More awesomely bad music videos. Like last week, you can post other embarrassingly cheesy videos in the comments, and I’ll post a few next Thursday.

“You Spin Me Round” by Dead or Alive submitted by Good Grief
Great song. Extremely high WTF factor in the video.

“Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by Wham
My pick this week. George Michael dances the way I would dance if I could ever be drunk enough to wear what he’s wearing.

I thought it’d be fun to mix things up for this Thursday afternoon and post a few music videos from the ’80s. These videos are awesome. Also terrible. Awesomely terrible. But again, mostly regular terrible.

Feel free to post more incredibly bad music videos in the comments, and I’ll pick the best for next week.

“Let’s Groove” by Earth Wind and Fire
In space, no one can hear you groove. All night.

“Abracadabra” by Steve Miller
In case you missed it, there’s a magic theme going on here.

“I Wanna Love You Tender” by Armi and Danny
These dance moves aren’t going to make Beyonce jealous. But seriously, worst choreography ever?

Rush is like a sexual explosion of sound. Greatest drummer of all time and greatest bass player of all time, plus an excellent guitarist are pretty sweet right? Well, not until you add the incredible lyrics and the fact the just three guys can recreate a symphony of sound with total perfection that make professional musicians say HOLY F! As a kid I loved this song, and also the way the band spoke to non-conformist kids who weren’t ready to go full goth or full jock but just wanted to maintain some individuality in high school. This is what real talent looks like.

That’s one hell of a write up. Well done!

(Sorry that’s not the full video — embedding disabled by request (who does that?). Anyway, watch the full thing on YouTube.)

Whoa, MC Hammer! [INSERT JOKE ABOUT PARACHUTE PANTS HERE]. I mean, right? Those were ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as the spandex. {INSERT JOKE ABOUT SPANDEX HERE]

My favourite quote:

“Wer sich an die 80er erinnern kann, hat sie nicht miterlebt.” (it means: “Anyone who remembers the 80s didn’t live that time” and is probably in some relation to his drug use…)

I’ll be honest. I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song, but it garnered an overwhelming response on the voting pages. The only Falco I know is from Star Fox.
