I'm also a big fan of Chunky A's (aka Arsenio Hall) "(Your Love Makes Me Go) Ow!"

...Was Natalie Imbruglia ever an actress?

Shows what I know. I second a vote for Torn. Used to have that cd.

the video for 'party all the time' is hands down the most amusing coke-ridden shambles i've ever seen. eddie looking all shy and out-of-place whereas rick james is a man on a mission and that mission is to P-A-R-T-Y while suckin cocaine off his gums and clapping in time with the drumrolls. throw in a chunky muscular cock rock dude on guitar and you've got the best video i ever did see.

on the subject of Neighbours actors, i think Stefan Dennis (aka Paul Robinson) had an abortive singing career. Natalie Imbruglia could never pull off a leather jacket like he could. Or, for that matter, look such a sex pest.

Has ILM had a Neighbours thread yet? Are there any American or UK soapies that produced as many popstars? If so, face off!

― Jedmond (Jedmond), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

"Black Bean Soup", the B-side to David Soul's single "Don't Give Up On Us", ownz thiz thread!!!

― soulman (scott seward), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

ILM, i could be so good for you.

"Wanderin' Star"! Lee Marvin! Genius!

― Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, but the REAL winner is Richard Harris' MacArthur Park.

Who's the guy from "American Werewolf in London"?! He has a song...right. I swear it...

And I vaguely remember being at least slightly amused by it!

― Jennie Metrodome, Wednesday, 14 April 2004 20:39 (twenty-two years ago)

wasn't Tracey Ullman a pop singer before an actress? They Don't Know was great.

David Naughton from American Werewolf, and later, My Sister Sam, had a hit with "Makin' It"
