Bruce Springsteen‘s ‘Dancing In The Dark’ music video.Yesterday, the Friends and Scream actress took to Instagram to join in on the viral ’80s dance trend, for which young social media users ask their parents to recreate how they danced in the 1980s over ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat.The clip sees Cox start off wearing a blue jacket as she waves her arms in the air before shrugging and taking the jacket off to reveal a Bruce Springsteen t-shirt. She then begins to dance like she did in the ‘Dancing In The Dark’ music video before the post cuts to clips of said music video.A post shared by Courteney Cox (@courteneycoxofficial)Cox, who was fairly unknown at the time – she only had one acting credit to her name for As The World Turns – was cast as a fan for the 1984 music video.

1984 music video for Bruce Springsteen’s hit song “Dancing in the Dark.”Cox, 59, did the impromptu performance for a new TikTok trend and shared a clip of it on social media on Sunday.In the video, the “Friends” alum is wearing a blue sweater and jeans as she awkwardly dances to “Smalltown Boy” by Bronski Beat.The words, “Asking my mom how she danced in the 80’s,” pop up on the screen.Then, Cox suddenly rips off her sweater to reveal a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band T-shirt, as she enthusiastically dances to “Dancing in the Dark.”The video also cuts to a clip of Cox and Springsteen, now 74, dancing onstage in the music video that came out 40 years ago. “1980’s dancing…in the dark,” Cox captioned the clip. Fans were obsessed with Cox revisiting her past and praised her 2024 dance moves.“Welp.

Bon Jovi made their debut 40 years ago with their 1984 self-titled album featuring their hit “Runaway,” they were compared to the likes of Loverboy.Words like “characterless” and “nondescript” were used to describe their music in a review by the Washington Post, which called out Jon Bon Jovi’s singing as “high, hysterical screaming.”The review went on to slam his songwriting, saying: “He writes dumb songs about women.”And the review concluded with one final dig. And I quote: “The band’s brand of antiseptic hard rock only makes you want to cheer on all the more the undiluted heavy rockers like Motley Crue.”Ouch.

In these days of extreme political polarization, one longs for signs of unity and humanity, even if we have to reach back nearly 40 years in the wayback machine to find it.

Mark Sutherland As he picked up his Ivor Novello Award in London Thursday, Bruce Springsteen told a story about the first time he came to the U.K.’s capitol city. In 1975, Springsteen and his band arrived at Heathrow Airport famished, and went in search of a cheeseburger — only to find that such exotic cuisine had yet to make it to that side of the pond, with only fish ‘n’ chips available.
