Tell Me What's the Word

The word, of course, is Word Up! by Cameo, and it's what I was listening to on Jack.FM in the car. And since who couldn't use a little funk with some power brass on a hot Sunday afternoon, here it is. Yes, chiclets, this is what a lot of kids who used to be your age were dancing to in the '80s.

And yes, that's Geordi LaForge (heh) as the police detective.

Is there any 80s funk groove not improved by the appearance of a red codpiece?

LOLOLOL

I know! I'd never actually seen the video, so I was all "OH WELL OKAY THEN." :D

I was 14 in 1986, and I did see this video, and let me tell you, I was scandalized. And offended. And I hated, hated, hated this song because it was just about SEX and RANDOM HOOKUPS and I took all that sort of thing Very Seriously then.

Now I just wanna dance to it, and am secure in knowing that it will not in fact corrupt my impressionable young mind.

:-D

Lord, I remember being Very Serious at about that age. Things are so much more fun now.
