Thanks to the wonders of the television station The Tube, I have found myself taken back in time to an era when videos were super low-budget but slyly sexy. And so this week, I regret to inform all of you that I have a crush on
Michael Hutchence.
And Robert Palmer.
Why am I embarassed, you ask? Well, for starters, they are both sort of dead. That's kind of weird. I don't think I have a crush on any other dead guys, except maybe Abraham Lincoln.
And secondly, Michael Hutchence died in sort of a skeevy way (erotic strangulation!) and was kind of skeevy in general (always looks a little too sweaty). I don't even like long hair. And Robert Palmer, well, he just wasn't really that hot. Maybe in that kind of eighties-goofball kind of way. I'm not sure. He had a lot more hit songs than I remembered, though.
So I don't know what my problem is. But when I see the videos for "New Sensation" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FmW811ZcVDs) and "Simply Irresistible" (http://youtube.com/watch?v=M3geoXOdnJQ) I can't look away.

Love the Robert Palmer...
I think I read on a pop-up video recently that 'Simply Irresistable' is the most recognized music video in the entire world.
Check out the Rob Morrow impersonation of Robert Palmer and this video in an old episode of Northern Exposure -- although Amanda is going to have to tell you what season it was!
