This is exactly why ART is so important in schools across the nation. Music, singing, painting, sculpting, dance, photography, the list goes on and on. Spontaneous creation giving rise to pure life!
@@drivingintothedesertuntilt3202 Also handy for those who have a talent for singing , playing and writing music or dancing , but perhaps might not be that academic or good at sport or what are called the ' core ' subjects .
I know. I just teared a bit. Imagine the choreography that went into this. One may say the number is a beautiful gorgeous mess, but there had to be a ton of prep work.
My too as well as "Out Here On My Own". I saw this film on the movie studio lot when it came out. My Mother and big Sis loved them some Leroy! While Irene Cara was a teen crush for me. This song made made study music at university. R.I.P. Irene Cara. 🙏
My favorite of hers is "Never Let Go Of The Dream." It was the final song of the movie DC Cab, in which she had a brief cameo playing herself. (One of the drivers was a big fan. He went to a lot of trouble getting her in his cab.) If you liked Ms. Cara in her younger years, you'll love her in her prime.
You have to be Theatre kid to truly get how absolutely spot on it is that the two costumed drama students at 3:45 are just carrying on with their conversation, totally unfazed by the chaos surrounding them.
I agree. And definitely the most "spontaneous" outburst of unbridled joy in this history of school lunchrooms fictional or real. Yet poor Doris had to scamper out, overwhelmed by the energy of her overflowing classmates.
I just watched the original Fame a few days ago and had forgotten how pure her voices was. The lunch room scene was one of my favorite scenes in the movie. RIP to one of the most beautiful women the world has ever seen, Irene Cara. Fly with the angels my sister.
Watching this at 48 years old, I’m convinced I can still look cute wearing leg warmers, break into spontaneous song in the cafeteria with my friends & dance my ass off! I also retain the right to be a roller skating muse in Venice Beach 😂❤️
It is a great film and it also showed the darker side of life like when Irene's character went to an audition at what turned out to be a sleazeball's studio . He wasnt interested in hearing her sing or promoting her career , he just wanted to make money from her looks . She came across as so vulnerable in that scene .
This movie was such an inspiration for all artists, Dance singing, music, and theater. I'm sure it inspired a lot of celebs who were teens at the time.
Alan Parker passed away in 2020. He directed the following movies: Fame, Bugsy Malone, Pink Floyd's The Wall, The Commitments, Evita - all thematically different, but unified by music. His more serious dramas - Shoot The Moon, Birdy, Midnight Express - were thoughtful adult stories. RIP, Mr. Parker.
Watching this clip makes feel like dancing, it's soooo energetic and powerful. It reminds me old school days and when the world was a better place to live in.
Remember later in the movie Bruno's father took his demo without his permission & played Fame by Irene Cara. That was a good flash mob too but nothing like this scene. Spoiler Alert: They tried a Fame remake about 30 years after this movie and it was 🗑
I was 14..When I saw this..I wish I was able to Pop in this scene and join Them...Still getting LIFE now at 5:12am in 2020 at 54...Im wide awake now. 😄😊😎❤❤💯💢💥
One of the best music & dance scene in cinema ever: Irene Cara doing an amazing job on vocals, Gene Anthony Ray dancing like no one else in the 80's and an spectacular choreography!!!
I have been crying the past few days. This movie is a classic. Irene Cara and these wonderful musicians changed my life watching this movie. Long live music!!
This brings back good memories. I was at Performing Arts the year Fame was filmed, and got to attend some of the dress rehearsals. At the time, the real-life Sadie, a big black lady, was there serving in the cafeteria. The food was really bad, and you didn't usually have spontaneous jams like you have here, but they usually played some nice dance music.
This show; made the kids from Glee, look like privilege. Pure street grit. Unbridled ambition, blended with the spirit of a New Yorker, that will stop at nothing. No mercy.
The reason this is sooooooooooooooooo much better than the remake? Well ALOT - For examle, this version feels authentic and raw with no rehearsal. They´ll having a good and fun time dancing & playing music. The remake just had an dull rap/song/dance with a stage choreograpy. Dull dull dull.
Shady Sadie the serving lady, we love you, and that hot lunch. Irene Cara R.I.P one of the many voices of my early teens. Thank you for the memories.🙏 Omg I just realized I was 13 years old when this came out. I'm 55 years old now. Time
yessss Calandra Jackson..but nowaday..we see violence,hatred,racism and all about cell phone 24/7..its pathetic..im 54...i miss those days...the real life and the real peoploe.... sadily i don't see this anymore..
RIP Irene Cara! What a legend. This iconic scene defined my childhood, and I wasn't even alive when it this movie came out. A timeless great, she will always be remembered 🙏
2:42 - "she's a Southern lady," and just like that, Irene Cara invented the iconic one shoulder exposed look of the 80s for which Flashdance tried to take credit.
Yes! It happens more than we realize. Look at Cousin Emma on The Brady Bunch (Played By The Late Ann B. Davis). She showed The Brady Family about organization, folding clothes and the like and now Marie Kondo is a Multi Millionaire teaching folks the same thing. Twenty Years ago Five Little Girls in New Zealand talked about how cool it would be to have a Girl Group popular like The Spice Girls. The Father of one of them was a TV Producer who would Create "Popstars" that at one point had 30 Versions all over the World. Most didn't go far with the exception of Girls Aloud the most successful Group to come out of Reality TV in the UK but it was the Prototype for every future Reality Music Show which is now a Multi Billion Dollar Industry.
I could never survive here. It's absolute chaos and noise. I like my quiet time during lunch, the most a conversation. I couldn't. But it looks really cool for them. Super fun.
I love how at first its just random ppl practicing their different songs and it was just this weird mix till.... the percussion started and everyone just falls into line... percussion brings it together, sets the beat, sets the rhythm =)
Shady Sadie, serving lady Don't pay her no mind, no She'll take every dime She's got a one-a-day lunch Good for all the bunch, yeah Hot lunch, yeah Macaroni and baloney Tuna fish, our favorite dish Hot lunch, hey If it's yellow, then it's jello If it's blue it could be stew oo, oo She's got a one-a-day lunch Good for all the bunch Hey, now Hot, hot lunch Oh, oh, no Yeah
I've been going to music school for two years now, learning to play the piano. We had our first jam session this week and this was the first thing that came to mind. Ever since I was little and saw this movie for the first time I wanted to have a jam session. Can't believe I actually go to do it! :D
How did you get on ? I just love how they all knew the music and the two guys playing piano could play it by ear . I always struggled to play without reading music .
@@scooby1992 our teacher gave us a general structure to play around with. It wasn’t a 100% fully improvised jam session. We had clearly explained boundaries and i think that helped a lot. Especially for doing it a first time
Best musical sequence in a now 30 year old movie. Great jam session and choreography. Shows multi racial school putting the BS aside for 5 minutes with a great jam of drums, strings, horns, dancing feet and great piano that drives it and the one and only Irene Cara's voice to hold it all together!
Yeah, and I later found out that Nick & Drew Lachey of 98 Degrees, Boyz To Men, Questlove, Jada Pinkett Smith, Aliyah and Tupac Shakur (RIP), all graduated from similar Schools in Ohio, Philly, and Baltimore, MD.
It's hard to think of a better song or video that captures the frantic exuberance of youth -- at least back in the '80s. I was a freshman in college when this came out and we totally loved this.
I cried for two days straight when Irene passed. My biggest regret is that I was never able to tell her how much she inspired me to follow my dreams. She was Fame. She was the 80's. RIP sweet, beautiful, talented, incredible Irene.
Definitely one of the livliest moments in the film. I love how it starts out with just the cymbals beating and then the piano comes in and then everybody jams. This scene is indeed a "hot lunch jam".
Thank you, N.Y.C.s brilliant High School of the Performing Arts for the inspiration and animating spirit of this film. And, oh yes, some of its performers.
#RIPIRENE… Thank You for the beautiful talent you gave us .. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️ You were truly part of my childhood memories from the early 80’s that I will always cherish .
This is pure bliss & magic. Blues, pop, rock, & jelly roll piano jazz never sounded so bada**, tasty & fun, served up phenomenally by Irene Cara, Lee Curreri & the film's ensemble cast of musicians, singers, & dancers, improvised with phat sass, sparkling exuberance, & flavor!
To use the Gen Z fav expression...I'm TOTALLY OBSESSED with this movie!!!😂😂.. that's it. I'm gonna have to watch it for the 100th time on my next day off❤❤❤❤ RIP to the ones gone, but will NEVER be forgotten. ❤❤❤
I was in a homeless situation in 82’ car repo & had a friend with me that just disappeared in LA Cali. This song kept me strong as I watched a double feature. Fame & Flashdance for 8-10 hrs! 🙏🏽💯 We had been to a Fame street concert previously, Debbie Allen & cast dancing. I left CA & never heard from my friend. I still live with that. 😞
Irene Cara, 'Fame' and 'Flashdance' Singer, Dies at 63. She was a gifted and beautiful genius she defined an era that is close to my heart. Her talent and music will LIVE FOREVER, REMEMBER HER NAME FAME! RIP Irene Cara😥✝️🙏🕊️
very original, creative work. unlike the BS they have today they have all this technology, etc and STILL cannot make a show HALF as good as this one. OMG this was my favorite i still love the music. Same with like WEST SIDE story, GREASe, and other kick ass musical original shows.
Great scene. Imagine the mess it must have been in rehearsals. People crashing into each other over and over. The choreographer deserves a medal. Dave Stang, Director, "BLACKLITE2017 Full movie"
I would love to see this movie in the theater again. This scene had me so captivated sitting in the theater at the time. I love the climax of this scene. To get the full scope of this scene is to see it on the big screen.
R.I.P. Irene Cara.

Movies like these among others are what inspired me to be the musician I am today, and now I teach music in public schools!
Yes indeed
Of course you realize this was pure fiction.
I love how even the lunch ladies are into it too
Irene Cara is possibly the most underrated talent ever. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, she is very talented also. I love her.
She is a fantastic singer and her song What A Feeling is still sung and enjoyed by people now and always will be
Underrated? She starred in 8 movies had 4 top singles. She was blacklisted, not underrated.
@@Nocturnal11Guy Wait, what? She was blacklisted? Why?
This movie but I love her in Sparkle
@@Nocturnal11Guy Very Good. She was blacklisted
Forty years later and this scene still gives me chills.
Me, too!!!
Man I was 5 years old when this came out fame the movie im 45 now
Everytime!
I know. I just teared a bit. Imagine the choreography that went into this. One may say the number is a beautiful gorgeous mess, but there had to be a ton of prep work.
So much energy - it's great
When positive energy consumes a room full of gifted people....this is what you get....a masterpiece!!!
exactly MB..but nowadays we are living in a fuck up society
How could anyone not wanna stand and move with this song?? I sure did!!! And I didn't care! MUSIC IS POWER!!!!
This song was my first thought when I heard the news. I was a huge fan of her amazing voice and talent. She was also so beautiful. Rest in peace Irene
My too as well as "Out Here On My Own". I saw this film on the movie studio lot when it came out. My Mother and big Sis loved them some Leroy! While Irene Cara was a teen crush for me. This song made made study music at university. R.I.P. Irene Cara. 🙏

I just noticed that for the first time today!!
RIP Gene Anthony Ray who played Leroy....died in 2003 ago from a stroke at 41. Such a talented guy.
Absolutely one of the most perfect, immaculate moments in cinematic history.
one of the best scenes in the movie, thanks to irene
Amen
Thumbs up!
Absolutely!
I agree. And definitely the most "spontaneous" outburst of unbridled joy in this history of school lunchrooms fictional or real. Yet poor Doris had to scamper out, overwhelmed by the energy of her overflowing classmates.
RIP Irene 1959-2022
I just watched the original Fame a few days ago and had forgotten how pure her voices was. The lunch room scene was one of my favorite scenes in the movie. RIP to one of the most beautiful women the world has ever seen, Irene Cara. Fly with the angels my sister.
Had crush on Bruno
Watching this at 48 years old, I’m convinced I can still look cute wearing leg warmers, break into spontaneous song in the cafeteria with my friends & dance my ass off! I also retain the right to be a roller skating muse in Venice Beach 😂❤️
As a fellow 40-something, I must implore you to DO EEEET!!
Love Xanadu ❤️
Who says you can’t?😉 i think i want a pair of legwarmers in honor of her now. Can’t ever be in any city without thinking of this jam.😆
Haha I hope you do! ❤
Irene had some serious pipes on her. This jam was one of my favourites back in the day! 🎧🖤
Did you know that she was cast for the movie to be a dancer, then they found out that she could sing. RIP - Irene Cara.
One of my favorite movie scenes. I wanted to go to this school so bad when I was a kid.
Did you have to be accepted?
@@jeffreyschnitman2484 In the film they had to audition .
Same
@@jeffreyschnitman2484 no sir I was not musically talented lol
@@jeffreyschnitman2484 Yes. And you gotta live in NYC and pay tuition. This school was not free....
Everyone looked so free in this clip. I loved watching Fame when I was a child❤
It is a great film and it also showed the darker side of life like when Irene's character went to an audition at what turned out to be a sleazeball's studio .

GIRL YA GOT THAT RIGHT.. who is watching this during this crazy 2020 world ???
It was thrilling and made everyone want to dance like this. But don’t forget the AIDS epidemic was about to wipe out an entire generation of artists.
@@ArsenicJulep: Right 👍
A lot of these kids found it hard to live given the fact that they were gay or coloured.
@@drwatsonca6945 : Probably yes but this scene shows the opposite. It was filmed in 1980.
Things have changed 40 years later.
This movie was the reason I started dancing!!! My mom put it on when I was 6 (2008) and I didn't stop for a long time
Same. I was about 6 but it was circa 1981. :)
RIP Queen Irene! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
how I miss this..... this is the first and best " flash mobs EVER.
I'm 13 but I'm absolutely in love with this movie
I think we all missed this
@@tat3r_t0t33 that's so cool 👍 but, it has to be this one and not that stupid remake 🙄

Spoiler Alert: They tried a Fame remake about 30 years after this movie and it was 🗑
Whoever came up with the beats and song is a genius

RIP 🙏🏾 to you Irene....this is the one that made me fall in love with your talent!!! 🤍🕊💙🕊🤍
I wish there was a place I could go to where this kind of thing happened spontaneously.
You can... in your dreams. 😊
Tell me about it.
This is better than most musicals today seeing this
My high school was like this. Newark High School for the Arts (Arts High) in Newark NJ
@@angelheartonline That sounds awesome!!
My son Ricardo was accepted to the Chicago High School for the Arts. This will probably be his 1st day!
Where oh where has the time gone?, 49yrs old and I'm still waiting to grow up and go to this school.
Life is far too quick 😪
Never too late to take a dance class lol
One of the best music & dance scene in cinema ever: Irene Cara doing an amazing job on vocals, Gene Anthony Ray dancing like no one else in the 80's and an spectacular choreography!!!
Plus the musical genius Lee Curreri on the piano!
Two stars of the TV series Fame.
I have been crying the past few days. This movie is a classic. Irene Cara and these wonderful musicians changed my life watching this movie. Long live music!!

👏👏👏
I remember seeing this in the theater and was dancing in my seat, love you Irene forever!
This film about the high school I tried out for will turn 40 on May 16 2020. I thank the cast and rest in peace to Leroy
I had my very first class of students watch this. Forty years on, I'm still showing it to students. It's absolute perfection!
NOW I remember why I use to want to go to the school of the performing arts!!!

RIP Irene Cara! What a legend. This iconic scene defined my childhood, and I wasn't even alive when it this movie came out. A timeless great, she will always be remembered 🙏
You weren't alive when it came out? Now I feel old. 😅
You should see her in DC Cab. She sang the final number, "Never Let Go Of The Dream."
2:42 - "she's a Southern lady," and just like that, Irene Cara invented the iconic one shoulder exposed look of the 80s for which Flashdance tried to take credit.
Thanks for that info...
The lyric is "She's a SERVING lady."
BJMallory At least Irene sang another massive hit for Flashdance.
But that look was probably a dance thing already in the 70s during rehearsals.
Yes! It happens more than we realize. Look at Cousin Emma on The Brady Bunch (Played By The Late Ann B. Davis). She showed The Brady Family about organization, folding clothes and the like and now Marie Kondo is a Multi Millionaire teaching folks the same thing.

Where the fuck did you get southern lady from?
OMG!! Bruno, The Piano Impresario!!
I could never survive here. It's absolute chaos and noise. I like my quiet time during lunch, the most a conversation. I couldn't.
But it looks really cool for them. Super fun.
RIP Sparkle, you shall be missed…
Rest In power Irene cara
I’m in tears 😢
Rest In Peace Irene Cara🕊️
You were my FAVV musical songstress since 6th grade! I’m so heartbroken right now..💔
I want all of my leg-warmers back!!
