Oooh Weee! Oooh Weee!

I love today's video from 1984, which gets cut off at the end for some reason. Anyway, it's from the debut album by the Fat Boys and it's a song called "Can You Feel It." I love that the Fat Boys felt the need to wear t-shirts that said Fat Boys on them. Combine those shirts with their goofy glasses, shorts, and hats, and you have one enjoyable 80's rap hit...

Are You Ready for Freddy?

Anytime you can combine the rap group the Fat Boys with one of the all-time horror characters then it has to be an instant classic, right? Well, maybe not, but it's still pretty good and very fitting at this time of the year. Here are the Fat Boys from the "Nightmare on Elm Street 4 : The Dream Master" movie - "Are You Ready for Freddy?"

80's Movie Weekend - Feel the Krush

Thought this would be a fitting movie flashback since we are in a "LL Cool January" featuring the best of LL Cool J... from 1985, this is the movie based upon the early days of Def Jam recordings and the up and coming producer extraordinnaire, Russell Simmons... it is "Krush Groove"...


from "Krush Groove" here is LL and he can't live without his radio...

All You Can Eat by the Fat Boys... gonna stuff my face to a funky beat!



here are the Beastie Boys making an appearance with "She's On It"...



this song wasn't on the soundtrack, but was a big hit for Sheila E.... here is Run-DMC "discovering" Sheila E. as she performs "A Love Bizarre" with Prince on backing vocals...



probably the biggest hit from the Krush Groove Soundtrack included this pop hit from the doo wop group from New York known as The Force M.D.'s and "Tender Love"...
