Ok, this video is SO wierd, I cannot even begin to fathom who on this earth thought up the concept! The lead singer playing with power tools in a paper mache desert?? What was that all about! That's not even the weird part! Anyway, it is so unusual and intriguing, that I rank it as one of the best (albeit bizzare) videos of the 80s.

I like the two girls trick-or-treating in the music video.

I love this video because the band did, and because it's such a production number - all the machines and the guns and Mike Score coming down in an alien spaceship. Typical 80s extravaganza with enough of AFOS's own brand of weirdness thrown in to make it a real classic. Pity nobody remembers the song.

I haven't seen this one since it aired in 1983, but my memory recalls a sexy blonde woman, and a clown that smokes a cigarette, and a large spinning ball made of shiny gold wire being placed atop a pedestal by the woman. It's strange, but it seems MTV usually played "ABACAB" by Genesis just before or after this one. Maybe they reminded the programmer of each other and he always added both of them together. PS: Does anyone have any recordings of MTV broadcasts up through 1986, when MTV was bought by Viacom? I'd love to see the old VJs and videos that I grew up with. Todd

As soon as I saw the girls all in black with the guitars and makeup, I was intrigued. It was so weird and fun at the same time, I love this video!

A classy video from 1986 featuring Robert Palmer and a band made up of sophisticated women pretending to play their instruments. So they can't play. Who cares. They looked hot. Not to mention one scene with one of the band mates licked her lips. And several close ups. They also appeared on Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible" and "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On".

This video gets to you on some deeper level and I've never been able to figure out why. Something about the mysterious woman who seems to come out of the wilds to haunt the dreams of the explorer, a stranger to the Dark Continent. Can't break away from watching this one, although its been years since I last saw it.

The jungle in the video looks strange**, it's like a movie

powerful ballad, it had a film tie in, truly an 80s song

I love this video because it is keeps your eyes glued to the TV, and it is very funny. Roy Kinnear did an execellent job running around in a frantic panic. He added the comical humor to the video. Please find this video from 1985. I would love to see it again.

To Sue....this is the song you are going nuts over. The reason I love this video...the guy is GORGEOUS!! He was the model from the Preferred Stock commercial. If you have any other questions just ask, I am the ultimate 80's chick!

This video brings various cultures, ages and races together giving the viewer a sense of peace and nostalgia of a happy decade full of hope and creativity.

I love that music video, because the song and the music video is very romantic. I like it, because I want to play it in my wedding party. The song also is one of the best romantic music in the 80's.

Definitely one of the band's weirder videos, but still very awesome. I love how they use the stop-motion photography throughout the whole video, it makes everything so surreal and weird. And what was up with Simon's awful perm? lol...

The effects are great! Very psychodelic...it's like a lisergic trip. I love the scene with the band members watching the girl taking the Christ statue from the freezer.

I love the 80's because it was the best area and I wish I could have lived in the 80's!! Def Leppard is my favorite band because I love so many of there songs!! And they were awsome in Concert!!

Hey there, Tiffany was and is my favorite artist of all time. She has SO moved from the teen queen scene. But back in her day, this video was so gorgeous. Her fantastic auburn hair, soft lighting, still awesome love song: Tiffany was at her video best.

This song brings back so many memories. We used to have it as an inspirational "Fight" song back in High School. It stats out with the guy washing his head in the water, and walking inside the factory. Then you seen the factory manager who is depicted as the evil dictator. The video and lyrics then go in to describing some stories from the bible, in much cooler terms. The scenes and lyrics just make you glued to the set. The final lyrics and scene "the rains gonna fall on you" you see the boss being hung, and "getting his" This is also a good song to listen to with the special time with your spouse, or when cruising down the highway with the top down.

Best music video of all time. Best song, best band (Simple Minds), best director (Zbigniew Rybczynski)--can it get any better than this? Jim Kerr looks hot in all black with his cool lid.

A very heartfelt song that depicts the demise of the steel industries (and their respective towns) particularly in Pennsylvania. Joel is seen playing a guitar and singing amongst the remains of an abandoned town with inter-cuts of simulated mining scenes and other events that took place. One cannot watch the video and feel some of the pain that the people in these places had to endure. This is one of Joel's best.

I love this video! At the begining of the video it's pretty mellow with Nancy playing the piano while Ann stands on a balcony singing. Then, as soon as Ann sings "'Til now...", the piano Nancy is playing explodes! I just love that part. When I watch the video and I know that part is coming up, I go BOOM!!!

I like the Casablanca background.

Shot in black and white, this one was memorable for it's Indiana Jones/Casablanca-esque pre-WWII storyline (Nazis! I hate those guys!)

Fascinated with the dancing and the zoot suit.

I love this one because the voices of the band are so in front and it catches your eye. It would have to be my favourite 80's music video.

This one was so different and out there, visually it was one of those you only needed to watch once to have burned on your brain. The song was good too, who could forget David Byrne!

Richard is one of the greatest singers of all time. His music is touching, and the video which talks about how lonely he ends up after his girlie dies...it's just so deppressing.

The video was in a circus. The song and the video go together perfectly and it was a good video.

I've seen two versions of this video: One with a mixture of animation and real life (and the marching hammers), and one in a factory and an English classroom where, at the end, the kids go crazy and starts a riot, burns down the school and other crazy sh*t. Which one is the real vid? Both?

Not only was this my favourite Adam & The Ants song, but the video I thought was unusual. And the 80's would not be the 80's without Adam & The Ants.

One of her last hits from her third album of the same name. Also an underrated song/video that should've been a hit. This video featured Debbie, now 'Deborah', Gibson trading in her black hat and ripped jeans for a short hair style and a see-through shirt. She looked sexy without going 'over the top' like Madonna or current pop singer Britney Spears. And the video looked as if were a 'Fly Girl' segment on "In Living Color". It's basically an attempt of her shedding the "good girl" image since she was no longer 17.

I don't know how many people have seen this video, but if you do, you'll love it. It's basically the band sitting in an apartment on a snowy night, playing and singing. Christine McVie's voice is, once again, absolutely beautiful on this song. Wonderful.

Brilliant new romantic, creepy, apocalyptic video directed by David himself I believe

This is a classic that seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. Also, my mate was in it. He was one of the guys waving balloons about.

Beautiful, romantic, haunting song and video from Roxy Music's last album. Bryan Ferry at his jaded, broken-hearted best.

Very dark video sees Kate posing as a widow doing a dramatic dance with a cello then looking stunning as a sexy warrior in a silver bikini brandishing a sword

Great clip...I love the she-warrior part!!

Michael brought his originality a notch higher when he created the Bad video. His slick dance moves and 'bad' clothes made him an icon. Everyone wanted to be bad like Michael Jackon.

As someone once said... Madness took the medium of video and turned it into an art! Classic nutty stuff which defined the 80s as the decade where video REALLY came strong and Madness were at the forefront of it all

I absolutely loved this video clip from Richie Sambora (guitarist from Bon Jovi). It was his very first solo and I love the song...even though it wasn't popular.

My god, this takes me back to my dancing days. I was a dancer from 1987-2001 (Age 4-18), and studied combination for three years (1987-1990) Jazz for 11 years (1990-2001) and Ballet for 2 years (1999-2001). Those littlest ballerinas looked like me when I was that young. The song is so beautiful--adorable girls dancing at the ballet barre while their parents watch. So sad when the chinese girl doesn't see her parents watching her. I was mesmorized by the song--it had such meaning to it, and probably does for dancers who hear it. Quite possibly the best ballet song around.

Robert Palmer body language, the overly mdade-up blond soilling the coffee, the surreal surroundings, the incredible guitar riff. A very tough one to find but well worth the effort.

It was filmed at my home, and I also came out in it.

F-U-N-N-Y!!!! These are the exact words that spell the video and the song. Beautiful, and humourous!

es uno de los videos que mas vi durante mi adolscencia y cuando escucho la cancion me recuerda buenas cosas

I officially became an Anglophile after seeing this video. It exemplified early 80's London with its scenes of street life, punks, theatre, bobbies and odd shoppes. I have yet to make it to London.

I love this video very much because Michael dances and sings very cool!!!

MJ fighting the tough guys, pre-freak surgery. It was funny when he walked down the dark hallway out of the room, and does that silly step, since my brother sometimes does that when he walks down the hall. The fight scene was really cool, with the knife and the circling. His best friend even attempted to re-create the fight scene for a Literature class project that he used this song for. That was 2 years ago!

This video is awesome! It's got a bunch of street hudlums gathering for the big showdown (a lot like West Side Story) and Michael Jackson running around in the middle in a neon pink jacket. It just doesn't get any better.

This video just makes me wanna get up and dance!.......

It's shows Michael's bad side with 2 LA gangs in the dark.

They're awesome, and when Jon closes his eyes in the video, you can feel it. It's a lonely video. And poor Richie stands out there on the mountain all by himself. But it still rocks!

A really funny and dynamic video, it cleverly sports Lennox as the bored housewife at the start, reciting lyrics to the camera while knitting angrily. Then we see her cleaning frantically and preparing a meal while a blonde-wigged little girl, probably the central character's inner child, runs around and upsets it all. This is no ordinary housewife. She longs to break out of her repression, and so she does with the manic and perfectly timed chopping of a carrot or two. She rushes to the bedroom mirror,and as she transforms, the music goes sinisterly classical sampling good old Beethoven himself. An androgynous figure looms in the background, sneers oddly at the camera. And then the Lennox party girl is born. The housewife has accepted her true self and now is the type that will perform songs in smokey seedy bars sporting a make-up job so bold that it makes her look like a man impersonating a woman. Brilliant!

I believe that it is the most impressive video of Eurythmics!Annie Lennox pretends to be a bored tired housewife,who does her usual household chores.Meanwhile,she she starts thinking about the life she has missed the previous years and gradually all her bad thoughts are getting transformed into a form of a little girl,who interrupts Annie's chores and she becomes very annoying ,infuriating her.In the same room,suddenly appears a weird entity,of no sex,wearing a lot of make-up,who follows Annie while she's tidying up the house..The two creatures gradually guide Lennox to her total transformation,which is consisted of a clad-dressed lady,with a funny blond wig,make-up similar of that used by the second creature mentioned..Then she begins to ruin whatever she previously tidied up in the house,making a mess,while the two creatures(the little girl and the ermaphrodite entity)are automatically disappered with Annie's transforming... A weird video directed by Sophie Muller,supporting Eurythmics''Savage' LP,upon which i believe that in 1987 many depressed housewifes recognised on Lennox's role their same life and 'destiny'... I apologise ,if my english isn't expressed so well,that is because i come from Greece! Thank you very much!

Bette Davis Eyes was the story of the year in 1981...it brought back a diva (Bette Davis) and brought attention to diva-in-training Kim Carnes. Who could forget her ONE GLOVED HAND (long before Michael Jackson) or her black, up to the knee, leather boots, or her "slapping" of the crowd countless times? Even her Ray-Bans were displayed in the opening sequence. Awesome TRUE 80's video.

I never saw this video until 2002 (that's about 15 years after it came out). The interteresting part is that I never got to see how the guys in Alphaville looked like, and now I know. The song is one of my all-time favorites and the video has excellent oriental touches to it.

wonderful outfit

This video is one of those "one-of-a-kind surreal" type videos that were typical of the band in the 80s. They slowly pan outward through different surroundings with Lindsey singing, occasionally stopping to see the band. Then they zoom slowly back into the beginning shot (which was the band in front of the "house on the hill", as noted in the song) to a close-up of Lindsey in the end. It gets rather weird when they're zooming in and you can see Lindsey and the girl's faces on either side of the screen doing their moaning. Great video though.

Really freaky. I love the backwards part at the end where the camera goes in reverse of everything it has passed throughout the video. Way cool. Wasn't it akward listening to the audio only and hearing the heavy breathing without actually seeing Lindsey and the girl?

"Sledgehammer" may have been Gabriel's greatest video achievement based on animation, but "Big Time" is one heck of a rival. Just like "Sledgehammer," it uses sublime visuals, claymation effects, and director Stephen R. Johnson's fast-paced imagination to create the rise to fame of Peter Gabriel's character from the song. Everything from disco balls, slot machines, flying money, microphones, limos and other such items fly Gabriel's way and the result is something so giddy and entertaining that it still makes you smile today.

Lots of fun, good parodies from Mad MAx, etc.."Great...Great Sandwich"Great video too.

Great Video!

I loved the song. It was just such a mental thing! I love all the stuff spinning round and the guys dorky tanktops. It made me feel happy and I taped the video every time it came on so I could watch it forever. I still love to sing along.

This video, released in 1982, proves to be one of the most risquè videos Queen has ever made. The video is dark, with many images of sexual action (nothing TOO explicit, mind you). The video was quickly banned in the US, but is still a part of Queen history in my mind. The song is also a step in a different direction, using a dance-inspired beat and synthesizers. It's a good song, and a good video as well.

Cool concept! Not so obvious fashion model gets discovered and fights between her old world and new world. Did I mention it's in black and white?

Oh my - first time we really saw Madonna. Total tough chick, but super girly. She looked like she could kick any guy's a** and have him thank her for it. Great concept, too - Madonna as fashion model. She became my hero, I became a wannabe!

Its so cool!!! It shows the band trying to get the song just the way they wanted it. I just thought it was so cool!! Plus big bonus its Bon Jovi!!! Love It!!!!

This music video is good stuff! The Cure has kids act like they're the ones who are performing while the The Cure band members' shadows are behind them. Also, you can see Robert Smith's shadow dancing in the background.I LOVE IT! And of course the song rocks.

I have seen this seconded elsewhere on the web site: The Cure have a very good sense of humor. And they show it on this video as some kids who resemble the band play their instruments, while The Cure perform, in silhouette and shielded by a tarpolin, behind them. Furthermore, the director introduces the impersonators as "The Cure ???" Just goofy fun and no high concepts.

Some songs can take you back through the decades and make you feel exactly the way you felt when you first heard them. "Boys of Summer" is one of those for me. I can feel the same emotions, same fears, same insecurities, same longings that this song expressed for me nearly twenty years ago. I love the line "..saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac sayin' 'Don't look back, you can never look back." Everytime I heard that line I would turn look over my shoulder, then I saw the video and Don and the kid did exactly the same thing. Too cool!!!

Coolest video and song of the 80's! Boys of Summer has an incredible "feel" both as a song *and* as a video... very intense and emotive.

Sabrina Salerno was and is the most special singer in Europe, she is really show-woman,funny,excellent voice....and I love her stile, always is Super-Sexy, Brava Sabrina!!!!!

Vinnie doing what he does best, then trashing everything, and a man on fire.

I love this video because it's so bizzarre. The lead singer looks just like a woman. He's so white he looks like an albino. The video takes place in a barn and there are all these strange camera angles. It's totally psycho!!

This takes place in a restaurant and those people are showing their 'SPECIAL' on their sheets on which they ordered a special on the menu every time the backup singers say "Special".

The mother of all heavy metal videos from the 80's. The priests, armed with guitars, are robbing the bank to get the golden record. The security guard starts to dig their music and the band can take off by car.

its one you never see. also the song is great. and the video itself is a superhot 80's style.

Where to start? The video has some of the best scenes that I have ever seen to make you say "WOW." From the band playing, to the church scene where the sun hits him and the eagle lands next to him... the fades and closeups are to remember. And the best part is where he is traveling with the top down, in a classic Buick. This has to be one of the best "for the road" songs that I have ever heard, not to mention be a positive infulence for life. When you're down, turn this on and it picks you up right away.

I love all the video. I must have the video tapes to mr mister Yes i love them.

This song reminds me of my father. When I was real little, my dad used to take me to his job where he pulls bleechers, and that song used to pop up in my head everytime. I would like to have this song so I could remember how it felt when I went to my father's job the first time.

This is a simple video that has the guys in the band singing and driving around with the car top down and the wind blowing through their hair. This is a traveling song of the most true kind.

Great song great video I spent 9 years in the military and it probably means more to me than most but it was a very smooth fantastic song with an unusually visually stimulating video considering the graphics were in pencil.

Probably my favorite music video/song of the early eighties. Great song...and David Byrns face floating down the street is an image I'll never forget.

Is there any video cooler than this one? I think not! Stylish, pulsing, and the shot at the end of David Byrne's face being projected on the moving pavement... awesome!

It's a great video and a great song; they go together well.

One of my favorite old school rap videos with people dancing & having a good time instead of showing off expensive cars & female dancers with very little clothing. Flea, the bassist from Red Hot Chili Peppers, also has a cameo in this video. Not to mention that it's a fun video.

80's at its best. Super cheesy and Diamond Dave at his best. Very funny video. Loved that one.

By the concept, the images and obvious the music

I love this video because this song was playing at a favorite pub the night my husband proposed to me. A group of girls was singing it and doing the steps like the video. I always remember it as being very funny.

A brilliant video from 1982 from the sultry Kim Wilde. The video is a mix of a war film and a typical early '80's video. My favorite scene is towards the end where Kim Wild has body paint on her arms & face. Not to mention that she looked HOT!!!

"Can You Feel It" is an amazing song by The Jacksons and the video is fantastic. I think it is good where Michael and his brothers are really big in the video and there are children and other people looking up at them, giving power to the world trying to make it a better place.

This is one of my favorite songs from New Edition. The video is great.

Without question one of the funniest and just downright happy videos I've ever seen. This poor guy stressing about work, and all the people on the crowded and running-late bus can do is just turn around, with big smiles, and singing jaunty tunes while playing a xylophone. Wicked!!!!

This was by far one of the best 80's videos - the song was breathtaking and the video itself was wonderful - I loved George Michael and regardless of what he does in his personal life, he is a great singer and musician. Please post this message. Thank you.

Brilliant video, amazing voice, a perfect tune for the turny round slowly dance at the school or youth club disco.

I love this video! To me it captures the new wave era effect. Plus I think Gary Numan is just cool!!!

This one-hit wonder was a great one. It's from the movie soundtrack "Hiding Out" starring Jon Cryer (Duckie from Pretty in Pink). It's about a 30-year-old business man who has a run-in with the mob, so he calls up his cousin and changes his entire appearance to look like a 17-year-old high school student, then attends his cousin's school. He enters a math contest and wins and gets his picture in the newspaper. That's when the mob finds out where he's been "hiding out..."

Wow. One of my favorite videos since I saw it on VH1 Classic earlier in 2005. And the shower scene is to die for. The song is great and the ace of spades landing on his back, the canteen getting shot and Steve Stevens guitar is so cool. Neon pink, orange and yellow. It totally stands out of the dark video. And the change from Billy's "room" to like the "forest" w/ the band playing w/ fire in the background is so cool!

I love the way the girl simply take the skimpy nighties and slip off to dawn them,, some of the girls were quite hot ( even with the dated dews) and love the way they frolicked.. learned later them vid was shot at an elementary school in the wee hours of the AM.

I love the video because of the effect that she has on men. How devious and sassy she is! The video is just wonderful!

The whole thing is great in this video! O'kay, it's full of...u-h-m-m-m-m...cheap and pretencious romance, but, well, its so amazing!

Grrrrrrrr!!!! Madonna probably the hottest she ever was. You can view the clip at her homeage (madonna.com) very VERY nice.

"Cherry Pie" is one of the most humorous, entertaining, as well as catchy songs that I have ever heard from an 80's band.

This video is soooooo 80's, it's insane. Greatest hair band video ever. Plus, that is one hot girl.

David Bowie is very sexy in the end of this video where he is butt naked on the beach, and it is a great song too which reminds me of my teenage years.

One of my all-time favorite holiday videos & songs from the 1980's. The video looked as if it were done for "Rattle & Hum". Definitely a classic.

This was a way excellent video. I loved the way it showed the beach with a picture hanging on a line, which was Belinda singing the song. It was always one of my favorite songs and videos.

This is a great video featuring Robert Smith and his band mates inside a chest on the edge of a cliff. Funny that it wasn't listed on "MTV 100 Greatest Videos of 1985", but in 1999 it was ranked as the 80th greatest video of all time. My favorite part was when the chest fell into the water and the band kept on playing. There's also a video for the remix from 1990 that shows the band in the sea.

I love it because it's the best anti-video, and it trumps anything that Spike Jonz does. They don't even appear in it at all. Instead we are treated to a punk midgit throwing sheet music in the air, followed by a wrecking crew obliterating their instruments as they are played in the song.

Surely one of the best 80s videos ever. The rain machine was created by the same guy who designed the aliens [from Alien]... H. R. Giger. But the story in the video was wonderful. I also liked Experiment IV from Kate as well... as it was very creepy :)

Donald Sutherland!Need i say more?????

Kate is such a versatile and talented artist and this video proves it. It is my all-time favorite. I love it because unlike other 80's videos, it tells a story. Watching it is like watching a 4 minute movie. And also, who else but Kate could convince Donald Sutherland to star in it???

This has to be one of the hottest video's of the late 80's. After this video was first shown....Paula mania was inevitable (for a short while obviously) None-the-less the hot dance moves in this particular video are electrifying...and I wish they had made cold hearted part II!

A great clip, from 1989, featuring the lovely Paula Abdul & dancers on a dance studio with several critics watching. The video is inspired by Bob Fosse. And Paula Abdul looked hot. She sure could dance her butt off.

Here's one of the earliest videos I remember ever seeing on MTV. The song itself was very cool, very catchy synth-pop. Shot on video and with that "blank white background" look that was so popular at the time, the video was totally cheesy and looked as though it cost about $5 to make. I mainly remember the "Blisterine" T-shirt the singer wore in the video. I used to have that shirt!

Just a brilliant song and a great, romantic and fascinating video. Filmed on the poor streets of Lambeth, with the band dressed as urban gypsies-- dirty, disreputable corner boys.

the song is beautiful, the guys are great (especially john, he is adorable!) and then the video was really cool, inspired a lot afterwards that started copying the aquarium think and the sharks!duran has always been the leaders in video making! I really love them!!!!

I want to buy the video!

This video is basically the band performing and Douglas McCarthy lip-synching in black and white with probably random color scenes composited over them picture-in picture with all those scenes filmed in some kind of factory rooftop, and the song is kinda cool with the use of beats in this tune.

This was the video that started me to like New Edition. The scenes I like in this video are. First, when the video begins and Ralph is not paying attention to the game only to his girl, and Ronnie passes him the ball and shouts "Yo, Ralph". Second, both of the rap parts, and finally, near the end of the video where the fellas walk back to the park and the others get distracted by their girls while they were singing their lines, and get greeted by them leaving Ralph behind to wait for his girl to greet him. It is my all-time favorite video from N.E., even though I was three years old at the time when it came out, and the song itself was #1 on the R&B Charts in late August of '84.

A fun video from 1983 from Sparks & Jane Wiedlin (from The Go Go's) The video featured them dancing/fooling around a "blue screen" with moutains, a room, etc. Typical cliches from ealy '80's videos are also seen. My favorite scene is when one of the members of Sparks did a "sword" trick with Jane Wiedlin. 100% Good Quality Cheese. Not to mention Jane Weidlin looked cute in the video.

Cool video about the first launch of the space shuttle. It uses actual recordings of mission controllers and the astronauts. Especially poignant due to the recent loss of the shuttle Columbia which was featured in the video.

Not sure if this is 80s as I believed it debuted in 1990, but still one of my favorites. The song is sultry and inviting. I enjoyed the 80s decor of the interior to include the Nagel(esque) wall-hangings. And oh yeah, not sure if she was 'really' a minor (i hope she wasn't) but she was 3 shades of hot. Her dancing, her expressions ... everything

I love 80s music and I especially love aerosmith! This video is great because it has his daughter liv tyler and alesha silverstone in it.

i love this video because of alicia's beatiful face

I just crack up everytime I see this video. I guess it's supposed to take place in the 50's--it's shot in black and white in a bar, and Rod's hair is slicked back! Shows him singing intercut with sexy shots of the woman he's "crazy" about. One of my favorite Rod videos.

This video is one of the greatest to remember, especially for Randy Rhoads fans. It was made as a tribute to Randy after he died, and the effects of real clips and photos of Randy make it even better!

Cause I liked his clothing,and the guitars

Back in the mid 80's, say 1985 I was listening to my old boom box and heard this wonderful sounding female British band singing about how cruel summer was, it had a nice beat and the female singers voices were to die for! Approx. that same month my Father took me out to the movies, we saw The Karate Kid. During this movie about 25-30 minutes into it, this song came on, the same one that I fell in love with on my boom box. Due to the fact that I loved the movie and also that song, it left a very strong impression with me, that to me was what the 80's, at that point in time was all about. In real life with the same clothing styles and big hair and bubble gum songs that the movie had, to me was what it was all about! I so much love the 80's. With all of it's cutting edge TV shows like Miami Vice, that kind of set the benchmark for TV shows of today! Sports jackets and levi blue jeans, Rebock high top shoes with the laces hanging off of them, skinny black thin ties, men wearing ear rings in their left ears, women wearing dark black eye shadow, rubber bracelets and the words "dude" being used every other word. I miss the 80's, it was a simple time, full of hope and promise of better things to come. I am now 33 years old, born in 1970, I don't really recall the 70's stuff, but when 1980 hit, boy let me tell you I was totally into it! Thank you for your time and you have yourself one wonderful site here...thanks for sharing! Aaron Grace

I LOVE this song. The video isn't all that great, but I love it 'cause it brings back memories of when I first saw it back in '86...God I miss the 80's.

A very neat and innovative song and video from the duo that also directed "Every Breath You Take" by The Police. A B/W video with several morphing faces on it. I always liked how Cry was sung.

I like the way that the kid's room comes alive when he plays the song, and that it's impossible for him to turn it off. As well, I like the idea of how he arrives at a Quiet Riot concert after he is able to unplug the stereo. Kevin DuBrow is so cheesy in the video, I would be extremely embarrassed to be him!

What A Video!it's So 80's,it's Ridiclously Funny!it'sb About People Living In An Odinary House,having Fun Realy.but It's Cool,it's A Great Song As Well,it's One Of My Favourite Videos Of All Time,absloutly Catchy!

A quite moving video..The video was filmed in a hospital,where a sympathetic nurse says 'goodbye' to her deceased boyfriend,who's being impersonated by Cohen..They later on dance together,as she keeps on having him always on her mind...Indeed,a 'dance to the end of a love'...

this is a huge hit in 85,i could remember when this came on tv,i was stunned,mick and david are great artists,david wears beutiful make-up,he didn't that much,but great song,great vid,mick from a great band,love the 80's

I love this video for one scene: A middle-aged woman is sitting on a couch knitting as her greasy-looking husband dances behind her, swinging a small sledgehammer.

THis is a simple powerful video about nuclear holocoust. The ending is the best part when Midge Ure and his wife settle in to bed; their final resting place, as the light goes off and the only thing left of human existence is a super8 film of them together, still running on the projector, then the fim melts.

Billy Idol is hot and so is this video.

Sheer lunacy! Weird Al at his best, the intro in "The Compleat Al" video makes it even better. The army of Mr. Potato Heads, Al in the mashed potatoes and animal crackers, the whacko 50s dad, the guy in green bandages cutting a kiwi while a women explains (why? duno it's hilarious) what's going on in sign language (or something who knows what she's signing) Then the whole band rides off on plastic cows into the sunset... The look is very Devo as it's what Al calls a "style parody" unlike most of his stuff, an original song just in the style of another band, and Devo at that. What could be better? not to be missed.

I love this video because my mother went through the same thing with my father. He cheated on her she walk in on him with a gun in her hand. Next thing I knew they were dead on the floor. To me my mother is the dark lady of this story

i love this video because madonna rox and it's her only animated music video. I also can't find it anywhere else. PLEASE PUT THIS VIDEO ON YOUR SITE!!!!!!!

any video from whitesnake, with Tawny Kitaen in it!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly-he had the collective gravitas to release it speaking German, Falco (not the cover by 'After The Fire') also thought it was still 1959 as he's seen slicking his hair back wearing great oversized Foster-Grant mirror shades, but the real genius of this video is that he's running in place while a presumably german city/night scene is super-imposed behind him. Never again would a video be made for less than 50$, Genius.

I love this video clip, makes me feel nostalgic about a great time in my life in the 80's years, also a I am fan of Dennis and Styx.

This song and video truly touches the heart and has the feeling of real life events. I will remember it till my dying day!

Adam Ant was THE man for me in the 80's!! I loved his litte cut off shirt he wears in the boxing ring but the funniest part was as he's acting out the lyric "with a big kiss on the lips and on the back of your neck" he totally avoids kissing the girl! He does it in all his videos. Pretty mild compared to the thong shots of today's videos. But I still wonder why he just didn't kiss the girls in his videos....hmmmm

It has alot of comedy and good choreography and Alexei Sayle dances with a garbage can lid attached to his foot and says the weirdest things like "I like strangling budgies, I'm what you call an animal lover." WEIRD!!!!!!!

I love this video because it was a hip-hop style breakdancing video. I have only seen it once in 1983 and never again. It was something to remember and it left an impression on me.

This was the song that got me into Rush, who is still putting out good music today. This video had a lot of what made MTV so good in the 80's. Quick cuts, cheesy effects and good shots of the band. The kid riding on the missile, Geddy Lee's ever-changing hair, and Alex's pants all scream 80's. Absalom, Absalom, Absalom!

One of the first videos to utilize computer graphics and a great tribute to "Dr. Strangeglove" with the kid riding the rocket around, Rush even played on a cool Monopoly board stage..

SE ME HACE INCREIBLE, UNIR A TANTOS CANTANTE POR UN FIN COMUN, APARTE FUE UNA EPOCA QUE MARCO EL CAMBIO EN LA MUSICA, Y MODA.

This video is all about being kicked out of everywhere 'cos you don't fit in...something I can relate to. And Boy George looks so beautiful!

clip video do you remember of phil collins

It was so real and the actors so beautiful. The location chosen to shoot this video, Puerto Rico, is magical.

Do I have to mention? Is the first musical video that flows like a comic and stings with the lyrics and music arrangements. Experimental sounds for the masses, incredible and metamorphic band that do it just for love the music, not for the money.

The animation in this video always intrigued me...A kind of moving comic book. The band never had a mainstream following, but they are one of my favorites. Classy music in a glam-band age.

A good love song, APP & that fascinating mix of animation (comic style) and live action (the scenario), very diferent of the take-on-me style (a great video too, I think) . Don't answer me WHY is my favorite!

There was a previous post called "Not sure" and the band's identity was not known either. This was the band and song that the individual was trying to describe. And it was very innovative for it's time, most likely, still is considered an "original" .

I just thought it was cool.

A great song/video from 1988 with a strong message that's mostly unheard of in power ballads (suicide prevention). On a less serious note, the girl in the video looked cute.

This is my all-time favorite music video! Kinda creepy, but great nonetheless. One of the best videos I have ever seen.

Awsome video it was made in the style of Raders of the lost ark.I wish I could remember more about it .it has been s many years since i've seen it.

I can't say that I love it because I have never seen it! That's why I ahve been searching on google.com "Glass Tiger Music Videos" and so on. I know they have some! I just can't find them!

It's just one of those things you can't explain. I'm an 80s fan, and thinking back on videos - this one stuck out, so that must mean something. I haven't seen it in ages, but I do recall the fashion sense was the epitomy of 80sdom (is that a word?)

This video was just a lot of fun to watch. Phil Collins ends up playing a variety of different characters (The Road Warrior, a Samuri Warrior, etc...) and he looks so serious doing it that it is hilarious. This video gave the impression that a group of people got together one day and decided to make a music video. It is hiarious!

I love all of Stacey Q and Jon St. James' music. This video and song is one of my favorites. The way Stacey is dancing and jumpin' round like Beetle Bailey with her punk rock red hair is totally awesome. The remix video is even better.

Totally cool, and creepy - beats the heck out of Chris' other hit, "Lady In Red"!

A performance video featuring sultry songbird Taylor Dayne showing off her great voice & beauty. Also one of my favorite songs from her.

I had the best time making this video. I was on a video vixen roll back then. I'm allowed to call myself a vixen and not sound big headed cuz it's more than 15 years ago. And I was thin...not to mention the outfit..which I wont mention. Someone made off with my video collection during a move. Does anyone know where I can get a copy? Thanks, L

I haven't seen the video for fifteen years.

Great "Break-up" song!!!!

It shows the band in a school classroom and kids at their desks, with a chalkboard behind the band.

Notable to me for three reasons: 1) Who DIDNT think the song was cool? 2) Sting wearing an English Beat t-shirt(actually the shirt says "The Beat," as that was their true U.K. name), The English beat being a quintessential totally cool 80s band. 2) Sting himself. Young, very attractive, I'd be all over him if he had been MY teacher too...

This is one of my favorite videos becuase it's incredibly cheesy! I love how Rick is under the table at dinner and feeling the girl's leg, yet neither the girl or her date know that he's there. I also love how Rick is dressed as a firefighter and playing guitar on top of a car...in his socks!

I was surpsised nobody mentioned this. Anyway,I liked it a lot when I first saw it (still like it and watch it from time to time), I mean it may not be that great a video but it has a nice cheerful tune, nice little funny story (Robin Williams gives a nice funny note here)...I thought it was worth mentioning. I personally like it because it reminds me not to take life too seriously (as I have already learned), and also as a musician I'm fascinated by the fact that everything you can hear in that video musicwise comes straight from Bobby McFerrin's vocal chords.

Featured an array of Sony televisions. Took place in a room with a checkerboard floor.

Hallmark 80's video!

I have seen the music video on Pop-Up Video on VH1. I was amazed! It's awesome!

Cool setting in the desert, joshua tree and all. Two hot females, two musicians getting to a motel in a classic t-bird-the 80's casche here gives one a sense of the infinate transformational powers of romance and passion. Combined with the 'slow-groove' feel in the music this audio-video production compels the viewer to attempt to be free- create and love with complete freedom- then stand back and look upon the beauty that has been created and felt. David Franks, one half of The System with Mik Michaels, is currently heard in te top 40 in the tracks backing Cristine Aguelerra.

becase It has a great new wave sound

I like it because it sounds cool and it reminds me of Austrailia.

I love this video and song.. it puts you into a certain frame of mind that only Rod Stewart can do!

One of the better videos from any movie soundtrack, which makes it appear as if Dokken was part of the movie (one of the sequels from the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise).

This was a seriously strange video, it had Freddy Krueger in this girls house. This girl was wondering around the house, then guitarist George Lynch just breaks thru the wall and solos, gotta love the 80s. I just wish heavy metal videos were still this much fun.

I love this video because the music/lyrics compliment the excellent flying skills of the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels!

I never thought Van Halen could be inspirational! But this video has the Navy Blue Angels flying high doing a variety of tricks while Van Halen sings "Higher and Higher". It makes you feel a little patriotic. To top it all off, EVH's guitar solo in this song is awesome!

It's just cool, and the girl coloring on the wall was funny. I don't really understand it though.

The video tells the story. Just a all around good song.

theyre videos are so fun to watch on mtv,this is hularious.

1989 (just made it- for the 80's videos) This is a beautiful song written for Ireland. (the band is from England too). The video is actually in two parts. the 1st part is constantly showing pretty parts of Ireland, people, animals, landscapes, etc..., the 2nd part is more the band at that Giants Causway (northern tip of Ireland with the awsome rock formations (i was there!)) the song and video are great on their own- but try to see both. one of those songs that most everyone likes.

A video, of a video, of a video....if that is not enough there is Phil Baileys Pink shirt or Phill collins shaking his body trying to be funny. Oh yeah and a helicopter.

I like how Philip Bailey travels in a helicopter to get to London so he can meet Phil Collins to sing the song.

How could you forget one of the funniest video's of all time? It is hilarious!

Definitely one of the best works of Giorgio Moroder.

This video screams "1989"! The fashion, visual effects, and camp value. Though it's not one of her best songs, the video is still fun to watch. MTV ranked this as one of their worst videos of all time in 1999, but I consider most music videos from today's rappers & pop acts worse than "Electric Youth" since I can't stand Lolita pop acts like Linsday Lohan.

As a child of the 80's, I've just recently seen the "Electric Youth" video, but I've been a long time fan of Deborah. This video is a great testament to a talented artist. The video if very "Debbie", in that she infuses it with a sense of intelligence(the pre-cursor to the video is Deborah explaining the EY mentality) then transitions into a very flashy, slick, dance oriented performance piece. The choreography, at that time, rivals the choreography of a certain pregnant pop princess of today. Debbie manages to be herself, in cut of denim shorts and vest, while dancing and performing in a sleek, lazer filled set that makes this video fun.

This was such a cool video! It was one of those from the 80's that was really "loud", or stood out. I still remember how she has that intro where she's talking about what Electic Youth means. I can actually do that dance they do in the video.

The song is one of my all time favorites and the video was very exciting. I loved the way the band members sort of jogged out, jumped up on stage and started into the song.

Great "In Concert" Video. From a time when I was in middle school and dreamed of being a rock star. How cool was it when they all pulled in seperatly for the sound check in their limos and then jammed on stage for the rest of the video.

I never saw this on MTV or any of the Casey Kasem style shows, but there was one tv show that came on in the afternoon that showed this. I never got it taped and never saw it again. I've found the song, but I can't find the video anywhere.

I think this is one of the best videos with Depeche Mode. It's really peaceful and Dave is dressed like a king, making the video look even better.

I dont know why Depeche mode is so underrated in charts, they are The best band from the 80s and 90s. Enjoy the silence is the best video ever, with all the landscapes and Dave walking arround dressed like a king. I think a lot of people don't understand the meaning of this masterpiece video.

me gustan sus bideos

Ex co-stars of the popular Australian soap opera Neighbours got off-screen chemistry with this nostalgic,heart wrenching tune which topped the Uk charts in 1988

Susanna Hoffs is sooo cute in this video. Not overly made-up. The rest of the band members are pretty hot too. The bonfire on the beach setting fits well with this romantic theme.

Susanna Hoffs walks along the beach singing this song. The video is so dramatic and beautiful!

I Simply Love This Video,the Hair,the Make-up,evreything,it's So 80's Rock Video,i Like The Countdown In The End,cool Effects,cool Stage, The Lead Singer Has A Great Voice,he Loooks Great,great Song.

Great song. But the one thing I don't like is that at the beginning and the end there is an ash try, first with one cigarette and at the end, about a dozen. Why would they put something so negative into a music video for such a great song? And by the way, it's not because "Sting smokes" because he defiantly doesn't.

I like the black and white contrast, and the tense mood of the video to a lovely but tragic song. The flash of Sting's face, it's classic! Simple, unique, classy, one of the best video ever made!

This song ruled the summer of 83 and I remember catching on to it and never getting it out of my head. The video itself is nothing short of classic art with the shadows and b/w color. It was directed by Godley and Creme who were former members of 10cc. Even today when I hear this song, I listen to it to the very end. It's hypnotic, catchy and one of the true 80's classic songs.

I love this music video in B&W. It concludes with an ashtray with a man putting a cigarette (Is it Camel, More, Carlton, or Marlboro?) in the ashtray.

Besides Roxanne, this is the definitive Police song. It was a simple video, in black and white, just focusing on the beauty of the song and its lyrics and the incredible musicality in the trio (and Sting's not too bad looking either... especially with his stand up bass!) What's better than a video that gives you such an incredible intimate feeling?!

It's a great song and it's got a beat you can dance too.

The world's most happy video, featuring far too much dancing from the band. Police videos were always a bit cheap and silly, but this one really tops it; Sting and Andy Summers frantically changing hats before dancing on the studio control deck. Constant smiles all round.

I like this video because the backdrop is a seaside town where I once used to live.

I love this video it brings me back to my childhood.I will liisten to it probally for the rest of my life.

The song is great, but this video was just cheesy! The movements and the illusions are totally strange!

The song was enough to get everyone up and dancing. The group flash in front of a microphone like a flipbook, and the tune is upbeat. The video is corny, but the song certainly makes up for it!

With all the movements. I haven't seen it for a long time.

The video fits the song in my opinion. I really liked those two dancing guys!

This is the best video I have ever seen. I've felt this way since the first time I saw it many years ago.

I think the beginning of the song is beautiful...almost like a fairy tale. I love videos when they show a story to the song. I love the idea of the girl getting kidnapped and her hubby comes and rescues her. It's just really romantic.

One of my favorite Bobby Brown songs and just the fact the video is fun to watch with the popular dance moves of the time and the fashion.

This song, along with "Like A Prayer", are my two favorite Madonna songs and videos. On the peak of her Marylin Monroe era, this song was far too sophisticated for it's time. It's hard to believe that this song is actually from the '80s! While everyone else was dressed up in neon and acid-washed, Madonna was sporting her designer suits surrounded by visions of luxury. At this point in her life, Madonna was releasing some of her most innovative work. The video was very exuberant, flashy, entertaining and very expensive! I believe that this video broke the chain for typical low-budget '80s videos, and set the wave for videos the way we see them today. I haven't seen a lot of '80s videos, but this is one of my favorites of all time. It's a real eyepopper.

One of the most expensive videos of the decade--and it shows. Madonna took inspiration from Fritz Lang's classic movie "Metropolis," and gave us a masterpiece of stylish art deco. Though some may contend that its preceding video, "Like a Prayer" is superior, I think it's pretty obvious which clip is the bigger piece of art. Here we get David Fincher's unmistakably gorgeous, dark and brooding direction, Madonna looking her absolute best, shirtless hunks working out in the rain, a little wet pussy (cat), and some bondage. What else do you need in a video?? PERFECTO!!!

This was one of my favorite videos in the '80s because of the whole male slave and female lord. One of my favorite parts in the video is Madonna dancing and this is the first video that she grabs her crotch. Remember the end still, the saying? It said: Without the heart, there can be no understanding between the hand and the mind.

You can jump up and move to the beat and workout you feel like Rocky himself.

OMG this song was the BEST.... I will never forget those zillion times roller skating to this song.... all my friends had this song as our favourite.

Very atmospheric, early 80's/new romantic. Very dark and cold and sexy.

This is a classic video. It's shot totally in black and white, with snow falling, and it's filmed in New York. A truly beautiful music video, perfect to match the greatest Christmas song of all time!

The guys, Richard Drummie and Peter Cox, look so handsome, very GQ. They both cavort with beautiful models, and Richard gets his face slapped for whispering some kind of cheeky suggestion in her ear -- then she grins and he smiles. Peter, who looks like a model himself, gets his girl in the end too. Everyone lives happily ever after.

It is so difficult to pick a favorite tune from the 80's as I miss all of them so much, but Journey was my absolute favorite band and I remember when I saw the video and how much they missed their loved ones it made me sad. This is still one of the few songs I stop what I'm doing to listen to completely.

A great video from 1988 featuring Bobbi Brown(Yes, the babe from the Warrant "Cherry Pie" video) as a runaway who went to California and met/dated a mogul who discovers her. Towards the end of the video, she kicked him on the groin when she found out he was cheating on her. There's a scene where she wears a sexy pink outfit that's 100% better than what what Reese Witherspoon wore on "Legally Blonde II". (And Bobbi Brown looks hotter too...) Proves that some '80's styles are better than today's fashion. The song kicks @&& too!!! All of Poison videos are fun to watch. Despite the very regrettable fashion and being a butt of jokes in "Beavis & Butt-Head" in the mid 1990's. Fun Fact: She also appeared on Great White's "Once Bitten, Once Shy" video. (1989)

This has got to be one of the best early 80's videos. Aldo Nova is one of the most under rated rock singers of the 80's. This video was a main stay for other musicians to follow later on. I love the first when the helicopter comes down, and Aldo blowing up the door with his guitar. I really do miss his singing and all the 1980's videos. Take it easy.

The video isn't that great visually, but I love the outfits the girls wore. They wore hot colored boustiers and platinum blond wigs...totally '80s.

I was about 10 years old when this video came out. I'll never forget: It's the one video that starts off as a red dot on the screen. It zooms in closer and closer all while spinning. Before you know it, the dot is a triangular red building with the band inside. I would pay for another viewing of that one!

Now, putting aside the fact that George Michael plays for the other team, the song is outstandingly awesome. For any one who loves romantic, intimate songs, this is definately one of them that shines along with a very powerful video to tell the story. The female fashion model's romance with the taxi driver (being George Michael, lol) is what brings out the video in terms of the song. Very powerful and very real for a music video. It's a like a 5 minute movie!!!

What I loved about this is how original it was. I could watch the video over and over. The video fit perfectly with the song. George Michael had an incredible, impeccable talent.

"The Bugaloos" style centipede costumes kill me. They have absolutely nothing to do with the premise of the song but the fit with the title so well.

Hilarious video. Mike D rocks!

It is fun to see that video cuz it is so cool

Why hasn't this classic been mentioned yet! We used to dream of having a party like that. Must've been one of the most fun videos to make.

Alright this video rocks (I don't even know why I like it so much). It starts out looking at Sweden (the homeland of the members of Europe) then it cuts into a clock ticking on the wall and then it starts counting down (appropriately) 5,4,3,2,1 GO! in that digital clock font. Oh and by the way, this is all going on while Mic Michaelie is playing that hypnotic keyboard riff. Anyway, after the countdown you see Europe on stage, audience going wild, lead singer (Joey Tempest) walk out swinging the mic around, etc. In conclusion, it rocks.

The greatest rock song of all time!

Basically, one of the weirdest songs(&video)of ALL time.

Because it was so stuupid it was funny. The Video got notoriety by accident, it was made years earlier as a film short for the Dr. Demento show. Can you imagine that, an accident that turned out to be a classic. Everybody from the eighties remembers the chorus "Fishheads Fishheads roly poly Fishheads-Eat them up yum". Rolling STone Magazine picked "Fishheads" as one of the Top 100 great videos.

Well, the titles says it all. .........okay, the video is 'cheezy', but it is also great, just having girls in great outfits showing off Sexy Legs! I really don't ask for much.

I've never seen this video before, but I would really like to

The base was in the place and made you nod your head. Overall, the rhythm was simply key, but I thought Billy Idol was just a very interesting person to watch and to listen to.

Great ballad/video from the lovely & multi-talented Debbie (now Deborah) Gibson. (1988) This video shows Deb's acting skills. (She was actually crying during the scene where she's walking on the pier.) It also shows Deb Gibson at her best as a teen sensation during the 1980's. Fun fact: her grandfather,Albert (Deb's cousin), and Paul Gallagher (a model) appeared in the video. Despite of the regrettable '80's fashion, Deb looked cute.

This video is cool because of the whole 'missing the ex theme' and seeing him wherever she goes. And the saxaphone solo and the little bit of guitar you hear is excellent!

Because it is a feel good song. I always like to sing to it also.

Because it is a feel good song. I always like to sing to it also.

This video is sooo cute!!! Paula sings while the little girl models in the video have their pictures taken. They also are shown dancing with the former Laker Girl herself. It's such a great video, very '80s in its concept, but still, wonderful and pleasing to watch. Besides, the children are so cute, you can't help but love the video!

well for starters it was a well put video i liked the frankstein look how they made the video plus dr. dre is a well put producer every since i can remember but overall good video.

This video was really one of the most innovative of it's time. The supermodels acting as the "singers" of the song just seems great to me and I love the song anyway. The video just makes the song even better!

Sadly this video did not get much airplay cause it is a beautiful song, I personally think it really says what all military people feel. "Its for freedom-not my pride"

The video was volcanic, unique, and reeked of rock and roll fury! Lots of lasers and the band intelligently used the "double-axe attack" so copied by others. But the blinding light show and all the fixings are nothing, if they aren't supporeted by tight playing and the screaming vocals supplied by Rob Halford, personified the generation of hollering metal brats riveted togethr with studs and leather and jeans so tight you had to jump off a roof to get in them...then there was the girl's jeans.... The video showed calm and poise and grace under loudness.

wow! Judas Priest wearing those amazing leather clothes, the stage with the lights, the "pole position" video game, those guys headbanging and the entire awesome and adrenalinic song, makes me scream "hell yeah!" the most rocking video ever

Drop paint from the bucket on the band members' heads.

I saw this video on an early 80's music t.v show called "Sounds". In Australia back then shows like "sounds" and "Countdown" were great to watch.

I well remember Den Harrow in summer 1985. His video "Future brain" was very well directed where he was a doctor who tried to wake up a hurt girl. This song is one of my fav' in the 80's !

Well i remember this video when i was young. It was probably the first animated video that i`ve ever seen. Not too many animated videos back in those days! And the song is cool too, it takes me back everytime i hear it.

I love the sexual innuendos and the jealousy between "Diamond" and "Pearl." The girls are gorgeous, know how to shake it, and the video just kicks a**...entertainment from every angle.

Because it's so 80s! All the dancing cartoon people are groovy man

Fun video to a more serious song.Unique sound from the guys who pioneered ska.Good stuff!

Love the movie, love the video. Unlike today's videos-from-a-movie, this one actually made me want to go see the film! 1984 was the best year of the 80s!

So much neon, so Cheesy, and great movie.

This video is mesmerizing. Cool special effects and great to watch. You can't keep your eyes off it. One of the lesser known songs of the B-52's, but the song (and the video), in my opinion, is a great example of those old 80's sounds and effects. Recommend the video and the song very highly.

One of Devo's funniest videos that takes on a typical teen idol performance with screaming teenyboppers. Plus, two back-up dancers moving like robots and a boy spilling a milk shake on an exercising machine.

Probably one of my favourite videos of all time. It's too bad they broke up. :(

I live the 80's hair, style, and my music, and Pebbles. She has a pretty voice, and her style is so lady-like. I love her. I wish she would return back to the music industry, but it has to be christian related since Pebbles is a minister now. I love you (Pebbles)Perri!!!

No one rocked as hard as the Crue. And judging by this video and their biography "The Dirt" no one got as many girls as these guys.

I am the biggest Cyndi fan; this is THE best song of the 80's. Cyndi's hair and clothes are so cool, not to mention she has an awesome voice. I love the scene where Cyndi pins Captain Lou Albano (the wrestler) against the wall.

This is one of the best 80's video around; probably should be one of the Top 5. Cyndi and her very eye-catchy videos had introduced competition to Madonna as we all remember. You've got to admit the Girls Just Want To Have Fun video was genius and had admitingly had heavy support from MTV. I love Cyndi's dancing, clothes and icon hairstyle. Owwwww!Guuuuuurllllls!

I love this video because it's very funny . And this video shows how girls are ignored. This video it's geat, you should watch it. A fact about this video is that it won a vma in 1984, for best female video.

Even though the dad's character in the video is a little creepy, the song is one that a lot of girls can relate to. Very catchy!

Heck, I just loved to hear the song and see the girls getting their pictures taken! Also a great song!

The undisputed kings of early MTV, and not half bad looking to boot. Lights, Camera ....Models! Mud wrestling! Champagne poured over naked breasts! Models in Sumo gear! Or how about see through plastic bikini bottoms! Shaving cream and barbers poles (with half naked models writhing all over!), naughty nurses! Implied lesbian themes! My god this one just has it all, every cheesy male fantasy rolled into one, what's not to love! They were the masters.

This video is the greatest, in message of peace, and the imagery is breathtaking. Sammy is climbing a mountain, singing at the top, and climbing the rose bowl to the top. The song is so prophetic, applying to 2004 USA, for describing the timeless value of getting along. Another visual is Sammy singing in a large, darkened room with three seperate backgrounds showing space, shooting stars... Very cool.

The plastic concept of this video is really cool. Guys that have Ken's (Barbie's boyfriend) head. They even which head theyl ewear on the morning.

the 80's rockers,it's a fantasising video,the just see this gold coverd with gold,brilliant video

After seeing this video and "I will follow" I became an instant fan. I was 15 when we got MTV and cable and one of the first videos on was 'Gloria". The band was outdoors on a barge and the camera closes in on them while they are playing. The crowd of locals are around them lie a religious revival meeting. I was hooked. Anyone know where that was filmed? Great song and video.

I love the song and I love Peter Cetera's music. In this music video he made you feel the emotion that took place during the music video.

A classy, black & white video from 1987 featuring L.L. Cool J driving around Los Angelas. It also features hot female dancers on the side walk and on top of phone booths. The song actually fit well into the video. Including the sax in the beginning with the opening scene of a diner.

this was sooo cool way back then (1985) its soo eighties I love it and the movie

I loved this video because because I thought they looked really gorgeous in there pink outfits.

Patti runs around the room in neon clothing, while occasionally stopping with a band member. Rather simplistic, but with all the neon it couldn't be more 80s.

I liked the song, and Punk was in, and Adam Ant was androginously cute!

This video is outstanding!!! Two parts to this video (I've only recently seen the second part). As usual with Cyndi's early videos, colourful and full of fun. Lots of funnies, an appearance by a quite young (and always animated) Rowdy Roddy Piper and of course, a great song!

This video had a different concept to it than most and had some crazy characters, not to mention a great song. Even now, whenever I hear this song, I think of, "Free cookies with gas!" lol

This video is the epitome of cheesy, but nevertheless is too much fun. George Harrison sits in a chair singing the lyrics, with animal heads singing around him. During a instrumental part, Harrison gets up, stands on the chair, and does a backflip. LOL!! This video has been one of my favorites since 1987, and is classic, especially with the sax-playing squirrel!!!

Dancing furniture and a forty-something George Harrison doing a somersault. What more can you ask for?

Once in a million years, a lady like her rises... This is Stevie Nicks at her Rhiannon's best. Fleetwood had done some videos before this but none showcased their biggest, brightest star like this. Voice, drama, hair, chiffon, dreams, twirls and full tilt Stevie Mo'fo Nicks, period.

The first time I saw this video, I thought it was one of the most beautiful videos I'd ever seen. Between Stevie's voice, the great black and white (and sepia at first) scenes, and the fairy land where Steve does that awesome dance, it just blends together beautifully. And the song is wonderful too. You couldn't ask for more.

The video was certain one of the more different and classic pieces of it's time. The timepiece period of Stevie doing her Grabo dance and dress was completely stunning and beautiful. Not to mentio Stevie's most prolific voice at it's best. Truly a classic of any age.

He used to creep my brother and I out when we were little. All I remember is his scary face and he was running the whole video.

Famous for "Cruel To Be Kind", this was one of his semi-country/oldies rock reinvention songs. Great video, can't find it anywhere now.

A great video with the band rockin' out in the woods with a guy with a pumpkin for a head, an attractive model, and several people in costume. Though a bit odd since the band's name was Helloween. But who cares, it's still a cool video to watch.

This is just a great song and video. I love the way it is set up... the whole gypsy thing and all.

madonna is beutiful and fab and kylie were fab in the 80's and 90's,but kulie was beiutiful in this video,it's got primary colours.

THis is a song which really shows the love and passion of a real lover.

I liked the campy feel with the fake scenery, blue screen, and Hula dancers. A fun video worth watching. Also underrated song from an obscure rapper named Jaz, from 1989. BTW, it featured a cameo of a then-unknown Jay Z.

I love this video because it features all of the Bangles rockin out to a kick ass song, they all look so GORGEOUS at the microphones playing their guitars, tossing their long hair around to the beat of the music, what wouldn't you love about the sexy all gril band? It just takes your breath away when you watch it. And let me remind everyone that these girls are back together again with another kick ass album called DOLL REVOLUTION, which isn't officially available in the states as of yet, but you can find the imports. Check it out!!!

The way Roland Orzabal looked at that librarian...I wanted to be her so badly.

The video is a cool abbreviation of Dracula. I love it because of the ending where Neil becomes as hard as stone(or something). BTW it's the ONLY PSB song with a basic theme.

This video showed the beautiful side of Carol Decker (lead singer) and it was "flashy" and not too many videos blended together so well like this one did. The song is sooo awesome and so is the video!

This video was awesome. The crowd was a mass of television screens... And so was the band! Except for Bryan Adams of course... It happened to be a dream of course... And you had to giggle silently to yourself when he woke up... I mean... The telly was right in front of him... He just stares at it and turns it off-then goes back to sleep.

i just love the song so much,that the video grabs you and makes you want to be her in the video

I love this video because this is one of the greatest songs ever made. I watch it often since i have it on tape. I love how she spins around and I like all the globes. She is a perfect role model and that is why she is my rolemodel. This music video was number 25 on the top 100 music videos of 1987 and it was directed by Diane Keaton( Father of the bride). I think it is cool that a actress directed a music video. Great directing Diane!

Its very satisfying to see David Stewart play the white pervert that he looks like. Otherwise, Annie said it best: " It was five o'clock in the morning on a Welsh beach and I am in my night clothes. Oh, we suffer for our art!"

I like everything about it. The words,the beat,and the video.

Although the video was interesting, the song had a very real message. I call it the story of my life. You gotta keep moving on no matter what.

Was there any male MTV viewer that didn't feel a bulge in his pants when David Coverdale's future ex-wife Tawny Kitaen did the splits on that car?

I really like this video because im a senior and i have been a cheerleader every chance i got...plus i really dig the song!

This was a cool video--literally--from all angles. Huey and they guys are jamming to the song in an all-black room while the camera flies in swoops, circles, and switchbacks, giving us views going up a guitar neck, bouncing off a drum, down the flare of a sax, and even one or two pullbacks straight out of Huey's throat as he sings the title! You may get a little dizzy watching it the first time, but the song'll quickly have you dancing!

the dancers!!!!!!

I don't know what it was but I absolutely loved this video, not to mention the song rocked. My favorite part is when that one guy throws the guitar and the desert seemingly shatters, and when it clears away you can see a room standing on the hill. I don't know what it is about that thing but it's so cool.

Another self-parody. Lindsay and mick play explorers in the desert who stumble upon fleetwood mac's old clothes and guitars, while being haunted by two very beautiful mirages of christine and stevie. And what about that warped chart of the evolution of man starting out as hippies and ending up as disco jerks? too bad the 80's are just a mirage....

Let's face it... it looks weird, has nothing much to do with the song, but have you ever seen so many shards of mirrors in the desert before?

This video was great and defined the 80s fashion.

This video really conveys the tone of regret expressed in the lyrics, with its scenes from what appears to be Ireland or something. That shot of the school teacher daydreaming about sex while the kids raise hell is a classic.

The first time I ever saw this video was a rainy Sunday afternoon at the Midnight Sun, just off Castro, in San Francisco. The place was packed and very noisy! The DJ was working but I had given up on trying to hear exactly what was playing. Then this video began and I found myself moving to the center of the floor (which was no easy maneuver) so I could see all four screens. Every note and lyric gets everything Bonnie Tyler can put into them. The most moving parts are when she's on top of the mountain and, with one upward sweep of her arms, she summons the thunder and lightning to get the attention of her "hero" wherever he may be! Although I haven't seen the video in quite a long time, my eyes still mist up just listening to the song! During the mid-80's I was a VJ and had seen enough music videos to last a lifetime! No other video has moved me like "Holding Out For A Hero"

Mama mama please! All those shots of "mama"'s different boyfriends!

You almost forget this song was played at the beginning of "National Lampoon's Vacation" when you see this black-and-white masterpiece. The women dancers are as sexy as the ones Robert Palmer used in his videos.

This is the greatest arena rock video ever made.. The video gets no respect anymore as one of the top 80's videos. i was only 10, but I remember when it was number one on dial mtv for months..its better than anything smashing pumpkins or those nasty grunge bands ever put out...

Doesnt anyone remember this was the years top video on MTV?

because i remember it at a time of my infancy in 1982 and just being startled by the maxwell smart lookalike and the simplicity of the clip at the time

Guitar solos, mini member clones, babes, and getting to see Eddie, Dave & the crew dance is what makes this the greatet music video of the '80s....

This HAS GOT TO BE the coolest video of all time, each band member has a kid that looks like him and teachers in there underware, gid what else could you want!!!

A video I've never heard/seen before until I saw it on the VH1 Classic sampler on VH1 and liked it, though I didn't know that Loverboy had more hits. Featuring an attractive woman driving a yellow car and the band performing. They don't make videos like this anymore.

This music video is filled with funny optical illusions, & the song is super good too. ;D

Brilliant hooks, brilliant lyrics ("I'm up to date and the date's today"). As far as the images are concerned, a horn section coming out of garbage cans, elderly people sittin behind windows looking bored and Suggs desparately trying to buy condoms. Sheer genius.

Truely the first cartoon animated video I remember MTV playing, this video matched the band's cartoon image of the period, especially fun when the band shrinks and is overpowered by their material wealth.

This video looks like a very funny comic strip. All band members appear as caricatures - for this time (1985) it must have been very costly to produce and they spare no efforts on it. The best one ever from ABC!

cause it's on fire

Kind of a simplistic theme: great big puddles of water are shown with drops splashing down (I'm assuming a representation of crying) as Phil and the girls sing their parts of the song. Great video for a great song.

they were very hot and sexy,the sexist in the 80's,in this video they weren't realy dressed up,but they look amazing,stunning,and good-looking it was powerful,colourful and shot in a exotic location,the story is cool it's about the guys looking for simon,and then simon looks for and hunts the girl,the guys kiss girls,and they ask a cute boy then the boy helps them,then simon wrestles,he comes out dry,then she straches,in the end he is found,i would say hundrend-millions of information about this video,but this is a true 80's classic,it will be always remered,a true 80's phomnomeon,very successful in the 80's.

I think this music video is great. I especially like some of the symbols of the 80's, from the suit, to the saxophone that the high skirted chick has on. This is one of those videos that you can't forget.

The video is simply awesome. I love videos that make you want to be a part of it and 'Hungry like the Wolf' did exactly that. The girls, the exotic places, just everything...it was fun. The song and video are simply awesome!

WOW! I love Duran Duran and this video popularized them. "Hungry Like the Wolf" was #11 on the turn of the century MTV "100 Greatest Videos Ever Made" List and #31 on the "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos". MTV also named it the fifteenth of their most-played videos of all time. JT's bare chest and Simon's running around was HEAVEN!

I love the lady in the video whos all painted and stuff what a cool video.

Their albums were constantly played in our house. I remember that my brother and I loved this video because it was exactly like Indiana Jones, and we played that film to death! Plus - we always pretended to be Simon & John!

I love this video because I found it neat when the video shows Simon getting scratched by the girl and at the table in the restaraunt.

Did I dream this video or did it really exist? I haven't seen it since 1986 but I am sure it was all very profound with Morten turning into a whale, then eagle, then Lion. A hunter was trying to kill him, but the girl that loved him saved him .... (well I assume she loved him! - who wouldn't with those cheekbones to die for)

You didn't dream it, Violet. Heh. I have a laserdisc copy of a-ha videos made all the way into the nineties. Seventeen total. HHAL is one of them, and a beauty. This is a terrific band that's still making music today.

The reason I remember this video so well is because every time it came on, both my sister and I would absolutely laugh our heads off through the whole thing. The series of images projected through the video and the way they related to the words of the song was very funny. This wasn't one of Dolby's best-known songs, but it was always one of my faves....and the video always brought a smile to my face.

I was introduced to the band by Dawn, a fabulous chick who worked at The Express--the epitome of 80's fashion at the time. I still remember seeing the video for the first time -- Green Gartside (gasp) in all his elegant beauty, his long hair, his earrings, his jaquard vest. I was instantly jealous of the girl beside him. Because this was my first glimpse of Green singing my favorite 80's song of all time, this is my favorite 80's video of all time.

A fitting tribute to ex-Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt who fell out of hotel room window after he went on a drinking binge.

The liner notes of the Songs From The Big Chair album say "To Robert Wyatt if he's listening."

This really never got much airplay on MTV, But it is really funny.

The video is how I used to pick up girls in the 80's. This song was my anthem when going to pick up girls!

For me, this video was mesmerizing. Somewhat attractive girl was sitting in what seemed thin air gently rocking left and right, with all the things in her life (I assume) floating around her. Very different.

It's so hilariously 80's...everything from the frantic dancing to the brick walls that move when Stevie hits them. And the fact that she holds up four fingers when she sings, "Blame it on something at first sight." It's the best 80's video ever!

This is like the best Stevie video, in my opinion. She is rockin' out with the tambourine and gettin' into the cute but small choreography dancing. Her voice was WILD! It's one of my most favorite videos from the 80's...by far.

I've never seen the video in a long long time.

The video for this is great. Some of the costumes that Kevin Cronin is in are hilarious! And Bruce Hall...GENIUS!!!

"I Don't Want To Live Without You" is a single release and an album cut on the (Inside Information LP) by the group [Foreigner] in 1987. Mick Jones the founding member of the group wrote the song, which also became a stellar MTV staple in the late 80's MTV Video line-up. "I Don't Want To Live Without You" is a great song, but what I find so fascinating are the elements which made-up the video sequence; 'From the start of the video where you get a camera view from space, viewing the earth turning' as the song melody and lyrics begin and progress you are treated to movie clips of men and women flirting/interacting, animals relating, and so forth. The video shows how each living being is drawn to it's own kind and how inseparable they are to each other. A true 'classic' song from the best band ever, and a well-thought-out 'moving' video sequence compliments the song. I would love to find a video copy of the original MTV Video release, as this song video is incredible indeed!

Neat video where Neil Finn sings a song in a room and the rest of the band plays behind him inside a picture on the wall.Very fun time in history of music.My kids:13,11&9 get a kick out of these videos & like the music too!

" It is so cool!!! "

i heard there were two versions but i mean the "garage" one, especially the black and white part. Nick Van Eede looks outstanding in the trench coat he wears and camera shots taken from the motorcycle makes the song even more powerful. passion desire sensuality lust

just i love this video kisses!!!

Famous for "Cruel To Be Kind", this was one of his semi-country/oldies rock reinvention songs. Great video, can't find it anywhere now.

It was the first video to copy negatives and color them in with crayons. Also, the video is a good reminder of what could have been had the Waitresses not broken up and lost their vocalist to cancer. Nevertheless, I delight in watching the band perform on top of what looks like a picnic tablecloth.

One of the few Kiss videos that featured them wearing their signature make up. Not to mention the the reaction of the kid's parents when the fridge & tea cup explodes and other special effects. Though they looked bored in most scenes, it's still a great video to watch.

Recorded in his Post- "Short People", Pre- "Toy Story" phase, this video really shows off this guy's sense of humor. The knocks against New York and Chicago (shot at night in black and white)in the prelude give way to a sunny,bright and loud Technicolor 80s Los Angeles. I still smile just thinking about that video

B&W Music Video, with a group of people dancing, showing a jukebox.

I love it because it makes me think about the fun and good times I have had in the past.

It shows how a woman will give up her life so her new born can live.

Its emotional,honest and lovely. I ve been searching for it for a long time. I watched it in 87 the last time. Recently i ve got the mp3-now i long for the clip! I saw the video the time i had my first relation-after hearing the song again for many years i miss to see the videoclip!Its so cute and i love to see those kind of emotional videos. Can u help? Thanks a lot! Byby...Andee:-)

The message behind the song is intense; it's something we all want and need. The video is deep!

I love all of the different outfits that she wears while singing in different parts of the video. Everything from glittering dresses to casual jeans and a button-down shirt. She wears a beautiful dress with long, puffy sleeves while she and her husband are having a candlelit dinner. I also have always loved that giant teddy bear that she was hugging at one point in the video.

I am so into 80's music and videos!! I reallly like this one because of the whole futuristic look to it. Mainly, you just see the one guy playing the keyboard while rotating, and trying to escape from two girls with flashy eyes and hypnotic stares. It's so 80s and so cool. This video is one of my favorites!!!

I remember watching this video when I was 12,and I thought it was so stupid.Now,I love that video.With the funky hairdos and the new wave sound,its makes for a memorable 80s video.Like Gary Numan,it was ahead of its time

The music is cool, the hair is unforgettable, and the thing with the mirrors was crazy. The whole thing is awesome and I will watch that over anything from today anytime.

My thirteen year old son loves this song and I'm trying to find the video so that he can see it. I'm sure he'll like the band and song even more.

Why do I love this video? The real question there is why DON'T I like the video. I mean look at the gnarly hair and the rad video!

It is just so cool when they spin with the video, plus I really like the guitar solo and the drum solo. Plus they are just so cool!!!!!!!!

because its cool and i was raised with that song to shut me up along with U2,duran duran,The Smiths,The Cure, and last but not least Morrissey and is still liten to them and i am the number one fan of all of these bands and every time i hear these songs it has to be silent well thats all LATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............................

I love this video because of the lead singer! When I watched this video, I remember thinking, ummmm, if I ever got my hands in all that long hair, they would NEVER get us untangled! Yum.

The girl in this video is such a hottie, nuff said.

my daughter has tried to find this for a long time

A verry nice song and a great clip for that time

this song just says it all!

The video is so energized and loud, while the song is so powerful and fun. It represented the 80s club scene, while the song and video both reflected dance, pop, soul, and even rock.

its just so funky....and whitney tore this song up!

I love her outfits...It's a must see for any Samantha Fox fan.

Sweet video! An evil teacher (who is the same guy as the dad in We're Not Gonna Take It ) yells at a kid. Teacher: WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE!!!! Kid: (song starts playing) I WANNA ROCK The funniest parts are when the teacher is about to launch a grenade but instead of throwing the grenade he throws that tiny metal piece and thinking he launched the grenade but then discovers he still has it in his hands. Another is when he launches the TNT.

Poison is like the ultimate of 80s hair metal. Why wouldn't you have any of their videos on here? Seriously these guys rock! We need Poison!!!! And these are like their best two videos, . . especially the into in I want action. Pleas get them on here!

An early MTV video,from 1982, that takes place on a beach with bright/over exposed colors used as visual effects. It's a fun video from one of the most underated new wave acts from the 1980's.

I live in India so I rarely have the chance to see the music videos of the west.I first saw this song on MTV one night and it immediately became my favourate song.I have been searching on the net for reviews about this song and so I found out this site.I think that the song is really wonderful and it makes me cry to realise that I have not enjoyed the 80's as did the rest of the world,since I am living in India. My salutations to the QUEEN

Obviously a flamboyant video. Queen is my favorite band of all times; anyway that video shows a decade, the 80's, the happiest days of my life.

Yes everybody knows her for the video to "Nothing Compares 2U", but this one is better suited to the song than the former. Sinead sings the up-front lyrics of the song while the director puts footage of people reaching and grabbing things on top of her. Then he does some work with the background. Though the graphics are kitschy by today's standards, the substance prevents it from aging. After the director completed this video a number of artists sought him out to works in a similar style.

The "Quantum Leap" episode this song played on ("Temptation Eyes"--its from early 1992) chokes me up. THAT would have been the PERFECT music video for it--the montage of scenes this song was played during was enough to choke anyone up. This song playing on the radio makes me think of the episode. I used to take ballet, and I created a dance to this song as a means of exercising. I gave the dance so much passion, I can't even bring myself to smile when I try it out. this is an emotionally gripping song. I remember it getting TONS of airplay on MTV in the 80s.

This song was a popular R&B song in 1989. The singing isn't the best, but the lyrics are really sweet, and the video goes hand in hand with the feel of the song...Not to mention there are some great sunsets in the video.

I think this is one of the best videos of all time. henry lee knows how to rock and roll, one of the forgotten ones.

phd is Jim Diamond & Tony Hymas. This song was one of the early videos to debut on MTV. Despite the attempts by the good-guy to win back the heart of the girl in a series of comical events,The mean guy gets the girl.Cute!

It may have been cool for it's time, but now that we look at the camera tricks they pulled out with the space blanket, it's kind of dumb. But all in all the music is good. I've played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City on Playstation and this song is a perfect touch to it.

A very sentimental love song sets the tone for a video featuring the band and Michael McDonald on a building rooftop. By the song's end the beautiful sunset is replaced by a downpour of rain that has the band running for cover -including the late Jeff Porcaro using his high hat as an umbrella.

This is a simple, low budget video that I love because it tells a wonderful story and shows you how BAD L.L. really is. I think I fell in love with him because of this one.

This video is both - sad and funny. Well, it's funny because all of the moves that Queen make. And theyr makeup and the way they act. But sad - this video is black and white because Freddie was seriously ill in this time. He just didn't want to let people know about his health. Really sweet moment is, when Freddie (who is black and white) pulls out a colourful linen. Only colourful thing in the video

It's set on stage like a live show or concert, recorded in almost slow-motion with blurred images. The lighting changes colors throughout the video and there are many keyboards on stage with them, as well as guitars and drums.

the video is so funny... it's been a while i don't watch the video and i don't know where to get the video..

Corny but funny. Absolutely dorky--George Harrison starts off singing on a chair, with singing animal heads. He gets up and backflips off the chair, and a squirrel plays the saxophone. My brother and I loved this song, and we still think it's funny.

because when the love of my life became a couple we were flirting by prouring cups of ice on each other and we just think that song is a cute song and when i hear it i think about that day that i meet my true love

This is a real cool video. It has Stevie (who looks REALLY hot, as always) singing in a dark surrounding with pink lights that accent everything. There is a lot of ballet dancing between Stevie, a man, and another woman. Some of the video is in black and white, and there is a fog machine throughout. There is a really pretty shot of Stevie and her friends riding on a carousel. And check out her necklace! It's huge! Great video for an awesome song.

i love this vidio cos cher sings it and she looks great in it and you can see her butt and the song is catchy

When Cher walked the navu battle ship in a 'body-thong' and a bikers jacket belting our her top 10 hit If I Could Turn Back Time it turned a few heads! It was even pushed to night rotation where MTV thought viewers could deal with Cher 'at her most bare!' This video rocks and deserves a spot on the list!

Because the lead singer is my English teacher and its funny to watch him!!!

It reminds me when i was a kid and how i use to feel

This is the typical 80s video. It has a little story to tell, Huey Lewis does a lot of lip-sync and there are funny scenes with the whole band in the beach. The song is very good, but is good seeing the video.

A great song with a fun video featuring visual effects like the colored socks appearing for no apparent reason.

Okay,Granted,this is a rather obvious choice.And the song is freekin' Done to Death.But I just LOOOOVE the way it was shot.Starkness and Simplicity have never worked to such a degree as they did in this classic clip from 1981.I dig the way,for much of the video,how we see the closeup of Phil's face come slowly into focus,revealing a live-action simulation of the front cover photo to the "Face Value" album.And the scene where he is seen walking in and out of doors in the hallway of what looks to be an abandoned building is years ahead of its time.Even though,as was common in the day,it was shot on video tape rather than film,It still holds up some 22 years after its original airing.

its simply the song i grew up listening to since i was a chld....very inspiring

Not only is this song beautiful, but the video is so cool!

This was a nice video. Each room reflected the personalities of those lovely ladies. Of course Susanna was the sexiest, loviest, most talented member of this quartet. The others were hot too, and still are. Long live The Bangles!

Videos based on old movies were pretty common in the 80's, but this sendup of Hitchcock's thriller "Rear Window", is particularly cool. Interspersed with clips of him dancing, Rod plays a photographer obsessed with what's going on with his across-the-way neighbors, especially a bikini-clad girl being wooed, by an unseen(and not always welcome) admirer. Near the end of the clip, Rod follows the girl to an amusement park, and while stuck on the carousel, watches as the girl rides off with her lover. Everyone probably sees that the girl looks a little like Rachel Hunter, who Rod didn't meet & marry until the 90's, but not all notice that the 'secret admirer' revealed at the end is Rod with his hair slicked down!

This video rocked! I love how, in the beginning, Pat and the band come walking through the tunnel with the light streaming in behind them, i always thought that looked so cool. Not to mention Pat's look: those earrings, that makeup, that totally awesome jacket! I love this video so much.

This music video is off the heezy-bajizi with Pat's new hairstyle and flamming persona. A great alternative from "We Belong.."

This video captured simon and the boys showing others, how to make a pop video. The song was catchy and the boys looked cool in those bright blue shirts and white ties. Roger, Nick and Andy were hilarious as foreign legion soldiers, singing the famous verse 'You're as bout as easy as a nucleur war' . Simon Le Bon shows others how to perform in front of the camera. Oh and the song went to number 1.

i love the 80s so much,i love evreything and evreyone about that decade,this song is so smooth and such a powerful balled.david and tawny look hot,love the 80s videos.

Great video!!! And Tawny at her best in it. Man I love the woman. I saw the video 100 times and I can't get enough. And great song also.

I saw for first time the cola less or lady trousers

I thought it was a unique song and video.

I have no idea what attracted me to this video, which appears to be stock nature clips of animals mixed with scenes of TT front man Mark Hollis in a zoo. Hollis isn't particularly appealing in the video, and then there's the irritating doodles that appear (one appears to be racing with a running animal, one draws lines across Hollis's mouth, etc.) Lucid? Heck no. But memorable? Yep. And a great song from an outstanding, underappreciated band.

I loved the images of animals running in slow motion. The music was very different. It is one of the videos from the 80's that I remember vividly because of the animal scenes; particulary ostridges running in slow motion through water. I also loved the "It's my Life!" part.

This video featured Dokken performing on a truck riding around Los Angeles. It reminds me of that U2 "Where The Streets Have No Name" video, but looked staged. Though still a great song & a fun video.

The part in the end where they all had black umbrellas and one was red was really cool!

A classic Run DMC clip that featured Penn & Teller as two swindling street performers. The funniest part is when Run DMC went to Japan and found out that Penn & Teller stole their gig. They don't make hip hop videos like this anymore.

This Christian video show how a teenage girl falls into the seedy Hollywood lifestyle and how Jesus helps her to get out. Poignent, heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.

It was ok. It was used in a Heinz Commercial

A very serious video for a very serious song. It's about incest, and in the end, the daughter shoots the dad in his office. There are all kinds of helicopters and detectives looking for clues to figure out the murder. It's a very gruesome tale but it was played out very well in the video. One of the first serious videos with a plot that I remember seeing. Not your average concert, band-only video. This video reminded me a lot of a prequel to GN'R's epic "Estranged". Both feature dark scenes with flashlights and cops and stuff.

Bryan Ferry is the one of the coolest guy.

This video is like a real movie and Falco is a really good actor! The song is also one of the 80's best.

although there really is nothing to special about the video, who in the USA doesn't know that number!

I really don't know, it's just completely cheesy. Especially when Rick's onstage playing his guitar! I do have one question though, was Steve Antin from The Last American Virgin & Inside Monkey Zetterland in the video as the rival for Jessie's affections? Bill Wyman's Je Suis Un Rock Star also has one of the most unintentionally funny videos I have ever seen in my whole life!

Phil Collins as a televangilist preacher wih his "followers." He wears a god-awful toupee. Oh the humanity!

This song is brilliant! And this video brilliant as well! And I think these guys are awesome!

I Know this isnt compleatly 80's (1979), but Devo was one of the pioneering bands of the 80's, and this is my favorite video of theirs. My favorite part was when General Boy gave his speech about de-evolution ant the begining of the video, and Booji Boy interrupts with my favorite line, "Oh dad, we're ALL Devo!"

Its the weirdest F'in video I've ever seen. Its got a guy with a rubber mask on delivering some report from a "chinaman" to some army guy. Also the singer wears swimming goggles and does the most nerdiest dance ever caught on film. Not to mention the guys wearing brightly colored pantyhose over their heads. WE ARE all DeVoLVED!

two strong heart because i love it john farnham best one thankyoufelissacoombes from aussie newcastle

I always liked this video, not only because it shows some of the best musicians of their time doing what they do best, but also the fact is that they actually filmed it themselves, without all the glamour and production, and kept it simple. It sticks with Eddie's motto of less is more. Rock on guys!

this video is an instant classic... how can u go wrong with van halen and the best lead singer of all time ....DAVID LEE ROTH...this video shows the band playing and just having an absolutly great time..it goes from david lee's wild stage antics to showing eddie rip out the solo..it fits the song perfecty...just a bunch of guys having a blast

Tenia 8 años cuando vi este video que lo tenia mi hermana mayor y quise ser eddie van halen y david lee roth. Mi video y banda favorita hasta ahora que tengo 27 años.

This is a good video because it is very energized and it was Natalie's comeback hit. It also had a great digital-dance-soul sound which really matched the vibe of the 80s.

Just watching a very young Dave, Andrew, Martin, and Vince perform in this 1981 low budget video, makes you wanna laugh out loud. The song is very bubble-gummy, but catchy. Those guys have come a long way since then, making better music and videoes.

I like this video because it's a good video and i like the setting and style.It's a cool song the dancing is cool and for real. I think he wanted this video to be about how hip hop was all about.

because its the best song in the world man

I love this video sooooo much! It's so beautiful and dream-like, and Robert dances with an angel...who is actually his wife Mary! Also, everyone looks great in the video!

I love this video because its so colorful and i thought that was cool how he was dancing on the top of the boat with the ribbons in his hair,i thought that was real trendy,that whole video set a trend for all Culture Club fans

I like this just because it's a beautiful song with a "dreaming" video performance by FISH. The best voice of 80's!!!

I love this video because even though Genesis was strapped for cash in '81, Mike, Phil and Tony could still entertain their fans just by the way they interact with each other in the video.

Her voice is so beautiful and she was gorgeus in that video.

I like it because former Miss Olympia Rachel Mclish stars in the video.

In a judge's room, doing things like, Lucky Strikes, Sen-Sen's, Chevrolets, dancing.

Loved the grittiness of this one, as well as her cool zebra shirt, black jacket coat, the when she shrugs his hand off her shoulder as she sings "Come closer, honey that's better...." Oh, and did you know she is Oscar Wilde's great niece - and Jack Wilde's (HR Puff 'n Stuff kid) sister???

It's the theme to my favorite 80's horror film 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space'. The klowns sing the end of the song at the last minute of the video. I saw it on VH1 Classic one day and it's still my favorite video.

i like paula abdul it is a good dance video and i like it like to dance to it and a janet jackson video what have you done for me latley and paula abdul was in the video cool huh

This was the first video that I saw by Shelia E. I loved the lighting and feel of the video. I haven't seen it though since '87.

This was my favorite song back then. OK OK OK.. it still is my favorite.

Well, it has "Legs"! Okay, my favourite girl is a tie. The brunette in the white and the 'lead actress' in the pink. Legs. The ONLY thing that would have made this video better - is if I would have directed it- not to sound jerky- but it is the only thing i would have done better. :O)

This song and video were done just after Billy's motorcycle accident and his leg healed enough that he could walk with a cane and he does so in the video. In my opinion Mr. Idol blows the original of this song away. The video is outstanding, one of the sexiest Billy ever did. It was produced to look like a movie short. The ending is a total shock AND one of the biggest surprises I have ever seen in a music video and I've been watching them since the first day MTV landed on the moon!

Rather simple concept, but still great considering it's Pat. Anyways, Pat is singing in a bar lounge, and it's basically shots of Pat singing and the crowd. You gotta wonder how they could have standed having to do the video with all the smoke hanging in the air though.

I love the scenery and the red polka-dot dress...just beautiful.

i like it ... also "Endless Love" for Lionel Richie and Diana Ross

Remeber all the bomb drills? Everyone thought Reagan would nuke the USSR, and Genesis used these elements for one thought provoking and humorous video.

Great Puppets from the British TV show "Spittin Image". MTV or one of the networks actually ran a show for a spell during the 80s.

This is my favorite video! Before I saw Genesis on Rosie O'Donnell, I always thought of those weird puppets whenever I heard Phil Collins sing.

this video is done with muppets well more like puppets there is some humor but more or less the video just make you wonder about the sanity and what was smoked by Phil collins at the time of the video

This video was great, it had all the puppets from the Brit Show Spitting Image, and it show current events and made fun of them at the same time.

This video always cracked me up. If you remember, the whole video was don with Spiting Image puppets (remeber those). And Ronald Regan was super man. hehe =)

OMG. Phil collins looks like a Chucky doll!

In my opinion, this was the best video they ever did, beating out Wanted Dead Or Alive. The song is suppose to be pure rock, thrashy and powerful at the same time. The video takes those ideas and expands it even more. It was all about performance back then and in this video, it only shows the type of performance those boys from Jersey were pulling off. Some great stuff, especially with the pyro special effects!!!!!

because it rock with pyro explosion on stage and jon have super man tatto on his arm i dont know how the stage look like

One of Jefferson Starship's best rockers, this song is off the 'Nuclear Furniture' album from 1984. It represents the political spectrum of Jefferson Starship. Set in a campaign for the 'Nuclear furniture' party, the band walks out onto the stage like presidential candidates giving an acceptance speech. Then they transform into the rock and roll band they are, playing a concert. The video features people dressed up in silly costumes. There's a lady who looks kind of like the wicked witch from the Wizard of Oz, and there seems to be a giant eye ball at one point in the crowd. I especially like the crowd chanting "Mick and Slick".

Great cover seen through the eyes of the guy. Really, one of my faves.

I loved the song and they had several different versions of the music video which was very unique. I am not sure just how many versions there are but would love to have a collection of all of them.

A superb, eye-catching animated short film to accompany the song. Second to the all-time classic Smooth Criminal but worth a look nonetheless.

ZZTop looks so funny in this video and it tells a guy never mess with a women

Kind of a mini-rock opera, and the spinning guitars and wave at the end are probably the most-mimicked moves in satirical spin-offs and karaoke bars, hands down...

This was Expose's only video away from the U.S. of A. This clip was done in London. According to Gioia from the "Video Exposure" tape, she said that the set of the video was "cold", and they "didn't wear much". To me, it was fine, colorful and they looked sexy in what they did wear. Don't always believe what the experts say, the song and the video were HOT!

One of the COOLEST songs ever!! Just love the fact that it was done in Oz, love the girls red shoes, that they are aussies and that Bowie just rocks!! Love the lines "put on your red shoes and dance the blues", very horny!! and also love the lines "because my love for you would break my heart in two, if you should fall into my arms and tremble like a....FLO-WER!! Oh, what a poet!!

Ok this is the obscure of the obscure. Ian Thomas is a very canadian songwriter more famous (at least here) for such tunes as "Painted Ladies" and the super romantic balled "Right Before Your Eyes"...but even Ian Thomas fans sometimes draw a blank at his late 80's record entitled Levity. The title track to this albumn "Levity" is near impossible to find and one of the most haunting rock song/ballads to hit the airwaves. Though it didn't get much radio play, it's video was popular for a short time on canadian music video services such as Much Music and Good Rockin Tonight. The video was 2 long shots (with no cuts) pasted together to make the illusion that the entire video was shot in one take. Not much to the video by today's standards but was innovative at it's time as it had Ian Thomas setting up to shoot his video and instead taking a walk backstage while the crew sat around eating donuts (Ryan Stiles from Who's Line is it Anyways can be seen throughout the video doing his usual antics). There's just something about the way thre music gels so well with the mood and scenery of the video that makes this one of the most memorable videos from that decade. Luckily I taped alot of stuff in the late 80's and have this gem on one of my tapes squeezed somewhere in between Whitesnake and Phil Collins ;)

Besides the fact Kiss were without make up, the models looked hot, & the song was, still is, great!!! Though the '80's wasn't a great time for Kiss making music videos. Beside this & "I Love It Loud", which fortunately still had make up on when was done.

One of the oddest videos of 1986(or of any year,really). Looks as though it was shot in the woods in the middle of the night, with tight close-ups of Mark Hollis' face, strange spiderwebs, other "natural" images, and washed-out lighting. Great song.

it defines time

This is a great video of Al being himself and mocking the entire medical profession. One of the very best things he has ever done!

It was an aspiring video due to the fact that it was about losing your virginity. And the fact that Madonna is supposed to be infatuated with a man dressed up as a lion. Kind of strange, I guess the lion was supposed to represent a man-beast, or something like that?

This is one of the ultimate power chord rock songs from the early 80's

From the post-Limahl period of the band, this very odd video was directed by Storm Thorgerson, best known for his Pink Floyd album covers and his video for Yes' "Owner Of A Lonely Heart." This video has much of the same feel. Blindfolded people, a black-cloaked woman with a birdcage for a chest and flamethrowers are but a few of the unlikely images in this one. Plus there's singer Nick Beggs, his Chapman Stickâ,,¢ and his cockatoo-crest hair. Also check out the equally bizarre follow-up "Turn Your Back On Me."

I love this music video because it's sick and perverted but yet very entertaining!!! GOTTA LOVE THE 80'S!!!!!

It's every bit as cool as "big love" is surreal. Lindsay, Stevie, and Christine all fade in and out as their harmonies enter and leave. mick and john are the only ones who stay between cool close-ups and pans. Not only that, but the scene where Lindsay walks by an old fence is sleek. he comes by cracks in the fence, and when he walks by, turns into someone else. Not sure if it's camera tricks or special effects.

I think the setting for the video and song was excellent, its got a beat you can dance to. The farm was a good place for that song to be at.

Simply put: Awesome video!!!! The song is great and the video sure matches the song. It has out takes of both Nuge and scenes from the Vegas Strip. You see a young little girl progress into a very attractive young woman. Just take a wild guess at what the song is about. It was also featured as an episode of Miami Vice guest starring another lost female 80's rock star, Fiona Flanigan. Great song, great video, great episode. Definitely worth a viewing!!!

This was one of the first videos of any African-American artist (besides Michael Jackson) to be shown on a regular basis on MTV in the early 1980s. It may not have the best production, which brings up a few prominent artist from the time, but it does leave lots to the imagination. Just think, a live performance (or a rehearsal) with studio sound? Go figure. The futuristic stage setting and baroque digs Prince wore at the time add to the overall aura as well.

I only just started school as this song came out (I'm almost 20 now). This was my favourite song at the time. Every time the video came on, I would imitate Jon (even the part where he was lifted by invisible strings! I was continuously jumping off our couch!)

Love This Video So Cool!!! Its Bon Jovi Is The Top Reason I Like It!!! Plus Its A Great Song!!! Love it So Much!! The Whole Thing Is Amazing Work Of A Great Song-Writter and Video Director!!!

Everything being so in sync with the song: The gun with the reflected '007 gun'at the beginning, the dancing in front of the headlights. It shows a beauty in simplicity. Also, like the best '80s videos, it features lots of neon lights in the dark.

This song was originally released back in the late 50's / early 60's but it was re-released in 1986 with The Young Ones actors portraying their characters, Rik Mayall (Rick, a Cliff Richard Fanatic!), Adrian "Ade" Edmondson (Vyvyan Basterd, a psychopathic punk), Nigel Planer (Neil Pye, the hippy) and Christopher Ryan (Mike TheCoolPerson, the cool one). I remember seeing the video clip for this song and it was bloody hilarious!! It rocked. The Young Ones was the best British comedy in the 80's and it's still the best now.

This song is probably the most addictive and catchy tracks ive ever heard. the song is cool and the music video exact and to-the-piont.

Black and white video... great story!!!

I don't know, I guess it was seeing Al in that James Brown motif that made my day.

The story line fits in perfectly with the song and you can really feel the story unfolding

The band strolls around a 20s-style amusement park wearing white striped suits and straw hats. While walking in line and singing, they encounter typical characters such as the bearded lady, a ballet dancer, mimes, a puppet show and lots of cheap backdrops. Comes with bucketloads of slapstick humor which makes this a classic despite the obviously tight budget!

A great clip from 1987 with Jody Wately wearing many attractive out fits. (Some outfits may look cheesy today) She looked so HOT in this video!!! My favorite scene is when she's sitting on the bench. The video may look dated, but it's better than any female R&B video, including Beyonce, today!

cause it is tremendous.

Purely 80's, dark, satanic, sex cave with wild raven-haired banshee women running from the leather and spikes clad Motley boys. The Motley boys are wearing so much makeup on, that you can just barely recognize the members of the band, only by identifying their signature hairstyles.

Deb looked so beautiful playing the piano & leaning on the wall. The song/video (from 1989) makes my heart melt everytime I listen to it. The video is CLASSIC!!!

Remember those twins?? I liked this video because it was a refreshing change from the normal videos at the time. It was this mystical, fantasy type video which I thought was coo.

Such a creative video! Nothing expensive, just plain superb and cool!

the cats are adorable, its bloody hilarious and, Robert Smith is simply delicious!!!

robert smith and the cure look much better in this video,didn't wear much make-up as they usally do,anyway this video shows them in an rough house with pretty cats,i thought it was pretty sweet.

I love this video because they had so much fun making it...you can see it by the way they dance and stuff! It rocks!

Hot video! Pat Benatar was definitely sexy looking, especially where she and those many other girls get together and start shaking their hips in the cocktail bar scene, then Pat throws the drink on that gold-toothed creep's face!

Pat gets to do some dramatic acting, wear trashy clothes, hang out with her street pals and then does the truly terrifying 'boob dance' at the end. Great song too.

This was one of the best videos by the 80's rock queen herself, Pat Benatar! I especially like the part where she and the other girls start shaking their hips in the cocktail bar scene, then Pat throws a drink on that gold-toothed creep's face!

I love the song first of all, and I thought Annie Lennox looked so beautiful wearing that long blonde wig in the back of the car. I also liked Sweet Dreams (are made of this).

I like'd the simplicity, the clouds in the backround, and the words.

It was the best beat and tune.....were they the long lost band, no one seems to rememeber them.

Its just so 80's!

I love this music video because it's got all the singing and dancing to that song. Love Shack was and still is my favorite band from the 80's. I would like to see that music video please?

I Like it because it's a B&W music video, doing tender moments. Paparazzi anyone?

I believe that this video is a classical song in the parties in this years... when everybody dance "blues" with girls. The voice of this artist is very good, is the "soul" of a white artist... PD: Sorry by my poor english, because I speak spanish, thanks by have this space in the net.

This was a hilarious video! It started with a little prologue with Paul Bartel as a pretentious video director describing the concept of the music video as an assistant shows the storyboards. Christine voices her reservations, but Paul says, "Oh, Christine...trust me!" [dramatic chord]. From there, it's on to the video, exactly as the director described but everything goes horribly, hilariously wrong. It all ends when a large piece of scenery breaks free from its moorings and comes crashing down on Christine and her piano!

It's just plain and simple. There is NO expression the the faces of Joy Division. There is also NO enthusiasm and it seems like Joy Division was just singing there song because they like it and not for other people. It's just the best! Very orrigional.

Ultravox made my favorite 80s videos. This was a rare one which moved at a mad pace a la "romancing the Stone" and Indiana Jones and was very complete in story. The hero (Midge Ure) daydreams the adventure but in true life is an ordinary hero who steps out in the end to save the day and his girlfriend from thugs...Duran Duran's simon lebon once indicated that it was a ripoff of "Hungry Like the Wolf" but I disagree as it is a real storyline...find the Ultavox video collection somewhere...MTV missed some good stuff though they di play this once.

Great video, Teena was the queen of funk and soul in the 80's and still is to this day.

This song/video was a new point in Sheena Easton's career. Completely revamping her image from a mostly middle of the road singer (excluding "Sugar Walls" from that statement) to a sexy dance siren! The video for The Lover in Me has a "sassy" and "modern" appeal to it. In 1988 standards, a very expensive and well done video! And in addition to that, Sheena looks absolutely gorgeous!!!

how do i find this video

I've always loved this song, and saw the video for the first time today. I was impressed! Excellent 80's cheese. Billy Ocean does not appear much in this video, but lizard-like animals, and various other bizarre-looking creatures turn this song into a sci-fi romance. One of the male lizards actually runs away with a female lizard as they gallop away on a horse along an endless beach. It's a must-see for any vintage 80's freak.

All I can say about her look in this video is, you just can't touch that hair!

She looks absolutely gorgeous. All crucifix croptop and cleavage. Black clothes really suited her, great song, great dances, back when she had 'a bit of a tummy' as someone said in Pulp Fiction.

Robert smith is incredibly hot and the video is funny cute morbid and nutty all togather! Its so rad! I love The Cure so darn much!

i must agree with Heather; Robert is a sexy animal in this video! creeping out of the shadows....being "eaten" by a spider....squriming around in his bed.....ohhh boooy.

I like her dancing and singing her song at the beach.

I loved watching this video when I was a kid even though I didn't quite understand the song. There was something about Roland Orzabal's free style dancing in the middle of this video that made me happy to see it.

Song rocks. I like how Ric Ocasek is standing and walking on the surface of the swimming pool water.

Old School Rap... Ya gotta luv it... it was also featured on the VICE CITY soundtrack ...a very early rap video.

Beautiful scenery and a romantic mysterious plot. The song and the clip match completely. I still get shivers when I see it on tv.

This video is good. Peter had really good looks and was very cute in his close-ups. He also added space clips from NASA and added a pileup of cars for some reason. You go Peter!

Absolutely awesome video. Rare instance where the song and video are both equally superb. Saw it on a rented video in 1985, and have longed to see it again ever since, but could never find it! But so strong was the video that I have it running in my mind even now! I'll be greatful if some one could tell me how I can get a copy of that original video...Thanks!

The video that got me listening to Air Supply. That song was one hallava love song. The video was awesome... The army guy picking up the fallen groceries of the blonde lady who dropped them; the scene at the gas station, the argument between the couple; all fits in so aptly with the lyrics: the best love song of the 80s without doubt! I'm surprised that it wasn't mentioned.

I love this video because it features this psychedelic and very emotional performance by Phil Collins; otherwise the song is such a emotional and epic highlight!

very touching,great ,passionate vocal performance!!

This marked a departure from the boiler-plate videos they did previously. The band members come to life one by one after the music starts, and the way they manipulated the lighting and shadows kind of reminded me of an old "Batman" episode for some reason. I actually think the video was better than the song.

Its a great song and band. The video was unique and different.

A poignant song about letting the "one" get away. Everyone has one of these stories (Hi Julie :) ). A classic melody. Beautiful song and a classy video.

A very arty video which still brings my emotions to the surface every time I watch it. Although the "Mary" I associate it with has changed, it's still an amazing video and amazing song. This and A-ha's "Take On Me" were easily the top two videos of the 80s.

Really Lovely Song!

Just because its Depeche Mode i Love them.

First of all this video was the first where Madonna pretended being a diva. On the other hand it shows the irony of the song cause Madonna takes the poor guy in the end.

Not only is the song totally cool, but the video is hilarious....really reminds me of the old British Comedy series from around the same time frame- "The Young Ones"...The Lepps totally rock out, but also, the video is soooooo funny!!!!! finding one of them in the bathroom...Joe trying to make a cup of tea in a filthy kitchen that any health dept would condemn..Too bad they didn't make anymore fun videos like this one!

I never did like Steve or his songs, but this iconoclastic video where he turns the heat up on the famous museum and the Madame's celebrity statues was one of his best. Fortunately for non-Christians, there was no real meltdown at Madame Tussaud's.

A great parody of everything metal, from headbanging to leather to drinking to drum solos. The best moment is near the end, when a motorcycle gang kicks a helmet off the ground and right between the legs of Blotto's lead singer. It's just cool.

This was a great song by a great man (Stan Ridgeway) and his band. The video was dark and colorful, and like nothing else I'd ever seen, plus the tune was great! I loved the background sounds of am-sounding radio in Spanish - like faraway signals you'd pick up on your radio at night when there were lots of sunspots to help the frequency. Wish they would get back together and tour.

Barbecued iguana and a face full of beans. Pretty funny video.

Nice flippant tune, gives feel of being in "Tiajuana, eating barbecued Iguana"..end shot with the front man's head in a bowl of beans was daring in its day.

It's not technically the best video, but I always liked the simplicity of it. Although Toni Basil makes a really frightening cheerleader...

Man, did "The Matrix" rip off this video or what? One of the videos most likely to cause your head to explode upon prolonged viewing? Definately. Jammin' riffs too.

Very new-romantic style; kids with painted faces dressed up playing with toys, dollhouses, stuffed animals, etc.

It's so funny the way he rags on Jimmy Swaggart throughout this video. The story is, televangelist Jimmy sleeps with a prostitute after calling Ozzy an agent of the devil. Then Jimmy confesses his sin on tv. Ozzy thus begins to make the video inside a church full of pigs, and relentless lines like "Now Jimmy he got busted/with his pants down" at which point in the video Ozzy is walking around and his pants fall down and he yanks them back up. There's a lot of pig humping as well. A rather hilarious video...I love it!!

Its just thrilling, like a good movie!

This goofy video was launched a recurring theme in PC videos-- Multiple Phils! Against an all-white background, we see seven different versions of Phil in varying outfits, playing instruments that aren't there. It starts with Phil on drums(of course), then two horn section Phils on sax & trumpet, a singing Phil, Phil on keyboard during the chorus, and continual filps to two Phils playing air guitar & bass. The special effects are state-of-the-art for 1981, but it's still a cool video to watch. the Multiple Phil gag was repeated in his clips for "You Can't Hurry Love" and "Two Hearts".

Oh Come On, I love how mushy John Waite gets in this powerful chart topper yeah he slammed the pay phone and injures wrist but thats not why I love this video I love it cause John is showing a fairly softer side rather than his bad boy side when he was with The Babys or Bad English but its So 80s with a touch of West Hollywood PEACE OUT LOVE Rosie

Annie looks very sexy in this especially with the red lipstick on and the black cat suit-type thing. Her curves are to die for! That's why I like it. The way she moves and everything!

Kinda dark, gloomy setting but the tune kept you mistified and wondering what the hell is this tune about?!

Ice dancing contest, and a singing turtle. At the end, the judges hold up their scores - which spell out DON'T BE AFRAID. I dunno - it seemed like art at the time.

The mystic feel of this video makes me wish I could get a video or better yet a DVD of this video. Does anyone know where one could go online to buy a DVD of Gowan's music "Moonlight Desires"? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

A great video. Whenever I hear this song, I just want to run right out and dance on a Mayan pyramid. And for Jared Brookes, yes, Larry is front man for Styx on their tour.

Christian imagery, haunting vocals and a slick post modern video look. It was made for agnostic appeal.

I love this video because i just love the song. Also, Bryan Ferry is one of my idols to look up to.

styl very fun music

Man, this video rocked! The only equivalent I've seen nowadays is Bjork's "All full of love." You have to give Styx credit for trying to create a mini-motion picture, with the video to Mr. Roboto. It was a bold and (at the time) very expensive effort. Damn cool song, too (is that a Jupiter 8 I hear?) -- Jared. Hey, what's this about Larry Gowan playing for Styx now? Is that true? Kinda' cool, if it is.

Amazing video made with computer animation

It was love at first sight from the moment I first saw Pete Burns in "That's They Way (I Like It)". I adored this song and I thought he looked fantastic in this video with his ripped denims and black leather jacket. I always wanted to be the flower he put in his mouth as he wiggled his ass to this camp, hi-nrg tune. GET ME TO THE DOCTOR!! Cos my heart goes bang, bang, bang, bang when I see Pete Burns!

Mtv played this all the time back in the early days around 1982. Needless to say there was a lot of black-and-white Psycho-esque references. Oh, and I always got a kick out of the title of the album in the lower left hand corner: "From the Tearooms of Mars To The Hellholes Of Uranus".

The video is a different version than that of the one on the album, "Rio". But it's just as great with its livlier beat, and the guys look fabulous as usual.

because his in it and he has a great voice

This video is truly Awe-some for one reason, there is a cute girl in J.P's car [riding shotgun], he has his right hand on her thigh. She is wearing shiny, yellowish pantyhose (great legs!)- the lyrics then sung are, "I put my hand, on your stockings, & I was moving nice & slow, I let my fingers do the walking..." And the video shows these actions. It is cheezy -yes, but the cute girl in the great outfit- so Awesome! If anyone has this video- CONTACT ME !!

michael looks hot,and the music fab,fab video.

I have a great memory involving this video...I remember once when I spent the night at my best friend's house, we stayed up like half the night waiting on MTV to play this. We were both in love with Michael Hutchence and neither of one us was going to be able to sleep until we saw his gorgeous face. They did finally play it, and we were so excited we started jumping all around her bedroom, squealing like the 9 year old girls that we were. We woke up her parents and they were super pissed, but it was so worth it. Anyway, it's a really sexy song and video. RIP Michael Hutchence...the world misses your talent.

I remember watching this video on MTV when I was young. I have a copy of the music video, and I love watching it. It's a way cool music vid. Limahl and Beth Anderson (backing vocals) are shown singing the song, in a setting that looks like an underground sewer area. Beth is dressed in a black leather outfit, and Limahl is wearing is white T-shirt, and is sporting his famous bleached-spiked hairdo. The band that plays the backround music are also featured in the vid. It's a very enjoyable music video, (and even through it's a rare one) it's worth seeing.

One of the best songs from the 80s!Cool video, showing Rick singing in a nice place.WATCH IT!

It was such a simple, buy beautiful video. INXS, unfortunately, were known to be a very flashy video band, and this video showed their other side. Walking around Prague never looked so appealing until you see Michael in that winter coat.

A fun video with the very lovely Kylie Minogue wearing many outfits ranging from the 1920's to the 1970's. My personal favorite was the '70s disco outfit she wore because, like always, Kylie looks beautiful.

An obscure video from 1984 I found on a compilation DVD that's really good!!! The girl in the video looks cute too. It's a typical "heartbreak" type video with a guy coping from a bad relationship and now found a new girlfriend...or something like that. The song also rocks!

This is by far one of Duran Duran's greatest videos. The band all appears to be staging some sort of revolution, and the video shows them getting stuff together and passing out flyers and such. In the end, they run through the streets shooting off fireworks and celebrating the victory. You can see all 5 members, and they looked awesome as usual. Great video!

I remember that whenever this video appeared on MTV, I'd stop to watch and listen. The song was very catchy, although the lyrics didn't always make sense ("Shake up the picture with the lizard mixture"???) in classic Duran Duran fashion. Yet the images in the video were quite captivating -kind of like watching a short movie of "revolutionaries" spreading the word and kicking out the "establishment" who were riding around on horseback. I think in one scene Simon gets bumped pretty hard by a horse as it runs by. The end made you want to dance in celebration to the "new moon on Monday and a fire dance through the night..." Great, classic 80s video!

One of my favorite INXS videos, which features them performing on the balcony of a hotel with neon lines floating around. Though not really as great as "Need You Tonight/Mediate" or "What You Need", but still fun to watch.

This video really captures the U2 spirit...worried about history,war...this shows their involvment,and it's so different from others videos from the 80's...Just 4 singing guys in the snow!!no girls, no sun, 4 lonely guys in the snow!!

This was a rather unknown video from Martin (better known for her "Separate Lives" duet with Phil Collins) but one of the most haunting I've ever seen. Martin plays a femme fatale who dates all these different men, and there's something sinister about it. Late in the video, a boy playing in the street chases his ball down a stairway to a basement room, and runs off in sudden terror. The police arrive shortly after, and find the basement room cavernous, and filled with dead men hanging from the ceiling. At the very end, a crowd has gathered, and Martin is standing at the edge watching emotionlessly. She turns and pulls her mink coat's hood over her head, and walks off nonchalantly. This is one I'd love to find on video, since MTV stopped airing it after two weeks and probably hasn't aired it since.

At the time a lot of rap videos were just showing the main rapper and his way of living. Chuck came out and threw all that aside, putting comedians, other rappers, history, and whatever else he could into his video. The Video starts out with Chuck about to rhyme and once he staes "Here it is, Bam!" the video is snowed out and a news report comes on. Then after Chuck is interupted a few more times a commercial for "Beeper Tie" pops on in the middle of the song. The video was amazing, the song had a VERY strong message, and it changed Rap videos from there on...

Their only video from their only album and one of the few videos that has everything to do with the song, even adding a new dimension to it. Directed by the same man who did U2's incredible "With or Without You" video and the video for "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman, it stays true to the album's matte photography and creates a dark mood for the piece. David Freeman sings this song as he watches his ex-love get in bed with another person and slowly gets farther away from her as the video progresses. Very slow shots and close-ups also mark it in contrast to the MTV standard of editing. Overall, a worthwhile addition to a collection, if you can find it.

Another great song/video from the '80's teen queen. This featured a cameo of Danica McKellar of "The Wonder Years", and Deborah looked beautiful in this video.

A funny video from 1987 that features The Beastie Boys poking fun of hairband videos. It also featured groupies,a record exec., and a person in a gorilla suit. (Pure comedy) Also a great song.

One of the VERY first videos on MTV in 1981. Scenes of Venice Beach I think? at sunset... great song... probably never played again after 1982. I miss it... and want to see it again

Along with "Shake Me", this is one of my favorite Cinderella videos that featured many hairband video cliches like cheesy visual effects, attractive models, and great guitar solos.

I love the satire in it and the way in which is performed

It's an awesome example of really good music, and the video is a collection of clips from the movie this song was featured in.

i think its a good video and could yoou send it to me so that i can play it on windows media player?

b-e-a-utiful!! A gorgeous clip with a magnificent story line. Love the Slash solo out in the desert. The same chapel is in the "I Think We're Alone Now" (Tiffany) film clip.

It was my best friends favorite song and she was killed in a car crash last year. It brings back good memories of her, when I hear it, and I love the video.

This video was so bizarre! It really freaked me out! But I became obsessed with Laurie Anderson and grew to be a big fan after seeing this minimalistic, nine-minute oddity at the tender age of thirteen. That's what I miss about the old MTV: in between the teenybopper crap, they'd play wildly experimental stuff like this.

A campy classic from 1985 featuing the band near a fountain. There's many scenes of them wearing fun costumes like a pilot, astronaut, harem, knight, etc. The video is fun to watch. Along with a very catchy song.

Ok, this video was just unbelievably cheesy!! Adrienne, the little girl singer in the video (can't remember the last name) sings about her father. It's such a corny song, and she runs around and acts cute. Her dad sings the song too (I guess that's her dad). The live-action is also intercut with animated scenes...the cheesy '80s animation type. I saw this on VH1 Classic's show "We Are The '80s," which tends to showcase some pretty obscure '80s bands and songs. I've heard of many of them, but this was new to me!!! All in all, it's a pretty funny video.

In my opinion this a turning point for Madonna, from 80's Madonna to 90's Madonna. Without this she could never have made the next step to Vogue. It's all about her relationship with her father and ex-husband Sean Penn. In the video we can see how she suffered from her mother's early death and how that effected the relationship with her father in a negative way. We can also see about Sean's drinking problems and their abusive relationship. In this very dark video we see her leaving her man and reconsiling with dad at mother's grave in the end. She's come to terms with all the difficulties, she accepts what happened and now they can't hurt her anymore ("You can't make me cry, you once had the power"). And so this enables her to look at the future again, leaving the past to rest, accepting it. I think it is beatiful and brilliant and criminally underrated. Trivia fact : The video was directed by none other than David Fincher (Se7en, Panic Room, Fight Club, The Game, etc...) who also directed some of Madonna's other videos (Vogue and the also criminally underrated Bad Girl)

This is one of my all time favorites. Cool song, and the video had a cool story. The band is playing a concert and jamming away. The concert footage is intercut with the story about a prisoner who has a beautiful woman visiting him. There are small holes in the window, and the couple put thier hands together symbolically, with the glass seperating them. Apparantly, she slipped him a key. The lead singer is the prisoner, and suddenly he is outside the prison, running while dogs, cops, and lights follow just moments behind him. Suddenly, he is on stage for the last verse of the song, with the beautiful woman in the audience. The cops are looking around, befuddled. This is a classic!

Live video from fatty David Gilmour and co. Looks silly cos of his godawful shirt and the way he raises the guitar neck he is holding when he needs to reach the high singing notes. Needed more shots of the spunky black back-up singers!

This video was just plain silly. The tune was catchy but just to watch David Byrne made this video very memorable.

I love this video because it is visually disturbing. For those who haven't seen it the band is in a warehouse playing their song, and they used video clips from Dalton Trumbo's movie "Johnny Got His Gun". And if you haven't seen this flick it's about a guy who goes off to war, is in an explosion and is left with no arms, legs, face, voice, sight, etc. A true living vegetable. It just shows small highlights from the movie, but from what I've heard the song was written because of the book and movie. it was funny to see this dark and dreary video and then have MTV jump to a dance or early hip hop video.

Another weird, cool one. Directed by Devo's Bob Casale, and boy, does it show. Jane with the cow puppet is just too much. The movie projector in the breakaway shed, the weird-looking country-folk and Jane walking that cow, it's all so Canadian.

The song and video that turned me onto INXS. I was fascinated with the cats walking all over the banquet table while everyone was feasting. Just a cool song, a cool video. I would sit for hours waiting for it to air on MTV. God, how I miss those times!

good video. features shots from around the town he lives in.

It begins with a guy climbing on a bridge who drops his I.D. in the water.

The video (from 1987) that started it all for the original teen queen! It's a very surrealistic video that features Deb on the beach & a carousel. Maybe a bit cheesy by today's standards,but better than watching today's TRL garbage.

It came at a go time

Martha Davis....Why else

An amazing and unique approach to making a video. The song itself is majestic and soaring. The video takes a simple premise and makes it work. The female gymnist jumping over the televisions worked so well....especially when each band member is shown on seperate tv's. A unique idea that is really cool to see. The 70's band 10cc (Kevin Godley and Lol Cream) were the brainstorm behind this video, in addition to Asia's other video from their 1982 debut album: Heat of the Moment. Very cool, very visual, and most of all very 80's!!!!!

I think that everything about this video worked well in complementing the song. The band performing on TV monitors as a gymnast leaps around and does various other gymnast things, it was perfect.

Ok, lemme get this out of the way--I am completely not into Madonna dancing around in the black teddy, but I really thought it was funny how she "seduced" the innocent underage boy in the video, and he runs off with her at the end.

Well, I do not "Love" any video, but this music video is my favourite as it has Madonna in a black leotard & black fishnet-Pantyhose. Very good dancing, great great outfit. I really wish videos were as good as this today. Need I say more? (well, i will !) 'Weird Al' Yankovic did a funny talk-over of this video as it was playing, (on his "AL tv" show) I was in 8th grade at the time yet never laughed so hard.

The younger sister of Maire Brennan and also a former member of the renowned Celtic group Clannad, Enya peaked on the album Watermark and also with her unique direction of videos and songs. This was one of the first videos I saw to be very spiritual and also the first one to use pixellation for a painted effect. It's not much in terms of plot. Just a simple storytelling video, but the images they use to illustrate the story are incredible. Time-lapse photography, stills, and superimposition set it apart from the cheesy hair bands that dominated the late 1980's. The moon rises in the background as Enya pauses, Spanish Galleons launch when she says "Sail Away", and that cool water that blasts over the camera whenever you hear "crash upon your shore". OH, perfect eye candy!

It's a fun song/video from 1988 featuring Debbie (now Deborah)Gibson flipping through a photo album. The photo album had "moving" pictures of Deb, her band, Jeff Russo (who later became a member of the '90's alternative pop band Tonic) as her boyfriend, and two of her actual relatives. My favorite part is when she's pillow fighting with Monica & Michelle. (Deb's relatives) This video may look dated now,but it's fun to watch like any other video from the original teen queen. Debbie Gibson looked cute and had a wide range of talent that later she became a Broadway Diva with 2 great/underappreciated albums under her own record label. (Still not enough? She even wrote a musical. I'm not that big a fan of musicals,but it shows talent.)

From Springsteen's sideman's 84 Voice of America. Second best political album, after Lives in the Balance. Anyway, OotD was an 'anthem' video, like Eye of the Tiger, but much more well done.

Little Steven and his song "Out Of The Darkness", means a lot for me. In a period of my life after i was separated from me sons mom, i was addicted to drugs and thinking a lot at suicide. But when i not could see any light in the end of the tunnel, i listing at his song time after time. So at many ways i feel this song have help through the hardest period of my life. If any that read this and that have or know others that have the video of this song, i had be very grateful if someone could send it to me. My msn adress is: deja_vu_de_la_angel@msn.com and my yahoo adress is: haraldjohansen@yahoo.no . Anyway,Thanks to Little Steven.

Its just a classic to me, the way i feel when i here and see the video.

From the fat guy talking funny, to the huge drum crushing them, it makes you think of those days back in school when the only thing you worried about was what you were going to wear, and if you would be home in time to catch Knight Rider, The A team, or an ABC afterschool special.

It's completely nonsense, what does that eagle mean? And then the worms... Plus the song is great...

The part where all of the band members are hanging on wires and flying over Van Halen's gigantic 1984 stage is hilarious!

This was one of my favorite videos when I was little. I always liked the scene with the kids playing basketball at the beginning. Also, the little girl in the video was really cute.

I loved everything that this band did, but this video was like a quick look into what was going on in their lives at that point...the traveling, the hotels, the shows, and the women.

When I was a little kid, I remember that all the time "Paradise City" was on MTV. This video made me a gn'r fan. I liked it in every aspect: Axl's moves, Slash's hat, Duff's masculinity, Izzy's guitar and Steven's drums.

I believe this video came out after the first single from Appetite called "Welcome to the Jungle". I love this video because we get to see more of what Axl is like. And he looks way hot in this. There are a couple of scenes that I can watch over and over. I like the black and white to color, it makes the video classic. My favorite scene is toward the end of the video, just after a guitar solo, and you see Axl run across the stage, and do his trademark side to side snakey dance thing that he always does. I can watch this over and over just because Axl looks sooo good in this one.

A front-running tune for the short-lived TV series, "Max Headroom," the Paranoimia video paralleled the cutting-edge creativity of the series itself- a fresh spin on what happens when a human being and a computer (aka: robot) are intermixed. "Max Headroom" was the main character in the video, showing his face on a CRT monitor, and worrying about getting to sleep. "...WHY can't I just get TO SLEEP? Maybe I can try po- po- poetry... 'Come, sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak.' Huh. Doesn't even rhyme."

This is a hilarious video. "Mom, put back the double-knit reversible slacks."

Actually, this video was funny. Eddie sings this song in a recording session while Rick "Superfreak" James watches. I laugh every time I see it--I just can't picture Eddie singing!!!!!!!

99% of my favourite music videos are just girls in sexy outfits, ("Legs", "Open your heart", "Naughty naughty", etc...), but this video (& song) by my 2nd fav. group 'rush' is so dramatic. I highly recommend that you see it if you have not. It is shot in black & white, the song has a lot to do with suicidal thoughts and carrying on. In the video there is a main character- 16-19 yr. old walking through high school and city streets & a-top buildings. "inter-cut" (as you people here like to say) the band playing very well as they are known for- in a basketball court-cage. "Proud swagger out of the school-yard, waiting for the worlds applause, Rebel without a conscience, martyr without a cause..."

blimy,this was a no.1 back in 1982,they we're such a great bans,i love this video,i love the bit at the end they dance in the court.

The visual attributes of this video were almost mesmerizing. A wonderful demonstration of the use of black and white imagery in order to create an emotional 'texture'. The rapid intermingling of media and technique was absolutely astounding! Almost subliminal in its execution. Truly an overlooked, visual masterpiece interwoven in a tapestry of musical intrigue.

Well, actually, this video makes me laugh really badly each time I see Dave dancing. Very lame looking dance but it's quite cute. Also the concept of so much movement in the video is pretty cool as well as the war and cannon scene. Really interesting, sadly, I think Depeche Mode deserves more credit in terms of music, they have great songs that I think were really original.

One of my favorite songs by Depeche Mode, and one of their best videos. I love the scratchy, black and white (and tinted) look. It all goes so perfectly with the music. The imagery is very interesting too (notice all the Christ-like poses)...It's a visual feast

What happens when you put a Marilyn Monroe look-alike, a rock band, and a great song together? You get a great video!

A Marilyn Monroe look-alike is all they need for that video. Perfect. If you haven't seen it, watch it.

the best mtv video,they were just so hot and sexy band in heavy metal/

The man was pulling the weight (like a beefcake) and that singer, singing the song, OH!!

This is such a feel good video with Natalie sitting in the back seat of a convertible pink caddy on the trunk part.

I love the video because it's like a movie. Especially when the video has two parts to it. Best song and video ever.

This is the video that defined all Janet videos. The video takes place in a warehouse, where it's just her practicing her dance moves...and the dancing was just spectacular.

Alice's albums were not as succesful in the 80's as they were in the 70's, until "Trash" was released in 1989. And the best way to promote his album was his No. 1 hit single "Poison" and of course the video that rocked the world back in the late 80's. Alice looks great in black leather,in chains, his band on the blue background is just perfect and Rana Kennedy (the model Alice sings for) is so sexy. There are two versions of that video. One of the most important videos of a real legend of hard rock. Must see it!

The Guys in the band looked hot. Lots of big hair, and suits. It was on a bit opera style stage,with lots of color. And the girl in the video was very pretty. And being an archer, I loved the bow in the video.

I'm gay and flaboyant and this video really relates to me. Boy George and everyone from the 80's was good. Gay pride!!!

I remember the first time I saw it....I KNEW that it was one of the best songs ever...and Joe was such a turn-on!

This video is great. The U.S. version of the video was just live video from concerts, but this version is not. It shows them in a house doing the song and everyone outside of the house is rioting for some reason. They try to knock the house down but nothing works. At the end some lady blows the house up with dyonmite and then you see the guys from Def Leppard standing outside with the crowd. This is a very good video. It's sort of an equivalent to the "Me and my wine" video. Two Thumbs up!!

Early MTV video. Pat in a bitter divorce scenario... Neil, her guitar-player/husband in an Arab headress plays a pink B.C. Rich #6 (Rich Bich) guitar...great solo... cheesy early video special effects. Gotta love it!

first of all, this is a band that i consider rulers of eighties music and a dominating force on the video scene from the eighties."Pride" is a timeless classic set in black and white and shows the band in their infancy.

the 80's were a time that men wore make up,for etc.david bowie or any band or singer,but adam and the ants were fab,this video was fab,they show so much style,also this is great,i love the bit were they all dance in the ball.

This video combines great special effects with the beauty of Queen's lyrics and was the crowning achievement of the album A Kind of Magic. Chris Lambert (Highlander) even makes an appearence.

The best part about this video is the obvious camp of Daryl and John and the band flashing to private eye suits complete with a Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass in one scene. Also GE Smith on lead solo mirror shot, classic 80's!

This video is pretty cool, solely for the fact that the little Puerto Rican guy blinks his eyes with great effort every time the tall guy goes "Private Eyes!"

Back when they were cool, the pre-Breakfast Club Simple Minds made this very stylish video. The X-ray, the sand-filled room, the test-pattern backgrounds, it didn't mean a whole lot but it sure did look cool. They did a video for "Glittering Prize" from the same album, it's likewise very classy and cool.

The imagery is hypnotizing!! A very haunting but oddly entertaining video.

First, anything with massive closeups of Martin Gore are the best. Secondly, Depeche Mode rocks and lastly 80s rule!!!!

A car chase, an attractive waitress dancing during Vito Bratta's guitar solo, and some great camera angles make up an excellant video.

It was an amazing video merging Queen's pomp with images from the movie Metropolis. Queen at their video best in my opinion, not their musical best mind you. :)

i remember watching this aerosmith video and how it helped me realize what hormones were lol.

This video sticks out in my mind as one of the most integral experiences of my childhood. It also helped me realize what "dirty" meant.

Great New York/street/rap/graffiti vibe. The guys look cool as usual with their leather jackets and converse sneakers and Debbie is spunky

Love this video cuz it has a relaxed and (obviously) colourful sense of fun, similar 2 most Prince songs and vids. Great style in Costume, Hair, Set (weird but stylish), and the animation is excellent. The only thing missing is sum typically brilliant dance moves from the Royal Funkster himself.

I was in this video and my ex-girlfriend accidentally taped soap operas over the only copy of it I had.

I really fell in love with this video. It was one of the first really "surrealistic" conceptual videos I'd ever seen, and I'd kill to see it again. No real storyline, just some bizarre, dreamlike images: Gary sleeping fitfully on a bed in a white room with red paint streaming down the walls, Gary passing through a Y-shaped window into a burnt-out forest, a lady in black handing a white "Y" to Gary, which he drops and breaks...It was directed by music video pioneer Brian Grant, who also directed Gary's "Heartbeat" video from the same album. (Haven't seen that one.)

Great imagery in reqards to the Wright Brothers and their first flight. Done in black & white and really cool to watch. Bands put some thought into their videos back then.

There is nothing like watching John Taylor and his bass guitar. Let alone, everyone getting wet.

The energy in this video is unreal - film of a (staged) concert - the highlight is where the water crashes out of a huge videoscreen - and the audience is `splashed` - cheesy special effect - but wild song, wild group!

I was big on MTV back then. I didn't even need to like the videos, somehow, I was unable to stay away. I believe this was by far Duran Duran's most stylish video and a great song to boot. This "concert footage" type video always did for me.

Duran Duran were the ultimate when it came to videos. They were just the most SEXY group of men I ever seen!!!!!!!!

This video is great because it's funny and entertaining at the same time, not to mention it was also controversial at the time it was released.

It was made when MTV was still fairly young and there is so much that they dared to do(the fake sodomy scene at the end) and they really pushed the limits of what you could and couldn't do in video. It's also extremely clever and looks really expensive to make!

Duran Duran nothing compares to what this group has accomplished. This song was the best 80s pop song by far. "The reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the paaaarrrkkk......."

i know people in the video would like to see it

This clip was one of my absolute favourites because of the dancing moves. (ha ha) The moves ain't so hip now, but I still find myself doin' the "tay, tay, tay" part.

Goes back to '83! This vid is a trip! It's like goth glam or something. lol. It's very 80's new wave sync'd with dark sets, a murder scene, & a cute lady sitting in an electric chair(which gets electrocuted as the vid ends). I had forgetten all about this vid until watching VH1-Classic recently. Wow, Ministry have been around for a while! :D

First of all it's by the most talented woman on earth...janet!!! It has every race and color together; it made such a statement to me. Janet is just awesome.

I love this video because of the dancing and what it's talking about. I was only 4 yrs old when the song came out and am still a fan to this day because of it.

First of all, it's a great song. Not very often played on radio these days, but whenever it is me and my fellow police officer raise the volume of our car stereo in the patrol car. I always have to sing along, happy to still remember the text. The video shows Nik Kershaw running around in a really weird building, and he is wearing some kind of green spandex-suit, searching for the answer to the riddle.

i love all decades,but this is the best ever decade,and very glamourous, and always be remembered,this was 6 weeks no.1,a huge dance hit,with a fantaszing video,woman screaming as well.

Very mysterious song. Very mysterious video. And who doesn't love a good mystery? The mysterious atmosphere and brooding mood of the video meshed well with the pulse-pounding urgency of the song's synthesized melody to create just that right blend of suspense, intrigue, and well...mystery. Both song and video created a sort of cross between noveau art and shadowy surrealism creating a truly classic mood piece. Very surprised it had not been previously mentioned.

This video brings back so much memories. Your sight looks great. thank you.

He plays a piano and sings all through the song.

It reminds me of my boyfriend and it's a really good song.

The ultimate in cheesy metal video's.

It looked like a lot of rich beautiful people were having a good time, wearing lots of makeup and expensive suits....the things that the 90's lacked.....FUN

sexy,men wear make-up in all decades,but i love evreything about duran duran,this video is amazing,they're gorgous sexy guys,also simon got splashed in water while the girl pulled the telephone wire.

I love this song. I even downloaded it. It's so upbeat and makes you feel like dancing. And the video for it is great. They were playing it on TV so I decided to record it. The bright colours, the parade. You just wish that you could have had a chance to join in!

The feel of this video is just so upbeat. It's a parade of sorts through the streets where the band is on a float, and a bunch of people are dancing in the street...it's so happy, and a true testament to upbeat videos of the '80s.

Besides an excellent instrumental, all the robotics used in the video were awesome for it's time. I greatly enjoyed watching the machines move to the beat and see Herbie himself in the video.

This video is hilarious.. from the hair, to the outfits, to the lobster.

I Love the music, it's freaky...like me.

This video is cool because it combines old classical music with hip hop

i remember this video was played on mtv,it was amazing,best song from pyromania,they look hot.

beacause this video is hot and is very good.

I was 10 back then and remember how powerful and wild the video looked for me. All those amazon-jungle-vampiresque looking girls coming out from everywhere and trying to get out of their jails, like furious wild animals...I never got tired of watching it. Very 80's.

Wow. Where do you start? The cool use of electronics or the simple freak-out factor of 'living' mannequins...however you slice it, it's one of THE best videos of the 80s.

It Was Just Innovative In A Time When Fog And Laser Machine Are The Norm.

I like very much the band and this song, especially when I knew it was written by singer Steve Lukather for his girlfriend Rosanna Arquette at the time. The album Toto IV was a multi-platinum Top Ten hit including the million-selling hit "Africa"...in which the video has been already posted here.

Disembodied legs. ZZ Top was one of the top groups played in heavy rotation on MTV and computer animation was becoming more prevalent in videos. Don't know if I was sober or not the first time I saw this video but it's always stuck in my mind. I know it got lots of protests for portraying women as just body parts but I thought the video was cool. The song has a great slow, sexy, walking beat and a great bass line.

Spandau Ballet had lots of good videos unseen on U.S. MTV. This one utilized simple imagery of children in a school play to represent the lyrics of the song in a meaningful fashion.

I love the red background and the simplicity of the video. It was very avant garde and not cheesy at all even to this day.

I just love this video...the Indians are so funny! Iron Maiden rules!!!

This is a video from the Reckless album which depicts the cool times throught the 80's. It shows Bryan rocking the stage, taking on all the weather elements, and looking for his sweetheart. This is by far my most favorite song from him. It has a beat that you can rock out to. I requested this at a club that I went to and everyone remembered it and danced, or sang. The one guitar jam near the end also makes it a hit.

This video is Bon Jovi's first video. They mean so much to me, and they have inspired me truly and deeply. This video has such fantastic rhythm and Jon looks gorgeous here!

Reason #1.Its Bon Jovi. #2.Its Cool Effects #3.Wonderful Song #4.Its just flat out AWESOME!!

I remember seeing this video on MTV 100 Minutes. This was a very beautiful video with kate Bush and Donald Sutherland, especially when the old man dies and the rain machines. This was a beautiful video.

Starts out with big wedding scene, and the one girl who does not have a date, the stares at all the couples. It goes into Lionel walking the streets picking up all of his friends and their dates. They sing, dance, "take the town" Then they crash the wedding and dance in front of all the guests, and you guessed it, Lionel gets the Girl, they have a final dance as they exit the ballroom. What a video, reminds me of my prom night, incredible lyrics, graphics, and dancing, 10 out of 10!!

I haven't seen the video for fifteen years. I remember when Jane Wiedlin kissed a dolphin in a scene of this video!

this has to be THE funniest video i have ever seen. It truely does make you want to get up dance like a fool. During the scene in the festival when they are all dancing in circles, i have seriously fallen off of my seat laughing. Anywayz, aside from a funny video it is great song.

Nothing says 80's more than Renn Faire Midgets.

It makes no sense

There is no way you could see this video without wanting to get up and dance!!! This song is just so infectious! And the video is hilarious! It just made me want to spin around in circles..dancing like a maniac!

I absolutely love how dramatic the whole video is, and the storyline is excellent. First you have the Depression era family staring at their farm as parts of the farm flash across the screen, and we see a little boy (who we later find out is Mickey Thomas) staring out too. Then they move onto Mickey, living in the same house years later, watching his girlfriend/wife Sara drive away. It then spins into a montage of memories ranging from Sara the girlfriend/wife, to Sara his mother whom is the woman with the little boy throughout the black and white clips. Absolutely wonderful. The most brilliant part is in the end when he is walking down the road, and the clouds start to roll across the sky and we hear thunder (hence the lyric "Storms are brewing in your eyes"). What a great concept.

This one was a real jaw-dropper. Roller-skating ghosts in dunce-caps? Dancing demons? Flying books? O...kay. And then there's the song itself. A real bold move of Kate to choose such an uncommercial tune as the lead-off single for her new album. She commanded my immediate respect with this.

I love this video cause its so sweet. It really suits the song and is really romantic. I love the sri lankan background.

This video, along with most of 80's entertainment, capitalized on the most recurring theme of the 80's...decadence. You have a group of guys running around in an exotic land having a good time. Sri Lanka was the setting for this particular video and that brief 3 and some odd minutes of song made that little island look as magical and inviting as any other place on the planet. Too bad Sri Lanka doesn't exist in a vacuum. The world and all its woes has caught up with her.

It was a neat, little, bizarre bar scene...plus I like the song.

I love this video simply because it is so beautiful and makes me want to pull out a box of kleenex. I just love Simon when he's picking up that little Sri Lankan boy in his arms. Nick and John look so adorable when they are siiting on the elephant's back. Heck- they're all so cute!

The video was so romantic and has a good flow as it is like a short romance movie. Oh, and Whitney looks great as well.

Actually, this is a correction. The description I submitted for the Triumph song "World Of Fantasy" is actually for the song "Say Goodbye". Is there anyway you could fix this? Thanks!

Camp, atmospheric, humour, Blitz Club Style Dancing. Completely embodies the New Romantic genre.

The video is a bit cheesy although it has very good ideas. Not a bad video for the 80s. I love it.

This is a great video and one of the greatest duets between Paul and Mike.This video is really neat,so any time you see it,keep watching.

The video for the song "Scandal", off of Queen's 1989 album "The Miracle", is actually sort of simple. The band performs on a tabloid-inspired stage. It's a real good song, and the video just makes it better.

The video for this song is pretty cool. Basically it's the 3 girls straightening up a beach house for the winter (hence "seasons change"), and they show Jeanette Jurado singing in between shots of the girls packing up clothes, putting sheets over the furniture and other various things. I love when they're all sitting on the piano singing. It's a great video.

Outside the R&B genre, Karyn White was greatly underappreciated. But in this video, she was the star. The sexy and talented Karyn nearly spent the entire video singing, spinning, flirting, and so on. With lyrics like "...gonna lock the door, throw away the key, its ectasy", who wouldn't get excited? When the video was over, and she was finished flirting with her band, Karyn winked at the viewers. (namely me!) Excuse me while I take a really COLD shower!

it is the best song so that is why i love the video clip

I just love Real Life and the video is great with the song. Girl being stalked by a lion like man in the woods....its just awesome!!

2 words: Air Keyboards. The video is sheer genius.

I love this video because I like Journey. It is one of the few videos that they did. I also think it has to be the worst and most funny thing to look at. Its like watching your most embarrassing home movies, you just cringe while watching it. Funny stuff. But I love it. :)

One of the earliest videos from director Anton Corbijn, which I hadn't seen until I bought "The Work of Anton Corbijn" on DVD. Also one of my favorite songs from Echo & The Bunnymen. The imagery of the fishes, penguins, and some of the band members in costume and the set, several things that lack in music videos today, if there's any.

I like this video mostly because no one ever gives it any credit.

This is such a cool and beautiful video. They band is playing in this colorful room with these random stone columns and there is a symbol of a dragon holding a jewel or something at the very beginning. Very cool video. The song is great, too!

This video was filmed at Manchesters Apollo Theater and I'm in it. When the camera comes from the back of the crowd (there weren't many there) you can see 3 of us jumping about. I'm the one in the cap...we are in it a few times.

This was the video that got me into Berlin's music. The video is full of themes like: fashion, design, love, and trashy atmospheres. John Crawford plays a fashion designer, who creates a drawing of a sexy gal in flashy outfits (Terri); as the video comes to an end,John finally bumps into the girl of his dreams. Terri Nunn and John Crawford make a great team in this way cool vid.

Well done WWII themed video features Benatar as a factory worker daydreaming about leading a small air mission into Nazi territory and blowing up the headquarters. There are also small appearances by Judge Reinhold as an American pilot and Bill Paxton as a Nazi soldier.

An upbeat song/video from 1987 featuring Debbie (now Deborah) Gibson and some dancers on a very colorful set. (some '80's dance pop cliches are in the video) My favorite scene is where Debs is holding a shoe like a phone. (in a 50's convertible.) 100% Good Quality Cheese Not to mention that Debbie was quite a cutie.

This has to be one of his best. From the "band" scenes to the girl picking him up, driving, going to the diner (Rae's) and the great drag race, in which they win. And then at the end she was shakin, and just the look of "Oh-Yea" as he sings into the night with this awesome hit. They just don't make them like this anymore. I even requested this at a recent wedding I was at, EVERYONE remembered it and got up and danced.!! 10 out of 10!!!!

MTV was instrumental in the comeback of the Texas rockers. And this sexy video about a nerd's acceptance in high society is the major reason why. And then there are that trio of gorgeous women.

I want this video because one of my friends aunts is in this video..well supposidly..but i dont know if i belive her..and i wanted to see if it was actually true..so if n e one has any information about where i can find this video plz e-mail me..and it would be greatly appreciated!! thanks alot...

We all know there are a lot of great 80's music videos (any Madonna video, "Take On Me," "Sledgehammer," any Duran Duran video, but this is the one video that sums up the essence of the 80's - complete and utter cheesiness. The song is a classic 80's song - that's why it's so great. I'm surprised it wasn't already on here.

I've never seen it and I have known the drummer for 3 years but I he never mentioned he was in a band until recently because he's going on a reunion tour in Kansas City. I wanna see the video to see how good he is :o)

It was the very first video I ever seen on MTV . I loved it . Then came the YO! MTV RAPS and it all went downhill . Video killed the radio and rap , then all this other crap like Road Rules , Real Life , etc . killed the video . What happened to just videos , all day and night ?

I love this song , I love the band, and the video is just looks orginal not a lot of props or anything. Peter looks good!

One of my favorite early Beastie Boys videos that takes place on a beach. It featured many site gags, which reminds me of a Twisted Sister video, & attractive women.

A video that defines the times in the 1980's. This video rocks because a little boy is riding in a roller coaster cart with an older women. This is a hilarious music video which I first saw when I was five years old (I'm 24 now).

I Love This Video,becuase It Has A Very Good Rythum.and I Love Steve Perry, He's My Favorite Artist And His Band Is To.plus Don't Stop Believing,and Also Seperate Way.so If You Can Find It In You Heart To Make Videos On The Internet Please Do.

This is, in my opinion, still the best Music Video ever made, period. Its dark, disturbing, provoking, and has none of the usual garbage you see in videos from back then, or even now. Even the way he moves in the video seems in time with the music, very well done. Think it won awards, IMHO it should STILL be winning awards.

I love this video because this was the first video that I watched with Tommy Page and I fell in love with it instantly.

This song was the first one that I heard on AC radio when I was growing up in Toronto. Roland and Curt both have such magnificent voices and I had such a crush on Roland that it wasn't even funny.

"Shout a bit louder, louder. Can you hear me?" Pure genius in my opinion. The video features a guy in a hospital who dreams about doing what he loves, HEADBANGING, in attempt for revival. An early 80's classic that shows clips of the band on stage while the dude dreams he is at their concert. The best part is at the end when he pretends he's a Samurai (name of album) and goes nuts in the hospital. This anthem is exactly what the 80's was all about. Pure Rock and Good Times!!! Special thanks to the ones on the VH1C MBoard who requested this video. I play it all the time!!!!!

It's just a visually stunning music video. Someone told me that part of the video was filmed in the Isle of Wight. Roland and Curt chose the perfect background to film their music video.

A heart wrenching reminiscence of past videos and performances of queen -featuring Freddie Mercury. This video is done in memorial style -posthumously honoring Mercury. The powerful song and sentimental lyrics serve as a memorable if not tearful reminder of what could have been.

I like the concept of Bananarama giving a young man a makeover to impress the woman he wants to date. And then Bananarama throws water on the couple at the end.

All those gorgous girls in stockings..mmmm...SIMPLE IRRESISTIBLE!!

There Is No Better Song Ever Than Situation From Yaz And The Hard To Find Videos Are The Best Alison Moyet And Vince Clarke At Their Best!those Colors Those Moves Those Clothes They Definatevely The Best!

I believe this was the the music video with Dave made up as the fat guy... where some guy comments on his weight and he shoves him away by the face. The he was rolling around and could'nt get up... I remember it was hilarious but I have never seen it since then. I'd love to find it on video somewhere.. also the David Lee Roth video with the foreign grocer guy and the black chick in it. That was a lot of laughs too. Any info on finding any of this stuff on video, please let me know.

It's a good song + video! Rock on!

I remember this video from when i was a kid. Actually other i only remember 3 video's from when i was little. This, Micheal Jackson's Thriller, and Paula Abdul's Opposites attract. Like those, this video was so colorful it was great.

Did you ever watch this video? I think he took AGES to do it... very good.

As a little girl(early 90's) I was totally amazed by this video. I still love watching the steam train getting around Peter's head---very crazy and fantastic idea!! I also love scenes with quasy-rollercoaster, singing fruit and headless chickens. Last scene is the best. A crowd of people dance in a big surrealistic room and furnitute flies around. Then PG walks in the dark room, covered with shining white dots(stars). Creator of this video is a genius and PG proved (again!) he is a really great performer.

Is it any wonder this guy had movie offers after this video came out? Simply brilliant use of many different mediums--from fruit that made pictures, to chalk boards to dancing eviscerated chickens. Awesome!

Back when I was really young, I didn't even know Nick Park created it. Now that I know, I love it even more, especially the dancing headless chickens!

One of my fave 80's videos... there's an old lady rocking on a porch listing groups of 3 (3 blind mice, 3 musketeers, 3 wise men). Robbers steal some money and this couple spends the video trying to get away from them. The band members help them out by making a bridge and tent for them. Awesome video.

This is the only new wave song I like! There are many others i.e. Asia & Fred Astaire. But I just watch this video only.

I was totally stunned by this video. I loved 'Thriller' and this was even BETTER! Michael is really cool as a 1930's gangster-type and his dance moves are so cool.

I Love Michael's video Smooth Criminal, the dancing is off the hook and he is the best entertainer! I LOve HIM!!!

This video looks a little like an episode of Miami Vice, which later used the song in an episode and guest-starred Glenn. After a coke buy in Colombia turns deadly, Glenn evades capture by a ruthless DEA agent of replaces his murdered Latin partner with an American girl, played by his wife(at the time). He slips through customs in Miami, but she doesn't even get to her car before being arrested. Meanwhile, Glenn meets with his distributors in a safehouse, disappearing before the cops arrive, and find no trace of drugs. Glenn is cruising out of Miami when he's flagged by a motorcycle cop. He pulls over only to see it's the sleazy DEA man(who looks a lot like Vice's Lt. Castillo) with his gun drawn. His run from the law is over, but I never get tired of this song.

Well it's about some guy's girlfriend dumping him and there's a Humphrey Bogart lookalike and the song just rocks and well what can I say the band is just soooo different than any other band and much better than most 80s bands, anyway this song and video just rock

A great song/video from 1985 featuring Power Station (Robert Palmer, John Taylor, Andy Taylor, and one of the members of Chic). The video includes a great animation sequence of a woman dancing, neon colors,camera effects, and a good looking woman. The video actually fits into the song. May be a bit dated by today's standards, but still fun to watch.

Fairly simple video with the band in a warehouse, but the tune is what catches most people. One can always seem to recall where they were, and who they were with when this song comes on. This is from "Fast Times at Ridgemount High", one the the best movies from the 80's and of all time.

It was a great video. Rik Emmett had his best wardrobe choices there, and I loves his haircut! Not to mention it was a catchy song. Was? It is a catchy song...

Sung by Berry Gordy's son, this song was about a paranoid situation. Of course, the video is a complete nightmare. Michael Jackson sings in the chorus.

i love this video because it shows the British countryside from the train and it has that guy with the painted face and weird looking suit on. Its just something about it!

This song is quite possibly the best I've heard--not just from the '80s, but of all time in my view. To this day, no other song that I've heard has had a catchier hook and melody than "Something About You." Though it annoyed me that I couldn't understand what Mark King (The lead singer) was saying with his thick british accent, the entertaining video made up for it. All four band members being played by one woman, while a man dressed like the riddler in clown make-up (Also played by King) watches the events unfold. My favorite part of the video featured band keyboardist Mike Lindup arguing with the woman all the band members are after, while the riddler-looking clown looks through a window at the couple, then turns his head to the camera with a confused look on his face, as to say to Lindup,"Don't you know she's playin' you, man?"

I love this video and song because it brings up great memories of being in high school. Every once in a while I'll put in my Level 42 video tape and watch all their videos with a great big grin on my face!

I love this song becuase the artist expresses her self openly, her voice is so soothing and compelling for this love ballad. Also during the time the song was release i was a young teenager in love with someone who put "something in my heart".Please find and e-mail this video for me i've been seeking this video for years i do hear it on the radio time to time,but the video is what captured me. It is a R&B singer by the name of michel'le who came out in the late 80's early 90's. her name should be spelled exactly the way i spelled it with a hyphine between the l's. thank you sooooooooooooooooooooo much.

i love the video because if you listen to the words it really does send a positive message.also the video is very colorful i loved all of the outfits she changed into for the video.my sr year in high school.

a cool video,also on top of a building.

A middle-aged woman looks out of a window, and a man and a woman walk along a beach. (Note: This is from the "An American Tale" Soundtrack.)

The video was shot in Point Judith, RI. The song is pretty cool.

This music video is awesome like a 3D vitural ride like a ride you see at Walt Disney World.

The video was absolutely INCREDIBLE! It featured Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith walking and singing. Along the way, they encountered bowing birds, a flying umbrella, a flying violin and bow, an opera screamer, a peacock, etc. At the end of the video, a sunflower seed, planted by Orzabal, grew into a beanstalk-sized sunflower as it grows into space almost. WOW!

The video for this great rock anthem is just a live shot- them on their 1984 tour. But it is so great, close-ups of the drummer/lyricist Neil Peart with his long braid attached to short hair-cut, Geddy Lee lookin' stylish in clothes that his wife picked out (& 80's Steinberger bass)- and Alex Lifeson with his 80's workout pants and Miami Vice white Jacket jumping around whilst playing very well. This is a song & video combo. that you just want to jump around to and play loud! :O)

This video shows the band on a stage (I think it is). The video looks like it's dark on the stage. They all play the instruments. It is such a great video.

I love Tina Marie and my son wanted to see what she looked like. She had a powerful voice but she seemed to drop off the face of the earth.

Granted, it's kinda cheesy, but I loved it. You have John himself sitting in St. Elmo's Bar, which looks like it, ironically, caught on fire. It shows the actual gang (Emilio, Demi and so forth) looking in at him singing while clips of the movie play. Then in the end he kind of approaches each of the characters while singing the song. I liked it, even if there are some very corny parts.

Yeah, REM was still a bit of an underground group, but they had good music throughout the 80s. I love how carefree this whole video is. I mean, would you take it seriously after watching those adults dance?

I just love it. It's funny and it catches the mood of 80's.

Adam Ant was the 80's first real idol. With an image you had to love and the thrilling rhythms of the band, Adam & The Ants still stand out as one of the most innovative and groundbreaking bands of the 80's. Stand And Deliver was unusual for several reasons: First of all, until that point in time most videos were boring introductions of a band playing their instruments. Second, the cool image of Adam Ant as the higwayman still stands out in my mind as one of the most important video moments of the 80's.

I just love this video!!!! Stevie nicks is so cute in this video. One of her best songs EVER!! Stevie you rule.

What is there to say about a Stevie Nicks video that hasn't been said before? She is one of the best singers ever, and this video is no exception. Stevie twirling in chiffon, wearing lots of flowing garments and just belting out a great song. I love the part where she's on the conveyour belt and the lights dim so you can see her arms outspread with her robes just billowing in the wind. Absolutely awesome!

Roman Holiday was a Brit-pop band that had roots in East Coast Swing. Lots of horns mixed w/ electric rhythms. Although the band went "glam" on their second album its their first, "Cooking On /the Roof," that they are remembered for. Their videos, especially "Stand By" had 40's flavor w/ period clothing and style.

i like this video bcoz my fav actor is in it river phoenix and id love to c the music video again

cy curnin just looks great

This song came out just about at the end of his popularity amongst the mainstream. There is just something about the look and moodiness of the song that grabs my attention immediately. Out of all the videos I can remember, that one clearly comes up before most others. Rick looked great, but sad.

Great video. Peter Cetera is fixing this girl's car and then she steals it. He does his best "T.J. Hooker" imitation in this video and in the end gets blown up. Throughout the video, Chicago's other band members play other parts... cops, tow truck operator, etc.

Teen pop videos aren't the way they used to be. This music video featured clips from Debbie Gibson's "Live In Concert: The Out of the Blue Tour" and candid footage from backstage. Much like most hairband power ballad videos... like "Home Sweet Home" from Motley Crue, but Debbie Gibson was more in the bubblegum pop genre.

A fun video that spoofs Japanese vartiety shows that I recently discovered on a compilation DVD with other great clips.

The whole 'Night and Day' album tried to capture the feeling of NYC in the 1930s, and I think it succeeded nicely. Jackson playing the piano in the next room while a hotel maid plays 'pretend' with the trappings of a wealthy guest is original and classy.

Creepy video with Ritchie Blackmore walking around in this wasteland scenario, and these people with really frightening transparent masks on. Scared the hell out of me every time.

this video was simple,pete wylie looks young and pretty,he walks into the bar,starts dancing,singing,but people wouldn't listen,they ignored wylie then poor wylie walks out,i didn't get this video at first,why don't he go into the bar,and ask for a drink,anyway it's a good video and colourful

I am a dancer myself and seeing Paula tap dance in that video is awesome!

Excited for this song

I don't know if any non-Canadians have heard of Gowan, but this was a cute video. Gowan plays a wild man who has apparently never seen any other humans until he's captured by a group of scientists who want to study this "strange animal." I love the way he uses a bone as a microphone and lip syncs the lyrics. And I love the way he dances.

I like how he runs around and the catchy tune. My little one believe there is a strange animal dancing on the tv towers. I would like to find this video to show them the strange animal

Because I like Depeche Mode (DM in short), and I think the 1988 version of the Strangelove video (in color) has a great atmosphere of the video along with projections showing symbols relating to DM (ie: megaphone). Plus, all the members of the band look good there. ;)

This very dark, black and white video based on the 1961 film "Whistle Down the Wind" features Brad Dourif as a wanted man being hunted by the police. While trying to escape he finds temporary refuge in a barn and is mistaken for Jesus Christ by some of the small children. Dourif is asked to read a bit from the Bible as the kids gather to listen, and while doing so he is captured by the police. This is Toto's best video. Dourif is great, his expressions and body language are more than enough to understand the storyline; this along with Toto's haunting score creates more of a film short rather than a music video. Awesome directing and editing makes this one of the best produced music videos.

You can't beat a stand-up bass and slick pompadour hairdos for pure camp appeal, plus a it's a cool song. The Cats were unique with their whole Rockabilly thing, and campy uniqueness was the hallmark of the 80's.

It had a plot. It had a lovely cast. It rocked. A Sigmund Freud-like shrink does hypnosis on a patient who has the same dream about a beautiful woman being tied up. It turns out there is a woman being tied up---in the shrink's hidden room next to his office. The man discovers this, overpowers the shrink and he and the woman live insane ever after.

This video is great because the chick in this video is hot... and happens to be Keely Shaye-Smith, which is Pierce Brosnan's wife. Good song, great 80s band - awesomne video.

Truly a video about growing up. The high-school scenes, crusing, the partys. And when Dad shuts off the TV and throws the books at his son, that was me!!!

It's a weird video...totally full of contrasts. Although it's not a cheerful song, band members look very happy. They're playing their instruments in a funny way. Also, gestures of the vocalist (like a lunatic) are very strange. You should watch this video.

Most of the video was shot on a beach. The rolling waves were really pretty, even in black and white. Also, the video featured a beautiful little girl with long curly hair playing on the beach (since the lead singer was singing about his daughter). At one point, the video was in color and it shows the little girl in a split screen. One screen shows her running toward the camera and smiling, and the other screen is a close-up of her looking off into the distance and putting her hand over her heart.

Although the song nor the clip is very good, it definitely deserves a spot in the most special clips of the 80s list. I don't believe anyone ever sold herself out the way sabrina salerno did (up until the britney's started at least)

It's real 80's I think. Bright song and great strong video - where three handsome talented guys are searcing for "the way to keep the trouble distant". This video has such a power that you can't take your eyes off it.

The beginning of this video continued the story from the "Take on Me" video. It's quite sad because Morten turned back into a cartoon character and left the girl behind. I don't see how this connected to the rest of the video, but heck, I still enjoyed it. I loved the way they made it seem that the mannequins were playing the instruments.

A band of players (The way they do to classical music) with him singing the line "sss-sussudio". I can't believe the video!

I LOVE this video because axl Rose is soooooooo hot in it, and plus its my favortie song by any band alive!!!

I love this song, I love this video. I like that Axl wrote the song for Erin Everly and she is featured in the video. I like the use of black and white, it gives it a classic look. But this is a stellar video, I just like watching the whole band perform in the early days of their career.

The video is so awesome where Annie Lennox wears a men suit and an orange hair that she had and Dave Stewart that had short tall hair and sunglasses and a suit he wear and typing on the computer. The video is also where they start in the confrence room when Annie is standing to teach and Dave is typing as it goes from the confrence room to the lake and a farm of where the cows as the cow goes around the confrence room and at the end is Annie's bedroom where she turns off the light. It was the greatest music video as it was the first second music video by the Eurythmics after their first one from the 1981 In The Garden album that is Never Gonna Cry Again.

WOW, what a video! The beginning kinda reminds me of The Matrix, but the bass players in the video are using the wrong type of bass. They are playing an acoustic bass when the bass in the song is actually a synth bass.

I love that video.I just love when Andy Summers being Pete Townshend and Sting as Roger Daltrey and Stewart Copeland as Keith Moon.The colors on their clothes matches the album cover and I love when Sting was hanging on the rope in the beginning.

This video of the band in a junkyard showed that the Police could do any kind of music and still ROCK. I'm not sure if this video is a parody of heavy metal bands, but I love the destruction in it. By the way... I don't think they ever made a video for King of Pain.

cuz it's so 80's complete with synthesizer

I love to travel, and I wish that I can see many places around the world before I die. Anyway it was so cool how they taped Phil Collins in all those different cities. Trivia: they also planned to do some shots at the Taj Mahal, but they ran out of time and money. Anyway, if I was a professional singer and I was allowed to cover a video, it would be "Take Me Home", just because I could be in NYC, London, SF, Paris, Berlin, etc.

I just loved and still do love this video because it is an original 80's music video. I mean Phil goes around the world from Asia to Europe. Also, it is a good video to catch some of the 80's styles, especially in Tokyo and London. It seemed pretty cool back then to see an 80's style limo in Hollywood too complete with a jacuzzi.

I can't believe this video hasn't been mentioned yet. This is the second best video ever made next to the previously mentioned "Take On Me." How much effort was put into the making of this video? I especially love the superb editing that went into the making of this video, not to mention the effort put into filming in four different continents.

I remember thinking that any woman who sang and played the saxophone was cutting edge! I thought this video was great because I loved the song and the band so much. I always wanted to know who the guy was in the video - he wasn't in the band. I love the scene where she sings to the mannequin - it always makes me laugh!

Best romantic video of the eighties! Powerfully sung and performed by Berlin.

its the best love song video taken from a film great cast, great story, great soundtrack and of course great love theme

i simply love this video because it represented quite an innovation at the time, that is, combining animation with the rest of the images. besides, i still love the song to this day, so both the clip and the video rock! i remember i was 13 when i first saw it. i was so amazed by the sound and music...

This is the first animated video I really enjoyed!

*Cmon! This song and video are wayyy cool! I was very little when they released it. And I couldn't watch this video - every time MTV played it, I started to cry. I felt so sad for Morten Harket because he was stuck in this comic book. Great vid!

This was one of my favorite videos..still is today..what I want to know is what happens in the end? they totally leave you hanging!!!

This video really make me feel like dancing because it has a great beat

Do I even have to explain?

Great Combination Of Animated Visual Effects With Real-life Images. Very Fun To Watch, Nice-looking Singer, Good Voice, Good Song, And I Can Watch The Whole Thing And Have A Great Time Doing So. This Video Wont Ever Fade. :)

Far and away the best video of any decade. Definitely underrated, as this video is similar in style to Sledgehammer, but MUCH more complicated, yet Peter Grabirel is always ahedad of it on all time lists.

it is a unique and creative video. Also I love the song and it reminds me of when I was in school.

By today's standards this video still hold up pretty well. The effects are top notch and don't look hokey. I liked the "Altered States" reference. I also like it since the girl had a portable stereo which was the same model as mine!

This is perhaps my favorite video of the 80's, if not of all time, and has been since the first time I saw it with my girlfriend (now my wife.) The concept, the story, the effects. It was all just too cool. I love the idea of the girl going into the comic world, both of them escaping from it and then him crossing into the real world. Awesome stuff and quintessential 80's.

I always liked this video, to me it is the ultimate 80s video! If you go to this site... https://launch.yahoo.com/musicvideos/, you can see Take On Me and a lot of other really great 80s videos.

I loved the song without the video, but what a great and artful use of animation!

In my opinion one of the best 80's videos ever the black an white theme and the cartoon background into real life are almost believable.

"Someone singing and dancing, maybe a recording of a live performance..." I remembered telling myself the first time I turned on MTV. It'll never catch on. "They really need to make it more entertaining..." This was the first music videos that told a story--they didn't become an art form until this hit the airwaves. Years ahead of its time.

This video was unlike any other that was put out during its time. I think the idea for the video was great, not to mention the song is in my opinion in the top five greatest 80's songs. The sound is just awesome. A Classic Video.

Because I Remain The Music Of My Generation Good Times And Special Friends And Still Collecting 80's Music

ANY of the ZZ Top videos from the 80's were AWESOME! Cool roadsters,and those NAUGHTY GIRLS!!!!!!!

It was a one-hit-wonder band in the United States, but you can't say that the video wasn't one of the best! The song became popular because of the video.

The guy looking into the mirror and seeing the reflection as a sketch was awesome. Plus it is one of the best 80's songs out there.

Brilliant use of animation. My undisputed favorite song of all time for many reasons including the video, the music, Morten's voice (no one has his range at in pop/rock), and a ballet dancer that I dated back then that included the song in one of her performances. All around nastalgia. For those of you that never saw it and wonder how it all ends, or continues (I won't ruin it for you), "The Sun always Shines on TV" continues with the story.

The continuing adventures of the band and their misfit manager. This time the band ends up at Richard Bellar's family house by mistake as the manager thought he had booked an empty site. They end upstaying and making friends with the family. I still swear there is a cameo by Phil Collins cooking hamburgers at poolside. A great vocal by the late Paul Young (not the solo artist) who unfortunately died of a heart attack recently, soon after the group released a great self titled debut CD in Europe around 99.

Great early video from the Pretenders with their original lineup. James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon... trading off on this razor-sharp guitar song.... driving beat by Martin Chambers.... Chryssie Hynde's punk snarl vocals.

A great ballad and one of my favorite videos from Aussie pop singer Kylie Minogue that featured clips from an Austrailian movie titled "Delinquints", which she appeared in.

This is a great video! It's shot in black & white and all members of Kraftwerk are dressed in all black...including black leather gloves. It's brillantly shot. There are clips from old B&W films and shots of the camera panning around each member of Kraftwerk as they just sit there very still without moving. I believe the video was released in 1987.

I am only a teenager but in the early 90s I used to watch old music videos all the time and this one was my favorite. All of a sudden they stop showing it and then I forgot about the song. My dad made a mistake and downloaded it and memories flooded back. Please get this music video for all to be able to watch because it cannot be found anywhere else on the net.

Taylor Dayne walking about on a white background with red paint on her feet, leaving red footprints all over. And that hair! And those lips! Taylor Dayne was 'IT' back in the late 80's for me.

Love the song, and my sister is in the video! (Her mouth anyway)

Wonderful tune off the 1983 self-titled album has Banks, Collins and Rutherford living in the back alleys as street people. A simple but well done video that never over dramatizes or makes fun of those without a home.

I love Freddie Mercury and the reason I like this video so much is because it touches me every time I see it.It was the last video he ever made before his death.Even though he was seriously ill at the time his voice was on its highest and his passion and beauty as strong as ever.

Ann had the prettiest voice, and colorful video.

Before stand-up, before her TV shows, Tracey Ullman had a hit of sorts with this VERY 80s video. She's dolling up, she's at the grocery with a baby, she's in a car with...PAUL MCCARTNEY?!? Cheeseball and great all at the same time, and it's a cute tune.

Eddie is a singer who might be sometimes underrated, but his voice is extremely rich and sensual. I thought this little black and white video of Eddie as a vampire who sneaks up to the helpless girl while she is sleeping only to find the tables turn on him, was so fun to watch. The upbeat tempo is a nice contrast to the dark, gothic theme. Eddie rocked!

I love it because I enjoy the dancing, it is uplifting and most of all I love Donna Summers voice. The song gives one hope that you will find love and it will be the real thing.

Although "Cloudbursting" would be my pick for one of the 80s greatest videos, its already been discussed here so I'm aknowledging "THis Woman's Work" for its emotional power and camerawork with a one shot camera montage going throughout the film.

..[ ( this *VIDEO*..is X-tra kOol..and i am a fan ( i guess u can say ) of MICHAEL JACKSON!!...I L.O.V.E. him as =MUCH= as I L.O.V.E the 80's ..i L.O.V.E this VIDEO because of the dancing and EVERYTHING...HIM THE HOLE THING!! I L.O.V.E.IT!!!...BEST VIDEO..E..V..E..R..!!!..ALL HIS VIDEOS IN HTE 80s's ARE G..R..E..A..T..I LUV him..! :) ) ]

It's hard to find something new to say about this landmark video. It set a precedent for every video made in the 80s and beyond. Michael Jackson was a pioneer and innovator of showing us that videos were not just entertaining but a true art form. I was a baby when this video came out and was scared to death of it as a little child. The first time I watched as a older child, probably around 12, I was completely mesmerized by Jackson's singing, dancing and genius artistry. He is without a doubt, one of the most influential artists of modern popular music and the greatest entertainer that's ever lived.

such a wonderful song and such a fantastic nr one video this planet ever seen.great dance,new style and noone cannt bring it down from nr one.

I love this video. The first time I saw it, I was ten and it scared the living daylights out of me. It was such a cool video, and it kinda had a cliffhanger at the end (he turns around and has the yellow and black eyes. Still...I love the song and I love the video.

I totally digged this video where Michael Jackson is a werewolf and a ghoul on his night out with his girlfriend. Loved the scenes of the monsters dancing. This was actually my VERY FIRST MUSIC VIDEO because I was about 3 and it scared the sh** out of me. No one does it better than the King of Pop does plus his Queen. Even now in the new millennium.

I love this video because it has that spooky thing going on and I think Michael Jackson is a great performer.

I think because it was like, the first 'movie' mtv. Thanks for your great site here. I was born in '60, and was coming of age when all this started happening. I also share most, if not all your views here. In my opinion, MTV has gone down hill since the 80's. :( Nothing like memories. And hey!! Where did the time go? I blinked and 20 years just went by.... Thanks again for your time and effort on this excellent site. www.andrini2000.homestead.com/Andrini.html

One word - G.O.A.T. That means - Greatest of all time.

Do I really have to say the words? This video is just... awesome

it's the greatest video of all time excellent sond dance perfect video and michael jacksopn was very sexy in it.

I love this video because of the monsters make-up and Michael Jackson's dancing, this makes the video just too cool!

Because the beginning of the video is scary and horrified and the ending is when Michael had the green eyes and the dancing is silly and fun.

When I saw the video it scared the crap out of me! But the dancing was hot. All I've got to say is that the man is a genius musically...he is my icon. I give all my respect to him...he is the greatest entertainer of all time!!!!

It is so cool the way they had thier audience like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

This video is so wonderful. The plots seems to be that Cyndi is too wild for her boyfriend so she leaves in search of herself, or at least that's how it looked to me. Anyways, the end when she's singing to him on the train platform is a very moving scene. And then when she cries while the train pulls out... that makes me cry every time I see it.

well,cyndi has always been a great singer,but when she cried on the train in the video,that just showed that she was on great preformer as well.

I love this video because it is like a five minute movie. There is a plot unfolding and a whole turn of events happens with the song. The shot of Cyndi through the window of the train taking of in the station is classic. Very touching.

Second best music video of all time. Most beautiful song by Rush. The visuals: a cross between Simple Minds' All the Things She Said and Alive and Kicking, starring Rush as Simple Minds, featuring Alex Lifeson as Charlie Burchill. Directed, of course, by Zbigniew Rybczynski, who directed both of the Minds clips. One of several Zbig Rybczynski videos (along with Accept's Midnight Mover and Belfegore's All That I Wanted) guaranteed to induce vertigo.

Billy Idol is a MAJOR hornbag, especially in this video.....Steve Stevens is a tryhard BUT an absolute GUITAR GENIUS!! Love the SUBTLE "hip" (ha, ha) grinding movements...the constant fight for attention between Billy and Steve in the boxing ring is awesome but OF COURSE, Billy manages to outshine Steve ONCE AGAIN!! Love it.

I was attracted to the background of different light colors flashing with Rick's face in the middle and wanted to see it over and over. Also, loved his dancing.

VERY early video on MTV. Very poor quality video... band was out of Zion, Illinois. Just remember thinking, "Wow... a garage band on MTV...an unknown band!" They also had song "Too Late"

The band looked awsome. Great song. Cool 80s haircuts. Lots of synths. Limahls hair was so cool!!!

The lead singer's hair looks like a skunk... and the dance hall scene is to die for.... and what a name? Kajagoogoo.... is that the first thing their A&R man's kid said or something? how dumb... almost as dumb as Goo Goo Dolls...

This is an amazing song and the video just makes it better. The images compliment the lyrics and music. It is truely ahead of its time and does not get the recognition that it deserves.

Not really technically awe inspiring...but every time I hear the song, I always remember the people with glowing blue eyes ("Turn around bright eyes") and the hallway with the white drapes blowing around. I think it all took place at a boarding school or something. Weird school if you ask me.

Two of my favourite things are in this video: My favourite singer: Stan Bush and my favourite cartoon: The Transformers! What could be better than a video that is totally reminissent of your childhood and will never go out of style?

This was the first time I actually "saw" the Dead. It was great that they made their video in a "live " setting, like you were at a show. The fact that they turn into skeletons is pretty cool, and the dog taking off with a leg is great!

the first time i heard this song and the last, was when i was 12 yrs old when it was very popular. my grandpa was an old time cowboy and hated "the new wave of music" but he always let me search for this song on the radio. i've never been able to see the video but always wanted to. now my grandpa has passed and it would mean a lot to me if i could see the video. thank you , toni

Cos Martin Kemp is in it and he's lush!!!! (even in his forties!)

For me it was the introduction of the New Romantic sound. From that time on I'm a New Romantic fan!

a play on the old Marilyn Monroe films, in which Madonna dances around in a 50s type scene wearing capri-pants, like a 50s chic. Plus, the backdrop is blue, the obvious theme of the song. I heard that Madonna wrote this song because she had a crush on Sean Penn. Fascinating huh?

I love this fideo becuase it is the weirdest, trippiest, most spaced out video ever. It doesn't even make sense! Cyndi is just wandering around in this creepy dream word wearing high heels and a crazy-ass skirt. And it makes me laugh ever time I see it.

This music video is amazing!! Two guys slapping each other to the beat?! What more could you want?! Besides that, the music is sweet and makes me wanna get up and dance!

The two guys slapping each other's faces to the beat of the music killed me! Great song, too!

C'mon people, don't you remember this one! Great song, great video "...no sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you - no wonder it's dark...."

I love this song but I have never seen this video. My wife tells me this video is awesome. I downloaded the song but I need the video. I'm really craving to see it.

I loved the Eighties and its music and this video just plain rocked! It had a storyline/plot and the song and choreography was great!!

Lead singer Barry Hay is chased by the other band members dressed as secret agents. He's captured, brought to an abandoned warehouse, punched out, and then the dancing Nazi chicks in leather come out....

This video is so cool with the bad girls in leather with whips. This song rules!

The first time I heard the song and saw this video I thought it was totally catchy. I thought Stacey Q looked great and I guess I was hooked.

Just something addictive about the video,the video flows perfectly with 5 main parts (backstage,wedding dress,new wave,beach,glitzy)simply the best!

My personal pick for greatest 80s video of all time. Reagan and Gorbachev duking it out in a sumo-ring with various world figures and press agents betting and cheering on in the audience. Total chaos leads to the world blowing up. Very symbolic of the cold war mentality of th time.

the full version of this is awesome. sums up the cold war struggle of the early/mid 80s.

Talk about totally cheesy! This video was what MTV used to be all about...one goofy guy with cheeseburgers all around.

I love this video because it was Tina at her best! In the video we see Tina with the big hair and her flirtatious attitude accompanies the song so well. This song was so close to hitting #1, but was blocked by another great 80s tune, "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper. I just wish VH1 would play this fantastic music video!

One of my favorite Prince videos that's filled with energy with the clothes, set and Sheena Easton strutting, no pun intented, her stuff.

Looks to be one of his all-time best videos in that he parodies not one, but many artists in it, all intercut with clips from the masterpiece that is UHF.

Aside from this song being undeniably catchy, even after Vanilla Ice almost burned out the little riff, it is really a song set with serious tones for a growing 80's society. This song is just timeless. The video was very clever with black/white scenes of various horror flicks, buildings collapsing and basically showing the frailty of being human. David Bowie added such a classy touch to the vocals.

I dont recall this being played much on MTV or VH1, but it is an awsome video. You can almost feel the wintery atmosphere and the typical 80's graphics are excellent!

What a video...what a band..one of the best vids of the 80's and Duran's entire collection.

This band is one of the best rock bands ever and this video is simply great. There is a helicopter and other cool stuff on this video and it describes bands attitude very well and shows where the coolest guys come from. Well, they come from Finland. My native country.

Brilliant! To me this video epitomises the 80's! A great song, with a story to match the video. Two smiling, "what the hell are they in this video" breakdancers top off great clean fun. Always one to get my hyper!

Trademark beards, raw guitars and pretty girls are always a part of almost every ZZ Top video, this one is no exception. However, a nice drum beat is the backbone of this song. The trio of Gibbons, Hill and Beard put on their best dance moves here. Of course the shapely girls are the main feature amidst a backdrop of hieroglyphics. The Paula Abdul choreography rocks!

This one shows how much women are wanted by males.

Bananarama are the campest group that ever were!! An excellant excuse to dress up and be silly! Perfect cover, perfect video.

when I was in 1st and 2end grade I saw this video and I fall in love with it becasuse it mad me think of my on gradma and now that I am older and I have the song on cd I would like to have the music video but I have not ben able to find it any whare.

It was one the first videos ever on MTV, but if you see it again it will be 25 years ahead of its time.

me and my girlfriend heard this song on a very special night for the both of us

One of my favorites for sure. The woman in the space-age suit, Trevor Horn's glasses, the fakey explosion, the TV sets surfacing...AND OF COURSE THE MONSTER SYNTH IN THE BACKGROUND AT THE END OF THE VIDEO (Did y'all ever notice it?) Vintage 80's video...especially for being the 1st on MTV ever.

I remember how cool we all thought we were for liking this video. In retrospect, it's all just ersatz Fellini, really, but it's still pretty fun.

While All Duran videos stood above the crowd's this Godley & Cream classic mixed the footage from the Bond film with clever band interaction on the Eiffel Tower...You rarely see the great ending "Bon...Simon LeBon"

I absolutly love this video. It was for a James Bond movie, so that was cool. I mean what's better than 5 super gorgeous, hot, sexy, and to die for guys as secret agents. You will never see a better looking secret agent in your life! It's one of my all-time favorites. Plus, I love how Simon says "I'm Bon...Simon LeBon"!!!

HUGE Duran Duran fan, though not a James Bond fan. However this video is a lot of fun to watch and does have some loose kind of storyline (much like a 007 movie, eh?) and some explosions. I particulary like the clever ending: "Bon... Simon Le Bon".

It's such a great song! She brings the glamour of the '40s into the video. She looks absolutely devine! And everybody remembers the dance-moves from the video, don't they?

For a video that came out in 1981, it looked ahead of its time. It had outstanding production values and it really looked epic in scope. Oh, and a pretty top tune too.

all

It tells a story about a relationship gone bad. The girl finally stands up to her boyfriend at the end and starts singing out loud in the audience of an opera- great scene! She also had a signature look- the short platinum blond hair with one tiny braid in back- so 80s!!! The lead singer is Aimee Mann, who is super talented & now quite famous in her own right after composing most of the songs for the 1999 film , "Magnolia". She's married to Michael Penn now (he sang "No Myth" in 1989 and is Sean Penn's cousin).

A classic that is probably forgotten by many, Rachel Sweet's "Voo Doo" is an awesome video that showcases Rachel's talents. Great voice, great lyrics, and she was drop dead gorgeous at that time in her life (1982, very young. I wasn't even born yet!!!!). Special thanks to Monty from the VH1 Classic boards for getting this video back and playing. A totally awesome song with a totally awesome video. A must see for all Classic New Wave/Pop fans.

It's the greatest! You can watch it over and over and over again and it won't get annoying or old!! It's so upbeat it makes you just want to dance and be happy with them! I love it

because it's the greatest thing

This is one ballsy video and song. One of the obscure singles off of "Sweet Dreams", this is the highlight of their early video days. Annie dresses in drag as an executive buying up a prostitue (annie, again) and dave is her assistant. This reportedly forced annie to get called up by MTV to confirm her femininity. Still enjoyable because she thumbs her nose at the whole concept of beautiful women, and gives the video an ironic ending. A perfect take on genderbending!

I have always loved the Bangles, and thought that this was a cool video. I especially loved how they have all those people doing the "Egyptian" dance at the end of the video.

It is one of the coolest videos of the 80s

first off Aerosmith is my favorite band in existence. think about it, this was really the first video that mixed rap and rock (2 very different goneras at the time) and it was the only video that did it for quite some time. i just love how the video starts out with the two groups in rooms right next to one another. Then run dmc starts before aerosmith and Steven Tyler gets mad and breaks through the wall....awesome.

Cheesy, but in a good way.

I thought it was very cute. The lead singer, Steve Gray, had a crush on this beautiful girl. I think she was a model/actress named Kirstie or Krista. The group was performing at high school. Their outfits had 4 on them. I thought the guys were awesome, but they will be missed.

It is one of the best because it shows their frustration backstage and how they hold it all together on stage. the greatest metal band of the 80s.

I like this video clip because Jon Bon Jovi looks really hot in it and his hair is so stylish

This video is extremely creative, with it's real filming, showing of other videos, showing of singles and albums and even band pictures, it's real great! I don't think anyone else could make a video like it and get away with it rockin'!

Michael Jackson at the beginning is singing to this girl, the goes "Oooh!" Then him and his buddies are after these girls, vying for their affections. The whoel video is Jackson singing for this girl, with him and his friends following the group.

A lot of great dancing and great music. What more could one want?

A lot of great dancing and great music. What more could one want?

Because we got to see so many stars all together working for one purpose, not to make money for themselves but for poor people. :O)

It's very rare that we see & hear so many ultra-talented artists of different music genres, come together & sing, especially for a great cause like 'USA for Africa'!

Every time that I see this video, it just SCREAMS 80s to me. It's just so funny how Mickey and Grace are portrayed as these spokespeople for all the teens of the United States. I love the cheesiness of it, such as when Mickey is singing to the Lincoln statue in the Lincoln memorial and Lincoln himself suddenly stands up and sings "We built this city on rock and roooolll...". How hilarious is that?! One part of the video that's especially hilarious is when the crowd is running from the falling dice! That is just sooooo funny! Anyways, awesome video.

Awesome animation!

...in which Richard Drummie bounces numbers off his guitar, Peter Cox (in a dirty wifebeater) dances with a large wrench, and wooden golliwogs dance in stormtrooper fashion. It's just so...eighties, y'know?

A fun video that featured Debbie Gibson and a bunch of people having fun. It also featured her band & actual family members.

It goes through the years (50s to '89). A fire slowly sets in during the video, as the years go by. By the end, its a full-blown coflagaration. Then, it goes backwards. Best parts of the song: "Psycho" knife weilding and "JFK--Blown away, what else do I have to say?"

First album I ever bought. It was fun and catchy tune that never failed to put me a great mood. I listened to the song over and over till I wore the record out.

because its totally 80s and bring a lot of good memories

This is a good video. A teenage Twisted Sister Fan is playing along with their song I Wanna Rock when the boys dad comes in and yells and tells him to clean up the mess that the dad made. The dad asks " WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE?!" The teen boy responds " I WANNA ROCK" plays a chord on his guitar and sends the dad smashing throught the window. The teen then becomes lead singer Dee Snider and transforms the other kids in the house into members of Twisted Sister and tortures the dad...at the end the dad is laying on the ground and the mom (who kinda looks like michael jackson lol ) is just staring at him.

I LOVE this video because it shows how wild Axl and all the guys can be and everything. And plus all the ORIGINAL GN'R guys look HOT in this video!!! (Dude, Axl, why'd you let 'em go?)

The most fun I've had watching an 80's clip! Axl and the gang are so full of energy (and quite the lookers too)! 10/10!! I like the beginning, how axl gets off the bus and looks at the TV's. (If you look closely, Slash is lying under the TV's with his trusty bottle of booze... hehe).

This Video Kicks And Rocks,they Rocked,axl Rose Is Good-looking With A Bad Boy Image,slash Hair May Be Poofy But Great Guiterist Man! Women Are In This Vid,perfect 80's Heavy-metal Vid.

mtv played this video all the time,but this video was brilliant,it shows great views of london,and specail effects,and their first no.1,it's absoloutely 80's.a catchy tune and synth-pop new wave sound,great lyrics.

because i believe it is the best

Great Song And Video This Group Only Hit From Australia

this is an answer to a post already posted on the front page...the 4th song down the post is as follows: "" by I am trying to remember the video of an 80s girl band in which the lead singer has a one-night stand with a guy and sees him like a year later and he "looks into his own eyes" at her baby. Please help me its driving me crazy--I'm thinking it must have been 1989-90 Review by: Sue

Are you kidding? What I Like Is the greatest song of the 80s and the guys rock out in their black leather with incrtedible energy. Great song, great video. I don't know why it wasn't aired more.

fantastic video. The way that everything howard does, happens to others was faantastic. All howard jones videos were wonderful

I like the video and the group. If you don't know the concept about it, let me briefly tell you. The video opens up at a nearby studio, where Expose's band starts to practice. Meanwhile, the ladies, Jeanette, Ann and Gioia were at Jeanette's house with their guys, getting ready to watch a baseball game on TV. When Jeanette looks at the clock, it reads 3:04 PM or something, and the females sneak out to get to the studio, leaving the guys alone. After they changed clothes and sang and danced, the girls returned to their guys. However Ann nearly blew their cover by not taking off her earring when they changed back to the normal ladies. While the other ladies were embarresed, Ann winked and smiled at the viewer(s), ending the funny video. One of three brilliant Expose' videos.

Another great INXS video. "What You Need" features great animation and imagery that goes into the song.

I was a HUGE fan of these guys when I was in college back in the early 80s. This one, along with "She Sheila" and "What She Does To Me" were college radio staples back then. Any list of obscure 80s music MUST include these songs.

Tina Turner's "What's Love Got To Do With It" has probably got to be one of the best 80s pop songs. The video displayed Tina in her prime and who could forget those legs! This song definitely reintroduced her back into the music industry which made her the biggest comeback in the 80s. Also this song went to #1 and won a Grammy for Record of the Year! She is SIMPLY THE BEST!

This video came hot on the heels of "When the Bullet Hits The Bone". It did not have the same visual effects but was full of the dark imagery of a person going insane. Very underrated.

I think the idea of the video is AWESOME!!!

A visually stunning video. At the end they make it look as if Prince is dancing around with a wider behind than normal. It's by far one of my favourite Prince tunes and the song is catchy.

I heard the song for the first time when i was 7 years old.And when i heard it it gave me a warm feeling inside.And i searched for that song for 14 years and now that i'm 20 years old i finally found it.But now i want to see the video again but i couldn't find it anywhere.Could you help me?Write back please if you now something?

It's just amazing...the song is great talk about the mos important thing in life...Love.

Today there is a sociological influence that stigmatizes anything is not in our own best intrest. This video should remind all nations that there is more to life than selfish desires. there is much to learn from countries labled as low-tech. This song highlights the compassion of the 80s. I rate this video three thumbs up.

Song from a movie... video features Danny Devito playing a sax almost as big as he is.

I remember hearing the intro and watching the band standing on a guitar-shaped stage. It only figures that Steve Howe(YES) and Steve Hackett(GENESIS) were among the best guitar players from the 70's!

A Dutch, and therefor maybe a bit unknown band, but along with "Vienna" by Ultravox this video was one of the first clips that told a story instead of just showing the singers -um- singing. And what a smiling lady....

I have always thought this was one of the classic 80's dance groups. The dark haired lead singer, Jazz, was particularly sexy and sultry and her voice was excellent. She had an electric stage presence.

First, I love the Beatles. Any solo albums from John, Paul, George and Ringo are tops in my book. That said, this video was very captivating for its unique use of special effects and imagery. George Harrison released this song on his 1987 solo album "Cloud Nine." Rounding out my "TOP 3" favorite '80's videos are: #2. "Once In a Lifetime" (The Talking Heads) and #3. "Land of Confusion" (Genesis). Who can forget Ronald Reagan as a Krofft puppet? It's truely an '80's video classic.

This is the most unbelievably funniest video I have ever seen in my life. The song is not meant to be funny but the producer of the has basically taken the p*ss out of the song. An absolute classic - I miss not having seen this video! **If anyone knows where I can buy the video to this song I will give my leftie to you!!***

It's a cool video. I did not expect Joe to look scraggly like he did.

This was U2's coolest video ever. As a tribute to the Beatles's concert on the roof of their record company, U2 leaks it to a radio station that they're playing live on a liquor store rooftop in downtown LA. Even after the city's most heavily armed thugs (a.k.a. the LAPD, pre-Rodney King) show up to end the shoot, U2 does the most rock n'roll thing possible: They keep right on playing!

Steriod popping zombies jumping around singing and twirling batons. Only in the 80s.

5 bandmembers of identical height and shoesize wearing skintight black teeshirts, shorts and red flowerpot hats, whipping a restrained girl's clothes off while a cream-whipping housewife looks on. Need I say more?

This was one of the first videos on MTV to get a lot of airplay.There were days that they would plays 6 to seven times. I can remember just dropping whatever I was doing to watch it. It's a very dark video that butchers Victorian principles of "Be a virgin till your'e married" shtick. A very grim reminder that we are all capable of falling victim to our most base wants and needs and must suffer the consequences in the end. One noteworthy thing about this video is that when Martha Quinn would put it on, she was always wearing those dorky helicopter earrings! Yay Martha!!!

It is sooo reflective of the paranoia and isolation you sometimes see in society. Not exactly a light subject, but the video was humorous. Your website is great. I sorely miss the days when MTV actually played music videos the majority of the time. Even VH1 has gotten bad. I will always remember The 80s as the best years of my life.

I loved this video because it is the theme song from my favorite movie, MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE and I am a huge AC/DC fan. Ever since I first saw MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE in 1997, there was something about that song that sounded awesome. But the video, WOW! Having Angus Young clones was such a cool idea on the bands part. Those weird robots were cool and erie looking. AC/DC sounded awesome and you could hear all the instruments very clearly, especilly Simon Wright. AC/DC has been my favorite band since 1997, and I DEFINETLY INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY!

what's better than seeing The Cure dressed up like they're trick-or-treating and line dancing?! and was that a gorilla suit Robert Smith was wearing? i laugh every time i see the video; it's my favorite one of their's. The Cure just don't get enough recognition.

Back in the early 90's, when I came to the realization that MTV wasn't worth a c*** anymore, this was the first video that I started searching for because out of all the eighties videos, this one left the biggest impression in my memory. I actually found a copy of it along the way but a friend of mine told me you can catch it on VH1 classic every now and then. It was a great song, and a really cool video especially with the floating astronaut exploding at the end. It got heavy play on MTV, back when they actually played music video's, and were determined to promote new music such as Planet P. Tony Carey was the mastermind behind the "Planet P Project" and he also did a follow up album called "Pink World". His solo videos were pretty good also, especially "Fine Fine Day".

It's been years since I've seen it. I just remember the space-suit helmet exploding and the blonde lady driving the car, looking in the back seat. Each time she looked there would be something different; a couple of kids, skeleton, the guy in the space suit, and at the end of the video smoke rolled out of the back seat of the car when the space man disappeared. Anyone remember that one?

This was one of the best of the early MTV videos. The first time I saw it, I was not impressed, but the song simply grew on me. Tony Carey had a great voice, and the guitar parts were great! This band was similar to Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons project. I recently ordered the album "Planet P Project" and the reviews are correct...the album is really good.

Of all the videos I saw throughout the 80s, this one has really stuck in my memory. The song was great and the video left imagery that haunts me to this day.

It was either late 80's or early 90's, but their is something about that black & white video where chris & that model are making out on the beach that I always loved!

the 80's were a glorious decade,also the sexist,had the sexcist artists like duran duran,this video was wieard,but that what made them populer it's itellegent,creative,colourful,the 90's couldn't manage videos like that,the 80's rocked.

I love this video!!! It is kinda creepy but so awesome! Simon Lebon is so sexy when he is on the windmill!!! It was the most expensive video when it first came out!

I think DD used to be a sexyest band on Earth! (Of course, they still are ;)) And I love that video! Hey, do you remember that "monster" in the water. The one who had a "rough" battle with Simon? That was EXTREMELY funny!

Shows Motley at its best...and I love it when Nikki Sixx smiles at the camera ;) so cute!

It's actually from the movie "True Stories"...and it's a funny music video. All these people are lip synching to it, and David Byrne cracks me up. It'so funny...anything David Byrne cracks me up.

Still Loving You was a damn good ballad and when Scorpions came out with Winds Of Change they out did theirselves. If i remember right it was a live concert version and it was awesome (acckk a 80s word) I am getting too old :)

I saw this video on VH1 Classic a while back and I thought it was pretty high tech looking for 1983 with themes of space, computers, and the future, plus the song itself is has a great melody. The original version was about five minutes long but they also recorded an extended version which was almost ten minutes long. A Flock Of Seagulls don't get much credibility because of the strange hairstyle lead singer Mike Score had, anyway great band one of the more overlooked bands of the new wave genre.

Taylor Dayne looked hot in the video. Sort of like an older/mature version of Debbie Gibson with big hair, a leather jacket, and tight pants. I recently found her video collection at a thrift shop and loved most of the videos, including this one. It featured Taylor dancing in an apartment wearing a sexy dress and another scene with a tank top & tight fitting pants. Music videos aren't the way they used to be.

The song is haunting and reminds me of the summer of 1987 - a very important year in my life.

This is a timeless U2 video with Bono at his best. It shows U2 in concert and shows the mystery and romance behind the song.

I loved this whole video especially Dale Bozzio's barely there outfits. She looked like another space aged Barbarella.

Actually, I love all of Triumph's late 70s/early 80s videos, but this song is cool and the video had cheesy 80s "special" effects. The band flying on top of the triangular platform is 80s cheese at it's BEST! Damn, I miss the 80s!!

It starts off with Dave complaining about Annie being late for the shows they're supposed to be doing. Anyway, it then cuts to Annie's so-called boyfriend dropping her off backstage on his motorbike. Annie gets to show off her very good acting skills in this video.

twilight zone revisited

I was 10 when I saw it for my 1st time. In recent years I found out that the weird suit Nik Kershaw was wearing was the one of Marlon Brando on the Superman Movie. The video was produced by the MTV

I like it because it was a video from the Police was played a lot on MTV back in its early days. The Police was probably the most popular MTV band in those days and this was probably their most popular video at the time. Even though it is a bunch of candles and the lead singer dressed in white and perhaps not that technically amazing, one should not forget its popularity with viewers back in those days. Or anything else from the Police. They were popular.

I don't even remember what this video WAS, all I know is they played it a bit during the early years!

An obscure old school hip hop clip I recently saw/taped on MTV 2 from 1989 that feature the all female rap trio dancing with flourescent skirts and tank tops. It's like a blend of "Parents Just Don't Understand" (The Fresh Prince & DJ Jazzy Jeff)with the props and "Push It" (Salt N' Pepa)with the late '80's dance moves. The video was off the hook!!!

Pat benatar is great singer and is real sexy and Neil is a great guitar player, and the hole band is great pat makes the video seem real

i think this video is so 80s,i love this period especaily 1988,i think its the time where the best hits and best music was sang. i think that kim wilde is the best icon of the 80s,for all her achievemnts and success all over the world,from 'kids in america'to"love blonde"to 'you keep me hanging on"and ended her gold 80s period with 'cant get enough of your love' so kim wilde comes after madonna for her success back in the 80s

i adore kim wilde since 1988 when i heard you came first time,this song reminds me of 80s greatest hits,all kim wilde songs do,"you came"the clip was wonderful,it fits the song alot.and its my favort song of the 80s.

This song was too funny, and the video only made it better! Paul Simon and Chevy Chase walk into a white room and sit down. Chevy begins lip-synching to Simon's singing, which in itself is funny, because Chase makes great facial expressions. Simon sits there with a depressed look on his face. The two begin playing instruments (Simon on the pennywhistle, Chase on the bongo drums and trumpet), and perform a step-cross-step-cross dance move as they play the instruments. My brother and his friends used to imitate this video in Spanish class about 5 years ago, and the teacher told them to sit down. I've seen this video many times since 1986, and it gets better with age!

I grew up with my father playing the album Graceland. On car rides, during dinner. My dad said if I can find the video of this song with Chevy Chase, that would be a great Christmas gift. That is why I love this video.

Actually, I was curious as to if you know where I can find this video with Chevy Chase singing the song... If you have any information, please email me at dvarenhorst@sbcglobal.net Whether it be the physical video or a download video... I'd just love to see Chevy Chase lip singing again... it was my favorite back in the 80's... :) Thank you for your help!

The moon walk performed in the video clip is astounding and the song is so cool!

I love this video because it depicts that both Bon Jovi and the 80's were all about the 3 H's: Hair, Hard rock, and Having a good time!!

i can relate to it!!

I love the beginning when they pull up in that neat futuristic apocalyptic car like mad max. Starts off like a cool movie or an episode from the hitchhiker the old HBO series. And then when he pushes the button on the radio the synthesizer music from the song starts and sends you off into the strange world they are exploring or re-discovering. And of course they uncover cool 80's video arcade games! Hey I've got around 8 or more 2hr video tapes I made back then of compilations from mtv. The quality ranges from poor to good. I'm almost considering getting rid of them. What do you think I should do with them?

This was just an awesome concept video that reminded me of my favorite movie at the time "Road Warrior." Tom & the band are driving through a wasteland when the find this tent filled with video games, tv's and all kinds of stuff. Some of the screens show the band playing the song live. It just really seemed to create a mood and atmosphere that intrigued me.

The song itself is kinda cheesy, but the video moves with a fast paced beat and Kim Wilde shines in this one =)

It's got a rapid fire beat. Unfortunately I don't remember the video now, just that rockin' tune! Love dat man!

It was the best of 80's

Singing on a keyboard, a man and a woman giving a gift (or a Hallmark Card).

This video seems to sum up the "seventies runaway" attitude dragged into the 80's. Plus being shot on film makes it that much more enjoyable. I was totally in love with the girl in the video as well.

How do I get a copy of this music video? Please let me know...

Very simplistic, one band surrounded by paintings.

This music video is powerful and meaningful. I think the love story in it is sweet and also very sad. I love it because not only is it an awesome song, but the video makes me cry every time I see it. It has great poetic significance.

I haven't seen the video and that's why I'm asking you to include it.I lov ethis song because Iron Maiden is one of my favorite songs is "2 minutes to midnight"and I love it!

I loved this family video including Michael, Janet, Jermaine, Randy, Rebbie and all the others. I still love it. I was about 3 yrs when I watched it for the first time, but I started liking it 'cause it's hard to put the whole family into a clip. Amazing!

Just gotta love it!

I love this song.. both German and English! This is one of the best songs ever and the music video was cool. I watch it almost eveday!

I love this song so much & I like the German version better than the english one. I would do anything for it. But I have 99 luft & redballonns. does anyone know where I can find the music video of the song? ~Myles

It seems like just yesterday I set up my VCR to capture this video! I like the German version not the English one... Nena was (and still is) so sexy! This song and video it what the 80's look was all about!

Cool eighties song with euro flair. Cheesie as hell, that's why I love it.

Very typical of the late 1980s.

they all look handsome on that video, even andy

I loved this song and the group.
