FILE UNDER: A Moment of Clarity./This is how we do it.
See, this is why Pop Up Video needs to come back to tv. Where else could I have learned that the following song was nominated for an Oscar?
Unfortunately, it lost, but all is understood when you take a look at the mid 80's movie jams it was up against.
The nominess for Best Original Song (1984) are:
"Against All Odds" - Music and lyrics: Phil Collins
"Footloose" – Music and lyrics: Kenny Loggins
and Dean Pitchford
"Let's Hear It for the Boy" – Music and lyrics: Tom Snow and Dean Pitchford
And, "I Just Called to Say I Love You" – Music and lyrics: Stevie Wonder
[ED.'S NOTE: I love me some Stevie Wonder, but what the fuck was up with that video?]
Can you guess the winner? I'll give you a hint. He recently wrote a nice blurb on Mariah Carey for Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People issue.
