I’m obsessed with this song. I have been for years. And I don’t know why, except to say that… well, sometimes you just need to cut loose, right? Footloose!

But think of all the famous people that were in this movie… John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest, Kevin Bacon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lori Singer…

Oh, wait. Never heard of Lori Singer? That’s okay. She was huge between ‘82 and ‘85. There’s a lot to forget in that period, including ALL THE SHOES IN THIS VIDEO.

The funny thing to me is that she is 50 years old now, and in my head, we’re the same age. Despite the fact that I was 10 when this came out, and she was 26.

And when the heck did Kevin Bacon get to be 50?

I was totally obsessed with these cats as a kid. Not in French, mind you, but hey… it feels more “cultured” to watch fluffy kittens play with toilet tissue if you do it bilingually.

Update: Voting has closed! Thanks for all your support and for putting up with my needy, clingy honour-student award poking.

I’m not sure when category results will be in, since they’ve oddly decided to stretch out the award giving over a week (ostensibly to give each category 15 extra minutes of fame, but I think mostly just to try and make everyone with OCD rock quietly in their chairs.)
