I thought of this video as soon as I read the topic. Is it the one with the 2 girls getting ready for a night out in New York in the 80's? It is a totally cool 80's video.[;)]

I just thought of the club that was in this video. I think it was the Fun House? Was that in the city?

The Dead Milkmen's video for "Punk Rock Girl" is one of my favorite funny videos, and I also like the B-52s "Song for a Future Generation" video with them swinging on some kind of tree swing and wearing cool wigs.

Yaz's "Don't Go", where Vince Clarke is a Dr. FRankenstein, is a wacky fave!
Duran vids were always a pleaser. I learned a lot about Geography from watching their vids.[:I] But their earliest: "Planet Earth", "Careless Memories", and "Girls on Film" were my faves....all that frilly New Romantic garb!
White Wedding, Shiny Shiny, Our House ( remember him playing air guitar on a tennis racket?)...all good faves, too.
I was totally into videos. i have too many faves to list. heck, I even liked that minimalist-yet-essential-New-Wave "I Ran" by AFOS !
