memories of early mtv and videos that did not suck


Recommended Posts

i used to watch mtv when my dad left me home alone (which was a lot - neglect...) :) . the house would get dark and i would be too scared to get up off the bed and turn on the lights. and those videos scared the shit outta me:

herbie hancock - rock it (the clothes dancing out of the closet!!! are my clothes gonna do that?)

pat benatar - love is a battlefield (omigod! thrashing about!)

billy idol - all of his videos! (scary, but still sexy; confusing...)

peter schilling - major tom (blastoff!)

the fixx - one thing leads to another (mentioned above; fire - scary.)

talking heads - burning down the house (the big clothes, the projections on the street: soooo scary)

and, of course, thriller.

dope, not scary videos:

inxs - need you tonight (the cards - straight ripoff from bob dylan, but i didn't know that.)

prince - when doves cry (wow.)

many years later would use a similar theme.

coincidence?

i think not.
