@@1stwonder788 Yes, this song is both sad and heartbreaking in what we live through - all of us, with no reservations. Michael Sembello's Maniac is one of the gates to understanding the mystery of life as we know it, to my firm belief. The fire of the truth projects through the Maniac, this is for sure.
I would rather go back and live in the 80s again. It’s crazy, when we were little we thought things in the future would be awesome like flying cars, but instead we evolved…backwards. But we gotta appreciate some of the things we have now *some*
@@eriv1974 If I had the choice, I would ditch everything I know and have now, just to go back for some happiness again. It was an innocent and exciting time. In the 80s, computing was still new and perceived as an arcane, black art only a select few understood; we felt part of an elite. In popular culture, space was the new frontier (remember the Shuttle?), and we looked to the stars, not the rainforest. 😉 So I agree with you... we've _devolved_, _degenerated_, etc... I've been working in research for 20+ years and have become jaded towards the tech surrounding me every minute of my life at home and at work. Granted, it has its merits for most of us, but I perceive it as more of a curse than a blessing. For instance, "The 'Net" was a pretty safe place in the early 90s when I first roamed it; it was populated by academics, professionals and military. Now it's a digital wasteland where Script Kiddies can hack your PC and hold your data for ransom, where sociopaths can poison kids' minds, and where kids can order guns. All with nary a consequence. TBH, I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore.
The dancer, the directing, the visual impact, the song; what an artistic masterpiece. Is it just me or are the arts dead in 2024? When's the last time you have seen something so beautiful and inspirational?
@@ThatGuyz82 I totally agree. I hate it. But, at least we can still appreciate the golden age of entertainment. My son is 19 and he agrees that the best music was before his time lol.
@@huhummmmmmm ok I'm open minded but then you need to provide some examples. Show me something new that impresses me, if you want. In this case it would have to be a movie with good music and dancing
I remember driving down 1 80 in California in my new car going nearly 100 mph and listening to this song. It made me want to become an actual maniac. Luckil,y I survived as did those around me. I am a grateful 72- year-old now who gives thanks for this wonderful music. God Bless !
My mom gave me as a gift for my 9th birthday in 1983 the soundtrack cassette of this movie I still keep it 41 years later, and Maniac song is my number 1 in my cardio workout routine. Missing the 80’s too much
Memories of my high school days when this movie came out in 1983. I was taking dance class and this movie was an Inspiration. Love the movie and this soundtrack.
Gracias a la vida nací en los 70s... Y pude crecer y vivir los 80s y su increíble música. Quisiera estar nuevamente en esa época y borrar completamente de mi cabeza la basura de hoy en día.
From a time when music production and engineering was solely in the hands of true professionals who really knew their tools and their role in the process.
I did not grow up in the 80’s but this song was sooo iconic that my drill sergeant forced our entire platoon to sing this at the top of our lungs in 2006 at Fort Benning Georgia. Gotta love the U.S. Army basic training. HOOAAHH! lol. That’s how famous this song is. Still relevant 20 years after. I will never forget that. We all joined in and loved it. Exercised our butts off at 6:30 in the morning. That’s what I think of now when I hear this song. 😂.
It is perfect for the song. Not particularly difficult and it could have been. But what was laid down fits perfect for this. I definitely would have over done it, considering the driving tempo. Sometimes less is more…. Yngwie: “What? You mean MORE is more, right?”
Yeah a life without social media mobile phones where people actually got up went out and had fun not sat at home surfing through your social media postings I miss the 80/90s
Loved this movie when it came out in theaters. I was in High School and that off the shoulder sweatshirt look Alex wore became ALL the rage around the world! Lol
You shouldnt be, doubt anyone who grew with the internet can live without it. I mean you have all the data in the palm of your hands. Phone that is both a camera, watch, and other crap apps provide u. What you should do is be greatful for what we have now since 40 years from now its the same story
I suppose yeah but the thing is i dont actually own a phone because i think they are a complete waste of time like if you need them to listen to music then buy an ipod or if you need to call people buy a flip phone the only real reason kids buy phones is so they can play on there “snapchat” and “tiktok” and i really dont like either of those apps so i would gladly go back to the 80s when these things weren’t around
The 80s were so much simpler. I was born in 1970. I wouldn't change my childhood for a single thing. It was an awesome time to grow up. We called each other on the phone and talked for hours. We played out in the streets until dinner time. I was learning how to program in BASIC. We actually talked to each other and saw each other regularly outside of school. We weren't addicted to a computer screen or phone. Nobody was sharing unauthorized photos of me on the internet. Lol. No one was obsessed with taking selfies. We lived the moment without tons of pictures. At my house, we didn't have cable. It was just what you got on the antenna. Maybe some things are the same for kids today but I feel like there was more creativity and interaction. This song was the first single I bought. I blasted it over and over on the record player.
As much as I love this old song, and video, it makes me feel my age. I remember wishing I was her age again when it came out, and I couldn't have been more than about 35. So long ago..... So many amazing songs!
Maniac" is a song from the 1983 film Flashdance that was written by Dennis Matkosky and its performer, Michael Sembello. The original idea for the song came to Matkosky while watching a news report on a serial killer, which inspired gruesome lyrics that he and Sembello expanded upon after finding a 1980 horror film with the same name. When Flashdance director Adrian Lyne grew attached to the demo of the song used during filming, his music supervisor Phil Ramone requested lyrics more appropriate for their story of a dancer and worked with Sembello to produce a new version for the soundtrack.
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night Lookin' for the fight of her life In the real-time world no one sees her at all They all say she's crazy Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart Changing movement into light She has danced into the danger zone When the dancer becomes the dance It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire On a wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac on the floor And she's dancing like she's never danced before On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see It's a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can't hold it You work all your life for that Moment in time, it could come or pass you by It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance If the hunger stays the night There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat Never stopping with her head against the wind She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know And she's dancing like she's never danced before It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire On a wire between will and what will be She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know) And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know And she's dancing like she's never danced before Maniac, maniac, I sure know And she's dancing like she's never danced before She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know) And she's dancing like she's never danced before
This song never fails to take me back to the early 80s and i was born in 85...such an amazing decade in everything from music to movies And more..damn i wish I was born just 10 yrs earlier
I'm that lucky guy born in '74. There was so much great stuff happening - new wave, Hip Hop & heavy metal were emerging, and the icons of the previous era - Hendrix, The Doors, Zeppelin, etc. - still loomed large - you could still get a firm grasp of the Rock & Roll and pop culture from decades past. And then movies like Gremlins and Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, the Rocky movies, all the well-known slasher films, TV shows like Knight Rider, the A-Team, Miami Vice, Mtv, Saturday morning cartoons, plus video games and arcades, Dungeons and Dragons, skateboarding and BMX... Man, any of those things were great in and out themselves, but to be a kid at that particular time and have it all resonate with you the way it only can when you're a kid? Let me tell you, it was exactly as great as you think it was.
@@jmcbastard9665 im sure It was but while I wish I was born 10-15 yrs earlier and sometimes earlier than that I can't deny that the 90s was an amazing time be a kid coming up with SNES & Genesis..Mortal Kombat,Street Fighter 2, some of the best Mario games ever,PS1 & N64 and some of the greatest games of all time,Pokemon, Digimon Saturday Morning cartoons were amazing and I count myself very lucky to be apart of pretty much the last generation to come up before the internet and cell phones were ubiquitous..when MTV and Bet actually played music videos, no social media and much more..the 90s was also an amazing time for movies and music too and toys man i mean is it just mean or does Christmas just not feel like Christmas anymore?..it hadn't got me since the 90s ..maybe it's cuz that's when I was a kid but I think it's more than that..i can't be the only one that feels that way

Funny, I hadn't listened to this in forever and I was just thinking about what a great solo it is , too. Not EVH tier or anything, but perfect for the song.
God I this brings back memories in year 8 when the tv series flash dance was on. Break dancing was the thing, the Rubix cube was thing. Coca Cola yo yo,s every kid had one doing walking dog tricks with them. Frizzbies we’re going off, someone was always playing cricket in there back yard or somewhere. Paper planes were the go. God they great days.
Haha, I definitely had a cricket set in the backyard for a time and a Duncan yo yo. Also those balsa wood airplanes, and every once in a while someone would get one of those big-ass Styrofoam planes with the 4ft wingspan
@@jmcbastard9665 are yes yes those bolsa planes were awesome. And the big winged polystyrene ones wow yeah they were cool. I also liked those Royal show planes. Tried to always go there every year and buy one.

Good times ... !!!!
Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night
Lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all
They all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart
Changing movement into light
She has danced into the danger zone
When the dancer becomes the dance
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-blue line of insanity is a place most never see
It's a hard-won place of mystery touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that
Moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push-shove world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold kinetic heat, struggling, stretching for the beat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know (I sure know)
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
1983 was just magical in every sense of the word. If there was 1 year I could go back to it would be 1983.

My dad says the same thing, he was the born in the same year as you and then my mum was born the year this song came out
I think this guitar solo in a synth-pop song has more balls than some of the guitar solos in a hard rock song 😀
Funny, I hadn't listened to this in forever and I was just thinking about what a great solo it is , too. Not EVH tier or anything, but perfect for the song.
It _is_ a great solo and would easily make a tune in itself. Gotta love that slide at the end.
Yo nací en 1982, y cuando chico tengo recuerdos de mis tíos escuchando música de los 80, así que me acuerdo de aquellos momentos , era maravilloso.
Musica irrepetible.maravillosa !!!!!!
God I this brings back memories in year 8 when the tv series flash dance was on. Break dancing was the thing, the Rubix cube was thing. Coca Cola yo yo,s every kid had one doing walking dog tricks with them. Frizzbies we’re going off, someone was always playing cricket in there back yard or somewhere. Paper planes were the go. God they great days.
Haha, I definitely had a cricket set in the backyard for a time and a Duncan yo yo. Also those balsa wood airplanes, and every once in a while someone would get one of those big-ass Styrofoam planes with the 4ft wingspan
@@jmcbastard9665 are yes yes those bolsa planes were awesome. And the big winged polystyrene ones wow yeah they were cool. I also liked those Royal show planes. Tried to always go there every year and buy one.
Well i was born in 65 i was 18 when this came out and i still love it 💞💞
Me too!!!! GREAT age to be born. Missed the hippy shit 60s got disco and stuff 70s, the magnificent 80s!!!!
