Same Ol' Workout?

Sounds like you need some better music. It's Friday and I feel like talking about Motley Crue.

The Crue can provide some great workout tunes - I don't want to jump the gun here as some other gems may provide for a post in the future, but today I'd recommend adding "Same Ol' Situation" to your workout playlist. Great 80's rock song, good beat, fun vibe - what else could you ask for? How about a ridiculous 80's music video. You've come to the right place!

 The video opens up with the band getting off a helicopter in a field, clearly coming from an important engagement - signaling to their adoring fans that they've "arrived". Interestingly, at the bottom of the screen they indicate that this video is for their fans. Awwww. The guys are zaney though, and make faces at the camera as they walk by.

Except for Mick Mars. He couldn't be bothered.

The music part of the video opens with a number of shots running through the crowd at a concert. I definitely saw a guy with a fanny pack at 0:43. This dude is NOT a Motley Crue fan. Probably some Narc looking to wreck everyone's good time!

Guy at 0:53 looking possessed - definitely means business.

0:57 "She's got a Filipino girl she claims is her friend..." cut shot to marginally ethnic looking girl

Throughout - the dancers on stage couldn't be more 80's. Sweet perms.

1:55 - guy is rocking out with his crutches. Dedication.

3:20 The drum kit is up above the crowd now! Also, Tommy Lee is wearing a speedo and suspenders. Awesome or Creepy? Both.

3:30 This girl was expecting a much different concert from the looks of it. Cool Turtle neck! Her pal still has her Suncoast Video name tag on (gotta look close!)

3:36 Tommy totally just pointed at me!

4:10 Vince throws a ball with a camera in it into the crowd! Lots of excitement in the front rows.


All in all, a great jam, fun video and a solid addition to any workout playlist.
