Music Videos – Memorable Images When Hearing The Song Today (1 Viewer)

[zamboni]

Was listening to the '80s station on SiriusXM this morning and heard "Send Her My Love" by Journey.

Being an old MTV junkie, immediately recalled the video I saw a million times back in the day. For some reason, first thing that I remembered was some blond-haired goober in the video staring up at the band immediately before Neal Schon's solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InyWhQLfO7A&feature=player_detailpage#t=149

This may be a generational thread, but any other songs you hear that make you think to some specific element of the video?

Not talking about hearing ZZ Top and thinking of hot chicks, or "Thriller" and dancing zombies, but something more specific.

The video for "Take On Me" by A-Ha. I now know the specific term is called rotoscoping, but back then all the kids referred to it as the video with the "pencil drawings".

Whitesnake - the entire self-titled album. Tawney Kitaen.

Good site.

I hear Aldo Nova's "Fantasy" a lot these days. Always think of this image.

 

[rockaction]

Dave TV from David Lee Roth's "Just A Gigolo." Also the montage ending and strip club beginning from "Hot For Teacher." So much Van Halen that early part of the decade for a young kid like me.

 

[Papa Georgio]

Whitesnake first thing I thought about.

How about Money for Nothing - Dire Straits neon glow headband and guitar?

Or mover guy?

 

[zamboni]

"I Ran" - look ma, one finger

I was always mesmerized by the guitar player's glasses.

Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes" - one, his Revolutionary War get up with the face paint, as well as him and the hot chick reporter skipping off to the bedroom with her undoing her hair.

The girl getting her shirt lifted up around 2:22

The person holding their crutch up in the crowd around 3:43

Good one - she was uber hot.

Another chick I loved and think of when I hear the song: Survivor - "I Can't Hold Back"

Those are the kind of one-off images I'm talking about.

"Whip It" - A combination of the robotic chick being systematically undressed by Mark Mothersbaugh's whip and the elderly woman with the bowl full of whipped cream and a whisk.

Nice. I think of Boomer Esiason at the 0:22 mark when I hear it (which is rare).

 

[Tom Servo]

Godley and Creme's "Cry" with the face shifting.

 

[Quint]

the lead singer from Steelheart bending nearly in half in "Never Let You Go".

The cross-eyed girl always weirded me out.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The spinning arms on the dinosaurs in "I Want You Back" by the Hoodoo Gurus.

YES! Great song/album.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Us having this in common is so bittersweet.

 

[Papa Georgio]

Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorn

Bobby Dall so wasted a roadie is helping him get off the floor during a show. Also the close up shot starting at the floor working up of Brett Michaels where it's obvious he has stuffed a chinchilla in his pants...

...what?

 

[Insein]

Wicked Game.

 

[zamboni]

Another Duran Duran one is "New Moon on Monday" when the Durans are awkwardly dancing around at the end.
