So I was gonna write about the Van Halen reunion tour and the upcoming Springsteen album, but damn if I didn’t find the new chapters of R. Kelly’s “Trapped In The Closet” series, and…wow, I have no words. Watch and enjoy
This is unrated…but just so you know there’s some foul language and…um, adult situations.
Before Eddie Murphy was bagging Scary Spice and Babyface’s ex-wife in the same month, he was a fairly insecure young man when it came to women. Actually, he probably still is. Recorded in 1985, the song was produced by Rick James. This must’ve been before he kicked mud on Eddie’s couch. And I’m not sure if everyone knows this, but Party All The Time peaked at number 2 on the Billboard charts. Not bad for a comedian. The song isn’t great, but it’s very 80s.
That was the only song that you could get through on his debut album How Could It Be. I guess the world wasn’t ready for sensitive Ed. He would go on a release a much better album (we are talking Eddie Murphy here) called Love’s Alright which included a very memorable song with Michael Jackson called Whatzupwitu which featured Eddie and MJ floating in the video. No word on if Mike gave him a kick and a “hee hee” for making fun of his crying in the song She’s Out Of My Life.
You know how Rod Stewart’s latest albums have been those Great American Songbook titles where puts his touches on “classic” songs of yesteryear? Well, this isn’t exactly that.
There are certain songs that are horrid, yet hit so big and are so catchy that you eventually like them even though you’ll deny it to everyone. Think Black Eyed Peas’ My Humps, Fergie’s London Bridge, Patrick Swayze’s She’s Like The Wind, or Nick Lachey’s What’s Left Of Me. Ok, maybe only I like those last two. But you get the picture. I think Rihanna’s single, Umbrella, was headed that way except that everyone figured that it was actually good and even though they thought they were supposed to hate it, even music snobs kind of dug it, so people could joyously singing it aloud without worry that they’d get hated on. Even Mandy Moore likes it.
Mandy Moore has covered Rihanna’s hit single Umbrella. And I have proof. Thanks to Speeddeezy for sending this to me.
