Good knowledge there, thanks!

That backing track is classic.

"A neon King Kong standing on my back! Can't stop to turn around, broke my sacroilioac!" fml I died. Then a couple minutes later they're like "It was plain to see that your life was lost, you were cold and your body swung back and forth, now your eyes sing the sad sad song of how you lived so fast and died so young..."

The Think break is a drum break that has been widely sampled in popular music. It comes from the 1972 song "Think (About It)" by the American funk and soul singer Lyn Collins, written and produced by James Brown. The drum break was performed by Jabo Starks.[1]

This was back before rap/hip-hop was considered mainstream, too.

One of my all time favorites from this band

I'd imagine that this song is most well known because of being on the soundtrack and namesake of the game SSX Tricky.

I’m old enough to remember when this was blasting out of every car all summer. And many summers after that as various hits sampled it.

Younger versions of Penn & Teller guest star in the video.

The best use of “Yeah!” and “Whoo!” in a song.

Don't. Push. Me. Cause. I'm. Close. To. The. Edge.
I'm. Try. Ing. Not. To. Lose. My. Head.
Ah. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Yeah! Oh Yeah! Oh Yeah!

This track is great for live concerts!

This is one of those songs that I couldn't name the title or the singer if you put a gun to my head, but once it starts playing it's so recognizable.

In retrospect, a great R&B vocal performance by Gregory Abbott too.

Although he does look like a Jordan Peele character in the preview frame.

RIP Freddie Jackson

Was reminded of this one when I realized all the third places from high school are empty lots or gas stations now.

Thanks

It's a work of art.

What a great music video!

I've never seen it before.

According to Wikipedia, B&W Night was shot in LA on 9/30/87, while the first Traveling Wilbury sessions were in May 1988

Do you know if The Traveling Wilburys formed before of after Roy Orbison's Black and White Night?

Ngl, those two albums never get as much love as they should, and they get plenty of love.

Probably the best example of synergy ever, and definitely the best super group ever (okay, best is contentious, and I don't like using it, but look at the members!). The way they worked together made magic.

Note: The Traveling Wilburys was a supergroup with the following members:

George Harrison (The Beatles)
Jeff Lynne (ELO)
Tom Petty
Roy Orbison
Bob Dylan

They released an album in 1988, The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1

Roy Orbison died just shortly after the album was released.

The 4 remaining members released the incongruously titled Vol. 3 in 1990

I hate how more relevant this song gets every year.

Yep. Still a damn fine song.

I'm not at all a Hair Metal kinda guy, but goddamn you can't resist the incredible energy of this track.

So 80's
