Alsmaar klikken op YouTube levert soms verrassende beelden op, zo blijkt ook hier weer...
Een videoclip van Olivia Newton-John voor het nummer "Culture Shock" met op drums niemand minder dan Eric Singer!
Hij heeft verder geen aandeel in het nummer op de plaat, alleen ingehuurd voor deze clip.





Hier een stukje uit een interview uit 2010 waarin Eric beschrijft hoe het zover kwam:

 "Although released in 1985, it was actually filmed in 1984. It was recorded at the old Starwood Club in Hollywood. I'll give you a couple of fun tidbits. Olivia Newton-John was pregnant at the time so that's why you never see a lot of good body shots and her clothes are kind of looser. She was like five or six months pregnant during the taping of that. And her nephew played bass in the video, I remember he was Australian and he told me he was her nephew. And I was just hired to be in the video and the way it happened was, David Mallet, he had done a couple of Lita Ford videos and when he went to do the video they wanted to use a more rock-looking band for Olivia Newton-John's video. So he called up one of the guys in Lita's band and said, "Hey, I want to use the band guys for this video." Well, I had done Lita's videos. Randy Castillo was the drummer before me in Lita Ford. The other two guys, Gordon Copley and Bobby Donati, were also in Lita's band. And I think David Mallet called Gordon, the bass player, and said he wanted to use us for Olivia's video. So Gordon called me up and that's how I got hired.

I was always spinning the sticks a lot. So I remember David Mallet saying, 'Let's get some shots of the drummer because he's doing that cool stick thing.'"
