WHO IS SHE?|| Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (Official Video) REACTION

[@ursulabklyn_mia6148]

Chris sounds like a young Elvis. This video and song mesmerized everyone in the 90s. She was one of the 90s super models.

[@AdAm-dd4jq]

I always thought he sounded like Roy Orbison. Especially on this song

[@irishgrl]

You should hear him do the cover of Cant Help Falling in Love....it’s uncanny!

[@mariasingh7393]

@@AdAm-dd4jq I think so too

[@miriammontenbruck8022]

and he even looks a little bit like a young Elvis :D

[@JCourts2k23]

He is a huge Elvis fan

[@jenniferkasowicz9463]

“Strange what desire will make foolish people do” - one of my favorite lyrics

[@kbusby4824]

Great lyric.

[@toddcameron1289]

Nobody loves no one at the end of the song, It’s a double negative translating to everybody loves someone.

[@JackW467]

Hi Jennifer 🥺

[@4ujj]

After the first time I saw this video i was surprised my tv didn't burst into flame.

[@biff9999]

The first time my then-girlfriend saw this, she said, "I think I just got pregnant." Hahahahaha

[@darrellboone9274]

After this vid,your tv smoked a cigarette;that calmed it down😳

[@vickiroman189]

One of the most beautiful songs written.

[@SarahManley]

This song is the ultimate “haunting” riff!

[@robr135]

A toss up between this and the 'Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' for me.

[@tiacalhoun3841]

I agree, u should check out Blue Jeans by Lana Del Ray....it’s like the female version of Wicked Games

[@MRoyClark]

I used to work at Whole Foods in San Francisco, and Chris Isaak used to come through my line, every once in a while. He's just as handsome these days as he was 30 years ago in this video. And what a video! Herb Ritts, I think. Very fashion. Helena Christensen looking at her nails as he gazes at her adoringly is such a gut-punch. Very clever and sexy concept, with eye candy for everyone. "Wicked Game" married his Roy Orbison-Rockabilly approach with a dreamy Twin Peaks vibe, which made sense. It was featured in a David Lynch film (Wild at Heart, 1990) at the height of Twin Peaks' cultural influence. The song was not only his most popular but still probably his best. And he had many wonderful LPs. Only a few other hits (the wonderful "Somebody's Crying", "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing") dented the pop charts, but he's been a mainstay on Adult Alternative format radio for decades, now.

[@gretch8928]

Beautiful summation, including very cool tidbits I never knew.

[@karenward267]

Awesome analysis. Years ago, I saw him surfing at Ocean Beach. Just a regular, nice guy.

[@cartercarter645]

Senior Clark. Thank u I forgot about Twin Peaks. He was in the orig movie too. Preesh!!

[@MRoyClark]

@@cartercarter645 Yup! Chris Isaak appeared in the film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1993).

[@cncphilly]

Yes, Herb Ritts. Also directed Madonna - Cherish and Mariah Carey - My All. (All B&W) Definitely had a photographer's eye

@@VinzClorthokeymasterofGozer Norman isn’t married to his current baby mama either (Diane) they are just together and have a daughter. His son that he had with Helena is actually doing a lot of modeling. Both his parents modeled, so I guess he thought what the hell I’ll do it too! He looks like a taller, younger & skinner version of Norman. They are all super close too, Helena & Diane are good friends and Norman has always been a great co-parent with Helena even after they split up. I ❤️ Norman.

The backing vocal in the chorus lends an even darker element, it’s a strange feeling to hear such a beautiful harmony sing: “this world is only gonna break your heart”

[@rsjam4558]

No, the backing vocal sings: "this girl is only gonna break your heart". Makes the song much more bitter and beautiful.

[@haroldlipschitz9301]

@@rsjam4558 Ummm no, it’s ‘world’ not ‘girl’. Check any live performance or lyric script.

[@brt5273]

Sooooo glad you did this! Probably the most beautiful music video ever made. In an interview Chris said that Helena removing her swimsuit top was not planned, she was just improvising sponteneously to the song being played as they filmed. Certainly captured some magic. Hard to believe this was over 25 years ago. Helena is still a beauty.

[@brigittehuard4902]

The beautiful 90s supermodel Helena Christensen 💚 This song is a fave, great reaction!

[@candicedonaldson4259]

[@SpaceCattttt]

The song is like an auditory hallucination. I've always said that it should've been on the soundtrack to the original Twin Peaks.

[@CoffeeConnected]

David Lynch did use it in Wild at Heart though. He used a handful of Chris Isaak songs in that film.

[@mnomadvfx]

I could have sworn that Isaak even played a part in Twin Peaks once. He certainly played a short part in Silence of the Lambs as one of the SWAT officers responding to Lecter's escape.

Chris Isaak was in the movie Silence of the lambs before this song came out. He played a cop in Atlanta where Hannibal escaped. Love his voice.

[@Sotto_]

Correct. He was one of the police officers in the elevator scenes.

[@andrewg3768]

It was actually orginally released two years before that as the Album and Single came out in 1989 so this filmed would have been made a year after that I think and released in 1991. This song wasn't a bit hit till 1990 though after being on a film.

[@falcongal63]
