I Really Have Too Much Free Time On My Hands



It's not that I don't like "Take Me Home Tonight". Put it on the stereo and will sing along as loudly and drunkenly as possible. It's just that there are so many things wrong with this video, I almost don't know where to start. Oh wait, yeah I do:

1. Eddie Money, what in the hell are you wearing? I realize that during the 80's there was a rash of really terrible windbreaker incidents, but as a rock'n'roller, you should have known better than to succumb to the puffy sleeved devil.

2. Why are you fake-playing what appears to be a kind of tiny saxaphone? We all know you can't play the saxaphone. Maybe that's why 30 seconds later you decided to turn it on its side and play it like a guitar? Were you all like "Oh shit it is so obvious I have no idea what I am doing. Better try to cover my tracks with a rousing bout of air guitar. They'll never guess that I was trying to look legit." Eddie Money, you are a genius.

3. You know, when I first saw that female sillouhette in the beginning of the video I got all excited to see a blonde 80's hot chick. She's all walking seductively down the hallway and you get all excited that maybe you'll see a Kelly Bundy-esque groupie and then all of the sudden you're assaulted with the 50 year old Ronnie Spector. Let me tell you, time has not been kind to Ronnie so if you have an aversion to seeing the decidedly weird image of a wrinkly face attached to a kind of hot body you might want to skip the last minute or so.

Fun fact: Eddie Money used to be a member of the NYPD. Well, he sure has arrested this girl's heart. Zing!
