I Want To Be That Blonde Perched On The Couch, Blowing Kisses

This video clip incarnates everything "A Touch of Tuesday Weld."

Remembering times like these; that's what this blog is all about.

I wonder what songs they were dancing to!

Be sure to watch to the very end, where That Blonde sexily smooches toward the camera and lights up the entire room with her smile.

New Year's 1965, Manhattan Beach

Film by Richard Jones

And Speaking Of Sandahl Bergman...

...here she is in what might be the most astonishingly beautiful dance sequence ever committed to film (the only other one that I think I might like more is "Cool," from West Side Story).

This is "Airotica," from 1979's All That Jazz. Now, you're all adults, right? So I don't need to mention to anyone that this very sexy clip has nudity in it, okay?

For those of you who haven't seen All That Jazz, directed by Bob Fosse, watch it as soon as you can get a copy. It's marvelous. Do I really need to rant against The Academy in its failure to give Roy Scheider an Oscar for his heartbreaking, infuriating, and often hilarious portayal of Joe Gideon, a thinly veiled take on Bob Fosse himself?

One more thing: I think Sandahl Bergman has quite literally the perfect body here. Ah, well, she is a fitness expert, after all. But still, those legs! (Life is so damned unfair.)

From 1990: Baby, Just Sing About The Groove

A bit of trivia: a few of the dancers in this video were infamous on the NYC party circuit at that time as some of Michael Alig's Club Kids.

From 1983: A Gem Starring The Brothers Gibb, A Magnificent Sex Bomb Named Cynthia Rhodes, And Barry Gibb's Luxurious Mane Of Hair

Lucky that there was a roving band of incredibly hot Mad Max-esque female dancers to back up the lovely Miss Rhodes!

This song suffers from the same ailment that so many others of its era did: Greg Ham Syndrome. So named for the saxophone player in Men at Work, Greg Ham Syndrome refers to the compulsion to stick a sax solo into your song because the Men did it so successfully.

1977: Rerun

All you other jive turkeys just better sit your asses down, 'cause Rerun is in the house!

From 1981: The Greatest Tribute Of All Time To Saint Joan Of Crawford

The movie is from 1981, this remix is from 2009.

Both are sent from Heaven itself.

From 1979: Jagger and Gideon!

I was originally going to do a post about Sandy Linter's 1979 book Disco Beauty today; I'm still researching it. Despite the presence of Gia in its pages and the adoration of All Things Carangi on the Internet, I am having a hell of a time finding stuff to crib for a post here.

As I was searching just before, I was singing this song to myself, as I often do; I think that if this blog had a theme song, this would be it. It's Peter Allen's "Everything Old Is New Again."

And this clip has Ann Reinking with some of her most glorious Bob Fosse moves, from the 1979 classic All That Jazz.

As always, enjoy.

Dancin' at church, Long Island jazzy parties
Waiter bring us some more Baccardi
Let's order now what they ordered then
'Cause everything old is new again

Get out your white suit, your tap shoes and tails
Let's go backwards when forward fails
And movie stars you thought were alone then
Now are framed beside your bed

Don't throw the past away
You might need it some rainy day
Dreams can come true again
When everything old is new again
