The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It’s strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you.
Taken from the song Wicked Game by Californian singer Chris Isaak from his third album Heart Shaped World (1989). The music video famously featured Isaak and supermodel Helena Christensen frolicking naked.

Love this track.
His voice is perfect for it. He acts too. He was even in a Friends episode.
His voice is absolutely amazing, and the video is pretty awesome too.
I love this song so much. There’s something so brooding yet very sensual about it. And the music video is super hot.
Brooding yet sensual is apt. It really is impossible to think of the song without the video.
It’s such a sexy but classy video. And Helena Christensen looks absolutely beautiful in it.
No argument here.
She has those eyes that are steely and sultry.
Since I saw this post, I’ve listened to the song again and it’s still glorious.
The best music really is timeless.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Thanks Vinnie š You know I’m a big fan of your blog.
And I’m a huge fan of yours too Alex.
I LOVE this song! And the video is smokin’!
The song won quite a few awards for sure. He#s probably been able to retire on the profits of this song alone.
I’ll bet, and deservedly so! š
Smoking is the perfect word for the music video.
Love that gif.
This is one of my favourite songs.
It’s a classic for sure. The perfect voice for such a mournful song.
