With A Little Help From Above, I May Be Able To Get This Song Out Of My Head
For the past five hours, a piece of music has been lodged in my brain so firmly that nothing I listen to–not even the theme to Hawaii Five-O, which is the ultimate music-eraser–has managed to stop it from looping in my head. And since it’s Friday and I, too, am all about spreading the love, I present its video–the extended movie tie-in version, even!–to you in the hopes that you will not only share in my pain, you’ll help me find something that will knock it out of my mind. It can even be a worse song! Just please, send help fast.
Yes. “The Power Of Love.” (Actually it’s more like the bridge of the song, when the band goes into the key change, but let’s not quibble.) Why? I have no idea. Maybe Back To The Future was on my TV as I fitfully slept in front of it last night. Maybe this is my brain reminding me to call my friend whose New Year’s resolution was to karaoke every song on Sports. (Hi Dan!) Maybe I’m actually having a premonition, and the Gym Class Heroes are going to use it as the hook for their next hits-of-my-youth-biting single. Maybe my seemingly mild hangover from last night’s drink tickets is actually manifesting itself in a really, really, really evil way. Whatever the reason, I am very unhappy right now, although I would like to note that Christopher Lloyd’s performance in the above clip totally foreshadowed his DirecTV shilling some 22 years later.
