For no particular reason, here is a particularly weird video for Laura Branigan's 1984 summer hit "Self Control". Damn girl, control those eyebrows. Happy Monday!

Lost Hits (1996): Canadian Edition
A little tradition here at Happy Monday is to resurrect syrupy lost hits on Canada Day. This time we are concentrating on the mid-90's when it seemed any band could get a video played on MuchMusic.
First up we have The Gravelberrys featuring Paul Myers, brother of Mike (notice the resemblance) who had a minor hit with Wonder Where You Are Tonight. A fine little pop song.
Next up is Pluto with a driving slice of indie pop. The song Paste only reached #46 on the charts in 1996, although I remember the video being in heavy rotation.
And finally, here is Salmonblaster from London, Ont. The song Freeway is quintessential Canadian indie pop of the era. I always thought this song would have more success stateside.
