An actual rose bush plays ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’

What’s that, friend? You say you’re narcotized by modern life, and Cupid’s arrow has lost its sting? Love just doesn’t hurt like it used to do?

If hearing Bret Michaels serenade Rock of Love contestants with his 1988 hit “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” wasn’t painful enough for you, artist Michael Ridge has come up with just the thing to give this hoary old power ballad some spice. With the aid of a contact mike, Ridge has figured out how to play Poison’s hit on his turntable using a branch from a rose bush in place of a stylus arm, and like actual thorns doing the needle’s job.

Remember that one relationship that “really put you through some changes”? It felt just like this sounds. As I type this, I am suffering serious chest pain!

In this spandexcellent video, Poison perform “Rock Like A Rocker” on L.A. cable TV.

If you’re gonna rock, you oughta rock like a rocker as opposed to rocking like…I don’t know… a tuna fish sandwich.

Filmed sometime around 1985 before the release of their debut album, these Jennifer Beals wannabes look like they’re auditioning for Flashdance, Smell The Glove or the “before” video for a penis enlargement product.

This sucks like a sucker. But it is funny.
