Carribean Queen - Billy Ocean

William Ocean...the 80s wouldn't have been the same without this sparkling diamond. When I hear this jam, I can't help but be reminded of hot neon lights, shiny automobiles and mountains of cocaine. The only other thing in this world that does that is Don Johnson in a white sports jacket with the sleeves rolled up. Thank god!

This video, though the action seems out of sync with the audio, provides the user with various facets of Billy Ocean's seemingly exciting life as a crooning paramour. Oddly out of place, however, is the sequence involving the marionette saxophone player. Undoubted this is some contrived comment on the servile life of an 80s studio musician. This sort of heady reflection is in keeping with the fact that Billy Ocean (born Leslie Sebastian Charles) has a Doctorate in Music from the University of Westminster. That's Dr. Ocean to you, punk!
