Tia - Boy Toy (1986) (yes, the real video!)

Tia is a very talented vocalist from Long Island who started out her music career as a Madonna-type pop-dance artist. This particular song was a top-10 club hit for her in late '86 that also crossed over to the pop chart. She also had other singles out like "Cupid," "Baby Talk" (originally by Alisha), and "Sugar Baby." These days, she's a rock singer, having worked with New York bands like BlueScream and SukkerPunch. At the end of this video, you can see a pic of me with Tia in 2006. "Toy Boy" was written by Roy Be, Jim Cohn, and C. Burbank. Produced by Roy Be, Jim Cohn, and Charles Ibgui. --Justin Kantor

OMG....What a blast from the past. I forgot all about this video until a friend sent it to me through Facebook. I Am Boy Toy....Haha. I had totally forgotten Tia, Jimmy and I made this in 1986 and I laughed so hard when I saw it now. I think Ben Stiller stole Blue Steel from me.

@MrSkymick Hey that's cool! How did you end up getting the part? By the way, if you watch till the very end, there is a photo of me and Tia from 2006. She is still making music (hard-edged rock) and is a really cool gal!

[Orly1964]

What does she say in the beginning of the song? i think its Love me or something like that?

[retrorhythms]

@Orly1964 Yes, "La-la-la-la-la-la-la, love me!"

@lennyhipp Yes, I've heard some of her recent rock material. She's still got a great voice. I know, it's hard to believe she's the same person! (There's a pic of me and her from 2006 at the end of this video.)
