Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just watched the Madness vid. man, I had forgotten how damn funny that was.

Also cool is Blur's video for "Parklife" which pays beautiful homage to the "Our House" vid (in part - it's not a straight up parody or anything).

My favorite Madness video is Wings of a Dove. Sure it's a blatant rip-off of Bob Dylan, but I think it was the first blatant rip off of Bob Dylan.

You've got to be kidding. People have been blatantly ripping off Bob since 1965.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I also just baked a batch of banana muffins, baked a spinach/crab quiche, and washed the dishes. I feel oh-so-virtuous.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I, on the other hand, have been trolling YouTube and giggling like the schoolgirl I was when these videos were released.

Hair Band Videos, Best Of (aka, songs Dean Winchester sings along to)

GnR - Welcome To The Jungle. Purely because of Axl's hair. Not as much Slash as I would like.

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again. Girl in a white lace dress doing random ballet moves on cars.

Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn. BLESS.

Warrant - Heaven

Winger - Hungry. C'mon it starts with a random car crash!

Ratt - Round and Round.

Def Leppard - Women. It has comics!

Skid Row - 18 and Life. Damn.

Great White - Once Bitten, Twice Shy. Though listening to it, it's much more a southern/outlaw rock song than a hair band song. Strong elements of honky-tonk.

Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize. Lawd.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd

Piotr, you were NEVER young.

I refuse to let the MEAN lady ruin my good mood.

Y'know, I never could stand Hair Metal. Nor could 95% of my countrymen. It was just this anomaly we'd catch glimpses of and just shake our heads, and go back to the drugged-up Manchester scene... Which had it's own image problems, you betchya.

A few I forgot:

Motley Crue - Smokin' In The Boys Room

Bon Jovi - Livin' On A Prayer

Van Halen - Panama

Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf. Not hair band, but still worth a mention.

Chronologically young, sure. But I suspect you have always been wise beyond your years.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

One day I was roaming the radio dial when I could have sworn I heard a punk rock song. I called my best friend, "turn on the radio! They're playing punk on the radio!" She did as I asked and then snorted, "This is Metallica! They're a heavy metal band!" Blew my mind, man.

Because books.

Ooh! Speaking of the 80s, the Cosby episode where they pretend to make Vanessa play Chug-a-Lug is on. Heh.
