Kenny Rogers "Lady"

This clip has it all. A country artist singing a Lionel Richie song. A knight in shining armor riding a camel’s toe. And yet, it gave Mr. Bad Chicken the 12th most popular song of the 80s. KayRaj spends so much energy standing upright throughout the entire song, that his voice actually gives out at the end. But, it doesn't matter...Kenny, you’ve come into my life and made me whole…

J. Geils Band "Centerfold"

Here’s another one of those big budget 80s videos. It looks like John Geils knew the night custodian at his old high school and snuck in after hours. The song is about his Angel, but she must have called in drunk on the day of the shoot. Instead, the video stars what appears to be the community ballet class that had booked the gymnasium that night. He thought his Angel was innocent…I thought J. Geils was cool. Reality is a bitch. The pages of our minds are stripped. Still, this will forever be my all-time favorite song to roller skate to…

Loverboy "Lovin' Every Minute Of It"

I’m lovin every minute of this video. Telephone call for Mike Reno. “Hello…sorry gotta go…I forgot I’m shooting a video”. Click. Beautiful girls flock to this guy. And it’s all because he’s antenna. Aerial. He’s tunin in…he’s outta control. Put on a plain white T, roll up the sleeves and let Loverboy shoot you like a rocket into spaAAce…

The Fat Boys "Wipe Out"

What a great 80s rap video. Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini and Hector "Macho" Camacho make appearances, giving testimony to just how big the Fat Boys were at the time. They also had access to some of the most cutting edge video equipment, as evidenced by the eerily real dream sequences. These Fatties were pretty hard core rappers, banging out rhymes like "toured the nation" and "needed a vacation".
Tipper Gore would not approve of you watching this video...
