Subject: Music Videos That Sooo Should've Been Made

Written By: velvetoneo on 07/09/06 at 2:24 am

Squeeze should've made alot more music videos, I'll start by saying that. I can just imagine the video for "Labelled with Love" (country westerned theme), "Up the Junction" (working-class English saga), "Cool for Cats" (guys in sunglasses going through the Western, pub, and religious scenes mentioned in the lyrics), "Pulling Mussels from the Shell" on a beach, etc. Also, Elvis Costello could've made some pretty great videos for "Allison" and "Watching the Detectives", and the Replacements for "Androgynous."

Debbie Gibson "In The Still Of The Night"
Debbie Gibson "Red Hot", should've been released as a single and would make a great video  8) :-*

I think alot of "visual sounding" songs should've had videos, such as:

Somebody's Baby - Jackson Browne
Sailing - Christopher Cross
Jet Airliner - Steve Miller

Other random ones that just never had videos:

Angel - Madonna
Stuck on You - Lionel Richie
Cover Me - Bruce Springsteen
I'll Be Alright Without You - Journey
Human Nature - Michael Jackson
Your Love is Driving Me Crazy - Sammy Hagar

"Gotta Be Startin' Something" should've had a video...it's my favorite song off of Thriller, by far. Also, "Dangerous" from True Blue should've had a video, if they were going to do the Jimmy Cagney line or whatever, that referenced the old gangster movies from the 1930s.

There was an animated flim made for Elvis Costello's Accidents Will Happen and that is one sense started the popularity of songs having films/video made for them.

I'm surprised that Van Halen never made a video for "I'll Wait"off the 1984 album.  Its one of their best songs ever IMO.

Hmmmm.....

Hawk, The Slayer's Top 5 Songs That Soooo Should've Had Videos Made To Them:

5. Attack Of the 50' Woman- The Tubes (I picture some hot gal to be Sue, and a '68 Cobra being the car)
4. Cigarette Of A Single Man- Squeeze (Easy video- taking place in a bar...but who'd be the single man?)
3. Little Liar- Joan Jett (I'd even volunteer to be the one she's singing to!)
2. Ballroom Blitz- Krokus (HAS to be this version, not that half-assed schlitz by Sweet!)
AND! Hawk's Personal Pick For the Video To Sooo Be Made-
1. Wild Women Of Wongo- The Tubes (I have such an idea for this! I could honestly direct it, & make it a hit!)

Even though this song is in the nineties, I wouldve liked to have seen a Video for  " Ronnie" by Metallica, but one of their 80's songs "for whom the bell tolls" couldve been a video just as great as the video for their song "one".

"All Through The Night" by Cyndi Lauper should have had a video, damn it.

Gotta give you credit for those.
Anyone know when the last time was, that Jon Bon Jovi actually WASHED his hair?

Denis Leary said it best when he said, "I mean, Stevie Ray Vaughn is dead, & we can't get Jon Bon Jovi into a helicopter!"
