Dance Like There’s No Station That Will Air You

Don’t expect to see Paula Abdul’s crappy video for “Dance Like There’s No Tomorrow” on MTV any time soon. According to MSNBC
Not only is MTV not planning to air the video, but no one even submitted the video [for] consideration in the network’s play rotation [in the first place]. “It makes sense that it wasn’t even submitted,” a source told me. “The only thing worse for a star like Paula to not have her video on TV is to have it actually rejected by MTV. You can’t be rejected if you never formally campaign for it.”
Ah, the old “you can’t dump me because we were never dating” trick. It works like a charm, too, unless you’re six and a half months pregnant and screaming it at your ex-boyfriend over the P.A. at a high school basketball game. That way just earns you a slew of unflattering superlatives and a permanent ban from school functions.

This would be like me trying to bring the “Gumby” slant top hair style back. Or insisting polka dots are cool again. Or wearing parachute Ocean Pacific pants with my Z Cavaricci sweater shirt with the leather patches on the chest. Or inquiring about opening a Chess King franchise. Now if you’ll ’scuse me, I have to lace up my Giorgio Brutini creepers and Stiff Stuff the hell out of my push back… where’s the hell’s my Wham! cassette?

I smell the Draccar Noir all the way down here, Rich. Can’t you tone it down just a bit? I’ll go MC Hammer on your ass if you don’t stop.
Fuck it. I can’t stop myself…
IT’S HAMMER TIME!

Okay the video is cheesey, but the song itself was not nearly as lame as I expected it to be. Must be the synthesizer effect that’s keeping her voice from exhibiting it’s usual flat, nasally tone.

That must’ve been the most boring song for the band to play…there was what? three cords total? Lame.
