Why the Donnas? ‘Cause I’m singing along, baby! I work hard for my money! Of course, unlike the woman in the video, I do not alternately work as a cleaning lady, diner waitress or sweatshop employee but I did spend 2 hours at a synagogue this evening… networking. It’s true. And it’s also true I kept thinking of Jesus kicking ass at the temple but I kept telling myself, I am not selling- I am just embedding myself into a community. (Before anyone thinks I am positively insane, there was a meeting hall area and it was an event that had nothing to do with religion).
Anyone else find the end of the video where the hard working lady does a choreographed dance sequence in the street similar to the end of this video:
In your Wildest Dreams by the Moody Blues. As a kid, I LOVED this video’s 1960’s back and white flashbacks!
Now here is a challenge to you my dear readers (all 5 of you): Can anyone else think of a 1980’s video where a crowd of people do a choreographed dance sequence on the street? I think there must be at least another video or two out there, right?
And on the topic of weird 80’s stuff– I was listening to the 80’s station on XM today and the song, We Built This City came on. This is really odd but for some crazy reason, I’ve always thought the male lead singer of Starship was Michael Medved. I mean, I know it’s not him but for some reason, I always visualize Michael Medved singing it with Grace Slick.
Sadly, in the video, Mickey Thomas shaved the ‘stache.
I also have serious concerns about the structure of a city that was built on rock and roll. I’m sorry, but that’s just not smart engineering.
PS Why don’t more men where puffy-sleeved blouses like lead singer of the Moody Blues?
Another street scene from the 80s? Well, I think “Beat It” by the girly man Michael Jackson might fit the bill.
I don’t have the inclincation (nor the stomach) to verify this suspicion.
I have seen the Moody Blues in concert twice…in Fort Worth, Texas, and at some amphitheatre in New Jersey
(on a bill with Chicago, whom I’ve also seen twice). Guess what. That means I’m older than you. If not mentally, at least chronologically.
Let me second that emotion about the Moody Blues: they are great, and if the opening guitar riffs from “The Story In Your Eyes” doesn’t get your heart pumping, nothing will.
P.S. You have at least 5 fans.
If you want a lot more, just post more risque and questionable messages. Controversy sells, Donna!
Join the trash heap!
“just post more risque and quetionable messages.” Does that mean I’ve posted some risque and quetionable messages in the past? I’ve always walked the straight and narrow! My parents read my blog!!! 🙂
No we don’t.
I always liked the lyrics to Built This City. It was kind of strange the male lead singer’s voice sounded so much like Grace Slick’s. Grace Slick, one of my favorite wild children of all time.
Yes, you have posted some
daring messages. And when you do, all the lurkers come out from the shadows.
Try it again sometime!
(Just kidding. I love the
high-minded and scholarly approach you have to your blog).
Yeah, right.
I agree that a city built on rock and roll could be a bit unstable.
Still, I would live in that city as opposed to one built on Dixieland or Zydeco music.
My folks currently reside in the city built on The Oak Ridge Boys, near an outlying suburb built on Ray Stevens.
I haven’t visited in a while but it looks like I stopped by just in time. I always enjoy a good challenge (and now you have at least 6 readers 🙂
Not sure if this counts as a video but I always liked the street dancing in the Blues Brothers movie. I just cranked up Shake A Tail Feather on the headphones at work. Between that and all the coffee it should be a productive morning.
