I still jam out to this when I hear it come on in the grocery store. Even though it was written by Diane Warren, DeBarge still pulled of an amazing performance and put on that magical touch that only androgynous 80s R&B pop stars can do. And yes they are complete Lionel Richie hacks…we’ll do Lionel some justice here soon don’t worry.

Both these jokers are in my band and they’ve done an incredible job capturing the glory of the 80s is this mock video. If you’re impatient skip to 1:30 to see the goods. This song would have been a smash hit in the 80s, SMASH I tell you. Props to John and Josh.

This is one of the strangest, most awkward videos I’ve ever seen. This isn’t so much 80s as 80s on a bad acid trip. It’s going to be hard following up this 80s video next week.

Chevy Chase “You Can Call Me Al” http://www.ourrisingsound.com/2008/08/29/80s-music-video-day-paul-simon-ft-chevy-chase-you-can-call-me-al/ http://www.ourrisingsound.com/2008/08/29/80s-music-video-day-paul-simon-ft-chevy-chase-you-can-call-me-al/#comments Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:00:49 +0000 Kyle http://www.ourrisingsound.com/?p=167 2 80s icons together, Paul Simon and Chevy Chase, this is like 80s ecstasy. The white sports jackets, high water jeans, light pink walls it just all works for me. This video make me so happy, I feel like a school girl who just made the high school cheerleading squad. Little known fact, the names in the song came from an incident at a party that Simon went to with his wife Peggy Harper. The host of the party called Paul “Al”, and Peggy “Betty”, inspiring Simon to write a song. And now you know…..

The only kareoke I will EVER participate in is 80s, because it just speaks to my soul in a very cheesy Christopher Cross sort of way(that might be a sneak peek for next week’s posting). So I figured why not expose this passion for 80s music to the world on a weekly basis. Truth is my friend Pmark inspired me in this, so you can blame him.

This truly is one of my all time favorite 80s tunes. I love how they slam the syllables on “ancient melodies” to make it fit. I can’t believe they didn’t rewrite that, just brilliance. Don’t leave me out on this limb alone, if you dig this, let the world know.
