I seriously don’t think Lionel has had one single bad track ever, even when he was with the Commodores. He’s just amazing, love his voice. This is so upbeat. Classic 80s nostalgia 🎶👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, it's very happy and motivational song. I'm a 90's kid but I do remember the late 80's growing up. I'm just wondering how they did the walking on the ceiling effect??
Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ please send me a via.lionelrichierecords78@gmail.com
I liked his quip about the upside-down cake :) I'm English so had only seen very fleeting appearances by, and references to, him in films etc. until I saw a bit more of him on RUclips in recent years. He was a very funny guy, top rate.
Am I the only one with nostalgic tears in their eyes? To long for such happier times…. God how I wish it so. The energy from a track like this is just so uplifting. The world may be going crazy but it’s songs like this that restore my hope and I know everything will be alright in the end. Love y’all 🥰
And at the same time, the youth of today will look back with teary eyes about the songs on the radio today, many years from now. Nostalgia sure is a very strange thing, isn't it?
So true, people were a lot less uptight. Great music like this was everywhere. On the radio, Mtv and in the clubs. Whatta great time to be alive !! 1980's forever baby !
Janet Jackson, Bon Jovi, Run DMC, Van Halen, Madonna, Genesis, AND Lionel Richie (showing the young ones how it's done!) Such a great year for fun music!
This song takes me right back to 1986 when I had just met my husband Gareth. Had 34 yrs together. I lost him at 58 yrs of age to cancer . This reminds me of him. Love you Gar. Miss you love ❤️❤️
I was born in “76” so I remember Lionel’s music as part of my childhood. When my aunts and uncle’s would talk about a party they’d gone to the night before, they would say “man we was dancing on the ceiling.” It was all part of the 80’s culture. This type of fun just doesn’t exist anymore.
80s music was the greatest. I was 18 in 82 and I am so glad I was young and able to take full advantage of that decade and I still enjoy rocking and partying to the music in my 50s. Keeps me young.
I was 10 when MTV came out and got to enjoy the evolution of music in that era. By the mid 80’s, every artist understood the power of MTV with creative videos like this. But the music still had to good and the 80’s MTV era holds up very well.
I was Five years old in 1982 but still remember hearing this song, especially on the school bus drivers favorite radio station. Great memories of the 80s as a kid.
This video was directed by Stanley Donen, the man who helmed "Singin' in the Rain". "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "Funny Face", "Damn Yankees" and most importantly "Royal Wedding", which featured Fred Astaire famously dancing on the ceiling. We Love You, Mr. Donen. And you Oscar acceptance is the best I've ever seen, and heard! Bless you Sir.
Heard this number as a kid. 45 now, lived all my life in India. My aunt and my cousins introduced me to this on their visit and man was I hooked. What energy, what a feel good positive song. This used to symbolize America for us, not the songs and videos that come out now. This is brilllllliant!
I'd argue that communism is the first on that list, atleast with capitalism it functions moderately. Whereas communism ruins the country and it's people.
Yes, to my future wife, this will be played on our wedding day! This also might be my most played song of 2021! Instant feel good and makes me fall in love with life all over again! 💞
That man blew the roof off The Arena with this song. People were dancing in the aisles, on their seats, sweating, dancing with strangers... and that was him opening for Tina Turner's high octane show. He really knows how to bring on a celebration.
Lionel Richie was at the top of the charts when a girl was born in my family. She's turning 41 and the music is just as great now as it was then. One of the greatest artists of that era. What a spectacular voice he has. Love the upbeat music that was great for dance and romance.

People looked like they were genuinely enjoying themselves in this video. Nowadays everyone looks awkward and care about how their every move looks because of the Internet.

Yes I love. Lionel too. I would love to meet him before I die. He wrote happy and beat beautiful love songs. I could listen to him sing forever and I think he is wonderful eye candy too❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best videos for a great song. The guitar solo is one of the best, Carlos Rios is a badass. Going to see Lionel on June 4th here in San Antonio. Gonna dance on the ceiling for sure!

This guy wakes up in the morning with great lyrics in his head , writes them down and turns them in to , not only hits but timeless hit at that! Top drawer .
Respectfully, it's called acting and entertainment. They weren't happy either. The grass isn't greener on the other side but greener where you water it.
Every generation/decade has challenges. As soon to be first time parents we were terrified of AIDS. Since then, not limited to, two golf wars, unstable worldwide economies, & the biggie, COVID 19. I the ‘60 & ‘70 Some of the most memorable music was inspired by the Vietnam War. No matter what the music sees us through.
Rodney Dangerfield's cameo appearance at the end of the video is PRICELESS! RD: Hey what's happening here? LR: Come on up! RD:(looks in the camera surprised 🙀)OH I SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN THAT UPSIDEDOWN CAKE! HEY LOUIE COME HERE, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS!!! HEY LOUIE, LOUIE!!! 🤣🤣🤣
IIRC, this video was inspired by the late Fred Astaire, God rest his soul, who, in one of his movies WAS dancing on the ceiling. If I also remember correctly, Fred was dancing on a ceiling that was actually on the floor and it was made to look like he was dancing on the ceiling. Also, in the movie Easter Parade, Fred was dancing slowly in one scene and the people behind him in that same scene was dancing at normal speed in the same scene.
One of the best song of the 1980's. Incredible video, this song definitely is a dance floor filler, incredibly beat, sound, singing, uplifting, moving! 1980's and 1990's were great, great music, and I think many people tried dancing on the ceiling after watching this video.
I began high school in 1988, during a time when the music of the 80s was truly memorable. It was a decade that produced some of the most feel-good tunes that will forever remain embedded in my memories.
In the film Royal Wedding (1951), the scene featuring the song "You're All the World to Me" was filmed by building a set inside a revolving barrel and mounting the camera and its operator to an ironing board which could be rotated along with the room. Astaire danced in the barrel set as if he really danced on the wall and ceiling. It inspired the Lionel Richie song "Dancing on the Ceiling" with the music video featuring Richie doing the same room dance as a tribute to Astaire.
Lionel Richie also hired the same director of that film, ( Stanley Donen) to direct this video, and it was choregraphed by the late great Michael Peters, he's the man in the stripped shirt.
Go Lionel Richie! This joint and this video is straight up happy and 🔥. Lionel released his BEST work in the 80s. Although I like his Albums Coming Home(2006) and Just Go(2009)!
It's a masterpiece. It's also fascinating to watch, knowing that the set is essentially a rotating box, carrying the camera with it, how the box quivers and shakes a little as people move their positions during the sequence.
It sounds as if the same technology was used with this song as was used in the movie where Fred Astair danced on the ceiling. Amazing considering how many years passed between the two routines. 😊
I wasn’t born in the 80s, I didn’t live through the 80s but it sure looked like an amazing decade to be apart of and today’s music just ain’t got the soul compared with 80s music. Long live the 80s!
The 80s was like every other decade, a lot of bad things were happening, but people made great music at the same time. Although the music was better than average in my opinion.
Lionel, You have so many classic songs that I grew up with! And when you were with the Commodores too! Thank you for the memories. Thought of you guys when all the Commodores came through my gate I was doing security at in 2017 at Riverfest in La Crosse, Wisconsin. They look like Navy Admirals, but just not singing. I’m smiling. Love your songs! Lord bless and keep you dear friends!
Me too! There's a clip on RUclips showing how they made it. Basically with a moving stage, but the camera doesn't move. The furniture was glued to the floor. Pretty fascinating
Christopher Nolan used similar setups for "Inception," I think. There was also a sci-fi movie called "Upside Down" a while ago. 2012, I think? Twin planets, gravity reversed, something like that. And getting two sets of dancers, with one upside down, in the same shot, isn't rocket science: it's a composite shot.
My mom loved this song! And loved to dance. We’d dance together and occasionally my late father would join her. I so loved watching the two of dance and imagining them in their hey day. Enjoy life ‘cause you only get one shot at it....

Uploaded on the 7th July. Before letting your mind get blown and accusing people of lacking having their shit together, check the most basic statistics. You will find there is nothing mind-blowing going on here.
***** No, in fact it is because this video was only uploaded to youtube on July 7, 2016. The OP's comment was posted on September 6, 2016 - or only some 60 days after the video was published on youtube. In the 5 months since it was uploaded, it has garnered some 700,000 views, or 5,000 views per day since it was uploaded. At that rate, it will only take a few more years until it does reach 200 million. (Well, 109 years to be exact).
2:36 I wish that lineo Richie Could come to the emerald queen casino in Tacoma to 3:08 sing that would be alot of fun I just turned 62 years old June 30th and I was born June 30th 1962 and I heard this song In 1980 I love this song lauriealvaro
This song is 100% my wife. I lost her a day ago, and even in death, she gave of herself as an organ donor. Three people's lives were saved because of her gracious donations. I will love her forever.
I think I like your wife a whole bunch! Condolences my friend. I will keep good thought and You are in my daily blessings and meditations. If I may, Thank you so much for sharing What you're going through..... And also thank you for commenting on THIS song! Now, every time I hear it, I will think of your story... Of you and your wife Dancing... On the Cieling.
Sorry for your loss. My husband was blessed to receive a heart transplant 7.26.22. It is because of generous souls like your wife and his donor that people are blessed with more....

Mmmm yes if you do get a hold of a time machine, try not to get involved at all with the Challenger disaster, John Lennon's death, AIDS, Iran contra affair, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, etc. Lol just saying, every time period has good times and bad
I was born in 1962 but my first recollection of the music scene was the Supremes, the Beatles, the Monkeys, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Lulu, plus a whole slew of o the artist. Then came the 70s with the Jackson 5, the Osmond Brothers, Donna Summer, Yvonne Elliman and others. But the 80s.....oh wow........! What a wonderful decade.
I've loved this song forever. I'm 66 now & still want to get up & dance
You can!
Do it, I dance in my car.
You can what???
i'm 32 and I 100% feel the same ^^
Me too
Lionel Richie still listening fae 1990 ❤
God, why can't music like this be made anymore? The feel good vibes and positivity is outrageous. It's like I'm dancing on the ceiling!
they can, it's called cocaine!
Because we’re in the last days and things are getting dark…
Well said! I ask that question every single day. At least we'll have these incredible songs for all our days.
its harder to made then new junk which are boring and without interesting rhytm and peak sound/chorus
@@Mr11ESSE111you mean rhythm
Modern things are even better(up to 900 trillion times better)
By 2024 standards, this is almost TOO much fun! 😂 What a song!!!
Damn straight! This is the kind of stuff we should be reviving from the 80s, not the whole cyberpunk-vaporwave cynicism of our contemporaries.
❤😂Too much. I love it
Bleachers has been making some fun music recently.
give them time, they will find a way to consider this offensive
far much better than the condescending/awful/nasty/racist rap and most hip hop songs we hear since 2000.
Lionel is one of the only guys that can do country, soul, and rock and still look and sound fantastic doing all of em.
Don't forget dance mix also with the song "Angel".
Icon! One of the greatest. The guy oozes charisma and epitomizes versatility. He's made some timeless songs - and still continues to do it!
Very True, I love Lionel. And by touching all those genre's he opened himself to multiple markets, multiple fan bases. he's got many great songs
Christopher C And pop!
Amen
I'm so blessed I was born in the mid 70s, raised in the 80s
You must have some memorieso fh te 70's also as well!
80's were an amazing time to grow up.
1975!

There's a ton of awesome things that the Internet brought but I feel it messed up the world at the same time, globalisation. Was life really better back then? I'm feeling really sad right now lol
❤❤❤❤
Il love Lionel Richie
Yes I love. Lionel too. I would love to meet him before I die. He wrote happy and beat beautiful love songs. I could listen to him sing forever and I think he is wonderful eye candy too❤❤❤❤❤
One of the best videos for a great song. The guitar solo is one of the best, Carlos Rios is a badass. Going to see Lionel on June 4th here in San Antonio. Gonna dance on the ceiling for sure!
We were born for great music like this. I love Lionel. His music is emotional !

Yeah
Lionel DOMINATES! A real American hero 🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
I know how it’s done but don’t care. One of best vids ever and a great happy song.
It was a nice song, but watching this video with the song makes it a GREAT song! Long live the 80's!!!
Lionel Richie is the best - music really was better back in the 80s. More melodic, real instruments audible...
Not to mention upbeat, positive and easy to dance to (no pun intended)
To me so much more of the music was HAPPY!!! Made you feel HAPPY!!!
This guy wakes up in the morning with great lyrics in his head , writes them down and turns them in to , not only hits but timeless hit at that! Top drawer .
2023 - can we all please jump into the time machine and go back to the 80s where EVERYONE WAS HAPPY AND HAVING A BLAST!!!!!
yes
@@sharonbraselton4302lol we were all scared of Nuclear War so had to actually unwind
Respectfully, it's called acting and entertainment. They weren't happy either. The grass isn't greener on the other side but greener where you water it.
And it's greenest over the septic tank.
Every generation/decade has challenges. As soon to be first time parents we were terrified of AIDS. Since then, not limited to, two golf wars, unstable worldwide economies, & the biggie, COVID 19.
I the ‘60 & ‘70 Some of the most memorable music was inspired by the Vietnam War.
No matter what the music sees us through.
Rodney Dangerfield's cameo appearance at the end of the video is PRICELESS!
RD: Hey what's happening here?
LR: Come on up!
RD:(looks in the camera surprised 🙀)OH I SHOULDN'T HAVE EATEN THAT UPSIDEDOWN CAKE! HEY LOUIE COME HERE, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS!!! HEY LOUIE, LOUIE!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I was working a hotel party New Years Eve 2000 and everybody brightened up so much when this song played. A real crowd pleaser
Chuef did too then flew patisserie fwace cincorde
IIRC, this video was inspired by the late Fred Astaire, God rest his soul, who, in one of his movies WAS dancing on the ceiling. If I also remember correctly, Fred was dancing on a ceiling that was actually on the floor and it was made to look like he was dancing on the ceiling. Also, in the movie Easter Parade, Fred was dancing slowly in one scene and the people behind him in that same scene was dancing at normal speed in the same scene.
, the 80's were a pretty great decade, with wonderful music... shame that there isn't any good music being made these days.
I grew up listening to Lionel's classics and even now, at 38 I absolutely love them :)
Same 32 here🤘🎶
Just saw him in concert last night he was so amazing! I’m 38 as well
45 and this song is still great
..read your comment fairplay to you 😉🙂😎
hey pretty lady you great taste
God bless you Mr. Lionel Richie ❤🎶🎶
One of the best song of the 1980's. Incredible video, this song definitely is a dance floor filler, incredibly beat, sound, singing, uplifting, moving! 1980's and 1990's were great, great music, and I think many
people tried dancing on the ceiling after watching this video.
I began high school in 1988, during a time when the music of the 80s was truly memorable. It was a decade that produced some of the most feel-good tunes that will forever remain embedded in my memories.
Me too, best decade ever. Those songs just stick with you.
This song is pure sound of joy and happiness all the time.. woah!!
Perhaps We wanted "To Dance on the Ceiling!" However in this day and age anything goes that ís for sure!!🥰❤️
Thanks for the great comment, i’m forever grateful. hope you enjoyed listening to my songs?
yes 9tvwas
Lionel is a legend! My parents used to play him all the time whilst I was growing up. Good times
In the film Royal Wedding (1951), the scene featuring the song "You're All the World to Me" was filmed by building a set inside a revolving barrel and mounting the camera and its operator to an ironing board which could be rotated along with the room. Astaire danced in the barrel set as if he really danced on the wall and ceiling. It inspired the Lionel Richie song "Dancing on the Ceiling" with the music video featuring Richie doing the same room dance as a tribute to Astaire.
Lionel Richie also hired the same director of that film, ( Stanley Donen) to direct this video, and it was choregraphed by the late great Michael Peters, he's the man in the stripped shirt.
Would anyone have even noticed Lionel Ritchie was black or white. What happened to a country working toward all of us Dancing in the Ceiling.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤ esse foi sempre será os tempos bons! Continuara em minha memória, adoro dançar e quando entreva no salão, nada me tirava, como curtir!!!!!!
I miss the 80's! Who else wishes they could go back?!
One of ‘80s’ finest...
The ultimate feel good song !!! Play it every Saturday before I head out to the bar...
Go Lionel Richie! This joint and this video is straight up happy and 🔥. Lionel released his BEST work in the 80s. Although I like his Albums Coming Home(2006) and Just Go(2009)!
It's a masterpiece. It's also fascinating to watch, knowing that the set is essentially a rotating box, carrying the camera with it, how the box quivers and shakes a little as people move their positions during the sequence.
It sounds as if the same technology was used with this song as was used in the movie where Fred Astair danced on the ceiling. Amazing considering how many years passed between the two routines. 😊
The 80's were a great time. Everyone got along.
I wish it was like that now.
GREATEST SONG ! ! LOTS OF MEMORIES ! !
Not really. Don't let nostalgia overtake the reasonable part of your brain.
Hate always existed. Back then, today and forever.
@@JohnCena8351 Hate Has always existed but it was just a more carefree time for many of us.
@@MICKLUVR Sure. If we look at it from a purely egoistic pov it's true.
Such a better time in life. God bless
80's OH WHAT A FEELING!!! Yes. They were that fun...
TO ALL FRIENDS ! ! AND TERRY DO YOU REMEMBER THIS SONG ?
One of the best songs
I wasn’t born in the 80s, I didn’t live through the 80s but it sure looked like an amazing decade to be apart of and today’s music just ain’t got the soul compared with 80s music. Long live the 80s!
Insomnia
I was a rowdy kid in the greatest time rowdy kids ever had........
you have no idea
You missed the greatest decade for music, movies, cars, and fashion.
The 80s was like every other decade, a lot of bad things were happening, but people made great music at the same time. Although the music was better than average in my opinion.
Lionel, You have so many classic songs that I grew up with! And when you were with the Commodores too! Thank you for the memories. Thought of you guys when all the Commodores came through my gate I was doing security at in 2017 at Riverfest in La Crosse, Wisconsin. They look like Navy Admirals, but just not singing. I’m smiling. Love your songs! Lord bless and keep you dear friends!
Still to this day, it amazes me how they did this video! Even by today's standards the effects are very good! I love it!
Me too! There's a clip on RUclips showing how they made it. Basically with a moving stage, but the camera doesn't move. The furniture was glued to the floor. Pretty fascinating
It’s basically an homage to a Fred Astaire dance number, actually.
Done in 1951 : ruclips.net/video/b1AQjcmzvx8/видео.html
@@Gleem1313 thank you for that
Christopher Nolan used similar setups for "Inception," I think.
There was also a sci-fi movie called "Upside Down" a while ago. 2012, I think? Twin planets, gravity reversed, something like that.
And getting two sets of dancers, with one upside down, in the same shot, isn't rocket science: it's a composite shot.
My mom loved this song! And loved to dance. We’d dance together and occasionally my late father would join her. I so loved watching the two of dance and imagining them in their hey day. Enjoy life ‘cause you only get one shot at it....

Fantastic special effects. Fred Astaire would be proud.
Life is one grand, sweet song so start the music.🥰
After thirty years, I still love this video, but damn! How '80's can you get?
It has that 80s energy to it.
Let this world have a party like no other, let's dance in the streets of freedom, peace and most of all love ❤🇱🇷🙏🏻

Ylchief loves oartes
This is legendary... I know the basic idea of how they did it but am still impressed and baffled about how they filmed some of the stuff... bravo lionel.... bravo indeed
One of my all-time favourite 80s videos. Such joy, such a feelgood factor.
Hello yes, such amazing talent, is this your favorite song?
Thanks for the love and support..
@@baroundtony3427 ciao Tony!😊😘💘
How this doesn't have 200 million views blows my mind cmon people get your shit together
Because it's just published in july 2016 ;)
RUclips took down several other videos of this song. I think it's already 4th or 5th upload from VEVO
Uploaded on the 7th July. Before letting your mind get blown and accusing people of lacking having their shit together, check the most basic statistics. You will find there is nothing mind-blowing going on here.
bei Lärm drücke ich dislike.
***** No, in fact it is because this video was only uploaded to youtube on July 7, 2016. The OP's comment was posted on September 6, 2016 - or only some 60 days after the video was published on youtube. In the 5 months since it was uploaded, it has garnered some 700,000 views, or 5,000 views per day since it was uploaded. At that rate, it will only take a few more years until it does reach 200 million. (Well, 109 years to be exact).
The vocal control is legendary
2:36 I wish that lineo Richie Could come to the emerald queen casino in Tacoma to 3:08 sing that would be alot of fun I just turned 62 years old June 30th and I was born June 30th 1962 and I heard this song In 1980 I love this song lauriealvaro
This song is 100% my wife. I lost her a day ago, and even in death, she gave of herself as an organ donor. Three people's lives were saved because of her gracious donations. I will love her forever.
I'm sorry to see this. Your wife is an angel! Thoughts are with you and your family!!!
I think I like your wife a whole bunch!
Condolences my friend. I will keep good thought and You are in my daily blessings and meditations.
If I may, Thank you so much for sharing What you're going through..... And also thank you for commenting on THIS song!
Now, every time I hear it, I will think of your story... Of you and your wife Dancing... On the Cieling.
Sorry for your loss. My husband was blessed to receive a heart transplant 7.26.22. It is because of generous souls like your wife and his donor that people are blessed with more....
I pray for you my friend
Your strength in loss is admirable.
Congratulations with the 70th anniversary Lionel Richie! May your lovely voice and music live forever!
You can't get more 80s than this song

Thanks for sharing, I finally found it,the title music was Miss universe 1988 at Taipei city .
~From Taiwan~
If this song doesn’t cheer you up then I don’t know what will. Good times!
Truly the 80s was the best decade ever. Hope one day someone somehow invents time traveling. So I can stay there and never come back.
Mmmm yes if you do get a hold of a time machine, try not to get involved at all with the Challenger disaster, John Lennon's death, AIDS, Iran contra affair, Chernobyl, Exxon Valdez, etc. Lol just saying, every time period has good times and bad
@@kbanghart bet ur fun at parties
@@jdbizzle8677 What parties? I've been in lockdown for over a year lol
@@kbanghart .
It was the most optimistic decade. All I keep saying lately is I wish I had a time machine.
Oh my I love you xxx
Hello Dawn
Hello
I was born in 1962 but my first recollection of the music scene was the Supremes, the Beatles, the Monkeys, Smokey Robinson, James Brown, Lulu, plus a whole slew of o the artist. Then came the 70s with the Jackson 5, the Osmond Brothers, Donna Summer, Yvonne Elliman and others. But the 80s.....oh wow........! What a wonderful decade.
It's almost impossible to not dance to this.
Classic 80s
Well, I'm sitting here, enjoying the music without dancing to it.
Anonym
That‘s because you are a very, very special snowflake.
I'm too busy overdosing on coke to dance.
