Music Appreciation
"Hee hee... Teetees!" That's what I said when Steve Perry's music video "Oh Sherrie" would play on MTV or TBS Night Tracks. I was only eight, but I knew seeing tits, even if it were covered, was taboo.
We're all adults now (plus, that was 30 years ago), so my take on this song and music video will be pure appreciation.
Steve Perry wrote the ballad "Oh Sherrie" with Randy Goodrum, Craig Krampf, and Bill Cuomo for his then-girlfriend Sherrie Swafford. The song was his biggest hit as a solo artist and was recently ranked by Rolling Stones Magazine as No. 89 of 100 Best Singles of 1984.
The music video, which was shot at the historic Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles, featured Steve Perry in a movie production set of what could be of a Renaissance wedding that turns into a ballad to Sherrie Swafford who comes to visit him on the set.
The braless Sherrie is wearing a white tank top, white ruffle skirt, and red stockings to go with the white pumps. Oh yes, the style of 80's.
She holds a fedora hat and coat, which she brings to Perry to lure him away from the set.
I too would be tempted if a very attractive blonde came to my work in a tank top, skirt and red stockings. Yes, the red stockings does do it for me.
