And lovin’ every minute of it. !” “Cool! [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. The men are objectified, but you don’t really get a good look because they walk by so fast. 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. Invisibility was the dominant trend on MTV. Each Loverboy member is playing out some fantasy in their rooms, similar to Yellow Submarine when each Beatle is gathered in his own little unique paradise. DeVito is serving as their visionary director. It features Playboy centerfold-style stereotypical “hot 80s chicks” pouting and ooh-ing at the camera, stroking Mike Reno’s beer-bellied chest, like they just walked out of one of those sexy bikini posters that were so popular in the 1980s, the posters they sold at record stores that were all trying to be the next Farrah Fawcett poster. ", "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. He’s fixing a guitar while a slutty nurse-like centerfold hovers in the background. The album reached number 7 on the Billboard 200 album chart, remaining on the chart for over two years, and has sold over 4 million copies in the United States. Bill Gates, nerdiness personified, became the symbol of American success in the 1990s. (Lange produced and co-wrote the entire Hysteria album.) In the music video, DeVito meets up with the group in the middle of the desert where a video shoot is being set up. They fit none of the band members or models on the set. I think the singer is awesome and she really played her role well, including the ad libs, “Get it right!” I am really hoping there is more information about the band, and whether they have made music, and are in a band or have had careers in music. One of them rubs her black-gloved hand down the front of his t-shirt nearly down to his penis, as though to simulate a handjob while they walk down the hallway. But whereas her video celebrates feminism, difference, and being weird, this video celebrates banal masculine supremacy and conforming to hegemonic heterosexism. 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. They are nerds, and they deserve what they get. She’s probably a lesbian, otherwise wouldn’t she be throwing her face into Mike Reno’s crotch like any normal woman? (Urkle is the only other prominent black nerd I can think of from 1980s mainstream culture.) These nerds are so clueless, so out of the loop, so hopelessly nerdy and uncool and unhip that they don’t even know Loverboy when they see them! Ahh, now here’s some real ballsy music, the video wants you to think. Russell Mulcahy definitely did not direct this video; the men are sloppy and schleppy, not objectified at all. Reno barges into the fantasy guitar workshop and synchs “Come on!”, taking the guitarist into the hallway to join the party. The video also displays unapologetic cruelty towards those who are not cool, rich, and scoring-with-chicks like Loverboy. Well the joke’s on you NERD, because THEY ARE LOVERBOY!!! It’s so unbelievably stupid. Yesterday, Charli XCX released the video for her latest single, "Boys". No sissies or girls in this group. She seems aware she is being degraded, but has to go along for the sake of survival in a sexist world run by sexist men. Sorry for ya man. Nerds, along with gays, blacks, and other culturally marginalized cliques, asserted mainstream cultural dominance. "Steal My Girl" is a song written and recorded by English-Irish boy band One Direction. In the early 1990s, the tables turned. Obsessed with travel? (INSIGHT Section, page3) " An Argentinian male model, six foot five", (was hired) "on the basis of his big hands". I must admit, I never noticed them until writing this essay, so ultimately they don’t make much of an impression. It highlights the underlying sexism, heteronormativity, and downright meanness of 1980s culture. You sure harvested a lot of negative shit information out of this video. An interesting moment of overlap occurs, however, in Revenge of the Nerds, in which one of main nerds is openly gay. They all look sleazy, like Ron Jeremy. One would expect lots of cocaine and high-end booze at this party. 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. They shake their heads and frown, especially the woman. It has testicles. 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. I am obsessed with it and have watched it several times already. The camera pans towards the window, giving us a better look at the party inside. Everyone who piles into the elevator is white (Cyndi’s crowd was diverse) and most are blond. Please watch it before we continue with this incredibly important piece of journalism. How thrilling. As the first chorus begins, we see the party has gotten wilder. According to Scott Smith's notes on the Greatest Hits album Big Ones, the song "Take Me to the Top" is actually the demo version "complete with out of tune bass" because the band couldn't quite capture the sound in the studio. Those fucking nerds playing in the lounge downstairs! No one went near them, except nerds, fags, and other uncool people. Her feminine presence hints at the wimpiness of the band’s music as well as the wimpiness (lack of manliness and heterosexual virility) of the other three male members. It is unknown whose hand and arm are in the picture. 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. 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.
