Battle Royale: The Touch by Stan Bush
Who remembers this tune? You have to if you were a boy in the 80s. The greatest movie (other than Top Gun) ever released during the 80s was “Transformers: The Movie.” Why? Because Optimus Prime died, and that was the first time I cried in a movie. I admit it, seeing his brightly red/blue colored [...]
Total Eclipse of the Heart: Literal Video Version
I could watch these for hours. This song is the best one I’ve seen so far. Such a simple yet brilliant idea. Mullet with headlights?!
80′s Ballad Friday: LITA!
So we’ve talked all week about the awesome line-up at the Schad Rent Party this weekend. But none will be bigger than the biggest superstar 80′s metal ever produced. Lita Ford in the house at the Gallery Cab? Uh-huh. It ain’t no big thing. Now go hump that guitar Lita!
80′s Ballad Friday
It’s been a while. Sorry about that. Now that we are done with our WTTW pilot taping, we can get back to the more important things in life: surfing YouTube for awesome 80′s ballads. How did I miss this one? It has a lady. It has really bad graphics. It has a limber (ish) Nikki [...]
80′s Ballad Friday
Let’s get back to some serious 80′s ballads. This is one of the better ones just because it blends the sappy message ballad with a jog down cliche’ lane. Yeah, children. They are the future. I wonder how much tail they got from this song. And I wonder how many times that lead singer cried [...]
80′s Ballad Friday: Sort of.
This is a departure, but only because it might be the best video of the 80′s. It combines hot star, soundtrack tune, clips from the movie and a new plot that has nothing to do with the movie but has all the players in it. Can you guess? That’s right – Ally and the gang [...]
80′s Ballad Friday
Look at the hair on display here. No weird plots, just awesome hair.
Sometimes She Cries….
And then walks in a muddy cornfield for a while without her baby. Ah, a classic ballad here. I usually leave the critique to the video but this song is really, really bad. I love that Warrant is all about the ladies and their pain. Then of course, they dive in for the Cherry Pie. [...]
80′s Ballad Friday
This was on my bookmarks all week. I looked at it, biting my lip in anticipation for today. It’s been a week. Therefore, it’s time for 80′s Ballad Friday!!!!! This week comes from Mike who reminded us last week of the wonderful world of Nelson. This isn’t as much a ballad although it is pretty [...]
80′s Ballad Friday
I think Winger had a gay director. It’s fine, but I wonder if they knew that. Or maybe Kip has a vision. This is definitely one of those videos where you have to ask: Who’s hotter? The hot girl? or the lead singer?
80′s Ballad Friday
So this song is not really that obscure. I have it on my I-pod. But for the life of me, I couldn’t remember the video. Boy, how did this one not stick with me? I wonder if the director is European. This is art meets ballad at it’s best.
