If he was gonna milk a single song for his whole career, he could've at least mixed it up a little, a la Chubby Checker and 'The Twist'. 'Into The Night Again'. 'Macarena Into The Night'. 'Into The Judgment Night (feat. Grand Puba)'. '(Go) Into The Light (Fallen Heroes of 9/11)'.

There's an alternate universe where Benny first rerecorded this song in 1984, with a gospel choir thrown on it, and it is that universe's "I Want To Know What Love Is."

We were wrong. There is something creepier than than the song "Into the Night." That thing: the original video for Benny Mardones' "Into the Night," featuring a goblin-faced Benny Mardones in a sleeveless striped t-shirt stalking a sixteen year old girl through a window, and then through a spectral statutory rape Tardis, and finally on a magic carpet that smells like Night Train and old cigarette smoke.

Bump.
Just remembered this classic thread after Mr. Mardones came up on shuffle. Those screams in the fade are truly crazed, the sound of a desperate man being dragged away from a high school fence after going to all that trouble of cutting off his ankle monitor.

Wish he woulda at least updated the ages when he kept remaking the song.
Soon he can just say "she's just sixty years old"

No, no, it was a different sixteen year old girl the second time, hence the re-release
― Vinnie, Thursday, 14 November 2019 14:17 (four years ago) link
At least this time around the sixteen year old girl in question is just an anime print on a body pillow. I guess that's progress?

Listening rn after an inexcusably long lapse. Happy to announce that it's lost none of its power to induce bone-deep creep-outs.
I could've sworn there was a lyric about Benny conveying this message by scrawling it in his own blood across the side of this poor girl's family house and being sent to jail when her father found him passed out in the yard the next morning, but perhaps it's just subtextual.

Was just thinking about this guy.
Dad turns 71 this summer and sent me a photo of Johnny Cash from 2001. "This is what 71 looks like!"
Made me think of Rick Rubin calling up Benny Mardones, asking if he wanted the CASH treatment.
RUBIN: Got some ideas perfect for the first single: "Soma" by Smashing Pumpkins, um, song called "Harrowdown Hill" by Thom Yorke – he's the guy from Radiohead....
MARDONES: What about.... "Into the Night"?

Though the opening lines ("She's just 16 years old/ 'Leave her alone,' they said") made many listeners uncomfortable coming from the then-33-year-old Mardones, he would later explain the song was inspired by his platonic relationship with a teenage neighbor of his whose father had left her. (The first line was supposedly meant as a rejoinder to his co-writer, who got a little leery when meeting her for the first time.)

"I'm not creepy, I'm writing in character, maaaaan."
At the beginning of that video he looks like Christoper Walken in a wig.

And then when he walks around the corner to peer in her window, it reminds me of a scene from Mindhunter with the houses and circa-1980 cars in the background.

she's still 16 in that version
if I had written a song that sounded as good as “Into The Night” I’d record a hundred versions of it too
