"Renaissance" The Village People (1981)
The Village People had an image problem in 1981.
They were a disco band at a time when disco was pretty much dead.
Their old label, Casablanca had just been acquired by PolyGram and PolyGram went straight to work dropping all the old disco acts from it's roster, Donna Summer went to Geffen and The Village People signed to RCA. And they revamped to a new wave image.
Out went the costumes, in came SUPER dorky outfits, makeup and really, really, bad hair.
This was the album's only single: "Five O' Clock In The Morning"
This is considered one of the WORST album covers of all time......

Clocky
I never want to own a Clocky. And I may seriously hurt the person who gives one to me.
Apparently, it's an alarm clock. that jumps off your nightstand and makes you chase after it as it beeps away.
Apparently, somebody thinks the Clocky is a CUTE idea. And as a man who HATES to wake up early in the morning (this post was scheduled in advance, there is no way in hell I am getting up at 6:30 in the morning to write ANYTHING), I hope he/she spends their afterlife eternally chasing their inventions.......
I actually thought this thing was a JOKE because I started seeing it all over my Facebook page, but apparently yes, this is a REAL product.
