Run Dmc was integral for hip-hop AS WELL as hip hop, it was thanks to Rick Ruben no doubt, but they still got on stage with hip-hop gear and everything that rap embodied and still made music that naturally reflected rock and street culture, Run-Dmc was the greatest "rap and rock" group of all time.

The concert footage for this video was shot on June 9, 1988 at their show in Albany, Georgia. They performed the song twice, for the cameras. That's my skinny white elbow sticking in from the left side of the frame around the 3:36 mark. Opening acts that night included Public Enemy, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince and JJ Fad.

This video was filmed in Albany, GA when Run DMC was on tour and came to my hometown...I think it was 1985. I remember it like it was yesterday because there were umbrellas in the video as it had rained that day. I was at that concert, and it was dope!! Those were the good ole dayz...

Their songs are always so dope and hype, yet very clean, and full of energy and MEANING. We need lots more rap songs like this!

RUN DMC > GREATEST RAP GROUP TO EVER SELLOUT ARENAS & IT AIN'T EVEN CLOSE!!! I SAY YA HANDS DOWN!

Legendary oldschool Hip Hop will never die ! Greetings from Germany

Remember when me and a friend listened to this one in the 80's in a library with headphones... we had a blast! I like heavy metal but this was really new and funny!

I wonder how many people realize that this song was originally from way back in the 60s, written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees and performed by them back in 1967? The first line in the Run DMC version obviously was changed (“buggin’” wasn’t an expression in the’60s…)-but they credited Mike Nesmith in the songwriting credits).

I'm Norwegian, and my older brother introduced me to Run DMC when I was a little girl. Mary, Mary was my favorite. I didn't understand the lyrics, but I would play the song, rewind the tape, play the song again, over and over and over. Still have it somewhere, he never got it back. I always wonder how close I was to singing the words correctly. Anyone know if there were lyrics within the cover? I had just learned to read, so that would have helped me a little.

L E G E N D A R Y ! ! !

never seen this video before. That first part was great (funny). Great acting whoever that is. "Let's go, ladies. This is War!" Is that the guy who did the "Crazy Eddie" Ads? "His prices are INSAAAANE!"

"No Mary Mary, we's aerobicising!" - lol haven't thought about that phrase in 35 years.
