rushgoober Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 QUOTE (The Maples @ Feb 11 2011, 10:30 AM) I didn't know it that it would be Billy Squier, but as soon as I saw his name, this video came back to me like a bad dream. yup, same here! i used to love billy squier. i saw him twice back in the day, once even with def leppard as his opening group! i do remember this video though. it made me embarrassed to be a fan. talk about jumping the shark... from wiki: QUOTE Two years passed before Squier's next album Signs of Life. It was his third consecutive Platinum album. The album's first single release, "Rock Me Tonite" was Squier's biggest Pop hit. It reached #15 on Billboard's Hot 100, as well as #1 on the Album Rock Tracks chart in late 1984. However, the video for the track (directed by Kenny Ortega - Xanadu, High School Musical) which shows Squier dancing around a bedroom in a pink tank top, frequently appears on "worst music video ever" lists. On the VH1 show Ultimate Albums (Def Leppard's "Pyromania" episode), Squier revealed that his career as a chart-topping rocker came to a rapid and sudden end with the release of the "Rock Me Tonite" video, derided by his fans who saw him as a sellout.

But have you watched the entire thing recently? Oh, God no! I watched about five seconds of it, enough to be convinced it was what I thought it was, and now I'll lock that back in the closet of my mind that you inadvertently opened, throw away the key and move a wall unit in front of the closet so I can forget again that it exists.

micgtr71 Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Wasn't that par for the course back in the 80s. Plant could pull off the femine/masculine thing very well, but no one else could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 yeah, that's not good. I feel sorry for any kids back then that saw this and patterned their dance moves after this. I'm sure they took some beatings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teababe27 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The guy who directed this video was the guy who ended up directing High School Musical. Thus, it's a conspiracy. A conspiracy to get rid of good music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
