Kool & The Gang -- Misled (The 2ND Best Music Video Of All Times....right after Thriller!) Yay OR Nay?

I vote yay! For Kool & The Gang, THIS video (along with Tonight & Fresh) is without question their best ever.

Actually, the band members are in costumes in the beginning of the video. But I see your point.lol I wonder if Michael was giving JT some good/bad advice around this time!

It's one of their better videos (which ain't saying much) but it's not second behind "Thriller". I also like their "Tonight" video.

I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

JT sends Michael a shout-out by his own dance routine in that video. I also like Joanna & Fresh.

Even the jacket he was wearing was MJ-ish.

That too. I also think of Misled as the bands' answer to Thriller to an extent. Both videos were created like a short movie.

This thread is too funny! lol

I remember when this video first came out. I think I even bought the 7".

Yay or nay depends on what kind of mood I'm in. If I'm looking for some high quality 80s cheese, then this gets a yay. If I'm looking for some plain high quality then it gets a nay.

Najee

As if I no reason to respect a lot of the 1980s Kool & The Gang stuff. I forgot about the video to "Misled," which was actually an above-average song.
THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS!

Recently bumped into hearing this jam on a web-station .
Major slamming and from hearing the lead-vox it seemed that Skip Martin from the Dazz Band already had joined them in 1989 .

An indifferent nay .
Has the production of videos stopped in the early 80's ?!
... the question is TOO subjective IMO .

What about this one :

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ygBREZSZJ70

( Still an early 80's clip , but with MTV , there has been made much prgress in the art of musicvidz )




MISLED review :

Imagewise
- Partly inspired by the Idiana Jones trilogy but the build-up story is not as thrilling as ... ( fill in the blanx )
- The choreography in Misled is a WORLWIDE difference from Thriller . MJ's and the group's moves and are much more tighter .

Musicwise
- JT's vocals are good but they don't sound ( imo ) with the eager drive that MJ has in Thriller .
- There are some solid synths in there with a popping bass here and there , but not as driving like stated above .
.
.
