Got the Groove That Hits the Bone

Today's "futuristic" video from 1988 features my favorite German rock band The Scorpions. A bunch of hot futuristic chicks accompany the video, but what really cracks me up are the facial expressions of the band members the first half of the video. Seriously? Somebody thought these were cool shots? Hilarious is what I think. Here are those bad boy Scorpions with "Rhythm of Love"...

Girl, It's Been a Long Time That We've Been Apart

Happy 11-1-11 day! Today's song obviously came out before the Billboard 100 really started recognizing the greatness of heavy metal music. Easily my second favorite from the German rock band formed in 1965 known as the Scorpions, today's song reached only #65 (it was a #1 hit on the U.S. Rock Tracks chart though). Here is the over-shadowed little brother of "Rock You Like a Hurricane." It's their 1982 hit "No One Like You"...

#58

The crazy cage, the "futuristic" feel of the video, and the receding hairline of frontman Klaus Meine equal one great song and one great video on The Excellent 80's Top 80 Countdown today. The fog machine was in full effect in 1984 for this heavy metal classic from the heavy metal greats from Germany known as the Scorpions.

#58 - "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
by the Scorpions




Lyrics | Scorpions lyrics - Rock You Like A Hurricane lyrics

Give Her Inches and Feed Her Well

Back in 1984 if you turned on MTV and watched it continually for about 30 minutes, there was a good chance you were going to see this video, because they wore it out... nonetheless, it's a rock classic with "futuristic" women and a shaky cage that could collapse at anytime... get ready because The Excellent 80's is getting ready to rock you... "Rock You Like a Hurricane"...
