Friday OT #3 - Video Killed The Radio Star

[Angie]

Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More"
Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer"
Aha's "Take On Me"
GNR's "Welcome to the Jungle"
U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name"

He played that this week, and it was awesome - he didn't don the top hat, but they did the trippy black-and-white thing in the background. I had forgotten how nuts that video was.

There's no way someone can unsee Alice in Wonderland as a cake while other people are cutting pieces out of her and eating them.

That's a pretty good one.

Angie - Your thread title made me think of this for a future Friday thread:

Which artist's music do you like but can't stand watching them perform?

I will save my number 1 pick for when you actually post this thread.

How about artists you like to watch perform but can't stand listening to? I'll start with Katy Perry.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Tool "sober"
Metallica" Entersandman"
Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time"

 

[SCyclone]

"The Reflex" - Duran Duran
"Pour Some Sugar On Me" - Def Leppard
"Tell It To My Heart - Taylor Dayne
"Take On Me" - A-ha
"Black Hole Sun" - Soundgarden (actually didn't even see Angie mention above - great minds?)
"Cherry Pie" - Warrant

I saw a program the other day on Warrant - those guys flippin' hate that song. But the video was unforgettable, for sure......

 

[cyfanatic13]

Stacy's Mom
Thong Song

 

[SCyclone]

And thinking of Tom Petty reminded me of.......

 

[IcSyU]

"Until It Sleeps" - Metallica. The video scared the **** out of me when I was young.

 

[Farnsworth]

How about artists you like to watch perform but can't stand listening to? I'll start with Katy Perry.

Speaking of Katy Perry, I think of the video for "I kissed a girl" whenever I hear it (which is infrequent).

 

[Farnsworth]

 

[coolerifyoudid]

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" - Cyndi Lauper with Captain Lou Albano as her dad

"We're not Gonna Take It" - Twisted Sister

 

[keepngoal]

Thriller, absolutely. MTV would show it at a specific time, as if it where a scheduled show.

Next is Rock of Ages by Def Leapord.

 

[EnhancedFujita]

Can't believe this hasn't been mentioned. Beastie Boys Sabotage

 

[drlove]

 

[Farnsworth]

Prodigy - Smack My ***** Up

 

[lakeliving]

Mickey- Toni Basil

 

[BuffettClone]

Tom Petty "Runnin' Down a Dream" and "Mary Jane's Last Dance"
Dire Straits "Money for Nothing"

I remember when MTV would debut new videos/singles from mega-artists with a 'world premier,' then show it every hour on the hour for 24 hours. Madonna's "Vogue" was one of those videos. I always thought it was filmed so well - a classy look in black and white.



Then there's the Medusa (Julie Brown) parody with "Vague/Party In My Pants"...
