Boys Don't Cry "I Wanna Be a Cowboy"

Re-watching this video made me realize that I really don’t know crap about music. I’m just a sucker for the weird. I loved this song, because it was different. I wanted to know this Ted who fights off danger. And I think the video gives us a good picture of T to the Ed. He wants to be a Cowboy, but, only while sitting in the bathtub smoking. I wish BDC made more music featuring this Ted character. Who does he want to be while sitting in church…or while watching golf on TV…or while waiting in line at the DMV? For now, we’ll have to settle for knowing that his name is Ted, and one day, he’ll be dead, yo, yo, yo…

Night Ranger "Sentimental Street"

Either J.J. Abrams created LOST after watching this video or the boys from Night Ranger are the Others. I didn’t really understand this song before I saw this video and now I’m even more confused. “Sentimental street in the avenues”…is that a play on words or just really bad writing? “The same two steps that I taught you back in June…did you get your fill did you think you had to pay”. I want to say bad writing, but I guess I’ll leave it...up...to you-oo-oo…

Ray Parker Jr. "Ghostbusters"

“Let me tell you something…busting makes me feel good.” This is one of those songs that brings back the same memory every time. It was on the radio every day driving to and from basketball camp in the summer of 84. As soon as my buddies and I heard the song start, the windows went down in one of our mom’s station wagons and we repeatedly screamed, “GHOSTBUSTERS!!!” just like the A-listers in this video…Irene Cara, George Wendt, Al Franken, Terri Garr, Melissa Gilbert, Peter Falk, etc. We “ain’t afraid of no ghosts”.

Huey Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. and his moustache, claiming the melody for Ghostbusters was plagiarized from his song “I Want a New Drug”. If that’s true, I salute you, Mr. Parker Jr…if you’re going to steal, steal from the best, sir.

“There’s something weird and it don’t look good”…THIS VIDEO!

Henry Lee Summer "I Wish I Had a Girl"

Henry Lee Summer. Three named men fascinate me. This video fascinates me. That is some hair. Have mercy! He tries to tug a girl's arm…he attempts to box a girl into a corner…but frustratingly his best game nets him no girls. Until the end. The beautiful end. Lookie there…he gets to play grab ass…he gets to do the crazy chicken leg dance. How did he get that girl…How did he get that girl?

Check it out hero…

Tiffany "I Think We're Alone Now"

She needed but one name…Tiffany. She needed but one venue…a shopping mall near you. I wanted to be alone with her…and Debbie Gibson. I can still picture the three of us “trying to get away…into the night…and then” they put their "arms around me and we tumble to the ground and then we say…” Ooh la la...can’t you hear my heart beat?
