Experiment on this....
Men At Work - Down Under (1981)
Any Three Stooges fans? Then this song/video combination is perfect for you! (I love this to no end.)
Jump ‘N the Saddle Band -- The Curly Shuffle (1983)
You can laugh but this is seriously one of my all-time favorite songs:
Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok (1984)
Axel Foley: "What? Y'all the second team?"
Detective McCabe: "We're the first team."
Detective Foster: "Yeah, and we're not gonna fall for a banana in the tailpipe."
Axel Foley: [mocking him] "You're not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this - "Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!" See, that's more natural for us. You been hanging out with this dude too long."
Patti LaBelle - Stir It Up (1984)
I still have at least 40 tracks on my list, not including any deeper cuts that haven't occurred to me yet. I foresee lots of post-112 nominations posts...
I'd rather not (and Thread #1 was always designed to be 56). I share the pain but enlarging wouldn't be fair, plus would balloon the voting process, which I've already devised to be as optimal as it could be. It just means we must be that much more selective in our nominations and especially secondings. Still, whatever ends up being left out of the main tournament can still be posted here and enjoyed by all, outside competition.
This is the "official" video so it's got some extra stuff in the beginning but it's really the only video I could find.
Cyndi Lauper - Time After Time (1984)
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
That's a good one but I'm a bit more partial to this:
Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1983)
David Bowie - Let's Dance (1983)
Ronnie Milsap -- Stranger in My House (1983)
Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane (1984)
Meow....
Adam Ant - Puss In Boots (1983)
Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (1981)
Duran Duran - Hungry Like the Wolf (1982)
Amazing that she was almost 40 when she made this video.
Toni Basil -- Mickey (1982)
Van Halen - Jump (1983)
