This week's video is not "forgotten" for me, because I had never heard of it in the first place. I just discovered it recently along with my new TV obsession, Freaks and Geeks, as it was featured prominently in the series finale. Carrying on the disco theme from last week's vids, this is Heatwave's "Groove Line."
In the F&G commentary, creator Paul Feig said that he was trying to prove to all the naysayers that there really were some good disco songs, and "Groove Line," one of his favorite songs of all-time, was his example. I have to say, it's a pretty damn good example, even if it is a little more funk than disco. I guess that's why it's so awesome. I can't believe that I'd never heard of this band or song before. I haven't been able to get the tune out of my head for days.
The video is just one of those straight-ahead performance pieces, but it's still pretty entertaining. I mean, I thought Nick Andopolis had some smooth moves, but this choreography is pretty groovy, baby. And I love how happy the guy in black is to be singing. I love the costumes, too. Although, the guy in peach? Good Lord, those pants are just obscene. I'll bet any money that he was rendered sterile during this video shoot.

I, on the other hand, did attend with a gazillion other comic book nerds. I'm unhappy to report that the movie is a disappointment, but you will be very happy to hear that there are lots of gratuitious shots of Hugh Jackman shirtless and even a few of him completely nekkid (no full frontal without some CGI touch-ups to preserve the PG-13 rating).
If I were a heterosexual female or curious/mildly-confused about my own sexual preferences, I'd have felt a little tingly at several points during the movie.
Did you ever read Paul Feig's book "Superstud"? It's pretty good and I found a lot to identify with. However, you would probably identify with it less, being a girl and all.
Brings back many memories of my pre-pubescent years at "kiddie discoteques".
Good times.
It's pretty funky.
It made me happy in my pants.
