@@stufaman Have you ever heard of the Retro Decade Revival Project? It's one of the most ambitious projects I've ever concocted. It's a mainstream artistic and cultural movement to bring the good old days back into the mainstream. Our goal is to bring real entertainment, true talent, pure originality and diversity, old school and more back into the public mainstream, starting with the 1980s. In the near future, there will be more and more movies that won't bore anybody, not even you, pal. Soon, movies will be much more creative just as theatres do.

This performance was at the 1987 Oscar show. The video quality may not be HD, but it's still pretty good, considering this was over 25 years ago. The Audrey II wasn't built for Levi Stubbs, but was brought in from the movie. Amazingly, the guys who wrote this song (Howard Ashman & Alan Menken) also wrote the songs for Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty & the Beast." "Mean Green Mother" was nominated for Best Movie Song of 1986, but lost to "Take My Breath Away" (ugh!) from 'Top Gun.'
