Young Turks - Rod Stewart

I LIKE

I luv hearing "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart at work. I had a co-worker at my current job who said it was "her jam". In this stormy cloud of horrible songs raining down on us at work, the once mediocre seems to swell into a surreal greatness. There's many Rod Stewart songs played at work, but unfortunately many many bad ones. This includes the asinine covers he's done over the years. Carole King's "You're So Far Away", Isley Brothers' "This Old Heart Of Mine", etc. There's a contemporary song he's done that's played called "She Makes Me Happy", which unfortunately makes me want to kill myself. It's poorly written, redundant, just boring as hell. What a waste.

I saw the "Pop Up Video" version (unfortunately doesn't seem to be available for viewing online) of "Young Turks" this morning. That's such a great show and it's too bad it's not on anymore, although music videos aren't as widely seen or as important as they used to be. E.G. Daily is in the music video. You may know her best as either the voice of Tommy from Nickelodeon show, "The Rugrats", Pee-Wee Herman's girlfriend Dottie in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" or as the lead singer of the band that plays the dance in "Better Off Dead". She's also one of Julie's friends in the great teen film, "Valley Girl". Russell Mulcahy directed the video and has made tons of music videos and more over the years.
