Talking back to 80s music, 45

You were a gigolo, I think you mean.  Now you’re just a confused-looking middle-aged guy in inappropriately tight pants.

“Just a Gigolo,” David Lee Roth

    BINGO!

  2. none says:

    And crazy Einstein-looking hair to boot.

  3. JWebb says:

    Mr. Gere is such a Richard.

  4. But…but…he’s Diamond Dave.  Which means he’s not Sammy. 

    And, as a sidebar, Dave still doesn’t look as ridiculous as Louis Prima when he sang it.

    Just sayin’, though.  It’s not like I’m in his fan club or something.

  5. Jeff Goldstein says:

    I hadn’t done one of these in a while, so I thought I’d toss one out just to stay in game shape.

  6. Attila Girl says:

    What happened to his face? And his hair? Did you see his cameo on the Sopranos? Lot of mileage on him; I didn’t even recognize him, though of course he looked vaguely familiar.

  7. Sean M. says:

    Well, I don’t know about aging paramedics, but I hear firemen gets the ladies.

  8. Tman says:

    What will they say about me?

    I hope they don’t say that I got busted for tryin’ to buy a dime bag in Washington square, that much I can hope for.

    Never mind ruining the best rock band of the 80’s. That’s almost an afterthought at this point…….

    TW: school…….as in, everyone reading this who understands the joke is FREAKING OLDE…..

    The 80s are kind of fuzzy but…

    The way I remember it, the brothers kicked him out.

  10. Hubris says:

    Insulting David Lee Roth on Michele Catalano’s birthday?  That’s harsh, man.

  11. DLR is between the cracks, fer sherr.  He’s too old for the kids, and too dirty for the Vegas crowd. 

    I heartily recommend his book, though: Crazy From The Heat.

  12. corvan says:

    Actually, the older Dave gets the more spot on for Vegas he is.  If he can just get himself some fake hair and a girdle he’ll have it made.

    He doesn’t have those already??? confused

  14. TF6S says:

    I never thought I’d see the day where I’d hear, “…too dirty for Vegas.”

  15. AWG says:

    What goes on in Diamond Dave’s pants, stays in Diamond Dave’s pants!

    Turing: music.  As in, “Remember when it was about the music, and not about the spandex pants?”

  16. HotCuppaTea says:

    Awww c’mon, guys.  Cut him some slack.  The man’s keeping up a commitment here as a paramedic when he could be out self-indulgicating.  Yeah, spandexified gyrating at his age presents an irresistible target, but anyone who takes his ambulance rides as seriously as he does probably has a sense of humor about his image at concerts.

    HCT wink

  17. Waco Kid says:

    Oh leave the poor guy alone. Heeeeeeeeee ain’t got no-booooooodeeeee.

  18. TF6S says:

    For HotCuppaTea:

    “C’mon Dave, Gimme a break…”

    “Whoahhaahooa, Oooone breeak, coooomin’ up!”

  19. Murel Bailey says:

    Isn’t making fun of David Lee Roth a form of anti-Semitism? I thought the Weisenthal Center made some statement to the effect of “Leave David Lee Roth, Gene Simmons, Mark Knopfler, and Joey Ramone alone….”

  20. Dave S. says:

    …driving an ambulance.

  21. Mac Buckets says:

    David Lee Roth ruined Dexy’s Midnight Runners???  I always wondered who did that!

  22. The Big Ern says:

    Not if you was the last immigrant grocer on the face of the earth… honey.

    I saw DLR’s Vegas lounge mambo act – yes, really – about 8 years ago at Caesar’s Tahoe, and it was truly the act Diamond Dave was meant to play.  12-piece band, female dancers, the works.  Trust me on this one.
