Ann Coulter's Inspiration: Robert Palmer

Earlier, I posted a video clip of comedienne, Kathy Griffin, who compares Ann Coulter to a "Robert Palmer Girl." I was reminded of this when my MP3 player picked Addicted to Love immediately after I Didn't Mean to Turn You On today. I got to thinking, and remembered a regular feature on TowleRoad.com is aYouTube roundup, with a four-way split screen.

I think I learned how to do it! So, here are four "Robert Palmer Girls" videos. The first, Addicted to Love, was the original, and the girls sort of just played musical robot/mannequins. In the second, I Didn't Mean to Turn You On, the mannequins are joined by dancers with really bad 80s fashion sense. The third video is a Pepsi commercial (Robert sells out), and the fourth, Simply Irresistible, the ultimate culmination (and I think final installment) of the concept.

Robert Palmer died on September 26, 2003 of a heart attack at age 54. But his legacy lives on, with his "lip girls!"

I really wanted to include a video of the 1989 Geena Davis appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she played a "Robert Palmer Girl" in a skit called "The Robert Palmer Bunch," a Brady Bunch-inspired sitcom, with all of the girls living with Robert Palmer in suburbia. It was quite funny, but I can't find a video clip The best I could do was this photo. Yes that is the (unfortunately) late Phil Hartman as Palmer.
