Music Video For Pointer Sisters "Automatic" This is probably my favorite Pointer Sisters song. How come I've never seen a music video for it until now???

Please! There were tons of horrible, cheesy videos released in the 80s. But, I do have to agree that this was probably the worst one that I've seen from The Pointer Sisters. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

I always associate this song with Grand Theft Auto Vice City now .
The second I hear it I immediately think of driving around as Tommy Vercetti, on the sidewalk mowing down pedestrians. "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

Never seen this before thanks for posting Where do I start? The wardrobe is horrible and so is the hair and makeup. Where was the choreography? What were the record executives thinking? Ive never seen a Pointer Sisters video look like this. I love the song but I wouldnt want that released. It was pretty bad
The Bea Arthur outfit Ruth and Anita was wearing. | |

I love this crap video, it's so innocent. The song is just perfect pop genius. | |

Describe it I've never seen any other video for this song.
I'd rather just watch their appearance on Soul Train They have better outfits on and seem much more enthusiastic.They're still doing that crazy 'hand-in-the-air' grandma dance,though....LOL

To me they give off a vibe like they don't even like the song, like they just sang it because they were told to. "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

in Rick James' autobiography,he mentioned that the Pointer Sisters would visit him backstage from time to time,smoking on cocaine cigarettes | |

I wonder if Ruth or Anita write their autobiographies, would they mention that they used cocaine like this rather than just snort it. Some biographies get graphic when it comes to drug use I've noticed. | |

I don't know, because it's posted on here every few months. Great song, hilariously bad video! "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |
