For Sunday: Wonder Woman spins, and spins, and spins
I think I speak for everyone who loved Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman
when I say that we never got tired of watching her spin. She could turn even
the most pedestrian outfit into something special.
Here are several dozen spins. Watch the outfits. It’s a
whole education in late 1970s / early 1980s fashion.

For Sunday: Neneh Cherry sings "Buffalo Stance"
Another 1980s video! This one grew more and more appealing as I watched it over and over again, trudging on the treadmill. I like the goofy graphics, and the almost-serious lyrics:
No moneyman can win my love
It’s sweetness that I’m thinking of
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I’ll give you love, baby, not romance,
I’ll make a move, nothing left to chance,
So don’t you get fresh with me!

Sunday blog: Wang Chung sings “Let's Go”

Here's why I love 1980s music videos: they take simple little songs and dress them up, with things like:
-
Dancing skeletons!
-
Origami hats!
-
A New Orleans funeral!
-
Cheerleaders!
-
Pyramids!
-
Sumo wrestlers!
Put on your origami hat and repeat after me: "Let's go, baby, let's go, baby, come on!"
