PREPARE TO SCREAM: VOLUME 08

It's been months since I've done one of these - the last one was Vol. 07 and have plenty more for future volumes.  

Starting off with a scream-worthy music video by none other than Menudo.  The first time I saw the group, they performed this song, "Quiero Rock"/"Gimme Rock" at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, around 1983-84, when Mattel had that fabulous He-Man/She-Ra float with all the characters and their respective figure's weapon - but in human size!  This looks like before Ricky Martin had joined Menudo, but was in the lineup performing at the parade.  Their old rule was "you're out when you turn 16 or when your voice matures - whichever comes first".  Now known as "MDO", that pedo-created rule no longer exists and pretty much all members are 16-20's.  

I'll still take Menudo over this "One Direction" shit.  "Quiero Rock" is IMO an early 80's pop gem, the Spanish or Americanized version.  Even if this is some of the gayest damn BS to come from that decade!  It's still amusing LOL
