Now, I love the song/band to death, but still, I could have done without Neil Peart spinning in mid-air. Come to think of it, I could have done without everyone spinning in mid-air.
So, anyone else got any cheesy 80's music videos they'd like to share?
Didn't Patton Oswalt mention this video in one of his standup routines? I vaguely recall a bit describing the video.
Also, the Nuge's sunglasses look pretty odd on him.
There's no way that's 1994. It's 1990 at the very latest.
OH, you didn't know! Your ass better call somebody! It actually is 1990... you are correct. That still proves my point that it's not '80s but feels like it.
I heard that, much like the Crips and Bloods, for Doro Pesch to become a part of the band, all the other members first had to run a train on her.

Perhaps. And it's also possible it was her idea.
Warlock went through many personnel changes over the years and Doro was the only constant. It's possible that when she got tired of banging her bandmates, she kicked them out to make room for new cock.
A Hispanic dude living in Arizona knows a lot of Latinas? That's fucking odd.

What event marked the end of the 80's?
The sudden suprise success of Nirvana's Nevermind.
There are all sorts of other contributing factors: the rise of Clinton, the dissolution of the Soviet Army, the rise of rap, the decline of metal, and a bunch of other stuff I'm too lazy to list. There was a massive cultural revolution.

Yeah, that. 1991 was a *great* year for music.

The cheesiest video ever made is and will always be Journey's "Seperate Ways":
I don't think any video has ever been as unintentionally hilarious as this.
"Dude, I just had a great idea for our video!"
"What is it?"
"You know how we just pretend to play our instruments during a video shoot and then they dub our studio track over the footage?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, what if we pretended to play INVISIBLE instruments?"
"Oh my god... that's brilliant! Quickly men, to the wharf! Journey AWAAAY!"
I would say "Rosanna" by Toto is one of the worst videos.
I don't think any video has been unintentionally pathetic as this is.
Steve Porcaro: Why don't we make another video?
David Paich: Yeah, we'll make a video about us being behind a chain-linked fence in some abandoned renovation site.
Steve: Yeah, and then my ex girlfriend Rosanna Arquette comes in.
David: Dude, it's time you get over her. She's bangin' me now.
Steve: You stupid bitch. I'm out of this band..

My personal favorite:
Land Of Confusion - Genesis
I wouldn't say its cheesy per se, rather, they hid some good political commentary behind a puppet show. (Though, the puppets did freak me out as a kid, as they were kinda scary looking.)
