First Cheap Trick song I'd ever heard, haven't heard it since the movie came out. still just as awesome now as it was back then. Cheap Trick is such an under-rated band.
it's surprising reading the comments that Rick thinks this the worst song they ever written (Ride the Pony, anybody?). I really like this song and have a friend who just loves it.
I was a PA on this video! Since I was a girl, I had the duty of talking the girls into taking their tops off because when we hired them, we told them they were only going to have to wear bikinis! It wasn't until the last minute everyone decided that making an r rated version would also be cool and maybe Playboy or someone would buy it. I think I finally negociated (spelling, I know) an extra hundred to each out of petty cash to do it. Captinzander is right! I wonder if I know him. Hmmm.
@Pondermom Coolness that you got to work with CT on the set of this wacky fun video in 1984 (one of my most fav songs from the Jon Brandt years!) Heck, this vid could've been G-rated and it wouldn't have disappointed me in the least since Robin, Rick, BunE, Tom, and/or Jon are pure unadulterated magic when they play (with humble hearts & spirits to match)......but sometimes a little eye-candy can make things a wee bit sweeter every now -n- then :)
I guess CT has not totally disowned this song to keep it in their channel... Neilsen has said it was just written to make a buck, he doesn't like it at all. I really don't think it's any worse than much of what did make it onto the radio in the 80s, though
The flick came out around 1984 and starred Tim Matheson and Jennifer Runyon.... I had a video off cable TV years ago........ I'd like cable to air that on Cinemax or Encore......
Great flick Porky's meet Animal House. one of many Cheap Trick sound track songs that no one has ever heard of. Up the Creek from Up the creek,Roadie(everything work if you let it),Heavy Metal(Reach out and I must be dreamin), Top Gun(mighty wings), Transformer 2(Fallen) and of course The theme song from that's 70's Show
Wow, surprised to see so many fans of this song. Even Rick says it's the worst one he's ever written. AMAZING band, hilariously bad 80s video. And a topless Bun E? Double wow on that...(Let me make one thing clear, Bun E is a GOD. Just don't need to see him topless is all)
Love the song (Maybe my favorite Cheap Trick tune), love the movie! Animal House on the river. Stephen Furst finally getting to play the Belushi part. I think this is actually a pretty underrated song. Thank God it's here. Cheers.
A great underated Cheap Trick film tune and video! I wish they would do a compilation or boxset of great stuff like this (soundtrack songs)etc. that didn't make it onto any of their albums!
this beginning is sooo... vintage retro with that dog and all! man i really wanna see this movie but if i cant see purple rain then y should i be able to see this... o and this video kinda scares me.... i almost feel sorry for those girls at 1:24 to 1:28..
I have a tape of this video, only It is the R rated version. wherever the girls are in it, they don't have their tops on. Bun E sure looks a lot happier in the pool in that one!
@soccershorti717. What's to get? It's Cheap Trick. They didn't have to make sense in their videos. They just made music based on a great sound,great lyrics and having fun! One of my all-time favorite bands then and now!
One my all time favorite lost classics !!!!! Still have the soundtrack on cassette. I just wished they would take this song out of the vaults and played it live again.
=^o.o^= Was watching this video good for you as it was just as good for me?
"No. It was better." =D
