Musical Interlude: Stone Cold (1982)

 Rainbow's "Stone Cold" was the 1st single off 1982's "Straight Between The Eyes". The hook here is a recurring spot, usually during the bridge and/or chorus where singer Joe Lynn Turner is in a mirror room with some models with platinum wigs and plastic mannequin-esque masks.


If that bit with the mirrors looks familiar, a few months later, another British band, A Flock of Seagulls, would use the same gimmick with singer Mike Score in a similar sitch, in the video for "I Ran (So Far Away)", which was the Flock's 1st single, only the models here had dark hair and no masks.
