I found him only because someone told me to look him up if I wanted good music. Now I've been happily listening to over an hour's worth of his songs. Anyone one want to tell me of more excellent music feel free. ;)
I've played this role many times in my life. The worst was when this song was playing in '82. But with time, the healing process takes less time. The last time was in '08. It only took about a month, even though the girl was a knockout.
I once had a run-in with a major player. He told me that I could stop by & see him any time, so one day after work I did. He was there with some other woman & he acted like he didn't know me. "How do I know you?" he asked. I was thinking "Gee, I don't know, maybe from sitting on your...!" , but I didn't say it. Instead I said "I must have the wrong house!" & left. When I started my car "Don't Talk to Strangers" was playing! I burst into laughter! Thanks a lot Rick! Now you tell me...!!!
I wish the audio quality was up to the level of the track's quality; That stated, I liked this tune of Rick's better that"Jessie's Girl";I liked the fact that he infused his dramatic flair into the performance, which is something you don't see these days. Nice job, Rick!
@prowresler No Glee does not if Glee does a cover of any of Rick Springfield's songs that just ruins everything. So no Glee better not because Glee ruins everything.
Gee, I miss all these songs. I grew up with this. I love Ya Rick Springfield. Wow, time flies. Boy I had such a crush on you growing up. My wall plastered with posters. LOL. and almost all the albums. I promise. LOL
@foghat222 so did i i went through the hole mob scene to. i was this _ close to him.after that i couldn't breath i felt like i was going to pass out hen i started crying.so i think it was pretty good night! lol
I used to wait around as a little kid for MTV to play this video, watching it now I never realized how creepy it is. Rick is feeling up some woman under a table then is spying on her and crashes through the window. Call the cops.
I remember watching Kids Incorporated when I was little, and they did this song.. I really didn't know that Rick Springfield did this song, but I started to look him up and found it...I was like hey its that Kids Incorporated song lol Hey I was real little in the 80's
@VideoSmarts1 Hey, that sounds like an idea. Maybe he should re-make the song and change it's premise and be about a man lecturing his daughter with a cautionary tale about her big sister, something a little darker than what the original premise was. How does that sound?
I seen in concert on March 26, 2011 Great performance on this song. The 80's really had the music. Now in 2011 there;s Lady gaga, Justin Bieber, people like that. Its good to have heros, people to look up too. For me, I listen to songs like this because I can.
One thing that needs to be said....Rick Springfield was not a "kids" star like Beiber is. Springfield's fan base was dominated by 20-30 year olds. A pretty significant difference. I was there. Trust me.
@TakeYourStinkingPaws that is SOO true,im not an 80s kid (wish i was) but i see how my mum knows him and stll listens to him even my grandma likes him .. but todays music..kinda sucks..and its not about justin or gaga...its just ..people then made music that actually had a meaning,deeper than a cool girl,sexual attractions and heartbreaks ...it was just about music..now its all about money .. :/
who's being mean... it's the truth. You cannot compare Justin Beiber to Rick Springifled, in ANY WAY. I think it's a shame that there's not a lot for the kids to CHOOSE from... there's a short supply of young talent, period.
This reminds of a time when EVERYTHING was so innocent... the 80s of course... and fun! Even though the lyrics were not, this song represents a time for me. A time I miss so much I can hardly stand it. I want to go back and let those times freeze forever. Sigh... God please let us go back!!!
I love the '80s aesthetics -- silhouettes, long shadows, long legs, high heels, silk stockings. LOL. You won't see any of these in today's videos...not "PC."
@crashk88 Judgmental much? Everyone's got their demons.. few people have the nerve to be honest about them. Oh yeah.. your demon is cowardice - hope your son looks up to a spirited aunt with some spine. Kudos Richard - you are not alone.
and because you are so egotistical...i am using my sons you tube account....you could only wish you met me.....yuck!!! no thanks...oh and thank you for ruining my teenage dream about you..nice book...NOT!
