"Alright, so Thriller was a huge hit, and we've made millions and millions of american dollars in the superfluously-zippered-red-leather-jacket market alone. How are we going to follow this up? Do we have any other songs on deck that would be appropriate for an overly elaborate music video mascarading as a horror-film homage/vignette?"
"Not really boss."
"Nothing here boss."
"I've got a Debbie Gibson tune, it's kind of frightening."
"Ah, fuck it. These are all terrible ideas. Just get me some working class mook who doesn't know any better. They don't care what kind of ridiculous crap we put together as long as they get a paycheck and some fun gigs. It's too bad Jimmy Buffet isn't making music videos. Alright, that's sorted. How about budget?"
"I've got 20 bucks."
"Great, run down to the dollar store and buy a shitload of crappy out of season halloween makeup and shit. The really cheap kind from China, with all the lead in it. And get some, like, thousand watt flood lights while you're at it."
"Will do, Boss."
I actually really like Huey Lewis, and this song, but man, what a dumb video. Despite myself, I can't help liking the hunchback.

07:54, Thu 13 Mar 2008 .. Posted by jeepsI had a chevy van alot like that one... you should see what a wreck it was when I survived whacking the side of a straight-back truck that crossed in front of me. I hit the other truck so hard it knocked it over on the side and bounced me back 30 feet.
I walked away from it... bloody but alive.
