I wonder if you have to be a certain age to enjoy this. I thought my Classic Rock Kid might. He does like Metallica and has Enter Sandman on his iPod. His response when this was done:

Or is it simply the serious music/80s love going on? I wish FOX wasn’t being so stingy with videos. (Watch as I renew my grudge against FOX.)

But the extended trailer has a bit of the performance for Don’t Stop Believin’:

Well, it seems Blogger is behaving badly and we’re having a few technical difficulties with the blog tour. So, in the meantime, we’ve a another musical interlude for you.

Hey, you knew we were going to post this at some point. Enjoy the 80s love.

Note: The outfits in this video are not unlike the one I wore back in the day.

Interesting (and short) documentary gem about the song. Learn why Toni insisted on using real cheerleaders and why she never had another hit song.
