Favorite 80's Video

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Favorite 80's Video (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 9/20/2005 10:09:01 AM EDT

The 80's movie thread got me thinking. There are no real music videos anymore. Gangsta thugs drinkin FO Tee's and bumpin ho's isn't original or appealing. MTV and VH1 no longer show videos.

What are some of your favorites from the 80's? The Twisted Sister Vid's always got me laughing! "What are you gonna do with your life??"

I love that song, but 'the sun always shines on TV' is better, IMHO.
Favorite video?

the Whitesnake video where Tawny Kitean's tit pops out of the green dress she's wearing...where's she's leaning out of the passenger window in the tunnel.

I had to tape it to prove it was there...then they edited the video. Unfortunately, I've subsequently lost the video....but I've got my memories. (well, for a little while longer anyways

)
