Katie Holmes was just a young girl when Tom Cruise starred in “Risky Business,” where he showed the world his dancing skills (if you could call it that) and barely- there tighty-whities. We’re thinking Kat fell in love the “old Cruise,” the dreamy man-child of the 80′s–not the Scientology thumping, couch hopping, modern day Tom we know today.

But let’s face it, the young Tom dancing around a living room to “Old Time Rock and Roll” in Risky Business is a classic scene, one that will continue to remind us of the good ole days of his sanity.

The scene not only featured a great actor in his prime, but also represents classic music. You know that kind of music that everyone in the bar will sing along to? The kind of music that brings people together, makes friends out of enemies, and might even contribute to a little embarrassing karaoke (think: Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.” You know you’ve been that person before). And there’s nothing wrong with acting a little crazy to the rhythm of a favorite bar song, the kind of song that makes your voice sound a little better after a few drinks…

Electric Guitar Cufflinks

Humans have a natural inclination to music, it’s almost hardwired in us- rhythms, beats, harmony. Some of us are musical genius and some of us are just connoisseurs. But if you don’t like music, no offense, do the world a favor and go live in a cave. Seriously.

Classical Sheet Music Cufflinks

Here at Cufflinksman we understand the need for music- the desire to bring people together, to make connections, to make life more bearable through rhythm and dance. We also understand band loyalties and the importance of supporting artists and their legacies. There are just some musicians that are just as  important as their art. So in response to that band/musician loyalty, we know just the way to pay homage to your favorite band. These cufflinks are a great example:

Hopefully this arm jewelry will take you back to a time when Scientology was non-existent (and aliens were only science fiction), a time when people didn’t name their children after food, and zombies didn’t completely take over Hollywood.

So remember the young Tom Cruise and his dancing shoes. We can all learn something from him.

WEEKLY TIP: Put one of these cufflinks on your favorite shirt (the electric guitar ones are pretty sweet),  strip down to your underwear, and give your lady a little dance when she comes home. We promise, you’ll thank us later.
