Submitted by Deb, who just wants to have fun

Lauper’s She’s So Unusual was the first album to have four top five singles, including classics like “Time After Time,” “She Bop,” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” all of which are still pop gems today. Until somebody ruins it.

We’re back with more awesomely bad videos. As always, leave your suggestions for next week in the comments.

“Tainted Love” by Soft Cell submitted by CosmykDolfyn
OMFGLOOKOUT! Glow-in-the-dark spotted dancers! Random fireball! Floating head in space! Gaaahh!

“Tired of Toein’ the Line” by Rocky Burnette submitted by QuoteMan
Playing instruments often involves dancing around like it’s a slumber party.

“Holding Out for a Hero” by Bonnie Tyler submitted by StreakyTSC
By which she means holding out for a cowboy dressed in white to murder a bunch of cowboys dressed in black.

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler
StreakyTSC reminded me of this video. The song is epic; the video is ridiculously nonsensical. Srsly, WHAT IS GOING ON???

And here’s this week’s installment of awesomely terribly awesomely terribly awesome ’80s video. As always, recommendations for next week are welcomed in the comments.

“Our House” by Madness submitted by xjuggernaughtx
Fun song, fun band. I actually kind of enjoyed watching this.

“We Built This City” by Starship submitted by Miroku
Correctly identified by many commenters as “the worst song ever.” I recommend viewing this video with your sound on mute.

“I Know What Boys Like” by the Waitresses
Contender of the title of Least Sexy Video of All Time. Maybe runner up to this.

“Rock Me Tonight” by Billy Squier
My pick. This video made me realize that Billy Squier was more flamboyant than Freddie Mercury. I didn’t even know that was possible.

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.

“Hey Mickey” by Toni Basil submitted by hee hee
Ohmickyousofineyoufineyousofineyoublowmymindheymickey! (x1 million)

“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?
