The 2 minutes and 24 seconds encompassed in this video contain 47 different shades of bizarre. I know, because I counted.
Strangely enough, according to Pantone – whoever that is – Tangerine Tango is going to be 2012’s hottest color. It’s also a color prominently featured in this music video. I can’t decide if that adds another shade of bizarre to the whole thing, or if it takes a shade away.
At any rate, I’d like to say thank you, 80’s, for giving us so much fodder for giggling. And for teaching us that dancing is a make-or-break fundamental foundation of friendship.

It is bizarre, isn’t it? I know because I break out into that song every once in a while and my kids look at me like I’M bizarre! lol ~ perhaps I am..

Love the music and the message, Myndi. Not sure where you find these gems. Not sure I want to know, but keep them coming.
Will replay as soon as hubby leaves. My dogs will dance with me, He’ll think I have too much time on my hands and will bring me a list, AARGH.
I love this!! Happy New Year!
Ah, 80’s cutting-edge. good times.
Hmmm, I remember when this was a ‘world premier’ video on MTV. Guess I’m kind of old. It still makes me smile when I see the video or the song comes up on my iPod, because yes, I must have all the cool 80’s songs on my iPod! Those were some rockin’ days.
‘…we can act real cool like we’re out of this world and leave the real one far behind… we can dance (und sing!)…’ Now those are some stellar lyrics.
Thanks for the giggle, Myndi!
LOL! I love how very serious he is singing this song. Very clear that it’s an important message to him, close to his heart. 🙂 I always wanted MTV so badly growing up – jealous! My dad threw out the TV when I was seven, so I missed out on all sorts of pop culture from my childhood. Bummer. Thank goodness for YouTube – I can make up for lost time!
Just cranked it up and danced around with grandkids (aged 3 and 4). WILD! Your dad through out the tv when you were seven? Sounds like there’s a story ..
Curse you to the 80s for getting that song stuck in my head! Now I have to infect others as fast as possible.
Aah, Men Without Hats. My college classmate David used to refer to them as “Men Without Talent”.
Yeah, that was definitely weird. And funny because I didn’t see any actual dancing. They should have said, “We can hop, jump, and make creepy faces if we want to.” I wonder why he kept looking at the sky like he was having a psychotic break or a bad reaction to some 80’s club drugs?
This is awesome – quirky and weird, just like 80’s fashion! Okay, adding the Tangerine Tango to my 2012 wardrobe choices!!! 🙂
Happy New Year, darling!
