Billy Idol ripped off Dammit Janet.

I can't find video of Richard O'Brien's Dammit Janet [Rocky Horror Picture Show, 1975], but I found Billy Idol's White Wedding (1982). All the weirdos in the church, plus the juxtaposition of coffins and marriage, made me think of Dammit Janet. Billy Idol does an interesting job of fusing both the Brad and the Frank characters in this video...mostly Frank, given the vamping. It is also possible that he is a vampire, although I may be anachronistically projecting from a certain vampiric character [Spike in BTVS] that clearly ripped off his look.

...Wow, Billy Idol remade Mony Mony? All I've heard is the original. Maybe I need to investigate his sneer hair washboard abs music some more.

Today's New Wave comments: Dancing With Myself is about masturbation. Safety Dance, besides being about safe sex, is the least interesting Men Without Hats song ever. In comparison to the rest of their thoughtful, poppy, odd oeuvre, it's dull and predictable.

Playscale Minis...

...parts out Rements. That is all.
