Total Eclipse of the Heart is so good. It's hard to top that one.

I still stole the Pat Benatar one for a Facebook update because I needed something, though. So, thanks!

And I miss the '80s too. I feel like that decade really got me.

Music-wise, I miss the early 80's but the second half of the decade the music was mostly blah to me. But the early 80's, when everything music video and synthesizer-wise was brand spanking new, that was just a fun time.

I agree,as far as music is concerned,the first half of the 80s was amazing (1980-85).Things started to slide in the late 80s.

Truth be told, I skipped that one because I was worried that I would just get "Safety Dance" stuck in my head all day. Now that I've watched it (and enjoyed it), I see that I was right. How I hate that song.

I'd say after '86, things started to slide(even though I liked New Jack Swing).

I love these literal videos. I posted a few more in a thread I made awhile ago about it:

http://prince.org/msg/8/333178

My favorite line is from "Total Eclipse of the Heart":

Here's where I pretend to be Eva Peron- look at me I'm lifting my arms!
