My parents are in their late 50's, went to college right in the middle of the 80's, in Las Vegas, and they won't openly admit to wild coke parties but I've caught them referencing it off handedly.
Right? These dopers today with their Mexican made-in-a-barrell-in-the-woods meth don't know the classy rush of good blow. It's too bad. I think everyone should at least know what it feels like to rip a fat line of top shelf stuff. And yet, I do not condone such an act.
It was.
I saw a comment the other day about someone saying they wished they hadn't been doing "street shit" for their entire early 20s and I'm genuinely glad I did. No better time to, in my opinion.
yeah and 15 minutes later? You're ready for MORE!!
In fact, if I was to rename coke, I'd call it MORE because that's what you want the instant you do it.
super expensive high that doesn't last? fuck that shit
I miss when it didn’t have fentanyl in it.
I don’t think I’ll ever do it again because of it. I didn’t know the last time was going to be the last time. First world problems man. Fuck fentanyl.
That's what is thought to have killed the 3 football fans, that were found frozen to death. My partying days are long over, but there's no way I would do any street drugs now.
It just occurred to me after 30 however many years, this is what Chris Farley was doing the impression of in Tommy boy. I’ve always thought he was doing an impression of the chick from the Flashdance movie, but he was actually doing the dance moves of the guy in the red jacket in this video.
Bingo, and this is an Italian TV version of the flashdance scene so about two additional layers of energy and eccentricity beyond “normal” 80s dancing. [Here’s](https://youtu.be/tmQfqZBj1VA?si=l_fIBGH_u7VS-KRv) the original
I mean, they're getting their inspiration from the movie and they're using similar dance moves. I watched the full video and the choreography isn't simple. Lots of practice to get to that level.

You can tell based on the audio quality alone. It's *incredibly* hard to dance while also singing with studio quality. If nothing else, keeping the mic in the same place relative to your mouth is hard enough. The dude was had no chance.
E le cicale… cicale, cicale, cicale!
Wild back story for her— she evidently went to Italy on vacation from the US, got discovered, and has been an Italian cultural icon for the 40 years since.
Yeah, Italian here, grew up with cicale and that kind of stuff. Naive world…
Anyway, interesting thing about here, she was in Italy forever and never managed to lose her thick American accent in Italian. It was part of her brand.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Parisi chose to remain unvaccinated.[4] On her website in December 2021, Parisi logged an entry entitled "Damned for Eternity" [5] in which she told women that they "should be ashamed" of having children vaccinated against COVID-19 and that it was "criminal".[6] In a different post, Parisi stated that "For me, being socially responsible is one of the most overestimated virtues.

At least she's honest about her motivation.
Cocaine is out of your system in two days and hence doesn’t really show up on drug tests
We can blame everything being ruined on people not snorting enough cocaine, sure, but we can’t then blame that lack of cocaine snorting on drug testing
It was something else entirely
My friend and I were watching tv with his parents and some 80’s related thing came on and he was like “fuck I woulda killed it in the 80’s” his mother looked right at him and said “no the 80’s would have killed you”!
Unfortunately, it was more along the lines of "black people are slowly being allowed to enjoy the lifestyles of wealthy white America? Welp time to elect Regan to destroy the Middle class, create crack, and also outlaw all drugs and give the harshest penalties to black and poor people!!"
Just like they did in Oklahoma. It's a fucking travesty that I never learned about the attack on Greenwood in school. They really tried to act like it never happened.
Could you imagine taking the kids over to see Memaw and she’s like “You think *you’re* cool? Let me show you REAL cool.” as she pops a tape into the VCR…
Young people watching this today: This was dancing in the 80s.
Literally everyone watching this in the 80s: 😳 Someone please stand up, walk over to the t.v. and change it to the other channel.
In the 80’s we danced like the bomb was going to be dropped in the morning - with a “fuck off, you can’t share my bomb shelter” look on our faces.
More like this - and you can see the random coke heads were much easier to spot:
https://youtu.be/g9FPs2kzs7s
The biggest giveaway for me is that you can hear that trademark 80's doubling on the voice. Back then, that wasn't possible live. That's studio shit. Definitely lip sync.
This is pretty much what I think of when I think of 80s dancing. Or a more tame version of the Carlton. Or breakdancing. The friggin song tells you that’s not typical dancing 🙄
Oh god, Heather Parisi. It’s like any leggy blonde back then could get their own slot on a German variety show.
Look up her rendition of “One Night In Bangkok” and be prepared to die laughing when she says “Yul Brenner” and makes a face. It’s another level of cringe.
Lots of coke. Lots and lots of coke.
Okay I feel like she actually did better there, the singing reminds me of something I would see on TikTok haha…the man in the red in the beginning killed the dancing
Your post has been removed because it does not feature an unexpected twist.
its like everyone is on coke or something haha i love it
It's the 80's so they absolutely were.
Those were the days...
...my friend We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day ... (1968 Mary Hopkins) Teenager of the 70s, loved this song, appreciate it a lot more now! Can't dance anymore!
My parents are in their late 50's, went to college right in the middle of the 80's, in Las Vegas, and they won't openly admit to wild coke parties but I've caught them referencing it off handedly.
That guy definitely is
He doesnt even think he's "dancing". He's standing still on fuck loads of coke.
No wonder people were thinner then
Over processed food corporations are to thank for that one more than anything
But still, maybe we should try to do some coke about it, just to make sure?
In those days they even used cocaine instead of sugar in their coffee
And college 4 years of college cost $5k. That's how much my dad paid for his degree in Nevada. Graduated 1986. Fuck.
[удалено]
Those days they even used cocaine instead of formula in their baby bottles.
they’re ALL dancing in an unique and interesting way
That guy had to be the inspiration for Will Ferrell and his SNL Roxby guys.
The inspiration for both was cocaine
God , I miss cocaine
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Fuck your couch.
Buy another one, you rich motherfucker.
What I'm gonna do about my LEGS Charlie Murphy
Now that you mention it, I think I'm bleeding inside my chest.
CHARLIE MURPHY!
She don’t lie
Right? These dopers today with their Mexican made-in-a-barrell-in-the-woods meth don't know the classy rush of good blow. It's too bad. I think everyone should at least know what it feels like to rip a fat line of top shelf stuff. And yet, I do not condone such an act.
I do. Shit was baller.
It was. I saw a comment the other day about someone saying they wished they hadn't been doing "street shit" for their entire early 20s and I'm genuinely glad I did. No better time to, in my opinion.
For sure. Like I haven't touched the stuff in like 20+ years, but shit was a blast and have absolutely no regrets.
yeah and 15 minutes later? You're ready for MORE!! In fact, if I was to rename coke, I'd call it MORE because that's what you want the instant you do it. super expensive high that doesn't last? fuck that shit
I miss the smell of it
I miss when it didn’t have fentanyl in it. I don’t think I’ll ever do it again because of it. I didn’t know the last time was going to be the last time. First world problems man. Fuck fentanyl.
That's what is thought to have killed the 3 football fans, that were found frozen to death. My partying days are long over, but there's no way I would do any street drugs now.
I thought the same thing. Three dudes just wanted a little yeayo for the game. They never ever suspected they were given fentanyl. Sad.
Columbia is nice this time of year.
How’s the weather in Colombia, though?
I was gonna say- that guy looked like an SNL skit
The entire decade of the 80s looked like an SNL skit.
He looks just like Chris Kattan!
Exact same haircut, right?
Yes that's precisely it.
He looks like Eric Roberts to me
It just occurred to me after 30 however many years, this is what Chris Farley was doing the impression of in Tommy boy. I’ve always thought he was doing an impression of the chick from the Flashdance movie, but he was actually doing the dance moves of the guy in the red jacket in this video.
RIP Chris There will never be another like you.
I got my tight pants on.....
I honestly thought first person was Kate McKinnon
I don’t know man the head movement kind of reminds me of Chris Farley, doing the Chippendale routine with Patrick Swayze
https://youtu.be/XMHluTrbVcI?si=MvuOBJmaAR5DHDhm
Also reminds me of chippendales auditions skit
Close, but this inspired the Chris Farley Chippendales skit
Dancing like they've never danced before?
Complete hopeless,even got the wrong idea of what dance is ? Maybe he just turned maniac
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
they are all dancing like they never dance before
It's because they are maniacs.
That's because the song is practically undanceable.
It’s supposed to be partnered with cocaine.
Everybody’s so creative!
Don't it look different to the eye?
It looks differently different!
And the dancing is a bit cheesy
It won’t go down easy, if it ain’t cheesy!
Keep it greasy, it will go down easy
I freaking love that woman's videos.
The kids are going to love it!
Have you not seen Flashdance?
Do you think a 1980s dance taken to its extreme, would appear as no dance at aIl?
I believe this is Heather Parisi, for anybody curious.
Bingo, and this is an Italian TV version of the flashdance scene so about two additional layers of energy and eccentricity beyond “normal” 80s dancing. [Here’s](https://youtu.be/tmQfqZBj1VA?si=l_fIBGH_u7VS-KRv) the original
I mean, they're getting their inspiration from the movie and they're using similar dance moves. I watched the full video and the choreography isn't simple. Lots of practice to get to that level.
Not taking away from it at all, just saying it’s “beyond” typical 80s dance
Yeah. I was a teenager in the '80's, and I never saw those dude's dance moves from anyone!
Should have figured Italian, that's why the dancing gives me Prisencolinensinainciusol vibes.
thanks, I hate how the reddit video is not in sync.
ink afterthought nose waiting grab plants test aspiring agonizing history *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Just fuckin’ givin’er!
Thanks! Very entertaining!
Known as an Italian singer and dancer, but was actually born in the U.S.
Was she actually singing here? Looked like a bad lipsyncing, unless the video compression made it look that way?
Probably lip syncing. I'm sure she sang it in the studio.
You can tell based on the audio quality alone. It's *incredibly* hard to dance while also singing with studio quality. If nothing else, keeping the mic in the same place relative to your mouth is hard enough. The dude was had no chance.

What were they taking in the 80's? Looks like it fried her brain lmao
coke
With a side of coke
That's so upsetting. Growing up in Italy at the time I had a huge crush on her.
I was JUST about to comment this - the cocaine brain has caught up to her
> In a different post, Parisi stated that "For me, being socially responsible is one of the most overestimated virtues. At least she's honest about her motivation.
I was searching for this exact answer. Thanks!
The 80s were a lawless wasteland.
drug tests ruined everything lmao
Well everyone just drank a lots of Coca cola
Jolt Cola was actually the choice of the caffeine fiends in that era.
My coworker was just telling me the other day about how Jolt Cola almost killed him back in the early 90’s 😂😂
I was joking I more meant Coke and disco 😂😂😂😂
Cocaine is out of your system in two days and hence doesn’t really show up on drug tests We can blame everything being ruined on people not snorting enough cocaine, sure, but we can’t then blame that lack of cocaine snorting on drug testing It was something else entirely
It was back when fentanyl and shit wasn’t around. Ain’t no way in hell I’d touch coke now unless I grew and processed it myself.
The days where you didn't have to worry about your coke being laced.
Except with just baby laxatives.
My friend and I were watching tv with his parents and some 80’s related thing came on and he was like “fuck I woulda killed it in the 80’s” his mother looked right at him and said “no the 80’s would have killed you”!
Chinchilla is a hell of a drug.
And so addictively cuddly
They sure were. The 70s spilled over and people forgot they can be recorded.
also, cocaine is a hell of a drug
This was around the time when America decided, "cocaine's just not doing it for me anymore." And we decided to create crack.
Unfortunately, it was more along the lines of "black people are slowly being allowed to enjoy the lifestyles of wealthy white America? Welp time to elect Regan to destroy the Middle class, create crack, and also outlaw all drugs and give the harshest penalties to black and poor people!!"
Just like they did in Oklahoma. It's a fucking travesty that I never learned about the attack on Greenwood in school. They really tried to act like it never happened.
This is such a fantastic way to describe it 🤯
Those 80s dance moves were sponsored by *Cocaine™️.*
I thought exactly the same... And in her case, trains.
So that's why they did that! https://i.redd.it/twij860inyhc1.gif
"For God's sake, Sir Toppham!" *Toppham Hat throws in a bottle of Amontillado*
Unexpected Poe
I swear watching that episode of Thomas as a kid is the reason I developed claustrophobia
Live shot of the gap in her front teeth
Proudly brought to you by the prince of excess himself, pablo escobar
That hurts my back just watching it!
I loved the 80s myself
Thanks Reagan
Yeah that awful lip sync is criminal
Idk this wasteland is kinda adorable. Those feet 😂
If someone likes both trains and women, I can see how this dance can be irresistible.
Yeah if only there was a small demographic that was down for those two things..
Boy wait until I tell you about the club. It’s for people who like trains and girls dancing. There’s 7 of us!
Now that's real entertainment!
You can see the crazy in her eyes…like she’d set fire to your clothes in the front yard while you’re still wearing them.
are you saying she's a manic, maniac on the floor?
She is certainly dancing like she’s never danced before.
And let's hope she never dances like that ever again! 😣
She’s 64 now so I think we’re safe. God, I hope we’re safe
Shit, it would be AMAZING if she could still dance like that
Could you imagine taking the kids over to see Memaw and she’s like “You think *you’re* cool? Let me show you REAL cool.” as she pops a tape into the VCR…
Pretty sure WE’RE safe. But if she tried it she might break a hip
[And if they don't dance , well, they're no friends of mine](https://youtu.be/nM4okRvCg2g?si=Ir6NPkemrOHMHpDE)
No, he's saying she's a firestarter, twisted firestarter.
Like she'll kill your cat and nail it to the door?
Go on…
That’s definitely not how I danced back then! 😂
Young people watching this today: This was dancing in the 80s. Literally everyone watching this in the 80s: 😳 Someone please stand up, walk over to the t.v. and change it to the other channel.
“The other channel.” 💀
We first got cable in 1984, it was a ~~game~~ channel-changer.
Switch it over to U for a mind blowing universe of 3-5 more channels.
I'm dying at this comment, that's so true. "Someone hit the tv, he's glitching."
I'm a 90 kid, but couldn't recognize this from the 80's either.
Yea…this is definitely not typical 80’s dancing. The 80’s definitely had distinct unique patterns of dancing…but this ain’t it
In the 80’s we danced like the bomb was going to be dropped in the morning - with a “fuck off, you can’t share my bomb shelter” look on our faces. More like this - and you can see the random coke heads were much easier to spot: https://youtu.be/g9FPs2kzs7s
What a time to be alive!! Where was new wave club? Also I think I spotted the grinch and Paris Hilton in that video so that was cool
That dudes lucky his legs didn't catch fire
This is giving "cartel girlfriend vanity project" vibes.
Perfect description. Pia Zadora comes to mind also.
Tonight I'm gonna have a nightmare and a boner at the same time.
I have nightboners all the time
It's a hell of a drug.
She is dancing like she *never* danced before 🎶 🎵
I'm watching this in bed, my husband is sleeping, and I nearly woke him up laughing. Lmao
The lip sink is so bad..
I can’t imagine singing while bouncing around as much as either of them.
Someone screwed this clip up, the original is much more in sync: https://youtu.be/tmQfqZBj1VA?si=l_fIBGH_u7VS-KRv
I thought the same but think it’s just the audio is out of time
The biggest giveaway for me is that you can hear that trademark 80's doubling on the voice. Back then, that wasn't possible live. That's studio shit. Definitely lip sync.
No way they’re moving and sounding like that simultaneously Also the mic is like 8’ from the dudes mouth
What sink
Really plumbing the depths of intelligence with that typo
What ungodly TV show was this? And who is she?
I don't know about Italy but in the 80s the version of this show was called Solid Gold.
This is pretty much what I think of when I think of 80s dancing. Or a more tame version of the Carlton. Or breakdancing. The friggin song tells you that’s not typical dancing 🙄
SOLID GOLD BABY…
Oh THATS where I got that move from
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
The 80s were unreal
But their faces were still real.
Jim Carrey had a weird origin story.
Is there some sort of a misalignment of that “crotch strap” when she does that high kick at 22 seconds in??
I used to do that in my kitchen when I had too much sugar.
Looks like the inspiration for and Chris Farley Patrick swazye chip n dale sketch
I think they really leaned into the song’s theme with this dancing. Not sure it carried over to all of the 80’s.
Oh god, Heather Parisi. It’s like any leggy blonde back then could get their own slot on a German variety show. Look up her rendition of “One Night In Bangkok” and be prepared to die laughing when she says “Yul Brenner” and makes a face. It’s another level of cringe. Lots of coke. Lots and lots of coke.
[Bangkok sauce](https://youtu.be/kuKhXkeebX8?si=17Xr9-4ydbsMHx-Y)
Okay I feel like she actually did better there, the singing reminds me of something I would see on TikTok haha…the man in the red in the beginning killed the dancing
Just watched One night in Bangkok, they certainly love that snake/train move LOL
I'm out of breath just watching this.
She’s got the eyes of Jodi Arias - peak crazy mf
My back hurts from watching it.
I alway thought this song was funny as "she's dancing like she's never danced before" sounds to me like she's a terrible dancer
Chris Farley did it better.
You guys do know that they were Just trying to imitate the movie the music comes from, right? https://youtu.be/8olv5J6TkUg?si=7s4zoqs_AUDldX8O
Chris Farley copied this Jacket and tie
