- 'Dirty Laundry' by Don Henley. This is a parody music video created in 1985 for a friendly contest between competing broadcasters. When Global TV in Toronto entered its version of Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" - starring "The News Brothers" - it was an instant smash hit. To many, this video sums up a whole decade of wonderful memories.

1. "This tired old man we elected king" gets me every time.

2. Absolutely, tragic for this country. When he was elected

and inaugurated I was in DC and it took weeks, months to recover from the shock and onset..

3. Tragic is the word for it!

I was working as a Fed a few blocks from the White House. All my coworkers and I were devastated. Some of them were RIF'd out of their jobs thanks to that grinning monster.

4. Henley is such a great songwriter.

End of the Innocence is so beautiful, I didn't realize he and Hornsby co-wrote this, but it makes total sense. I had heard each doing it on their own tapes and always loved the song. No wonder it has such great piano riifs, Hornsby played them, duh!

Such beautiful haunting music and words that are so effective at creating a mood.

Dirty Laundry is always such a fun song.

Wasn't it him that wrote "All She Wants to Do is Dance, or was that Frey? It's another excellent song.

6. I thought Henley was the one that released this.

It is a great song and he deserved all the success he got from it!

I hope he is doing well, he seems to have his head in the right place.
