Stephanie Mills - "The Medicine Song" - Oh, What a Video!

Oh, heavens to Betsy! Why didn't God bring this precious piece of junk into my life sooner? I've known and loved the song (and Stephanie) for years, but I'd never seen this Thundercats looking shit until, well, 5 minutes ago. I wish everyday could be like this video.

I love the precise robot pose she strikes at 1:12 when she transforms from Urkel nurse to a Lycra tube dress dancer with the coordination of Whitney Houston. I think the director said, "Alright, we need a special effects budget!" The boom operator gave him the $3.99 he was going to use at 7-11 for his hot dog and Big Gulp so they could afford to draw in the purple lightning squiggles.

Couldn't watch the video b/c it's been disabled, but I'll be darned if your description of the $3.99 special effects don't have me over here crying.

I was going to watch that crappy piece of shyt based solely on your description. I'm always up for a good laugh.

She looks really hot in it even though it's cheesy 80s, at the time those effects were the bomb. lol
