First You Need, Then You Bleed

A very happy rockin' Friday to ya! I still have today's hit rock song on a cassette tape somewhere in my attic, because I remember wearing this song out in my '84 Camaro cruising the mean streets of Norman, Oklahoma. Sam Kinison makes an appearance at the beginning of the video and all the fans film their own Bon Jovi video in what is one of the better Bon Jovi videos in my opinion. Here are the boys from New Jersey with their 1988 #1 hit "Bad Medicine"...

When I Kiss You I Can Taste What Other Men Had for Lunch!

We had one "Wild Thing" on Tuesday, and here's another totally opposite one today. This video was a classic staple on MTV for quite a while after it came out. There was no comedian more popular for a short time than Sam Kinison. In 1988, he came out with this novelty video that covered a 60's song. With a very hot Jessica Hahn rolling around on the floor, the video features cameos from Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Slash, Billy Idol, Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa, Richie Sambora, and Tommy Lee. Here is Sam Kinison's take on a song that went all the way to #1 for an English band called The Troggs in 1966. Originally written and performed in 1965 by a band called The Wild Ones, here is the ex-preacher, now deceased Sam Kinison with "Wild Thing"
