Blast from the Past

[Flash]

Love the 80s? Check it out. I love this place ... first one I loaded up was Balls to the Wall.

Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain

 

[DyePack]

"Separate Ways" and "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson -- the two worst videos ever made.

 

[Bob Cook]

However, Bertie Higgins' "Key Largo" is the worst SONG ever made.

I've killed men who are bigger than you and have dared to say this.

 

[DyePack]

Speaking of big, I see that "Fat" by Weird Al is one of the choices.

 

[The Big Ragu]

That is awesome. Ah. What memories.

And I was happy to see that Billy Squier's Rock Me Tonight was on the page (in homage to BYH).

I can never tire of watching a formerly straightforward rock and roll guy go off the deep end and perform in a video where he dances around in a sleeveless pink T shirt like Richard Simmons on speed. I am typically not good at recognizing seminal moments when they occur, but I do believe that the first time my friends and I saw that video (after we stopped rolling on the floor laughing), we declared his career dead.

 

[The Big Ragu]

Little trivia note, too... White Lines by Grandmaster Flash (also on the page) was supposed to be a "don't do drugs" warning. But I have read more than once that while they were recording it, Melle Mel snorted enough lines to make Scarface blush.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not clicking on a link called "King of Beaver" while at work.

At home is a whole other story

 

[Dyno]

"Separate Ways" and "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson -- the two worst videos ever made.

Damn you, Dye Pack. Whenever someone mentions the horrific "Heartbeat," I get it stuck in my head.

 

[Overrated]

I'm lookin' for a HEARTBEAT.

 

[Flash]

I'm kinda disappointed the only Crue video is Girls, Girls, Girls ... I wanted to see Looks That Kill. That karate kick Tommy Lee delivers at the end of it is STELLAR!

 

[Evil Bastard (aka Chris_L)]

 

[DyePack]

Just got done watching "Fat." The audio and video weren't quite in sync, and making fun of Michael Jackson just doesn't have the same magic it once did. But still a damn fine parody video.

Somehow I had forgotten about the shoulder roll in the middle and the round-off cartwheel at the end.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

I thought this was about that horrible Alicia Silverstone movie. ;D

total threadjack here, but I went to see Click the other day, and Christopher Walken plays almost the exact same character: Mad genius holed away in a bunker where very strange stuff happens. The dynamic is different, but it's impossible to miss the similarities.

Saw this link on CollegeHumor.com (shaddup). Brings back some memories, but geez, there are so many videos that are missing!

They have a star, and the video is like, the worst or most obscure song they produced!

I have gone back several times, though, for old-time favs "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," "Video Killed the Radio Star," "Sledgehammer" and "What About Me"

Where's Pink Floyd's "The Final Cut," Plant P's "Why Me?," Madness' "Our House," The Go-Go's "Our Lips Are Sealed," Berlin's "The Metro" and Bryan Adams' "Cuts Like A Knife"?

The latter two have two of the hottest women in video (Terri Nunn of Berlin and the chick in the Brian Adams video).

Nag, nag, nag. I'd post a Clint Eastwood pic, but I don't feel like hunting it down.

Thanks for pointing out "What About Me," though.

No love for husband-beating Whitesnake-era Tawny Kitaen? ;D

Or a smokin' hot Helena Christensen in Wicked Game?

 

[HandsomeHarley]

Props to the Wicked Game chick. She almost doesn't look real she's so hot.

Don't recall the Whitesnake video, but the girl in "Cuts Like A Knife" might be the hottest girl I've ever seen on screen.

Everyone talks about what a great video a-ha had for Take on Me, but Don't Answer Me by the Alan Parsons Project may be the most unique video done in the 80's. Great stuff.
