Quickie!
I was watching this video on YouTube:
Listening to Phil Collins reminded me of this video:
And then it reminded me of '80s music and I remembered something that happened over Thanksgiving holiday. We finally got our PAL version VCR connected to the TV again ('cos, you know, who uses VCRs these days except for...people who live in the Stone Age? At least that's the thought that ruled our house). Anyway, I said to my mother that we can watch our home videos and all the tapes we had in India. She said yeah, bring them up and let's have a look. So my brother brought a carton full of tapes, some that were ours, some that were given by my uncle. Anyway, we had recorded "Ren and Stimpy" episodes and whatever had come on Star TV back in the days we lived in Bombay. My brothers wanted to watch "Ren and Stimpy," so they found the relevant tape, put it in and had to fast forward through the entire "Pied Piper of Hamelin" film (one of those 1950s technicolor extravaganzas that starred Van Johnson and Claude Rains. Anyway, so after "Ren and Stimpy" was over, there suddenly was a music video of...oh who was it first? It was...some '80s band that I can't recall the name of. Then Dire Straits came on and then, Tears for Fears. It was "Shout." The only reason I recognised the song was because it had come on a recent episode of "Psych." But that wasn't the killer, no. The best was "Ice Ice Baby." We all cracked up.
Total blast from the past. I wish we could've watched "Remember the Time." I think that was the only white Michael Jackson song I really like. I used to LOVE "Black or White" but when I saw the "extended" version, I was a bit...I dunno. I still love that video, until that smashing car part.
Anyway...random post but it gives you something to read if you're bored :)
