On occasion, I address something of relative importance.
Video with 6 notes
“CAUGHT UP IN YOU”
My strongest memory of this song just happens to be playing billiards at a dive bar surrounded by dirty boozehounds. The concept of this video stays remarkably true to my recollection of this particular adventure. While I am not a flirtatious blonde who struts her way through sketchy saloons, teasing and manipulating every man in sight, I was a girl in her early 20s who thought that putting herself in complicated situations was a real thrill, something to savor and document. Note to self: any romantic possibility involving one’s boss, a few beers, and .38 Special’s “Caught Up in You” is probably best left unpursued.
The girl in this video seems incapable of regretting anything. She’s taken in by the sounds of the house band, the sights of the tatted gentlemen guzzling Bud in a pair of ill-fitting and snazzy suspenders, the interracial arm wrestling match, and the mechanical bull! She’s so overcome by the small-town charm of this shithole, that she’s ready to rope herself a man and take him to the nearest motel. And it’s not to be blamed on the alcohol. Her motel man-hunt is premeditated!
In this video, .38 Special pay tribute to pool hall denizens and tramps everywhere. And the video also has a serious message: Don’t worry guy if the girl of your dreams ignores you throughout the night, hitting on every jerkface she sees, eventually she’ll realize you’re her best bet because you seem the most desperate. Then, you’ll get lucky. And you can thank us and our sweet music for whetting her libidinal appetite. They aren’t entirely wrong about that last part.
