Here’s youtube with Earth Wind & Fire soundtrack sent to me today made by a friend of mine. Looks like it took a lot of work. Not something I’ll ever attempt. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jASGCuJMvEQ](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jASGCuJMvEQ) ---

[QUOTE=FriarTed] A couple weeks ago, my 25yo galpal & I were watching Pat Benatar’s “Love is A Battlefield” video on YouTube. Ah, the glorious story of a young runaway-turned-hooker, um, “dance girl” leading her fellow hookers, um, “dance girls” into breaking free of their pimp, um, “dance manager” through using, what else?, the power of DANCE! Especially dance in which they shake their chests at him! Go, go Gadget Boobs! [/QUOTE] This always cracked me up. Yes, puny males are POWERLESS against the sight of shaking tits. Makes them all weak kneed and helpless. Men are intimidated by women shaking their tits at the men. And girls shaking their tits at a guy will make him respect them as people. ---

Well, I know that several of the women in that video scared the shit out of me… Frightened Weird Al too, because he named Pat Benetar’s breasts “Scariest Body Parts in a Music Video” during his first Al-TV show. ---
