[The Burgomaster]

I was really in love with her and she broke my heart seriously. Ripped it out of my chest, stomped on it a bit, ran over it with her car, played basketball with it, used it for fetch with her dog and then put it in a juicer.

And that, my friend, is what women do . . .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAKInjg66fY&feature=related   Absolute drivel.   (...and I love it...)

Okay, this one, also by GILBERT O'SULLIVAN, I really liked when I was 11, but though certainly an important nostalgia song for me, that I truly love, I do of course recognize it is drek:

I don't know which one's more ridiculous, but they both have beautiful tunes and clever lyrics, if not, eh, perplexing...  

Don't much hear these anymore:  
ANDREW GOLD is kind-of out of the same vein, but some years later; his "Lonely Boy" was huge for a couple of months in early 1977:

Geez AHD, it's like you're looking through my oldies collection.  I've got another one, but I'll have to wait till I get home as we can't post vids at work.

[Allhallowsday]

Y'mean one of these...?  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35FqbbZWPsM&feature=related  THELMA is LIVE!!!  (Over a track, of course, which is why you do not hear backup singers.) She is awesome.

How 'bout...?  These guys are all lipsynching...

Burton Cummings a one hitter? You've got to be kidding. The guy's got plenty of hits, with and without The Guess Who. Sacrilege, I tell you!

Anyway, Juice Newton can take me back to around 1980 just by playing a few notes.

[Mr. DS]

I think this video was my introduction into sex...at a young age.  And I loved it.

Yet, oddly this video kind of creeped me out as a kid...

Quick story about this song.  My brother and his friends were participating in a lip synch gong show idea at his college campus.  So they decided to imitate this video.  They worked for weeks on the choreography, my brother went out and bought the "Choose Life" shirt and they thought they had it down pat.  Well, one minute in they were gonged.

Lip-synch contests. Reminds me of a number some friends of mine practiced for a school contest way back when. Can't remember how they fared, just remember them practicing in my basement, as their own parents didn't want the noise. I did some lighting effects for them, flicking lamps on and off mostly. We all thought it was the coolest thing, but I imagine we all looked like dorks. I think I now understand the smirks on my parents' faces.

I forgot to mention Bonnie Tyler as having a similar nostalgia-inducing effect as Juice Newton.
