That’s right. I said it. You don’t even have to do it ironically to enjoy these guys. Well, yeah, maybe you do, but they’re still awesome. I just find it amazing that they’re still out there doing their thing.
So this is the original 1976 video. Pretty basic. The dude’s pretty calm. Horrible and unsynced choreography, but you can see how they really polished it up and kicked it up a notch for this next one.
This is the 1986 re-recorded version. Whoa! Unison! Crazy shirtless dude going crazy and shirtless! How can you not love this?! I mean seriously, I think the only way to respond to having seen this video would be this:
I mean, really, can you dig it?
So here we’ve fast fowarded to 2005. These guys are still doing their thing! Crazy shirtless dude is still shirtless and crazy, and old now too! Bonus!
So here the dude waxes philosophical in front of a crowd of Italians who just don’t understand English, or maybe the BS he was spitting out was just too crazy for them? Either way, this is clearly a rather weak performance. The vocal quality has obviously gone down, and he’s starting improvising a lot too. Hrmm… I wonder where this leads?
New dancer! Sadly, his craziness is obviously affected, and his shirtlessness falls flat. His vocals also do poorly, even compared to the other guy when he got old. Sad.
Anyway, that’s your lesson in the awesomeness of yesteryear, kids.
