Chris Isaak is a clever man.
You remember Chris Isaak, right?
Back in 1990 he'd written a new song, and the ensuing conversation with the record company must've gone something like this:
...
Chris Isaak - Hello, person representing the record company.
Person Representing the Record Company - Hello, Chris Isaak. How are you?
CI - I am well, for I have written a new song. It is called 'Wicked Game', and it will prove to be a massive hit.
PRTRC - Oh, rejoice, such great news. We must market this new song of yours properly, so that we can make as much money off of it as possible. I imagine you'll be wanting to make a music video. Any suggestions, Chris Isaak?
CI - Why, yes, person representing the record company, my ideas are as follows. I suggest we hire gorgeous top-model Helena Christensen to slowly strip naked in front of me on a white beach, after which she'll be rubbing her naked body up against me for the remaining three minutes of the video. How does that sounds?
...
And get this - he got exactly what he wanted!
Cheers

I would've chosen someone else.
Yeah, but you're a girl.
Cheers
That was a horrible song *lol* Geez. But I do remember the video. I also would've chosen someone else.
I refer you to my previous answer.
Cheers
That don't work with us, Martin!
dude i LOVED THAT SONG! i still do!!!
i think Helena is hot too. That we can agree on Mr. Martin!
First Angelina and now this... Damn you got really bad taste in women. :-)
Yeah the "You're a girl" thing doesn't cut it Martin. I'm bisexual, you know this. And I'm like...the worst kind of pig about women. But nice try.
Brynn and Lies - ganging up against me, are you?
Nique - Finally, someone agreeing!
Hay - yeah, I know, but try telling my girlfriend that. No, seriously, I can understand why someone wouldn't like Angelina, she a love-her-or-hate-her kinda person, but Helena Christensen?!
Come on! (I sincerely hope you were being sarcastic.)
Cheers
That video was awesome. She was hot, lies and brynn are crazy.
Agreed!
Cheers
Hey! I will not stand for such abuse!
Yada yada yada.
Cheers
Seriously I'm siding w/ the men on this one. How can you not think Helena is gorgeous?
I mean her eyes alone are captivating enough!
I'm not saying she's ugly, nique, I'm just saying I would've picked someone else myself. Someone more to my own liking, you know?
lies- I'm interested to know who your selection would be.
Would you go super model? actress? or just a hot "nobody"?
I don't know. I'd have to give that some serious thought... Supermodels would make me feel really selfconscious, so I don't think I'd go for them. Then again, actresses would do exactly the same thing, so... Hmm. Can I get back to you on this?
Yes, you can - I'll be expecting an answer by this time tomorrow.
Cheers
I've been thinking it through and I can't make up my mind, so I'm gonna go with the person that first came to mind: Cristina Scabbia. Looks lovely, has a nice singing voice, wears gorgeous clothes I could steal and is a nice person. Hehe.
Let's go over the list here:
- Looks lovely - ok, I can live with that.
- Nice singing voice - she doesn't have to sing, so that's useless.
- Gorgeous clothes - no no, no clothes; that's the entire point.
- She's nice - Now, who on earth cares about that?!
Cheers
Oh, Martin, you obviously didn't think this through.
1) gorgeous = sine qua non;
2) nice singing voice means there's room for a follow-up, i.e. I get to visit her in her clip;
3) gorgeous clothes I'm in desperate need of;
4) nice: this is the woman I'm going to have to be around all day, if not longer (see, for instance, 2), so she'd better be nice or I'd be chewing off my own head by noon. Besides (and this may be the woman in me talking), it's kinda nice to feel comfortable around the person you're going to get wet with.
There!
Okay, okay, okay already!
Whatever floats your boat. I'll have Helena and Angelina, and you can have this Cristina Scabbia person.
Capiche?
Cheers
You sure you don't want a nibble of mine?
Hmm.
You know what, I'll have all three, and you have none. How's that?
And you can't complain, because it's my blog anyway.
Cheers
You're a big meanie! :o(
But we (Cristina and I) will always have the kebab place. (I know, it's not exactly Paris, but still... it's the best I can do.)
She likes kebab, eh?
Thanks for the tip, I know this great kebab-place in Montmartre.
Cheers
I have absolutely no idea. We ran into two of her bandmates at this kebab place after one of their shows and when we walked out and saw their van, my friend wanted to go over there and ask her for an autograph. I felt ashamed, but I went along anyway. She might be a vegetarian for all I know. (Remind me to ask her before we start shooting the video. I don't want to kiss a meat mouth.)
I just realised - the only thing better than a Chris Isaak video with Helena Christensen stripping naked and all, is a Chris Isaak video with Helena Christensen stripping naked and all, and with Chris Isaak replaced by another woman.
What a brilliant idea of yours!
Cheers
Yeah, but then there wouldn't be a precedent, and you wouldn't get to have Helena at all! You'd just be a guy with a boner in front of the tube.
Meh, I'll settle for that.
Cheers
How very conservative of you. :P
Good night!
This was hilarious! Miss Scabbia is hot. I concur again. Nice choice.
And the whole boner statement was super funny! You two are like squabbling brother and sister! Great entertainment!
Yeah, but any statement about a boner is funny to you. Go on, admit it.
Cheers
you are sooo right! boner is a really funny word!
so is cooter!
Cooter you say?
Cheers
