Waiting For a Girl Like You - Gen-X Tribute to my early crushes

Описание: So I took a couple of big liberties with this video.

First of all, the song, "Waiting For a Girl Like You" by Foreigner may actually be my favourite ballad from the 80's (which means from ever). However, I had read someone saying that if you sped it up 1/4 it sounds like a disco song. Speed it up too much and it sounds like the chipmunks, so tried to find a happy medium. I left the opening and ending at regular tempo. Of course thats only a novelty, the original sounds better, but just trying to do something different here.

Secondly, I didn't always have the typical tastes in women as a youngster. I loved the shiny Daisy Dukes, Catwoman, the more mature ladies of Dynasty, Knots Landing, etc. While I preferred Heather Thomas over Heather Locklear, I also preferred Stefanie Powers from Hart to Hart or Stepfanie Kramer from Hunter over either of them.

While my first crushes were on Daisy Duke and Catwoman, I soon progressed to the 80's and crushed on Kelly LeBrock (of course), but also Elvira, Loni Anderson, and Kathy Ireland.

I preferred Ginger over Mary-Anne, Janet over Chrissy, Sabrina was my fav Angel, Olivia Newton John as a bad girl, Joan Collins in Dynasty, Slave Leia did funny things for me, Joan Jett over Pat Benatar, Brigitte Nielsen, and Elisabeth Shue in the 2000's even more than in the 1980's.

And I thought Al Bundy was lucky to have a hottie like Peg and never understood his whining!

So yeah, I was not a normal boy growing up.
