Subject: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
one of the greatest music video's of all time, it oozed sexuality.
but was it made in the 90's? It was somewhere between 89-91 I think.
Last time I saw it (i think it was on one of those vh1 top whatever lists) I got a huge rush of early 90's nostalgia, it put me in a trance. What a great song, great video, and hot chick.

I think the video and song were made in 91 If I'm not mistaken. I'm pretty sure its 90's though. What a good looking chick in the video is right! Song and video wre tight as well.

June 6th, 1989
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
The vid came out in April of 1991, so, technically, you're both right.
That doesn't deter the fact that the song rules!
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
I truly despise this song. It prevented me from getting into Chris Isaak for a long time.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
No way :D ! You should have listened to the instrumental version first. I do like some of his other songs far more though. I think it's because that one is/was waaay too over-played. Pretty much anything off his San Francisco Days and Baja Sessions is great. Some songs do have a weird, twangy Country sound and it makes me think that that's how Country should sound like, but I guess it's more of a Rockabilly thing they got going on (a bit reminiscent of Johnny Marr's work ??? ). I still don't get how "Wicked Game" could sound... bad to someone.

You and me come from very different musical perspectives, I guess. Actually, I just downloaded this song and it sounds a lot better coming out of my headphones than it does on VH1. Still, the chorus remains one of the most annoying things I've ever heard.
ETA: The second verse is pretty annoying too. All in all, it's not something I would listen to willingly.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
I vote FOR it ! ;D
I'll take a different tack though, and say it's the only Isaak thing I really like :)
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
Oo-er BrianMannixGirl will be after you Kenny.Personally I love the song.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
I like that song, in original, instrumental and white label mixes formats. :)
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
Oh boy...MAJOR tenth grade make-out song. Video so hot it turned all the boys' jeans into grilled cheese.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
I'm curious. Since the video didn't come out until nearly 2 years after the release of the album, does anyone know why?
BTW-- if you you like Chris Isaak for his music, may I recommend his self-titled debut album from 1987. . ? He had a minor hit with "Blue Hotel" from that album.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
I have no idea why it the video was released two years later. I do know that the song surfaced on Days Of Our Lives as a sort of love song between the characters Jack Devereaux and Jennifer Horton right before the video came out...
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
Hunh! That may explain it. I thought maybe there was a movie tie-in or something.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
It definitly is a "guy" type of song, because frankly that song use to bore me, first it's the song itself...that slow Hawaiian-guitar thing, ohhhhgeez...soo boring! And then his voice, I'm yawining now just talking about it. Then the video, which I've only seen like twice in my whole life, so I've forgtten what it's about
But, that's only my opinion, so, carry on guys carry on ;D

Ahhhh... "blue 'o'el". Who needs consonants anyway? ;)
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
8) The instrumental is awesome, but "Lie to Me" is (In my humbke opinion) his best work.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
IMO, "Can't Do A Thing To Stop Me" is not only the best song by him, it's one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. :)

I am with you on this one Fuss....IMO Wicked Game was his best song.
Just hearing it can give me chill bumps..time to go dig out that cd now
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
Yeah! That song sounds great....if you're dead! Chicks dig that song a lot, so that pretty much forces me to be a listener as well.

The girl in the video is Danish supermodel Helena Christensen.
I'm always mesmerised by this video because she just looks so fantastic. Being shot in black and white sort of adds to the ethereal quality of her beauty.

It's too bad her nail polish is chipped and then she keeps chewing it off and her nails during the video. I suppose that may seem sexy to some.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
At first Ididn't like the song, then later I liked it for it's nostalgia factor - plus it reminded me of the video. :)
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
Never liked the song and thought the rolling around on the beach video was pretty cheesy.
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
It's a great song.
It always reminds me of the Friends episode called "The one where Ross and Rachel.....you know" as it was playing in the background when they consummated their relationship in the planetarium at ross' musuem!!
Subject: Re: Chris Isaak's Wicked Game
I'm afraid I've got to agree with Kenny. It is awful! He sounds as though he's had a bit too much to drink. That song has probably put me off Chris Isaak.
