80's Movie Weekend




In keeping with my Van Halen theme this weekend, we're taking a look back at a singing hamburger in 1985. Yes, I've already featured the classic John Cusack movie "Better Off Dead" in The Excellent 80's before, but it's worth another trip...

Here is the Eddie Van Halen guitar playing hamburger performing "Everybody Wants Some"...



Johnny wants his two dollars and he'll stop at nothing to get it!



It's a Better Off Dead Christmas...
