Watched Boogie Nights the other night, hadn't seen it a while, great flick. I couldn't help myself, had to check out the original version of Dirk Diggler's brutally awful single. I wasn't a Transformers fan in my youth so I didn't know it was a real song. I was floored when I found out because it is such a quintessentially crappy '80s song that it feels like a nostalgic construction rather than an original artifact--does that make sense? In defense of the song, the vocals are much stronger than Dirk musters and the drums are different (and slightly) better than the Boogie Nights version. But, man, this still sucks. So was Stan Bush a porn star? I remember when Samantha Fox made the jump from page 6 to top o' the pops and Madonna (and Vanna White) showing up in Playboy, but I don't recall any other porn stars crossing over. 'You've been put to the test/But its never enough'--what the hell does that mean?
