Take Me Home Tonight

Let’s start out with a fun one, brought to you by my sister. Eddie Money is probably best known for his 1986 pop hit “Take Me Home Tonight.” In the song, Eddie sings the virtually incomprehensible line “Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang,” just before a female vocalist belts out, “Be my little baby.” Who is Ronnie and what did she sing? Well, “Ronnie” is none other than Ronnie Spector, ex-wife to the murderous Phil Spector and lead singer of the 1960s girl group, the Ronettes. The Ronettes biggest hit was the song—you guessed it—“Be My Baby.” Eddie chose Ronnie to sing the iconic line in his own song some 23 years later, and she makes an appearance in the video. The 1963 Ronettes single can be found here.
