Mid-Weeks 80's

THE MOVIES. THE MUSIC WITHIN THE MOVIES.

Why have I not previously mentioned my favorite nightmare inducing movie (besides Dumbo) - Labyrnith.

David Bowie - Magic Dance

This video that I found suggests the D Bow God himself spells Cocaine during the song. I can't imagine doing a Magic Dance with ugly puppets without cocaine, so I'm guessing he was just mid-take and was signaling the movie staff for more of that sweet stuff.



What else can I talk about from my childhood?

The Blues Brothers.

Shit my Dad loved this movie. And us folk in Australia did not know what Saturday Night Live was, so I think it was our first introduction to the Blues Brothers duo. Now when I watch this movie I just want to drive a car through a mall and scare those regular peoples.

Blues Brothers - Twist It

I love this dance. I don't know why it isn't a institutionalized wedding reception dance like the god-awful chicken dance.



Also: Aretha Franklin then (Think)



Aretha Franklin now:



In case you haven't noticed, this post has nothing to do with electrobitches.

OR DOES IT?

Weird Science

A real electrobitch. As in. That bitch was a robot.



Eh. Clearly I could do this all day. Listing movies that I like and the music from them. But at some point I have to pretend to work at my job. I encourage the other EB contributors to play along.

Happy Retro Wednesday.
