Music Video of the Day: Take My Breath Away, covered by Jessica Simpson (2004, dir by Chris Applebaum)


Today, the Shattered Lens wishes a happy birthday to Jessica Simpson.  On a personal note, we went to the the same high school, though I started a few years after she had already left.

Enjoy!

Song of the Day: Why? by Herve Villechaize


Since I just reviewed the final Tattoo episode of Fantasy Island, let’s say goodbye with today’s song of the day.

In 1981, at the height of Fantasy Island’s popularity, Villechaize released a song called “Why?”  It’s all about trying to understand why people have to fight and why people cannot just accept the wisdom of peace-loving children.  The video at the top of this post was recorded for a TV show on which Villechaize appeared.  Unfortunately, I don’t know which show it was for and the video upload itself is not the best quality.  Apparently, the split-screen visual effect that gives us two Herves singing at once was a part of the show.

That said, why do we always have to fight?
