Billy Ocean's Loverboy video is way weirder than you remember

Very well. It’s easy to list a series of artsy weirdnesses that don’t seem to have much to do with the source material, or mean much other than dancing, like “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, “Wild Boys”, “Billy Don’t Lose My Number”, “The Warrior”, … As for disturbing, I am partial to Billy Squier’s “Rock Me Tonite”, which may have single-handedly torpedoed his career. (And it’s a damn shame, as he is a fine lyricist.)

Yeah, it’s odd, but the visuals do seem to go with the music somehow. The Ocean video not so much.

I’m not sure how treating the woman he’s interested in as a ‘stalkable Barbie’ matches the lyrics, but okay…
