Forgotten Classic Video of the Week

My roommate's sister is in town, so we've decided to take her to The Pyramid Club's Thursday night '80s dance party. Of course, most of the people who go there aren't old enough to remember much of the early '90s, let alone any of the '80s, so there's a good chance that the evening could end with me drunkenly splayed out on the sidewalk, crying about how old I am. Or maybe I will be too drunk to care. Either way, I can guarantee you that "drunk" will be part of the equation.

I know it seems strange that I would post a '90s video on '80s Night, but I randomly came across this song today and was immediately transported back to my early-to-mid-20s dance hall days. I haven't been dancing in a while, so I need a song like this to help me remember all of my best white girl moves. You're all welcome to spastically jerk along with me to Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack."



And actually, this video does have an '80s connection, because the song samples the beat of Tom Tom Club's "Genius of Love," which has been mercilessly ripped off by everyone from Tupac to Mariah Carey.
