"Every Boys Fantasy" by Dan Hill

When most people hear the name Dan Hill they, well they probably don't remember anything unless they're from his native land of Canada. He had plenty of hits there, but limited success in the US.

Most people will recall his two biggest hits, the ballads "Sometimes When We Touch," which hit #3 in 1977 and "Can't We Try," which hit #6 in 1987. The latter came from his self-titled 1987 record (his debut 1975 record was also self-titled) and was a duet with Vonda Shepard. Her stunning vocal no doubt played a major role in getting Hill back on the charts after a ten year absence, but they didn't even spell her name right on the album (Sheppard). Nevertheless, Shepard made out just fine and soon went on to be a regular on the show Ally McBeal.

But Hill did more than just ballads. A pretty groovy cut from his 1987 album that actually jams a bit is "Every Boys Fantasy." If you're looking for a laugh that encapsulates everything that was wrong about the 80s, check out "Pleasure Centre."
