Subject: Celeb Sighting in 80's Music Videos

Written By: eightiesfan on 05/07/04 at 8:37 am

John Stamos - Kokomo (The Beach Boys)
Chevy Chase - You Can Call Me Al (Paul Simon)
Robin Williams - Don't Worry Be Happy (Bobby McFerrin)
Keith Carradine - Material Girl (Madonna)

I can't think of this actor's name, but he played the abused child in Suzanne Vega's "Luka" video and then went on to do The Sopranos.

I think the actor's name was Mark Metcalf - I know he played Niedermeyer in Animal House.  Speaking of Sam Kinison, he made a video called "Wild Thing" which featured a cameo by Jessica Hahn.

Paula Abdul "Nasty" (Janet Jackson)


Paula Abdul choreographed the video for Janet Jackson.

Just throwing this out there for the heck of it -

choreograph = to compose a sequence of dance steps to music.
