Rush Rush

[middletree]

I heard a song called "Rush Rush." The song name sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place it. So I went to youtube, and watched the video. I must say, this thing rates very high on the unintentional comedy scale.

Summary: Keanu (was he unknown at the time?) plays a guy who liked Paula, but she has a boyfriend, but you can tell that she belongs with Keanu, because the boyfriend has a scowl. Keanu stalks Paula, and the BF sees him, so he does violence to Keanu's tire. They decide to settle the matter by having a drag race. Keanu tricks the guy into driving off a cliff, and his friends and Paula are mildly upset, at best.

The song is interrupted by some amazingly bad dialog beginning at the 3:11 mark. Then Keanu and Paula cavort in a big house. This is greatness! I love bad 80's and early-90's music videos. That's why the 30-something forum seemed like the perfect place to post this.

I remember this. It was the height of the Keanu craze for all girls my age at the time. I must have watched it a gazillion times, but somehow, it never seemed this ridiculous back then. And may I ask what station you were listening to that played this song today? Go ahead and tear that pre-set button out of your radio.:P

[middletree]

I don't listen to music on the radio anymore. A friend had it on.

Tear out the pre-set button on HIS radio then! :P

I'm actually a bit of a Keanu fan myself. Even have several of his band's Dogstar CDs (which are actually MUCH better than Rush Rush. LOL)

Oh yes i really like Keanu Too, He is so funny in the bill and ted movies and very actiony in the matrix movies too, one moment if you want to see keanu flexing his shakespeare muscles i suggest that you get much ado about nothing he is excellent in that one the version starring kenneth braner and his then wife emma thompson. and denzel washington is in that one too. did you that denzel is a christian too.

Just saw this today - too funny. Never seen the vid before, but knew the song by heart.

Did nobody catch that that video was a tribute to Rebel Without a Cause?

I like Keanu. And, he was already famous by that point. I liked that video.

Paula's gift for amazingly bad dialog began before the 3:11 mark of this song and it has continued on to this day.

You're thinking Deep Purple and it was just Hush. The video was the same though. ;)
