As a Pointer sister fan I grew up on The Pointer Sisters as a kid The Pointer Sisters music has always been a part of my life since 1984 and I have all the Pointer Sisters music on my mp3 player ❤👑❤👑❤👑❤👑 I love my queens😘😘😘😘
The wrong segment of the 80s at the wrong time. Great song now, just at the time Nu Shooz, Run DMC, and yes Aerosmith along side them were about to take over. A whole new world. Actually at this time, Mr Misters album Welcome to the Real World was owning it, and it's worth your attention now, just as it was then.
It just wasn't that great of a song. It was actually annoying to hear the long "Oooo-eeeee-wooo" part. This doesn't mean that they weren't great singers, but this song missed their mark.
@@DennisH1968 ....WHATTT!? I'm a sub to Husband / Husband, Stepsof2Foreingers, Leo&Feli, & Wyoruss (non-sub)! &, my fan knowledge can put you under the TABLE, if I think I know the 'Donna' you're talkin' 'BOUT! ; )
this is one of my all time favorite videos. I just love it! coulorful and full of energy. The Pointer Sisters deserve a lifetime award at the grammy's, american music awards and BET awards. even tho Ruth is the only original left in the group now, they rule!
What happened with Contact and its singles? They all should have been bigger hits on the charts. "Dare Me" should have made Top 5, "Freedom" should have reached the Top 10, "Twist My Arm" at least Top 20 and "Back In My Arms"...well, who knows. These were all great single choices. The stylist (s) used for the album, singles and videos ought to be commended. The sisters' look was so colorful, the hairstyles beautiful and unique for each sister, and spot on make-up and accessories.
Richard Perry had sold Planet Records by the time "Contact" hit the charts in 85. The girls were basically transferred to RCA, and the label placed them on the back burner. Sales of Hot Together, Anita's Love For What It Is, and Serious Slammin' dwindled with each of those albums.
The music is the best. However, technology and other things weren't always the best. Music and fashion is timeless you can listen to any kind of song any time but of course wear when it is really appropriate.
This awesome Pointer song is way out of line, I hear punk in it, lovin it!! The sisters always picked what they liked and sang and dance to it, created it.. They couldn't care less other people's lables.. Love you Pointer Sisters! I play lots of their music & albums when relaxing!! It most def energizes me :-)
This is a silly, fluffy, fun and bouncy 80s song that would be a fail with any other set of vocalists. But sung by TPS it makes the song enjoyable and infectious. I missed this one when it came out. But because I love the New Wave genre and I LOVE The Pointer Sisters I must say I like this one too.
...OH, I'm about to go OFF on a TANGENT!! ...bear with me ..THIS, was the 3rd single from the 'Contact' LP, and, even THEN, this was the most Kitchen-Sink "80's" video of ALL TIME! ...even in Spring 1986, I was SCREAMING, '....this is SO 80's'!!! 😅 (CONT.) ....Then, I was REALLY 'screaming', when it BOMBED! ...like, B-O-M-B-E-D!! You see, kids, POP Radio stations didn't want to play the song, because they thought it promoted domestic abuse!! ...like, they REALLY thought Anita was asking for her arm to be 'twisted'! ....RIDICULOUS! ...and, at the time it was released, Madonna released "Live To Tell"....that was IT, OVER! ...no hit for 'Twist My Arm'! ...BUT, I do take solace in watching Anita push Bobcat back down, while she's holding her note, at 2:13, Ruth jigglin' her boobs at 3:14, & June surfin' at 0:29!! ...ha-HAAA!! #JusticeforTwistMyArm
R.I.P. Anita. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. You and your sisters have been a part of the soundtrack to my life. You'll be greatly missed.❤💐

Rest In Paradise Anita Pointer.
Love it; love it!
First time ever seeing this video. WOW! Bobcat was only 23 years old here.
It was artsy, it was high energy, it was extreme, and a hell of a good time. It was the 1980's!
They always seemed to be having the most fun in their videos.
Love. U. Pointer. Sisters.
This may very well be my favorite Pointer Sisters video.
Beloved earworm song for me. Always wished it had received more airplay at time of release.
I didn't know the pointer sisters were so amazing until a few months ago.
Never understood why this track didn't chart higher - I have the extended version and it is slamming!
The wrong segment of the 80s at the wrong time. Great song now, just at the time Nu Shooz, Run DMC, and yes Aerosmith along side them were about to take over. A whole new world. Actually at this time, Mr Misters album Welcome to the Real World was owning it, and it's worth your attention now, just as it was then.
Yesss!! This song is still great.
You are luckily to have the extended version, Wow!
So true always had that feel good
It just wasn't that great of a song. It was actually annoying to hear the long "Oooo-eeeee-wooo" part. This doesn't mean that they weren't great singers, but this song missed their mark.
Besides the fact that I LOVE this song, I LOVE all the neon clothes and bright colors!!!!
....and BABY, even then, it was TOO MUCH when the video came out, in Spring '86! then, it BOMBED! ...read my post, I was there.... : (
RBS seems like we have a lot of music in common. I also follow a husband & husband. They are great guys
@@DennisH1968 ....WHATTT!? I'm a sub to Husband / Husband, Stepsof2Foreingers, Leo&Feli, & Wyoruss (non-sub)! &, my fan knowledge can put you under the TABLE, if I think I know the 'Donna' you're talkin' 'BOUT! ; )
And Bobcat 😁
and the hair styles !!!
One of My Favorites of The Pointer Sisters
Coolest music video by the pointer sisters, close to being my favourite, 'dare me' take the cake
I think this is my favorite Pointer Sister's song right now.
Their best video by far! They look great too! The whole thing is catchy and colorful! Thank you!
The colours are so beautiful
Yes
This song is AWESOME!
this is one of my all time favorite videos. I just love it! coulorful and full of energy. The Pointer Sisters deserve a lifetime award at the grammy's, american music awards and BET awards. even tho Ruth is the only original left in the group now, they rule!
Can’t take my eyes of these girls❤️❤️❤️
I love ❤️ this dong!
What a fun video and song! Love those days and The Pointers were at their best!
I have not seen this video in SO VERY LONG! I missed it! WOW! Still cool in 2018!
This was a FAB album showing off more growth in musical arrangements! "Only Sisters Can Do That" was thrilling as well
I have Love The Pointer Sisters since forever yet somehow I have never heard this song Until Now!?!?!? Love it!
Yeah me either....love it
It’s the first track on the CONTACT album. The follow up album to BREAK OUT.
OMG!! LOVE BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT!! HE was hilarious in all of the " Police Academy" films!!
I love love love these ladies.
God I love the 80s and these lady certainly give u everything ❤
Love. U. All. Jerry
This song was perfect for Mrs.Anita to sing the lead vocals. The Pointer Sisters can sing a song and they can make it their own 🎯💯.
What happened with Contact and its singles? They all should have been bigger hits on the charts. "Dare Me" should have made Top 5, "Freedom" should have reached the Top 10, "Twist My Arm" at least Top 20 and "Back In My Arms"...well, who knows. These were all great single choices. The stylist (s) used for the album, singles and videos ought to be commended. The sisters' look was so colorful, the hairstyles beautiful and unique for each sister, and spot on make-up and accessories.
It was a platinum selling album
Dare Me was Number 1
Richard Perry had sold Planet Records by the time "Contact" hit the charts in 85. The girls were basically transferred to RCA, and the label placed them on the back burner. Sales of Hot Together, Anita's Love For What It Is, and Serious Slammin' dwindled with each of those albums.
I agree with you very much the singles and parent Album should have charted higher.
@@agentsmithmememe Dare me went to number 11 on Billboard top 100. Number 1 on the dance chart
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!
This song is so damn catchy!
OowOoWooWoOwOO!
Just gorgeous
Super ‘80s!!! I really love the visuals and saturation of this music video that’s why I clicked 😉
I adore these 3 women (and Bonnie
OMG!!!! I love the 80's!!!! THE BEST ERA!!!
Cee Sykes yes!!!
The music is the best. However, technology and other things weren't always the best. Music and fashion is timeless you can listen to any kind of song any time but of course wear when it is really appropriate.
I love everything about this ❤
Good song to blast with the windows while driving to work 😉🤙
This awesome Pointer song is way out of line, I hear punk in it, lovin it!! The sisters always picked what they liked and sang and dance to it, created it.. They couldn't care less other people's lables.. Love you Pointer Sisters! I play lots of their music & albums when relaxing!! It most def energizes me :-)
More 80's than ANYTHING!!!
You don't have to TWIST MY ARM!! I'll hear this again and dance to it! LOLLL!
They can TWIST MY ARM anytime to dance to this!
Twist Your Arm follows perfectly after the last song Operator from the previous album Break Out.
Love it ❤
Super crazy. Super cool.
thanks. rip, all our 80's drag brethren. take care, all.
TOTALLY AWESOME 80s!
Wow Bobcat in the video... nice!!
Aeisha Johnson his quirkiness is perfect for this vid
Very good mami the pointer sister 🇺🇸♥️🇪🇸
It's almost 34 years since I've seen this video
GODLINGS!!!
This should be in a new Beverly Hills Cop film.
Love the pointer sisters!#2019
Why why why wasn't this a smash?
Anita is a divine goddess 🌸
RIP
RIP
Never knew they did this! Im here cuz of Kylie and Dannii Minogue duet from the 80s when they performed this song.
The girls a just ACE !
Love you all the way to Heaven Ms. Bonnie Pointer
No matter what song they’re singing or when. They are absolutely beautiful and sexy, Classy and talented. I missed them Ladies..!
I have the 45rpm single in it's original sleeve.
о боже!шедевр!все на танцы!
Such a fun ass song!
The LinnDrum and Oberheim DMX were heard in this song that got released in 1985.
Why do I keep thinking about Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? It's perfect for him!
This nice video reminds me dancing on the ceiling of Lionel Richie.
At the 2.19 mark the break it down part my mom still dances like ruth lol , yea i still dance like that too lol
2019???
This came out when I was born 💖
ADHD, we got this.
June💋
It's so ironic that wildman Bobcat Goldthwait is wearing the least dated clothes in this music video, lol.
If Whitney, Mariah can fo into the RRHOF, so should the Pointer Sisters. Beautiful, talented, fun songs, etc.
Guys in half-shirts - very 80s
Why can't I watch this at home in the U.S.? I have to travel to Canada to see it!
Three Tina Turner
80s
Cute!! 💕💕💕
imho "Contact" the album was the best of their 80s output, even more than "Break out"
I forgot about this one. Sucks the releases off this album didn't are as good as the previous one.
How has this Pointer Sisters channel merged into or changed its name to TSP Ultra Gaming?!
Right? What's that about?
Hot
Love that they had cute white guys in their video!
♥ ok I do mu best ♥

I am sure that was the Comedian who did the voice of Pain in Disney's Hercules. It's cool he had a cameo in This Pointer Sisters hit song music video.
Bobcat Goldthwatt he was in Police Academy and is now a director of great films.
That is fantastic. Always enjoyed his acting abilities. I will look up The films he directed. Thank you very mutch for that info.
Is June the super-skinny one in pink?
Yep, that's June!
With Bobcat Goldthwait (Police Academy 2,3,4): ruclips.net/video/4S58e9wkHeQ/видео.html
That “OOOoooH” line is so similar to Jem and the Holograms’ “Time is Running Out”. 😬
Yeah, came from a comment talking about it
*primer comentario hasta la eternidad jajajaja*
Am i the only one that thinks Bobcat is kinda cute?
