Music Video of the Day: The Valley by Bill Wyman and Terry Taylor (1985, dir by Michele Soavi)
Today’s music video of the day is for an instrumental piece that was composed by Bill Wyman and Terry Taylor for Dario Argento’s 1985 film, Phenomena.
Put together by Michele Soavi, this music video features not only scenes from the film but also clips of Dario Argento directing both Jennifer Connelly and Fiore Argento. Soavi, of course, went on to have a directorial career of his own, directing four classic horror films before stepping away from feature films to take care of his ailing son. Soavi has since returned to directing, though most of his subsequent work has been for Italian television.

RIP, Diane Keaton.
Horror Song of the Day: Ed Wood by Howard Shore
Today would have been the 101st birthday of the pioneering indie director, Edward D. Wood, Jr!
Today’s song of the day is the theme from Tim Burton’s 1994 biopic of the director. In my opinion, this remains Burton’s first film. Burton also directed the musical video below while the great Toni Basil choreographed. And, best of all, the dancer is named Lisa Marie!
Horror Song of the Day: Demon by Claudio Simonetti
Demons (1985, dir by Lamberto Bava)
For today’s horror song of the day, we have Demon, a track from the soundtrack for the 1985 film, Demons. This song was composed and performed by Claudio Simonetti, who is best known as the keyboardist of Goblin.
The music video, incidentally, was directed by Michele Soavi, who also appeared in Demons as the mysterious masked man handing out free movie tickets.

Music Video of the Day: And The Beat Goes On by The Whispers (1979, directed by ????)
The Whispers were first formed 1964 but they had to wait 16 years before scoring the first top 20 hit in both the U.S. and the UK with And The Beat Goes On. This song was co-written by Leon F. Sylvers III, Stephen Shockley, and William Shelby. Sylvers felt that the song had little potential to be a hit. The Whisperers felt differently and they turned out to be correct. This song was both a hit and it lived on as a part of the Vice City soundtrack.
As befits an old school song, this is an old school video, a simple performance clip of the band doing what they did best.
Enjoy!
Music Video of the Day: So Alive by Love and Rockets (1989, directed by Howard Greenhalgh)
