I remember hoping I never got a boyfriend so I could stay home and watch it each week. My parents weren't going to drop cash on cable or one of those high and fancy VCRs! <BR/><BR/>Sharing that just reaffirms how lame I was growing up!for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-22387317302541354422007-07-28T10:23:00.000-04:002007-07-28T10:23:00.000-04:00for a different kind of girl writes:In my assorted...for a different kind of girl <A HREF="http://2amsomewhere.blogspot.com/2007/07/then-and-now.html#4209612347507199855" REL="nofollow">writes</A>:<BR/><BR/><I>In my assorted cassettes is the Paul Young release with this track and "Come Back and Stay" on it.</I><BR/><BR/>Excellent choice! This song brings up memories in its own right. <BR/><BR/>My brother and I probably watched way too much Mtv (and Friday Night Videos) for our own good in the early-to-mid 80s.<BR/><BR/>I remember the <A HREF="http://youtube.com/watch?v=iXxA6pZXleg" REL="nofollow">video </A> for "Come Back and Stay". I believe it depicts Young on a cliff, with choppy ocean waters below. <BR/><BR/>The closeups of Young's singing exhude overwrought emotionalism, prompting my brother and me to liken the performance to the acting of William Shatner.<BR/><BR/>At about the same time we had watched an episode of <I>Late Night with David Letterman</I> doing something with William Shatner's cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."<BR/><BR/>That prompted us to ponder what a William Shatner cover of "Come Back and Stay" would have sounded like. I'm sure it would have involved interjections of "Spock" during the refrain.<BR/><BR/>You're probably cringing in horror at the thought of that right now, aren't you? C'mon admit it.<BR/><BR/>--<BR/>2amsomewhere2amsomewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343733349708172680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278044.post-42096123475071998552007-07-28T01:11:00.000-04:002007-07-28T01:11:00.000-04:00In my assorted cassettes is the Paul Young release...In my assorted cassettes is the Paul Young release with this track and "Come Back and Stay" on it. I still love it, though I've long since upgraded. Enjoy the Springsteen cover, as well.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I didn't release how deep this song had traveled in time.
