I've realized a lot of my posts are basically a Family Guy joke. I recall some incident in the past and then reflect on it. This post will be no different. The Monster Ballads commercial that dominated my youth is a CD collection that I would still buy today...albeit on iTunes.
Let us cut to the chase. Damn Yankees - High Enough....amazing song. Watch the music video...although for some reason I couldn't find it on youtube.
Watch more Damn Yankees videos on AOL Video
Now is Damn Yankees the greatest of a forgotten era of Supergroups? If you just watched the music video and were wondering "When did all time WWF/WWE great Shawn Michaels have time to perform in Damn Yankees while maintaining his relationship with Jesus and his prowess in Ladder Matches vs. Razor Ramon?" You'd be wrong! That Shawn Michaels wanna-be is actually Tommy Shaw whom you may know from the obnoxiously bad but good band Styx.
The thing that actually kills me in this music video is the constant scenes of Ted Nugent wailing on his guitar while simultaneously chewing gum and wearing those really shitty sun glasses that Brian Bosworth always wore and were really popular with dudes who liked to go "Tubing" back in the early 90's. His guitar is also of zebra print...which makes me believe that we are supposed to recognize that Nugent is a hunting super freak. Its absolutely true too...I watched one of his hunting videos and there is a scene in one where he shoots an arrow through a turkeys head.
Did I also mention that this music video has an alleged storyline. Think 'Aerosmith video that is loosely creating a storyline with former hottie Alicia Silverstone' except by hottie I mean some weird homoerotic police stakeout that turns into a shootout with Ted Nugent in a ZEBRA FUCKING PRINT Duster Jacket all the while laying down crunchy grooves on the unsuspecting police force. Right. It is worth noting that I actually really like this song as well.
