Originally the band was Doroschuk and his two brothers on bass and guitar. When Ivan reformed the band in 2010 I don't know why his brothers were not involved.
A little rough, but mad props for playing every note and all vocals live, also improvising on the synth sounds. It was groovin toward the end.. good fun.
How can you not love this guy. His voice is insane. I was 5 years old when i heard this song for the first time. His voice is therapeutic, its so beautiful. I caught myself dancing when i heard this on my headphones while waiting for the bus. Everybody was staring and i just thought... Well at least you're no friend of mine. I can dance if i want to, and i really want to. Cant wait to see them next year. I signed up as a volunteer at belgium oostend festival next year just to see them.
You can see the benefit of his classical training (he comes from a family of classical musicians) in how he protected his voice and in his ability to use it. Pop and rock musicians who have received classical vocal training are often noticeable for how little deterioration there is vocally with age. A lot of heavy metal singers in particular deliberately get full professional training, because heavy metal singing can all too easily lead to irreparable damage, so you need professional training to preserve it. It is after all their key resource. Ivan obviously isn't in the heavy metal genre, but his training means he can a sing a song as well as he could forty years ago.
1:10-1:15 this reminds me of the kids that would go into the sears at the mall to the electronics department and start playing the keyboards on the shelf
I have absolutely loved Men Without Hats since I first heard and saw them play on Citadel Hill in Halifax, N.S. in the 90s and was simply awestruck by them when they played in the Misty Moon on Barrington St. Halifax. I was standing directly in front of lead singer Ivan whom I've loved and adored since. I love his expressions his quirkiness his dancing absolutely everything about him and the band and I have almost all of their albums. He's also friends with my brother Craig Brown Musician/Drummer who was with me at the Misty Moon. I hope he and his mates are doing well. I'm listening to them still and more so since I'm in hospital likely through Christmas. Lots of love and Merry Christmas to you xoxo
🎉love Ivan he is simply forever I was just a child when he sung this beautiful number yet something so enigmatic and unforgettable about his human presence and meaningful voice that will last me always ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, weather-girl with funny blonde highlights! Who, me? Yes, you! Can you play an instrument? No, but my sister once got a flute. Perfect! Get behind the nord lead please. What? That thing with the same color as your shoes. Ah, that!? Yes, get behind it and make me the safety dance. Safety what? But i don't... two, three and.. dadadada - dada, dadadada - dada
Safe to say, if the original song used the synth's built in arpegiattor or one of those early "still tighter than modern MIDI" sequencers to play a riff, best stick with that, and don't try to replicate it manually, live, at 7:00am, on national television...
This is my favorite one from that whole decade. Just epic. Would do anything, anything, to sing along and dance to this live but they’ve never been to my country.
Wow, sounds like a Fisher Price keyboard for kids. I thought most tv show appearances, especially live, are done with playback. This is one of those times they should have!
Are they actually playing or is the keyboard just a bad recording or the acoustics in the studio? I recently saw them in concert and they were excellent
@@watsonjimclip2778A drum machine. There doesn’t need to be a person on stage controlling that. The bass is probably also a loop or is played by one of the keyboardists. This is just a fact of entirely electronic music.
The energy is seriously lacking - I think bands should just never do daytime TV show performances - I don't think I've seen one daytime TV show performance that was actually bearable.
Per Seal: We’re never going to survive unless we go a little cra cra. It was so cool to listen and watch the original video. They-Men without Hats-Safety Dance didn’t join the pack. Contrary. Is as good to watch/listen to as the original. Whatever age he is, they’re still groovay. I’m 69, I dance around my loft, even and mostly naked. Great to let myself go and just groove, sweat, get the heart rate up. Music will always be the language of love. It’s still how we communicate with others in, what I see, in a joyful and peaceful way. Hey ya’ll. Get a little crazy and heal your soul.
The remix version players made for World of Warcraft boss Haegan the Unclean is one of my favorite songs of all time. It's still played in raids today, 18 years later.
The song was a phenomenal classic but the people on the synth things ruined it. Ivan still saved it the best he could tho but even he couldnt save this shipwreck sadly
even in 2024 a masterpiece, thank you ivan!
Masterpiece? It's a hackjob.
This is great ! the song is great!
From a 64 year old who has loved this song since it's inception
Even does his own echo, what an absolute legend.
Che bel pezzo...sempre attuale
more a lack of suited equipment
Who needs it,..@@goofycker
He still has it. I loved this song, I was in my early 20s , 2 kids, cooking and feeling free. It was a fun song
"...Can you play keyboard?"
"No, but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night"
Lol
One of the best YT comments ever! Well done!
😂
Lol
too funny. The poor keyboards make me think it might be live
I'm guessing the lead singer is the only original member, and the rest of the band wasn't even born yet
Ivan Doroschuk is the singer
Yeah everyone else is replaced
Wow you think?
Originally the band was Doroschuk and his two brothers on bass and guitar. When Ivan reformed the band in 2010 I don't know why his brothers were not involved.
AAAAAHHH HAHAHAHA!!!

His voice got stronger and the song got better. That is rare. Hey lets dance! I love it!
The singing is on point, the keyboard is not even close lol
"on point" 13 years old confirmed
Nurman LeWzrd stfu nerd
KILLKID "nerd" pizza face comfirmed
(`･ω･´)
Yeah I agree. He still sounds exactly like he did 30 years ago ha. Sound is great especially for something that small in a news station.
I miss the madness and variety of the 80s...great to hear a real band. ❤
i agree, great voice, needs a real live band!!!!!! outstanding song, passed the test of time!!
Ivan is the master

The dude opening up his PRS is wicked on guitar !!! 💥😳 😎

Sad,but true, man!
LOL this is like your dad doing karaoke with the neighbourhood kids for community service instead of jail time.
this is so raw. its amazing. Not what I would expect from this guy.
When Grandpa makes music with the grandkids, LOL I enjoyed this

His voice is still similar to the 80's.
Minus the faux whatever accent he used then.
@@jzen1455 Yeah
@@jzen1455 He probably exaggerated his voice a bit in the original recording for comedic effect
If I don't see a dwarf this very goddam minute!
🎉love Ivan he is simply forever I was just a child when he sung this beautiful number yet something so enigmatic and unforgettable about his human presence and meaningful voice that will last me always ❤❤❤❤❤
His voice is brillant! Didn't age!
Where did he find the band? Elementary school music class?
Adult MatchMaker
😂
@@JohnWilliamsGTS LOL
They're from the old 1-800-Cars 4 Kids band.
Yeah a good one.
If you'd told me 40 years ago that I'd be listening to this again on a 'laptop' on a thing called "RUclips" and STILL love it :D
Pure brilliance, i loved the video in the 80’s
Ivan is AWESOME, but the lack of real synths is killing me. :(
Awesome. Stick that horrible word up your hoop
agreed as hell
Hä ?
Nice to see them still going. Sounds good even after all these years
He has the voice ....
Love this! I challenge any band to play in a small studio like this and come out as good. Great job!
Playing the correct notes is always a good start.
Hey, weather-girl with funny blonde highlights!
Who, me?
Yes, you! Can you play an instrument?
No, but my sister once got a flute.
Perfect! Get behind the nord lead please.
What?
That thing with the same color as your shoes.
Ah, that!?
Yes, get behind it and make me the safety dance.
Safety what? But i don't...
two, three and.. dadadada - dada, dadadada - dada
Dude, this comment made my day. Read it to my wife and we can't stop laughing.

Class 👏
Lol
Hilarious..
Coughing in the beginning is the best. Love the song!👍😘🇸🇪
Why pay for good musicians when u can save money ..LOVE THIS SONG
This is so horribly amazing.
Ivan could’ve just done this alone to a backtrack and it would’ve been 1000x better. The guy still kills it
He is legend!
I dunno, at least the keys player in the middlke is ATTEMPTING to play the main keyboard riff. They don't do that nowadays.
As amazingly mad and wonderful as the 80s version. Completely bonkers. I love it ❤
64 years old?are you kidding me?he is so gorgeous 🥰
he's a good dancer, saw him live
The bands timing skills are incredible
Dude that was so good sounded perfect! That made my day, they still got it that was amazing
Everyone keeps saying wow they played all the instruments live! Shows what the musical landscape is like when real instruments become something novel.
Man his voice hasn't aged one bit and sounds amazing
I agree
So good
A stud is a stud is a stud
Just an amazing voice
Muito bom...
Claro que há diferenças entre live e estúdio
Mas confesso que fiquei impressionada com a voz dele...
Ele como sempre arrasando!!!
Concordo ! E ele tem um pique . No palco ele arrasa
What a great song, yes I’m high, but so are you, and we are doing the Safety Dance, and laughing our butts off.
i am impressed that they really do it live ! That is awesome !
Just fantastic
Brilliant song
An everlasting song that will never die.
ivan is fine. but the rest of the band...
true, but ivan still got it.
Yeah. I feel sorry for him. He deserves a better band.
yes he does
Agreed, he was great, but fuck...that keyboard player...can't hold a beat to save her life.
Should have just used playback music lol
amazing to hear him still singing like so many years ago
thank you for posting
5*******
He sings wel but the keyboard ruined this version.
And the guitar - square peg springs to mind
Over time it became a non goofy song....this is some serious rock n roll here!!
To my friend Ivan u look good fr the one and only NANCY
Such a damn good classic
Muito bom!!!! Músicas assim não encontra mais, muito menos a voz.... 😘😍😘😍 Ele está até mais bonito.
This is my favorite one from that whole decade. Just epic. Would do anything, anything, to sing along and dance to this live but they’ve never been to my country.
I love his voice 🎵🔥
nice to see you guys (ivan, heidi,Tracy and all the band)....come back to Peru!!!....hugs!!!
Men Without Hats. Love them!
just so cool still
Wow, sounds like a Fisher Price keyboard for kids. I thought most tv show appearances, especially live, are done with playback. This is one of those times they should have!
I thought it was great! He covered his own song and is just as cool as he was back in the day. 💕. Love
Can’t stop laughing. Excelent comment.😂😂😂😂
I liked the keyboard, seemed like someone was actually playing an instrument
1:47 favorite
Safety dance yeah
This is LIVE!!!❤
Imperfections make a live song. This was great!
I agree. Proves it's live also. Though that keyboard player only had to play octaves, and she still cocked it up!😂😂
this was just awful keyboard work
It's not like the tune required much in the way of musical talent, is it?
and yet the one on the right still stuffed it up
C's an octave apart... how hard is that? She makes it seem like it's rocket science.
Are they actually playing or is the keyboard just a bad recording or the acoustics in the studio? I recently saw them in concert and they were excellent
There in the band because they are blowing him
They’re awful how can they mess this up?
Good song
Safety Dance, the best song of the 80´s!!!!
Nah... Don't you want me baby is the best one.
@@guayabito6946fascination is much better than don’t you want me and they still don’t come close to Safety Dance
Yes!
Holy crap. At least it's performed live. Not many do this these days.
Not really. Who is doing the percussion and the bass?
@@watsonjimclip2778 So a band needs a bass player to be considered as live? Depeche Mode fans would hate you.
@@SloppyliciousI like the fact that only three instruments are being used throughout the song.
@@watsonjimclip2778A drum machine. There doesn’t need to be a person on stage controlling that. The bass is probably also a loop or is played by one of the keyboardists. This is just a fact of entirely electronic music.
@watsonjimclip2778 the workstation
More like Keyboardists Without Timing, am I right??
Top ...❤❤
His voice is superb, no different from it was in 1980’s
Very cool! 😀
This song is magic)
Duse music make you feel really good.
Barking mad and I adore it ❤😊👍
Still got a great voice! He was, probably still is, really charismatic...I dont know why they didn't do more this was Huge!
He's the real deal
100% agree!!
Yes his is great guy and positive great vibes coming out of him at his age
0:08 Bless you!
Eu considero que essa música é arranjo, tudo é de bom gosto!
this is so fucking sad for a great song like this
Great song? 😂😂😂🤮🤮🤮🤮
Such a classic banger.
How kool was that !!
They are still really good 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵👌👌👌👌
Mann , Same voice from the 80's ..Believe me folks , I Was there .. 👍
This is such an awesome performance of this amazing song love it
damn.epic.
ABSOLUTE CLASS!
One of the best songs ever. Im a 90s baby but I love 80s music so much. 80s and 90s for music was awesome.
This is almost too painful to watch.
I took 2 tylenol and a nap about a minute thirty in
Almost????
The energy is seriously lacking - I think bands should just never do daytime TV show performances - I don't think I've seen one daytime TV show performance that was actually bearable.
Brutal
THE..."70"s..."80"s......"90"s....THE VERY BEST ERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
El envejeció pero su voz la mantiene igual
grande Iván
This blew my mind. wow ❤

awesum. u cant beat the 80s classics ❤️
Guys, you're being harsh. This is a phenomenal classic
