I wasn’t “today years old” when I found this out, but it wasn’t that long ago. Their voices are district once you know, but they are similar enough that you and I didn’t catch on. Three that I would have sworn were Ric Ocasek but were actually Orr are “Bye Bye Love”, “Drive”, and “Just What I Needed”.
I only read as far as “first music video” before my brain served up the first video on MTV, “Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star.”
Haha yeah Innerspace! I haven’t thought about that movie in a long time!
Everybody, won’t you just get a Luden?
I always liked this one from Peter Pan:
Ohhhh! A pirate’s life is a wonderful life
A-rovin’ over the sea
Give me a career as a buccaneer
As the life of a pirate for me
Ohhhh! The life of a pirate for me
Ohhhh! A pirate’s life is a wonderful life
They never bury your bones
For when it’s all over, a jolly sea rover
Drops in on his friend Davy Jones
Ohhhh! His very good friend Davy Jones
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
You’ll find adventure and sport
But live every minute for all that is in it
The life of a pirate is short
Ohh, the life of a pirate is short
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
Without a care to behold
You carry a gun and a jug of rum
And your pockets are loaded with gold
Oh! Your pockets are loaded with gold
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
“But not forever,” they say
When your neck’s in a noose and you can’t get loose
For the life of a pirate you’ll pay
Ohh, the life of a pirate you’ll pay
Ohh, a pirate’s life is a wonderful life
Without a care to behold
You dig for pleasure to find some treasure
Your pockets are loaded with gold
Oh! Your pockets are loaded with gold
