Hi guys, I’m trying to think of who does a song.
It starts with," Rocking the night. Walking on air. Gonna fine me some ( not sure what is said here).
’ Gonna grab me my share.
The other lines I remember are," Take me in your arms. Roll me to the right. Take me into your heart. Rock me tonight"
Does anyone have any idea who does this?
Billy Squier.
Actually, when I see that screenshot, I remember hearing that this video killed his career because the pink tank top and odd dance moves made people think he was gay.
That’s it, Thanks a lot !
Plus “Billy Squier” sounds a lot like “Billy’s queer”.
I think his career actually died because he sucked.
See : Elton John, Freddy Mercury, and David Bowie–they didn’t exactly surprise anyone when they dropped the charade of being at least bi, but they were talented.
On a vaguely related note, I’m trying to remember that rock song that I’m pretty sure mentioned something about a final countdown, or something like that.
He had a few good songs.
I have a fond memory from my radio days, of a couple of us bursting into the DJ’s studio while “The Big Beat” was playing, waving giant beets harvested from my garden.
I was out of line. I try not to bash singers/groups because it really is a personal thing.
But I do also remember feeling like there were an inordinate number of Billys in the MTV rotation at about that time. Idol, Joel, Ocean, Squier…
Watching the beginning of this video, I have a mental record-scratch moment at the “dir. Kenny Ortega” credit, because that guy went on to make the High School Musical movies, among a bunch of other stuff. Small creative world.
