80s Music Video Flashbacks with Rick – Make Me Lose Control

After a couple of weeks off, ive come back refreshed and as witty as ever. Thats not an actual guarantee at anything witty, its just me trying to ease you into another 80′s Music Video Flashback!

Eric Carmen – Make Me Lose Control

 

Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking “Rick, how on earth did you get so damn handsome?” to which i reply that we arent here to talk about that, but to talk about how goddamn ugly Eric Carmen is. Sure his tussled hair and lack of lip colouring make him so damn appealing that even *I* think that hes a viable mate. If I were a chimpanzee.

Lets face it, its gotta be a giant novelty comb to be running through HIS hair. 

Eric Carmen had huge hits with All By Myself and Hungry Eyes from that asshat of a movie Dirty Dancing, but Make Me Lose Control was just an awesome song in its own right.

Cashing in on the 50s nostalgia that Billy Joel did a hell of a lot better, we’re taken back to a time long ago when fries came with a shake and women still had unburnt bra cups. Im wondering if they even brought back capital punishment for this clip as SOMEONE needs to be punished.

They even brought back vynil! Remember that kids? If you were born in the late 80s and onwards, im sure you only remember your own sense of self entitlement. Thats ok, I’ll remember them for the both of us.

I should probably admit that i miss tassles from 80s velvet jackets. Thats a timeless look that should be broken out on any occassion such as weddings and funerals. Tassles on anything makes a party, just ask any tuck stop stripper!

Anyway, I love this song, just because it reminds me that having nostalgia flashbacks about nostalgia flashbacks in video clips is still nostaglic….. what?
