“I Eat Cannibals” from Total Coelo, 1983
catchy odd song from the glory days of music video, I include it here because the fashions were so distinctive, and remind me of bright colored plastic trash bags. I’m sure the success of their song allowed the girls to get more elaborate costumes for their next videos.

one of our favorite weirdos, Klaus Nomi, singing “The Twist”, late 1970s
“Something Stupid” from Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams. We love the beauty and the style of this remake of the Sinatra song. By the way, as much as I love this song, it was just plain creepy when Frank Sinatra was singing this to his daughter Nancy. This version is wonderful.
Take That singing “How Deep is Your Love” from the early 1990s.
televised fashion show from the mid 1950s, including lots of evening wear and furs – kitschy but glamorous
I’ll admit to a great fascination about the 1980s. It was the time when I was a young adult, excited by all the possibilities, absorbing every bit of pop culture and serious culture I could find. So I decided to write about it.
