I'll give you a review: A man-crush video. Nice music. "Total Eclipse of the Heart". Attractive clips of Phil in action. Fawning text.
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

I tried playing my copy of that song last night, and all I think of is Phil now

Drbuzz0 has ruined it now

Although according to my brother in law I ruined Every Breath You Take by The Police, as all he thinks of now when he hears it is a rusty crashed aeroplane

All i think when i hear it is "how can people be so dumb that they play a song about a stalker at their wedding?"

Ah, that one. I saw that on the blog originally but never watched it. I have way to little patience for most web videos. This time I watched it

Dr Buzzo...
That was HILARIOUS!

Thanks for a much needed laugh

I want a copy

NO For whoever hasn't seen the video- it isnt REALLY as bad as you might think at the start.

I must admit, I WAS a little concerned and disturbed at the beginning myself too...

Then I shot milk out of my nose
