Cantstopsinging Date Submitted:  2013-03-15 [Archive Date: 2013-06-13] Genre:  ROCK Original Artist:  Billy Squier Additional Info:  Disc Mfg:    Disc #:   Description:  Info from Wikpedia: "Rock Me Tonite" is a song written and recorded by American rock artist Billy Squier. It was released in June 1984 as the lead single from the album Signs of Life. The song is his highest charting U.S. single, peaking at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Top Rock Tracks chart in late 1984. Despite its chart success, the single is associated with the end of Squier's career due to the music video, often described as one of the worst ever. It shows Squier putting on a pink tank top and making effeminate dance moves around a bed with pastel-colored satin sheets. Many viewers who saw it thought Squier was gay, or on drugs. It was directed by Kenny Ortega, the third director to be considered for the job. He had offered to make it despite reservations from the record label and Squier's management so MTV could air it as a World Premiere Video on the date Squier and his label had originally promised them. Squier's concert ticket sales immediately suffered, and he later fired his managers. He has accused Ortega of deceiving him and altering his original concept, which Ortega denies. I added some background vocals since the backtrack singers were quite faint. Thank you for listening Overall Rank:  Rank Unavailable Total Comments:  0 Listen:    Sorry, this submission has been archived.
