Favourite (cheeziest?) 80s videos

[Breetai]

I'm loving the video for "Celebration" by X-Japan. I'd be shocked if anyone here has seen this video before, but it really is the epitome of a cheesy 80s music video. Check it out:

As runners-up, I think "Fallen Angel" by Poison is a great example. Still... Twisted Sister's video for ""We're Not Gonna Take It" is absolutely perfect.


"WHAT'DO YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE???"
"I wanna rock"


Perfect!

My link didn't work due to this site... being not good.
Tragic's link doesn't work either.

 

[MilitantSheep]

I Want to Break Free by Queen. Every single time.

 

[Tragic Paradox]

Tragic's link doesn't work either.

yea, thats weird. it says the video is no longer available, but it is if you go to youtube and manually find it. I'd post a direct link to it but that will just embed the video here. oh well.

Some YouTube videos forbid embedding and CF forces embedding. This is what happens when they collide.
Anyway, you don't have to manually search for the video, just click around, but not on, the big play arrow in the middle of the video to bring up the YouTube page.
Alternately, you can click "menu" in the bottom right corner and copy-paste the URL into your browser.

Ok favorite 80's video...

What made the 80's have some of the cheesiest videos also made it have some of the greatest; they generally didn't take things too dang seriously (I'm looking at you 00's).

"Say, Say, Say" -Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney ( I honestly feel sorry for anyone who knows Michael only as "Wacko Jacko"and not the King of Pop.)

....Mid 80's...
"Obession" -Animotion

...and Early 80's.
"Words" -Missing Persons

Herbie Hancock's "Rockit" video used to creep me out something terrible... still does.
