Helloween

This is probably the dumbest video I've ever made: I took the theme song to the film Halloween and put it over scenes of Lionel Richie stalking that blind girl in the video for his song Hello. I didn't have anything to do with John Carpenter's film, his theme song, or Lionel's lovely song, but I like both and just thought this would be funny.

80s Music Video of the Week: Somebody's Watching Me

Just awesome:

80s Music Video of the Week: Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)

Here's the Pet Shop Boys with the best job offer ever:

80s Music Video(s) of the Week: Der Kommissar

Here are two versions of the same song. Der Kommissar was originally recorded by Austrian artist Falco, but most Americans are probably more familiar with the translated version by After the Fire. It's funny how one is in German while the other is in English, but both are equally incomprehensible. So which is the superior version? Perhaps no man can say.

80s Music Video of the Week: In the Air Tonight (Miami Vice Version)

Here are two of the best things ever: Miami Vice and Phil Collins. They go together like bread and butter. Here's maybe the coolest song of the 80s in one of the best scenes from the best show of the 80s:

(Faux) 80s Music Video of the Week: Ready For Primetime

I received this email tonight from a gentleman who calls himself Rex Thunder:

Hi Donald,

I thought you might consider posting our new Glory Fist music video "Ready for Primetime."  We worked hard to capture the spirit of 80s inpso-rock and I was thinking it might make a nice tongue-in-cheek 80s video of the week!

Let me know what you think!

Peace,
Rex

To be honest, I'll post or plug anything anybody sends me, since I'm just so excited to know that somebody accidentally stumbled upon my site, but I am more than happy to post this video, since it's pretty hilarious. I enjoyed it, and I think you will too.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Glory Fist:

80s Music Video of the Week: Lullaby

The Cure was one of the more overrated bands of the 80s, in my opinion, but when they were good, well... they were very, very good. This song is phenomenal:

80s Music Video of the Week: Loverboy

No, not the band Loverboy, but the song by Billy Ocean. This isn't my favorite Billy Ocean song, but this video is so epic in its weirdness that it has to be seen to be believed. Also, it's a pretty cool song too. Billy Ocean is the man:

80s Music Video of the Week: Cry

Still a great song and a great video. Here's Cry by Godley and Creme:

80s Music Video of the Week: Forever Young

Only two words can describe this song: Bad Ass.

80s Music Video of the Week: Hello

Hello by Lionel Richie is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's poignant and moving and can be appreciated by anybody who's ever been in love with somebody who didn't love them back. So how did they screw it up so bad by pairing it with one of the weirdest and creepiest videos of all time?

Still... great song:

80s Music Video of the Week: Hungry Eyes

Maybe this will actually be a weekly thing. Anyway... I just wanted to listen to this song again:
