No one went near them, except nerds, fags, and other uncool people. Reno’s sexual harassment spree then targets a porn star dressed in a French maid costume that the slightest breeze would blow off. It has power. But from interviews, I don’t get the sense that Reno is a big fan of the song. Nerds would never say “lovin’”, they would say “loving.” After the song if announced, the nerd drummer counts off the beat on his cymbal. It has strength. [3] The use of red leather pants originated from Reno selecting a few items from a leather shop owned by the husband of the band manager's publicist. ", "Loverboy's Mike Reno is still 'Lovin' Every Minute Of It, "Loverboy still 'Workin' For The Weekend' and ready to play WLAV concert", https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Get_Lucky_(Loverboy_album)&oldid=986492377, Short description is different from Wikidata, Album articles lacking alt text for covers, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, This page was last edited on 1 November 2020, at 05:46. [8], All information from the album booklet. CBC Music confirmed the identity of the model in an interview with Steven Keller in August 2014. He’s fixing a guitar while a slutty nurse-like centerfold hovers in the background. I think I had Heather Thomas, and some other woman—Cathy Smith? Milo Ventimiglia in Fergie "Big Girls Don't Cry" Music Video Before Playing Jack Pearson, Milo Ventimiglia Was Fergie's Music Video Boyfriend . The opening lyric is quite a doozy: “I’m not a man/or machine/I’m just something in between/whooa whooa”… and he stares directly into the camera, not so much singing the lines as proclaiming them as he pumps his fists. As the woman sings, feminizing what should be a testosterone-driven song, the music’s lack of bass, tinny guitar, and clumsy drumming all evoke wimpiness as well, suggesting that at the heart of 1980s nerdness is a lack of manliness—again, linking discourses of nerdness with queerness. The nerds in this video fit alongside “the Geek” in Sixteen Candles, Spazz from Meatballs, and the nerds in Revenge of the Nerds, not to mention nerds found in music videos by Van Halen (Hot for Teacher), Quiet Riot (Party All Night), and the Beastie Boys (You Got to Fight for Your Right to Party). How thrilling! ( Log Out /  Outsiders are mocked, ridiculed, and denigrated. And they are wimpy as hell, because they don’t fight back or offer any resistance, and, there’s a girl in the group, so they all must be a bunch of fags. Bro! They don’t know how to play Loverboy! Two more band members to go. They shake their heads and frown, especially the woman. But then, surprisingly, at the end of the line, are three shirtless guys, beefcake-y, wearing super tight white pants. I am obsessed with it and have watched it several times already. Those were the choices in the 1980s. Just sing and have fun. Everyone wears cool costumes and the windy night footage is oddly effective in a clichéd and stupid kind of way. The album was re-released as a digitally remastered CD in July 2006 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its original release. from SNDWRX Audio Post Production PRO . The model wearing the leather pants was 13-year-old Tymara Kennedy, daughter of photographer David Michael Kennedy who shot the cover. Their masculinity, and implicitly their sexuality, is questioned because they share the stage with a girl whose image strays from the clichéd heterosexual porn fantasy that Loverboy (and many other bands) provided in their videos, all of which celebrated masculine power and male supremacy and rejected any hint of feminism. It has power. And let’s be clear, that’s “lovin’,” not “loving,” because Loverboy is way too cool, rich, and busy scoring with chicks to pronounce the full word. The men are objectified, but you don’t really get a good look because they walk by so fast. A nerd voice—stilted, awkward, overly formal—announces the song. Porn star women now jump up and down on a bed in an erotically childlike manner consistent with mainstream straight porn, their bodies reduced to bouncing buoyant flesh. I’m not sure which attitude is worse, disparaging gays, or ignoring them completely. Reno wraps his hand around to grab some vodka in a plastic cup while simultaneously dropping an ice cube down the poor woman’s cleavage. Those fucking nerds playing in the lounge downstairs! What is your audience? I had seen the video on Youtube and I was very curious about the band and have been searching for info on them and this video. Presumably Reno has fucked, or will fuck, all of them. In the music video, DeVito meets up with the group in the middle of the desert where a video shoot is being set up. At least it’s not just more basses. It is unknown whose hand and arm are in the picture. She bears no resemblance to the porn stars about to flood the screen, instead representing a look that would become stylish in the 1990s—sort of retro with a black wig, thrift store tacky, rough around the edges. Finally everyone arrives at the lounge downstairs. It is a radical celebration of conformity and normality, profoundly unimaginative and utterly derivative, bland on bland, musically and visually. Virginity and nerdness went hand in hand. Something for everyone interested in hair, makeup, style, and body positivity. (Urkle is the only other prominent black nerd I can think of from 1980s mainstream culture.) The phone rings, and as Reno walks away to answer it, Lovin’ Every Minute of It starts with its generic Bad-Company rip off blues guitar riff over thunderously over-produced drums. There’s something depressing and humiliating about the scene, though, as a 1980s poster-worthy hot babe wearing a captain’s hat slowly takes off her shirt, turning around to reveal her back in a teasing, burlesque style. Reno then puts his arm around three different platinum blond porn stars with dark tans, as though claiming ownership of them. The director was Rick Rosenthal, best known for directing Halloween II and the excellent Sean Penn movie Bad Boys. Significantly, one of the four members of the nerd-anti-Loverboy band is female. Everyone piles into an elevator in sped up motion, very similar to the shot in Girls Just Want to Have Fun when everyone piles into Cyndi’s room. !” “Cool!” Dude! Where did they come from? Now four Loverboys march down the hallway, the drummer shirtless. We then see with drummer’s fantasy, which is … lots of drums! The heterosexuality of Loverboy is wildly overstated in this video, with fawning porn stars falling over themselves to stroke Mike Reno’s beer belly. The video also displays unapologetic cruelty towards those who are not cool, rich, and scoring-with-chicks like Loverboy. We see lead singer Mike Reno standing in one of the windows. Self care and ideas to help you live a healthier, happier life. She puts her lips in a pouty “ooo” position, like she’s reacting to the cold ice sliding down her breasts and she’s lovin’ every minute of it. The premise is good because it allows audiences to get to know each band member, and there are many different creative possibilities for depicting their fantasies. They are nerds, and they deserve what they get. (INSIGHT Section, page3) " An Argentinian male model, six foot five", (was hired) "on the basis of his big hands". Everyone who piles into the elevator is white (Cyndi’s crowd was diverse) and most are blond. But the nerds waited in the wing, and their moment soon came. Russell Mulcahy definitely did not direct this video; the men are sloppy and schleppy, not objectified at all. Reno mugged to the camera exceptionally well in those videos. Studly Reno in his blue jeans and white t-shirt (far more conventionally masculine than most MTV videos) answers the phone, listens for a few seconds, then hangs up just in time to begin lip synching the vocals. I don’t really care for the original that much to be honest. You didn’t need a rocket scientist to make a video; just get some sexy babes. Keep up with the latest daily buzz with the BuzzFeed Daily newsletter! Get Lucky is the second album released by the hard rock band Loverboy in 1981. That’s the very reason I ended up on this site. I am obsessed with it and have watched it several times already. It’s not the exception, but rather then rule. Although the video lacks any characters suggested to be gay, the way the stock 1980s nerds are treated has more than a whiff of gay-bashing about it. I’d like to have the whole song as sung by the nerd band as an mp3! I like Queen of the Broken Hearts even though it’s as sexist as Lovin’ Every Minute of It—it had that Mad Max post-apocalyptic look that was popular in classic 1980s MTV videos at the time, reflecting nuclear anxieties and the apocalyptic rhetoric that surrounded the AIDS crisis. The remixed version features a man pacing at night, dancing with starry apparitions, while Almond sings amongst the stars. It rivaled being gay on the coolness scale, condemning its members to outcast status who never got invited to the parties at the cool kids’ houses.
