​@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..😂

Weird Al does parodies. A parody would involve someone doing something slightly different ----- wearing a silly hat, falling down while dancing, being a fat person instead of a skinny person, etc. Weird Al would have had one of the dancing girls fall down, or have the girl walking over to the limo open the front door "accidently", and then quickly shut it and open the back door. If all you are doing is recreating the same music video, then you are doing an homage. What Fallon does is still humorous simply because he is recreating some of the "most 80s" music videos, but these are still NOT parodies.

Great side by side

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

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!!!!!!

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! 👏👍

It’s crazy how accurate they are with these. The Styx on was on point too!

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.

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!!

thank you for finding the time to do this

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.

This is basically perfection! Thanks Jørgen Pedersen ! Paul Rudd can do everything!

Well done!! Thx for posting this! Jimmy and Paul nailed this!!!

I was 9 years old when this came out. I still remember this song lol

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.

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.

Love them both 👏👏

Hilarious and awesome! thanks for this!!

I hear this song four times a day working at Publix, and every time all I can see is Paul Rudd 😅

Circus elephants are expensive

I am so thankful the video eschewed the live animals. You get a zillion internet points just for that, thank you so much!!!

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!!!!!

Okay I know this is hysterical but even Paul Rudd has a signature move. You can see it clearly. Even though he's trying to copy the go west singer, his own personality is shining through. This was a good trip. Glad I watched it

How am I just discovering these great videos.

Paul is more intense n expressive than the actual singer lol

Aside from the missing animals, that was totally on point!! Nice Job you two!!! Wow😁

Thank you for this!!!!

I hope they continue to remake videos together. It's a great bit.

As soon as I got this song outta my head!

AWESOME. Thanks for making this. Rudd is chewing the scenery a little bit but overall an amazing duplication they did!!

This is so close.. I need more

This is incredible!

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.

this video is so special to me. it brought go west into my life. i adore them so much ❤

Wow, did anyone catch that elephant doing the crane in the original video?! Impressive!

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!

Oh my gosh I remember this song, I was 5 then. That’s back when artist made an impression ❤❤❤ well done on the remake

thank u 4 this

This is one of the greatest things my eyes have ever perceived... And I have been at the birth of both of my daughters... I love the way Paul Rudd moves... He makes me belly laugh spontaneously & uncontrollably... This music video triggers so many memories from my youth... And they nail it so hard... I love this so much... 😍🤓

OMG MY DAY IS MADE!
