Moore (<--get it?) stuff...
Aw yeah! Pump up the jam, pump it up. A lot of videos were so much simpler back in the day. Just show people dancing and some flashing lights. This chick isn't even doing that much. Nothing fancy. She let's her jam speak for her. I'm pretty sure I could make this video on my Mac in about 15 minutes. The dude got game though.
You can pretty much skip the first 30 seconds of this song but when it starts kicking in at :28, I think this song is one of the better chick rap 80s videos. The video isn't that great and the choreography is pretty horrible and I think the lip syncing could use some work but I dig the song.
Salt and Pepa's here. I dig those jackets they're wearing but I have no idea what the hell they're talking about in this song :) If you put Salt-n-Pepa, JJ Fad and Technotronic in a cage fight, my money is on Salt-n-Pepa. Come to think of it, I bet Salt OR Pepa could take all the rest of them.
Bonus Video!
Now, I know this song isn't form the 80s but I'm feeling old and I like it. I heard it at the Toby Keith bar in Vegas a couple of years ago and thought it spoke to guys getting on up there in age (uh…like me…)
Wow. Check this out. The first cell phone ad from 1989. I wonder if they had Angry Birds on that bad boy. How far we've come, eh? Look at the antenna on that "mobile" phone. You could probably call somebody on the moon with that freaking thing. I wonder how they carried it around? Can you imagine somebody hauling that thing around on a belt clip? It probably cost $5k too.

Let's rap a bit shall we? 80s style...
I love how the "gangsta" at the beginning laments how the Five-O is always hassling him AND Snow. Later in the video we see Snow actually in jail. He probably says what he did to deserve to be thrown in the clink in the tune's lyrics somewhere but nobody can understand him. Hey, at least he's not rapping about killing anybody…at least I don't think he is. Enjoy this classic…"Informer" by my boy Snow.
Next up, one of my favorites. Boyeeee it's Vanilla Ice and this kid had it going on back in the day. Remember those eyebrows? I remember at a party once Willie Sandaval cut off half my eyebrow while trying to make me look like Vanilla Ice. I was pretty wasted and couldn't put up much of a fight. It takes a long time for eyebrows to grow back by the way. Back to Ice. Anybody remember any of the other songs off his album? Yeah, me neither. But this one is good. Word to your mutha…
"Do you like parties? We can invite all our friends and have soda and pie. I hope no bad people show up." Man, this video simply rocks. Every time I see it, it makes me feel good and gets my juices flown'. My favorite party of the video is when all the peeps are walking through the front door at about 1:37. These dudes are still rocking too! They're releasing a new album soon.
Ok, stop what ya doin'… One of the best rap songs to this day. Check out that groove, baby. One of the few rap songs that I know like 90% of the lyrics to. Word. By the way, here's what the Humpty Hump dude looks like without the schnoz and glasses:
The Humpty Dude
The PSA this week is Blind Melon singing Three is a Magic Number. It really is you know.

Movie time...
Let talk 80s movies. Here a a couple of my favorites.
"Screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place." Ah, "The Breakfast Club". Great acting, great writing, great soundtrack, great movie. I haven't seen it in a good while but, man, this flick is really a classic 80s movie. I really had a thing for Molly Ringwald after seeing this movie (what dude didn't?). Check out the trailer (I don't think I've ever actually seen it before):
Next, another 80s favorite of mine. "The Goonies". "Sloth loves Chunk!" Hard to believe the most successful actor out of the whole bunch ended up being the big brother (Josh Brolin). I wish they made more movies like this nowadays. Real kids (not computer generated) having cool adventures. Doesn't sound too hard...I will say this trailer could've used a bit more work though. It's not really a good idea to name all the characters...Mouth, Data, Bran, Stephanie, Chunk as you show them....there are better ways to go....oh well, check it:
Last but not least, a movie that I don't think I actually saw in the 80s because I thought it would suck. I mean, a movie about a princess and love and all that gooey kind of stuff is not what a teenage boy is usually into so I don't think I saw this until I was well into my twenties. When I did finally see it though, I loved it. I love everything about this movie. Great story told in a fun way. Lots of funny scenes. I still can't get my Jack to watch it though (he's 6)...guess I'll have to wait until he's twenty-something. Of course, I speak of "The Princess Bride"
And finally, I leave you with some wise words from the Hoff:

Remember when...
Remember when...MTV played videos and we got bits of life wisdom from the likes of Jason Bateman and Soleil Moon Frye? I decided to add a bit of 80s oriented pop culture content to the ol' blog.
First off, I bring you what I consider a really underrated 80s tune. In this video, we follow the trials and tribulations of a Renaissance man and his vertically challenged friend while they attempt to find refuge from a world that is apparently not very concerned about the dangers that can accompany dancing.
Honestly, I'm not sure what this next video is about but I like it. My kid likes the intro because it sounds like something you here in a Donkey Kong game (he doesn't care for the rest though). Every time I hear it, I think of poor, poor Danielson storming off the soccer field in "The Karate Kid".
I'm probably the world's biggest Jason Bateman fan. It's just the way it is. When the guy talks, it's like it's raining gold. So listen up...
Rock On
