Friday Feel Good Jam

It’s Friday, and what better way to get the weekend started than with a cheesey music video from the 80’s?

The Beach Boys hit single Kokomo is the perfect treffer for a warm Summer’s day, when you’re lounging at the poolside in your favourite Hawaiian floral shirt, getting your feet rubbed out by your loved one, whilst nibbling on Lays Caribbean Onion and Balsamic Vinegar flavour.

The Backstreet Boys Of The 60's?

Looking at the video below, it’s amazing how uncool the Beach Boys appear to be, with their buttoned up shirts and frog like features, yet it’s very likely that they ended up having sexual relations with all the women featured on film.

This song was featured in the Tom Cruise flick, Cocktail, a movie which briefly had me toying with the idea of becoming a professional barman, until I saw Top Gun, which then lead me to become a maverick fighter pilot instead.

I’m not quite sure what John Stamos is doing in this video though. You will see him playing on the bongos at the back, wearing a pink shirt. This would have been quite ballsy thing to do at the time, because pink was not yet considered to be an acceptable colour on heterosexual men. Way to start a trend there, John Stamos.

John Stamos is of course best known for getting to sleep with Mystique from the X-Men movies who - when not morphing into other people - is also known as Rebecca Romijn.

It was rumoured that they broke up after Rebecca morphed into Bob Saget, John’s co-star from his Full House days, whilst giving him what the French call oral pleasure.

The Beach Boys never did much after this comeback album. I think they toyed with hip hop for a little bit, but listening to old white men rapping about “blunts, bitches and forties” didn’t really appeal to the masses.

Still, a good effort nonetheless, and modern day boy bands such as Westlife and the Backstreet Boys certainly have a lot to aspire to.
