Ep 237: "1982's One-Hit Wonders" Revisited Old Roommates
-
- Film Reviews
"Come On Eileen" and "Mickey" were two iconic tunes from the early 1980s. Both were #1 hits. Both were about objects of affection. And both were earworms we couldn't get enough of. But how well do we remember their music videos? Did it turn the earworms into eyesores? Were Dexy's Midnight Runners in need of new clothes and a bath? Did Toni Basil's crush on Mickey border on crazy? And why is it okay for 80s men to grope women but not for women to even talk about groping men? The Old Roommates get their pom poms in a twist as they revisit these oh-so merry music videos through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.
