This is probably my favorite Pointer Sisters song. How come I've never seen a music video for it until now???

BECAUSE IT'S HORRIBLE!!!!

I when they put their hand up in the air and do that "GRANDA MA" dance!!

Who the hell came up with that and told them it looked good.

LOVE THE SONG!!

I agree....GREAT song,cheesy video

Please! There were tons of horrible, cheesy videos released in the 80s. But, I do have to agree that this was probably the worst one that I've seen from The Pointer Sisters.

I always associate this song with Grand Theft Auto Vice City now .

The second I hear it I immediately think of driving around as Tommy Vercetti, on the sidewalk mowing down pedestrians.

You all know that there's another (and better) video of this song, right?

Never seen this before thanks for posting

Where do I start? The wardrobe is horrible and so is the hair and makeup. Where was the choreography? What were the record executives thinking? Ive never seen a Pointer Sisters video look like this. I love the song but I wouldnt want that released. It was pretty bad

The Bea Arthur outfit Ruth and Anita was wearing.

This song is the shit. Lol at the Bea Authur outfits!

I love this crap video, it's so innocent. The song is just perfect pop genius.

Describe it I've never seen any other video for this song.

I'd rather just watch their appearance on Soul Train They have better outfits on and seem much more enthusiastic.They're still doing that crazy 'hand-in-the-air' grandma dance,though....LOL

I love the video even though it is lame. They seem so bored.

To me they give off a vibe like they don't even like the song, like they just sang it because they were told to.

Yeah, June battled a long war with the bottle and drugs.

in Rick James' autobiography,he mentioned that the Pointer Sisters would visit him backstage from time to time,smoking on cocaine cigarettes

I wonder if Ruth or Anita write their autobiographies, would they mention that they used cocaine like this rather than just snort it. Some biographies get graphic when it comes to drug use I've noticed.

I don't know, because it's posted on here every few months. Great song, hilariously bad video!
