Hello

There is a Starburst commercial that is currently running that plays off the famously cheesy Lionel Richie video, "Hello." The commercial makes me laugh every time I see it. Perhaps it's the thought that every time it airs, Lionel Richie gets another royalty check, which he then passes on to his "daughter," Nicole, who turns around and spends it on booze and eye makeup.

I haven't seen the actual video in probably 15 years. So I went in search online. It didn't take very long to find this web site that has a link to an .mpg version of the complete video. Ah, the memories came flooding back to when MTV actually showed videos. Remember that?

When you visit this site, you may notice it's actually about a dude who tried to make his own "Lionel Richie" head. The whole thing is pretty sad and marginally amusing. No less, I thought I'd share. Enjoy.
