Wouldn't be Starship's 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now', would it?

I think the video of that had something to do with a 'model' of sorts...

Have a quick comparison here...

(Gah! I still hate that song!  :D)

I do not know about the video for Starship's 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now', but I do know is was used in the Soundtrack for the movie Mannequin (1987).

Like a lot of 'soundtrack' videos, it incorporated bits of the film within it...
