xsquared · 06/10/2019 21:37

No question set for the next person but I've thought of one..

Who plays Debbie Harry's love interest in the video for "I want that man"?

LoveMySituation · 06/10/2019 22:06

It's undoubtedly wrong but I really want to say Tom Bailey (for no other reason than he wrote it and it would be hilariousGrin)

xsquared · 06/10/2019 22:17

Grin not Tom Bailey.

Clue: It's a vampire themed video.

LadyGAgain · 06/10/2019 22:39

I've watched it three times. I honestly don't know who that is. I'm going with Dracula! Grin

xsquared · 06/10/2019 22:49

Not Dracula, but if you're a fan of vampire films then you'd get it.

LoveMySituation · 06/10/2019 23:55

Absolutely no idea at all. He's barely there to have a good look at. Please put us out of our misery Grin Is it the actual bloke the song is about?

Ritascornershop · 07/10/2019 00:12

Who died today - More a 60’s question as Cream disbanded in 1968. Ginger Baker was the drummer, not the singer, Jack Bruce did most of the singing.

What shop did Chrissie Hynde work in for a while when she first moved to the UK?

xsquared · 07/10/2019 00:16

Right, major clue for the Debbie Harry one.

He's also in The Lost Boys. If you were brought up in the 80s and have seen that film, that is a dead giveaway!

xsquared · 07/10/2019 00:19
, try it at 2:22 to get a good look
LadyGAgain · 07/10/2019 06:25

Corey Haim?

xsquared · 07/10/2019 07:22

Lady Gaga, Corey Haim was not yet a man in1989. Way too young to be Debbie Harry's love interest. Watch the video.
