You Can’t Touch a Flame When it’s Red Hot!!!
The above video might be the best/worst music video in the history of the World. A friend/potential rival showed this to me recently and I immediately knew it was blog worthy. Watch in awe as the 1988 Calgary Flames lip sync their way through one of the gayest songs ever written by someone other than Boy George. Seriously though who in their right mind thought this was a good idea??? Don’t say it was for charity either because that provides an excuse for the first thirty seconds…maybe.
Most of these guys are seriously lucky that they retired before Youtube hit. They would have had alot of problems finding a job if they played about 20 years later. Then again no one would have made this video in 2008. Which is a shame because it might have given Patrick Kane an outlet to get out all the insane aggression required to punch a cabbie in the face over $0.20.
Some Highlights: In Chronological Order
1. Lanny McDonald molesting the microphone with his moustache. (0:53)
2. A young Brett Hull showing he might have had a serious career as an air band performer if not for that wrist shot. (1:05)
3. Mike Vernon showing everyone he not only used to stop pucks but also women in their tracks. (1:12)
4. Al Macinnis imagining a world with Youtube and doing the best job he can to keep his future wife from leaving him. (1:50 in the background)
5. Boyish Gary Roberts doing a pre ‘N Sync Lance Bass impression. Seriously though that hand movement….wtf??? (2:47)
6. I don’t know who this guy is but he is giving it!!!! (The chorus…both times…big moustache)
7. Yet another no name but wearing some sort of weird makeup and with doll eyes*
* When I say doll eyes I don’t mean it the way Frank Sinatra might have meant it. I mean the dude literally has the eyes you see on Cabbage Patch Dolls.
Best Youtube Comment:
“This reminds me of the Super Bowl Shuffle, only gayer and with a bunch of losers.”
