Hot Slut Of The Day!

Louise Robey - Star of the horror TV show "Friday the 13th: The Series," which ran from 1987-1990. In the mid-80s she recorded an album as "Robey."

Below is the video for her cover of "One Night in Bangkok." This video is fucking amazing. They don't make them like this anymore.

She was cute in her day. Great show by the way, I miss it.

I'd like to correct some bad info in other posts: Fri 13th The Series was on for three full seasons, it was not canceled after one season.

I've been waiting for people to catch up and remember Robey. I have all her old sh*t on vinyl! Even though she can barely sing, the album is great-- so funny. Esp when she raps.

I used to love that show! What the hell happened to her, she disappeared. Love that video, it reminds me of Laura Branigan's Self Control video

Damn, the 80's were rough. I don't even think this woman has been to Bangkok.

I am going to look up the show online to see if it will jog my memory. I used to enjoy watching "Tales From the Darkside" & "Tales from the Crypt" back in the day. I know that the Sci-Fi channel airs Tales... during the week.

Hi Sayonara. I will check it out. You should check the series, it was cancelled after one season but it was great, IMHO. It had Gary Cole as an evil sheriff raping, killing, maiming and trying to get a child (Lucas Black) under his control. It had I guess a big cult following, but not enough for CBS to keep it, it is now playing on Chiller.

I don't remember "American Gothic" the TV series, but I saw the movie. It starred Yvonne De Carlo, and her and the husband lived a life of simplicity with their children. After awhile you will notice that they are not "normal", and it is on and popping from there. You have to check it out if you can find a copy. It came out in the late 80's I believe.

Damnit I do not get Chiller here or at least I do not think so, anyone from NY Time Warner Cable that can confirm? I know those bitches not only have Friday the 13th the Series but American Gothic and I can watch that series any day...

Friday the 13th: The Series?
__________________________________________________

I watched the show every week back in the late 80's. Many of the episodes were not that scary to me. I preferred the show "Freddy's Nightmares" because that gave me a bit of a scare.

She looks beautiful and sexy. I saw her profile on milllionaire&celeb personals site """"C e l e b C u p i d.c o m""""""last week. It is said she is dating young billionaire on that site.

Strange song to do a cover on, but oh well. Couldn't make it through the whole video; got annoying after awhile.

The series is hitting DVD this next month. It was hated by all those lame-ass parental Media Watchdog groups and scared the hell out of many and '80s kid who either cajoled their parents into letting them watch it or just plain snuck down the stairs after they went to bed.

Pre-ordered!

I got a hard on everytime I saw her on that show. She ran around a farm naked??? Damn I missed it. They say she also appeared nude in some film... anyone see it???

I used to love this show when I was younger! I have been watching the reruns on the Chiller Channel.

mike's picture

The only episode of that show is the one with Vanity. That was one of her last gigs before she found Jesus and lost her sex appeal.

There was absolutely no reason to re-make that song, especially since she sang it in pretty much exactly the same style as the original.

Shoebox's picture

Why does she mention playing chess a dozen times during the song and what has that have to do with one night in Bangkok?

Is this something that should rattle my brain....sadly no but it beats all that book stuff that I've been studying!

I remember watching Friday the 13th every week when it was on. I really liked Robey on the show, but as a singer, I'm not so sure. Why in the hell would she remake such a sucky song?

I liked that show too, especially cousin Ryan. You can see reruns on the Chiller Channel. My parents have it on AT&T U-verse, which is not available in all areas:( When it's available here, I'm planning on never leaving my apartment again...

Thanks for the info. I was too lazy to look up when the musical came out versus the rest of the releases of this song! My hubby and I just saw Radiohead on Monday- my brain has been temporarily cleansed of the "pop bimbo". Now if MK posts about Brit, Xtina, Chestica, Trannycats or even Panatroll later today, I'll have to sit in the corner and rock myself back into a Zen state. Most of what's played on the radio can neither be said to have come from artists or even musicians. It's like lame ass television stars who feel like singing. Ewwww.

Umm. I thought this originated in the musical "Chess" from the dudes that used to make up ABBA.
***********************************

It was, actually. It's always been popular for bimbos to make "dance versions" of previously well-received songs - puts the public in it's comfort zone so we can like them:)

Recently, I've decided that dumbass bimbos are so popular in the music industry because they're easy to control. Well, mostly. A lot easier than artists, that's fersure.

I sort of like her rap...and the costume design is the shit!

LOL. I used to watch that show. It was her and Ryan and the bearded guy, I think and they inherited some curio shop or something and they had to collect all the posessed items. Oh and I have One Night in Bangkok on my iPod (blushes).

Gonnaburn...'s picture

Umm. I though this originated in the musical "Chess" from the dudes that used to make up ABBA. It is definitely in the show but ya'll are saying that it was done by a bunch of diferent bands. Did the musical steal it, or did they try to make some money by relaesing a single from a musical that originally tanked on Broadway???

Jimi didn't claim they weren't his pants?
do you still have a turntable for your LPs?

Almost as bad: I don't know how that got in my luggage? I don't have a turntable and it's too bad. I know that college kids are starting to play LPs again; someone asked me some really dumb questions about how they work. (What, can't they Wiki that stuff?)

I think that mug shot is from Toronto. Heroin and something else--acid? His defense was someone must have put it in his luggage. I'm surprised he didn't get 5 years in jail but I guess celebrity meant something even then.

I love that. Blondie's the original Crackie (of Camden) too bad she's not from Camden:( She's so much better at it. It's also too bad that, OBVIOUSLY, drugs have become way more harmful than they used to be - cuz all them crackies are still around for the most part.
