This is a good song! This song it's in the Zoolander soundtrack. Everytime I listen this song I remember to see Ben Stiller making his model character working hard with is family trying to find "THE REAL ME". ;D After this he said "GOD GIVE ME A SIGN" and his mobile starts to ring. So he pick up the mobile and answer it with a surprised face - telling "GOD??". :o :o

I saw Loverboy in concert many moons ago. They put on a good show. I really like their music. The Hooters opened for them and they really sucked.

Subject: Re: Loverboy!
OMG you people are cruel!! Yep, it's true that Mike ain't missed any meals lately...BUT the boy has STILL got amazing pipes! I saw Loverboy open for Steve Miller a couple years back and was amazed at how good they sounded after all this time!! Paul Dean is completely grey now and Mike is tuboguts but the boys can still kick major butt!! They had the crowd freakin'!! Yes, it's their hometown but they still got it.
Sure, they maybe haven't kept up their memberships to Fitness World, but that ain't what made them famous in the first place so enjoy the music b/c that's what it's ultimately all about!!
"Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-notorious...everything you want, everything you need!!"
*a little trivia...Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora wrote Notorious for Slippery When Wet and decided to give it to Loverboy instead as it didn't fit with the rest of the songs chosen for the album...*
Subject: Re: Loverboy!
they probably do sound good still
not that i was a fan, they were a girls group mostly
it just cracks me up to see fat rock stars let themselves go...
like the lead singer of warrant?!?!?
man, he looks like a fat, dyed blonde she-male now!!
i saw some 30 something groupies hanging out with the warrant dudes on VH1 recently
they were hanging out in the tour bus with them...putting their hands all over their out of shape shlubby bodies and guts...heh=heh
the girls were cute but past their sexy teeny bopper prime!

Subject: Re: Loverboy!
I like Loverboy. Who cares if Mike Reno has gained weight, does that make him any less of a singer? Why do people have to slam the overweight? I mean, who the heck really cares if he is or not? >:(

Gotta agree with you Dag, who cares if he is overweight? Doesn't change his ability to sing! It's no wonder so many (especially women) people in America are bulimic, anorexic, killing themselves to try to be the ideal of what is desired.

THE KID IS FAT TONIGHT (LYRICS)
We just heard of a brand new RESTAURANT
and we hope it’s here to stay
We’ll have to wait and see
if it’s half of what they say
We heard he opened up a brand new FOOD COURT
well you know that’s what I’m lookin’ for
we’ll have to wait and see if it makes you shout for more
How do you like EATIN' THERE so far?
How do you like his APPETIZERS?
How do you like the way he rocks and the way he rolls?
How do you like his FRIES?
How do you like his BURGERS?
How do you like the way he looks SO FAT and the way he SPLITS HIS PANTS WHEN HE SITS?
CHORUS:
The Kid is FAT tonight
whoa so FAT tonight
but where will he be tomorrow? AT bURGER KING?
The kid, is FAT tonight
whoa so FAT tonight
but where will he be tomorrow AT cARL'S JUNIOR'S?
And we just heard of a brand new FRIED CHICKEN fad
and they say it’s gonna drive you mad
we’ll have to wait and see if it’s the best you ever had
and we just heard of a brand new FAT wave
we heard it’s headin’ for an early grave
we’ll have to wait and see if there’s anything we can save
The kid is FAT tonight
whoa so FAT tonight
but where will he be tomorrow
The kid is FAT tonight
whoa so FAT tonight
but where will he be, where will he be?
The kid is FAT tonight
whoa so FAT tonight
but where will he be tomorrow?
The kid is FAT tonight, whoa
I heard he's cracked a few toliet seats in his time!!!

I'm sorry this is totally off topic, and I really don't want to be a wet blanket or anything, but...can I slap Ringer? Please? Anyone else want to help? This is really annoying me. Ringer, you're really getting on my nerves with your immature insults. Grow up or go away...
Now, as for Loverboy: As a Canadian, I've heard my fair share of them on the radio and on MuchMusic (when it was cool) and now on MuchMoreMusic. I couldn't stand them then, and I can't stand them now. They are the tackiest band in in the world, right up there with Aldo Nova (who, surprisingly enough, is also from Canada. Is this a trend? Yes.) Mike Reno never looked good. He had no fashion sense whatsoever, and those red leather pants were just the icing on the cake. Don't knock the headband though. Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits) wore one and he made it look cool. Loverboy's music was terrible. Mike Reno could never sing, and he completely ruined "Tears Are Not Enough," our contribution to the Ethiopian famine effort of 1985.
If you want more examples of tacky Canadian bands, check out Haywire. Long sweatshirts, leggings and tube songs. Wussy music. Need I say more?
Absolutely Vile

Fellow Canadian here and I'd just like to say that yes, Loverboy WAS tacky but tacky was in in the 80s and they sold HUGE amounts of records. I'm not a huge fan either but you have to admit that A) Matthew Frenette is an amazing drummer (ex-Loverboy now with Tom Cochrane) and B) Paul Dean (Loverboy/Streetheart) and Aldo Nova are 2 of the finest rock guitarists this country ever produced.
PS: You left Helix and Kick Axe off your tacky Canadian bands list ;)

Ringer, don't care what those Canucks say, you make me laugh, and that's good enough. Poor Adam, his real name is Stuart Goddard, and he got busted last week for breaking windows in some bar, he told the authorities he was mentally ill. Does the poor guy really look like Curly?? lmao!

I worked an NKOTB concert once in 1990 or so (the horror, the horror!!! :) ). The shocking thing was seeing women in their 30's and 40's dressed up like little girls when the average age of the crowd couldn't have been over 16. :P
I'm still waiting for all the molestation stories to come out against this band some day... heheheh! ;D
