TIGF!!! (That's Incredibly Gay Friday): '80s style saxophone solos


There's nothing more gay than a saxophone solo from the '80s. There's nothing more horrible than a saxophone player that is stuck in '80s mode. This kind of saxophone player usually is in late night talk show bands. When a musical guest comes in, the gay '80s style saxophone player gets jealous and wants to throw in fills to show off. This turns what would be a great appearance from a talented group or artist into an episode of "Full House"--iz too many gay, holmes! Paul Schaffer is guilty of this, but he uses synthesizers instead, which actually makes things sound like the Full House theme song. I think that qualifies him as TIGF!!!, but that is for another post.

TIGF!!! It's part of the healing process.

I don't like the lame banter between the sax player and the late night host....ugh! Don't forget the feathered hair, must have feathered hair...

Vera~ Yes, how could I forget Zamfir! Grunty-O's--I think I need to call General Mills or Kellog's.

Christielli~ I think the best '80s sax soloing was from daytime talk show openers.

Rawbean~ Definitely on the hair and don't forget the shades and red leather jacket!

Pretty much everyting that happened in the 80's could be classified as gay. You should do a post on the gayest band of the 80's. Would it be New Kids On The Block?

Jules~ That would be a great post. While NKOTB would be right up there, I'm sure we could do better:D
