Hungry Bloodshot Eyes

Posted Sep 10th 2008 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

Remember that '80s song "Hungry Eyes"? The guy who recorded it was busted in an epic DUI.

Eric Carmen was popped Tuesday at 7:00 PM in Orange, Ohio after the dude hit a fire hydrant. The first clue he was wasted -- when cops asked him for his ID, he handed them a credit card. Cops then found a half-empty bottle of Grey Goose in the front seat.

According to the police report, Carmen, who was also in the Raspberries ('memba "Overnight Sensation"), blew a .23, nearly three times the legal limit.

We got the dashcam video and it's definitely worth a look at. It's his second DUI.

31. What a waste of talent! Definitely has some personal issues that are never resolved with alcohol or drugs. Hopefully a wakeup call.

33. I dated Eric Carmen back in the day. I learned he stuffed socks down his pants to "embelish" himself..... those were the Raspberries days

34. I hope Sox isn't pulling an Amy Winehouse to get press because nobody cares about the music anymore.

35. Lyndhurst is not a good place to get a DUI ! My girlfriend who once held his investment accounts said that Eric made more $$$ writing songs than he did singing. Sorry to hear about his problems - my attorney represents the city of Lyndhurst & Mayfield Hts. .... maybe Eric needs to give him a call !!! Lyndhurst courts are hard on any moving violations. I know - I was there once upon a time.
