I'm not quite sure what to make of this.
Impressive for 79 I suppose.
He almost falls over at one point though. I wonder how long he had to lie down for afterwards.
And why does he live in a showroom for doors?

I reckon he's taken his cue from Macca and finally dumped the dye.

It's properly weird, isn't it? not like 'ooh fishy dishy Accrington Stanley' weird, but like this-shouldn't-really-exist-on-this-planet weird. The man is 80 years old in a few months for fuck's sake

Where did he almost fall over?

3:17.
I can't stop watching this for some reason.
There's also one where he sings this with Gary Barlow and he's considerably better than Barlow.

It's clear where Samuel T Herring got his moves from.

I've had to pause it several times to alert friends and loved ones to watch it! I thought the fall was 0:50, when he does a wee spin and nearly hits one of the doors.

Also, it's really freaking me out, but he looks uncannily like my flat mate, who I've been stuck in lockdown with. And finally it all makes sense. The dance moves, the hair, the everything! ... So that's adding an extra layer of bizarre for me.

(plus this song was number one when I was born)

How can you be 80 but also a twink

That too.

And that bit where he almost disappears behind one of the doors, and has to move it, and gives us a wee smile.

What's he playing at? A very odd man.

Inspector Norse

He keeps turning and looking at the doors and wanting to go through them but he forgets where he's going and there's no way out, he's trapped.
And singing about how we don't talk any more. Clearly a reference to the way he's lost in his own mind and memories.
A moving and brave work about aging and senility. 10/10

Poor old Sir Cliff a man lost in his room of doors, it's obviously a metaphor for homosexual repression or dementia. A national treasure, I lament

I've been resisting the obvious urge since the thread title to Smash Sir Cliff's Backdoors In. 🙃🤪

Closet doors.  It's all there.

SpiderChrist

I FUCKING HATE THAT CUNT

massive bereavement

I thought he'd teamed up with John Densmore and Robby Krieger, disappointed. Can just imagine Cliff belting out "Back Door Man".

PaulTMA

I like how he does the moves from the original video.  Probably been doing them in concert ever since

Muscle memory, does it in his sleep and Wimbledon centre court.

Because this is ALWAYS relevant on any Cliff thread, but especially if you want to know what's behind the doors:

SIR CLIFF LEADS US TO AN ADJOINING ROOM. "THIS IS THE PARLOUR WHERE I KEEP MY BRIDES," MUMBLES CLIFF, BEFORE QUICKLY SHUTTING THE DOOR. "I NEVER REMOVE THE PLASTIC," HE MUTTTERS, WHILE STARING INTENTLY AT OUR THROATS. "EVER."

Hahahaha.....Hahahahaha  absolutely superb

Did I ever tell you when I worked as a landscape gardener I helped install a land drain in Sir Cliif's back garden, it was at his Weybridge St. Georges Hill Mansion, massive it was. My boss didn't know whether to cash his cheque of keep it as a souvenir. Sir Cliff never made us tea or even a cold drink. The second day I was there Sue Barker turned up in an open top Audi.
