Duff?

Good lord, I can't get Hilary Duff's "Fly" out of my head.

I was downloading videos and I picked up "Fly", and "Rumors" by Lindsay Lohan and then, because for some reason it was there--"Touch me" by Samantha Fox.

Samantha Fox was a minor sex symbol in the 80's, famous for her extraordinary bosom. But in the video (technically "Touch me (I want to feel your body)" she's almost completely covered, wearing a trendy jacket, and hardly sexy at all. Not that she actually was, but she seemed to be when I was thirteen or fourteen.

Lindsay Lohan, on the other hand, who it seems like last week was a cute freckled kid, displays more cleavage in any single shot from "Rumors" than Page Three girl Sam Fox did in her entire video. The song itself is a pretty generic rip of Christina Aguilera-style "soul"/"R&B". Every single element of the song and the video was meticulously constructed by computer and sent to us through time travel from about five years ago. Hasn't stopped me from watching it about five times today, though.

Duff's video is pretty dull, nothing interesting to speak of, but the song itself grabs me pretty well. Catchy and epic in the right places for a big-budget pop song. Not perfect, by any means, but sugary sweet, sticky enough to stay with me after only a couple of listens.

Samantha Fox is such a wild dame! Hmph! Well, what's in a name? I'm half expecting an entry on Jojo pretty soon...Or maybe I just missed it.

...You're going to get arrested some day, Jeffrey Coleman, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make a very good character witness.
