The Friday VicPick video: "You are gold and silvah-ah-ah!"

The above video is from the movie Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. The basic storyline is that Hugh is a former 80s pop star who pairs up to write a song for a modern star in order to revive his career. THe fictional 80s band he was in is called "Pop" and is very much inspired by Wham as one singer from Pop went on to be a household name (George Michael) and the other one didn't (the other guy from Wham). Hugh plays the other guy. As you can see, the video is very 80s-like, with a mixture of bad performance elements, and really bad over-acting. Hugh does all of his own singing, impressively enough, and the soundtrack is currently outselling the likes of Fergie, Gwen Stefani, and Justin Timberlake on iTunes. I saw the movie myself, and it was quite hilarious, Hugh's sardonic humor and 80s style singing/dancing performances are reason enough to check it out!
