- I wanted to do a proper side-by-side of these two music videos, the work that went into recreating Go West's original is kinda crazy.
- Krátké a kreslené filmy
200,000 Views, great googily moogily - I'm happy people seem to dig this so much
"Great googily moogily"? A Jim Cornette on Ahmed Johnson reference?
Thanks for the upload, u did a great job.
Up to over half a million views now in 2019👍
Why are you happy? This is not yours, you just stole something from a creator and recive the credit. Any dumb ass can do that, like is this case. Create something please, stop stole from others!
😂
The lead singer is my brother and I’ve fancied Paul Rudd for years so this is very confusing for me 😂😂 he nailed the dad moves and receding hairline though and I just love everything about it
You're Peter Cox' Sister? That's awesome! I love Go West!
I was born in 1991 so I had never heard this song before it was on Fallon, but it’s been stuck in my head ever since lol. Tell your bro it’s an awesome song 😜.
Love GoWest!
Your brother needs to get an invite on and go see jimmy and paul and you never know you could tag along lol
That’s amazing. He has one of the best voices ever 😊
In Fallon and Rudd's defense -- it's pretty tough to find zebras and handstand-skilled elephants on short notice these days. 😂
and the pope :P
Well the pope is a very busy pope :)
@@ct0760 naw this new Pope actually calls up random strangers and asks how they are doing. Hes more active lol
That wasn't the real Pope...😅
I like to think that it was a deliberate decision to exclude them. I was surprised after watching the video that commenters didn't see it as an obvious exclusion.
I guess THIS is what AntMan was doing during Infinity War
Yes the quantum realm was a strange place indeed.
I was already very familiar with this song, but watching Paul's enthusiasm for it makes me like the song so much more now.
People gonna act like the Go West video wasnt fire back in the day
IDiggPattyMayonnaise Songs like these were always fire in general.
IDiggPattyMayonnaise Exactly!
bruh go west is fire today if you grew up during that time dont think i dont blar this song loud af when it comes on while im driving.
I didn’t think much of the video and it’s not My style of music but this is the one pop song from the 90’s that I loved.
This was the shit
Paul and Jimmy’s rendition was supposed to be a parody but it came out more like a homage. Good on them! Their version was incredible!
Exactly. I think all of their vids recreating 80’s music snow love, appreciation & homage.its so good!
80’s misic and fashion was epic. I lived it. Didnt seem weird at the time. It was fun. So this is FUN!
@deecohen1383 I think because it was going to be a parody they tried to push harder and exaggerate things more. in the end it ended up being just like a music video was back then, a little too over the top acting. They added more realism without realizing..😂
Too funny.. they really did it exactly like the video I didn't realize how close it was!
Not quite as good as the More Than Words remake but pretty damn awesome.
RedRose7997 I watched the original video after the Jimmy/Paul one & totally thought they digitally put themselves into the original too - they probably watched the video a million times to get it as close as they did!
Paul Rudd does have some experience with this sort of thing czcams.com/video/NnyLwupW-hA/video.html
So it's confirmed...I will watch anything with Paul Rudd in it 😍😍
Yep...totally agree...he's truly hilarious. The only thing he's ever done that I did not like was that movie...I forget the name....oh...Our Idiot Brother? I think that's what its called.
Me, too - he’s delicious🤤💝😍
Even if Jimmy"Talent Vampire" Fallon is there too....
Never heard of this song before today. Now I'm obsessed with it
Also check out their song Don't Look Down, Call Me, True Colours and We Close Our Eyes. All great tunes.
SpongeBobaFett me too
Check out this live performance if you haven't already. It's pretty good.
czcams.com/video/BGlRG44WSDc/video.html
I want to hear it from you is another great one!
Check out, Black - wonderful life, it’s a great song which you’ve probably heard of but didn’t know the name of :D
This is amazing! Thank you sooo much for making this. I had no idea how much effort Jimmy and Paul put into this.
It’s 2021, and I still need to hear this after every break up. Thanks team!
Uncanny - shame they couldn't get an elephant !
NPT Music or a zebra.
NPT Music or Pope John Paul....
@@freddietiphany what happened 1:45
I think they may have deliberately cut out the elephant because a lot of the stuff they had it doing in the original video (like the headstand) are now considered animal cruelty.
Wow. Incredible! This just proves Paul Rudd is a very underrated actor!
Paul is always EXTRA animated and enthused when he does these imitations of old music videos. HILARIOUS!
I guess live zoo animals were not in the budget
They wanted to but New York City has strict regulations about exotic animals within city limits.
or popes
I was thinking that lol
ZSandmann did you actually think that was the real pope?
Do I have to actually respond to this? No I didn't think that was Pope John Paul II, it was a joke...
Thanks for the side by side video. This was one of my fav songs when I was a kid, heard it on Pretty Woman at the theater omg I'm old lol
For sure. I originally just threw it together for myself but thought I couldn't be the only one that wanted to see it.
I have been waiting for this. Amazing! Thank you!
You know I used to watch pretty women and I couldn’t remember this song
prosariovv feeling your pain buddy😉
Louise lambert this is the backsound when Richard Gere broke up by the phone then got lost in Beverly Hills
Paul Rudd is awesome!!
Wasn't a fan of the group, but adored this song as a kid and loved the redo on Fallon. Thanks for doing this. The remake brought back good memories and you completed the circle
They just freekin' NAILED IT! SO Funny! I was cracking up as I watched their spoof - not even side by side - cuz I remember the original from back in the day! Huge fan of Go West! - so overlooked for their talent!
Great side by side
i was really hoping somebody would do this.. i have watched this spoof countless times. its like my favorite thing ever.
This side by side really shows how much work Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon put in to it make it look like the Go West video. Impressive!
I already loved this song long before I saw this parody. My fiancee and I laugh hysterically every time we watch this (yes, we've watched it more than once). We both like Paul Rudd, and I've been a fan of Fallon since his first season on SNL. Jimmy gets some major cred for his passion of re-creating everything perfectly - this was soooo well done!!!!!!
I LOVED GO WEST. GREAT SONNNNNG
OMG, Jimmy, Paul, THANK YOU for such a great flashback to Go West (and MTV in general). Rest assured, people, the video didn’t make any sense in 1990, either! And thanks Jorge, for putting these two classics side by side. (Dont miss the Pope!)
100,000 Views, wow - thanks everybody!
Jørgen Pedersen good shit!
69th like
Love what you did!! I seriously love this song! I haven't heard this song for more than 10 years and suddenly thought of it today! So searched for it and found the Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd one which I didn't even know they reenacted it!! And you putting it side by side was just awesome!! Kuddos! 👏👍
I almost made an appointment to go see my optometrist. I thought I was seeing double. The side-by-side comparison really makes you realize how much work and effort into the remake.
Now I’m going to look at some 80s R&B videos. Those were the days.
THANK YOU for the side-by-side, Jørgen Pedersen!! GREAT res!!
I am so thankful the video eschewed the live animals. You get a zillion internet points just for that, thank you so much!!!
I watch this and it makes me smile
thank you for finding the time to do this
Now. Seems as if Rudd is Fallon's #2 buddy behind Timberlake. Get all 3 of them to do a video together!
how about Blake Shelton?
And Will Smith
Thank you for making this!!
OMG! I have been living under a rock. Literally the first time I've seen Jimmy Fallon and Paul Rudd remaking old 80's music videos!
So unbelievable done. By far the best these two have done. Great song. Brings back the memories. 1990. Pretty Woman movie. Did not know this. Burt Reynolds was the original pick to see play lead.
Well done!! Thx for posting this! Jimmy and Paul nailed this!!!
One of my favorite songs of all time, and they play it so straight letting the natural comedy of the time come through. So perfect. And Paul Rudd has pipes!!
You did such a great job! Thanks for posting this!
Wow!!! Damn near as close as you can get!!! Perfection!! Love it!!!
I used to sing the one part "I'LL PRETEND MY SHIT'S NOT STINKIN'!!!"... I had issues. 😐
freddietiphany . Diet problems?
Never thought about that, now that's how I'll hear it in the future.
I heard this song in a grocery store and I thought that was the lyric!
wtf XD
That's ok. I have always sung the lyrics to 'Living On a Prayer' as "shitting on the stairs!"
The edit is gold!
OMG they should more of these!!!!
Thanx for your effort. You make my day!
Thank you so much for this! Peace and love! :)
It’s crazy how accurate they are with these. The Styx on was on point too!
this video is so special to me. it brought go west into my life. i adore them so much ❤
There's so much going on in the video, they did a great job recreating it. Looks like a headache to even approach.
Brilliant! Thanks Jorgen, I can find those 'missing scene' now.
we need more of these
Thank you, never heard this song before and now it´s stuck in my head cause I like this kind of songs XD
Terrific editing job. NIcely done!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting it. Paul rudd kills it lol..i didnt even recognize him.
greato80 lol me either I was like who tf is that? 😂
Tiffany Anna ...would never have guessed him if it didnt have his name in title lol..i thought original singers dancing was kinda funny..til i saw Rudds rendition 😂. Wonder what theyll come up with next?.maybe something from 90s
greato80 they did that Styx song ... It was funny af too ... I need to watch Fallon more... He's actually funny and a decent host
Tiffany Anna ...too much time on my hands song..i saw that one too, it was good. This one still better. Im not a big fan of fallon but id watch more of these with him n rudd lol.
I didn’t recognize him either - until he launched into his dance moves as in his Don’t Stop Me Now lip sync!
just so much fun to watch! can't help but smile
This is basically perfection! Thanks Jørgen Pedersen ! Paul Rudd can do everything!
Am 40 years old, live in Australia, heard this song tons of times in movies etc, yet never seen the clip until now! Bloody odd as lol
Paul Rudd really took this role seriously. His facial expressions and hip thrusts were hilarious
Nothing beats the part @1:38 where Jimmy/Long Haired Go West Guy just toss their hands in the air for a few frames when the trumpets/brass punch a line and then it goes to something else....so random and weird and wonderful!
Just found about this. Go West is my 80s fave so this has completely made my day.
Oh my gosh I remember this song, I was 5 then. That’s back when artist made an impression ❤❤❤ well done on the remake
this.......is the best thing ever i was a senior in high school in 90 and this was a great song then and now lol love it
Paul Rudd is unrecognizable in this 🙁
I was 9 years old when this came out. I still remember this song lol
Can’t. Stop. Watching.
me too
How am I just discovering these great videos.
First time seeing this and Fallon nails it. Very well done, totally enjoyable. A fan of Go West from the very beginning. I did see them live at Malibu's in 1984 at age 19. They were terrific. Thanks for posting.
I hope they continue to remake videos together. It's a great bit.
Paul Rudd is my favorite actor so it is really cool to see him doing my favorite song from my childhood ❤
Not sure why they made these videos but I’m glad they did
Aside from the missing animals, that was totally on point!! Nice Job you two!!! Wow😁
I just realized, after years of having watched the original video, they have all sorts of 'King' references. Never put two and two together before just now.
This was a great 90s song that still had that 80s sound to start with paul Rudd just elevated it to legend status.
jimmy needs to do this weekly with all the popular music vids from the 80's with famous guest stars it would be awesome plus he would bring some great music to the masses of kids who are use to craptastic overly auto tuned music of today ...he would be giving these kids a top notch musical education thats for sure ..or at the very least giving the 80's kids a great way to reminisce about their childhood ....great job jimmy and paul .keep them coming u ROCK!!!!!
Thanks man. I'm not a fan of Go West but Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon are awesome in their cover songs.
fuck you
I didn't know them by name, or see the video.................I mean, Paul Rudd's voice is much better??
Paul Rudd's voice better than Peter Cox? What are you smoking sir.
Or whoever's voice it is in their cover of it. Peter Cox's voice isn't particularly pleasant.
Thank you for this!
AWESOME. Thanks for making this. Rudd is chewing the scenery a little bit but overall an amazing duplication they did!!
Hilarious and awesome! thanks for this!!
made my day less sad... thank you.
2:43 Jimmy Fallon - Yeah, We're going to need an elephant for our next skit
Board of NBC - We're not paying for that!
Hahahahaha 😂 Fallon probably pointed to Conan getting the Bugatti and was like it's worth it
More like, "Yea, we're not gonna physically abuse an elephant to get a funny shot for a spoof video". I think it could have been funny with a person in an elephant outfit or something, but I think they wanted to literally point out the cruelty of the original act, so they left it all out to really highlight the issue and so people would ask "Why was the elephant not in it?" Some things, particularly animal cruelty, don't age well.
Circus elephants are expensive
Feel like people are kinda sleeping Rudd’s voice....
Jared Lutes right dude?! guys hittin those vibratos and falsettos n shit like its nbd
This is so close.. I need more
Why does the 2018 version looks more washed up then the 1990.
blazn0 difference of digital recording versus analog recording. Actually difficult to get video to look like the 90s now lol
It's made on a cheaper budget.
^
With a poopton more options to film and get everything together.
Have you heard of a question mark, it looks like this ?
The 1990s was washed up by default since they didnt have as good resolution then, so maybe they tried hard to recreate that?
Very cool. Good work
Love them both 👏👏
thank u 4 this
I like these videos! 😺
Watching this in 2020 is kind of weird... I wasn't a huge fan of the song in 1990, and I'm not now, but looking back at songs I listened to in my early teens (in the early 90s) is calling attention to how much time has passed.
OMG MY DAY IS MADE!
Sweet! I was wondering how close they got it. Thanks!
It would be awesome if you did one of these for the "Extreme - More than Words" remake too!
This does so much for my perfectionism. All the super intricate details that they make sure to include. Truly a tribute to the original, plus Paul Rudd is the King... hands down.
This was my favorite song as a kid in the 90s. Paul Rudd is my favorite actor❤
I hear this song four times a day working at Publix, and every time all I can see is Paul Rudd 😅
Hysterical .. love it !
Love that the filmstrip of Pretty Woman clips is mirrored by clips from JF & PR's re-creation of the "Too Much Time On My Hands" video.
This is BRILLIANT!
0:55
And I’ll tell myself I’m over you🎤🎶
As soon as I got this song outta my head!
Wow, did anyone catch that elephant doing the crane in the original video?! Impressive!
I can't explain how much i love this!
The Roots did a great job as well. Props to the props department.
