The Bad 80s Video War Rages On
Corey made me do this.
In response to what I thought was one hell of an opening salvo (when I pulled out the Falco video), Corey fought back like a man with his back to the wall... he busted out Rebbie Jackson's "Centipede" on me, complete with its cheesy bad dancing and wild animal special effects. Bloodied by that vicious uppercut, I very nearly conceded the war to him right then and there.
But I have a secret weapon. And I never said I fight fair. Ladies and gentlemen... Toni Basil's "Mickey."
God bless cheerleaders. Not these cheerleaders, but God bless cheerleaders in general.

This video bring back memories of grinding with Jenni Lynn Bryan on the dance floor in 1995, so I'm a little sentimental to this choice.
I need time. I'm in to this big time.

this was one of my favorite songs as a kid. sorry if this statement makes anyone feel "old". it's not my intention, i assure you. i played the 45 repeatedly. my father may have hated this song more than watching mr. rogers. i still have it somewhere.
