Watch Me Entertain Myself!

Sacha Guitry once said, "You can pretend to be serious, but you can't pretend to be witty." Oh yes, I'm the great pretender.

You’ll Wanna Love This Tender



Armi & Danny are from Finland. Their 80s music video trumps anything that Ok Go has done, dancing-on-treadmills notwithstanding. And check out the lyrics below or better yet, sing along! (And who is that VJ? Meatloaf?)

With this video the career of Armi and Danny are Finnish-ed. (pa-thump-thump!)

I love you, I wanna love you tender.
You could be my only sweet surrender.
I would never bring you any kind of sorrow.

You love me, you wanna love me tender.
How can I be sure you’re not pretender?
You want me today,
But what about tomorrow?

Oh, you’re absolutely fine,
Your lips are taste of wine.
I’d like to think you’re mine.
And if I could touch your hand,
This rock would turn to sand,
So this is where we stand.

You love me, you wanna love me tender.
How can I be sure you’re not pretender?
You want me today,
But what about tomorrow?

I love you, I wanna love you tender.
I just want to be your loving fender.
I would like to take you;
I know I can’t deceive you.

I love you, I do can be so tender.
I can be your only sweet surrender,
And if you give your heart,
I'll never ever leave you.

Oh, you’re absolutely fine,
Your lips are taste of wine.
I’d like to think you’re mine.
And if I could touch your hand,
This rock would turn to sand,
So this is where we stand.

If we all say “Wanna love you tender,”
No one has to be a great pretender.
And this world would be
A better place to live in.
