Song of the Day: Don Johnson

 Don Johnson WAS the 80's!  The look, the pastels, Miami Vice, the "East of Eden" remake, he would not be denied.  He even tried his hand at singing.  To be honest, he did not have a bad voice, but he does have the distinction of the number one spot in MTV's "25 Lame" video countdown, hosted by Jon Stewart, Jeanene Garofolo, Denis Leary and Chris Kattan.  Who could blame them?  The black pajamas, Dweezil Zappa AND his green guitar, the backup singers who looked like the female "managers" from the WCW, the gestures.

Here it is, the video for "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson.



I love the moment at 2:37 when he tosses that kid over the wall.  Unintentionally funny. 

Here is his surprisingly effective duet with Barbara Streisand, "Till I Loved You".
