Confession: I love cheesy 80's videos.

[maygra]

And because I do... I must share.

Rick Springfield - Human Touch (not the concert version)

Chris deBurgh - Lady in red

Chris deBurgh - Don't Pay the Ferryman (HEE!)

Ultravox - Vienna (I tried to find Reap the Wld Wind, but could only find fan vids and concert footage)

Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield  (SAMMY!)

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (I love Kate Bush -- but she looks psychotic in this vid.

Kate Bush! ♥

Surely psychotic is the point, since she's meant to be a heartsick ghost? Never mind, I love her however she is.

Thank you for making my morning with these. I miss the days when MTV played actual music videos.

Don't Pay The Ferryman! My Dad used to listen to The Spanish Train and Other Stories all the time when I was growing up.

So many memories :)

I'm not so much loving of the Kate Bush version of Wuthering Heights, but I LOVE the Pat Benatar version.

*Blushes furiously*

I have been looking for a copy of Human Touch to go with my chessy vid collection--A Ha, Bonnie Tyler, Meatloaf....apparently I was a huge fan of costumes and 'concept' vids....gak!

OMG I love Don't Pay the Ferryman, but I can't remember ever seeing that clip. So very dorky. (goes off to play the High on Emotion Live in Dublin concert in a wave of 80s music nostalgia)

Lol, wow, Pat Benatar's video is like Sammy. It's been a while since I've seen the video for that song. I love these old videos. Thanks for sharing.

Pat Benatar, long time no see, there was no mtv over here when I was growing up and the only tv station showed music videos for 45 min every week I remember seeing that Kate Bush video, love young Kate and Love is a battlefield is the root of all my angst obsession. For us who were there these videos, allthough cheesy, have a place in our heart. Thanks for posting.
