Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool

Oh, creepy. People with no faces.



From dlisted (thanks to Kathy). Possibly something to do with Anonymous (I'm apathetic); possibly something to do with hating on Scientologists (now you're talking).

Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face (3.38 MB mp3: right-click and Save As to download; play using the handy little embedded player below)





You know, I REALLY don't remember that middle eight -- crafty Mr. Broad, huh. Or perhaps I just remember the single/radio edit too well. It's pretty awful either way and I'm glad when it finishes and gets back to the main song bit.

Who cares. Great tune. God bless Billy Idol -- at least he managed to do one thing right, once.

Oh, I found the episode of Sapphire and Steel with the faceless man. Watch the first couple of minutes of this but make sure you have a pillow to hide behind.

Re the "Eyes Without a Face" bridge. It's like the musical response to being accused of being a poofter, mate.

Also, Wikipedia says this about the video:

Later during the song's bridge, the scene changes to Steve Stevens shredding on guitar and Idol in familiar punk poses while dancing in a flaming hexagon surrounded by hooded acolytes.

Awesome.

The no-face thing is like that BOARDS OF CANADA album 'Music has the Right to Children' eh. And something else, but I can't remember.

I like how on the video clip for 'Eyes Without a Face', BILLY IDOL sings his own echo. "face, face, face, face..." Hilarious.

Billy Idol got something right twice, I reckon. 'White Wedding' is also a cool song. And I guess even 'Dancing with Myself' is passable, too...
