Clang Clang!
When I was a kid, on the 'very' few times I got to watch MTV (usually while at a friend's house) I would pray that the video for the Run-DMC/Aerosmith version of "Walk This Way" would come on, as at that time, it was my favorite video. I had different favorite videos over time, but those were the golden years , and I'm sure my top five would come close to a few other folk's that grew up in the 80's.
A-Ha's "Take On Me", Dexy's Midnight Runner's "Come On Eilenne", Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and I can't think of any kid at the time who didn't freak out when "Thriller" came on. Times change and I've got a new favorite. It's an older song, and as so many of things on the internet these days, it's done in Flash. But it's done so well. And it's oh-so catchy.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Maxwell's Silver Hammer by The Beatles.
(Click on 'Watch This Movie!' to, uh, watch that movie)

I realize that I've taken a slight macabre turn recently. Watching the Chan-Wook Park trilogy will do that to a fella.

Wow that really took me back! I do remember when Thriller came out and the controversy!
There was a disclaimer at the beginning I think about MJ not endorsing the occult. (Too bad he would end up endorsing being a pedophile instead!)
Anyway I remember what a big deal that was. Cyndi Lauper brought back a lot too. Her hair back then and the crazy outfits. Some parents didn't like her either, since she twisted Lou Albano's arm behind his back in the video. Showing disrespect to parents,
Being a parent now though I can see why they didn't appreciate that. That was the good old days . .
You're a sick, twisted, pervo and I like that in a person!
