Why is this song the one that reminds people of the video but not sweet child o mine, especially since the latter of the two was the one being played for most of the video.
...and here you are projecting that trauma, that you chose to view, onto other people, in an attempt to alleviate it. You reap what you sow though.

Imagine your biggest hit single only being known as the background music in a torture/snuff video.
Edit: Yes it's been featured in films, commercials and TV shows. I'm referring to the comments below with thousands of upvotes who are referring to the video in question, not the aforementioned films, shows and commercials.
@@youjustlostthegame5042 All the comments here alluding to it say otherwise.
@@youjustlostthegame5042 I know, it just strikes me as rather disturbing that such an upbeat song is..."used" in such a terrible manner.
It's also in Shrek 2
I would be honored.
I don't even what the fuck you talking about.
I like how the dancers are so free and just naturally flopping around. It's very refreshing.
Yep!
I concur.
This was on a German tv show famous for dancers like this.
Yes, flopping is good, especially the one at 0:12, serious flopping capabilities!
and very sexy as well back then too ha

I don't know why I was just scared when I heard the victim's voice, so I watched it by listening to cool music 😁👍🏻
@@bbexe7 I’ve only watched videos and read comments about it, so let’s not dig any deeper.
I once saw a surgery , and fellow Mexican doctors were saving a man's life , the man was badly injured, to loosen up the mood they were playing this song. I love their passion to save lives, thank u.
Indeed, they were kind enough to liberate the man's fatty tissue from his body. And possibly an unneeded organ or two.
Pretty sure it was a face transplant, they were even pumping him with extra anaesthesia to numb the pain
@@trxp_raised2003 yuh but he was being very difficult, he should have shut up and not screaming when those kind souls were trying to help him.
Sweet child o mineee
@@holembac he cause them a lot of trouble but they manage to save his life
Everytime I listen to this music I reach for my face, but then I realize I don't have any hands. Really pumps me up with adrenaline.

How tf did you comment this?
Some of us would like to continue appreciating this song for the 80s memories that it brings back, if you don't mind.
WHAT? IT WAS MADE IN 1978 recorded in 79
Ikr this song is so nostalgic. I can feel the adrenaline in me whenever I listen to it
@@imaginenotbruh5205Don’t 💀
@@AMPProf Well if it was made then, then it lived into the 80's. People born in 1978 would have heard this song throughout 1980-1990 and that's when they would have remembered it.
@@AMPProfare you daft? It carried over into the 80s. Not like things stopped on Dec 31 1979.

Truly cutting edge
Mexico brought it back
I remember hearing my mexican neighbors blasting this once. They seem to have really good taste in music.
Sorry I'm not very bright, can you explain this joke to me? I have seen many similar comments and I don't understand 😂
@amberwaite2009 funkytown is a 2 minute and 50 second video of a Mexican cartel torture. The video starts off with a man who is still alive after having his face peeled off and hands cut off in a bloody mess on a white tiled floor. While the cartel is savagely torturing him you can hear music playing in the background like sweet child o mine, beat it, and funkytown. I recommend do not watch it if you are sensitive to gore as it is a really horrible video to watch.

I detested it at the time but compared to the utter bilge being served up as music at the moment it's bl00dy marvellous.

This is high school music for me, I remember skating to these at the roller rink.
Not quite as old as you, I was 10 at the time, but the song reminds me of those happier days for sure.
So did I, couldn't wait to get out on the floor when this song came on ❤❤❤ 🛼🛼🛼🛼

I WAS 14 YEARS OLD WHEN IT WAS RELEASED BACK IN 1980 AND I STILL LOVE ❤ 😍 IT
i was born in 1966 i remember that year some how the change from disco music to pop music
really it was an amazing time ..i will never forget when i was a teenager...
Me too! And I was 19 back in 1980.
Good memories!
I was 14 too. Great time!
We are the same age . First time ever I watch the video clip . Quite amazing clip, great choregraphy, great dancers.
Same, came for the song stayed for the shirts..😎😎
I was 12 had no freaken idea one was topless no videos back then neither did my parents 😂😂😂
This music is so good that my face is peeling off listening to it!
Tf bruh
WE BECOMING MEXICAN WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥
thos when you know the music is good it moves you
The pink pants with the wing flaps could take a moose out. ✊
Them shiny black pants never go out of style. 😂
Bad jokes aside, this song is so iconical. I remember watching Malcolm in the middle and Hal was training Malcolm to skate using this song. Nostalgia :)
Glad not only one to get flashbacks of that, brilliant 😂
The song may be iconic but the video is probably the worst thing I've ever seen on RUclips
META.. Hal embarrassing , now you old and well... Ohh Lolz
I also love the memes where there is like a spinning object with low quality music
Yeees! I remember this epsode.
The 80's is hands-on "magic!" I'm so fortunate to have experienced it at its height!🙏
Cool 😎
more like hands off magic

Reminds me of the time when I used to work in a restaurant cleaning tables late night and this was was on ❤
When I was a kid, this was played in every skating rink in America. I skated many left turns to this song 😆
Then Joan Jette came on and wed go in to speed skate session. Then couples skate with REO Speed Wagon.
Reminds me of the all night skate. This song was played for hours with the red, blue and purple lights.
I got excited as a kid skating to "Another One Bites the Dust."
I wonder if that has a double meaning
@@sarnobat2000 Yes. Lipps Inc. = lip sync. They hired two blonde ladies for the music video, the lead dancer lip synced the song.
As a person who hasn’t watched the video I am very glad I just watched an explanation vid
Its not even that bad
@@TheLastMando08 Depends how desensitised you are. Anyone can become desensitised, it's easy. Much harder to go the other way round from desensitised to sensitised.
@@TheLastMando08 I watched many gore videos myself, and have become desensitized to most of them.
I could not watch more than 20 seconds of that video. I'd rather cut off all my fingers from my right hand than watch that one more time.
@@ratave6472 I was very new to gore and yet i didnt feel much, in my experience the explaination vids i watched before when i was too scared to watch it were more distrubing than the vid itself
@@TheLastMando08 That makes you more desensitized than me. If imma be honest, I just cannot take torture videos like that. I prefer videos where people die rather than suffer. It's more bareable to watch for me.
Thank you for this blast from the past. 🙏
Forgot how popular the Princess Di look was back then. RIP lady Diana.❤❤

Classic 80's nostalgia. Thanks
For anyone who is wondering what we are talking about in the comments. We are talking about a video where a person was injected with some medicine to keep him alive for a long period of time, and that he was slowing getting his head cut off with a BOX CUTTER. Both his arms and legs were chopped off, and while was slowly getting his head sliced off, he can hear him screaming, but you won't be able to hear what his saying, because his whole entire face is cutt off, and was just his tonuge remaining. Every 4 seconds, he would be gagging on his own blood and slowly drowning. WHILE all this is happening, this funky town music video is being played in the background.
People who watched the video will instantly think of that whenever this song is played..
thats some twisted satanic crap for sure.
Dont forget sweet child of mine in the beginning

Brings back memories. I recall sitting there on a Sunday listening to the charts with a finger on the record button of the stereo to tape my favourite songs when they came on... I would also go out with a walkman style personal tape player (I couldn't afford a genuine walkman lol) and always carrying a pencil to 'rewind' the tapes to save on batteries 😊
Happy days indeed!

I've seen this clip for years and never understood why the program did not air the entire song since it was so huge
shyman99 Usually they don't record album versions of songs on these music programmes because they are long. They always select the shorter single versions so that they can add in more songs to any one programme and also to make programmes look equal and unifrom. I think this is the reason.
@@janath9118 - I wasn't referring to the album version. I'm referring to how they didn't air the entire single version of the song.
@@shyman99 Ah, now I understand what you mean. Didn't they air the entire single version of this song in this programme? Sorry, I didn't notice it. Was it cut short? I am surprised to hear such a thing happened, and that's a rude thing to do.
@@janath9118 - The video is only 2:45 seconds long and the single version is almost 4 minutes long.
