I want to welcome you 80s music video loving people to a Egyptian wonderland where Heart's Nancy Wilson can walk on water and strum her guitar in front of her adoring fans on some sort of industrial walkway. Oh and there is a lot of plastic tubing ... a lot of plastic tubing.
Yes, tonight's song There's The Girl is one of the examples of a really great song with a not so great music video.
It's not as bas as Journey's Separate Ways ... or at least that's what I keep telling myself.
I have to make a confession, for years I just naturally assumed that the song was sung by Ann Wilson. I was very surprised when I rewatched the video after all this time to discover that it was indeed her sister Nancy that sang it.
They are sisters so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they sound a lot alike.
Though this video is naturally a spotlight for Nancy, who the record company generally tried to show off as a sex symbol in Heart's videos during the 80s, it is Ann who get's my vote for 'sexiest woman in a beret '.

"There's the Girl" is a song recorded by the American rock band, Heart. It was composed by Holly Knight and Heart band member Nancy Wilson. "There's The Girl" was released in a remixed version as the third single from Heart's ninth studio album, Bad Animals. Knight is known as a very successful songwriter who was responsible for penning many hit singles during the 1980s.
Like Heart's 1986 #1 single "These Dreams", the lead vocals on "There's the Girl" were performed by Nancy Wilson, rather than Ann Wilson, the usual lead singer for the group (though most fans did not realize this until the video was released or they saw the song performed live). The single climbed to #12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was also a Top-40 single on the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #34.
