It's been a while since we played Ms Scarlet's attempted meme-y-thingy™ #adecadeago - but, having spotted the fact that someone called Corey Hart is 60 today led me to (once again) look up who he is/was, and lo and behold, I remembered that I had posted the following for his 50th...
It's a dull day for birthdays, I thought, when the most famous 50-year-old today is a Mr Corey Hart (who?).
Until, that is, I realised that his greatest (only?) hit was Sunglasses at Night - and that gives me a perfect excuse to play this brilliant version by (house fave here at Dolores Delargo Towers) Tiga (and Zyntherius), featuring the magnificent Amanda Lepore!
I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes
While she's deceiving me
It cuts my security has
She got control of me
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no
I can't believe it!
Cuz you got it made with the guy in shades oh no
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Forget my name while you collect your claim
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
See the light that's right before my eyes
While she's deceiving me
She cuts my security
Has she got control of me
I turn to her and say
Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades oh no
Don't masquerade with the guy in shades oh no
I can't believe it!
'Cuz you got it made with the guy in shades oh no
'Cuz you got it made with the guy in shades oh no
Oh I say I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I say it to you now
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
I cry to you
I wear my sunglasses at night
I wear my sunglasses at night
Cooler than a penguin's testicles!
...and remains so, even in 2022.
I had forgotten all about this song. He was 19 (and looked it) at the time.
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean Mr Hart, and not Miss Lepore..? 😁
DeleteAs I said in the post, the former is a complete unknown to me. Jx
Yes, I meant Corey Hart. Amanda is still 19, isn’t she?
DeleteOnly round the lips, dear. Jx
DeleteI really ought to have a look and see what I was doing a decade ago.... I don't remember this tune.

This version of the song actually dates from 2001 - twenty-one years ago! - so you are forgiven for not immediately recalling it, Ms Scarlet...
DeleteHowever, I do look forward to some decade-old reminisces! Jx
