After being subject to hour upon hour of horrible 80’s music videos recently, I decided to compile a list of the absolute worst. Get ready for a laugh.
#1 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
She Blinded Me withScience by Thomas Dolby is without a doubt the worst music video of the 80’s. If you haven’t seen this gem, I’d recommend you do so for a good laugh. Thomas visits the home for deranged scientists where he meets the chemical-reeking vixen of his dreams. This is classic 80’s pop at its worst. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IlHgbOWj4o
#2 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) by Dead or Alive is number two on the list of worst music videos of the 80’s. With a barrage of pelvic thrusts, hip shaking and finger wagging from lead singer Pete Burns, it doesn’t get much worse than this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHm-k5rRcww
#3 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go by Wham! is not only one of the worst music videos of the 80’s, its one of the most embarrassing performances I’ve ever witnessed. These amazing dance moves are sure to make you laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hksil-KkebQ
#4 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
One hit wonder Toni Basil’s Mickey is my pick for the number four worst music video of the 80’s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FeIF-7fhkE
#5 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
Robin Sparkles’ Let’s Go to the Mall is a horrible blend of stone washed denim and shallow lyrics. “Put on your jelly bracelets and your cool graffiti coat!” My favorite part is when Robin blasts off into space, leaving us in a wake of pink sparkles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mJAsgIIfNM&feature;=related
#6 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
I Wanna Be a Life Guard by Blotto was shown the very first day MTV aired and was a huge success. Why that happened, we can’t be sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMlyqKa1p78
#7 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
George Michael makes the list again with his solo hit, Faith. This cheesy video features extreme close-ups of George Michael’s bum. Need I say more? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSvHpvHFXU0
#8 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
Cover Girl by New Kids on the Block is perhaps one of the worst songs ever written. Watch as Donnie sings this strange, pedophiliac anthem to a little girl on stage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkXrAuR951c
#9 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
Annie Golden’s Hang up the Phone is an 80’s cheese-fest not to be forgotten. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5u9N4XasjxM
#10 Worst Music Video of the 80’s
80’s Finnish pop band Armi and Danny’s I Want to Love You Tender is a creepy, space-themed video with plenty of bad dancing. Are they doing the lawnmower? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vLkKWSs0_o
