Song of the Week: "Weird Science"

I love, love LOVED this movie as a kid! And the song is still totally kick ass. Even pre-pubescent I was so turned on by all the boys, hell even Kelly LeBrock! Holy hell! I'd do her! Who wouldn't?! If I could make myself a woman, that's probably what she'd turn out like.

Anthony Michael-Hall became a little crazy as he grew up though. I interviewed the women of the movie Bucket of Blood years ago for Femme Fatales magazine and they all told me their own stories about him. One claimed to have been nearly raped by him and another said they were almost choked to death during one of the movie's scenes. Maybe he was just "in character," who knows? But those quotes, per usual, were all extracted from my article.

Lord, I should write a book on the celebs I profiled as a teenager and the stories they told me that never went to print! We covered Elvira, now the women of Anthony Michael-Hall. Who is next?!

Here's the original music video for the movie Weird Science and the theme song by Oingo Boingo.

And Oingo Boingo, by the way, is actually headed up by Danny Elfman! Elfman's name you may recognize as the composer of movie scores, especially for anything Tim Burton has ever done. Elfman is an absolulte genius. And a total philanderer too! One of my best friends was his mistress for years. And that is also a Halloween themed story, due to the actress. But I'll leave that as a blind item and let her save it for her autobio. lol ;-)
