Welcome back to ’80s Music Video Thursdays! Suggestions for next week’s edition are welcome in the comments.

“Sunglasses at Night” by Corey Hart, submitted by CosmykDolfyn.

I don’t know a video with more synchronization problems than this. I must randomly move my mouth. And I hate wearing my sunglasses, even though that’s the song’s title.

“Nightboat” by Duran Duran, submitted by MaryIn Boise.

This is pre-Rio and Hungry Like the Wolf, and the album it comes from is their best in my opinion.

“Cloudbusting” by Kate Bush.

Kate Bush playing Donald Sutherland’s son in a video conceived by Ms. Bush and Terry Gilliam. ‘Nuff said.

A few more from the past:

’80s Music Video Thursday: Candy Coated Sugar Sweetness
’80s Music Video Thursday: Walk, Don’t Run, Like an Egyptian
’80s Music Video Thursdays are my Reality

Submitted by Brandon M, who doesn’t know what fruit is.

Alright, I’ll admit that this video appears to be purposefully WTF, but I don’t think that makes it any less WTF. Though at the time the band was successful in their homeland, Canada, they had yet to break the American market. I’m trying to imagine the impression I may have formed if I had seen this FOX Kids PSA before knowing anything else about the band. Well, whether successful or not, the message of racial tolerance is never something to scoff at. Those dance moves, however, are.

It’s that time of the week again: ’80s Music Video Thursday! I’ll call this the “Thanksgiving Edition,” although there is nothing relevant to the holiday to be found in the videos below. As always, suggest your favorite cheesy/awful/funny/cool 80s videos in the comments!

“Walk Like an Egyptian” by The Bangles
One of my favorite things in life is learning dances that were choreographed specifically to match the lyrics of the song. Don’t tell me you don’t do “Egyptian arms” when this song comes on the radio. Just don’t do them while driving, ‘cuz that would be dangerous.

“Love is the Drug” by Grace Jones
Grace Jones’ cover of Roxy Music’s “Love is the Drug” is just as good as the original, which is a rare feat. As for Ms. Jones, she was doing the crazy-fashion-music-performance-art thing two decades before Lady GaGa, so let’s give her props. Despite the 80s-ness of the video, I still think it’s kind of cool.

“Lavender” by Marillion
A saccharine video to match a saccharine song. It’s so classically ’80s it hurts.

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.

Another edition of ’80s Music Video Thursday, where we bring you the best/worst/cheesiest of what YouTube can let us embed. As always, leave your suggestions for next week’s post in the comments.

“Love Shack” by the B-52s
This party in the “Love Shack” is what I’d imagine the birthday party for a 40-year-old at Chuck-E-Cheese might look like. Awesome awesome awesome song.

“Yo’ Little Brother” by Nolan Thomas submitted by themanwithoutaplan

literally, the worst music video from the 80s ever made.

“Safety Dance” by Men Without Hats submitted by a lot of people
Probably the most frequent request we’ve gotten for ’80s Music Video Thursday, but truthfully, I think the video is pretty well done. Cheesy concept for sure, but there are no bad special effects or weird cuts.

“TV Dinners” by ZZ Top submitted by MaryInBoise

I polled most of my friends who grew up in the 80s like me, and almost none of them remember this ZZ Top classic. Probably because it doesn’t have any scantily clad women in it.

“Voyage Voyage” by Desireless submitted by anonymous
I’ve never heard this song before — probably because it’s French — but this video definitely qualifies for awesomely terrible. I mean, what’s more fitting to synth-heavy brooding than a girl giving what appears to be the world’s worst Powerpoint presentation.
