Sexy Friday, the real Mid-July 2020 edition

This week has been a real scorcher temperature-wise with hot temps all over the southern United States. Sexy Friday, as always, is bringing you more heat in the form of hot Tik Tok girls to keep you sweating through the weekend.

More on that a little later.

Now, what do we want to talk about tonight?

The AFL has some great games tonight starting with the GWS Giants hosting the Brisbane Lions at 8:45 PM Pacific on Fox Sports 2. The Sydney Swans take on the Gold Coast Suns shortly after that game finishes at 11:35 PM Pacific on the Watch AFL app.

ESPN has the “MLS is Back” tournament from the cesspool that is Central Florida. ESPN has DC United against the New England Revolution at 5 PM Pacific while ESPN2 has Sporting KC against the Colorado Rapids at the same time. At 7:30 PM, ESPN continues the coverage with Real Salt Lake against Minnesota United. That is, of course, assuming games don’t get canceled/postponed because of the COVID.

That’s pretty much it for sports. There will be more soccer tomorrow with the lone EPL match between Norwich City and Burnley at 9:30 AM Pacific and the FA Cup Semifinal between Arsenal and Manchester City at 11:45 AM Pacific. I can feel the angst of the Arsenal fans all the way from the West Coast.

Today, I will be showing you Tik Tok girls that have something in common, but I won’t tell you what it is. It’s another hidden theme and we’ll see if anyone can guess it.

Without further ado, here are this week’s dirty dirty Tik Tok girls. Enjoy:

And now, the next episode of our new feature!

As I mentioned before, I’ve decided that I must take up the mantle that tWBS ran with and help to make this world a better place. I will do this in the one way he couldn’t: By introducing you to good music!

My aim each week will be to showcase a tune or band from the 80s (the best decade EVAR!) that not many people know about or have heard of. In this way, hopefully these artists will find new audiences and the old audiences can reminisce about what they were doing in the 80s.

Today is the second of a two-part post!

Last week, we delved into the music of Adam and the Ants. Today, we talk about the songs that Adam Ant released as a solo act. Granted, he really wasn’t completely solo as he had a backing band and that band had a few members of the Ants in it.

However, Adam did change his songs to reflect the New Wave sounds that were all the rage in the early 80s. In 1982, he broke up “Adam and the Ants” and released his first solo album, “Friend or Foe”. This album kept the use of two drummers and could be considered to be a natural progression from the last Adam and the Ants album.

It produced several massive hits, including my all-time favourite Adam Ant song, “Desperate But Not Serious”:

and “Goody Two Shoes”:

Finally, the title track, “Friend or Foe” got massive radio airplay:

As you can see, Adam went all out with the music videos and they were on heavy rotation on MTV back in the days when they actually played music.

The following year, Adam Ant released the album “Strip” with the title track garnering much attention and many sales:

Did a Young Balls dedicate this song to a girl he liked in middle school? Yes, he did! Did it work? No, it did not!

That album also produced a modest hit with Puss n Boots. Adam went back to the studio and shortly released “Vive Le Rock” which featured two hits, one being the title track, and the other called “Apollo 9”:

After 1985, Adam took a bit of a break from creating albums. He came back at the end of the decade with the album “Manners and Physique”. This album produced the hit, “Room at the Top”:

After another five year break, Adam came back with the album, “Wonderful”. Again, the title track was the standout. It remains one of my favourite songs ever:

Adam’s career took a turn as he got involved with television and acting and stopped recording. In addition, he went through some mental health issues that he is still dealing with to this day.

In 2013, he put out a comeback album entitled, “Adam Ant Is the Blueblack Hussar in Marrying the Gunner’s Daughter” which was a return to the days of his very first album with Adam and the Ants in the sense that it was experimental, raw, and did not follow conventions. It did fairly well in the UK, producing the hit, “Cool Zombie”:

Adam Ant was still playing shows at the time the pandemic hit. His 2020 tour was supposed to feature a song-by-song replay of the Friend or Foe album in a similar vein to what The Cure did with their Disintegration shows in Australia.

And yes, he still has TWO MOTHERFUCKING DRUMMERS PLAYING AT THE SAME TIME in his shows!

That’s all for this week, folks! Be good to each other and try to stay the fuck away from stupid people. That’s not COVID-19 advice, that’s just general good sense. See you next week!
