Video Vault: Foreigner -- Urgent
I'd do something creepy for Halloween, but that's just not me, and hopefully slapping this together will give me something else to think about other than the worry that Hurricane Sandy could wipe out a counseling session that would be very important to me on Tuesday (I hope that one comes off okay...)
So, for bands that tended to hit, and hard, in the late '70s and early '80s, few hit harder than Foreigner. Their debut album saw four songs hit the top ten, and although they pared to a quartet (they were originally a sextet), Mick Jones was still lead guitarist and the group kept on rolling. Each of their first four albums is a must for classic rock fans of the era.
Here's one of their better known '80s efforts, "Urgent", from 1981's 4. This song was particularly notable for featuring JR Walker on saxophone.

You're not shy, you get aroundYou wanna fly, dont want your feet on the groundYou stay up, you wont come downYou wanna live, you wanna move to the soundYou've got fire in your veinsBurning hot, but you dont feel the painYour desire is insaneYou can't stop until you do it againBut sometimes I wonder as I look in your eyesMaybe youre thinking of some other guyBut I know, yes I know, how to treat you rightThats why you call me in the middle of the nightYou say it's urgentSo urgent... So oh oh urgentJust wait and seeHow urgent my love can beIt's urgentYou play tricks on my mindYou're everywhere but youre so hard to findYou're not warm or sentimentalYou're so extreme, you can be so temperamentalBut I'm not looking for a love that will lastI know what I need and I need it fastYeah, there's one thing in common that we both shareThat's a need for for each other anytime, anywhereIt gets urgentSo urgentYou know its urgentI want to tell you it's the same for meSo oh oh urgentJust you wait and seeHow urgent our love can beIts urgent(Instrumental, about 48 seconds)
