150: Save Me Darlin'

150. "Far From Over" by Frank Stallone {#10; 7/83} [iTunes? Yes]
Frank Stallone.

Frank Stallone?

Yes, Frank Stallone!!!

There is no Elton John in the HondoJoe Top 200, but there is Frank Stallone! No Hall and Oates, no Huey Lewis, no Boston, no Kansas, no Outfield, no Chilliwack, but, yes, Frank Stallone.

Once more for emphasis:
Frank Sinatra? No.
Frank Stallone? Yes!

(Joey Travolta must be kicking himself in the face!)

Of course, Frank Stallone can thank Martin Short and Harry Shearer for being on this list. Because, this song brings to mind one of the greatest video shorts in the storied history of Saturday Night Live. (Long before Andy Samberg began to "Lazy Sunday" his way into America's hearts.)

"I'm not a strong swimmer."

A link to the "men's synchronized swimming" clip is here: Synchronized Swimming on SNL. My two favorite lines are, "I'm not a strong swimmer." And, "You're not angry at him. You're just pointing at him."
