Forgotten Classic Video of the Week

This week's video is for all of you folks out there who often wonder, "What kind of wonderful world would it be if there were more than one Leo Sayer?" Well, unless he's cast in Multiplicity II or cloned for realz, this rare clip provides us with our only glimpse into such a Utopian universe.

It also reminds us all, again, that white men can't dance. Not even with the help of a giant afro. In fact, that giant brillo pad on his head hurts more than it helps. (How many times do I have to tell these crackers that Lindsey Buckingham is the only one who can successfully pull off the white man 'fro?)

Upon watching this again, I'd really like to know who the "you" was in "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing." Whoever YOU are, YOU need to be slapped. See what YOU put us all through?? This video perfectly illustrates why you shouldn't always do what you feel.



While the visuals are lame, this is a damn catchy song. If you don't think so, blame my BFF, Angela, who requested it. I'm not sure what prompted her to do so. I think she had an erotic dream in which she was using Leo as a loofah.


Leo sez..."Don't forget to take the lyrics quiz! Scroll down!"

Beckeye, you got a sweet way of bloggin'.

Two modifications to your commentary:

(1) Some white men CAN dance. Case in point: Christopher Walken.

(2) At least one other white man could pull off the fro: Justin Timberlake. Look for it.

Miss Beckeye, it would probably be best if I don't say anything about Leo Sayer. You seem to be familiar with Beth at Cup of Coffey. Maybe she can help you with your taste in music, yes?

That song makes me remember why I tried to forget as much as I could about the 70s.

White men should never do a fro...Don Henley of Eagles fame sported a pretty fluffy one as well.

Awesome song. I also like to think you, beckeye, were the "you" in that song.

If Richard Simmons, Bobby Bitman's brother (I forget his name right now) and Mark Walburg (as the Dick Diggler) had a baby the little tike's name would be Leo Sayer
This song makes me feel like not listening to this song.

Sometimes I think you really do want to hurt me.

I can't watch the video because I will never dance again if I do. Maybe I should watch the video.

I took the lyrics quiz, and Leo didn't have to make me feel like dancing to do it.

Justin Guarini can also rock the 'fro.
