"Simply Irresistible" is the first single released by English rock singer Robert Palmer from the 1988 studio album ''Heavy Nova'' and is presented in one of the most distinctive and memorable music videos of the 1980s. In 1988, the song reached #2 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 singles chart (behind "Sweet Child o' Mine") and was #1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for three weeks. It also earned Palmer his second Grammy Award the following year, and the song was nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Single.〔(BRITs Profile: Robert Palmer ). Brits.co.uk. Retrieved 14 April 2012〕 Along with "Addicted to Love" and "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On", "Simply Irresistible" is among Palmer's most recognized songs, in part because of the iconic music video by renowned British fashion photographer Terence Donovan, famously parodied in a Pepsi commercial in 1989, which in turn was parodied again in another Pepsi commercial during Super Bowl XXXVI featuring Britney Spears, and in 2014 it was parodied in Ingrid Michaelson's single "Girls Chase Boys". The videos show Palmer surrounded by enigmatic women, styled in the manner of the artist Patrick Nagel. The video featured the leading "supermodels" and leading dancers that he met while visiting the Kentucky Derby (Karen Aubrey McElfresh, Kim Jones and Cheryl Day); Donovan's lighting and direction set the style for that era of music videos. "Simply Irresistible" later appeared in the 1999 Tony Award-winning musical ''Contact''. It later featured in the 2000 cult drama picture American Psycho. The song was recently used in the 2013 animated special ''Madly Madagascar ''and in the video game ''Saints Row IV'', as well as the show ''Happy Endings''. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simply Irresistible (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
