Well played, Hot Sundae.

Many moons ago, while watching Saved By The Bell, I witnessed what, at the time, I assumed was the greatest music video ever made. "Break a Sweat (Go for It)", by Hot Sundae, was never played on MTV (don't worry the company got a very angry letter courtesy of an 11-year-old me) but it still held a special place in my heart.

Years later I was watching SBTB again, this time ironically, and was excited when I realized it was the Hot Sundae episode (note: I realize everyone else remembers this as the episode where Jessie gets addicted to caffeine pills and flips her shit on Zack).

Now I have to say I was worried because the SBTB moments I remember, like "the Sprain" or the episode where they have to get faux-married and Lisa gets paired with Screech and then hilariously pretends she can't speak English ("Lisa no en casa"), never quite live up to my memories. This is partly my fault as I always built up those moments to be more over-the-top than they actually were. I wasn't even satisfied when Jessie freaked out over her drug addiction because somehow, in my mind, I had built up that moment to the point where anything less than the girl actually eviscerating Zack Morris and setting her house on fire, after proclaiming how scared she was, equalled a disappointment.

But rest assured, my friends, when I tell you that the Hot Sundae music video was actually better/worse than I could have ever wished.

Before you watch the video, which I obvs linked below, please take a second and try to imagine how cliche, and 80's-tastic it could possibly be. Now prepare to be wowed when it actually exceeds your expectations! Multiple spandex bikini/bikeshort outfits with belts that hold up nothing? Check. Exercise infused choreography on mini-trampolines? Check. An ending where (I shit you not) they jump off the trampolines and freeze triumphantly in mid-air? CHECK.

ENJOY!
