This is great. Would love to hear you play the whole song.

[PrankZabba]

Saw them live once. And I could not believe how loud they were in concert. The kind of live show you can feel in your body. It's the second loudest show I think I ever saw.

[melvis]

Simply fantastic but why so short? I think that a lot of people appreciate this fantastic version...please complete it!

[sammyc]

At 0:48 always loved that instrumental part of the original song video. So glad someone recognized it because its not in the other versions of the song

[padgc]

Nothing can beat the sounds of anologue synths 👌

[KnapfordMaster]

Maaaan the oberheim gets the sound of that main synth. Such a great sound.

[TheKitchenerLeslie]

Wow, I didn't realize how layered it was! Have an upvote!

Loved "men without hats" from the 80's and safety dance, had a 12" long mix of the song. I could get up, washed and dressed for work as a 16 year old before the song had finished. Now 39 years later 😭😭😭 looking back with fond memories 😝👍

[BboySalamon]

This combination of famous, vintage american and japanese synths sounds fantastic👍

[jamesbennett]

I cant believe how complex and layered that song is !!!! Crazy! 🤯🤯🤯

[davidstevens.rcademchine]

Oh my, this is really really good this one . . . Its not just you've got fantastic gear to play live with :) Its your knowledge of patch programming and sounds selection that defo sets you apart from other cover artists :) "Your defo one of YouTubes finests buddy"

Shame it's only one minute long. I was really getting into it.

[popstars]

Brilliant! this song was my whole life for a couple of years. They had a great medieval video too, the band were French Canadian

[thesuperframe]

Please play this at sets on the beach or slims something, I’ll be there for it, a full version would be amazing

[MikeKobb]

I keep coming back for the combination of that MultiMoog and that Oberheim. Man, they sound fabulous.

I've been on a decades long quest to find a recreation of The Safety Dance so I can sing the vocals and I've finally found it. Now what am I going to do with all my time.

[wolframokeefe]

There seriously needs to be more safety dancing in this world.

[soapbox]

Analog synths are on a league of their own. It's almost as if you can feel the music brushing up against you.

Great job. 👍

[AvitalShtap]

Oh please!!!! This needs a longer version. I can't stand making longer versions of my own videos so I understand the reluctance but this one is just such an incredibly groovy cover that I would love to see it with more of those instruments!

As somebody who has always wondered what the heck one is supposed to do with like 10 keyboards worth of synths this was both educational and magical. 🤩
