@msbellows LOL Agreed! But I'm guessing every era is like that. I'm a child of the 1980s and of course we had great (IMHO) artists like #Prince and #RunDMC and #Sade but we also had to put up with #SpandexRock bands like #Loverboy LOL! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW22JDVEejk

Working for the Weekend Warriors: Loverboy
Formed in Calgary in 1979, Loverboy defined early 80s Canadian rock with their high-energy sound, tight red leather pants, and signature headbands. With massive hits like 'Turn Me Loose' and the anthem 'Working for the Weekend,' they dominated Canadian radio and won six Juno Awards in 1982 alone—a record that stood for over 30 years. #Canada #Loverboy #80sMusic #ClassicRock 🇨🇦

"Almost Paradise... Love Theme from Footloose" is the title of a #duet sung by #MikeReno of #Loverboy and #AnnWilson of #Heart. It is one of several major hits written by singer #EricCarmen with lyricist #DeanPitchford, another being "#MakeMeLoseControl". Because both of their respective bands were successful during the 1980s, Reno and Wilson were approached to record a duet for the film #Footloose and its accompanying #soundtrack.

"Turn Me Loose" is a hit song recorded by Canadian rock band #Loverboy. It was released on their eponymous debut album in 1980, and as a single in 1981. With a strong rock #synthesizer start to the song, followed by a steady build on the guitars, it peaked at #7 on the #RPM singles chart in 1981 and #6 on the #Billboard #TopRockTracks chart in the US. #RecordWorld attributed the song's success to "#MikeReno's vocal plea, a guitar grind, and marvelous production."

Today in weeping Gen-X Canadiana
"The ad itself, with a chyron mimicking a vintage MTV clip, is almost a shot-by-shot recreation of the original, with IHOP’s syrup bottles illustrated to look like the band: The lid opens as a mouth; the keyboardist even has forks for hands. It was manager Wolfson’s idea to put Reno’s trademark red bandana on one and strategically place the band’s logo on the drum kit."#Loverboy #IHOP #ad #WorkingForTheWeekend #cringe
