Subject: Your favorite chessy 80's music video.

Written By: JamieMcBain on 11/22/08 at 8:52 pm

Mine would have to be Total Eclipse of the Heart, by Bonnie Tyler?

Why?

1)  The creepy looking house at the beginning of the video.

2)  The fencing and acrobats.

3)  The scene with the Bonnie Tyler clone.

4)  The running through a hallway scene.

5)  The flying possesed alter boy.

5)    Was it all a dream?

6)  The creepy, possesed alter boy at the end of the video.

7)  The look on Bonnie's face at the end of the video.

Most hair metal videos like Cinderella "Shake Me", Ratt "Way Cool Jr", Motley Crue "Home Sweet Home", Poison "Fallen Angel", Dokken "It's Not Love", Twisted Sister "We're Not Gonna Take It", Def Leppard "Rock Of Ages", Kiss "Lick It Up", etc.  8) :D

The models, special effects/visuals, the camp value

^ Propers for Britny Fox's "Girlschool" and Helix' "Rock You."  I agree that many glam rock videos were hokey.

Here are a few of my favorite "wacky" 80s videos.

Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8utL-XzOp6g
    Best 80s Stalker Anthem.  Guys stalks his girlfriend, rolls up sleeves and sends her packing.  Or is he a pimp?  Hmmm.

Icehouse - Crazy    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwTV8vAzkAY
    My favorite song by great band.  Corny video with radio deejay, lonely girl at night, and finally a love connection.

Wax - Bridge To Your Heart    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIcbbyL1aJY
    Weird combos and artwork in the vein of Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer and Big Time (also stange videos)

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded My With Science  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IlHgbOWj4o
    Strange video that had alot of airplay on MTV back in the day.  At one point Dolby is playing a girl like a violin.

Talking Heads - Wild Life    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NXkM8PsPXs
    Video is goofy but AMAZING and features funny karaoke singers. Fun, Fun Fun!

  She Drives Me Crazy by the FYC is a good cheesy vid.  I like the performance art.  It compliments the music perfectly...

of the ones not mentioned I do Like Nude School by Painters and Dockers, Muh by Matterhorn and definitely One by Metallica.

Not cheesy but they are favourites of mine, though Nude school is more of a laugh than anything.

I've seen the Britny Fox "Girlschool" video, I wonder if they have tried to sue a certain pop act  who did a similar video...  ::)
