Classic Music Video of the Week

Yes, I know what you are thinking...TWO classic music video posts in a row?! How unoriginal! How tediously redundant! How unorganized!

Well first of all, back off. I haven't had my coffee yet. It is Sunday, so technically it's a new week. But most importantly, it's Father's Day. And in honor of my father, this week's video is Oh Sherrie by Steve Perry. Now before you start complaining about how last week's video was Journey and now this week's is from lead singer Steve Perry, let me explain.

My hilarious father and I were having one of our many ridiculous debates years and years ago. I believe I was trying to argue with him what a unique lead vocalist Raine Maida from Our Lady Peace was. This discussion sparked the classic family quote from my father of, "Steve Perry is the greatest male vocalist...of all time." He continued to add, "Remember that video, where he's sitting on those stairs? When he hits that 'Should've been gone!' that's just the best!"

So Happy Father's Day, to all the fathers and also fans of Steve Perry. Because our love holds on, holds on.

Classic Music Video of the Week

With all the exposure Journey has been getting this week with the Sopranos series finale, I guess this week's classic music video spot goes to them.

And what better video than Separate Ways! The singing into the camera! The invisible instruments! The disgustingly tight jeans! Steve Perry's awesome hair!

Where is this leather-skirt clad woman walking to? She keeps coming in and out of frame. God, I adore her hair too!

I love the over-exaggeration of emotion when all five of them sing into the camera. Hey, isn't that picture familiar? (See sidebar of this blog.)

Journey is amazing. Happy Thursday. Enjoy.
