Song of the Day: Live by Jonathan Clarke


Tonight, I’m starting my summer job of writing about Big Brother for the Big Brother Blog.  In honor of that, today’s song of the day is the little-remembered theme song from the first season of Big Brother!

After listening to this, you’ll understand why they’ve gone with an instrumental theme song from season two on.

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?
