Even if I didn’t tell you, I bet you would be able to guess that this music video was directed by Michael Bay. Bay brings the same techniques that he would later bring to films about blowing up asteroids and defending Alcatraz to this music video about sleeping all day and staying up all night. This was back when music wasn’t afraid to rock and music videos were all about having a good time.
Slaughter, unfortunately, was among the many metal acts that got pushed off of MTV by the Grunge Revolution but they’re still together and they’re still playing in front of enthusiastic audiences. If Slaughter seems like an aggressive name for a band whose music was mostly about having a good time, that’s because the band is named for lead singer Mark Slaughter, who can still hit those high notes.
Enjoy!

Slaughter… Not one of my favorite 80’s Hair Bands but I chuckled when I saw this because it was the subject of a discussion my boyfriend and I two nights ago. Now I can’t remember what triggered the earworm, but I transitioned from this song to the tagline on the poster for The Lost Boys:
Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die.
It’s fun to be a vampire.
What’s funny is my boyfriend didn’t hear that I was quoting the above off a poster and thought “Sleep all day. Party all night.” was from a SONG on the film’s soundtrack. Well, it was funny at the time…but you may have had to be there.
