FLASHBACK: BELINDA CARLISLE - I GET WEAK

Belinda Carlisle, she of the gravely voice and big boobies, was a bona fide star in the 80s. Coming off her success with the Go-Go's, Carlisle immediatlely had hits with Mad About You, Band of Gold and perhaps her best known mega-hit Heaven Is A Place On Earth, but for my money her best song is still I Get Weak. The song is just great. The lyrics are about how she gets all weak and shizz around this hunky guy, played by the AMAZY HOT Tony Ward (soon to be Madonna's boyfriend in real life) in the video, directed by Diane Keaton. This song has another Madonna connection too as Donna DeLory, Madonna's backup singer/dancer since the 80s, sings backup for Belinda. The song was a big hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the winter of 1988. Anyhoo, the song and video are bananas and you just need to shut up and watch. Enjoy I Get Weak.
