My poor old memory is fuzzy so not sure of the details but it was a bunch of carnies or circus performers (probably circus come to think of it). It's one of the old ones that used to be seen on MTV - long time ago.

I remember near the end of the video there were some lyrics about a wild animal and it zooms in on a shoulder tattoo of an animal that comes to life and crawls up into view.

argh. I know that's not much to go on but I've tried to find it on Youtube and it's driving me nuts. Just one of those things like a song you can't remember the name of.

Sound familiar to anyone?

*SCRATCHES HEAD* :no Not ringing a bell, I thought of a few, but that ending doesn't jive with the ones I am thinking of.

Thanks you two - yeah Def Leppard - Animal seemed to be similar but the tattoo-coming-to-life isn't there.

I seem to remember it starting out with a sort of a cartoon animal thing (maybe a gecko?) and it ran through the whole video, popping up here and there.

Good grief - I may even have two videos mixed up. The circus scenes from Animal look so familiar too.

I think my memory is just fried. and I didn't ever do drugs so it's just not fair, heh. Some things have happened lately to bring back old memories -- just missing the 80s rock I used to hear and for some reason that video won't get out of my head and it's bugging me.

I wasn't going to question your "80s leisure activities" because, well, it just didn't matter. But there goes one theory...LOL

:laugh::tongue:

Yeah, I think I'm just getting old! (though I probably inhaled quite a bit of second hand pot smoke in those days).

What were you doing listening to THAT? I'm afraid we will have to review your eligibility to have a goth card now...

Ah well, I grew up in the gothless south. Sooooo, I never really had a goth card to begin with.

It was either that or the icky kind of country.

(but I still like some of them I confess). :happy:

...I won't hate on your musical taste Doll...but...do you know ANY of the lyrics? :p

...I'm REALLY good at this...but I need SOME words... ;)

I rocked ALL the rock-n-roll in the 80s & loved the headbangers ball & such...

...was it David Lee Roth? (he did allot of weird shit in his videos)

Sorry, it's just not coming back to me. What I remember are the images and not really the music itself. I think I'm out of luck. Most all my memories from that time are pretty blurry.

I think it was a gecko tattoo but y'know it might be impossible to find because I'm wondering if it wasn't something they just added to it only on MTV (like an overlay) and it wasn't on the actual official vid. hmmm

If I remember details or I find it I'll post it. I swear the thing did exist! heh.

      How Are You Feeling? (cont'd)

      By TronRP · Posted

      I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

      ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
