’80s Music Video Thursday Are My Reality
More awesomely bad videos this week. Leave your suggestions for awesomely bad videos in the comments!
“Reality” by Richard Sanderson
Not trying to be mean, but I couldn’t stop looking at Richard Sanderson’s awful teeth. I mean, if your teeth are that bad, why would you make a video that only features your head for four and a half minutes? But at least this proves that you can turn a bad Sears portrait into a music video, if you have some creepy zombie hands in the background.
“Hang Up The Phone” by Annie Golden submitted by CosmykDolfyn
I like the end of the video when Annie Golden and her boy toy are dancing/trying to head butt each other.
“I Wanna Be a Lifeguard” by Blotto also submitted by CosmykDolfyn (nice work)
Did anyone tell Blotto they were acting like idiots?
“I’m Over You” by Sequal submitted by QuoteMan
You know what they say: if you can’t dance, hide it with a lot of blinking horizontal lines.

Ow. It physically hurts to watch.
Nostalgic video Thursday or crappy video Thursday?
That first one was so bad, it seemed like he was making fun of bad singers and their terrible videos.
It’s funny how bad 80’s teeth look now. Even Tom Cruise had horrible teeth back then.
I have to leave the room if any of those movies are on, and if I see anyone with less than perfect teeth I have to stop myself throwing something at them.
Annie Golden was Cliff Clavin’s girlfriend on Cheers.
Did anyone tell you Blotto were purposely acting like idiots? You should see their video for Metal Heads sometime.
Okay, it’s called Metal Head, not Heads.
Here’s the link:
Ah, the time before call waiting. Life was so tumultuous then.
Blotto is still around & much older. I loved that Lifeguard song.

I know what you mean. I still find myself singing it at random moments…
I-I-I wanna be a lifeguard (help! help! help! help!)
I-I-I wanna guard your life!
Anyone know where I could find a dress like Angie’s from the Sequel movie?
Blotto – Always a blast to witness in person! “She’s Got a Big Boyfriend” and “My Baby’s the Star of a Driver’s Ed Movie” were hilarious!
why are there so many videos i can’t view “in my country”.. “due to copyright restrictions”.. what the hell.. seems like every other music video these days :/
Wang Chung – Dance Hall Days – 2nd Version (Music Video)

He looks high when he dances….
I think they got the “Elaine dance” on Seinfeld from that girl on the right in that Sequel video.

I’m On My Way- The Proclaimers
I like the song, but the video… well, let’s just say t’s too 80’s for me….
With the “funky” dance moves these ladies demonstrate, this one is just begging to be literal video-ized.
Maybe, but I effin’ love that song.
LOL My dance teacher (way back in the day) had an album with this song on it. We’d use it to warm up for class. My cousin was in the class with me and used to make me laugh sooo hard with her antics to this song.
Ok guys…WE NEED MORE VIDEOS!!!! And I wanna help satisfy that need.
First. The Warrior by Scandal. Weird creatures and transformations. Plus a dance routine and ripping clothes.

Time Stand Still by Rush
Speaking of videos with weird creatures—
*that’s SpocK. Sorry.
Those Sequal girls have a Myspace Music Page.
The “I Wanna Be a Lifeguard” thing……….I’ve saw much more worst.
