WOW! I love Duran Duran and this video popularized them. "Hungry Like the Wolf" was #11 on the turn of the century MTV "100 Greatest Videos Ever Made" List and #31 on the "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos". MTV also named it the fifteenth of their most-played videos of all time. JT's bare chest and Simon's running around was HEAVEN!

This song brings back so many memories. We used to have it as an inspirational "Fight" song back in High School. It stats out with the guy washing his head in the water, and walking inside the factory. Then you seen the factory manager who is depicted as the evil dictator. The video and lyrics then go in to describing some stories from the bible, in much cooler terms. The scenes and lyrics just make you glued to the set. The final lyrics and scene "the rains gonna fall on you" you see the boss being hung, and "getting his" This is also a good song to listen to with the special time with your spouse, or when cruising down the highway with the top down.

An amazing and unique approach to making a video. The song itself is majestic and soaring. The video takes a simple premise and makes it work. The female gymnist jumping over the televisions worked so well....especially when each band member is shown on seperate tv's. A unique idea that is really cool to see. The 70's band 10cc (Kevin Godley and Lol Cream) were the brainstorm behind this video, in addition to Asia's other video from their 1982 debut album: Heat of the Moment. Very cool, very visual, and most of all very 80's!!!!!

I was surpsised nobody mentioned this. Anyway,I liked it a lot when I first saw it (still like it and watch it from time to time), I mean it may not be that great a video but it has a nice cheerful tune, nice little funny story (Robin Williams gives a nice funny note here)...I thought it was worth mentioning. I personally like it because it reminds me not to take life too seriously (as I have already learned), and also as a musician I'm fascinated by the fact that everything you can hear in that video musicwise comes straight from Bobby McFerrin's vocal chords.

This video shows the band on a stage (I think it is). The video looks like it's dark on the stage. They all play the instruments. It is such a great video.

A Dutch, and therefor maybe a bit unknown band, but along with "Vienna" by Ultravox this video was one of the first clips that told a story instead of just showing the singers -um- singing. And what a smiling lady....

This song was originally released back in the late 50's / early 60's but it was re-released in 1986 with The Young Ones actors portraying their characters, Rik Mayall (Rick, a Cliff Richard Fanatic!), Adrian "Ade" Edmondson (Vyvyan Basterd, a psychopathic punk), Nigel Planer (Neil Pye, the hippy) and Christopher Ryan (Mike TheCoolPerson, the cool one). I remember seeing the video clip for this song and it was bloody hilarious!! It rocked. The Young Ones was the best British comedy in the 80's and it's still the best now.

A very arty video which still brings my emotions to the surface every time I watch it. Although the "Mary" I associate it with has changed, it's still an amazing video and amazing song. This and A-ha's "Take On Me" were easily the top two videos of the 80s.

This was the first time I actually "saw" the Dead. It was great that they made their video in a "live " setting, like you were at a show. The fact that they turn into skeletons is pretty cool, and the dog taking off with a leg is great!

A front-running tune for the short-lived TV series, "Max Headroom," the Paranoimia video paralleled the cutting-edge creativity of the series itself- a fresh spin on what happens when a human being and a computer (aka: robot) are intermixed. "Max Headroom" was the main character in the video, showing his face on a CRT monitor, and worrying about getting to sleep. "...WHY can't I just get TO SLEEP? Maybe I can try po- po- poetry... 'Come, sweet slumber, enshroud me in thy purple cloak.' Huh. Doesn't even rhyme."

I thought it was very cute. The lead singer, Steve Gray, had a crush on this beautiful girl. I think she was a model/actress named Kirstie or Krista. The group was performing at high school. Their outfits had 4 on them. I thought the guys were awesome, but they will be missed.

You didn't dream it, Violet. Heh. I have a laserdisc copy of a-ha videos made all the way into the nineties. Seventeen total. HHAL is one of them, and a beauty. This is a terrific band that's still making music today.

Great cover seen through the eyes of the guy. Really, one of my faves.

Sweet video! An evil teacher (who is the same guy as the dad in We're Not Gonna Take It ) yells at a kid. Teacher: WHAT DO YOU WANNA DO WITH YOUR LIFE!!!! Kid: (song starts playing) I WANNA ROCK The funniest parts are when the teacher is about to launch a grenade but instead of throwing the grenade he throws that tiny metal piece and thinking he launched the grenade but then discovers he still has it in his hands. Another is when he launches the TNT.

WOW, what a video! The beginning kinda reminds me of The Matrix, but the bass players in the video are using the wrong type of bass. They are playing an acoustic bass when the bass in the song is actually a synth bass.

Song from a movie... video features Danny Devito playing a sax almost as big as he is.

He used to creep my brother and I out when we were little. All I remember is his scary face and he was running the whole video.

One of my fave 80's videos... there's an old lady rocking on a porch listing groups of 3 (3 blind mice, 3 musketeers, 3 wise men). Robbers steal some money and this couple spends the video trying to get away from them. The band members help them out by making a bridge and tent for them. Awesome video.

I loved the song and they had several different versions of the music video which was very unique. I am not sure just how many versions there are but would love to have a collection of all of them.

I think this music video is great. I especially like some of the symbols of the 80's, from the suit, to the saxophone that the high skirted chick has on. This is one of those videos that you can't forget.
