Worst Music Video Ever

    I just heard a song on the radio, and commented to a work colleague that the song has the worst music video ever.

    The song is from the 80s.

    So if you have to pick the worst music video ever what would it be?

    I'm not going to say what the tune on the radio was, I just want to see if someone here names it.

    Its not Cliff Richards Stereo before someone mentions that.;)

    Wake me up before you go go by Wham.

    Those clothes, that dancing, Pepsi and Shirley. Ugh, ugh, ugh!

    Pretty much with Weird Al Yankovic in it. Guy sucks at parody.

    Nope, none of those, Money for Nothing is good though, how I laughed at that as a 5 year old watching it.

    That's a fairly decent track IMO...even if the guy is as bent as a £4 note...

    Nope. It wasn't any of them!

    Can't view any youtube links here, but I remember that Fast Food Rockers, it was terrible.

    Love the song but the video is pure muck

    Haha...I actually thought of that one as well...watch the parody on youtube

    Not that either, agreed, cool song, but that is one awful video.

    Its looking like I might have to concede defeat and admit the video in question isn't that bad, I still think its awful, one of the most cringeworthy videos ever, and googling list of worst music videos ever, it doesn't up, but googling the song on its own, yields loads of list saying its awful.

    I know.

    80's is all I can say.

    Would so love to sneak a hint in here for ye, but the work colleague will know then I cheated.

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Come on people!

    The video was voted the worst music video of all time by a TV music channel.

    The song was out in the mid 80's.

    Only hints I can give, looks like I have lost this one, I really expected someone to get it, as its pure crap.

    Hopefully when the answer is revealed, ye don't all like it!!!:eek:

    You drive a hard bargain;

    American
    Solo Artist
    Still Touring

    Going to apologize in advance, as I fear this is going to be a big anti climax.
