Ask Beavis and Butthead. That's their forte.:)

at least VH1-Classic wise

I don't think you can get worse than Rise Up by The Parachute Club and Let's Work by Mick Jagger.

Speaking of Mick Jagger: This video may have been in the '90's, Im not sure. But the video of Mick Jagger and David Bowie singing and cavorting their way through "Dancing in the Streets" wholly qualifies as one of the worst videos of any decade.

lol, definately the nadir of David's career.

Mick also had a third atrocious solo video in the 80's, Just Another Night, I do like the song tho, but the video!? :barf:

Isn't the video for "Let's Work" the one where Mick was simply running down the street for four minutes? I agree that was one BAD video.

I've never seen that video. It is a good song though.

did "99 Luftballoons" have a video? If it did, I vote for that.

The song needs to absolutely be shot.

Girls on Film by Duran Duran. I happen to find female mud wrestling a turn-off. :barf:

"Human Touch" by Rick Springfield.

Actually, the entire Rick Springfield video catalog should be burned.

Practically every video I've ever seen from the 80's was bad. I didn't think so at the time but seeing some of them now makes me cringe.

Even "Family Man" by Hall and Oats?

Hmm. I'm not sure I remember that one.

I don't specifically remember it either, but Hall & Oats hairdos were enough to make any of their videos a present day laughing stock. :lol:

Hall and Oates, while I'm a big fan of their music, put out some real stinkers. TJL's vote for "Human Touch" is right on, too. :lol:

Sorry, Rick. :(
