The darkhaired guy in this video is so gay, haha! Never thought of it like that when it came out - but well, the signs are there. =) I have to say I haven't been a Billy Idol fan, I was among the people who laughed at him in the mid-80s. He just seemed like a little boy with an oversized sexdrive and funny clothing. Haha. However, said that: when approaching the 90s he was pretty hot, he did not look so ridicilous and he was more masculine. I have to say I did dig him then. I've never owned any album of his though.
I did like this song, the video was funny and the whole thing was passionate, which was to my liking of course. This was around the time I discovered I was gay, so not much attention was paid to the girl dancing and rolling in her lingerie - I was more interested in Billy's chest, that twitching lip and he perfectly sculptured jaw. Come to think of it, maybe Billy was one of the very first male performers I thought was handsome. Not really interested in the pretty pretty boys like Tom Cruise - to me he's never been sexy, he is just too 'something', not hot. Too boyish for my taste. So, Billy had the roughness I was drawn to. No damn pussymen for me thanks! I wanted men to have some balls, okay (baby, that has not changed, ahahaha)?!!
So short and sweet, this is how Billy and the 'cradle' attaches themselves to my life. This is a great Friday song, so enjoy and make a hassle! Shake that cradle! =)
Here's the lyrics to "Cradle of Love":
Well rock the cradle of love/ Rock the cradle of love/ Yes the cradle of love don't rock easily its true
Well rock the cradle of love/ I rocked the cradle of love/ Yes the cradle of love don't rock easily it's true
Well now /It burned like a ball of fire/ When the rebel took a little child bride/ To tease yeah so go easy yeah
Cause love cuts a million ways/ Shakes the devil when he misbehaves/ I ain't nobodys fool
Come on shake it up/ Whatever I do
Rock the cradle of love/ Rock the cradle of love/ Yes the cradle of love don't rock easily its true
Sent from heaven above thats right/ To rob the cradle of love/ Yes the pages of don't talk decently it's true
Yeah flesh for your romeo/ Ah yeah baby/ I hear you moan/ It's easy you know how to please me yeah
This love starts my rollin' train/ You cant stop it/ It ain't in vain/ I ain't nobodys fool
Come on shake it up/ Whatever you do
These are the wages of love/ Rock the cradle of love/ These are the wages of love/ Ooh yeah
Rock the cradle/ Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Well it burned like a ball of fire/ When the rebel took a little child bride/ To tease yeah I know how to please you yeah
Well my love starts a rollin' train/ You cant stop it/ It ain't in vain/ I ain't nobodys fool
Come on shake it up/ Whatever I do
Rock the cradle of love/ Rock the cradle of love/ Sent from heaven above/ That's right
To rock the cradle of love/ Rock the cradle of love/ Yeah cradle of love/ That's me mama
I robbed the devil of love/ All right
Cradle of love/ If you teaze me tonight/ If you sleaze me all right/ If you appeaze me tonight
And let me ease you/ Cradle of love
