The Hooters

The other day I landed upon the video for "Day by Day" on VH1 Classic, and decided you know what, FUCK CONFORMITY!! and decided that I liked it more than "And We Danced." My Martin Luther moment, one may say.

Of course, I just listened to "And We Danced" and, what do you know, I was wrong.

So of course I YouTube the video, which I prolly saw a million times 20 years ago buty ain't seen it since. For instance, I do not remember this incongruous/nonsequitus/reggietheus intro to the video. What the fuck - who's the wizard behind this one?

"Allllllright guys, so it'll be a big ol' country fair, the Hooters come in and sing their hearts out, everyone's having a great time."
"Meanwhile Jack, let's have a shy, awkward teen love interest with one of the corn dog guys."
"Good one Jeff. Can we make her fat? She is eating corn dogs after all."
"You got it Jack."
"Okay guys, thanks a lot, let's make this happen. Oh, and one more thing - before the real video starts, lets have a 20-second bit with a random car pulling up on the side of the road and throwing some guy in the trunk of their car and driving off. Then, cue the Hooters gang rocking out."
"Hey Jack, the main kidnapper should be a big black guy."
"Shimmy, you're the best in the business and everybody knows it - guys, make it happen. Meeting's over."
"Thanks Jack!" (chorus)
"Let's bounce!"

And hey, kudos for The Hooters accepting the gay kid from Who's the Boss? into the band on keys. Ahead of your time as usual, guys.
