he meant in that? unless he was admitting to being a paedophile
@@steelersrock1011 Not only does Ray like pussy...but it's sort of anti-gay song..i.e., "for those that have gone the other way, girls are more fun."
Guter Song und gute Musik
R.I.P Irene Cara
girls are more fun (garotas são muito loucas): eu viajo aos meados dos anos 80!!!! shoooowwww!!!!
I heard it on radio one never a hit have this on 80s soul compilation. Part of the video spoofs fame
But it was a hit, So as you said radio one your from the UK, It was never released as a single or on an album release in the UK so what you on about?
Was a hit single in the US, And in Germany, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, + New Zealand
It got a fair amount of airplay in the US.
It was out as a single in the UK,in January/February 1986,but fell narrowly short of making the Top 40. I heard it a few times on the radio at the time.
@ 3:50. Didn't know they were droning black folks back in the 80s.
They should do it in 2019
couldnt agree more women are awsum i love the way they feel look i full appreciate the physical spiritual energy that a good woman can add to a man
Yeah, with all the gender wars that happen now and then, this was a refreshing read. Thank you, Toju! ☺
Not the best song I ever heard but better than the trash on mainstream radio today! Also, nice cameo from Irene Cara! 😊
Is this a Key and Peele sketch?
Que buena rola!
Show de bola é só ter tempo que agente acha música e cantores do nosso tempo aqui é Brasil.

Wow This Is Song As Ghostbusters Also By Ray Parker Jr On Music Video
This video made my neurons hurt
What album was this taken from?
His 1985 release "Sex and the Single Man".
This was song back in the 80 especially when he says guys who go the other way girls or more fun.
Was it taken from "Sex And The Single Man" Album in 1985?
Yeah
