Singer. Ceiling dancer. Inappropriate college professor? Lionel Richie broke the music video
mold with “Hello” and “Dancing on the Ceiling” in the mid-1980s. The songs remain classics, but
what about the videos? From pursuing a female student to wearing red to a black & white
party, Richie’s faux pas are on full display. Can his charisma have us see past his stalking of a
vision-impaired woman? Can Rodney Dangerfield’s humor still find a home in a dance number?
And, can the Old Roommates stop laughing at their own jokes long enough to get through this
episode? Listen to this.
