Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

WHOA HOLY CRAP

heard the song a thousand times, but had never seen the video.  At 1:15 the singer dude stops the music and is like “hang on, maybe there’s another way to do this” and then he stands in a meadow and turns into a hawk that flies away, then the bass player gets into the back of a jaguar, starts playing with his dork, and turns into a cobra.  THEN the drummer is hanging out by a bridge and turns into an iguana or a savannah monitor or something and then the keyboard player is dressed like a dandy fop and is walking on a bathroom sink and turns into a black cat.  Then the hawk comes back, flies over a castle, back into presumably London, and then Yes starts rockin’ again.

Owner of a lonely heart, indeed

https://youtu.be/SVOuYquXuuc

Edit: there’s also a guy who washes his face with meal worms and a buncha other weird crap

OOOH!  The extended Director's cut version!

MTV always just started the video at the part where they restart the song with the lonely heart dude walking across the crowded bridge.

ok last one of the night: i feel erasure is one of the underappreciated, under-the-radar bands of the 80s.  This song encapsulates the intention of this thread....you'll listen and be like "ok, maybe i think i've maybe heard this once" and then the hook will come and you'll be like "o ya woo ive heard this one before for sure"

it's got everything.  ultra gay femme lead singer.  baby driving a forklift.  seoul 1988 olympic shoutout.  skeleton dancing.  trench warfare. lil baby cupid sharpshooter.  hobo bindles.  miners with pick axes.  spray painted speakers.

well, i guess after typing that all out you don't really NEED to watch the video but i'd still recommend it so here ya go

I wanted to put some holiday Christmas-y 80's jam up here, and I already put the Waitresses' fantastic Christmas Wrapping in another thread so I came up with these two absolute bangers I think we can all agree are as good as it gets.

In 1984, in an era when folks around the world were moved by the plight of starving folks in Ethiopia, Bob Geldof decided to record a charity-single-bop just in time for Christmas featuring some of the UK's biggest celebrities of the time; like Sting, Phil Collins, Simon Le Bon, Bono, George Michael, Boy George and many others.  The result is a holiday charity song that we all know and love:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3fSknbR7Y4


Inspired by this, and following the lead of the Brits, Harry Belafonte enlisted Quincy Jones and an absolute plethora of US celebrity musical acts to record their own holiday-celebrity-single-charity-bop for our side of the pond and absolutely owned Geldof's entire ass with this MASSIVE hit (see how many folks you can recognize and name instantly in this one):

ok, here’s a bop with a strange story for ya

when paul shaffer (the bald bespectacled homie from the letterman show) helped write this bop, they initially offered it to donna summer.  However, as a newly born-again Christian, she claimed it was “blasphemous” and then mailed a bible to shaffer.

it was then picked up by martha wash and izora armstead (who at the time were performing as a group called “two tons of fun”).  They named themselves “the weathergirls,” making themselves the first band in history to name themselves specifically after song that had ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN and then have that song go to #1 on the charts.  Also gay anthem ftw

Submitted for the approval of the midnight society:

It’s raining men by the weathergirls

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.
