AIMEE MANN "FORCED" TO RECREATE FAMOUS 80S TIL TUESDAY VIDEO. HILARIOUS!

Aimee Mann hasn't always been an angsty solo artist. During the 80s she was the lead singer for an angsty band, 'Til Tuesday. They had a MEGA-hit with Voices Carry (or as my husband thought it said, This Is Scary). Well, that 1985 hit is now the inspiration for the "director" of her new video for her catchy single Labrador. The "director" here is played by Jon Hamm in a hilarious mustache and he tricked Aimee into a shot-for-shot remake of the video for Voices Carry. Brills!! Here is the video for Labrador, and for comparison, Voices Carry. Enjoy!

FLASHBACK: 'TIL TUESDAY

Before Amiee Mann became the indie-rock darling she is today, she was a pop singer in an up-and-coming band that started off with a pretty big bang, 'Til Tuesday. The group formed in 1983 and in about 6 months their song Love in a Vacuum was picked up by radio and they were on their way. Epic records signed them and they began recording their debut album, Voices Carry. The title song hit the airwaves and they were instant stars. Amiee had the obligatory 80s 'do and the band stayed in the background. Voices Carry was everywhere . MTV was playing the video, depicting Amiee in an abusive relationship with an a-hole who is trying to control her. The video helped the group win MTV VMAs Best New Artist. The bands next album, Welcome Home, was not as successful, but did contain what I believe is their best single, What About Love?. Not the Heart song. This is different and equally great. After that, the band didn't ever hit the top of the charts again and sort of quietly dissolved. Mann went on to personify the indie music scene and is still regarded as a goddess of that genre. Anyhoo, if you remember Voices Carry ( or as my husband thought they were saying "This is Scary") I'm sure you love it as much as I do, so watch it below and also their awesome song What About Love?. Have a wonderful Flashback day.
