Friday OT #3 - Video Killed The Radio Star

[Farnsworth]

edit: Prob one of my favorite song/video combos.

 

[alarson]

Queen- Bicycle race.

Probably not allowed to link the video on here.

 

[GoCubsGo]

TLC - Waterfalls.

 

[KnappShack]

Billy Squire -Rock Me Tonight

Billy was known as a rocker. This video killed his career




Sorry if already posted. That Wal Mart screen hijack is killing me today

 

[cydsho]

I love Hall and Oates so here you go:

Reminded me of the Don't Say You Love me video. Just full of scantily clad women getting doused with water.

Maybe the most memorable hairdo in a video, ever.

 

[madguy30]

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"

Always. Used to creep me out.

Funny, the song may remind me of the video, but I've forgotten how odd some music videos are.




And someone go take a look at All 4 One's version of 'I Swear' and tell me they're not stalking/harassing that girl.

I was legitimately going to mention this one!

Little know fact - Exactly one half of Linda Perry's body is her mouth

TLC - Waterfalls.

22 years later, I still get upset if they don't play the 'rapping' version.

 

[EnhancedFujita]

Man this thread brings back lots of MTV memories. This one was a classic.

 

[WooBadger18]

Queen: I want to break free
Cro: Traum
Stromae: ta fête (or honestly a lot of his songs)

 

[jbindm]

Mariah Carey - Honey. So much 90's stuff happening here. Peak Mariah, Puff Daddy, Mase, Eddie Griffin, the guys from Jerky Boys, an elaborate (for a music video) escape plot to go along with the song...the quintessential big budget video that just doesn't get made anymore.

Thanks to @Farnsworth for this one! I think it'll be popular:

What songs, when you hear them, immediately make you think of the video?

My immediate, gut reaction is "Thriller," as I think a lot of people's will be. But another one for me is "Black Hole Sun" with the creepy melting faces and surreal coloring.

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel

 

[Buster28]

As mentioned before, Taylor Dayne's "Tell It To My Heart." I just wanted to post the video again. Loved all her videos, but the first was the best (aside from those hair "extensions"). Oh 1988, you never fail to make me laugh for a number of reasons - the music, the fashion, the hair, the fashion. The fashion.

"Whip it"- by Devo Best headgear ever!!

 

[cyclones500]

I love Hall and Oates so here you go:

John Oates: One of the Top 10 Mustaches in 20th century pop-music.

Freddie Mercury is also on the list.
