Love the 80’s. Music, movies, 911’s, 928, 944 and the 924. I like the more pop stuff but certainly a lot of more edgy stuff came from the period.

That is actually a very good song. It was produced by Quincy Jones . A stand up line up of musicians who played on that song including the Sea Wind horns. The video does nothing for me IMO

I’m still haunted by the terrible 80’s music.

Worst decade for ugly cars Chevy citations, big hair, piles of cocaine, really bad music, men piercing their ears and wearing jordache jeans.

Still hideous? No so long ago these were considered ugly... Not so much now.

The 80's were better than the disco 70's IMO.

This is prolly in the running for the worst of the 80's.
Peter griffin called it the ghey-est video ever. Could be right.

70s music was great until about 1973 - 74. Disco and new wave music came on strong. That's just about the time, I moved away from rock n roll. I like Robert Palmer and some Blondie stuff but their videos are what everyone remembers - Some of those videos are/were ground breaking.

Yeah? How about this one, Sammy? Probably ruined Billy Squier's career. The comments are pretty good (not surprisingly).

Wow, that's awful. I liked the "Don't Say No" album, but that video above (and the song) is just horrible.

Yeah, the comments are hilarious (best part of the video)

And no one on the crew took him aside and said, "Look..."

Been watching this gem for 30 years , I learned this dance so I could get into fights at clubs.

Liberace saw this and was like, "Damn dude, tone it down a bit!!"

I'm a pretty feminine woman, but Billy has me beat on the skipping/prancing. No matter how hard I try, I just can't get it girly enough.

Prance, prance, prance, swish left, swish right, prance, swish, prance and swish. Repeat as needed.

I remember when this video came out. Everyone knew David was they, but after this confirmed Mick swung all ways.
