EPIC: Sen. John Kennedy Says Biden Can't Win With the Campaign Slogan 'I'm Only Senile Some of the Time'

Long-Simmering 'Shakespearean' Strain Between the Bidens and Their Aides Threatens to Break Wide Open

A long-running heat wave that has already shattered previous records across the U.S. will persist, baking parts of the West with dangerous temperatures that will soar into the 100s and holding the East in its hot and humid grip throughout the week, forecasters said...

We can sum up the look and sounds of certain decades, talking about vibrant colors and sharp angles, funky architecture and stylish cars. But the fastest way to sum up the very best of the ’80s to someone would be with the song “Tell It to My Heart” by Taylor Dayne; nothing else needs to be said once they listen to that. That catchy beat might be enough to concisely show why the 1980s produced the best music, but for Dayne herself, that song represented only the beginning—the beginning of her platform to share more great tracks with us eager fans. It’s no wonder “Tell It to My Heart” is at once the ultimate nostalgia rush and the start of something great. “Tell It to My Heart” was the start of Taylor Dayne giving us great, funky hits Songwriters Seth Swirsky and Ernie Gold, who worked for Chappell Music, are the brains behind the composition of “Tell It to My Heart.” While today, we know that the track would land in the Billboard Hot 100 chart, back then, the dynamite duo nearly ditched the song altogether. Because Swirsky and his girlfriend thought the song wasn’t good enough, he came very close to not delivering it to his publisher. RELATED: This Fleetwood Mac Performance Of “Go Your Own Way” Is A Front Row Seat To Breaking Up That’s exactly the kind of underdog energy Dayne was looking for when she reached out to Chappel with a very specific, unique request: send over demos that had been overlooked. Technically, “Tell It to My Heart” didn’t qualify, because it had been recorded by Louisa Florio in ’87, but once she heard it, Dayne and that song drifted together like magnets. Of the many things that stood out to her, Dayne specifically noted, “I thought there was something about the hook – it’s a happy hook.” The sound of the ’80s that everyone keeps coming back to Taylor Dayne made Tell It to My Heart the definitive song, sound, and look of the ’80s / Oscar Abolafia/Everett Collection (TAYLORDAYNE2) Today, nobody can still get enough of “Tell It to My Heart,” as performed by the talented, upbeat, melodious Taylor Dayne. Upon release for Dayne’s 1988 debut album, Tell It to My Heart, the track moved around in the Billboard Hot 100 chart, starting at 92 before nestling comfortably in the top 40, peaking at 39, and settling back to 43, before rocketing to number 7. It stayed on the Hot 100 for a whopping 25 weeks, but hundreds of thousands of fans are still listening to it like no time has passed at all. Just one posting of it on YouTube has over 122 million views. They come from all backgrounds, all walks of life, places, and experiences—and they are all united in their love of this song as the perfect, representative sound of the ’80s. “This is literally the 80’s in one video,” one viewer noted of the overall performance in the music video. “Distressed Denim, primary colors blocking, big crimped hair, and synthesizers galore. I love it.” After almost not existing, the track became the beat everyone can dance to decades later / YouTube screenshot Another dubbed it the ultimate “Top 10 ‘this is what the 80’s sounded like’ song.” Another listener got sent on a trip down memory lane, reminiscing, “Why is it that once you start listening to these fire 80’s hits, you end up binging on all 80’s music for hours on YouTube? Nothing and I mean straight up nothing will ever dominate the music, culture and fads of the 80’s! So blessed to have lived and experienced the enlightening 80’s. This 54 year old will always be an 80’s child!” Even Dayne, today 62, returns to “Tell It to My Heart,” which not only made her a household name and a regular of the airwaves, but established her as someone you could count on to provide a catchy beat that’s easy to dance to no matter the decade. Just last autumn, Dayne teamed up with electronic dance music trio Cash Cash to perform the song on Good Morning America. This was part of a bigger plan to give the song a modern remix, with Dayne telling co-host Lara Spencer, “This is the 35-year anniversary of ‘Tell It to My Heart,’ and if you’re going to remix it, you’re gonna do it. You’re gonna do it right.” As for Cash Cash, they’re just as hooked as the rest of us have been all these years, with the band proudly sharing, “This song was always blasting in our parents’ cars when we were growing up, and hope you guys do the same with this version.” But there’s always something special about the original, so bring on the nostalgia and give it a listen or two or three!

Since the show’s advent in the mid-’70s, involvement in Saturday Night Live has become a rite of passage for stars across generations and genres. We’ve seen everyone from the groundbreaking Desi Arnaz to the modern icon Kit Harrington play host. But Farrah Fawcett never hosted Saturday Night Live. Why? It was 1976 when photographer Bruce McBroom’s picture of Fawcett clad in a red swimsuit took America by storm and made Fawcett a familiar face in homes everywhere. Her fame doubled with her sizzling performance in Charlie’s Angels, yet none of this was apparently enough to warrant an invite to host the esteemed sketch program. But there is actually a very specific reason why Facett, of all icons, did not get the gig. A communication error kept Farrah Fawcett from ‘Saturday Night Live’ SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, producer Dick Ebersol, 1975-, ©NBC/courtesy Everett Collection Saturday Night Live producer Dick Ebersol revealed that actually, yes, this dream collaboration of having Fawcett host SNL was on everybody’s to-do list. But one communication conundrum made this obvious teamup a near impossibility. RELATED: Farrah Fawcett: Remembering Her Glamorous Years In Photos, 15 Years After Her Death “I remember once in California being asked if I would sit down with Farrah at the height of all her popularity, which was pretty amazing,” recounted Ebersol. The meeting was between himself, Fawcett, her agent, and her then-boyfriend Ryan O’Neal. He continued, “Certainly at its heights, there were very few that rivaled it in television.” But, he added, “She didn’t do very much talking, a really nice woman.” Instead, it was O’Neal who tried taking control of the conversation—and the arrangement. “Ryan [O’Neal] kept pressing if she was gonna do the show, they would have to see all the scripts for all the sketches about nine or 10 days before the show.” Different worlds struggled to find common ground Farrah Fawcett was exploding onto the scene when she might have hosted Saturday Night Live / © Warner Brothers/courtesy Everett Collection Speaking with Archive of American Television, Ebersol hypothesized that O’Neal did not understand just how Saturday Night Live operated, leading him to make demands for Fawcett that were incompatible with the show’s protocol. CHARLIE’S ANGELS, Farrah Fawcett, ‘Consenting Adults’, (Season 1, episode 110, aired December 8, 1976), 1976-1981. ph: ©ABC / courtesy Everett Collection “I think taking into recognition that it was clear that they didn’t know, I didn’t jump up and down or anything,” shared Ebersol, “just said, ‘That’s absolutely not possible. You’ll be very lucky if the sketches exist in good order in the middle of the week of the actual show. And Farrah’s monologue may not exist until 11 o’clock on Friday night or God forbid, 9 o’clock on Saturday morning.’” So, both parties failed to reach any middle ground, and Fawcett, for all her cultural impact, did not join the ranks of those icons who hosted Saturday Night Live.

The family that acts together… may or may not stay together, actually. But with Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, and their famous family of movie stars, it’s a pretty safe bet. Proud mother of three Hawn wants to do one big film project with the whole gang—and she wants to do so before time runs out. 78-year-old Hawn is the mother of Oliver and Kate Hudson, as well as Wyatt Russell, who she shares with fellow actor Kurt Russell. The whole quintet is active in the entertainment industry, with Wyatt and Kurt already appearing in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters as the same character at different ages. But Hawn is dreaming of a project that everyone can get involved in. Goldie Hawn wants to do a movie with the whole family Goldie Hawn wants to make a movie with her whole family / Birdie Thompson/AdMedia Hawn recently sat down for a chat on SiriusXM’s Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa. There, Ripa proposed some familial, holiday-themed plotlines that might make a good group project for Hawn and her family. Her initial proposal was a Thanksgiving-themed reality show featuring Hawn’s kids. This inspired Hawn to share one of her biggest dreams.

It would be so fun and so crazy and oh my God.” In terms of logistics, Hawn acknowledged, “It’s all about a writer. … I have to get permission first from my family.” Possible ways this family project could go Some family members have already worked together / ©MGM/courtesy Everett Ripa had some ideas up her sleeve. “Here’s how it goes: You tell them you’re having a party for Kurt,” she proposed. “What they don’t realize is it’s a party scene for the opening of the movie, so they just all arrive and then after the first scene is shot, surprise, surprise.” From there, she urged, “You pitch the idea for the movie and you’ve already got the opening scene in the can. They can’t argue with it. The establishing scene has happened.” The famous Hollywood couple worked together to care for three children as part of a blended family / Instagram “Oh my god,” Hawn exclaimed in response, “It’s really true though. It’s a mess. It would be a mess.” The wait may not require a secret party episode, however, as Hawn did tease a movie she and her family were working on together already. She shared, “We might do something with Oliver that is a cartoon, so in other words, we would all be the voices of that. That would be a lot of fun.” MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, Kurt Russell (front), on screen, from left: Anders Holm, Wyatt Russell, Anna Sawai, ‘The Way Out’, (Season 1, ep. 105, aired Dec. 8, 2023). photo: Diyah Pera /©Apple TV+ /Courtesy Everett Collection RELATED: The Dangers Of Marriage Made Goldie Hawn Not Want To Marry Kurt Russell Click for next Article The post Goldie Hawn Wants To Make A Movie With The Whole Family Before They’re “Too Old” appeared first on DoYouRemember? - The Home of Nostalgia.
