Aside from the cleverness of the lyrics, this is still one of the catchiest pieces of music ever to come out of the '80s. Brooks' intention was to make comedy out of almost anything. He succeeded admirably.
Absolutely brilliant. The humor is one of a kind. As a dj from the 80’s i can not even start to recant the horror in peoples faces… but ultimate surrendor to the tune humor and danceability 👍👍
Absolutely Brilliant: Musically, lyrically, satirically, choreographically and castographically (not a real word but Mel would love it). auf wiedersehen, good to see ya, I got a one way ticket to Argentina!
An amazing production on all levels; top notch entertainment. Mel Brooks is the only person who could pull off such a stunt. It's sad that satire has become such a pale shadow of what it once was.
You will always be one of my favorite comedians Mel Brooks. And the best part about you is that you served this country well during World War II. God bless you and your service to this country and your many years of laughter that you have given us to remember.
Bit of trivia. The blonde haired male dancer, Vincent Paterson not only danced in Michael Jackson's Beat It as one of the gang leaders, he also choreographed his Smooth Criminal video too.
@@Agadorn70 It's impressive how large his contribution to cinema is, even beyond his own self-directed work like the wonderful The Producers and Young Frankenstein. David Lynch effectively owes his career to Brooks.
Just Brilliant. I’d love to know who The Dancers/performers in this video are. Are they still alive? Who was the Choreographer? The Director? It’s Totally Mesmerising. Amazing for its time 1983Thanks Mel and producer Pete Wingfield . So catchy. It puts a big smile on my face.
Exactly! I remember an interview with Mel Brooks where he said the best way to get back at Hitler was to make fun of him. Mr. Brooks, you sir are a GENIUS!
I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Brooks when I was subbing in for Rob Reiner's assistant in the 90s - I was too timid. I'll chat with anybody, but he is my idol xoxo P.S. Also I did chat with Carl Reiner, who was the loveliest man :))
To me, this is the 80s giving the finger to today in saying "Yeah, we were politically incorrect, and we knew how to do it right, so screw you cause people will forever love the 80s and wish they were still there."
@@d0101d Its not unfortunately. You got idiots on social media complaining and demanding cancellation of anyone who is not fitting the standards set out today by a small group of people who scream the loudest because the world is not filled with rainbows and sunshine like their parent promised them.

Thanks for cleaning up the video - looks great compared to the others. And thank you Mel for your sense of humor; a sense of humor that people are afraid to express now without the fear of labeling or being canceled. If you don't like something, then you don't watch it!
My headcanon is that the backup singer/dancers are a sort of greek chorus of fate demons who show up to help world historical monsters, but also to shepherd them to their eventual doom. Each new person the verses change, but the chorus is always the same.
Absolutely brilliant Mel Brooks, in one of his many expressions, made it clear that his way of combating barbarism was through humor. Unfortunately, he was not understood. A genius in conveying the truth to the world, from his lyrics to the choreography, everything was brilliant.
thank you Mel Brooks, since I was a wee teen you gave me a kink for Nazi Dominatrix's that I may likely never be able to fulfil to my imagination's truest extent....and yet, only you can get away with that😂
Can you imagine the reaction of people if this was released during ww2? I mean a time where women wearing pants was weird let alone all this. The dancing, the racial mixing, the provoctive nature, light BDSM stuff/slight homoerotic vibes, colored,etc..people would stop fighting for like a day or two to just see this a few times
I started learning about hip hop history from the Netflix series. Then I checked out Beat This. Imagine my shock seeing this and Buffalo Gals in the first 15 minutes or so.
Hitler was certainly misunderstood, failed priesthood, failed artist and failed 988 years short of his 1000 year empire. But he was great at rap and break dancing.
The only way Mel Gibson got away with something like this is because fascism is neither here nor there , by having two black girls dancing in his little dance pack or were they Jewish or Asian female who also have dark skin. All the same what this song is asking , would leave old Adolf , wondering what am I up aganst . Good and clever Mel G.
Only Mel Brooks can get away with videos like this. What are we gonna do when he is gone? We need humor like this to satirize some of the worst things in history.
It's because people think this makes light of Hitler and the Nazis' evil and crimes and for some reason makes them look funky, sexy and a whole list of positive things. These people fail to realise that Hitler and the Nazi would actually hate and be insulted being depicted like this.

Funny thing is, this is making fun of Hitler; something Mel Brooks is really for when making his movies. Like dude made History of the Worlds and blazing saddles lmao.
The answer is simply: not at all. Why would it? It's clearly satire. Lots of tasteless, unfunny nazi jokes in shows like Family Guy and South Park today and they're not getting cancelled, even though their satire is not even close to being as poignant as this song.

And trevor moore
Taika Waititi could do something like this as well
@@aegonthedragon7303 Brooks did It in 1983. Taika Cohen aka Waititi in 2019.
It's not annexing the Sudetenland on the cheap, but its still pretty good.
I mean he is Jewish and fought in WW2 against the Nazis, if he couldn’t get away with this than no one could.
How incredibly gorgeous are those female dancers. God Dam man.
Yup the black lady
Extremely Sexy moves as they enter.
The male dancers aren't bad, either.
@@amandeepvYep, definitely agree 🤪

it's a funky disco rap, I love it lmao
Mel Brooks one of the Greatest Generation .He served in WWII
My grandfather did ask where the bagels came from they served with his bully beef. He preferred chips.

It's the fault of you Americans! Go woke and you go broke!

Rucka rucka ali is pretty close to this
Yes this 2000s generation are entitled degenerates. Hopefully thier kids and new generation won't be so butt hurt.
Geniale

Who knew a history lesson could be so funny!
Big hit in New Zealand in the 1980s
This should be performed at The Oscars upon Mel's death (long time from now hopefully!) as a tribute.
Long Live Mel
“Its good to be the king” should as well.
Holy crap, he is 96 this year (2023)!!! Hope he hits the Century mark!!
Mel is still alive and kicking at 96 God bless him but I agree they really should. This was one of his best performances.
Happy birthday, Mel Brooks!🎉
A top five hit in Australia in 1984. Wasnt a fan of the film but I loved the song and still do,
Lol, I sang this in the playground at school.
Why so? Please reply to me!
@@TheFunnyDictator I guess you're still waiting for a reply almost a year later.
@@reddwarfer999 I forgot about this!
@@reddwarfer999 How did you find out about this song with Mel Brooks in it?
Mel Brooks= GENIUS.
Absolutely
Love this tune. Only a Jewish guy can get away with song. JR !
Not only a Jewish guy, but a Jewish American Veteran who fought in WW2 against Nazi Germany!
Everything about this video and the song of course (and I don't need to explain it) is what made the 80's the best decade EVER.
Chorégraphie qui atteind le sublime, des pépites féminine ou à chaque rythme sont d une merveille sensuelle au plus au point.
Mr Mel Brooks ....simply the best!
lol....couldn't get away with making this these days. Good ol 80's
Ce clip de mel brook un rap de 1984 beaucoup de personnes ne le connaissent pas ,aujourd’hui il ne passerait plus
Mel Brooks, a Genius still alive
OMG I have not heard or seen this clip in decades! They really knew how to do it in them days. Four stars
Brilliantly choreographed by the inimitable Alan Johnson; a long time collaborator with Mel.
Bit of trivia. The blonde haired male dancer, Vincent Paterson not only danced in Michael Jackson's Beat It as one of the gang leaders, he also choreographed his Smooth Criminal video too.
Just seen some of it on TOTPS BBC 4 last night - Thanks for putting it up here
And me .Loved the film too
I'm surprised the BBC would rebroadcast it.
@@Da1Dez They cut it off as soon as the credits finished so didn't get it all!.
To all those mothers in the Fatherland, hahaha, kills me every time
The problem with Mel Brooks is that he is always SO funny he makes things that really shouldn't be funny, absolutely hilarious.
Which is why he refused to be credited as producer on "The Elephant Man"
@@Agadorn70 It's impressive how large his contribution to cinema is, even beyond his own self-directed work like the wonderful The Producers and Young Frankenstein. David Lynch effectively owes his career to Brooks.
Just Brilliant. I’d love to know who
The Dancers/performers in this video are. Are they still alive? Who was the Choreographer? The Director? It’s Totally Mesmerising. Amazing for its time 1983Thanks Mel and producer Pete Wingfield . So catchy. It puts a big smile on my face.
are the dancers still alive ...why not .. only in their 60s now lol
I'd hope the dancers are still alive. This video was 40 years ago, and Mel is even still alive.
This is how the original version should have been made, excellent job cleaning it up!
It was. We just had poor quality version on RUclips
Worlds so soft these days we could never get away with something like this again.
It’s a shame because this is a legitimate masterpiece..
Who is stopping you?
of course you can get away with it. Just be animated like family guy and south park. They aren't getting cancelled
@@ForcesofRandomness And Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, which Mel went out of his way to praise right before it won an Oscar!
Dare you peer into the abyss of r/NPPfunny's brainrot?
THIS! Is the best way to fight evil! I love you so much Mel Brooks!

I heard this randomly on the radio whilst driving today... had NO idea this was a thing...
Nice
Now that's what I call a music video.
It's good to be the king / To Be Or Not To Be : MASTERPIECE !
Bravo Mel and the girls
From germany today
They love the israelies

Lyrics are just nuts on great funky groove… please Tidal make it available in lossless
Wow I have not heard this song in a long time in a galaxy far far away called the 1980's ❤

Can this song be available on Spotify ❤
Mel Brooks is a absolutely legend ⭐️
I'm unironically listening to this because I like the beat.
Don't judge me
It's a good song, irrespective of the satire.
A classic...and the B side dub is great too!!!
Big hit in Germany though censusred in radio.
This is what is great about Mel Brooks. Giving the finger to hate and arrogance with comedic flare.
I started learning about hip hop history from the Netflix series. Then I checked out Beat This. Imagine my shock seeing this and Buffalo Gals in the first 15 minutes or so.
Duck duck duck!
I loved thos back on the 80s. Now I think it beyond brilliant!
Fun fact: Mel Brooks was Jewish, this makes his satyrical send-up of the Nazis all the more funnier cause he was poking fun at them.
Mel brooks superb when you could say what you wanted and NOBODY CARED
My childhood lol
Even as an Austrian I find this funny.
Brilliant!, who were the female dancers?
Extra super Song
excellent👌👌👌
Mel Broks, Je t'aime! 🤩❤💯
Had to send this to the 'allo 'allo podcast.
Best track from Donda 2
😂😂😂😂😂😅
My favorite song fron The New Order: Last Days of Europe
I heard this song from a “Tomboy Tuesday” meme. Not surprised this is what I got for my troubles
Brooks, is a comedy genius!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
So how am I supposed to tell people one of my songs is Mel Brooks rapping about Hitler
Hitler was certainly misunderstood, failed priesthood, failed artist and failed 988 years short of his 1000 year empire.
But he was great at rap and break dancing.
Failed priesthood was stalin.
Don’t forget his greatest achievement, killing Adolf Hitler
@@shenotskilegend for that fr
Masterpiece...
Mel Brooks is just a legend
Does anyone know the names of the actresses/dancers in the video?
that black lady is stunning
Cool!
This is a great little tune. The contents of the lyrics are not so but I love the song.😊
Mad!
80s beat, maybe similar amongst others to Chic Good times
NAZY PARTY....😅
😅 Heil Mel! Only he could get away with this song!!
kanye in the studio
Brings back memories
Good song❤
Very good. Il ❤
When I was youg. 😢
Oh dang, he could throw down some beats
The troops were rocking and the tanks were rolling 😄
The fact that he’s Jewish makes this even funnier
I'm not sure it would be funny if he wasn't Jewish. But, as it is, it's hilarious.
Hah! That's not even the half of it, Mel Brooks actually fought in WWII!
Average music video in Albert Speer's Dengist Germany (Certified TNO funni momento)
To this day it's still brilliant 🤣
Is this sampled from an original hit?
A total genius!!!
The only way Mel Gibson got away with something like this is because fascism is neither here nor there , by having two black girls dancing in his little dance pack or were they Jewish or Asian female who also have dark skin.
