I really wish they'd show some certain music videos again.....admitedly 4 me, most r from the swing era (late 80's-aearly 90's) but that's 'cause of my childhood.....


1) latoya Jackson "Ur gonna get rocked"..camp as hell, dark backstreets with some cool dancing from Toy herself.....love the look of this one.....think of "My name is Prince" but with really camp "Street" dancers! Very,very 80's!

2) Stevie b "Love and emotion"
"Pump that body"- should been big.....video was mega cheezy with zany special effects...good pumping song.....video was so cool.....

3) "Do the bartman"- The simpsons
4) "Opposites attract"- Paula abdul.....u remember, the cartton rapping cat etc.....he released an album.....I must find that one as i have it somewhere
5) "She ain't worth it"-Glenn medeiros and Bobby brown.....first girlfreind etc.....don't think Glenn was much of a dancer if i remember.....

6) "She drives me crazy"- charity single with Muppets, John Landis and celebrities.....video is awful..in a funny way.....check ozzy osbournes singling!

7) "baby don't forget my number"- Milli vanilli.....stoyyline in video is priceless

8) "This is the way we roll" Mc hammer..... a lot lesser known hammer hit...great dancing, Hammer always made good videos!

9) Superbowl 1993.....Michael Jackson performs at halftime show.....MJ at his peak.....intro was so hyped up....remember the flashcards to "Heal the world"?


Mine r predictable at the mo' as these r all from one era.....but this was the best era 4 music videos period!!! Anyway can u think of any?

luv it. the song as well

Jeapordy - Greg Kihn Band - Yeah, they're a one-hit wonder. But this video rocked, it's like a mini-horror movie, above and beyond the lyrics to the song.

David Bowie - Fashion / Betty Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes - I vaguely remember these videos. Didn't both of them have all kinds of creepy monsters? I was really into horror movies when I was younger.

Quarterflash - Harden My Heart - I LOVEd this song, had it on 45 and wore it out. The video was real dramatic and stylized, a little bit like scenes from Suspiria.

Asia - Heat of The Moment - Before Velvet Revolver and Audioslave, there was Asia, nuff said. They used to play this video to death on MTV, with the big wall of televisions.

Mountains - Prince - I havent seen the full color version in YEARS.

Do The Bartman can be found on the Simpsons Second Season DVD which also has the video of "Deep Deep Trouble"

Opposites Atrract ALWAYS comes on, i dont know how u missed that video, now for a rare Paula video they need 2 play "Forever Your Girl" or "Knocked Out (babyface version)".
She also needs 2 release a DVD video collection.

Baby Dont 4get My Number, funny...my partner has this video and i got to record it off of his vcr while watching it. now THAT video is rare.



My list...

"I Didnt Mean 2 Turn U On" - Chrelle ( i was so little, but i remember King Kong reaching in and trying to grab her).

"The Dance Electric" - Andre Cymone ; I saw it the beginning of this year at a party for the first time in my life, but i wanna c it again..and i know i probably never will...

"The Screams Of Passion" - The Family ; I know i will never c this video in my life


Erotica - Madonna ...FINALLY i have this video..they actually played it in full on MTV2.

Tom said:

and i take that video for granted really.. lol.

The Jacksons - Can You Feel It
Cameo - Candy
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

I'll come back to this later

*Anquette "I will always be there for you"-I used to see this video on the Box,she was so adorable with her Honey colored eyes,dookie ropes & doorknocker earrings.....
*HWA "Funk Me"- another video I used to see on the Box,back when being a Hoe was a novelty,before half of todays singing chicks made it commonplace....
*Oaktown's 3.5.7 "Yeah,Yeah,Yeah"-Their was like 4 of them girls at the time,that one chick with the high top from the Bobby Brown "My Preogative video" she was in there,with all the biker shorts,and Ghetto ass cheerleader dance moves.....
*Nikki D. "Freak out"- this was big on Rap city around 93' 2nd single off the Flava Unit album,she pimped the fellas out in this video all kinds of Manly strippin eye candy going on.....

A lot of those Paisley Park videos will never see the light of day again.

I remember seeing the video for The Screams Of Passion on NY Hot Tracks back in the day. It had the band performing the song in front of a blue screen and images of the ocean or something was later superimposed behind them--not unlike the Mountains video if I remember correctly.

Chaka Khan's Cloud & Whatcha Gonna Do 4 Me and the rest of her videos with Rufus.

I remember being like 8 years old and just being able to see a brief snippet of that video it was on Mtv or Vh1 can't remember...but I do remember my older sister flippin the channel on me when I was getting into it....I remember it just how you described.

The late 1970s and early 1980s "promo videos" they used to show before the days of MTV.

I'm a sucker for very early 80's videos. Just a few:

Tonight I'm Yours/Rod Stewart
Satisfaction/Devo
Pretty Woman/Van Halen
Don't Drink, Don't Smoke/Adam Ant
Controversy/Prince
Can You Feel It/The Jacksons
Girls On Film/Duran Duran
Planet Earth/Duran Duran
Fashion/Bowie
Our Lips Are Sealed/The Go-Go's
Don't Stand So Close To Me/The Police
Anything by The Motels

psykosoul said:

Oh my god i have all those videos and i dont find them rare...except for Can U Feel It which i had 2 download off of Kazaa, but Sledgehammer comes on ALL the time. I cant get away from that video.

boriquateddy said:

That video was ok, it had them on a boat on the sunset not too far off from the "Im Gonna Miss You" video by Milli vanilli.

I love that song though, one of the best there is of slow jams

Operator - Midnight Star
Any Dead or Alive Video
Georgio's Tina Cherry
Wham Videos
Any Wendy and Lisa Videos
Any and Every Deee-Lite Video
SHelia E Videos - Love Koo Koo

Of course, I forgot "Go, go dancer" by Carmen Electra! That vid was cool.....anyone saw this at the time.....it was on quite alot late at night!


"If u go away" New kids on the block---crap video but great, underated power ballad....last big hit if i remember!


"Fishnet"- morris day..I rememeber the vid being way funny.....

I must have left my head in the ocean, cuz I forgot to list "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Sprinfield.

blackguitaristz said:

OMG, have you seen the full length version of this video???

psykosoul said:

I saw that video earlier this year on BET's Grown Folks Music (does that show still come on? Has it been canned?)

I loved "Sledgehammer," too. They used to show that all the time on the old VH1.

boriquateddy said:

I think I love you! You know ALL the female MCs from back in the day. And I think I remember that last video you're talking about ("Freak Out").

I'd love to see some Vanity 6 and Andre Cymone's "The Dance Electric."

Tom said:

Yes sir. Not only have I seen it, I have it on tape. Yeess!

JANFAN4L said:

Yes Female MC's are my forte next to Prince....It's become a collecting Obsession of mine...my Divas weren't Whitney,Janet,Cher etc...which they're all cool....but for me it was more like Latifah,Lyte,& Yo-Yo etc...have a huge collection of stuff video's,vinyl,cd's,cassettes u name it.....

blackguitaristz said:

That would be Goody Two Shoes.

A lot of these videos they show on VH1 Classic. Some of them are corny and cringe-worthy now. I find myself thinking, "Oh ... mah ... God. Who knew these things would look so corny after all these years?"

To think the concept behind some of 'em was considered good back then.

man all u guys should demand vh1-classic from your cable company because i have seen many of these videos several times on that channel

btw on 2 for Tuesday they played 2 videos by Vanity!

"Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band (1982) ---In the summer of 1982,when MTV was still new,this video was in heavy rotation.I vaguely remember it,but I do recall liking it alot back then.

"Stand Back" by Stevie Nicks (1983) ---the choreography was cool,and it was fun seeing Stevie in this colorful setting.....surrounded by trendy-dressed dancers,and singing a funky dance/pop track for a change.A big departure from the Fleetwood Mac videos.

"No Parking On The Dancefloor" by Midnight Star (1984) ---it's a simple video that shows the band and a bunch of dancers partying in the streets.But it's alot of fun,and there's even a Prince lookalike in it.Looks like a wild hot summer night.

"Papa Don't Preach" by Madonna (1986) ---since she is arguably the Queen of video,you knew I had to include at least one of her videos...lol...this one is tastefully done,and has a strong storyline.

OMG! I forgot all about VH1's 2 for Tuesday. (Damn summer school!) Thanks for reminding me!

Supernova said:

The same could be said about alot of the music of the time. It amazes me that so much of the 80s is dated and corny , yet earlier decades still sound fresh .
