Lunchtime musical interlude: Give it up for Carl Lewis

YouTube regulars may already be familiar with this attempt by Olympic track and field star Carl Lewis to leverage his athletic triumphs into a recording career back in the late 1980s. But for folks who don't comb the Internet for campy videos, this music gem will be, to put it kindly, a revelation of sorts. In honor of the 20th anniversary of Lewis' 1987 pop-reggae debut (and swan song), we bring you Break It Up. And no, there's nothing wrong with your computer, the video pixilates a little on some of the action scenes. But Lewis' vocalizing comes through loud and clear.
