Behold, the new video for the Kings of Leon's "Sex On Fire." Despite the song's title, the video sadly features no sex, no fire and definitely no sex on fire. The clip does have plenty of chickens, sweat and exorcisms, if that's any consolation. It also looks strangely similar to Madonna's "Like A Prayer" video, with all the crucifixes and Biblical allusions. "Sex On Fire" is the first single from the band's new album Only By The Night, due out September 22nd.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
