I cannot believe that not one of you has suggested that we review this little gem by Olivia Newton John.
Go watch it. I’ll wait here for you.
Back? Okay, good.
So, what is the best part of her outfit? The headband? The purple Lycra tights or perhaps the white leotard OVER the tights?
Or maybe it’s her all-white number at the end, complete with the buttoned-all-the-way-to-her-chin Izod that’s tucked deeply into her shorts?
And what did you think of the slippery male models?
I wouldn’t say that this is the cheesiest video I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely high on the cheese. But tell me, what is the cheesiest video you’ve ever seen?
There must be something out there on YouTube with Richard Simmons that would be Cheesy with a capital C.
HERE IT IS!
I remember thinking that song was soooo risque when I listened to it in seventh grade!
You know it never occurred to me that this woman put her tights on first then the leotard. I was a clueless 6 year old. That I thought Jane Fonda workouts were the height of class.
right now i am feeling like this is the cheesiest video. ever. the sad thing is — i’m not sure we thought that back when it came out…
I refuse to follow the link and watch, based on the fact that I know I’ll get the damn song stuck in my head ALL DAY and want to beat you with a thighmaster.
There may not be a cheesier video!
I thought you were supposed to put the tights on under the leotard, otherwise it would look like you were wearing a very tight top tucked into tights and no skirt???
I think this is the cheesiest video (and by cheesiest I mean all around bad with lots of gratuitous scantily clad chicks) – David Lee Roth “Just a Gigolo”
I think you should ask what we think are the BEST videos.
You know you had a headband just like that one.
Also, you’ve been tagged. Pull out the stops and see if you’re up to it.
I only got about 30 seconds in and I just couldn’t watch it anymore. Those banana hammocks on the dudes–UGH!!! I don’t dare watch the David Lee Roth one, either!
Um…you’re supposed to put the tights on first, then the leotard. That style was adopted from classical ballet. You’d look pretty funny with your tights on top…
But cheese with a whiz for sure.
When I first thought cheesy to the max, this came to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZIYFp0pejY
But I think that may be early 90s…
In fact…everything I’m coming up with seems to be early 90s.
Although this one from ’87 has some mega cheesy dance moves:
This song is cheese: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we0mk_J0zyc but I watch it quite often because I’m obsessed with Misha and White Nights. And hi, Gregory Hines too!
And now I’m off to iTunes to add to my wish lists…
Ah, but us old folks did aerobics routines to that song. Oh yes we did – wearing HEADBANDS! And LEG WARMERS!
I remember in 6th grade a group of girls were told they couldn’t listen to it at school. Wow, songs have gotten so much worse since then.
Gah! I used to love this song, but I forgot about the ICK factor in this video–what self-respecting man would ever work out bare chested in a thong? EW! Ew! Eew! You will PAY, Jen, for making me watch that!
Honestly, because my terribly innocent self always associated this song with exercise, I hated it. Maybe it even started my intense hatred of exercise…
I would give the cheese award to any video that features ice skating and/or soft focus camera lenses.
