Retro Friday: Man in Motion -- On the Steps of the Coliseum



How many different ways do I love this YouTube clip?

It's big-haired, one-hit wonder John Parr. Lip-synching his catchy 1985 song, "St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)." On a Japanese TV show. Live. At the L.A. Coliseum. Which is empty. At what appears to be 5:30 in the morning. While clips from "St. Elmo's Fire" flash on the scoreboard. As he attempts to walk down the Coliseum steps. And "sing" in front of a bunch of guys pretending to play their instruments.

It's so good. You'll want to watch it several times.
