YouTube is like online porn. It’s interesting for a minute, and then you just feel dirty. This is why I prefer Skinimax. (Which I just finally re-subscribed to, yay! I mean, I don’t watch that.)
But anyway, YouTube just brought this back into my life, so I can’t hate on it too much. This may be the greatest song ever! Okay, that’s an overstatement. And since you all know my love for 80s soft rock, I basically have no credibility left to say something like that. But it’s about to be a long weekend (a lo-oo-ooong weekend contending with crazy relatives), and we’ve all been working too hard and could use something fun. Am I right or am I right? Put this on and rock the eff out like I did. Because if dancing in front of your laptop is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Every time I thought the video couldn’t get any better, there would be an awesome fade or a close-up on the scary man perm. YES!
This is one of those songs that if I heard it in the car, I’d sing loudly and and gleefully, but if you cornered me and asked if I had ever done such a thing, I would deny it to the death.
that is awesome. Absolutely awesome.
I always thought it was “Josie’s on a vacation for a week.”
Awesome. AWESOME. Have a great Thanksgiving yourself.
Kickass song, but in no way ’soft rock’. Soft rock, in the 80’s at least (we could write a book about 70’s soft rock) describes artists such as Air Supply, Christopher Cross, and perhaps most of Chicago’s output of the decade. The Outfield is certainly not on that list – they were tough as nails. Just think, thay named themselves after the largest, but least populous portion of a baseball field, signifying that Tony, John and Alan stood together against the sea of fly balls hit to them from rock critics, more agressive artists, and the record-buying public. So there!

that last comment was super gay.
-R-, Libragirl, and Jess, RIGHT?!
Nabbalicious, so do you unabashedly own the wonderfulness that is Josie now?
3c, either way, it’s 80s gold.
Keith, to be fair, I wasn’t saying that the song is soft rock, I was saying that my love for 80s soft rock predisposes me to having bad taste. But regardless, thank you for the “least populous portion of a baseball field” observation.
“Anonymous,” I’m pleased to no end that my blog is another forum for you and Keith to continue calling each other gay.
The best part besides, well, the whole thing, was the one second aerial shot of the dude in the trench coat and sunglasses half-assedly pretending to be playing two keyboards. I don’t think there was any keyboard going on at that point in the song.
