Harry and Sweet Pea have still got it!
What a groove. Killing it.
So damn good, a pinnacle of funk 🤙
"Walk the Dinosaur" is a song by Was (Not Was) released in 1987, from their album "What Up, Dog?" The music video featured four scantily clad 'cavewomen' dancing while a Flintstones-style TV played clips from Daffy Duck and the Dinosaur. Modern people danced to the song during the "Everybody kill the dinosaur" part. The song reached No. 7 on the US chart in 1989, two years after its UK success and became the band's biggest hit single in their home country.
According to an interview with co-writer Randy Jacobs, it "was an infectious sing-along with a Flintstonesque video that probably got played on MTV way too much. But even that seemingly good-time anthem had a dark side. [...] The song's about nuclear Armageddon. It became a dance (anthem) because of the video.
Yes the best song ever!
Alright...this is cool. Just heard it back on a countdown from the 1989, kind of forgot about it, now I got the live version.
Marcus miller played bass on orig record, he slapped every single note that day, slapped it hard.
what a great performance. Shame to hear that Sweet Pea died a couple of years ago.
Oh no
BROTHER I AM ON THE FLOOR
Dear Lord have mercy.

He really still had IT with this performance. I loved this song from being in the Super Mario Bros. movie of 1993.
The Wolf Brothers!
Singer on left thought he was turning up for rehearsals.

Incredible !! Who is this drummer. WOW Best version here
Boom boom
Before pure music. Now pure noise with covid19 as bonus
Who is on B-3. and who is the drummer. AWESOME
Ripping…It…Up…And your question is?! 🙄
When are you guys coming to london???
LOL ! London is a anthropologist's dream . Maybe they'll show up . Make sure to notify the loch ness monster .
What's the guy on the Motif doing? I don't hear any sounds that aren't being made by the actual band. I think he's just adding horns. Is he even patched into the audio?
Brian Parsons Good question. His name is CJ Vanston and if you check out the rest of the videos you Can actually hear him play. He is one of those guys you heard a thousand times not knowing who he is, the piano on Right here waiting is one of many. But in this song? No idea What he’s doing here.
where's Don?
bass player
David is the missing one!
I like Harry's singer (and dancing, and outfits) better than Sweet Pea. Too bad he only got one song. At least it's their best one.
not to be negative here - all props to Don Was - but there's another bassist in the back doing all the cool slap stuff - just sayin.....
Don't take drugs folks.... 😀
Underemrated moment
Umm.... Don Was is:
1) not playing the thumb-slap/ pop technique bass line that the original song is known for (he's playing finger style, really?)
2) not even playing the bass-line that is heard in THIS video! It's the OTHER bass player in the background (who IS popping and slapping)
3) Even in the ORIGINALvideo in the 80's, the bass-player (presumably him) wasn't playing the thumb-slap/pop bass-line that was heard being played. Probably some studio player on the actual sound track.
This makes him a LAME POSER...... How did he EVER become successful faking it like this. The answer is because the people buying the records didn't know and didn't care. Guys like me who worked there behinds off practicing from the age of 14 to master the instrument care though. It's the Milli Vanilli syndrome.
