You Look Out of Your Window

Today's lame video, err, 80's classic is from that timeless group known as The Kinks. "Come Dancing" was their biggest 80's hit and they followed that up with today's song that made it to #29 on the Billboard charts. Here is "Don't Forget to Dance"...

They Put a Parking Lot on a Piece of Land

Back in the day, before this fancy dancy Guitar Hero nonsense all the kiddies are playing now, if you wanted to play a fake guitar, you either played air guitar or a tennis racket like this nerdy kid does in today's video... and we liked it! we loved it! Today's English group has a long and storied past dating back to the 60's when they formed... they produced hits like "You Really Got Me," "All Day and All of the Night," and my personal favorite, "Lola"... making a splash into the top 10 back in 1983 with a song that I couldn't understand the lyrics to, here are The Kinks with "Come Dancing"...
