Three Tune Tuesday #224 .:. Back to 80-es!
For this week of #threetunetuesday I came up with a weird eclectic compilation of seemingly incompatible stuff, but all of it one way or another is 80-es. Worth your attention: Grace Jones, Astor Piazzolla, David Byrne, Kraftwerk, and Karabas-Barabas DJ. Altogether.
Grace Jones — I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)
Jamaican singer Grace Jones was an 80-es pop idol, fashion icon, actress. This song counts as one of her signature tunes. It is a reworking of Astor Piazzolla's famous 1974 tune 'Libertango'; you might consider the song minimalistic but thats not exactly so - it has a splendid arrangement, created by a bunch of talented artists. Viva la 80-es!
David Byrne and the Balanescu Quartet — Model (Kraftwerk)
I know, this is a strange choice to make, to combine pop idol Grace Jones with Kraftwerk and alternative essence of David Byrne, not speaking about some extra layers of orchestration... but I did it! A funny parody of 80-es that I could not resist the temptation to share with you. (This event recorded back in 1998, was Byrne's self attempt at time travelling to the 80-es, as I see it...) Enjoy Byrne's robotic futuristic (or is it retro?..) break-dance - that actually was the reason to add it to my selection. Precious! Sorry for the VHS-low-gen-quality.
Кальянов — Карабас Барабас
And a little bit of nostalgia for my Russian-speaking readers, listeners, and followers, and anyone else who's sympathetic. A break-dance from the USSR days, exploiting childhood flavor (a trendy theme unmistakably monetizable into success not only in the USSR but anywhere). This certain clip has garnered over 1 million YouTube views in the five years since it was published! (and four of them are mine, lol.)
И немного ностальгии для моих русскоязычных слушателей, читателей и тележевателей; а также всех сочувствующих. Брейк из СССР, эксплуатирующий привкус детства (модная тема и безошибочно монетизируемый успех не только В СССР но и много где еще). Клипец кстати за 5 лет с момента публикации набрал свыше 1 миллиона просмотров! (четыре из них - мои, лол )))
I hope you enjoyed today's highly eclectic and nostalgic music selection and travelling around the globe without leaving the Hive. 😎 The post goes for Three Tune Tuesday challenge run by @ablaze.

Absolutely brilliant! Grace Jones... I forgot she ever was a singer! Pretty damn good one too...
David Byrne, Mr. Talking Head, with the Balanescu Quartet, that was really cool. He likes to mix things up! You never get bored that way I suppose and probably have a lot more fun!
The last one was cool, they really have some good old fashioned breakdancing moves! I never realized that was a thing in the USSR, fun to learn such cool things. Awesome video!
Thanks for a great TTT like always!

ok.
❤️ Childhood-teenergerhood! Never seen the vid though - just a melody from the past.
Fun!
Человек просто пожил, жизнь потрепала, многолетний опыт предпринимательства в условиях дикого капитализма опять же профессионально деформировал личность.
Потом эти куклы сбегают куда-то в поля - свободу им принес Буратино.
Догадываюсь, учитывая их лень и бесталанность, кончат они тем, что станут ворами и проститутками, и плакать будут вспоминая тучные годы в театре Карабаса Барабаса. К сорока-пятидесяти сами станут дуримарами и котами базилио - если повезет.

твой анализ как всегда проницателен! не могу не согласиться.
хотя, можно и поспорить. насчет главгероя. у него была харизма. и наглость / удачливость.. что то из этого или все вместе. а на таком можно и подняться, даже имея такое отягощение-фактор как лень.
спасибо за коммент. очень порадовал!
