OK...you get to star in a 1980's era music video - which would it be?

[Taverner]

For me? I wanna be the teacher in "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister

[Phillycat]

1. OMG, "Freedom" by George Michael

Mouthing along with all the supermodels. :) Although that might have been the 90's...

[_testify_]

2. Anything that Madonna grinded on.

[grannylib]

3. Anything by Crowded House, just to meet Neil Finn...my favorite singer/

songwriter ever.

[Taverner]

4. Too bad he passed away :(

He was a great singer

[ceile]

5. It was Paul Hester

the drummer, not Finn.

[grannylib]

8. You SCARED me! Yes, it was Hester, the drummer...Neil is still alive and

well, just appeared with his brother Tim in concert up in Minneapolis a while back.

[Iniquitous Bunny]

22. I wish "Into Temptation" was made into a video.

I'd want to be the woman in the blue dress. :D

[grannylib]

27. That is one of my favorite songs...but you'd have to stand in line behind

me!! :-)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. Only the eightiest eighties video from the eighties.

[ceile]

7. hmm....definitely a Duran Duran video

"Rio" was beautiful but "Wild Boys" was action packed. ;)

[Mad_Dem_X]

14. Duran Duran definitely

"Rio" or "Save a Prayer."

[NewWaveChick1981]

9. "Eyes of a Stranger" by Payola$

or "Pretty in Pink" by the Psychedelic Furs (original version). :)

[fudge stripe cookays]

30. Only you,

my partner in 80s music obscuria, would pick a Payola$ song.

You goddess, you.
:D

[NewWaveChick1981]

31. Why, thank you!

:loveya: I love obscure early 80s... And I love the Payola$... :* :hi:

[catmandu57]

10. You got lucky

I liked the Tom Petty vid.

[Nickster]

11. Ohhh, that's an excellent question......

I'd have to say I want to be Billy Squier in "Rock Me Tonite". I'd show him how to really dance it up in that video. Heck, they say that was the worst video ever. With me in it, he would have been a superstar. A superstar I tell ya!

[WoodyTobiasJr]

15. They say that video is what killed his career

[Tyrone Slothrop]

12. I would have to pick "Land of Confusion"

Just so I could see what the Spitting Image version of me looked like.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

19. However, since everyone else is going with "sexy" videos

I'd probably have to pick "Rock the Cradle" by Billy Idol.

I remember that video as being very...informative through my burgeoning puberty.

[underpants]

13. "Justice and Independence"

I have no idea who she was but there is blonde woman in a slip dancing amongst clothes on a line that frankly made Tawny Kitaen dancing on cars look ugly.

Oh that or Divinyls "I touch myself" I think everyone did.

[underpants]

17. VIDEO-"I touch myself"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knprO0WXo8k

[WoodyTobiasJr]

16. Either Girls on Film by Duran Duran or Rock You by Helix

Woohoo! Nekkid ladies!

[Spider Jerusalem]

18. Tears For Fears, 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'...

because I really wouldn't mind driving an Austin-Healey 3000 along a California desert highway.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. "Anything Anything" by Dramarama...

I want to be the guy taunting the singer for looking like a complete tool. (Good song, though.)

[Strawman]

21. Dio, The Last in Line

As the kid with the fro who goes to hell in the elevator or the nerdy kid who gets electrocuted playing video games after "YOU LOSE" appears on the screen.

Or robbing banks with Flying V guitars instead of guns alongside Judas Priest in the Breaking the Law video would be fun

[NewWaveChick1981]

23. I wanna star in more than one! Can I?

How about "I Know What Boys Like" by the Waitresses.... :evilgrin:

[Joe Fields]

24. I want to play the part of a candle in Sting's (Police) "Every Breath

You Take" video. That room was sooooo cool.

[Ekirh]

25. Burning Down the House. . .

I don't know what I have to be doing. . I just like to have my face randomly appear for a few seconds.

[Rambis]

26. Girls on Film

Duran Duran

[Benfea]

28. Anything by Skinny Puppy.

Yes, I need professional help. Why do you ask?

[idgiehkt]

29. Church of the Poison Mind -- Culture Club

I just love, love, love that song and everything they were trying to say with it. I'd like to be the woman wailing out the chorus in the background!

[MsKandice01]

32. Love is a Battlefield - Pat Benatar

I still think I remember all the dance moves.

WE ARE STRONG!!!

[querelle]

33. The Reflex!

My fave video from the 80's. Used to love Duran Duran back in the day.
