There was not one dancer at the SDC last night wearing a red codpiece. Shame.

Mr. Lemony & I got married in 1986 and played this song at the reception. Our friends wentnuts and our parents' friends left. That's when the party really started.

Although my fondness for this particular song goes waaaaay back, I don't think I've ever seen the video.

I am now transfixed, nay, mesmerised with the red leather jock strap worn OVER the pants.

It is pure genious.

I was 13.

I, too, was 13 and loved this song. 8th grade was perfect for the "new" MTV and we loved it.

Now, I'll have this in my head all day.

I, too, was 13 in '86. Oh the memories this song brings back.

That codpiece? Stunning. (What the hell was he thinking?)

I liked everything about the video BUT the codpiece (good thing it had a name..i would have called it a "cup").
