"I've got this feeling ..." you need to turn your volume down

I got to sit next to someone tonight who had the entire Dirty Dancing soundtrack loaded into his, yes I said *his*, iPod. I handled "She's like the wind" and got through "Be my baby" but all of a sudden, "Hungry eyes" by Eric Carmen wound up on repeat, FIVE TIMES. I swear, this dude listened to it five times in a row!

All bloody night while cooking waffles for dinner, cleaning up the kitchen and giving my kid a bath, all that kept playing in my head was this god-awful song. So I you-tubed the video.

Hilarious! Everything that is fromage about 80s music videos is encapsulated in this hot mess. My favorite part (2:48) is when the piece of dinner he's fixin' to eat starts playing the saxophone.

Be sure to watch to the end when his meal ticket makes out with a tiny, pimp daddy in Aviator shades only to transform into, what? An Asian woman?

What does this all mean!?

PS. Eric Carmen is 61 years old. He's two years younger than my mom! Be sure to check out his video for "Make me lose control". Check out the hair.

    Jesus Christ. This is the guy who gave us "ALL BY MYSELF". It's true.

    I bet his swimming pool is filled with liquid gold just from the American Idol royalties from this crap.

    I had no idea that women have to hike up their skirts that high to play the sax... I need to pay more attention to women sax players.

    You need to be more considerate of those of us who can't access YouTube at the office.
