Definitely 'Poison' by Bell Biv Devoe. I love that song to death, but the video is just... ugh... Lazy ass choreography, general tomfoolery, poorly edited green screen effects... It should have been so much better.

Can't find this on YouTube, but...

Mica Paris - Stay (1998)

I don't know what's going on here. And what does any of it have to do with the song? The streetwalking, the mean mugging, the kidnapping, the corpse, them chicks circling the corpse. [sideeye]

This one isn't a "terrible" video per se, but relative to the song, which has such an interesting and distinctive sound, it just looks like a jumbled mess of uninspired ideas that adds nothing.

Bruno Mars' "Gorilla":

Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

I don't even know if this is considered a canon Madonna video but it's just butt ugly to watch.

yeah,it's a great song! Extremely catchy with a good groove.I remember our local R&B radio station used to play this song.It's got a cool,late-80s sound that I like.

Billy Squier: "ROCK ME TONIGHT"


The video for Billy Squier’s 1984 hit “Rock Me Tonite” may be the most unintentionally gayest thing ever seen. There’s a torn t-shirt, loads of crotch shots, arm flailing and, yes, writhing, which looks as if it may have been inspired by Madonna. Even the video for "The Stroke" seems a bit nelly. Okay, okay, I suppose I should be a bit more PC here. The videos are just downright effeminate, that's all, for someone now heard on Classic Rock stations.
