This song came out in my teenage years around the same time as the Rock movie theme tune, Eye of the Tiger. I mentioned in that post about a camp I attended where we stayed up all night watching Rocky movies. This song also figures heavily in this pleasant teenage memory as many of the […]

Such a lovely piece of music that brings back pleasant memories of the movie Local Hero which came out in 1983 when I was still at school. A nice concert performance of this timeless classic although this version does lack the brass section of which of course is prominent in the original soundtrack. However without

In terms of the most visually pleasing video for week 35, well surely it has to go to the Corrs video for the song “So Young”. Yes I know! Well in fairness to me, the video is artistically clever even if most of the band members are stunningly beautiful.

So this week had a bit of a monster theme to it with both “The Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett and Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. Most of the song videos this week are straight concert presentations with the exception of the Pretenders video Back in Chain Gang and the Beatles Paperback writer. Although

So this week’s video goes to “If you want to sing out” by Cat Stevens mainly because the video track is actually from the quite incredible movie Harrold and Maud. If you like black comedy, this movie is the one for you.

So this week the two songs that make my shortlist for the best video are: Never tear us apart, INXS Head over feet, Alanis Morissette The second video is a little disconcerting because the song’s lyrics is about a woman who has found the love of her life yet Alanis’s facial expressions in this song

So this week there are only two thematic videos: Name of the game, Abba Don’t dream it’s over, Crowded House The Abba video is slightly disconcerting (see my previous post) so my vote today is for the Crowded House Video. The table at 2 minutes 26 seconds is like our kitchen worktop ????.

Two interesting videos in this week’s playlist both at opposite ends of the spectrum. The first is Roam by the B52s: a very fun video with lots of comical content consistent with the general happy light hearted music of the B52s. The second is the much darker video by Pink Floyd. In fact the content

So this is another week that has mostly concert video footage. The only video that contains some thematic footage is Pink Floyd’s learning to fly so this is the song that get’s my vote this week as it does contain some interesting imagery interspersed with concert footage of the band doing their stuff.

No real competition this week. Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush at the time was a ground breaking song with a ground breaking video to boot. Kate Bush’s overall look and dancing is always absolutely mesmerising.
