Donnie Iris - Injured in the game of love

[AndrewWCo]

My second favorite favorite Donnie Iris song ("Agnes" is number one).

[jeff4bucks]

great song, cheesy video- even by mid 80s standards

[dtarbert]

Who plays the TV announcer at the beginning of the video?

[x2bnex2me]

One of my favorite songs for the past 30 years.

[pittnerie07]

Donnie Iris is Originally from Ellwood City

[CharlieNMilo]

Really bad video!

[rody1350]

donnie makes me a stronger man

[RRPounder]

VH1 Classics played this not long ago.

[joepoe1134]

im a beaver falls grad and i love the bf football shirt.

[JunkyardKid]

@joepoe1134 me too! Beer is good, sex is fine, we're the class of '89!

[410missmonkeyful]

@JunkyardKid : more like Ensure is good, Viagra is fine, we're the class (cough!) of '89!

[JunkyardKid]

@410missmonkeyful that was classic.

[Number1Dougster]

I like this song but don't dig the video too much. It's really not choreographed that well and sort of doesn't fit the song.

[felicity4711]

In the boxing helmet, he reminds me of Weird Al in White & Nerdy.

[governorgilf]

I've never heard or seen this before. I'm only familiar with a couple of Donny's songs. I had no idea that's what he looked like. And wasn't that the late football great Lyle Alzado?

[mrbuster4u]

omg I laughed so hard at this. what great memories grew up in neo and was a regular wdve listener and loyal Donnie fan have seen him many times but one of my favorites was a few yrs ago here in cmh at Easton town cnt outside. he still just rocks the crowd

[Braddoc1970]

Isn't that Bob Golic in this video- even Donnie hates the Steelers!!!!

[mattmoo34]

I love this video! My father, Angelo Crimi, played the boxing manager in this! I love Golic in this too!

[Persian83]

Nice Beaver Falls Football hoodie.

[steveironcity]

Christina Aguelera is from Pittsburgh. Shes not fampus either i guess. Or at least not a big as Michael Stanley

[JunkyardKid]

she lived a BRIEF time in ROCHESTER.

[NBFLASH]

Forgot about the group Donnie started in THe Jaggerz. ALL PITTSBURGH. More specifically they were all from Beaver County, PA

[oat324]

Bret Michaels of Poison, Reb Beach of Winger, and Bobby Blotzer of RATT have gotten big. Now in eastern Ohio, Marilyn Manson, Jani Lane from Warrant, Maynard from Tool, Michael Stanley, Eric Carmen, Bone Thugs N Harmony, etc.. Man, Cleveland area does rock and you can see the jealousy of the jackoffs in da Burgh.

[JunkyardKid]

I wonder if the picture in Donnie's locker is of Agnes, Leah, or Marilee?

[RRPounder]

The Povertyneck Hillbillies ALMOST made it.

[RRPounder]

Nobody EVER gets big being from Pittsburgh no matter how talented they are. Just ask Joe Grushecky...The Clarks...Norm Nardini...Rusted Root...The Gathering Field...Brownie Mary....

[JunkyardKid]

amen, brother.

[steveironcity]

Yeah, George Benson, the Vogues, and Lou Christie never got big. Neither Did Bobby Vinton or Perry Como, Right?

[timesguy126]

Oh, Christine Agrulara is from Rochester PA just a few miles outside of Pittsburgh PA.

[eden1963]

What a cute video and song:)

[miracledrug5150]

Donnie must have had piss poor management, he really should have been much more popular.

[jimiamjim]

This song is a stone cold classic, but the video leaves something to be desired.

[FirebirdDude]

i never heard this one before, but they made a music video out of it so it must of been somewhat popular, I love the 80's!

[krashboombang]

Is that Bob Golic, Browns def player making a cameo?

[mredgrrr]

Yep, sure is.

[stickman4u]

Iris rocks! On and on and on and on!!!

[darknessintheheart12]

damn i didnt know how good he was after this song my dad said he was good but not that good im a true pittsburgh patron and im only 15 but im the only one in my family aside from my dads side that talks like true pennsylvanians ynz dahtahn stcian all that

[dougeroonie]

cool deal darkness! You gotta see him in concert. ha, gotta remember that's true "Western Pa" talk. Guys in Philly don't say yinz... I lived in Pgh for 8 years, the "talk" is cool inat' Does he still play out? Might be at a bar though... Dude, keep rockin w/Donnie You listen to WDVE, right? they did some killer comedy skits w/donnie, funny as hell!

[JunkyardKid]

trust me, the ONLY place to see Donnie live is in a crowded bar. I remember this one time, Donnie had to stop talking over the "Here We Go Steelers" cheer.

[JunkyardKid]

Beaver Falls Football? shouldn't that be Ellwood City Football? (I am aware that he lives near Beaver Falls now!)

[scheizzpatz]

[kpaxfaq]

[burnthermit]

Yay. donnie iris took a dump on my toilet once. what an honor

[tenroaches]

Wow. On MTV2. Now MTV is all lousy growly metal, isn't it? Still don't rock as hard as Donnie Iris.
