Malcolm Mclaren Presents Double Dutch.wmv

Oh for the return of these happy , carefree days! I remember begging my mum to let me watch 'Top of the Pops' just to see the premier of this video. 😂 I was in my teens at the time. I wish i could revisit those days... 😊

The music was corny, the singing was corny, the music vids were corny, the skipping was corny but the women got fit as ***k!
No man ever complained about his g/f / wife spending hours doing the double dutch!

41 years on, it's still as fresh as in '83.

I was 61 2 days ago and I remember this as it was only yesterday. Happy days then.

I love watching this video. I was one of those girls years ago. I’m now 81 years young. I have seven Guinness world records for the oldest competitive rope skipper in the world. Google me . I still love the double Dutch this video brought back a lot of memories. thank you for sharing . I just wrote a kid jumping rope Book. It’s a story of me when I was that age and shy didn’t have friends until I started jumping rope. You can pre-order now it’s called Beverly Hills jump rope queen . On Amazon ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Aboriginal Aussie girls.

My mom did this magic in ALaska in a long wool skirt 40s.

I'm old enough to remember when this came out... I was 23... not 65! So everyone who was my age then would be in their 60s...... such is life!

You must be so proud 👏 of your class 👏, from South London 👏

Hello there Malcome!

Ive not gone through 4K comments but I hope someone else spotted The Greatest learning steps at 6.01 ❤

This was "accused" of plagiarism as it sounds a lot like “PULENG – BOYOYO BOYS” 1975 it was “settled” out of court.

October 2024, and I'm still doing double dutch..😌

I recall reading a very sad story that Malcolm died from asbestosis - mesothelioma.

I remember this back in the dayTOP song ❤

DELIRIUM!!! This video is art, beauty in motion! Joy. Like these girls who are so cute, damn good and stylish l in the way they dance and in their 80s crew look. This is truly a pecious little diamond/ These are the symbols that today's little girls be inspired by.

I wonder how many hours those girls trained! They are so fast and flawless that not even a cyborg would be able to reach certain levels. And then so classy and stylish with those 80s crew outfits. Today's girls should look up to these as models. Passion, dedication, imagination, style that comes from street games as well as the steps of the hopscotch game. This is why what was in the 80s is indelible and iconic and what is born today is pompously baroque and volatile.

Ladies and gentlemen in the year of our LORD 2024 We are still in the presence of greatness.. RIP MALCOM MclLAREN AND KEITH HARRING ( ARTWORK )

I remember in the early 80s the girls were mad for this and if it rained the first puddle the effect was awesome kids nowadays...... exactly 😅

I’d love to be a guy in those 80s

A lot of memories in the beginning of 2000

Brilliant

Then came along critical race theorists to make us hate each other.

Total class. And hot as buttons. Thanks for that.

A rip off of an original African song. Protracted law case, shame on you Malcome.

I remember this song way back when and I'm 55 years old now. I always liked this track but don't think I really appreciated the talent of these incredible young women then - but, I really do now... Bless you all x

Wow lovely to remember. Music and . Also sadly how badly the people were treated bck then .. i was a Brixton ladd in 81.. my stepfather was Jamaican . God rest his soul . But without him and my experiences along with my WHITE family we wouldnt have loved each other as much as we did . .
I MISS THEM ALL . ❤❤❤
MINE TURN NEXT
WHOS GONNA MISS ME ?
IM NOT EXPECTING ANYBODY . UNLESS I CAN GET A PUPPY . ? ITS really odd to ask that but i really want to share the rest of my free days with a simple puppy . .im not elligable for a girlfriend so i want a puppy . 😮

Lovely song 🎶 and super lyrics sung in perfect harmony 🤗

so nostaligic. 90s kids of Ethiopia know what I am talking about.

Still loving this track 40 years later! ❤️

What are these lovely girls do today in 2024, I wonder

This was and still is just too good,,,love❤ the beat and rhythm.

Still good music to date.

Joyous

Not an ounce of fat on any of them, what went wrong

Hey, Ebonettes!

The hours and hours of practice that must have gone into training for this!

Can anyone explain to me why this rope skipping is called double Dutch? As I am from the Netherlands I'm curious to know.

I cannot think of a more uplifting song.

The worst single, ever

Prince you will never be forgotten

If you pass here, then visit also The Rock Steady Crew videos, Turbo that breaks on Kraftwerk Tour de France, and if you have time look at Excalibur story and movie. Karate Kid. Ben Stiller movies…

The girls are amazing, that's because 40 years ago people ate a proper diet including vegetables, not the fast food fat inducing garbage multinational c..p they have to suffer today.

Addictive viewing! Remember so clearly these vids from back in the day-what a TUNE

I remember my childhood time. Time is gone 😊😊

Paul Simon collab...??....?? ❤🎉 from friend of C McGlinn xx

Skipping and skateboarding are the way ahead for today's youth...? Both get you out and about and exercising and are actually FUN too.... X

It is what it is...

I was 22 when this came out. I loved it then, and I still love it now at 63!

I wishMalcom Mclaren created more music. He was so good. I miss those days so much. ❤
