Worst Music Video Ever

Mr Freeze · 30-03-2010 3:18pm #1

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.;)

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing?

Pighead · 30-03-2010 3:26pm

Wake me up before you go go by Wham.

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

Spiritoftheseventies · 30-03-2010 3:28pm

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

Mr Freeze · 30-03-2010 3:37pm

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...

Yeah I like the actual song but the video for it

Mr Freeze · 30-03-2010 4:02pm

Nope. It wasn't any of them!

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

Mr Teeny · 30-03-2010 4:20pm

What about I ran by Flock of Seagulls

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.

Unless we have a hint as to lyrics/year/band it's the needle in a haystack situation

I still laugh my bollocks off....watch when the camera pans to the audience wetting themselves and spot the old lady in the audience with a straight face...she has no idea what's going on...:)

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.

lol, I love that video!!

When they burst into the bank and the guys glasses crack?? How can you not love that??

Mr Freeze · 31-03-2010 8:19am

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;

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

Mr Freeze · 31-03-2010 10:53am

Well Done Bart Roberts.

Did them hints help? Or do just think its a shocking bad video?

Bart Roberts · 31-03-2010 10:57am

The hints helped! I can barely remember the video but my roomate has been singing that song constantly over the last week so its been wrecking my head.

Didn't think i would be right though:D

Blondies Rapture is pretty damned awful, the Yanks took so long to "get" the music video format. It was just kinda made up as they went I think.

Not the worst exactly, but definitely the weirdest I've seen.

This gets my vote for the worst.

Yeah the video is quite odd alright but that song is great. There are 2 "dance-ish" songs I like, that one and ATB's 'Til I Come. I think it's coz they remind me of my childhood!

The shockingly awesome guitar solo 2:08 minutes is the greatest solo I've ever heard. :pac:

I like this song, but the video...check out the chorus, where Midge 'acts' out the lyrics. Oh Midge, what were you thinking?
