Bad 80s Video War: Weapons of Mass Destruction
Corey isn't playing nice anymore. Not only did he break out a painfully bad video to counter "Love Is A Battlefield" (Don Johnson's "Heartbeat"), but he's stealing signs, man -- "Heartbeat" was bookmarked in my browser as the next video I was going to pull out of my hat in this little war.
All right, Big C. You wanna play nasty? You wanna take the gloves off? Fine. Take this. We've got comically basic arthritic-finger keyboard playing. We have mounds of aluminum foil surrounded by mirrors. We got chicks in faux-kabuki/warrior makeup, dressed in Hefty bags. We have a red squiggly line appearing out of nowhere and for no discernable reason. And most of all, we have 80s hair! Lots of it.
That's right, big man. I'm breaking out A Flock Of Seagulls on your ass. This trumps your Sheila E. acid wash, Don Johnson's corset-wearing warbling, and Rebbie Jackson. You should just give up now and retreat to the comfort of your sweet new pad along the Gulf Coast, my friend. Don't make me cut you. ;-)
"I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls, ladies and gentlemen.

We might have to go to the judges on this one. This song and video is jammerific. However the rhythm section is killing me with those glasses.
I'm going to keep with the theme and find an even more craptastic Eurotrash from the decade.

this was a great video......u lose for offering it up. This is 80s cheese with a capital 'C'. In a good way

At 9:26 I don't want to declare the war is over, because it ain't. But I will say.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! :)

no one has unleashed Eddie Murphy's "party all the time"

My latest vid has left them speechless.

Or some of us might have been traveling for work and only had time to take a cursory glance at your latest abomination. ;-)

As with most foreign policy, the use of WMDs against, justifies the use of WMDs for counterstrikes. Corey's answer to the above levels the playing field. Right now, the scales are balanced awaiting the impending fallout...
