I'll be seriously worried if anyone gets this on the first clue.

I never realized how many of these videos started out with teenage boys alone in their bedrooms. |

I know, I know -- so it's Lionel Richie, "Say You, Say Me"?
(Or "All Night Long" - the only two annoying LR songs I can remember from the 80s.) |

Is that DeBarge up there in the convertible? I have no idea what the song is, but that really looks like DeBarge to me!
And is the robot guy underneath DeBarge from the video for "Domo Arigato" by Styx?
Highly, highly enjoyable game! |

Very good. And what a totally bizarre video. Glowing eyes, ninjas, acrobats, fencers, a gothic church, flying altar boys (also with glowing eyes), swimmers--and a lot of wind, her hair is just all over the place.
Speaking of things that probably sounded like a good idea at the time...

God, the pitch to Wang Chung must have amazing...
Yeah, and then the big disco ball falls on to the dance floor and, like a person, like, the spirit of the dance, breaks out of the disco ball like it's an egg and-get this--is like, a human disco ball, you know, all covered with little mirrors and then starts dancing...

Actually, I had a brain freeze. That was meant to be a clue (based on your avatar), but I screwed it up. That actress isn't mentioned in the song. |

Like his great great grandfather, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the German poet who penned "Faust", Bertie Higgins is a storyteller. He was born Elbert Joseph Higgins of Portuguese, Irish and German descent and raised in the picturesque Greek community of Tarpon Springs, Florida. Bertie is an intellectual romantic who loves to paint story songs about living and loving in a tropical paradise.
His love songs explore the efforts of man trying to fathom the mystery and allure of woman. His fantasy songs deal with the beauty and sensuality of the tropics and his story songs combine past experiences and future hopes. The resounding theme throughout Bertie's work: "Make the best of today lest tomorrow never comes".
Bertie, who once supported himself as a sponge diver, began his career in show business at the age of twelve as a ventriloquist. He won top prizes in local talent contests and became a favorite at school assemblies and clubs around Tampa Bay. Two years later, a battered set of drums forced a career change and Bertie set off to follow the back beat heard around the world -- Rock and Roll.

TomD, I have one question:
How does one support oneself as a sponge diver????
Has he had any other hits?
(Oh, that's two questions.) |

I imagine by diving for, and then, presumably, selling...sponges.
I don't know any of his other songs, but one is called "Casablanca" and I imagine if that had been a big hit we would have evenually heard songs called "The Caine Mutiny" and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre". |

Not to mention "African Queen".
I guess there's a bigger market for sponges retrieved by diving than I realized.  |
