The Bad 80s Video War Is... ON
It's amazing how something that started out so innocent can get so out of hand, isn't it?
It was just a simple post from my good friend Corey... pointing out Billy Squier's prance-fest in the video for "Rock Me Tonite." I pirated shamelessly from Corey's post and reposted it myself, along with a counter offering of Journey. Corey returned the favor and reposted that video. And suddenly Corey and I have found ourselves embroiled in a Bad 80s Video War.
I'll fire the next salvo... Corey, my friend, I dare you to top this: Falco's video for the original (German) version of "Der Kommissar." Game. Freaking. On.

Hilarious.
How about Rockwell's "Somebody's Watchin' Me"?

Wow...I never knew there was a Falco version of this song.
Wait until lunch hour. I got one for you.

I swear I can watch the intro to this video every day.

Falco is HOT! I always thought he was quite handsome even back in the 80's. I won't say how many Falco cassettes I own. ;)

If pressed, I'll admit the video is lame but it brings back memories as I spent the later part of the 80's engaged to a German who danced just like Falco in that video. Let's just say I didn't like to go dancing back then. ;) Let's go do something else, shall we?

Psst! Chris I believe Falco also released a video for "Rock Me Amadeus" here in the States. It's a.....just as interesting as this one. You could toss that at Corey.
