Cheesy 80s pop songs/vids you can't help but love?

I really dig that Roxette song. Brings me back to another time.


I like the Skinhead O'connor tune too, but what i REALLY like is the Prince version. It's live with Rosie Gaines singing in it as well. Good God man, it gives me goosebumps anytime I hear it. I've seen it on YT a number of times and it never lasts.

OOOH, I found it. It came out in the 90's, so it doesn't belong here, but I'll go stick it in the Prince thread.

One of my favorite bands since early childhood growing up in the 80s...

Terry Bozzio looks funny with make up on. I wonder if he likes to forget those days. He certainy didn't get to showcase his drumming talent too often.

Very cool thread..some favorites were:

Stones..cheesy but fun to watch


Not sure why but always liked this song by Big Country


Great song, even better when accompanied by one of the better videos from the 80's. Cheese filled but fun to watch.


Finally, just gotta have a Heart video in here. They made plenty of bad ones, but I will choose this gem because of the brutal special effects and uber cool shot of Ann at 2:05 One of my all time favorites to watch.


th-th-th-that's all folks!

^^^^^ Probably the most fun was all those crazy dance moves in the 80's.. The Cabbage patch.. Running Man.. The Roger Rabbit.. The Jerry Lewis.. The snake.. The one that Janet Jackson Started with her song " What Have You Done For Me Lately"


The age of doing the Chicken Neck thing.. In Fact.. I think Duck Face might have spawned from that right after Talk to the hand!!

I don't really know if I love this song, but it's cheesy!
