<br>I really don't like any videos that are simply shot from live concerts.

I don't mind "Dancing in the Street." It was just a quickie designed to show a lot of energy, which it succeeded in doing.

I can't stand "Mickey." The song stinks and the video of cheerleaders bouncing around is just plain stupid.

Fat cheerladers that look like men at that.

<br>Dude the Yatta! video is comedy genius.

Although it is scare that the entire audience is completely in sync during the whole thing.
[/quote]I was trying to find some way to equate Yatta to the Village People. Those fig leafs are not much of a costume -- which one is the Indian?...the Cowboy?...the Policeman? [:D][;)]

I love the song, but the video makes me feel embarrassed for everyone involved.

It's the suck.

Good God...the video for Felony's 'The Fanatic' was awful....

It proved that they were a Journey-wanna be band that had to settle on playing New Wave cuz it was 'hip' at the time...

Never trust a new wave/punk/power pop band from the '80s that had a member with a moustache!

(apart from maybe the Stranglers)

Oh, I've seen worse. It's just a silly 80s video that doesn't mean anything--there are worse offenders.

<br>Pat Benetar also made we belong? I think that was ther song but anytime you make a video about ww2 its silly. It showed people in unmatching uniforms, fake planes, and pat able to walk into Nazi headquarters and blow it up without anyone seeing her.
[/quote]I think the WWII Benatar video was for "Shadows of the Night". "We Belong" had the famous luminescent green playtex gloves.
