Babes of the Eighties

After a long hiatus, we return to that award-winning series. Tonight's feature, Kim Carnes. Best known Eighties hit: "Bette Davis Eyes." (Best know parady: Sillie Willie's s " Marty Feldman Eyes".)As far as I can tell, Kim is still out there, doing her thing, just like Cyndi Lauper and Pat Benatar.

LMC YIPS: The original post attributed the parody to Weird Al but faithful reader and zealous defender of all things Weird Al straightened me out. Thanks for the correction.

probably way too obscure here, but how about laurie anderson, leyna lovitch, and kate bush?

I'm 99% certain Weird Al never did a song called "Marty Feldman Eyes." He tends to get credited with any halfway-decent pop song parody, but as the owner of nearly every song he's ever written (even the movie theme songs he's done, including "This Is The Life" (Johnny Dangerously), "UHF," "Spy Hard," and "Polkamon"), and that ain't one of them.

Kim Carnes? Woof. I think you're scraping the bottom of the barrel here, guy.
