What can we possibly say as a preface that would do it justice?
Happy Friday, everyone…!
P.S. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Head over here for more…if you dare!!!

No one, but no one, made videos that were more fun than Madness’ vids from the early ’80s. Even better, you could tell that they were having just as much fun making them. You can keep the lightning-quick edit fests of today. Give me fun over stylish any day of the week.
What is it with white kids living in suburbia who want to be badass gangsta rappers? Well, here we have YouTube “director” Gangsta Elijah trying to look tough in his parents’ pad while rapping about how tough he is and how much ass he gets/ When he takes a soft tortilla and tears it in half, then takes a vicious bite out of it while threatening his hatas (that’s “haters” for you not versed in street lingo), there’s no coming back. Negative 50 stars out of five, Elijah. The dude has 14 videos to peruse, however. Watch and become bewildered. Enjoy “If you Step Up” for now.
Dear God, this was really released? Sometimes I’m glad I’m not in touch with the crazy kids. Here is “That’s How I Beat Shaq.” Jesus, take me away!
I really wanted to include the actual video for this song, since it was right next to Berlin’s “The Metro” in terms of the sexual awakening of this particular writer, but it appears that Tracey’s former label is playing hardball with YouTube and will not let them show any of her videos. I could go on for hours about how ridiculous that is, but people far more eloquent than I am have already done so. Read them instead, then come back to me when you’re jonesing for ’60s girl pop done ’80s style.
For anyone who wasn’t of a certain age when this album broke, you might be shocked to learn that Tracey Ullman was a smokin’ babe when her record You Broke My Heart in Seventeen Places came out. But a smokin’ babe she was, and you’ll have to “settle” for her with teased hair in a leather mini-skirt than in ’60s go-go gear. Call it a win-win.
Warning: this link may be dead seconds from now. Tracey’s label seems to be extra-vigilant about a record that’s been out of print for over two decades. Go figure.
