  • Friday Throwback – Rock The Cradle Of Love

    Back when I was watching more MTV than you can shake a stick at, there were so many videos that I saw at least a hundred times. This one specifically I remember, more than I remember the song itself. In fact, I can’t even think about this song without thinking about the video. I may have never heard it without also watching the video at the same time.

    • That’s a pretty sweet computer for 1990.
    • The dude looks like Patrick Dempsey from Can’t Buy Me Love.
    • When she said, “I was wondering if I could play this tape,” he probably thought she meant, “I was wondering if you could wax these drawers.”
    • That dude has a flat screen plasma in 1990!
    • This hot chick is dancing in his apartment and he jumps on the computer. Unless you are getting your web cam ready, that’s a bad move slick.
    • I ain’t nobody’s fool.
    • Making her spill red wine on her shirt was his only good move so far.
    • Ronald from Can’t Buy Me Love is terrible at making moves. Dude, she’s on your bed.
    • Liberace could’ve pulled her better than this dude.

    The girl’s name was Betsy Lynn George if anyone cared. And I already told you who the guy was. Ronald from Can’t Buy Me Love.

  • Friday Throwback – I Love Your Smile

    Holy cow. Shanice is 34 years old. Time sure flies when your pop stars from the 90s get older. Everyone remembers Shanice right? And no, she’s not the light skinned one. That was Tracie Spencer. No, Eddie from Family Matters didn’t have a crush on her. Again, I believe that was Tracie Spencer. Shanice is the one with the smile. In fact, if you watched Beverly Hills, 90210 during season 1 or 2, you’d remember her very well. They played lots of Shanice at the end of that show as well as lots of Vanessa Williams and Jeremy Jordan (alright!).

    • Doesn’t she look like a young Tootie in that opening shot?
    • Man, she was being romantic with that mic.
    • That dude is taking pictures all up inside her nostrils too.
    • They should’ve created a special character for her on 90210. With those clothes, she would’ve fit in very well.
    • Where the hell did this rap come from?
    • Blow Branford blow.
    • I love your smile! Sike! That was so wrong.
    • She really does.

    Soon, she’d be Saving Forever For You and praying with Johnny Gill. And then she married Flex Alexander. Who knew?

  • Friday Throwback – Tunnel Of Love

    After really digging Bruce Springsteen’s new single, I started to think about all of the older Bruce stuff that I have liked over the years. I haven’t really listened to much Bruce since The Rising, but before that, my dad played a lot of it, including this one.

    • Did that sign say “Pun For All?”
    • Who knew Big Pun was even Big Pun back then?
    • Cuddle up angel, cuddle up my little dove/We’ll ride down baby into this tunnel of love
    • Look at how young Bruce looks
