Swing Out Sister - “Breakout” (4.1MB mpe file)
Although I was just 7 years old when this song was a hit, I was obsessed with the video, as I thought the lead singer was one of the most beautiful women I’d ever seen. (A few years later, I also thought she was the chick in the Exclamation perfume commercials, but I was wrong.)
I love this song and think it’s an irrefutable jam, but after all these years I still think about this video at least once a month, and also seriously entertain (with absolutely zero irony, I assure you) the possibility of trying to bring back this look. If I had flawless skin/teeth/lips like this lady, I’d be getting that blunt cut and constantly rocking red lipstick in a heartbeat, no joke.
And here’s some mind-blowin’ shit for you: When I got older and got into “cooler” (although that’s up for debate) stuff, I found out that the two dudes in this band used to be in A Certain Ratio and Magazine, respectively. WHAT! I know, right?
Songs That Saved Your Life
don't forget the songs
that made you cry
and the songs that saved your life
yes, you're older now
and you're a clever swine
but they were the only ones who ever stood by you
