I didn't think that video was that bad! I forgive Steve Perry his weird faces, 'cause the man could belt it out! The chick looked pretty standard for the 80's. I went to high school with some girls who didn't look much different than that! I felt the shot on her, um, posterior was a bit gratuitous. And I don't get the warehouse scenery. What kinda girl was this? :) I think <A HREF="http://www.freewebs.com/runningincircles/" REL="nofollow">Running in Circles</A> should add this song to their playlist, though.<BR/><BR/>My mom didn't get cable 'til I'd left home.

It is brilliant in its <I>unintentional</I> silliness. My proposition is most people would want to remember this song un-videoed (word?), and that most people, including MTV, probably realized for the first time that music is better without the images after seeing this song. <BR/><BR/>"Jump" is campy too, but with Diamond Dave everything is, at least I think, intentionally campy.<BR/><BR/>Wow this was a long comment on my own blog.

I should leave that to the Quipper. He showed me the video you're talking about not too long ago saying it was the worst ever or something like that.

That third month MTV went on the air. <BR/><BR/>I wholeheartedly agree music is best with the listener providing the mental images. That way we all get to star in our own productions!<BR/><BR/>Radio?
