So long to one of the most beautiful and bodacious women in history.

Appropriately enough, more or less (given the mermaid angle), this comes to us from Cryptomundo:

Rest in peace, Lynda Carter.

Oh, wait.  She ain’t dead!

Toni Basil - “Be Stiff”

Friday, August 29th, 2008 by admin

Ah, the 1980’s. Goofy beyond imagining. People make fun of the 70’s, but, by God, I think the later decade takes the cake for sheer, unabashed silliness.

Here’s Toni Basil doing a Devo cover from her 1982(?) album Word of Mouth. See if you can watch the full 2 minutes and 9 seconds of this without the word ‘goofy’ appearing in your mind. But whatever you think about the video, remember this: Toni Basil is one talented lady.

Confession: I used to have this album back in the day.
