Sucker For A Pretty Face by Eric Martin Band

[@MikeRuh01]

This song just popped into my head after probably not hearing it for decades yesterday. Great song.

[@greggfeingold5629]

A very underappreciated reminder about how much fun it is to be young. Thanks for posting

[@datsnuffydude5460]

I saw these guys in Tulsa in ‘87, when they opened for Eddie Money, third row seats at the old floating amphitheater. EMB coulda held their own as a headliner. They were great.

[@jetdrums1]

I remember when these guys were known as 415 playing at Keystone Palo Alto. Good times.

They were on the verge of super stardum they had the same management as Journey.

You should of seen em at 18........always looked like a little kid. But his voice......he grew up to a pretty cool dude though so win!!

[@dicksonkrieger6084]

You're wrong! His voice changes by the time, nowadays he can't reach the highest notes and sounds very weary.

[@catnip2167]

@@dicksonkrieger6084 I noticed that too. Nowhere near where he used to be!

@hdlee62 ...no, that video was for the song "Don't Stop"...off the same "SUCKER" LP/CD....I saw it once before it was pulled...by todays standards it was very tame....

[@bobdavis4848]

I'm guessing you saw it on "San Francisco Hot Rock" which aired it just once and I taped it...especially great to see the third scantily clad model who had the snake and who appears again with the other two in the end part behind the band.

[@shyrleysilveyra5285]

She's as fast as a train in the station Like a dangerous drug from a pharmacy I don't want to rub her the wrong way I'm kind of afraid of what she'll do to me She's got looks that cause a reaction She makes my heart beat fast and My knees grow weak Today she holds my life in her two hands Tonight I'll take her out in the back seat That girl has a bad reputation She'll burn ya like a tip of a cigarette I'm under the spell of her action So far she hasn't whipped me yet Well, I'm a sucker for a pretty face I can't judge a book by its cover Sucker for a pretty face The same old story I know my time will come when she leaves me For another sucker for a pretty face I keep one eye open at midnight Or else she'll kill me in my sleep That girl has a bad reputation She'll burn ya like a tip of a cigarette I'm under the spell of her action So far she hasn't whipped me yet Well, I'm a sucker for a pretty face I can't judge a book by its cover Sucker for a pretty face It's the same old story that girl has a bad reputation She'll burn ya like a tip of a cigarette I'm under the spell of her action So far she hasn't whipped me yet I'm a sucker for a pretty face I can't judge a book by its cover Sucker for a pretty face Pages are blank, it's the same old story Sucker for a pretty face I can't judge a book by its cover Sucker for a pretty face It's the same old story A pretty face Same old story Sucker! ______________________________________ Ella es tan rápida como un tren en la estación Como una droga peligrosa de una farmacia No quiero frotarla por el camino equivocado Tengo miedo de lo que ella me hará Ella tiene miradas que causan una reacción Ella hace que mi corazón lata rápido y Mis rodillas se debilitan Hoy ella sostiene mi vida en sus dos manos Esta noche la llevaré en el asiento trasero Esa chica tiene mala reputación Ella te quemará como una punta de cigarrillo Estoy bajo el hechizo de su acción Hasta ahora ella no me ha azotado aún Bueno, soy un fanático de una cara bonita No puedo juzgar un libro por su portada tonto por una cara bonita La misma vieja historia Sé que llegará el momento en que ella me deje Por otro; tonto por una cara bonita Mantengo un ojo abierto a la medianoche O bien, ella me matará mientras duermo Esa chica tiene mala reputación Ella te quemará como una punta de cigarrillo Estoy bajo el hechizo de su acción Hasta ahora ella no me ha azotado Bueno, soy un fanático de una cara bonita No puedo juzgar un libro por su portada tonto por una cara bonita Es la misma vieja historia esa chica tiene mala reputación Ella te quemará como una punta de cigarrillo Estoy bajo el hechizo de su acción Hasta ahora ella no me ha azotado aún Soy un fanático de una cara bonita No puedo juzgar un libro por su portada tonto por una cara bonita Las páginas están en blanco, es la misma vieja historia tonto por una cara bonita No puedo juzgar un libro por su portada tonto por una cara bonita Es la misma vieja historia Una cara bonita La misma vieja historia ¡Estúpido!

[@bobdavis4848]

No, "Don't Stop" was the Eric Martin Band video MTV banned. I taped it off "San Francisco Hot Rock." I'll describe it if someone asks me to.

[@beautyblender1510]

Yes, can you describe it? I've been looking for it, thank you

[@bobdavis4848]

@@beautyblender1510 I am sorry I somehow didn't see your reply two years ago; I hope you are still checking! OK...For anyone who found this song or especially video offensive, there was really no editing it; the whole thing is steamy. The video was shot in downtown San Francisco. In the intro of the video, when you hear “push…pull…hot”, Eric from a distance is entering a peepshow club at night, in an an area where “see live girls” style neon signs are. Then when the real lyrics start, Eric appears to be singing them into a red phone behind glass, to the dancer model in the performance-for-just-the-customer area. Alternating edits, sometimes split screen, of the a sexy dancer with Eric in the black booth room acting very eager on the phone with the lyrics. Then there is another sexy dancer who does a jerky water spray dance around the time of the lyric “Kissa kissa lick me soaking wet.” (Eric does not actually get anyone’s tongue on him in the video.) The third dancer model, long blonde brown hair, appears twirling first with the lyrics “Boogie boogie queen in the raw.” Well she is not quite in the raw of course but she is looking really sexy in her skimpy exotic bikini type costume. The camera angles (like down at hip level and looking up) and closeups of this model’s alluring figure are quite suggestive. Plus she has a (very lucky) python snake, usually draped around her neck and shoulders. But at one point she is lying down while the snake is slithering up between her legs while flicking his tongue at his naughty destination. At the lyric “Ya got me coming on to ya, like a raging bull” she leaps up again with the snake and twirls again. That’s where Eric goes crazy and smashes the glass with his fists so it shatters. That third model dancer is running away from him now (without the snake)…her expression looks nervous / scared but not terrified, more like she’s thinking “uh oh, I’m outta here.” Closeup of her feet running down the hall. Eric runs after her. Closeup of his sneaker feet running down the hall. Eric’s out in the street now. The dancer model got away. Frantic Eric runs around trying to find her. He ends up dashing into a different club and now finally we see the rest of the band, performing or miming instruments as if it was a video shoot (which it was). Eric leaps up among them in singer position at the three minute mark and does the “Oh” lyric. Suddenly we see all three of those sexy dancer performer models are moving behind Eric and the band. (The expression of the third one he was chasing is not nervous anymore, back to acting very self confident as the others do). They rest of the video is edits of Eric and band members doing their musical thing to the song, and of the models in the background doing their alluring moves. Especially the most fantastic of the models, who used to have the snake, is being really hot with her wiggly sway of her tummy and hips here. The last part of the video shows a rear view of the performing band in the center, while closeup swaying hips of model three and one of the previous are seen. At the end guitar chords, model 3 has her pretty hand at her closeup moving hip (like she knows she’s sexy).
