I’m not quite sure how my brain does these things to me while I am asleep but, I love it. This morning I woke up with not just a song in my head but a music video. Motley Crue’s “Wild Side” from 1987’s Girls, Girls, Girls was the song and video. I still remember being a little kid and seeing this video on MTV. Filmed at a live show and features Tommy Lee playing drums upside down and rotating. How can you not think that was cool back in the day?! Tommy is still a badass on the drums and I’ve always thought was the secret sauce of Motley. As of this writing, the “Wild Side” video has over 42 million plays and on a cool note, was one of MTV’s most played videos of the time. Motley Crue is one of the bands that represents the epitome of the 80’s rock scene, especially the “glam” side of the time. I was a giant Motley fan when I was a little kid. I still do enjoy some of their songs and they did make some great videos back in the day.
