Wednesday Hair Metal Videos

Featured artist: Karen Lynn Greening, formerly of Bellville, Ontario, and the original Metal Queen.
The thing I think I always liked most about her was how much fun she had doing this stuff. This is no-brakes, perilously-poppy, classic hair metal.

Second hit: Listen to that voice. Whiskey and velvet, high peaks and seductive lows. Mmmm.



I'd post "Hands On," and Nightriders but I need room for a couple of others here. This next one was probably her last real charted hit, and an important message. I find it a bit too much pop, but watch this one, and again: she's having a hell of a lot of fun with it.



I got to wondering where she'd gotten to, lately, and here's where: She moved to jazztown. Metal's loss is jazz's gain, I suppose. Yet I still find it vaguely disconcerting to hear the Metal Queen doing "Why Don't You Do Right? ... which is not the video below.



In a related and most appropriate vein, Mme Metro last saw Lee Aaron on stage in 120 Songs for the Marquis de Sade, lying on a table, nude, bellowing out a song whose main refrain was "£µ©λ me, £µ©λ me!"

YouTube, sadly, seems to be missing this little item.
