This is the most 1985 thing ever. I remember when this video came on MTV 10 times a day. If youโre wondering why Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito and Michael Douglas are, anomalously, backup singers, the song was in the movie the Jewel of the Nile; itโs a promo for that film.
You know, at the time, I never really saw the appeal of Kathleen Turner. The big-haired blonde look is just not my thing. But she has a very fun personality in that video and looks quite nice in that white tux, I have to admit.
This feels like 1985 felt. Understandably. But itโs more โof the eraโ than most. It has the casual zaniness. The sense of fun thatโs missing now. And no Instagram face. I wouldnโt go back; around 1985 is when my life started to get extremely shitty. But it feels like such a foreign land now.
