Doing Things Wrong

One More Charlie Murphy Video

... and it damn sure wasn't the men's department.

Oh what the heck, I put his other videos on the Superfreak page, this one is even better.

The blonde in the 1999 video is Jill Jones. Prince had a habit of producing records for his proteges and giving away songs, he was actually very generous that way. Among other things, he wrote the Bangles' Manic Monday. This video has a very 1950s Italian feel.

Most people regard The Knack as a novelty act - My Sharona and little more. The truth is, they were a really great band that deserved a lot more respect than they got. Watch this show at Carnegie Hall in 1979 - they are note-perfect and tight. It starts with one of my favorites - Rave Up - a real barn-burner. Load the video in YouTube for the rest of the show.
