    Post ‘em!

    Not the song itself, but the video!

    Let us begin...

    Computer nerd (to record company): Look, I can make this guitar I designed swoosh all over the place.

    Record company: Yeah yeah...we’re having enough trouble giving the guitarist a hip makeover!

    Where to begin?

    Keith Allen gurning!

    Benny Hill-style chasing!

    Alex James riding a pig!

    Hate to say it but probably has to be this...like two twelve year olds in the 80s that got hold of a camcorder and decided to make a music video :D

    A fantastic song but when they start 'dancing' on this video it always make me either laugh or cringe.

    As much love as I have for ABC, this is truly horrific from start to finish...

    If only they kept the ‘Mantrap’ theme running through all the Lexicon videos. In their defence, MTV was still in its infancy - record companies were still trying to work out the music video format.

    Also, can you spot Paul Morley and Trevor Horn in the video?

    ^ I like both of them and don't mind the videos. :)

    It's harder to think of bad videos with songs that are alright or you just don't think they're as bad as they are. There's loads of **** videos with **** songs though.

    I like this song but I thought this was the video...maybe my memory is wrong but I recall this played on music channels??



    But apparently this is the original..don't think I've ever seen it!



    Throw them into a park on an Autumn day with a few strategic camera angles and it makes it slightly better! :)

    One if the most beautiful ballads ever and the video is cringe. Romeo is bordering on creepy.

    And one of my favourite songs from the 80s, dire video, whatever were they thinking?

    I can’t help but feel they were targeting the gay market on this one...

    Any video where they're in the studio looking too serious about the music.

    I can picture whoever pitched this video idea to Eddie and Co. and them all thinking it was gonna be great :D

    Oral... hygiene. Finger friends. Note how happy he looks sitting next to the kids but how bored he is with the adult women in fetish gear. He must have been having a right laugh making this video.

    If Spinal Tap had made a video for ‘Lick My Love Pump’, it would probably look like this...

    Can I just say the video for the Safety Dance is mint? Well I just have! Perfect for the nature of the song.

    Everyone knows Yes and Owner of a Lonely Heart with the eagle motif while that version is now the best known by far it but there was another which feature's glimpses of that intercut with terrible footage of the band on a stage set who are clearly not so much ill at ease as dying inside. Watch for the parrots through the square window.

    Rainbow had some terrible vids - unwatchable shiote and here is one of them. The song is terrible too bar the guitar solo.

    The bike would be 10 miles away by the end of the song.

    Not even a Christmas song but it resurfaces around that time of year.

    I remember hating that when it came out and it was constantly on MTV! Managed to dodge it this Christmas until now!! I think that's the winner :)

    Also hated this one! There's nothing specifically bad in it. It's just it has David Brent written all over it, only he's not joking :pac:
