Steve Miller Band, The - Bongo Bongo Lyrics

who is the actress here?

i wonder if his baby is related to the "Whirly Girl" in that song by OXO?

Such a feel good song.

That ain't workin', that's the way you do it... ;)

When youd spend a whole weekend night at home watching music videos.

What an absolutely strange video. I still own my cassette copy of this album.

Wait... were those chicks transvestites?

What an embarrassing sellout !

Not really... it didn't sell at all! Yet it is my favorite Steve Miller track, along with Macho City. Probably because I was 14 at the time.

Steve Miller could not think about this song with anything but total despair and embarrassment.

80s are pantyhose hmmm

por fin lo encontre... genial.

I don't wanna leave the Congo- shit, wrong song.

Seriously? Well, I was going to awkwardly say "me too!", but nevermind! :D

On a related note, is she the same girl that appears on the Tommy Tutone "Get Around Girl" video?

And/or "Naughty Naughty" by John Parr

trog1212 that is my sister Deborah and yeah she was in get around girl and also had a smaller part in hard habit to break by Chicago

I think we just found out what Bellatrix Lestrange was doing, 20 years before Harry Potter, when she was in a good mood.

PT thank you for this great upload

Thats why I cant stand the 90s. Because if it wasnt for the 90s it would still be the 80s.

80s fashions need to come back

This is why I love the 80"s.

FUCK the jumpin' the shark reference, this is such a fun song!!! I love Italian X-Rays!!!!

I triple dog dare Steve Miller to play this as his encore song instead of "The Joker" at any future concert.

If any classic rock 70s band had a "jump-the-shark" moment in their career, this song would be it for the Steve Miller Band. Yikes!

"Abracadabra" somehow got him there, as that proved to be his last hit that put him at the top of the charts.

I do believe I could just watch her all day long...AMAZING!!!

I've always loved this song, and the video is so cool! <3

if only today was like those times

I love how Steve Miller always keeps pace with whatever's new out there, but still keeps his unique style.

....Steve was in the video for 9 seconds...

The song is a guilty pleasure, but the music video blows.

Seriously cute. A buddy of mine pointed this song out to me shortly after it came out and I never quite forgot it.
Awsome lead dancer!

Thank you! I have been looking for this song for months. I always loved the song AND the video (wow! she is so smokin' hot! I wonder who she is and where she is now?)

The computer graphics were state of the art, even before Dire Straits' Money for Nothing.

Thank you, thank you!
Now to find where to buy the song/CD..

Walt Dittrich That’s my sister Deborah, she gave up show biz a long time ago, she is now happily married, two grown kids, she’s a health care professional in NYC.

@eggman989 I knew Deborah for a short time back then when she was going out with Nate of The Mums. Please say hello from Craig. It's been forever. She probably doesn't even remember me. A talented dancer/model..etc.

I remember spending couple of nights taping videos from MUSIC BOX in hotel room while I was on vacation with my parents in Australia.They were playing nothing else,just videos one after another with commercials after every 3rd.Pause,record,stop if you do not like the song,rewind,find the end of previous,pause... and I ended up with 3 hour tape of videos,a gold bar for a boy from communist Yugoslavia with only 2 tv channels. And yes,I did have the crush on the girl.Only reason I looked it up now.

I haven't seen or heard that since it first came out. Thanks for the memories!

I think the only time I ever heard this song was when I saw the video while at a friend's house, probably around the same time you saw it. I don't know what was wrong with me. I have no memory of the dancing girl, or any of the live action stuff. The only thing that stuck with me was the animated character at the beginning, and the "b-b-b-bongo bongo" lyric.

Had never heard this one. First I had a feeling of totall rejection, but giving it a chance and listen to it several times, openminded, I came to the conclusion that it is a good song, reily 80ties, just not what I was used of or expected from Steve Miller, but hey, that made it even more interesting

Wheee! :)

I remember watching this video on USA Network's "Night Flight" along about 1983 or so and having the most massive crush on the dancin' girl.

As much as I've loved Steve Miller's music over the years, and I've owned every album at one time or another except for "Wide River", I must sadly say "Bongo Bongo" is possibly Miller's worst song, or at least, worst single.

Every artist will make a mistake, but this is monstrous, hideous...embarrassing.

This video has been played to death on the first British musicvideo satelite station MUSIC BOX in the early eighties.
