Anyone else have the sudden urge to sing this?

Submitted by K Mack, underwear model

Here’s a novel idea: underwear that makes you feel like a superhero in bed. That came out wrong.

Wikipedia has a list of all the styles, ranging from DC and Marvel comic book heroes to Star Wars to Ms. Pacman.

Not much to be said, but these were central to every one of my childhood summers. Sometimes my neighbour would keep a whole one to herself, rather than breaking it in half and sharing, and I thought she was horrible for that.

Anybody see the episode of Mad Men where Peggy comes up with an ad campaign for popsicles?

Submitted by M Henson, twist it

A long time ago, I sent Hasbro my idea for a variation of Bop It. It was called **** It. It was similar to Bop It, only instead of bopping, you would have to do things like **** it, **** it, **** ******* it with your ****, and ********* **** ** ******* ********* apple sauce ***** ****** ** *****ing ***** it. I still haven’t heard back.

Another edition of ’80s Music Video Thursday, where we bring you the best/worst/cheesiest of what YouTube can let us embed. As always, leave your suggestions for next week’s post in the comments.

“Love Shack” by the B-52s
This party in the “Love Shack” is what I’d imagine the birthday party for a 40-year-old at Chuck-E-Cheese might look like. Awesome awesome awesome song.

“Yo’ Little Brother” by Nolan Thomas submitted by themanwithoutaplan

literally, the worst music video from the 80s ever made.

“Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats submitted by a lot of people
Probably the most frequent request we’ve gotten for ’80s Music Video Thursday, but truthfully, I think the video is pretty well done. Cheesy concept for sure, but there are no bad special effects or weird cuts.

“TV Dinners” by ZZ Top submitted by MaryInBoise

I polled most of my friends who grew up in the 80s like me, and almost none of them remember this ZZ Top classic. Probably because it doesn’t have any scantily clad women in it.

“Voyage Voyage” by Desireless submitted by anonymous
I’ve never heard this song before — probably because it’s French — but this video definitely qualifies for awesomely terrible. I mean, what’s more fitting to synth-heavy brooding than a girl giving what appears to be the world’s worst Powerpoint presentation.
