Jilli, stop laughing at me.

Jilli's away at the mo' but I'm laughing in her place.

I just watched a Mike Oldfield video that I only ever saw twice sometime in the mid 80's. For me, it's memorable for the fact that I thought the female singer was the best likeness for Judge Anderson (from the Judge Dredd comic) I'd ever seen. Looking again, I'd still have to say she's damn close.

Yes, my brain is always like this.

I had the one from Prince Charming on my ceiling in my bedroom.

I caused Jilli to be quite flustered when I showed her my vinyl copy of the Prince Charming album with the gatefold pic.

What's your favorite '80s video?

"Take On Me" by a-ha

Mike Oldfield video

Hergest Ridge or Tubular Bells?

Neither. 'Pictures in the Dark'.

Occasionally, I have some taste similarities to Dean Winchester.

Jilli, stop laughing at me.

Do the rest of us have to stop? Because, hee hee hee...

Someone's never seen the video for "The Chauffeur"

Pfft. My Duran Duran obsession was LEGENDARY. Possibly someone NOT ME has never seen the video for "The Chauffeur," but I most certainly have. Doesn't mean it was my favorite, though.

And I just watched the videos for "Save a Prayer" and "New Moon on Monday." It seems I only remembered the last 2 minutes of "Save a Prayer." And I'm also agog that I ever believed Nick Rhodes was straight. (I WAS 12, SHUT UP.)

Well, I was *12* at the time. I thought it was all cutting-edge cool.

Hey! I WAS YOUNG TOO11!

Piotr, you were NEVER young.

I just watched the Madness vid. man, I had forgotten how damn funny that was.

Also cool is Blur's video for "Parklife" which pays beautiful homage to the "Our House" vid (in part - it's not a straight up parody or anything).

My favorite Madness video is Wings of a Dove. Sure it's a blatant rip-off of Bob Dylan, but I think it was the first blatant rip off of Bob Dylan.

You've got to be kidding. People have been blatantly ripping off Bob since 1965.

I also just baked a batch of banana muffins, baked a spinach/crab quiche, and washed the dishes. I feel oh-so-virtuous.

I, on the other hand, have been trolling YouTube and giggling like the schoolgirl I was when these videos were released.

Hair Band Videos, Best Of (aka, songs Dean Winchester sings along to)

GnR - Welcome To The Jungle. Purely because of Axl's hair. Not as much Slash as I would like.

Whitesnake - Here I Go Again. Girl in a white lace dress doing random ballet moves on cars.

Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn. BLESS.

Warrant - Heaven

Winger - Hungry. C'mon it starts with a random car crash!

Ratt - Round and Round.

Def Leppard - Women. It has comics!

Skid Row - 18 and Life. Damn.

Great White - Once Bitten, Twice Shy. Though listening to it, it's much more a southern/outlaw rock song than a hair band song. Strong elements of honky-tonk.

Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize. Lawd.
