The start of President’s Day weekend is just hours away, but before I can even begin to think about childproofing my apartment in anticipation of my two-year-old nephew Luke coming for a visit — last time around, the little imp went straight for the kitchen knives on our windowsill — there’s a long and beastly workday to get through. Clearly, this situation calls for a dose of Miss Jody Watley, in the form of her 1989 video for "Real Love." Aside from that late-80s technique of flashing key lyrics on the screen, I’d say this one holds up pretty well (work that massive, feather-fringed on the runway, Jody!). So quit trying to resist, and press play. Before you know it, you’ll be four minutes closer to sliding down the dinosaur’s tail!

Jodie has a website and she’s on myspace. She’s working in Europe & Asia and looks the same. She was big before Janet & Britney.
That was a fun little pick-me-up. I’m dragging today. TGIF!
She so deserved that Best New Artist Grammy. Great Song!! Don’t forget about “Don’t You Want Me” That was the jam too!!
I’m sorry but… Jody Watley?!? If you were to play all her top 40 hits simultaneously, there is very little difference among any of them. Same range, same notes, same beats, same synthesizers. You could practically sing the lyrics to “Don’t You Want Me” with the melody of “Some Kind of Lover”. These songs were all on the same key.
From the looks of things, Rihanna watches this on an endless loop about ten hours a day.
Oh, snap! I can’t get past the Top Doll jump because there is a word or phrase that is banned by my work’s filter! Fudge! Slezak, can you hear me? Slezak, can you see me? Slezak can you find me in the . . . comment section? Sigh…. I guess it can wait until I get home tonight.
That was a refreshing break. Now if only I had next Monday off… *self-pitying sniff*
Next time you need a workday break and you want to relive some great 80’s music, attach the video for “Take on Me.” I love that one!
Didn’t Jody Watley come out a few years ago? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Sle, get some toys from the $1 store for your nephew. That’ll keep him distracted enough not to touch your NSFK (Not Safe for Kids) gear.
Whatever happened to Jody Watley?
