Right?!? Me discovering this for the first time ever in GTA 5 was a wonderful surprise. 😌 Expected, given how GTA games have many great songs, like their developer's namesake, "Rockstar," with familiar and new-to-me jams all throughout them, but still, finding out it's Eddie *too* is the icing on the fresh cake.
He's naturally funny. Did you see him on Jerry Seinfelds Comediens in cars getting coffee? He was funny just in conversation. He did three impersonations that had me in stitches.
People today have literally 0 clue how absolutely massive Eddie Murphy was back in 80's. He wasn't just superstar, the was the superstar of superstars, he was the one superstars aspired to be. Basically as big as anyone could ever be. What a legend.
You are wrong. We were all racist in the 80's. It was white people everywhere. It's only now that black people are sucessfull and recognised. Same for women and gay people. Nothing has existed before the 2020 ... according to "them". LGBT, BLM bullshh... What a fckin sad and poor era we are living in right now. Full of division, censoring, canceling. I am glad I am from the 80's.
before GTA made, this song is popular and more well-known. I discovered this song and fell in love with it and practiced enough that I whipped it out at a karaoke bar and completely killed it. My friends did like this song and my performance so much that couple months on at a different karaoke bar, my friend did the song and tried to imitate my performance at first I was like what biting my style kinda irritating, but then I realized how flattering it was. Good times
Well I think he did a good job, I bet with the right ppl behind him he might have made a decent record or two maaaaybe a hit single. Not gone lie he sounded a lot better than some who spent yrs singing
After watching an episode of My wife and kids when junior sings this so his baby, so it will stop crying, has brought me here to hear the original version 😅
He got CHOPS. And if there was ever any doubt (which this song should have been proof enough), he OWNED his part in Dreamgirls. He not only sings good Pop, but he is a very apt stage singer. Eddie can sing. Period.
The reason is the 80’s was full of artist advances in video making, and using music that was hot created a nostalgic atmosphere of “the way to make videos”. It became cliche and that’s why we had the 90’s until 90’s was cliche.. that’s why we’re in 2023 and there’s so much music now.

Far from me to even suspect Eddie making a timeless song like this. But then after all he hung out with some of the biggest musicians and artists of all time, you gotta soak up a thing or two
I really don't get it, I'm 56 and I remember when this came out, I heard it on the radio and everybody laughed at it, like we knew he was only doing It for the money because he was "Eddie Murphy" so let's get him to sing a dumb song and make money.

@@JuicedCazyD No, he actually won. That song was made to resolve that bet. Richard Pryor claimed that Eddie had no singing talent, so he bet $100k that Eddie won't be able to record a listenable song. Eddie took the bet and responded with that smashing hit, which reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks.
@@HoltijaarEddie paid Rick James becus this has all Rick James over
Just need the vocals 🤷🏽♂️
The best part of this song by far is Rick James. His final verse is what makes this song great.
I'm almost 33 and Just now learning Eddie Murphy made music 😂
This song reached No2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks in a row. I just remember the song would come on and all of the sudden the dance floor would be full! Good times.
Wait til you find Jackie Chans music
Wait till you see Joe Pesci rapping
It took me longer to learn that Mark Wahlberg made absolutely BOPS
Never saw Dreamgirls?
How insanely good this track is! Oh the feels. Pure magic ❤
this aint eddie this is buddy love
If cocaine had a soundtrack, this song would definitely be on it.
Was on mine for years 😂
Yes.
lol. eddie murphy actually never really partied .
@@tybonez1364 but everyone else did
Lay off the Drugs. Were here for the music
This song is probably still on the top ten in Germany.
Nah, Hasselhoff knocked him off years ago.
/s
This is the shit bro who's Hasselhoff anyways
@@dutchproudgaming7486
He’s a chart topping musician, that’s been popular in German speaking countries, since the 80’s. I mean, he was hoisted with a crane & performed a freedom ballad- over the ruins of the Berlin Wall; weeks after it fell.
Aber sowas von mein bester!
So funny!!!
People can say what they want about Eddie Murphy but this a classic jam 😂😂😂
Só eu estou descobrindo em 2024 que o Eddie Murphy era cantor ? Kkkkkkk
Eu também, e o cara canta bem
@@b2edits169 Canta muito!!
Escutei o refrão naquela música do dj Vintage Culture. Hoje na rádio que fui ouvir essa música e então descobri que é o Eddie Murphy que canta 🤯
I swear i never knew Eddie Murphy even sang. This is a master piece.
Me either!! I loved it
This song got a lot of shit back then but I have always loved it!!
You should watch Dreamgirls, his vocals are incredible in that

04..28..2024...Here in Chicago Illinois USA 💯❤
Always an Eddie Murphy fan❤❤❤
Seriously, how epic do you think the parties were that Rick James and Eddie Murphy had in the 80's?! Had to be some great ones!
Eddie's teetotal tbf. Rick on the other hand...
From the way Charlie Murphy told things, it didn't sound like much partying was going down, more like 100% drama.
Eddie didn’t party. It was Charlie and Rick..
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Dont forget CHALEEH MURPEHHHH
Never in a million years I would’ve thought this song was by Eddie Murphy. My mind is actually blown rn, I heard the song before but never knew where it came from. Far from me to even suspect Eddie making a timeless song like this. But then after all he hung out with some of the biggest musicians and artists of all time, you gotta soak up a thing or two
His friend Rick James wrote it.
🤘
Me either I’m just finding this out wtf
Look at his stand up routines where he impersonated singers especially Micheal Jackson, it was amazing how well he was able to sing like them.
I really don't get it, I'm 56 and I remember when this came out, I heard it on the radio and everybody laughed at it, like we knew he was only doing It for the money because he was "Eddie Murphy" so let's get him to sing a dumb song and make money.
That moment when i look for the song stuck in my head and get jumped by rick james and eddie murphy. UNITYeeee
Half an hour ago this song was played at the disco I was in and now I can't get it out of my head.
do me a favour
Bruh i just found out Eddie Murphy sings this song 💀🔥
Damn... That's great! He rocks this. Song! Epic
Simple Cal im pretty sure Rick James wrote it too
Me too! Lol
@@brandonroberts7055 so what?
bruh you and me both lol
Back in the 80s Eddie Murphy was walking on water he could do anything
Amen.. the best time to be alive! ♡
Yeah... I remember those years!!!
@dee man meh the song was basic bitch stuff, eddie sounded fine for an amateur singer, alot worse came out in 1984 trust me
"He could do anything". And did! 😉😂
He was like will Smith in the late 90's
Heard this live at EDC Vegas, I had to look it up, I am SHOOKETH seeing that Eddie Murphy was the original vocalist on this!!!
I use to hear this every now and again on radio. I had no idea it was Eddie Murphy singing this. He’s good
