GREAT MOMENTS IN MUSTACHE MUSIC HISTORY: 1984: ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICANE

Posted in top story
1984: German Rock royalty, Rudolf Schenker of The Scorpions is not only the heart of the face-melting funf, but has sported a schnurrbart longer than anyone else in Hair Rock. His modified painter’s brush even manages to outshine Scorpion front man Klaus Meine’smale-pattern-baldness man-mane. While 1979’s Lovedrive is considered to have been at the pinnacle of The Scorpions’ career, Schenker proved the band had real facial-hair staying-power, forging his stache into the next decade with 1981’s mustache hair band bible Blackout. The band finally cemented its status as Mustache Arena rock superstars with the 1984 release of Love at First Sting, an album propelled by lady-tickler anthem, “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” which broke the mustache out of its cage and into your pants.  The scorpi-stache continued to break down barriers, both literally and figuratively throughout the 1980s, bringing the winds of change to the Soviets on the Savage Amusement tour and becoming only the second western group to “coincidentally” be asked to perform in mustache-revered city Leningrad.  Feel the sting.
