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”

Wang


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!"
